As you can probably tell, I am absolutely crazy over some of the male characters in both the Original Yu-gi-oh series and Yu-gi-oh GX.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-gi-oh and Yu-gi-oh GX, or any of their characters and settings. I do own all original characters and settings.

My name is Rebecca Anderson. Today I am waiting for a letter that has the potential to change my life forever. If I have passed Duel Academy's written entrance examination, then I am one step closer to achieving my dream of dueling in the Pro leagues. There's a knock on the door. The mail has arrived.

"Bec, the mail's here." my best friend Amber called.

"Yeah, I'll go get it," I replied, rushing towards the door.

The postman hands me two things:

1. A letter addressed to me.

2. The newspaper - Domino Weekly.

"Thanks," I said, taking the items from him and closing the door.

"So it's finally here huh?" she questioned. "The moment of truth."

"Looks like it," I said, holding the envelope tightly in my hand. "Amber I'm worried" I continued. "What if I didn't pass...?"

"Just relax, I'm sure you passed." She reassured me. "And besides, if you didn't you can always try again next year."

"I guess so," I mumbled. I had to admit what she just said did make me feel a bit better, but for some reason, I still felt reluctant to open it. One percentage, one grade could change the outcome of everything - my dreams, my future and so much more. Sighing I put the letter down on the kitchen bench, "I don't think I can do this" I whispered to myself.

"Oh come on Bec, you can't be serious!" she groaned. "You're going to have to open that thing sometime." She laughed "Ok I'll make you a bet before you even decide to open that thing I will have read the whole of Domino weekly." she said, waving the newspaper in front of my face. She opened it and began to flick through the pages.

"So much for reading." I coughed.

"Boring, boring, boring... ah here we go" she said opening up and advertisement for Duel Academy. "Here's your future school."

The advertisement had a picture of a good looking boy with blue hair and blue eyes. He had a duel disk (a strange one, different to mine) on his wrist, his arms folded in a serious manner. Behind him photo-shopped in was the Cyber End Dragon, one of the strongest fusion monsters in the game. The motto below read "Stop dreaming, start dueling" - Duel Academy.

"Now this is what you will be missing if you don't open that god damn envelope. This hottie!" she winked, pointing towards the boy in the advertisement.

"Ahaha Amber." I giggled. "You know they get models and actors for these things right? I bet that guy doesn't even go to the academy."

"Well, you can be sure to tell me, when you're in the academy yourself," Amber smiled, handing me the envelope.

"I guess you're right," I replied. Taking one last deep breath I tore the envelope open. Then pulling out the letter I unfolded it and began to read.

The paper read as follows -

"Duel Academy Entrance Exam Results"

Applicant number: 2354

Applicant full name: Rebecca Anderson

Written examination score - Pass: 52%

"Phew! Looks like I passed" I sighed in relief. Slipping my examination results back into the envelope, I couldn't help but smile. "Now I can finally follow my dreams of becoming the world's number one duelist."

"Hey Bec, how did you go?" Amber asked.

"I passed," I replied shyly.

"Let me see!" she playfully pulling the envelope away from me. "Barely, come on I mean what is that Bec?" she said, poking her tongue out. I knew that she was only teasing.

"Fifty-two percent is considered a pass Amber! And besides, there is still the field test next week." I continued "Written exams aren't my thing, but dueling is."

"I suppose so." she agreed. Despite cutting it really close in the written exam Amber knew that I was a good duellist. "Just go and win," she said.

"I will. I bet that field test will be a piece of cake." Giving a fist pump in the air I shouted. "Pro-leagues here I come!"

"Get into the academy first you dork!" she joked.

"I won't let you down," I said, giving her a silly salute.

"And remember what you're dueling for." she added.

"Right!" I said nodding.

"That hottie!"

"Amber!" I gasped.

"Haha only kidding Bec, the pro-leagues!" she laughed.

"That's more like it," I said, giving her a thumbs up. I then started to head towards my room.

"Ok, time to prepare my deck."
