An Unlikely Team

Chapter Eighteen: The Way Things Are Supposed to Be

Centaur Bush looked like a normal bush to mortals, but the fruit it bore was not normal. Small, shimmering, silver spheres dotted the bush, but they were only visible at night. The reason it was called Centaur Bush was because the fruits attracted countless numbers of Centaurs, the amazing and beautiful half-horse, half-man creatures. Every night, many of these beautiful creatures gathered at the bush and ate the berries, and many people of the magical race came to watch the magnificent sight. If you knew anything about magic, you knew where it was.

So this is where Jake waited for Rose after school, pacing up and down in front of the bush, random thoughts darting through his mind, such as, What if she gets scared and runs away? I am telling her that she's in danger. Or even, What if she doesn't show up?

After five minutes of seemingly endless pacing and worrying, there was a rustle, and Rose came into sight. Jake took a deep breath, then advanced toward her. "Uh... Hey, Rose," he said awkwardly.

"Hi, Jake," she said. She seemed a little nervous too. "So... why did you ask me to meet you out here?"

"Well, there's something I've gotta tell you..."

"Go on."

"Today... before I left for school, Gramps pulled me aside, and told me..."

"Told you what?"

"He told me... that you are in danger."

Rose snorted in laughter. This wasn't the reaction he'd expected at all.

"What's so funny?" the boy asked, taken aback.

"Nothing. It's just... it's obvious, isn't it?"

"It is?"

"Well, I did turn against the Huntsclan. They're going to want revenge. But don't worry about that. I'll be fine, I can handle them."

"See, that's not all you're in danger of, though."

"What else could there be?"

"Well, G said that you were in danger of the Dragon Council. He said if they find out, you could be thrown in jail... or worse."

Rose sighed, suddenly looking well beyond her years. "At first I thought about that, but I let it go, thinking that no one would tell them that I am... was... Huntsgirl. I guess your grandfather felt it was his duty."

"No!" said Jake. "He didn't tell them!"

Rose looked up in surprise. "He didn't? But... who did?"

"No one... he just said that it was possible for them to find out, and he said that they would eventually. But he also said that when they do, we will do all that we can to protect you, and fight for you."

"Really?" Tears of gratitude shone in the girl's brilliant blue eyes. Jake was suddenly struck by the concept of how beautiful she was, and not only on the outside, but in her heart as well.

Looking into her enchanting eyes, he stammered, "He - he also said that for now, we need to savor our friendship and watch out for each other. I think it's a good idea. What about you?"

"Couldn't think of a better one myself." She leaned over and gave him a kiss on the lips. For a few moments, Jake stood dumbfounded. Then he regained his composure and offered Rose his arm.

"Shall we?"

"We shall." Jake knew that there would be many dangers ahead of them, but as he walked along the path, holding Rose's hand, his life seemed to be perfect. He thought about how none of this would have happened if Monkey Fist and Huntsman hadn't teamed up and if Kim hadn't come to the rescue. He decided to thank her yet again the next time he talked to her.

They arrived at Trixie's house, where Rose was to stay until things got settled. "Bye, Rose," said Jake, staring once more into her amazing eyes, not wanting to look away.

"Bye, Jake, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Right on!" he said. Then they kissed.

"Goodbye, Jake," said Rose, then disappeared into the house.

"See ya," replied Jake. When the door closed, he smiled brightly. He morphed into dragon form and soared off into the sunset, scales shining like rubies, elation filling his heart. Finally something had gone right. This is the way things should be.
