Unexpected Revelations

"Hey, Dy, wake up!" Alex shouted as he saw his friend's eyes finally starting to move. Dy groaned, woke up and sat up. "You have some explaining to do," Alex stated.

Oh, shit, thought Dy. I guess I'm going to have to explain now. Damn it all. "Alright, you already know, I guess, but I'm a girl."

"No, duh! I meant why are you pretending to be a guy?"

"Well, you see, it's hard being a girl and a sport dominated by guys! You try putting up with the stigmatism! And so, I created this false identity, to keep people away from me."

"Okay, I can understand that much. Does anyone else know?" Alex wondered, his anger being replaced with an older brotherly feeling.

"Nope, you're the only one."

"So..." Alex started feeling quite awkward in this conversation. "You going to tell me anything about who you are and stuff? Or your real name?" Alex had no idea what to say to a girl, seeing as he had no experiences dealing with them. (AN: No, this is not romance, they might be paired with other people later, but there is no AlexXDy moments.)

Dy smiled at this. "Uh, I wish I could, but I, um, kinda ran away from home without telling anyone. If this got out, then I'd be forced to go home, you see. And you may call me Dy, as that is my real nickname," she replied. "So, can you please keep this between us?" Her eyes were filling with tears, and Alex knew some things were better kept quiet.

"Of course I will, we're friends after all."

"Yeah, friends."

For once, Alex felt at peace with himself. It took him a while to realize that it was because he had found a real, true friend, since Ryan. "Hey, Ryan, if you can hear this, I hope you know that I miss you and that I'm fighting for you. I hope you're proud of me," Alex whispered once he was alone in his room.

Ironically, the statement about fighting for his friend would get altered to fighting his friend. Boris, the twisted monster that he was had saved both boys' lives. He was controlling them and was going to enter them in the tournament. However, he decided to erase their memories, so that they could not betray him, the way Alex and Scott had.

"Are you ready, my pupils?" he asked.

"Yes, Master," came the reply, monotonously, from the two children once known as Ryan and Athrun.
