Heir to the Am-Drag chapter1

A week had past since Jake Long had graduated from middle school. He and his friends, Trixie and Spud were at the skatepark, doing their usual tricks and moves. Jake's phone rang, and he answered it.

"Yo Fu," he said. "What is it?"

"You should come over here." Fu Dog, Jake's animal guardian said. "I made a potion that should help with your dragon powers."

"Why would I need help with my powers?" Jake questioned. "I'm doing pretty good already."

"Maybe," Fu said. "But after that last battle, you could probably use the energy."

"Okay, Fu." Jake said. "I'll be right there." he hung up. "Yo guys, I gotta split." Jake said to his friends, before riding his skateboard to the shop.

When he got there, Fu wasn't there. He found a note on the potion shelf, and he read it. "Kid," Jake read to himself. "just drink the potion that says it'll create more power and life."

Jake looked at the potions on the shelf, until he came across a shining blue potion that read "Firtility" on the front label. Jake read the label that said it would bring new life, and he couldn't read the rest because of the smudge.

"This must be it." he said, taking the top off. He drank it all down untill there was nothing left except maybe a couple drops left in the bottle. He threw the bottle away along with the cork.

He rode his skateboard back to his house, and went up to his room, put his skateboard and helmet by his door and lay down on his bed. For some reason, he was feeling really tired. He nuzzled his head against his pillow, waiting to fall asleep. He closed his eyes, and started to sleep.

A few hours later, woke up to a loud grumbling sound. It took him a minute to realise it was his stomach. He was hungry all of a sudden, and he didn't know why. He walked downstares, where his family was starting dinner.

"I hope you're hungry, Jakeroo." his father said.

"Actually, I am." Jake said, sitting at the table. "Very. I don't know why."

"Well you're a growing boy." his father said, putting a ham on the table.

Jake wiffed the ham, the yummy juicey sent making his stomach growl again.

Jake's mom and dad, and his little sister Haley sat down and his dad started cutting the ham. Jake held up his plate, and his dad put a piece on it. "Thanks, Dad." Jake said, quickly cutting into the meat.

While everyone else was full from dinner and was watching TV in the living room, Jake was having seconds. He scarfed down some mashed potatos and wolfed down some more ham, and finally, after a lot of food, he was full. He looked down, and realised his stomach had a small bulge in it. It wasn't that noticable, but he could still see it.

"Dang," Jake said. "I gotta cut back."

Jake left the kitchen and headed upstares.

"Tired already?" his mother asked.

"Yeah, I'm not sure why." Jake said, still walking. "Well, goodnight." he called, before going into his room. He took off his clothes and put on his pajamas, and got into bed. Like earlier, it didn't take long for him to doze off to sleep.

"Hey," Fu said, as he looked through the potions back at the shop. "Where's the firtility potion?" he looked around the shelves, and he saw that the potion he had made for Jake was still there.

"Uh-oh..."

The next morning, Jake was woken up by the feeling of Fu lick his face.

"Hey," Jake said. "What gives?"

"Listen, kid." Fu said. "You didn't drink the right potion."

"Say what now?" Jake asked, confused.

"I shoulda given better instructions on which one to take, but it's too late now."

Jake became concerned with that last statement. "What is it, Fu? What's wrong?"

"Jake," Fu said. "There's no easy way to tell you this...but.. you're......"
