It was a beautiful day in New York city, the sun was shining and the birds were singing. Unfortunately for Jake Long, he was stuck in Rotwoods class in school.

"Now, turn to page 147 in my brilliant, yet unpublished, book called mythical creatures among us." said Rotwood to the class.

Jake opened his textbook but then turned to Trixie and spud and asked, "you guys want to hit the Skate Park after school?"

"Sure Jakie" said Trixie,

"You always know I am up to a skate" said Spud.

A couple minutes into the textbook, Jake started getting bored and decided to do some doodling in his notebook.

"Mr. Long!" yelled Rotwood, yanking Jake out of his doodling's. "Care to tell us what we were talking about?"

Caught off guard Jake replied,"ummmm, how big pixies are?" guessed Jake.

"WRONG!" shouted Rotwood, "For your information, we were talking about how dragons can hide among humans by turning into human form at will." Jake tried not to look startled when Rotwood looked at him with an evil look in his eyes. "To continue" Rotwood said while walking to his desk, "I believe that dragons have the remarkable ability to disguise themselves as a human, allowing them to hide." Rotwood now reached his desk and opened a drawer," It is also believed that they can be unveiled using modern chemistry." Rotwood reached into his desk and pulled out a vial of blue liquid. "Brokium, the only known substance that can force a dragon into his true form, recently liberated from a former principal. I believe there is a dragon in this class, and I will now expose you!" Rotwood walked towards Jakes general area. Just then, the bell rang and everyone ran out of the classroom. "ummm, ok. Tomorrow then," Rotwood said to the empty classroom.

Outside the classroom, Jake, Spud and Trixie walked away to talk.

"Jake, you have to be really careful around Rotwood," said Spud, "He now has the means to blow your cover, and if it wasn't for the bell, He would have got you!"

"Guys, chill, said Jake quickly, "I'll ask Gramps for a potion or something. But if we don't get going soon, we'll be late for science." With that, the trio went to their next class.

After school ended, Jake walked into the shop and said," G, we have a problem". Laushi looked at him with a puzzled expression. Jake quickly recapped what happened at school and how Rotwood planned to use Brokium on him to expose him as a dragon.

Laoshi, now looking agitated said, "We have to get it away from him, the safety of everything magical is at stake! You have to get it away from him!" Jake sighed, he knew it would be very difficult to do.

Luckily for Jake, Fu just walked into the room,

"Kid, I might just have a little something that could help you out, Follow me".

Jake followed Fu into the backroom where everything magical was kept.

"Let's see, warlock hair, a little goblin snot, wart of frog, and a pinch of pixie dust." A pink magical puff escaped the caldron. "Presto, one danger sense potion. Basically gives you a sort of Spidey sense. Tells you where traps are so you can avoid them. It only lasts half an hour though, so don't waste it, because that was my last wart of frog."

Thanking Fu, Jake walked out of the shop and headed for home.

The next day, as Jake walked into the classroom, he noticed that Rotwood had left the vial sticking out from under a pile of papers. Jake reached out to grab it, but decided against it because it would cause unwanted attention. Reluctantly, Jake sat down in his desk and prepared for the upcoming class. About halfway through class, Jake got bored and decided to do some doodling. Just as he finished his last line, a ruler slammed down onto his desk. Jake looked up at Rotwood.

"Hmm, drawing in class… again I might add. This will mean detention for you, Mr. Long." "But…" Jake started to protest. "No buts, after class. I will excuse you from science." With a satisfied smirk, Rotwood went back to teaching.

"Aww man" said Jake.

When the bell rang signaling the end of class, Jake got his stuff and tried to leave and skip the detention. Unfortunately for Jake, Rotwood stopped him saying, "Going somewhere? Unless I am mistaken, you have detention with me. Or did you forget?" Jake gave him a venomous glare, but sat down in his desk. "You should really pay more attention in my class, you might need it considering your… particular carrier choice?"

Jake, now feeling nervous, wished he had time to drink the potion Fu gave him. "Now" said rotwood, waking Jake from his train of thoughts, "What to do for your detention? I think my knowledge might need a little update. How about a one page essay describing everything about dragons. You should have no problem with that." With that, Rotwood left the room.

Jake, grumbling, grabbed a sheet of paper and started writing, telling some half-truths, and some whole truths. About halfway through the page, Jake got a very strong feeling that something was wrong. Taking a quick glance around to make sure no one was looking, took out the potion that Fu gave him and drank it. As soon as the last drop of the lemon tasting potion was swallowed, Jake knew something was coming from the doorway. Turning around, Jake saw a figure in the door throwing a net at him. Jake held up his hands to try and block it, but it was too late. Darkness took over his vision.
