--Liberty Island, 2011 August 31, 9PM--
It was relatively quiet on Liberty Island. Most of the tourists were gone for the day, and because it was summer, the sun was only beginning to set.
“Well, that was a nice picnic. Wasn’t that sunset nice?” asked Jake, lying down on the grass.
“Yeah man, it was great, except for the part where the sunlight reflects off the buildings on Manhattan and shines directly into your eyes,” exclaimed Spud in an increasingly panicked tone, “It BURNS!!! BURNS!!! ARGHHHH!!!!” Spud then ran aimlessly around shielding his eyes with his hands. Trixie, who was still eating a sandwich, rolled her eyes and responded.
“Yeah… the picnic was nice and all, but I STILL don’t get why I spent freaking 12 bucks to get here. Couldn’t we have just done it in Central Park, where it’s FREE???!!! It’s 9 PM so everyone’s gone, and I’m sure we can get back home when all the ferries are closed,” exclaimed Trixie, in an annoyed and sarcastic manner.
“Hey, chill out Trix, a little dragon-ing solves everything. Let’s go,” Jake said lethargically, “Wait… where’s Spud?”
At this moment, a high pitched scream emitted from above and echoed throughout the island.
“ Ooooo… what is THAT boy up to now?” said Trixie, as her eyes searched for Spud.
“Eye of the dragon.” Jake’s eyes transformed into red marbles as he used his night vision to search for the screaming teenager. It took him less than 30 seconds to find Spud… he was hanging off one of the spikes on Liberty’s crown.
“Hey, ummm, I don’t think we had tickets to go up,” remarked Trixie.
“Crap. I’ll get him off… dragon up,” Jake morphed with a ring of fire into the American Dragon, and flew upwards towards the crown. But before he could get up there, a glob of blue and green hit and smashed into him, resulting in Jake becoming a red blob on the floor. As Jake struggled to get up, he caught sight of his attackers.
“Flying mermaids? Since when did mermaids fly? Awww screw it, here we go…” And all hell broke loose.
Meanwhile, Trixie snatched the picnic basket and sneaked around the perimeter of the statue. Suddenly, she caught sight of a lone security guard guarding a door, completely unaware of the situation brewing on the other side of the island. Trixie tip-toed behind him and smacked him on the head with her brand new metal picnic basket. She then stole his pass, opened the door, and began the long trek up the statue.
Back in the air, Jake was in trouble. Five mermaids versus one Jake. After persisting for over five minutes, four mermaids finally caught Jake in mid-air, and held him by his arms and legs. The fifth mermaid laughed chillingly.
“Awww… what a cute dragon,” she said, as she slid an icy finger down Jake’s underside and stopped just below his belly button,
“We’ll see how cute you are when we crush you and the rest of your magical community!” She proceeded to smash open the torch Liberty was holding.
“Screw you freaky mermaid,” Jake declared, as the fifth mermaid took out a glowing orb, “Waaaaat, I thought the thing was electrically powered! You’re gonna pay for this anyway!” Jake struggled to break away, but to no avail.
“Oh be realistic,” exclaimed the mermaid, “We’re mutated so that our scales are reinforced with sphinx hair. Throw this dragon into the harbor and let’s get out of here.” The four other mermaids tossed Jake into the harbor. As Jake was still recovering from his exposure to sphinx hair, he fell unwillingly into the water while the mermaids flew (yes, flew) away with the glowing orb.
At this point and moment, Trixie reached the crown and was reaching her basket futilely out at Spud. Spud tried over and over again to reach the basket but failed. Suddenly, a mass of red grabbed Spud and flew inside the crown.
“Sorry guys,” Jake apologized as he transformed back into human form, “got stuck with a little mermaid problem.”
“Jakie!!!” Trixie pronounced with force, “What are you smoking? Me and Spud (sic) were up here mingling with life and death and you’re worried about some mermaid???!!!” Trixie slapped Jake across the face.
“OWWW!!!” Jake rubbed his face with his palm. “Those mermaids got away with some glowing spherical thing from the torch. And Spud, how did you get up to the statue in the first place?”
“ Oh you didn’t see this?” Spud takes out a rectangular object labeled “Jet Li Pack.” With my awesome kung fu skills from this Jet Li book I found in the library combined with the advanced technology from my own jet pack, I can now fly AND fight at the same time. Allow me to demons…”
“Na’a’a, boy, you are NOT gonna get yourself stuck in mid-air again,” said Trixie.
“Come on guys, we have to get to Gramps… now.” Jake morphed back into a dragon, grabbed Trixie and Spud, and flew back to Manhattan.

“JAKE!!!” yelled Gramps as the three friends slumped through the door, “Urgent assignment! You have to get to Liberty Island to stop a group of…”
“Been there, done that,” said Jake, as he collapsed on the couch.
“You mean you’ve seen the genetically modified mermaids already?” asked Gramps, with eyes wide open.
“Those freaky things were GM? Aww man, and I thought hobgoblins were bad enough. They got away with some glowing object inside the Statue of Liberty…” Jake stared at the floor.
“Aiya!!! 有冇搞錯。點解你… I have to report this to the Dragon Council, and you will go with me after school tomorrow.”
“Crap!!!” Jake exclaimed as he remembered that tomorrow was the first day of school, “Whatever G, I gotta get home now. Trixie, Spud, let’s go.”
“And I have to go home and make my own lasagna for tomorrow,” Spud said.
