SF4E: "Oh no... I have to make more OC's... this is not going to be good."
Izzaliza: "What the heck are you listening to?"
SF4E: "Amish Paridise by Weird Al."
Izzaliza: cocks eyebrow "You're weird."
SF4E: "I know. Hey, I loved the reviews! I'm saving them on my floppy disc (I have two computers. One I type at, the other has the internet. I use the floppy to transfer information between them) and checking them out for chapter ideas and help. And also, Divine Child, I made up one of Tyranno and Phoebe's kids. Her name is Raven and she's exactly like Tyranno, personality wise, and inu-yusukekaiba102 gave me the idea to have a rivalry between her and Antaria over who trys to go and win Jalen's heart. They are TWENTY TIMES WORSE than Syrus and Tyranno fighting over the best friend thing."
Izzaliza: flustered "Now what are you listening to?"
SF4E: "Time of Your Life by Greenday."
Izzaliza: "Answer my question wacko. Did Jaden and Syrus stay friends after Duel Academy?"
SF4E: "Okay, Syrus and Jaden stayed friends for a few years, but then their careers got in the way. When Antaria was 5, Alexis was her ballet teacher for a few months. Jalen and Antaria went to different schools. Jalen a normal middle school, Antaria the prep school required for Obelisk Blue. (The one Tyranno didn't attend...) And also, Kiara and Michael are not related, they're neighbors and friends and have been for years. But pretty much everyone else is related somehow. Maybe I can ask Eyealon to make an OC for her character..."
Izzaliza: "My brain hurts now!" anime confusion swirls
SF4E: "And onto the fanfic! I'm glad I have reviews. Reviews make me happy..."
Izzaliza: "Can I say the disclaimer?"
SF4E: "Only if you promise to update! I wanna see what happens in your fic badly!"
Izzaliza: Disclaimer: SF4E doesn't own YGO GX, only this story and basically all the OC's. And she doesn't own any songs she may mention either. Because she's weird and likes music too much...
SF4E: "Thank you, Izzaliza, for that wonderful comment."
Izzaliza: "I heard Atilea typed the last chapter of 'A Crush I Have'.
SF4E: twitch "Fanfic time!"

Chapter II
The Prince, the Raven, and the Butterfly
Duel Academy: The Main Building
"Oof! Michael!" Antaria exclaimed, she tripped over his luggage, falling flat on her face. "Ouch."
"Are you okay?" Kiara immediatly said, pulling Antaria to her feet.
"Yes." Antaria muttered, Michael and Eyealon were laughing. "It's not that funny!"
"Hey, it's Jalen." Eyealon said a second later.
"Do I look okay?" Antaria whispered to Kiara quickly.
"Perfect." Kiara said, giggling to herself.
"Hey guys." Jalen said brightly. He spotted a smudge of dirt on Antaria's cheek. "Uh... Antaria."
"Yes?" she said quickly.
"You have dirt on your face." he replied, Antaria's cheeks turned pink. "Let me get it."
Jaden brushed it off. As soon as his hand touched her face, Antaria's pulse quickened and her face turned even more red. He looked at her oddly and she looked away and at Eyealon's luggage.
"She's as shy as a butterfly." Jalen thought softly. "And as beautiful as one... Not again Jay! Stop that!"
"Well, let's go to orientation." Michael said smiling.
"After we pick up our uniforms." Eyealon reminded them.
They made their way to the uniform pick-up area. Jalen was first, he stepped up and was handed four black and red uniforms! Michael heard Kiara and Antaria gasp. Eyealon looked completly confused. Jalen only grinned as he checked out his new CPDA. (Cellphone-PDA).
"Sweet, just like my dad!" he exclaimed.
"Antaria Truesdale?" said one of the women.
Antaria stepped up and took four Obelisk Blue uniforms quite different from the original ones and her CPDA. Eyealon recived four Regular Obelisk Blue ones along with Michael. Kiara recieved her four Ra Yellow ones gratefully. The gang then went into seperate rooms to change before orientation, frowns on Kiara's and Antaria's faces.
Girls' Locker Room: (I'm just calling it that... Don't kill me!)
"Ra!" Antaria said in surprise. "Kiara, you deserve better than Ra!"
"I know, but I didn't attend the prep school." Kiara said quietly. "Like you, Eyealon, and Michael."
Kiara finished changing into the white and yellow knee high boots, mid-thigh yellow skirt, and white and yellow girls top. Her dark wavy hair was pulled back with a pale yellow ribbon that had belonged to Viola, her mother.
"Eyealon, how come our uniforms are different?" Antaria demanded as she looked at her uniform and Eyealon's.
"Oh... um... Obelisk girls with higher written exam grades have slightly different uniforms." Eyealon said, her face turning red.
Eyealon was wearing a white and dark blue blazer with a white baby tee underneath, a black knee length skirt, and dark blue knee high boots. Her strawberry blonde bangs were being held back with clips and she smiled with her grey eyes. Antaria looked at her black blazer with dark blue trimmings, black tee shirt, dark blue knee high skirt with a black stripe down the sides, and knee high white boots with a jolt of nerves. Her amethyst eyes widening in confusion.
"Oh boy..." she muttered. "Now I really am like a butterfly."
"What?" Eyealon said puzzled.
"My nickname is Butterfly. I'm a dancer, I'm shy, I stick out..." Antaria explained. "But the one person I want to notice me only thinks of me as a friend."
"Jalen..." realized Eyealon,
"Huh?" Kiara squeaked and looked alarmed in surprise.
The Boys' Locker Room: (Ew! I don't wanna know what goes on in there!)
"Sweet! This rox my sox!" Jalen exclaimed as he finished changing.
His uniform was a red blazer with black trimmings with a dark red tee shirt, white pants, and Slifer Sneakers. Jalen grinned at Michael, his only male friend so far. Michael was wearing the original Obelisk Blue uniform and frowning.
"Three Obelisks, one Ra, and one Slifer..." he muttered. "How strange."
"Hey, Michael?" Jalen said suddenly.
"Yeah?" Michael replied.
"Do you like Kiara?" Jalen asked curiously.
"What makes you ask that?" Michael asked, his face turning red from embarrassment.
"Nothing. I just had a feeling..." Jalen replied shrugging.
"Jalen, if I tell you this, you have to promise not to tell anyone else." Michael said slowly.
"Sure." Jalen said truthfully. "You're my only guy friend."
"Uh... yeah." Michael replied.
"Yeah what?" Jalen said confused.
"Yes, I like Kiara." Michael said, his face scarlet. "I've liked her for a couple of years now."
"She's cute." commented Jalen. "And nice."
"Yeah." Michael agreed. He then looked at Jalen. "What about Antaria? What do you think of her?"
"Uh... she's pretty." replied Jalen akwardly. "And sweet."
"I knew it! You like her!" Michael said excited, recognizing the akwardness in Jalen's voice. "You have to admit it!"
"Fine! Just keep your big mouth shut, Wolfenstein!" Jalen cried out in horror.
"Wolfenstein! You little-" Michael said, making a grab for Jalen, who dodged him and ran out of the locker room.
After Freshman Orientation: The Woods
"We're going to escort you to your dorms." Michael explained as Kiara opened her mouth, to ask why Michael and Jalen were still following the girls. "We have to cross the Main Bridge at the West River."
"Geez, this thing is heavy." Antaria muttered. She pulled her suitcase behind her. "What the heck did my mom pack in here?"
"Your mom packed your stuff?" Jalen said surprised, Antaria blushed.
"Oh no!" she exclaimed as the catch came undone, all of her belongings fell to the ground.
"Antaria!" Eyealon said, she stooped down to help, but Jalen stopped her.
"You guys go ahead. I'll stay here and help Antaria." he said quietly.
No one protested. Kiara, Michael, and Eyealon left the two teens picking up Antaria's belongings. Jalen turned red when he came across a very battered teddybear with an eye missing. He picked it up and Antaria turned around, turning red herself. She snatched the teddybear out of his hand and held it close to herself, anger in her amethyst eyes.
"Don't touch my Mr. Fuzzibear!" she ordered angry.
"I'm sorry." Jalen said hastily. "I didn't mean too."
"Just leave me alone!" Antaria snapped, she sat on her knees and stroked her bear's head. Whispering to it. "It's okay... I'm here... No one's going to hurt us... no one's going to take you away."
"Antaria, are you okay?" Jalen asked, he sat down in front of her, Antaria's eyes looking only at the bear in her hands and she began to shake. Tears rolling rapidly down her face. Jalen tilted her chin up and she looked terrified. "Hey, what's wrong?"
"I miss my mommy and daddy!" Antaria sobbed. "I want to go home and stay there! I want to be with my mom and dad!"
"You're homesick?" Jalen said softly, Antaria nodded. "Hey, I am too, but we can't just lose it. We need to toughen up a little."
"You're homesick t-too?" Antaria hicupped surprised.
Jalen nodded and she seemed to feel better.
"I'm sorry I snapped at you." she said softly. "I'm just worried about my mom. She hasn't been very well lately."
"That was weird." Jalen thought as they continued putting Antaria's things back in the suitcase. "One minute, Antaria's acting fifteen. The next, she's acting like a lost little girl... is it possible that there are two Antaria's? Or is it just worry?"
"I can't believe I lost it like that." Antaria thought bitterly. "Why do I have to go blubbering like a baby in front of Jalen? It's not his fault that my mom's not as well as she can be. It's not his fault he found Mr. Fuzzibear... Why am I so scared to be away from my parents? Why am I so weird? What's wrong with me?"
You're pure of heart... a voice inside Antaria told her.
"Are you feeling better?" Jalen asked quietly when they were on their way again.
"Yes." Antaria whispered, she had refused to put Mr. Fuzzibear back in the suitcase and was carrying him.
"Hey, I don't think you're crazy or anything." Jalen said, reading the look on her face. "Just upset. I hope your mom gets better."
"Thank you." Antaria returned, she smiled at him. "I guess I'm still in shock."
"Let's get you to your dorm. Some rest might help." Jalen suggested.
The Main Bridge: The West River
"Look who we have here." a very exotic/pretty girl smirked. Antaria and Jalen stopped short, letting go of their luggage at the edge of the path. The girl looked at Jalen and Antaria, she spotted Mr. Fuzzibear. "A Cutie and a Baby."
"What do you want?" Antaria demanded, her voice small and scared.
"How about you wait and see." the girl continued, she nodded at something or someone. Antaria felt someone swipe her bear from her grasp. She let out an exasperated cry and looked around horrified, looking back up at the girl. "Good work."
A group of Ra Yellow girls were standing around the girl, who's forest green eyes stared at Antaria with glee. One of the girls was holding Mr. Fuzzibear in the air, a huge smirk on her face. The leader of the girls had tanned skin, forest green eyes, and ebony black hair that stopped at her shoulders, pulled into two braids. She was wearing a Dinosaur Bandanna and a Ra Yellow Girls top with khaki capri pants and black boots. Around her neck was an indian necklace. Her arms were crossed.
"How about we watch you squirm." she said cruely, Antaria's amethyst eyes widened in horror as the girl seized Mr. Fuzzibear. Jalen, finally coming to life, growled as he gritted his teeth and stepped forward. The girl froze as she looked into his golden brown eyes curiously. She then asked, "You have something to say?"
"Yeah, who are you?" Jalen exclaimed. "And let go of the bear!"
"Raven Hassleberry's the name." the girl said smugly, she then said bluntly. "And no. I want the Baby to beg for it."
"Jay, just let it go." Antaria said, her eyes filling with tears.
"No, I will not! Raven, I want you to give Antaria back her bear this instant!" Jalen said, coming to Antaria's defense.
Raven looked at her troupe, then at Jalen. She suddenly felt very confused. Why would this cute guy do so much for a big baby's teddybear? She then looked at Antaria, who was trying to calm herself down.
"Fine." Raven replied, she tossed the bear at Jalen. He caught it carefully. "Whatever. We'll get back at the Baby another time."
"Leave Butterfly alone!" Jalen said, he had no clue why he called her that.
"What did you call me?" Antaria asked the same time Raven asked, "What did you call her?"
"Butterfly. That's what she is and I won't let anyone hurt her." Jalen said, gritting his teeth harder.
"Jay... thank you." Antaria said, he handed her Mr. Fuzzibear and she hugged the bear tightly.
"Come on Troupe." Raven ordered, turning around. She looked over her shoulder. "This won't be the last time we meet."
"I bet it won't." said Jalen under his breath.
When Raven and her Troupe had left, Jalen rushed to Antaria and hugged her reassuringly. She didn't mind, she even joined in the hug and laughed. They retrieved their luggage and crossed the bridge. Joking around, trying to think of happier thoughts.
"Jay, I think you better carry...uh... you-know-who." Antaria said a second after they started for the Obelisk Dorms.
"Okay, no one will take him." Jalen agreed, taking Mr. Fuzzibear and tucking him tightly under his arm. "You're really protective over him, aren't you?"
"Of course. It was my dad's and I've always had it." Antaria replied, she then added bitterly. "Just like I've always had bullies..."
"How about this? I now officially make myself your personal body guard." Jalen said. "I'll be your knight in shining armor."
Antaria's face turned crimson, but she agreed. She was flattered that her friend would do so much to protect her... if only she could protect him somehow. The Prince of Games looked at the Butterfly next to him and smiled. The Raven slowly forgotten...

SF4E: "And that's the end of Chapter II!"
Izzaliza: "Oo! I just got the chapter name!"
SF4E: --'... Sweatdrop. "Go ahead..."
Izzaliza: "The Prince, the Raven, and the Butterfly refer to Jalen, Raven, and Antaria. The Prince of Games. Raven Hassleberry. And Antaria Truesdale aka Butterfly. LOL! ROFL! I love it!"
SF4E: "Now, you're just getting annoying."
Izzaliza: "I wonder if Raven likes Jalen..."
SF4E: --'... --'... --'... Triple Sweatdrop. "Yes, she does."
Izzaliza: "I wonder if her sibilings are as mean as her..."
SF4E: "Dunno. Divine Child needs to send me bios still."
Izzaliza: "Onto the next chappie! Just 5 or more Reviews! And one more thing, Antaria cries too much like her mom!"
SF4E: "Hullo! Emotionally Unstable! She's messed up too! Lay off!"
Izzaliza: "Sheesh! It was just my opinion!
SF4E: rolls eyes "I need new friends..."
