However I must warn you. I have put more cursing than usual. Why…I don't really know.

The Next Day

Sakura, Kiralai, Bianca, Mei, Rose, Bastion, Syrus, Jaden, and Alexis were sitting outside the Slyfer dorms. Today was Sunday, so everyone wanted to see what they should do for their day off.

"What happened to Chumley and Venus?" Rose asked Mei, Bianca, Jaden, and Syrus.

"Chumley went to the cafeteria to get breakfast." Jaden told her.

"And Venus went to the beach to get a tan. She, and I quote, 'wants to look nice for when she goes hottie hunting', unquote." Bianca added.

"Who's there to go to hunt for hottie hunting?" Rose huffed.

"His brother." Sakura said, pointing at Syrus. "If I wasn't about 4 years older than him, I'd totally join her, but I'm not. Besides, I'm not going to join the gaggle of girls in his fan clubs."

"More like a herd." Syrus and Alexis murmured.

"Why don't we just go to the beach? It's beautiful outside and I need to practice my sparring skills anyway." Mei suggested.

"That's a good idea." Jaden piped up. "All in favor run to their dorms and get their swimsuits." By the end of his statement, all you should see were dust clouds from everyone running to their rooms. He looked around and saw no one was there.

"I better go too!" Jaden said to himself and ran into his room.

At the Beach

The Harpies were the last ones at the beach. There were a lot of umbrellas and blankets scattered around the area of the beach.

"Wow, a lot of people today." Mei said. She wore a navy blue one-piece that had a white dolphin on the front. Her hair was pulled into a low ponytail.

"Guys, I'm gonna go review Keely about our routine for the show. I'll be by the water if you need me." Sakura said and walked away, Kiralai at her heels. The half-hanyou wore a red tube top that ended a few inches about her belly button with red bikini bottoms. Her hair was left down.

"I'm gonna go spar. Anyone care to join me?" Bianca asked no one in particular. She wore a purple tankini with matching short shorts. Her white hair was put into a high ponytail, still giving her hair little flips on the ends.

"I'll will." Mei said and walked off with the bat to an empty area of the beach.

"I'll just go see what the others are doing." Rose said. She wore a white t-shirt and jean short shorts. Her hair was up, so that no one would recognize her except for her friends. She also sported her Harpie duffel bag, with the side with the Harpie Sign hidden.

She walked down the beach for a few minutes and saw that the others were at the far side of the beach, away from the several fan clubs dedicated to the duelists. Joining Alexis, Jaden, and Syrus were Zane and a person that looked like Alexis as a guy with brown hair.

"Hey guys." Rose said, walking up to them.

"Hey Rose, what's up?" Jaden asked. He wore red swim trunks with a black line running down both legs. He sat on a really large blanket that Alexis and Syrus were also on.

"Nothing much. Nice to see you again, Zane." Rose greeted.

"Like wise, Rose." Zane said lying on a towel. He wore deep blue swim trunks.

"Who's this really cute girl?" the unnamed brown-haired teenager asked, looking at her. He held a surfboard and wore a full-body surf outfit. "Wait. Is this that celebrity everyone's talking about that's on the island?"

"Yes. I'm Rose Taylor. And you are?" Rose said, glaring at him for reminding her of her status.

"I'm Atticus, Alexis's older brother." He said, winking at her, making her blush.

"I thought you liked Bastion, Rose." Syrus asked. He wore black swim trunks.

"Syrus, come over here please." Rose asked, with a glare in her eyes. Syrus walked over to her and looked at her face.

"What are you going to do with me?" Syrus asked, trembling.

"Nothing…" she pulled him into a hug, making him melt into her embrace. A few seconds past and all of a sudden, Syrus was put in a choke hold, receiving a very painful noogie Rose. "Except for this!"

"OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW!!! That's hurts, Rose!" Syrus exclaimed.

"Rose, denial makes it worse." Alexis said. She wore a blue cut-out one piece.

"I'M NOT IN FRIKEN DENIAL!!!!!!!!" Rose screamed, letting go of Syrus. "Oh yeah. Jaden, did you take Alexis out like you told me that you would??"

"What?!?!?!?" Jaden exclaimed, both him and Alexis blushing.

"You asked Alexis out? When did this happen?" Syrus asked.

"After Rose and Bastion dueled each other, I went to the library to look up something and Rose was there. I told Rose about the Herrington fiasco. She gave me advice and I asked Alexis out after that."

"But you've pretty much have done nothing. So I'm going to have to give you both another little nudge." Rose mumbled. "Since we were talking about Bastion earlier, where is he anyway?"

"He's probably reading or something smart." Jaden said.

"Sorry I'm late. I had to check something." said a voice. Everyone turned around and saw Bastion running towards them. He wore white swim trunks and to many girls enjoyment, no shirt showing off a chiseled upper body.

(A/N: I am such a fangirl! Don't believe me that he has a hot bod? Watch episode 96… I suggest you watch the dub unless you want your eyes scarred for life.)

"Hey Bastion." Jaden greeted his friend.

"Hey guys." Bastion turned to Rose. "Aren't you hot in that?"

"I'd rather stay in a t-shirt and shorts than be chased by guys." Rose said, crossing her arms. "Besides, Zane and Atticus's fan clubs might hurt me for being a promiscuous slut in front of their 'boyfriends'."

"Who said you'd be chased by guys?" Alexis said.

"Who said you were a promiscuous slut?" Atticus and Zane asked.

"Oh look, geeks with numerous nosebleeds." Rose pointed over her shoulder without turning around. They saw that many guys were staring at Rose's backside and streaks of red liquid were streaming down their faces.

All of a sudden, Sasha came bounding out of the forest, causing panic to up rise when she passed by a person.

"I-i-is that a m-m-mountain lion?" Syrus said trembling, hiding behind Zane.

"Rose, what is Sasha doing here?" Bastion yelled at her.

"She must have followed me here." Rose said, picking up the cub. Sasha snuggled further into her chest. "Can you guys make some room?"

"Oh sure." Alexis bumped into Jaden, their shoulders touching. Both of their cheeks were a dark scarlet.

"My little sister's growing up." Atticus said, dramatically wiping a pretend tear from his face.

"Shut up, Atticus." Alexis spat, her face still red.

Rose sat down, waking up Sasha in the process. The cat looked at her mistress with a glare and swiped her claws at her shirt, making four large cuts.

"Sasha!" Bastion looked at the cat with a stern face.

"It's okay. As much as it pains me to say it, I'll just take off my shirt. And my shorts while I'm at it." Rose stood up and threw her shirt, shorts, and bag off into a small pile on the corner of the towel. She wore a yellow string bikini that showed off her long legs and flat stomach.

"Sasha, as repayment for your actions, you have to stay by my side the whole day, capice?" Rose told Sasha. She meowed in response. A few moments later, Marco and Nick came running towards them.

"Hey Rose, Bastion. Long time no talk…whoa that's a big cat!" Marco exclaimed, jumping back at the sight of Sasha.

"Hey Marco, Nick." Rose greeted them. "This is Sasha. Um…Can you please leave us along for the day? I promise I will talk to you guys tomorrow."

"Oh. Alright. See you later." Marco walked away, his shoulders slumped.

"It's okay, buddy. She's still single, so you have a chance." Nick said, patting him on the back.

He'd have a chance if I didn't use my chance on someone else. Rose thought

"Hey guys, who wants to play volleyball?" Alexis asked, getting up.

"I'm in." Jaden got up.

"Me too." Syrus added.

"Why not?" Zane and Atticus followed the others.

"Sure." Bastion shrugged.

"I'll stay behind." Rose said.

"What?" everyone asked.

"Rose, why not?" Bastion asked.

"Because um… I don't know how to play!" Rose lied.

"I'll teach you!" Atticus said, slinging his arm around her shoulders. Her cheeks turned slightly red.

"I'm grateful for the offer, Atticus. But who's going to control Sasha?" Rose looked up at him with a sincere face.

"I'll stay with her." Bastion said.

"Alright. Sasha is also your responsibility." Alexis said. The boys agreed and walked away with Alexis.

"Meet us back here in an hour." Rose called after them. She looked around, grabbed her duffel bag, and pulled out a notebook with Harpie sign stickers and taped pics of some duel monsters. She glanced at Bastion, who was reading a book while petting Sasha. She opened the book and started writing.

A few minutes of compete silence passed. All you could here were distant music, the waves, and some seagulls. Bastion glanced over at Rose and saw her scribbling in her notebook. Her scooted over a little closer to her to try to see what she was doing. Little by little, he was able to see over her shoulder. The good thing was that Rose didn't notice at all.

"Hey Bastion, when are the…" she looked up and saw Bastion's face about an inch away from hers. Both of their faces turned slightly pink. Sasha looked up at her master and mistress, both just staring into each others eyes.

This is taking way too long. Sasha walked over to Bastion and pushed her forepaws into his back, quickly tilting him into Rose. Their lips crashed together. Both of their cheeks turned into a deeper shade of pink.

They slowly closed their eyes and responded to the kiss. Bastion placed his hand on the small of her back as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

In the middle of their lip-lock, the gang was a few feet away from the group of towels.

"Hey isn't that Rose and Bastion?" Syrus asked.

"Yeah. What are they doing?" Alexis said.

Jaden walked closer to the Ra's. A few moments later, the Slyfer ran back, his arms flailing everywhere "Omigod, MY EYES!"

"Jaden, what happened?" Alexis asked the panicked boy.

"They were…and then…they…they" Jaden fainted on the spot.

"I don't think he's ever seen anyone kiss." Atticus proclaimed.

"It's not that." Alexis said. "Look."

Rose was lying on the towel, Bastion on top of her, supporting himself by his hands. Her hands were still wrapped around his neck. They were kissing each other passionately, not wanting to let go of the other.

Sakura, Kiralai, Venus, Mei, Bianca, Mai, and Joey walked up behind the group. Mai wore a purple cut-out one-piece with a lavender wrap-around skirt. Joey wore green swim trunks.

"What's going on…holy shit!" Bianca exclaimed.

Her sudden outburst shocked the Ra's and they separated. They looked at each other, than at the group, then back to each other. Both of their faces were beet red.

"Rose Angelique Taylor and Bastion Yamato Misawa, what the hell are you doing?!?!?!?" Joey yelled at them.

"But he/she was…and they…and then…" Rose and Bastion rambled their faces still red. "Waitaminute…SASHA!!!"

"Mew?" Sasha stared at them with innocent eyes.

"What did Sasha do?" Sakura asked, he arms folded.

"She pushed Bastion into me." Rose said.

"You've been a very bad girl, Sasha." Venus scolded, bopping the cub on the nose. Sasha growled at Rose and scratched at her leg, causing it to bleed.

"Ah!" Rose's face scrunched in pain. She sat down to hold her injured leg. "Why am I the one to get hurt?"

"Some one go get Ms. Fontaine!" Zane yelled to one of the bystanders.

"We don't have enough time. By the time she gets here, the cut might get infected." Mei said, inspecting it. She opened the pouch of water on her waist and bended some water out of it. She wrapped the water around her hand and it started to glow. The water/fire bender placed her hand on Rose's cut, making the wound also glow. A few seconds passed and the cut was healed. All that was left was a long scar on her right leg.

"Arigato Mei." Rose said, hugging her friend.

"No problem." Mei hugged back.

Rose turned to Sasha, who was hiding behind Kiralai. "Sasha, viene aquí." She looked up at Rose and reluctantly walked to her. Rose sat on the sand and scooped up the cub.

"I'm not mad at you Sasha. I understand that you would take your anger out on me for blaming you." Rose stroked Sasha's fur.

"Thank you for the little push, though." She whispered into the cat's ear. Sasha licked her mistress's face, making Rose laugh.

"Why are all these people here?" Rose asked, looking at Jaden, Alexis, Syrus, Zane, Atticus, Bastion, Sakura, Keely, Bianca, Mei, Venus, Mai, and Joey.

"Um…for volleyball?" Sakura held up a volleyball to back her up.

"I'm in." Rose got up.

"I thought you didn't know how to play." Atticus said.

"Aww, isn't that sweet? She didn't want to show off in front of cute guys." Venus teased her younger relative.

"That's it! You're going down, you blonde bimbo!" Rose shouted, than suddenly turned to Alexis and Mei, "No offense to blondes."

"None taken." They assured her.

"As I was saying…get your stupid ass over here!" Rose started chasing Venus all over the beach.

"Someone please help me!" Venus played the "Damsel in Distress" card. Suddenly, a whole wall of boys stood in front of her.

Two can play this game. Rose thought. She put on her most sad face and started crying, "Boys, how could you? You'd rather protect a person who you barely know than your fellow classmate? I am shocked!"

Her little act touched the fan boy's hearts. They walked to her and started to comfort her.

"Rose, baby, don't cry!"

"We didn't mean to!"

"She cast a spell on me!"

"Than how about you stand aside so that I can punish her for hurting my poor baby, Sasha?" Rose asked, tears on the corner of her eyes. They moved aside and Rose started chasing Venus all over again.

"This is going to be a long day." Syrus concluded and they others plopped onto the sand.

At the Slyfer Dorms

"Hello? Is anyone here?" Chumley called out. "No ones here…Oh well. More grilled cheese for me!"

Thank you guys for all the alerts and favs- I would like to thank meowmeow16 in particular for reviewing so much!

I'm not trying to be sexist about guys being gullible. That is just something that popped up into my mind to add some sort of humor. Also, I'm not making fun of Chumley by making him a glutton. That is also to add humor.

I'm also new at making make-out scenes so please bear with me.
