This is nice, isn't it?
(EXHALES) Well, except for the part where my fingers turn into popsicles.
Yeah, it is nice to finally be done with the secrets.
-The lies. -The you trying to slay me,
stuff me and mount me on your mantle.
It's all so weird. The Huntsman always taught me
that dragons were disgusting and... ugh.
-What? -It's the Huntsman.
Ever since I left the academy, he's been keeping a close watch.
It's like I have to prove myself all over again,
and don't know what he's plotting.
(SIGHS) Us spending time together right now,
it's just too risky.
If I need to see you, maybe I should just use my charm bracelet
to talk to you in your dreams, like before.
What's the worst that can happen?
It's not like the Huntsclan's just gonna come charging out of the...
(SCREAMS) Don't let him eat me!
No! (SCREAMING)
-(ALL SCREAMING) -(ROARING)
(COUGHING, GASPING) 88, check it out.
Rose went and found herself a big hunk of man.
-What? No, no, no. -Uh, actually, I'm...

What are those jokers doing in the city?
They work as apprentices for the Huntsman and...

Ha! That'll teach you to mess with the Am-Drag...
Jake, look out! (GRUNTS)
(BOTH GRUNTING)
Yo, man, is she fighting with that dragon?
Ooh, come on, 89. Let's go tell the Huntsman, dude.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
-(ROARING) -(YELPS)
(GRUNTS)
Whoa!
Okay, that was freaky.
So, you up for dinner later?
Jake, we can't.
What if 88 and 89 had seen us fighting together?
We're gonna have to keep our distance from now on.
I'm sorry.

Yeow!
Yikes, bro.
Sounds like Rose-O gave you the old heave-ho.
I'd offer you some advice on how to handle it,
but the Spudster's never faced that kind of rejection from the ladies.
Hey there, Stacey.
What's up, girl?
Ew! (SCREAMS)
Oh, I'll call you.
That's the frustrating part, Spud.
Rose totally digs me!
But she's convinced that spending time together's too dangerous.
You know, Jakey, little miss ninja thang does have a point.
But it's only dangerous if I'm around her as a dragon.
As long as I'm in human form,
we're just two kids who chill at the same school.
Rose and I can totally make this work.
I'm just gonna have to find a way to spend time with her.
(SCRATCHING ON CHALKBOARD)
Attention, hoodlums!
Since Mr. Ugenstein, your science teacher,
is still recovering from last week's Bunsen burner debacle,
I have the distinct pleasure of handing out this week's assignment.
-(STUDENTS GRUMBLING) -BOY: Ah, man.
Enough with your overlapping grumblings!
You will each pair up with a partner
to invent something that will impress the lederhosen off of me.
-Partner? -ROTWOOD: Projects are due Friday.
I will grade you on originality, functionality, and revolutionality.
Jake Long, begin the choosing of the partners.
With pleasure.
Eye of the dragon.
(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)
But Mr... I mean, Principal Rotwood,
-Jake and I can't be partners. -Right, Jake?
Well, I did totally randomly pull your name out of the...
But that doesn't matter, 'cause Jake and I...
Uh... can't stand each other.
I mean, who in their right mind wears that much hair gel?
Say what? Well, your hair's totally...
golden and nice.
Enough! You will be spending a lot of time together this week,
so whatever problems you have with each other,
deal with it!
How about we invent a Pick 'n' Flick?
Automatic nose picker?
Boy, don't make me smack you.
Some people just aren't ready for progress.
(WATCH BEEPING)
Oop. Time for a liberal slathering of lip ointment.
Behold. My winter supply of lip treatments,
face lotions, and petroleum jellies.
Together, they create a fortress of protection
against the harsh elements of mother nature.
Ugh. "Hangnail Helper. Apocalypse Wow."
Spudinsky, you got like 100 different things going on here.
What's up with just one skin product?
That's it! We'll invent one product with 100 uses.
And we shall call it... 100 Use Cream.
Hmm. Well, the name needs work, but let's get fixin' to do some mixin'.
For the record, you don't wear too much hair gel.
Okay, you do. But it's cute.
Look, I know you're totally worried about us hanging out,
But it's out of our hands, right?
I mean, you've got to pass science and I've got to pass science.
You're right. I mean, it's just an innocent school assignment.
So how's tomorrow night sound?
Fourth Street library? Say around 6:00-ish?
It's a date! I mean, study date.
Not even a date. A study adventure. A boring study adventure.
But, but not totally boring.
I'll be looking forward to it.
Guys, check it out.
Operation Rose is officially a go.
One study date will lead to two,
and before you know it, we'll be studying from the book of love.
Ah, the book of love.
I know it well.
Hey there, girl.
-Ugh! (SCREAMS) -(CHUCKLES) It's like I'm a rock star.
So what should I wear? My red jacket?
Or should I mix it up and wear my other red jacket?
Uh, yo, bro? I think you've got bigger problems than what to wear.
Oh, yeah, and it's staring at us from the end of your nose.
Stand back, gramps. I think this thing is gonna blow!
Do not worry, young one.
I am sure the blemish is just the beginning of your molting cycle.
Now tell me again about the serpent you encountered.
Well, let's see. It had this freaky skull around its neck, and...
I have a molting cycle?
Oh, sure, a dragon sheds its skin every 10 years or so.
Didn't anybody ever tell you?
Uh, I think I'd remember having a discussion
about my skin peeling off my body!
Listen, kid, before you go making a mountain out of a molehill,
let me ask you this.
You know how a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly
is a perfectly natural and beautiful process?
Yeah?
Good, 'cause molting's nothing like that. Gu-gu.
Oh, it starts with a zit.
Then it turns into a hundred zits.
Then before you know it, your flesh turns grayer and lumpier
than a big old bowl of expired oatmeal.
Say what?
I have a study date with Rose tomorrow night,
who, until a few months ago, thought dragons were sick and nasty.
Look kid, there's no reason you can't go about your business as usual.
Take the old man, for example.
He could've let molting get in the way of his singles cruise to Boca last year,
but he didn't.
Welcome to the Lido deck, ladies.
The water's F-I-N-E, fine!
Quiet.
We have much more serious matters to worry about than... ah-yah!
Jake, you must tell me.
Is this the serpent you encountered?
Yeah. Why? Gramps, what is it?
A guardian serpent.
You fools!
How could you let the serpent get away?
Okay, check it out.
See, we were opening up a can of Hunts-smack on that smack sucker.
Especially me, but out of nowhere, Pow! Zing! Hyah! Huntsgirl tags in,
and starts fighting side by side with a dragon. For real!
What? (HESITATES) Master, I was left fighting against the dragon
and the serpent after these two ran away like cowards.
I know you are, but what am I?
Silence! I want that serpent, not excuses.
But, Master, if I may ask,
-what is it about this... -...creature that's so important?
The serpent guards one of 13 mystical Aztec skulls.
It is believed that the skulls, if ever brought together,
would spell certain doom for all magical creatures.
That's gotta be what the Huntsman's been planning.
And if he gets a hold of the rest of the skulls...
I shall finally have the power to wipe out magical creatures forever!
(LAUGHING MANIACALLY)
Morning, guys. What's up?
Hey, Jake, how's it... (SCREAMS)
Sweet fancy mustard!
Dude, what happened to your face?
What? Oh, this? Just a little, you know, molting.
It's a whole once-every-10-year dragon thing.
Oh, man, is it that noticeable?
(BOTH RETCHING)
-You good. -Looking good, bro.
What am I thinking? I can't go to school like this,
let alone go with Rose tonight.
Okay, dude, I got an idea.
Last night, me and Trix developed a prototype
of our 100 uses cream.
But we only came up with 99 uses.
Yeah! Maybe tightening dragon skin can be use 100.
After all, we did mix in some of Grandma Carter's firming eye gel.
Lay it on me. I'll try anything.
Well, is it helping?
Yeah, if by helping you mean making it get nasty!
Jake!
Oh, man.
Jake, I was calling you.
Oh, you were saying Jake?
'cause I thought you were saying, um, steak.
Why would I be saying... I need to talk to you about...
Sorry, now's not a good time.
I gotta go, um, find homes for stray pigeons.
Stupid! Stupid!
-Uh, is everything okay? -(SCHOOL BELL RINGS)
Mm-hmm. Let's talk later, okay?
But Jake, I need to tell you something.
-Rose. -Huh?
-Hey. -Jake? Why are you...
Stay back.
Never mind. There's something I'm trying to tell about tonight.
Me, too. I've been thinking about what you said this morning,
And you're right. We can't see each other for a while.
Not even at school.
-What? -It's just too dangerous.
-I'm sorry. -But Jake, I...
I have to talk to you about the Huntsman's plan.
88, check it out. The dragon!
HUNTSBOY #88: Ooh, and Huntsgirl.
Yo, this proves something is going on between them!
Tonight after our mission,
I am telling Huntsman what's up.
(SNORING)
(DISCO MUSIC PLAYING)
Garçon, toilet water all around, and keep it running.
Fu Dog? Oh! Ew.
Hey, Rose. What are you doing in my dream?
Something important I need to tell Jake.
But he's acting weird and won't let me tell him.
So I'm hoping I can tell you to tell him.
Interesting. Do tell.
The Huntsman has tracked down the guardian serpent to a cavern in Central Park.
I'm supposed to retrieve the skull tonight with 88 and 89,
but it's imperative that Jake get there first and intercept it.
Okay, I'll be sure to tell him just as soon as I wake up.
Now, if you don't mind, I was just about to get my groove on.
(EXCLAIMS)
Ow!
What up, Fu? Bad dream?
You can say that.
Your little sweetheart just interrupted my dream to pass along a message.
-Huh? -You gotta get to Central Park pronto.
Here, snakey, snakey.
Huh?
-(SERPENT ROARING) -(JAKE GRUNTING)
Yo, chill, snake dude.
Just give me the skull and I'm out of here.
(GRUNTS, GROANS)
Well, lookie who it is.
Huntsgirl's B-F-F forever.
Fool, the last "F" stands for forever.
You just said "Best friends forever forever."
-Shut up! -Man, you shut up.
I don't know what either of you are talking about.
Now get that skull!
(BOTH YELL)
(ROARING)
(GRUNTS)
(GRUNTING CONTINUES)
Huh?
(STRAINING)
(ROARING)
(BOTH YELLING)
-(ROARING) -(SCREAMS)
(JAKE GRUNTS)
Here's a tip, fudge chunks.
Never send an apprentice to do a dragon's job.
-Whoa! -(SERPENT ROARING)
(GRUNTING)
All right! We got the skull!
I believe that's mine.
ROSE: Hey!
Man, you just let the dragon get away with the skull.
-No, I didn't... -(EXCLAIMS)
Ooh, someone's about to get
a wicked hard smackdown from the Huntsman,
and her name rhymes with...
S-Smuntsgirl.
So you two honestly believe
that Huntsgirl might be working with the American Dragon?
Master, I was at the library earlier, but I never made contact with that dragon.
For all I know, it's stalking me.
Enough excuses!
Twice you've had the chance to retrieve that skull,
and twice you have failed me.
(BEEPS)
You hardly seem like the same fighter
who slayed her first dragon back at the academy.
Hey, 88, check it out!
It looks exactly like Huntsgirl's B-F-F for... ever.
Hello! Is anybody home? 'Cause that's impossible.
'Cause Huntsgirl already slayed that dragon, remember?
Yes... or did she?
What? This is preposterous.
You were all there.
You saw me slay that dragon.
I want proof. Bring me the pelt of the slain dragon.
And if I refuse?
Then I shall take your refusal as an admission of treason.
You of all people know the consequences of betraying the Huntsclan.
And since I cannot trust any of you to bring me the skull,
I will retrieve it myself.
The Aztec serpent has an innate ability to track the skull taken from it.
It'll use the snake to locate the skull
and the American Dragon.
Yo, what's crack-a-lackin', Jakey?
Me and Spud are here to find a cure for your illin' skin
-once and for all. -Totally!
'Cause as co-founders of 100 Uses Cream Inc.,
we feel your complexion should resemble peaches and cream,
not peaches and creamed corn.
Thanks, guys, but I think my skin might be getting better.
What do you think?
(BOTH GAGGING AND RETCHING)
-I'll take that as a no. -ROSE: Hello?
(DOOR CLOSES)
-Jake! -Rose! This, uh, isn't a good time.
Excuse me, while I, um, use the can.
Yeah, don't mind him. His grandpa made a prune cake.
Jake, you've got to listen to me.
The Huntsman is using the guardian serpent to track the location of the skull.
-What? -They'll be here any second.
You've got to get that thing out of here now!
I'm on it.
Whew! Must have been some prune cake.
JAKE: Rose, stay here!
-Jake, wait! There's something else. -(SERPENT ROARING)
Rose, hide. We can't be seen together.
I'll take care of this.
(ROARING)
(YELLS)
(GRUNTS) I believe your work here is done.
So, Huntspunk, we meet again.
Only this time, you and the skull shall be mine!
(BOTH GRUNTING)
-(GROANS) -At last, dragon,
it is over.
(GRUNTS)
Huh?
Jake, are you all right?
Uh, yeah. The Huntsman.
My staff was set on stun.
He'll only be out for ten, maybe 15 minutes.
Jake, I've got to tell you something. Can you come out here?
Look, 88 and 89 saw us together at the library.
-Say what? -The Huntsman's suspicious.
He's demanding proof I've slain a dragon.
Jake, I'm gonna have to leave the city for good.
Oh, no. This is all my fault.
I set up the whole science partner thing
to prove that us being together wouldn't be dangerous.
Then I end up putting you in danger
all because I was too ashamed to let you see the real me.
The real you?
Filthy, disgusting dragon me.
Jake, I don't care what you look like.
I like you for who you are.
What's under your skin is all that matters.
-(HUNTSMAN GROANING) -I've got to get out of here.
I guess this is good-bye, for good.
Hey, y'all okay?
Dude, what happened?
Rose, you're not going anywhere. I've got an idea.
(GROANING)
Huntsgirl, what, what happened?
You were attacked from behind by the elder dragon.
Luckily, I was able to rescue you.
(GROANING) I, I don't remember seeing the elder dragon at all.
You still question my loyalty?
If my word isn't enough,
here is your proof.
If you need anything else, I'll be in my quarters.
Huntsgirl!
Well done.
Dude, I knew we could find a 100th use
for our 100 Use cream.
Oh, yeah, that's real. One healthy slathering
and your old skin slid off your body like a pair of silk pajamas.
But I haven't heard from Rose. I just hope the Huntsman bought it.
(BELL RINGS)
-Jake Long, why don't you and your partner -(YELPS)
be the first to unveil your magnificent invention.
What? Now? But we didn't get a chance...
-I mean, my partner isn't... -Enough excuses!
Front and center.
And I expect to be dazzled.
Uh, our project is revolutionary...
and, uh...
My partner Rose...
She's here!
Man, am I glad to see you. I got nothing for the project.
Me, neither. What are we gonna do?
My bracelet.
Uh-huh.
Hmm. Interesting.
This looks uncannily similar to the dream charms
I have read about in mythological folklore.
But the slipshod craftsmanship proves otherwise.
As a holographic paperweight, I find it mildly inventive.
"C" minus.
(BOTH SIGH)
I guess I really screwed things up this week.
What matters is that everything turned out okay with the Huntsman.
But I still can't believe you thought I'd freak out about how you looked.
You're a dragon, and I'm cool with that.
So where do we go from here?
Well, the Huntsman's still gonna be keeping a close eye on me.
And determined more than ever to get his hands on the rest of those skulls.
So I guess we really shouldn't hang out anymore.
I'd love to, but it's just too dangerous.
You're right, I...
Did you just say you'd love to?
Dang! Sounds like somebody got it bad for the Jake-man.
In your dreams, honey.
What's this? You're giving me your dream charm?
Actually, I'm giving you your own dream charm.
I figure, since you've got to dream, and I've got to dream...
-See you tonight? -Definitely.
FU DOG: Yeah, I know what we're all asking.
Out of all the Huntsclan trainees,
what made the Huntsman pick these two yahoos as his apprentices?
Was it their courage?
(SCREAMS) Don't leave me!
FU DOG: Their clever wits?
I know you are, but what am I?
FU DOG: I guess we'll never know.
I see from your resumes
that you've slain three dragons, a giant leech,
and a whole pack of manticores.
Welcome aboard.
Let's go hunting.
HUNTSBOY #88: Uh, he does know that was all in a video game, right?
HUNTSBOY #89: Mm, mm, mm, mm.
