American Dragon Season Three
Disclaimer: I don't own the title to the chapter, which is the title of a 1987 horror film called Zombie High, which stars Virginia Madsen. As already stated, I don't own American Dragon either, but I sure as Hell wish I did!
Chapter/Episode 5: Zombie High
Everyone at Millard Fillmore High School knew that early in the mornings of Monday not to be in the way of the school Football players. Well, unless you were a freshman…It was because of this, that when Freshman Jake Long entered the school with a down look on his face, he was surprised to see all of the students cowering at the sides, each pressed against their own lockers.
"Yo…" Jake was about to ask, but he was pushed away as Football players Tyler Bane, Brad Morton, Josh, Davis, Bobby Basco and Ben Patrick entered. Jake grunted as he grabbed his now soar shoulders. "Yo, that ain't cool!"
"Did you just talk to me?" Bane turned around. "Nobody outside the football team even thinks about asking me anything unless they want to go to the hospital on Life Support!" Tyler bane then grabbed onto Jake by his now throbbing shoulders and shoved him against a locker. Recovering quickly, Jake scowled as he watched the laughing jocks walk away.
"Oh my goodness, please tell me that you're okay!" Jake turned as he heard a female voice that he was not familiar with. Beside him stood a girl with wavy red hair; she was wearing a purple shirt and was also wearing black leather pants.
"I'm fine…" Jake thanked her. "Um, I don't think I've ever met you before…"
"That's because I'm a year ahead of you." The girl smiled as she held out her hand. "My name is Holly Jennings. You know, those jocks are such jerks."
"Aren't they?" Jake said before holding out his hand. "Anyway, my name is…"
"You're Jake Long…" Holly smiled.
"Yo, how do you know who I am?"
"Listen Jake…" Holly got closer and whispered into his ear. "Is it okay if we talk someplace private?"
LINE BREAK
Holly opened up a closet door and shoved Jake in. Before Jake could even blink, Holly quickly jumped in and closed the door before grabbing a wooden chair and blocking the knob.
"What are you doing?" Jake tried to ask, but soon a light purple dragon took the place of Holly.
"Everyone in the magical community knows what the American Dragon has done…" Holly continued. "Please, Jake…I need your help. My older brother Teddy, or T.J. as I call him, has been missing for about a month. I think he may be in danger. You are a very powerful dragon…And with the Huntsgirl on your side…"
"Yo, say no more!" Jake closed his eyes in ease and put a confident and cocky grin on his face. "No need to fear, the Am Drag will help you…This dragon is here for you."
Holly smiled before she powered down. Jake was suddenly caught off guard as Holly gave him a strong hug. "Thanks, Jake…" Holly thanked him.
LINE BREAK
In the school gym, there was a window on top of the roof, allowing sun to shine through the room. However, this must have been a bad idea as a tan dragon slammed through it and landed softly on the ground.
Chuckling evilly, Annie Chen pulled out at vile of some liquid before walking over to a wooden crate of water. Annie Chen unscrewed the vile and poured the liquid into it. As the water formed into a reddish-green color, Chen laughed even harder.
"No more Misses Nice Dragon…"
BLACKOUT; THEME SONG PLAYS
BACK TO THE SHOW/STORY
At lunch, Rose sighed as she sat alone at the table; the only company she had was Trixie and Spud, who were constantly bickering about something. "No!" Trixie exclaimed. "I'm tired of recording Mr. Piggy's Play House for you!"
"But, Trix…"
"Hey, guys!" Rose suddenly had an idea. "Why don't you be quiet? I think that would be a good idea."
"Whoa, someone's in a bad mood…" Trixie said, however, she still continued to talk to Spud. Annoyed, Rose clenched her teeth and lowered her head into her hands.
"Yo, home girl…" Rose suddenly lifted her head as Trixie's voice called to her. Turning around, Rose could see Jake standing behind her. Holly was standing right behind him.
"Jake!" Rose cried happily as she jumped up and hugged him. "I'm so glad to see you!"
"Yo, Rose…" Jake was happy, but he still pulled her arms off of him. "I'm glad to see you too, but we just saw each other not too long ago."
"I know…" Rose looked down. "But here, it isn't a huge deal if we spend time together. My parents don't know who I see at school; and what they don't know won't get me put under house arrest."
"Glad to hear that!" Holly chimed in. "Now, you two can get caught up later. Jake, just tell her what my problem is!"
"Oh, I already know what her problem is…" Rose said under her breath, but she just looked up innocently and smiled as she felt Holly's glare upon her. "Well, what is your problem?"
"Someone has my brother!" Holly smiled.
"And what makes you think we can help you?" Rose asked. "I mean, don't you think that calling the cops would be a better option?"
"She knows I'm a dragon, Rose." Jake sighed. "And she knows that you're the Huntsgirl. Basically, she knows about us."
"But how?" Trixie seemed to be getting in on the conversation. Spud was following closely behind her.
"Because I'm a dragon!" Holly smiled. Trixie frowned before walking over to Jake.
"Um, Jakie…" Trixie pulled Jake away from the others. "Don't you think that home girl's attitude is a little suspicious?"
"Nah!" Jake shook this off. "I think this girl is sincere."
LINE BREAK
The doors to the gym slammed open as the Football players stormed inside. Tyler Bane spread far out from the others as he dropped his bag on the ground and pulled out his gear. As Bane pulled out his helmet, Brad came up to him.
"Hey, do you mind if I borrow that?" Brad tried to ask. "I uh…left mine at home. So, can I?"
"No." Bane replied firmly. However, Brad still insisted and tried to grab the helmet. Bane angrily grabbed onto Brad and pushed him across the room where the idiot jock slammed into the crate.
All the other jocks laughed as Brad gurgled as the water hit him and then continued to soak the floor. It wasn't until the jocks noticed that the water looked gross, did they worry about the fact that it was touching their feet.
"Ew! What is this?" Basco asked, jumping up until he smacked into Davis and they both fell into the water on their backs. Interested, Bane looked down as the green water made contact with his feet, causing a sizzling and some steam to come from it. Looking around, Bane could see that the others were terrified.
"Sissies…" Bane scoffed as he lifted his foot up and slid his finger across his shoe. Bringing his finger up, Bane could see the green stuff harden into a solid before it quickly hardened onto his skin. Okay, now he was afraid.
"What the…?" Bane tried to shake it off, however this only caused the green solid to rise, almost as if it were on hind legs. Looking down in shock, Bane struggled not to scream from the terror and the pain as the green solid seemed to jump into his skin and disappear. The level of his terror soon died down and Tyler Bane seemed to calm down a little bit. Moments later, his skin slowly started to turn green and his eyes rolled into the back of his head and he let out a groan.
Turning to see his fellow jocks, they all had green skin, dead eyes and they were currently groaning. Finally, Bane turned to see a zombie Brad stand up; he had all the same traits and he groaned as well. Although he wasn't himself, Tyler Bane let out a wide and evil grin. A supernatural force had taken over his body…and he loved it.
BLACKOUT; CUT TO COMMERCIAL
BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
Currently, Jake, Rose, Trixie, Spud and Holly were in a school closet where Holly had whipped some kind of map out of her backpack and put it on an upside down pale as if it were a table.
"There…" Holly pointed to a location. "That's where I think they're holding him."
"You think?!" Rose retorted. "I'm sorry, but I just can't help you! My parents will kill me if they find out that I'm even talking to Jake—let alone helping him!" After a beat, she spoke again: "Are you sure you can't call the cops?"
"I'm sure…" Holly replied. Before she could go on, there was a loud booming noise, almost as if it were an explosion. "What was that?!" Jake was ahead of her; transforming into a red dragon, he quietly approached the door and opened it ajar.
Suddenly, Jake was absolutely shocked to see the football players groaning and hunched over as they slowly inched across the hall. Jake's eyes widened as he shut the door, having heard Stacey's terrified scream as she was flung across by the zombie jocks. This turned out to be a good idea, as Stacey slammed across the door. The door came off its hinges and the unconscious cheerleader was on top of the door.
"Stacey?" Spud was absolutely horrified.
In all the commotion, no one really noticed as a red and a purple dragon flew out of the closet and began attacking the zombies. Back in the closet, Trixie and Spud were forced to back up against three zombies had entered.
"Yo, where's Rose?" Spud asked.
"She ran off!" Trixie reported. "Quite the brave warrior, huh?!"
However, the two teens were brought out of their negative feelings for the girl as the zombies got closer, one reaching to grab Spud's neck. However, in a blast of green, the zombie let out a monstrous groaning howl of agony as its arm was blasted off and hit the ground. Trixie and Spud were surprised, yet relieved, to see a Huntsclan uniform and mask clad Rose landing right in front of them. Rose then used her staff once more to blast all three zombies with her staff. All three were slammed against the wall; they then hit the ground with a thud. Turning to them, Rose pulled off her mask.
"Thought I left you guys hanging, didn't you?" she said with a rather smug smirk.
"No, we're always this damp!" Trixie and Spud retorted in unison.
"Well, okay then…You're welcome." Rose turned and pulled her mask back on before sprinting out of the room. As Rose jumped into the air with a battle cry, those still cowering against the lockers stared in awe at the sight.
"Who is that?" Mrs. Jenkins asked as Rose landed and knocked two zombies off of their feet by swinging her staff against their polluted feet.
"Oh sure, they recognize her, but not us…" Holly pouted, making Jake smile before he blew a fire blast at the zombies. Rose landed in front of them.
"You go and think about the rescue!" Rose offered. "I can take it from here!"
Before the dragons could disagree with this, Rose let out a cry as she charged and jumped, doing a flip, as she disappeared into the circle of zombies.
"No, Rose!" Jake tried to join in, but Holly grabbed his scaly arm. "What are you doing, Holly?"
"Let her handle this!" Holly begged. "She can take them, but my brother…Please!"
With a groan, Jake complied as he and Holly flew off back into the closet where they reverted back into their human forms.
Back in the zombie pit, Rose slammed the blade of her staff into the tiles of the floor before using it to swing herself so that she ended up kicking all of the zombies around her. However, Bane got irritated and threw a hand at her; Rose dodged, but her staff ended up being snapped into two.
"Oh, so that's the way you want to play it, huh?" Rose grinned as she held her fists up. Bane growled as he threw himself at the hunter, but Rose managed to land two blows to the football team captain's face before flipping backwards onto her hands and kicking him right in the jaw.
Bane was thrown onto his back with a grunt. Rose put a cocky grin on her face, but grunted as zombie Brad grabbed her by her braid. Despite her struggling, Bane grinned as he got up to see Rose lying on the ground, pinned down by the arms by Brad and Basco. Bane chuckled in a demonic and freak way that wasn't his as he crouched down and pulled off her mask.
"Hello Rose…" Bane's voice cracked as he spoke. Snapping his green and gross fingers, a zombie version of Davis slowly crept up and put his gross and contaminated hand over Rose's mouth, cutting off her grunts as she tried to fight for her freedom. "You are one of us…"
These words echoing through her mind, Rose was suddenly reminded of the Huntsman and how he had taken her away and nearly ruined her life. Focusing her energy, Rose forced the lower half of her body up, where the tip of her boots made contact with Brad and Basco's faces. Both were thrown to the ground as Rose got up. Turning to his opponent with dead eyes, Davis grunted as Rose slammed her foot into him, slamming the zombie into a locker. Rose turned to finish off Bane, but he was gone.
LINE BREAK
Moments later, Jake and Holly burst through the doors of Canal Street Electronics. Both exhausted, they both bent over, putting their hands on their knees and tried to catch their breaths. Jake was the first one to recover.
"Gramps, we've got some serious problems!"
"I'm sorry…" a falsely sweet voice hissed. Jake reacted with horror, bumping into Holly on accident as Annie Chen appeared out of the darkness. "But I'm afraid that your grandfather is no longer here…"
"What did you do to my grandpa?!" Jake raged as he transformed into a red dragon.
"Down boy…" Chen grinned. "I didn't do anything to your grandpa. He's a lucky one too…Not home at the right time."
"Well, Rose isn't here either!"
"You think she's my target at this moment?!" Chen laughed. "Oh no…I promised that I would get to her through those that she holds dearest to her. But then again, she's already out of the picture…"
"WHERE'S ROSE?!" Jake flew at Chen and slammed her against the wall. "If she's hurt in any way…"
"You are so naïve…" Chen grinned. "I've gotten my revenge on her…The only person now to get revenge on would be you…"
"What are you talking about?"
"You know these zombies?" Chen's smile widened. "A funny thing it is…All you need is a little potion and all beings that come across it become infected."
"What are they?" Jake could hear Holly ask from behind.
"Staph zombies…" Chen relished in the look of fear in Jake's eyes. "Short for Staphylococcus zombies…Anyone who comes in contact with them…Oh, I'm sorry American Dragon; your beloved hunter fought them, didn't she?"
LINE BREAK
Rose was currently sitting in her room looking at her math book. Rose sighed; it's not like she could do anything else! She was still grounded after her encounter with Chen, and her father had applied a Terrible Teen Security System in her room. Sighing, Rose returned her attention to her math book, only to jump up as her skin began to itch. Groaning, Rose began to scratch mercilessly as her mother entered with a pile of laundry. Her mother dropped the pile on the ground and began to sort the items.
You have to tell her! One part of Rose's mind shot out; perhaps it was her good side. No, you'll only get in more trouble! Bad side…
Rose's mother continued to fold Rose's clothing and put them in her daughter's drawer. However, she stopped as she held up a particular item.
"Honey…" her mother asked. "What do you want me to do with your old school uniform?" Rose's mother turned for an answer only to gasp in shock as Rose grunted; greenness spreading through her skin.
"Rose?"
As her daughter slowly brought her head up, her mother almost screamed in terror as she saw that her daughter's eyes were dead, empty and blood-shot. Roaring, Rose hopped off of her bed and charged at her screaming mother, just as her father came whistling down the hall. He stopped at the horrific sight.
"Rose?!" he demanded. "What in god's name are you doing?"
Slime now dripping from her mouth, Rose slowly lifted her up, turned and charged at her father…
LINE BREAK
Jake shut his eyes and tried to block out the sound of Annie Chen's maniacal laughter. Although one part of his mind was screaming "Destroy her!" Jake refrained himself. He turned to Holly.
"Holly…" Jake struggled not to let the hurt appear in his voice. "Go into the back room and find something…anything to tie her up with. Her plotting ends today."
"Yes sir!" Holly replied, comically putting her hand to her forehead and saluting him. After the other dragon had disappeared into the back, Jake took his claws off of Chen and backed off.
"You think you've won?!" Chen growled. "Well, you haven't! You cannot bring an end to my attempts for justice!"
With an enraged roar, Chen transformed into a dragon and tried to attack Jake, but before she could even make an inch, an explosion blasted the wall she was against. With a yelp, Chen flew across the room and slammed against the across wall with a grunt before her unmoving form landed onto the floor. Turning, Jake could see his grandfather, Fu Dog, Trixie and Spud.
"Gramps!" Jake cried happily. "You're here; you made it!"
"Of course we are, kid." Fu replied.
"Trixie and Spud told us what happened." Lao-Shi finished as he walked in.
"And don't worry about the wall…" Fu added. "It's taken worse. We'll fix it."
Jake turned to look at the form of Chen on the ground and smiled lightly. Maybe they would actually win today. Jake started to walk over to his grandfather, but stopped as he heard a crash and a scream coming from Holly.
Quickly, Jake arrived at the doorway to the back room only to gasp as he saw two pairs of zombie hands through the wooden floor holding onto Holly's ankles.
"Jake, help me!" Holly begged as the grip made her trip. Landing on her stomach, Holly screamed as she was pulled into the hole. "JAAAAAKKKE!" Holly formed her purple dragon claws, but it only resulted in scratching the floor. In the blink of an eye, the girl disappeared into the hole.
Jake stared in utter shock and horror. First Rose and now Holly…Jake was completely alone…
CUT TO BLACK; COMMERCIAL
BACK TO THE SHOW/STORY
Jake was currently sitting at the counter with Lao-Shi and Fu Dog, while Trixie and Spud were sitting by the couch guarding the now captive Chen, who had her wings and wrists bound together with rope and her snout also tied shut. Fu Dog was currently stirring something while Lao-Shi was looking at a book.
"Staph zombies…" the elder dragon read. "The book says that they are extremely rare. The last known outbreak of this was over a hundred years ago. There is not much other information than that." He set the book down. "Fu Dog, any luck at finding a cure?"
"Nah…" was all Fu said. "I'm sorry kid. It looks like there is only one way to stop them. You're going to have to destroy them all."
"Say what?!" Jake asked, repulsed. "But G, what about Rose and Holly…? Holly was supposed to find her brother…and I could never…no, not Rose!"
"I understand how you feel, young dragon." Lao-Shi said. "But while you couldn't bring yourself to destroy your friends, could you leave them to a fate worse than death? If there is no cure, give them the benefit of the doubt and save her from the rest of her life as a Staph zombie. Rose knows the risks…she made that clear on the night of the Homecoming dance."
"Yo, guys!" Spud spoke up. "I think we have an idea!"
"Like what?" Jake perked up. "I'll do anything."
"Well, staph zombies are nothing more than people with staph that turn into zombies, right?" Spud asked.
"Yeah…"
"Well, how do they treat it?" Trixie asked.
"Antibiotics…" Jake said.
"How about an acid bath?" Spud put it.
"Spudinski…" Fu started. "That has got to be…so stupid that it just might work!"
"Good!" Jake exclaimed as he transformed into a dragon. "You make the acid, Fu!" I'm going to go find Rose and Holly!" However, before Jake could go, Lao-Shi tapped him. "What now?"
"Jake, in case it doesn't work…" Lao-Shi said grimly as he reached into the counter and pulled out a box. The elder dragon opened it to reveal a Huntsclan staff. "You'll need this. It will destroy all of the zombies."
Jake nodded sadly as he grabbed it. Jake then approached the bound dragon that was lying on the couch. Chen had come to sometime during the conversation. Taking the blade and pointing it at her throat, Jake demanded: "Where are they?"
LINE BREAK
The infected zombies were all gathered inside a warehouse where they were all circled around Bane, Rose (who after attacking her parents, had grabbed her Huntsclan uniform and joined the zombies) and Holly.
"Troops…" Bane croaked slowly. "These are our new members: the Huntsgirl and Holly. Welcome to the group…"
Bane stood back and slowly limped over to the zombies. As he reached his now second in command, Ben, he spoke.
"Now what do we do?"
"Patience, Patrick…" Bane smiled. "There is a reason we have Huntsgirl in our infected team…Soon, with her skills, all living souls will be infected zombies!"
"Oh really?" A cocky voice came.
"Dragon…" the now zombie Rose growled.
All the infected slowly turned to face the American Dragon, who was standing in the doorway. "Get him!" Bane demanded; Ben Patrick immediately jumped into action, only to be blasted with a green energy beam. Patrick dropped to the ground like a rock.
"Blast!" Bane cursed, turning to Josh. "You're in his position now!"
Grinning, Josh slowly tried to charge at Jake, but once again was destroyed with a blast. Jake then cockily flew up to a higher level. Both growling, Holly and Rose decided to attack next. Holly transformed into a purple dragon and Rose jumped up to the level with amazing agility.
"Come and get me, zombie dudes!" Jake welcomed.
"It's on…" Holly told herself.
"Have it your way, you freak!" Rose spat and both dragon and hunter charged at Jake.
LINE BREAK
Back at the shop, Fu Dog was still stirring the potion. The shar-pei was being very careful not to get the acid he was using onto his fur. However, he was being pressured by Lao-Shi, who was currently pacing.
"Is it ready, Fu Dog?" the elder dragon asked.
"I'm only a dog!" Fu retorted. "Give me some time or it may not have the desired effect!"
"Okay…" Lao-Shi softened up, but then became strict again. "But try your best to hurry! We may already be too late and Jake may be one of them!"
Fu suddenly stopped stirring and looked up. "Aw fudge, you may be right! Hey, Trix and Spudinski! Come here and tell me if you think that this might be ready."
"But we don't know anything about potions!" Spud whined.
"Well, that's too bad!" Fu shot back. "You two are the only people in this room I could ask your opinion on…"
"What about Gramps?" Spud asked.
"Are you kidding?" Lao-Shi asked. "I don't know anything on potions either."
"Come on, Spudinski!" Trixie grabbed Spud by the wrist and they walked over to Fu's cauldron. Looking up, Chen could see that her threat was gone. Grinning, Chen opened her mouth as wide as the rope would allow her, which was enough to blow a fireball onto her bonds. As soon as the ropes binding her wrists were reduced to nothing, Chen sat up and pulled off the rope around her snout. Chen then easily spread her wings, making the ropes around them to snap.
Trixie and Spud turned around only to gasp in horror as they witnessed their prisoner freeing herself.
"Spudinski, I thought you told me that you knew how to tie knots!" Trixie shot.
"I do!" Spud defended himself. "Mr. Piggy taught me how!"
"Oh…" Trixie knew now that they were in trouble. "Well, no wonder she escaped…"
"Oh, you children certainly are amusing!" Chen grinned evilly as she spun her tail at the two. The tail slammed into Trixie, who was sent flying into Spud. As they hit each other, both fell on to their rumps.
"What's going on?" Lao-Shi turned around at the sound of the ruckus only to gasp as Chen's tail smashed into him. With a cry, Lao-Shi hit the counter. The grinning Chen then turned him over and smashed his head against the counter. Lao-Shi slowly slid to the floor with a groan.
As Fu looked up from his potion, Chen was ready to claim her next target. "Here, pooch…" Chen purred. Thinking quickly, Fu pulled out his brewing spoon and flicked some acid, which hit Chen right in the face. With a howl, Chen lifted up off of her feet and flew off.
"Fu Dog…" Lao-Shi's weal plea came. "Follow her! She'll lead you to Jake!"
LINE BREAK
With each attack Holly and Rose dealt, Jake struggled not to touch them. It really looked like Jake was just trying to dodge them. Holly must have thought so as well.
"Fight back you coward!" Holly demanded as she flew above him and tried to attack him from behind. Jake knew that there was no way he could do this…not with both of them on one side of him. Things only seemed to get worse as Chen smashed through the roof. For a moment, Jake contemplated giving up.
However, soon a miracle came. Seconds after Chen's arrival, Fu rushed in through the door with the cauldron. With a grin, Jake swooped up, making both Rose and Holly slam into each other.
"Fu, bring it right here!" Jake pointed right below him to one side.
"No!" Bane boomed. "Stop the dog!"
As Jake spotted Fu arriving at the side where he wanted them, Jake lowered himself and pointed the staff at Holly.
"What do you plan to do with that?" Holly tormented him as she flew up. It was then that Jake fired a length of chains at the purple dragons, just like Rose had done to him during their final battle with the Huntsclan. The chains wrapped around Holly's torso, pinning her arms to her sides and making the now bound dragon plummet to the ground below. Jake looked over to see Holly land directly into the cauldron, with a splash that sent drops flying out, hitting the zombies that were trying to attack Fu.
With one down and only one to go, Jake landed, but Rose leaped at him. Thinking quickly, Jake fired a net out of the staff. As it hit her, Rose was thrown onto the ground, now trapped underneath the net. Walking over to the girl he loved, Jake could actually see a pleading look deep in her eyes.
"I'm not going to end you…" Jake said. Suddenly, an enraged Chen grabbed Jake from behind and threw him to the ground before pressing her foot down on his head.
"This is how my son died, you…" she started to say, but she was cut off as a length of chains wrapped around her wings. With a yell, Chen was thrown to the side where the screeching dragon fell over the rail and into the mob of infected zombies.
Looking up, Jake expected to see his grandfather, but was instead surprised to see Bane. The monstrous jock tossed the staff away.
"Must I do everything myself…" he croaked.
"No!" Jake confidently got up and lifted himself off the ground. "Just sit back, relax and leave your defeat to me."
Bane roared and threw an attack at Jake, but Jake dodged it. Jake suddenly decided a new approach.
"Tyler, listen to me!" Jake begged. "Let me help you! We have a cure! You don't want to spend the rest of your life like this, do you?"
"You have no idea!" Bane croaked gleefully. "I have all the power!"
However, Jake could suddenly see another form behind the demented and diseased football player. Jake was shocked to see that it was Rose, who threw herself into Bane. Both zombies struggled for power, but Rose dominated him. The zombie Rose pushed both herself and Bane over the rail. Jake could hear the zombie inside of Bane scream as it was destroyed with a splash.
Jake looked over the side of the rail as the weight of three people in the cauldron made it tip over. The bright red skinned forms of Rose, Bane and the still chained Holly fell out and all three howled in agony as their backs collided with the floor.
"Way to go kid!" Jake could hear Fu congratulate him.
LINE BREAK
With all of the zombies either destroyed or cleansed, Jake, Fu, Lao-Shi, Trixie and Spud were now all in the shop.
"Excellent job, Jakie!" Trixie praised her friend as Lao-Shi passed each of them a cup of tea. "Now, how many did you have to destroy?"
"Not very many…" Jake said in a relieved tone.
"I'm just glad this is all over…" Spud replied.
"Yeah, but I can't help but think that there is something we may have forgotten." Fu added.
"Like what?" Jake asked.
LINE BREAK
Back at Millard Fillmore High School, Principal Nosca was entering his office. As soon as he opened the door, he was surprised to see Brad, still a zombie.
"Mr. Morton, what are you doing in my office?"
Brad responded only with a groan.
"Mr. Morton, if you don't get out of my office RIGHT NOW, I will be forced to give you detention." Nosca started to say calmly.
Brad responded with yet only another groan.
"Alright, that's it!" Nosca reached over and grabbed one of his canes. "PUT YOU HEAD ON THE WALL!!!!"
A little confused, the Brad zombie shrugged its shoulders and slowly slid to the wall and placed his head on the wall.
"Wow!" Nosca happily said. "It's like I have my own zombie!"
LINE BREAK
Back at the shop, Jake only muttered a couple of words.
"Oh…my…god…"
"What are we going to do, Jakie?" Trixie asked.
She was responded with a familiar call and a red dragon appearing. "It's dragon time…"
BLACKOUT; END OF EPISODE
A/N- I hoped you like this, because I do…and I had fun writing it. It actually occurred to me that this actually could possibly be offensive to some. I assure you, that was not my intention. I actually based this on a bit of my life, actually. The character Holly is based on my dog, who I love dearly and her brother, T.J., who was not seen in this, but will eventually be seen, is based on our dog who passed away back in September of 2008. Please review and look for the next chapter/episode.
