Last Time On Stepping Out Of The Shadows
"I know your not the true Alexis, because she's the girl I met when I first joined Duel Academy." Jaden replied.
"Jaden's right, I know my sissy better than anyone. She was never this arrogant and she didn't have to brainwash her besties so that they would like her." Atticus said.
"Shut up Atticus, she didn't brainwash us at all!" Mindy responded.
"That's right we loved our icy sweet bestie all on our own." Jasmine added.
"That's right dorks. We've always existed deep within our souls, we just needed to awaken our true selves." Alexis grinned.
"Exactly, my true name is totally White Jasmine." Jasmine proudly declared.
"And I'm like so truly named White Mindy. Of course you dorks would never understand that." Mindy said, smirking.
"Are you gonna accept the Sarges challenge or would you rather retreat?" Tyranno asked Alexis.
"Of course I'm going to accept, but we do things on my terms, MY time." Alexis sneered coldly.
"Hold on Jaden this could be a trap!" Syrus warned.
"It may be, but I have no choice if I wanna save her. I accept!" Jaden replied boldly.
"When the holy midnight shrine falls tonight, I'll crush you with my new deck." Alexis smirked confidently.
The three girls then turned around and walked off out of the arena.
End Flashback
At last the threesome of Jasmine, Mindy and Alexis were once again reunited. After such a long time spent apart because of the Society Of Light finally they had come together again. Only this time they all served the glorious and radiant Light Of Truth. "Sukie, Jazzy I'm really sorry I called you whores and I feel just awful that I ruined your special dress Jazzy." Mindy said in a soft tone apologizing for her horrible past actions, as they walked through the halls of the white dorm.
"Its okay Min, we forgive you." Alexis answered sweetly, flashing her friend her trademark icy-sweet smile.
"Besides that was your dark side doing all those evil things, we know the true White Mindy would never hurt her besties." Jasmine said smiling lovingly towards Mindy.
"Thanks girls, I promise to make up for my dark side's mistakes by being a faithful servant to the Light" Mindy promised as Jasmine and Alexis then stopped in front of a white door. "This is Master Saiou's private quarters. It is your destiny to meet our glorious leader and learn from his wisdom." Jasmine explained.
"He changed our lives." Alexis giggled. Before she had met her master, Alexis had all the confidence in the world, but she went about it all the wrong way, especially when it came to Mindy and Jasmine as she frequently mocked their dueling skills, but once she opened her eyes to the Light, her life changed forever. It's a day she would forever cherish in her heart, much like Mindy would forever cherish this day.
"I can't wait to meet him girls!" She smiled brightly. Mindy's eyes seemed to light up with pure joy at the prospect of meeting their beloved leader.
Jasmine gently knocked on the door. "Master Saiou its Jasmine and Alexis. We bring a student with us a student who has embraced the Light!" Jasmine explained happily.
"Please do come in." Saiou commanded in a calm, understanding tone. There was an air of clear reverence about him.
Jasmine carefully opened the door and they came into his room and found Saiou sitting in an executive glass chair with a glass table laid out in front of him and a tarot deck sitting on the table.
"Good morning ladies." Saiou replied with a kind smile.
"Good morning Master Saiou." Jasmine replied respectfully. Jasmine bowed her head while performing a curtsey to show her respect to the man she deeply respected.
Alexis happily and eagerly curtseyed. She owed her very life to Saiou and the Society of Light and there wasn't anything she wouldn't do in order to show her devotion and respect.
Mindy could feel a strong aura of light exuding from his body as Saiou stood up from his chair. "Mindy Parker it is a pleasure to meet you." He said his voice exuding purity with each word he spoke.
Mindy blushed lightly as she bowed her head and then performed her own curtsey. "I am deeply honored to meet you Master Saiou." She respectfully replied.
"I can tell you have been blessed with the Light's radiance." Saiou noted with a proud smile.
"Yes I have sir, Jasmine helped me see the Light!" Mindy replied happily.
"Thank you Jasmine my dear for bringing yet another student into the Society of Light." Saiou said in a thankful way.
"You're welcome my master. It was my pleasure to save Mindy from the darkness and help her see the Light!" Jasmine responded, giggling excitedly.
"Master if I may..." Alexis smiled, giggling.
"Yes you may my sweet White Ice Queen." He said turning to face her as he smiled.
"Jaden Yuki's challenged me to a duel." Alexis smirked.
"Ah young Jaden Yuki, the chosen duelist and the strongest force of darkness has challenged my Apostle Of Light to a duel. This is a very interesting development. This all makes sense with what the tarot cards revealed to me this morning. You see girls early today I was told of a new member joining our ranks and as you can see Mindy Parker is that person. But my cards also revealed an intense battle of Light against Dark." Saiou explained.
"Me against him right sir?" Alexis asked with a smile.
"That would make sense with what you have told me my dear." Saiou responded calmly.
"Master Saiou, Jaden will be a difficult challenger with his Neo-Spacians." Mindy said softly, fearing for her bestie.
Saiou turned to face Mindy as he gently placed his hand on her shoulder. "He will indeed, but you must have faith in destiny. My cards have already revealed the victory of light over darkness in this battle. Though Jaden's Neo-Spacian cards exude a form of darkness from them, they can't defeat the light that radiates from all of White Alexis's monsters. She is destined to win and nothing Jaden Yuki does can defeat her." Saiou proudly declared.
"Of course I am. He can never beat the Society of Light!" Alexis laughed happily.
"That's right my beautiful Queen. Very soon Jaden Yuki will be joining us in the Society Of Light, am I right girls?" Saiou asked.
"Yes of course Master." Mindy replied.
"Tonight that thick headed Jaden will finally see the Light!" Jasmine added excitedly.
"Mindy may I see your deck?" Saiou asked.
Mindy smiled and happily handed over her deck.
Saiou immediately tossed it in his waste basket.
He reached into one of the drawers in his nearby desk and pulled out a deck. "Mindy Parker, I entrust this Fairy Deck to you. May these cards serve you well from this moment on." Saiou said, smiling.
Mindy gleefully accepted the deck and bowed to her master. "Thank you sir I am deeply honored to have such a powerful new deck!" Mindy replied.
"Your welcome and allow me to offer you this sacred White Veil Spell card." He said with a smile as he handed it to her.
"Oh thank you sir I am so happy to be gifted with the Society's trademark card!" Mindy squealed.
"And this is my final gift. A key to the room next to White Alexis. Now you can always be near your besties." Saiou said with a smile.
She accepted the key smiling brightly. "Thank you Master for everything you have done for me." Mindy giggled as she curtseyed one more time in respect.
"You ladies may be excused." Saiou replied.
Alexis smiled, bowing sweetly.
Jasmine followed in suit along with Mindy.
After they bowed Saiou watched the three ladies leave his private quarters.
Shortly after meeting with Saiou, Mindy was shown to her new room. She admired all of the white that covered her new dorm room. "This is so much better than that trashy Slifer dorm." Mindy snickered.
"You're right girl this is way better." Jasmine agreed.
"Though White Alexis has the coolest prettiest room of them all." Mindy playfully teased.
Alexis giggled, playfully blushing.
"Its so true." Jasmine agreed.
"By the way Sukie, I've had this question on my mind, I've been wanting to ask you?" Jasmine asked innocently.
"Sure what's up?" Alexis asked in reply.
"Your so beautiful and stylish I've wanted to ask if you've ever worn make up before?" Jasmine asked shyly.
"No I haven't." Alexis giggled.
Jasmine and Mindy giggled from her response.
"Make-up can really enhance a girl's natural beauty, right Jasmine?" Mindy said.
"Totally agree with ya on that one Min!" Jasmine agreed.
"I bet Sukie would look so pretty wearing make up. I mean can you imagine some eyeshadow maybe a little eyeliner and blush not to forget lipstick and nail polish!" Mindy exclaimed.
This made Jasmine imagine Alexis covered in beautiful make up. "Don't you agree Jazzy?" Mindy asked.
This image caused Jasmine to blush lightly and gaze off dreamily.
"Hello earth to Jazzy?" Mindy called out as Jasmine snapped out of her dreamy haze.
"Right..right she sure would Min." Jasmine quickly responded.
"Hey Jazzy we should all three get a complete facial make-over. Don't you have like a ton of make up?" Mindy asked.
"Yeah, but Min we never asked Alexis if she even wants to wear make up." Jasmine answered before turning to Alexis.
"Honestly don't mind Mindy and her crazy ideas, we can always get in some dueling practice instead." Jasmine replied innocently.
"Actually I'd love to wear makeup." Alexis giggled.
"Aww...you really mean it girlfriend?" Jasmine asked.
"Sure do." Alexis smiled.
"Then allow me to show you my make up." Jasmine eagerly grasp her besties hands and dragged them back to Alexis' room.
Jasmine grabbed a bag full of make up and set it on the coffee table in front of her couch.
The three girls sat down on the couch and Jasmine emptied her bag of all her make-up. She then searched through her make up she began finding all the various bottles, containers and brushes she would need.
Once she had everything they needed group together Jasmine had just one question. "Who wants to go first?" Jasmine asked.
"Since Sukie has never worn make up before lets do her make-up last." Mindy suggested.
"Sure thing girlfriend." Jasmine smiled.
"After all Sukie is the prettiest girl in the entire academy so its like saving the best for last." Jasmine teased giggling playfully.
Alexis blushed, turning away shyly.
"Actually I take that back your not just the prettiest girl in the entire academy. Your the prettiest, most beautiful girl in the whole world." Jasmine said playfully winking to Sukie.
"Aww Jazzy stop.." Alexis giggled.
"Sukie your beauty is unparalleled by any other, you have this special one of a kind beauty." Jasmine sweetly said enjoying the site of Alexis' playful shyness.
"Even you?" Alexis asked, surprised.
"Yep, totally more beautiful than I could ever dream of being." Jasmine giggled.
"No way." Alexis smiled.
"You don't think so Sukie?" Jasmine asked, curious.
"We're all the most beautiful girls in the universe." Alexis smiled proudly.
"That's true and this make up will only make us even prettier!" Mindy exclaimed.
"Let me show you how I apply Mindy's make up." Jasmine giggled.
"Okay first step is making sure your hands are clean by washing them. We don't want any dirt getting on our perfectly pure faces. Since that's already done we can apply our moisturizer." She explained.
Jasmine carefully applied moisturizer on Mindy's face. She then applied concealer and followed it up with foundation then to finish off she dusted a light translucent powder to finish that part off.
"This stuff sets up for the blush and eyeshadow. But I usually like to start with the white." She grinned. She picked up a small container with a shimmering white color in the container. "Doesn't that color look so pretty?" Jasmine asked showing Alexis the color.
"It sure does!" Alexis squealed happily.
"I'm gonna use this same color on your eyes bestie. I start by applying this color on Mindy's eyelid and just above her eye." Jasmine explained as Mindy closed her eyes and had the shimmery white brushed onto her skin.
"It really makes her eyes pop doesn't it?" Jasmine asked as she grabbed the eyeliner.
"Sure does." Alexis giggled.
"Now I'm gonna apply some white eyeliner to pull the look together." She explained as she carefully applied the eyeliner above Mindy's eyelashes.
"Now I finish with some mascara to really bring out her eyelashes." She giggled as she carefully applied the mascara.
"All done with her eyes girl. Now I can move onto her lips and I'm thinking a simple light shade of pink will work perfectly." She smiled happily as she grabbed the lipstick and applied it on Mindy's lips.
"Now I'll finish with some blush on her cheeks to pull the look together." Jasmine picked a light blush and applied it to the apples of her cheeks.
"And that's it I'm done." Jasmine said smiling.
"How do I look Sukie?" Mindy asked smiling.
"Beautiful." Alexis said.
"Sukie is right have a look." Jasmine giggled as she handed Mindy a mirror.
"You're right I do." Mindy smiled at her beautiful reflection.
"Now it's your turn Jazzy." Mindy smiled.
After several minutes, Mindy had finished with Jasmine's look. The eyeshadow and eyeliner were the same, but she went for a deeper pink color on the lips.
"You look so pretty, doesn't she Sukie?" Mindy asked Alexis.
"She sure does." Alexis giggled.
"Its your turn now bestie, are you ready?" Jasmine asked.
"You bet." She grinned.
Jasmine applied the foundation evenly on Alexis' face. She followed up with the moisturizer. She continued by taking the shimmery white eyeshadow and applying it on her eyelids. The eyeliner came next and the mascara followed as she had finished her eyes.
"You're already looking so beautiful and I haven't even gotten to the lips or cheeks yet." Jasmine teased.
"Awww Jazzy stop.." She giggled.
Jasmine giggled as well. "You two are so adorable and icy sweet." Mindy teased.
"Aww Mindy." Jasmine blushed grabbing a shimmering pink lipstick. She applied the lipstick and then a light powder blush.
"I'm all done girlfriend." Jasmine backed up admiring the simply stunning look of Alexis wearing make up.
"Lemme see!" Alexis exclaimed.
Mindy handed her a mirror to see her new look for the first time.
Jasmine was speechless gazing dreamily at Alexis.
Alexis blushed at her reflection, blown away by her beauty. "All Jasmine did was enhance your natural beauty and highlight your perfections." Mindy said with a bright smile.
"You look so amazing Sukie..." Jasmine gasped.
"Aww girls.." Alexis blushed.
Jasmine and Mindy pulled Alexis into a group hug. "Your our totally beautiful icy sweet bestie." Jasmine said with icy sweetness.
"And we love you so much." Mindy added in a sweet loving voice.
Alexis lovingly kissed their cheeks.
The two girls giggled from her kisses. "You have such soft lips." Mindy teased.
"They feel cold and yet sweet at the same time." Jasmine teased.
Alexis blushed more.
"You look so cute when your blushing." Jasmine teased.
"It really shows off your innocence." Mindy teased.
This made Alexis blush more.
"Hey besties you know what would make our new looks complete?" Mindy said.
"What's that Min?" Jasmine asked.
"Painting our nails a pure white!" Mindy exclaimed.
"That's perfect!" Alexis giggled happily.
Jasmine grabbed the nail polish bottle and within 10 minutes all 3 ladies of the light had perfectly painted white nails.
"Our nails look so pretty don't they?" Mindy asked her friends as she gazed proudly at her white nails.
"They totally do Mindy." Jasmine replied gazing proudly at them.
"Oh yeah, totally perfect." Alexis giggled.
"Hey bestie, I know how important your duel with Jaden is gonna be. Now that you have a beautiful new look I want to offer you one of my very own special cards to help you quickly destroy that Slifer loser and save the world from falling into darkness." Jasmine offered.
"I'd be honored to use your cards." Alexis giggled.
Jasmine reached into her deck and pulled out 'White Celestial Sword' and 'Lightsworn Angel Eatos'.
Jasmine held these cards out to Alexis. "Eatos!" Alexis squealed happily.
The spirit form of Lightsworn Angel Eatos appeared before her very eyes. "I would be honored to serve you, White Alexis the beautiful White Ice Queen in your battle against the darkness." Eatos said with an angelic voice.
"It's an honor to meet you, you beautiful angel.." Alexis said, awestruck.
Eatos giggled at her remark. "I protected both you and Jasmine from the darkness of Mindy. now that your bestie has seen the light I will protect all three of you from the darkness of Jaden. If you will accept me in your deck I shall not let you down." She sweetly smiled.
"It's my honor to have you fight with me." Alexis smiled brightly.
"I wanna offer you a card as well if you'll accept it?" Mindy said shyly holding out her monster card 'Athena'.
"I'd be honored to Min." Alexis beamed. Just then a beautiful goddess with long flowing silver hair and pale skin appeared before the girls. She was dressed in a regal white dress. She was wielding a round white and gold shield in one hand and a spear in the other. "I am Athena the goddess of heroism and war. It is my deep honor to serve the White Ice Queen in this upcoming battle." Athena said bowing in respect to White Alexis.
"It's an honor to meet you Athena." Alexis smiled in awe.
"Athena your really here standing before us I can't believe it!" Mindy exclaimed.
Athena turned to face Mindy. "Believe it my mistress. It is my destiny to serve and protect you against the evils of the darkness." Athena stated warmly.
"I'm like so glad to have you as my protector Athena." Mindy said with a smile.
"I promise I won't let you enter the graveyard, my lady." Alexis replied respectfully, smiling.
"I am glad to hear this, my Queen." Athena replied.
As the day continued each hour drew them closer and closer to that fateful moment. The moment when one of the strongest forces of darkness would meet one of brightest forces of light in battle. The stroke of midnight would signal the time had come for White Alexis and Jaden to meet in what was sure to be the most epic duel in academy history. The 12th hour was nearly upon us, only a mere 10 minutes stood between now and midnight.
To be continued...
