Hello everyone, I have had this idea for a little while and couldn't wait so I started writing it down and decided to share it with everyone. This story takes place after the series but will have mention of events that happen in season 3. There will be some OCs included in this story, Leo Sekai is own by my friend Hamm-Ram and Mike Fang is owned by me. Now without anymore delays, I will have Jaden do the disclaimer

Jaden walks out, "Thanks JXA fan 2000 does not own Yugioh GX or the characters in the series, Leo Sekai is owned by Hamm-Ram and Mike Fang is owned by JXA. This is a work of fiction and should be treated as such. Now Get your game on!"

Several years has passed since the events of GX and in the upscale part of Domino City where not many tourists get to see we find ourselves in front of an extravagant mansion with a flower maze garden along with several statues of Cherubs as well as other Greek men and women in various poses but it is on the second floor of the mansion that we start our tale.

"I can't believe my parents are doing this to me," said a beautiful blond haired woman with deep hazel eyes and a figure most supermodels would kill for, this woman was 21 year old Alexis Rhodes and not much has changed for her except her figure has filled out even more with many men and even some women wanting to marry her but she has her heart set on another. "I know that your bummed about this whole arranged marriage thing but maybe this will be a good thing, you never know you may like the guy," said one of her best friends in the room Jasmine with her short brown hair that reaches her shoulders.

"But if he is like all the other rich creeps my dad or brother try to hook me up with, then he will just be another pervert wanting to get me to sleep with them just for bragging rights," said Alexis. "Isn't there anyway you can call it off," asked her other friend Mindy with long black hair in a ponytail. "There is a way since neither of our moms liked the idea but the only way to break this is if we both don't want to marry each other," said Alexis flopping down on her bed with a tired sigh.

"Well we wish there was something we could do to help, but I'm not sure how much help either Leo or Mike could be," said Jasmine thinking of her and Mindy's boyfriends of three years now. "Hey Mike could probably think of something to help out," said Mindy defending her boyfriend as Alexis breaks up the fight before the girls wreak her room with another of their arguments about which of their boyfriends were better. "Girls, the two of them would just start listing ideas out of nowhere before getting into another fight over whose ideas were best," said Alexis being the peace keeper of her friends. "Your probably right, but they sure look good after a fight with all that sweat," said the girls in a dreamy voice.

Meanwhile in another mansion not far away, we find Jaden Yuki, Leo Sekai, and Mike Fang playing Mario Kart on the Wii. Leo Sekai has midnight black hair styled like a lion's mane wearing a silver medallion around his neck. He has faded jeans leading down to some black and red sneakers on his feet with a t-shirt that has SaberLeomon roaring on the left side. Mike Fang has shaggy brown hair wearing a pair headphones on his head listening to his music as he steers his character. He has a shirt with WereGarurumon howling at the moon with some shorts that cut off at his knees and some blue and black sneakers on his feet. "Ha, take that shell Cat Breath," said Mike

"Oh yeah, will this will shrink you down to size Flea bag," said Leo as Mike's character shrunk down. "Guy would you chill out, it's just a game and I thought we were hanging out to talk about my problem with my dad setting this Ball to announce my engagement to some woman I don't even know or want," said Jaden as he finished first with Mike and Leo tying for second. "Sorry Jay," both said as they set their controllers down and turned to their friend. "You said there was a way out right man," said Leo as Mike took off his headphones to listen better but still hear the music. "Yeah but both me and her have to call it off since our moms hated the idea of an arranged marriage.

"Shame you can't just duel your way out of this one Jaden,' said Mike as the three shared a laugh at that, Yeah, but this isn't the academy. At least you guys can help me deal with this. I can only imagine how Syrus and Hassleberry would react if they knew who I really was."

"No doubt man, those two are even worst then me and Mike when it comes to fighting. We actually have each others backs when the chips are down," said Leo as he and Mike share a fist bump. "Yeah but you two have been friends even before the Academy always trying to one up each other. I still can't believe you both got a girlfriend around the same time."

"Hey what can I say? I saw Mindy surrounded by those Duel Zombies and had Luna Wolf clear a path to get her to safety,' said Mike remembering how upset she was and promising to stay with her until she found Jasmine and Alexis. Same for me and Jasmine Jay, Soleo just crushed any of those monsters in our way till we could find a place to breath and rest a bit."

"Yeah, sorry you all had to get dragged into that," said Jaden rubbing the back of his head before the door opened and a woman with long light brown hair that reached her butt walked in with a few glasses of tea as she said, "Here you go boys and if you need anything else just let me know," "Thanks mom, your the best," said Jaden kissing his mother's cheek as she smiled before walking out of the room leaving the boys to talk among themselves.

And cut, that's a wrap for the first chapter of my new story Masquerade. Before any of you leave your reviews, I do plan on finishing Reunion and may or may not get more Crusaders done, Just depends on how much time I have. Also I don't know about you but I don't like the idea of arranged marriages but this will work out in the end I promise you that. So until next time, see yeah.
