"So you mean to tell me that you knew you were both a slayer and a protector of magical creatures yet you still didn't tell your dad or me?" Rose said. The three of them had gone back to their house, picking up Fu Dog on the way, after the Huntsclan had left.
"Well, yea- I mean, no, not exactly, I'd say that I was… er… trying to find the best time to… uh…tell you guys" JR replied.
"Or in other words, you really just didn't want to tell them" Fu inserted. JR glared at him.
"Look, you-"
"Jade" Jake said seriously as Rose stared oddly at Fu.
"I'm still not used to the talking dog" she said.
"Takes some time to, mom" JR responded.
"Don't try and change the topic" Jake said.
"Ok, ok. So, I needed some time to think about it. It wasn't easy, you know" JR said pointedly.
"Oh, honey. You shouldn't have kept it a secret that long, you should have told us" Rose said.
"Yea and what if you guys would murder each other?"
"We'd never do that" Jake said, stealing a sideway glance at Rose.
"That's so easy to believe, especially since you had recently fought each other to death" JR replied sarcastically.
"Please understand, Jade. Jake and I were mortal enemies since we were your age, we couldn't have helped it if we wanted to destroy each other" Rose said. "But it's different now"
"So you guys aren't going to divorce or anything?"
"No, we won't but we'll need a private chat with each other" Jake said as he caught eye contact with Rose.
"You won't go kicking each other again, right?"
"Jade"
"Just making sure" she replied with a sheepish grin.
Rose sighed. "We'll talk more with you tomorrow after school. Go to bed" she said.
JR pouted. "But I wanna-"
Jake gave her a long unblinking stare.
"Going" she said swiftly as she stood up. "Fu will stay with me right?" she asked.
"Forget it, kiddo. I'm going back to the shop-"
"Fu, go with her" Jake commanded. "You're her guardian, may I remind you?"
"Alright, fine" he said and went up with her.
The two stepped instead JR's room and as soon as Fu closed the door, JR fell on the bed.
"What's going to happen, Fu?" JR asked. "Daddy found out mom's her enemy and mom found out daddy's hers. Not only that, the Huntsmaster knows I'm a dragon. What's going to happen now?"
"Wish I could tell you, kid but I'm no oracle" Fu answered.
"I'm worried. What if something bad happens?"
"You fret too much"
"Fu!" JR said as she sat up and stared angrily at him. "I'm serious, I really don't want anything to happen to my parents"
"I know you don't, so do I. But there are just times when all you can do is believe that everything's going to be fine. It's much better than dreading whatever's going to happen, trust me" Fu responded as he smiled at her.
JR sighed. "I suppose you're right"
"But really, all this is interfering with your mission!" Fu suddenly added. Then, a look of horror replaced his face as JR abruptly looked at him.
"Uh… you weren't supposed to hear that…"
Just out of curiosity… who do you guys think is the "he" in Kara's prediction?
