Yo, how much longer
I gotta keep this up, g?
The foolish night bird chases the moon.
But the wise one waits for it.
Say what?
Less whine and more shine.
And don't be afraid to use a little spit.
Come on, kid. Go for the good one like this.
Hey, buck up. You're out tonight
doin' your heroic American dragon thing.
In my book, that's called glamorous.
So when exactly does the glamorous part start?
Right about now.
That's him. I'm goin' in.
Jake, wait! Goblins have
a highly sensitive sense of smell.
Element of surprise is very...
Dragon?!
Unh!
Important.
Come on, dragon up.
Drag--drag-- Drag--drag--dragon.
All right!!
Whoa! Ooh!
Aye! Aye! Yeow! Unh!
Unh!
Yo, it's over, goblin. Ha!
Aah! Aah! Gotcha.
Aah! Dang peepin' Toms!
Hey! Stop it! Aw, man!
Unh! Unh! Unh!
Don't worry, kid. I gotcha.
Wait, what am I saying?
Waahow!
Kid? Looks like gramp's shoes
are gonna need another spit shine.
You got it, heh, and the thing with the--boy!
Aw, man!
Whoa, aah!
Jake! Get back to work!
Aw, man.
Trixie, spud, wait up!
Dude, we hit the skate park last night,
and I was talkin' to you, except...
Wait a minute. You weren't there.
Yeah. Sorry, guys. I had this, thing.
We was all psyched to do some serious shreddin'.
Then outta nowhere, these fancy pants
rich kids showed up and booted us out.
Yeah, yeah. They were all, "get out!"
And then they were all, "our daddies own you," and then--
What spud's tryin' to say,
it's not a game.
We gonna show them who's runnin' that half pipe.
Now come on, let's roll.
Heh. Man.
Hoo! This door is, like, broken.
Unh. One more time. Rally the troops. Come on. Unh.
Every word out of his mouth is like a glimpse into his soul.
Ear of the dragon.
Yeah, he is pretty cute.
I just wanna wrap my arms around him.
Hey, guys.
Rose. I, um,
I sort of overheard your conversation.
But it's totally cool.
I feel exactly the same way.
You think jeran MacArthur's cute, too?
For real! I always thought--
I mean, um, who--who?
He sings that song girl, don't be trippin'.
He's playing radio city tomorrow night.
Right. Well, yeah, you know,
what I meant to say was, um...
Wanna see some cool skate moves?
Yeah! Whoa!
Aah!
Mr. Long, might I have a word with you?
Jake long, I don't like you.
Now do you want to know why this is I don't like you?
'cause my mack daddy moves are so fly?
No, no, no, no, no.
Because you have a bad attitude.
Serious respect issues towards authority figures,
and to top it off, mediocre grades.
The grades aren't my fault.
I'd have more time to study
learning how to be a drag... Racer.
Yeah, you know, like go-karts?
Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom.
I think it's time I find out more about you, Mr. Long.
Hey, no prob. Let's see.
I'm a pisces. I dig extreme sports.
I like girls.
Parent-teacher conference tomorrow, 4:00 P.M.
I'll be looking forward to it.
Nein!
That was deliberate.
All this dragon stuff, it's ruining my life.
I'm startin' to wish I could pass the dragon Baton
to the next kid and be done with it.
But the duties of the American dragon
well, lately, being me isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Speaking of dragon duties,
fu dog performed a truth spell
on our goblin friend last night
and retrieved some very useful information.
The orb of malorphus.
Is it, "a," a funky paperweight,
or "b," a great big ball of evil?
Heh. If you chose "b," kid, congrats.
A hefty sum to pick up the orb from the huntsman
and deliver it to a goblin crime ring in Ohio.
Goblins gotta eat, too.
The orb contains highly concentrated dark magic.
In the wrong hands,
it could be very dangerous.
That is why you must intercept it.
Hey, don't even sweat it, g.
I'll just go full dragon and let 'em know.
You know what I'm sayin'? I'm the... Mmmph!
It is best you do this mission
undercover as the goblin.
And how is somethin' this handsome
gonna turn into somethin' that...
Achk!
Dragons have natural shapeshifting ability.
Fu dog will create a potion
which taps into that power.
Unicorn hoof clippings. Pow.
Ogre nose hairs. Bada-bing.
Bottled troll belches.
Bingo. One shapeshiftin' smoothie
with wheat grass booster.
Ooh!
Fu! Unh! That junk is nasty!
Unh! I'm gonna totally Ralph!
Dudes, check me out!
Ralph is not that big through the hips.
Hey, fu, how long does this shapeshifting mojo last?
A single serving gives you 24 hours of transformin' fun.
That's what I'm sayin'!
Meeting with hunts clan is in one hour.
You should spend this time
practicing goblin voice.
Yeah, and I wouldn't recommend
goin' too crazy with all the shapeshifting.
The more you use it, the harder it is to control.
Wait. Are you saying I can shapeshift into other people?
Check this.
The sparrow with the most Patience
is more patient than the one that's impatient.
You sound just like the old man!
Hey, yo, forget about it!
I gotta go get me some dog biscuits
and give myself a flea bath.
Ga ga goo!
I don't talk like that.
Jake, until the potion wears off,
you will not be able to use any of your dragon powers.
That is why you must treat your mission very seriously.
It's cool, g. Serious is my middle name.
Now brothers and sisters,
busta move and bring on the hunts clan!
Kitchy-kitchy-coo!
You must not keep the hunts clan waiting.
Tsk. No worries, g.
Ralph the goblin is in the heezy-bejeezy!
Yo, what's up, huntsy?
Hunts girl, you are looking fizzine.
Goblin, we meet again.
Yeah, that's right. We, met before...
That one time at the place
near the thing with the people.
Good times.
Something about you seems different.
Ralph is, trying something new with his hair.
Highlights. Really brings out Ralph's eyes,
now about that orb of malorphus.
Yes, about that.
There's been a change of plans.
Have mercy!
I received this message from my supplier.
It seems the orb of malorphus
has been temporarily held up.
Really? That's all?
I--i--i mean, this is unacceptable!
Ralph spits on your supplier!
Rrr!
Meet us back at the troll bridge
tomorrow night at sundown.
We will have the orb then.
Guys, they totally bought it!
This shapeshiftin' spell's outta control!
Parent-teacher conference?
This totally tanks.
My notes from school always have
lots of stars and smiley faces. Wanna see?
No! Guys, you can't take this note seriously.
It's from Mr. Rotwood. He's, like, a total freak!
Well, young man, I would very much
like to, meet this "freak"
and talk about your grades
which sure could use some improvement.
That was one delicious cup
of oolong tea, let me tell ya.
I'll make you more tea 'cause I love you.
Why, thanks, Haley hoo. You're a peach, honey.
- I know. - What the?
That pesky fire alarm has gone off this week!
Now, Jake, about your grades.
How can you expect me to be a dragon
and get good grades? You don't even know
what it's like to have dragon powers.
True. That skipped my generation.
But powers or not, we all have our own challenges.
We just have to face them head on.
Ok, mom.
Who says the head has to be mine?
Mr. and Mrs. Long, your conference with Mr. Rotwood
has been changed from room 1A to room 1b.
He'll be with you in a moment.
Thanks.
Ho ho, yeah. This is gonna be good!
Where are those parents? Unh!
It's a pleasure to meet you, professor rotwood.
Jake! What a fine individual!
Never have I come across such a wicked, fresh genius!
R-really? Well, that sure is not
and being such a complete weirdo,
I could never hope to be as hip hoppin' and happenin' as he is.
That's right! I, professor rotwood,
am a big, old, nasty freak! And you know what else?
I like to eat dog food and dance the forbidden hula!
Ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff!
Aloha, whoo!
Ok, now, Jake was right.
That man is a wacko!
Tick tock, tick tock, Mrs. Long. You are late.
Like mother, like son?
Mr. Rotwood, I...
Professor rotwood.
I don't care if it's wacko rotwood!
You no good player hater!
Because he's got super fly mack daddy moves and you don't!
If you know what's good for you, you'll leave him alone
and move to some faraway country like...
Gerbackamania!
Good day, Mr. Rotwood.
Actually, it's professor--
I said, "good day!"
Man, this is sweet!
That you can't go to the concert tonight.
I know. I've been so obsessing
over jaren MacArthur lately,
I can't even think about other boys.
Yeah, what's up, beautiful, yo?
My gosh!
It's pop sensation jaren MacArthur!
That's right. I was thinking me and you
could make some beautiful music together.
Yeah. I--i mean, I love your music.
Sing us one of your songs.
Yeah, totally!
I love you, jaren!
But I don't know any of his--
I mean, hey, yo.
I don't have a guitar.
But I don't, um...
This one goes out to Rose.
Well, see y'all! Peace!
I still love you, jaren!
How about sharin' this skate park with the rest of us?
But we paid the management good money
to close the half pipe to everybody but us.
Come back tomorrow, ok?
Tomorrow? See, you're trippin'.
This is America.
And not just any America.
This is north America, buddy!
Yeah, and in north America, money talks.
"Skate pro Tommy king."
Yeah!
Unh!
Dude, what seems to be the problem-o?
Yo, Tommy king, peep, king,
wretch over there, snot for brains,
thinks he can-- Junk!
You know who you are?
Pro skating sensation,
and sk8er-Ade spokesman, Tommy king.
But your website says you're on vacation in France.
Dudes, maybe this isn't north America.
Heh. My good friend Jake totally told me
some kids were giving you guys trouble.
So I hopped on a plane, and I was--
Who said anything about trouble? Ha.
Any friends of Tommy's are friends of ours.
This is rad! Tommy, that's the stuff!
Wow! Whoa!
Did you just see that?
See what?
Man, that last fall on the head
must've messed me up good.
Hey--hey guys, sorry I'm late.
Hush it! Excuses later.
Hurry and turn into the goblin.
The hunts clan is waiting.
Heh. Hey, g. Don't even sweat it.
This ain't no-- Whoa! Thing.
I have a bad feeling Jake has misused his shapeshifting powers.
So, I'm here to see a clan about an orb.
The orb of malorphus as you've requested.
Let's see,
round, dark, creepy glow. Heh.
Looks good!
Now if you don't mind,
Ralph has to be some--
What?
Unh! Unh!
He's a fake!
Seize him!
Unh, unh, unh!
Tsk. Aw, man.
Aieeeya!
Had enough?
Play time's over, boy.
Hyaaah! Dragon!
Unh.
Then perhaps this could be the American dragon?
Heh heh.
Hunts clan, move out!
Jake! Aw, gramps, we're too late!
Let me guess. You've done this before.
Never to someone so cute.
But I'm not as cute as that hunk-a hunk-a
burning dragon you fight against, am I right?
Silence, boy. I have no doubt you are the American dragon.
I've been waiting for this moment...
The chance to slay my first dragon
and become one of the hunts clan.
Patience, Thorn.
His shape-shifting spell won't last.
I want him alive long enough to see his true human face.
We got exactly one hour before the spell wears off.
Until then, the kid's completely defenseless.
The hunts clan could have transported him anywhere.
There's gotta be some way to sniff him out.
Too bad I'm not a bloodhound.
Why?! Why did she do that?
Ralph does not think contestant
should have bid $1.00 on washer-dryer.
So you will set Ralph free
if he helps you sniff out your boy?
Yes. Only Jake was not Jake when the hunts clan took him.
He was pop sensation jaren MacArthur.
And he buys all his clothes at haberdashy and flinch.
What? A 600-year-old dog can't be hip to the new trends?
Ralph will help you.
But Ralph must first have a scent
from this pop sensation before he can track him.
A tub of hair gel and a pair of extra extra baggy jeans
have been reported stolen from the dressing room
of pop sensation jaren MacArthur.
Earlier, MacArthur had this to say.
Why, yo? Why?!
No word yet as to whether he will summon the courage
to take the stage tonight as scheduled.
I love you, jaren!
Come on, dragon up.
Dragon up!
The identity of the American dragon shall be revealed.
Ok, which one of you cheapos forgot to pay the electric bill?
Oops, my bad. Must've brushed against the light switch.
I hate it when that happens. Ha ha!
Hyah!
The old dragon is mine! You handle the boy!
Hey, hot stuff. Miss me?
Unh!
I liked you better tied up.
I bet you say that to all the dragons.
Hyah!
Waah!
Yaah!
Unh! Whoa!
Oof!
Ooh, baby! It's good to be me!
You'll make a fine trophy, dragon.
What? Aah!
Aiya! The orb!
Kid! Belly slide!
Right on!
He slides...
Whoo! The catch is made and the crowd goes-!
Oof! Aah! Unh!
Huntsmaster, hurry! The whole place is going to--
I'm not leaving until this dragon is slain.
Think again, huntsfreak!
Gramps, heads up!
Aaah!
Good one, kid! Now, let's get the heck out of here!
Excellent work, young one.
Now that was glamorous.
So the orb is locked up at the shop?
Safe and sound. Now you will have time
to focus on your grades.
You sound like mom and dad.
Jake, your mother and I know
you have many responsibilities.
All we ask is that you try your best
and are honest in your actions.
Thanks, gramps.
Well, this is my exit.
So you are certain you did not misuse
your shapeshifting power? Not even once?
Tsk, no way, g. Come on!
Like I would ever disobey you.
I'm reporting you to the school board!
Pop sensation jaren MacArthur was right here on campus.
Hey, Jake! Why you didn't tell us
you was down with skater Tommy king?
I'm pretty busted?
You do not know the meaning of the word!
Aw, man!
