Bastion opens the door and walks out with the sound of two arguing men coming from where he just left as he closes the door.
"Oh, hello everyone. JXA fan asked if I could do the disclaimer since he and Hamm-Ram are getting ready for their dates with Mindy and Jasmine. I must say that it is nice to be given this honor but I hope that maybe JXA could consider including me in the story at some point I mean is that too much to ask since Reunion had several of our classmates included except me for whatever reason..."
"Get over it and I might consider it!" JXA fan said before slamming the door startling Bastion as he looked back before turning forward once more. "Right, anyway disclaimer time. JXA fan does not own Yugioh GX or any of it's characters, he does own Mike while Leo is owned by Hamm-Ram. So without further ado, on to the story."
Mike was waiting outside the Domino Mall wearing some faded jeans that matched his leather jacket hiding the brown shirt underneath, unfortunately his mind was elsewhere as he waited for his girlfriend to arrive. (Italics will be memories that the person is reliving)
"What are you doing Jaden? What about the Pack?"
"The Pack is no more, it was just a meaningless name that only you used to call our group of misfits and I don't need that anymore," Said the Supreme King as he ordered Malicious Fiend to destroy Luna Wolf finishing off Mike's life points as he started to fade, 'Sorry Leo, I couldn't get thru to him after all.'
Suddenly Mike was taken from his thoughts as a pair of hands cover his eyes and a familiar voice said, "Okay guess who?"
"Scarlett Johansson?" said Mike in a teasing voice, "Oh, very funny you," said a frustrated Mindy as she released her hands from around Mike's eyes as he smiled before turning to see his girlfriend for their date. Mindy was wearing a red Qipao with gold inlaid birds as her dark hair was styled in two buns on either side of her head, at her hips the dress had two slits on either side showing her white stocking clad legs leading to her matching red flats as she spun around causing parts of the dress to flutter as she moved before ending her spin right in front of him winking at him as she flashes a bright smile at him. "Wow, you look amazing Min-Min," said Mike using a pet name that made Mindy's heart flutter as she heard him say it.
"So what were you thinking about?" Mindy asked as she grabbed his left arm as the two walked into the mall with her looking up to wait for an answer, "Just thinking back to Dark World and what happened there."
"Do you want to talk about it?" said Mindy concerned for Mike, "Maybe another time, I just need some time to deal with this first before I talk about it. Okay?" "Fine, but your buying dinner where I want this time," said Mindy as Mike agreed before leading her in further as the two start their date.
Meanwhile in another part of the mall we find Leo wearing a jacket with a fur lining the collar giving him a more feral appearance with tan shirt underneath and dark jeans as he looks over at Jasmine. Jasmine was wearing a pink sundress with white hearts on it that made her maroon hair stand out more and matching heeled sandals showing off her pink painted toenails as the couple were sharing a smoothie together. "So how did you and Mike get to be friends?"
"We met the first day of Kindergarten and it was funny but we were competing to see who could jump the highest during recess when we saw this taller boy picking on a girl from our class, Both of us walked over and tried to get him to stop which ended badly as he called some of his friends over and we all got into a fight, but me and Mike held our ground and watched each others backs before the teachers broke it up and we got suspended for a few days for the fight. We still argue but we have been friends since then." "Wow, that so cool and how did you both meet Jaden then?"
"That one was a few years down the road when me and Mike were dueling each other at the park with our brand new decks and it ended up with me flat on my back saying I'll beat him next time, which I did, but then we heard some clapping and there was Jaden being well Jaden at the time. He said he liked watching our duel and wanted to see if we wanted to duel him. Since then we have been very close friends growing up and even enrolling at Duel Academy together." "Yeah that does sound like Jaden, at least before our third year at Duel Academy," said Jasmine slowly trailing off as Leo doesn't like bringing up what happened that year even if the two got together then.
Meanwhile Mike and Mindy were looking over some CD's at a music store as Mindy was gushing over a DVD featuring Tea Moto going over some popular dance moves. "Oh how I wish I could meet Tea Moto and have her show me how to dance," said Mindy spinning on the store as Mike chuckles, "I don't know, you had some nice moves at the Tag team tournament party that Hassleberry and Blair had set up for us seniors."
"Yeah, but I wish we had done even better in the tournament instead of tying with Leo and Jasmine in the third round," said Mindy remembering how the two ended in a double knock out that eliminated both pairs from the competition, "Hey now, remember this was last minuet so we never had time to make sure our decks could work together and they were in the same boat as us so a tie isn't the worst that could have happened." "Yeah, so I was wondering what was it like fighting those Shadow Riders, I mean Alexis never really mentioned her duel at all as she was too tired to answer and even later just never told us anything about it."
"Well the duels had high stakes at the time since it was a shadow duel, but my duel wasn't all that much. I thought since Banner had mentioned Abidos was undefeated that he was a tough duelist but he was given those wins by his servants because they thought that he would punish them if he lost and he learned first hand what my wolves could do by working together. I think Leo had it harder since Tanya was a more experienced duelist and had to show Bastion that the passion of dueling without being in love as Soleo defeated Tania's Amazons one by one."
"Do you regret having Chancellor Shepard asking you to guard the Spirit gate keys?" "No, me and Leo became better duelists after the whole thing even learning a few things when we lost to Banner in that two-on-one handicap against his alchemy deck," said Mike as he showed Mindy a CD and the two looked over a few others before buying a few as they left the store. "Hey Mike, I was wondering if your free for next Saturday?" said Mindy as Mike thought about it before he suddenly remembered, 'Oh crap, that's the night that Jaden's folks have that party to announce his engagement and he asked me to be there along with Leo.'
Deciding on an answer that won't get him in trouble Mike says, "Sorry Mindy, but that day me and Leo have a tag tournament we're in. Not sure how long it will last." 'Damn, Alexis said we could invite the boys to the party since she asked me and Jasmine to be there for some support,' thought Mindy said as she wanted to dress u for her boyfriend and dance at the party even if they had to wear masks, "That's okay, good luck in the tournament anyway," said Mindy giving Mike a kiss on his cheek before whispering in his ear, "If you win I'll give you a kiss on the lips."
Meanwhile not far from them, we see Leo and Jasmine walking arm in arm as Leo is deep in thought. Suddenly stopping he surprises Jasmine as he says, "Hey Jaden invited me to a party next Saturday and I was wondering if you wanted to come with me?" 'Oh no, next Saturday is Alexis's party to introduce her fiancé and she asked me and Mindy to be there for her,' "I'm sorry but Alexis already invited me and Mindy on a girl's spa day that will take all day," said Jasmine as she felt bad about lying to Leo.
"Oh well enjoy the girl's day," said a sad Leo as the two kept walking but suddenly a gang of punk looking guys get in front of the two, "Well lookie what we have here boys, a looker here with this loser," said the one in the middle as several of the other guys start snickering as Jasmine cowers behind Leo. "Look, just leave us alone and you can walk out of her on your own power," said Leo glaring at the leader as his boys start to surround the two as Leo works his jacket off showing some muscle from the work outs he and Mike did together to stay in shape. Soon one of the guys tries to grab Jasmine from behind but Leo sees it and grabs his wrist before throwing him over towards another that is trying to get Leo from behind. Soon the others start joining in as Leo tries his best to keep them away from Jasmine.
However Leo soon finds his arms grabbed by two of the gang as he is held while another gets ready to punch his face, however before the person could hit Leo a shadow appears overhead before kicking the two holding Leo as he then turns to do a round house kick on the one about to hit Leo. Leo opens his eyes to see Mike with his jacket off as he puts his back against Leo's smiling as he says, "I leave you for a few hours and this is the trouble you get into."
"Shut up and thanks for the save, let's teach these punks a lesson," said Leo as Mindy appears next to Jasmine as she is holding Mike's jacket in her hand worried for both their boyfriends but she was worried for nothing as they quickly deal with the punks as the girls think back to their second year as Mike and Leo worked together to defeat many of the professional duelists and Society of Light influenced students with Soleo surrounded by his red hot flames and Luna Wolf with his midnight fur making his eyes and crescent moon scar between it's eyes. After the gang was arrested, Mike and Leo enjoyed the rest of their date with the girls as they shared stories from Duel Academy as well as before the Academy.
Alright, so now we find out that both parties are happening on the same night. Is this a coincidence or not, well your just gonna have to stay tuned to find out the answers. "Wait JXA, what about having me show up in the story?" said Bastion as he walks towards me before I slap my face and clap as the light go out.
