Ya all ready for this?! It's the return of the Gender Generation! Whoo! Alright, after that vacation and updating a new chapter after watching my new, favorite anime, it's time!

Disclaimer: Mage of Hope doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh series, only the OCs!


With the start of a fresh new school year, not a lot of things have changed ever since Jaden and her friends returned for their second years. The things that have changed however, were a bit of a twist on campus as it was no longer Sheppard who was Chancellor, but Crowler was promoted the temporary role of Chancellor, causing a bit of mishaps at the beginning of the school year.

Surprisingly, Crowler hasn't done any expelling for any Slifer Red students...yet. Still, now that Crowler was Chancellor, even if temporarily while Sheppard was on vacation, everyone was incredibly wary and were on their top, best behavior. Oh, and as an added bonus, a short French man named Bonaparte was now assuming the role of Vice-Chancellor and practically acted as Crowler's assistant.

Meanwhile, throughout the summer, Jaden was practically forced to get a new makeover for her new appearance. But with all things considered, her appearance wasn't so bad. She still wore the male Slifer Red uniform, but her hair was different, for it grew a little out of its short streak and more like a girlish short style hair, making her appearance more feminine. Plus, her bangs grew out a little and brought light to her bright and cute-looking chocolate-colored eyes, making her even more attractive in appearance.

Basically, she was now more feminine-looking than she was during her first year, and it was a good change in pace for her as well.

Now, she was challenged to a duel by a silver-haired freshman who politely went to her dorm room and requested a duel, hearing how famous she was all over campus. Naturally, Jaden eagerly accepted, and now the two of them were beginning to face off near the ocean on the rocky plains.

"Okay, new guy! Come at me with all you've got! It's game time, or as I would like to call it, get your game on!" replied Jaden cheerfully.

Meanwhile, observing from above the cliffs, Dorothy and Syrus were mere spectators wishing to see the duel. "Jaden...she's as cheerful as always, but must she start off with a duel in her second year?" questioned Dorothy.

"Well, you know Jaden, and her usual antics," sighed Syrus before continuing to glare down at the silver-haired freshman, hoping that if he stared hard enough, lasers might pop out of his eye sockets and burn him. "Whoever that guy is, he better not lay a hand on Jaden!"

Dorothy sighed and shook her head. "Young love...it's amazing what it can do to people."

"It'll be great, dueling you!" complimented the silver-haired freshman.

Putting on her duel disk, Jaden said, "Awww! That's sweet! Oh, and by the way, what's your name? Sorry, I forgot to ask you your name!"

"You can just call me A.P."

"Cool name!"

"Not as cool-no, not as beautiful as you are, Jaden," said Aster, winking at her.

Most girls would gush over and squeal at receiving such a compliment from a handsome teen like Aster, but Jaden, being oblivious to love as ever, only took the compliment like a friend instead of overreacting. "Thanks! You're pretty beautiful, too!"

Aster couldn't help but be annoyed. "You know, guys don't like being called beautiful."

"Oh! Sorry if I offended you!"

"It's cool. Heh, you're just as polite as you are beautiful!" Aster gave a bow of courtesy towards Jaden before standing up straight.

Syrus was clutching onto the grass with his fists, growing ever so close to ripping them out. 'URGE TO KILL...RISING...' He thought with his body trembling with anger.

Seeing a duel about to occur between A.P and Jaden, Alexis and Chazz walked up to Syrus and Dorothy, having pieced together what might have happened that lead to this event.

"I've never seen that guy around. I guess Jaden's dueling a freshman?" assumed Alexis.

"Figures that she'd be in the mood for dueling," said Chazz. "So, who's she dueling?"

"Well, he's anonymous, but he says his name is A.P.," replied Syrus. "And believe it or not, he's the one who challenged Jaden, not the other way around! But something's up about him..."

"Hey, you're right! He does seem familiar!" said Alexis.

"Yeah!" agreed Chazz.

Syrus sweatdropped. "Actually, I wasn't really talking about his looks. In fact, I think he's a bad guy!"

"What makes you say that? Syrus, you just met the guy so he can't be that bad," said Alexis.

"He was flirting with Jaden!" cried out Syrus, angrily tearing the grass from the ground. "I saw, I heard, I WAS THERE! He kept giving her compliments and continuing to call her beautiful and stuff like that!"

"What?!" yelled Chazz. "He can't do that! I'M supposed to do that!"

"...Yeah, right! As if you can do any better!"

"Hey! The reason I haven't is because Jaden's too stupid to realize who's in love with her or not! If she's so dumb about love, then obviously, she can't tell about flirting as well!"

"Don't call her dumb!"

Alexis and Dorothy rolled their eyes at the boys argument before turning back to the duel. "Boys."

"DUEL!"

- DUEL -

A.P. - 4000 LP

VS

Jaden - 4000 LP

"Since you're still a newbie at Duel Academy, I'll let you go first!" offered Jaden.

"Thank you very much," spoke A.P. before drawing his card.

"I wonder what sort of deck he has?" wondered Alexis.

Syrus and Chazz, who stopped fighting amongst themselves, returned back to watching the duel with interest. "Yeah, I'm kinda curious too! I hope this guy's not as bad as Chazz was when Jaden first beat him!"

"Hey, what was that?!" yelled Chazz, offended and insulted. "I'll have you know that I've gotten stronger throughout the summer, and if I can get strong, there's no way that a newbie like A.P. can't be-"

"I summon Ojama Yellow in Defense Mode!" shouted A.P., shocking Chazz. "And then, I'll end my turn!"

Ojama Yellow - (LIGHT/Beast) - LV2 - (0/1000)

"Awwww! Such a cute move!" awed Jaden. She knew thanks to Chazz's Duel Spirits that Ojama Yellow and his brothers were fun and cute, since they liked her and all, so she deemed them cute in return. Though, she couldn't really understand why they kept saying they would be her future brother-in-laws.

"Are you kidding me?!" exclaimed Chazz, both offended and feeling praised at the same time. Offended because A.P. down there used a weak move on his first turn, but praised because if A.P. used Ojama Yellow, a weak card nobody would even think of using besides Chazz, then A.P. must have been inspired by Chazz to place such a card in his deck.

"Well, ignoring Chazz aside," spoke Alexis. "That can't be all that A.P. has to offer. What's his plan?"

"To be honest, I don't think he has much of a plan," spoke Dorothy. "You see, this morning, he came up to me in the campus school shop, requesting for any cards. I only had a few card packs available, but he bought them anyways. New random cards placed into a deck! I told him he wouldn't win many duels if he had random cards in his deck, but then he told me it was only a temporary deck."

"What? So, he's just playing Jaden?" gasped Alexis.

"That's not even his real deck?!" shouted Chazz angrily. "Man, I really hate that guy now! And here, I thought someone was really inspired by my dueling style!"

"What style? I didn't even know you had any," pondered Syrus.

"I WILL CATASTRATE YOU, SY!"

Looking at her cards, Jaden knew the perfect wake-up call to show A.P. how to make a more effective move. "Alright, then! First, I activate the Spell, Double Summon, letting me Normal Summon twice, then I summon my cute and adorable White Magician Pikeru!~"

White Magician Pikeru - (LIGHT/Spellcaster) - LV2 - (1200/0)

Watching Jaden squeal over how cute her Monster was, A.P. was not impressed, but kept a calm expression on his face. 'What? And here I thought she was finally going to summon an Elemental Hero! Well, girls love cute things, so this is to be expected, but still...'

"Oh! But I'm not done yet! I use the effect of Double Summon to Normal Summon Elemental Hero Sparkman!"

Elemental Hero Sparkman - (LIGHT/Warrior) - LV4 - (1600/1400)

A.P's expression changed into a relieved one. 'Finally! So, Jaden's deck is a Hero deck, just as the rumors proclaimed. Not bad, but I'll see what other skills she has using her Hero deck.'

"Time to battle! Pikeru, attack Ojama Yellow!~"

Puffing her cheeks, Pikeru fired an orb of light at Ojama Yellow, taking him out with one blast and leaving the young Spellcaster quite satisfied.

"And now, attack him directly, Sparkman!" shouted Jaden.

Sparkman flew high in the air and unleashed sparks from his palms, electrifying A.P. as he took the hit head on.

A.P. - 2400 LP

Jaden - 4000 LP

"Yay! Okay, I end my turn!"

Smiling, A.P. rubbed the back of his head sheepishly as he laughed the pain off. "Whoa, you are pretty good, Jaden! I never expected you to be quite this good at all! Guess I've got a lot to learn when it comes to using Ojama Yellow!"

"Placing Ojama Yellow in Defense Mode wasn't a bad move," said Jaden. "But you should have done more on your part, like placed some facedowns to make the other person unsure whether to attack you or not. That way, you can be making bluffing tactics and when you find the right card, you can strike back!"

A.P. could have agreed more. "You're right. I'll remember that for next time. My turn!" 'As long as I keep her entertained, she's bound to reveal a lot of her usual dueling style and tactics to me. I just have to play along and continue pretending being a newbie.' "I'll place a card facedown and-"

A musical ringtone interrupted A.P.'s move, startling both duelists as A.P. took out his ringing phone. "What is it?" wondered Jaden.

"Don't worry! It's just my cell phone!" assured A.P., waving it in the air to prove it before answering his call. "Hello?"

"Why that little-! How dare he talk to his phone at a time like this!" shouted Chazz, irritated.

"Yeah! Now we have to wait for who knows how long until he finishes his call!" complained Syrus.

Jaden didn't seem to mind A.P. talking to his phone in the middle of their duel as she was lost in her own thoughts while whistling a low tune, looking up at the bright blue sky and patiently waiting for A.P. to finish.

A.P. was still talking to his phone, nodding back and forth to his caller. "Yes, I'm dueling her right now. Is there anything you needed to talk to me about?"

"...The Reaper of Death is in reverse. It's a card of rebirth."

Understanding his words, A.P. simply replied, "Yes, I understand. Well, I have to go." After hanging up, A.P. bowed his head apologetically to Jaden. "I'm sorry for the interruption."

"Huh?" Snapping out of her thoughts, Jaden shook her head. "No, no! It's fine! I didn't really think it was that long anyways! Well, it's still your move, A.P.!"

Turning to his cards, A.P. thought, 'If I keep acting like a newbie, I won't be able to see much of Jaden's strategies, so I guess I'll have to be serious now!' "I activate the Quick-Play Spell, Reload! This means I can add all the cards I have in my hand back to my deck, shuffle it, and draw the same number of cards I just put back into my deck!"

"Oh! So you played that card just to get a fresh hand? Nice move!" complimented Jaden.

"Well, you did give me some new advice, so I decided that if I was going to have a better chance at beating you, I'll have to get some new cards, thus some new strategy," responded A.P. kindly as he shuffled his deck.

"I'm glad! Keep this up, and you'll be a really good duelist in no time!"

Once he finished shuffling, A.P. drew his new cards, which seemed perfect to turn the tables around and force Jaden into a corner all at the same time. "Time to show you what I've got! I activate the Field Spell, The Sanctuary in the Sky!"

A beam of light burst from the ground before spreading around, illuminating the field before the field itself transformed into a haven of heavenly clouds with an ancient temple right behind A.P.

"Whoa! So awesome! Now things are starting to heat up!" said Jaden, impressed.

'How nonchalant of her, being excited just because of some scenery change,' thought A.P. coolly. "I summon Warrior of Zera!"

Warrior of Zera - (EARTH/Warrior) - LV4 - (1600/1600)

"Then, with The Sanctuary in the Sky and Warrior of Zera out on the field, the conditions have been met! I now sacrifice Warrior of Zera to Special Summon Archlord Zerato!"

Archlord Zerato - (LIGHT/Fairy) - LV8 - (2800/2300)

"Next, I activate Archlord Zerato's special ability! By discarding a LIGHT-Attribute Monster from my hand to the Graveyard so long as The Sanctuary in the Sky is active on the field, he can destroy all Monsters on your field!"

An orb above on of the heavenly pillars in the field shined for a brief moment before shooting out lasers at Jaden's two Monsters, leaving her wide open for a direct attack.

"Archlord Zerato, attack her directly! Sacred Surge!"

Hovering high in the air like an angel, Archord Zerato flapped his sacred wings over and over, firing feathered arrows at Jaden.

A.P. - 2400 LP

Jaden - 1200 LP

"Jaden!" cried out Syrus, worried.

Alexis glanced suspiciously at A.P. 'Just who is this guy? Judging from Dorothy's testimony and the way he's acting now, it really does seem like he's been testing Jaden!'

"I end my turn!" shouted A.P. before looking concerned. "Are you okay? I'm sorry, a gentleman such as myself shouldn't have harmed a kind, helpful, and beautiful girl like yourself like that."

'THIS GUY!' thought Chazz and Syrus, raging from the inside.

Jumping back to her feet, Jaden grinned with excitement. "BEST. MOVE. YOU. EVER. DID! I can't believe how much you improved in such a short time! Now things are really getting interesting! My turn! I summon Elemental Hero Bubbleman in Attack Mode!"

Elemental Hero Bubbleman - (WATER/Warrior) - LV4 - (1200/800)

"With him all alone on the field, I get to draw two more cards! Now, I activate Polymerization and fuse him and Clayman in my hand to Fusion Summon Elemental Hero Mudballman in Defense Mode!"

Bubbleman's head and parts of his blue armor combined with Clayman's heavily defensive body, providing for one of the best and ultimate defense of the Elemental Hero archetype.

Elemental Hero Mudballman - (EARTH/Warrior/Fusion) - LV6 - (1900/3000)

'Finally, some fusion action! She's putting up some hardcore defense! Not bad, but it won't last long!' thought A.P. with a smirk.

"I'll just set a card and end my turn!" said Jaden. "You're doing pretty good, A.P., but a few pointers, first. You have zero cards in your hand, and my Monster's Defense Points are higher than your Monster's Attack Points. If you don't draw a LIGHT-Attribute Monster on your next turn, you won't be able to use that ability of yours. On the other hand, I can't attack, but my defense should help me out for a while."

"Hmph. So child-like, thinking everything will be okay with one draw," muttered A.P. before speaking up. "Wow, you truly are intelligent! If you keep this up, you'll be a pro duelist just like Yugi Muto!"

"Wow, being compared to a great duelist by a freshman? I feel so happy right now!" cooed Jaden, loving the feeling of being praised.

The spectators merely sweatdropped at her act. 'As always, Jaden is just too child-minded. And isn't it a bit too soon to be confident?'

"But, I want to ask something," said A.P., growing a bit serious and more like his usual self. "Isn't relying on a lucky draw a bit too much? It all depends on fate, in the end."

"Fate? No, it's not about fate. Listen, drawing is a moment where a duelist communicates his heart to his spirits," explained Jaden, placing a hand over her heart. "And when a duelist communicates with such spirits, they're called Duel Spirits!"

"So, the rumors are true? Do you really believe in Duel Spirits?" questioned A.P.

Jaden nodded. "Yup, I can hear and see them! They're my friends! Isn't that right, Kuriboh?~"

Upon being called upon, Winged Kuriboh chirped and nuzzled his fur against Jaden's face, loving the sensation and attention he got from his master.

While Jaden was happily interacting with Winged Kuriboh, A.P. didn't see any Duel Spirit. 'Hmm, when I heard that she gave Zane Truesdale, a duelist who entered the Big League, a hard time, I expected her to be more mature and less child-like. Well, not everything's as it seems. It's just like he predicted...'

"My turn!" said A.P. "You know, it does seem like I'm about to lose in a game of luck. Still, I believe dueling isn't all about luck. I was taught that luck and destiny are different. That a person's destiny has already been determined at birth, and that's why everything in the future can be predicted. Who will win and who will lose...It's clear that I may lose to you."

Although a little confused, Jaden seemed to understand the gist of it was relying on destiny. "I dunno who told you that, but thinking that destiny is in control of your life is pretty boring. Plus, I don't really go for the philosophical way of thinking. Personally, I think the world's way interesting if it's unpredictable! Just like how you keep surprising me with these new and stronger moves you've got!"

"Huh, thanks for the compliment, but it won't do much in this duel," said A.P. "What will happen next has already been determined. Confused? You won't be! I activate the Trap card, Beckoning Light! All I have to do is discard my entire hand, and I get to choose a LIGHT-Attribute Monster in my Graveyard and add it to my hand! Then, I discard that Monster in order to activate Archlord Zerato's effect to destroy your Fusion Monster! Then, I'll have him attack you again!"

Taking flight in the air once again, Archlord Zerato fired winged arrows at Mudballman, destroying him before the arrows changed directions to aim for Jaden.

However, Jaden had a backup plan should she ever be rendered defenseless once again. "I activate my facedown Quick-Play Spell, Flute of Summoning Kuriboh! From my hand or deck, I get to Special Summon Winged Kuriboh!"

Winged Kuriboh - (LIGHT/Fairy - LV1 - (300/200)

Once Winged Kuriboh took the hit for her, Jaden said, "Thanks, partner. Now, what was that about destiny? Because my Monster just overwritten mine by protecting me!"

"Huh, fancy that," said A.P. "But of course you would overwrite your own destiny. After all, you're the legendary duelist who can talk to Duel Spirits, so it's obvious your Duel Spirits care about you deep enough to protect you!"

"Huh? I'm called a legend around campus? That's so neat!" giggled Jaden, feeling complimented already.

'As if! Wow, it really is easy to make her happy, but I guess that's a good thing for my part,' thought A.P.


Flashback...

Sitting near a table with tarot cards laying around, a white-cloaked man flipped over one of them. "The Chariot...is reversed. You know what this means. You are to lose to Jaden Yuki, as predicted in the cards."

"Yes," said A.P., understanding the situation even though he hated losing on purpose.

"I understand you must be frustrated at the thought of throwing the match, but understand for the sake of your next victory, you must observe Jaden's abilities. Learn from them and have countermeasures ready."

"I know, but is she really worth losing?"

"Yes. She is merely a stepping stone for you to grow further. Do this, and next time you duel her, you will not fail."


'His predictions have never failed me, but even so...' thought A.P., having some doubts.

"Here I go! My turn!" said Jaden. "I activate Pot of Greed, letting me draw two more cards! Good, I activate Fusion Recovery, letting me bring back Polymerization and Bubbleman to my hand! Then, I summon Bubbleman to the field again and activate his effect to draw two more cards!"

Elemental Hero Bubbleman - (WATER/Warrior) - LV4 - (1200/800)

"Next, I play The Warrior Returning Alive, and bring back Sparkman to my hand! I set a card and play Polymerization to fuse Avian, Sparkman, and Bubbleman from my hand to Fusion Summon Elemental Hero Tempest!"

Elemental Hero Tempest - (WIND/Warrior/Fusion) - LV8 - (2800/2800)

"Now I attack!"

"Nooo! If she does that, it'll be a draw!" cried out Syrus.

"Uh...Syrus? Did you forget Tempest's special ability?" pointed out Alexis.

"He's an idiot, so of course he wouldn't remember," scoffed Chazz, unimpressed.

"I activate Tempest's effect!" shouted Jaden as Tempest released a laser-like cannon from his gauntlet. "By sending a card on my field to the Graveyard, Tempest won't be destroyed in battle with another Monster!"

Just as Jaden proclaimed, she sent her set card to the Graveyard just in the nick of time as Tempest's cannon fire destroyed Archlord Zerato in a large explosion.

"What now?" asked A.P. "It's impressive you managed to destroy my Monster, but that means that you have no more Monsters to attack with."

"Oh, but I'm not done! I activate the Quick-Play Spell, De-Fusion!" shouted Jaden. "It defuses Tempest back into Sparkman, Bubbleman, and Avian!"

Elemental Hero Sparkman - (LIGHT/Warrior) - LV4 - (1600/1400)

Elemental Hero Bubbleman - (WATER/Warrior) - LV4 - (1200/800)

Elemental Hero Avian - (WIND/Warrior) - LV3 - (1000/1000)

"Attack, all three of you! Storm Barrage!"

Shooting themselves into the air, all three Elemental Heroes fired long-ranged attacks in accordance to their elements, taking out A.P.'s remaining Life Points by working together as a team.

A.P - 0 LP

Jaden - 1200 LP

Winner: Jaden

"Yay! I win, I win!" cheered Jaden before running up and kneeling in front of A.P. "Hey, you okay? I'm sorry if I hurt you."

Shaking his head, A.P. looked up at Jaden. "I'm alright. Rather, I should be thanking you for helping me improve my skills. Here, a reward from me to you." He got on one knee, took her hand, and kissed her palm.

'HE SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO DIE!' Those murderous thoughts came into the minds of Syrus and Chazz as jealously hit them in ways they never knew possible. All they could focus was that some hand and some stranger had just kissed Jaden's hand.

"Huh? I don't really see how this is a reward, but okay!" said Jaden, taking her hand back.

'Most girls would faint or get all excited, but she just acted like it's a normal thing. The rumors have said that she's a tomboy, so that might be it,' thought A.P., turning around to leave. 'Still, I don't get why Satorious wanted me to duel her so badly. This is the first time I've doubted his predctions, and although Jaden is a decent duelist, I don't see how this'll help me grow up to be a better duelist...'

Walking up to the cliffs after A.P. left, Jaden grinned at her awaiting friends. "That was pretty tough, since I'm not really the mentor type, but it was a pretty sweet duel, don't ya think?"

"Yeah, you did great out there, Jay!" praised Syrus.

"Hmph, next time, less bragging!" said Chazz, crossing his arms. "Though...I guess you did a decent job."

"Jaden, it's only natural for you to be nervous, tutoring a freshman for the first time. But for the first time, I think you still did a good job," assured Alexis.

"Yeah...I've still got some training to do," admitted Jaden. "But man, he was really good!"

"Ah!" gasped Syrus, bending down and searching through his backpack before puling the new Duel Monsters magazine out. "I thought his name was suspicious! A.P.! That stands for Aster Phoenix!"

"So? He's got a cool name. So what?" wondered Jaden.

"W-Wait, are you serious?!" exclaimed Alexis, taken aback. "Jaden, Aster Phoenix is the youngest Pro Duelist in the Pro-Dueling World League! He's a genius prodigy! You just faced off against a true Pro Duelist!"

"So what? Okay, I get that he's good, but he's gotta work on his deck-building skills."

"Jaden, there's something you should know," spoke up Dorothy. "What that Aster kid build out of his deck were cards randomly from eight packs that were left on the shelves. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that Aster didn't use his real deck on you, and that he probably was holding back his skills on you."

"What?! So, you mean, all this time, he's not even a newbie and he tricked me?!" cried out Jaden. "How could he?!"

"I agree!" shouted Syrus with fire in his eyes. "How dare he take advantage of your feelings and-"

"No, I mean, why didn't he use his real deck on me?! Then, the duel would have been more interesting!"

"You know, I'm not even surprised anymore, but I still am," sighed Chazz, crossing his arms. "Well, at least she's not...romantically interested in the guy."

"Yeah," agreed Syrus. "I still have a chance with Jaden!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...What the hell do you mean you still have a chance?!"

"You know what I said, I'm getting Jaden instead of you!"

"Fat chance! You're too short for her!"

"Well, you're too emo for her!"

"DON'T CALL ME EMO!"

"What are they talking about?" wondered Jaden.

Alexis shook her head and placed her hand on her shoulder. "Boy stuff, Jaden. Boy stuff."

Jaden shrugged her shoulders. "Well, whatever! I can't wait for my rematch with Aster! It'll be awesome!"


Skit: Double Trouble Love

"Everyone! The 1,765,876th meeting for Jaden is now in order!" announced Flame Wingman, slamming his fist against the table, bringing attention to his fellow Duel Monsters inside the meeting room.

"I still can't believe he managed to keep track of how many meetings involving Jaden are," groaned Burstinatrix, shaking her head. Clearly, she's been underestimating the overprotective love everyone had for Jaden.

"I have some good news, bad news, and terrible news! The good news is that two love candidates, Crowler and Alexis Rhodes, has 100% confirmed to not have any love interest in Jaden whatsoever!"

Everyone cheered as Bubbleman crossed off the pictures of Crowler and Alexis on the bulletin board using a red marker. Others who didn't simply rolled their eyes as it was pretty obvious that the two never had any romantic feelings for the girl whatsoever.

"But the bad news is that a student named A.P., a freshman, challenged Jaden to a duel, and he was none other than...Aster Phoenix."

All occupants in the room gasped as they heard of the world famous Pro Duelist prodigy's name. Aster Phoenix was a famous, young Pro Duelist who not only was skilled, but owned a Hero deck just like Jaden, but...their rival deck, the Destiny Heroes.

"And even worse, he began toying with Jaden's emotions, leading her on, constantly...flirting with her and even going so far as to kiss her hand!" yelled Flame Wingman, boiling with anger. "My comrades, Aster Phoenix is now the #1 top priority in elimination right now, but we must bid our time and make sure he cannot make Jaden fall in love with him!"

"How could he?!"

"Taking advantage of Jaden like that!"

"He's lucky we can't physically hurt him without extending too much of our energy!"

Everyone else who thought of this whole operation as ridiculous could only pity Aster Phoenix as his picture was put up in the bulletin board.


I'm back! Just to clarify, I know I may have made Aster a bit OOC a little in this, but think about it. If he wanted to manipulate a girl, he would use his charms and flirting to win her heart. It...may have worked a little on Jaden, but we all know she's too oblivious in love to realize that.

Anyways, should I do the Chazz vs Obelisk Blue kid episode next chapter? Because it's basically a Chazz episode and I dunno what else to do. Or I could skip ahead to the Hassleberry episode since that is kinda needed.

Read and review and tell me!
