ETERNAL DUELLIST'S LOVE

AN: OK… Chapter three… first off, thanks for the reviews. Secondly, I don't own YGO GX. I'm merely borrowing the characters from Kazuki Takashi. That's all. I DO own all original characters, so that'll keep the lawyers off my back. Thirdly, the summary… Last time, Alexis gave her answer to Jaden's proposal, and it leaned toward the positive, and reactions ranged from either positive, as is the case with their best friends, from shock, denial and finally acceptance, as Chazz had and lastly, thoughts of "I'm not letting him/her take Alexis/Jaden away." As was the case of two party crashers, whose identities I won't disclose until this chapter or next. LET'S DO IT!

Chapter Three: Rehearsal Dinner Lockdown

It had been several days after their graduation, but life for the graduating class was just beginning. Chazz was starting to work for his brothers, whom had started to treat him better, if not by much. Bastion, however, became a math tutor; Syrus became an etiquette coach while Tyranno went to enlist in the army. As for Jaden and Alexis, they moved into an apartment Atticus had bought them, and were living together. However, the celebration would have to wait, as they had a wedding to plan for.

Chumley was at his desk drawing new cards, and it was then he heard a "You've got mail" prompt. He opened it up, and saw the email.

Hey Chumley!

It's been awhile, huh? We've all graduated, and now we're heading off on separate lives. I just wanted to tell you, Alexis and me are getting married! The invite's attached.

Your bud,

Jaden

Chumley then said, underneath his breath, "It's about time, Jaden!" He opened the attachment, and there was the invitation.

You're cordially invited to the wedding of:

Jaden Marcus Yuki

And

Alexis Megan Rhodes

Date: December 25

RSVP: December 11

Groomsmen: Bastion Misawa, Tyranno Hassleberry, Chumley Huffington,

Jim Cook and Jesse Anderson

Best Man: Syrus Truesdale

Bridesmaids: Mindy Himaguchi, Sherri Winstraight, Joann Saint-Claire, Terri Fujiwara, Sandy Pilgarino and Erica Lowe

Maid of Honor: Jasmine Makita

(AN: Don't know Jasmine and Mindy's surnames in the dub, so I have to make due with their original surnames.)

Everybody had responded back as soon as they got the invites. Alexis though, was worried about the cost. Even though she was working as a lounge singer and Jaden as a small time duelling coach, it might not have been enough.

"You think we can afford this?" Alexis asked.

"Hey… I heard Atticus was gonna foot about ½ of the bill." Jaden answered. "It's not traditional, but hey, he's helping…"

"He's been pretty good to us. But then again, are you sure we can be happy? I mean… Chazz, he was depressed when he heard." Alexis said.

"Who told you?" Jaden asked.

"Jasmine. I hear they might be getting together." Alexis answered.

"Well, Jasmine DID try to win his heart a few times. But right now, I feel like I'm the luckiest guy in the world. I mean, I'm gonna get married in a few months, and I feel like there's nothing that'll stop me." Jaden said, and kissed Alexis.

"I'm glad you feel that way." Alexis replied. "Thanks for being my rock."

"Thanks for letting me." Jaden said.

As the months wore by, with tuxedo fittings and dress fittings and what not, the day of the rehearsal dinner came up. However, when the bride and groom woke up, little did they know that they were going to be in for one wild ride. It all began with a note.

Jaden,

I've got a wedding gift for you waiting at the harbour in warehouse C. Please pick it up tonight at four.

Love,

Alexis

PS – Bring your duel disc too.

Then Alexis got a note. It said,

Alexis,

My wedding gift for you is waiting at the harbour. Warehouse C. Please pick it up tonight at four.

Love,

Jaden

PS – Bring your duel disc too.

Both thought, 'Something's up.' But they went anyway. Jaden met Alexis there and asked, "So, where's the gift?"

"Beats me. I don't know why I need my duel disc with me, even though the note told me too." Alexis said.

"Hey, I'm confused as you are. I don't know why I need to duel to pick up a wedding gift." Jaden replied. "I guess my gift's in the warehouse, as is yours." They both went in, and then, someone pushed a button to close the metallic doors.

"What the?" Jaden asked the door closed behind him with a loud THUD.

"Same old slifer slacker. Clueless to a fault." A voice said from the shadows.

"Let us out!" Alexis cried.

"I will let you out… once you give me back Jaden!" another voice replied, as both owners of the voices came out from the shadows…

END CHAPTER

Another cliffhanger! If it's any indication… it could be those party crashers who I was referring to in the last chapter… R&R!
