Jaden's POV

"Remind me again why we are going to another dueling tournament?" Chazz asked as we walked into the large dueling stadium.

"For one, Jaden and Lexi missed the last tournament we went to. Another reason is this is the National Championship! It's bound to be amazing!" Atticus said. We stood in line to get our tickets. I could see that the stadium was already packed.

"Yeah, and Zac is just so cute!" Mindy said. Alexis giggled and I sighed. I had my arm wrapped around Alexis' waist and was holding her close to my side, using her like a shield. Though I was already pretty under cover, if I do say so myself. I had a baseball cap pulled low on my head and I was wearing dark sunglasses. I also had the collar of my jacket flipped up.

"Honestly, Jaden, I think you're being paranoid," she told me in a whisper. I looked at her.

"Oh, really? They haven't seen me in almost three years and they were always excited when they saw me again after only seeing me a week ago," I said. She sighed and tugged up my jacket collar. I smiled at her.

"Are you sure they won't recognize you?" Zane asked me. He was standing on my other side, almost like another shield. I shrugged.

"I honestly have no idea if they will but I sure hope they don't," I confessed. He nodded and looked around.

"Jay, aren't you excited?" Syrus asked. He was standing behind me. I looked over my shoulder at him.

"Of course I am, Sy," I said smiling. Syrus smiled back and went back to chatting with Hassleberry. "So who is in the championship?" I asked Atticus. He was standing in front of me as he was the one who was going to buy the tickets.

"Ochi City, of course, and Poko City!" Atticus said, smiling back at Alexis. She sighed and I chuckled. I leaned to whisper in her ear.

"Our hometowns dueling it out for the National Championship, who'd a thunk it?" She giggled.

"Maybe because Poko is the second best in the nation." I smiled playfully at her.

"Second best for a reason." She stuck her tongue out at me and playfully smacked my arm. I chuckled. I kissed the tip of her nose. "You know I'm teasing." She giggled and nodded.

"Hey! I got us our tickets! Let's go!" Atticus yelled. I sighed and looked at Alexis.

"Shall we?" I extended my free arm toward the entrance. She smiled at me.

"We shall," she answered. I chuckled and we followed Zane and Atticus into the stadium.

Luckily, even though the stadium was completely packed we found a cluster of empty seats. I sat between Zane and Alexis. We were at the end of the row. Atticus sat next to Zane. Chazz sat behind Zane. Blair sat next to Chazz. Aster sat directly behind Alexis and there was an empty seat between him and Chazz. Syrus was sitting next to Atticus who was sitting next to Hassleberry. Bastion was sitting next to Hassleberry. Mindy and Jasmine were sitting next to Bastion. Crowler was sitting behind Aster.

"Yo dudes!" Mark yelled. We all looked to see him standing at the bottom of the stands. I waved at him and Alexis smiled. Morgan was standing next to him holding his hand. She was dressed in a deep red school uniform skirt and a white blouse that was unbuttoned on the top two buttons. She had her hair up in a pony tail and a duel disk on her other arm. Mark leaned down and kissed her quickly on the lips before coming up to meet us. She waved at us and walked over to the Ochi City dueling team.

"Oh yeah! I forgot Morgan was on the team!" Mindy said. She pulled out a camera and took a picture of Morgan. She was talking to a boy with brown hair and bright purple eyes. He was wearing white slacks and a deep red dress shirt. His two top buttons were also unbuttoned and he also had a duel disk on. His sleeves were cuffed up above his elbows. He had his arms folded across his chest as he talked to her.

"Is that Zac?" Alexis asked me. I nodded.

"Yup." Mark reached us by now. He took the spare seat behind me.

"What's up?" I shrugged.

"Nothing much, just here to watch the tournament." He nodded and folded his arms across the top of my seat.

"Are you sure you should be here?" I frowned at him.

"Yes I'm sure, they won't recognize me," I assured him. Mark narrowed his eyes at me.

"I recognized you." I chuckled.

"Yeah, because I have the most beautiful girl hanging on my arm," I said smiling. Alexis blushed and looked away from me. Mark chuckled.

"Sorry dude, but I have the most beautiful girl." I smiled and waved my free hand in a dismissing manner.

"Whatever dude, it doesn't matter." Mark shot back with his hands still folded on the top of the chair.

"Hey! The dude thing is my stick!" I started laughing and looked back at Mark.

"Your stick?" I said still laughing. He stuck his tongue out at me and leaned back against his chair, folding his arms across his chest. Alexis pulled herself closer to me and rested her chin on my upper arm, looking at me. I looked down at her. "Yes?" She shrugged and turned her head to look down at the floor. I chuckled and kissed the top of her head.

"Welcome everyone to the Duel Monsters National Championship!" the announcers down on the platform said into a microphone. The crowd started cheering. "Let's get this party started!"
