For the second time in two days, Roxanne's brain was functioning slowly. 'Did he just say what I think he just said?' she thought. She stared at her dad who was right in front of here and blinked. Apparently, she couldn't grasp the content of what he just said. That, or she refused to.

"What?" Her voice came out stunned, incredulous, not to mention displeased.

Jake looked at her then at Rose. She was talking with Jasmine who seemed to believe what she had heard more quickly.

"She's your mother. Her name is Rose. And Jasmine. Jasmine is… your sister, your twin, in fact"

"What?" she couldn't help but repeat.

"Rox-"

She cut him off. "You're kidding"

"No, I'm not"

Roxanne turned her head. Jasmine was staring at her, it seemed that the news was broken to her as well. She looked shocked but not upset, like Roxanne.

"No way"

"We need to talk about this somewhere else" Jake said. "Come on, we're leaving." He made a move to depart.

"What? But dad-"

"Jake." It was Rose's voice. The dragon master stopped at his tracks but did not turn around.

"Rose" he responded in the same terse tone.

"I may not exactly know what is really going on. But Jasmine is not going to become one" Rose said.

This got the said blond's, and Roxanne's, attention and curiosity.

Jake spun around. "It's going to come out one way or another. I can't stop it, even if I wanted to. And neither can you"

"Watch me"

"I'll watch you try"

Rose narrowed her eyes. "Why did you come back?"

"Look who's talking"

"I'm only here on business matters"

"So am I. It just happens that my business needs me here 24/7"

"You promised"

"So did you"

The two glared each other.

Roxanne and Jasmine turned from one parent to the other, confused. They stared at each other.

"You can't be believing this" Roxanne said.

"As much as I don't want to, I am" Jasmine replied. "I mean, haven't you wondered why we looked so much alike?"

"Uh… you're a copycat?"

Jasmine glared at her. "Do you always have to be this obnoxious?"

"Do you really want me to answer that?"

"No"

"Thought so"

The girls glared at each other. And so, it began. Jake glaring at Rose and vice versa. Jasmine glaring at Roxanne and versa vice. Fu stared at the four of them. 'Just how much of their parents are they like?' he asked himself. Finally sick of the tense silence, he coughed. A very LOUD cough.

Jake and Roxanne looked at him. "What?" they both said.

"Please tell me we're not going to have staring contest all day" he said.

Jasmine gaped at him, it was the first time she noticed him. "I-it spoke! And it's walking!" she exclaimed, apparently astounded.

Fu glared at her. "Hey, that's he, sister!" he snapped.

The blond continued to stare at him with her mouth open. "He's an animal guardian, Jasmine" Rose explained to her. "His job is to protect the current American dragon, which I presume, is you." She looked at Roxanne, her voice a little softer.

But Roxanne glared at her. "Yeah, I am" she said coldly. "Your point?"

Rose frowned at her reply, as well as Jake, though it was expressed less. Jasmine stared at her disapprovingly, remembering what she had said about her mother leaving her. "I can't believe you're still angry at her!"

"Well believe it! And I will always be so get used to it!"

"Why can't you be nice for once?"

"Why should I?!"

"Because it's needed!"

"Says you!"

The two bickered, leaving Jake and Rose blinking.

"Ok, enough!" Jake interjected. "Will you two stop it?" he snapped.

Rose glared at him. "Don't you dare snap at my daughter"

"Too late for that, don't you think?"

"No, I don't"

"Well, I do"

"So what?"

"Just shut up"

"You shut up"

Now, they bickered, leaving the twins blinking.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Ok, hold it" Roxanne said. "It's ok for us to fight but not you two"

"For once, I have to agree" Jasmine added. "You're both acting like children"

Jake and Rose stopped and sighed.

"You're still at it, aren't you?" Jake asked her.

"Yes, I am. Just like Roxanne followed you, Jasmine followed me"

"So" he paused. "What happens now?"

"I don't know. I just wish there was some way we could forget all this ever happened" Rose said.

"That's pretty much impossible now" Jake pointed out, looking at their daughters who were looking curious.

"What's pretty much impossible and what is it that you are hiding from us?" Roxanne said impatiently.

"I mean, you have no idea just how much she'll be bothering me for the next few days if I won't tell her" Jake muttered, loud enough for all to hear. Roxanne pouted while Rose actually laughed a little then stopped immediately and looked away.

"Look, I" she paused and glanced at Jasmine. "We still need time to think about this. So, can we just forget this and just leave?" She stared at Jake who nodded.

"I suppose that would be-"

"Not likely" a voice interrupted. The four, plus Fu, turned. It was the Huntsmaster and the Huntsboy.

Rose gasped. "Dy- I mean, you! How did you-"

The Huntsmaster turned to her. "You took too long"

"We got impatient" the Huntsboy added. Roxanne glared at him while Jasmine clenched her fists. 'What is he doing here?' they both were thinking.

Jake narrowed his eyes. "How long have you been there?" he demanded.

"Long enough to understand what the situation here is" the Huntsmaster replied. "We thought we might help"

Jake and Rose raised their eyebrows in surprise and suspicion.

The Huntsboy took out something from his pocket and threw it on the floor. Before anyone could react, green smoke had covered the whole area.

"What the-"

"What's going-"

"Mom!"

"Dad!"

"Jasmine!"

"Roxanne!"

Fu Dog was the first to find his way out from the smoke, coughing. "Man, does a dog feel left out around here…" he muttered while looking for something beneath his wrinkles. "Aha!" he said, holding a vial with yellow liquid inside. Without further ado, he threw it at the smoke.

A crash was heard and the smoke cleared up at once. Now, we see two dark figures walking towards the Shar-Pei.

"Oh boy, this cannot be good…" Fu said. It was Jake and Rose. The twins were nowhere to be found.
