"Keeping Shop" is the nineteenth episode of the Disney Channel Original series American Dragon: Jake Long.
Plot[]
The episode starts off with two goblins kidnapping a pixie, but Jake comes in and flies right after them but they move out of the way and he crashes into the wall. Trixie and Spud tell Jake that they have his back, but the goblins grab them, saying, "It appears as if we have yours". Jake saves them and they run away. Trixie and Spud feel guilty because they have messed up. Jake and asks if they want to help him take the pixie out of the cage, but Spud shakes the cage and messes up.
Jake and Grandpa go away on a dragon retreat, leaving Spud in charge, but Jake reminds Grandpa of the last time they left him alone, so now Trixie, Spud and Fu Dog are in charge of the shop while they are gone.
After they leave, Spud grows extra arms and lots of other weird things happen to him. It seems that he didn't listen when Fu Dog told him not to touch anything. When he calls to re-order things, Fu Dog's friend says that that a group of trolls have begun terrorizing Magus Bazaar. Fu tells Trixie and Spud that they only need to dress up as dragons, and the Trolls will be scared off because they fear dragons. So Trixie and Spud put on a dragon costume and go to Magus Bazaar.
In the Magus Bazaar, their plan starts to work. The trolls get scared but, then Trixie insults their Mama, angering the trolls. The trolls close in on Trixie and Spud, and just as they are about to attack the sun comes out and turns them to stone.
Fu Dog tells Trixie and Spud that this gives them a day to figure out what to do. Fu Dog mixes up a potion which will give Trixie and Spud the powers of a dragon. Fu Dog stars putting Trixie and Spud in training so they will get better at using the dragon powers. Every time Trixie and Spud get the hang of flying or using fire, or using their tails in battle, Fu Dog gets hurt. He tries to write a will, but sees Trixie and Spud handling everything well, but when they can't stop they crash into Fu Dog. They say that they need to practice stopping, but Fu Dog tells them that they need to practice in battle because it is time.
In Magus Bazaar, they defeat most of the trolls, but when Mama comes, Trixie is about to insult her. Spud pulls her in and says that they are going to work together, but Mama pulls off their costume and they start running with Fu Dog. They go into the shop and hide, but the trolls come in. Trixie and Spud start fighting without powers, but Spud gives Fu Dog the idea to use the "Instant Sunshine" potion to turn Mama into stone. Fu Dog throws it, and it opens and turns Mama into stone. The trolls then run away.
The next day, Jake and Grandpa arrive at the shop, where everything is clean and perfect, except for the electronics that are destroyed. When Jake and Grandpa go in they see that everything is neat, but Grandpa slips and sees motorcycle tracks on the ceiling. Trixie, Spud and Fu Dog say, "Aw, man!" as the episode ends.
