Secrets Revealed

"You guys are gonna love Trixie and Spud." said Jake, they all went downstairs.

"Yo Jakey, your cuz here yet?" said a girl when they got downstairs.

"Yeah," said Jake." Trix, Spud, this is Ben and Gwen."

"Sup", said Ben and Spud in unison, Gwen just rolled her eyes.

"Hello young ones." Said a tiny Chinese dude, walking in next to a fat charppe.

"Hey gramps," Said Jake, Trixie, and Spud" Sup Fu." said Jake.

"Woof, woof." said Fu unconvincingly.

"Fu, Grandpa I already told Ben and Gwen, so Fu can talk around them." explained Jake. Then Fu sat down and sighed.

"Thank God I don't have to talk like that all night." Ben and Gwen were shocked.

"Dude that dog just talked, Awesome!" said Ben.

"Oh yeah, I knew I forgot to tell them something." said Jake. Then Mr. Long called them for dinner. It was time.

At dinner, everyone was silent. Ben kept glancing back and forth between Jake, his mom, his sister, and his dad. He was thinking about how he would tell his parents he could turn into ten different aliens.

"So Jake," started Mrs. Long "go ahead and tell, and or, show your father the "thing.""

"Right here?" asked Jake "Right now?"

"Show me what?" asked Mr. Long. Jake looked at his Grandpa, who silently nodded.

"Okay." said Jake. "Dragon Up!" Jake transformed into a Dragon right there. Mr. Long just gazed in amazement.

"Honey, that's the thing I've been meaning to tell you." said Mrs. Long. "Jake is the American Dragon. My dad is the Chinese Dragon, or was until we moved to New York."

"That is why Jake has been coming to my shop every afternoon." said Lao Shi, a.k.a. Jake's Grandfather. Mr. Long looked and Grandpa Max.

"And you about this all along?" asked Mr. Long.

"Yes I did." replied Grandpa Max. Ben watched, looking from Mr. Long to his Grandpa. Gwen was interested in Fu Dog. "Why so surprised, never seen a talking dog?" joked Fu Dog.

"No I haven't, how old are you?" asked Gwen curiously.

"About 600 years old, give or take a day." replied Fu. At this answer, Gwen's jaw dropped.

Mr. Long was still in shock that his kids were dragons, so while Lao Shi explained what the American dragon does; Mr. Long was continuously pinching himself or checking for hidden cameras. Meanwhile Jake was still a dragon and posing in a full-sized mirror.

Ben was watching Jake, and then he got an idea. He ran into the bathroom and locked the door.

In the dining room, Grandpa Max and Gwen heard a noise coming from the bathroom and a green light illuminated from under the door, and knew it was Ben.

Jake was still posing when he heard a voice whisper in his ear "Jaaaakke, Jaaaakke." Jake turned suddenly, but no one was there. "Weird." exclaimed Jake.

Trixie and Spud looked, "Yo what's wrong Jakey" asked Trixie. "Yeah bud, what's up." added Spud.

"Its nothing." Said Jake, turning to look in the mirror, but instead of him; it was a ghost with one eye and claws.

"Boo!" said the creature.

"Waa!" screamed Jake as he flew over the table and crashed into Trixie and Spud

The ghostly creature came laughing out of the mirror. "What's the matter Jake? You look like you've seen a Ghost… Freak." said Ghostfreak. Then the crest started beeping faster and faster, then Ghostfreak turned back into Ben, laughing his head off.
