After a four hour flight the family arrives at Aunt Cathy's island.

"Susan, Jonathan it's nice of both of you to make it to the same reunion for once," Cathy says greeting the adults first.

"He knows now Cathy," Susan explains why her husband is finally attending the full three days.

"Yep, I can't wait to see why sort of dragon things happen over the next three days," Jonathan says chipperly.

"Haley, Fu, you guys look great, did you grow?" Cathy asks.

"Why, yes I have," Haley responds.

"Jake, I heard that you saved the whole magical world by defeating the Dark Dragon," Cathy turns to her nephew.

"That's right, with the help of Trixie and Spud," Jake says giving props to his friends.

"Aw yes, nice to meet you, come on in," Cathy says.

They all follow Aunt Cathy inside where everyone is gathered around a big table.

"Did you get a bigger table?" Susan asks.

"Yes, this one seats 20, hey everyone Susan and her family is here," Cathy says.

"Jake, Cathy heard from Lao Shi that you defeated the Dark Dragon," Aunt Mei says.

"Even Lao Shi couldn't do that," Uncle Wing says.

Gramps mumbles in Cantonese under his breath.

"Come sit at the adult table, all of you," Aunt Chiu leads the trio to the adult table.

"Where is Gregory?"

"He is jet skiing with his girlfriend, I'll go get him, but don't start any stories without me," Cathy says heading to the balcony.

"You okay Jakey?" Trixie asks.

"Gregory is almost as bad as Brad, almost, there is like a 1% chance that Gregory would have a girlfriend unless whoever this girl is has an alternate motive, eye of the dragon," Jake says using his powerful eyesight to look at the girl walking next to his cousin.

"See anything unusual?"

"Yeah, a tattoo on her leg," Jake says after he returns his eyes to normal.

"Should you call Rose, see if she remembers anything about her old life?" Spud asks.

"Not yet, if she says anything about our other side I will call Rose."

"Woof, woof," Fu barks as he walks up with Gregory and his girlfriend.

"I know it's time for your bathroom break, let's go," Jake says as they walk into .

"Jake, where are you going?" Cathy asks.

"Oh, Fu needs to go to the bathroom."

"Again?" Susan asks.

"I will take him to the vet when we get home, Haley, you want to come with?" Jake asks.

"No thanks," Jake's little sister says.

"Sun says you'll get extra credit," Jake uses her mentor to indicate that it's dragon business.

"Let's go," Haley says heading to the door.

Fu and Jake follow the substitute guardian of the magical world.

"So, what's going on, you don't get extra credit for playing second fiddle," Haley says.

"I need you to use your cute face with Gregory's girlfriend, I used the eye of the dragon and saw that there is something on her leg, if it's a maroon birthmark in the shape of a dragon the whole family will be in danger," Jake explains.

"What is so bad about her having a mark that looks like a dragon, that's kinda cool," Haley says.

"Anyone with a birthmark in the shape of a dragon is part of the Huntsclan," Fu says.

"But Jake destroyed the Huntsclan with the skulls," Trixie says.

"Yes, but we only blew up the Hong Kong franchise, there are still more lairs all over the world," Spud says.

"I'll check it out," Haley says walking inside.

"Jake, I love you, Baby, but I think that with Chang being no where to be found when the temple disappeared has gotten you paranoid," Trixie says.

"Maybe but with 88 and 89 on the lose who knows what can happen," Jake says.

"Those two are harmless," Spud says.

"It's been a year, who knows what happened during then," Jake says.

"Good news Jake, it's a tattoo of a blue bunny," Haley comes over to them.

"Good, thanks Hales," Jake says.
