First of all, I would like to thank Dpbuckeye for appreciating my work. If you doubt it watch the last chapter of 'Rotwood the Villian Wait What?'.

Adjustment

It's Jake's first day at Millard Fillmore as a student again. However, because he didn't attend any classes during last year he has a lot of catch up to do. Until then he's one year behind his friends. Same thing as Brad, who flunked another school year. Being one year behind Spud, Trixie and Rose means he can only meet them during recess time and lunch.

"This is so embarrassing." Jake tells his friends during lunchtime.

"Don't worry, Jake." Spud says. "I can help you with your catch-up studies."

"That's not what I'm talking about." Jake says as he looks around. "Look at the other students. They're still scared of me. Don't they understand I'm not a threat?"

"After a whole year of the magical creatures being held as slaves of the humanity, many people now fear that you'll get even with them." Rose says. "Specially Brad. And while I admit he's a better liar than Huntsboys 88 and 89, which doesn't say a lot, I still can tell the difference between someone who truly doesn't fear dragons from someone who only fakes. He kept trying to impress me by telling how brave he is by defying you. How I wished I could tell him I'm not that kind of Huntsgirl but I couldn't expose my identity back then."

"Hey, Rose." Spud says. "What happened to those two Huntsgirls who were fighting over me?"

"They're adapting to their new lives as normal girls without Huntsclan duties." Rose explains. "Do you want me to introduce them to you? They still don't know what you look like or what your name is."

"I still have my hopes on Stacey but yes, I would like to meet them again." Spud answers.

"Spud." Trixie exclaims. "Stacey is a shallow girl. You'll never have a chance with her."

"Not with such a negative attitude like yours, Trixie." Spud replies. "I still keep up my hope."

"Hey, Rose, what about you studying with me?" Jake asks.

"I'm sorry, Jake." She answers. "I must go to the support group help the other Huntskids who were taken away from their families. I never had any idea there were so many of us within the Huntsclan."

"I see." Jake sadly says.

"Jake, can I talk to you for a moment?" Jake hears the provisory principal, Sun Park, say.

"Sure, Sun." He answers. "May I help you?"

"Yes, Jake." She says. "That's about your catching up. Please follow me." She leads Jake to the jocks' table, where a certain jock is bragging.

"The Bradster fears no dragons." Brad(who else?) says. "They'd better not get anywhere near me."

One of the other jocks, noticing Jake and Sun approaching without Brad's knowledege, decides to play a trick. "Oh, yeah? What if Jake Long tries to scare you away?"

"I'll look at his eyes and say 'Hey, Jerk Long, maybe the Huntsclan training didn't make Roselicious able to defeat you but I'm here to protect my damsel in distress so stay away from her or consider yourself slain'." He notices the other jocks holding laughters. "He's right behind me, right?" They silently nod and he turned his head to see Jake. He also saw Sun Park and is relieved he got an excuse to avoid conflict with a save face. "Jake Long. Provisory Principal Park. May the Bradster help you?"

"Yes." Sun Park answers. "We need to discuss yours and Jake's catch up studies. Let's go to my office." She says and then they go to her office. On their way there they meet Rotwood. "Rotwood, what are you doing here?" Jake angrily asks.

"Didn't the Dragon Council tell you, Jake Long?" The ex-Principal asks. "I was sentenced into community services. I must work as the school's janitor for a whole year, then they'll decide if I've already suffered enough or if I should work for another year and so forth."

"Jake, didn't your Grandfather tell you you have to keep an eye on him?" Sun asks.

"I'd remember if he told me such great news." Jake answers.

Flashback.

"Young Dragon, The Dragon Council has sentenced Hans Rotwood to perform community services at your school. Whenever you go there you must keep an eye on him." Lao Shi says, unaware that his grandson is listening to his mp4 and, therefore, isn't paying attention at him.

Flashback ends.

"Sun, what about we go to the movies together again?" Rotwood asks and then notices her angry glare. "No hard feelings, right?"

"After being a slave for a whole year what do you expect?" She asks in return. "And it's Provisory Principal Park for you."

"Hope springs eternal." Rotwood says.

"What makes him think he still has chances with her?" Brad asks.

"Probably the same thing that makes you believe you have a chance with Rose." Jake replies.

"Yeah, it must be that." Brad says and then realizes what Jake meant. "Hey." Before the blonde jock says more, Jake turns one of his hands into a claw and the jock decides to remain silent.

Meanwhile, at Lao Shi's former electronics shop, the elder dragon finds a shocking surprise.

"Crazy Jonathan's electronics?" Lao Shi asks after mumbling something in Cantonese.

"The government nullified your rental contract." Mr. Long explains. "If I didn't take over somebody else would."

"Whatever." Lao Shi replies. "But what about your other job?"

"I was fired." Jonathan answers. "Rotwood and his Huntsgoons forced Mr. Lockjelly to terminate my employment hoping it would make me sever my ties with your family."

"I see." Lao Shi says. "But now I'm back I'll take over the shop again and undo all the craziness you've brought to it." Jonathan hands him the last trimester's records. "On a second thought, maybe I'll keep some of it."

"Fine to me." Jonathan replies. "I have a job interview with Mr. Lockjelly. It seems he wants to rehire me."

That night, at the Long household, Jonathan has made a special surprise.

"Jonathan, are we celebrating something?" Susan asks.

"Yes, Susan." Jonathan happily replies. "This is to make up for all the special occasions I couldn't celebrate with you because of that crazed professor." He gives her a package. "I would have already given you this in our last anniversary but you had to wait until all magical creatures got free."

She opens the box and finds a necklace. "Jonathan, this is so beautiful. Thank you."

Jake and Haley arrive. "Kids, how was your day?" Their Dad asks.

"Great, Dad." Jake answers. "I can finally feel human again. And I soon as I complete the catch up my life will be like before except there will be no more secrets."

"Well, I've already obtained enough extra credit to catch up with my classmates." Haley says. "Now I'm just obtaining credit to skip a few years like it should have already have happened." Jake hugs her. "Jake, aren't you upset at me for showing off how better than you I am?"

"Of course I am." He answers. "But the happiness I feel for realizing this means our lives are turning back to normal surpasses this."

"I'm glad to hear that, Jakers." Jonathan says. "Because as soon as you have some time between school and dragon duties you and I will spend it together to make up for these father/son moments we missed."

Jake never felt so happy for this. He'll do anything to feel human again. Even things he wouldn't be so willing to do before all that mess.

Meanwhile, at the Magus Bazaar, a certain Asian Dragon is walking by.

"Hey, aren't you that dragon who betrayed the Dragon Council by joining forces with the Dark Dragon?" A fairy asks.

"Yes, I am." Ex-Councillor Chang answers.

"Are you gonna try to take over the magical and human worlds again?" The fairy asks.

"No." She answers. "Seeing the humans afraid of us is enough to me. For a while."
