Chapter 1 What To Do

As Rose walked to school the next morning, she couldn't stop thinking about the night before. She had missed the bus, but she didn't care. She liked to walk, and she needed time to do some thinking, anyways.

"Last night sure was interesting.." she murmured to nobody in particular.

She shuddered, remembering that she had almost killled Jake, willingly.

FLASHBACK

Huntsgirl walks over to Jake, who is caged and chained up.

"Just think, dragon -she grins- In less than an hour, you'll be put out of your misery, and I'll fulfill my destiny! This is a win-win for both of us!"

END FLASHBACK

Rose remembered how shocked she had been to learn that Jake, the one she loved was her most hated enemy, the American Dragon.

FLASHBACK

Jake sighs and looks Rose in the eye.

"C'mon! You wouldn't hurt a face like this!" he taunts.

Huntsgirl raises her staff to his neck.

"Why wouldn't I?" she replies.

Jake looks at her cooly.

"Because, you have a crush on me."

Huntsgirl lowers the staff.

"WHAT!"

Jake detransforms into his human form, and says, "How do ya like me now,Rose?"

Huntsgirl's eyes widen and she gasps.

"The dragon...Jake...? Is that really you?" She asks, confused.

"The one and only, Rose." Jake replies.

END FLASHBACK

Rose chuckled, remembering his reaction when she still wouldn't let him go.

FLASHBACK

"Wait a second!" Rose yells, "That's why you dumped me! You found out my secret!"

"That's right..." Jake replies and after a quick pause, says, "You gonna let me go now?"

Rose sighs.

'I wish I could...' she thought silently.

"No." she tells Jake.

Jake sighs. "Aww man...!"

END FLASHBACK

Rose still felt sad that she was Huntsgirl. She couldn't believe that she had been through so much with Jake, and not know it!

"Try to forget about it, she told herself, that was last night, and this is today. You and Jake are going to talk things over, and decide your fate today. Try not to worry..."

FLASHBACK

Jake sighs.

"Face it, Jake. he mumbles to himself, The only way you're ever going to get out of here, is if Rose had a sudden change of heart, and sets you free...I seriously doubt it..."

Rose walks over to Jake's cage and unlocks it. She begins working on unchaining him.

"So expect the unexpected, Jake." she answers soflty.

Jake looks very confused.

"Say wha? I thought you hated me.."

Rose grins at him mischieviously.

"Well, now I never got to know the real you either, did I?"

Jake sighs.

"But we're enemies, what will your uncle say when he finds out I'm gone-"

Rose puts a finger on his lips and hushes him.

"Shh! That's not important right now. What's important, is that you get out of here, while you still can. I really don't want to hurt you, Jake because I really like you...hurting you is the last thing I'd wanna do."

Jake blushes.

"I, uh, really like you too..."

Rose smiles at him

"As for the other things...we can discuss those in school, tomorrow..."

END FLASHBACK

Rose finally got to school and once inside, she scanned the halls for Jake Long. It didn't take long for her to spot him talking to Trixie and Spud. It was hard to miss his red jacket, and green highlighted hair. She ran over to him.

"Hi, Jake!" she said with a grin.

Jake said good-bye to Trixie and Spud, and turned to Rose.

"Hey, Rose!" he replied. "How come you weren't on the bus this morning? I saved you a seat.."

"Oh, sorry, Rose replied, I slept in and when I woke up, the bus was already there, so I decided to walk.."

Jake smiled at her.

"That's OK. I do that on the weekends and I get in trouble by 'G, bcause it always makes me late for training."

Then he looked around to make sure nobody was around.

"Uh...thanks again for what you did last night."

Rose blushed.

"Well, like I said last night, I couldn't go through with it, once I knew you were -she dropped her voice to a soft whisper- the American Dragon..."

Jake smiled at her.

"Well, I owe you one..."

Rose laughed.

"No you don't! That beautiful flight by the moon was more than enough to say thank you!"

Jake chuckled.

"If you say so..."

He shrugged.

Rose cleared her throat.

"Um, listen...I really don't want to fight you anymore, and I'm willing to take a million beatings from my uncle everytime I refuse!"

Jake growled and clenched his fists.

"You just leave that Hunts-punk to the M-drag! I'll give him a left, and a right and another left and another right!"

He punched the air and accidently punched himself in the face, knocking himself into his locker.

"Owch!"

Rose ran over to him and helped him up.

"Ohmigosh! Jake? Jake! Are you OK?"

Jake laughed, and smiled at her.

"I am now.."

Rose smiled then sighed.

"Jake, I know you want to protect me and it means the world to me that you would even after all I've put you through..."

"But...?" Jake finished for her.

Rose sighed again.

"But...My Uncle is so powerful, and you're a great dragon, but you're not skilled enough to beat him yet..!"

Jake looked down at the ground.

"I've gotta try...I won't let him hurt you anymore!"

"Jake! Please! I don't want you to get hurt!" Rose replied, tears in her eyes.

Jake opened his mouth to say something else, but he paused, seeing Rose's tears. He put on arm on her shoulder, trying to soothe her.

"I know he'd probably beat me, but I don't want him hurting you anymore..."

At that moment, tears began spilling down Rose's cheeks. She turned her face away so he wouldn't see her cry.

Jake held Rose's chin so that she was facing him and wiped her tears away.

"Ok..." he said after a quick pause. He looked deep into her cerulean blue eyes. "I won't try to defeat your Uncle, until I master my dragon training, but if he hurts you again, I'm gonna have to insist on finding you a new place to live...Deal?"

Rose's tears disappeared, as she gave him the warm smile that had won him over since the first day they'd met.

"Deal..." she replied.

Jake smiled.

"Good."

Rose closed her eyes for a minute, thinking hard. She squinted her eyes and for a minute, Jake thought she might cry again. But she didn't. She opened her eyes after a few minutes, and looked at Jake, a warm, friendly smile on her face.

"Jake, she began, I promise never to fight you again...I swear.."

Jake's face gave way to a big smile as he replied, "Same here...I promise!"

Rose, feeling happier than she had in days, wrapped her arms around Jake in a big hug. Jake smiled and hugged her back, blushing slightly.

After a few minutes, the school bell started ringing, signaling everyone to go to class.

Jake sighed. He didn't want this moment to end, but he knew if he was late, he'd get detention, and then his Grandpa would be furious because he'd have to miss dragon training.

He pulled away from Rose.

"Uh...I'd better get to-

He didn't get to finish his sentence because Rose kissed his cheek.

Jake smiled at her.

"Now, what was that for?" he teased.

Rose returned the smile.

"Well, you know, for...everything..."

Jake bushed and grinned at her.

"Then I should return the favor..." he said, and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

A few minutes passed by, and neither Jake or Rose said anything. They just stared at each other with goofy grins on their faces.

Finally, Jake said, "Um...It's kinda funny that we both liked and hated each other without knowing it, huh...?"

Rose frowned at him.

"Oh yeah...wait! I didn't like you!"

Jake looked surprised, but he quickly recovered.

"Oh.." he said, unable to hide the disappointed sound in his voice.

Rose stared him in the eye.

"Jake Long, I loved you!"

Jake blushed and looked at his locker door.

Rose laughed and smiled at him.

"Now, where were we?"

Just then, the warning bell for class went off. Jake turned to Rose.

"I think we were at the part where we were gonna be late for class..."

Rose gasped and looked at her watch. They were definetly late!

'Mr. Rotwood's gonna kill us!' she thought.

" Good point!" she replied, "Let's go before Rotwood gives us a whole year's worth of detention!"

Jake laughed, and hand in hand, the two of them ran off to class.
