Chapter Two

His body started morphing back into a dragon, back to human, back to a dragon, and the last, back to human. A few green sparkles surrounded him, making a crackling noise. Jake stood there amazed.

"Well kid, are you going to try it out or what?" Fu Dog said grumpily. Grandpa was standing in the door frame, his face a disappointed look. Jake felt half with guiltiness and half with pleasure.

"Yeah." He said quietly. He tried to Dragon Up. All it did was surround him in more green sparkles with a crackling sound.

"Yo Fu, this is great!" He said, punching the air. Jake left the kitchen and went upstairs to his room to sleep.

As soon as everyone was asleep, Fu was in the kitchen himself, holding a small sparkling brown potion. "Just incase you want to come back Jake." He said to himself quietly. He sighed and fell asleep on the couch.

The Next Morning..

"Yo Spud, Trix! Wait up!" Jake said, catching up to his pals on his skateboard. They slowed down for Jake to catch up.

"Guess what?" Jake said, opening a soda can.

"You finally mastered eating your mom's casserole?" Spud said amazed.

"You kissed Rose?" Trixie said excitedly.

"No and I wish." He said, it sounded garbled from his soda.

"Well, what then? Gonna tell us or not homeboy?" Trixie said picking up her skateboard and walking through the school's front doors.

"I'm done!" Jake said.

"Done with what?" they both replied cluelessly.

"Done with being..the American Dragon yo!" he said clapping once.

..He expected his friends to cheer and whoot. They were as silent as lizards at night.

"Wow Jakie, you sure you want to do dis?" Trixie said concerned.
"Already done. I was tired of all the pressure, especially Gramps' annoying yelling voice." Jake said walking to his locker.

"But, like, dude, what'll the world do without you?" Spud said dropping to his knees. Trixie grabbed him up by the elbow.

"Besides Spud, I won't have to hide anything from Rose anymore, I could be myself." He coolly walked over to Rose's locker.

"Hey how ya doin Rose?" Jake said leaning on the locker.

"Oh, hey Jake.." she said a bit concerned.
"Something up?" Jake asked.

"Oh no it's nothing..my uncle is just disappointed with me right now." She replied getting her math book out.

"Yeah, my grandpa isn't too happy with me eit—" the bell rang for class.

"Oh! Gotta go Jake. I'll talk to you later!" She ran off to class.
