American Dragon's Gem

Hong Kong Knights

Alaska, Trixie and Spud were outside the principal's office as Jake was inside it. Yeah, Mr. Rottwood sent Jake to the office for playing around and dancing on a desk. 

"Is she buying this?" Alaska leaned on a wall as Trixie and Spud listened in. The gem shrugged at her friend's question though. 

"All I can hear is-." Spud then muffled his voice behind his hand. 

Trixie flicked Spud's ear. "Yo, Spud, where's your glass at?" The girl did have a glass cup she was using to listen to the conversation. "I told you to press it to your ear." 

"It is." It was then revealed that Spud was pressing the cup onto his behind. 

Alaska shook her head and crossed her arms at the boy. "She said 'ear' not 'rear', buddy."

Trixie and Spud then got into an argument and ended up bursting through the door. The two landing in a heap on the floor as Alaska poked her head inside. 

"Then I must assume the images caught by the school's state of the art security system, are some sort of illusion?" The principal rolled a tape. 

Jake raised a hand as the tape was about to be played. "Say what?"

The tape played and it showed Jake rapping while using a pencil as a microphone and a desk as a stage. Everyone was hyping him up, but the party ended when Rottwood came up behind Jake. The teacher made him slip and sent him to the office. 

"So, how many days of detention are we talking? Two? Three?" Jake was worried as he was just now proven guilty, and didn't know how to explain it to his parents. 

But what the principal said next surprised everyone there. "No detention. I think you might benefit from a little assignment." 

After telling Jake what he had to do the four were able to leave. "A fifteen-page essay describing your real-life role model? Yo, Drecerto is tripping hard, dude." 

"Like some essay's gonna teach me a lesson about respecting my authority figures." Jake put on his helmet, and they all made their way to the shop. "Man, this day could not get any worse."

Alaska made sure to keep up with Jake as they did. "Well, it could get the new principal off your back, Jake." 

The four stopped for pizza before heading to the shop though. Figured it'd be a good idea to pick up some food for Fu and get something in their bellies. 

"So, Jake, who're you gonna write about as your role model, dude?" Trixie was the one who asked as Alaska was having some stringy cheese trouble. "'Cause, I'm open for interviews this evening around-." 

Alaska nudged Trixie as she finally ate the cheese. "Don't even think about it, Trixie. You either, Spud." 

Spud pointed to Alaska. "Well, if you were to choose who'd it be, Snowflake?" 

The gem shrugged as she thought a second. "I don't know. There's a lot of people in my life that are role models, so I'd have a hard time choosing."

Trixie then had an idea. "Hey, what about your gramps? You could write your paper on him." 

"That's a great idea, Trix." Alaska thought it was perfect. Lao Shi was Jake's dragon master, teacher, grandfather, and has helped guide the American Dragon amazingly. 

Jake wasn't so keen on the idea. "My gramps, really?" 

Spud shrugged. "Not a bad idea. I dig his Yin and his Yang. His Yin, he's wise and magical. Yang, he needs a booster seat when he sits at restaurants. He's so cute." 

"Well, G's cool and all, but he's so-." Jake then trailed off, but Alaska checked her phone. 

"Oh, I gotta get to my shift." She grabbed her helmet and roller blades. "I'll see you at the shop, Jake."
