Telling Haley

Jake and Rose pay Seth another visit at the Dream Realm. "Hi, Jake. Hi, Rose. What do I owe the visit?"

"Seth, I have bad news." Jake replies. "Gramps doesn't like the idea of hiding from Haley that one of her friends is a dragon slayer."

"How did she react?" Seth sadly asks.

"She doesn't know yet." Jake answers. "I've convinced Gramps to let you tell. You have until tomorrow."

"Could I have Haley, Chad and Renee at Canal Street Electronics so I could tell all of them at once?" Seth asks. "I'd like not having to tell more than once."

"You call them, Seth." Rose replies. "Jake and I will be there for support."

LINE BREAK – Canal Street Electronics

Seth is surprised that, besides the people who he already expected to meet, he also saw his Home Economics teacher and Mrs. Long. "Jake, why is Ms. Park here?" The young hunter asks.

"Please, 'Ms. Park' is too formal." Sun Park replies. "You may call me Sun. and I'm here because I'm Haley's dragon master and the Korean Dragon."

"And you don't mind Rose knowing it?" Seth asks, hoping she doesn't.

"No, I don't."

"I'm glad to hear it." Seth says with a serious tone. "People, I have a secret to tell." He then rolls up his left sleeve to reveal, right below the shoulder, a dragon-shaped birthmark.

"No! No! Noooo!" Haley cries. "Please tell me this is some sick joke! Seth, you can't be a dragonslayer. They're merciless murderers and you're so nice! Or are you just faking like her?"

"Haley, it was not my fault." Seth pleads. "I never wanted…"

"Don't talk to my daughter, you monster!" Susan demands.

"Mom, he doesn't hate…"

"Don't 'Mom' me, Jake." Susan sternly replies. "It must be this other slayer's fault you became so trusting. They must have planned this for years. I hope the Dragon Council puts both slayers behind bars for the rest of their lives."

"Mom, I'm scared."

"Don't worry, Haley." Susan replies. "I won't let them hurt you."

"Susan, Seth didn't turn Haley to his parents despite the fact they've already suspected our family." Lao Shi says.

"How so?" Susan asks and Lao Shi explains the final consequences of Jake's time travel. Susan is now even angrier. "This must be a conspiracy. I bet these slayers always knew about Jake and planned to have spies to pretend to love Jake and Haley."

"Mrs. Long, have you never been told about the love cruise fiasco?" Rose asks.

"What happened then?" Susan asks, still not trusting Rose. Lao Shi then explains about Cupid's arrows. "Jacob Luke Long, what were you thinking? Even slayers don't deserve this!"

"I don't get it." Chad says. "Shouldn't Cupid let nature follow its course instead of using those arrows?"

"I don't care." Haley answers. "Bring me those arrows to test Seth's feelings."

"Are you crazy?" Renee asks. "What if Seth really loves you and the arrow makes him want to slay you for real?"

"Fine, but I won't trust him." Haley replies.

"Don't worry, Seth. There was a time when I avoided staying near Rose." Jake says and then notices Rose. "Sorry, dear."

"It's okay, Jake." Rose replies. "I understand you fearing me."

"Jake, I can't make you understand how dangerous these murderers really are but I can at least keep Haley safe." Susan says. "I'll send her to that prep school even if I have to tell Jonathan about the fact we're dragons and he leaves us. At least Haley will be safe."

"Susan, you're overreacting." Sun Park says.

"Sun, aren't you worried one of your students is a slayer?" Susan asks.

"Not at all." Sun answers. "Seth is a nice kid and he has proven himself by not turning us in."

"Fine but I won't allow that slayer at my home." Susan sternly replies.

"Not a chance, Mrs. Long." Seth calmly replies. "My parents are planning on combining a dinner together with Mr. Long."

"I'll warn Jonathan about you people." Susan replies.

"Okay." Seth says.
