Chapter 4: Unpleasant Meetings

"You will follow my orders." The Dark dragon was saying as he walked slowly around Jake. Jake, now 26, was taller, stronger, and has longer hair. His dragon colors stayed the same.

"Yes, Master." Replied Jake. "I will not let you down."

DD gave a satisfied smile. "You have been trained well. You made the right choice to join me." He laughed evilly.

Fu was drinking coffee and reading the newspaper. Haley walked in as Fu closed the paper up.

"Kid, I have bad news."

Haley sighed. "What?"

"It looks like the dark dragons' followers are overpowering the good side."

"Oh, no." Haley groaned. "When will it all be over?"

Fu sighed sadly "I don't know, kid." He got up. "Well, I'm going to bed. 'Night!"

"Good-night."

Haley pulled out a book and started to read.

--------------------

Jake was flying over the New York skyline.

'This placer looks and smells the same.' Jake mused. He smiled satisfied as the old electronics shop came into view.

Meanwhile, Spud and Trixie- who have been married for two years and expecting their first child- were sitting at home eating dinner.

"Are you sure you should be eating that much?" Spud asked.

Trixie rolled her eyes. Spud can be so overprotective sometimes. She got up, kissed Spud on the cheek, and started to clear the table.

"Don't you worry about me or the baby, Spud." Trixie assured her husband. "We cool!"

Spud sighed happily and stared lovingly at Trixie. He remembered when they first declared their love for each other…

Thirteen year olds Trixie and Spud skated to the steps of Lombardo's' Pizza.

"Yo, it's just not the same without Jake." Trixie said sadly.

"I know." Spud replied "But it was a very kind and noble thing Jake did. The least we can do is live happily."

Trixie smiled. "Yeah." She's been thinking about this for a while. Over the past year, she has developed a crush on Spud. "Spud? Have you ever thought of us as more than friends?"

Spud was a little taken aback from his friends' question. He has thought about it. He responded by kissing Trixie on the lips.

------------------------

Haley was putting stuff on the shelves when she heard someone come in. She turned around and saw Jake.

"Jake?" Haley whispered, surprised. "What are you doing here?"

Jake didn't respond. He slowly walked towards Haley looking sinister.
