(One week after the announcement and beach party)
Professor banner went to the slifer mess hall and found who he was looking for eating lunch with his friends. "jaden you have a letter from your parents" hearing this made jaden lose his appetite and he went to get the letter form banner. After he got the letter he went to his room to read it. After reading the letter he had to go to class but when he got there he seemed to lack the happy go lucky attitude and was just silent. His friends knew something was wrong with him after he refused to duel Harrington and went to the harbor to think. "alright jaden what is up with you" asked chazz but jaden stayed silent. "is crowler trying to expel you again" asked syrus with no luck. "did you lose a duel" asked bastion also with no luck, alexis came up and put her hand on his shoulder he put his hand on hers and finally decided to tell them. "my father is coming to visit and he's engaged me to a daughter of a friend of the family" said jaden with no life in his voice. "that is harsh" said chazz, "when is he coming" asked syrus, "in a week" said jaden while gripping alexis's hand tighter.
(later that day)
jaden has kept to himself and alexis was starting to worry so after classes were done she went to the slifer dorm to talk to jaden. "is jaden here" asked alexis, "yeah he just went to the bathroom" said chumley. Jaden came in after that and alexis asked the others to leave so they could talk. After syrus and chumley left she sat next to jaden. "are you ok jaden" asked alexis, "no lex I'm not I mean we just found out we love each other and then my dad comes in with the engagement and just ruins everything for us" said jaden while wrapping an arm around alexis's shoulders, "maybe you'll like her" said alexis. "yeah and chumley hates grilled cheese" said jaden out of spite. Alexis kisses him on the cheek and leans her head on his shoulder, "what was that for lex" asked jaden " it was for luck and hope that this will all turnout alright" said alexis "you seem to know a little about this" said jaden. "Well I got a letter from my father two weeks ago saying the same thing," said alexis. "so that's why you asked how I felt about you" said jaden in understanding. "yes and jaden" said alexis "what is it" asked jaden, "can I stay like this" asked alexis. "sure you can stay" said jaden, that night they slept the happiest they had in their lives.
