THAT BE ALL THE CHARACTERS!
Now...
This chapter will feature no dragon action yet. Originally, it was going to, but I realized that I need something from a few of you. I'll tell you what it is now.
CelloSolo2007: imitates Taco Bell commercial It's good to go. In other words, your character is fine. Just one thing- character's hair color, please?
angelofsorrow227: Yours is fine as well. Good to go.
AmericanDragonFan: Now that we cleared up the one issue with the pics, you're fine. If I have any questions, I'll leave you a PM at the forums.
Lavenderpaw: One question of you. What can Sitara do in her dragon form? Ice? Fire? Neither? Just tell me that, and you're fine.
Stranger: No worries, mon. Yours is fine.
kIrEigIrL: One thing- that name you gave me in Celtic- is that her dragon name, or what? I'm dumb, I dunno.
Polydactyl: Like, two things. First- can a have a bit more of a description of your human form? And also, what's his age? That be all.
Americandragondude: Need a little more info on Chris's human form. How old is he? What does he look like? Things along those lines. Dragon form is fine.
KmDefr: No problems, yo!
Ok... Think it's gonna start now. Will be kinda short, but should be a little better as we go on.

Jake Long sat on the rooftop of his Grandpa's shop early one Saturday morning, admiring the warmth of the sunshine, taking as much as he could in, until the time came when...
"Jake!", Grandpa screamed from the street below, "Training begins in five minutes! DO NOT BE LATE!"
He sighed, wondering why he still had to train with Grandpa, even though he had been the American Dragon for almost eight months now. In fact, he had planned on going with Trixie and Spud to New Jersey to see a skateboarding competition. But the previous day, Grandpa decided it'd be a great day for some dragon training. Whoo-pee.
He had time, so Jake decided to stay up there a little bit longer, before he headed down there.
"Today's training", Grandpa said as soon Jake was in sight, "Is not much of a training session, if you want to be technical. All you have to do is meet some people down in the Magical Village, and you'll be briefed by one of my old friends there."
"Sounds intriguing", said Jake sarcastically, "So who do I have to meet? And why?"
"I'll let you find out for yourself. Just go to the 411 Helium Bar, about mid-town, and you'll find them there."
"Um... don't you mean Oxygen Bar? Helium's like..."
"No, I mean Helium. Not all living creatures can stay alive on oxygen and oxygen only. Thought you knew that. Now hurry; I wish to watch 'Date My Mom' in peace."
(End)
The Magical Village was always busy on a Saturday. Walking traffic seemed to come to a standstill at times. And considering that the place Jake needed to visit was pretty deep into the town, it could take a while.
But soon enough, after being mobbed by many a salesman, there it was: the 411 Helium Bar. Considering the number of times Jake had been in the village, he was surprised to see this bar. It looked kinda new- on the outside, that is.
He walked inside, and there was barely anyone there. Maybe, like, two people. And neither even looked up to acknowledge Jake.
"Why, hello!", a squeaky voice said behind him. Jake spun around to see a man, maybe mid-30's. Looked normal. Except he had an extremely high voice, "You must be Jake Long."
"Er... yeah", Jake shook the guy's hand, "I think I was supposed to meet some people here?"
"Ah, yes, the back room", he pointed to a back hallway, "Second door on the left. If you reach the bathrooms, you've gone too far. Please do try some of our world famous helium here!"
"Think I'll pass...", Jake muttered as he walked to this 'back room'.
There it was, the second door on the left. And outside it sat a small pink dog.
Pink. Um, okay...
He got to the door, and looked down at the dog. It stared forward, as if Jake wasn't even standing there.
Jake bent to the ground, and looked at the dog. "Uh... are you real?"
The pink dog bit his leg.
Think that classifies as real.
Jake, as he rubbed his throbbing leg, heard laughter from inside the room.
The door opened, and there sat 7 kids and 1 adult, some about to roll around on the ground in laughter. In fact, one already was.
"The new guy is HERE!", a voice announced from behind Jake. Wait... the only thing that had been behind him was the dog, right?
"Heh, nice one, 'Genta", a bulky kid who looked to be about 16 said.
"Thanks", a black-haired girl walked up alongside Jake, who was still confused."Hi. Jake Long, right?"
"Uh... yeah..."
"Sorry 'bout that back there. It's all Rachel's fault!", she stared in the direction of a short, black-haired girl.
"Yeah, right, that was your idea, Magenta!", Rachel laughed.
"Wait. So... you were the dog?", Jake asked Magenta.
"Yeah, I'm a shapeshifter. Didn't ya know?"
"No. I don't know any of you."
"Perhaps I should explain, then", the lone adult in the room stood up. He had silvery-gray hair, kinda walked as if he was losing feeling in his legs, and had a gruff voice, "Welcome, American Dragon. My name is Richard Simmons. And now, I am not that guy that does exercises on TV."
"You look like him", said a girl with brunette hair that looked a bit Spanish spoke up. Everyone laughed.
"For your information, Sitara, I have never even met the guy", he turned back to Jake, "Don't mind them. Anyway, I am a good friend of your Grandfather's. And these... CIRCUS FREAKS... back here are your new friends for the next few days. Hey!"
As soon as Richard had put emphasis on the words 'circus freaks', what looked to be a rain cloud appeared over his head, and rain poured onto his head. "Serina! Stop it!"
"Wow, you're getting good at that, Serina!", a boy wearing a skateboarding shirt piped up.
"I know I'm awesome, Chris", Serina replied in a heavy Australian accent. With a wave of her hand, the cloud disappeared.
Richard stood there, soaked, and glared intently at Serina, before turning back to Jake, "Well... like I said, you'll get to know these guys pretty well the next few days."
"Why?"
"Haven't you heard?", Magenta asked, "You're our new tutor!"
"Tutor? What? Dude, you guys must be crazy. What can I do that I could tutor you on?"
"Hey, Midge, you wanna show him?", Magenta asked.
"Why not?", a short girl with a T-shirt that said, 'Unless you're cute, get lost!", stood up and seemed to go into a trance. She was surrounded by a bronze glow, until she could no longer be seen.
And then the glow faded, and there stood a bronze-colored dragon with a green stomach and pink spikes. It was amazing to see how much taller she was now. Before she had been barely taller than Jake (and Jake was short!), and now her head was almost touching the ceiling!
"That's why?", Richard said.
"So she's a dragon?"
"Not only her. All of us are", a girl named Adrianna spoke up. Mr. Simmons is gonna be gone, so you're gonna help us along with our powers until we're really good at it."
"Oh. And, uh... how good are you guys now?"
No one spoke up, before the dragon, Midge, said, "Well... I'm the only one that's known about their powers for more than two weeks, if that's what you mean."
"Wow", sighed Jake, "I'll have some work to do then, won't I?"
"Yes, you will. But fear not, they're pretty easy to work with", Richard said.
"Um, Mr. Simmons?", the bulky kid said, "The reason you're leaving is you said you couldn't work well with us, right?"
"Er... yes, PD, that's right. But I had to leave soon anyway, so...", Richard said to Jake, "I think I'll get out of here before something happens. But before I do, I'll introduce them all."
"You've already met Magenta", he said, "She has a dragon form, but she's a shapeshifter. So she can help you out on a couple of things."
"The dragon- she's Ayla, but she prefers to be called Midge. Don't ak me why, she never talks to me."
"Rachel. She's the one with the black hair over there", he pointed over in Rachel's direction, who responded with a wave, "She is vry quick. That makes her a pretty good addition."
"The girl that looks Spanish over there, her name's Sitara. She's pretty quiet and may daydream a lot, but she's a pretty awesome fighter. Oh, and although she may be Mexican, she's also Jewish. So no jokes about Jewish people, because I know there's been a lot of those floating around lately."
"You started it, Mr. Simmons", Sitara grumbled.
"Um... anyway, the next girl, she's Adrianna. If you see her eyes glow, get out of the way, because weird things might happen. She's got a pet Phoenix, but I have no clue where that thing went. It's around here somewhere, I guess. She's kind of a loner, and definitely likes to work alone. In fact, if you can get her to work with someone else, I'll eat my hat."
"You don't have a hat, but I'd still pay to see that", Adrianna muttered.
"The next guy's PD. Don't ask his real name, because he won't tell you. Believe me, I've tried. He was a weird power as a dragon... I'll let you find it out for yourself."
"That's Chris", he pointed to the kid in the corner that seemed more interested in his skateboard than the introductions, "Be warned, he likes to flirt with just about every girl he meets."
"The last kid- her name's Serina. She's from Australia. And as you saw earlier, she can make it rain any time she wants to. So don't make her mad."
Jake looked around at all the kids. They all seemed his age... how hard could it be?
"Is this all?"
"No", a voice came from the doorway. A figure in a trenchcoat walked in.
"And you are?", Richard asked.
"Call me Ryu", it was a male, that much was certain. But there was nothing else that could be made out about him.
"Ah... so you were the other guy they were talking about", PD said.
"Yeah, I guess..."
"Well, I'll leave you all to, uh... get acquainted", Richard slowly backed away until he was in the doorway, "Take care, everyone. Have fun, Jake'
And as he walked out the door, a small rain cloud followed him once more.
END CHAPTER
Um... there it is. Not all that great of a chapter, but that's how some intro chapters are. Once I have all the info I need from some of you, we'll be good to go! So all of you that need to give me something, please do in your reviews. If not, then give me some Sprite. And no shaking it up::stares at Ayla: I mean it. I'll throw something at you. I don't know what I'll be, but it won't be pretty! Maybe I'll throw my Arby's sandwich at you. Ok, funny story. We bought ten Arby's sanwiches. We ate 8. So two were left over. I get one out for lunch today, and you know how they're in the foil wrappers, like most fast food restaurants do? Well, I forgot to take the wrapper off. Put it in the microwave, walk away, hear a zapping noise, run over and my sandwich is getting zapped by some lightning spark thingy. Funny, now that I look back on it. But not funny while it was happening. It burnt a hole in the wrapper, but not in the sandwich, luckily. The moral of the story? Don't put foil in the microwave, fools!

Um... read and review! Later!
