Woah, reviews! O.o Thankies for my reviewers! Hope this chapter isn't too bad. XD

Disclaimer: If I owned GX, all of my twisted ideas might actually end up happening. Which would suck. I guess.

Warnings: OOCness, dub names, and cursing (especially on Chazz's part). Also, I don't have spellcheck. Bear with me if I spell something wrong, I really try not to misspell things.

Chapter 2: Sneaking

Atticus Rhodes awoke suddenly in his lush bed. Not because he'd been having a bad dream, or because the thunder outside had woken him up, but because there appeared to be a large knife at his throat. And we're talking "butcher knife" big.

"What the-" Atticus began before lightning flashed through the room, illuminating the person holding the knife. "Hey, who are-"

"I'LL MURDER YOU, ATTICUS!" the person shrieked.

"...Do I know you, Miss?"

The knife flashed, and Atticus barely jerked out of the way. Sadly, his favorite silky pillow was ripped.

"Hey, you can't just come in here and-" Atticus began coldly before the knife came back down again. Atticus flinched, realizing that the knife was aimed at his chest, and it was falling too fast to jerk from (that and the fact that the girl had a very tight grip on his throat).

The knife froze, millimeters from Atticus' chest.

"Yes. I can. Talk. Now," the girl snapped.

Atticus held up his hands. "About - about what, exactly?"

The girl leaned back and spread out her arms. "LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO ME!" She held up her hair. "It's a goddamn pompadour!"

Atticus whimpered. "I don't even know who you are!"

"Stop playing stupid!" the girl shrieked.

"Atticus, man, go to sleep," one of Atticus' roommates muttered.

"This girl is trying to kill me!" Atticus wailed.

"What girl isn't?"

Atticus made a mental note to beat his roommate to death. Later. "Can we take this outside before we wake the whole Academy?" he suggested.

"Fine," the girl spat, shoving the knife's tip into Atticus' back. "Quickly. And don't yell, I don't want you to attract anybody. Especially not Crowler. If you make any sudden moves, I'll be forced to shove this knife through your kidneys. And right about now, that sounds like the best damn idea in the world, so don't test me."

The two walked silently along the path leading from the Obelisk Blue dorms. They followed the road until they reached the forest. At the sharp nudge of the knife in his back, Atticus lead the way through the forest until they reached a spot far enough away from the school so they wouldn't be heard.

"Okay," Atticus said, holding his hands up again. "We're alone. Who are you and what do you want?"

"I'LL KILL YOU, YOU FUCKING BASTARD!" the girl yelled at the top of her lungs. "LOOK AT ME! I'M A GIRL! DAMN IT! IF YOU WEREN'T ALEXIS' BROTHER, I'D HAVE KILLED YOU DEAD FASTER THAN - THAN-" She faltered. Faster than what? "Faster than... I'd have killed you, THAT'S for damn sure!"

"...Chazz?" Atticus said incredulously, peering at the outraged girl. "What happened?"

"WHY ARE YOU PRETENDING NOT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED?" the girl - Chazz - yelled, stabbing Atticus in the chest with her finger after every syllable. "YOU did this to me, you half-assed bastardly shit headed dick-cutting... fucktard!"

"Hey, let's calm down, Chazz," Atticus said, patting Chazz's arm.

"Don't touch me!" Chazz snapped, shoving Atticus' arm away. "Explain this, NOW."

"I didn't do it, Chazz," Atticus said, his eyes wide. "When I suggested you get a sex change, I was only kidding. Honest."

"Bullshit," Chazz spat. "YOU lured me to the abandoned dorm with those lies that you'd get your sister there. After I got there, I saw a person in the room who looked quite a bit like you. Shortly thereafter, I was knocked unconscious. I woke up... like this. Who else knew I was going to the dorm, Atticus? Hmm?"

"I don't know!" Atticus said in exasperation. "Maybe someone overheard our conversation in the forest and thought it'd be funny?"

"Oh, TREMENDOUSLY funny," Chazz snarled. "Let's ALL go turning people into transsexuals, mmm? Sounds like ONE HELL OF A PARTY!" His voice rose to a high pitched shriek.

"Wow, whoever it was must have some serious skill with making the person sound different," Atticus commented. "Your voice is hardly recognizable."

With these words, Chazz burst into tears. Screw the fact that he was Chazz Princeton. He was now a girl. Girls cried all the time for no reason, right? It looked natural. Plus, wouldn't anyone cry if they'd been given a sex change without their permission?

"How the hell am I going to LIVE?" Chazz wailed. "I don't know how to be a girl!"

Atticus awkwardly rubbed Chazz's sobbing shoulders. "Well, who better to ask than the girls?"

Chazz looked up through tear-filled eyes. "You wouldn't. No. If you tell Alexis about this, that knife will be through your spine before you can blink."

"Okay, okay..." Atticus bit his lip. "Well... the sun's coming up. And you can't go around the Academy dressed in your old clothes, people will suspect something. We're going to have to make you an exchange student or something."

Chazz groaned. "Great, I have to stay in Slifer Red? With that annoying prick?"

"Sorry."

"No, you're not."

"Shush, I'm thinking."

Chazz sulked. "Better think fast, jerk."

"Okay, I got it," Atticus said after a few minutes. "We've got to sneak into the laundry."

Chazz snorted derisively. "You don't understand just how pathetic that sounded. Listen to yourself, 'we've got to sneak into the laundry.' The laundry, Atticus. It's a public laundry, there's no 'sneaking' involved."

"We have to get you some new clothes, right?" Atticus pressed. "It would be more fun to sneak in."

"You're a retard."

"So you've established."

"Another point. Won't this be, oh, I don't know... suspicious? An unexpected exchange student magically appears? And Chazz Princeton just vanishes without a trace?"

"Gotcha covered," Atticus said with a grin. "All we need is a piece of paper and a pen."

Chazz groaned again.

At seven o'clock that morning, Dr. Crowler looked skeptically at the new student application that had been in his mailbox. He got the annoyed feeling that the letter should have been given to Chancellor Sheppard instead of to him. The letter was written in familiar handwriting, but Crowler just couldn't put a finger on whose handwriting it was.

"Dear Dr. Crowler,

My name is Charlene Parkins. I am fifteen years old and am requesting permission to join Duel Academy. I have read many articles expressing praise for the school and its teachers, and I figured that it would be best to sharpen my dueling skills through your academy, as I wish to be a professional duelist someday. Please accept my application. Also, I am coming anyway, so it doesn't really matter if you disapprove. Cheers.

-Charlene"

He scowled, and jerked his frilly cuffs grumpily. "Great, another Slifer slacker..."

---

"Charlene?"

Atticus and Chazz had gotten into the public laundry. While he was picking an imaginary lock, Atticus filled Chazz in on the details about the application that he had hastily filled out and stuffed into a random teacher's mailbox.

"Yes, Chazz. Charlene."

"Charlene."

"Shh, someone will hear us."

"Charlene."

Atticus opened the door and peered around. "Two Slifers, one Ra, and two Obelisks."

Well, what a coincidence. The Slifers were Jaden and Syrus, the Ra was Bastion Misawa, and the Obelisks were Alexis and Zane.

"Oh shit," Chazz whimpered.

"Want to keep sneaking?" Atticus whispered cheerfully.

"I omniloathe you."

"I have no idea where he could be," Jaden was saying. "We've looked all over for him."

Zane pulled a uniform out of the nearest dryer and folded it neatly. "He couldn't have just vanished, right?"

Chazz and Atticus slipped behind a particularly large dryer and tiptoed toward the stock of spare Slifer uniforms. Chazz's foot caught on the cord, and he tripped forward, crashing into Atticus, who slammed into the dryer with a resounding crash. The group of five glanced up in alarm as a loud "SON OF A-" echoed through the room.

"Damn it," Chazz said, rubbing his foot. "I'll give that Slifer slacker three sec-"

"Hey! Who's there?" Jaden's annoying voice piped up loudly.

"-onds. Okay. RUN, ATTICUS!"

An arm came out of nowhere and grabbed Atticus' pajama shirt by the hem. Atticus stumbled, stopped, looked up, and recoiled at the sight of his sister, who looked furious.

"Er, hi Lexi."

"What are you doing?" Alexis demanded sharply. "And who are you?" She glared at Chazz.

"Cha-"

"Charlene," Atticus interrupted as Chazz scowled more. "I'm showing Charlene around."

Jaden popped up. "Hi, Charlene. You new? You'll be in MY dorm!"

"Lucky me," Chazz said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"I know, cool, huh?" Jaden said, oblivious to "Charlene's" tone. "I'm Jaden Yuki."

"I know," Chazz grumbled.

"Really?" Jaden laughed. "I bet Atticus told you all about how great a duelist I am, huh?"

"Sure," Chazz said through gritted teeth.

There was a long silence. Jaden grinned stupidly at Chazz, who couldn't have been less thrilled. Finally, Atticus elbowed Chazz in the ribs. "Say hi to Jaden, Charlene." He grinned. Then, in an undertone, "and would it kill you to smile for once?"

Chazz forced a smile, which was masked by venom. "Thrilled to meet you. Jaden." His eye twitched violently.

"Shake his hand," Atticus whispered in his ear.

Chazz reluctantly held out his hand. Jaden looked at it for a second before high-fiving it. Chazz resisted the urge to strangle the Slifer slacker. Oh, did he resist. It took all his willpower to pull his hand back and stand still as opposed to lunging at Jaden. He really wanted to lunge, you can probably imagine.

Then Syrus mentioned something that should have been obvious to the rest of them.

"Why are you wearing Chazz's clothes, Charlene?"

Chazz grimaced. "I know not this 'Chazz' of which you speak."

Atticus laughed brightly. "Of course you do, Charlene! Guys, Charlene is in love with Chazz-"

"That's it, I'm MURDERING you!" Chazz yelled. "Better pray for repentance now before you DIE, Atticus!"

Atticus was spared a gruesome death by none other than Professor Banner, who had come in to aid in the search for Chazz Princeton. "What is going on in here, students?" He stroked Pharaoh's head as he glanced over his students before his gaze lingered on Chazz.

"Banner!" Atticus looked as happy to see Banner as anyone who was about to be murdered could be. "Have you met the new girl, Charlene?"

Banner peered through his square glasses at "Charlene," and frowned slightly. "Charlene?"

Chazz bit his lip. "Uh, yeah. Charlene. That's my name..."

"Why are you wearing Chazz's clothes?" Banner asked, cocking his head. Pharaoh purred in agreement.

"..."

---

"You're in my dorm," Banner explained. He brought Chazz to the Slifer dorms while the rest went to Crowler's class. "Here're your clothes. I apologize, but you'll have to room alone. There aren't any Slifer girls aside from yourself. You'll start classes tomorrow, we have to finish filling out enrollment forms. It'll take a bit longer since we don't have your birth certificate."

"No problem," Chazz said. "Just keep Jaden Yuki away from me or I might strangle him."

Banner gave Chazz another suspicious glance before walking out of Chazz's room.

Chazz plopped on the bed and lifted up the Slifer uniform. "I thought I'd kill myself before wearing this piece of shit," he muttered. "Oh well..."

He stripped off his clothes and pulled the shirt over his head. The shirt was tight and didn't even cover his stomach. It made his implanted breasts look even larger than he'd thought they were. Grimacing, he pulled the skirt on next.

"Oh, hell."

It came up to mid-thigh. It made his butt look like a goddamn planet. Surely there was some sort of dress code against this? He glanced at the plain red shoes. Sighing, he pulled them on as well. They were narrow and tight.

"Screw Barbie. I hate being a girl."

There you go! Review. Please. I mean, would it KILL you to review? You've already read it, it would take you twenty seconds to tell me I'm insane. PLEASE! You've resorted me to BEGGING! Alright, also, if you go to my homepage on my profile, you'll see a REALLY bad-quality pic of Chazz in his Slifer Red uniform... as a girl. :D Of course, I mostly messed with a previous pic of Chazz that I found. And it was with MSPaint, so it's really horrendous. Especially the hair... XP but oh well. :D
