The Date
"Yo Jake it's been a week since you said you wee going to tell her so do it!" exclaimed Trixxie on the ride to school. It was true it had been a week since the dinner and Jake still hadn't told Eve. The reason was Jake was afraid of what she would think of him. They had grown closer over the last week. She even invited him over for dinner. They were alone because her parents were out of town and they sat next to each other. He even swore he felt her leg rub his during the dinner.
"I know Trix, I know I just need to figure out the right way." replied Jake.
"Well hurry up then," said Trixxie sounding a bit annoyed.
"So Jake where are you taking Rose tonight on your date?" asked Spud. Jake had been thinking about it the last two weeks. He had saved a bunch of money and was going to take Rose to a fancy restaurant and a movie.
"Don't worry Jakes got it all figured out," said Jake in his cocky tone.
They arrived to school just in time to get to class. The day went on pretty normally until lunch that is. Trixxie, Spud, and Jake were sitting in a crowded lunchroom until a kid ran in and yelled,
"Come quick there are people fighting on the roof of the school!" Jake immediately looked up and said "Eyes of the Dragon," Through the roof Jake saw Eve fighting with the Huntsman. Jake rushed out of the cafeteria and out behind the school.
"Dragon Up!" Jake transformed and flew to the roof.
"You can't beat me old man," said Eve to the Huntsman.
"You little brat…" growled the Huntsman. He lunged at Eve with all his strength. Eve was too fast for him. She grabbed the staff and began to swing him around. The Huntsman yelled as she let go sending him flying across the roof. Jake landed next to Eve right after she threw the Huntsman.
"Nice throw," he said.
"Thanks," replied Eve.
"You should let me handle the rest," said Jake.
"No way he attacked me first! He's mine!" she exclaimed.
"It's too dangerous!" roared Jake.
"Please, if I have a Dragon with me I can't lose," she said in a cocky tone.
Jake was getting a little angry and worried. Sure they could both take on the Huntsman but it was risky. Jake saw something green whirling at their heads. Jake grabbed Eve and threw them both to the ground. The green blur went over them harmlessly. The Huntsman held a green glowing sword in his hands. They both rolled in opposite directions as the sword came down upon them. Both jumped to there feet but Eve was the first to attack.
She ran at the Huntsman at top speed. She jumped in the air and spun kicked the Huntsman in the head. Jake took the opening and smacked the Huntsman across the roof with his tail. The Huntsman hit the ground with a crash. He slowly got up and faced his two opponents.
"Had enough yet old man!" said Eve. The Huntsman did not respond. Instead he raised his staff and teleported away.
Eve looked toward the Dragon who had just helped her. It was the same one from last time. Could this be the American Dragon? She wondered.
"Thanks for the help," she said. The dragon looked at her for a moment before answering.
"Don't mention it," he said, "So where did you learn to fight like that?" he asked.
"Around… so umm… are you the American Dragon?" she asked.
The dragon seemed a little a taken back by her sudden question.
"Yeah I am," he answered.
"Hey I've been looking for you my names Eve and I…" she was cut off by the end of lunch bell.
"Darn I have to run," she said as she gave him a piece of paper.
"Go to that address at the day and time written. See you around American Dragon," with that she ran and leaped off the building before Jake could get a word in.
After school Jake hurried home to get ready. He took a shower, got dressed in the suit he wore to the school dance in, and gathered his money. Fu Dog would be by soon with the car he was going to make appear as a limo. So he waited until he heard a horn honk outside. So he said good-bye to his family and went out to the car. Fu had done an excellent job. It looked just like a real limo. So he got into the car and Fu drove off. Fu was dressed as a professional driver.
They arrived at Rose's house at seven o'clock. Jake raced up the stairs to the door and knocked. After a minute Rose answered the door. She was dressed in a bright sparkly blue dress. Jake was immediately lost in her beauty.
"Well how do I look?" she asked.
"You look absolutely fizzine," he replied.
"Well shall we go?" Jake held out his arm and Rose took it. Jake led her down the stairs and to the limo. Rose gasped as she saw it.
"Jake you really went all out!" she said. Jake could tell she was impressed. So he opened the door for her and she got in. He followed and shut the door.
"Where to?" asked Fu Dog.
"To the eight mile creek restaurant." Jake answered in a cocky tone.
"That's one of the best restaurants in the city," Rose said.
"Only the best for the best," Jake replied looking into her eyes. Rose blushed at Jake's remark. The limo began to move and the date had begun.
Once the limo stopped Jake got out and he held out his hand. Rose took it and he helped her out of the car. The door shut and the limo drove away. Jake took Rose inside and to the front desk.
"May I help you?" asked the woman at the desk.
"Yes I have a reservation for two under the name Jake Long," Jake said smoothly
"Oh, yes I see, follow me to your table," the woman led them into the dining area and seated them at a window table.
"Oh Jake this is so nice," Rose said. Jake just smiled and looked at Rose. He was so happy that they finally were on a date. He had been looking forward to it for a long time. Now they were together and things were going great.
After ordering food and drink they talked about stuff. After eating and paying for the food they left for the movies. When they got there they picked an action film, which they had both agreed on.
After the movie (which they both loved) Jake decided to walk Rose home. They talked about school, the movie, and other things on the way. When they finally reached Rose's door they faced each other to say goodnight.
"Well I had a great night," Rose said.
"Yeah it was awesome," replied Jake. Jake and Rose began to get closer to each other. Their lips almost touching when Rose's uncle opened the door and pulled her in the house.
"Aw Man!" Jake said. He was about to leave when the door flew open and Rose came out. Suddenly she kissed him on the lips. The kiss was a second long but felt so good.
"Good night Jake," Rose said as she went back inside her house. Jake ran, flipped, and cart wheeled down the stairs and out the door.
"Dragon Up YO!" Jake said transforming into a dragon and flying home.
Little did he know? The Huntsmaster was now chuckling to himself. He had seen Jake transform. He now knew the identity of the American Dragon.
A/N; I don't own Jake Long but Eve is mine! Please R&R.
