Yu-Gi-Oh! GX – Spin The Bottle
"Party list…" Blair Flannigan said, keeping Chazz's duelist room to herself, and looking over a small notepad. "Let's see…drinks, food, movies, cards, good music…" Blair flipped a page. "…and what else?" Blair stared blankly at her notes before snapping her fingers. "Oh! I almost forgot!"
Blair immediately ran upstairs and started rummaging through random junk. Eventually, she found an old shoe box and opened it. An eerie green light emanated from inside the box, illuminating her "evil" smile.
"This is the true weapon of fate. Jaden…this time, you're mine!"
Chapter 1 – Party, Party, Party!
Saturday, December 20th, 5:00 pm. The snow came down at a steady pace, covering the fields of Duel Academy in a white blanket about an inch thick. There were no classes that day, as most everyone went home for winter break. Well, everyone except those who were invited to Blair Flannigan's awesome Christmas party!
The party in the Duelist's Room was totally on. Everyone on Blair's guest list was invited. Naturally, this means Jaden Yuki was invited. He, right now, was dueling with a girl in Ra Yellow named Ichigo June. She had long bubblegum pink hair with several white berets keeping the locks apart. On Jaden's side was E-Hero Bubbleman in Defense Mode and E-Hero Wildheart in Attack Mode, while Ichigo had Harpie Lady 1 and Harpy Lady 2 out on her side. Surveying the duel were Blair, being the host of the party, of course; Syrus Truesdale (in his spiffy new Obelisk blazer); Bastion Misawa, who had a can of orange juice in his right hand; Alexis Rhodes, Tyranno Hassleberry, and, strangely enough, Missy Kochou, the insect girl, who didn't seem to care less. The ones who weren't watching the duel were Chazz Princeton (it's his room after all), who was showing off to Jasmine and Mindy; and Aster Phoenix, who was, more or less, in conversation with an elite Obelisk student named Wesley Reddings over some coffee. Wesley was really tall and gangly, had well tamed white hair, and wore mirrored sunglasses. Also, there was a girl in Obelisk Blue who kept staring out the window. Her name was Sara Sanderling, and she had her reddish-brown hair tied in long pigtails and black makeup around her eyes. She wondered to herself why she was even there as she popped a stick of gum in her mouth. The answer was simple: she'd never been invited to a party, as most people considered her "dark" and "gloomy."
Blair smiled as Ichigo took her turn, summoning Harpie's Brother to the field. As soon as this duel is over, the real fun starts. Blair ran upstairs as Ichigo commanded her Harpies to destroy Jaden's monsters (Harpie's Brother attacked Wildheart, Harpie Lady 1 attacked Bubbleman, and Harpie Lady 2 attacked Jaden directly). She searched around again and found her shoe box. She opened it just a little bit and the green light seemed to ooze from the inside before she closed it again and snuck back downstairs. Oh, and look! It's Jaden's turn!
"I play the spell card, The Warrior Returning Alive!" Jaden said. "Now, I can bring back a Warrior monster from my graveyard. And I choose my Elemental Hero Wildheart!"
"What good will that do?" Ichigo asked.
"I'll show you!" Jaden said, taking a card from his hand. "It's fusion time! I activate Polymerization and fuse my Wildheart and Bladedge from my hand to form Elemental Hero Wildedge (2600/1900)!" Wildedge took to the field, brandishing his blades in a cool hero pose.
"Oh…oh no…" Ichigo was starting to get scared.
"But it doesn't stop there," Jaden continued, "because Wildedge's ability allows him to wipe out all your monsters in one salvo! And to get that Attack boost out of the way, I'm destroying Harpie Lady 1 first!"
"Whoa…" Alexis said, her eyes widening. "Am I seeing things?"
"You're not, Alexis," Bastion responded. "Jaden is actually using his head."
"Time to go wild!" Jaden shouted as Wildedge brandished his arm blade. Harpie Lady 1 was the first to be diced to pieces, effectively ditching her power boost to her Wind-attribute allies. Harpie Lady 2 went out next, then Harpie's Brother, who was chopped in half by the massive sword. Ichigo shielded herself from the shockwaves of the shattering monsters as her Life Points dropped to zero before slumping down to her knees.
"And that's game!" Jaden said, pointing his fingers at her in his own cool pose. "You know, you're better than you give yourself credit for."
"No…" Ichigo said, looking at the floor. "…I can't duel…because I'm a girl…"
"That's not true," Jaden said, putting a hand on her shoulder. "I mean, look at Alexis and Blair. They're both girls ("Acute observation," Alexis said sarcastically) and they're great duelists. You just need a little more practice. And you'll be great too!"
Ichigo looked at Jaden and smiled. "…Thanks."
It was at that point that the lights went off. The only source of light came from Blair, who held a flashlight below her face.
"Good evening, duelists," Blair spoke in a creepy vampire voice. Jaden seemed more freaked out than usual when she did this. Syrus actually hid behind Bastion, who didn't seem fazed at all.
"I do hope you're enjoying the festivities." Blair continued to speak like a vampire until Alexis turned the lights on again.
"What are you doing?" Alexis asked.
"Uh…heh heh…" Blair cleared her throat. "As I was saying, now that Jaden's duel is over, it's time to play a…different kind of game. Now, everyone gather in a circle in the center of the room."
Jaden raised an eyebrow. "What kind of game is this?"
"You'll see," Blair said with a smirk. "Now just to be sure, sit next to someone you normally wouldn't."
"Why? What's going on?" Syrus asked, a little nervous.
"Do you want me to repeat myself?" Blair asked in a huff. "I said you'll see."
In the center of the room, the coffee table had already been pushed out of the way as the students gathered. In clockwise order, starting from Blair, the order was, Blair, Chazz, Bastion, Sara, Hassleberry, Alexis, Missy, Aster, Ichigo, Jaden, Mindy, Syrus, Wesley, and Jasmine.
"Good. It's time for the main event!" Blair grinned evilly as she opened the box. The green light shone on her again as she took out the "weapon of fate": a green glass bottle about as big as her forearm.
"Oh no," Alexis and Missy groaned. They knew exactly what was coming.
"Something wrong?" Blair asked.
"Flannigan," Missy said with a hand to her temple, "is this what I think it is?"
"That all depends on what you think it is," Blair said slyly.
"So, what is this crazy game?" Hassleberry asked, though upon doing so, he realized that he shouldn't have asked at all.
"This is a game that will test your fate, and your courage," Blair said. "It's the only game in the world that's possibly more dangerous than a Shadow Game." She put the bottle on the floor (and to some, the sound it made was almost like a gavel), the mouth of the bottle pointing towards Aster, who immediately knew what it was. "This game is called…Spin the Bottle."
"I knew it," Missy said.
There were a number of groans and an equal number of confused looks around the room. Chazz was the only one who jumped up and shouted "WOO HOO!" earning him a number of disturbed stares (except from Blair).
"I see someone already knows the rules," Blair said, haughtily.
Syrus's eyes were as wide as dinner plates. "S-S-Spin th-the B-B-Bottle??" He started to panic, but tried to keep himself calm. He was an Obelisk now. He had to keep his cool. He'd heard of the game, but the rules were actually explained to him by his brother, Zane, of all people. This earned him a rather snide smirk from Missy. Jaden, of course, didn't see what the big deal was about spinning a wine bottle. Reality was about to give him a good punch in the face.
"Everyone settle down so I can explain the rules," Blair said. Everyone quieted down to listen to her. "Well, to put it simply, this is…"
Duo: Oh MAN! I wanted to add this so much earlier, but I had to wait until I introduced all my OCs from my Delinquent Duo fic first! By the way, Weevil and Rex will not be participating in this particular story. Ooh, they'd be so ticked if they knew what they were missing! By the way, Chapter 2 is called Spin, Spin, Spin! and this is where all the kissing starts. And what's more, Blair's starting the thing off with a bang! Be afraid, Jaden!
And by the way, I may have accidentally revealed a spoiler from my Delinquent Duo fic by having Syrus in an Obelisk blazer.
