Chapter 3: Distractions

Trixie and Spud ran into the cafeteria. They were still puzzled of what just happened. But they looked over to see Sun Park discussing to them about being nominated for Homecoming Queen and King.

"Groovy," both Jake and Rose said at the same time.

Trixie and Spud ran over to Jake. "Already time to go now!" Trixie said as she shoved Jake away from Rose. Rose stood their confused as all three of them left the cafeteria.

"Hey, what are you guys doing!? I need to talk to Rose!" Jake yelled as he tried to wrestle himself out of the grip of Trixie and Spud.

"Uhh, that can wait. We need you now to…" Spud thought trying to make up an excuse.

"To… help us on the Homecoming committee. We need all the help we can get." Trixie gave a fake smile toward Jake.

"Umm… I thought you two just signed up to get with Stacey and Kyle?"

"Well, now me and Spud are really into it, isn't that right Spud!?" Trixie gestured toward Spud.

"Yeah totally, Do you think you can, lend a hand?"

"Sorry guys, but I got to talk to my new queen and discuss the plans for Homecoming," Jake gave an arrogant smile and started to walk off.

"Jakey, you're not going to ditch us for that Rose girl again." Trixie yelled in annoyance.

"Alright fine, I'll help you with some decorations. But right after I need to talk to Rose!" He agreed.

"Whatever, meet Spud and I on the field after school okay?"

A half a second later, the bell rang. The three of them headed out of the hallway, and into their next class.

After school, Trixie and Spud grabbed Jake, and headed down to the back field. There, they spend the whole afternoon helping out with the Homecoming floats, well, most of the day…

"Oooh there goes Kyle Wilkins! Kyle 'fine, like lemon-lime in the summertime' Wilkins!" Trixie said as she was distracted by the good looking Kyle Wilkins.

Jake walks up to Trixie as she awkwardly stared at Kyle. "Umm… Trixie, I really should be getting out of here. You know to talk to Rose and all…"

Trixie broke free from Kyle and turned around from Jake, "Sorry Jakey, but we can't let you off the hook that easily!" she smiled and stared back at Kyle.

"Hey Kyle!" she shouted toward and started to walk over toward him.

Jake looked over to see Spud hopelessly writing plans to get Stacey to 'kissy kissy' him. Jake thought the coast was clear, and decided to ditch this and go try to find Rose. He walked over to the exit of the field, and ran into someone.

He looked up to find Rose, "Oh hey Rose, I was just about to-"

"Jake! I'm glad I found you, we need to talk!" Rose said as she grabbed his hand and told him to empty hallway. "The Huntsman knows where the last Aztec Skull is. It's in an Aztec Exhibit in the Central Park Zoo." She shouted out to him.

"No problem, the Amdrag is all over this one!" Jake said.

"Good. The Huntsclan should be heading up there right now, I need you to get there now and get it before he does."

Jake nodded his head, and watched as Rose ran into the city to join up with the Huntsclan. Instead, Jake went the opposite way to tell his Grandpa and Fu first. After, he dragoned up, and headed toward the Zoo. Once here, he met up with the Huntsclan who was already there. He watched in the back as they searched through the exhibit looking for the skull.

"Got it master," Rose, or better known as Huntsgirl, said as she grabbed the last skull out of the building.

"Excellent, once all 13 skulls united, I shall finally have the power to wipe magical creatures off the face of the Earth!

He looked over to see numbers 88 and 89 playing around with a monkey.

"SILENCE! Keep your mouth shut, and your eyes open. Lately, it seems the American Dragon has known our every move!" the Huntsman said.

Jake decides it a perfect time to drop in, "You got that right!" He yelled toward the Huntsman as he used his tail to knock him over.

"DESTROY THE DRAGON!" he yelled over to his Huntsclan.

As 88 and 89 ran off the with Aztec Skull, Huntsgirl decided to take care of this, "This one's mine master, AI-YAH!" she yelled and attacked the American Dragon. He and she hurled into what looked like a nearby control room. Once there, Huntsgirl takes off her mask to reveal her face.

"Jake, 88 and 89 are getting away with the skull!" she said to him.

"They won't get far; Fu dog is guarding the rear exit."

"I better get out there," Rose said as started putting back on her mask. "The Huntsman has been getting suspicious…"

Jake grabbed her mask, and stared down at her. He sense the… doubt of her not wanting to go to Homecoming still. "Rose, just think about Homecoming. The two of us as king and queen, it wouldn't be so bad…" he begged her.

"We'll talk tomorrow, okay?" she said as she put on the mask and walked out the door. Jake flew off and went back at Fu Dog who was over by 88 and 89. Jake flew in just in time, to retrieve the last skull before they got away. He and Fu soared back over to his grandpa's shop.

As the sunset was leaving, Rose looked out of the tree, to see if she could spot Trixie and Spud. She still needed to know what happened, and was getting a little nervous. She looked up at the faded sun, and hoped that everything was still going according to plan.

This chapter has a whole lot of scenes pictured in from Homecoming. I added that whole scene from the zoo, because if I didn't, this chapter would be super short xD.

Also note, this story is going to be short so there's probably going to be only 3-4 chapters left.
