A/N: I have come to the conclusion of finding Noah's date through a random selection and came up with Blair. She's a MUNCHKIN compared to our 7'0" tall Bat-Boy. LOL. Anyways, here's the Homecoming Dance chappie.

Chapter V
Surrender From Far Away
"I'm so nervous." Raiden muttered as he fidgeted in his seat.
"Don't be," Matt replied, opening one hazel orb. "Things are gonna work out just fine."
Raiden made a face, "You're only sayin' that because you got crazy-gun chick."
Matt raised an eyebrow and replied, "Hazel can control nature, knows ten times more about weapons than you, and kicks butt in a fight. I'm not complaining." He said as he buttoned his dress shirt then unbuttoned it again.
"That's the fourth time you have done that. Stop it." Kiyoshi said from Matt's left.
Matt, Kiyoshi, and Raiden were all at the Red Dorm, getting ready for the dance. Matt wore a burgundy dress shirt with the cuffs rolled up, khaki dress pants, and a white t-shirt. Raiden looked more informal in a longsleeved black shirt, red hooded sleeveless shirt, and black jeans. Kiyoshi wore a black blazer, black pants, black shoes, and a white t-shirt.
"Door…" Matt said a second later.
The door was knocked on and Raiden answered it to find Syrus, Jaden, Jesse, and Tyranno. Tyranno was dressed in his uniform, since the stubborn Dino Nut refused to dress up for the dance. Jaden and Jesse wore identical outfits of t-shirts, vests, and jeans; Jaden in red and black, Jesse in blue and white. Syrus wore a longsleeved green shirt, a yellow t-shirt, grey pants, and his Obelisk sneakers.
"Thank dueling we didn't have to wear tuxedos." Jaden made a face along with Syrus at the thought.
Jesse looked out the window and growled slightly, "He better think twice 'bout hittin' on my baby cousin." He said protectively.
The other boys looked and saw Aster greeting Emerald. He wore his spotless suit and she wore a pair of black capri leggings, a thigh-length emerald green baby tee, and a black sash around her waist. On her feet were slip-ons and on her hands were fingerless gloves. She wore her hair in its long braid and a black fedora on her head. Jaden felt a small twinge of jealousy and shook it off.
"She'll be okay." Matt reassured Jesse.
"Yeah, once I get his hands off her." Jesse rolled up his sleeves and clenched his fists.
Rae came barreling into the dorm and huggled Jesse, "No attacking Emi's date!" She said sternly.
Jesse blushed as he looked Matt's twin over. She wore a spaghetti strapped orange and white polka dotted dress that fell to her knees and black flats. Her locks were worn in a traditional Japanese bun. Lilly and Arya came in shortly, looking for their crazy girlfriend.
"Found her." Lilly laughed.
Lilly wore a pretty violet dress that was off-the-shoulder and had black frills. Arya was in a shortsleeved black Goth-Lolita dress.
"K'van's with Virgil." explained Arya as Syrus went to ask. "Hazel, Alici, and Butterfly are all finishing up now."
Raiden made a face, "I'm gonna go and pick up Mindy. Come on, Kiyoshi." His roommate followed and passed just as Alexis appeared with Noah and his date, (surprisingly) Blair.
Alexis wore a white dress that reminded Arya of Cinderella's and Blair wore a pale red and orange stripped skirt, black top, and red flats. Noah was in a suit, which caused the other guys to either sweatdrop or laugh silently.
"Raiden doesn't want to see Al…" Jaden said quietly, watching said boy and Kiyoshi walking out of sight.
"It still hurts him." Syrus sighed, "Raiden really cares about Ali."
Hazel and Tyler appeared at the door, "Are we interrupting something?" the Native American girl demanded, placing a hand on her hip.
She wore a dark brown dress that covered one shoulder and brown slip-ons. Tyler shyly stepped into view, wearing a longsleeved black dress with silver ribbons criss-crossing over the bodice and it stopped above her knees. She also wore black and silver stripped tights and black converse. In her hair was a butterfly clip.
"Where's Al?" Jaden asked.
"She went ahead to meet up with Virgil." Hazel explained. "Shall we get going?"
Tyler took Syrus' arm gently and blushed as he smiled at her. Her wolf heart was pounding faster than before and she was trembling slightly.
"Onward!" laughed Jesse and Rae, before the group headed for the dance.
Homecoming Dance
Mindy sighed in happiness as she sat next to Raiden. People were dancing, some were dueling (hence the school they attend), others were conversing, and some were doing karaoke for fun. Atticus, Alexis' brother, was the DJ and was getting help from Adrian, Axel, and Jim. (Most people wouldn't dare approach the Aussie due to Shirley.)
"Are you having fun?" Mindy asked suddenly.
Raiden tore his eyes away from Matt and Hazel, who were leaning against the wall and just exchanging a word or two every so often, to look at the dark haired Obelisk next to him. She looked great in a strapless lavender dress but there was only one girl that had really caught Raiden's attention that night.
And she was currently dancing with Virgil…
"Yeah." He lied, not wanting to hurt Mindy's feelings.
Virgil and Alicia danced passed their table. Virgil was wearing a black and white stripped t-shirt underneath an open white dress shirt, black jeans, and his skate shoes. Alicia was wearing a blank tank, a hooded red zip-up belly shirt, a dark red denim mini-skirt, black leggings that went to mid-thigh, and grey combat boots. Her hair was left down except for two pigtails on the sides of her head. Dancing close to them were Lilly and K'van, who was dressed in a white longsleeved shirt, open midnight blue vest, and jeans.
"Hey, let's go talk to Raiden and Mindy." Alicia suggested to Virgil as they danced.
"Okay." He agreed.
They turned and started to head over towards them. Mindy was bursting and just as Alicia and Virgil neared, she leaned in, grabbed Raiden's arm, and pulled him into a lip lock. Raiden's warm brown eyes were wide in bewilderment at his first kiss.
Twitching slightly, Alicia managed to keep cool on the outside.
On the inside however…
'HOW DARE HER!! I'M GONNA KICK HER (BLEEP)ING (BLEEP) FOR STEALING RAIDEN'S FIRST KISS FROM ME!! THAT LITTLE (BLEEP)!!'
A/N: Apparently we have a very jealous tomboy on our hands… (sweatdropage)
Raiden managed to pull out of the lip lock and turned to see Alicia.
"Alley-Cat?" Virgil touched her shoulder.
Alicia took a deep breath, whirled around, and forced her way towards the exit.
"Alicia!!" Raiden leapt to his feet.
Virgil chased after the wildcat-girl, trying hard not to be glomped by some of the girls, and managed to find her outside, leaning on one of the statues, and hiding her face in her hands. Raiden showed up several feet right behind him.
"Hey," Virgil brushed her bangs out of her eyes and gently moved her hands. "It's okay."
Alicia sniffled, "I'm sorry."
Virgil paused as his eyes lingered on her lips. She jumped when she felt his hand caress her cheek. With wide eyes, Alicia suddenly felt Virgil pull her into a kiss. Her eyes shut and a deep blush covered her cheeks at this.
Raiden was twitching like mad, having his own thoughts that were too violent to even describe.
Virgil unlocked their lips and opened his mint green eyes, "I hope that'll make you feel better."
"V-Virgil…" Alicia pressed her hand to her chest and blushed even worse.
He hugged her tightly, "I care about you, Alley-Cat, and I don't like seeing you hurt."
Back at the Dance…
"You're having fun?" Syrus asked as he and Tyler shyly danced.
"Yes…" Tyler whispered. Her ears perked up as she recognized the song playing. "Especially since you're with me, Syrus… I feel safe around you…"
Syrus blushed as he thought about Tyler's words, 'Never thought I'd ever feel this way towards anyone other than Dark Magician Girl… but Ty sure is something special…'
The music changed to "Far Away" by Nickelback, a love song that made several girls squeal and scream their love to Atticus, the DJ.
Matt looked out at the dancers applauding after the song ended. His eyes lingered on Alicia and then Raiden for a few moments. 'That song was for you guys…'
Silence would've been welcome, but the island suddenly lurched, sending many duelists flying to the ground. Virgil steadied Alicia, to prevent her from falling, and Sheppard met all of their eyes, his saying one thing.
"Now… now's the time we have to prove we're warriors…" Alicia breathed softly.
End Chapter
A/N: Cliffhanger! I always manage one of those, don't I? LOL. Please review. No flames.
