"Any luck, Fu?" Jake asked, entering the storage room.

Fu emerged under piles and piles of books, covered with dust. "A little bit" he said, pulling with him a really old brown book. "It says that there are instances when dragons get extra powers, other than their usual ones. But only on very special cases" he added.

"Such as?"

"Such as having a twin, for instance" Fu replied. "One dragon is powerful but two born on the same day and almost the same time somehow affects their powers, making them stronger. I've searched in old records, your twin daughters are not only the first in seven centuries to have special powers but also the first two be born as twin dragons in nearly a millennium. I didn't even know this 'cause I'm only 600 years old!"

"No wonder" the dragon responded. "Then, I guess this means, there's not going to be only one dragon with special powers"

"Got that right. No doubt your other daughter will have some too. Also, since Roxanne had finally triggered hers, there's a great possibility that she might be having signs of her powers as well"

"Do you have any idea what power she might have?"

"Sorry, Jake. I got nothing"

Jake sighed.

"Wait, there's also one more thing, I think Roxanne might have her senses quite high this time"

"Meaning?"

"Meaning she might be feeling what her twin is feeling. Even if they have yet to see each other, they're still connected with the bond as twin sisters. She might even be able to know, or more like sense, if her sister is near her and vice versa"

Jake sighed again. "Looks like there's no delaying it now. I've got to tell her because if I'm not mistaken, her twin is probably right here in this city"

"What? How do you know?" Fu asked, surprised.

Jake paced around the room. "I saw her"

"Jasmine?"

"Rose. And yeah, her as well presuming that the Huntsgirl I saw is Jasmine"

"When?"

"Just after I found Roxanne. I don't think they saw me but I saw them. They were in uniform but I have no doubt that that was indeed Rose"

Elsewhere…

"I can't believe him. How could he? How dare he? After we promised each other? What, just because we broke up means that promises to me no longer matters? That… that sneak!" Rose muttered to herself angrily, walking around her bedroom. She muttered a bit longer before she stopped walking, closed her eyes and massaged the bridge of her nose, sighing.

She shouldn't get angry like that, after all, she too had broken their promise. 'But this is for the company, nothing else' she thought, throwing herself onto her bed.

Or is it? Did she not feel a little homesick living in Los Angelos? She had grown up in New York, everything important started there, nowhere else.

'It ended here too' she added bitterly. She sighed in irritation. She was back at this topic again. 'Jake is the past, we're over' she told herself sternly. 'But why did he have to show up anyway?' she thought angrily. She had seen him, she knew it was him. That red dragon… He probably didn't see her but she saw him. She even had to control herself as not to scream in front of her daughter.

She sighed again and sat up. Speaking of daughter, if that was Jake, then the blue dragon must have been… She couldn't stop her eyes from watering. How she wished to see her, it had been so long. Even with the agreement she had with Jake, Roxanne was still her daughter. And she treated her so unkindly. And once again, another topic opened in her mind.

"That new power… since when could dragons control water?" she asked herself. After awhile, she wasn't getting any ideas. She stood up.

"Maybe he knows something…"

---

"… and that's pretty much it" Roxanne finished. There was short silence in which the young dragon was staring at the floor, unable to look at her best friend due to the anxiety of what he would be thinking. Would they still be friends? Would Matt still accept her? Would Matt even talk to her? She wasn't like everyone, he knew that now and-

"Rox?"

"Yeah?" she replied without removing her gaze on the ground.

"Rox, will you look at me?"

She did. "Yeah?"

"Want to go skateboarding?"

Roxanne blinked, not the response she was expecting. "I- what?" she said, utterly shocked and taken aback.

"Skateboarding" he said calmly, standing up. "I brought my board with me; it's in your living room. How about it?"

The blond blinked again, confused.

"Come on, is your brain that slow that you can't even understand what I'm saying?" Matt teased. He achieved what he had wanted instantly.

"Shut up, you jerk!" Roxanne responded but was grinning when she stood up. "Alright, I'll just grab my board in the kitchen." She went past him, placed a hand on the doorknob then looked back, a glint in her eyes. "Last one down buys ice cream!" she said. A second later, she was out of the room and running in the hallway when Matt understood what she had said.

"HEY! No fair! You're cheating!"

The next day…

"We're here, Miss Jasmine"

The blond smiled and went out of the car. "Thanks, Raymond. I'll see you at home then"

Her driver inclined his head politely and left. Jasmine stared at the car before she turned to the school, sighing.

'What had happened yesterday?' she thought. 'What was with that dragon? There was just no way that an ordinary dragon could have done what she did. So who is she really?' She cursed slightly in her mind. She hated the fact that she and her mother had fled the battle. She always, always, won her fights against dragons. So what the heck was yesterday all about? She wanted to scream. She was going to get her revenge. No matter what.

She sighed again, trying to calm herself. "Ok, this is not going to help with anything. Calm down, Jasmine. Breathe" she said to herself. Quite out of the blue, she felt a very familiar presence drawing near her.

"Talking to oneself. First sign of craziness" a voice spoke behind her.

Oh, great. Her. Why, now? When she was in such a bad mood? Jasmine wondered to herself as she turned around to look into a pair of dark eyes very similar to hers. Unlike herself, Roxanne seemed to be in a good mood. Why would she think so? She was smirking arrogantly, for one thing.

"What do you want now?" Jasmine responded irritably.

"Touchy today, aren't we?"

Jasmine glared at her. "Just shut up, I'm not in the mood"

Roxanne smirked again. "Big deal. It's a free country. I can do, and say, whatever I want. And by the way I wish to add, of all the days there are in a year, you had to choose this one to wear that hairstyle?"

Jasmine blinked. She hadn't noticed but now that the other girl mentioned it, both of them had their blond hair tied into a ponytail. So now, they barely looked any different.

"You double-ganger" Roxanne said.

"What, it's my fault I look this way?"

"No but I love believing so" Roxanne smiled, looking smug.

"You think I like looking like you?"

"What does that mean?" Now, both blonds were livid and glowering at each other.

"Isn't it obvious or are you that dumb?"

"Shut up, you stupid excuse for a clone!"

"Watch who you're calling a clone, you dragon freak!"

"What do you know, you're an insufferable know-it-all!"

"Unfeeling goofball!"

"Moronic dufus!"

"Stuck-up pinhead!"

"You guys do know that if you don't stop now, you're both gonna be late, right?"

They spun around.

"Matt?" Roxanne said. "How long have you been there?"

"What do you mean late?" Jasmine inquired.

"If my guess is right, you've been arguing so long that you've forgotten the time. That means, first period start in three… two…"

Both girls' eyes went wide.

"One"

RING!

"Crap! One time I finally get to school early, I'm still late!"

"It's only my third day, how can I be late?"

"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!"

The two girls rushed towards the school, yelling out their frustration.

Matt couldn't help but smile.

---

After school…

"I can't believe that you didn't tell me earlier that class was beginning, why didn't you tell me?" Roxanne complained to her best friend as the exited the school, having spent the lunch hour in detention with Jasmine.

Matt blinked. "But I did tell you…"

"Seconds before the bell rang"

"You looked busy"

Roxanne glared at him. He laughed. "Ok, ok, I'm sorry. But you two have got to stop arguing all the time. You should know there are gonna be consequences"

"Oh, so that was supposed to be a lesson?"

"Yea, pretty much"

The blond hit him.

"OW! What was that for?"

"For being annoying"

"Aw come on, Rox, you know I have your best interests at heart"

She stared him. "Please don't say that, you sound like my dad"

Matt laughed again. "Right, sorry. I've got to go home, I promised my brother to help him with a project. See you tomorrow!" He got on his skateboard and disappeared out of sight. Just as the young dragon was about to do the same, a voice called.

"There you are!"

Roxanne looked up to see a woman running towards her. 'She's pretty' first popped into Roxanne's mind as she stared at the woman's long curly blond hair and sea blue eyes. The woman smiled when she reached her.

"I've been here for quite awhile. We need to go"

The young dragon blinked, perplexed. "What?'

The woman looked at her, raising an eyebrow. "We haven't got time for jokes now. We need to change. We're gonna meet him in the park"

"What? Meet who? Am I even supposed to know you?"

Just as the woman opened her mouth, another voice spoke up. "Mom? What are you doing here?"

The two turned. It was Jasmine.

Rose gasped, looking at Jasmine then at the other girl whom she thought was her daughter. This was actually still pretty true.

"Uh-oh, this can't be good…"

For the second time, Rose and Roxanne, now joined by Jasmine, turned to the source of the new voice.

"Dad?" Roxanne said. Jake was standing, Fu Dog beside him. Both wide-eyed in shock.
