AHH.
HUH. STOP THE LEAK BALLOON BOY.
I AIN'T MOVIN'.

HOW DOES THE MONKEY KEEP FINDING
NEW PLACES TO HIDE THE CHEESE?
PASS. JUST BLOG IT ALL OUT,
AND WE'LL HIT THE COURTYARD.
YOU CAN'T RUSH PASSION, JAKEY.
BLOGGING IS THE VOICE OF OUR GENERATION.
THIS IS HOW WE GET UP IN FRONT OF THE WORLD
AND SAY YO,
THIS IS WHERE WE STAND, AND WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED.
WHAT KYLE WILKINS WORE TODAY?
UNLESS KYLE'S WEARING VINTAGE JEANS AND A MUSCLE TEE.
NOW THAT WILL MOVE ME. MMM, MMM.
CALL THE MOVIN' VAN.
HEY. WHAT'S GOIN' ON OUT THERE?
MONKEY HIDING CHEESE.
OH, PLEASE BE A MONKEY HIDING CHEESE.

[LAUGHTER]

Students: OOH!

THE PIXIE LAND EXPRESS. CUCKOO!
[LAUGHTER]
AT LEAST IT'S A COVER STORY.
BUT YOU CAN'T... I'M... I'M NOT...
IT'S PROBABLY JUST ROTWOOD MAKING UP STORIES.
WHO CARES?
IT'S HIL-A-RACIOUS!
AND IT'S NOT ABOUT ME!
THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!
HOW DID YOU EVEN GET THESE FROM ROTWOOD'S OFFICE?
[GERMAN ACCENT] DID I LEAVE THOSE FOLDERS SITTING OUT
WITH THE DOOR OPEN
AND JAKE LONG'S FILE ON THE TOP OF THE STACK, AGAIN?
ACH! WHAT A MAJOR OOPSIE I HAVE COMMITTED.
ONE DAY'S DETENTION FOR YOU NAUGHTY BOYS.
ONE DAY! THAT'S ALL THEY GET?
OH, AND BY THE WAY, STUDENTS,
NEXT WEEK, WE WILL BE WORKING ON CLASS MOSTS AND BESTS.

TA.
[GROANS]
YO, YOU WANTED THOSE PUNKS TO READ MY FILE.
WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?
ZE DOOR, PLEASE.
PERMIT ME TO BE PERFECTLY FRANK VITH YOU, MR. LONG.
AS A YOUNG STUDENT OF MAGICAL CREATURES,
I MADE A PROMISE TO MYSELF.
I SWORE I WOULD EXPOSE MY FIRST MAGICAL CREATURE
TO THE WORLD BY MY 47th BIRTHDAY.
WHY 47th?
WAS A TYPO.
THAT BIRTHDAY ARRIVES IN ONE WEEK.
YET, NOTHING TO SHOW FOR MY LIFE'S VERK.
OH, I HAVE HAD MANY LEADS OVER THE YEARS.
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW CLOSE I AM TO FINDING SOMEPLACE
CALLED THE MAGUS BAZAAR.
THE, UH, BIZARRO WHAT NOW?
AND, OF COURSE, I DID LEARN THAT A CERTAIN YOUNG MAN
LIVES THE SECRET LIFE OF A DRAGON.
BUT, AS WE HAVE SEEN, [ROARS]
[SIGHS] YOU ARE NOT SO EASILY EXPOSED.
SO, NOW WE PLAY DIRTY, LIKE THE SWINEY PIGGIES, JA?
YOU THINK GETTING ME NOMINATED FOR FREAK OF THE YEAR
IS GONNA PROVE I'M A DRAGON?
NO, BUT IT WILL THROW YOU OFF YOUR GAME.
GET YOU TO MAKE A MISTAKE...
DRAGON UP AT ZE WRONG MOMENT.
AND WHEN YOU DO, WHO WILL BE THERE
TO RECORD THE EVIDENCE OF YOUR TRUE MAGICAL NATURE?
HANS ROTWOOD!
ENJOY THE TEEN GOSSIP MACHINE.
[GIGGLING AND WHISPERING]
UH, HEY, LADIES.
GOSSIP SURE TRAVELS FAST, HUH?
HA HA HA.
OH!
THERE'S A DUDE THAT THINKS HE'S A DRAGON.
DOES HE BREATHE FIRE?
OH, HE'S GONNA FLY!
[LAUGHTER]
UH.
UHH.
JOIN US, BROTHER.
[GASPS]
UHH.

FANTASY SECTION'S OVER THERE, DRAGON BOY.
[GROANS] ROTWOOD, PUNK.

HMM.
Trixie: OOH-WHEE!
THAT IS A SERIOUS BLOG SLAPPIN'
YOU'RE LAYIN' DOWN ON ROTWOOD, BOY!
BUT ISN'T THIS JUST GONNA MAKE
THE POPULARITY BEAT-DOWN WORSE?
I MEAN, YOU CALLED YOURSELF THE AMDRAG.
NOBODY AT SCHOOL EVEN KNOWS WHAT THE AMDRAG IS.
BESIDES, THERE'S, LIKE, HALF A MILLION BLOGS OUT THERE.
WHO CARES ABOUT MINE?
Girl: HEY, SARAH, CHECK THIS OUT.
COMING!
LOOKS LIKE THE AMERICAN DRAGON
FINALLY DISCOVERED CYBERSPACE.
AND HE REALLY HATES THIS GUY CALLED ROTWOOD.
I WONDER WHAT HE'S SAYIN' ON HIS BLOG.
I GOT TO TAKE A LOOK.
WHAT SITE'S SHE GOT THERE?
Jake: JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT ROTWOOD COULDN'T GET ANY WORSE...
Rotwood: AND FOR THOSE STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL.
DRAGON DIETARY NEEDS, THE CAFETERIA STAFF HAS PREPARED
AN ALTERNATE LUNCH OF...
[CHUCKLES] BRAVE KNIGHTS AND PRETTY DAMSELS.
HA HA!
[LAUGHTER]
Jake: I MEAN, WHY DOES HE ALWAYS.
GOTTA BE HATIN' ON MAGICAL CREATURES?
YEAH, WHAT'S ROTWOOD'S PROBLEM?
Jake: IF YOU LOOK UP EVIL, LYING,
GOOD-FOR-NOTHING, LOSER PUNK IN THE DICTIONARY,
I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW WHO'S PICTURE YOU'D SEE.
FOR SERIOUS,
I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO GET THAT JERK OUT OF MY LIFE.
HE'D GIVE ANYTHING?
ISN'T THE AMERICAN DRAGON SUPPOSED TO BE,
LIKE, A MILLIONAIRE OR SOMETHING?
REALLY? WELL, HE IS FAMOUS, RIGHT?
AREN'T, LIKE, ALL FAMOUS PEOPLE RICH?
AYE, HE USED TO WORK FOR LEPRECHAUNS, YOU KNOW.
[ALL CHATTERING]
WHAT'S GOING ON?
SOME KIND OF MILLION DOLLAR REWARD
FOR A HUMAN CALLED ROTWOOD.
WOW, EASY MONEY!
HEY, CHUCK. YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE WHAT I JUST HEARD!
ONLY A COUPLE DAYS LEFT TILL VOTING.
HOW BAD IS MY SCHOOL CRED?
LET ME PUT IT THIS WAY.
IF ANYBODY SAW ME WALKIN' TO SCHOOL WITH YOU,
I'D BE KNOWN AS THE BRIDE OF FREAK-ENSTEIN.
AW, MAN!
THIS IS GONNA GO IN THE YEARBOOK AND EVERYTHING.
WE GOTTA TURN THIS THING AROUND SOMEHOW.
THERE'S GOTTA BE SOMEBODY AT SCHOOL
WHO'S A BIGGER FREAK THAN...
ZOMBIE BAND GEEK!
ARR!
YO, SPUD. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
IF A MONKEY HIDING CHEESE AND A COUPLE OF RAPPING BABIES
CAN BE INTERNET VIDEO STARS, ANYONE CAN!
SO I FIGURED, HEY, I'll JUST DRESS UP AS A ZOMBIE BAND GEEK.
JUMP OUT OF DARK ALLEYS TO SCARE PEOPLE
CATCH IT ON DVD AND... WHAT?
SO, YEAH, THERE'S PROBABLY STILL A FEW KIDS AT SCHOOL
FREAKIER THAN YOU.
YOU MAY BE ALL RIGHT.
IF YOU COULD JUST KEEP AWAY FROM ANY WEIRDO STUFF
FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK.
AAHR!
UHH!
WHOA! JAKEY!
LET ME GO, OR TASTE MY TALONS, YOU FOOL!
HIT-AND-RUN ARTIST, HUH?
WELL, TASTE THIS!
DRAGON UP!
WHO SENT YOU?
I SAW HIM FIRST. HE'S MINE!
AAH! FORGET IT.
NO REWARD IS WORTH THIS.
HEY, I ASKED YOU A QUESTION!
WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?
UH, JAKEY... "ROTWOOD?"
[HUMMING]
YUMMY, YUMMY CRULLER...
MAKES MY TUMMY FEEL MUCH FULLER.
A HA HA HA HA! THAT'S A JOKE.
THAT THING WASN'T AFTER ME AT ALL.
I WAS JUST IN THE WAY OF ITS REAL TARGET.
HMM HMM HMM HMM.
[DRUM ROLL]
WHAT? IT'S FOR DRAMATIC AFFECT.
CRESCENDO, CRESCENDO... SILENCIO!
UGH, DUDE.
CHILLS.
Fu Dog: A MILLION BUCKS? [WHISTLES]
SO, HYPOTHETICALLY, WHO WOULD I TALK TO ABOUT COLLECTING
IF I WAS THINKING, YOU... FU DOG!
WHAT? I'D BUY YA SOMETHIN' NICE.
THAT'S THE THING, FU.
IT DOESN'T SAY WHO'S BEHIND THIS.
WHO WOULD BEAR ILL-WILL TOWARD
A MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL?
[SCOFFS] A MIDDLE SCHOOL?
ROTWOOD TOLD ME HE WAS REAL CLOSE TO FINDING OUT
WHERE MAGUS BAZAAR WAS.
SOME BIG SHOT IN THE MAGIC WORLD MUST HAVE FOUND OUT
AND PUT A PRICE ON HIS CAPTURE...
OR WORSE.
PRINCIPAL ROTWOOD HAS NO IDEA
OF THE DANGER HE IS IN.
AND, IF WE ARE TO KEEP HIM
FROM EXPOSING ANY MAGICAL CREATURES,
HE MUST REMAIN SO.
YOU DON'T EVEN WANT US TO WARN HIM?
NO, I WANT YOU TO PROTECT HIM.
WITHOUT LETTING HIM KNOW YOU ARE DOING IT.
SAY WHAT? HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?
FU DOG AND I WILL SCOUR THE MAGICAL UNDERWORLD
TO FIND OUT WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.
IN THE MEANTIME, YOU MUST FOLLOW ROTWOOD EVERYWHERE.
REMEMBER, ANYONE AND ANYTHING COULD BE A THREAT...
CONSTANT VIGILANCE. [BABIES COOING]
EVEN THE SLIGHTEST DISTRACTION COULD MEAN...
ARTHUR SPUDINSKI!

I CAN'T TELL.
BUT WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S REALLY COLORFUL
AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF 'EM.
SAY WHAT?
SPUD, THIS IS A KALEIDOSCOPE.
YEAH, ALL MY SPY GEAR COMES FROM CEREAL BOXES.
I'M HAVIN' MY DOUBTS ABOUT

OOH, BOY. I JUST HOPE THE KID'S
HAVIN' MORE LUCK THAN WE ARE.
[ALL GROANING]
EW, I GOT BOUNTY HUNTER IN MY MOUTH!
Jake: UHH, GET OFF OF ME! [SMACKING]

ALL POINT BACK HERE TO... HEY.
ISN'T THAT LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE AND DAME DOWNER?
SO, WITH ALL THE ROTWOOD CRAZINESS THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS
IT LOOKS LIKE YOU SUNK A LITTLE MORE
ON THE POPULARITY SCALE.
HOW FAR?
UH, I WOULD SAY RIGHT AROUND THE KID
WHO SHOVED THE BUG UP HIS NOSE.
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
IT'S JUST ONE MORE DAY TILL VOTING, JAKEY.
MAYBE IF YOU COULD JUST, YOU KNOW,
CHILL WITH THE FREAKINESS TILL THEN.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
I'M GETTING ATTACKED BY MUD, GUMMED BY OLD WERE-LADIES.
HOW AM I NOT SUPPOSED TO FREAK OUT
WHEN EVERYBODY I SEE COULD BE A MAGICAL
BOUNTY HUNTER TRYIN' TO... WAIT.
DOES THAT EGG-SALAD SANDWICH LOOK FUNNY TO YOU?
EGG-SALAD SANDWICHES ALWAYS LOOK FUNNY TO ME.
I CALL THEM THE STAND-UP COMEDIANS OF THE DELI WORLD.
AAAH!
UHHHH!

THEY ACTUALLY THOUGHT THERE WAS A BOUNTY FOR THIS BOZO?
COULD PEOPLE BE ANY MORE IGNORANT?
THEN YOU KNOW HOW THIS HAPPEN?
WHAT VISION HAVE YOU SEEN?
I TOLD YOU THE INTERNET WOULD TAKE THE MAGIC OUT OF MAGIC.
EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED IS ALL HIS FAULT.
HE'S ALWAYS BEEN OUT TO GET ME, BUT NOW...
[CELL PHONE RINGS]
[BEEP] YO, FU,

THEY TOOK IT ALL OUTTA CONTEXT.
NOT THAT IT WASN'T PRETTY INFLAMMATORY IN CONTEXT.
I MEAN, WOOF.
OH, MAN, I... I GOTTA...
UH, EVERYTHING'S COOL WITH ME AND ROTWOOD NOW.
NO NEED FOR ANY UGLY STUFF.
"IT WAS ALL A MISUNDERSTANDING?"
UGH, NO WAY!
THE ROTWOOD BEAST MUST BE FORCING HIM TO SAY THESE LIES.
WE HAVE TO FREE THE LADDY!
[ALL AGREEING]
UH, KID?
MAYBE THE JOURNALISM BUSINESS AIN'T FOR YOU.
[DISMAYED UTTERANCE]
AND, SO, FELLOW FILLMORE MIDDLE SCHOOLIANS,

OHH, DUKEDULLY-BOBBLEDY, ARE THOSE...
MAGICAL? YEAH.
BUT TRUST ME, YOU DO NOT WANT TO MEET THEM RIGHT NOW.
COME ON,
I GOTTA SHOW YOU SOMETHING.
WHOO!
ACH, I'M FLYING! WHEE!
I... I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE CREATURES ATTACKING ME?
AND YOU THINK MY HAIRDO "LOOKS LIKE A CAN OF UGLY EXPLODED?"
I'M SORRY.
I JUST THOUGHT MY BLOG WAS A PLACE TO VENT.
IT'S THE INTERNET, RIGHT?
YOU CAN SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT.
GOSSIP IS GOSSIP, JAKE.
AND IT IS POISONOUS NO MATTER WHAT FORM IT TAKES.
[SIGHS]
AH... WHO AM I TO TALK, HUH?
I DESERVE ALL OF THIS.
HAVE BEEN VERY UNFAIR VITH YOU JAKE.
OF ALL PEOPLE, I SHOULD KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE
TO BE RIDICULED FOR TRYING
TO BRING TOGETHER THE HUMAN AND MAGICAL WORLDS.
AH, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, WHEE...
I SUPPOSE I CAN START A SECOND CAREER TEACHING COMBAT JUGGLING.
ACTUALLY...
I THINK I MAY HAVE A WAY TO MAKE US BOTH HAPPY.
IF YOU'RE WILLING TO TRUST ME.
WHERE... AM I?
IT'S REALLY HIM.
OH, HE'S SO HIDEOUS. WHO GETS THE REWARD?
LISTEN UP, PEOPLE.
I KNOW A LOT OF Y'ALL BEEN OUT
FOR THAT MILLION DOLLAR REWARD.
BUT YOU'RE TOO LATE!
THE ROTWOOD BEAST HAS BEEN CLAIMED
BY THE AMDRAG.
THAT'S IT, GAME OVER, THE REWARD IS MINE.
[MOANING AND GROANING]
WAIT...
WASN'T HE THE ONE WHO PUT UP THE REWARD IN THE FIRST PLACE?
EH, WHO CAN REMEMBER WHO THESE THINGS GET STARTED?
THAT'S THE BEST I CAN DO FOR NOW.
THEY'LL LEAVE YOU ALONE, BUT YOU MIGHT WANT TO KEEP AWAY
FROM THE MAGICAL WORLD FOR A WHILE.
UNICORNS! HA HA! AND, LOOK, A PIXIE!
AH, TROLLS! LEPRECHAUNS!
OOH! THIS IS ZE BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT ANYONE HAS EVER GIVEN ME!
HO HO! I CAN'T STAND IT!
YOU ARE ALL SO FASCINATING.
GET AWAY FROM ME!
OOH! I AM A LIFE-LONG FAN!
BACK OFF! BACK OFF, YOU!
BREATH-TAKING!
STOP TOUCHING ME!
SO, THAT IS WHY I HAVE DECIDED TO STRIKE THE CATEGORY
OF BIGGEST WEIRDO FREAK FROM THIS YEAR'S MOSTS AND BESTS BALLOT.
AND IN A COMPLETELY UNRELATED MATTER,
APPARENTLY, A FEW OF MY FANTASY FICTION STORIES
GOT ALL JUMBLISH, NO GOOD, WITH MY PERMANENT RECORD FILES.
IF I HAVE ACCIDENTALLY CREATED ANY RUMORS ABOUT JAKE LONG,
I HEREBY PUT AN END TO THEM.
THAT IS ALL.
THANKS. IT WAS OUR DEAL.
BESIDES, I SHOULD BE THANKING YOU.
I HAVE SEEN THE MAGUS BAZAAR WITH MEIN OWN EYES!
OH, IT IS ENOUGH TO FEEL I HAVE
FINALLY MADE SOMETHING OF MY LIFE'S WORK!
GOOD TO HEAR IT. WELL...
LATER. TA.
OF COURSE, A LITTLE VIDEO EVIDENCE
FOR THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY WOULDN'T HURT.
COME ON, UPLOAD TO MY WEBPAGE.
SHOW ME THAT DRAGON ACTION!
BEEPS.
ZOMBIE BAND-GEEK! RAWOR!
VAS IN HIMMEL!
HEY, HOW 'BOUT THAT.
LOOK AT ME, HEY, I MADE IT

[GERMAN ACCENT] OOK! WHAT A MAJOR OOPSIE I HAVE COMMITTED!
BETTER LUCK NEXT BIRTHDAY.
RMMMM... JAKE LOOOONG!
Grandpa: SO, NOW I AM BLOXING? BLOGGING.
SO NOW I AM BLOGGING?
ACTUALLY, GRAMPS,
YOU'RE NOT REALLY BLOGGING UNTIL YOU TYPE SOMETHING.
BUT WHAT DO I TYPE?
JUST... WHATEVER.
TYPE WHAT YOU FEEL.
HOW DO YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW?
HUNGRY.
[SPEAKING CHINESE]
I FAIL TO SEE THE FUN IN THIS BLOGGING.
[SIGHS] NEVER MIND, G.
