Yu-Gi-Oh! GX; Senior Years
—————
Alexis Rhodes vs. Holly Murphy/Yuki
—————
Jaden woke up in his usual dorm room in Slifer Red, but this time he's dressed in clothes that are like his tattered ones but brand-new and fresh, in the process of refreshing he also got to shave off his facial hair and got his old haircut back two days ago. This time he's ready for class…
—————
Dr. Crowler may have lost his job at Duel Academy, but he was still a part-time proctor back at the exams just to get money. Crowler's replacement as the head of the male Obelisk Blue dorm is none other than Zane Truesdale, who appear the usual way he was in school except he's 23 years old. Unlike Chronos, he is kinder to other students but extremely strict with those who act snobby. Fonda Fontaine, not losing her touch, is still head of the young women in the female Blue dorm. Pr. Kabayama is still the usually least noticed teacher and head of Ra Yellow, the only change on him noticed is the tips of his hair is beginning to grey. Pharaoh, the late Lyman Banner's pet cat, is still around as Slifer Red's main pet.
Mokuba Kaiba, in his mid-twenties, is the new head of the Slifer Red male dormitory, since Lyman Banner disappeared. Mokuba's old friend, Rebecca Hawkins (who grew up to be like the Dark Magician Girl (she's 22 years old)), became the head of the girls' Ra Yellow dorm. As for the head of the female Red Slifer students, a lovely young woman named Urara Diethyl took up the job since she claims to be an even worse duelist than Mokuba.
Surely, the new disciplinarian/detention teacher/weightlifting class/school coach is the kid-loving Colonel Cruger who runs a new green dormitory that borrows misbehaving students from the other dorms and motivates them to behave themselves. Ms. Dorothy took up the job for the new all-girls pink dormitory to help them until they get their place in which three dorms to be in later, as well as keeping up with her job at the card shop.
Due to the new 'Kaisers of each dorms' program is in effect, so far there are 9 ('Kaiser' is a nickname for 'big man on campus' now, the female Kaisers are more referred to as Queens); the Kaiser of the Obelisk Blue men is Aster Phoenix, the Kaiser of Ra Yellow men is Bastion Misawa, Jaden Yuki's luck has given him the title of Kaiser of Slifer Red men, Alexis Rhodes has kept her title as Madonna of Obelisk Blue girls making her the dorm's Queen, poor Chazz got Kaiser title but only in the green dorms for not getting along with the other students like a big snob that he is, Blair Flannigan has returned (she skipped ahead a few grades and filled out over the last three years) and became queen of Ra Yellow (yet she's still in love with Jaden since their first duel), a shy little girl named Elaine Messiah was given top grade in the pink dorm and granted being queen of it (she's a little insecure about it), and the queen of Slifer Red turns out to be another new girl named Alicia Johnson. But the ninth title is 'Grand Kaiser'; meaning only one out of the 8 Kaisers is the true Kaiser who may participate as team leader between the 8 Kaisers. Who the Grand Kaiser is going to be is yet decided.
(A/N: Please vote for who should be the Grand Kaiser; Elaine Messiah, Chazz Princeton, Alicia Johnson, Jaden Yuki, Blair Flannigan, Bastion Misawa, Alexis Rhodes, or Aster Phoenix. Maybe best to leave out Alicia and Elaine, since they're not introduced yet.)
—————
Mokuba was prepared for his first day of teaching, he usually tells stories of his adventures with his big brother, Seto Kaiba, and Yugi and his friends; hopefully they would understand the mistakes and lessons Mokuba has experienced and learned from and learn from that. Of course, most were just interested only in the extraordinary cards he's witnessed, like the Air Fortress Ziggurat. But Jaden and a few others paid close attention. After class was over…
Syrus asks Jaden with a smile, "Hey, Jay; are you ready for some after-school dueling?" Jaden shakes his head, "I'm sorry, Sy. But I've got other plans, but you're welcome to come if you'd like." Tyranno was amazed, "You've got plans?" Jaden checked his watch, "For the next day or so I'm afraid. Sorry." Then he walked off, leaving his friends in confusion.
Where Alexis, Mindy, and Jasmine are, who were standing outside of the school, they noticed the new student Holly Murphy was done with her homework, but right now reading some manga. Alexis came up to her and gently asks her, "Hey, I'm Alexis Rhodes." Holly notices her and replies with a bright smile, "Hey there, I'm Holly." Alexis asks, "Would you like to be friends?" Holly smiled, "I'd love that."
Then Holly heard her D.A. pocket computer beep, she looked at it, and gasped, she politely got and apologized, "But I've got to get going; I'm being called by someone important to me. Let's try again later, Alexis." Alexis shrugs, "Okay." Holly gathered her things and ran off. Jasmine scoffs, "What a snob."
An empty feeling began welling up inside Alexis, she didn't move an inch until Holly was at least 80 paces away from her; finally she followed Holly… all the way to the men's Red Slifer dorm.
Jaden appeared to be waiting for Holly there. The younger student duelist picked up speed and ran into Jaden's arms in joy! As the two hugged away, Alexis found out what the empty feeling was: heartbreak.
The next morning at breakfast, Alexis looked completely out of it. Alexis first looked like she was eating pretend food off an empty plate. Mindy sweat-drops and asks, "Alexis, are you really that hungry?" Alexis replied (sounds totally out of it as well), "I'll take anything." After being given some scrambled eggs, Alexis poured a lot of Tabasco sauce on them before she went to eat them! The taste wasn't enough for her to snap out of it or even notice it. Jasmine was freaked, "Um, Lexi, normally you don't eat your eggs with Tabasco sauce." Alexis' only reply was, "Oh, really? I didn't even notice." Then she went to eating Mindy's napkin! Jasmine slapped Alexis across the face—— finally she snaps back into reality, but in a little shock.
Alexis slowly stuttered out, "I am so sorry, guys. I was just having a breakdown, that's all. I can get over it." But after walking a few paces away from the table… she wailed out, "OH! I'M PATHETIC!"
Holly was heard, "Excuse me?" Alexis snapped back into reality again and quickly turned to face Holly, she slowly calmed down and recovered as she spoke to her, "Holly… I'm sorry… I'm just… having a major… breakdown." Holly shrugs, "I believe from what I've witnessed, you're suffering heartbreak."
Many girls in the dorm, including Alexis, gasped in total amazement! Alexis became too embarrassed to handle it and fainted away!
As Alexis woke up, she found Syrus and Chazz staring down at her with concern… she slowly got up, finding herself in the nurse's office. Mindy asks her, "Are you really suffering a broken heart, Alexis?" Alexis felt calmer, she answered, "Unfortunately, yes. Holly is with Jaden like a boyfriend and girlfriend." Jasmine smirks, "Had to come out, hadn't it?" Mindy shrugs, "Even the teachers are calling her Holly Yuki instead of Holly Murphy."
That was the very last straw for Alexis; she got up from the bed and punched a hole through the wall with a single fist! Mindy gulped in fear, "What's wrong?" Jasmine followed, "Was it something we said?" Alexis gathered her things and walked out of the nurse's office.
Chazz was eavesdropping for two reasons; he was worried about Alexis because he loves her with all his heart and the talk about how jealous she is over Holly and Jaden being together may give him a chance with her!
That night, Alexis stood alone on the lighthouse dock, staring at the sea… hopefully she could find peace in her usual place.
Holly showed up and said, "I'm sorry for that today, Alexis." Alexis notices her, but this time feeling calm, she asks her, "May I ask why you're here and how you found me?" Holly answered, "Your friends, Jazz and Min, looked angry with me, they say that I've placed you into a fit of jealousy. I want to apologize for all that trouble. But I don't know much about you, except that you're Jaden's future wife according to some graduate's gibberish, so Pr. Truesdale told me you usually go here. So, I'm sorry."
Alexis sighs, "I just hope Jaden has a happy life together with you instead of me." Holly irked, "Why would I want to spend the rest of my life with him like that? I love him a lot, but not that much!" Alexis was confused, "What do you mean? I've heard from my friends that the teachers now called you 'Mrs. Yuki' instead of 'Ms. Murphy.'"
Holly said, "Jaden's not into incest and he's nothing more than my big brother." Alexis' heart skipped a beat rapidly, "Say what? Your big brother?" Holly nods, "When we were little, our parents were getting divorced, but sometime before summer vacation Holly got the news that they're in tears since they left each other for all that time and they finally made up. So I went from Murphy, from my mother's maiden name, back to Yuki."
Alexis felt relieved, "Then why did you two hang out a lot lately for the afternoon yesterday?" Holly corrected her and then answered, "Actually you went unconscious for a day. He's promised me that when we're both in Duel Academy, we'd have the whole birthday of mine to ourselves, and any friends if possible. Because we were so far apart, since we haven't seen much of each other for a while, we've decided to have some extra fun before the big day I turn 16."
Alexis smiled, "So… he's a doting big brother when you're around him." Holly smiles back, "Ever since we came back together again." Then they both laughed a little. Alexis asks, "So when's your 16th birthday?" Holly answers, "Tomorrow. I want to be friends with you, I hope this little misunderstanding can be forgiven." Alexis pats her on the back, "Of course I forgive you. But, I hope you've got some great cards; because to settle matters, I think we should see how great a Duelist you could be. If you win, I'll accept you as an acceptable sister-in-law." Holly nods, "I'm all for it. But only if you truly free up to being with my brother for the rest of your life."
Neither of them suspects that the other students in the school are watching them both. Too bad none of them are hearing them sharply enough (yet).
Jasmine says, "What? First Alexis was jealous of her for just being with Jaden?" Mindy nods, "This is definitely strange, now they're acting like good friends. Could this be a rouse?"
"Duel!" (Now things are loud enough for the secret audience to hear) (Alexis; 8000 LP/Holly; 8000 LP)
Holly said, "You're my senior, so you can go first." Alexis takes the honors, "Okay. I start my turn by playing Etoile Cyber!" Her traditional ice skater girl in red with long flowing red hair monster appeared! (Etoile Cyber; warrior-effect-Earth/L: 4/ATK: 1200/DEF: 1600) "I also place a card facedown."
Holly draws her first card, "Okay, I'll start things off by playing Maho Shoujo Brigit Pyro in attack mode." After the holographic card appeared, a young and lovely teenaged girl in a pure white Sailor school-girl uniform with a short red skirt appeared; a red ribbon sat on top of the back of her skirt, a red ribbon resides on her center chest, a red fireball crystal laid in the center front of her chest ribbon, silver pearl-like gloves that reach from the tips of her nails up to her elbows, she's wearing red knee-length high heel boots, her uniform has a red tail collar, a red choker with a golden sun in front is tight around her neck, under both of her ears hung a red ruby earring, and a golden tiara with a single ruby is worn upon her forehead! This Duel Monster is a red-haired beauty with strong legs. (Maho Shoujo Brigit Pyro; type: spellcaster-Fire/LS: 3/ATK: 1500/DEF: 800)
Sy blushes, "She's hot!" Tyranno nods, "I think I'm in love." Bastion tried his best to fight his hormones. Chazz and Atticus couldn't hold it back and said in unison, "I like her already."
Holly says to Alexis, "Unlike that practice deck you've seen in my proctor exams, this is my real deck. Back to the duel, I also play a spell card called M-Magical Showtime (spell card) to multiply her." A red-colored 'M' appeared and disappeared into the red Maho Shoujo and in a flash, she multiplied by 5! "And then have the original Brigit attack your Etoile Cyber! Pyro Burst!" The Brigit in the center attacked by throwing a ball of fire at Alexis' Etoile Cyber!
Alexis countered, "I play Doble Passe (trap card) to have us take direct damage from both our monsters! When Etoile Cyber attacks you directly, you get dealt with 500 extra points of damage!" Etoile Cyber (ATK: 1700) dodged the fireball and dance-kicked Holly dead-center in the chest as Brigit's Pyro Burst got to Alexis! (Alexis; 6500 LP/Holly; 6300 LP)
Alexis got up from the attack, "Go ahead and attack with those copies." Holly shakes her head, "I cannot." Alexis asks, "Why? Would it be too much of a shame being called an honorable duelist if you don't attack your opponent?" Holly answered, "I can't attack with these Maho Shoujo Tokens because I have to wait 7 turns since I have created them with my Magical Showtime spell card. You see, when I create these tokens with that card, the tokens have to wait and rest up for a number of turns equal to the number of them plus the level of the monster they're created from. This is just turn one."
Alexis nods as she starts her turn, "Okay, I accept that. I play Cyber Tutu in attack mode!" A girl with short pink hair and clad in a red-and-blue bodysuit appeared, she is also dressed in a sky-blue transparent tutu, pink ballet shoes, a red rose on top of each of her hands, and a blue visor over her eyes. (Cyber Tutu; warrior-effect-Earth/L: 3/ATK: 1000/DEF: 800) "Since she is facing monsters with higher attack points than her, she can attack your Life Points directly."
Alexis also mentions, "To make sure you know I'm going to be serious that you should too, I also play Cyber Dance Stage (spell card/continuous)." A circular dancing stage appeared beneath the feet of Alexis and her monsters. "As long as this is on my side of the field, all warrior-type monsters with 'Cyber' in their names that I control get 200 extra attack points per each of their individual levels." (Etoile Cyber; ATK: 2000) (Cyber Tutu; ATK: 1600) "Now I have them both attack you!"
Cyber Tutu leaped over the Brigit Pyro Tokens and attacked Holly! (Holly; 4700 LP) Etoile Cyber kicked one of the Brigit Pyro clones, but the monster exploded into a ball of flames instead of exploding into pixels. Holly explained with a slight giggle, "These Maho Shoujo Tokens has a useful effect that gets them to protect the original, like diversionary targets. Even though I get battle damage since they are solid clones." (Holly; 4200 LP)
Holly says, "Of course, I've also activated a quick-play spell card from my hand called Magical Strawberry (spell card/quick-play); when you damaged me as a result of battle, I get to draw the same number of cards equal to that of the damage I took during your turn; 1 card drawn from my deck per 500 points of battle damage, and I count four."
Alexis was impressed, "I guess that manga novel you were reading when we first met was of superhero girls; your deck seems to be full of them." Holly took it well (real well), "Well, of course it is, plus other cards to support them."
Syrus sighs, "Man, I want one." Tyranno pushed Sy over, "Move over, dude! Let the bigger guys go for the lady first!" Bastion was with Tyranno on one part of it, "I'm the eldest, so I should get to be in front." Atticus butted in confidently, "No way, I'm the eldest, I get in first; after all, I'm the most good-looking here." Chazz scoffs, "After Elemental Hero Xeno-Wolf Whirlwind, that is."
A young girl with pink hair from the Pink Girls Dorm sung a little, "Long, long ago there were 5 duelists. Like the land, he is unwavering, supporting everyone as the color of resolution: the Green Forest Duelist! Like the wind, she is refreshing, carrying dreams as the color of hope: the Pink Rainbow Duelist! Like the water; she is pure, she possesses rustic beauty as the color of affection; the Blue Ocean Duelist! Like the lightning, he sparks, he is gifted with wit as the color of intelligence: the Yellow Bolt Duelist! Like the flame, he is spirited, his heart burns with fire with the color of passion: the Red Inferno Duelist! Dashing in front is daring and bold color Red, Yellow, Blue, and Pink following, pulling along the Green color at the end. These 5, each of them possesses true strength! There is no job too big for them to do!"
Alexis and Holly heard the song. Alexis said to them, "If you're going to comment, you peanut gallery, come on out into our point of view and announce yourselves." Holly called to the singer, "Elaine, I like that song you've just sang!" Of course, the observers came into view to watch the duel as it went on.
Holly starts her turn "I summon Maho Shoujo Ruby Geo!" A pure white Sailor school-girl uniform with a short brown skirt appeared; a brown ribbon sat on top of the back of her skirt, a brown ribbon resides on her center chest, a brown crystal with the Chinese word for 'stone' laid in the center front of her chest ribbon, silver pearl-like gloves that reach from the tips of her nails up to her elbows, she's wearing brown knee-length high heel boots, her uniform has a brown tail collar, a brown choker with a copper shield charm in front is tight around her neck, under both of her ears hung a brown crystal earring, and a bronze tiara with a single brown crystal is worn upon her forehead! This Duel Monster is a brown-haired beauty with a large bust and strong legs. (Maho Shoujo Ruby Geo; spellcaster-Earth/L: 3/ATK: 800/DEF: 2600)
"Then I use my Courageous Charge (spell card) to give up 1000 of my Life Points and have only Ruby attack you directly! Geo Shockwave!" The Maho Shoujo of Earth slammed her palm into the ground and created a powerful tremor from it! Alexis says, "Don't tell me, I also receive damage equal to Ruby's defense points?" Holly nods, "Yes." (Alexis; 3100 LP/Holly; 3200 LP)
Holly says, "Next, I play Half Fusion (spell card) to fuse my Maho Shoujo Brigit and Ruby together to form Maho Shoujo Valerie Volcano. Then I special summon the Maho Shoujo used to create her in defense position and with only half the original attack and defense powers." The two Maho Shoujo kneeled down in defense position and lost half their strength (Brigit; ATK: 750/DEF: 400) (Ruby; ATK: 400/DEF: 1300) as the new Maho Shoujo showed up——
This Duel Monster is a red and brown-haired beauty with a large bust and strong legs that wears pure white Sailor school-girl uniform with a short brown skirt; a red ribbon sat on top of the back of her skirt, a red ribbon resides on her center chest, an orange crystal with the Chinese word for 'lava' laid in the center front of her chest ribbon, silver pearl-like gloves that reach from the tips of her nails up to her elbows, she's wearing brown knee-length high heel boots, her uniform has an orange tail collar, a brown choker with a bronze shield charm in front is tight around her neck, under both of her ears hung an amber crystal earring, and a bronze tiara with a single orange crystal is worn upon her forehead! (Maho Shoujo Valerie Volcano; spellcaster-fusion-effect-Earth/L: 6/ATK: 1000/DEF: 2500)
Alexis asks, "Why bother trying to fuse a monster and keep the fusion materials behind on the field, only weakened?" Holly explains that, "I play Mass Magical Stone Excavation (spell card) to discard my whole hand and place as many spell cards I have in my Graveyard and choose the same number of spell cards in my deck and place them in my hand then I shuffle my deck. The cards I choose from my Graveyard are Magical Strawberry, Courageous Charge, and Half Fusion. The spell cards I choose from my deck will be Polymerization (spell card), Card of Sanctity (spell card), and another Polymerization."
Alexis asks, "Do you have any extra Valerie Volcano cards in your fusion deck like that? Because I don't know why have two Polymerization cards in your hand if you don't have any other fusion material monsters." Holly corrected her, "One of the cards I've discarded from my hand was a special spell card called New Maho Shoujo Dramatic Entrance (spell card), have you ever heard of a spell card called 'Ojamagic'? It's sort of like that; once it's sent from my hand or side of the field to the graveyard, I can bring out 1 of each of the following Maho Shoujo to my hand; Maho Shoujo Brigit Pyro, Maho Shoujo Ruby Geo, Maho Shoujo Asuka Aero, Maho Shoujo Hotaru Hydro, Maho Shoujo Yuki Yami, and Maho Shoujo Haruka Hikari. If I exclude any of them, and I'm allowed to, you and I get 800 per card." (Alexis; 5500 LP/Holly; 5600 LP)
Alexis tried to keep track, "So you've excluded three?" Holly nods, "Then I use Polymerization to fuse Asuka, Hotaru, and Haruka together to form Maho Shoujo Hikari Hurricane!"
Three lights (one of green, one of blue, and one of yellow) flew from her hand and fused to form a new monster; a platinum blonde beauty with a perfect body dressed in pure white Sailor school-girl uniform with a short blue-green skirt; a light blue-green ribbon sat on top of the back of her skirt, a light blue-green ribbon resides on her center chest, a diamond spiral laid in the center front of her chest ribbon, silver pearl-like gloves that reach from the tips of her nails up to her elbows, she's wearing blue-green knee-length high heel boots, her uniform has a blue-green tail collar, a light blue-green choker with a glowing star charm in front is tight around her neck, under both of her ears hung a blue-green crystal earring, and a gold tiara with a single blue-green crystal is worn upon her forehead. (Maho Shoujo Hikari Hurricane; spellcaster-fusion-effect-Light/L: 9/ATK: 2500/DEF: 2400)
Holly adds in, "Her power is increased depending on the number of normal spell cards in my Graveyard, as long as they involve my Maho Shoujo. (Hikari Hurricane; ATK: 3400) Your turn, Alexis."
Alexis nods as she takes her turn, "Okay, I summon another Cyber Tutu!" As another Cyber Tutu appeared and had her feet touch the ground, a pillar of lava blasted vertically from beneath her and destroyed her! Alexis asks, "Was that an effect from Valerie?" Holly nods, "As long as she's on the field, two of your monster zones are automatically permanent literal death traps for any monster standing on it." Alexis said, "And you've gotten a better defense against my Cyber Tutu; she can't attack you directly now that you have three monsters that for now are at least equal and lower than her attack strength."
Alexis went on the attack anyway, "But it doesn't mean that I can't destroy those weakened Maho Shoujo!" But as Alexis went to attack, a powerful barrier has blocked her! Alexis asks, "What just happened?" Holly answered, "My spell card in my graveyard, Grave Shield (spell card), it grants me a barrier that's protects me and my monsters by the most number of monsters in my Graveyard. If you had more, I wouldn't attack you." Alexis smirked, "You're extremely clever as you are lucky, just like Jaden."
Jaden nods, "Comes in the family." Chazz became shocked, "What? Comes in the family? As in Holly's——" Everyone was shocked, "YOUR SISTER?" Jaden nods, "Yes." Mindy twitches like crazy and asks, "You mean to say that we've all been all running around all this time just to believe that you've already fallen for this girl, who in truth is just your baby sister?"
Chazz was shocked even more, "But her last name was Murphy!" Jaden answered, "When we were little, our parents were getting divorced, but sometime before summer vacation Holly got the news that they're in tears since they left each other for all that time and they finally made up."
Blair asks, "Then why were you two dating? Or what appeared to be dating?" Jaden said, "I've promised her that when we're both in Duel Academy, we'd have the whole birthday of mine to ourselves, and any friends if possible. Since we haven't seen much of each other for a while, we've decided to have some extra fun before the big day she turns 16, which is tomorrow."
Syrus and Zane said in unison, behind Jaden's back, "Doting big brother." Jaden does his old yet cool signature pose with smile on his face, "Is that a compliment?"
Alexis sighs, "Okay, I place a card facedown and end my turn."
Holly said, "I play Graceful Charity (spell card) to draw 3 cards and then discard 2. Then I play Card Destruction (spell card) to force us both to discard our hands and draw the same number of cards we've had before. Next I play C-Celestial Rebirth (spell card) to revive a Maho Shoujo to the field; come back to us Hotaru."
A young and lovely teenaged girl in a pure white Sailor school-girl uniform with a short blue skirt; a blue ribbon sat on top of the back of her skirt, a blue ribbon resides on her center chest, a blue raindrop crystal laid in the center front of her chest ribbon, silver pearl-like gloves that reach from the tips of her nails up to her elbows, she's wearing blue knee-length high heel boots, her uniform has a blue tail collar, a blue choker with a silver dolphin tail fin in front is tight around her neck, under both of her ears hung a blue dewdrop earring, and a silver tiara with a single sapphire is worn upon her forehead! This Duel Monster is a blue-haired beauty with slim body. (Maho Shoujo Hotaru Hydro; spellcaster-Water/L: 3/ATK: 1200/DEF: 1200)
Holly declared, "Now for the final card! For the following letters in my Graveyard; M-Magical Showtime, A-Angelic Heart, G-Guardian's Destiny, I-Inner Elemental, and C-Celestial Rebirth, I remove them from play just to activate this mighty spell card called 'Magic Team Shining Attack!' (spell card)." Alexis asks, "Don't tell me; it gets you to special summon Maho Shoujo to your field until there's not an empty monster zone left belonging to you and allows your monsters to attack me directly." Holly says, "Actually it gets me to special summon monsters from my hand, deck, graveyard, out of play zone, and/or fusion deck no matter what. During the turn this card is activated, all of my Maho Shoujo get to attack you directly and you can't activate any card effects to counter it." Alexis smiles and nods, "Go for it, Holly."
Valerie, Ruby, Hotaru, Brigit, and Hikari stood together and shouted together, "Magic Team Shining Attack!" Together with a blast of lava, boulders, water, fireballs, and light-like energy, the Maho Shoujo delivered 6150 points worth of damage to Alexis. (Alexis; 0 LP/Holly; 5600 LP)
Holly helped up Alexis, "That was a very excellent duel." Alexis smiles, "As Jaden would say it——" they said it in unison, "And that's game!" then the two of them laughed!
Chazz's shock was too much for him, "That perfect Obelisk is the Slifer Slacker's little sister?" Syrus was okay with it now, "Well, at least we both have something in common; we've got siblings." Blair fell to her knees, "I need a vacation; this is too much for me."
The next morning, everyone began to party for the now 16-year-old birthday girl!
The five dorms of the academy were having a party with their friends and family on a boat (Aster filled that in, not Chazz) in celebration of Holly Yuki's 16th birthday. Above the bar was a banner, which read:
'Happy Birthday, Holly Yuki'
Jaden was talking to Principal Sheppard, who had just come back after hearing the misunderstandings. They then walked over to Alexis, who was standing with Mindy and Jasmine.
Jaden came over, "Hey, Alexis! Dr. Hawkins has just informed me that you've mistaken Holly for my girlfriend, but I want you to know——" Alexis stopped him, "Forget about it, Jaden; I feel a whole lot better!" Holly said, "Better than good or great!" as she walked back over to her and Jaden alongside the other two. She then handed Alexis a drink she asked for and held up her own glass. They both laughed, Holly said, "We're going to have to get along like the Three Musketeers. You is the Athos, Mindy is the Porthos, Jasmine is the Aramis, and me as the D'Artagnan." Alexis smiles, "I like the sound of that!" as the four of them made a rather large group hug.
Tyranno groans in complaints, "OH, that's so wrong!" But then he saw aloud of girls that are too cute to ignore waving their hands inviting him to come over. He smiles and rubbed his hands together as he went over to them. He declared, "Okay, I need names… and shots!"
Blair said to Elaine, "Hey… you shouldn't be so shy when you sing in the school choir this year. Okay? Because I like your song." Elaine gulps but gladly says, "Okay, I'm Ms. Pop Star now." Atticus showed up from out of nowhere and asks, "How about an inter-dorm partnership to be the entertainment star duo of the school since my sister rejected me?" Elaine shyly nods.
Chazz began moving fast though the crowds and calling out, "Clear the way people! Jurassic Park-face is in the hiz-ouse!" Tyranno had the last straw, "Why you!" he chased after his laughing schoolmate!
Jaden sighed, "Weirdoes." as the chase wrote out 'Happy Birthday Holly' on the deck!
Holly laughs at what everybody's doing, "The boys here are very funny!" Alexis shrugs, "You have no idea."
