Rating: PG-13

AN: O.o IluvSmallvilleDBZSailormoon and Jake Long, I hope thatyou guys didn't think that when I said the end I meant the end of the story. That was just where I decided to end the chapter; Her Fate is far from finished.

Distrust

"It's all in the past, Rose. We're not fighting anymore, there's no reason to feel bad; I forgive you." Jake cooed.

After a few minutes she began to calm down. She took in a deep breathe and moved her head from his chest. Jake held her face and wiped her tears from her face. Her eyes were bloodshot and her face was flushed but she still looked beautiful to him.

"Sorry about that." She said; looking at his shirt, which was soaked.

He shrugged, "Now I don't have to wash it."

She smiled at him and stood up, "Sorry about breaking down too."

He stood and looked down at her, "You needed it; it's all good."

She opened her mouth to say something else but Jake placed his hand over her mouth, "And if I hear 'sorry' come outta your mouth one more time I'm gonna staple your lips shut."

She raised an eyebrow and looked at him incredulously, "Please. Don't bother me with empty threats."

He raised his eyebrow and mirrored her expression, "You think I won't?"

She smirked, "I know you won't."

"What makes you so sure?"

She stepped on her tiptoes and looked up into his eyes, since on her tiptoes she could only reach his nose. "Because we both know I'd kick your ass before you had the chance."

He chuckled, "Says the girl who lost just about every fight we've ever been in."

"I let you win."

"Oh, really?"

"Subconsciously, yes."

"Uh huh." He replied, disbelieving.

"Jake, if I really had the mind to kill you, you would've been gone the first time I fought you."

"Now, see… I don't believe that. No one can take down the Am-Drag, baby."

"Says the boy who had to be saved just about every time we fought."

"Hey, you never played fair. You had that stick thing."

"Hey, you can breathe fire and have wings, it was totally fair."

Suddenly the two burst into laughter.

"Well, that's that. Ya'll have gone plumb crazy." Gracie concluded as she and everyone else walked into the front of the shop.

"I am not," she paused, gasping for breath, "c-crazy…" she said, trailing off into laughter once again.

"One minute you're bawlin' like a baby and the next you're laughin' like a hyena on crack. Don't tell me you're not crazy."

This only served to make them laugh harder. Spud sighed sadly and shook his head, "The impact of so much information in such a small amount of time has reeked havoc on their poor minds. Poor Jake, poor Rose." He dropped to his knees and reached his arms out to the ceiling and cried out, "Why did it have to be this way! Why?"

"Chill, Spud, we didn't lose our minds." Jake told him after composing himself.

"Yo, that's what you say." Trixie scoffed, "I'm out. Spud, I check you later, baby."

"See ya, sweetheart." He replied. Jake sighed; Trixie was not going to make this easy on him.

"I should be going too. I'll see you at home, Gracie." Rose said.

"Want me to walk you home?" Jake asked her hopefully.

She shook her head, "No, I'm good. You stay here; I'll see you all later."

----

Once Rose stepped outside she saw Trixie leaning against a tree, glaring at her. She walked over to the blonde girl.

Rose glared back at her. Both women stood there, each giving the other a heated glare hoping to intimidate the other into backing down.

Trixie was the first to speak, "You have them all fooled, you should be proud, girl." She sneered.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Like hell you don't. You leave for seven years and come back all noble and junk. Congrats, you got them all fooled. The fake tears were a nice touch too and that speech, you're a good actress."

"Trixie, stop talking about things you don't understand. It makes you seem ignorant."

"Yeah right, I'm on to you. You found out about the Protectors and junk and you came up with this plan to lead Jake in to a false sense of security, you even got Gracie to help you with your messed up game. You have them all tricked but you don't fool me."

"Why don't you believe me?"

"'Cause I'm too smart for that; I don't trust you, Rose, and I'm watching you." With that said, she pushed passed her.

Rose rolled her eyes and went on her way home.

----

Neither noticed the figure in the trees. Marissa jumped out of the tree onto the ground.

She had been spying on them. It was too good. Not only would she kill Rose but Rose had actually led her straight to the American Dragon! It was amazing, truly amazing.

Marissa had watched everything. She never actually left the shop. When Rose showed up and everyone went into the back room, she had snuck in and listened to everything.

Then when Rose and Jake came out, she hurried and hid herself. While they were preoccupied with the waterworks Rose was spouting, she went outside.

Jake was the American Dragon. Brilliant. She never liked that idiot; she couldn't believe she never realized it before.

That hick was a magical creature, and Sabrina ran away to marry the father. Rose wanted to recreate the Protectors, now Marissa couldn't have that.

Thank God for little Trixie. The woman made her distrust of the blonde more than obvious. She'll be easy to manipulate to the Huntsclan's advantage.

Marissa smiled a truly evil smirk as a plan began to form in her twisted mind.

There's that; the end of the chapter not the story. Any who, I know it's short and kinda boringbut it's another set up chapter.I hope you liked it anyway, please review.
