Notes - thanks to those who added it to their favourites XD , I don't own Yugioh, gx etc, etc.

"You wish Chazz, Zane is-" Syrus growled out defensively.

"Of course I know Zane is! How thick to you think I am?! – Bastion do not answer." The obelisk said to the teenager who had opened his mouth to possibly give an analysis of Chazz's intelligence. "Anyway, that Aster Phoenix guy is something new. He's one of the rising stars in the pro-league-"

"-Due to become one of the greatest duellists in the world!" Bastion interrupted,

"And to be joined by me-"Yoko added

"And me!" Chazz and Jaden said in unison, the obelisk smirking at the Slifer's enthusiasm,

"Don't be so stupid you're more likely to end up working in a burger bar if you're lucky – never mind going near the pro-league!" Chazz scorned going over to Bastion.

"And you're more likely to fail at everything!" Jaden replied with a grin,

"Get it right slacker I don't fail, Bastion hand over your report and research." Chazz said with an open hand to the Ra yellow.

"Oh okay, what for?" Bastion said picking it up.

"To copy of course you imbecile, and you're the whizz kid in our year – try sharpening your senses!" Chazz snapped, snatching the sheaf of papers from Bastion's hands before walking off with them.

"You know you might not get them back." Chumley said watching Chazz rifle through it sitting at a desk on his own,

"I know that's why I gave him the draft, you don't honestly think I'm that stupid do you?" Bastion said picking up his real report,

"I don't think you're stupid at all, hey we should duel sometime - you put on a great display at the Entrance Exam and I missed you in the Duels today." Jaden said sadly,

"Perhaps another time Jaden, the bell's about to go so I'll be going back to my dorm."

"The bell about to go? I'm needed somewhere else anyway, it's been great meeting you all."And on cue the bell rang loudly, and the groups parted to their separate dorms as lessons had finished for the day, they only needed to receive their scores at the hall in the evening.

It was 7 pm and Yoko had spent the afternoon in her suite, personalizing her computer to the way she liked it brightly coloured and few icons, the wallpaper now sported a ballooned up photo of her friends (minus the party-elusive Kaiba) back home taken just before she left for the Academy.

"YOKO – Hey open up girl!" the voice of Jaden called out furiously instantly followed by consistant hammering on the plexiglass window of the door.

"Jaden, what are you doing here?" Yoko asked opening the door, "The Results Assembly isn't till half hour."

"I know I got bored of murdering Syrus in duels and Chumley isn't exactly the greatest person to sit with for a few hours, he just sleeps."

"Oh, well he makes great cheese burgers I hear."

"Got that right, so are you going to invite me in or wait for Banner to catch me?" And Yoko stepped to the side letting him in.

"Well I gotta say it's a great surprise visit Jay, you want something to drink?" she offered,

"Yeah, what you got?" he asked following her into the small kitchen.

"Umm, everything except for alcohol." She said opening the drinks fridge seeing it stacked full of assorted drinks.

"That's cool, I'll have this one." He said helping himself to an orange juice carton as Yoko excused herself to the bathroom and the phone began ringing as she was in there, "I guess I'll get it." He decided helpfully,

"Hello?" he said down the phone carefully.

"Yoko what happened to your voice? You must have a sore throat – I told you not to eat so much fried food it's not good for you!" a boy's voice scolded gently down the phone line.

"But fried food taste good. Like fish and chips." Jaden replied instinctively, "Uh I mean-"

"Well look what's it done to your voice, it must be killing you."

"Not really, my voice is quite well."

"Doesn't sound like it to me missus, if you're not eating healthily it'll affect your health and concentration."

"I don't concentrate usually, besides what's a few cheeseburgers ever done to anyone?"

"A few cheeseburgers?! Yoko are you feeling alright? I've never seen you devour one cheeseburger in your entire life!"

"Never mind, who's this anyway?" Jaden asked deciding he'd better steer off the topic of his health.

"What? You don't recognise me? It's me Joey your buddy!" the teenager called down surprised.

"Joey...who?" Jaden asked interested in who this caller was.

--------

"Hang on a mo'" Joey covered the handset and turned around to Yugi and Tristan who sat on the couch listening intently to Joey's side of the call.

"Your sister's lost the plot seriously, what's the Academy done to her? She eats cheeseburgers and doesn't concentrate in class!" he hissed round wildly.

"Cheese burgers? She doesn't like beef, why would she eat one?" Tristan asked surprised,

"That doesn't sound like Yoko, she listens in classes to do her best." Yugi added with a concerned frown.

"Good point Tristan, and we can blame Kaiba for everything Yugi."

"Don't even get me started on the multi-millionaire jerk." The teenager glared murderously at a non existant Kaiba in front of him.

"Chill, he'll go bankrupt eventually you know." Tristan said,

"Doubt it, but I really hope he does." Yugi replied his mood lightening.

--------

"Jaden why you on the phone?" Yoko asked finding the boy drinking his orange juice standing with the receiver clamped between his face and shoulder.

"Someone called and you couldn't pick up so..." he explained,

"Oh thanks, who is it?"

"Dunno - oh hi again." Jaden said to the phone.

"Speaker." Yoko mouthed and pointed to a button on the phone's handset which she pressed. Joey's voice was instantly transferred to it so they could both hear it as they pulled up chairs to it.

"-be concentrating in class, I mean you don't wanna end up flunking like me! Even though I'm so great and everything..."

"I do concentrate, why would I flunk?" Yoko said with Jaden grinning broadly beside her.

"Well because you said you don't concentrate, and your voice is all better now. You took some medicene?"

"Um..." Yoko began not quite sure and Jaden nodded vigorously encouraging her. "Yeah, yeah I did that stuff works dead well."

"Great, your voice isn't all gruff and croaky now." Joey commented, Jaden face became shocked in mock reaction and began to protest when Yoko clapped a hand over his mouth silencing him, "What was that?" Joey asked,

"What was wha?" Yoko asked her hand still slapped onto Jaden's face.

"Sounded like "omp!" like a tiny cough or choking." Joey said thoughtfully. Jaden smiled at Yoko, or tried to his eyes deliberately pointing out she'd have to have a comeback, can't keep people waiting on the phone can you?

"Um...yea, yea I was trying to cough but you were speaking so I had to choke it back."

"You must be rather unwell. I mean your breathings all irregular it's like two breaths at once." Joey commented, Yoko and Jaden exchanged glances she lowered her hand struggling to think of a reply.

-----

"Is Yoko sick?" Yugi asked with concern going up to Joey who had the receiver.

"I'm not sure, her voice sounds rather rough sometimes so her throat must be really sore." Joey said giving Yugi the handset just in time to hear Yoko say "It's just my hay fever probably, nothing at all to worry about."

"You don't have hay fever Yoko, well you do but it's...October, not too much hayfever round bout this time." Yugi said surprised down the handset and he switched on speaker so Tristan and Joey weren't left out of the loop.

----

"Yugi?" Yoko asked realising the phone must have changed hands.

"YUGI?!" Jaden shouted, bolting upright.

"Jaden- shoosh!" Yoko hissed quickly,

"That's Yu-"he began before Yoko tackled him into silence.

----

"I'm not the only one who heard that right?" Tristan said scratching his head.
