American Dragon: Jake Long, Dragon Double

By Dark Magician Boy

Chapter 3:Movie Theatre Mayhem

Jake slouched while his family trouped ahead, and he waited at a table waiting for Rose, eating a large slice of cheese pizza.

He still hadn't met this Jade girl, and apparently, she liked the movie Rose and Jake were seeing better than the one his family was seeing, so she would be with them, silent as a mouse.

(Terra Nova, just got your review, and I will try my best to be a big sponsor of the A.D.J.L. section of And don't worry. This is a chappy where Rose and Jake almost kiss, but it is interrupted by something which you gotta find out right now. Or, later at least)

"Jake!" a female voice called, and Jake turned his head to see Rose in the tickets line. "I'll be there in a few minutes!"

Jake's annoyances were washed away when he was graced with Rose's goddess face. He was so woozy by Rose's image, that he didn't feel the tap on his shoulder until thirty seconds later, and he looked up to see a seventeen year old girl.

She was tall, wore a purple spaghetti strap top, baggy jeans, lavender sandals, had chopped black hair with a violet outline, black eyes, and a bracelet that Jake could have sworn was pure amethyst. It looked like this girl was seriously into the color purple.

"Uh, do I know you?" Jake asked, and the girl smiled.

"I'm your older cousin, Jade. I was there in the hospital when you were first born. You probably wouldn't remember me," she said.

"She sounds like Jasmine" Jake thought, thanking himself that Fu Cat was not there, and Rose walked over with a jumbo popcorn and three tickets.

"So, is this your older cousin, Jade that you told me about over the phone?" Rose asked, and she turned to Jade.

"So, you like Egypt too?" Jade said.

"How did you know?" Rose asked, half laughing.

"Lucky guess," Jade said, shrugging, but Grandpa had informed Jake that Jade was an oracle in training. And since she was in training, she often misinterpreted the message from the Temple of the Oracle.

"I hear you like acting," Rose said, as they handed their tickets to the ticket checker at the door of the theatre.

"Ah yes. Acting is my life," she said, flinging her arms dramatically into the air and earning several stares from the other patrons. Rose began grinning.

"I don't believe it. Me too! Jake and I just finished the play, Antony and Cleopatra," Rose said.

"So how did Act 4, Scene 15 go?" Jade asked playfully as they took their seats. It was supposed to be Jake in the middle, but it had somehow switched to Rose in the middle, so she could talk to both Jake and Jade.

"Well, right before the play, I broke my leg due to a family incident. So," Rose began to giggle, "Jake had to kiss his best friend, Spud!" she yelled, and they both started cracking up.

"Well, they seem to be content with each other," Jake thought, and the lights began to dim as the movie started.

But of course, Jake couldn't hear it due to the gossip of Rose and Jade. He seriously wanted to yell at them, but he couldn't do that to Rose.

Jake settled back, and slowly drifted to sleep, while images of Rose danced in his head.

Suddenly, a loud part of the movie made Jake jump nearly seven feet up. It was the end of the first half of the double feature.

"That was so amazing when the hero chopped through the monster, and both halves became two monsters," Jade said, and Rose agreed as they moved through to the front of the snack line and bought a few drinks and another jumbo popcorn.

Rose and Jade chatted while Jake walked groggily behind them, about to fall asleep on the floor.

The checker checked each of their tickets, and they were each readmitted, and they walked up the flights of stairs to their waiting seats.

Jake plopped down onto his seat next to Rose, and the two girls began chatting again until the words PART 2 blared onto the screen, and to Jake's surprise, they finally stopped talking, Rose and his cousin.

So he would be able to watch this half of the movie without being interrupted.

But of course, he didn't understand a thing since he had pretty much missed the first half, so he began going over in his mind of what had happened two nights ago.

Two nights ago was the night that he and Cameron had fought. The Dragon Council had long since given him back his powers, but it wasn't like he was gonna dragon up in the movie theatre.

Jake settled back for what seemed like a few days, until he was shaken up from his trance by Rose.

"Jake, look at the screen!" Rose said, and when Jake peered up at the giant square, the face of the Huntsman haunted him.

"Huntsgirl!" the Huntsman yelled. "The entire dragon family is in the movie theatre," he reported. "This is our chance to hunt them down," he finished, and the crowd cheered. They just thought that this was another part of the movie.

"The Huntsgirl is in this theatre?" Jake thought, unbelieving himself, as Rose began sweating heavily.

"What's the matter Rose?" Jade asked, a little scared. She hadn't met the Huntsman, so her natural reaction was to be scared.

"I think I'm allergic to something in the popcorn. I think I left my medicine at the snack bar. Be right back," she said frantically, and she rushed down the stairs and out of the theatre.

"Jade, do you know how to use your dragon powers?" Jake asked as he grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her out of the theatre.

"Yes. I graduated from the Dragon Academy when I was about your age. It doesn't exist anymore due to the Huntsclan, but I was an A+ student," Jade said when they got into the janitor's closet.

Since they were two different genders, they couldn't go in the same bathroom.

"Ready?" Jake asked, and Jade nodded.

"Ready," she responded.

"DRAGON UP!" the two yelled in unison.

Jake turned into fire, then the American Dragon, then he turned to see Jade's transformation.

Her body began waving, and it turned into snow which whirled around Jake, stopped in front of him, then took the form of a dragon.

This dragon form wasn't like Cameron's. The neck was at least two feet taller, the body was more slender than large, the tail actually looked dangerous, and the head was shaped like Haley's dragon head.

And slowly, the snow packed, and was shaken away by whatever was under it.

The first thing that breached was the claws. She had lavender skin with violet claws. Then the head.

It was like Haley's dragon head, only the eyes looked Egyptian nearly, and the fins on the head looked like Jade's hair, like any other dragon human's did, but the hair outline had changed from dark purple to nearly black purple.

The body popped out, and Jake saw that her underbelly was an indigo-purplish color, the scales were amethyst , and the tail was long and was so pointed, it could be used to puncture pure gold.

"Ready to go," she said, and she blew a cloud of ice to show how confident she was. So her power was ice as well.

The two dragons broke straight through the door, and a few yards away was the Huntsgirl fighting Grandpa, Aunt Shui, and Cameron.

Jake hoped that Rose was nowhere nearby, or she could get seriously harmed.

Grandpa and Aunt Shui were herding away the crowds of people by growling at them, and they flew out of the building.

Jake's family was just coming out of their theatre, and when Jake's mom saw Jake, Cameron, Jade in their dragon forms, she pulled Jake's dad close behind.

Haley stayed behind, wished good luck to the three of them, then followed her parents out of the building.

Jake flew up and began fighting with the Huntsgirl.

"So, did you come here to see a movie or something?" Jake asked the Huntsgirl, and she scoffed.

"I did, but nothing good was on, so I got bored, was contacted that you were here, and I had to leave my date," she said jumping behind Jake's back.

"YOU have a date? I'm betting that he's the ugliest person in the world. Much worse than mine," Jake said, and he pushed back making the Huntsgirl crash into the water fountain.

"I bet the girl you came here with was so ugly, you make her wear a bag when you kiss her," Huntsgirl retorted as she jumped back up and kicked Jake in the back.

"So what, are you saying that you'd be better than her?" Jake asked, flying beside to allow a combined ice blast from Cameron and Jade to occur, which the Huntsgirl dodged with ease.

"Are you asking me out?" Huntsgirl asked, and she pulled Jake into a headlock.

"Well, maybe I'd like to see the real you," Jake said, and he pulled out of the headlock and twirled Huntsgirl into the air.

"Ok. I could use something to do tonight," Huntsgirl said, and she jumped from Jake's tail which he was using as a whip.

"Do you know where the closest pizza place is?" Jake asked, and he blew a cloud of fire at her.

"Yes. I will met you there in your human form, and I will wear ordinary clothes," Huntsgirl finished, and she went into an extremely difficult array of karate moves.

"I won't tell my grandpa, you won't tell the Huntsman," Jake demanded. Then, he jumped beside Cameron, and they both combined their blasts to create a giant wave of water which washed over the Huntsgirl.

"I'll be there in 3 hours!" Jake heard the Huntsgirl yell. Then, in a green flash, her body in the water vanished.

Jake, Cameron and Jade morphed back to human and at that moment, Rose walked out of the girl's bathroom.

"Uh, Rose," Jake said, walking up to her. He didn't notice that both of their clothes and hair were a little tattered.

"I just remembered that I have plans tonight," they both said at the same time.

"You have plans?" Jake asked, and Rose nodded.

"With my, uh, um….. Pen pal!" Rose said, thinking on her feet.

"Really? Well, I have plans with my, um, well…… study buddy!" Jake said, letting out a breath.

"So maybe tomorrow," Jake started, "at the skate park?" Rose finished, and Jake nodded.

"See you tomorrow," they both said. Rose walked out of the theatre, and Jake walked over to Jade and Cameron.

"So, uh. I guess we go to my house now," Jake said.

"Sure," they both said, and they followed Jake out of the theatre and out to the sidewalk, where Jake and Cameron's skateboards waited.

"UH, how is Jade supposed to get home?" Jake asked, and Jade pulled out a violet pair of roller blades out of the backpack that Jake hadn't noticed.

"Well, I guess that settles everything," Cameron said.

They each strapped on their helmets and sped off toward Jake's house, Jake not knowing the surprise of a life that waited for him in three hours.

"Are you sure you wanna do this? Revealing your identity to the Huntsgirl could be fatal to our cause," Cameron said as he pulled his shirt down. He was going to be a spectator of the scene. In other words, a kid sitting at a table with sunglasses listening to a turned off iPod.

"Yeah. I've gotta. Besides, I meet her in her real identity, so this could give us an advantage," Jake said, and he pulled up the zipper of his shirt.

"Mom, we're going out for pizza," Jake said as he walked out the door.

"Ok, be home by ten," she responded, and the two strapped on helmets, threw their skateboards down on the street, jumped down onto them, and sped off toward the pizza place.

Jake and Cameron were really starting to become friends. They were starting to look past their differences, their grandparents, and realized that their cooperation was needed.

"So, who's this Rose girl?" Cameron asked when they halted at a red light.

"Only the hottest girl in school," Jake said, and Cameron nodded.

"Do I have any chances with her?" Cameron asked, blushing.

"No way, she's my girl," Jake protected, and the green light blared, allowing them to cross to the pizza place.

They chucked their skateboards into their backpacks, rushed up the steps, and opened the door.

The two were three minutes early, so that gave them time to get into place.

Cameron slipped his sunglasses on, put his headphones on which were not turned on, and settled down at a table that had a perfect view of where Jake was sitting.

Jake looked nervously at his watch. It was two minutes past time. But while he was looking at it, he didn't notice Rose walking in and ordering a slice of pizza till she passed by.

"Rose!" Jake called, and Rose turned around. "Jake, I didn't expect to see you here," Rose said, and she sat down with Jake.

"Is this where you and your pen pal are meeting?" Jake asked, and Rose nodded. "Same with you?" Rose asked, and Jake nodded.

"Would you like to meet him?" Rose asked, and Jake' mouth opened.

"I was about to ask you the same question. I mean about you meeting my study buddy but.. Oh, you know," Jake said.

"Ok sure. Want some pizza?" Rose asked, and she offered to get Jake a pizza.

"Oh don't worry. I already ordered a large pizza. Would you like some when it gets here?" Jake asked, and Rose laughed.

"Ok, sure," she said, and they both relaxed in their seats.

Half an hour passed by. Nobody walked through the door admitting that they were the deadly Huntsgirl of the heroic American Dragon, and the two waited, as they nibbled on the pizza Jake had ordered.

The lights began to dim. It was dance night at the pizza place, and the disco ball popped out of the ceiling.

Music began playing, couples got up and started to get their dance on, and the floor tiles began to glow.

"Hey, uh, maybe the two are running late, so… you wanna dance?" Jake asked, and Rose laughed.

"I'd love to dance," she said, so Jake took her hand, and they walked towards the center of the room.

Jake and Rose danced for hours on end, and each hour, the lights got dimmer, and dimmer, and dimmer, and the songs got slower, and slower, and slower.

Until at one point, after it had been nearly four hours, Jake pulled Rose into a hang as he looked into her eyes, and she did the same.

Slowly, Jake began to lose himself, and both lips began to pucker and get closer until…….. They came within contact of each other.

(A/N) Ok, so I changed my mind about the almost happening. But come on, it's a fan fiction fic, there has to be at least one kiss. Anyway, please review and tell me what you think of the chapter.
