Yami: So, my hikari was reading this Spiritshipping fic, and it was a fifty song type thing and she begged me to do it. So, here goes I guess... I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Jesse Anderson or Jaden Yuki. I do, however, own the plot ideas, a copy of each song I'm gonna use, and the OC Keelan. Hikari Mel owns the OC Ryan, and a friend of ours- who shall be known as Jessica- owns the OC Matthias. I wasn't gonna use them, I hate it when people see how Mary/Gary Sue/Stu-ish they turn out. Buut~ Hikari wanted me to do it. Hopefully they aren't generic, and tell me if they are, yada yada. The OCs act pretty much like their creators though... So...

Hikari: If anyone else has OCs they'd like included-

Yami: You mean if someone actually reads this?

Hikar: Shush. If you'd like yours included, Yami'd like to know. Or requests. This is also a bit AU-ish. The card game still exists, but they're at a normal boarding school, and Jesse's been there since Freshaman Year (Season 1). Duel Spirits still exist, but are more common; kinda like pets. And other's can see them, since they aren't as rare I guess. This ain't my story, I dunno. Oh, and be gentle. Yami hasn't seen the episode where Jaden meets Jess... Or alot of the series actually. She only just started watching, ya know?

Yami: And since this is a early birthday/ late Christmas present for her, it'd be cheating to ask her for help... And all songs are gonna be from my mp3, Hikari's iPod, or 'Jessica's'. And if anyone wants to collab on this damn thing, please. Ask. I need all the help I can get.

Hikari: Enjoy! Read and review

Song 1- Just So You Know. Jessey McCartney -Yami's mp3-

Jesse sat with his back against the door to his room, sighing as he ran a hand through his blue hair. He squeezed his eyes shut, horrified to find his bestfriend's face in his mind. He bit his lip, setting his forehead on his knees. He couldn't describe it, nor did he really want to.

The way he wished he could just hold him when he was sad, feel his soft hair between his fingers. He wanted to taste-

He jolted into an upright position; startled by the thought, and the pounding on the door. "Jesse! Ya gotta come see these!" Jesse's heart seized at Jaden's voice, and he stood up. He put on a brave smile, and opened the door.

"Yeah, Jay? What'cha got there?" Jaden held up the newest booster packs.

"I went a little crazy and got you some too. I'm not really sure if they'll fit into your deck, but-"

"Thanks Jay," Jesse smiled, reaching out and squeezing his friend's shoulder. Jaden smiled brightly, holding out the small pack.

Maybe loving him wasn't so bad… He'd just have to hide it.

"Come on, Jess, I think the others said something about a picnic." Jesse hesitated, but carefully slipped the new cards into his deck box. After an embarrassign change of clothes, -there wqas no way he'd be wearing a long sleeve and vest out in ninety-five degree weather.- he followed Jaden from the room, easily following the energetic brunette as he ran towards a familiar cliff. Their friends, and three students who generally kept to themselves, were arranged on multiple large blankets. One of the girls, a smiling blonde, held out her hand to Jaden when he flopped down across from her.

"Hi," she said. Jaden smiled back, shaking her hand. Jesse smiled too, repeating the gesture after he'd sat down. "I'm Ryan," she pouted at the weird looks she recieved fromt he two. (A/N: Hikari actually knows a girl named Ryan.) "My parents were expecting a boy."

"Oooh." Jaden nodded, asx though he completely understood. Jesse rolled his eyes playfully. " 'M Jaden." he told the girl. She smiled slightly, pulling her arms around her. Though it was perfect outside, if a little hot, the girl seemed content to keep her body heat to herself. "This is my friend Jesse."

"I know," she quipped. JEsse raised an eyebrow, taking a sip from his soda. He thought the girl might've looked just a tad familiar. "I saw him once when my parents were considering sending me to the American Academy. He helped me when my bag fell." Oh, well that explained it.

"Ooh, ain't he a gentleman." a soft voice drawled. The two teen boys looked at the black haired boy who'd said it. He had an arm around the redheaded girl's shoulder, and she was squirming in what appeared to be an attempt at escape. Jesse's suspicions were proven when she muttered about it being too hot. "I'm Keelan. Matty, be nice." she added as an afterthought. She finally escaped, and reached for the unopened Dr. Pepper next to Jesse's Coke. "You're the guy with the Crystal Beasts, right?" she asked the teal eyed boy. Jesse nodded slightly, noting how the one deemed Matty pouted. He grinned, his usual personality finally showing through.

"Yep," he proclaimed, absently touching the box on his belt. It was partially hidden under his long white band shirt. "What kinda deck do you use?" the girl grinned, obviously thrilled to have found an interesting topic. The two launched into a discussion, comparing cards across the striped blanket. Jaden watched with interest, claiming a pack of cookies for himself. He occasionally broke into the conversation, asking the girl about her cards.

"What part of, 'Relax, it's the weekend', don't those three get?" Alexis complained. Chazz rolled his eyes, but didn't answer. Instead he bit into a strawberry he'd plucked from her plate. "Hey!"

"Eh," he looked back at Bastion, who he'd been talking to beforehand.

"Ooh, so if I was to play this one, it'd beat that?"

"Maybe not beat, but weaken a little." Jaden was instructing the girl. She appeared to be new at the game. Jesse watched, smiling into his soda. That was when he noticed the rather dark, blotchy mark on the girl's neck.

"Did you get punched in the neck?" (1) Jaden asked, naively. Matty looked up, grinning when he saw the blush.

"Uh, y-yeah. Somethin' like that." she shoved a grape in her mouth, trying not to look at anyone. Jesse smiled sympathetically.

"Aw, don't be that way." Matty told her, leaning forward to nip at the spot. Jaden looked to Jesse, confused. The look he gave him, nearly made Jesse lose his resolve. It took all he had to grin, to not pounce on the boy.

"It's a hickey, Jay. Y'know, ya suck on the skin and bite." if looks could kill, the poor Southerner would've dropped dead at that point. Ryan was trying to hide her amusement at her friend's expense, asking Hassleberry about what Australia had been like.

"Ooh... I still don't get it." Jaden pouted. Alexis grinned, an idea sparked in her mind. She turned to Blair, brown eyes full of innocence.

"Why don't you show him, Blaire?" the girl blushed slightly, but could see no problem with it. She leaned across Alexis, carefully latching onto Jaden's neck. Jesse quelled a spark of jealousy- barely. Jaden turned bright red, frozen in place. When Blaire pulled back- just as red- Jaden nodded. He now sported a smaller version of Keelan's mark.

"A-ah." Jesse looked back at Keelan's cards, trying to ignore the odd feeling in his chest. He pulled out the extra booster pack his friend had grabbed- how he grabbed three instead of two, was beyond him.- and opened it. He slid the cards into her deck, cutting it into three pieces and shuffling. "Someone pass me a Pepsi!" Jaden called loudly, Chazz wincing and rubbing his ear.

"Keep it down, no need to shout at the Chazz. (A/N Yami: I couldn't resist and I blame Ex-Shadow and Malindachan on youtube.) I hear you just fine." he handed the brunette one, earning a big grin. "It's impossible not to."

"The Chazz? What are you, some kinda wanna be superhero?" he turned to glare at Ryan, who'd said it with a perfectly calm, straight face. (A/n Yami: Hikari is a complete Chazz fangirl, so if they end up sharing feelings it ain't my fault. Besides, it's a birthday/Christmas fic.) Jesse watched the two, snickering at the look on the elitist's face. He turned back to find Jaden in his personal space, face clsoe to his as he grasped for his abandoned pack of cookies. The teal student blinked, leaning back and blushing.

"You okay, Jess?" the brunette asked when he sat back. He watched as his friend took a bite out of the cookie. "You need to lay down?"

"Uh... no. I'm fine." he said, shaking himself to rid his head of thoughts; thoughts of kissing Jaden.

The group of students spent the rest of the afternoon on the cliff. Getting acquainted with the new trio of friends, eating, tellnig stories, and dueling. And as Jesse made his way back to his room, sweaty and tired, he realised something.

That had been the best first day back, ever.

Yami: God, that sucked. I really don't like Chazz/Alexis, btw. And it's a present... So nyeh...

Hikari: Me and 'Jessica' liked it...

1- Yami had a hickey and she told 'Jessica's step sister that she'd been punched in the neck
