Author's Note: This story takes place RIGHT after the episode 'The Hunted' where Rose finds out Jake is the American Dragon and leaves to be transferred.

Chapter One - Dragon Tails

Jake awakened on a bright Saturday morning and climbed out of bed. He had a full day of skating with Trixie and Spud planned, and a small amount of time he had to devote to more dragon training. He hadn't had as much to worry about in the 'magical creature' protection area since Rose, also known as Huntsgirl, was now gone.

He remembered the details of the day perfectly. It had been a week ago, and after Huntsgirl had finally managed to trap Jake, he morphed himself human, letting Rose see that the one she was ready to destroy was the one she loved. He was lost in thought as a knock was heard from his door.

"Jake, get up," It was Haley; Jake's younger, slightly annoying sister. Jake came back to his senses and got up throwing his clothes on and grabbing his skateboard. He opened the door and dashed past his sister, who turned and stuck her tongue out at him. Jake slid down the stairway, and headed into the kitchen, where he was greeted by his mother who was setting up breakfast.

Jake sat down, but only ate his toast and drank his juice before getting up again. He strapped his helmet on, and was out the door almost immediately to join his friends.

Now at the park, Jake met up with Trixie and Spud, but, because of the fact he was preoccupied in his thoughts, he bumped right into Trixie, who whipped around, and looked at him. "Yo Jakey, what's up with you?"

"Nothing really," he said, trying to shake loose the thought of Rose.

"Boy, don't tell me you're still tripping over Rose," Trixie put her hand on her hips. "We've been over this, It's not your fault she left."

"Still... why did she have to move?" Jake pushed off on his skateboard, not even noticing he had bumped right into a pair of girls who looked like twins. "Oh, sorry about that."

"That's alright," one of the girls said. "I should have been watching where I was going."

Jake smiled a bit. "My name's Jake Long, what might your names be?"

Spud knew that Jake was trying to pour on the charm as usual, and made to say something, but instead kept his mouth shut and looked on.

"I'm Kiana Song, and this is my sister Kiara." Kiana's voice was very sweet, which seemed to have attracted Jake.

"Well, it's nice to meet you both," Jake ran his fingers through his hair. He then looked toward Kiara, and offered his hand to shake. Kiara, though, said and did nothing at all.

"Don't worry about Kiara. She's always like this." Kiana gave her sister a nudge who simply grumbled a bit. "Anyway, it was a pleasure to meet you."

Jake smiled and waved as the pair walked off.

"Jake, are you alright?" Spud asked, waving his hand in front of Jake, who now looked as though he were in a trance.

Trixie nudged Jake again. "Jakey, you with us buddy?"

"Huh," Jake focused again. "Yeah, yeah, I'm here. C'mon. Let's do some skating."

Meanwhile, within the Huntslair, Huntsmaster was busy preparing his new recruit for the job he had set out.
