Hey, I'm back! FINALLY! Ok, now for some more story. I'm so sorry it took so long! If you want to know why it took so long, read the following paragraph.
I'm so sorry! Ok, I know you all probably hate me with mad passion for taking so long, but I really do have a good reason. Here it is. And I swear, even though it sounds like something off tv, it seriously happened. Ok, as soon as I put up that last chapter, where Trixie falls, I sign off the internet. Then I remember that I forgot to look up some info on ADJL, so I try to sign back on, but the screen goes, "This site can't be found., blah, blah ,blah, etc,", you know? So I tell mom, "Hey, ma, the internet isn't working anymore. And I just got off of it like ten seconds ago!" So we figure that something is wrong with a phone line, since there have been a lot of storms where I live lately. (a thunderstorm, literally every day for about 4 days. not even kidding.) So about a week later, the internet is still broken. So she goes, "Well, I'll have the roadrunner guy come over while your at your dad's for the week." And I'm cool with that, cos i thought my dad would have his computer hooked up. It's not even plugged in. So when I come back to my mom's house, I find out that the guy came on the wrong day, so my mom was at work when he came, so it was scheduled to be fixed next week. By now, I am seriously flustered. So the next week, I go back to my dad's, since I alternate weeks. He had promised to have the net up and running, and lo and behold, the computer still isn't even plugged in. So I come back home the next week, excited to finally update the story, and it turns out that again, they put it on the schedule wrong. By now, I'm suffering withdrawl symptoms. I'm serious. I was going to cry. And actually, I almost did. Don't laugh. I'm dead serious. So I stay at home the next week, since my dad would be at work, and there's really nothing to do. So finally, on Thursday, the Roadrunner guy comes over and fixes it. After he leaves, my mom tries to log onto the internet, and it's STILL FRICKIN BROKEN! So she calls the Roadrunner company. After three DAYS, they STILL didn't call us back. So my mom decides we should say "bye-bye" to Roadrunner and switch to SBC Global. So I go to my dad's the next week, and we go to home depot to buy cords to plug in the computer. When I come back home, I've given up, and I don't even worry about it, since I have a week at Akron U the following day, for a camp that I go to. I came back home this past Sunday, and Today, FINALLY, the SBC guy comes, and not only helps us install it, but helps us set it up. So now, here I am, explaining what happened. And that is seriously what happened. So there you have it. The very day that I updated my story, the internet just shut down on our computer. And now, almost a month (or maybe more than a month. I really don't care now that I have my precious FF back!) later, I can finally finish my story! So please don't be mad at me. if anything, be mad at the stupid Roadrunner man. I still want to just go find him and kick his butt. But anyway, onto the story.
Thanx for your patience!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the characters or the show, "American Dragon: Jake Long. (Oh, how I missed typing disclaimers!) And one of you asked me if I was going to have Spud save Trixie. Would I have it any other way? lol ; )
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Trixie gasped as she felt herself falling backwards, and then down. She screamed as she grabbed the edge of the cliff. Don't look down, girl. Don't. Just don't! She steadied herself and placed a foot against the rock to help push herself up. Instead, the rock crumbled under the force, and tiny pepples fell down into the darkness. The rock beneath her own hand was starting to break too. Oh, man! My weight is too much! She grabbed onto another part of the cliff and lost her grip. She screamed as her hands lost hold of everything and she started to fall.
"I've got you!"
She felt a hand wrap around her wrist, and sighed in relief. She looked up to see who it was. Spud. Go figure. He slowly pulled her up, and grabbed her other hand. She tried hard not to think about the fact that he was holding both of her hands, but couldn't help it. She felt ridiculous about the fact that she found Spud holding her hands more important than the fact that her life was depending on one person. But she didn't have to worry about her life for long. In the next minute, she was standing on her own feet, walking back into the cave with Spud, to join Jake. "Thanks, Spud."
"Hey, dude." Spud grinned, "Just returning the favor. I mean, you did the same for me last time the Gorgon sisters attacked."
"Yeah," Trixie looked away, "It's funny how that works out, isn't it?"
"Karma, compadre." he squeezed her shoulder, "Karma. Now let's finish those Gorgons."
"Alright, Gorgons," Jake said. "It's all over."
Medusa glared at him, seething in anger. She started muttering under her breath, before finally taking a deep breath. "Fine." She said calmly. "Besides, Fury was ruling anyway. And everyone knows that I'm supposed to be ruler."
Fury glared at her sister. "Excuse me? What do you mean, you're supposed to be the ruler? It was my plan! Besides, you're nothng without me! Everyone knows that I'm the most powerful! It's all me!"
"Hey, you guys!" Euryale cut in and pointed at Trixie, "stop fighting! Can't you see that this...this minion is trying to turn us against each other like she did before?"
Fury rolled her eyes. "Oh, honestly, give it a rest, Euryale! She didn't start anything! This is all Medusa's fault, you airhead!"
"AIRHEAD?" Euryale screeched.
"My fault!" Medusa repeated angrily.
The three of them started arguing uncontrollably. Trixie could only pick of pieces of the conversation.
"...bossy..."
"..stupid...why can't you be normal?...hate you!"
"Not an airhead!...get a life...control freak!"
Slowly, the three sisters' eyes turned red, and soon afterwards, they were all fighting. They were punching each other, kicking each other, using lasers on each other, and slamming each other into walls. Medusa slammed Euryale into a wall so hard that rocks starting crumbling. The three of them continued in their intense combat. They all shot lasers at each other at the same time. The lasers all hit each other and bounced back at them, turning them each into stone. But the damage they had caused was done. The wall Euryale had hit was now falling apart.
"What just happened?" Lacey asked, stunned.
"No time for that now." Jake said. He crouched down. "Hop on. Spud, Stacey, andTracey hopped onto Jake's back, and Trixie, Fu Dog and Lacey got on Grandpa's back. The other walls were starting to collapse too. They flew out of the opening of the cave, and up the canyon.
"Gramps, we're not gonna make it!" Jake called out.
"Just keep going. As fast as you can!" he responded. Just as they flow out of the opening of the canyon, it collapsed in until there was nothing left but a pile of rock and dirt.
"So, what about the Gorgons?" Stacey asked.
"I doubt we'll ever see them again." Jake grinned.
The next day...
Trixie lay on the couch. Her two friends were on the floor, playing video games again. But they weren't at her house. They were at Spud's house. She stared at him, wanting so badly to tell him how she felt. But so long as he had his Geo Stacey Tracker 3.0, she wouldn't say anything.
As if Jake had read her mind, he smirked at Spud. "So, Spud, what's up with that Stacey tracking device? It seems a little on the stalker side."
"I know." he said. "But one day, it will take me to the right place at the right time. And then we can get married and take a family trip to Bora Bora."
"Yo, Spud, what is it with Bora Bora?"
He looked at her, a pout on his face. "I hear it's beautiful there."
Jake burst into laughter, and soon after, so did Trixie and Spud. After a few minutes, Spud looked at them. "Wait, what are we laughing at?"
"Oh, dang, Spud." Trixie chuckled,"Boy, you know you'refunny. That's why I like you."
Spud and Jake both stared at her. It took Trixie a second to realize what they were thinking. "Wait, no! I didn't mean it like that--"
"Sooo..." Jake cut in, a devilish smirk creeping onto his face," When's the wedding?"
"Jake, you know--"
"Oh, you can stop pretending, Trix. I know you like him." Jake laughed, "And so does the whole world. I mean, even the future knows. Remember the Oracle twins? They said you two were going to tie the knot together!" he teased her.
"Well--we...we did! I tied his shoe. I tied the knot." Trixie sputtered, trying to seem as if she was joking.
"Exactly." Jake grinned, "You tied the knot."
"What?" Trixie crinkled her nose in confusion. "I don't get it."
"You tied that know by yourself. But you and Spud didn't do it together. And as I recall, they said you'd be tying the knot together. So tying his shoe was a knot, but it wasn't the one they were talking about. The only knot that two people can tie together is..." he started to sing the Wedding March. Trixie blushed. He was right! They didn't tie that knot in his shoe together.
"So I was right!" Trixie cut in. "I told you that they weren'talways right."
"Oh, please, Trix. They were talking about marrige, and you know it. You and Spud are going to get married. Proof. You saved his life. You two have ended up in some pretty questionable positions on more than one occasion--"
"Hey, he fell off his skateboard! It was purely accidental!"
"As I was saying... and he saved your life. And you did the kissing scene in Romeo and Juliet together."
"But we didn't kiss." Spud pointed out.
"I hear the regret in somebody's voice." Jake laughed at his joke. "Look, you two are going to get married. And when you do, I'll be at the wedding with the Oracle twins, and we'll give you a lovely card that says, ' I told you so'." He grinned.
Trixie knew that there was no winning against Jake. She turned to Spud. "Ok, then, Spudinski. Shall we honeymoon in Bora Bora?"
"Would I have it any other way?"
The two of them laughed, and Jake beamed. "I knew it!"
This only made Trixie laugh harder. Sometimes she had to wonder who was smarter: Spud or Jake?
