I tried for another Jake/Rose love chapter again though it is short... ----------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 18: Revealing More Secrets
Jake and Rose woke up the next morning and kissed each other passionately. When they released the kiss a few moments later, Rose put her head on Jake’s shoulder. “So, I am a dragon,” she said softly. “Yes. And don’t you mean a beautiful, pregnant dragon?” Jake asked with a smile. Rose picked her head up and stared into Jake’s eyes.
“Yes that is what I meant. And I forgot to mention that I fell in love with and got pregnant by a sexy dragon. The sexy dragon of my dreams in fact,’ Rose said to him. Jake smiled and they kissed passionately again for a few minutes. When they stopped, Rose looked in Jake’s eyes and snuggled closely to him and said, “Will you teach me how to become a dragon and how to be one?” “Yes, I will. I will do my best to teach you. We will be dragons together,” Jake said. Rose smiled and hugged him “I am glad to hear that. I can’t wait to be a dragon,” she said. “It is the best thing in the world to be other than being in love with you,” Jake said. “I love you Jake,” Rose said to him. Jake wrapped his arms around Rose and they kissed once again. They went on longer this time and thoughts of being a dragon went through Rose’s mind.
They finally got out of bed ten minutes later. They grabbed some robes that they put up on the wall for them to wear when they got out of bed. They put the robes on and left the room. They walked downstairs and went into the kitchen. They made some eggs, bacon, and toast for breakfast. Laoshi came out from his room a little while later with Fu right behind him. They sat down and ate breakfast with Jake and Rose. “Gramps, I want to say that I am sorry for any bad things that I said to you last night,” Jake said to him. “It is ok young one. I was just upset. So Rose, are you ready to get training from me?” Laoshi asked.
“Well…,” Rose said slowly. “I am going to teach her Gramps. If that is ok with you,” Jake said. Laoshi thought for a moment and said, “Well, I will let you do that for now but, if there are any troubles I want you to come to me immediately.” “Thank you,” Rose said to Laoshi with a smile. “Young ones, let’s go see Dave and talk to him about telling my daughter about Dave being her son,” Laoshi said. Jake and Rose left the table and got showered and dressed. They went downstairs to find Laoshi ready to go. They left the shop and headed for the Long household.

Chapter 19: Family Secrets
Dave woke up and walked downstairs to see if his parents were awake. He saw them sitting at the table with Laoshi, Jake, and Rose. Fu was pretending to be a normal dog. “Good morning everyone,” Dave said and took the only available seat. “So, how did you sleep?” Faye asked. “Just fine. I didn’t have much trouble falling asleep,” Dave told her. “The tea is done,” Haley said, walking to the table with two cups of tea. She placed one in front of Faye and one in front of Laoshi. Laoshi took a quick sip and said, “Faye, Dave and I need to talk to you alone for a moment.” David looked at Laoshi for a moment but Dave, Laoshi, and Faye got up and went into the hall.
“Faye, it is time to tell him,” Laoshi said to her. “But Dad, you know I just can’t…,” she started. “You need to tell him. There are many things that need to be explained,” Dave said. Faye and the two men argued quietly for a few minutes when they returned to the table. “David. There is something I have to tell you,” she said softly. David slipped her hands into his. “What is it honey?” David asked. “You see David, you married into a family of dragons,” Faye told him. David froze and stared around the table. “You mean everyone here but me is a dragon?” he asked in disbelief. “Yes, well…I can’t change into one. And, Rose isn’t one either,” Faye said. “It actually turns out Rose is a dragon too,” Dave said.
David stood up. “All these years and you never told me,” he said and headed for the door. Dave stood up as David shut the door. Dave went after him. “Mr. Long, please stop!” Dave said to him. “Or what? You’ll shoot a fireball at me?” David called out to him, turning to face Dave. “Yes, a huge one. Now get inside. There is still more for you to know,” Dave said. “Wow, this is strange. The child telling off the parent,” Dave said with a small smile. “What?” David asked in disbelief. “I am your son,” Dave told David as they went inside.
They sat down at the table and Dave sighed. “I am your son,” he told Faye and David. “Jake’s twin,” he added when no one said anything. They just stared at the table. Dave sighed again and went into detail, with Jake, Laoshi, and to David’s surprise, Fu, about the magical world. David sat back and gave a small whistle. “So, that has all been going on behind my back,” he said and stood up. “I am going to go think,” he said. “Don’t leave,” Dave said. “I said to think, not to leave. Come with me and we’ll bond together,” David told Dave. Dave ran upstairs and got dressed and left with David. The people at the table could hear them laughing going down the street.
They returned a few hours later and sat down at the table. David was pale and Dave had a smile. “What is wrong honey?” Faye asked. “I didn’t think New York City was so big in the air,” David said. Everyone started laughing and Faye stopped just for a moment to say, “Dave, you didn’t.” “I did,” Dave said and everyone went back to laughing again.
------------------------- I hope it is good so far. I also now have the sidestory, "Dave Long: The Days Of Darkness" up.

Chapter 20: Planning
Dave sat on the living room couch and waited for Laoshi and Jake. When they came in Dave sighed. “I need to tell you two something important. I was attacked by Karalyn last night. She ran after hearing my parents coming up the stairs. I got lucky, she didn’t kill me like she was threatening to do,” Dave told them. Jake sighed and said, “We will have to keep an eye out for them. I hope that she stays away for awhile.” “We have no idea of what she wants at the moment or why she even came after you,” Laoshi said. “She blames me for what happened to her. She thinks that I am supposedly responsible for her so called death,” Dave said. Laoshi just shook his head then Dave said, “We got to save the child that the Dark Dragon has. We need to get it out of there. I have a strong feeling it is being consumed by dark magic.”
Jake seemed to be angered by this. “It has no chance even if we do save it now. Consumed by dark magic and being raised by the Dark Dragon,” he said bitterly. “Did you forget I was raised by the Dark Dragon?” Dave asked quietly. Jake then looked ashamed and said, “Sorry, but I just can’t help but think it is too late. We may just be risking our lives for nothing going after it.” “It still seems innocent. We got to go to the mansion and try to save it or it will be too late,” Dave said. “Young ones, I will let you handle this one. First of all, where is this mansion?” Laoshi asked. “In Yonkers,” Dave told him.
“Now that we have that information, we must decide who is going,” Laoshi said. “Jake, Rose, and I will go,” Dave said. “Haley will also join you,” Laoshi told them. “We can’t take Haley. It will be too dangerous,” Jake said. “I am going with you!” Haley said, standing in the doorway. She had hid herself earlier and listened to everything that they were saying. “We will take her,” Dave said. Faye came by and said, “Dave, there is a girl here for you.” A blonde haired girl walked into the living room. “Sarah Jackson?” Dave asked breathlessly. The girl nodded and before anyone knew what was going on, Dave and Sarah were in each others arms, kissing.
“If you don’t mind me asking, who are you?” Haley asked Sarah. They broke the kiss and Sarah smiled at Haley. “This is my girlfriend from Yonkers. We met each other a long time ago,” Dave said with a smile on his face as well. “How old are you?” Haley asked. Sarah gave a small laugh and said, “Seventeen.” Sarah then turned to Dave. “Would you like to go out and talk for a while?” Sarah asked. “I would love to but I got this family thing to do right now,” Dave said. Sarah put a piece of paper in Dave’s hand and said, “Call me later,” she said and left. “Well, we better get a move on,” Rose said. Dave and the others turned to see Rose at the doorway as well. “Who doesn’t listen in?” Jake asked.

Chapter 21: Journey To The Mansion
Jake, Haley, and Dave flew in their dragon forms to the mansion while Rose rode on Jake’s back. She looked down and saw how high up they were and she smiled and said, “What would you do if I fell off?” Jake smiled and said, “I would try to catch you. Why?” “No reason,” Rose said. She then grinned and fell off Jake’s back. Dave heard a scream from Haley and turned around to see Rose falling and Jake chasing after her. Jake finally caught her right before she hit the ground. “What did you do that for!” Jake yelled at Rose who was in his arms. Rose put her arms around Jake and said, “Just wanted to make sure that you were telling the truth and that you would catch me if I did fall on accident.” “You scared me Rose, I thought you would die. That was too close!’ Jake said, a little calmer but angry. “Hey, I knew you would catch me,” Rose said with a smile at Jake. “And what if I messed up and you hit the ground?” Jake asked. “Well, I wouldn’t feel anything,” Rose said. Jake rolled his eyes and they continued heading for the mansion.
Dave kept an eye out for the mansion and saw it ahead of them. He slowed down and looked at the others. “All right, we are about to face the Dark Dragon and Chang. We don’t know what they will throw at us and we don’t know if they know we are coming or not. Whatever happens, we got to get in there and get out as fast as we can,” he said to them. “What about the layout of the mansion?” Rose asked. “I have been here for over fifteen years many times. I have a pretty good idea of everything inside and outside the mansion,” Dave told her. “What about the baby? How are we going to get it out?” Haley asked. “I will carry it back to the shop. But listen, if anything happens to me, get out. I don’t want anyone dying or being caught because of me,” Dave told her. After that statement, everyone was quiet and they continued to head towards the mansion and landed about fifty yards from the door. “Why are we landing?” Haley asked. “We are going to head to the mansion in our human forms, that way we have less of a chance of being caught,” Dave said.
They walked slowly up to the door so that they didn’t make much noise when they heard something behind them. They turned and saw multiple Shades. “Run!” Jake yelled. They started to run as the Shades started to run after them. Haley stumbled but Dave picked her up and they fell slightly behind. The running continued to reach the mansion when Jake and Rose turned around to notice that Haley and Dave were gone. They didn’t waste a second outside and went into the mansion where total hell awaited them.

Chapter 22: Quick Search
Jake and Rose slammed the doors shut so that the Shades didn’t get them. They looked around at the mansion and noticed it seemed pretty normal like the Dark Dragon didn’t even stay there. They held hands and walked forward slowly and entered what looked like a kitchen. There were a few dishes in the sink which looked like they were just put in there recently. Jake and Rose looked around to see if Dave and Haley were around. Jake sighed when nothing unusual was seen and went to a set of double doors with Rose. They tried to open the doors but they were locked. They looked through the keyhole to see what looked like stairs on the other side. They went to the other side of the doors to see a picture on the wall of a small child. “It is the same child we saw on the Isle of Draco that one day!” Rose exclaimed. They looked at the picture momentarily and continued down the narrow hallway.
They entered a large living room. It looked like a normal living room but it seemed weird for someone like the Dark Dragon. They knew he despised the human race so they were wondering why it looked like a human’s living room. The whole mansion was suspicious to them though and they continued through the living room into a dining room with a single door. They tried to open the door but it was locked. They looked through the keyhole and noticed that it was the same room with the stairs except that the door was just on the opposite side of the double doors. The dining room table looked neat like it was recently picked up. Jake walked to the window and looked out for any sign of Dave, Haley, or the Dark Dragon. When he saw no one, he sighed and turned to Rose. “What are we going to do now?” he asked her.

Chapter 23: Hiding
Dave and Haley had to run to the right into some woods when the Shades started to close in on them and tried to get them. They ran to the side of the house and saw a little cellar door. They went down it and closed and locked the door behind them so that the Shades couldn’t get in. They walked down the stairs and saw that it looked like a miniature wine cellar but without the wine. Dave looked at the shelves and noticed a claw sitting at the bottom of each section of the shelves. He looked under them to see writings about who the claws came from. “When he kills someone, he takes a claw from them and puts it here to mark where it came from. The tag underneath tells who they were and when he killed them,” Dave said. Dave saw a few empty sections on a shelf and he went to it to see that three of them had no claws but tags under them. He gasped at what he saw and Haley came over and read what they said. ‘The American Dragon. D.O.D:’ ‘The Chinese Dragon D.O.D.’ ‘Dave Long D.O.D.’ “Why don’t you have a title?” Haley asked Dave. Dave just shook his head and Haley asked, “What does D.O.D mean?” “It means Date Of Death,” Dave told her.
Haley felt shivers running down her back at this info and they walked through the cellar to see a shadow in the corner. It charged at them and Dave noticed it was a Shade. He transformed his arm and destroyed the Shade. They found another set of stairs and went up them to see a door. They opened it and entered a room with a set of stairs going up behind them. In front of them was a single door and behind them were double doors. “We are on the first floor,” Dave said and closed the door after Haley came out. He unlocked the lock for the single door and walked through it.

Chapter 24: Teaming Up
Jake and Rose heard a door shut from beyond the single door where the stairs were at. Jake hid against the wall and heard a lock click and then the door opened. He transformed his arm and put his claws in the person’s face. “Jake!” Dave exclaimed. After Jake realized it was Dave he transformed his arm back to normal. “Sorry Dave,” Jake said and Dave just smiled. “What do we do now?” Rose asked. “We got to search for the child. I know it is upstairs so we should go there first,” Dave said. “What if something happens? What if one of us gets locked in a room or something?” Haley asked. “Then you yell for help, simple as that. I don’t care if it attracts the Dark Dragon, I won’t have anyone of my relatives die other than me,” Dave told them. “You will not die here!” Jake said to Dave. Dave gave a small laugh. “I don’t plan to die here but if I have to die to save the people that I love, then I will do it,” Dave told him. “We all need to make it home safe and sound,” Jake said. “And we will make it home safe and sound,” Dave said.
They looked over at the stairs and thought about what they could face upstairs. “What are we going to do if something big attacks us?” Haley asked. Jake laughed and said, “You have a wild imagination.” “What about you writing in your journal that you are scared of…,” Haley was cut off by Jake putting his hand over her mouth. “That is enough from you, now let’s get upstairs,” Jake said. They went into the room and headed up the stairs to find the child.

Chapter 25: Delayed
They were halfway up the stairs when they saw someone standing at the very top of the stairs. “Chang!” Dave said and Chang smiled and started to walk down the stairs. Haley backed down a couple of steps but Dave and Jake stayed where they were. Rose backed up a bit too but only in case something happened. “What do you want Chang?” Jake asked her. “It is not respectful to call your grandmother by just her first name,” Chang said, continuing down the stairs. “You are no grandmother of mine!” Jake yelled. “You took me away from Jake when I was born! How can we even call you a grandmother after that!” Dave yelled at her. “It is not nice to raise your voice at your grandmother either,” Chang said calmly and then said, “You have a chance to give up. It is your choice of what you want to do.” Dave and Jake had to start backing down the steps as Chang approached them. “Rose, get Haley out of here. Now!” Jake said to Rose. Rose gave Jake a quick hug and grabbed Haley and ran to the living room. Dave and Jake were now at the bottom of the steps with Chang smiling at them. “What are we going to do?” Dave asked Jake. “There is only one thing we can do. We have to fight!” Jake said. “Is that your choice?” Chang asked. “Very well then. We are going to have a great fight. Well, it will be great after I win!” Chang said and Jake and Dave moved out of the way as she transformed. “We can’t both transform. Run to the basement!” Dave said and they headed down the stairs. Chang was right behind them all of the way down. “Now we have enough room to fight,” Dave said transforming. Jake turned to look at Chang and smiled. “Dragon up!” he yelled and transformed to his dragon form. “Are you ready to fight?” Chang asked them. “Bring it!” Dave and Jake yelled.

Chapter 26: Family Fight
Jake and Dave got ready to fight Chang as she laughed. “You think you two teenage boys can beat me?” she asked. “Yes, we know we can,” Dave said. “You will not stand in our way of our mission!” Jake said to her. Chang growled and flew at them and tried to attack them with her claws. They moved out of the way and Jake shot fire at Chang. She avoided it and shot some of her own fire at them. Jake moved out of the way as Dave flew in from behind and tried to hit Chang. She ducked and Dave crashed into a shelf. Jake tried to hit Chang while she ducked but she hit Jake with her claws and Jake stumbled backwards.
Dave got up and dove at Chang and hit her with some of his fire but she was not down yet. She slashed at Dave and hit him. The cut was deep but Dave wouldn’t give up. Jake and Dave attacked Chang together and knocked her to the ground. They landed and smiled at the sight of Chang’s anger. She got up and growled and shot fire at them. They moved but Chang knew this was going to happen and shot fire at Dave first and hit him. Dave fell to the ground and she then shot some at Jake and hit him. They got up after the attack and shot their own fire at her. She grinned and dodged and flew up the stairs. She transformed at the top as Jake and Dave transformed back to their human forms. They ran up the stairs but she continued to grin and she closed the door and locked it. Jake and Dave tried to force the door open but it wouldn’t budge. Jake hit the door in anger and Dave went back downstairs. “Come on, we got to go in through the front door,” he said.

Chapter 27: Rose Vs. Chang
Rose and Haley hid in the living room as they watched Chang walk by with a look of victory on her face. Rose glared at her and after she walked past, she ran to the stairs with Haley. She noticed that the stairs to the second floor were now destroyed so that they could not be used. Rose ran to the basement door and tried to open it by it seemed to be jammed shut somehow. She turned around to see a grinning Chang. “Did you think that I didn’t know where you were hiding?” she asked evilly. Rose moved but she was grabbed by Chang. Haley transformed and shot fire at Chang only to move out of the way as Chang shot fire at her. Rose struggled under the grip of a now transformed Chang. Rose gasped and tried to struggle out of the hold but she felt more pressure going to her throat where Chang’s hand now was.
Haley was feeling hopeless and her tears reflected that. Rose heard the crying of Haley and thought back to Dave telling her that she was a dragon. Rose concentrated and thought about becoming a dragon. She thought hard and thought of Jake in the process. Chang gasped and let Rose drop as flames burned her hand.
Dave and Jake opened the cellar door and went out into the darkness outside. They crept around to the front of house only for Dave to be knocked down by a Shade. Dave growled and jumped up and tried to attack the Shade but it moved fast. Jake transformed and flew into the air trying to get it while Dave looked around for it on the ground. Dave felt something grab him from behind and he turned to punch only to see it was Jake. “Don’t scare me like that,” Dave said to Jake and looked around again for the Shade. “Sorry, but I don’t see it anywhere,” Jake said. Jake transformed back to his human form and they ran towards the door to see the Shade sitting there waiting for them. Jake and Dave easily took care of it with their fire and opened the door to find out it was locked. Dave and Jake both broke the lock on the door and the door flew open. They ran inside to see Chang dropping someone or rather, something. It was another dragon. “Rose!” Jake exclaimed.

Chapter 28: First Transformation
Jake and Dave stared at Rose in shock and Rose herself was surprised at first. “Stay away from us!” Rose growled at Chang. Chang just struck out at Rose and Rose raised her arm. Chang’s claws cut Rose’s arm and it started to bleed slightly. Dave and Jake transformed and shot fire at Chang. Chang flew up and out of the way and Rose used her wings to get into the air but as it was her first time as a dragon, she had trouble controlling where she was flying. She accidentally hit Dave and they both hit the ground. “Sorry!” Rose said to Dave. Dave just smiled and said, “It is your first time, I understand.” They got up off of the ground and Dave said, “Rose, for now, just stay on the ground. It may be easier for all of us.” Rose had a look of disappointment on her face but she nodded and stayed on the ground. Dave flew up again and tried to fly into Chang but she dodged causing Dave to his a wall. He fell to the ground and shifted back to his human form. “Now that hurt,” Dave said.
Jake shot fire at Chang but Chang was prepared and she dodged and flew straight at Jake, knocking him on top of Rose. Rose moaned slightly and Jake got up off of her and helped her up while Dave got up and transformed back to his dragon form. The fighting started again. Dave cut Chang from behind but he was quickly thrown against the wall again. Dave got up as Jake started to take Chang on by himself. He scratched at her with his claws and shot fire on occasion but he missed every time and Chang hit Jake with fire knocking him down. Chang turned to face Dave and started to slowly approach him. Dave looked at Chang in fear as Rose tried to make herself useful. Then, fortune shined upon Rose and she shot a fireball out at Chang. Chang turned to face Rose after being hit but Dave quickly knocked Chang down to the ground. Chang got up and growled, “It isn’t over yet. You can count on that,” she said and flew out of the small room. Dave transformed back and went to Rose where Jake had Rose in his arms. “Thanks Rose,” Dave said. “No problem,” Rose responded to him. “You are one sexy dragon,” Jake said. “As are you,” Rose said and then they started kissing and holding onto each other, getting as close as their dragon bodies would allow them. Haley just stared and Dave smiled and grabbed Haley. After a couple of minutes and some thinking on Dave’s part, he finally said to the still kissing Jake and Rose, “I think we should continue moving on now.” They broke the kiss and nodded. “He is right. We should continue,” Rose said. Jake and Rose transformed back to their human forms and they looked at the stairs. “I think we will have to fly up them,” Dave said, noticing that the stairs were broken. Dave made his wings appear and he flew up the broken steps. After a little struggling from Rose, she activated just her wings and flew up with Jake holding her hand and flying beside her. Haley flew up last. When they were at the top they got rid of their wings and looked around the floor.

Chapter 29: Searching The Second Floor
Dave walked forward slowly with the others behind them. He opened the door on his right to see a bedroom. It was large in size and the bed looked like it hasn’t been made. He walked into the room and noticed that it must belong to the Dark Dragon. He saw nothing that would indicate other wise. He had papers of taking over the humans on his dresser and a journal of what he had done on his desk. Dave tried to open the journal but it was locked. He turned his hand into claws and tried to open it by force but it wouldn’t work. “Unicorn horn,” he said softly and the others looked at him and Jake said, “What did you say?” “I was trying to open this diary but the lock is holding well. I think it may be made our of unicorn horn,” Dave told them. They just sighed and walked out of the room and went over to another door and opened it. It was yet another bedroom, just slightly smaller than the Dark Dragon’s room. It was purple and Jake said, “This must be Chang’s room.”
There was a bookshelf in the corner of the room which had books about dragons and other magical creatures. They looked around to see that a TV was sitting on top of her dresser. They turned it on to see the Magic Channel. They tried to change the channel but not a single one would come in but the Magic Channel. Rose turned off the TV and sat down on the bed. “Rose, you can rest here. I know that transforming for the first time will make you very tired,” Jake said. “But I want to help,” Rose said. “Go to sleep for a little bit Rose. We’ll wake you up if anything happens,” Jake said. Rose gave a slight nod and Jake kissed her. Rose laid down on the bed while Dave walked out of the room on his own. He went straight to his room and opened the door. He saw the cradle still sitting there and he went into the room to see what was in there.
