A/N: Hi everyone! Took me awhile to update, but i'm finally here and updating! There will probably be another day this week that I won't be updating. Goin' back to Cleveland to see my grandma. Yeeeah... anyways, here's the next chapter everybody!!

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Gi Oh GX. If I did, Andrea and Alex would have been in it and had a major role.

Andrea's POV

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

After about 40 good minutes of continuous running, I managed to finally get back to the dorms. I leaned against a nearby tree for support, and tried to regain my breath. My uniform was dirty from all the running, and my normally straight dark blue hair was a frizzy mess. I wish I was back in my own bed, safe, comfy... everything that made me feel pleasant. Right now, I feel like I just ran an entire lap around the island without breaks.

"Andrea?!" somebody called out my name. I looked up weakly, only to find Lily, one of my kind friends, starring at me in shock. I feel awful that I made poor Lily worry about me like this..

"H-hi Lily..." I greeted her weakly.

"Oh my goodness! What happend to you?!" Lily questioned in shock.

"I'm so sorry I worried you Lily..." I apologized, not bothering to answer her question.

"Don't worry about that, silly! We must get Miss Fontaine immediatly!" she decided. Though part of me urged to reach out to Lily and stop her, I decided against it and merely sat down with my back to the tree, closing my eyes and falling into a world of complete bliss.

Andrea's Dream

- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I stood alone in a world of pure white, cherry blossom petals flowing all around.

"H-hello?! Is anybody here?!" I yelled as loud as I could. A small hand touched my left shoulder, causing me to turn around.

"Hello there friend, how are you?" the person asked. She was so pretty... with hair of light pink and a white dress with tiny specs of glitter decorating the entire outfit.

"Excuse me... um... but... are you real?" I asked.

"Of course I am." she replied, smiling.

"But... isn't this a dream..?" I asked.

"Yes. It is. But I exsist within a true friend of yours." the girl replied. Realization struck me hard at that moment...

"Lily... is that you...?" I questioned.

"You could say that. Lily and I are one person, though we look nothing alike."

"I see... so... what is your name?" I asked.

"Call me Samantha."

"Okay Samantha... but um... why are you here in my dream?" I asked her.

" To warn you, of course."

"Huh? Warn me?"

"Yep. That boy you agreed to become Tag Partners with... he'll end up bringing you to trouble you never wanted." Samantha warned me.


"Alex would never---" I was stopped halfway through my sentence.

"Yes. He would. Even if he didn't mean to... or maybe even if he did. It'd be best that you back down."

"N-no way... I won't believe you Sam... I know Alex will do anything to protect his friends.."

" Wow Andrea.. your being awfully defensive about this Alex boy.."

"I-I am..?"

"Yeah. If I didn't know better, i'd say you like him." I opened my mouth to say something, but no words came out. I couldn't find the right thing to say... but inside my mind I knew Sam was wrong... right..?

"It's best I'd get going Andrea... Remember, back down before it's too late... I'll see you soon." Those were Sam's last words before walking past me and towards an empty whiteness in the distance.

"Andrea, please wake up!"

"Goodness, she must be extremely tired!"

My eyes shot open in a single heartbeat. No longer was my back to a hard tree, but to a soft matress. And no longer was I sitting on the ground outside, but instead, I was laying on a bed. Soft, comfy... just like I imagined it to be.

"Oh thank goodness! Your alright!" A familiar voice called out in happiness. Kneeling next to me on the side of the bed was Lily, with her purple hair tied into two pigtails and a look of relief apon her face. Within her, I saw Sam for just a split second. I must be seeing things... I have to be...

"Lily..." I managed to say her name.

"Hey, Andrea! Don't forget me!" I turned my head to the other side of my bed and saw yet another one of my friends. Rie, with her short orange hair and a wide grin apon her face.

"Oh, I wouldn't even think of forgetting you, Rie." I said, chuckling a bit.

"HEY! LEMME IN! ANDREA IS MY FRIEND AND I NEED TO SEE HER!"

"No! I told you before, no male students were aloud in the girl's dorms!"

There was a commotion outside of my door. Constant bickering went back and forth, causing Rie to stand up and stomp over to the door.

"LISTEN, MY FRIEND ISN'T FEELING WELL AND YOUR---" she stopped yelling. I sat up a little bit, only to see Alex outside of my door, with Dean holding onto the back of his jacket trying to stop him from entering the room.

"Alex! I-it's you!" I shouted with joy. I haven't been so happy to see him in all of my life as much as I have now.

"Dean, please let him stay... just for a little while... Alex is my friend, and I don't mind if he wants to come and visit me one bit..." I begged. At the request, Dean released Alex from the hold and looked at me.

"But... the rules clearly state that---"

"I know... male students that are caught trespassing in the girl's dorms will be expelled from the Academy immediatly... But please... this is different. Alex is my friend. Now if he was a peeping tom, that would be different... but he isn't anything like that. Please. Let him through just this once!" I begged.

"...Alright... but if he bothers you, scream. Understood?" Dean asked.

"Understood." I replied.

"Good. Well then, carry on with your buisness." he said, walking away. As soon as Alex entered the room, I could tell this meant a big thank you of some-sort.

"Wow Andrea... that was... awesome! You actually let me get away with coming in here! Thank you!" Alex shouted with joy, dashing over to the bed and giving me a quick hug. I blushed a deep shade of red at the moment, but I couldn't help but feel so warm on the inside. Instantly, I looked the opposite direction.

"Y-your welcome..." I replied, trying to hide my nervousness.

"So, you ok?" Alex asked.

"Yes... I've rested quite a bit and I feel much better."

"Great!"

"Yes..."

There was an awkward silence... until Rie broke it.

"Man, you two are so oblivious!" she shouted.

"Huh?"

"Nothing, nothing. C'mon Lil', let's get going. See ya later Andrea!" Rie said, heading towards the door alongside Lily. Once the two were gone, it was only me and Alex... alone...

"...Andrea." Alex said my name once.

"Yes?"

"...Are you sure you want to be partners with me? I mean, some of the Obelisks will look down apon you for being friends with a Slifer like me, let alone being partners." Alex asked, looking down at the ground in sadness

"I-I don't care what they think... your a friend of mine, no matter what the color of your jacket may be... They're all wrong about you, Alex. Your a great duelist and a great friend.." I replied, causing him to look up.

"Andrea...I..."

"W-what?"

"...Nothing... I'll tell you later..." Alex stopped, turning his head away from me and walking towards the door.

"Oh... okay... Bye..."

"See you later, Andrea." Alex said one last time before exiting my room. I wonder what he wanted to tell me... but I won't know until later...
