Suan and Haley Long Swim

It seems that Susan Long and Haley Long of Disney's Jake Long American Dragon are having a bad day, being kidnapped in matching Chinese Cheongsam dresses.  Now they have been dropped into the ocean and I am sure Jake will be there soon to rescue them.  This is a request by :icongodzilla19943: based on this picture.

Susan Long, née Luong, is a dragon who appears as a Chinese woman. She is Jake and Haley's mother, daughter of the previous Chinese Dragon Lao Shi, and Jonathan's wife.

Despite being born to a bloodline of Chinese dragons, Susan did not inherit any dragon powers because the magic skipped her generation as sometimes will, and thus she is locked in human form. She owns her own catering service which has been known to service premiere events such as the televised wedding of famous soap opera stars Thad Rochefort-Chaise and Jasma Sancere.

Ever since senior year of high school, Susan refrained from telling Jonathan the truth about her family of "magical reptiles", having been reluctant to reveal it to him while trying to work up the courage to tell him that magical creatures are real out of fear of how he would react – that he would freak out and possibly leave her, which he nearly did. Jake learned that she had written a letter while they were dating, explaining her family's dragon heritage, but had never given it to him. Using time travel, Jake took the note and put it in his father's locker, causing him to actually leave her until Jake could straighten everything up. She's been trying to work her way to tell him that magical creatures are real. She was finally forced to reveal everything to Jonathan after he accidentally walked in on Haley in dragon-form. Not only did he take it well, much to Susan's relief, but he immediately proceeded to help Jake after discovering the trouble they were in. Susan took part in the final battle with the Dark Dragon, the first and only time in the series she participated in a battle, destroying some of the Shade Demons with a camera flash.

Haley Kay Long is Jake's intelligent, goody-two-shoes little sister. She, and many others, think she is cute.

Like Jake, Haley also has dragon powers. A prodigy in everything else, her dragon heritage, while not yet fully developed, start to express themselves at a much earlier age than Jake's did. Part of that may be due to dragon girls developing their powers earlier than boys, as her mother Susan Long, explained.
Haley takes pride in exposing Jake's mischievous behavior to their parents, as well as showing off her own "superior" talents. At first only able to express isolated parts of her dragon form, such as her claws, snout, wings or tail. after about a year she was already able to perform a full body morph into her adolescent dragon form, prompting her to begin her own dragon training under Sun Park's guidance as the reserve or substitute American Dragon should Jake be unable to fully perform his duties. Haley took many aspects of her training with Sun Park and applied them in her daily life, which put her at odds when compared with average and normal human kids her age.
Haley also takes delight in making her brother look less than competent as a dragon. However, like most troublesome siblings, she actually has a deep-rooted respect for Jake, and  when she was required to step up and take on the duties of Substitute American Dragon for two weeks, she fully realized exactly what all her brother had to deal with on a daily basis. After nearly having her "perfect" school performance levels drop drastically and nearly suffering a breakdown, if a rare case of openly supporting her brother, Haley openly admitted that Jake had been for his age doing a far better job balancing his human life against his magical duties than she was able to do, and that the adults needed to "step off" and allow him the chance to occasionally be a teenage boy. Just before that, Haley had been so concerned with being a Good Girl that she has never intentionally gotten into trouble or broke rules; that doing something bad was against her nature. Something she did one day by completely breaking character to live a day as a Bad Girl, and in reaping the consequences learned the value of balancing fun with her ridged life.
She was present when Rose betrayed Jake before, in turn, destroying the Huntsclan. She also took part in the final battle against the Dark Dragon in Hong Kong, when her father learned the truth about his dragon daughter and family. Showing how far she had grown in just two years, Haley was able to to be happy for her older brother, cheering when he was reunited with Rose in the aftermath of banishing the Dark Dragon through a magical portal which would not open again for a thousand years.

Haley possesses all the abilities of a young dragon her age. Like Jake, they have yet to reach their full potential. Instead of going into a situation without a strategy she always thinks of a plan needing little to no violence. She also always manipulates her enemies into giving up. Although she was not as strong as Jake or older dragons she was way faster.
