"Jade? Jade, what is it?" JR heard her dad say. But she was too preoccupied to hear the next words he was saying. Then without much of a thought, JR came out of their hiding place.

"JADE!" Jake shouted.

"Please work. Please work. Please work. Please work" JR muttered under her breath as she ran. 'Here goes everything' she thought. "DRAGON UP!" she screamed.

Her scream had surprised the unicorns but it worked. The attacker was distracted so the unicorns could run away.

"You come out!" JR ordered. She was in fact in her dragon form, well, almost.

The shadow did come out to show a boy who was in a Huntsclan uniform (but of course JR didn't know that). His uniform is kinda like the Huntsmaster's only, he didn't have the bonehead thingy for a mask and the fancy cape, and he just covered his face, like the Huntsgirl and only showed his green eyes. And he was carrying the staff of the Huntsclan.

"Well, well, if it isn't a dragon" he sneered. "Where's your tail?" he asked as he saw her missing part.

JR blushed and made the tail appear. "… you… you just shut up! Anyway, what do you think you were doing!" she said.

"I was trying to bring some unicorn horns to my grandfather but I suppose dragon skin will have to do" he replied and attacked.

JR was able to avoid it, though barely. 'What to do what to do what to do what to do what to do what to do' she thought in her head as the Huntsboy kept on attacking.

"What's wrong? Is all the little dragon can do avoid?" Huntsboy taunted which got JR angry.

"Why I outta-" JR began as she charged at him. But he jumped and landed behind her. He was about to cut her in half with his staff fire separated them from each other.

"Daddy!" JR gasped.

Jake, who was also in dragon form, appeared behind the flames. He stared at the Huntsboy darkly. "Leave!" he demanded.

The Huntsboy laughed. "Fine. Til' next time, dragons!" he said before a green ball covered him and he disappeared.

JR returned to her normal form as Fu came to her.

"You ok, kiddo?" he asked as he lend her a hand.

"Yea" she answered, still out of breath. "That… that was amazing! I didn't know that you could-" she stopped as she met her dad's gaze. It wasn't happy one.

"That was risky, Jade" Jake said in a cold tone as he returned to his normal form too.

"I know, daddy but I just-"

"No buts!" Jake said angrily. "How could you just go forward without asking me! Do you have any idea what might have happen! You placed yourself into something you couldn't get out of alone, Jade!" Jake practically shouted.

JR, who has never seen her dad so angry before grew furious too.

"Well, what was I suppose to do! If I told you what I was thinking, it would have been too late! He could have killed the unicorns, daddy! You said it was my duty to protect magical creatures so I did!" JR retorted.

"Well, what you did could have gotten you killed! You were reckless and irresponsible! You're not ready for a battle with any of the Huntsclan!"

JR looked down. "I'm sorry but I couldn't just let anything happen to those unicorns…" she said softly.

Jake's expression softened as he bent down and touched his daughter's shoulder. "You're right. I'm so sorry for yelling at you" he said. "You see, I'm just… well… I…" he tried to say.

"He's having a difficult time of letting go, kiddo" Fu said for him.

Jake growled at him. JR's eyes widened. "Really, daddy?" she asked.

"Yeah… you see, I'm used to being the dragon and I know how dangerous it can be. But I've realized that it isn't my decision anymore" Jake said. "So Jade, answer me, do you want to continue being a dragon and protecting all magical creatures? It requires a great deal of responsibility, remember that" he said.

JR didn't need a second thought. "Most definitely" she answered.

Jake smiled and stood up.

"Just like her dad" Fu smiled to himself. "Hey, so are we going or what? I'm late for my date already!" he said.

Jake and JR shook their heads and smiled.

"What did I tell you, kid? They're back" Fu said as he and Jake were now alone outside of their house. Jake had told JR to go in ahead.

Jake's fist clenched. "Yeah…" he said.

"You know, it might a good time to start her training first thing tomorrow" Fu said.

"I can't. It's her birthday. And I promised Rose that I'd let JR go with her to visit her uncle"

"Well, she better start training" Fu said. "And fast"
