It was a nice Monday morning in Domino City. Now everyone hated Mondays, because, well, it's Mondays, nuff said. But there was one particular teen who hated Mondays. His name, was Rex Raptor. He was still asleep in his dinosaur covered sheets in his room that had a T-Rex bean bag. Rex wasn't a morning person, or a school person. He had bad grades, but he always made a B or higher a week later. He's smart, but also dumb and lazy. He usually wore a green jacket with a plain yellow shirt, tan pants, blue sneakers, and his standard signature red beanie that said DR on it (Dinosaur Ryuzuaki), instead of most boys, he had long hair that went a little farther than his neck. He also had lavender dyed bangs that went between his eyes, the rest of his hair was brown. He was still sleeping in his Brontosaurus shirt and T-Rex and Velociraptor boxers. His mom, who was a little higher than Rex, and had long hair that went to her waist. She also had dyed hair, instead of lavender, she had hot pink dyed hair, instead it was only a few strands.
"Rexy, time to get up." she said peacefully. Rex moaned as he didn't wanted to go to school.
"Do I have to go to school?" he said under his pillow. Rex's mother sighed.
"Rex, you have to go to school. Now come on get up, you're breakfast is waiting." she said as she closed his door. Rex slowly, but surely, got up, moaning and groaning to the fact it was Monday. He stretched and yawn while also scratching his back. He wend downstairs, yes in his pajamas, and ate his breakfast, which was just cereal.
"Rex, there's a family moving in the neighborhood, right across the street. I heard they have a kid, same age as you and that they're going to the same school. Maybe after school we go greet them." she said as she was cleaning a bowl. Rex took a scoop of his cereal and looked at his mom.
"Where'd you hear that?" asked Rex as he had food in his mouth.
"A mother knows." she said with a smile.
"But you're not the kid's mother." he said in a confused manner. Rex's mother had a sweat drop on the back of her head.
"A friend told me." she said with an annoyed face in a monotone voice. Rex shrugged and continued to eat his cereal. After breakfast he got in the shower, put his usual clothes on, and grabbed his backpack and helmet. He walked out of the house and got on his bike and rode to school.
*A few minutes later*
Rex finally made it to school. He took off his helmet and set it down on the handles. He put his bike on his bike rack and chained it. He then put his signature beanie on. He entered the school and went to his locker. He grabbed his books and saw a picture of him and Weevil holding up the trophy that Pegasus gave to Weevil. He sighed and put his head on his locker door.
"Where did it all go wrong." he whispered to himself. As soon as he closed his locker he noticed Weevil next to him. Rex jumped as he was startled. "Weevil, don't do that!" he said. Weevil just smiled.
"Aw, not happy to see me?" he said sarcastically. Rex just looked at him angrily.
"No, it's just that you startled me." said Rex. Then he heard bags and books hit the ground. He turned around to see a kid, who had Danny Phantom hair only with a few more spikes, was on the ground getting teased by some kids. "Can you believe them, they're acting like complete idiot children." said Rex. Weevil pushed up his glasses.
"Well we are in our Sophomore year Rex, everyone is bound to be children." said Weevil.
"Remember when that was us." said Rex. Weevil just shuttered at the moments when they were pinned up against the lockers getting beaten up. They would come home all bruised up and lie to their parent(s).
"Yeah, makes me wonder why they aren't doing it more often." said Weevil.
"New fish to fry, let's go, we're gonna be late." said Rex as he and Weevil walked to their 1st period together. The only period they didn't have each other in was 6th, where Rex had Physical Education (PE) and Weevil had Chemistry. 1st period was Math, and everyone hated it, not because it was the class or teacher, but because it was 1st period. No matter what class it is, everyone hates 1st period. Rex sat right behind Weevil, and both had window seats.
"Hey Weevil, a new kid moved into my neighborhood, right across the street. Me and my mom are going to greet them, wanna come?" asked Rex. Weevil turned around.
"Sorry, I have plans." said Weevil pushing up his glasses. Rex had an annoyed look.
"Let me guess, you're still planning on stealing those Egyptian God Cards from Yugi." said Rex.
"Precisely. Those Egyptian God Cards belong to a true duelist and champion." said Weevil as he used his hands like he was holding cards.
"You mean me right?" asked Rex with his eyebrow up.
"Fat chance!" yelled Weevil. Just then the teacher, Mr. Porkensnuffs, came in. He looked like the everyday teacher.
"Good morning kids." said Mr. Porkensnuffs in a monotone voice.
"Good morning Mr. Porkenstein." said the class in an annoyed manner as they knew they shouldn't have to say his name since they were in High School.
"That's Porkensnuffs." said Mr. Porkensnuffs. "Now today we'll be learning about angles and properties." said Mr. Porkensnuffs as he grabbed an Expo Marker and started right angles and properties on the board. Everyone started writing the notes down, with the exception of Weevil as he was planning on stealing the God Cards. He imagined himself beating Yugi Muto and stealing the cards while prancing off with them with Yugi crying in the backward. Weevil couldn't help it but chuckle a little.
*After School*
Rex got home and threw his backpack on the ground. He wen over to the kitchen and raided the fridge. He microwaved a few leftovers, and sat down on the couch to watch TV. His favorite show was Dinosaur King, because of numerous reasons. One because it's all about Dinosaurs, and two is because there's a character named Rex in the show, Rex Owen. If only they put Rex Raptor, then that'll be perfect. Rex's mom works as a nurse and doesn't even get home until 4, and Rex gets out of school at 3, so he has an hour to do homework, or so you think. He usually spends the hour watching TV, on his phone, or playing video games. When his mom come home, she usually tells him to do his homework and that's when he does it. As Rex was watching TV, he heard his phone ring. It was the theme to Jurassic Park, as that was his favorite movie, even though he doesn't get the science parts, but he just likes it because of the dinosaurs. He looked who was calling him. The name said Weevil. He answered the phone while stuffing chicken in his mouth
"Hello." he said with his mouth full.
"Hey Rex, I have an idea on how to get the God Cards." said Weevil.
"What is it." said Rex, still with chicken in his mouth.
"Well- uh, are you eating something?" asked Weevil. Rex swallowed the chicken.
"Yeah, chicken. Anyways tell me how we're gonna get them and our revenge." said Rex.
"Well, it's complicated, just come over to my house and I'll explain." said Weevil as he hung up. Rex looked at his phone in a confused manner, but shrugged it off. He left the house with his chicken and started eating on the way. He could see the new neighbors moving in. He saw a girl his age, and all he saw was that she was wearing a gray jacket with blue pants.
"Hmm, she seems nice." said Rex as he walked off.
*At Weevil's House*
Rex finally made it to Weevil's house, with the plate in his hand, with one piece of chicken on it. He rang the doorbell and stuffed the chicken in his mouth. Weevil's dad opened the door. He looked at Rex with a smile.
"Oh hey Rex, what brings you here?" asked Weevil's father, (Rian). Rex was still eating the piece of chicken when he answered.
"Weevil, called me to come over." said Rex, but Rian didn't fully understand him. "Uh, come again?" said Rian.
Rex swallowed the chicken and answered. "I said, Weevil called me." said Rex. Rian now understood and had a smile on his face.
"Oh, that makes sense, he's in his room." said Rian as he welcomed Rex in. He closed the door but unbeknownst to him, a kid riding his bike crashed into their lawn with the bike falling on him. Rex entered Weevil's room, which was just insect theme. He saw Weevil by his bed looking at something.
"Hey Weevil. What are you doing?" asked Rex.
"Listen Rex, if I want those god cards, I need your help for this." said Weevil.
"For you, what about me?!" yelled Rex.
"You're the sidekick." said Weevil. Rex folded his arms.
"You're a sidekick." said Rex. Weevil started pointing at the plan.
"Okay, first we purchase some weapons, you know as intimidation. Then when Yugi surrenders, we take his God Cards and his Dark Magician. Pretty Simple." said Weevil as he looked at Rex. Rex however was just confused.
"First off, the cops will get involved plus he knows who we are, second, if this was so simple, why did you say it was complicated on the phone?" asked Rex. Weevil blinked.
"Uuhh, I don't know, I was hoping maybe we could hang out afterwards." said Weevil. Just then, Rex's phone rang, it was his mother. "Hello." said Rex.
"Rex, where are you?" asked his mother.
"I'm at Weevil's." replied Rex.
"Well next time, leave a note, and besides aren't we gonna greet our new neighbors?" asked his mother. Rex completely forgot about the neighbors.
"Y-yeah." he said.
"Well get down here so we can." she said as she hung up.
"Listen, Weevil I have to go. Maybe we could hang out next time." said Rex. Weevil had an angry look.
"Fine, I guess you'll miss out on the God Cards." said Weevil.
"But I thought I wasn't getting them?" asked Rex. Weevil just looked at him.
"Don't you have somewhere to be." said Weevil. With that, Rex ran out the house.
*Back at his house, so much transitions*
Rex walked in to see his mother sitting on the couch. Rex's mom, (I forgot, her name is Nina) looked at him with a smile.
"Ready to go?" asked Nina. Rex nodded as they got out of the house and walked across the street. Nina rang to doorbell and a woman opened the door. She had blonde hair, blue button shirt, and pants. "Oh hi." said the woman. Nina had a smiled on her face. Rex just looked at her.
"Hi, I'm Nina. We saw you move across the street so we thought we could greet you." said Nina. The woman smiled. "Come in, come in." she said, and the Rex and Nina walked in.
"Ashlynn, we have guests!" yelled the presumed mother. "Ashlynn's upstairs, why don't you go see her young man." said the mother.
"My name is Rex." said Rex with an annoyed look. He went upstairs to Ashlynn's room. Once he entered, all he saw was pink. Pink bed, pink walls, pink stuffed animals. Then he saw a girl with a gray jacket, blue jeans, red shoes, and brunette hair that had two small pony tails in the back. She turned around to see Rex. She looked surprised to see him.
"Oh hi, are you one of the guests?" asked Ashlynn. Rex nodded. "Well my name is Ashlynn. What's your's?" asked Ashlynn.
"Rex." he said. Ashlynn looked confused. "That's a weird name for a girl, and a weird voice. Ah whatever, I don't judge people on how they talk or what they're name is." said Ashlynn. Rex had and even more annoyed look.
"I'm a boy." he said. Ashlynn was surprised as she yelled.
"OH! Whoops, sorry about that. It's just that with that long hair of your's I thought you were a girl." explained Ashlynn.
Why does everyone think that? asked Rex in his mind. "I like you're beanie. It looks nice." she said. She noticed it said DR on it. "D-R. Are you a doctor?" asked Ashlynn. Rex still had his annoyed look.
"No it stands for Dinosaur Ryuzaki, my real name. But most people called me Rex Raptor because I was once a famous Duel Monsters champion." Rex bragged as he put his fist in his chest.
"Drooling Monsters?" said Ashlynn in confusion. Rex fell down anime style.
"That's DUEL monsters." he said. Ashlynn looked confused. "Never heard of it." she said. "You mean, you never heard of Duel Monsters. It was once a famous game to watch AND play. There were different kinds of monsters and decks. There's also spells and trap cards as well." said Rex. Ashlynn smiled. She looked interested in the subject. She sat down on the bed while Rex sat next to her. He pulled out his deck.
"This is my deck. It's mostly filled with Dinosaurs. I loved them as a kid." said Rex. "That explains why your name is Dinosaur Ryuzaki and your nickname is Rex Raptor." said Ashlynn as she giggled. "Oh no, Dinosaur isn't my real name, it's a nickname, same with Rex Raptor. Ryuzaki is my real name." explained Rex.
"Could you tell me more about duel monsters?" asked Ashlynn. "You bet! First off, theirs different kinds of monsters. Dragons, Fairies, Beasts, Beast-Warriors, Dinosaurs." Rex said emphasizing Dinosaurs. "And, insects." he said it like he hated it. "My best friend uses an insect deck. But anyways, there's monsters that have effects, and those who don't. The ones who do are called Effect Monsters, and the ones that don't are called Normal Monsters. Effect Monsters are always used. Some can attack you directly, and some can be harmful to you." he explained. Ashlynn was very interested in the subject and smiled at him all the time. This went on for hours until it was time to go. The time was 7 o'clock when it was time to go.
"Rex! Let's go!" yelled Nina. Rex however was still talking. "Then I was the runner up of the Regional Championship. First place winner was my best friend. We lived the life of Kings. That is, until Yugi and Joey showed up, took away everything. One by one our popularity decreased, and so did our fans. Life was tough when people hated you because you lost one game. One time, me and my best friend were ganged up by three men as they beat us down. That was the lowest point of our lives. Everyday, it's just been one bad day after another. Not only did he take away my fame, but he took away my life as well. I still want my revenge on Joey Wheeler, that dueling monkey. And soon, I will be a champion again." said Rex out of anger. Ashlynn just had a scared look.
"Is that what really happened. Were you hurt after that day?"asked Ashlynn out of concerned.
"I just had a few bruises, and broken bones. But I heal fast. Thank you." he said.
"REX! Let's go!" yelled Nina.
"Coming!" yelled Rex. He then turned to Ashlynn. "Listen, it was nice talking to you. Even though I did all the talking mostly." he said while scratching his head.
Ashlynn smiled. 'It's okay. Go ahead and run Dino-Dude." she said with a smile as she winked at him. Rex blushed real hard his face turned red. He took off his beanie and covered his face with it. He walked backwards and out of her door. Ashlynn looked at him giggling. 'He is kind of cute." she said to herself. Rex came down the stairs.
"You ready?" asked Nina. "Uh-huh." Rex said as he still had the beanie over his face. They walked out the door and across the street.
"Why do you have your hat over your face?" asked Nina. Rex put his beanie on. "I don't know." said Rex. Nina sighed. "What am I going to do with you." she asked.
*Several Hours Later*
Rex was asleep in his dinosaur bed. He was dreaming about a land filled with dinosaurs. He and Ashlynn were walking together hold hands and he saw a Brontosaurus. They were having fun and laughing. He then heard the Jurassic Park Theme Song as he saw a T-Rex come out of the forest and roared a great roar. Rex and Ashlynn were smiling at the sight of the T-Rex. He then heard the Jurassic Park Theme song start over again, and the T-Rex came out of the forest again. This went on for a while until he realized that was his phone in his dream. Rex woke up and saw his phone was ringing. The name said Weevil. Rex picked up the phone.
"Hello?" asked Rex.
"I'm in jail." said Weevil over the phone. Rex dropped his phone and groaned in his pillow.
