Dream Realm and the Next Day

Seth is at the Dream Realm when he gets two unexpected visitors. "Rose? Jake?"

"And, judging by the things I saw here, you're the Huntsboy I've trained for the last years." Rose replies.

"Yes, Huntsgirl." Seth replies and bows to her. "If I may ask, how long have you known Jake is a dragon?"

"Ever since my first Great Equinox Hunt."

"Jake, are you the American Dragon?" Seth asks and Jake confirms. "I don't get it. Back at the store you said your Father doesn't know dragons are real. Why did you say that?"

"Because it's the truth." Jake answers, wondering about why Seth finds it hard to believe.

"My Father said Jonathan Long had known about your Mother being a dragon ever since the both of them were teenagers." Seth explains. "He even figured it out you're the red dragon who interfered back then using the Uchrono Hourglass you and the former Huntsmaster fought for at that baseball stadium."

Jake is now wishing he had stayed at Dragon Slaying 101 long enough to learn the most painful way to slay himself. Jake will so blame himself if Seth turns Haley to his parents or if they find the truth on their own.

"Don't worry, Jake." Seth says. "Your secret is safe with me."

"Seth, by what you told me, your parents probably want you to spy on the Longs." Rose says. "Didn't you have to report this meeting?"

"I told them that, by noticing your birthmark, I figured you're my tutor and, since you've been dating Jake for five years, you'd have known if the Longs were dragons." Seth answers.

"Cool! You protected the secret without having to lie." Jake says.

"I know." Seth replies but then gets worried. "Jake, may I be with you when you tell your sister I'm a slayer? I'd like to explain myself."

"Actually, I was thinking at let you guys know each other a little better before letting her know." Jake replies. "Then you'll have more chances of being accepted at the end."

"Would you do it?" A surprised Seth asks. "You hardly know me. Aren't you afraid I'd betray you?"

"You guys aren't that evil." Jake calmly replies. "Just misguided. You and Rose were lucky to see the error of the Huntsclan way."

"But I don't want to hurt Haley." Seth replies. "She's almost got slain back then."

"Don't worry, Seth. I am the AmDrag and she just helps occasionally." Jake explains.

The next day, Haley meets her friends. "So, this is why you vanish sometimes?" Chad asks.

"Yes, Chad." Haley explains. "Don't you mind I'm a…"

"Haley, you're our friend regardless of whatever you are." Renee replies. "Friends for life, friends forever."

"So, wanna go out with me at Central Park?" Seth asks.

Later, at Canal Street Electronics, we hear a big yelling. "Jake, are you crazy? If your sister is unknowingly dating a slayer we must warn her. Do you have any idea of how dangerous this is?"

"DON'T YOU GIVE ME A LECTURE OF KEEPING SECRETS FROM FELLOW DRAGONS!" Jake angrily replies. "You hid from me about Principal Dercerto being a mermaid and Sun Park being the Korean Dragon."

"There was no danger back then, young one." Lao Shi replies. "Haley must judge by herself if she can trust Seth or not."

"Fine, G." Jake sadly says.

LINE BREAK – Central Park

Seth and Haley are enjoying a chariot ride.

"Wanna see something interesting, Seth?" Haley asks.

"Yes." She then makes a dragon-shaped fire-breathing.

"Haley!" Seth exclaims with worry. "He could have…" He then notices the chariot driver is a leprechaun and the 'horse' is a unicorn.

"And to think we must keep them hidden from most humans." Haley sadly comments. "Specially that Huntsclan."

"Are they all that bad?" Seth asks, fearing for the answer.

"Of course they are." Haley replies. "And Rose is the worst of them since she has been tricking my brother and my Grandfather into thinking she has changed sides. But I have faith someday they'll see her for the cunning and ruthless murderer she is."
