I can't believe I haven't updated for nearly two weeks, please forgive me but I've been getting more lax lately though I have updated my Sailor Moon and 5D's story so you can't accuse me of being a lazy ass. Sorry that I asked you guys for reviews but in school I learnt something in psychology, so I was wondering if by setting a limit on the amount of reviews I received would I get more or less and the answer is I got more but then again I didn't update for two weeks so it could have been a coincidence. But I don't care about reviews because to me, people following my story and adding it to favourites says more to me then one review ever could, so you guys don't have to review if you don't want to as I find reviews are only useful as feedback to see if the readers like the direction the story is heading. I set up a poll as you guys know about what this story needs more of and the top three is More Jamie and Zane moments which got the vast majority of the votes, more duels and more humour which was both tied at 7 out of 14 people.
So rest assured my readers I will add a few more romantic moments to the cutest couple in this story. Also does anybody know any songs that describe Jamie and Zane's relationship? Also on an unrelated note does anybody know what the song Under the Sheets by Ellie Goulding is about since its one of my fave songs but it's annoying that I don't know what it's about. Also I have a community for stories about Jaden having a twin sister so if you know any stories and want to join then just ask me. Also I watched the abridged movie of Yu-Gi-Oh! Bonds Beyond Time and it was awesome! Watching Jaden rapping is amazing and my favourite one is either Paraboss, Up in here or Stronger. Why do the abridged make Jaden look like an idiot that nobody likes? Originally I hated Jaden but when I found out he was my age and understood him more, I realised that he is the pinnacle of teenagers everywhere that we can all relate to him. Friendship is important, having fun doing the things you love, never give up when things look hopeless and that we shouldn't be forced to look to the future since we're still young and we don't have to find our vocation at this age. Thank you Jaden Yuki, for helping me feel better about myself and what's really important.
Friday 4th November 2011: 1:30pm
"Da dun, da dun, da da da da da da da da duunnnn." I hummed the pink panther theme song while scaling the wall with my back.
It's a free period for first years so I'm not missing any important lessons.
"What are you doing?" Miranda ruined the moment by walking normally down the corridor.
"Sneaking into Bastion's room to see what he and Sam are planning. Also why are you in the Ra dorm?" I asked.
"To make sure your not going to do anything stupid." she rolled her eyes.
I grabbed her hand, "Then come on!"
I started to drag her by the hand and she protested until we reached Bastion's room. I tried to open the door but it was locked.
"Well we tried." I turned away before Miranda pushed me to the side.
She took a bobby pin out of her hair and fiddled around with the lock until she pushed the door open. I looked at her in surprise, "How did you…"
"My older brother James taught me how." she informed me.
"You have got to teach me that." I laughed as I walked in.
"Maybe when you become more mature." Miranda replied while following me in.
"Hey!" I snapped.
"What's Bastion done to his walls?" Miranda asked.
Bastions walls were still covered with formulas. On his desk was all these test tubes filled with different colour liquids.
"Don't worry that's normal for Bastion. But those test tubes aren't." I pointed out.
Miranda walked over to the desk and started to examine the tubes. I bounced on Bastion's bed and I could see this piece of paper covered in black writing on the desk.
"Hey…Miranda…there's some…paper…beside the…desk!" I was still bouncing on the bed.
"Thanks Jamie and stop bouncing, you'll break Bastion's bed." she scolded while checking the paper.
Her face paled (more pale than usual) as her eyes scanned the page. I slowed down until I had stopped bouncing completely.
"Oh my gosh! This is worse than we could ever imagine! Their…"
The door suddenly burst open which caused Miranda and me to stare at it in terror.
"What are you doing in my room?" Bastion demanded.
Sam was wearing her glasses which meant she had been reading something. She looked at the paper Miranda was holding; nudged Bastion and she whispered something into his ear.
"We know all about your evil plan and do you know what? It's not gonna work!" Miranda yelled.
"Yeah! What's their plan again?" I asked.
"Our plan to plant stink bombs over the entire school and set them off in one synchronised moment." Sam grinned.
"That is brilliant!" I exclaimed.
Miranda gave me a death look, "I mean you'll never get away with this!"
"I disagree because you won't be able to stop us." Sam took this small black ball and threw it at the floor.
Almost immediately this thick white smoke filled the room. I started to cough and feel dizzy which made me fall off the bed. I landed on my head which was pretty painful, I ended up blacking out.
Miranda's POV
I couldn't see anything but I did hear a loud thump. I wouldn't be surprised if Jamie fell off the bed. Suddenly there was this loud bang as if the door was being slammed shut. I bumped into something; I think it was the desk because I could hear this sloshing sound. Eventually when I found the window, I opened it and all the smoke cleared. Jamie was asleep on the floor which was typical. I rolled across the bed to get to the door but I couldn't open it. I tried to pull it open but I couldn't. Something must be jamming it from the other side. As far as I'm aware the only exit was that door plus the window was too small to climb out of. In other words we are trapped! I checked my PDA but I had forgotten to charge it. So we have not exit, no communication and one of us is sleeping. Well there is only one thing to do.
"Help us!" I yelled while hitting the door.
"What are you doing?" Alice asked.
"Trying to escape." I replied.
Alice gestured to Jamie, "What's wrong with her?"
"She's asleep." I rolled my eyes.
"Perfect timing, want me to go get help?" she asked.
"From Jaden?" I asked.
"No the tooth fairy. Of course I mean Jaden!" Alice snapped.
"Just asking, now hurry!" I urged.
With a roll of her eyes, Alice had disappeared. She better hurry or else we'll be too late to stop Team Brainiac.
Jaden's POV
"I'll raise you three animal crackers." I pushed my small pile of animal crackers to the centre of the table.
Currently Chumley, Syrus, Ellie, Alexis and I were playing Duel Monsters poker. It was like ordinary poker except we mixed up our monster cards and used their levels as numbers and the attributes like symbols. Like a level 4 Etoile Cyber which is an earth attribute stands for a 4 of spades.
"I'll bet one chocolate button." Syrus added to the growing pile.
"That's weak." Ellie rolled her eyes.
"Where's you sense of excitement?" Alexis asked.
"Oi, airhead! Your hair's still pink?" Alice appeared next to me.
"What did I say about you calling me that? Also I'm in the middle of winning here. It hasn't worn out yet." I said.
"Miranda and Jamie need your help. Their locked in Bastion's room." she explained.
"You're joking right?" I asked.
"When do I ever joke?" she asked.
"Good point, sorry guys but duty calls. Don't look at my hand." I ordered as I set my cards facedown on the table.
"What!" everybody complained.
"My sister needs me and what kind of brother would I be if I didn't help her?" I asked.
"Then let me come with." Syrus got up.
"Count us in." Alexis and Ellie got up.
"You guys can't just bail on me her." Chumley moaned.
"Then come on." I gestured for him to get up.
He reluctantly got up and followed us. I ran to the Ra Yellow dorm and found a chair wedged under Bastion's door knob. I could hear some faint knocking,
"Help." someone said.
I quickly moved the chair, pushed the door open and found Miranda behind the door and Jamie sleeping on the floor.
"Took you guys long enough." Miranda got up.
I bent down to wake Jamie up but she wasn't. I shook her even more but she refused to wake up.
"She's not waking up!" I panicked.
"Stand back! I know first aid." Ellie announced.
"Since when?" Syrus asked.
"I said I know first aid, I'm not qualified." Ellie bent down next to Jamie and examined her.
"She's still breathing, strong pulse but why isn't she…? Oh, Jaden! There's a nasty bump on her head!" Ellie squealed.
"She must have fallen off the bed and hit her head. What do we do?" Miranda asked.
"Take her to the nurse." Alexis said.
"But who's gonna carry her?" I asked.
Wait, Chumley! We all looked at Chumley. He let out a huge sigh.
"Fine." he picked up Jamie into his arms.
As we walked to the infirmary we started to quiz Miranda.
"What were you doing in Bastion's room?" Syrus asked.
"I almost forgot! We have to evacuate the school! Bastion and Sam are planning to stink bomb the entire school." Miranda explained.
"That is awesome!" I exclaimed.
"You Yuki's. Can't you understand how serious this is? This doesn't affect a small group of us, this affects the whole school. What if Bastion and Sam get expelled?" Miranda asked.
"Good point, Chumley, take Jamie. Syrus, Miranda let's go!" I ran away.
"Wait up Jay!" Syrus shouted.
"We can't afford to stop running." Miranda followed us.
We ran over the entire school but we couldn't find them.
"This is gonna take forever, we're never gonna find them." I moaned.
"We just need to think, where in the school would they be that nobody visits?" Miranda asked.
"The library!" Syrus exclaimed.
"We have a library?" I asked.
We have a library? This is the first I've heard of it.
"Exactly, good work Syrus." Miranda smiled.
"I do what I do." Syrus shrugged.
"Well let's go." Miranda led us up a few stairs and through some corridors.
We approached these two brown double doors with glass in the middle. I peered through the glass and I saw several books on different shelves.
"Wow, when did we get a library?" I asked.
They fell on the floor momentarily before shooting up.
"Seriously?" they asked.
"Let's go in." I pushed the door open.
The entire library was empty, no students or teachers.
"Guess you guys were wrong." I stated.
Suddenly I heard this loud thump, like a book was being dropped on the floor. I pushed the door open and I was face to face with Bastion and Sam. Bastion was holding a remote control in his hand.
"We know your plan and guess what? We're here to stop you." Miranda said.
"You're too late, with just a push of a button the whole academy will fall." Bastion laughed.
"But your forgetting one simple thing, nobody messes with my sister." I decked him on the floor.
We started to struggle for the remote and it fell out of Bastion's hand and slide onto the floor. When Bastion tried to pull himself towards the remote, I pulled him back and nearly got the remote.
"Just…give…up." Bastion said.
"Never!" I replied.
I grabbed a hardback off the shelf and hit Bastion's hand with it. As he gasped in pain, I was able to grab the remote and stand up.
"Who's laughing now?" I asked.
He grabbed a book off the shelf and threw it at my hand so that the remote popped out of my hand, hit the wall and broke into large pieces. That can't be good.
"When the remote is destroyed then the stink bomb automatically goes off." Sam explained.
"We have approximately two minutes before this school smells worse than fifty skunks!" Bastion said.
"But what about the whole academy?" Miranda asked.
"Either we all get out and save ourselves or you try to save everyone but at the cost of being exposed to the stink bomb. Either way Bastion and I are leaving." Sam replied.
They both hastily left but we didn't stop them. We have a much bigger issue on our hands.
"Miranda you evacuate the freshmen classes, Syrus you evacuate the sophomore classes and I'll evacuate the senior classes." I commanded.
"Right." Miranda agreed.
"Whatever you say Jay." Syrus said.
We all piled our hands in the middle of the circle before shouting, "Break!"
Then we all ran off to our assigned classes. That was when I remembered that Zane was in the senior class, should I tell them?
Miranda's POV
Last week if anybody told me that I would be saving my classmates from a stink bomb I would have laughed in their faces. They made this year hell for me but hanging around with Jamie has changed me. But is it for the better or for the worse? That's when I stopped running, should I help them? Even though they bullied me?
Syrus' POV
I ran to the game room since that's where most of our class hang out when it's free period.
"Everybody! Get out of school! A stink bomb is about to explode!" I shouted.
"And why should we believe you, Slifer slacker?" an Obelisk asked.
"Because..." I was interrupted by this sudden explosion which was followed by several others.
The stench was indescribable but I thought it smelled like fifty skunks, a hundred year old cheese, rotten eggs and sweaty socks.
"Oh my God!" several guys yelled.
"This stinks!" some girls wailed.
Everyone started to gag including me so I ran out of the room, searching for an exit. After about a minute I found a door, ran out and started to breathe in the fresh air.
Jaden's POV
I was too late if only I was earlier, I thought. The whole school had to be evacuated and the rest of afternoon classes had been cancelled so some good had come out of this mess. Crowler was freaking out because he was trying to figure out who had done this, I would have told him but I'm not a snitch.
"What are you thinking about?" Jamie asked.
She had regained consciousness after the stink bomb exploded and she had a huge white bandage wrapped around her forehead and the back of her head.
"I feel like I could have done something to stop this." I admitted.
"It's not your fault; you did all you could while I was catching up on my Z's." She replied.
"Don't try to lighten the mood, you ended up like Jack from the Jack and Jill nursery rhyme." I said.
"Except I didn't mend my head with vinegar and brown paper." She laughed.
I laughed as I got the image stuck in my head.
"I see your fine." Miranda told Jamie.
"No thanks to you, how could you think I was sleeping?" Jamie asked.
"Sorry but your always sleeping so can you blame me?" Miranda asked.
"Good point, I forgive you." Jamie held her arms out for a hug.
Miranda and Jamie had a big hug when Chumley, Ellie, Alexis, Zane, Emily, Tara and Violet came up to us. Where are Syrus and Janet?
"Awww, this is such a cute scene." Ellie squealed.
They broke away; Miranda crossed her arms while Jamie was smiling before she winced and clutched her head.
"Does your head hurt?" Zane asked.
"Yeah, I really had a bad fall." Jamie replied.
"Maybe you should get some rest." Zane suggested.
"I would if my room didn't smell." Jamie laughed before grimacing in pain.
Before Zane could go near Jamie, I put my arm around her shoulder.
"Forget the whole academy smelling, you need to go back to the infirmary and get some rest." I ordered.
"That might be a good idea, Zane will you take me?" Jamie asked.
"Of course." Zane nodded.
"No, I'll take her." I said.
Before he could reply I heard this thunderous roar which caused several people to scream.
"What the heck!" Tara shouted while pointing at the sky.
We all followed her finger to see the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon! It blew white lightning from each of its three heads which set the building on fire! The orangey red flames started to engulf the entire academy. Dr. Crowler fainted which would have been funny if we weren't staring in the face of a fire breathing dragon. The whole school was in pandemonium.
"Everybody calm down!" Syrus shouted.
"Why should we?" Emily asked.
"Because the dragon is not real!" Janet exclaimed.
"What do you mean the dragon isn't real?" I demanded.
Janet held up this remote, pointed it at the dragon, pressed a button and the dragon disappeared along with
"Using KaibaCorp's holographic technology and the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon card I inherited from my father, I was able to reproduce a life-size hologram of the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. The dragon and the fire never existed as it was all an illusion." Janet explained.
"I admit that was an amazing feat but it cannot go unpunished, Syrus Truesdale and Janet Kaiba, you are both sentenced to help behind the scenes in the academies talent show as well as serving one week detention." Chancellor Sheppard said sternly.
"Yes Chancellor Sheppard." Syrus and Janet replied.
"Its official, Team Short have won the prank war. Congratulations you get this imaginary crown." Ellie grinned.
"You mean we went through all of that for some stupid imaginary crown?" Janet asked.
"Also acknowledgement among us, until next prank war where we'll challenge you for you for the crown. Maybe Atticus and Zane will join in next time." Ellie replied.
"Ellie!" Alexis snapped.
"I'm trying to be optimistic, we'll find him Lexi." Ellie said.
"Ellie's right Alexis, we will find him." Zane agreed.
"But right now we need to find Sam and Bastion." Jamie announced.
"No, we will find Bastion and Sam. You on the other hand are going straight to the infirmary." I said.
"But Jay..."
"No buts, I hate to play the bad guy but you need to rest." I sighed.
"Fine." Jamie pouted before walking off with Zane following her.
Sam and Bastion first, Zane later.
Jamie's POV
"Thank goodness Jaden is so preoccupied with Bastion and Sam that he's left us alone together." I smiled.
I was currently sitting up in a bed holding an ice pack to my head, in the infirmary with Zane sitting in a chair beside me. The stink bomb hadn't really affected the infirmary so it was bearable for us both to be here (with Nurse Fontaine hovering around of course) but at least I got some quality time with Zane.
"You need to rest." Zane reminded me.
"I'll be fine, besides we need to talk." I said.
"I was told that if a girl said those words, it's a bad sign." He replied.
"That's only if the couple are dating Zaney. I mean what's up with you these days? You barely talk to me." I stated.
"I've been busy with schoolwork because like I've said before, this is my last year here at the academy and I have a ton of work to do."
I put my hand on top of his, "Just don't leave me on the sidelines, it would be nice to talk once in a while."
He smiled, "That's what we're doing right now."
"You know what I mean. Are you entering the talent show?" I asked.
"No, I'm actually one of the judges." He replied.
"Let me guess, it's because you're as boring as a stick, you have no friends so you'll be impartial to the contestants?" I suggested.
"Correct, but I must warn you that Dr. Crowler is one of the judges."
"That's not good, that guy is so biased. He better not purposely mark down Emily just because she used to be a Slifer." I scowled.
"Chancellor Sheppard, Ms Fontaine, Professor Banner and Professor Satyr are also judging. It's not like Crowler is in charge of the whole thing."
"That's good since me and Jaden are both doing something together."
"This I have to see." Zane laughed.
"All in good time." I yawned.
"You need to get some rest Jamie." Ms Fontaine stated.
"I don't wanna go to sleep." I pouted.
"Sleep is good and if your boyfriend cares about you, he'll leave right now." She raised one of her eyebrows.
What a subtle hint.
"He's not my boyfriend." I said.
"I'll just leave. Get well soon Jamille." Zane smirked as he got up and turned to leave.
"Right back at you wet cat." I countered.
"But I'm perfectly fine." He answered.
"Not if I get out of this bed."
Zane hastily left after that minor comment I made.
"Does he really look like my boyfriend?" I asked Ms Fontaine.
"Why else would he be staying by your side? Ah to be young and in love." she smiled.
"I'm not in love; love is just an overused word that has become meaningless. Let's just say I have strong feelings for him." I rolled my eyes as I handed her the icepack.
"I'm not judging you; get some sleep and no dueling for at least two days."
"Sure, I hear you. I'll duel tomorrow. I muttered as I rolled over and fell into a deep slumber.
Jaden's POV
"I can't believe you got away with ruining the whole school." Janet frowned.
"At least we didn't broadcast our prank across the entire school." Sam replied.
"Yes you did, in fact the whole school was affected." I reminded her.
"It sounded better in my head, ok." Sam admitted.
"For a genius you're not that good at back chat." Ellie said.
"I'm a science genius not an English genius but I'm better at English then Chazz." Sam stated.
"Speaking of Chazz, I wonder whatever happened to him. I hope he's ok." I said.
Chazz's POV
I'm stuck on a sinking ship with no life preservers, I'm definitely not ok!
"You need to stop looking at the bad side of life Chazzaroo." Jaden and Jamie laughed.
I mentally hit him, damn that Slifer slacker! Speaking of slackers I wonder what Sam's doing? She's probably crying herself to sleep since she has no friends and she's being bullied. At least one thing can make me smile in this horrible situation.
Jaden's POV
"He's probably on one of my family's private islands, sunbathing while drinking pineapple juice in a coconut cup." Sam shrugged.
Chazz's POV
Oh how I wish I was on one of my family's islands sunbathing while drinking pineapple juice in a coconut cup. Instead I'm in a foggy area in the middle of the ocean, drinking seawater.
Jaden's POV
"That does sound like something Chazz would be doing." I smiled.
"So what are you guys doing for the talent show next week?" Emily asked.
"I'm doing something with Jamie." I replied.
"I want to sing but I'm way too scared to sing on my own." Tara shuddered.
"Hey, why don't you sing with Emily?" Ellie suggested.
"That's a good idea, big sister why don't you do a duet with Emily?" Violet asked with her bambi eyes.
"Only if you play your violin mini munch." Tara countered.
"Aww that would be so cute." Ellie gushed.
"Ellie and I are stuck dancing with Mindy and Jasmine." Alexis moaned.
"I want to do something involving my puppets." Miranda sighed.
"Hey Miranda, let's talk." Janet led Miranda away.
"That can't be good." Syrus commented.
"Rich girl with Goth girl, that can't be good." Bastion said.
"What's the worst that can happen?" I asked.
One week later: Friday 4th November 2011: 6:30pm
Jamie's POV
We are all backstage waiting for our time to shine. Me and Jaden's hair was still pink and he was wearing a black tuxedo while I was wearing a sleeveless red dress that fell just above my knees (don't ask). Tara, Emily, Violet, Bastion, Sam, Miranda, Syrus and Janet were still wearing their uniform. Ellie, Alexis, Mindy and Jasmine were wearing this weird hip hop get up. We were all competing in the talent show besides Syrus who was a stage hand. He was currently helping Jaden look for his white rabbit (again don't ask). The host of the evening was Zane 'Boring' Truesdale. The boy had much pep as a dead cat so of course I had to save him halfway. I pushed through the red curtain, grabbed the microphone from his hand along with the cards and pushed him aside. The whole student body was shocked at this so I decided to make a joke to show them that it was a good thing I was taking Zane's place.
"Hello Duel Academy I'm Jamie Yuki and tonight I'll be hosting this talent show tonight." I smiled brightly.
Everybody let out a weak cheer.
"Let's try this again, I'll introduce myself and you guys will cheer as loud as you can. Can you guys do that for me?" I asked.
"Yes." they replied weakly.
"I said, CAN YOU GUYS DO THAT FOR ME?" I yelled.
"YES!" they shouted.
"That's more like it. I'm Jamie Yuki and I'll be your host for tonight. Can I get a woo hoo?" I asked.
Everybody loudly cheered,
"Much better, you guys are awesome! I'm lucky to be your host. Welcome to our yearly talent show and boys and girls have we got some acts for you. But first, why is six afraid of seven?" I asked.
Everybody looked confused, "Because seven ate nine!" I said the punch line.
The whole crowd started to laugh as they understood the joke. The secret to good headlining is to smile often, make loads of jokes, act like your having a great time and be over the top.
"Now first up is the band Kicking Daffodils." I announced and clapped my hands as I walked offstage to let the first act walk on.
Kicking Daffodils consisted of four Obelisk students but two were girls and the other were guys. One girl had wavy mid back length black hair, tanned skin, brown eyes, she was wearing purple and black striped fingerless gloves and she was holding drumsticks. The other girl had shoulder length black hair, blue eyes, fair skin and she was holding a yellow and white electric guitar. The boy who appeared to be the youngest had shoulder length teal hair, green and brown eyes, fair skin and he was holding a blue bass. The last boy appeared to be the oldest since he was really tall, maybe six feet? He had short black hair, blue eyes, tanned skin and he walked over to the microphone stand.
"I'm Eliza Suishou." The girl holding the drumsticks announced. She had walked over to the drum kit.
"I'm Pride Wolf." The other girl grinned.
"I'm Kayden Hunter." The short boy said.
"I'm Renn Shou and we are Kicking Daffodils." The last boy announced.
Eliza held up her drumsticks and hit them together, "One, two, three, four!" She yelled before hitting the drums.
I had to admit that it was pretty tuneful and the rest of the band wasn't bad either but they sung this rock song about a girl and war. The crowd clapped at a medium level but it wasn't a bad opening act. As Kicking Daffodils walked off the stage I walked back on.
"What a nice way to kick start the show, next on the stage we have Lalissa and Elliana Windstorm performing an interpretive dance to the song Colours of the Wind. But first here's a joke, so this guy walked up to a girl in a bar and asked, "Is your name Flora?" and the girl replied, "No, why?" and he said, "Because you look butters." I laughed.
It took the crowd a minute to understand the joke (Flora as in butter) before some of them giggled.
"Please enjoy this act." I zoomed off the stage.
One girl was tall and had waist length blonde hair, fair skin, aquamarine eyes and big boobs. The other was shorter and she had cocoa coloured hair tied in a ponytail that nearly reached her waist, cerulean eyes and smaller boobs then her sister (but still bigger than me). They were both wearing black short sleeve white shirts and black skin tight trousers. They both got into starting positions as the music started; when they started to dance I thought they were really good because I found it quite meaningful and captivating. The audience also thought they were quite good because they clapped louder than the first act.
"How awesome was that everybody? Can we get another round of applause?" I whooped.
Everybody agreed with me and clapped again, "Next up is Violet Phoenix playing a violin con-con-con." I tried to say concerto.
"Concerto!" Violet shouted.
"What she said, in D Major by Bee-th-oven" I said.
"Beethoven!" Zane shouted.
"You know what? Just enjoy this next act." I stormed off stage.
Violet got on stage with her violin and I started to fall asleep as she started playing (classical music is so soothing I can't help it) but I was woken up by Emily hitting me so that I could get back on the stage. I quickly ran back onto the stage.
"That was just precious; also what's invisible but smells like carrots? Rabbit farts." I yawned.
That may be a crappy joke but it gets the job done, "Next we have Salvatore Kane performing some karate moves." I walked off stage again to allow this guy who was wearing a white bathrobe.
He had fair skin, shoulder length brown hair, green eyes and he was really tall. I saw Mindy and Jasmine drool over him. The only thing I liked about this act was that he broke loads of stuff in half like wood. I looked on the list and apparently me and Jaden we next, time to give the mic to Syrus. The curtains closed so that Jaden and I could set up while Syrus was doing stand up comedy to entertain the crowd which was a giant disaster since the crowd was booing. I poked my head out of the curtains to tell Sy that I and Jaden were ready. He appeared to be relieved and walked off the stage so that he could open the curtains. Jaden was currently wearing a top hat and was holding a magic wand (you know the ones that were black and white).
"Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, teachers of all ages and Crowler. Welcome to my magic show, I am the Great Jaydini and this is my assistant the Lovely Jamie." Jaden announced while I gave a wave.
I was only there because A all magicians need assistants, B we were family so I had to help him and C so that if he did anything to get in trouble I would be sharing the punishment with him. Also the Fortune Lady's would be helping us with some of the tricks. Jaden took his hat off, "As you can see there is clearly nothing in this hat but with a few hits from this wand I will make a rabbit appear."
Jaden took his hat off, showed the audience it was empty but before he hit it with his wand he told me, "But first we need the magic words, which is?"
"I have a magic trick for you. It should be tons of fun so play close attention and guess how it's done." I recited.
Jaden then tapped the outer rim of the hat with the wand and stuffed his hand in the hat but it came up empty. Jaden laughed nervously before looking for the rabbit in the hat. The audience were laughing at us which was bad but then I realised what he did wrong so I took the hat off him. I started to pat the wand on the hat in a certain rhythm before putting my hand in and pulling out a stuffed white rabbit (you didn't think it was real did you?) and showed it to the audience.
"Ta da! And now I need a volunteer from the audience."
Loads of people put their hands up but I walked down and picked an Obelisk girl from my class and brought her up to the stage.
"Now what's your name and age?" I asked.
"Lucy Sakura and I am 16." She replied.
Lucy had green eyes, wavy black hair that was my length, fair skin, she was taller than me by like five inches and she was wearing black tights with her uniform like I did.
"What do you think of the act so far Lucy?" I asked.
"Well it's entertaining that's for sure." Lucy giggled.
"Could you do me a solid?" I asked.
"Ok, what is it?" she asked.
"Could you give me you dueling deck? Now I know it's a huge favour since your cards are extremely precious but I promise nothing bad will happen to it." I replied.
"Why do you need my deck?" she asked.
"Because the next trick involves cards and we need to show people we're not cheating or rigging anything." Jaden explained.
"If you say so." Lucy handed me her deck which I handed to Jaden.
He started to shuffle it and then spread it out in his hand, "Pick a card, any card."
Lucy plucked a card in the middle, "Now show the audience your card but not to us." I said.
Lucy did as we said, "Now what?" she asked.
"Put the card back." Jaden said.
She put the card back in the deck which Jaden shuffled before flicking through it and selecting a card, "Now is this your card?"
Jaden was showing everybody Magician's Valkyria and everybody gasped in shock, "How did you..."
"Magic. Now everybody why don't we give Lucy a hand for being such a good sport." I started to clap my hands and the audience did the same.
"Now for our last trick I plan to make my assistant disappear!" Jaden exclaimed.
Everybody started to cheer when they heard that, I looked over to Zane who still had his Zane face on but in his eyes you could tell he was smiling. He's probably thinking that Jaden will mess up. There was this tall thin black box that was divided in three places and had these white question marks on each door. Jaden opened it and gestured for me to walk inside it which I did. I was nervous because the trick involved me falling through a trap door in the darkness when Jaden hit it and then me climbing back up when Jaden gives the signal knock. Jaden closed all three doors and then knocked it, at that cue Syrus would pull a level for me to fall through the trap door. The trick went as planned but while I was underground I had a wicked idea.
Jaden's POV
So far the audience loved the trick as they all clapped when Jamie had disappeared and they would be even more impressed when she would reappear. I spinned the box three times before knocking it and opening it but instead of Jamie reappearing she was still gone. Oh crap! I stuck my head through the curtains so that I could talk to Syrus.
"What did you do?" I asked him.
"Me? I did nothing, what if you actually made Jamie disappear?" he asked.
"I'm pretty sure that's impossible." I replied.
"So where is she?"
Good point, how will I explain to Mum and Dad that I made Jamie disappear? Suddenly there was this loud cheering; I gave Syrus a puzzled look before pulling me head out. Jamie was walking up the aisle while waving, when she stepped on the stage I was ready to ask her what happened but then again the audience didn't have to know that the trick wasn't meant to happen like that.
"The Great Jaydini thanks you." I bowed down as the curtains pulled across us so it blocked us from the audience.
"What did you do?" I asked Jamie.
"Well..."
Flashback: Jamie's POV
What if I suddenly appeared in the back of the hall? That would be an amazing trick, I thought. I ran down the underground tunnels so that I was by this ladder which I climbed up and came face to face with this trap door which I pushed and climbed through. When I was above ground I started to walk back to the stage to meet a surprised audience.
Present:
"And that's what happened." I explained.
"I actually thought it was my fault you had disappeared." Jaden sighed.
"No offense but your not that good a magician." I laughed.
"Wish us luck guys." Tara smiled nervously.
"Good luck and wait, who's headlining?" I asked.
I stormed off to the stage and it was Zane! I'm meant to be the host of this show! I went over to him and took the mic off him.
"Next up is Tara Phoenix and Emily Blaze singing a duet to You Thought Wrong by Kelly Clarkson featuring Tamyra Gray" I whooped before shoving Zane off the stage.
Tara and Emily walked to the middle of the stage and I handed Tara my microphone so that Emily had the one in the mic stand since she would be playing her guitar along with a few kind other people who volunteered to be the backing crew. I knew this one of the girls; Ellie Reika who agreed to be one of the two backing vocals, the other was a girl Aleza who I didn't know very well. I walked off the stage as the opening tune to the song started:
"I see how you're tryin toWeasel, your way in boy;know how you manoeuvre,with all your confusion." Tara sang.
It looked like Tara would be singing Tamyra's part and Emily would be singing Kelly's part.
"You tell me that I'm your only,and how bad that you want me.Then why are you so shady,
if I'm supposed to be your lady?" Emily sang.
Her voice was a bit quiet since she was so nervous but as the song progressed she became louder and confident and by the chorus her and Tara seemed to be having a great time as they sung together.
"You thought that we didn't know, you thought we were in the dark. But boy you've done us wrong, cuz we both know now; you thought you had us both, at your beck 'n call. But now who's the joke?And look who's laughin' now." They both sung.
The chorus came as a shock because it was when the backup singers including Tara and Emily sung at the same time but that only made the song more powerful. They had gotten the loudest round of applause when the song had finished and me and Zane had reached a compromise, we would both be co hosts.
"Ladies and gentleman how about a huge round of applause for Tara and Emily?" I whooped.
"That was one of the most powerful acts I've seen tonight but next up we have Miranda Caine and Janet Kaiba..." Zane started before I interrupted him.
"Performing a puppetry act." I finished before pushing Zane off the stage.
Miranda's last name is Caine? Who knew? Miranda and Janet walked onto the stage but Miranda had no puppets, weird. Suddenly these huge 3D puppets appeared on the stage, one looked like Miranda except she was wearing this gothic Lolita style dress with accessories and the other was a guy who was wearing a tuxedo. What are they planning? That was when the girl puppet started to speak,
"How dare you cheat on me?" the girl puppet demanded with her hands on her hips.
"But baby..." the male puppet started.
"Don't you baby me, you lying cheating scumbag!" the girl puppet slapped him which was a funny spectacle.
"I'm a man, I have needs." He pleaded.
"What about my needs Bobby?" she asked.
"Maybe if you weren't busy working all the time." Bobby stated.
"So now it's my fault? You know what, get out!" she shoved Bobby.
"Maggie, you can't let it end like this." Bobby replied.
"Watch me!" Maggie screamed.
Bobby fell down on his knees, "Please take me back."
"I need you as much as I need a hole in the head! Now goodbye!"
Bobby and Maggie disappeared and the crowd started to cheer.
"You tell him sister!" this Obelisk girl said.
Miranda and Janet both curtsied before getting off the stage, I high fived Miranda and congratulated her and Janet. Time to introduce Pink Sugar to the school, oh how I pity the poor saps.
"Next up we have the dance group called Pink Sugar." I introduced.
"Who will be dancing to Moves like Jagger by Maroon 5." Zane said.
"Hey Zane?" I asked.
"Yes Jamie?" he asked.
"Do you have the Moves like Jagger?" I laughed.
"Perhaps but you'll never find out." He walked off the stage.
"What do you mean I'll never find out? Zane!" I followed him off the stage.
I ended up losing him; he probably went to hide off in his hidey hole. I watched Mindy, Jasmine, Ellie and Alexis get on the stage. Let's just say their dancing is something I'll never forget cause I was rolling on the floor laughing and so did the audience. Zane came up to me at the last minute and he was actually choking from laughter, just another thing he can add to the list of embarrassing moments by Ellie Truesdale. We both had to straighten up so that we could introduce the last act.
"Well I don't know about you Zane but I say tonight was awesome! I'm actually kinda sad to introduce the last act but like the age old saying the best always comes last." I announced.
"You took the words right out of my mouth Jamie. Now the last act of the evening will be Samantha Princeton and Bastion Misawa."
"Doing some sciencey stuff, but you better watch out cause when two geniuses get together then we are in trouble."
We both got off the stage and I didn't have to push Zane this time. There was this table in the middle of the stage with all these chemicals and test tubes. Bastion and Sam were wearing safety goggles and lab coats.
"Good evening, tonight we intend to wow you." Bastion started.
"With a little something called science and how fun it can be." Sam finished.
Sam and Bastion poured all these different chemicals in all these different beakers and in a sequence, these different colour gases emerged. It was pretty how they were able to make all these different colours. Also they made a few things explode which like I said before, stuff being broken is so cool! When they were finished, Zane went to confer with the rest of the judges while the rest of us were nervously crossing our fingers, hoping that we were all good enough to win the talent show but in our hearts, we knew there could be only one winner.
Let me explain why I didn't announce the winners, you know how in great shows like Britain's got Talent, X-Factor and American Idol its not just the judges that vote but also the audience. So my dear readers go onto my current poll and vote for the winner of the talent show. The OC's in this chapter are not mine but other people's OC's after the current poll I'll ask you guys who you want to see more often. Next chapter we find out the winner of the talent show and then its winter break where we will be continuing with the storyline since we have been sidetracked for far too long. Also I'm off school for a week so I will try to update soon. See you guys soon. Also on my bio is my character profile so if you want to understand Miranda, Jamie and Hazel Valentine better then go on there. I will put Ally Fudo up there soon as well as Mizuki. I know you guys wanted Bastion and Sam to win but lets be honest, the rich people always win and I made up all of the stunts in the prank.
