Chapter 9 Truth or Dare?

~Atticus's POV~

I had planned a party for Friday night. There was one main reason for it but the other reason was so we could kick off the first week of the show with a bang. I went to my room, which was next door to Zane's. That wasn't convenient because I could say "EUREKA" or something like that or Zane'll notice, like what happened the other day.

Flashback

I had just found out a new plan for the shows coming up.

"FINALLY, I GOT IT!" I shouted.

Someone knocked on my door. I opened it. Zane was there, with a pretty unhappy scowl.

"Atticus! Why are you shouting?" he asked.

"Uhhh……are you next door?" I said, almost mumbling.

"What was that, Atticus?" he said, pretty unhappily. I mean, it's not everyday you see Zane in pyjamas.

"Are you next door?" I asked, with a worried tone.

"Yes, I am, if you need to know."

"I'm soo sorry, Zane. It'll never happen again." I muttered.

"It better not…is that a camera?" He asked pointing at the device in my hand.

"Umm…." Is all I said before shutting the door really quickly. It closed with a soft click, not a loud bang.

Going back to the plan of the party, I was getting the food and things ready. I was planning to host a "Truth or Dare" session. It was also a sleepover. That was why I needed to request to have the gym for the night. I was surprised that Sheppard actually agreed. It could've been because I mentioned…..something important was going to happen but…I highly doubt that.

~Jaden's POV~

I went back to my dorm and got my sleeping bag, which was hidden under a lot of stuff. I then got my PDA out and checked the time. It was about 3pm. My lord! We spent 5 hours causing pain to Harrington. I went out to go to Atticus's room. I was really bored so I went there to ask something. I went inside the dorm and knocked on his door. He answered it.

"Atticus, may I ask you a question?"

"Sure, bud"

"How many peeps are invited in this?"

"Hmm…I can't remember." He said, with a fake looking frown on his face.

"Well, that was kinda helpful….I guess."

"Oh, Jaden, I've invited the new kid there"

"New kid?"

"Yeah, I can't remember her name…."

"Now I remember, her name is Stephanie. She's in the Ra Yellow dorm."

"Right. Catch ya later, Atticus."

"See ya, Jaden"

The rest of the day few by fast. I was sitting at the cliff, talking to Winged Kuriboh. According to him, Yubel was doing something…..important for the Duel Spirit Festival. I left the cliff when it was about 10pm and went back to my room. I changed and went to sleep.

I awoke to a noise. It sounded like a chopper. I went outside and looked to my left. I saw a chopper. It wasn't Sheppard's, but Pegasus's. I wondered what Pegasus chopper would be does here. I looked at the docks. I saw a boat. It looked familiar. I looked at the person who came out of it. Aster Phoenix. I went back inside and got my PDA out of my jacket. It said.

9:30am

There was also a message.

For: All people who got this message on their PDA's

For: LLSP Kick Off First Week Party.

Cheers,

Atticus.

I looked at my PDA for a while. I looked at the "other things" part. I didn't know what this party also had but I took my deck and my duel disk, just in case. I went to the library, for the third time this week. I know, me and the library, they don't exactly mix. Well, they do, from a point of view, but don't. I got a different book and started to read it. I lasted longer than I thought, but I still fell asleep. When I woke up, I went back to the dorm and had lunch. I went to the cliff, taking my sleeping bag with me since I was expecting something to happen. I was sitting there, doing nothing. I felt like talking to someone. The moment I thought that, a girl showed up.

"Hello, you're Jaden Yuki, aren't you?" the girl asked.

"Yup." I said, nodding.

"I thought you would be here."

"Huh?" I said, in shock.

"Atticus wants you in the gym."

"Right. Who are you, by the way?"

"I'm Stephanie, Stephanie Phillips." She said, standing there, putting her hands on her hips.

"You sound like James Bond" I said, unable to control my laughter.

"Well, you better get to the gym." She said, with a smile on her face.

I left, running to the gym. When I got there, the doors were shut. Normally, they would be opened. I opened the doors. I got the shock of my life. I looked at the banner. Jaden's Rehabilitation Party. Wait. Who would have a random poster like that? Atticus, probably. There was a whole crowd of people there. About fourteen people, to be exact.

"Atticus! What's with the banner?" I asked, looking at the crowd.

"You like? I had the idea." He said, with a mischievous smile on his face.

"Did you bring a sleeping bag?" he asked.

"Uhhh…Yeah. I know you, so I was prepared. P.R.E.P.A.R.E.D!" I said, with some dignity in my voice.

"You know, you sounded like Lexi there." He said.

"WHAT!" I shouted.

"You do." He said before leaving.

I was petrified. When I regained conscience I looked around. I saw Aster, Zane, Jim, Jesse, Axel, Mindy, Jasmine, Alexis, Chazz, Syrus, Hassleberry, Blair (against my will, I didn't shout at Atticus for inviting her), Stephanie and Chumley.

"Hey, Chumster" I said, using his nickname.

"Hey, Jaden. I've got something for you." He said, with a smile on his face as he gave me the card.

I stood there, staring at the card. I thought, at that moment, I looked like a fish out of water. The card was one of a kind, by the looks of it. It had an Elemental Hero and a Neo Spacian on the right and left respectively. There were two arrows, on the top and one on the bottom. They went opposite directions.

"Translating Language?" I said.

"Yeah, that's the name of the card. It's a spell card that allows you to change an Elemental Hero for a Neo Spacian, as long as they are the same affinity. The card can come from anywhere in your deck, hand or graveyard. Oh, there's a totally luscious affect if you choose to use it. If the original card on the field is sent to the graveyard, the attack points of the monster are added to the swapped monster. You could always just keep the card and return it to your hand, however." He said, giving me a smile.

"Thanks Chumster, you know, for the card."

"No problems, I've been giving cards that I've made personally to my friends.

"Okay, Chumster" I said, before I walked into a different direction.

"Hey! Everyone, let's play the star game in this party, truth or dare!" Atticus shouted.

"…Right" I said when one of those anime sweat drops appeared behind my head.

Some people cheered, like Mindy and Jasmine. Others, like Aster and Alexis, groaned. Some people didn't respond, like Syrus and Hassleberry either because they didn't want to or they were too busy to notice Atticus's really loud voice, which is really unlikely.

"Okay, peeps, sit in a circle in the middle of the field." Atticus instructed everyone to do.

"Now, who wants to start first?"

"I think Jaden should 'cause it's his party" Jesse said. I felt flattered.

"Ok, Jaden, you got one?"

"Yep, Chazz, truth or dare?"
