Chapter 13: A Plan Of Action

"Jake...? Jake!" Grandpa shouted in Jake's ear.

He shot up off the ground instantly.

"Wha, what? What happened?"

Grandpa sighed and shook his head.

"You fell asleep again, young one.."

"Aww, man..."

"Young dragon, you must stay alert! You can't afford to fall asleep again! The Huntsclan could show up anytime!"

"A'ight, 'G. I'm on it!"

He yawned. He laid back down and put his head on his arms.

"Maybe I'll just rest my eyes for a few minutes since I can't see the Huntsclan showing up too soon..."

5 minutes later, Jake was sound asleep.

"Rose...no! Come back!" he said in his sleep. "Just because I'm a dragon it doesn't mean you have to hate me!"

FLASH INTO JAKE'S DREAM

Jake has just told Rose his deepest, darkest secret. He is her arch foe, the American Dragon.

Jake frowns, seeing the shock in Rose's eyes.

"R-Rose?" he asks, "A-are you...okay..?"

He moves closer to her.

Rose says nothing, but starts to back away slowly, a nervous look on her face.

"Rose?" Jake asks again.

Rose blinks, and looks at ake wide eyed, as if she's seeing the real him for the first time.

"J-J-Jake?" she stammers.

"Yeah?"

"This isn't true. It can't be. I know you're just playing a mean joke with information you got somewhere. I promise if you confess that you're lying now, I'll still love you."

Jake sighs.

"You're not going to believe me unless I give you solid proof, are you?"

Rose folds her arms and shakes her head.

"Nope!"

Jake sighs again and shrugs.

"As you wish, Rose. This should be enough evidence for you.." he replies, and changes into his dragon form.

Rose gasps.

"I-it-it can't be true! It can't be!" She cries and she turns and bolts away from Jake.

"Wait, Rose!" Jake calls. "Aww c'mon! I know, I know! I'm a dragon. But, that's no reason to stop talking to me!"

END JAKE'S DREAM

Jake groaned and slapped some air in his sleep. He woke right up and jumped to his feet when he heard someone call him.

"Jake? Jake!"

Where was that coming from!

"Gramps, did you hear that?" Jake asked.

"Yes." Grandpa replied. He pointed up into the sky. "It is coming from up there."

"Huh?"

Jake looked up in the sky. He used his dragon eyesight and easily made out the figures of two dragons. He recognized one as Magenta, but the other one (who was much smaller, about 1 foot tall) he didn't recognize at all.

'I'd better see what they want.' He thought.

"Dragon up!"

Jake's body became surrounded in flames and when they subsided, Jake was now in his dragon form.

"Magenta, you'd better have a good reason for coming out here." he mumbled.

He flew over to the two dragons.

"Jake!" Magenta cried, heaving a sigh of relief.

"Magenta." Jake replied. His face looked expectant. "Why did you leave Fu Dog alone at the sho-" he started to say, but then he noticed the upset expression on Magenta's face. "Wha-what's the matter?" he asked in a more gentle tone.

"Oh, Jake!" Magenta cried, "It's horrible! Just horrible!" She burst into tears.

"Woah, woah!" Jake replied. "What's the problem?"

Magenta wordlessly flew over to Jake and handed him the randsom note from the Huntsclan.

Jake and the others flew down onto the Statue of Liberty. Jake read the note and when he was done, he let out a startled gasp.

"Uh, Gramps? You might wanna.. -he handed Grandpa the note- ..read this.."

"Aiiyyyahhh!" Grandpa shouted when he'd finished reading. "Fu Dog is in trouble!"

"Uh huh." Magenta said through choked sobs.

Then Grandpa noticed the small dragon who was standing next to her.

"Who is this?" he asked Magenta.

"I'm Rainbow." the small dragon replied. "I'm known as the Rainbow dragon, but I like Rainbow."

Magenta dried her tears.

"I should explain." she said, "You see, I ran into Rainbow -she's my friend- on my way here. She asked why I was in such a hurry, and I told her. That's when she insisted on coming along to help out."

"Any friend of Magenta's is a friend of mine." Rainbow added, "So I'm going to do what I can to help save Fu Dog."

"We are very grateful for your help." Grandpa said.

"Yeah." Jake replied. Then without realizing it, he added, "Boy! You sure are short!"

Then he realized what he'd said.

"Oopse!"

Grandpa nudged him in the ribs.

Rainbow just laughed.

"It's Okay. I know I'm short. I get that from almost everybody!" she giggled.

Jake laughed.

Magenta cleared her throat.

"So, anybody got a plan?"

"Yes, Grandpa replied, but it is risky."

Jake clenched his fists.

"Bring it on!"

"I'll do anything to help Fu Dog!" Magenta added.

"And I'll do anything to help you help Fu Dog!" Rainbow added.

"Okay, then." Grandpa said.

The four dragons gathered in a tight circle.

"Here's what we do..."
