Going All The Way!

A/N; thank you to my first two reviewers! Thank you sooooooooooo much! I am very grateful! And thanks to two reviewers, Wolf-blades-wings and Qu-ko, I have been misspelling; Jaden, Chazz, and Zane. Qu-ko, you were a little harsh though.

Tasara and Chazz go at it in gym! It seems like the competitions between those two have began!

Bastian and Diana are becoming great friends and Bastian is making Diana feel better about herself. Is a good friend really what she needs right now?

For some reason Zane starts small talk with Zeta at the docks. Why does he always like to have a conversation with Zeta?

.:Chapter 3:.

The next morning in gym. . . . . . . . . .

Tasara was stretching after she changed into her gym uniform. She, Alexis, Jaden and Zane had gym together so she was a little unhappy about Zeta not being with her, but she was happy that it might be slightly more quiet since Zeta had Dr. Crowler's class. Zeta was very hyper and very loud.

"Hey, Tasara," Alexis said as she, Zane, and Jade walked over to her. She stopped stretching and smiled slightly.

"Oh, hey," Tasara said. She put her hair in a pony tail and Zane walked up to her.

"I have a favor to ask of you," Zane said.

"Sure," Tasara said, not really interested in what he wanted. "What do ya need?"

"Could you tell Zeta to meet me at the docks tonight after dinner?" he asked. Tasara looked at him like he was crazy. "I need to speak to her."

"What's the catch?" Tasara said.

"Catch?" Zane said. "What are you talking about?"

"Just looking out for my friend," Tasara said coldly. ". . . . .Sure. I'll tell her."

"Tank you," Zane said.

"Hey, do you, Diana, and Zeta wanna hang out with me and Sy later!" Jaden asked. "We can duel later! Get your game on!"

"I don't think so," Tasara said.

"Oh, no," Alexis said. She grabbed Tasara's shoulders and pushed her over to the other side of the gym. "Let's talk over here."

"What's wrong with you Alexis?" Tasara asked. Chazz was following them because he just wanted to set Tasara off again.

"Oh, Tasara!" Chazz shouted.

"I know that voice," Tasara said. She turned to see Chazz standing on the other side of the gym, where she was previous to Alexis making her move. "Chazz, you jerk! Get over here!"

"You get over here!" he shouted. Zane frowned at their foolishness. They were going to waste their energy fighting before class even started. Alexis pulled Tasara back before she would go over and try to kill Chazz again.

"Now, now," Alexis said. "Let's be calm."

"Good morning!" said the teacher. "Now today we are going to do some running exercises! Now, let's start with a five minute sprint around the gym. Go!" Chazz and Tasara were off right after she said 'go!'.

"Hey, wait up!" Jaden shouted. "I wanna race too!"

"Jaden, don't get in the middle!" Alexis shouted, chancing after her friends.

"When will Tasara and Chazz stop fighting?" Zane asked himself. He then started to run after Alexis who was running after Jaden who was trying to catch up to Tasara and Chazz.

Near the Slypher dorm. . . . . . . . . .

"Hm," Diana said, looking at her sketch of the ocean. "That's as good as it's going to get, I suppose. It's not like I gave get every wave." She placed her pencil in her small box and took out her paint brush and paints. She was sitting on a large rock that was looking out at the ocean and she had her paper on her lap. She started to paint when she felt something furry rub against her back.

"What the-?" she said. She turned to see a chubby yellow cat with dark strips. "Where did you come from?" The cat purred and sat down next to her, rubbing his head on her thigh.

"Aren't you just the cutest cat I've ever seen," she said patting him on the head. She got back to her painting and looked at the ocean again. "There are so many things to paint around here. At some point I'd like to paint people rather than sceneries. I mean they are beautiful, but people are beautiful to. Believe me on that. I meant someone who is very beautiful. Not just in the face, but in the soul to. I would. . . .one day. . . .I would like to paint him. I wouldn't take a picture with a camera because then you only take a picture of what you see through a lense which is only appearance. I would like to paint what I see rather than I what I see through a lense." The cat meowed again.

Back at gym. . . . . . . . .

Tasara and Chazz fell over gasping for air.

"I (huff) beat you," Tasara said.

"No (gasp) you didn't (huff)," Chazz said. "I beat you by a foot (huff)."

"You good-for-nothing tyrant (cough)," Tasara said. "I so beat you."

"Alright everyone," said their teacher. "Now we are going to play tennis! Get with a partner and you can choose who your going against, but you also need to get a ref. Go."

"Alexis, get over here," Tasara said. Alexis walked over to her. "You're my partner." Zane was about to walk away when Chazz grabbed his shirt collar.

"Zane is my partner then!" Chazz shouted. "Jaden, you're the ref! Deal with it!"

"O-Okay," Jaden said. "Chill out." They all got over to a court and started to play.

At the Slypher dorm. . . . . . . .

"Thanks, Professor," Bastian said walking out of the Slypher dorm.

"No problem, Bastian," said Professor Banner. "It was my pleaser to help you. Oh, and if you see Pharaoh can you return him to me?"

"Sure," Bastian said. "See ya."

"See you in class," Professor Banner said closing the door. Bastian was going to head back to his dorm to work on some more dueling formulas when he saw Diana.

"Now why would she be here at this time of day?" he asked himself. He got close enough so he could hear what she was saying, but far enough so she couldn't see him.

"I doubt you ever had to worry about going somewhere you didn't want to," Diana said to the cat. The cat rubbed it head against her leg again. "My father forced me to go to places I didn't want to go. And when my mother stood up for me they would get into fights and sometimes it would get so violent that they would hurt each other. My brother and I used to lock ourselves in our rooms until the fighting stopped. That could have lasted hours until they would stop. That's when I met Tasara and Zeta. We were all having family problems at that time. Zeta's parents were going to be divorced and Tasara's parents hated Tasara so she was abused most of the time. She was sent to live with her aunt after that. It's not that I hate being here, but-."

"You just feel like you should be somewhere else."

"Hm?" she turned to see Bastian coming towards her. "What are you doing here?"

"I heard everything," Bastian said. "And to tell you the truth, if you look at Tasara, Zeta, and yourself you would think that all three of you lived normal lives."

"Sadness has many masks," Diana said. "Tasara hides hers through anger, Zeta hides hers through happiness, and I hide mine through shyness."

"You remember Chazz?"

"Yeah."

"Well, his brothers Jagger and Lane were breathing down his neck. To them, he was only a pawn in their plan to be the best in the world. Syrus thought his brother Zane had gotten the talent and he only got the looks." Diana giggled.

"Sometimes it seems like I'm the only one suffering," Diana said still laughing a little. She continued to paint and Bastian climbed onto the rock and sat next to her.

Back at the gym. . . . . . . . .

"Take a break gyms," Jaden said. "Tasara is beating you guys by twelve. Just take a little break so Chazz and Zane can catch their breath."

"I didn't even get to hit the ball," Alexis said.

"Then be quicker, genius," Tasara growled. "Had enough Chazz?"

"No way am I gonna let you win!" Chazz shouted. "Zane, are you ready."

"Just serve," Zane said.

"One serving thirteen," Chazz said. He hit the ball and Tasara hit it back. Zane hit it, Alexis finally got to hit the ball, Chazz hit it again, but Tasara hit it over the net and it landed on the boys side of the court. "OH COME ON!"

"HA!" Tasara said. "GYM IS OVER AND I BEAT YOU FAR AND SQUARE YOU BAKA!"

"STOP CALLING ME THAT!"

"MAKE ME!" Tasara shouted. Alexis dragged Tasara to the girls changing room and Zane and Jaden dragged Chazz to the boys changing room.

"You have to stop this," Zane said.

"Yeah," Jaden said. "Take a pill of the chill variety, Chazz."

"I can't let that blue haired, short tempered, good-for-nothing, bad excuse for a duelist beat me in any competition!" Chazz argued.

"Just don't hurt yourself," Zane said.

Back at the rock. . . . . . . . . . .

"Done," Diana said happily as she signed it at the bottom.

"That is very well done," Bastian said. "You really captured the colors of the ocean and of the sun."

"I'm glad you like it," Diana replied. Bastian smiled and she handed it to him. "Because it's yours."

"For me?" he asked.

"Sure," Diana said. "There are so many things to paint here and this is only one of them. Besides, this can be my thank you to you."

"Thank you?" he asked. "What is there to thank me for?"

"You made me feel matter the other day and you are here with me now once again, making me happy," Diana stated. "You deserve this."

"Thank you very much," Bastian thanked. "I will frame it and hang it up on my wall." Diana smiled.

"There you are Pharaoh!"

"Huh?" Diana and Bastian saw Professor Banner coming their way.

"Oh, this cat is yours, Professor?" she asked.

"Yes," Professor Banner said with a smile. "His name is Pharaoh."

"He's really adorable," Diana said handing Pharaoh to her teacher. He held his cat and smiled.

With Zeta. . . . . . . . .

Zeta walked out of the classroom and yawned. She walked down the hall and yawned again. She almost fell asleep in Dr. Crowler's class, but his face gave her nightmares.

"Can he be anymore boring?" she asked herself. "Or anymore scary?"

"Hey!" Tasara shouted. Zeta turned to face Tasara walking towards her with Alexis walking next to her.

"Hi guys!" Zeta said. "How was gym?"

"Okay," Alexis said.

"I beat that tyrant in a game of tennis," Tasara said with a smirk. "He is a pathetic excuse for a Obelisk student." Zeta rolled her eyes, but giggled at her friends disgust for Chazz. "Oh, and Zane told me to tell you to meet him at the docks tonight after dinner."

"Oh, I wander what he wants?" she said.

"I bet he just wants to ask you a few questions," Alexis said. "He's always like that. Now, Tasara and I are off to Professor Banner's class."

"Me to!" Zeta said. "Come on!" Tasara followed her two smiling friends down the hallway to their next class.

After dinner ((Zane's POV)). . . . . . . .

It was at her duel test that I saw her. She seemed like a powerful duelist, but seeing her with her friends she is like a completely different person. In her duels she is serious, but around her friends she is so happy. I don't know why, but talking to her makes me feel happy.

I heard someone coming towards me, but at first ignored it. I told Alexis not to meet me here today since I wanted to talk to Zeta in private. If it was Alexis I would have to turn her away.

"Zane?"

"Hn?" I looked at Zeta who was coming towards me. "Zeta, you came. Good."

"What did you want to talk to me about?" she asked me. "I was kinda surprised when Tasara told me that you wanted to speak to me."

"I was a little concerned about your friend Diana," I said. "Is she okay?"

"Yes," she said. "She is better now. She told me that Bastian has made her feel better every time she is feeling down. I was glad to hear that."

"Good," I said. "Are you liking it here at the academy?"

"Did you ask me to come here just for small talk?" she questioned.

"I haven't talked to you since the other day and. . . I enjoy talking to you," I said. I faced her and she smiled.

"I enjoy talking to you too, Zane," she said. "You are a very interesting person to talk to, but one of these days I would like to duel you and see if all the talk about your deck and your skills are true."

"Likewise," I said. "I hear that toon monsters are strong and hard to beat, but we will see if that talk is true."

"We shall see very soon," Zeta said. "Very, very soon."

Hmm? It seems like Zane and Zeta are becoming good friends just as well as Diana and Bastian! Let's just hope Chazz and Tasara don't kill each other before the end of the year. In the next chapter:

Tasara and Chazz get themselves, Diana, Zeta, Jaden, Sy, Alexis, and Zane into detention with Dr. Crowler and he's making them do extra worksheets and stuff. When he leaves Zeta and Tasara think it'll be fun to have a little duel! Kinda pointless, but it'll be funny!

Wanna be in this fic! I hope so! All I need is:

your name, deck type, signature card(s), what dorm your in (ra, obelisk, slypher), and a physical description! Who knows! You could be in the next chappie! PLEASE REVIEW!
