Jaden Yuki and Jesse Anderson were walking along the shore of the school grounds, talking about their latest duels. They were just joking and laughing when they saw something that caught their attention.

"Hey, Jesse, do you see that thing just lying there?"

"Yeah, I do. I just thought that I was loosing my dog-gone mind."

They both ran over to see what was lying in the sand. They were both surprised to see it was a person. A boy, about their age, and he wasn't moving. Jesse knelt down to take a pulse.

"He's alive, but barely. Go get Ms. Fontaine, Jaden."

"Sure." Jaden ran to the main building, looking for the Nurse. He found her in the teacher's lounge, having a cup of tea. When he told her what happened, she almost spilled the liquid on herself.

"Oh my goodness. Well, we'd better go check on him right away." When they finally got back down to the shore, Jesse had the boy propped up against a rock. His eyes weren't open, but he seemed to be breathing better. Ms. Fontaine took out her stethoscope and checked his chest and back.

"He seems to breathing okay, but I think I should run some tests to see. Do either of you know who he is?"

Both Jaden and Jesse shook their head's. They had never seen the boy at Duel Academy, and with the face he had, you would have noticed him. He had longish dark hair, a great tan, and when Ms. Fontaine opened his eyes to check his pupil dialations, they were a brilliant green. Jesse even felt himself start to drool a little.

"Can you two carry him up to the school?"

"I think so." Jaden said. He gently picked up the stranger's legs, while Jesse grabbed him arms. They slowly made their way up to the school and into the hospital ward.

"Get his shirt off, will you? I need to attach these wires."

Jesse and Jaden both looked at each other and then down at the boy.

"Why don't I do it?" Jesse offered, reaching towards the bottom of the young man's shirt.

"Alright..." Jaden stared as the shirt came off. The guy's chest was muscluar,toned, and he had a six-pack.

"Move, please." Ms. Fontaine gently pushed to two out of the way as she pulled a heart-rate machine over to the boy. Jesse was folding the guy's shirt when he noticed something on front pocket.

"Colin? Hey, Ms. Fontaine, I've found out his name." He handed the shirt over to her, and she examined it.

"Well, it may not be entirely helpful, but it is a name. Thanks Jesse."

"No problem."

"Now, you two should go, he's not going to be waking up anytime soon."

Jaden and Jesse headed to the door. When they exited the room, they took one last look at the young man before the doors closed behind them.

"Where do you think he's from?"

"I don't know. Maybe he's a mermaid."

"Jaden, a mermaid?" Jesse raised an eyebrow.

"You're right. Not a mermaid, a merman." Jaden smiled and nodded at his best friend. Jesse just sighed.

"You're hopeless sometimes, you know that?"

"Nope, Jaden, 100% of the time."

Jesse couldn't help but laugh. His friend could be kinda slow sometimes, but he was still a good person.

"C'mon Jay, Dorothy's serving mystery meat today."

"Oh goodie, my favorite!" The two boys ran to the cafeteria, beating the others to line, not that anybody else was in such a hurry.
