To Flowerstar; They all leave in a world where there are no such things as dragons. So yeah, hope that will clarify your confusion. And thanks :)

Chapter 3: The flight in
Spud breathed in the smell of the airport as he entered through the doors. "Smell that, Trix. That is the smell of a new journey."
Trixie made a face and sniffed. "All I smell is... baloney."
"Don't you mean potatoes?" Spud stared at her.
"Yo guys," Jake spoke before Trixie could comment. "Let's hurry. We don't want to be left behind."
With a worried look on his face, Jake motioned Spud and Trixie to move. He got in step behind them, when all of a sudden, he felt a tap on his shoulder.
"Young man," croaked an old woman. She had white-hair and a slouched back. Her smile spread from ear to ear and she stared at Jake through wide black eyes. "Could you be so kind as to help me with my heavy bags? I just need to load them onto the cab and then I'll be on my way."
Jake stared into the woman's eyes. He turned to look at his family, but then smiled to the old woman and said, "Sure, but I have to be quick."
"Oh of course, dear. Here you go," the woman pointed her bags to Jake.
With a smile plastered to his face, he carried the woman's bag all the way out and onto the trunk of the cab. Jake helped the woman to settle into the cab before he turned to leave. "Just a moment there, dear. I want to give you this."
"It's okay. There's really no need." The woman ignored him and took Jake's hand, then placed a small brown book on his palm. "What is it?"
"It's a little book filled with stories that I am sure you will find very interesting," the woman winked at him.
Jake tried handing the book back to her, but the old woman had already slammed the door shut, and was waving goodbye to him from the cab.
Flipping open the book, a piece of paper fell out. Jake picked it up and opened the folded piece of paper. It was a map.
A map of China. Well, I suppose that will come in handy. I guess...
Jake placed the map back into the book and stuffed it in his jacket. Suddenly realising that the flight could have left without him, Jake rushed into the airport.
=.=
"Say what? The flight took of? Why?" Jake exclaimed to the person on the counter.
"Well, sir, the flight takes off at nine A.M. It's 9.10 A.M. now. There will be another flight to Hong Kong tomorrow night." She reported.
"Great," Jake smiled. "Hook me up."
She checked her computer, then frowned. "I'm sorry, sir. But the flight is all booked up."
"Aww man."
=.=
Then I remembered that I maybe, sort of, am a dragon. And dragons can fly, can't they?
Standing on the rooftop of the airport, Jake squeezed his eyes shut, trying to change himself into dragon form. "It's not working," Jake grunted when he stared into his human hands. "Oh, dragon up oh. Dragon up, oh," Jake chanted, feeling hopeless.
When Jake opened his shut eyes, he saw a tail. "I did it! Woohoo!" After hopping around, Jake turned to where the plane had took off to. Jake concentrated hard, picturing his dragon self flapping his wings. When he was two feet off the ground, Jake yelled, "I'm flying!"
His eyes were set on the distance, and Jake took off. "Yeah, this is how we do it."
You know, even if I don't know what's going on and even if this is all so hard to believe, flying and touching clouds while feeling the wind in my hair, I actually love he fact that I'm a dragon. It really feels nice to just take flight, and fly away. For once, I'm hoping that I'm not dreaming.
At first, Jake flew in zigzags. Then he ended up flying sideways. In the end, after a long while of flying, he finally got the hang of it. Unfortunately, he caught no sign of the plane. "Yo, am I even heading the right way?" he asked himself.
As if on cue, the clouds moved and Jake saw a plane. "There it is!" he exclaimed. Jake tried flying faster in attempt to catch up to the plane. He tried making sure that it was his plane, so he flew pass the door and checked the windows, trying to look through it to see whether his family was there.
Luck was on his side when he saw Haley sitting next to the window reading a book. "Haley!" Jake exclaimed. Hmm, how do I get in? He wondered. Jake flew to the back of the plane and found a door. "Jackpot. My one way ticket in." Jake tried yanking the door open, but it didn't budge. Staring into the keyhole, Jake took out his hand and looked at his claw. He stuck his little finger in, and turned it, hoping he picked the lock. Jake heard the sound of the lock turning, but all of a sudden, he saw his human hands again.
"Say what? What happened to my dragon?" Jake complained, clinging on to the handle for dear life. Then the door flew open and Jake tumbled in. "Whoa!" he cried as fell face flat onto the floor.
"I'm okay, I'm-in the washroom?" Jake surveyed the area. "Oh well."
Jake pushed open the door and tried to find his family. As he was walking, the planed lunged forward and Jake fell back and landed on a chair. He sighed, "Well, at least I know there is something great about being a dragon."
"Dragon?" a voice chimed beside him.
Oops, no one should know about that!
