Chapter 9 - The Plan

Comments from the author: I just finished watching the American Dragon: Jake Long today and I just saw a commercial about the episode, Jake Takes the Cake. Finally! I thought that they would never air a new episode until October. Anyway, here's the ninth chapter for you and I hope all you American Dragon: Jake Long fans can watch Jake Takes the Cake on Friday, August 26, 2005. Well, one more chapter until the end...

After reading the notes about the one from the other, both of them went out the rooms that they were searching for clues for the suspicious act of mischief.

Jake's POV

The note I read that Rose wrote about me really made me feel a bit differently. It also made me realize that I felt the same way too. I sighed. 'Time to make my move.' I thought.

"Umm, Rose. You know, we've known each other for a long time. And I've been thinking..." I started saying.

"Thinking what?" Rose asked, paying close attention. I wanted to bail out of this conversation, thinking I wasn't ready. I then reconsidered that thought and sighed once again.

"Well, I've been thinking that maybe I our relationship can be more than just friends." I continued. "A-a-are you asking me to be your girlfriend?" Rose asked, feeling a little surprised.

I felt a little nervous. "If you put it that way, yes." I said. She squealed. "Oh, Jake! I don't know what to say!" Rose said.

"Is that your way of saying yes?" I asked, making sure if I was thinking correctly. "Uh, in a way, yes." Rose replied. I smiled.

Rose's POV

I was so happy. I couldn't even believe that Jake would ever ask me to be his girlfriend. I smiled.

"On one condition." I replied. "Name it." Jake said. "You get to my boyfriend." I said, trying to get humorous. Jake giggled a bit. "Of course." He said.

I never thought that this day would come. I sighed. Suddenly, I heard the front door open. We both gasped. "Uh, now might be a good time to figure something out." I said.

Jake and I were about to run and hide, but it was too late. My uncle appeared in front of us. "Ah, if it isn't the American Dragon." He smirked.

Normal POV

"Uh yeah. I brought him here so I can slay him." Rose said, winking back at Jake.

Jake winked back. "I'm ready to do it. Anytime, anywhere." He said, trying to sound angry.

"Say, what about you get me a staff so you can see me slay this dragon once and for all?" Rose asked.

"That's my girl. I'll get it." The Huntsman said, disappearing. "So what are we going to do?" Rose asked.

"I know just the plan." Jake said. Rose nodded and followed Jake in to a room.
