Jake and Rose tussled and rolled along her bed spread but they remained locked at the lips. Her hands tangled in his hair, his hands caressed and squeezed her waist.

But even in the heat of the moment Rose noticed his hands never traveled any further then her sides and her waist which was a little disappointing. "Jake, i'm not gonna stop you. grab me!" she moaned. She got her wish with a hint of dragon strength when Jakes hands slid further south and tightly squeezed prompting her to nip at his neck which brought Jake to a moan.

(ding-dong)

The door bell rang and was quickly followed by Violet shouting "pizzas here! Rose, Jake food!"

Rose let out a small irritated growl before she eased herself off of Jake "this is to be continued" she told him. Before leaving Rose took a quick look at Violets bed, neatly made with fresh pressed blankets. A sinister smile dashed across her face then proceeded to pull and tug on the sheets causing ripples and pulled edges giving an impression of being laid on.

The smell of the hot Pizza wafted throughout the house drawing everyone to the dinning room where Violet had started dividing the slices. Madison looked at her daughters then over to Jake, no one was talking. "Jake tell me about yourself, aside from Rose's mix up about Dragons and such"

"eh-heh yeah, we'll where i should i start?"

"how about how you and Rose met, i mean you had a relationship before we moved but we never got to meet you"

The color faded from Jakes face. He wasn't prepared for this question. How was he going to explain a relationship that technically never happened, Rose herself looked a little worried. "i guess it started with the Anthony and Cleopatra play auditions.." Jake hesitantly started.

"i remember Rose saying something about that. wasn't that play cancelled?" Madison interjected,

Rose let out a sigh of relief her mother just unknowingly cemented their cover story.

"yeah it was. production problems, but Rose and I were rehearsing together for the leads so we thought my Grandpas shop would be the best place to rehearse so there was no awkward... Intros"

"your grandfather owns his own business?"

"yeah, Canal Street Electronics...and i know that look, you've met Gramps"

"i have, when we were getting ready to move i stopped in to pick up a universal charger and upon my first impression, he was colorful. He was shouting in the backroom, now while i wasn't any means fluent i caught a few words; ancient vase, infuriating, child, and pull my hair out" Madison was now grinning with an amused look.

Jake however shrunk into his chair he remembered that day vividly "yeah, he was yelling at me that day gramps was punishing me for slacking off so he had me cleaning the store room. I tried to cut a few corners so i could get out faster and ended up breaking a 200 year old vase... spent the next few hours doing knuckle push ups my hands hurt for a week" he finished.

"knuckle push ups? That sounds cruel!" Violet burst out.

Jake however chuckled "yeah i used to think it was whack to but Gramps is old school and it does have some pay offs"

"your grandfather is in fact colorful Jake, do you think he would consider instilling some discipline into these two?" Madison asked directing at her two daughters with a hint of humor.

"ha-ha" the sisters sarcastically laughed in unison,

Jake went to take another bite from his slice he felt a sneeze sneaking up on him "uh-oh Ah-ah Ah-Choo!" he sneezed shooting a stream of fire across the table causing Violet and Madison to throw themselves away from the table and scorching the chair.

Rose looked at Jake in wide eyed shock and then to her mother and sister who were now standing up and staring at the chair "what in the actual F.."

"MOM" Rose quickly blurted.

"Rose, how much of that mix up...was a mix up? Cause, well I mean... He sneezed fire. Actual physical fire and roasted your father's chair"

Violet however stared in awe and maybe fear at the chair Jake burned. He was across the table and instantly reduced it to ashes. Jake was in fact a Dragon.

"Rose, i-i, I need and explanation because dragons aren't supposed to be real and yet you brought home... Like a puppy" Madison stammered. "a dragon are you kidding me?"

Rose looked to Jake for some kind of help, her bright blue eyes swelled up to the size of a toonie. "uhm, aha i guess i should explain myself if you guys wouldn't mind just grabbing a seat in the living room I'll explain everything"

Rose turned to Jake showing more than a little concern, but Jake knew it was either this or a memory wipe potion, and Fu usually never had all the ingredients in stock. So telling the truth was his only option.

Jake stood before the 3 women twittling his thumbs "So, as you guys saw i am a Dragon, the American Dragon to be more exact and i have been since i was 13. Its a family inheritance from my moms side, although it skipped her generation. It's my duty to protect the magical community here in New York from slayers, Dark creatures and Humanity. Which is how i really met Rose, a little over a year ago Rose was a Dragon slayer as shown by her dragon birth mark she belonged to the Hunstclan. But after she destroyed them using 13 aztek skulls she herself was about to be destroyed to, so i made my wish, that she was never taken by the Huntsclan and by doing so created the life you all share now. That`s why you never me before because i met Rose in a different version of reality. But i never stopped loving her, but what was one night for me ended up being a whole year for her. she never met me or had any idea who i was so when i approached her in Hong Kong well you guys know what happened" Jake explained.

"but why did you approach her? If you knew she didn't remember you and how does she know you now?"

"Rose was a last resort. An...for lack of a better word evil Dragon took my grandfather hostage and tried to force me into spiking the punch at the Dragon memorial summit i needed help, i've fought him a few times before and got away but this time i was out matched and i needed help, i needed a slayers help so i found Rose, she still had her birthmark and was really hopping destiny wasn't just Disney make belief."

When he finished Madison was flabbergasted and Violet look like she might have been broken. They were both just sitting there starring.

"so my sister...is a dragon slayer and Jake is a Dragon wouldn't that make you two enemies?" Violet asked,

"it did and we were" Rose replied.

"how in the hell did you end up a couple after trying to kill him?"

"we figured out each others identities and realized our feelings were stronger than or supposed destiny" Rose told her.

"And Jake wished you were never taken by these Hunts guys so after that you had no memory of him and lived an entirely different life while he saw you the next day and had to hold back his real feelings you had no idea who he was?" Madison finally spoke up. It now dawned on her the sacrifice Jake made for Rose's sake and how much he appreciated her because of his second chance. Despite being a fire breathing reptile he did seem like a good boy, "so can you really turn into a Dragon?"

"he can" Rose stated "but you guys have to promise not to say a word to anybody about this or else Jake and his family will be hunted down"

"done"

"Jake your up"

"Dragon up!" Jakes body burst into blue flames for a few seconds then emerged in his Dragon form.

"HOLY SHIT!"

Jake stood in his dragon form with his head inches below the chandelier "this is me representing as the Am-Drag"

"wings, tail, talons, sharp teeth and scales...so just throwing this out if ever you two have kids my grandchildren would be.."

"dragons mom, yes"

"uh-huh, I am at a loss Rose. I mean this is like something from a Disney movie"

"yeah, beauty and the beast"

"Violet!" Rose snapped.

"what it's a good romance movie"

"okay moving on now you two know the truth about Jake please keep it secret"

Madison kept inspecting Jake intrigued by his transformation even pulled on his wings. "mom...do you approve?" Rose asked.

Madison took one last look at Jake then back Rose with a satisfied smile "there will be rules, Jake i want your word that you'll do everything you can to make sure Rose comes home safely every night and once a week you have dinner with us so we can try to better understand what it is you do and above all no more burning the furniture but yes Rose i approve"

Rose smiled and wrapped her arms around Jake then turned to Violet "Violet what about you?"

"he's not gonna eat me is he?" she asked.

"eat you? No" Rose replied with a laugh but quickly stopped after catching her mothers glare "only kidding"

"if i can have ride once in awhile and Jake agrees to come on the camping trip"

"what am i rental?" Jake grinned.

"this is how we negotiate" Rose told him "Jake agrees"
