This is my first attempt at a somewhat romantic fic, although it will have some dueling action in it (once again officail cards and rulings)…

From what I've heard, Japanese high schools only take three years, so there's no sense in having this take place after season 3. Instead I'll make my own version, with no freshmen but one. On with the story... Oh and I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! GX.

Chapter 1

It was the first day of the third shcool year at Duel Academy. The freshman girl, Blair Flannigen made sure to take the seat next to her crush, Jaden Yuki before lessons started. Speaking of whom, Jaden's name had started being yelled from outside the school just as soon as the first lesson had started. This was accompanyed with the racket of a drumm being hit with no rythm what so ever.

'Jaden, Jaden! Won't you come out and play?!' came the singing of a high-pitched voice from outside.

Every student in the building rushed out to see who had been addressing the school champion. The guy rolled in on a unicycle, wearing the most disturbing wardrobe that made him look fat and cast the illusion of him always being happy. It was a clown.

'Greetings Duel Academy! The circus is in town!'

'He came with a circus?' Syrus thrilled.

'More like he's trying to open one. No wonder he called for Jaden.' Chazz muttered.

'Jaden Yuki!' the clown yelled pointing towards the slifer red student he's beckon. As soon as he got his attention he strapped the drumm he was carrying to his left wrist. Its side then poped out and leant into a horizontal state revealing the five slots it had hidden on the inside. 'I challenge you to a duel!'

'What a sweet way to kick off the third year. I accept your challenge.'

'Hang on!' Hasslberry interjected. 'You, a clown came all the way to this island all on your own, just to have a duel with Jaden?'

'You find that hard to believe? I don't blame you.' At this point his voice grew deeper. 'As humorous this creature may seem, I can still use him to get what I want.'

Everyone gazed with eyes and mouth wide opened.

'What's with the voice? And what is it, you want?' Chazz asked.

'Thought you'd never ask.' he said as a devilish smirk appeared on his face. 'I'm an entity from time and space from beyond your comprehension. Fate has brought me here to this side of the continum. But when I arrived I felt a certain illness like never before. It'll take long before I can adobt to your living conditions. But in the meantime I've found four humans I can seperate my life force in, until I can claim my full power. And just when everything seemed alright something terrible happend. I was cocky enugh to accept a challenge with one of the bodies I've possessed… And lost it. The next thing I knew I only had control of three bodies. I realised the weakness I have to carry while existing in this dimension. This ridiculous card game can erase my life force for good. You expert duelists threaten my plan to dominate this planet, and I'm afraid I cannot allow that. Fortunatly for me I have the power to turn this game into a battle just as risky to you as to me. So I'll have my remaining three possessions take out the whole lot of ya. So get ready to duel!'

'You're on! If beating you is what it takes to stop your domination game then it's time to throw down!' Jaden said activating his disk.

'Hold on!' Blair yelled jumping in front of Jaden with her hands held out. 'No different dimension freak's gonna duel my Jaden to the death! Not before getting through me first!'

'If that's your wish then so be it. It doesn't matter wether I beat Jaden now, or five minutes later. Activate your disk, so we may begin!' he said drawing five cards.

'Alrigth but how about you give me a name I can actually adress you by?'

'Joky.'

'Your joking.'

'As always. Now let's have some fun!'

'Sweet catchphrase bro!' Jaden commented.

'She can't go through with a duel like that! Why get killed at a young age?' Chazz nattered, but noone seemed to pay attention as usual.

'I'll start things off…' Blair decleared while drawing six cards. 'With a monster lieing in defence. Your move!'

'Yes but mine isn't going to be so boring. I summon Mystic Clown. And he'll be playing the part of the knifethrower in todays preformance.'

'With a sword?' she gazed watching him boost his monster's ATK with the Sword of Dark Destruction equip spell for a total of 1900.

'Attack her face down monster!'

As the clown of darkness leaped towards her monster it fliped face up revealing Maiden of the Aqua with a defense strength of 2000.

'Seeing as my monster has more points you're the one to take damage. Meanwhile her special ability flods the field in an endless ocean. My move. I summon Unhappy Girl in attack mode.'

'Why would she play that?' Syrus wondered seeing as her monster only had 400 ATK.

'Unhappy girl isn't destroyed in battle while on the field in attack position. And any monster that does attack her is forbidden to attack or change its battle position. It's a decent play but for it to work she'll have to pay with most her LPs, wich would in this case also mean her lifeforse.' Chazz explained.

'I set one card face down and end my turn.' Blair said.

'Please! Your tactics are so obvious!' her oppoent said. 'As soon as I call an attack, you'll shield your LPs with that face down card. But tell me, what happens if I attack twice? I summon Dream Clown in attack mode, and have him attack your Girl first!'

His monster leaped into action. With 1200 ATK, his headbut should've inflicted 800 points of damage, but at the moment of impact Blair applyed the effect of her trap card.

'I activate Tornado Wall! So now I can use the whole ocean as protection of my LPs. You were right, I am shielding my LPs. But unfortunatly for you this is permanent. So your monster's only attack was for nothing.'

'Ah so what? He's better off defending anyway.'

„Next turn I'll use my Earthquake spell to turn all monsters to defense, not only negating her monster's effect, but activating my own's and destroy her Maiden of Aqua. Her whole strategy will crumble." he figured.

'My move. I summon Allure Queen LV3. Sure 500 ATK aint much but thanks to her special ability any weakling on your side can be made into her pawn. Your Dream Clown now belongs to her.' she said placing his monster into her s/t card zone.

'Hey come back here!' the clown yelled at his card hologram. 'What's shet got that I aint got? I could dress like her too you know!'

His attempt didn't make anybody laugh.

'Just make your move.' she begged.

'You sound confident. Your LPs may be safe but you can't win a duel with weak monsters. Bad show. You know what clowns get for that? The tomato treatment. So I summon Mystic Tomato and have it attack Allure Queen.'

Just as the 1400 plant was about to splash into the queens face, Dream Clown jumped into its way.

'Funny, but I don't understand how you did that.'

'Allure Queen's effect allows me to rederrect your attack to one of her pawns.'

'Big deal! This second attack will still get her. Mystic Clown attack!'

With one slash of his sword the clown slaughtered the enemy leaving only two monster on her side just like on his.

'I end my turn.'

'Draw. I sacrifice Unhappy Girl to summon Aitsu.'

'Now that's really funny!' he said gazing at the monster of 100 ATK and DEF. And seeing as it was a yellow card it obviously didn't have a hidden effect either.

'Laugh it up while you still can. I activate Big Wave Small Wave. Now I can sacrifce a water monster on my side of the field to summon another one from my hand regardless of level. So I sacrifice Maiden of the Aqua wich in turn also destroys Tornado Wall, but at least I get to summon Koitsu.'

Her new level 10 monster was only 100 points stronger than the one she's previously summoned, but this monster did have an effect.

'One thing you might wanna know about these two Joky. Their power's at most when they're together. A perfect duo just like me and my cutie Jaden.' she said giving a wink to Jaden over her shoulder. 'Now my monsters, combain your power!'

They looked like little stickmen flying on little triangles of paper, but once they formed union they had a total of 3100 ATK.

'Attack his Mystic Tomato!'

'Nice move. But when Mystic Tomato's destroyed I can summon another creature of darkness from my deck with 1500 ATK or less. I chose Ryu-Kishin Clown. And whenever he's summoned I get to switch a monster's battle position. So now your duo goes defensive. Not that it can actually defend with 100 points.'

'You still have to beat both of them. I set one card face down and end my turn.'

'Will do. But I'll need the reinforcmence of my fire-eater: Rapid-Fire Magician. Here's his trick: by activating a normal spell card he inflicts 400 points of damage to your LPs. So I activate Gather your Mind wich allows me to add a copy of itself from my deck to my hand so I can play it next turn. Now he and my Kishin Clown attack your duo of weaklings. And don't forget, I still have my Mystic clown. And he has a powerful ability. When my opponent's out of monsters…' came a dramatic pause. 'He can attack them direclty.'

'That was so painfully not funny it ovreshadows your attack.' Blair mocked but was silenced as the attack hit her LPs.

'You were saying? You're out of monsters, I have three. You have 1700 LPs remaining I have 2200. I'm ahead in every way.'

'You know what else I have?' she asked, then took a look to the Slifer Red student in the crowd behind her. 'Inspiration. It's my move. I summon Mermaid Knight. Then I play the spell card Premature Burial. By paying 800 points I can bring back a monster from my graveyard. So Maiden of the Aqua is coming back.'

'I'm supposed to be the one with the laughable strategy. Giving up LPs when you barley have any?'

'It's all worht it, cause on a floded field, Mermaid Knight's effect allows her to attack twice per turn. So I'll juice her up with my face down card: Metalmorph.'

'For a grand total of 1800 points. She's still weaker than my Mystic Clown.' the clown took the word.

'That's where he's wrong.' Chazz commented to the croud around him. 'Metalmorph gives the monster wearing it a second boost equal to half of any monster's ATK it's attacking.'

'Now Mermaid Knight attack his Mystic Clown!'

With another 950 boost her amphibious creature easily thrust the clown, inflicting 850 damage to the other's LPs.

'Repeat attack! Target his Kishin Clown!'

By then Joky only had 1350 LPs left so a battle of an 800 and a 2200 point monster was the ideal way to end the duel.

'The only thing humorous about you, is thinking of yourself as a decent duelist.' the girl said, proud of her victory.

'Impressive.' Chazz said, and turned to stroll back into the building.

„Did Chazz just compliment someone else?" Syrus gazed. „This day just keeps gettering wierder and wierder.

All students returned to class, and no more excitement accurd that day. But on a further point of the island:

'What have you witnessed?' came the voice from the cellphone.

'Just as we expected. Even the first year students have potential.' the clown answered.

'Anyone in particuar?'

'There's this guy… I'm sending you a picture of him. He knows the game well. But I warn ya. He can't take a joke.'

Those were Joky's last words before the unknown entity lost control of him completly.

The other party obserbed the picture well. The picture of Chazz Princeton.
