" He's going to get the memory book." said Jake. Haley groaned as well when she heard that and Professor Rotwood arched an eyebrow. " What's the memory book?" asked Brad as he stepped further into the room to stand next to his former teacher. " You'll find out soon enough." said Haley. Three minutes later, Lao Shi flew back in and landed on the floor. There was a book clutched in his claws and he shifted down into his human form. He set it on the floor and flipped open to the page he wanted. " Though I know you apologized and negated any suspicion, there still might be a chance that a student heard who wasn't supposed to." said Lao Shi.
Suddenly a magical bubble popped up above the book and Jake watched his painful, but numerous, encounters with the Huntsclan. Haley and the rest watched as well, shocked that he managed to make it out alive. After Lao Shi was satisfied with what they'd all seen, he gently closed the book. " Now, do you understand the danger you unknowingly put him in?" asked Lao Shi. " Yes, I'm sorry. I didn't know there were dragon slayers." whispered Professor Rotwood. " You believe in magical creatures, dragon slayers shouldn't be that much more of a stretch." said Lao Shi.
" Its not a stretch. Can I see your human forms?" asked Professor Rotwood. Haley and Jake shifted back into their human forms. Brad held in a snicker as he saw Haley and Jake chuckled. " I know what your thinking, she's too small to be much of a dragon. But she can hold her own just fine." said Jake. " Looking at either form, you wouldn't believe that." said Brad. " Very true, but she is very skilled." said Lao Shi. " You have to say that, I'm your granddaughter." said Haley. " No he doesn't Haley. Put the family aside for a second and see it through an experienced dragon's eyes. If he were your dragon master, he could say you were horrible. When it comes to dragon stuff, put the family on the back burner because it truly doesn't matter." said Jake.
" You've become very wise Young Dragon. I'm proud to be your master." said Lao Shi. Haley's head went down and Jake turned to her. " You know, we could ask the council if he could be your dragon master." said Jake. " But they have this thing about family not training family. They'd never allow it." said Haley. " True, but if Gramps hadn't trained me, I wouldn't have been prepared for the three times I faced the dark dragon. You need a dragon master that's willing to teach you everything they know and your not getting that with Sun. If I need to, I will step in as the American Dragon as this is a dragon problem. How can you tap into your full potential as a dragon if you have a master who's not willing to help you?" asked Jake. " Thanks Jake." said Haley as she sprouted pink wings and flew up to him, giving him a hug.
" Anytime. Now, what do you say we see if we can beat Gramps back to his shop?" asked Jake as he let her go and shifted into his dragon form. " Sure, we probably won't win, but at least I can work on my flying." said Haley. Lao Shi nodded and he too transformed before picking up the book. " We better see you at least once in a while Long." said Brad. " You will. Who knows, I might be the monster under your bed." said Jake with a smirk. Lao Shi gave him a look and Jake chuckled.
" I was kidding." said Jake. " I know you Young Dragon, enough to know you weren't kidding." said Lao Shi. Haley snickered and Jake rolled his eyes. He darted out the window and the other two fallowed. " I got very lucky." said Haley.
" Why?" asked Lao Shi. " Because I get to share being a dragon with the two people that matter the most in my life." said Haley. " Thank you Little Dragon." said Lao Shi. " Yeah, no matter how much we fight, you'll always be my little sister." said Jake. Haley grinned and nodded. She already knew that about him, but every once in a while, she needed a reminder about just how much she was loved by her big brother. " Oh, we really need to find another name for our bond." said Jake. " Why?" asked Haley. " Because, if we don't, other dragons who haven't bonded or ignored the connection, will think we mated. That would be very awkward." said Jake. " What about, The Guardian Bond? He looks after you like a parent, but he's not overbearing like a mother. He'll stand by you when you need help, but at the same time, he'll rebuke you when necessary. He's like a guardian." said Haley. " I like that." said Jake. " I too like that name Little Dragon." said Lao Shi. Their lives as dragons were hectic, Jake's more so then anybody else's. But now he had someone to go to when it became too much. Someone who'd sit down and listen, or hug him when needed. Someone who he could go to if he had a fight with his parents. Now, he had a guardian.
