Yukiandkyo: Hey guys, I'm here with my first American Dragon fanfic. The idea for this fanfic actually came from a dream I had, the dream wasn't really descriptive but I come up with the idea for this on my own.

Jake: So wait, you got the idea for this entire plot, came from a dream?

Yukiandkyo: Yup, I actually came up with most of the plot in a few days. I already know how I want this to end, but I will probably need help with the middle parts, if anyone wants to help or be my Beta, just PM me, anyways, here's the disclaimer. Yukiandkyo does not own American Dragon: Jake Long or any of its characters. She owns only the plot of this story and any of the OCs she might include in this story. Anyways, enjoy!

I paced back and forth in front of my house, waiting for my friends Trixie and Spud to arrive. My grandpa's birthday was coming up next month and I wanted to get him something this year. I had about $40 and some things to trade if it was too expensive.

I turned when I heard someone running towards me and I saw my friends running towards me. They slowed to a stop and I greeted them both. "Yo Jakie, you ready to go?"

"Yo Trix, I've been ready, I've just been waiting for you two. I was thinking we could head to the Magus Bazaar. If we can't find anything there we can look around the city stores."
"Sounds like a plan, now let's go, we're burning daylight." We headed to the subway and transported to the Magus Bazaar. We all split up and I went to Veronica's stand.

"Hey Jake, what brings you to the Magus Bazaar?" She greeted me and asked as I walked up to her stand.

"Hey Veronica, I'm trying to find a gift for my grandpa's birthday."
"Are you looking for anything specific?"

"Actually, I have no clue what I'm looking for. I was kind of hoping that when I saw it, I would know, do you have any suggestions?" I asked her hopefully.

"Hmm, how about something that he likes? Or maybe something that would have been popular when he was younger."

"So, I should look at antiques?"

"Jake, I'm being serious."

"And so am I, gramps was there for the Great Depression. I mean, its' not like I can walk into a store and be like, 'Hey, you get in anything from the 1940s?' Do you think I can find anything here?"
"Mmm, I'm not sure. I don't really know your grandfather that well, but I'm sure you'll find something eventually."
"Alright, thanks Veronica." I waved goodbye to her and started to look around the Bazaar for a gift I thought would be good for my grandpa.

After about an hour or two I got tired of looking and got Trixie and Spud and headed back to the mundane world.

"Yo Jake, I got to head home already, I promised my Grandma I'd be home early today." Trixie told me as we walked out of the subway station.

"Yeah, I got to go too; my mom wanted me to help her with dinner today."

"Alright, I'm going to keep looking for a bit longer, see you guys later." They split up and I watched them leave before I started walking down the sidewalk.

I looked through a couple store windows but nothing really grabbed my attention. I sighed, ready to head back home and start again tomorrow after school when something made me stop. A light was shining directly in my eye. I squinted and covered my eyes then tried to find the source of the light. I looked around and saw the sun was reflecting off a store window. I made my way over to the store and looked through the window, it was an antique shop. It wouldn't hurt to look inside, right?

I opened the door and a little bell rang. A woman came over to greet me. "Hello, can I help you?"

"I'm looking for something for my grandpa's birthday."
"Is there anything specific you might be looking for?"
"Well, he really likes dragons, so maybe something having to do with dragons."

"Hmm, I don't know if we have anything to do with dragons, let me take a look in the back. You can look around and see if there's anything else you would like." She said as she moved to the back of the store.

"Thanks." I responded as I looked around the shop. It seemed to have quite a bit of antique furniture and vases and other antiques. I saw a vase that looked a lot like my grandpa's antique Ming Dynasty vase, except it had a red Chinese dragon on it. I wondered if my grandpa would like it, even though he already had one with the blue Chinese dragon on it. I picked it up and looked at it; there weren't any cracks or chips.

"I think I might have found something that you will like, come with me." The woman walked back over to me and I put the vase down and followed her to the back of the store.

The back of the store seemed to be filled with more antiques, but these were in worse condition than the ones in the front.

"So where is the thing you were talking about?" I asked, wondering what in this room could be a good gift for gramps.

"It's just down here." She moved a rug, revealing a trapdoor. I hesitated, something about this was definitely wrong. I was about to turn and leave when I caught the scent of something amazing. I lifted my head and flared my nostrils to catch the scent better. I felt myself being drawn towards the scent, it was like the scent had shut down my brain and my body was being pulled to the scent. The woman opened the trap door and I unwillingly walked down the stairs.

I walked down the stairs into what seemed like a cellar, but the scent lead me through a corridor. The corridor seemed to go on for miles and the scent kept leading me forward.

Finally I came to huge clearing, the clearing was about the size of a football field. The scent stopped and my brain snapped back into reality. "What the-? Where the heck am I?"

"This is your home for the next couple of months." I turned to see the woman blocking the entrance of the corridor I just came from.

"Tch, you must be out of your mind if you think you can keep me down here, dragon up!" I shifted to my dragon form and roared at her. I was a little shocked when she didn't even flinch. "Now I don't want to hurt you, but I will if you don't get out of way."

"You won't be hurting anyone, American Dragon." Another voice from behind me said. I heard a noise and felt a net wrap around me. I struggled against it and tried to pull it off but it was draining my power and it forced me back into my human form. I fell to my hands and knees then onto my stomach.

Someone approached me from behind and moved around to where they were in front in front of me I could myself start to black out thanks to the net. "That net is made out of sphinx hair, like we said before, this will be your home for the next couple of months." That was the last thing I heard before I completely blacked out.

Yukiandkyo: So what do you guys think?

Jake: I think you're a maniac, why would you do this to me?

Yukiandkyo: Heh, you should go talk to Yosuke and Jaden, I've put them through a lot more, although I haven't written everything that I want to happen.

Jake: What the heck was the thing that made me go downstairs?

Yukiandkyo: I was going to elaborate a bit on this but I decided that it wasn't really important to the plot. It was going to be called a Dragon Lure. It's like what hunters use to attract male deer, but the scent would come from a creature from a different dimension that actually preyed on dragons. It released a pheromone similar to a dragon in heat. The pheromone shut down the logical part of the dragon's brain and the dragon would follow it, being captured and usually eaten by the creature. The people here found a way to use the scent to lure in and capture dragons, but like I said, it wasn't important. Anyways, love it, hate it, just review it, bye!
