Chapter 15: Surprises and Gifts
Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh or Cardcaptors. Phineas and Ferb belong to Disney and will be featured as Erin's friends staying with her through out the adventure starting in this chapter. I do own Erin and her deck. Also for this chapter and the next few chapters I'd like to say this is Season 1 Jaden Yuki I'm using so he hasn't met Aster Phoenix yet.
It was four o clock pm at Duel Academy on the same day Joey was able to defeat Chazz in a very close Duel in the end. Erin returned to Obelisk Blue after her daily lesson with Dr. Crowler. She watches as Alexis turned waving over to her. Honestly Erin would've been with her friends Phineas, Ferb, and Joey at this time as it wasn't bed time just yet, however Alexis had requested for Erin to meet her in Obelisk Blue after her private lesson with Dr. Crowler. Puzzled at Alexis's request Erin agreed. Erin had arrived in the Obelisk Blue Girl's only dorm there she saw Jasmine and Mindy. Mindy looked really excited as did Jasmine whom turned "Hey, Alexis! Erin just arrived."
A playful giggle from Alexis came from the bedroom Alexis and Erin were staying in "Thanks Jasmine! Send Erin in please."
Hearing Alexis giggle caused Erin to smile warmly. Whatever Alexis wanted to see her and speak to her about wasn't a bad thing. To Erin hearing a playful giggle meant that Alexis wanted to have some time as friends. Erin bows to Jasmine and Mindy whom stepped aside to allow Erin into the room "Thanks you two!"
"You're welcome" Jasmine told her.
Mindy just smiled at Erin "I hope you like what Alexis wants to see you about! She went through a lot of trouble for it from requesting it from Chancellor Sheppard to actually getting the money to get it."
Erin wondered what Alexis got that Alexis needed Chancellor Sheppard's for. By Mindy's tone and Jasmine looking just as excited it told Erin, that it was a good thing. Erin entered the door seeing Alexis's back "You wanted to see me Alexis?"
Alexis nodded "Certainly. Hey Erin, please close the door. I know we're both girls but I have a gift for you and I want to make sure it fits on you...So I need you to take everything off."
Blushing red Erin closed the door to their room even locking it "O-O-Okay, everything off?"
Alexis turned her head towards Erin "Except your panties and your bra if you have a bra on."
Erin obediently stripped herself quickly starting with her shirt, next her skirt, to then finally her shoes and socks. Erin was at the age where her breasts were starting to develop but she was still flat chested so there wasn't a need for a bra. Erin stands in her panties blinking wondering what Alexis wanted to give her. Alexis hums turning her whole body and Erin's eyes widened as she saw what Alexis had in her hands. It was a small Obelisk Blue Girls uniform minus the blue fingerless gloves. Alexis walked over towards Erin "That's why I needed you to strip almost everything off, I bought you this, and hopefully it's the right size, I only have till tomorrow morning to return it if it's the wrong size. Please try it on."
Erin smiled "Sure!"
Erin soon puts on the Obelisk Blue uniform from the white and light blue color pattern to the blue skirt and blue boots. Erin actually giggles twirling around in her new outfit "It fits!"
Alexis smiled seeing Erin happy "I'm thankful it does! I should've asked you for your measurements but I'm glad my guess of your size was a good one! I want you to keep it. You will won't you?"
Erin was really, really, really happy, so happy that she couldn't help stop her tears from falling down from her eyes. These were tears of happiness and Alexis could tell right away these were, even as Erin hugged Alexis "Yes, I'll keep it, I'll treasure this outfit forever! Thank you for this gift!"
Alexis smiled patting Erin's back "You're welcome!"
Erin hugged Alexis still crying happily as she asked Alexis "You bought this outfit for me?"
Alexis nodded "You bet! Took a lot of my money to buy one for you, but I did."
Erin smiled "Why did you buy this for me?"
The Obelisk Blue smiled back "You maybe visiting Duel Academy. I figure one day you might actually enroll here, although at that point Pegasus would've taught you fully and nearly everything there is to know about Duel Monsters so you might not ether. I want this gift to be one of like a souvenir to remind you about your Rare visit to Duel Academy. After all you'd like to remember your visit here right?"
"Right" Erin admitted.
"Want to get a photo of your new outfit?" Alexis asked her.
"You bet!" Erin told Alexis, then Erin blinked "There's a photographer here?"
Alexis smiled "Chancellor Sheppard liked my idea, and said he'd be glad to take a few photos of you."
Erin smiled "Let's go see him but first let's go see my friends and I want you to be in one of mine."
"Sure! I'd be glad to! Plus we can include them in the photos too" Alexis said then she hid another small smile your friends will be amazed as well as you when you see them.
Alexis opened the door then exited out first where Jasmine and Mindy waited. Jasmine couldn't hide her excitement in any longer as she spoke "Well Alexis? Don't keep Mindy and me hanging! Did Erin like it?"
"More importantly if she does like it" Mindy added on "DOES IT FIT HER?"
Alexis chuckled stepping aside "See for yourself the new Erin Syaoran!"
Erin steps out of the room smiling. Jasmine and Mindy let out sequels of delight seeing Erin in that new outfit.
"You look so amazing Erin!" Jasmine told her.
"Yeah!" Mindy added on "You look like you were born like all of us Obelisk Blue Girls to where that uniform that size!"
"Looks good on you!" Jasmine said.
"Thanks girls" Erin said "Did you two know of Alexis's plan?"
Mindy giggled "You bet! Oh there is more part of Alexis's plan, the first part was getting your Obelisk Blue Girls only uniform."
Alexis shot her two friends a look that told them to keep it down.
"There's more to Alexis's gift?" Erin asked.
"There is!" Jasmine said "But Mindy and I might've spoken a bit too much. Alexis wanted your first gift from her to be an Obelisk Blue's girls only dorm, but let me tell you when you see what she has in mind for the second part you'll be surprised!
Alexis smiled "I'm amazed Dr. Crowler even agreed to allow me to buy you your outfit."
"Well he is privately teaching her while Mr. Pegasus is away" Mindy admitted "It makes sense Dr. Crowler would allow that to one he's privately teaching."
Alexis turned to her friends "Erin and I are going out to visit her friends then we'll be going for a photo shoot."
"Have a great time!" Alexis's two friends said to the departing figures.
The first Dorm they arrived to was Ra Yellow where Phineas and Ferb were right at work trying to think of a new way to keep Erin's two Sakura Cards safe from MFWD. They also had a slight change to their outfits. Alexis knocked on the Ra Yellow Dorm's door. Bastion answered "Yes?"
"It's me" Alexis told him "Erin's with me."
"Oh!" Bastion said he opened the door whispering to Alexis "Is Erin in her outfit?"
Alexis whispered back "You bet! Get Phineas and Ferb out here too."
Bastion nods turning to Phineas and Ferb "Hey you two! Erin's here."
"Sweet!" Phineas replied he turned to his brother Ferb "Just wait till she sees what Bastion just gave us."
Alexis and Erin wait outside the dorm, but didn't have to wait for long. Erin watches as her two friends came out of the Ra Yellow Dorm. No sooner had Phineas and Ferb gotten out of their dorm did they see Erin's new outfit. Erin sees that Phineas and Ferb had Ra Yellow uniforms on for their size. Before the three could issue out a word, Joey had arrived with Jaden at his side with Joey's voice sounding very excited "HEY! ERIN, FERB, PHINEAS! Look what I just got!"
He arrives on the scene and wore a Slifer Red uniform then he blinked seeing Ferb, and Phineas in their Ra Yellow uniforms, at the same time he saw Erin in her Obelisk Blue Girls only uniform. Then all four shouted in surprise "YOU TWO ARE RA YELLOW? "ERIN'S AN OBELISK BLUE?" "OH DARN IT! I WAS HOPING I WAS THE ONLY ONE WEARING A UNIFORM FROM DUEL ACADEMY...I JUST REMEMBERED I'M THE ONLY ONE OF US THAT'S A SLIFER RED! SERIOUSLY THOUGH ERIN, YOU LOOK LIKE YOU WERE MADE FOR THAT OBELISK BLUE OUTFIT!"
The four friends were indeed shocked with surprise, all four of them had Duel Academy uniforms with Erin wearing the Obelisk Blue Girls only uniform supporting it well thanks for it being the right size for her, Phineas and Ferb wore their Ra Yellow uniforms with pride. Joey was in the mix of wearing his Slifer Red Uniform between being happy about it and furious remembering Slifer Reds were supposed to be the lowest duelists of the Academy. He turned to Jaden "You couldn't get me a Ra Yellow at least?"
Jaden sweat dropped "It's true I'm the one who gave you the gift but it was Alexis that got the idea."
The four friends all look at Alexis with Alexis, Bastion, and Jaden all smiling shouting "SURPRISE!"
Erin once again felt really, really, really happy. This was well worth a surprise, first she had gained her new outfit which she swore to herself to always wear now with pride. Then it seemed Alexis not only bought Erin her new outfit but Alexis went a head and bought two Ra Yellow shirts for her two friends Phineas, and Ferb, then lastly got a Slifer Red uniform for Joey. She managed to talk to her two friends Bastion and Jaden to give Erin's friends their outfits. Joey turned to Alexis "Why couldn't you ask to buy three Ra Yellows?"
"I tried Joey" Alexis said sweat dropping "Dr. Crowler didn't mind allowing me to buy Erin Obelisk Blue Girls only outfit, Phineas and Ferb's Ra Yellow outfits...He did mind however me trying to buy a Ra Yellow outfit for you, so I had to go with Slifer Red."
"Darn that Crowler!" Joey said snapping his fingers, then he turned to Alexis "Then again, I should be thanking you for the generous gift you gave the four of us. So I shouldn't be too upset about this."
"You bet!" Phineas admitted to him "We may not be Duel Academy students, just visitors but just them pitching into buy us these Duel Academy uniforms was very generous of Alexis."
Ferb agreed silently "She didn't have to do it Joey but she did."
"Which is why I'll gladly wear a Slifer Red uniform" Joey told them "It's better than nothing."
"Agreed" Erin admitted.
Alexis looks at Jaden whom held a Fusion Monster Card for Erin "You have a gift for Erin too?"
Erin overheard this and saw Jaden nod at Alexis's question. She even heard Jaden admit it "You bet I have something for Erin."
He turned to Erin "Before I give you my gift which is this card I'm holding, there is something you must do tomorrow."
Erin blushes "W-W-W-What do I have to do?"
Bastion answered almost as if he understood where Jaden was going towards "You're Dueling me tomorrow at the Dueling Field during school hours."
Jaden eyes Erin seriously "My hunch is saying your deck has one weakness, Drawing support. While that's not a big serious weakness it could make you at a disadvantage against opponents whose decks like mine benefit from Drawing support."
Erin blinked not realizing that weakness so far that didn't affect her dueling abilities but she saw Jaden's point.
Jaden smiled "Luckily for you, I have a Fusion Monster Card that can really help you out in that way. Plus seeing that you like FIRE attribute Monsters, minus two exceptions your Synchro Monster Ally of Justice Casator, and Hand of Nepthys is a perfect fit for your deck."
Erin smiled warmly now seeing that Jaden thought of his gift carefully, but Jaden held up his hand smiling "But if you want my gift, you have to do one thing tomorrow during school hours. Beat Bastion during a Duel with him, I'm calling it my first Duel Test for you. If you beat Bastion, as a reward for beating him I'll give you this Fusion Monster Card and another FIRE Attribute Elemental HERO Monster that can help your deck out."
Erin nodded now that much determined to win.
"Aren't you forgetting something Jaden?" Alexis asked him for Erin's defense "Bastion's really good. If I recall from his Duel against Chazz, Bastion easily won that. Plus he nearly had you during that day you and him Dueled to see who'd be Duel Academy's representative."
"True" Bastion said "I already know which deck to use against her as well, but Alexis, I see Jaden's point of view. Sooner or later Erin's going to come up against an opponent like me whom may specialize seeking out her deck's weaknesses. Sooner or later she's going to go up against someone and she has to be prepared."
"Bastion's right" Phineas said "Honestly Alexis, Erin's a good Duelist too. She's had some close duels and won them."
"I suppose so" Alexis admitted she eyes Erin serious "A word of advise Erin, don't think on Jaden's gift he maybe giving you tomorrow. If you lose you may not get the gifts he's going to give you. If you win he will but that's a really, really strong If. I'm glad it's Bastion whose agreed to Duel you tomorrow and not Zane."
"He'd crush her for sure" Phineas admitted "Nothing in her deck can save her from his Cyber-End Dragon once Zane uses it with Power-Bond. Ferb was just lucky to have that one Trap Card that kept us in the Duel."
Erin nods at Alexis's advise, Alexis continued now with an explanation "If you think the good news on what will happen if you win against Bastion, that'll cloud your mind. If you are to Duel against Bastion you have to do it with a clear, calm and technical mind as well in order to try to go toe-to-toe with him. Even though Jaden beat him which I was there to see it, I'm not sure how he was able to pull that win off but he did."
"I never gave up and believed in myself!" Jaden told Alexis "That's how I was able to defeat Bastion but Erin, Alexis is right you have to have a calm, clear and technical mindset. Bastion is a very hard opponent especially when he's known to prepare for Duels long ahead in time."
"Will do" Erin told Alexis and Jaden enjoying that they were giving her advise "So beat Bastion in a Duel tomorrow, I'll certainly try to do that."
"So what are we going to do now?" Joey asked.
Erin answered "I want to get a few photos of this moment."
Phineas smiled "That's a great idea Erin! No one in the Tri-State Area would believe me and Ferb when we return wearing Duel Academy uniforms. I can just imagine the look on Baljeet's face when Ferb and I show him the photos we all took here."
"He's the only one that'll believe us that we were given these uniforms as gifts and there is a slight chance he'll be a little jealous when he sees us and the photos" Ferb told Phineas.
"That reminds me" Erin said turning to the two boys "Does Buford still bully him?"
"Nearly anytime he gets the chance too yes" Phineas sighed "But not so much now, that Baljeet can beat him in a Duel."
"And did one day" Ferb admitted "That's how you and I got into Duel Monsters."
"Yep!" Phineas said agreeing with Ferb.
"So" Joey said turning to his three friends "What are we waiting for? Let's get some photos!"
"Alexis, Bastion and Jaden can join us" Erin said turning to them "Won't you all?"
Alexis smiled "I'd be glad to. Anything to help you remember your time here Erin."
"I'm up for it" Bastion said.
"Sweet! I'm for it!" Jaden said.
"Then lead away Alexis!" Erin said to her friend.
The Obelisk Blue smiled "Sure, follow me everyone, Chancellor Sheppard is waiting for us. Can't have him waiting all evening long."
The group of seven head to Duel Academy's building towards the Chancellor's office.
Chancellor Sheppard was indeed waiting for Erin and her friends to arrive. The bald Chancellor had actually grown quite fond on Erin. Too make it even better for him he had done some research on who Erin's parents were and when he saw her mother was Sakura Kinomoto whom was a cousin to him, that bond with Erin grew even more. Officially Erin was his niece and the Chancellor wanted to see Sakura again whom he had met a total of three times in the past. Once was when she was nine years of age and he was fifteen years old, he had ended up staying for a month visiting not only Sakura but her brother Tori. He would visit Sakura again when she was thirteen and he would then meet Sakura's boyfriend whom would be her boyfriend Li Syaoran. Then once Sakura got married the Chancellor would be invited to his younger cousin's wedding. That was all the times he saw Sakura. He now knew what cards Erin possessed that made her a target from MFWD and that was the Sakura Cards.
The Chancellor crosses his arms thoughtfully as he spoke to himself "Hmm, no wonder MFWD is after you Erin."
He thinks carefully back when she Dueled against Alexis seeing Shield and Fiery cards and thought I thought that black shield looked familiar. I thought that fire woman looked familiar too. Those two are two members of the Sakura Cards that had been magically turned into Duel Monster cards. Most likely they did this because of Erin's love for Duel Monsters. It's a sure way to keep those two Sakura Cards safe too. MFWD wouldn't dare think of looking in Erin's Dueling deck.
"Something bothering you sir?" Dr. Crowler asked the Chancellor "You've only spoken once and that was something on your mind...Something about you know why MFWD is after Erin?"
Chancellor Sheppard nods firmly "When Pegasus told us Erin has two cards that aren't normally Duel Monsters, he wasn't lying. I'm actually glad that Erin's visiting us."
"Why's that?" Dr. Crowler asked.
"Because" Chancellor Sheppard said smiling "Believe it or not...She's my niece. Her mother Sakura Kinomoto is one of my cousins. I never got to see Erin be born due to at that time being Duel Academy's Chancellor at the same year she was born."
Dr. Crowler was surprised at the news "Well now! Who knew that Erin was your niece?! That's a wonderful feeling isn't it?"
"Indeed it is" Chancellor Sheppard admitted then he smiled warmly "To think I didn't figure that out until earlier today when my research came back. I'm happy to see that Erin is a duelist."
"Does her mother and father Duel?" Dr. Crowler asked.
"No sadly" Chancellor Sheppard admitted "They do not. Which is why I'm surprised as you are when Erin is a Duelist."
The Chancellor frowned crossing his arms "Now knowing that Erin is my niece makes me that much more serious in making sure she is safe. Dr. Crowler, double the patrols of our security."
"May I ask why?" Dr. Crowler asked.
"You may" Chancellor Sheppard told him "It's because, I won't let MFWD take Erin away. If they are after her, then it can only be for one reason, she's the daughter of Sakura Kinomoto whom wields fifty-three cards that aren't Duel Monsters. In the wrong hands those cards her mother wields can certainly destroy the world."
"Are you saying that Erin's mother is some sort of a Magical girl?" Dr. Crowler asked in a puzzled tone, the Vice Chancellor had never been a big believer in magic.
"Indeed Sakura is" Chancellor Sheppard said "In fact her husband also has magical powers as well. Since Erin is Sakura and Li's daughter she most likely gained both parent's magical powers..."
He then stands up straight "Which means she gains Sakura's powers too."
"Is that a problem?" Dr. Crowler asked.
"Not unless MFWD decides to attack Duel Academy" Chancellor Sheppard said he then relaxed a bit "If she has Sakura's powers, then MFWD is going to get a rude awakening."
Dr. Crowler blinked confused as the Chancellor chuckles "For you see Dr. Crowler, Sakura possessed the ability that with her wand was able to bring her magical cards to life and obey her every command. If Erin inherited that ability then it's most likely she can use that for her entire Duel Monster deck. If she did inherit that ability then she can use that power to defend herself."
"BUT ERIN'S DECK IS ALL FIRE MONSTERS!" Dr. Crowler said "She could accidentally put the island on fire."
"If she's not careful" Chancellor Sheppard admitted "Yes, she could but I doubt she'd be that careless. Sakura and even her husband Li weren't careless. Sakura might've been clumsy at times and made mistakes in the beginning, but Li her husband always had her back."
Dr. Crowler sighed "Wow, who would've known this was a great development for you."
"Indeed" Chancellor Sheppard said "So it's really important for Erin's sake that we double the patrols of the security forces here. I don't want to have to report to Sakura or her husband that we failed to protect Erin. No mother or father should have to worry about her daughter being kidnapped. Especially when they'll know from seeing my face that I was in charge of protecting not only all of Duel Academy but Erin as well."
Dr. Crowler saw how serious Chancellor Sheppard was then nods in agreement "Consider that done! I'll double the patrols."
There was a knock at the door causing the Chancellor to turn "Yes, who is it?"
"It's me sir" Alexis's voice announced from behind the door "Alexis, I'm with Erin, her friends, Bastion and Jaden."
"Hey Chancellor Sheppard!" Jaden's voice announced "We're here for the photo shoot!"
Chancellor Sheppard turned towards the door "Then come in."
The door opened, Alexis and Erin walk in side by side. Followed by Bastion next with Phineas and Ferb after him. Lastly Jaden and Joey walked in last. Chancellor Sheppard's heart melted when he saw his niece Erin in her Obelisk Blue girls only uniform. She looked so beautiful for a nine-year old girl. Dr. Crowler finds himself smiling at Erin as well, he whispers to Chancellor Sheppard "Obelisk Blue looks good on her."
"Indeed she does" Chancellor Sheppard admitted.
Joey waved at Dr. Crowler "I see I finally got this uniform!"
"Yes, yes" Dr. Crowler told Joey "I see you've finally accepted that you are in Slifer Red. Honestly that's all you'd probably ever be in. After all that was the least expensive uniform for Alexis to buy."
Joey formed a fist still hating Dr. Crowler but he restrained himself muttering quietly but only to himself "I'm so close in punching you in the face. One more remark like that and I might just do that"
Chancellor Sheppard turned to Erin "Erin?"
"Yes?" Erin asked innocently.
The Chancellor looks at her "Come to me let me see you a bit more my niece."
"Niece?" Erin asked while obeying the Chancellor coming closer towards him.
"That means" Alexis said as she saw the Chancellor hug Erin close "That Chancellor Sheppard is Erin's uncle!"
Jaden and Joey couldn't help but shout with confusion "THEIR RELATED? HOW?"
Bastion smiled as he figured it out "It's quite simple if you think about it, if the Chancellor is Erin's uncle then he must be a cousin to one of Erin's parents."
Chancellor Sheppard nods "I'm a cousin to Sakura Kinomoto her mother."
"Uncle Sheppard?" Erin asked a bit confused at first then she smiled hugging the Chancellor back "UNCLE SHEPPARD! It's you! Mommy mentioned that you've helped her three times when you visited her."
Chancellor Sheppard chuckled "I see she didn't fail to mention me at all. I'm just happy to see you finally. I never got to see you as a baby but seeing you now makes my heart melt."
Alexis smiled "I'm happy you two finally figured it out. Congratulations Erin."
Phineas turned to Ferb "Wait till Baljeet hears that Erin's related to the Chancellor."
Ferb smirked nodding "He'll be even more jealous of her."
Erin soon stopped hugging the Chancellor and separates from him smiling "So Uncle Sheppard, I'm ready for some photos."
Chancellor Sheppard smiled "Very well. How many do you want?"
Erin counts down "Five for me please. One by myself, then one with Alexis with me, then a third with me and my friends around me, then the fourth will be with Jaden-"
"Figures" Dr. Crowler muttered.
Jaden smiled "I'd be glad to have my picture taken with you Erin!"
"Then the fifth one" Erin said looking at Alexis, Bastion, and Jaden "With Alexis, Bastion, and Jaden all together."
Chancellor Sheppard smiled "Of course, Six for you Erin." he turned to Phineas and Ferb "How many for you two?"
"Well Ferb and I will only need two additional ones" Phineas answered "And that's just a single picture with me and my brother, and one with the two of us and Bastion. We'll also take a copy of a group picture with Erin, Ferb and I and myself, and a copy of the group photo of Alexis, Bastion and Jaden."
The Chancellor nods "Very well, and you Joey?"
Joey looked at the Chancellor liking the man he was certainly way different than Dr. Crowler was. Joey then spoke "I only require two additional ones when it's my turn. One of me alone, then the other is with me and Jaden. Then like Phineas and Ferb, I'll take a copy of the group photo of me, those two brothers and Erin, then a copy of the group photo of Alexis, Bastion and Jaden."
The Chancellor chuckles "Very well. Let's begin. Erin let's get yours done first."
"Yes Uncle Sheppard" Erin told him.
The Chancellor guided Erin till she was standing alone near the windows of the Chancellor's office. The Chancellor had the instant camera he was holding focus in on his niece whom does her best to smile happily in which she truly was.
"Say cheese Erin" Chancellor Sheppard said.
"Cheese!" Erin said with a big smile.
With a click and flash, Erin's first photo was taken and a photo came out of the camera. It was pitch black but Dr. Crowler gently grabbed the photograph and places it on Sheppard's desk so it could develop. The Chancellor turned to Alexis "Get in there Alexis."
"Yes, sir!" Alexis announced she ran over towards Erin and turned towards the Chancellor "How do you want us to pose sir?"
Dr. Crowler had the suggestion "Why don't you and Erin hold one of each others hands to symbolize a hand shake then you make a peace sign while smiling at the camera?"
"Perfect suggestion" Chancellor Sheppard admitted.
Alexis smiled doing so facing Erin extending her right hand towards Erin's. Erin reached her own right hand towards Alexis's. The two girls grabbed onto each others hands shaking them. Alexis moves her left hand and made a peace sign with her two fingers. Both girls look at the camera smiling and Alexis winks with one of her eyes as Sheppard took the photo. Once more the photo came out and Dr. Crowler puts it on the desk to develop.
Once this was taken, the Chancellor goes onto the third picture which he decided to have Jaden get his picture taken with Erin first. Chancellor Sheppard turned to Jaden "Go towards Erin, Jaden, before the group photo of her friends it should be the one with you next."
"Certainly!" Jaden said.
He walked over to Erin and had the perfect plan for this pose "Hey Erin, take a seat with me."
He turned to Dr. Crowler as Erin was sitting down carefully putting her hands around her skirt to keep it from flashing him as she sat down "Hey Dr. C? Got any practice Dueling maps?"
"I do" Dr. Crowler admitted "Why?"
"I need you to put one in between me and Erin" Jaden told him.
Dr. Crowler does get the required item and Chancellor Sheppard saw Jaden's plan laughing "I see it now Jaden, you are her teacher when it comes to on the field Duel work. What better off than to act like you are teaching her."
"You got it!" Jaden told the Chancellor.
He turned to Erin "Place any Monster card from your deck and I'll play mine."
Erin nods and both had the same idea, for Jaden he choose his Elemental Hero Flame Wingman, for Erin she choose Elemental Hero Phoenix Enforcer instead of Fox Fire. Only because she wanted to give off the vibe that she had just played Phoenix Enforcer to take care of Flame Wingman to make it even more convincing she had Polymerization in her Graveyard spot.
"Now" Jaden told her we turn our heads towards the camera as if we weren't expecting it but smile anyway once we see it.
"Then we wave towards it!" Erin said.
"That a girl!" Jaden told her.
The two turn their heads to the camera as if just noticing it, then smile and wave towards the camera.
The Chancellor chuckled seeing this and took the picture "Three down and that's a wonderful one you decided to do with her Jaden."
The two get up with Jaden cleaning the area up, and giving the mat to Dr. Crowler.
"Next" The Chancellor spoke "The group picture."
"Come on Ferb!" Phineas told his brother "Let's get our picture taken with Erin."
Ferb, Joey and Phineas soon joined Erin. The Chancellor choose the pose "Erin, stand up straight! Joey since you are the tallest out of the group you stand behind her. Phineas and Ferb you two get to ether side of Erin."
The four get into position with Phineas being at Erin's left and Ferb being on Erin's right. Joey was in the back. Like Alexis had done he made a peace sign. All four smile and the Chancellor takes three pictures of the same pose. For the last picture for his niece, the Chancellor had Jaden in the middle looking puzzled at Alexis and Bastion seemed to activate their Duel Disks giving out that the two would Duel one another. Despite the pose the three Duel Academy students all look at the camera and smile. The Chancellor like the previous picture took three photos of the same pose.
While Erin waits for her photos to be done, she watches Phineas and Ferb get their first picture together. Which was them standing like she was looking at the camera. For their second one, Bastion joined them as was in the middle of the two boys having both of the boys at ether side of his arm and holding them as if he was their brother. Now it was Joey's turn. Joey's first was the standard stand and smile. Just like Alexis and Bastion had been caught pretending to be Dueling with Jaden looking puzzled, Joey's second photo was now of him activating his Duel Disk and faced Jaden whom activated his own and to the camera it looked like the two would have a Duel both having wide grins on their faces as the picture was taken.
"That's everything" Erin said smiling at her uncle "Thank you for the photos."
"You're welcome Erin" Chancellor Sheppard said "Before your Duel tomorrow with Bastion, I'd like you to visit me."
Erin saw her uncle's face and knew at once he knew she had two of her mother's Sakura Cards. She gulps nervously as the Chancellor spoke "You aren't in trouble Erin. I just want to talk to you."
"Okay Uncle Sheppard" Erin told him.
With the photographs done, everyone left the office. Erin had never been this happy before. This was a great day today. Her gift Alexis bought her and her friends, to finding out Chancellor Sheppard was her uncle, then the nice photographs which she was viewing. She smiles seeing them thinking These are perfect for me to keep.
end of chapter
My bad guys this was supposed to be a Duel between Erin and Bastion but I decided that I should have Alexis give Erin and her friends a big surprise. So what did you think of the surprise? Plus we were due to for a filler type of chapter anyway mostly to see how nice Alexis is to Erin and her friends. Anyway next chapter will be Chapter 16: Fire vs. Water: After meeting her uncle during the morning whom tells her he knows about the Sakura Cards, Erin meets up with Bastion ready to Duel him. If she wins she'll gain two cards from Jaden, but can she win against Bastion whose deck is ready to take Erin out?
Do to having no Duel in this chapter, there isn't any cards I'll be explaining.
