Chapter VII: My Big Fat…HUH? Part I

Welcome back, folks to what is shaping up to be one very bizarre movie night. So far, we've seen that the boys of Duel Academy can indeed cry…including Chazz! And yes, Annie Hanson, Syrus Truesdale's new girlfriend, passed out after an embarrassing moment. So what is next for the GX kids in this journey through a romantic tragedy and the next movie, a romantic comedy? Stay tuned!

Disclaimer: We don't own the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise. And the only thing of My Big Fat Greek Wedding that I own is a DVD…oh, wait…my parents own it. Never mind.

Authors' note, about six years later: Again, changes to reflect the timeline and continuity.

"I don't hate you, Annie," stated Syrus. He was just a few inches behind her, and said it before he realized that he might surprise her.

"Oh my gosh!" she yelped and passed out. The surprise coupled with her embarrassment led to her keeling over.

"Oh no! I killed her!" Syrus exclaimed, overreacting as usual.

Bastion and Violet came running. "Syrus? What in the name of Einstein—?" Bastion exclaimed, kneeling down at the large Obelisk girl's side.

"Syrus, I love you like a brother, but if you killed Annie, let's just say it won't be pretty," stated Violet worriedly.

Bastion checked her pulse, relieved that it was steady. "I think she fainted again. Syrus, run and get Miss Fontaine, won't you?" he said calmly.

"O-Okay!" replied Syrus, running off.

"Violet, how many times has it been this year?" the handsome genius asked his new girlfriend.

"Uh, uh, uh... I think this is the sixth time," replied Violet, blinking. "I think the last time she fainted was after she tripped and everyone saw her underwear." That had been embarrassing; luckily, Violet had been there so no one laughed for fear of becoming victims of pranks or the potato gun.

Bastion nodded, checking Annie's pulse again. "That would explain something. Where the devil is Syrus?"

"I'm... back, guys!" called Syrus between breaths. He stopped beside them, Miss Fontaine next to him and also breathing heavily.

"Sorry, I was on my lunch break. What seems to be the problem?" she asked, kneeling quickly beside the girl.

"Annie had an embarrassing moment and fainted, Miss Fontaine. She seems to be in quite a dead faint," Bastion explained, then noticing Syrus paling, added, "That doesn't mean she's dead, Syrus."

Just then, the other people in their circle of friends exited the lecture hall. "What's holdin' up the movie?" Hassleberry asked and exclaimed, "Sam Hill! What happened to Private Annie?"

"Oh, my. Let's see now," muttered Miss Fontaine. She took Bastion's place beside Annie, checking her vitals.

"I... kind of surprised Annie and made her faint," explained Syrus guiltily.

"Syrus, don't you dare go blaming yourself," stated Violet, frowning.

"Sí, it was not your fault," added Rosa comfortingly.

At this moment, Annie came around. She was extremely pale, but managed to say, "Oh, crap. I did it again."

"Annie! You're alive!" yelled Syrus happily. He kneeled beside her, taking her hand in his own. "Sorry I made you faint," he mumbled.

"Not really your fault," she said, feeling really bad she'd scared him.

"You should be all right. Just no one surprise her or anything. If anything else happens, come get me right away," Miss Fontaine instructed. After helping Annie to her feet with Syrus's assistance, the pretty nurse headed back to the infirmary.

"Do you still want to watch the movie? We don't have to if you don't feel up for it," stated Syrus worriedly.

"Yeah, I want to." Annie leaned on Sy's shoulder as they headed back. "I'm sorry."

"Would you people stop saying sorry? Just hush and enjoy the movie! People who always think they're guilty annoy me," Violet muttered, suddenly peeved. Syrus blushed lightly and helped Annie back to their seats.

Bastion introduced the movie. "All right everyone. This next film is based upon the real-life experience of Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita. From what Annie has told us, this is quite a funny film and has a great deal of universal humor. Dr. Crowler, could you…?"

"Yes, yes, I'm going," replied Crowler. He started the movie and everyone got to their seats.

Within the first twenty minutes, everyone was laughing as the heroine showed her family history of going to Greek school, having musaka in her lunch and having it called "moose caca," and then a father who could trace every word in the world to something in Greek. "Sushi," Jaden whispered to Alexis. "I wonder if he could explain that one."

Violet reached over and poked him in the back of the head. "How about 'shush-ee?' I can't hear the movie!" she whispered smartly. Heck, she could hear just fine; she just wanted to use that line. Alexis snickered lightly at their antics.

"Sorry!" Jaden whispered back, sarcastically.

Violet managed to stick out her tongue at him before she was pulled into her seat by Bastion. "I'm glad no one's crying like in the last one," whispered Syrus.

"If we cry, it'll be because we're laughing so hard," Annie whispered. Sure enough, everyone laughed when the heroine described what perfect Greek daughters should do.

"'Marry Greek men?' That means they can't marry the Chazz," Chazz whispered, grinning.

"Or me," Atticus added.

"I wonder what my parents will say when I tell them I finally found another boyfriend," muttered Violet aloud.

"I'm glad my parents don't restrict who I can date," whispered Syrus, smiling at Annie.

Annie sighed. "Wouldn't mind the 'having children' part," she whispered, then realized what Sy had just said. "Oh, gosh." She went pale, but managed to stay upright, breathing deeply.

"Huh? Annie, are you okay?" asked Syrus worriedly.

She nodded. "Timing was off. I just meant...I want to have kids someday."

"Oh...as long as you're all right," whispered Syrus, relieved.

Violet giggled quietly to herself, trying to imagine her children having British accents. "That'd be adorable!" she squealed quietly.

"What would be?" Bastion asked softly.

Violet jumped slightly and blushed, realizing she'd squealed out loud. "Uh, erm, nothing...just thinking," she stammered, her blush deepening.

Bastion gazed at her thoughtfully. "Were you...entertaining thoughts about us?"

"Uh...maybe," muttered Violet, stretching out the "a" in maybe. Then she smirked, looking at him sidelong. "Why? Were you 'entertaining thoughts' about us?" she retorted, throwing the question right back at him.

"Well," Bastion admitted softly, "it's not like guys don't think about meeting that special someone and settling down, you know."

"Oh? And would that special someone be me?" asked Violet. Her face was inches away from his own, her tone holding a teasing curiosity.

"You might be," Bastion admitted, blushing.

Score! She'd gotten the genius to blush, and he looked adorable! "Hee hee, I thought so. I'll admit, the thought of my children having a British accent was tempting," whispered Violet, smiling broadly.

Meanwhile, Jaden whispered to Alexis, "Man, and I thought my family was crazy..."

"Your family probably is crazy, Jaden. Most are," replied Alexis, smiling.

Jaden grinned. "My dad's side is Japanese and Mom's side is Irish and I don't know what else."

"Wow. I didn't know you were part Irish, Jaden," replied Alexis, surprised.

"That's where I get this," he answered, tapping the red shock at the top of his head. "Mom's side throws some wild parties."

"I always wondered about that," muttered Alexis. She grinned and reached up to run her fingers through the spot, ruffling his hair slightly.

"I kinda look like my mom, too," he admitted, "but I can eat anything I want like Dad."

"The guys told me that—" began Alexis. However, a loud crash interrupted her, and she turned to see Violet on the ground. Apparently, she'd found something about the current scene absolutely hilarious, and laughed herself off of her seat.

"Ow," muttered Violet into the floor.

And that's the end of "My Big Fat…HUH? Part I." Read, review and stay tuned for part II!
