Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh G/X! All that I own is this bag of chips I'm eating…
This is my first fanfic! Finally I've gotten off my butt and written the first chapter…but I've decided I'm going to write this story in two parts, because…well there are two parts to it. SOO this is Part One! Hope you like it! And it's Jazz/Chazz, I LOVE this couple, kind of an unpopular pairing though..probably because they hardly give Jasmine and Mindy screentime! I don't know why, I mean I think if they develop them they'd be pretty cool characters, plus they need a little more girls on the show. Anyways I think they'd be good together, hence the story I'm writing. R&R pleeease, and criticism is welcome, but be nice :)
A/N: I completely forgot the name of the island Duel Academy is on, and I know it's some really obvious, self-explanatory name but for the life of me I can't remember! So I just called it Duel Island, sorry if that's wrong!
Thoughts are in "Italics"
"Ok, don't look now, but there's a major hottie over by the Slushie stand!"
Both Jasmine and Alexis looked to their right to see just who was the so-called hottie Mindy was talking about.
She scoffed. "No! I said don't look!"
"Well how exactly are we supposed to see him then?" Jasmine asked, annoyed.
"You're so impatient, Jazz. Just wait—if you both look now it'd be too obvious!"
Jasmine and Alexis exchanged a look and rolled their eyes. It was a Saturday afternoon, and the three friends were enjoying their day out at the beach waiting for Jaden and the guys to come. It was the first day of a rare week-long vacation off of Duel Island, since on the neighboring island was the grand opening of Kaibaland, a very hyped-up and well-publicized new theme park formed by both the Kaiba brothers. The Headmaster had been invited as a guest of honor and to win an award of some sort, so in his flattered and good spirits he allowed the whole Duel Academy have the week off and enjoy the festivities. Jasmine was grateful for the break; it seemed like the first time all three of them had been together like this in a long time. It wasn't like when they were kids, when you never saw one without the other two.
"School's been so hectic though…" thought Jasmine, trying to make an excuse. "After all, we'll be graduating soon, right?"
She turned to Alexis, who was still looking at Mindy for her signal, and realized just how little she had seen of her, ever since she met Jaden. It wasn't such a bad thing—not anymore at least, though she had to admit she didn't think too much of him at first. He kind of grew on her; there was never really a dull moment with him after all. She could see why Alexis enjoyed being with him and his friends— and, of course, it was pretty obvious Alexis had a little thing for him, though she would not admit it to anyone—but still, she couldn't help but feel a little left out at times.
"Ok! Quick! Look now, he's turned around!" Mindy not so quietly whispered.
Jasmine and Alexis finally looked to catch a glimpse of Mindy's exalted hottie—or at least, the back of his head.
"Ugh Mindy! This is totally pointless!" sighed Jasmine.
Mindy made a face, which made Alexis laugh.
"Maybe to you, Jazz, but I think I'm in love," she said the last part in a dreamy voice, then quickly resorted back to her snappy tone. "And I don't want him to think I'm like stalkerish or anything!"
"Oh, you're in love again, I see. How many times has it been this week? 15? 20?"
"Don't exaggerate! That's only five times, and it was a repeat with Chazz!" Mindy retorted matter-of-factly.
"No point in arguing now Jasmine…I think she really does keep score," Alexis joked, causing both to giggle.
"Ha ha. Very funny, Alexis. Well, at least I am open with you two about who I like! Unlike you, who tries to keep her crush on Jaden a secret even though everybody knows!"
Alexis suddenly blushed. "They do? I-I mean, why would they think that? I'm not trying to keep anything a secret! He's just a friend!"
By now she was looking down and fiddling with her fork and the leftover food she had finished eating 15 minutes ago. Jasmine and Mindy exchanged knowing smiles.
"We're not going to tell anyone, Alexis. And to tell you the truth, Jaden's as clueless as ever about it. But I think he would be thrilled to have you like him, you know," said Jasmine, causing Alexis to look up from her plate, a little smile forming on her face that she then quickly attempted to hide by taking a sip of her drink.
"Well I think when he comes you should make your move! There's nothing more romantic than a beach scene in the open…fresh air…" Mindy said, dreamily looking off into the distance, then looked back. "When are they coming again?"
Alexis blushed. "Not for another hour…and I don't know what you're talking about…I told you he's just a friend!"
"Well, oook…..if you say so…." Jasmine smirked. Her comment caused Mindy to shift her attention to her.
"And what about you, Jazz? Don't think you're spared. Who do you like?" she asked slyly.
Jasmine knew the question had been coming, but, in all honesty, she didn't have an answer.
She sighed. "No one."
"No one? Are you sure?" Mindy pressed.
"Figures Mindy wouldn't give up so easily," thought Jasmine before replying. "Yes, I'm sure…actually," began again with a plan, "now that you mention it, I think I'm gonna go say hi to that guy at the Slushie stand you were talking about." She didn't really want to, she hadn't even seen his face yet, but she knew the subject would be changed. Her non-existent love life wasn't exactly her top conversation piece.
"You wouldn't! He's mine!" Mindy gasped.
"I most certainly would, and uh, who's gonna stop me? You?"
"You know our rules! First one who sees the guy, gets the guy! And I was first…"
The two continued bickering until Alexis, who was pretty used to this, cut it off when she said, "You guys, he left already."
"Oh," They both said together, and suddenly the "fight" was over.
"Hey let's go play Frisbee!" Mindy said excitedly like she had the greatest plan ever.
Jasmine scrunched her nose while Alexis agreed to play. "What's wrong with you? Guys LOVE it when girls play Frisbee," Mindy said to Jasmine, wiggling her eyebrows, "We'll attract them by the thousands!"
"Yeah I'm sure we would, considering all the other times it hasn't happened."
"Speak for yourself! I'm a man eater."
"Right, Mindy. Anyways I look dumb playing Frisbee, and running, and you know something bad always happens to me when we do."
"That's cause you get so into it, Jazz," Alexis said, then turned to Mindy. "Remember that time she ran into the poor ice cream man's wagon? All the ice cream fell out and her butt was in his face! I bet that was the most action he'd gotten in a while!"
"Yeah that was quite the move on him, Jazz. You're quite the vixen, I must say," added Mindy. "Ice cream guys look out for flying Jasmines."
They broke into laughter causing Jasmine to say not so pleasantly, "You're not helping. Stop laughing! Stop! Arrggh…well you see now my case then!"
"Aww come on, Jazz. We're just joking! You look awesome when you play Frisbee, I swear. Let's play. You know you want toooo…" said Alexis.
She and Mindy pouted and looked at her with wide eyes.
"You guys suck." She sighed. "Fine. I'll play."
"WHOOO! Jasmine you're my hero!" cried Mindy as she ran out onto the sand. Alexis then ran out, followed by a trudging Jasmine.
"Man I HOPE I don't regret this…" she thought.
They started playing and all was going good for awhile. "Well, you know, it is kinda fun…" thought Jasmine, beginning to run to catch the Frisbee that had sailed over her head.
FWAP!
"Spoke too soon…" she thought bitterly. Then she looked up to see what she had run into—and saw it was one of the hottest guys she had ever seen.
"Or maybe not so bad…"
"O-oh! I-I'm sorry!" she said quickly, getting up and self-consciously brushing the sand off her.
"Hey, no problem!" he smiled at her, picking up the Frisbee, his side-swept brown hair blowing in the wind and blue eyes sparkling. "So you're playing Frisbee?"
She smiled back, forgiving his statement of the obvious—it was cute after all.
"Yeah, with my friends."
"That's cool," he said, then smirked. "Mind if I play with you all?"
"What? No! Come! I mean, sure! I mean, the more the merrier, you know?" she nervously spurted out, then mentally lambasted herself.
"Way to go Jazz—way to be cool and relaxed," she thought.
But he laughed and smiled wider. "Awesome. Let's go."
When she turned around she saw Alexis and Mindy watching intently a little distance away, with eyes wide with excitement and smiles plastered on their faces. She glared at them, as a signal to tone it down a bit.
As they were walking, he turned and asked, "So what's your name, Frisbee girl?"
"He already has a nickname for me," she thought, smiling.
"Jasmine," she answered.
"Jasmine. That's a pretty name…fits you perfectly."
"Wow," she thought.
"And what's your name, Mystery Man?"
He laughed lightly and looked at her with a smirk. "How about I play you for it?"
She raised an eyebrow. They then reached Alexis and Mindy, who were still smiling, and the question remained unanswered.
"Sooo Jasmine…took you long enough to get here," said Mindy slyly. She looked at the guy and her eyes widened with realization.
"Yeah that's Mindy," began Jasmine, "and that's Alexis. They're only my best friends in the whole world."
"Course we are," said Alexis.
"And what's your name?" asked Mindy, batting her eyelashes.
He smiled and looked at Jasmine. "I told Jasmine here I'd play her for it."
"Challenge accepted!" she said. "You're going down you know. It's us three against you!" she said to him.
"Hey no fair! Ah…FINE. I bet I can still beat you all."
"Don't be so sure!" she teased. "Let's huddle, team!"
The three friends used this time to gab excitedly.
"Oh my god, Jasmine! That's the guy from the Slushie stand!" said Mindy.
"Are you serious? Well you were right when you said he was cute!" Jasmine answered. "He's gorgeous and funny and…just perfect."
"He definitely likes you, Jazz, I mean he's making it so obvious," Alexis added.
She smiled. "He's perfect."
"Yeah you said…I know I wanted him before, but he's totally digging you Jazz. Go for it NOW…or I will!" laughed Mindy.
"All right, all right! Let's start the game now."
"Ok ok! I surrender!"
"Ha ha! I told you we'd win!"
The Frisbee game had somehow turned into a football/tackle match, ending with dream-guy getting pummeled. Suddenly a familiar voice called out Alexis's name. The group turned and saw it was Jaden walking along with Syrus, Atticus, Bastion, and a slightly disgruntled Chazz, who looked he had been forced to come, a bit of a distance away.
"Hey!" Alexis called back to him excitedly.
Jasmine turned back to see a very odd expression form on Slushie-guy's face, his smile fading into a sort of clenched-teeth sort of frown, a hint of worry in his eyes. She realized then he still remained nameless, and ignored his expression.
"And what's your name? Since we won…well creamed you really."
"Heh heh," he laughed nervously. She raised an eyebrow when he started shifting uncomfortably and looking to the side. "Uhh…It's Evan," he said quickly. He looked at his watch. "Hey it was real nice talking to you but I got to go."
"Oh…well ok," Jasmine said quietly, disappointed, watching him quickly walk off out of sight, seconds before Jaden and the group reached them. She turned back trying to figure what she did wrong to make him leave in such a hurry. She sighed. "Back to square one," she thought sadly.
"HEY you guys! We have arrived!" said Jaden enthusiastically. Alexis and Mindy laughed, but Jasmine was distracted, as she noticed Chazz looking with narrowed eyes in the direction Evan had just gone off to.
"Who were you all talking to?" he asked tensely, still looking off with suspicion in his eyes.
"Hm? Oh hey, where did Hottie go? We didn't even find out his name!" cried Mindy, oblivious to what had just happened, and realizing he was gone.
"He left. And his name was Evan," said Jasmine, a bit of her disappointment echoing in her answer. Mindy and Alexis exchanged looks of concerns.
"Oh," said Chazz, relaxing considerably after hearing his name.
"That's weird…what's his deal?" Jasmine thought, regarding Chazz's strange behavior. "What the hell's up with guys today?"
Everyone began talking animatedly, Mindy having a blast since Atticus and Bastion were deep in conversation with her, who were both often the objects of her affection, and Alexis laughing with Syrus over something Jaden said. The only one who wasn't talking was Chazz, who looked like he was thinking hard about something, brow furrowed and all. It was funny.
"Calculating the rocket speed and acceleration needed to reach Jupiter?" she asked, her attempt at a joke.
"Huh?" he asked confused, and looked at her like he was wondering why she was even talking to him.
"Eh…never mind," she mumbled, turning away, feeling stupid. She had never really talked to him muchanyways, it was mostly Alexis and Mindy. She was thoroughly surprised to hear him let out the tiniest late laugh. More like a grunt.
"Oh you get it now? I would think such a self-proclaimed genius like yourself would have gotten it earlier."
"Maybe it's just a stupid joke," he said, causing her to roll her eyes. "Actually," he continued, "I'm thinking about something…" He paused.
"Yeah? What?"
"….that's none of your business." With that he turned away.
"What a jerk," she thought, giving him a dirty look behind his back, and then joining in the conversation with Alexis, Jaden, and Syrus.
The end! Well of the chapter, anyway. Sorry if was sort of a slow chapter...and I don't know how a frisbee game can turn into a tackle match but ANYWAYS i think you'll forgive me right? at least you won't lock me in a cell and feed me scraps right? heh heh...please dont! well...review pretty please!
