Chapter 5: Halloween Hop

"Whoa." was all Syrus could say when he got a look at Airland, Alexis, Jasmine, and Mindy when they met up in front of the gym. "They look..."

"Awesome..." Bastion, Jaden, and Chazz finished.

Airland, to break hearts, had chossen to go as the Dark Magician Girl! (Though everytime she looked into a mirror, she had to restrain herself from destroying it or herself...) She made sure to wear a pair of shorts that matched the skirt underneath and she even did the rosey cheeks. Her hair was styled out the same way as DMG's as well.

Syrus stared at her and felt his cheeks growing warmer. He also felt stupid for wearing a pair of vampire fangs with a black cape and a black longsleeved polo with his black jeans and Slifer sneakers.

Jaden was wearing a pirate costume, he claimed he was Will Turner from POTC. Alexis' costume worked out perfectly, she was the pirate form of Elizabeth Swan. Mindy was a witch (YES! HER TRUE IDENITY IS REVEALED!). Bastion a scientist. And Jasmine was an Arabian Princess. Chazz had chossen to go all werewolf and was wearing a realistic mask. Chumly appeared dressed up as a huge grilled cheese sandwich, making Airland roll her brown eyes towards the sky.

"Well, are we just gonna sit out here and freeze to death?" Mindy smirked. "Or are we gonna go in there and party!"

Chazz slowly took her arm before they walked into the gym. He looked like, even though he'd rather be going with Alexis or Airland, he was going to have a good time with Mindy. Jasmine smiled shyly as Bastion escorted her into the gym. Chumly waddled off to help Ms. Dorthy with refreshments. Jaden and Alexis exchanged another look as Syrus and Airland stood there, avoiding each other's gaze, and whistling.

"Hey! I have an idea!" Alexis finally exclaimed, Airland turned her attention away from her feet and towards the blonde haired girl. "Let's go inside and scare Crowler!"

"Yeah." Jaden said, grinning as he caught on. "We can put these realistic rubber worms down the back of his shirt!"

Syrus and Airland laughed as Jaden really did pull out a small jar labeled 'Rubber Realistic Glow-in-the-Dark Worms!'. All four of them quickly walked into the gym decorated perfectly for the Hop. Chumly seemed to be having fun eyeing the treats that they were selling to raise money for the card shack. The Monster Mash was playing in the background as Jaden eyed his sister shyly blushing whenever boys started staring at her. He was starting to get tempted to smash one boy's cupcake in his face for whistling, but Alexis held him back.

"Calm down, Jay. Airland can fend for herself." Alexis hissed in his ear.

"Just one punch, c'mon Lex!" Jaden growled fiercely as boys starting surronding Airland, cutting her away from Syrus.

Alexis sweatdropped, "Well... if you have too..." She released him and Jaden and Syrus began trying to get through the mob to their best friend. "Poor guys..."

"Hey, baby. Wanna come dance with me?" a boy smirked, Airland was turning a horrible shade of green and looked desperatly around for an escape route. There was none. He made a grab at her, causing her to squeak. "C'mon, I won't bite. Much."

"Get away from her!" Jaden lunged out of no where and tackled the boy. "You leave my sister alone!"

"Jaden!" Airland exclaimed in relief, Syrus grabbed her hand.

"C'mon Airland!" Syrus ordered, dragging her out of the mob who was now shouting "Fight! Fight! Fight!". "Let's get you outta here!"

They ran to the safety of the janitor's closet next to the bathrooms. Syrus blocked the door while Airland slid down the back wall, her head to her knees. Syrus turned around and blinked in surprise when he saw her body trembling.

"Airland?" She didn't respond as he sat next to her. "Airland, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

"It's always the same thing!" Airland cried. "Everytime I even try to look pretty or try to feel better about myself, boys always make moves on me and grab at me! No one ever cares about me as a person! Just about my body!"

"I care about you as a person..." Syrus whispered, she blinked her warm, tear filled, brown eyes.

"Really?" Airland sniffled.

"Really, really." Syrus smiled as he placed a hand on her bare shoulder.

"Thanks, Syrus." Airland wiped her eyes with her DMG glove. Syrus smiled even brighter. "I'm feeling better already."

Maybe I can sing that song to him...

"Airland?" Syrus stared at her unfocused face.

"Wha-" she snapped out of it. "Hey, can I sing you a song?"

Random...

"Sure." Syrus agreed.

Airland began to sing in a soft quiet voice. (Again, Disclaimer: I don't own 'I'll Always Be Right There'...)

When you're all alone,
And you need a light,
Someone to guide you through the night,
Just remember that I am here,
To hold you close and dry your tears.

Oh-ooh

And just when you thought you were falling,
But you know I'll always be right there.

When you're all alone,
And you need a friend,
Someone to help you to the end,
When you need someone to catch you when you fall,
I'll be there through it all.

Oh-oh

Cause just when you thought you were losing,
But you know I'll always be right there.

And I'll be there through the good times,
And the bad,
And we'll be there for each other,
Cause you're the best friend I've ever had.

And just when you thought you were falling,
But you know I'll always be right there.
Oh-oooh, whenever you need me,
I'll always be right there...

"Airland?" Syrus said softly.

"Yes, Syrus?" Airland whispered, they stared into each other's eyes.

"I..." Syrus cleared his throat, his mouth suddenly dry, his palms suddenly sweaty, his face flaming. "I..."

Dangit! How come those three words are so hard to say?!

"THERE YOU ARE!" Mindy and Jasmine burst into the closet and made Airland and Syrus grab onto one another, screaming. "JADEN HAS BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR YOU TWO!"

Dang! They ruined the moment!

Syrus looked crestfallen as Jasmine and Mindy snatched Airland and dragged her out of the closet.

"Hey! I can walk, ya know!" Airland exclaimed in anger.

Airland... I love you...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Halloween is over..." Airland sighed as her and Alexis laid side by side outside the Slifer dorms, watching the red, orange, and yellow leaves fly off the branches of nearby trees. "I wish it wasn't though."

"Airland, can I ask you something?" Alexis asked, Airland raised an eyebrow. "Something personal?"

"Okay, shoot." Airland replied cooly.

"Do you love Syrus?!" Alexis finally blurted out.

"SAY WHAT?! WHAT IN THE WORLD GAVE YOU THAT IDEA?! I MEAN, IS IT OBVIOUS I WOULD EVER LIKE SYRUS OR IS IT-"

"Airland." Alexis sweatdropped as Airland started another one of her famous covering-up-for-something rants.

"-COMPLETLY MENTAL THAT I WOULD EVER LIKE A GUY LIKE SYRUS! WHO IS SWEET, AND CHARMING, AND CUTE, AND COMPLETLY HONEST, AND WHO I MIGHT ACTUALLY WOULDN'T BE AFRAID TO DATE AND-"

"Airland!"

"What?"

Airland had been jumping up and down, waving her arms in defense, her face blood red. Alexis eased her back down onto the grass.

"Breathe." Alexis ordered, Airland did so and her face went back to normal. "Now, answer my question calmly..."

"Yes..." muttered Airland.

"Why not tell him?" Alexis asked gently.

"Because... I HAVE TO DUEL HIM!" Airland collapsed face first into the grass and moaned. "I am such a loser..."

"Airland..." Alexis coaxed. "Is this about your Ra Promotion exam?"

Airland nodded.

"What's gonna happen if you duel him?" Alexis continued.

"Crowler's gonna tell him that if he looses, he'll be expelled." Airland moaned. "And if I tell him, then I'll loose any chance I have at getting to Obelisk..."

"Crowler's behind this?" Alexis blinked her eyes before growling. "That no good, cross dressing, grandma look-a-like, lipstick wearing egotistical fruitcake!"

Airland started giggling and so did Alexis. The two friends looked up towards Syrus', Jaden's, and Chumly's dorm and let out equal sighs.

"This is harder than I thought." Airland admitted.

"Sweetie." Alexis got a glare from Airland. "Sorry, trying to be sisterly here."

"Go on." mumbled Airland.

"I think that, no matter what, you and Syrus will stay friends. Duel or no Duel." Alexis finished.

"You really think so?" Hope was clear in Airland's sweet voice. Her brown eyes shining with a new found happiness.

"I know so." whispered Alexis.
