READ THE MEMO PLEASE! ALL OF IT! IT EXPLAINS ALOT!
I know, I know! I should be working on my other stories at the present time but I recently got this idea for a new story and I'm having major writers block with my other stories. This story idea has been bugging me for a while and I can't stand not writing about it so I'm sorry for anyone who really wants to read more of my other stories, I'll try as hard as I can to concentrate on those stories but for now, could anyone please please please review on this?
I'd like to see how far I can get this story.
Enjoy!
P.S. Story starts in the beginning of season 3. Any character info that is necessary will be at the bottom of the page.
Umm, and also, for the beginning of this chapter, I'm kind of copying the episode just to get the story into motion. The story won't be exactly the same as the episodes but may be similar in places. Sorry if you guys don't want to read about the episodes. The actual plot starts near the end of the chapter but the next chapter might explain it a little more. I just needed to get this out today.

The fresh blue skies of Duel Academy gave way to perfect weather and a perfect day. For most, that meant the beginning of term, before the big pep rally for the new students and transfers. It meant going down to the beach with friends and catching up just to have fun before school work gets in the way of that.
For most.
But for one student, it wasn't starting off as a good day.
Jaden Yuki, third grade Duel Academy student, was up on the roof of the main building of Duel Academy. His old friends, the NeoSpacians, had only just recently come back from their original home with great news: the society there had started to rebuild. Jaden and his duel spirits talked for a while about their past accomplishments like defeating Aster Phoenix in the beginning of Jaden's second year and defeating the Society of Light's head honcho, Sartorious.
Saying goodbye to his old friends, Jaden sat relaxing on the roof, watching the trees move with the wind and the birds flying above them. After some time, he dozed off into dreamland.
But it wasn't any ordinary dream.
-Dream-
Jaden lifted his head, hearing a female laugh. He saw that he was in a land of sand, the harsh winds were blowing the sand around him. "Huh? Who's there?" He called, looking around for the source of the laughter.
"Don't you remember me?" replied a strangely familiar but very girlish voice. The voice sounded hurt. "Why won't you come and play, Jaden?"
Jaden stood up from the sand and saw Duel Academy in the distance but there was no sign of anything else he could see just yet. "Who are you? And where are you?" He called out to the voice, still scanning the area incase the source of the voice could be found. "And where am I?" He continued, desert was nothing like he'd ever seen before.
It was then that Jaden looked down and saw all of his friends just standing at the bottom of the sand hill. He gasped and then ran down to them. As he ran, he called, "Are you guys alright?"
As he neared his friends, the voice spoke again. "I've already played with your friends," She whispered, "But they weren't much fun." She seemed to be complaining about that fact.
"Alexis? Syrus? Hello?" Jaden tried to get his friends attention but they didn't move. He reached out to touch the closest one, which happened to be Chazz. "Come on, say something!"
Suddenly, just as Jaden's hand was close to Chazz, Chazz began to crumble away, like sand in the wind. Jaden gasped and took a step back. Soon, the rest of his friends followed suit after Chazz.
Jaden closed his eyes and shook his head. "No. NO!" He screamed.
-End Dream-
Jaden woke up, gasping for breath. He couldn't believe the intensity of his dream. He started calming down once he realized he was still on the roof of Duel Academy's main building and the sky was still perfect.
"Kurii, kuriii," said a voice. This voice was o much higher pitch than the one in Jaden's dream. Looking to his right, Jaden saw his most trusted friend and duel spirit, Winged Kuriboh. "Boy, am I glad to see you. I had this dream, that my friends were statues. At least.. I think it was a dream," Jaden said, almost questioning himself.
"Kurii," Winged Kuriboh said again, drawing Jaden's attention to it. Winged Kuriboh pointed to something that was moving across the roof towards them, a duel spirit.
This duel spirit looked like a cat with two extra ears that were longer than normal and it had a round jewel on the end of its tail. "Ruby!" It exclaimed, signalling its name. Ruby also had red eyes that were the same colour as the jewel on her tail. Winged Kuriboh patted Ruby's head with his wing and Ruby shook her head.
"Talk about a strange day," Jaden sighed.
"There ya are, Ruby!" a relieved voice called. Ruby noticeably perked up and turned around. Squealing, Ruby bounced over to the source of the noise. She ran around the person's legs and up to their shoulder.
Since Jaden's attention has been on Ruby, it was now on the teenager boy standing there with Ruby on his shoulder. The teenager had white and brown boots with a red jewel clasp, black slacks, a puffy lavender shirt and a blue vest, signalling he was in Obelisk Blue. The stranger also had teal-coloured, spiked hair and bright green eyes that would pull you in to his soul in a second.
"I told you to stay put," The boy scolded lightly. The stranger had a thick southern accent. Ruby just gave a sheepish look.
"Whoa, dude. Is that a monster spirit or an I still dreaming?" Jaden asked, getting the boy's attention. Jaden stood up, quickly wiping the sleep from his eyes as the stranger walked over.
The stranger chuckled. "This here is my pal, Ruby Carbuncle."
"Ruby who?"
"No, Ruby Carbuncle," the stranger chuckled again.
"Hold on, that means you can-" Jaden started.
"Yup. I assume you can too," the stranger replied.
Winged Kuriboh made a sound of approval.
"That must mean you're the infamous Jaden Yuki," the stranger said.
"In the flesh," Jaden replied, smiling. "So, how long have you been able to see spirits?"
"Since I was born, I think. And from what I hear, its the same thing with you," the stranger explained. "Comes in handy, doesn't it?"
Jaden nodded. "Talking with monsters is so rad. Usually," Jaden whispered the end, having a flashback from a previous dream. Jaden shook his head to get rid of the image of the creepy eye with the veins but only succeeded in creating a very uncomfortable headache.
Pushing through the pain, Jaden continued speaking. "So are you new here? Because I don't think I've ever seen you around before."
"Um, not exactly. I transferred here," The stranger replied.
Jaden concentrated on listening to the reply but only got a few words, 'transferred' and 'here'. He put a hand to his head and squeezed his eyes shut to block out the light.
"Hey, you okay?" The stranger asked, looking concerned. The stranger watched as Jaden started to sway. His eyelids opened and Jaden looked at the stranger with glassy eyes before they rolled back into his head and he fainted. Luckily, the stranger caught him before he met with the concrete roof.
"Aw man. Jaden? Jaden?" The stranger shook Jaden lightly but he failed to get a reaction. "Aw heck. I better find the infirmary and get this guy some help."
The stranger hauled Jaden over his shoulder so his front half was behind him and the back was in front. The stranger then proceeded down the stair to find the infirmary.
But that in itself was a big task.
"Uh, Ruby? Would ya mind seeing if you can find anyone who can tell us where the infirmary is?" the stranger asked when they had made it to the bottom of the stairs, finally realizing that he knew nothing about this new school and one of the things he didn't realize was he didn't know where the infirmary was.
Ruby nodded and ran off in search of another student who could see her.
The stranger sat with Jaden on the staircase and kept him propped up on his side. The stranger looked at Jaden. Jaden had flushed cheeks and he'd started sweating. The stranger felt his forehead and knew that Jaden had a fever. 'It's a shame how he just plum collapsed on me. Poor guy,' He thought.
A little while later, Ruby came back. She couldn't find anyone who could see her but she did find out where the infirmary was.
The stranger was proud of her. "Lead the way, Ruby!"
Carrying Jaden, the stranger trudged through the halls towards the infirmary. "Man, for a scrawny guy, he's pretty heavy," the stranger said. Ruby giggled at his feet.
Ms. Fontaine, the schools nurse, was sitting in her office, reading the newspaper. She hadn't had anyone come in sick or injured today which was a good thing. But don't count out the students just yet.
"Um, can I get a little help here, please?" The stranger called out.
Ms. Fontaine sighed but closed her newspaper and walked out to the sick room. She gasped when she saw Jaden unconscious in the arms of the teal haired boy. "Oh my! What happened to Jaden?" She asked concerned, motioning a bed for the stranger to place Jaden on.
While doing so, the stranger answered Ms. Fontaine's question. "Jaden and I were talking on the roof and he just plum collapsed on me," He explained.
Ms. Fontaine quickly checked over Jaden and found that the only thing wrong was the fever that had grown a whole lot worse, going up to 40 degrees C.
"Who are you?" Ms. Fontaine asked.
"Name's Jesse Anderson," Jesse replied. "I'm a new transfer student."
Ms. Fontaine nodded. "I'm Ms. Fontaine, the school nurse. I heard about the new transfers. You can go if you want, although I'm not sure you'd be able to get to the pep rally alright," Ms. Fontaine said thoughtfully.
"Probably not," Jesse laughed.
Pulling out here school P.D.A., she called Chancellor Shepard. "Chancellor, I need you to send a student to the infirmary to pick up Jesse Anderson and take him to the pep rally."
"Why? What happened with Jesse?"
"Jesse is fine. He just had to bring another student in and he doesn't know the way to the pep rally."
"Another student? Which one?"
"Jaden Yuki."
"WHAT?!"
"Jesse said that Jaden just collapsed when they were talking on the roof. Jaden only has a fever but he is still unconscious. I'm trying to break his fever now."
The Chancellor sighed. "I'll send Hassleberry along to collect Jesse. In the meantime, please take care of Jaden, Fonda."
"Of course, Chancellor," Ms. Fontaine replied before hanging up. She turned to Jesse who was watching Jaden with a interesting look on his face. 'Makes me wonder if he knows Jaden other than just meeting him,' Ms. Fontaine thought. "Jesse, Chancellor Shepard is sending one of Jaden's friends, Tyranno Hassleberry, along to collect you. Jaden will be just fine with me."
Jesse nodded. "Thanks for your help."
Ms. Fontaine smiled. "Not a problem, Jesse."
