    Jake gts in trouble with his dad a lot cause he has to lie about Magical Creatures.his mom thinks it's better cause his dad could never handle it.

    Jake gets a magical device that lets a person travel back in time,he thinks of the letter his mom told him about-a letter that explains how she's in a family of dragons-.Jake and Fu go to 1986 to see give his dad the letter.

    1986,not the most fashionable year-Jake's parents truly like each other-and his dad was a lot like him when he was a teen,break-dances,falls down stairs,has love intersts in pretty/dngerous girls.Jake's mom/Susan,almost give him the letter but decided not to,so Jake takes in and put it in his/Johnathn's locker.

    Johanthn freaks out,duh,uses the word moster,kinda harsh, and brek up with mom.Fu says if they don't make-up Jake won't be born(neither will Haley).

    2006 Fu talks to 1996 Fu,and tells him to leave so 06' can talk to Grandpa/Lo-Shi(not a grandpa yet).thinking he won't like his daughter heartbroken,he'd help them, he is dead wrong!

    Gramps-(sad)Susan and Johnathn broke up?...(happily talks in Chinese)THANK the sweet heavens!i've been praying she's cast off the meathead-moral for months!
    Fu-what?No,u have to convince her to get back with Johnathn!
    Gramps-oh,alright,i will help my only daughter devoted the rest of her life to this rediculouis non-magical mistfit.
    Fu-really?
    Gramps-N0T!

    Johnthn of course misses Susan but it still freak out,so he calls a love line,which is relly the Hunstclan,and tells them about the beach party.

    o,long story short-

    Hunstman had squeaky voice when he was younger,many teased him for it.

    Grandpa no like Jake's dad,but think Jake would better fit Susan-whoa,his grandson marrying his own mom.

    Gramps-who are u?
    Jake-i'm....Beyonce Timberlake,i'm the Candain Dragon,Ace.
    Susan-Beyonce Timberlake?what kinda bogus name is that?
    Gramps-prehaps,the name of ur future husband?
    Jake/his mom-GR0SS!
    Susan-dad,i still love Johnthn!
    Gramps-i understand,my lotous fower,a broken heart needs time to heal.....time up!
    (pushes them in cab,mom looks mad at him through window)
    Gramps-Joan's beach,and have them back a midnight,(smile)

    Fu steal's Johnthn's puzzel thing,looks like cubix triangular,though.Susan thinks he'll never accept her,so she leaves,just when Johthn comes.

    Jake-see,this is me,u,mom and ur daughter,were a real happy family,except u ground me.....alot.
    Johnthn-yeah,look What-ever-ur-name-is,this is the worst day of my life-th girl of my dreams is a dragon!there's dog slobber on my puzzelgame and i can't keep my collar up to save my life,so if this is sme kind of sick joke-
    Jake-Dragon Up!
    Dragon Jake-now do u belive me?

    he fanits,Hunst-geek shows up,Jake laffs at voice,Hunstman kidnapps Jake's dad...

    Susan-no.N0,this is all my flaut!it's because of my letter!Dad,we have to save him!
    Gramps(not worried)there,there,my sweet,we will try,although,my daughter,there are still plenty of fish in the sea...
    Susan-Daddy!
    Gramps-fine,i was just putting it out there.
    Jake-how do we find him?
    Gramps-i didn't wan to show u this,but i have been using this to keep track of Johnthn on ur dates...
    Susan-DADDY!how could u?
    Gramps-my darling,i may have the power of a great dragon warrior,but i am also a single dad.

    at the Hunstlair,Johthn tells the Hunstclan his darkest secerts,andmoreless

    I have to say this was one of my favorite episodes of the season so far. While the plot may have been one that been re-used several times before the spin on it they did involiving this programs history was worth seeing. The scenes shift from action to comedy to drama and back to action again multiple times. Also a first is the first time the family secret they kept from Dad being used for something other than purely comedic purposes. When Jake asks his Mom about not telling him and she shows hil her school year book of the two of them together in school you get a sense of how this has been affecting her.

     This episode isn\\\'t all gloom and doom though, Jake and Fu provide the action and comedy to the story both with flashbacks and interaction with the characters. The younger Jonathan\\\'s reaction is similar to most what human reactions would be and seeing Jake desperately try to rectify the situation was worth it. I won\\\'t give away too many spoilers for those who haven\\\'t seen it yet but alot of stuff about the present is shown. And this is one episode I will remember.moreless

    i liked this episode alot. i like shows when they go back in time cuz i like seeing what people were like, also i liked the fact that jake wanted his to know he was a dragon. i didnt really like the ending tho. i dont understand why they didnt want him to remember what happened, i dont see the harm in jakes dad knowing but whatever. all in all tho it was a very good episode.moreless

    ADD TRIVIA

    • Shouldn't Young Gramps realize the Fu Dog with Jake isn't the same Fu Dog from his time?

    • The 1980's Fu Dog seemed to be quite different from his present-time version but Season 1 episode 'Fu and Tell' shows Fu Dog on his present-time look during all his flashback battles against Yan-Yan.

    • Jake falls to the stands in his human form after getting beaten by the Huntsman. This means that the Huntsman saw him and now he could probably knows his identity!

    • GOOF: In the beginning of the episode, Susan tell Jake that they were seniors in high school.yet when Jake and Fu Dog go to the past, Jake says"Hey look its my school!" but in the episode 'dreamscape" Jake says he doesn't want to stay back in 7th grade! so it means its a middle school, but Susan says it's a high school. Reply. Well maybe the school is like 6-12? Or maybe it was a high school and they changed it too a middle school, ever think of that?

    • In the last credit with the Mona Lisa you can see that Mona Lisa has eye brows, however, in actuality the mona lisa had no eyebrows.

    • In the first scene, the Yankees are wearing their dark away uniforms. They should be wearing their white pinstripes.

    • In the scene with the young Huntsman, the detenator is an unaverage seven seconds in timing.

    • During a majority of this episode, and factoring the setting of said majority, a myriad of "Super Mario Brothers" sound effects can be heard, including getting coins, hitting a koopa, and the Klown Car from "Super Mario World."

    • Gramps: The caged lion does not roar because it is caged. It roars because... Iyaa! Jake: That's a new one. Gramps: No, it's my back! I fell off a ladder the day we opened up the shop! Fu Dog: Tell me about it. I'm the one you fell on!

    • Teen-Jonathan: It's my latest breakdance move, sweet potato. I call it my puff-o-lackin' electric zappin' boogaloo sluggin' flip-tastic shovel. Whattaya think.

    • Young-Susan: I'll see you at the beach party tonight. Young-Jonathan: Till then sugar num-nums! (Falls down the stairs) I'm okay!! Jake: I'm amazed he made it to adulthood!

    • Huntsman: For the last time, if you value your life, you will tell me everything you know. Young-Jonathan: I will tell you, nothing! Huntsman: Very well. (Opens up a secret door filled with weapons and a trapped door on the floor with a monster. Jonathan is scared.) Young-Jonathan: I'll tell you everything! Okay in the 10th grade I filled my teacher's trunk with green bean salad. (the huntsmen look confused) In the 7th grade I drove my lawn mower over our sister's inflatable pool and blamed it on rats. And in 6th grade I took all the money I made trick-or-treating for the less fortunate and spent it at the arcade!!

    • Jake: Uhh...my name is....Beyonce, Timberlake! I'm the Canadian dragon, eh? Young-Susan: Beyonce Timberlake!? What kind of bogus name is Beyonce Timberlake!? Young-Gramps: Perhaps the name of your future husband. (moves Jake's and Susan's hands together) Jake & Susan: Uhh! Young-Susan: As if! Dad, I still love Johnathan! Young-Gramps: I understand my Lotus flower, a broken heart needs time to heal. Well times up! (whistles for a taxi, pays the cab driver money) Jone's Beach, keep the meter running and half them back by midnight!

    • Jake: (pulls out a family picture) See, that's you, and that's mom, and that's me, and that's your daughter. We're really a happy family. Except you ground me, a lot.

    • (Young Huntsman throws bomb) Fu Dog: No way am I fetching that!

    • Jake: It's you! The Huntsman! Dude, what's with the voice? You sound like an accordion stuck in a woodchipper!

    • Teen-Jonathan: Susan, look! It's Ha-ley's Comet! Teen-Susan: I thought it was pronounced Haley. Haley, I've always liked that name...

    • (John, Jake's Dad, leaves after reducing Jake's punishment to just a warning) Jake: Thanks, mom. Susan: Of course. I just hate seeing you get punished for something you didn't... What the?! Time traveling?! And on a school night?! You are grounded young man! No TV! NO video games! Two weeks! Jake: Aw man.

    • Young Hunts-boy 1: Oh please tell me we caught that on the surveillance camera. Somebody go get the tape. Young Hunts-boy 2: Dude! Dude, did you hear him? He was all like, (in a cracking voice)"Say goodbye Dragon." Then he was all, (same cracking voice) "No! Help me! It hurts! Ow!" (3 Hunts-boys laugh) Younger Huntsman: (getting up as his voice finally changes) Dragons! I am going to slay each and every one of them if it takes until the end of time! (screaming putting his fist in the air) AR-GH!
