AC: Here's the newest episode. Have fun.
Episode two: Abel's new family
One month after the beginning of the training, Jake and Abel have finally showed some progress. Jake training was martial arts and he finally begins to fight not so bad. Not enough for a real fight against any powerful enemy but enough to fight another ordinary human being. As for Abel, he's finally able to shapeshift into his human form. When Jake look at him he was impress. He was the same size at him. His skin was black as night, his eyes were blue, his hair was purple and he was...not naked. He explains he shapeshift his scales into clothes. He was wearing a black T-Shirt and a Black shorts. He has the appearance of a gothic human but his face was too much expression for that.
"It's not bad." Says LS.
"I finally did it!" Shout happily Abel.
"Good, Now I must continue training you Jake." Says LS.
"AWWW MAN!" Complain Jake. He didn't have real time to see his friends, Spud and Trixie, since he begins his training. Some time, they come visit him at his home but he has to refuse to spend some time with them because of the training. Of course he didn't say that to them, he says he helps his gramps in his shop so he doesn't have much time to spend with them.
"*Sigh* Where's my dragonmaster, he still isn't here and a month already pass. What's stopping him?" Says Abel.
"I don't know. Since you mastered the shapeshifting…you can train with Jake for now. At least you can master the martial arts." Says LS.
"Alright. At least Jake won't suffer alone." Says Abel. LS give him a warning look meaning not to push to far his luck. He then thought: «What's taking my dragonmaster so much time? ».
The day was finish and Jake was too exhausted to return home by himself.
"Need some help?" Asks Abel.
"I think yes. I'm too fatigue to return home by skateboard or by foot." Says Jake.
"I'll take you home…if you want to fly?" Says Abel.
"…As long as you don't let me down…I don't mind." Answer Jake too exhausted to refuse. His grand-father can't conduct a car since he has a little…incident with a police car and he must wait before getting his license back.
"So you wanna me to take you home on my arms or you'll climb my back?" Asks Abel.
"I'll take the arms." Answer Jake. He wasn't sure if he can hold on.
Abel took him on his arms, go to the roof and fly. Jake can feel the wind on his face. The dragon was flying gracefully in the sky over the city so he's not spotted by any undesirable person. Jake like this sensation and he relax a little on the dragon's massif arms.
They were silent until Abel finds Jake home.
"How did you find it?" Asks Jake. He remembers he forgot to tell his house location.
"Your smell is more concentrate here so it was easy to find out where you live." Answers Abel.
"I see." Says Jake. He was now sure he can find him everywhere if he wants.
"Where shall I put you down?" Asks Abel.
"…Here." Says Jake. He point to the side stairs.
Abel looks around before putting Jake down.
"See you tomorrow." Says Abel.
"Yeah…" Answer Jake not excited about this. Then Abel flew to his grand-father shop.
He descends the stairs and walk with difficulty to his home. He then knocks at the door and his father opens it.
"Hi there!" Says Jonathan with a smile.
"Hi dad." Says Jake fatigue.
"Are you alright? Did he makes you work that hard?" Demand his father worried.
"Yes…I do all I can." Says Jake. "Can I ate my supper and sleep right after?"
"Of course Jake. You really need it." Answer his father.
After his supper Jake go to his bed and fall asleep.
The next day:
It was 10 o clocks. Jake was ready to rejoin his grand-father for his training when someone knock at the door.
"Jake, it's your friends Trixie and Spud." Says his mother.
Jake went down and saw his friends.
"Hi Jake. How you're doing?" Ask Trixie.
"I'm fine. What are you doing here?" Asks Jake.
"We didn't see you in the skate park, we thought you were grounded." Says Spud.
"He says he was in his grand-father shop Spud. Are you coming with us today?"
Jake thought for a moment he hesitated to say no. He then says to himself. «I can take a day of vacation. »
"Alright I'll come." Says Jake with a smile. He then follows them to the skate park.
10h30: Lao Shi electronic shop
"He's late!" Says LS a little angry. "I can't believe he's late."
"Maybe he's still asleep, yesterday was a long and tough training." Says Abel.
"He knows I'm very watchful about time when I concern his training. I'm punctual after all and he must also be punctual." Says LS.
"Calm down. I'll go search for him. He can't be far away." Says Abel. He then flew away.
"Be careful." Was all that can say LS.
"He will find him without any problems." Says Fu Dog.
"If he doesn't have a good excuse he'll be in such a training he'll regret being late."
"*glup.*" It was all Fu Dog can answer to that statement.
10h35: In the sky
Abel was flying in the sky, following his nose. He finds his scent and follows it. He then reaches the park and saw, with his great vision, Jake was playing with his friends by doing skateboard with them. Abel decides to land somewhere and he changes into his human form. He watches the time because he only has 2 hours and then he approaches them.
"Hello there." Says Abel.
"Whaaaaa!" Shout Jake by surprise. He lost his balance and fall on his butt. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" He shouts.
"I'm searching you. He is really mad at you." Warn Abel.
"Dammit." Complain Jake. "Why now?"
"Yo Jake, who's the new guy?" Asks Trixie.
"Is he going to replace us?" Ask Spud.
"What?" Says Abel, not understanding his reasoning. "I'm not doing that!"
"So who is he?" Asks again Trixie.
"He's…my cousin Abel." Invent faster Jake.
"Really? You don't have anything in common." Says Trixie.
"Is he adopted by alien?" Asks Spud.
"That doesn't make any sense." Says Abel.
"Do not mind him, he's always like that." Explains Trixie.
"It's because…my mother was an immigrant when she's married with a member of Jake family." Continue Abel with Jake lies.
"Where are you living?" Asks Trixie.
"I live with my grand-father Lao Shi for now." Answer Abel.
"Are you coming to our school after summer break?" Asks Spud.
"…" Jake and Abel look at each other's. Abel smile about the thought and Jake doesn't know what will be his answer.
"Of course I'll be coming to your school, I just need to ask my grand-father about this and I'll try to come." Answer Abel with a smile.
Jake knew he and him are both in trouble when his gramps will know about this.
"Do you know how to do use the skateboard?" Ask Trixie.
"No." Answer Abel.
"Then let us show you." Answer Jake with a small smile.
12h12: Lao Shi electronic shop
Jake and Abel spend a great time with Trixie and Spud. They both reluctantly return to Lao Shi shop because Abel doesn't have time to maintain his human form. Lao Shi was waiting them with an angry looks. They knew they were in big trouble.
"I…I was having problem's loc-." Abel tries to invent an excuse.
"DO NOT LIE TO ME!" Shout LS. "I WAS WAITING FOR ALMOST 2 HOURS…2 HOURS. Tell me the true. Where and what were you doing?" Asks more calmly LS.
"Well…We were having fun with my friends in the skate park." Says Jake.
"No worries…I was in my human form." Adds Abel before LS shout again.
"You were supposed to come and train…both of you."
"I'm sorry but my friends really wanted to see me." Says Jake.
"And you?" Ask LS to Abel.
"Well…I was socialising with Jake friends and we are friends now." He adds with a smile. "And they ask some questions…" Then Abel realise his mistake.
"Question…what questions?" Demand LS.
"Well…nothing-" Tries Abel.
"IT'S IMPORTANT AND I KNOW BY YOUR FACE ABEL." Shout LS blocking any lies or excuses.
"Well…They ask who I was and Jake says I was his…*glup* cousin." He murmurs the last words. "And I say that I live here and…I'll go to school after summer break if it was possible." Then says weakly Abel.
"…" LS say nothing.
"You're in big trouble now." Says Fu Dog.
"Alright, Punishment begins now. We will deal with this later." Says LS. The punishment is beyond description.
2 days later: Jake home
It was morning and Jake was still suffering from his punishment. Abel was also having difficulties…more than him…because he receive a worse punishment than him, Abel was force to clean everything with his tongue…even the bathroom, Abel might be traumatize for life. Jake decides to lie down on the bed for a while.
Someone was knocking at the entrance door. Jake didn't stand up to answer it. It was his father that opens it.
"Hello there." Says Jonathan after he opens the door. "Jake, it's your friends."
"I'm coming…in a moment." Jake hurries to put his clothes.
Meanwhile, Jonathan asks how they were doing.
"Were fine." They both answer.
"I'm here." Says Jake.
"We were wondering if you want to go to the skate park today. Your cousin can come too." Says Trixie.
"Cousin…You have a cousin in town and you didn't warn me about his presence." Says Jake father.
"Well…I forgot.-" Tries Jake.
"Don't worry, I know you were exhausted by your grand-father punishment for being absent that day. Jeez, He's gone too far." Also comment his father. "If he can…he can come here and eat with us tonight. I'm sure he'll like it."
"I'll ask." Answer Jake. "Oh yeah, sorry but we can't today." Turning his attention to Trixie.
"I think we understand." Says Trixie, understanding what happen by Jonathan words.
"Understand what?" Asks Spud.
"Their gramps has punished them hard." Explains Trixie.
"Well, see you another time." Says Spud.
They walk away.
"So…Where does he live?" Asks Jake fathers.
"He lives with our gramps." Says Jake.
"Alright, well, you shouldn't let him wait longer." Says Jonathan.
"See ya." Says Jake.
Lao Shi Electronic shop 10h30
Jake enters the shop and he hears an argument between his gramps and Abel:
"Let me enter in Jake school, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please…"…It wasn't really an argument. Abel continues that way until…
"ENOUGH!" Shout his gramps. "You win. I'll do what must be done and you'll be in that school."
"Thank you." Says Abel with a victory smile.
"*Sigh* I can already see troubles ahead." Says LS.
"Don't worry I'll be careful and I'll drink the potion each days." Tries to calm Abel.
"I know but accident can always happen." Says LS.
"Hi." Finally says Jake.
"Hi. You hear him right?" Asks Abel. Jake nod. "That'll be cool."
"I have something to ask you." Says Jake.
"What is it?" asks Abel.
"My father knows you are my…"cousin" so he asks me to demand if you want to eat in my house for supper."
Abel looks at gramps who nod. It was too late to correct this lie after all so it was better to go with it.
"Of course I can but…after the training…I still have the taste of the toilet in my mouth." Complain Abel remembering the punishment.
"I didn't want to know that." Says Jake. Then they proceed with the training.
18h00 outside of Jake home
They were in front of the house. Abel has drink a dose of the potion so he can stays in his human forms for 24 hours. He was mentally preparing himself for the meeting. He remembers Jake says: His mother is nice; his father is…special and his sister annoying. He notes himself not to say that out loud about the annoying sister.
"You're ready?" Asks Jake.
"I am." Says Abel nervously.
Jake opens the door and they enter in.
"I'm home." Says Jake.
"Welcome back." Says Jake mother. "Hi there." She then gives a smile to Abel. She knows who Abel really is and she acts like Abel is her real nephew.
"Hi Aunt Susan." Says Abel with a smile playing along.
"This is my cousin right." Says an innocent voice.
"Hi Haley." Says Jake.
"…You don't have anything in common with us." Says Haley.
"You're not the first one to say that." Answer Abel with a smile.
"Come at the table, the supper is ready." Says Susan.
They go to the kitchen and sit down in their respective chair, except Susan. Abel wonders which of the last 2 chairs can be him. He was about to use his nose when he remembers he don't have Jonathan odor print in his memories. Jake points him the good chair and he sits.
"Hello there." Says Jake fathers. He then sits on his chair. "So this is you're nephew honey."
"Yes. It's Abel." Says Susan.
"Hi there." Says Abel.
"It's ready." Says Susan.
"Good, I'm hungry." Says Abel.
Susan serves the food and Abel was salivating with pleasure. He remembers to use the implement when he eats.
"So, you intend to join Jake school?" Asks Jonathan.
"Of course! I want to learn anything I can. I love studying at anything…almost of course. Before, I only have home school and I really want to be into a real school." Says Abel with a smile.
"Jake just barely passes at school and he doesn't likes studying." Says Haley.
"Haley!" Warns Jake with a dark look.
"Hahahaha." Laugh Abel. "I guess it's his style. Each of us is unique. I like Jake the way he is." Abel then smile.
"You will have fun in the school; it's your best moment of your life after all." Says Jake father.
"Learning isn't fun." Says Jake.
They finish the supper, talking casually. It was very satisfactory for Abel. He likes Jake family, even Haley. She wasn't annoying like he was expecting…maybe it was because she's Jake sister.
"Come, I'll show you my chamber." Says Jake. Abel follows Jake and they reach his chamber.
"…You should really clean your chamber." Comment Abel. Jake chamber wasn't completely disordered but it indicated it wasn't clean often.
"I like it the way it is." Answer Jake.
"So…I guess I see your chamber."
"Yeah. I think I want to sleep soon. Tomorrow will be a long training after all. I guess I just need to move my bed to his correct position…" Jake then tries to rearrange his bed but it was too heavy…especially after the training, he didn't want to force too much. "Can you help me with this?"
"Of course." Abel then close the door and change into his dragon form when he was sure no one was watching. He then begins to push the bed and when it was in the good position, the door opens:
"So what are you doing Ja-" Haley then stay silent when she saw a Dark dragon. "Wh-" Abel stops her from talking with his tail that covers her mouth.
"Shut." Says Abel. "Don't say anything. If anyone found out I can't come back here. Please calm down."
Haley took a breath with her nose and calm down. Abel then releases Haley. She then look at him and demands explanation. Abel and Jake explain everything and Haley look at them.
"If you want me to keep my mouth shut…You need to do something for me." Says Haley.
"What?" Asks Abel.
"I want a little flight with you." She says.
"…Alright." Accept Abel. "Promise me you won't say anything."
"I promise." Says Haley.
Jake opens the window and Abel wait. Haley climbs on his back and use her arms to hold herself at Abel's neck. Abel then flies to the skies. Haley hairs flew to the sky as she flew on Abel's back. The night was cold so she put her heads on Abel neck and his purple hair. She can feel his heat under her. She knows he wasn't dangerous and he has won her trust. She decides that she'll keep her promise. She didn't want him to go away. They return home to fast for her taste but she knew they don't have much time.
"So?" Asks Abel as he returns to his human form.
"It was awesome. I really like to fly again when you can." Haley says. "Don't worry, I'll keep my promise."
Abel knew she was telling the true this time.
The rest of the time passed without any problem and Abel return home.
The next day: Lao Shi Electronic shop: 13h25
LS learn what happen the last night, but he wasn't angry…completely. He knew Haley won't say anything and he knew they were cautious. They were just unlucky. They hear the door opens.
"Hello there. I'm sorry for being late." Says a voice.
They turn around and saw a fifty year old man.
"Hello there…Where's Abel?" Asks the man.
"Ryu!" Says Lao Shi.
"Yo old man." Says Ryu.
"Who is he?" Asks Jake.
"Me." He then turns into a dragon. He was a long dragon without wing. He has the form of a Japanese dragon (Similar to a Chinese dragon). He was orange like the fruit (Orange.) He has white hair and a long white mustache. He then smiles at them. "I'm the japenesse dragon Ryu. I am Abel dragonmaster."
"I'm happy to see you master." Says Abel. He then respectfully bows to him.
"No need for that. I'm sorry for being late…It's so hard to have good seat in a plane."
"You lose one month for just a seat." Says Jake in disbelief.
"What do you expect?" Says Fu Dog coming in the room. "He's super stubborn about this."
"I see you already mastered the shapshifting." Says Ryu. "Let's begin your training. I shall train you to develop your endurance and your muscles first. We'll begin after I obtain a chamber here."
"Already done." Says LS. "We have time since you are late."
"Let's begin." Says Ryu.
The training was basic: Ryu made Abel running and flying fast and for the longest time possible. He also trains him to develop more his muscles.
Jake training continues the same way.
The rest of the summer passes that way. Training, training and sometime, chilling out with Trixie and Spud.
