All Star

This is a fic about Jounouchi. Yes, Wildwolf-chan is writing a Jounouchi fic. His POV, just about him and his Duel Monsters capabilities and stuffs... Dunno, rather general. Set in no particular place.

ACK! THE RADIO IS WATCHING ME! I mean it, they just now started playing this song on the radio... **faints**

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll ya

I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed

She was lookin kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb

In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

All my life I've been told I wasn't going to be able to do anything with my life. I was told I'd be a punk, I'd end up homeless, be worth less than a rat's ass. It gets hard sometimes, specially with people like Kaiba and Rex Raptor and Mai putting me down.

Loser, yeah right. I'm not a loser, just... starting out.

Well, the hits start coming and they don't stop coming

Head to the rules and ya hit the ground running

Didn't make sense just to live for fun,

You're brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do so much to see

So what's wrong with takin the backstreets

You'll never know if you don't go

You'll never shine if you don't glow

Everyone starts out somewhere. I'm pretty sure that with time, I can be one of the best of the best, like Yuugi. I'm sure when he started out, he couldn't even spell "Dark Magician" or "Duel Monsters". Then again, he probably started before he could spell- like about four or five. Heh. Them's the breaks I guess.

But like just like a fire, if it doesn't start as a tiny flame, it can't become a roaring blaze. I'm like that. I'll get better. I start out a green Duelist, I can excel and my knowledge can better my dueling capabilities. Only time can tell. I'm only still learning all the secrets of the cards.

Hey now, your an All Star, get your game on, go play

Hey now, your a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid,

And all that glitters is gold

Only shootin stars break the mold

I'm a Duelist, I got to the Finals in the Duelist Kingdom. Me vs. Yuugi, of course he'd win, he is a roaring blaze. Yuugi won against Pegasus, even though I still don't know if I could.

After all, Kaiba defeated me, and Pegasus got him... even that brat didn't deserve that- pardon the rhyme.

It's a cool place, and they say it gets colder

You're bundled up now wait till you get older

But the media men beg to differ

Judgin by the hole in the satellite picture

The ice we skate is gettin pretty thin

The water's gettin warm so you might as well swim

My world's on fire, how about yours?

Cuz that's the way I like it and I never get bored

I would have given up, all the teasing and torment, had it not been for Yuugi and my other friends. Had it not been for Anzu and Bakura. Was it not for Honda. I would have bowed down and been weak and given up were it not for their friendship.

Not saying Yuugi doesn't ever think about giving it all up, ya know? After that second duel with Kaiba he was ready to give up on his quest to save his grandfather. No offense, but that was pathetic and weak, no one should lose heart with one loss, there will always be a way.

Yuugi himself taught me that.

Mai, she confuses me a little.

She's one of the ones who kicked me down hard when I was already faltering. I beat her, but only with Yuugi's help.

I did beat Rex without help, but that doesn't count. He's just an idiot as it is. Plus, in a way, Yuugi did help. He brought my best friend back to me. That's a real picker-upper if there ever was one.

But Mai herself? She came for money, but I can tell there's some other motive. The look in her eyes tells it. She won't reveal her true intentions and past, but we can continue being friends with her until she lets her shield down. She just doesn't want to be hurt. Almost like Yuugi and Bakura, there's two sides to her. Just, minus the Sennen Item.

So I used to not even know what the hell a trap card was and magic cards weren't my thing. Heck, I didn't even know that the Blue Eyes was the strongest single card and Exodia was the strongest combo. But I've changed, I know that weak cards can be used to overcome the most powerful, that one card can change the whole game in your direction- or the other person's.

Somebody once asked could I spare some change

I guess I need to get myself away from this place

I said yep, what a concept, I could use a little fuel myself

And we could all use a little change

I myself have been asked about the game. And I pass my advice along down to whoever asks.

But the most important thing I have to tell is what my special treasure is. But you have to solve it! Sure, I'll tell ya the answer as well, but it's something that Yuugi taught me way back when and that I taught Mai during the Duelist Kingdom.

"You can see it, but you can't see it."

Well, the hits start coming and they don't stop coming

Head to the rules and ya hit the ground running

Didn't make sense just to live for fun,

You're brain gets smart but the head gets dumb

So much to do so much to see

So what's wrong with takin the backstreets

You'll never know if you don't go

You'll never shine if you don't glow

I'll tell ya the answer, but after this.

If you're having trouble, not just with Duel Monsters, this applies to anything. If you're having problems, work with em, practice. Don't let other people's words get you down, you'll get nowhere.

Live for yourself, live your life, not someone else's. There's so much out there, try to see them one by one your own way. There could be great opportunities out there, but if you don't try, you won't know. Take the road less traveled, as my Literature teacher once said.

I was always told I was smart knowledge-wise, but stupid when it came to actions. Don't let things like that come in your way, they'll get you down.

Hey now, your an All Star, get your game on, go play

Hey now, your a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid,

And all that glitters is gold

Only shootin stars break the mold

And all that glitters is gold

Only shootin stars break the mold

The answer to my riddle? "You can see it, but you can't see it."

My special treasure is friendship. You can see Yuugi and I, Honda, Anzu, and Bakura. You can see you and your friends, but you can't see the bond that holds everyone together.

I know, it sounds corny, but just hear me out. That's my greatest treasure, the friendship of others. And that friendship got me through.

Just remember, everyone starts somewhere. Everyone is a novice at first and builds up. Don't get disheartened, cause you've never lived if you give up. And you'll never win if you never try.

See ya!

-Jounouchi, Katsuya

I put in some of my own thoughts here, because I can relate to Jounouchi very well. I've been told I won't do anything good with myself.

My feelings for him change. Sometimes he's a jerk and that's when pencils/pens fly at his head and 10% of the time swerves to hit Honda. The other times he's really sweet and lovable.

Seto: **gags**

Me: Seto! **points out the door**

Anyways, Jounouchi's cool sometimes, but he's not my favorite.

The song fits, neh?
