"Duel Monster cards can be grouped into normal monster cards, fusion monster cards, ritual monster cards, affect cards, trap cards, and spell cards. Trap cards can be divided into normal traps, counter traps, and continues traps. Spell cards can be separated into normal spells, continues spells, equip spells, quick-play spells, ritual spells, and field spells," said Rose as she stood to answer Dr. Crowler's question.

"Per-fect! Well done Rose! Of course, I wouldn't expect anything less from one of my Obelisk Blue," said Crowler with a smile.

"Yes, Dr. Crowler," said Rose in fake happiness. 'I still think you're an asshole.'

"Hmm. Now who should we question next?" asked Crowler as he looked around. His eyes focused on Syrus. "You! Syrus Truesdale!

"Huh?" said Syrus as he stood up.

"Explain to the class what a Field Spell is, please," said Crowler with a not so kind smile.

"Um," started Syrus as he started to get nervous and mess up what he was trying to say.

"Even pre-duelers know the answer to this you Slifer Slacker!" yelled a random Obelisk Blue boy making the other Obelisk Blues laugh except for Rose and Alexis.

"Relax Sy, you totally got this," said Jaden in a reassuring voice.

"I think not. Now sit down," said Crowler condescendingly. "Now will someone please give me the answer. Preferably someone not wearing red, thank you."

The Obelisk Blue students started to laugh while Rose simply glared.

'What an ass. Syrus is a shy guy,' thought Rose as she continued to glare.

"You know something teach?" asked Jaden, causing everyone to look at him. "You really shouldn't go making fun of us Slifers like that."

"Huh?" said Crowler, looking up at Jaden.

"I mean, I'm a Slifer and I beat ya. So, when you make fun of us, you're really making fun of yourself!" said Jaden as he began to laugh. The other Slifers began to laugh as well. Crowler started to bite on his handkerchief.

'Well said Jaden,' though Rose as she and Alexis started to giggle.

~Next Class~

"As some of you students know, my name is Professor Liam Banner." Said Banner as he stroked his pet cat while sitting at the front of the class. "I specialize in some of the lesser known tactics and strategies in the world of duel monsters. Some that a few might even consider to be unnatural. Duel alchemy, for example."

'This is interesting,' thought Rose as she took down notes. She looked around her and noticed that none of the other Obelisk Blue students were taking notes. 'Of course, he's the head of the Slifer dorm.'

"For sticking up for me!" said Syrus to loudly.

'Syrus!" said Banner, causing Syrus to stand up scared. "Do me a favor and grab Pharaoh, would you?"

"Pharaoh?" asked Syrus.

"Unless you are minoring as a scratch post," said Banner as everyone heard a mew come from Syrus' legs, making them laugh.

~Next Class~

"Hi everyone! My name is Fonda Fontaine and I'll be your gym instructor for this semester. You ready to sweat?" asked the gym instructor, who also happened to be the head of the Obelisk Blue Girl Dorms.

"She seems happy," said Jaden from his place of standing next to Rose.

"You have no idea," responded Rose with a sweat drop.

"I wonder where Sy is," though Jaden out load as he looked around.

~That Night~

"Alexis! Rose! Want to chill out in the Obelisk wading pool?" asked a girl.

"No thanks! We'll wade, and the boys will sway," replied Alexis as Rose laughed.

"I'm not in the mode for a game of tackle Marco Polo," said Rose.

"Hello! Girls dorm! No guys allowed, remember?" said another girl.

~In the pool~

"Can you believe what that Jaden kid said to Dr. Crowler today? He's got some nerve to talk to a teacher that way. Completely disrespectful. Don't you think?" asked Jasmine to Alexis and Rose as Mindy nodded.

"Actually, I think that it was kind of cool," said Rose with a smile.

"What! Him? Cool?" shouted Jasmine.

"He could be. If he had the talent to back up that talk, maybe," said Mindy, causing Jasmine to laugh.

"I think he just might, but I won't know till I duel him myself," said Alexis causing Rose to laugh and nodded in agreement.

"A boy!" yelled one of the girls outside causing all the other girls to grab towels and run out.

"I'm gonna go change," said Rose as she grabbed her towel. "Get me if you guys need me."

~A Few Minutes Later~

"So, you want me to send a message to Jaden?" asked Rose to Alexis.

"Yes. It seems someone gave Syrus a love letter from me and so he came here. I was thinking that we could use Syrus as bait to get Jaden to duel one of us and we can see if he really is as good as he says," said Alexis with a smirk.

"Hmm. Okay. Give me your device," said Rose as Alexis gave her the device.

"What are you gonna do?" asked Mindy.

"Just going to send him a message using a voice modifier, that way he won't know who sent it," said Rose as she then gave the device to Alexis. "Try it out. If you like the message, then we can send it."

"Okay," said Alexis as she got ready. "We have your roommate Syrus. If you want him back, come to the girl's dorms now. Alone."

"That's good!" said Jasmine as Alexis then sent it to Jaden.

"Now we just have to wait," said Alexis. She then turned to Rose. "Do you want to duel him, or should I?"

"We can decide when the time comes, but I think you should since it was your plan," said Rose with a smile.

"We can decide later," decided Alexis as the girls left to get ready.

"Come on Syrus, let's go!" said Rose as she grabbed the tied-up boy and left to the docks.

"Rose! Please!" cried Syrus.

"Sorry man," replied Rose with a smile.

'You don't seem sorry,' thought Syrus with a swat drop.

"Here he comes," said Mindy as the girls and Syrus watched Jaden come closer.

"Hi Jaden," said Syrus as Jaden got out of his boat.

"Hey," replied Jaden. "So, what exactly is going on here?"

"Well, to make a long story short: I'm basically a big loser," said Syrus.

"Your friend here trespassed into the girl's campus," said Jasmine.

"Is that true Sy?" asked Jaden in disappointment and surprise.

"Hey! It's not like that!" defended Syrus.

"And now that you're here, Jaden, you're trespassing too!" accused Mindy.

"That's right! And if you don't want us to turn you in, you're going to have to win your freedom by defeating one of us in a duel, right now!" said Alexis.

"But if you turn us in, we'll be expelled!" cried Syrus.

"Don't worry Sy, I won't let that happen! Now, let's duel Rose!" said Jaden, shocking Syrus.

"You want to duel me?" asked Rose as she blinked at him.

"Yeah! I've been wanting to for a while, so this is gonna be fun!" said Jaden as he smiled at the purple haired girl.

"Alright then, let's go!" said Rose as everyone got into their boats.

~Once in the Middle of the Lake~

"I hope you know what you're doing Jaden," said Syrus.

"Ready!" said Rose with a serious face.

"Oh yeah!" said Jaden.

"DUEL!" said the two teens.

"Get your game on Rose!" said Jaden with a smile.

"Here we go," said Syrus in fear.

"Let's see!" said Rose as she drew a card. "I play Flower Dancer and place one card face down."

Flower Dance was a beautiful female with green skin and an outfit made of different types of flowers. She had flowing green hair that was darker then her skin.

"Time to throw down!" said Jaden as he looked at the card he drew, "First, yes, I'll summon the Elemental Hero Sparkman and now I'll have him attack your Flower Dancer with Static Shock!"

"Hold it right there!" said Rose as she played her trap card. "I activate the trap card Protective Sacrifice!"

"Huh?"

"Protective Sacrifice makes it so you attack me directly instead of my monster. Now, since you were about to attack my monster, it gets to attack you directly."

"Great," said Jaden sarcastically.

"When Flower Dancer attacks directly, her attack points increase by 600."

"Jaden!" cried Syrus.

"That Rose is something else. Sacrificing her own life points just to get to mine," said Jaden in wonder.

"So, you impressed?" asked Rose with a smirk. Jaden just smirked back at her.

"Impressed? I think I'm in love," said Jaden as he looked her in the eyes. 'Definitely'

"That's sweet, love. Too bad I'm going to have to beat you. Let's see if you're still in love after this," said Rose with a slight blush as she drew a card. "I play Thorn Heart. Then I activate the card Polymerization to fuse the two together to summon Thorn Dancer! Now, Thorn Dance, attack Sparkman with Thorn Rage!"

"Well, so much for him," said Jaden as his card was destroyed.

"Way to go Rose!" said Mindy

"Yeah, you got him now! I knew when this kid beat Dr. Crowler, it was just luck," said Jasmine.

"You go girl," said Alexis.

"Well, it will be my pleasure to prove you wrong. My draw! I activate the field spell card, Fusion Gate! Now I can summon fusion monster without a Polymerization card. And, I'm gonna summon this one: Elemental Hero Flame Wingman!"

"Okay. You do realize that they have the same attack points and will just end up destroying each other," said Rose with a smirk.

"Not after this, they won't," said Jaden as he played a card. "I activate the spell card Kishido Spirit! Now Wingman can take down any monster with the same attack points and not be destroyed. And thanks to his super power, once he destroys your Thorn Dancer, you take damage equal to her attack points."

"Damn," said Rose as she gritted her teeth.

"Now go Flame Wingman and attack her Thorn Dancer!"

'Cute,' thought Rose and Wingman attacked her Thorn Dancer, only for there to be no damage.

"What? She survived my Wingman's attack," said Jaden in shock.

"Simple. My Thorn Dancer's special ability makes it so that she can't be destroyed if my opponent only has one monster," said Rose with a smirk.

"But, then that would mean that," trailed of Jaden.

"That neither of us lose any life points," finished Rose.

"Well, I guess you got me," said Jaden.

"When I get you, you'll know it," said Rose with a smile as she winked at him causing both Jaden and Syrus to slightly blush.

'Cute,' thought the two boys.

"I equip my spell, Fusion Weapon, onto my Thorn Dancer!" said Rose as she played her card.

"Oh oh, I think you might want to brace yourself for this one Sy, old buddie," said Jaden with a smile.

"Go Dancer! Attack Flame Wingman with Trident Shock!" called Rose as her monster attacked.

"Hope you boys haven't unpacked your bags here yet," said Alexis with a smirk.

"Yeah! Because if you lose, you're both getting expelled," said Mindy in a sing song voice.

"We are!" said Syrus in fear.

"That's not gonna happen Sy, promise," said Jaden as he looked back at Syrus.

'You shouldn't make promises you can't deliver,' thought Rose. 'I really would hate to see him go.'

'I hope I'm not making a promise I can't deliver,' thought Jaden as he looked at Rose. 'I've got someone to impress.'

"Here goes!" said Jaden as he drew a card. "Perfect!"

"Huh?" said Rose in shock as Jaden smiled.

"I play the Elemental Hero: ClayMan. Rise up!" he said a she played the card. "And now I activate Monster Reborn! So, come on back Elemental Hero Speakman."

"He can't beat my monster. She's stronger than him," said Rose with a smirk.

"With my field spell still in effect, I can fuse my monsters together to get someone who will beat your monster," said Jaden. "Rise! Elemental Hero: Thunder Giant!"

"Hate to brake it to you, but Thorn Dancer's attack points are higher," said Rose with a frown.

"I know, I know," said Jaden with a smile "but with Thunder Giants ability, he can destroy any monster whose original attack points are less than his own."

"Original attack points?"

"That's right. Attack points without any type of enhancement."

"But before I played Fusion Weapon, her attack points were 2,100," said Rose in shock.

"That's right! That's lower than my Hero Thunder Giant, so your Dancer is automatically destroyed!" said Jaden as his monster attacked and destroyed Rose's monster. "And the coolest part of it Rose, is that I still have the rest of his attack to use on you! Baltic Thunder!"

"Ugh," said Rose as she almost fell back.

"Rose!" said Jasmine.

"What just happened?" asked Mindy in shock.

"You okay Rose?" asked Alexis as she helped the girl sit down.

"Yeah!" yelled Syrus as he hugged Jaden.

"Alright! Looks like that is game!" said Jaden as he smiled at the girls with a wink.

~After Rowing Next to Each Other~

"Well, a deal is a deal. I won, so we get off free!" said Jaden with a smile.

"Okay guys, we won't back out. We'll keep quiet about what happened tonight," said Alexis as she stood next to Rose.

"Well, if you ask me, I think we should turn both of them in, right now!" said Jasmine.

"Well, no one asked you," said Rose annoyed.

"Rose," said Jasmine in shock.

"Jaden beat me in a duel, fair and square and that's all there is to it," said Rose.

"No, there is more to it than that, it was close," said Jaden causing the girls to look at him.

"Hmm?"

"Yeah, you got game," said Jaden as he smiled at Rose. He and Syrus then sat in their boat. "Later!"

'Even if I would have won, there is no way I would have turned them in. Syrus is fun to mess with and Jaden. . . is Jaden,' thought Rose as she smiled at the boys leaving. Jaden looked up at her and smiled back.

'Rose seems very happy. She must really like being around them, especially him,' thought Alexis with a smirk. 'I am so picking on her about this.'
