Chapter 4: Ninjas and Skateboards

WHAM!

Another face plant into the sidewalk for Zuko.

Dragon powers were enough, now skateboarding?

And this weakling body was not going to work.

Dragging his body up, Zuko began to walk back to the apartment.

By now, he had known his way and clicked the door open.

Stepping in, his so called 'mom' came out and nearly screamed at the sight of him.

Zuko could hardly blame her; for the entire day, he had done nothing but try to balance himself on that wretched skateboard.

By now, he had bruises, cuts, scrapes, and lost at least a gallon of blood as his face was caked with dirt and gravel like he was a piece of sidewalk himself.

"Jake, if this is how you're going to end up every day, I will NOT allow you to skateboard ever again!" his so called 'mother' screeched and Haley came over to him.

"Wow. I've never gotten cut nor scrape in my life. Mommy is it true that girls are more graceful than boys?" she asked perkily and Zuko found himself scowling.

Walking past his mother's screaming complaints and his, now oh too perfect and annoying, little sister, he down to the basement; where a set of weights and other exercise equipment was kept.

For the past few days, Zuko had turned this weak body into slightly bulged and was working his way up.

Doing that really helped him focus on his dragon powers and take them to new levels with his Firebending training he had before.

Long Shu told him that even though you two switched bodies, you both have a little part of your powers before you two switched.

So Zuko now had Dragon powers and some Firebending Powers as well.

It's too bad that he couldn't take his new power back to his world.

That way, he could just fly after the Avatar every time he took to the skies with that annoying bison.

Putting 10 pound weights on each barbell, he took one in each hand and began his series of curls; 50 on each side each morning, afternoon, and night with the added of 3-5 pounds each day. Just as he was done with those and walked over to a gymnastics bar and began to do chin-ups on it, his so called dad came in.

He was sort of dorky and was afraid of almost everything; even his own sweater.

He wore glasses and dressed in a brown suit with green tie, very tacky; especially with the white shirt.

As he was on his 15th chin-up, his father spoke.

"Now, Jake. I can see that you're growing, but do you have to be this, you know, sort of obsessed with your body? Not that I'm saying you look bad, you look great, actually, but don't you think you're taking this exercise thing a little too far?" he stuttered and Zuko looked at him; this was barely compared to the training he had to do when he was in his own body in order to control his Firebending.

"What did you say, father?" he asked dully.

Right about now, compared to this one, he would have easily preferred his real father; even though he did scar and banish him.

"I mean; I think it's time we had the talk." He said; stumbling over words ever so often.

"Father, I know about all that stuff." Zuko said and his 'father' stumbled back; looking flustered.

"You do? Well, I'm proud of you, Jake. And you have grown taller too. Well, I'll leave you alone." He said; twiddling his thumbs before he left and Zuko just shrugged and resumed his chin-ups.

After he had done 100, he got down and began doing crunches.

Just then, the door opened again and those 2 people, Trixie and Spud, he remembered, came through.

"Yo, Jake. Why are you so---ooh, dang, Jake. Have you been working out?" Trixie asked; nearly drooling. Jake had grown buffer; he had distinct bulges on his arms, legs, and they could see abs. Not to mention taller; he was now almost Spud's height and just a little taller than Trixie.

"Wow, dude. I've never seen anyone go from that to, like, that in just a few days." Spud said; also eyeing the bulges.

"Whatever. What is it that you want?" Zuko asked and Trixie came out of his trance.

"We're going boarding to the new live concert! And Shaniqua's going to be there!" Trixie said excitedly; hoping that Jake would come with her.

But Zuko didn't know who Shaniqua was, or what the heck she did, so he just shrugged.

"I think I'll pass." He said and Trixie and Spud stared at him; Jake misses a chance seeing Shaniqua?

That was about as right as peanut butter with pickles; wrong and promptly disturbing.

"But you love Shaniqua!" Spud exclaimed and Trixie put one hand to Zuko's sweaty forehead.

"Are you sick or something?" she asked; feeling his sweaty head and the veins that were sticking out because of the workout.

"No, I don't think I am." Zuko responded calmly and Trixie looked at him again.

"Do you have to baby-sit Haley again? Well, we can help. Like I said before; ain't no thang but a chicken wang." She said and when she said wang, she stuck out her hip a little.

"No, I think I'll just keep here a little. You guys go." Zuko said and Trixie and Spud looked at him before they just walked up and away.

Zuko resumed his crunches and wondered who or what Shaniqua was.

This world was already weird; many strange devices; like one which played music, and another that showed numbers and made noise at a certain time, the list goes on and on.

But all Zuko thought was that if he was going to be Jake, he needed to turn this scrawny body into his old one he had before he changed into him; only shorter.

'Ain't no thang but a chicken wang.' Ha ha. Funny saying. And Trixie's startin' to like Jake, or the new Jake, doesn't she?
A flash of green light zoomed past Katara, causing her to jump and dodge out of the way.

She had been this Rose and Huntsgirl for only a few days, and already, she couldn't wait to get back into her own body.

But this body seemed to react all on its own.

"Huntsgirl, you are lacking." The person wearing a strange mask and clothing said as he put away his scepter.

Katara didn't have any idea what was going on, but some part of her was telling her what to do.

Like an unknown conscience that tells her about stuff that she doesn't have any idea about.

"I'm sorry, Huntsmaster." Katara said; she had known by now to call him that. "Never mind." He snapped irritably.

"If you're going to slay that dragon, you must focus. Now, again." He said and raised his scepter as Katara braced herself in her ninja clad gear and scepter of her own.

Oh, boy. And the Katara in Rose's Body and the Rose in Katara's Body is shorter than the other ones. Jake in Zuko's body and Zuko in Jake's body are longer and somewhat funnier.
"Ow." Jake murmured as he gently touched his arm.

By now, he had almost gotten used to this body and made the better of it.

Making a mental note to work out more if he ever got into his normal body, Jake got up and continued to do this Firebending with his so called Uncle.

When he first discovered he could Firebend, he freaked out and was squealing like a pig about to be slaughtered.

But he soon got used to it and now could control the fire. At least, a little bit.

Turns out, his Uncle was more like his grandpa than he ever thought.

No matter what he did, he wouldn't move Jake on to advanced things or anything.

All he did was made him do the basics over and over and over and over and over again.

And even though he took out some guards in about a minute, his so called Uncle still wouldn't move him on.

And when he was done for the day, he would make Jake drink this gross thing he called Ginseng tea.

His grandpa had loved that too, but now Jake swore to never drink tea as long as he lived.

He had observed many things about many things:

1) his Uncle has a tea obsession

2) His uncle has a shopping addiction

3) that bald kid runs faster and is very obnoxious

4) that boy in blue clothes can't do a thang with that chicken wang (boomerang) of his.

5) That girl may be pretty, but she's deadly all the less.

6) Monkey man has many friends who look like him

7) some other monkey man who calls himself Admiral always rubs it in Zuko's face that he's banished.

8) Zuko can easily kick Admiral Monkey man's butt.

9) He was buff!

10) He had no hair except for a little chunk.

11) He has gold eyes.

12) That bald kid has some flying buffalo and this weird lemur with big green eyes

And:

13) that girl who traveled with the bald kid was fine.

Just then, an all too familiar shadow descended overhead and sure enough, it was that bison with the Avatar.

"The Avatar!" he shouted in his deep voice.

Dang, he still didn't get over that voice change.

His crew came out and Jake decided to go with it.

But right now, that bison had a mind of its own.

If only he could go Dragon Up on him.

Maybe he could; if he still had fire-breathing powers, maybe he still had some Dragon powers.

At least some that can make him fly.

He ran up and clenched his eyes shut and tried to focus.

"Come on, Dragon Up, Dragon Up." He whispered to himself and then, the all too familiar tingly feeling of Dragon Up came to him.

When he opened his eyes, he was Jake Long: American Dragon again!

"Check me out! I am a Dragon again! It is SWEET to be me!" he shouted before taking off in the air! He was a dragon again!

The crew just watched as their supposed prince just turned into a red dragon and Iroh looked after it.

Jake landed on the animal's back and soon found himself being attacked by some person with his or her face concealed in a bag?

That was lame, but the eyes shined through; Huntsgirl.

"Great, and just when I thought this world was peaceful, you come along." Jake snapped.

"Wait---" Huntsgirl began, but Jake didn't and began to attack her.

Even if this was Rose, he needed to attack.

Just then, she spoke.

"Jake." She said softly and Jake stopped.

cliffie. Whatever. Just wait until i get off my butt again and type.
This boy was very cute in the childish way, but not really that cute in the boyfriend way.

Rose could tell that he liked this girl, but she didn't like him.

Right now, she was still getting over Jake and her discovery of everything; that Jake was her enemy, that he was the American Dragon, and he was here; in this world with her.

She needed to see him, to apologize, to try and make amends, to do many things.

She needed to do this.

But she was in a different body and so was he.

Would he even recognize her?

And even if he did, wouldn't he just strike her for being Huntsgirl?

True, she was Huntsgirl, but she was Rose too.

And like Rose, she had a broken heart.

"Hey, Katara. Are you ok?" the boy, Aang, asked.

Rose nodded and sighed before seeing a small steel ship and the boy with the scar on his face, or Jake, out on deck.

Sokka spotted it too.

"Zuko! Aang, make Appa go faster!" he shouted and Aang whipped Appa's reins.

Just then, the Dragon came again.

Aang turned around and saw the Dragon.

"Dragon!" he shouted and Rose had to think quickly.

And she found it; quickly, she grabbed a bag and punched holes in it for eyes.

Just then, she preformed a spin kick as she lunged at the Dragon.

Jake seemed ready and he deflected the kick as they began a battle on the furry thing.

As much as Rose was Huntsgirl, she was still Rose and she had feelings for Jake.

"Jake, stop. Please." She said softly to him and, amazingly, the Dragon stopped.

yeah, review and wait.
Like i said, review and wait. I gotta get a laptop of my own.
