Encounter
Chapter 4
School Day
As Joey and Serenity got their schedules for their classes, they both realized that they ended up in the same science class first hour. The reason why Serenity's in the same grade level was because she skipped a grade because of her high performance; even after doing that, she's still at high standards. They entered the room and saw Yugi, Tristan, Tea, and Duke.
"Hey guys," Joey said.
"Hey, Joey," Yugi responded.
They all got together and talked for a little while till they heard another person walk in: Bakura.
"Yo, Bakura, what're ya doing here?" Joey asked.
"Well, I go to this school," Bakura said.
Everyone else but Yugi began to talk to him. He remembered the news of Bakura disappearing without a trace. Yami, who is currently dormant in Yugi, didn't have a good feeling about all of this. He couldn't tell if they're talking to Bakura, or the tomb robber. Yugi went into the same trail of thought that Yami was in.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Yugi asked.
"I don't know, Yugi. I just don't have a good feeling about Bakura," Yami said.
"Well, I don't have a good feeling about it either, but he doesn't seem to be like the evil Bakura we met back then."
"Yes, that's true, but we can't assume anything until we know for sure."
Soon after, the bell rang and everyone in the room scrambled to their seats, or what they assume is their seats. The teacher came in and greeted himself.
"Good morning class," the teacher said.
"Good morning Mr. Bernard," the class responded in unison.
"Today, I would like you to welcome my assistant teacher for our class," Mr. Bernard said.
As the door opened, a cornerian wearing a military like suit came in with nearly three feet of papers that he had. Yugi and the others recognized him, but Serenity and Joey knew who he was right away.
"Fox," Joey and Serenity said in unison.
He looked over, causing him to lose his focus on the papers. The tower of papers began to spill over as Fox lost his balance trying to hold the paper. He fell to the ground as the paper began to fly all around him. Most of the class began to laugh after a couple seconds, but Serenity, who was the only one who wasn't laughing, went over and helped Fox with the packets that the class was to do later. Fox got back up and began to pick up the papers back into a neat stack.
"Well, that's a bad start for a first day as a teacher," Mr. Bernard said.
"That's fine. I've had worse days," Fox responded.
"Okay class. As soon as they're done, we'll be starting a lesson that involves with those packets," Mr. Bernard said.
Serenity and Fox finished picking up the papers as the class began to moan about the packets. She went back to her assumed seat as they were also assigned a seating chart. Ironically, only 4 people out of the 24 had to move. Yugi and his friends were actually still together as one whole.
"Today, I would like to begin with the criteria of this course," Mr. Bernard stated. "Today, we'll be starting on the physical laws of science; then, we'll be starting a single semester project that you have the rest of the time to do."
The whole class began to moan about the project that they have the whole tri to do, which they don't like. They assumed it's something that they're assigned to do, but they haven't gotten the details yet. Fox went to the front and began to state what they were to do on the project.
"This project isn't as bad as you think," Fox began, "Depending on your working quality, you can make anything according to the following rules: No firearms such as pistols, M-16's, etc.; no explosives such as grenades, C-4's, etc.; anything physically, electronically, or mechanically advanced; and if you do an awesome job that we would be impressed, there's extra credit available. Also, if there's something extremely dangerous for an inexperienced person that can't be done, then ask me to help."
The class began to be more intrigued with the assignment, probably more with the extra credit than the assignment. The teacher got out of his seat and announced something else.
"But that doesn't leave you off the hook with participation and homework points," Mr. Bernard said.
Skipping a few hours, lunch ended as Yugi and friends were in the same lunches. Serenity and Joey were at their lockers as they were going to their next class.
"So what's your next class, Joey?" Serenity asked.
"Well, it's a mechanics shop, so that'll be fun," Joey responded.
"Okay, I have to head to the gym for self-defense," Serenity said.
As Joey left, she went to her locker and put a few folders in it. She began to overhear some girls talking. One of them had a slim build with blonde, wavy hair extending down to her elbows. She was about Joey's height and she overheard her name was Maya. Another had an average build with short, green hair that went to her shoulders, same height, name was Wendy. The third had a heavy build with brown hair and ponytails going out from each side, slightly shorter than the other two, name was Kim. The girls stopped in front of Serenity's locker and stared her in the eyes.
"Well, like, if it isn't another nerd?" Maya said.
"Yeah, like, this nerd is like geeky lookin'," Wendy said.
"I like must agree because she's, like, a weak person," Kim said.
"Um…if you'll excuse me, I have to get going to class now," Serenity said.
She began to walk, but Kim slammed her fist against one of the lockers, leaving a dent in the small locker bin. Serenity had her back against the locker, not knowing where to go. She was about to attempt to crawl underneath them till something stopped them.
"Hey, why don't you leave her alone and pick someone of your own size?"
Serenity heard the voice, but couldn't recognize who it was. She knew it was a feminine voice with a small amount of a tomboyish accent, but unrecognizable among the people she knew.
"You're, like, defending this nerd?" Wendy sneered.
"Well, if you think you can harass someone else smaller than you, then you're very wrong. You'd have to do that over my dead body."
"Well, you, like, act so tough, but I bet you, like, are weak on the inside," Maya said.
As Serenity looked over, she could see that she had a somewhat slim build with purple, ridged hair that went down to her shoulder blades and was about 5 inches taller than Serenity. She had a stern look in her deep purple eyes, but she can tell that she seems to be alone or something close to that. She definitely didn't know her name, but the way she acted, she was definitely a tomboy. She doesn't know for sure if she's doing this because she has a grudge against them, but Serenity doesn't mind it just as long as she can get out of this.
"Well, you're, like, outnumbered, you girly whiner," Kim mocked.
The girl began to be agitated by the comment, appearing to be ready to throw a punch at them. She began to calm down and began to stare them in the eye with a cold glare.
"Hmph, you're, like, stupid enough to think you can take us," Maya said.
"I can beat all three of you within a blink of an eye, so don't think of anything stupid."
The three girls left laughing, leaving Serenity paralyzed. The girl leaned over and offered a hand to get up. Serenity grasped her hand and got back up on her feet.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, thanks," Serenity said.
She began to walk down the hall as Serenity did so as well. She looked at her and saw that she was going down the same halls as she was.
"So…where are you going?"
"Me? I'm heading for the self-defense hall," she said.
"You are? That's where I'm going too!" Serenity responded.
"Well, that's nice."
"Say, by the way, what's your name?"
The new girl was hesitant, but she spoke up, giving Serenity her name.
"Lisa. Lisa Yander."
"Heh, that's a nice name."
Lisa began to cheer up a little as they talked a little more before they got to the gym door. Lisa opened it up and Serenity noticed two other people in the class.
"Yugi; Bakura!"
"Hey, Serenity," Yugi responded.
"Huh? They're your friends?" Lisa asked.
"Yeah. Yugi's the one who won the Duelist Kingdom Tournament as well as the Battle City Tournament," Serenity explained. "Bakura's a friend of ours, but I barely know him."
"Well, then I assume she's your new friend?" Bakura asked.
"Yeah, we met in the hall earlier," Serenity responded.
A few seconds after, the door opened and the class sat down on the floor, except for Lisa. A cornerian came in as he wore a similar military suit Fox wore, but with a slight different style.
"Good afternoon class," Falco said.
"Good afternoon Mr. Lombardi," the class responded in unison.
"Today, I-"
As he was explaining the criteria, Fox abruptly came in. He had a number of boxes with supplies that they were going to use through the course of the trimester.
"Okay…if you had him in your science class with Mr. Bernard, then you should know him," Falco explained.
"My name is Fox McCloud, and I'm also an assistant teacher in this class for the rest of the day."
"Well, now that we have that out of our way, we would also like to greet you with a student teacher," Falco explained.
Lisa came to the front, or where Falco was standing, and began to introduce herself.
"My name is Lisa Yander. I came to Domino as a transfer student from Tokyo, Japan. Why I decided to be a student teacher is because I want to help run a Tae-Kwon-Do dojo some day since I'm a Tae-Kwon-Do black belt and that I enjoy helping others."
One of the students stood up and asked, "Are you that good?"
"Yes, I've actually been a black belt for about 2 years now," Lisa responded.
Everyone was in awe with what she said as she was going back to sit down as she said her peace.
"Well, does anyone have questions for us?" Falco asked.
"Are you both Tae-Kwon-Do black belts?"
"No," Falco and Fox responded in unison.
"Then what are you?"
Falco was hesitant at first, but he gave him an answer to the student's question. "Tae-Kwon-Do black belt."
The same student stood up and began to complain. "What do you mean? You both said you weren't Tae-Kwon-Do black belts!"
"Well, technically, you asked if they both were Tae-Kwon-Do black belts," Serenity rebutted.
"What?"
"You asked if they both were. If you would've asked if one of them was, then you would've gotten a 'yes', but you asked if both were Tae-Kwon-Do black belts." Bakura explained.
"Then what are you, Fox? Karate black belt, Tae Bo black belt, Kung Fu black belt?"
"Jujitsu black belt," Fox responded.
Everyone sat there with gaping mouths as he said that. No one would expect him to be a Jujitsu black belt.
"Doesn't that have the most dangerous techniques?" Yugi asked.
"I don't know if that applies for here, but back in our home world, it's actually very lethal," Fox explained.
The day was dragging on as the classes seemed long since it's the first day. The last bell rang as the end of the day came to. Serenity went out in front and said good-bye to Lisa as she was heading off in a different direction. She then saw Joey behind her as she turned around.
"Oh, hey Joey," Serenity said.
"Meet a new friend already?" Joey asked.
"Yeah, her name is Lisa Yander."
"Heh, never heard of her, but how did you two meet?"
"Um…three girls were bullying me and she helped me out of it."
"Don't tell me. Maya, Wendy, and Kim?"
"Hey, how'd you know?"
"Yug's been bullied by them before and I helped him out last year. They're known as to be the school's female bullies."
Joey and Serenity began to walk off as the day finally ended.
Back at the school, a lonely Fox sat in his truck as he was thinking about someone. That someone was the same person in that picture in his wallet.
Yes, I know the name kinda sucks, but it's the first thing that comes to mind. She is only a fan made character. Yes, I know it doesn't make full sense for Fox to have a younger sister, but who cares? I like that kind of family relationship for some reason. Stay tuned...I believe action is in the next fic.
