The Beauty with the Brains: a Yu- Gi-Oh GX Story
(A/D: I do not own anything Yu-Gi-Oh GX other than Rose and the Harpy Five)
Chapter 1: The Meeting
Rose sat in her seat in the airplane, looking out the window. She sat with her arms crossed over her chest and crossed her long, slender legs. Her jet-black hair was pulled back into a high pony tail and her deep brown eyes had an annoyed expression.
"Attention passengers, if you look on your right, you will see Duel Academy, your new home", said the pilot.
"Finally, we're here", Rose thought aloud. She just had her duel to enroll in Duel Academy a week ago and she knew that classes already started. I wonder if he's here, she thought.
Later on the island, Rose left her dorm to check out the school grounds. She would be one of the only girls to be in Ra Yellow, the Academy's middle level students. All Ra students were wearing a yellow uniform. She was wearing a yellow jacket with matching skirt, boots and gloves. As Rose left the dorm area, she saw a girl with a blue uniform and long blond hair. With her, there were four boys. Three of them had a red uniform. One had brown hair and seemed to have a take-charge attitude. Another boy had glasses and acted shy. The last one had black hair and was a bit on the heavy side. The last boy had a yellow uniform, grayish-black hair, and a slight British accent. He was probably a Ra.
Rose was about to walk away when she heard, "Hey Bastion, that a friend of your's"?
She froze as she heard the name. He's here, how? she thought.
Rose turned around as the five students ran to her. "Hi, my name's Alexis Rhodes and I'm in Obelisk Blue. What's yours?" the girl asked her.
"Rose Taylor" she replied.
"Nice name. This is Jaden Yuki, Syrus Truesdale, and Chumley Huffington, who are in Slyfer Red and Bastion Misawa who's in Ra Yellow", Alexis said, pointing to each individually.
"Nice to meet you" Rose said.
Jaden asked, "Are you new, 'cause I've never seen you before."
Rose replied, "Yeah, I'm new. I just came this morning".
"You must be pretty good to be a Ra in a day", said Syrus.
"I have a really special deck." she replied.
"What cards do you have?" asked Chumly.
"You could take a look at my deck if you want" Rose offered.
"Wow, thanks," said Syrus.
As Rose handed over her deck to Syrus, Bastion swiped it from her hand.
"Hey!" said Rose.
"I've seen these cards before," said Bastion as he looked through the deck.
"You should've, you've dueled against them before" said Rose.
"When?" asked Bastion.
"Six years ago"
"When have I seen you six years ago?'"
"I was a classmate of yours until the seventh grade, but of course you wouldn't remember your only actual friend in elementary through middle school" Rose said sarcastically.
Bastion then remembered a picture with himself as an elementary school student and a girl around his age with black hair and pigtails. The picture was with both of them smiling and laughing.
"I remember you now", said Bastion, "but then you had to leave in the middle of the year. Why?"
Rose replied "You ever hear of a singing group called the Harpy Five?"
Alexis said, "I've heard of that group. They're one of the only girl groups that actually duel for fun, not for a gimmick."
"That's right. You seem to be a fan, Alexis. Who was your favorite?" asked Rose.
"My favorite was Harpy Girl. Although she was the youngest, she had a real passion for dueling, even as a student in elementary" said Alexis.
"Well, you're looking at her," said Rose.
"Oh my god!" exclaimed Alexis.
"I liked you from the beginning," said Jaden.
"We did too!" shouted Syrus and Chumley. Alexis laughed at the boys.
"I always knew you would come back to haunt me. Anyway, how's your cousin?" said Bastion.
"What do you mean by haunt?" asked Rose.
"Nothing," said Bastion, "Just answer my question."
"Okay, sheesh. She's fine. You still like her, don't you?" asked Rose.
"Uh…" Bastion said as he started to blush a crimson red.
"I knew it!" yelled Rose.
"This is what I meant by haunting!" Bastion yelled.
They continued to argue as Jaden turned to everyone and say, "You know this sorta looks like a lovers' quarrel."
"I don't think you should have said that, Jay," said Syrus as he slowly backed away with Alexis and Chumley.
"What I say?" asked Jaden. He then turned around and saw Bastion and Rose walking toward him and they looked angry.
"Looks like I'm gonna get my workout today after all" Rose said as she cracked her knuckles.
"Uh-oh" squeaked Jaden. Then, Bastion and Rose jump on Jaden and a cloud of dust appears and sounds of Jaden screaming for help were heard. A few moments later, the dust cloud clears out and Jaden is on the ground, out of breath, while Rose and Bastion stand above him.
Rose told Jaden, "Next time you say that, it will hurt ten times more than it did now."
After Rose yelled at Jaden, she looked up and meets up with Bastion's eyes.
"What are you looking at?" asked Bastion.
She then looked down and started to blush, as she replied, "Nothing".
"Now can we see your cards?" asked Syrus impatiently.
"Sure, if Bastion gives you my cards" Rose said as she looked at Bastion with a look.
"Oh, right. Here Syrus" replied Bastion.
"Wow, these are great cards," exclaimed Jaden, "Where did you get them?"
"Remember my last name?" asked Rose.
"Yea" said everyone.
"Then you should know who my mother and father are," said Rose with a grin on her face.
"Uh…" everyone looked down at the ground.
"Think. Who in dueling history was associated with a person with the last name Taylor?" said Rose with an annoyed expression on her face.
"Wait. I remember researching something about the friends of the King of Games. One of them was Tristen Taylor. He's your father, isn't he?" Alexis said.
"We have a winner." Rose said with a relaxed face.
Alexis continued, "Another famous duelist was Joey Wheeler and his sister, Serenity. She was dating Tristen. She's probably your mother."
"Congrats, Alexis. You win the prize for most resourceful" said Rose.
"Then, where did you get the cards?" asked Chumley.
"You know who my uncle is right? If you don't get this right, oh boy will I be upset," said Rose with an annoyed expression.
"It's got to be Joey Wheeler then," said Syrus. "His wife and my aunt is," Rose said with a smile forming on her face.
"Mai Valentine" said a voice from behind them. They tuned around and saw an Obelisk who appeared older than Alexis and had a slight frown on his face.
"Oh, hey Zane," said Alexis, "Meet Rose. She's new here. Rose, meet Zane, a third-year Obelisk and Syrus's older brother."
"Nice to meet the niece of the greatest female duelist in the world" said Zane with a smirk.
"Nice to meet you too, Zane. Why were you listening to our conversation?" asked Rose.
"I was nearby and saw Chazz looking at you. So I came over and made him back off." replied Zane.
"Who's Chazz?" Rose asked. She turned around and saw an Obelisk with spiked black hair gawking at her. A moment later, he then turned away.
"That's Chazz," said Jaden with an annoyed look.
"I'm guessing you two don't like each other very much," said Rose with a grin on her face.
"You've got that right," exclaimed everyone except for Jaden, Zane, and Bastion.
In fact, Bastion hasn't said anything after Chazz was staring at Rose like a love-struck puppy.
"Hey Bastion, you okay? You haven't really said anything," asked Rose.
"Yeah, I'm fine," said Bastion looking at the ground.
"Are these from your aunt and uncle's original decks?" asked Chumley.
"Yeah, but just my aunt's. She kept saying that she was a better duelist than my uncle was. They're so special to me because they were the ones who taught me how to duel," said Rose with a dreamy expression.
"I'm still wondering why you're not in Obelisk," said Alexis.
"I was originally put in Obelisk, but I wanted to start off with the basics." replied Rose, "Look at the time! I have to go! I guess I'll be seeing more of you guys."
As she ran off, everyone looked at her. "I think this is the beginning of a great friendship," said Jaden. Everyone else agreed as Rose turned around and smiled at them before seeing the rest of her new home.
Please R&R!
