Jaden's POV
"Alright everyone! Let's get moving! We have a lot of ground to cover!" Atticus said as we stepped out of the hotel.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Chazz asked, irritated.
"We have the entire city to see Chazz and that's a lot of ground to cover," he answered, looking at him like he was an idiot.
"Wait a minute. Are you saying that you're taking us around Ochi City?" Alexis asked, standing next to me. He turned around and looked her. He was still walking…backwards.
"Of course."
"I don't think so."
"What do you mean?"
"Remember what happened last time you took us on a tour of a city we were at for vacation?" He flinched a little. Seemed like Lex hit a sore spot.
"It happened one…," he began but she interrupted him.
"Three, Atty. It happened three times."
"What happened three times?" Syrus asked, confused.
"Atticus got us lost. And he has only taken us around a city three times," she answered.
"So what do you propose we do?" Atticus said, stopping. We were at the corner a block away from our hotel. We all stopped and tried to think.
"I have an idea," I said. Everyone looked at me like I had two heads. Was it really that shocking that I had an idea?
"You…have…a…idea?" Chazz asked. I could tell he was trying to stifle a laugh. I nodded. The stifling didn't work. As soon as I nodded, he broke out in a roar of laughter.
"Well, what's your idea, Jay?" Atticus asked, ignoring Chazz who was now rolling on the ground laughing. I pointed across the street to a building. Chazz looked, still laughing, and when he saw what I was pointing at, he stopped. Everyone else looked to where I was pointing. It was a tour bus station. The best in Ochi City, according to the sign. By the looks of things, they were getting ready to begin another tour. "Now why did I miss that?" Atticus asked, scratching the back of his head with his left hand.
"Probably because you just wanted to get us lost," Alexis accused.
"I did not!" he defended himself. Zane stepped up and picked Chazz of the ground then looked at him.
"I vote for Jaden's idea," he said.
"I second the motion," Bastion said, standing next to Atticus.
"So we all want to go with the tour bus rather than myself?" Atticus asked, a tad bit upset. Everyone nodded and he sighed.
"Tour bus tour it is," Crowler said. Well, now there was no arguing, was there? We all crossed the street and entered the air conditioned building. It was quite an interesting building. It had dark, wooden floors with white painted walls. There was a large desk at the front of the room. A lady with large glasses sat behind it. She was blowing some bubble gum and flipping through a magazine. Atticus walked over to her. We all followed.
"Excuse me?" Atticus said, trying to get the lady's attention. It worked. She looked up and saw all of us. Her bubble gum bubble popped when she saw how many of us there were.
"Are you all here for the tour?" she asked, still in shock.
"Yes ma'am," Zane said, stepping up and standing next to Atticus.
"How many with your party?" she asked, backing away from the desk while pulling out a drawer.
"Thirteen," Atticus replied. The lady looked at him like he was crazy.
"Thirteen?" What was so surprising about that? What? She didn't get larger parties here? Atticus nodded. "What type of tour would you like?" She pulled out a roll of tickets.
"Excuse me?" Atticus asked confused. She sighed and started ripping off some tickets.
"Do you want the full tour or do you want to get dropped off somewhere?"
"The full tour please," Zane replied because Atticus was actually thinking it over. She nodded and handed Zane the tickets. Atticus pouted at him but didn't say a word.
"How much will this be?" he asked, cringing as he pulled out his wallet.
"No charge," she said with a smile. Everyone looked at her like she was insane. Hmm, maybe she is. Wait, hold on…
"There has to be a charge!" Crowler demanded. She shook her head. Something about her was familiar.
"Not for you guys. Now please hurry because the tour bus leaves in five minutes," she said, getting back to work. Everyone looked at Atticus who shrugged and put his wallet away. We turned to leave. "Have a nice day, Jaden," she called sweetly, not looking up from her magazine. Everyone froze and looked at me. I looked at everyone who were all giving me wide eyed stares. I let out a nervous chuckle.
'Oh shit…'
"You're going to tell us how she knew your name later, right?" Alexis asked me, pulling my hand down as if I wasn't paying attention.
"I don't know how she knew my name," I lied. There was no way I was going to tell them how that lady knew my name, now that I finally figured out who she was. 'Damn family connections!'
"Liar," she whispered so only I could hear it. I shook my head.
"I'm not lying," I lied. Everyone was looking at me like they all could tell I was lying. Why was I cursed with having a terrible poker face!
"Well, you do look like a Jaden. She just probably assumed that was your name," Atticus said, trying to figure it out himself.
"That is ridiculous!" Crowler insisted.
"Eh, she was probably talking to the guy who walked past her desk leaving when she said it," Syrus said. Everyone looked at him.
"Someone was leaving?" Mindy asked. He nodded. I inwardly let out a sigh of relief.
"Syrus is right. That's probably who she was talking to," Zane agreed. Everyone nodded and walked out of the building.

We all got on the tour bus to find it was almost completely empty except for three elderly couples.
"Where is everyone?" Hassleberry asked, taking a seat at the front of the bus.
"Tour season doesn't begin for another week so these are all the people who come early," the bus driver said as he sat down.
"Really?" Blair asked, sitting down behind him. He nodded.
"Yep." He started the bus. Alexis and I sat down behind Hassleberry. Syrus sat down next to him. Zane and Atticus sat down behind Blair. Bastion sat down next to her. Mindy and Jasmine sat down behind me and Alexis. Chazz and Aster sat down behind Zane and Atticus. Crowler sat down behind Chazz and Aster. About a minute after we all sat down, a young, blonde haired girl stepped onto the bus. She was in one of those tour guide outfits. You know? Those pale blue things with the skirt, blouse and pin with your name, and white sneakers. Not to mention those weird hats and a microphone headset.
"Hello everyone. My name is Carla and I'll be your tour guide for today. Please feel free to ask any questions about what we are going to see. If anyone has only a part tour ticket, please raise your hand." No one raised their hand. "Very well. Now let's begin the tour." Carla smiled. The bus driver moved the gear shift out of park and into drive. The bus began to move.
"What are we going to see first?" Bastion asked Carla. She was standing at the front of the bus but was gripping a metal poll at the head of the bus. She adjusted the microphone headset on her head before she spoke.
"First we're going to pass The Biker Park."
"Biker Park?" Aster asked. She looked at him and smiled.
"Yes. If you would all please look to your left, you can see it." Everyone looked to their left. Biker Park was like any normal park but there was a ton of people biking around it.
"Biker Park is the only Biking only park in the entire city. It is a very popular stop for some tourists. Next to the park is a bike rental shop," Carla explained, pointing to a building which read "Bike Rentals". We kept going for about another five minutes before Carla spoke up again.
"Now we are passing the Ochi City High School. During the summer there a many duel tournaments so please, fell free to go and watch the number one dueling team in Japan." Carla smiled. "There is information about upcoming tournaments in the office which is open up till five o'clock PM every day except Saturday and Sunday when the office is closed."
"I'll stop by there tomorrow and snag one of those," Atticus whispered for all of us to hear.
"Yes, very good idea, Atticus. We should see some dueling this summer," Crowler said with a nod of approval. I was looking out the window, not really paying attention.
"Jaden?" Alexis asked. I looked at her.
"Yeah?"
"I figured you'd be the most excited about the tournaments. You don't seem excited at all." Syrus and Hassleberry turned around in their seat to look at me.
"Are you feeling okay, Serge?" Hassleberry asked me.
"I'm fine, Hassleberry," I reassured him.
"You sure? You have seemed very quiet lately," Syrus pointed out. Damn it. Why is everyone suddenly paying attention to my change in attitude?
"Don't point that out Syrus! I'm enjoying this change," Chazz said, relaxing in his seat.
"Are you really okay, Jaden?" Zane asked me. Suddenly everyone's eyes were on me, aside from Crowler and Chazz who were happy about my change in personality.
"Perfect," I lied but I covered it up with a smile. Everyone turned around and looked at Carla who was pointing out some more spots.
'This is getting bad. Thanks to that lady at the tour bus place, everyone doesn't believe me very easily anymore. I can't let them find out though. But, what do I do if we go to a tournament? If I say I'm not in the mood for dueling, they'll have me checked into a hospital so fast it would make my head spin! I'll have to come up with something if it ever comes up. I'm more worried about HER than anything else though. I hope she's on vacation. It would be really hard trying to explain why she acts like she does around me.' I thought. I was drowning out Carla; there wasn't much for me to see.

Hey everyone. This chapter is kinda boring, yes I know. But I just needed something like this so I could come up with some ideas for the rest of the fic. I didn't have them see every place they were going to go. They are going to go biking soon but the next chapter is going to happen back at the hotel. The gang goes swimming…fun time there. I have plans for swimming. And they actually will go swimming in the city pool sometime too. Jaden's secrets are starting to be revealed. Anyway, hope you enjoyed it, sorry for all the boringness about it. The next chapter will be more exciting but I don't know when it will be posted so just bare with me! I'm working on like 3 fics right now and I'm going to start writing a 4th one. I'm just that kinda person. Anyway, I'm done ranting so review please: )
