Chapter 4

The Party

Jaden's Announcement

Everyone who was walking around Duel Academy saw posters up advertising a party for Jaden, not for the duel, but for helping Alexis get her brother back. Anyone who would want to come to the party can. The party is at 6:00 p.m. tonight.

Meanwhile Jaden is sitting out on the bluff and Alexis is back at the Obelisk Blue Dorm getting things ready for the party. While he is sitting out on the bluff he is thinking of just how fun his life is going to be now. Then he hears someone calling his name and it is Zane. "Hey Zane, what's up?" Jaden asks as he sees Zane.

"I just want to ask you a question," Zane answers.

"I will do my best to answer it," Jaden replies.

"How did you get that new deck?" Zane asks.

"Simple, do you remember 'Duel Monster Spirit' day?" Jaden asks.

"Yeah, and I heard that you dueled against the Dark Magician Girl." Zane replies.

"That is true, and it was actually the spirit of the Dark Magician Girl. Plus my duel was a test to see if I could handle the cards that are in my deck. Since I beat her I can handle it and she put the deck in my holder that night." Jaden explains.

"So you have no clue just how powerful that deck is?" Zane asks

"Correct." Jaden replies.

Later on that day at the party Jaden enters it and Alexis walks up to him and says, "Want to dance?"

"Sure." Jaden replies.

They walk out onto the dance floor and start dancing. Everyone is surprised by this, not that Jaden and Alexis are together, but by how well they are dancing.

Alexis's friends Mindy and Jasmine are also watching. "Wow they are good." Mindy says.

"Something else besides a thank you to Jaden might happen tonight." Jasmine said with a smile.

When Jaden and Alexis finish up their dance everyone claps. They bow and then walk over to a table and sit down. "Jay you were amazing! Where did you learn to dance like that?" Alexis asks.

"I took a couple of dance classes, but I haven't told anyone about it because I was afraid of what they might think. Plus you weren't half bad either!" Jaden answers

"Same story as you." Alexis replies.

"No way." Jaden said with a look of shock on his face.

"Yep." Alexis said with a smile.

Later on that night after about the third dance, Atticus quiets everyone down and says, "I just want to say that all of you being here tonight means a lot to me. I was gone for a long time but it's good to be back. I have one person to thank for that fact, our very own Jaden Yuki and he's the one who rescued me from the shadow riders."

The room explodes with clapping and cheering.

"Jay, should we tell everyone the good news?" Alexis said very quietly

"Good idea, Lexi." Jaden quietly replies.

Then Atticus quiets everyone down and says, "Come up here Jaden and say something."

"I don't know what to say other than I'm glad that some good came from those Shadow Duels. I'm happy I was able to reunite Atticus with his sister Alexis." Jaden said after he got up on the stage.

Everyone claps and then Jaden takes a deep breath and motions for Alexis to join him up on stage. Jasmine sees this and says, "Told you."

"I know this is Atticus's party, but I have one more thing to say." Jaden said after Alexis stands next to him.

He turns to Alexis, gets down on one knee and pulls something out of his pocket. "Alexis Rhodes, after we graduate will you marry me?" Jaden asks.

He opens the box and Alexis sees a shiny diamond ring.

"Yes I will Jaden Yuki!" Alexis said with one of the biggest smiles anyone has ever seen.

Jaden got up and they kiss causing the room to erupt into loud cheers and wild applause. After they finish kissing, Jaden puts the ring on Alexis's finger. They walk out to the center of the dance floor and a slow song comes on and they start to dance.

After the dance, the party dies down and Jaden and Alexis walk over to the bluff and sit down. Alexis puts her head on Jaden's shoulder and says, "Jay, where did you get this ring from it is amazing!"

"I got lot of money dueling in tournaments, so I decided to buy that ring because I knew someday I would meet a girl that I would want to spend the rest of my life with." Jaden explains.

"Bet it cost you a lot of money." Alexis replies.

"It looks amazing on you so I think it was worth every penny." Jaden said.

"I love you Jaden." Alexis said with a smile.

"I love you too, Alexis." Jaden said

"Let's spend the night together." Alexis said which completely shocks Jaden.

"Not in the dorm because we could get in trouble." Jaden replies

"I know, I have it covered, just follow me." Alexis explains.

She gets up and so does Jaden. Alexis grabs his hand and she leads him down to the lighthouse. "Are you sure this place is okay?" Jaden asks.

"Trust me; no one checks this place out anymore because the lighthouse is on automatic now." Alexis explains.

"Plus the inside has furniture." Alexis said as she opens the door.

Jaden looks inside and sees all kinds of nice furniture and says, "Wow Alexis good job."

He kisses her on the cheek and they go inside. Then they get under the cover of bed. Both of them were tired but they fight sleepiness for a few more seconds as they leaned in for a kiss. They fell asleep still lip-locked, dreaming sweet dreams.
