Chapter #: ?
"Greeting Huntzgirl" said a voice unlike that of the Huntzmaster and Rose turned to see a red haired boy with pitch black eyes walk out of the shadows
"Who are you? And how do you know I'm the Huntzgirl?" asked Rose getting into a fighting stance
"Simple, it seems in this dimension I am the Keeper of Time, something FAR more powerful then any dragon" said the boy as his head seemed to tilt to the side and Rose looked at him confused
"Explain" she said in her Huntzgirl voice and the boy laughed
"You can not intimidate me girl, I am far beyond your league or has the Huntzmaster not taught you that the Keeper of Time is to be respected?" asked the boy
"Who are you?" she asked and the boy smiled lightly
"That, girl, is the correct question. I am Flare, Master of darkness and the Keeper of Time" said Flare as he smiled
"What do you want, Flare?" asked Rose and Flare smirked
"The American Dragon knows who you are, and yet stays his claw" said Flare and Rose blinked if the American dragon knew who she was why didn't he just finish her off when she was at school? True there would be a few witnesses but that could be fixed with a potion
"I-I don't understand" said Rose as many thoughts ran through her head
"He is one who loves you so much he is willing to leave you live even if it is a danger to the Magical world" said Flare before starting to leave
"Wait! Can't you tell me who he is?" asked Rose and flare shook his head
"No, but I will tell you this you are a classic Romeo and Juliet with a modern twist" said Flare as his body seemed to fade into darkness
"WAIT!! Damn he's gone" said Rose as she turned and headed into school before walking right into Jake Long, "Oh sorry Jake, I didn't see you..." said Rose and Jake seemed to avoid her gaze
"It's alright, it happens" said Jake quickly(A/N: sorry I do NOT do Jake that well but bare with) as he quickly helped her and started to leave and something clicked in Rose's mind
"Um Jake can I ask you something? It's kinda major" said Rose thinking on how to ask this without sounding like a crazy person if she was wrong
"What?" he asked
"Have you heard of the Huntzclan?" asked Rose as she mentally slapped herself before thinking maybe she could pass it off as one of Prof. Rotwood's crazy assignments. Noticing Rose's 'slip' Jake saw a way to get more information about the Huntzclan
"A little, aren't they that group that believes in magical creatures?" asked Jake and Rose nods getting the one thing she needed, without much trouble
"Jake, are you the-" Rose stops and closes her eyes and takes a deep breath to calm down for her heart was racing, and it wasn't the fact she thought she had finally found her prey but the fact she may have been hunting the one she loves, "Are you the American Drag-" she started only for Trixie to try to shut her up and Rose to dodge and a figure to appear
"Congrats Huntzgirl, and American Dragon" said the figure and Rose turned to it and realized it was Flare, "I am surprised at how idiotic you two could be, luckily fate is kind to those in love, although it doesn't always suffer fools(A/N: Credit for that quote goes to one of my favorite authors on AFF)" said Flare as he smiled at the two be fore motioning to the school. Looking at where the Keeper of Time had motioned to the duo noticed the entire student body was frozen in time, but not them or Trixie and Spud
"Who are you?" asked Jake as he prepared to Dragon up, the fact Rose was Huntsgirl be damned
"I am the Keeper of Time and master of darkness, I am Flare" said Flare as he bowed towards the American Dragon
"You're in league with the Dark Dragon!" yelled Jake and Flare laughed
"No, I am not allied with that weak excuse for a dark user" said Flare as he motioned to the door, "I will not suffer you two much longer so go, so I may release this building from time-freeze" said Flare and the Dragon and Dragon-hunter left the building and as soon as they did th building came to life once more

"Jake listen I-" started Rose
"Save it, you told me all you need to on the ski trip" said Jake before Rose grabbed him and pressed her lips to his
"I love you Jake" said Rose as she pulled away from the now stunned dragon-boy
"Rose I-" the words didn't come out as he just pulled Rose into an embrace and just held her close until Rose did something unexpected, she pushed him away and just in time as a bolt of green energy hit the ground right where Jake had been
"Huntzmaster!" said Rose and Jake was about to Dragon up when Flare reappeared
"This guy is getting on my NERVES!" said Flare as he moved towards the Huntzmaster
"And who are you boy?" asked the Huntzmaster and Flare grinned
"I am the Keeper of Time, and you are to stop this unless you want the Huntzclan never to exist?" said Flare and the Huntsmaster sighed before glaring at Rose
"Rose you are at school to learn not to flirt with boys" said the Huntzmaster and Flare laughed
"Time is the true master here now leave before I send these two even farther!" said Flare and the Huntsmaster left
"I've got to go Rose" said Jake as he started off to his gramp's shop
"I'm coming with you, if you are going to your master he'll need to know about me" said Rose and Jake tried and failed to talk her out of it

Weeks past and Flare kept the couple safe while the seeds of their romance grew when they were close enough that Flare felt safe to let them be he gave them a fair well and left the dimension till the next time he returned
