:3 Thank everyone for your reviews :D. After doing a course or two in English at college now, and looking back at what I have written on this story, it sounds so.. flat. I mean i see many places were I can describe a scene or mood better but I just use siple words, well after chapter 12 that's where I'll be picking up / or I hope I can i have no idea where I'm going with this story right now. I hope I don't cop out XD
Chapter 11: Got to set things right
Alexis and Zane were hanging out at the lighthouse (where they always are); they were standing on a balcony looking out to sea beyond the horizon. Zane was explaining the whole situation to Alexis, who as always, was a good a listener when Zane had something on his mind.
"Hmm I remember the Victorian School," Alexis said.
"Hmm you do?" Zane asked not looking away from his gaze at the water.
"Yes, I went there at one time," Alexis explained.
"Really?"
"Yes, it's a nice school and all but the girls there are all pretty snotty and stuck up. Also the school is poorly funded too so the quality of the dueling education sucked."
"Hmm maybe they have a purpose to be mad at us,"
"No way,"
"The principal went over to the Institute today. They deny having doing anything that we claim they did. The principal didn't want to cause any trouble so he just gave up. He didn't file an investigation to the police or anything. He doesn't like to take things to seriously"
"No way, are you serious? Is he insane? This is serious."
Zane nodded.
"That sucks, now we can't have school as normal for the next month, darn," Alexis grumbled.
"Hmm" Zane nodded again.
"Hey by any chance did you guys get the names of girls that got in," Alexis asked.
"Kaylee, Bliss and Jessica," Zane said blandly.
"What! Did you say Kaylee and Bliss!" Alexis exclaimed.
"Yes, do you know them?" Zane asked, a bit taken aback by Alexis's outburst
"Do I? Alexis and Bliss have been my enemies since I met them at the Institute! Grrr I knew that dude I saw with Jaden looked familiar, it was Kaylee all along! Except she cut her hair so I didn't recognize her immediately." Alexis grumbled.
"Hmm. I'm going back to my dorm. I'll see you later Alexis," Zane said as he walked away.
"Bye Zane," Alexis said leaning on the railing not even turning to watch Zane go.
"Those girls are going to pay for what they've done," Alexis thought out loud.
Eventually standing there by herself was getting boring and she wanted to return to her dorm. She was walking to where the boats were when she ran into Jaden who looked quite shocked when he noticed her.
"Hi Alexis," he said with a smile.
"Don't you hi me Jaden Yuki! Look what you and your buddies did! You guys screwed up big time," Alexis scolded putting both her hands on her hips.
"Ack sorry sorry, don't yell," Jaden winched.
"Hey where are your friends? You don't usually walk around by yourself," Alexis asked.
"Just wanted to clear my head a bit, and where are you going?"
"Me? I'm going back to my dorm," Alexis said making her way past Jaden.
"Here I'll walk with you," Jaden said following her.
"Are you crazy? To my dorm?"
"Well just by where the boats are sheesh, everyone is on my case today."
"Well they should be Jaden." Alexis huffed.
Jaden just ignored Alexis's comments but, they still discussed about what her and Zane were talking about earlier.
"So that's it? They're just going to forget the whole thing!" Jaden said in shock.
"Yup sadly,"
"That's horrible!
"Oh well nothing we can do now Jaden. Hey you girls there wait for me!" Alexis waved to some Obelisk girls getting ready to row back to their dorms.
"Anyways Jaden thanks for walking with me," Alexis thanked with bow.
"No problem Alexis," Jaden waved.
"You can all me Alex if you want." She smiled then went over the boat.
'Wow that's cool, she's actually letting me call her by her nickname' Jaden thought.
'However, I still can't believe it, they are just gunna let it slide like nothing happened? They've gotta be kidding me, I don't care what they say we gotta do something about this.' Suddenly, as Jaden was walking back to his dorm his Winged Kuriboh's spirit appeared beside him.
"Hey there buddy," Jaden smiled as his Kuriboh floated around him, offering some comfort.
"Aww man Alexis is right, we screwed up big time. Oh well, nothing we could do about it now. I wish there was someway we can sort this all out," Jaden said.
"Hey Jaden!" Someone called to him. His Kuriboh immediately disappeared.
"Oh hey Bastion!" Jaden said to him.
"Aw man I still can't believe what happened last night. I'm happy we didn't get expelled my parents would have killed me!" Bastion said as he walked along side Jaden.
"Yea," Jaden agreed.
"Anyways because of the 1 months suspension the school is going to have because of all of this mess, my parents are going to come in tomorrow and pick me up to take me home for awhile,"
"Wait, so you're going to the mainland tomorrow," Jaden asked in excitement.
"Um yeaa I am? What is it?"
"Is there by any chance I can get a lift?"
"Um, I guess it'll be okay?" Bastion said.
"I got this great idea! What if we go to the mainland and find that Victorian School and … and…"
"And do what?"
"We can sneak in and try and get our school's information back and maybe find out more about the Institute itself it," Jaden suggested excitedly.
"Are you insane man, and how do you suppose we do that? It's an all girls school,"
"Um… um well I'll figure that out when we get there. Please Bastion please, please" Jaden pleaded.
"Ug fine, maybe if we could get there maybe we can find Jessica and those other girls we can maybe get back at them,"
"Yeaa we were this close to winning the duel,"
"Yup, anyways I'm leaving tomorrow morning at 9:00am don't be late,"
"Right on man! I gotta go tell Syrus," Jaden said as waved to Bastion.
Bastion just shook his head. 'I have a bad feeling about this he thought,'
---
The moment Jaden returned to his dorm he told Syrus and Chumley of his plans; Chumley listened intently but Syrus wasn't so excited about.
"I'm not going," Syrus said as he sorted out his duel cards on his study desk, not even looking at Jaden.
"What do you mean you're not going!"
"Yea, besides here's our chance to go back to the mainland for awhile," Chumley said.
"Syrus is still mad at Bliss, I think he's afraid to face her," Jaden whispered in Chumley's ear.
"I heard that," Syrus twitched..
"Come on, you just have to. Trust me if you stay behind you're going to be wishing you came with us." Jaden said trying to change Syrus's mind.
Syrus didn't care what Jaden said he never wanted to see Bliss ever again or have anything to do with the Institute.
"Well ok Syrus suit yourself," Jaden shrugged giving up. "You coming Chumley?"
"Sure I haven't been back to mainland in awhile and, there's this restaurant there I always wanted to try out, yum,"
"Great but remember Chumley we are going on business," Jaden said rummaging through his dresser pulling out some spare clothes to pack.
"Right,"
Syrus just idly shuffled his cards around on the desk like he was busy, trying to ignore Jaden and his idea of trying to find the girls. 'I don't even wanna hear the word 'bliss' ever again' Syrus thought miserably.

The next day it was bright sunny and clear; a perfect day to take a boat trip.
"Hurry up Jaden we're going to leave without you!" Bastion called from a huge yacht.
Jaden almost didn't wake up to catch the ride with Bastion, neither did Chumley who moaned and grumbled for the entire morning.
"Yawn Jaden you didn't tell me it was this going to be this early," Chumley yawned sleepily but still trying to keep up behind Jaden who jogged towards Bastion.
"Sorry Chumley, but don't worry it'll be worth it,"
"I hope so yawn"
"Geez what took you so long Jaden?" Bastion asked a bit annoyed.
"Sorry man," Jaden chuckled nervously.
"Ok whatever," Bastion motioned the okay to whoever it was that was driving the yacht and they set sail to the mainland.
"So how long are you on the mainland for?"
"Not sure, until I get news from the school on when we have class and such, who knows plans might change before or maybe after a whole month. I just want to visit a few people to tell them how I'm doing and so forth," Bastion said munching on some potato chips.
The cool sea breeze blew through the boy's hair as the boat speed over the waters.
"Maybe I can see my parents, but they live more inland," Chumley said.
"What about you Jaden?"
"You know Bastion, I haven't thought about that," Jaden said casually putting his hands behind his head.
"Where are your parents Jaden?"
"Mom's dead and I'm not sure if my dad is in town," Jaden said bluntly.
Bastion and Chumley looked at each other for a brief, unsure of what to say to that.
"Sorry Jaden," Bastion said awkwardly
"Oh it's no problem, my mom died when I was really young so I don't remember; my dad is probably on some business trip somewhere. He's always traveling around the world" Jaden smiled.
Chumley and Bastion were silent for awhile before Bastion quickly changed the subject.
"So Jaden what's your brilliant plan when we get to this Victorian Institute?"
"I'm not exactly sure. The first thing is, that we see Kaylee and Jessica and talk to them,"
"What makes you think they'd want to see us," Chumley asked.
"Well they are our only connection to the Institute," Bastion said.
"Besides I want a rematch from Kaylee, the duel was totally unfair they liked ganged up on me," Jaden said angrily standing up. Suddenly the boat made a jump as it hit a huge wave, which sent Jaden falling on his but. Chumley and Bastion laughed at Jaden who just sheepish got up and laughed along. The trip didn't take long, before they knew it they had arrived at the mainland where they decided to go straight to the Victorian Institute. They were determined to find the girls, set things straight and make up for their mistakes.
