"All right cut the singing!" yelled Dr. Crowler (Crash!) "Jaden, what are you doing over there, we have to get this card shack stocked before tomorrow."
"Vary little, Dr. Crowler" said Jaden picking up the pile of small branches he dropped when he heard Crowler yell. "I'll just put the card cases in this bag" Jaden called to Crowler. "Do what ever you want with them!…" yelled Crowler "So she finally shows up."
"Morning Dr. Crowler"
"Morning, morning? Its almost closing time, not that any one bothers to come to a card shack in the by the red dorm." He said Sarcastically (Crash!) "Jaden what in blue blazes are you doing down there? Alexis go down there and check on... Alexis, how did you get that black eye?"
"Black eye?" she asked pretending like she didn't have one
"Alexis, is Chazz betting up on you again? I remember yesterday you came in with a bruised cheek. Are you shore your with the right boy?" "I got these cards all set for display" said Jaden coming up the stairs so fast that he tripped and spilled the cards on the floor.
"Jaden look what you did to the inventory!" yelled Crowler
"Don't yell at Jaden, Dr. Crowler" said Alexis in a kind voice.
"Hay Alexis you look beautiful today" said Jaden vary sweetly. "Are you warring eye shadow today" "I'll help him pick up every card before any one comes buy." Said Alexis
"Well that will be plenty of time." Said Crowler "I bet Dorothy is doing a better job then us, I mean look my employees, no customers, my life is a living Hell. Hay you out by the windows get lost!" "you don't need to tell us" said the red dorm students leaving. "Well when your from the red dorm you have nothing to do" "You will never be better then a mouse!" yelled Crowler. "You know that's what we all get when you're from the red dorm."

Well after all that. Jaden and Alexis went back to work. But just like every other day no costumers. All three of them just sat there, switching places every 30 seconds. "6:00 and we haven't sold as much as one booster pack. that's don't come in tomorrow" said Crowler. "But why?" asked Jaden, "You don't mean that" said Alexis. "I'm closing this card shack down forever." "Dr. Crowler maybe, we should try something new" said Jaden.
"What" said Crowler
"What Jaden is trying to say is he found something that might get people to come hear." Said Alexis as Jaden left to get his new attraction "its not duel monster card"
"Then what is it?" asked Crowler
"Its some sort of plant, I never saw one like this before. And it doesn't look so well"
"It looks like a smaller version of the card man-eater plant ( real card) but it's a real plant" said Dr. Crowler
"Could be, but I gave it a name. I call it Alexis II. You don't mind it do you Alexis?"
"No it like the name"
"You know if I put it hear in the window maybe we could get some…"
"Jaden that is the most pathetic thing I have ever heard. Just you put a plant that looks like a duel monster in the window doesn't mean customers come walking in at the moment you put it in the…"
"Pardon me but that plant you just put in the window looks like a duel monster," said a man coming in it was Bastion. "What is it?"
"An Alexis 2" said Alexis
"I never saw it any thing like it before, I be no one has. So where did you get it?"
"Well remember that total eclipse of the sun"
[JADEN Nope, da-doo, whoop-see-doo
Da-doo,
I was walkin' in the halls and came across some flower for sell that day
Shoop da-doo,
and I passed by this place where this old Chinese man
Chang da-doo
he sometimes sells me weird and exotic things,
Snip da-doo,
'cause he knows, you see, that strange things are my hobby.
Da da da da da da-doo.
He didn't have anything unusual there that day.
good for you,
when suddenly,
Da doo
and without warning, there was this total eclipse of the sun.
It got very dark and there was this strange
sound like something from another world.
Da-doo,
And when the light came back this weird plant was just sitting there,
Alexis Two.
I coulda sworn it hadn't been there before,
but the old Chinese man sold it to me anyways,
for a dollar ninety-five in academy tokens.
Sha la la, la la la, la la la loo
"Well that is one heck of a story and a fascinating plant" said Bastion "Say, since I'm here, I might buy some booster packs"
"Yes a sail" said Crowler in excitement
"Can you break a 100 in academy dollars?"
"No, sorry"
"Then I'll half to take twice as many"
"Twice as many?" said Alexis and Jaden in shock
"Twice as many!" said Crowler who was more excited then before"
"Twice as many" said 2 students looking threw the window.
After that moment business was starting to pick up more and more students came in. Even some of the teachers came in and bought new cards and packs.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, all of you come again soon." Said Crowler "Come and look at the plant some more. Slacker! Don't just stand there, put the plant…what did you call it?"
"Alexis II" said Jaden
"Well put that Alexis 2 back in the window so more people can see it." Said Crowler "This is a dream come true. I'll buy us all dinner tonight"
"Oh, I would love too but I can't," said Alexis "I have a date"
"With Chazz?" asked Jaden
"Alexis I'm telling you don't need another date with him you need to ditch him" said Crowler "not to mention a first aide kit"
"He's a smart and strong guy," said Alexis
"I can see the strong part," said Jaden
"He is one of the best people on the island and he makes a good living," said Alexis "And besides there is no one else I have. See you tomorrow Jaden"
"Later, Lex" said Jaden "Are we still going to get dinner?" he asked. The plant went lopsided and a few leaves fell off.
"Your not going any where slacker, you need to take care of that sick plant." Said Crowler at once. "Nurse it back to health, I'm counting on you"
"Ok, see you tomorrow"
"Good night and you are sleeping in the store tonight" he said locking the door behind him. Jaden went into the back room. "What's wrong little plant? You sick or just don't feel like being life-like?"
[JADEN I've given you plant food I've given you southern exposure
I've given you sunshine
I've given you dirt.
You've given me nothing
but heartache and hurt.
I'm beggin' you sweetly.
I'm down on my knees.
Oh, please-grow for me!
And water to sip.
I've given you potash.
You've given me zip.
Oh God, how I mist you
Oh pod, how you tease
Now, please-grow for me!
To get you to thrive.
I've pinched you back hard,
Like I'm s'posed ta.
You're barely alive.
I've tried you at levels of moisture
From desert to mud.
I've given you grow-lights
And mineral supplements.
What do you want from me- Blood?
"Ouch, stinkin paper cut" he said cutting himself "Stupid card edge" he started to suck the blood from his finger. A soft kissing sound filled the room. Jaden looked around and saw it was the plant making the sound. Using the hand with the cut finger he tried to touch it, but the plant tried to bite his finger off. He tried with the other hand and the plant looked away.
I've given you sunlight.
I've given you rain.
Looks like you're not happy,
'Less I open a vein.
I'll give you a few drops
If that'll appease.
He squeezed some drops of blood into the plants mouth.
Now please-oh please-grow for me!
Jaden left the room and the plant started to expand, it broke the pot it was in. It let out a small sigh and stretched its vines and stopped.
