The First Prologue: Jake Long
It has been two years since that day. That day when I told her the truth. I am now fifteen and I am still in training. I’ve been debating whether to tell my father about what I am. My mother is thinking about it too… Anyways, the ‘her’ I was talking about was my ex-girlfriend, Rose. I miss her dearly. She switched schools after she found out my secret. No one knows what school she went to. The only thing Rose left behind was a picture of us together, back from our happier days before we found out each other’s secrets.
My grandfather is doing surprisingly well in his old age. He does everything as if he was younger. He has great wisdom that has saved me more than once.
My sister? A pain as always. She is now nine. She has matured somewhat. She is using her dragon powers much better now. My grandfather has taken her in for training. Don’t I feel sorry for her.
Wondering who I am? My name is…
“Jacob!” a voice yelled out to him. Jake sighed. He hated being called Jacob. He put down his pen. “Coming mom,” he said and unlocked his door. He went out. Jake was heading down the stairs when his mom called up, “Never mind.” Jake sighed and went back to his room. He closed the door and locked it.
He walked back over to his journal.
Still wondering who I am? I am Jake Long, the American Dragon!

The Second Prologue: Dave Halan
Dave yawned and turned over in his bed. He was tired from all of the training he had done the previous night and seeing that it was Saturday, he was going to sleep in. But, not unless his grandfather had something to say about it.
“Dave! Get up!” he heard his father yell. Dave yawned again and got up. He walked out of his room and down the stairs. “Yes?” Dave asked. “Your grandfather wants you at his mansion for training in two hours,” Dave’s father said. Dave sighed. His grandfather was a dragon, then his son was one too but didn’t get the ability to transform, then his son, Dave, got the power to transform. Now, he trained every weekday after school in the arts of being a dragon.
“Can’t he just give me the weekends off?” Dave asked. “Not if you want to impress the Dragon Counsel your not,” Dave’s father, Jason said. “And if I don’t?” Dave asked. “You had better be! Your grandfather didn’t move to Japan when he was a young boy for nothing! He went to train! Then he had me and moved back! Here, to this city! Yonkers, New York!” his father finished yelled. (A/N: Yonkers is 17 miles from NYC for those who were curious.)
Dave gave a sigh. “Fine, I’ll go,” he said. He went upstairs and wrote in his journal…
My parents so desperately want for me to join with the Dark Dragon. They see him as all-powerful and all knowing. I see him as nothing but pure evil. I have a secret desire to join forces with the American Dragon and take down the Dark Dragon once and for all!
(A/N: The journals will rarely be used again. They were really just for the prologues.)

Chapter 1: Return Of A Love
Dave walked out of the apartment. “Can he give me a break?” he asked himself angrily. “All I have been doing is school, training, and sleeping!”
“Dave!” a girl called. Dave turned around. “Hey! What are you doing here?” Dave asked the girl happily as she ran up to him and gave him a quick hug. “I came to tell you, I’ve decided to go back to New York City,” the girl said.
“But you just got here two years ago,” Dave said sadly. “I know but…,” the girl stopped. ‘I wonder if he would allow Dave to join,’ she thought. “But,” she picked up from where she left off, “Maybe you can come with me!” “I wish, but Gramps wants me over to his house for training,” Dave said to her. ‘Dave sounds just like him. But, Dave can’t be what he was, could he?’ she thought, thinking of her boyfriend from two years ago. (A/N: You can probably tell by now who the girl is so…)
“Rose, when are you leaving?” Dave asked. “In ten minutes,” Rose said. “I am coming with you.” “But you said that your grandfather needed you.” “I am coming with you instead.” “Great!” Rose said with a smile. ‘Now he has a chance of joining the Huntsclan,’ she thought, her smile getting wider.
TWO DAYS LATER Jake got up and entered the shower. He washed himself and turned off the water. He dried himself off and got dressed just as Haley started banging on the door. “Jake! Get out! I need to use the bathroom!” she yelled. Jake smiled and opened the door and went to his room. He packed up everything in his backpack and grabbed his skateboard that had a dragon symbol on the bottom of it. He went out the door hearing his mom call out, “Bye Jake! Have a good day!” and his father call out, “See you later sport!”
A black car pulled up and Rose and Dave got out, looking at the high school. “I haven’t been here in two years,” she said. “How did you get your father to let you live with me?” Rose asked Dave. “I just asked him and he let me,” Dave said. “Weird,” Rose said. “I guess,” Dave said. “Well, at least I am back,” Rose said cheerfully.
Jake rode up to the school with his two friends, Spud and Trixie. “Do you ever feel like Mr. Rotwood is following grades with us?” Trixie asked. “Not sure, but why are we still taking mythology classes?” Spud asked. All there were silent for a moment. “Well at least I am back,” the heard and saw a blonde haired girl standing with a black haired boy. Jake skidded to a halt. “Rose!” he asked in shock but Rose didn’t hear or see Jake and she entered the school with Dave.

Chapter 2: Facing The Past
Dave and Rose walked up to the office to make sure the registration process went through well and that they were officially students of the school. They opened the office door and they were ushered into the principle’s office. “Rose? I haven’t seen you in such a long time,” the principle said as Dave closed the door. Dave and Rose sat down. “So, are we in this school just fine or what?” Dave asked. “Ah yes, let’s see,” the principle said, opening a file.
Jake and his two friends walked into the school. Jake felt like he was so weak and that he could faint at any minute. His old love, Rose was back, and to top it all, he realized he still had feelings for her. Jake saw the pair enter the office and Jake sighed. “Yo Jake, just so you know if you’ve forgotten, that is your enemy,” Trixie said.
Jake sighed again, “But I still have feelings for her,” he said. “Jake, you have to move on. Stop living in the past,” Spud said. Trixie looked at him. “Tell me that you just did not come up with that by yourself,” she said. “Actually, I did,” Spud admitted. “Well, keep doing that and you will be doing good boy!” Trixie said with a little excitement. “What should I do about it though? I mean, I love her and all that but we are enemies in our other forms and we know who each other is. How can we fight each other knowing that?” Jake asked.
Rose and Dave came out of the office in time to hear what Jake said. Rose walked up behind Jake and put a hand on his shoulder. “We will do what needs to be done,” Rose said as Jake jumped. “R..R..Ro…Rose,” Jake stuttered. “I know that you are shocked to see me as we both know what we are,” she said softly. Jake gave a small nod as Rose walked off with Dave.

Chapter 3: Haley
Haley sat in the kitchen after Jake left. She had the day off and was hoping that she wouldn’t have to spend the day in training. Haley heard knocking at the door and her mom went and opened the door. “Haley!” she heard her mom call out to her gently.
Haley got out of the chair and went to see who was at the door. Standing in the doorway was her grandfather. “Hello young one,” he said. “Hi gramps,” she said politely, not wanting to anger him. “I came to tell you that your training will be at the same time as Jake’s today,” Haley’s grandfather said. “Really!” Haley asked excitedly. She had always wanted to train with Jake.
“Yes, young one. You can train with your brother,” her grandfather said with a small smile. “Thank you!” Haley said happily. “No problem,” he replied with a smile. “Dad, won’t you be joining us for lunch?” Haley’s mom asked. “No thank you dear. I have to get back to the shop. Haley, don’t forget your lesson,” Haley’s grandfather said before turning and leaving.
Haley went to her room in excitement. “I can’t wait for him to train me with Jake!” she said excitedly. “Haley! Come on down for lunch!” she heard her mother call out. She went downstairs and into the kitchen. She sat down and ate her sandwich and then sat in the living room watching television with her mother. She then heard someone coming into the door. She ran out to see it was Jake. “Jake!” Haley said happily.
(A/N: I am working way ahead on this fanfic on paper and I need help. Can anyone give me the name of all five consolers? I only have Andam (something around there lol) and Chang. Thanks for the help.)

Chapter 4: Unusual School Day
Jake, Spud, and Trixie entered Professor Rotwood’s class. They saw down at a table together in the very back. Professor Rotwood came into the class and picked up his ruler. “Open your books to page 47 now!” he yelled, slamming the ruler on the table in front of him, making several students jump.
A knock was then heard on the closed door. Rotwood opened it to see Dave standing there. “I am sorry that I am late,” Dave said handing Rotwood a note. “Very well,” Rotwood said after reading the note, “Take a seat.” Dave looked around.
“Yo, isn’t that the guy that was with Rose?” Trixie asked. “Yeah. I want to know more about him,” Jake said, motioning Dave over. Dave saw the signal and nodded, taking the only free seat next to Spud. Rotwood came over and laid a textbook next to Dave. “What are you all waiting for!” Rotwood asked angrily when he was at the front of the class.
Everyone turned to page 47 to see it was a chapter about dragons. Jake looked at Spud and Trixie nervously. His suspicions of Dave rose when he could have sworn Dave’s face suddenly looked a little more pail than it did a few moments ago.
Rotwood then started walking around handing a sheet of paper to everyone. Rotwood gave Dave one and then continued and Jake heard Dave gasp. ‘The American Dragon!’ Dave thought in slight shock. When Jake got the paper, he saw that it was him in his dragon form!
“Yo! This is whack!” Jake said angrily to Spud and Trixie, hoping Dave didn’t hear him. “The American Dragon!” he heard Dave said. Dave then raised his hand.
“Yes, Mr. Halan?” Rotwood asked. “When and where was this picture taken?” he asked. “A few days ago right here in this city,” Rotwood answered.
Dave got out his notebook and started to write in it quickly. “Trixie, tell Spud to see what he is writing about,” Jake said. Trixie passed on the message and Spud look. On the top of it, it said, ‘Find the American Dragon to help.’ Spud passed on this message and Jake looked at Dave. ‘I will have to talk to him to find out what he wants with me,’ Jake thought.
(A/N: I really need the consolers names, I am working on this fanfic on paper as well and I have finished Chapter 11 and I can’t write chapter 12 without the names so if you know please let me know somehow as soon as possible. Thanks again.)

lol, sorry...well, here I will give you one now..then you will have to wait because the other chapters are on paper and I have to type them up...sorry for that lol ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 5: Another Dragon
Jake and Dave met each other at the door of the school after the last bell of the day rang. “So, what do you need Jake?” Dave asked. “I want to talk to you privately in an alleyway if you don’t mind,” Jake said. Dave nodded and followed Jake.
“What is your interest in the American Dragon?” Jake asked Dave when they were alone. “I don’t know what you are talking about,” Dave lied. “Don’t try to fool me. You were shocked by the chapter on dragons, you gasped at the picture, you were writing about the Am Drag in that notebook!” Jake said. “What is it to you?” Dave asked.
“I want to know why you are obsessed with this dragon!” Jake asked getting frustrated at Dave. “Wait a minute,” Dave said looking closely at Jake. “What is it?” Jake asked. “You’re…,” Dave started before hearing someone coming. “Dave are you down here/” he heard Rose ask. “Hide!” Dave exclaimed and Jake nodded and hid inside a box sitting next to the wall.
Rose found Dave. She was in her Huntsgirl uniform. “Dave, here you are,” she said. “Thorn, what are you doing here?” Dave asked. “Looking for you. The Huntsmaster wants you,” she replied. “Go on ahead without me, I will be right there,” Dave said. Thorn nodded and left. Jake climbed out of the box. “So, you are with the Huntsclan,” he said bitterly.
“I am just using them to find the American Dragon, or should I say you,” Dave said. Jake starred at Dave. “What did you just say I was?” Jake asked. “You are the American Dragon. I saw you at the Isle Of Draco that day,” Dave said, “When you fought those Brownies. I watched you. I left the Isle at the very beginning of the third competition so I didn’t see you much then.” Jake looked at Dave. “So that means you are also a dragon,” Jake said. “Yes, I am a dragon as well,” Dave replied.
“Why didn’t you tell me that to start with?” Jake asked. “Because I didn’t know who you really were until I took a closer look and because I don’t normally go around telling strangers that I am a dragon,” Dave said. “Well, you obviously know me. Jake Long,” Jake said, holding out his hand. Dave took it. “Dave Halan,” Dave said as they shook hands.
“Well Dave, let’s head to my apartment to check with my grandfather,” Jake said. “Let’s go,” Dave said, relieved that he had finally found the American Dragon.

Chapter 6: Meeting Haley and Partners In Training
Jake and Dave chatted until they got to Jake’s house. They went into the house and they heard a girl yell out, “Jake!” Dave saw the girl running up to them. “Dave, this is my sister, Haley,” Jake said. “Hello Haley,” Dave said. “Haley, Dave is one of us,” Jake said. “Really?” Haley asked. “Yes, I am,” Dave said.
“Oh, Jake. Guess what?” Haley said to Jake. “What is it Haley?” Jake asked. “Gramps stopped by. He said I am training with you now,” Haley told him. “Say what!” Jake exclaimed. “Yep, I get to train with you now,” Haley said happily. Jake gave a small groan. “Come on, let’s head to G’s place,” Jake said. “Are you sure I can come?” Dave asked. “Yes, of course you may,” Jake told him. “Thank you,” Dave said with a smile as they left.
They walked for a bit then come upon the electronic store which was also an apartment. “Gramps?” Haley called out. “Hello?” Dave asked as they walked around saying nothing. “Sir, are you here?” Dave called out.
The three of them met in the middle of the shop. “Let’s split up and look for G,” Jake said. “All right, I’ll take the roof,” Dave said. “I think that is where he will be. Let’s all three of us go and look,” Haley said. “Might as well,” Jake said.
They went up the stairs to the roof. Dave could of sworn he heard, “Hubba, Hubba.” Dave wondered if what he heard was real or not. They opened the door to the room. Dave then knew what he heard was real when he heard, “Is a hula that you do…,” An old man in a bluish robe was dancing and singing.
“Yo, G!” Jake called out. The man stopped, “Jake! Haley!” he said. “Gramps this is Dave,” Haley said. “Sir? You are Jake’s master right?” Dave asked. The man glared at Dave. “Yes, why? Who are you?” he asked. “I am Dave. I am a dragon as well,” he said, bowing. “Can I help you?” the old man asked. “May I talk to you?” Dave asked. “Yes. Jake, Haley, leave us,” the man said and they left. When it was just the two of them on the roof, Dave told the man his story.
Thirty minutes later, Dave came down with the man. “Thank you Master Laoshi,” Dave said. “Three students at one. It will take a lot of debate to get them to let me train you officially, but as of now, you train with me,” Laoshi said.
Dave walked up to Jake and Haley. “Looks like we are partners in training,” he said. “I can’t wait,” Haley said. “It will be nice to train with a friend!” Jake said. “Sounds great,” Dave said smiling.

Chapter 7: Welcome To The Group “He said he would be coming shortly master,” Thorn said. “Excellent. I am going to let you two work together if you so wish,” her master said. “I do,” she said. “Very well, you can both help each other become full members of the Huntsclan together,” he said. “Very well master,” she said.
Around seven, Dave walked out of the shop. Training was still going on but he promised Rose that he would met her about three hours ago. He ran until he got to the meeting place. He walked inside to hear, “You’re late.” Dave slightly jumped in surprise. He then sighed and went down some stairs. “Sorry master. Some things came up,” Dave said. “Well, don’t let it happen again,” Huntsmaster said.
Dave reached the group to see Rose without her uniform on. “What is going on?” Dave asked. “We are celebrating a special occasion tonight,” Rose said. “What would that be?” Dave asked, a little nervous. “You joining the Huntsclan officially!” Rose said happily. “That is why you didn’t want me to be late,” Dave said. “Exactly,” Huntsmaster said.
Laoshi looked around the shop. “Where is Dave?” he asked out loud. He waited for an answer but when he didn’t get one, he asked again. “Where is Dave!” he yelled out. “I thought he was with you,” Haley and Jake said at the same time. “Dave!” Laoshi yelled in anger.
“To Dave! The newest member of the Huntsclan!” Huntsman said. “To Dave!” everyone called out and took a drink. Naturally, Rose and Dave had non-alcoholic drinks. “To the Huntsclan!” Dave called out. “To the Huntsclan!” everyone yelled out merrily and took a deep drink.
They partied a while longer. Everyone laughed and traded stories. They had fun for the first time in a while.
Jake and Laoshi were traveling to where they thought the Huntsclan were at. “Shouldn’t we wait for Dave?” Jake asked. “No, he was left behind because he left early. It is his own fault,” Laoshi said. “Wait for me!” Haley called out. “Haley,” Jake said with a sigh. “I told you to stay behind. This could be dangerous.” “But, I wanted to come,” Haley protested.
“Fine, but you have to fight with us,” Jake told her. They continued to travel until they reached the hideout. “To slaying dragons!” they heard a familiar voice yell. “To slaying dragons!” they heard a lot of people yell. They opened the door to see Dave and the other members of the Clan having fun. “Dave!” Laoshi yelled when he transformed to his dragon form.
Dave turned around at hearing his name yelled. “Laoshi,” Dave said in a shocked tone, seeing Laoshi, Jake, and Haley in their dragon forms.
