Secret or Misconception?

by KlonoaDreams

AU Jaden Yuki goes through life at Duel Academy…however, not all is what Jaden seems to be. Why do the guys feel awkward around Jaden? Is this Osiris Red holding a secret? Is it really a secret when all you actually had to do was ask? Fem!Jaden fic with a side of unintentional reverse-harem. DON'T ASK ABOUT PAIRINGS. STOP ASKING ABOUT UPDATES. THIS IS ON HIATUS! READ THE SUMMARY.

15. Turn 15

A/N Warning! This chapter contains singing and blackmail. Read on your own accord and BTW…I do NOT own any of these songs! I am NOT that smart to write songs and they're Vocaloid so there! Anyways…yeah, go on and I'm not giving you the names of the songs, so guess! And BTW, they're either sung by Kagamine Rin or Megurine Luka except for one since about just every Vocaloid, UTAU, and such... has one.

Chapter Fifteen

When She Regretted Jumping Off That Balcony…

The moment the girls made their way back to Asuka's room, they claimed the whole room as their own territory (much to Asuka's dismay). Junko and Momoe pushed the furniture up against the walls save for the bed, which they just kept there. Jaden and Asuka helped by covering the whole floor with every blanket and pillow in the entire linen closet after getting permission from Ayukawa. After they were done, Jaden sighed and plopped back down onto the soft, blanket/pillow covered floor. She was still drenched, but hey, she was happy to have finally gotten away from Reizo and also rather content with the food she ate in the dining hall.

"Wow, you guys have it good with the food," said Jaden. "I'm stuffed…"

Momoe smiled and clasped her hands together.

"Glad you like our food!" said Momoe.

Jaden let out a content sigh and said, "I think I might enjoy spending the night with you guys."

Too bad Jaden's bubble was burst the moment Junko took out a yellow, lacey set of undergarments and tossed it to on top of the dual-colored brunette. Jaden looked at the matching undergarment, a bra and a set of panties. She looked at it distastefully before turning to Junko, who clasped her hands together and smiled.

"Aren't they wonderful?" asked Junko.

Jaden stared at Junko as if something was wrong with her.

"No," said Jaden.

Junko narrowed her eyes at Jaden and placed her hand son her hips.

"Well, too bad," said Junko. "That's the only set I got for you!"

Momoe nodded and picked up Jaden off the ground.

"You have no alternative~!" Momoe chirped.

Jaden looked around the room and focused her gaze on Junko.

"You put a lot of planning into this, didn't you?" asked Jaden.

Junko closed her eyes and nodded.

"Damn straight," said Junko.

Jaden's eyes turned huge and shone with unshed tears as she looked at Asuka.

"Asuka!" whined Jaden. "Help me!"

Asuka shook her head and said, "Junko, Momoe, you're scaring her…we wouldn't want her to jump out of the balcony again, now would we?"

Jaden blinked and looked over at the balcony door.

"Hmm…" said Jaden.

Junko crossed her arms and stared sternly at the dual-colored brunette.

"Don't even think about it," Junko said darkly. "And now that you've mentioned it…Momoe, go check if the bathhouse is empty! I'm going to lock the balcony door if any of you need me…"

Momoe nodded and let go of Jaden as she dashed over to the door. Jaden slumped back down onto the floor and bemoaned her misery.

Sometime later,

Jaden stood in the changing room wrapped in a towel, glaring through the steam at the nightwear and undergarments Junko set out for her. Junko was right, she had no alternative…all her clothing was currently being washed and she couldn't exactly stand there all day! But this was Jaden…she wasn't just going to give in that easily and let Junko win.

Said girl and her friends were currently changing into their nightwear. Junko wore a pale orange-colored pajama set that consisted of a short-sleeved, lace-trimmed shirt and shorts. Momoe wore a light, lilac-colored nightgown that went down to her knees. Asuka also wore a nightgown, only hers was slightly shorter than Momoe's and was a shade of powder blue.

Junko turned to Jaden and narrowed her eyes when she saw that the gender-mistaken girl was still wrapped in a towel.

"Jaden-kun, just get dressed already," Junko said, smugness in her voice.

Jaden diverted her chocolate brown eyes at Junko. The rufous-haired girl knew she was going to win, but this gender-mistaken girl wasn't going to give in!

"Yuki-kun does not give up!" Jaden thought as she stomped her foot, almost losing her balance on the tile-flooring.

Momoe turned her head to Jaden as she was toweling her black hair. She smirked.

"You can't wear that towel all night," Momoe taunted. "Hurry up, Jaden-kun! We have a lot planned out tonight!"

Jaden narrowed her eyes at Momoe.

"Look, if you're gonna rush me…" said Jaden. "I'm just gonna go even slower."

Asuka was wringing her long, dark-blonde hair when she overheard Jaden. Sighing, she continued what she was doing as she spoke.

"What would Daitokuji-sensei think when he finds out you jumped off the balcony to a three-story dorm into a lake?" asked Asuka. "Especially after what you've been through yesterday when you got into that little scuffle with those Obelisk Blues and fell into a thorn bush?"

Jaden tensed all her muscles as she looked down in defeat. She clenched her teeth and growled as she picked up the frilly undergarments.

In a chibi-like manner, Junko and Momoe tested out their first attempt at being the referees. Junko lifted up the whistle around her neck and placed it in her mouth as Momoe worked on the sign. The rufous-haired girl blew the whistle and helped her raven-haired friend hold up the sign with the current score of round 5. Momoe did a decent job giving the sign a cute and pretty look by writing in neat, elegant letters and drawing a few flowers just to add to the effect.

Round 5:

Asuka: WIN (Chibi-Asuka flicked her hair before crossing her arms, her expression stoic)

Jaden: K.O. (Chibi-Jaden held up the lacey undergarments as the top-half of her face turned blue)

A few moments later, Jaden was wearing the lacey, yellow undergarments and was currently staring at the pale yellow, slightly orange-tinged garment she held up by the straps. Her face contorted into one of disgust (much like the one she made when she first saw her padded bra) as she glared at the garment.

"Do you like it?" asked Junko.

Jaden turned her head to Junko, her eye twitching at the sight of the rufous-haired girl's grin.

"A chemise?" questioned Jaden. "What the hell, Junko?"

Junko giggled and jabbed her thumb over her shoulder at Momoe.

"Actually, Momoe picked that out for you," said Junko.

Jaden's jaw dropped as she stared at Momoe, who was smiling at the gender-mistaken girl. Finding no other solution, Jaden sighed and reluctantly pulled on the chemise. Afterwards, she tugged on the chemise she wore and stuck her tongue out in distaste at the loose-fitting, sleeveless garment that barely brushed the tops of her kneecaps.

"How could Momoe do this to me?" thought Jaden.

A few moments later in Asuka's room,

Jaden was pulled onto Asuka's bed by Momoe and forced into a proper sitting position onto her knees by Junko as the raven-haired girl opened a small box. Jaden blinked as Momoe held up glass bottles with different colored liquid in front of her face.

"What color do you want?" asked Momoe.

"Uhh…" said Jaden.

Junko grinned slyly at Jaden and held up two bottles in her hands.

"Red, to match your dorm?" she asked, holding up a bottle full of red nail polish in front of Jaden's face. "Or yellow, to match your underwear?"

Jaden's face flushed red as she immediately sputtered out, "R-Red, please!"

Junko and Momoe burst into laughter at Jaden's reaction. Even Asuka couldn't help but laugh along as she set up the television in her room.

Ten minutes later, Jaden absentmindedly placed her hand over her mouth and yawned as Momoe applied an even amount of red nail polish onto the last of her nails. Having cooled down from her earlier flustered state, Jaden was now bored…really bored. She flexed her toes a bit to make sure her foot fall asleep. However, this annoyed Junko as she was currently painting Jaden's toenails.

"Don't move!" snapped Junko.

Jaden sighed and closed her eyes.

"Are we done yet?" asked Jaden. "I'm bored!"

Momoe blinked as a thought popped into mind.

"Hey, Jaden-kun," said Momoe. "What were you doing with Misawa-kun?"

Jaden opened one eye as she looked at Momoe.

"Oh, he helped me out," said Jaden.

Asuka, having been bored and sitting on a pillow, was currently painting her own nails a pale, silvery-blue color when she overheard Jaden. (1) Blinking a few times, she smiled as she looked at her nails.

"That's right," said Asuka. "Misawa said something about almost dueling an Obelisk Blue for a date with Jaden. Any guesses who it was?"

Junko and Momoe stopped what they were doing as they went into a deep thought to who the Obelisk Blue was. A few seconds later, both girls and Asuka simultaneously said, "Fuwa-kun!"

Jaden groaned at the mention of the name.

"Don't remind me…" said Jaden. "At least I know Misawa wouldn't lose the duel."

Junko tapped Momoe on the shoulder and looked at her with an expression that suggested something. Momoe nodded and smiled as she finished applying the red nail polish on Jaden's nails.

"There…now don't move until they dry," Momoe said as she screwed the cap back onto the bottle. "Also…that's so sweet! Misawa-kun accepted the duel!"

Jaden blinked owlishly at Momoe.

"Of course he did," said Jaden. "I didn't have my deck…by the way, Asuka, can I have it back?"

Asuka blew on her nails and looked them over for any mistakes. Finding none, she placed the cap back onto the bottle before turning to Jaden.

"Not until tomorrow," said Asuka.

Jaden frowned as she waited for her nails to dry. Junko was finally finished and had just put away the bottle. Momoe propped her elbows onto the mattress as she lied on her stomach with her hands under her cheeks for support. She looked up at Jaden curiously after remembering about Shou and Hayato.

"What was it like rooming with two guys?" asked Momoe.

Jaden looked at her nails and blew on them before she replied, "Like having brothers."

Junko nodded and crossed her arms.

"Speaking of brothers…why does Shou call you 'Aniki'?" asked Junko. "Shouldn't it be 'Aneki'? Oh, you can move your legs, now."

Jaden stretched her arms and moved herself into a cross-legged sitting position before she used her hands to pull down on the hem of the chemise she wore. She closed her eyes and waved her hand at Junko.

"He's been calling me that since day one," said Jaden. "He looks up to me like an older sibling since Kaiser Ryou is never around for him because he's in Obelisk Blue and I'm the closest person he's got…"

Jaden scratched the back of her head.

"Speaking of Ryou, I bumped into him today," she added.

Junko and Momoe nodded as the leaned closer to Jaden, eager to find out what happened next.

"And?" they said.

Jaden crossed her arms and let out a puff of air.

"He didn't recognize me and thought I was confessing to him," said Jaden.

Asuka blinked and her lips formed into a small grin.

"Were you?" asked Asuka.

Jaden narrowed her eyes at the dark-blonde and shook her head as she waved her hands around.

"No," said Jaden. "I was running away from Reizo and his friend! I'm lucky Misawa was there to keep him away."

"Oi, Jaden-kun," said Junko. "Since we're back on the subject with Misawa and Fuwa-kun… What would've happen if Misawa and Fuwa-kun had that duel?"

Jaden closed her eyes and nonchalantly said, "Misawa would've won, no doubt!"

Junko gave Jaden an amused smile.

"Oh, really?" asked Junko. "So that means you're okay with actually going on a date with him?"

Jaden narrowed her eyes at Junko.

"What the heck, Junko?" said Jaden. "We're just friends!"

Junko nodded and looked at Momoe, both obviously not believing what Jaden just said.

"Riiight," Junko said sarcastically. "Then why does he call you, 'Ichiban-kun'?"

"Because I call him, Number 2," Jaden retorted. "Can we talk about something else, now?"

Momoe blinked and nodded as she got off Asuka's bed.

"I got an idea!" said Momoe. "Wait for me! I'm gonna pay Ayukawa-sensei a visit!"

Momoe ran over to the door and opened it. Reason as to why it wasn't locked with a key was because there was no point in it since Jaden had nowhere to go in nothing but a chemise. Which is why she was currently thinking, "Damn Momoe and Junko…"

A few moments later, Momoe walked into the room with Ayukawa, both helping each other carry a machine in their arms. Junko, Asuka, and Jaden watched as both girls walked over to the television and set the machine down. Ayukawa wiped her hands together before looking over at the four girls in the room.

"Okay, girls, try to have fun!" said Ayukawa. "And try to keep your curfew to at least 2 AM, I don't want you passing out from lack of sleep…understand?"

Jaden closed her eyes and plopped back onto Asuka's bed with her hands behind her head.

"No promises, Ayukawa-sensei!" said Jaden.

Ayukawa looked at Jaden and giggled.

"Jaden-kun…when you sit like that, everyone can see your panties," Ayukawa said before changing her tone to a teasing one as she added, "By the way, loving the yellow lace…"

Jaden immediately sat up and pulled down on the hem of her chemise as her face burned red. Asuka, Momoe, Junko, and Ayukawa all laughed as the Osiris Red began to stutter.

"S-S-Shut up!" snapped Jaden.

A few moments later of setting up,

Jaden blinked owlishly as Momoe and Asuka finished setting up the machine to the television. Junko was holding a small clipboard in her hand while she held a purple pen in the other.

"Okay, how should we do this?" asked Junko. "Who wants to be first for karaoke?"

Jaden blinked a few times before repeating, "Karaoke?"

Momoe turned to Junko and held her hand up.

"Ooh, I'll go first!" said Momoe.

Junko nodded and began to write down Momoe's name on the clipboard.

"I'm next, and then Asuka…don't object!" snapped Junko.

Asuka turned her head away from Junko and crossed her arms.

"You do know this is my room," remarked Asuka.

Junko looked up from her clipboard and countered with, "You do know I still have pictures of you in that idol dress… Sing and I'll make sure they never see the light of day."

Asuka blinked and clenched her teeth as her eye twitched slightly.

"Fair enough," Asuka said begrudgingly. "How the hell did she get pictures?"

Jaden blinked as she thought, "How the hell did Asuka get into an idol dress?"

Both their thoughts were interrupted as Momoe exclaimed, "I'm up!"

Junko nodded and looked at Momoe with a smile as the raven-haired girl held up the microphone in her hand.

"I really want to ask this…" said Junko. "Why does Ayukawa have a karaoke machine?"

Momoe lowered the microphone in her hand as she used her other hand to scratch the side of her head in thought.

"Hmm…not sure," said Momoe. "I think she said something about being bored and buying a machine for occasions like this…that or it was the previous idol who made her buy it. Whatever it was, I'm choosing this song!"

Momoe pressed a button on the machine, to which Junko immediately requested she turn up the music. Jaden picked up a pillow and covered her ears with it as Momoe began to sing. It wasn't that the raven-haired girl was a bad singer; no…it was that it was the fact that the song was a little bit too lively for Jaden's tastes…especially when it was paired up with Momoe's cheery voice.

"He-he-he-hey, hey, could you wait a minute?

If you're busy, sorry

Just a little, hey, a little while

I want to talk with you"

Junko pulled the pillow out of Jaden's hands and bopped the dual-colored brunette with it, leaving her slightly shaken as Momoe continued to sing.

"What can I do? What's the point

Um.. What game should we play?

Word games?

Daqui-"ri".. "Ri"-n

I'm sorry, I'm not very good at this"

Asuka laughed as Jaden tackled Junko off the bed for bopping her over the head. Momoe did as well as her laughing tone carried into her singing.

"Are you hungry? Want something to eat?

Umm... I... I don't have water"

Junko pinned Jaden onto the floor after making a remarkable recovery from the fall. Asuka was pretty much laughing as she recorded what was going on. Times like these were worth recording…especially since Junko was the one who requested it after handing Asuka the camcorder. This was something that was definitely going into the 'What happens in this room, stays in this room…' moments!

Jaden growled and returned the favor to Junko by doing the same thing she did to the dual-colored brunette after recovering from the fall. Both continued to repeat this cycle with Junko pinning Jaden back down onto the floor and vice versa, and so on! It was rather entertaining since Junko was actually showing off the side of her she rarely showed…especially since it just confirmed to what Asuka had said earlier about them being immature.

"Take your eyes off the monitor

I have to simulate distance

And yet I watch that idiot"

Jaden reacted to this lyric by snapping back, "Who's the idiot?" before getting thrown back onto her back by Junko, who replied back by saying, "That was a line from the song, Jaden-kun!"

Momoe laughed and continued on. She wasn't sure if she could keep up with her calm composure as she sang the song, but for what it was worth…they were making memories!

"My throat is dry and I can't speak

Sigh... What to do

I'm being honest, you see...

No good, it's as scary as ever"

Momoe held up her fist as she spun around in enjoyment, her nightgown twirling up a bit from spinning.

"I want to convey my feelings

Why is it so hard?"

A few moments later and an outburst from Jaden saying, "What does iced coffee have to do with rock, paper, scissors?" followed by a bop on the head with a pillow from Junko and a retort saying, "Shut up and listen to the song!"

Yes, this was a rather fun time they were having in just…almost three minutes.

"Wow," was all Asuka could say as she kept up the recording.

"Is this song over, yet?" Jaden exclaimed as she pushed Junko off herself and fixed the hem of her chemise.

A few seconds later, Jaden yelped as Junko tackled her back and said, "We're even now…agreed?"

Jaden sighed and diverted her eyes to the side.

"Fine!" she said.

Junko nodded and got off Jaden to adjust her nightwear.

"Oi, Asuka-san, can you toss us a bottle of water over here?" asked Junko.

Asuka nodded and opened the door to her mini-bar she had in her room on top of one of her dressers. She took out two bottles and tossed them over to Junko and Jaden before setting down another by Momoe as the raven-haired girl continued to sing.

"Hey, I, you're the one that I..

Hey, I, you're the one that I..

I, to you..."

Momoe began to stammer as she sang the next lyrics.

"Li, li, li-li, li-li, li... li

Li-li-li-li, li, li, li,li

Lii, sigh.. Sorry, I forgot"

Jaden was twisting the cap on her water bottle when Momoe's stammering caught her attention. She stared at the raven-haired girl, her eye twitching slightly as Momoe continued on.

"... Wait!

Li, li, li-li, li-li-li-li

Li-li-li-li, li.. li.. li.. li

Li, li, li-li, li-li, li.. li"

Jaden growled and tossed her water bottle at Momoe.

"Spit it out, Momoe!" snapped Jaden. "Stop stammering!"

Momoe managed to sing out the last line before the water bottle hit her in the arm.

"Like, I love you!"

THUD!

"Ow!" yelped Momoe.

Momoe dropped the microphone and rubbed her arm before she turned her head to glare at Jaden. Junko and Asuka (still recording) were trying their best to NOT laugh…seriously, they were. However, Momoe's reaction had Jaden diving under Asuka's bed with the raven-haired girl following after, causing both Asuka and Junko to burst into laughter.

"Jaden-kun!" exclaimed Momoe.

Some rustling here, some rustling there, and Jaden popped out from under the bed on the opposite side where she first was. She climbed onto the bed and snickered as a disheveled Momoe's head popped out from under the bed. Momoe shook her head and glared at Jaden before lunging at the gender-mistaken girl, who immediately jumped off the bed.

"Get back here!" shouted Momoe.

Jaden blinked a few times as she stared at Momoe's angry face and flailed her arms around before she immediately crawled under the bed, barely avoiding the raven-haired Obelisk Blue when she made an attempt to tackle the dual-colored brunette. Momoe laid on the ground with spirals in her eyes as Jaden's head popped out from under the bed. Feeling a bit devious, Jaden pulled down her eyelid and stuck her tongue out at a dazed Momoe.

"Nyah~!" taunted Jaden.

Momoe snapped out of her daze and shook her head before glaring daggers at Jaden.

"Why you—!" yelled Momoe. "Get back here, dammit!"

In a very childish way, Jaden held her finger up and said, "Never!" before diving back under the bed, to which Momoe followed after. This was so worth recording, in Asuka's opinion as Junko went to choose her song. Junko pressed the button and a piano intro began to start after a few moments. After the first few notes, the tempo and beat changed before Junko began to sing.

"Bright city lights shining

Cold ether lulling

I can't sleep at 2AM

Too many changes

Trying to ignite the lighter

But the fuel's burning in your stomach

If everything is a lie

I'm glad that we ever could be"

Asuka turned from where she had the camcorder directed on her bed to look at Junko sing. A sudden voice spoke to her startled her somewhat as they said, "Junko has a pretty voice."

Asuka jolted slightly and turned her head to her bed and saw that Jaden was sitting cross-legged on top of her bed with her elbows propped on her knees as she leaned forward with her hands under her cheeks for support. This popped a question in the dark-blonde's mind.

"Where's Momoe?" asked Asuka.

Jaden pointed down under the bed, where some rustling and muttering was going on as Junko continued to sing.

"I dreamt I was strangling you

In the light of the afternoon

Your throat was shaking

As tears welled within me"

The music silenced for a few seconds before immediately starting up as Junko began to sing the chorus, which in Jaden and Asuka's opinion, was rather done beautifully as the rufous-haired girl hit the high-notes perfectly.

"The fusion reactor is

What I dived into

There were beautiful blue lights surrounding me

The fusion reactor had

So I dived to them

So that no more would come to us"

Jaden and Asuka stared at the bed as rustling and some grunting came from under it. This popped another question in the dark-blonde's mind.

"What is she doing?" asked Asuka.

Jaden shrugged, "I dunno, but I'm not gonna check it out."

Asuka sighed and carefully lifted up the covers from the bed to see what was going on under the bed. And lo and behold, there was Momoe, strangling a…black, red-eyed dragon plushie? Asuka's eyes widened.

"Momoe!" exclaimed Asuka.

"I dreamt I was strangling you

In the spring breeze past the curtain

Your lips had dried up as you spoke

Words that bubbled out"

Jaden blinked at hearing the lyrics Junko had sung.

"Well, talk about coincidence," said Jaden. "How the heck can Junko stay so calm at a time like this?"

That was something that Junko even thought about it herself as she continued to sing.

Momoe turned her head to Asuka and looked down at what she was strangling before blushing.

"Oh, sorry, Asuka-san!" exclaimed Momoe.

Asuka nervously looked at the dragon plushie as Momoe took her hands off it and tossed it to her. The dark-blonde caught it and looked it over before sighing in relief. However, it was soon snatched out of her hands by Jaden.

"I didn't know you had a plushie of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" Jaden said as she held the plushie up before bringing it closer in an embrace. "Heh heh…soft…"

Asuka's cheeks reddened slightly with a blush as she looked away.

"I-It's Nii-san's…" said Asuka.

"The hand of the clock ticked away

Like a screen of the TV

But there is a person who I can't see

Still laughing at me

Allegro agitate

The sound in my ear doesn't stop

Allegro agitate

The sound in my ear doesn't stop"

Momoe crawled out from under the bed and looked at the plushie in Jaden's arms.

"So that's Fubuki-san's…he has one?" asked Momoe.

Asuka sighed and rubbed the back of her head.

"Yes…" said Asuka. "Jaden, can I have that back?"

Jaden blinked a few times at Asuka as she continued to embrace the plushie.

"Uh…can I say, 'Go Google it'?" asked Jaden.

Asuka narrowed her eyes at Jaden.

Few moments later,

Momoe giggle softly as she took the liberty of taking over Asuka's camcorder job as said dark-blonde was now in a game of keep-away with Jaden. The object of interest that was in the middle of the game and reason for Jaden's antics…Fubuki's Red-Eyes Black Dragon plushie and Asuka wanted that back!

However, since the girls were currently busy with something else, they didn't noticed how the music stopped momentarily until Junko let out a high-pitched shout that scared the crap out of them.

"Kyaa!"

Jaden and Asuka fell off the bed from surprise while Momoe just froze still in shock. Junko snickered before continuing the last lyrics of the song.

"The fusion reactor is

What I dived into

So now I can go to sleep at last

There has never been a morning

That I've ever felt much better than now

That all my work has been done forever

It really is that type of world"

Right after that last line, Junko burst into laughter, earning the attention of her currently disheveled friends. Asuka immediately adjusted her nightgown while Jaden fixed the hem of her chemise before distancing herself from the dark-blonde with the plushie in her arms. Asuka glared at Jaden, but stopped as Junko placed her hand on her shoulder.

"Your turn," said Junko.

Asuka inwardly groaned and mentally cursed the existence that is of the idol dress…

"Why does Duel Academy even need idols?" thought Asuka.

Asuka's thoughts were interrupted as the chorus began to start, indicating that she needed to get a move on or else she would never get rid of those pictures! Sighing, she got up reluctantly and gave Jaden one last glare before walking over to the karaoke machine. She bent down, picked up the microphone, and inhaled deeply before exhaling.

Jaden, Momoe, and Junko focused their attention on Asuka, to which Junko took the camcorder from Momoe to record what would happen next. Asuka diverted her eyes to the side in dismay.

"Great…they're recording," thought Asuka. "This better not leave the room…"

Junko grinned and waved her hand at Asuka as Momoe pumped her fist into the air.

"Sure!" said Momoe.

"As long as you sing," added Junko. "Now, sing, girl!"

Asuka sighed as she sweat dropped before reluctantly beginning to sing.

"It came to mind in the early morning yesterday

As if I gathered broken pieces of glass

What could this be? Dripping from my cut finger

Is this what we really hoped for?"

Jaden sat herself in a cross-legged sitting position on Asuka's bed as she continued to gently squeeze the plushie in her arms while she watched Asuka sing.

"Wow…" said Jaden. "Asuka also has a pretty voice…"

"I knew it at the bottom of my heart,

The hardest choice would be the best

My self-love refuses it and repeats self-contradiction

When can I tell it to you?"

Jaden blinked as a bright flash momentarily blinded her. She rubbed her eyes and turned her head to look for where the source of the flash came from. She glared at culprit, who just so happened to be Momoe with a camera in her hand, wearing a devious grin on her lips.

"Sorry, Jaden-kun, but you look so cute~!" Momoe said as a small blush tinged her cheeks.

Jaden narrowed her eyes and went back to embracing the Red-Eyes Black Dragon plushie as Asuka continued to sing.

"In the slowly decaying world,

I'm struggling but it's the only way

Engraving your faded smiles, I pulled out the plug"

Asuka inhaled deeply for the next part as she raised her voice.

"I screamed with my hoarse voice,

The echoes and reverberations resonate in vain

Nothing is left at the end of the unchained me

Coincidences that joined us

Degenerates into the dark and breaks into pieces

"No matter what we do, life is just like that" I mumbled

Somebody's tears flow down dried cheeks"

Asuka crossed her arms as the chorus began to play again. Junko was grinning as she continued recording Asuka. Momoe placed her finger on her lips in question as she looked at the dark-blonde Obelisk Blue.

"I wonder why Asuka-san didn't take up the 'Idol Training Course' offer…" said Momoe. "She has a beautiful voice…"

Junko took out a few pictures from her pockets and handed them to Momoe and Jaden. Jaden took one of the pictures and looked at them. The pictures were of Asuka with her hair up in a high ponytail with a light, orange-colored big ribbon. She wore a short, fuchsia-colored dress with a ruffled shirt that fit her curvy-physique like a second skin and had on a pair of white gloves on her hands. Around her neck was a lace-trimmed choker with a golden heart-shaped pendant and on her leg was a garter that held a similar design to the choker.

Asuka didn't look pleased in that dress…especially since she was using her hands to cover up her cleavage that the dress's low-neckline showed off. Jaden immediately knew the exact reason Asuka refused the offer to become the Academy's next idol. One…was the dark-blonde was a quiet and reserved girl, so singing in front of many people was out of the question…dueling was just exception! And two…just because she was a well-endowed girl with a figure most of the girls in Obelisk Blue were jealous of, didn't exactly mean she was comfortable flaunting off her curvy-physique in that dress to the Academy!

"Of course!" exclaimed Jaden. "That makes perfect sense!"

Junko and Momoe stared at Jaden strangely for the random outburst she just made. Unbeknownst to both girls and Asuka, Jaden had managed to smuggle away the picture into the pillow she sat on. She wasn't just gonna let that picture get destroyed! Jaden rather enjoyed how Asuka looked in it…plus, she got a feeling that one of these days she was going to need it for blackmail or something like that.

"That'll teach you for using my balcony jump as blackmail!" Jaden thought as she smiled smugly.

Asuka shudder slightly at a rather strange ominous feeling, but shook it off as she went back to singing.

"Yesterday's tranquil night made me realize

It is useless to pick up fallen petals

Because they will never bloom again

They're tiny and dead on my palms

Our time stopped long ago"

Jaden sighed and embraced the Red-Eyes Black Dragon plushie again. She really liked it…and Junko could see that as she focused the camcorder on Jaden. Jaden blinked a few times before narrowing her eyes and pushing away the camcorder with her hand.

"Get that thing out of my face!" snapped Jaden.

Junko and Momoe laughed at Jaden's reaction, as did Asuka, though only a bit. She still had lyrics to sing and pictures to get rid of afterwards…

Jaden dived under the bed with the plushie in her arms as Momoe took out the camera again. There was no way in hell she was gonna let that Obelisk Blue take another picture of her! Junko laughed and directed the camcorder under the bed as Momoe crawled under it with a currently growling Jaden, who was baring her teeth at the raven-haired girl. Asuka mentally thanked Jaden for making a scene that changed the camcorder's focus from her to the Osiris Red.

"With this continuously gloomy relationship

Sadly, I can't change my mind

I still love you, I don't want to be apart from you, but I have to tell you"

Jaden dashed out from under the bed after a few flashes and clicks from the camera in Momoe's hands. The dual-colored brunette rubbed her eyes before climbing back onto the bed with the plushie still in her arms. Junko patted Jaden's head, earning a glare from the gender-mistaken girl before she went back to gently squeezing the plushie in her arms. It was there, Junko changed the camcorder's focus back on Asuka, much to her dismay.

"It's raining heavily in my mind

I'm stunned, I'm standing dead, and my vision is blurry

Despite my determination, the pain is still penetrating

The bond between us has come apart and is dying away everyday

Goodbye, my sweetheart, it's over

We have to leave without turning back"

Jaden rubbed her eyes as they began to water, as did Momoe and Junko wiped away a tear that slid down her cheek as she said, "So…beautiful."

Jaden nodded and added, "Yet, sad…"

Momoe closed her eyes and clasped her hands together as a blush tinged her cheeks.

"If a boy ever breaks up with me, I hope he sings this song to me!" said Momoe.

Jaden arched her eyebrow at Momoe.

"Why?" asked Jaden.

Momoe smiled and looked at Jaden.

"Unless he doesn't want me making a big deal out of our break up, then he sings!" Momoe said, pumping her fist into the air. "It gives a better reason to why he wanted to break up!"

Junko turned her head to Momoe and grinned, "Smart…good thinking, Momoe!"

Momoe laughed and rubbed the back of her head. Asuka sweat dropped at her roommate's remarks…and almost fell back anime-style when Jaden exclaimed, "Wait! This song's about a break up?"

How dense can you get? That was what Momoe and Junko were currently thinking.

THUD!

Jaden pulled off the pillow on her face that Asuka had thrown directly at her. She glared at the dark-blonde, who was giving off an innocent look as she focused her attention on the lyrics.

"Just once, just once

If I could have my wish granted

I'd be born again and again to go see you on those days"

Unbeknownst to Asuka, Jaden was sneaking up on the dark-blonde with a pillow in hand. Fortunately for Asuka, Junko pulled Jaden away and bopped her over the head with the pillow she was once holding in her hand.

"I screamed with my hoarse voice

The echoes and reverberations resonate in vain

Nothing is left at the end of the unchained me

The bond between us has come apart and is dying away everyday

Goodbye, my sweetheart, it's over

We have to leave without turning back

It's all over"

The chorus began to play again for a few times before ending with one last "Just be friends", to which Asuka sighed and looked at her friends.

"There you have it," said Asuka. "I sung the perfect break up song…happy?"

Junko smiled slyly and nodded, "Very…Jaden-kun, you're next."

Jaden was currently planning her next sneak attack on Asuka with a pillow while continuing to embrace the Red-Eyes Black Dragon plushie when she heard Junko. It took her a few moments to comprehend what was just said. So most reasonably, her reaction would've been this:

"No, no, no…NO!" Jaden said as she shook her head and waved her arms around.

Few moments later,

After some…persuasion from Junko, Jaden was now by the karaoke machine holding the microphone in her hand while she kept her arms around the plushie Asuka wanted back. Jaden giving Asuka back her brother's plushie…pfft, that's not happening! She needed something to hide behind right now!

"Curse me and my balcony jump…" muttered Jaden. "Okay, so what do I do?"

Jaden narrowed her eyes at Junko as the rufous-haired girl focused the camcorder on her.

"Just push the button and sing the lyrics," said Junko. "I've already chosen a song for you."

Jaden sighed and shook her head.

"This better not leave the room…" said Jaden.

Asuka was currently looking at Junko with a stern expression.

"Oh, this isn't!" said Asuka. "I'll make sure of that!"

Junko waved her hand at Asuka as she continued to look at Jaden.

"Sure, Asuka-san," said Junko.

Momoe stretched her arms and looked at her friends.

"Hey, it's almost Valentine's Day," said Momoe.

Jaden blinked and immediately started to stutter as she looked around. She spotted the button on the karaoke machine and thought for a few good seconds before sighing and giving in.

"At least it's probably better than this…" thought Jaden. "Oi! I'm going to sing!"

That got the Obelisk Blue girls full attention, leaving the Valentine's Day comment from Momoe forgotten…or at least momentarily as Jaden began to sing.

"Everything about you now,

I~ love but that's a lie

But what happens actually…

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm~ Mmm

Everything about you now,

I~ hate but that's a lie

Because I actually…

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm~"

Momoe clasped her hands together as she looked at Jaden.

"Aww, she sounds so cute…" said Momoe.

Asuka turned her head to Momoe and pushed a pillow into the raven-haired girl's face to silence her. Momoe reacted to this by immediately bopping Asuka in the head. Junko sighed and shook her head at her roommates before turning her head to Jaden. Ever since Momoe popped up the Valentine's Day topic, an idea began to form in Junko's mind involving a certain gender-mistaken Osiris Red…

"I can't speak honestly

It's too challenging for me

So I keep on lying with a catty hat

I don't know when she came, but I feel her inside of~ me

e-to, I~ said, e-Toeto"

Jaden looked down and tightened her embrace on the Red-Eyes Black Dragon plushie in her arms as the stares from Asuka, Momoe, and Junko were starting to get to her. Had this been a different situation which didn't involve her singing and blackmailing her…Jaden would've been having the time of her life! However, luck decided to screw with her and have her do the exact opposite that was just mentioned… At least Jaden had a plushie to tease Asuka with as she gently squeezed it…

"What's important to her, she can't communicate it. That's her name, Toeto

She's a timid girl, too shy to speak to you, so that's her Toeto

She has hidden herself now"

Talk about coincidence or irony for all that matter (whatever it was), Jaden was beginning to feel like hiding herself…but no such luck. She didn't want to end up with an angry phone call from her dad if he ever found out about her balcony jump so crawling under the bed was not an option. Taking a deep breath, Jaden continued to sing.

"I really want to tell you my~ feelings from the heart

Hesitantly, Toeto said no to that proposal

I can say it, I'll say it, I am saying, but not said

e-to e-to, I mean e-to, I meant e-Toeto

Red-faced Toeto

e-to e-to cetera"

Asuka stared at the Red-Eyes Black Dragon plushie Jaden held in her arms. She had a very good feeling that getting it back would mean she would have to go through Jaden's clingy and stubborn persistency over the plushie…hold on a moment!

"Since when was Jaden the clingy-type?" thought Asuka. "Jaden, can I have that back?"

Jaden poked her tongue out of her mouth at Asuka, and turned away from her. Asuka closed her eyes and shook her head.

"Oh, real mature, Jaden," Asuka said dryly.

Jaden rolled her eyes.

"Says the girl who overreacts when I take away her Golden Egg Bread," Jaden thought as she continued to sing. "At least it's almost over…"

"She is regretful and begins to cry

"It's all because of me" she said. Toeto

There is no such thing, you know. Please stop crying, Toeto

I love that part of you, from~ head to toe

I really want to tell you my~ feelings from the heart

Hesitantly, Toeto

I can say it, I'll say it, I am saying, but not said

e-to e-to, I mean e-to, hang in there Toeto"

Jaden sighed once more and was beginning to feel a lot better now that the song was almost over. Right now, all she just hoped for if her friends didn't want to get whacked…with a pillow, they would stop the singing and do something else that was more productive…like dueling!

"At the time I really really want to tell you how I feel

Hesitantly, Toeto will also bravely reach you

I can say it, I'll say it, I am saying, but not said

e-to e-to, I mean e-to, hang in there Toeto

There she is inside of me

Hang in there Toeto"

Jaden blinked and dropped the microphone as she bent down to pick up a pillow.

"Unless you don't want to get whacked, Momoe…I want to duel you!" said Jaden.

Momoe blinked as Jaden pointed at her.

"Huh?" said Momoe. "Why?"

Jaden turned her head to the side and tightened her embrace on the plushie in her arms slightly.

"I dueled Asuka before, why not you?" asked Jaden. "I want to see what you've got."

Momoe blinked a few times and nodded as she got off Asuka's bed.

"Sure, let me go get my deck," said Momoe.

Momoe ran out of the room as Jaden nodded in approval before turning her head to Asuka.

"Asuka, can I have my deck back, now?" asked Jaden.

Asuka crossed her arms and closed her eyes.

"Only if you give me back my Nii-san's plushie," said Asuka.

Jaden frowned and stared at Asuka before finally complying with the dark-blonde's request after a full five minutes, by then, Momoe was waiting for the Osiris Red to get her deck out.

Sometime later,

Momoe frowned as she picked up her cards off the bed.

"I can't believe I lost…" said Momoe.

Jaden gave the raven-haired girl an ecstatic grin as she pointed two fingers at her and winked.

"Gotcha!" said Jaden. "That was sure a fun duel! I didn't know you had Swords of Revealing Light!" (2)

Momoe blinked and turned her head away from Jaden.

"Well, now you know!" said Momoe. "If you want, I'll trade you it for your Winged Kuriboh…"

Jaden's eyes widened as she immediately picked up Winged Kuriboh's card and held it close to herself.

"Not a chance!" said Jaden.

Winged Kuriboh appeared on Jaden's shoulder, staring sternly at Momoe.

"Kuri kuri!" said Winged Kuriboh.

Jaden nodded in agreement.

"You said it!" thought Jaden.

Momoe clasped her hands together and looked pleadingly at Jaden.

"Aww, c'mon!" pleaded Momoe. "I'll throw in my Silent Swordsman cards along with Swords of Revealing light! And I know you found Silent Swordsman LV3 adorable!"

Jaden turned her head to the side as a small blush tinged her cheeks.

"So, what if I did find Silent Swordsman LV3 adorable?" asked Jaden. "Besides, I already have a Swords of Revealing Light card somewhere in my deck."

Winged Kuriboh reacted to this by bopping Jaden over the head with his paw. Jaden flinched and rubbed her head as she glared at her winged furball partner.

"Kuri kuri!" exclaimed Winged Kuriboh.

Jaden rolled her eyes as she thought, "Jealous, much?"

Junko picked up a card from Jaden's deck and looked at it.

"Well, looks like Silent Swordsman LV3 has some competition with Hero Kid," said Junko. "I'll give you my Harpie's Brother for one of your Hero Kids."

Jaden growled and snatched the card out of Junko's hand.

"No!" said Jaden. "I am not trading any of my cards for yours!"

Junko crossed her arms and turned her head to the side.

"Oh, come on…you have three Hero Kids, what's one less gonna do?" asked Junko.

Jaden bared her teeth at Junko as Winged Kuriboh perched himself on top of his partner's head.

"Everything!" retorted Jaden. "My Trap card, Miracle Kids, is based on the three Hero Kids I have! Miracle Kids let's me choose an opponent's monster to lose 400 ATK for each 'Hero Kid' in my Graveyard!"

Junko sighed and picked up another of Jaden's cards.

"Come on, Jaden-kun, you need Harpie's Brother in your deck," Junko said as she looked at the card in her hand. "Not to offend you or anything, but Elemental Hero Avian may be on par with Harpie's Brother in looks, but when it comes to strength…the latter overpowers your Hero!"

Jaden scowled at Junko and took the card out of her hand.

"What you said might have been true, but I never doubt my Elemental Hero's strength!" snapped Jaden. "I like Avian the way he is now and will always do!"

Unbeknownst to Jaden, Elemental Hero Avian was blushing slightly at the gender-mistaken girl's outburst as said girl held his card in her hand. Winged Kuriboh, on the other hand, noticed this and slightly puffed up as a vein popped out on his forehead.

"Kuri kuri!" snapped Winged Kuriboh.

Jaden blinked and looked up at Winged Kuriboh questioningly before diverting her gaze back on Momoe, who was still wearing a pleading expression.

"I'm not trading Winged Kuriboh," said Jaden.

Asuka, having been tearing up certain pictures, turned her gaze to her bed where her friends all sat on. She sighed and shook her head before walking over to them.

"What's going on?" asked Asuka. "You know what, never mind. I don't want to know…"

Asuka looked down at the cards by Jaden's side and picked up one. She turned it over and looked at it, her eyes widening in shock after staring at it for a few good seconds.

"Jaden…where did you get this card?" asked Asuka.

Jaden turned to Asuka and blinked before reaching for the card in her hand to look at it.

"Oh, someone gave it to me, why?" asked Jaden.

Asuka looked at Jaden with an astonished expression.

"Jaden, that card was a prize for winning the World Duel Championships," said Asuka. "It's the only one in the world…"

Junko and Momoe blinked before they both grabbed onto Jaden's hand to get a good look at it. Even Winged Kuriboh hopped down from Jaden's head to look at the card out of curiosity.

"Elemental Hero…Terra Firma?" both girls exclaimed.

Winged Kuriboh's fur bristled from Junko and Momoe's combined loud voices before he ended up falling onto a lone pillow. He shook himself before flying back to Jaden and perching himself on her shoulder.

"The card belonged to Kouyou Hibiki, a three-time Duel Monsters champion," said Asuka. "How did you get it?"

Jaden blinked and looked down as she absentmindedly patted Winged Kuriboh on the head. Asuka, Junko, and Momoe stared at Jaden, who continued to stay quiet.

"Jaden-kun!" said Junko. "Where did you get it?"

Jaden inhaled and exhaled before looking up at Junko with a smile.

"Kouyou-san gave it to me!" said Jaden. "And unbelievable as it may sound, it's true…"

Junko and Momoe were stunned and so was Asuka, though not as much as her roommates. She already knew about Kouyou after reading the note on Jaden's dress, which reminded her.

"I should show Jaden that note and the dress…" thought Asuka. "…Nah, maybe tomorrow, for now…there's something I want to ask."

Asuka tapped Jaden on the shoulder as the dual-colored brunette gathered up her cards. Jaden looked up at Asuka and blinked.

"Huh?" said Jaden.

"Jaden, how do you know Kouyou?" asked Asuka.

Jaden looked back at her cards and sighed as she continued to gather them up before placing them into a neat stack.

"Well, it started when I broke my leg playing baseball," replied Jaden. "I met him at the hospital where I was staying at the time. He's the one who taught me all he knew about dueling…"

Junko and Momoe nodded as they eagerly listened to Jaden. Asuka nodded and held the Red-Eyes Black Dragon plushie she had in her arms closer to herself. Jaden, having been planning on taking the plushie away, frowned and crossed her arms.

"So…what happened between you and Kouyou?" asked Asuka.

Jaden held up a card in her hand and smiled as it was Winged Kuriboh's card. Winged Kuriboh blinked and huddled closer to his partner as he began to nuzzle against her cheek affectionately. Jaden diverted her eyes on Winged Kuriboh and smiled as she finally answered.

"Kouyou-san dueled me one last time with his competition deck," said Jaden. "He made me put together a deck just for the occasion…"

Momoe lied on her stomach on the bed and propped her elbows onto the mattress as she placed her hands under her cheek for support. She looked up at Jaden as her curiosity was piqued, popping up a question in mind that she decided to voice.

"What was the outcome of the duel?" asked Momoe. "And what happened to that deck?"

Jaden picked up her deck and held it up to show Momoe, Junko, and Asuka.

"I still have it," said Jaden. "Had it since I was Elementary School…so it wasn't a surprise I lost."

Momoe and Junko looked at Jaden with slightly astonished expressions.

"You lost?" they both said.

Asuka sighed and shook her head.

"Honestly, this isn't the first time she's lost," said Asuka.

Jaden nodded and said, "Yeah, didn't you know I lost to Kaiser Ryou in a duel before?"

Junko and Momoe shook their heads, causing Jaden to turn to Asuka.

"You don't tell them much, do you?" asked Jaden.

Asuka crossed her arms and closed her eyes as she turned away.

"Pretty much," said Asuka. "Though, for a good reason I don't tell them…like when it came to your gender."

Jaden blinked and narrowed her eyes.

"You got a point, there," said Jaden. "Anyways, I was only 8 years-old at the time and still getting the hang of dueling, of course it wouldn't have been surprise I lost."

Junko nodded and rubbed the back of her head.

"So…what happened next?" asked Junko.

Jaden looked through her deck and parted it in half.

"Afterwards…Kouyou-san retired as a duelist," answered Jaden. "He entrusted me with his deck and…"

Jaden trailed off as she stared at one of the halved decks in her hand. Winged Kuriboh looked concerned at his partner and gently nudged her with his wing.

"Kuri kuri…" said Winged Kuriboh.

Jaden sighed and placed her deck back together again before rubbing her eyes a bit. Asuka's expression turned serious as she knew where this was going after remembering about the note and from what she had heard about Kouyou a few years back.

"Kouyou Hibiki is currently at the hospital," Asuka continued on for Jaden. "He fell into a coma not long after he had dueled you…isn't that right, Jaden?"

Jaden nodded and patted Winged Kuriboh on the head, earning strange stares from Junko and Momoe. Asuka turned to her wardrobe where she had kept the dress Jaden had received and sighed.

"Jaden, didn't Kouyou have a Winged Kuriboh?" asked Asuka.

Jaden looked up and nodded as she took out Winged Kuriboh's card again.

"Yeah…but the Winged Kuriboh I have isn't his," said Jaden. "I gave him back his Winged Kuriboh a few weeks before the entrance exams…"

Momoe looked questioningly at Jaden.

"Why Winged Kuriboh?" asked Momoe.

Jaden smiled and replied, "Because it was his favorite card."

Junko stared at the Winged Kuriboh card in Jaden's hand and blinked.

"Hold on…if that's not Kouyou's Winged Kuriboh, then where did you get it?" asked Junko.

Jaden blinked a few times and smiled ecstatically.

"He was a gift," said Jaden. "I got him from someone I bumped into on the way to the entrance exams."

Asuka arched her eyebrow at Jaden as a question popped up in mind.

"And that someone you bumped into was…?" asked Asuka.

Jaden closed her eyes and grinned widely.

"From the Duel King, Yugi Mutou!" answered Jaden. (3)

---

Meanwhile in a place that is NOT the TOOLSHED,

A loud exclamation from Junko, Momoe, and Asuka could be heard from outside the girls' dorm whilst their voices echoed through the halls of said dorm, saying, "WHAT?"

---

Back inside Asuka's room,

Jaden rubbed her ears as Asuka, Momoe, and Junko stared at her, all three very much shocked. Winged Kuriboh lied nestled in Jaden's arm with spirals in his eyes, having been startled by the girls' loud voices and falling off of his partner's shoulder.

"Gosh, you didn't have to that loud…" Jaden muttered as she rubbed her ear. "Dear Ra, my ears!"

Winged Kuriboh couldn't agree more…

"Kuri… kuri…" he moaned.

After one necessarily long recovery from shock and explanation with questions answered (A/N That the authoress was too lazy to type…XD),

Momoe and Junko were up by the karaoke machine, both about to sing a duet together. Asuka and Jaden couldn't be any more annoyed…why? Pfft…they were next and Jaden did NOT want the Valentine's Day topic to be brought up again! Neither did Asuka since apparently, that would remind her of the many guys who expected and wanted chocolate from her.

"When will they learn I only give chocolate out to my friends?" thought Asuka.

…Sigh.

"I don't think they'll ever learn…" Asuka thought as she shook her head.

Jaden sighed and patted Winged Kuriboh on the head. Despite her partner not having a solid form, Winged Kuriboh could still feel Jaden's touch, much like how she felt him when he nuzzled or hit her. Even though she couldn't exactly hug Winged Kuriboh, his presence and current purring was enough for her (as well as the pair of yellow shorts Asuka lent her)…hold on!

"Winged Kuriboh can purr?" Jaden thought as a devious grin formed on her lips. "I wonder if he has a spot…"

Out of curiosity, Jaden gently scratched Winged Kuriboh right in between where his wings were on his back. This immediately got Winged Kuriboh nuzzling affectionately against Jaden as his purring continued.

"Oh, yeah…he does!" thought Jaden. "Cute~!"

It took all of Jaden's willpower to keep herself from squealing out at Winged Kuriboh's current adorable behavior. Meanwhile, both Junko and Momoe had agreed on the parts to the song they were singing before pressing the button.

A/N Okay, this is one of my favorite songs and a lot of you should recognize this, if not…look it up on YouTube, dang it! Momoe Junko Both…now read on!

"The number one princess in the whole world"

A set of different lyrics appeared on the television, to which Junko and Momoe smiled and nodded at each other.

"You should know by now how to please me" "I know that and it's why you are my"

"OK?" "Bride"

Asuka and Jaden looked at their friends, somewhat awed with their singing being in harmony. No longer fearing the threat of blackmail, both girls were beginning to enjoy this sleepover…finally.

"First off"

"You should know when my hair got cut right down to the inch" "You got a new haircut? Let me congratulate you"

"Second off"

"You should know when I wear a brand new pair of shoes, get it?" "Are those new shoes? They're great on you"

"Third off"

"For every word I speak to you, I expect three words in reply" "Only a word you say, but there's no need to drag on"

"If you understand" "I understand"

"My right hand feels rather empty so hold it!" "Your hand is empty, so should we hold them?"

"Nothing said" "So stubborn"

"That could be really all that selfish I'm sure" "Is that tough act you try to uphold"

"I only want you to think that I'm super-cute.." "You don't need to worry at all"

"Truly and genuinely" "You're always cute"

Jaden and Asuka narrowed their eyes at the lyrics Momoe and Junko sang.

"That sounds like something they would so say," remarked Jaden.

Asuka nodded.

"I feel slightly sorry for the boys who date them…" said Asuka.

Jaden sighed and continued to scratch Winged Kuriboh between his wings.

"I seconded that mention," said Jaden. "Wow, we're getting along a little better now."

Asuka crossed her arms and nodded her head.

A few minutes later,

Junko and Momoe were about done with their duet that's song very much fitted their personalities and tendencies.

"..But I think that you're more dangerous" "..But I know that you're head over heels for me!"

"Aaa!

Check 1, 2…

Aaa!"

Asuka and Jaden fidgeted in their seats as the music came to an end. Great…they were next.

"It better not be a love song," said Jaden. "I've had enough of that with Momoe's singing."

Asuka nodded.

"I agree," said Asuka.

Momoe smiled and held up her finger.

"Don't worry!" said Momoe. "We already got a song for you two!"

Junko nodded and gestured at the karaoke machine.

"C'mon, Asuka-san, Jaden-kun!" said Junko. "We did a duet, now it's your turn!"

Asuka and Jaden looked at each other for a few seconds before caving in and sighing.

"Fair enough," said Asuka. "C'mon, Jaden…we gotta work together on this one."

Jaden closed her eyes and whined, "Do we have to?"

Momoe clasped her hands together.

"The song has the word, alchemy, in it!" said Momoe.

Jaden's eyes opened wide and she immediately dashed over to the karaoke machine, leaving Winged Kuriboh perched on a pillow on the bed.

"I'm in!" said Jaden.

Asuka arched her eyebrow at Jaden before getting up from her bed.

"I'm not going to ask," said Asuka. "Hand me the microphones."

Junko and Momoe gave Asuka the microphones they were holding. A few moments later, Asuka and Jaden stood in front of the television with microphones in hand. Jaden had just pressed the button, so the song was beginning to start…however, both she and Asuka still haven't decided on who sang which part.

"Okay…you go first," said Jaden.

Asuka diverted her light brown eyes on Jaden.

"No, Jaden, you're first," said Asuka.

Jaden pumped her fist into the air.

"I call minority on your seniority!" exclaimed Jaden. "You sing first since you're obviously meant to go first, senpai. You got to see the Pegasus' Island DVD first because of that, so it's only fair you sing first!"

Asuka scowled at Jaden for bringing up a good point.

"Damn minority…" thought Asuka. "Point taken…okay, I go first, but you keep to your lyrics and I keep to mine, fair enough—"

Junko interrupted Asuka, "Asuka-san, you're supposed to be singing, now!"

Asuka stuttered a bit before bring up the microphone closer to her mouth. Jaden nodded in approval and looked at Junko to mouth a 'thank you' to her. Junko smiled and right behind her back, she and Momoe secretly gave each other a high-five as Asuka began to sing.

A/N Once again, to differentiate the parts…Asuka Jaden Both, so there!

"Come! Let us begin the judgment of the trueness and falsity of the future."

Jaden lifted the microphone up as her part came up.

"Ah! Do not be tricked by the alchemy, promising eternal life"

Asuka blinked and smiled at the lyrics that popped up. She tapped Jaden on the shoulder and pointed at the screen.

"Guess who still has to sing?" Asuka asked in a slightly smug tone.

Jaden blinked and looked at the lyrics before narrowing her eyes.

"Stupid minority-pulling stunt," muttered Jaden.

Asuka motioned at Jaden as she said, "Go on, Jaden, we had an agreement."

Jaden huffed and reluctantly lifted up the microphone again to sing.

"The 'start' is a disturbance/chaos revived by a disappointment"

"Even if you do it again and create it again, the 'end' stays the same no matter how you do it"

"Ruler of the Night, King of Evil Spirits is destroyed by the sincere and honest scolding

A god copied from the molten taboo has already went to the side of oblivion"

"Parallel circuits, your ego (self) is charmed by a group of stars and breaks down

= in the end, it's going astray from the RULES of life"

"Even the life-controlling gods eventually disappear"

"Reason"

"Formula"

"Everything is bound to be overthrown."

Junko and Momoe were watching, both rather awed with how Jaden and Asuka could keep up with the fast lyrics and not mess up. Even the current singers themselves didn't know how, which is why Junko was currently recording them. Winged Kuriboh was currently bouncing about on the pillow he sat on, feeling rather happy.

Few minutes later with heavily questioning the ability to sing quickly without mistakes,

"Here! let us break the lock that is entangling the world"

"Here! let us put an end to the false eternity (fake loop), which is misunderstood as an extinguished ash"

"Let us wait for the people that follow us

the very people who are released from the chains of history"

Jaden and Asuka stood still as they breathed heavily, trying to catch their breath. The sound of a small applause from their friends caught their attention as they narrowed their eyes at Junko and Momoe. Jaden dropped her microphone as Asuka turned the television off as well as the karaoke machine.

"No more singing!" Jaden said as she walked over to Junko and Momoe. "I'm tired of having every moment…get that out of my face!"

Momoe laughed as Jaden pushed the camcorder Junko had focused on the dual-colored brunette away with her hand. Asuka sighed and shook her head as she made her way out of her room.

"Might as well get rid of the karaoke machine," thought Asuka.

After getting Ayukawa to help with moving the karaoke machine back and paying a visit to the vending machine down the hall with Momoe, Asuka and the aforementioned raven-haired girl walked back into the room, carrying a large amount of different snacks in their arms. The first thing Asuka noticed when she entered the room was that Junko was on her computer. Why Junko on her computer, Asuka wanted to know that very reason as she and Momoe dumped the packaged snacks onto her bed, where Jaden was on. Jaden, who was currently lying on her back, threw up the Red-Eyes Black Dragon plushie and caught every time it fell down as Winged Kuriboh lied on her stomach.

Jaden continued doing this and, as a result, ended up buried under the snacks Momoe and Asuka dropped on her. She yelped and immediately sat up, scaring Winged Kuriboh slightly as he fell into the pile of snacks. Jaden blinked a few times and looked around her before immediately picking up a box, smiling.

"Awright!" said Jaden. "Pocky!"

Jaden poked her tongue out as she opened the box and pulled out a stick of Pocky. Winged Kuriboh popped out of the pile he was buried under and shook himself before curiously looking over at the packages he sat on. He jolted slightly when he found himself face to face with the Red-Eyes Black Dragon plushie. Jaden laughed a bit as she munched on Pocky and picked up the plushie, earning a glare from Winged Kuriboh.

Winged Kuriboh glared at Jaden and huffed a bit when she patted him on the head. Asuka arched her eyebrow at Jaden and shook her head as the dual-colored brunette took out another stick of Pocky and bit into it.

A few moments later, Asuka's earlier question as to why Junko was on her computer was finally answered as said rufous-haired girl moved the mouse and clicked on something before turning up the volume.

No no, too bad boy!

Asuka inwardly groaned. She knew where this was going…especially since she knew this song. Junko stood up and ran over to Jaden, who was still working on eating the Pocky she had in her hand. Jaden looked up as she munched on a stick to see Junko holding out her hand.

"Let's dance," said Junko.

Jaden blinked and swallowed before replying, "Um, I'm not so much with the coordination and the—"

Junko's expression darkened as she grabbed onto Jaden's hand.

"I said, let's dance," Junko said as she pulled Jaden off the bed.

Jaden yelped and dropped the box of Pocky in her hand, spilling the contents out onto Asuka's bed. Winged Kuriboh looked curiously at the chocolate-covered biscuit sticks before caving in and munching on one. Taking a liking to it, Winged Kuriboh quickly gathered up the sticks and dived under the bed to eat in peace. Asuka was watching Junko as the rufous-haired girl made Jaden dance with herself before turning back to the bed to pick up the scattered Pocky sticks.

The dark-blonde blinked and scratched the side of her head in thought as she stared at her bed. The Pocky sticks were nowhere to be found…

"And wasn't Jaden just eating some a few seconds ago?" thought Asuka.

After a few moments, Asuka shrugged and picked up a bag of cookies as the music continued to play.

The words of crowds are on monitor

It's just like clouds in the blue sky

Why do you seem to be boring?

All right, the night is coming soon

Junko twirled Jaden around, to which the dual-colored brunette let out an exclamation in surprise. Asuka turned her head to them as she reached into the bag for a cookie after opening it. Momoe was currently looking through a collection of DVDs she just finished bringing in from her room. And Winged Kuriboh…was happily munching on Pocky in a rather adorable manner that would've made Jaden squeal at the sight of it.

I fly over the dimension

And then come close to you in motion

Gonna invite you to the new world

All right, baby are you ready?

I know you more than anyone in this wonderful world

I'm for real, Will you leave all to me?

You don't need to mind being afraid of all

So let's dance with me!

Spirals began to form in Jaden's eyes as Junko spun her around while they danced. Asuka and Momoe laughed at their friends as they continued to dance.

A few moments later,

Jaden lied on the floor on her back with spirals in her eyes, the song having ended and Junko releasing her hold on her wrist. After a subtle groan, Jaden sat up and shook her head before rubbing it.

"Junko…never again will I want you as my dance partner!" said Jaden.

Junko laughed and pointed at Asuka.

"That's what she said!" said Junko.

Asuka diverted her eyes on Junko as she chewed on a cookie.

"Please don't bring me into this," said Asuka.

Momoe popped up by Junko with a DVD case in her hands.

"Let's watch a movie!" said Momoe.

Junko took the DVD case out of Momoe's hands and looked at it, grinning afterwards.

"Sure," said Junko. "All right, girls, movie time!"

Jaden got up from the floor and looked at the movie in Junko's hand. Her eyes widened as she shrieked and snatched the movie out of the rufous-haired girl's hands before throwing it across the room. The movie landed safely in a pile of pillows.

Momoe, Junko, and Asuka all looked questioningly at Jaden as clenched her teeth, glaring at the movie.

"No…NO," said Jaden. "We're not watching that…I want it dead. Can we burn it?"

Momoe immediately reacted to this by picking up the case and holding it close to herself.

"No!" said Momoe. "I paid good money for this movie!"

Jaden crossed her arms and huffed.

"You should've asked for a refund when you bought Twilight," remarked Jaden. "Vampires don't sparkle, they BURN!"

Junko rolled her eyes and said, "They burn when their carcass is set on fire."

Jaden narrowed her eyes at Junko.

"Touché," said Jaden. "Still…we're not watching that movie!"

Asuka sighed and shook her head.

"Jaden…it's just a movie," said Asuka.

Silence and a glare…

"I'll let you borrow Nii-san's Red-Eyes Black Dragon plushie," Asuka offered.

Jaden immediately dashed onto Asuka's bed and picked up the plushie.

"I'm in!" said Jaden.

Winged Kuriboh popped out from under the bed and flew to Jaden's side. He bounced up a few times to get Jaden's attention.

"Kuri kuri!" said Winged Kuriboh.

Jaden looked at Winged Kuriboh as she opened another box of Pocky. Blinking a few times, she took out a stick of Pocky and handed it to Winged Kuriboh, who immediately started eating it. After a few moments, Jaden shrugged and started to eat a stick of Pocky herself.

Few minutes later,

"Hey, look!" said Jaden. "It's Bambi!"

Jaden pointed at the lone deer in the movie shown on the television screen. Junko snickered as she opened a bag of chips.

After some words spoken from the main character in the movie,

"Who the hell would miss blinding sunshine and heat?" asked Junko.

Jaden shrugged as she handed another stick of Pocky to Winged Kuriboh. Asuka arched her eyebrow at Jaden but shrugged and continued to eat another cookie. Momoe was the only one currently into the movie…well, somewhat because what she said next, had all four girls cracking up.

"We're gonna be all right, pet cactus," said Momoe. "We're gonna be all right…" (4)

A few more minutes later,

"I would so burn that truck the minute I get the chance to," remarked Jaden.

Asuka looked at Jaden as she opened up a bottle of Ramune.

"What is it with you and burning?" asked Asuka. "Don't tell me you're a pyromaniac…"

Junko held up three of Jaden's cards and scratched her head thoughtfully.

"Well, technically, three of her cards happen to be fire-based," said Junko. "We got Burstinatrix, Lady Heat…and The Heat…I'd say Jaden's just has some pyromaniac tendencies."

Jaden scowled and snatched the cards out of Junko's hand.

"Aw, who asked ya?" snapped Jaden.

Junko pointed at Jaden as she grinned.

"You did…just now," Junko replied.

Jaden scowled while she placed her cards back into her deck. Winged Kuriboh perched himself onto Jaden's shoulder and nuzzled against her cheek.

"Kuri kuri!" said Winged Kuriboh.

"Yeah, I still wonder how anyone could believe Bella's lying," said Jaden.

"Tell me about it," said Asuka.

Few minutes later,

"You know, I'd punch a guy if anyone ever did that to me," said Jaden.

Junko, Momoe, and Asuka all sighed and shook their heads.

"Jaden-kun, you'd punch a guy if he refers to you as 'chan'," said Junko. "I'm pretty sure you'd do more than just punch a guy if one ever kissed you on the cheek."

Jaden blinked and nodded.

"You're right," said Jaden.

A few more minutes later,

"And then he hops the truck and runs away," Junko said as she narrated what just happened.

"Slick," remarked Asuka.

Jaden nodded as she threw a piece of popcorn at the television screen.

"Next!" she exclaimed.

…not gonna bother with how long later it is.

Asuka opened a bottle of Ramune for Jaden as she continued to watch the movie.

"You know you're in Twilight when shady guys follow after you," said Asuka. "Which not long after, a sparkling vampire comes to your rescue in a Volvo."

Jaden nodded as Asuka handed her the opened bottle of Ramune.

"Heigh ho Volvo, away!" said Jaden. "Oh, thanks!"

Asuka nodded and looked at Junko, who was currently throwing popcorn at the screen.

"You're going to pick that up, right?" asked Asuka.

Junko nodded and said, "Oh, sure…right after this movie is over and to add to your statement."

Junko cleared her throat and threw another piece of popcorn at the screen.

"You also know you're in Twilight when a sparkling vampire read people's minds…" Junko said before adding, "…and when they lie for you."

Momoe reached into bag of popcorn Junko had in her hands.

"Honestly, Edward looked better as Cedric Diggory," said Momoe.

Junko, Asuka, and Jaden nodded and simultaneously said, "True."

…

"You know, this suspense is starting to get annoying," said Junko.

"I know what you are."

Junko nodded and said, "About damn time…"

Jaden plopped a piece of popcorn into her mouth and then another at the screen.

"Sparkly Vampire #1…speak," said Jaden.

"Say it…out loud."

Momoe scratched the side of her head in thought.

"Hmm…I'll think about it," said Momoe.

"Say it."

Junko threw another piece of popcorn at the screen as Momoe muted the sound.

"Gay," said Junko.

Momoe de-muted the sound as Jaden yawned and plopped another piece of popcorn into her mouth before giving one to Winged Kuriboh.

"Are you afraid?"

Junko muted the sound again and said, "Not really…I kinda find it hot. Now all we need is Jacob…"

"Just wait until New Moon and mute!" said Momoe.

Sound de-muted again and Junko narrates what happens next.

"And so, Edward drags Bella by the arm because he couldn't get a good grip on her hair," said Junko. "Then he zooms her up the mountain on a forcible piggyback ride and storms off into a single spotlight-er, sunbeam in an epic snit over what a monster he is."

Momoe added to Junko's narration.

"He must show her the horror of his being, a terrible secret…" said Momoe.

"Accompanied by the soft fluttering of wind chimes," added Asuka.

Jaden shrieked and covered her face at the sight of…a sparkling Edward.

"OH, DEAR RA!" yelled Jaden. "It sparkles! Ugh! My eyes…my eyes! It burns!"

And so Jaden fell off the bed, taking Winged Kuriboh with her because she was cool like that…

A few seconds later, all four girls burst into laughter at their narration. Asuka, feeling a little hyped up on Pocky, cupped her hands over her mouth.

"I am vampire!" exclaimed Asuka. "I defy the original vampire genre by sparkling in sunlight instead of burning! Hear me twinkle!"

"The horror!" added Jaden.

"You're beautiful."

"And the lies!" added Junko.

"Beautiful? This is the skin of a killer!"

"I knew it!" exclaimed Momoe.

Few moments later,

Momoe took over the job as narrator and cleared her throat, "And then they lie down, slowly, tenderly, among the flowers in his favorite meadow—"

"He has a favorite meadow?" asked Jaden.

SMACK!

Jaden glared at Junko after getting whacked in the face with a pillow as Momoe continued on "—and stare at each other, not touching, softly arguing who's prettier."

Junko took a sip of her Ramune before turning to the screen and grinning.

"Congratulations, Catherine Hardwicke," said Junko. "You have invented the sexless sex scene."

Jaden blinked and looked at Junko as she asked, "The what?"

"Moving on!" exclaimed Momoe.

Later,

"And thus, this is what provokes your boyfriend to question," said Junko. "'Is your dad going to shoot me?'"

Jaden munched on some more popcorn.

"Go Charlie with the shotgun!" Jaden said with her mouth full. "Awright!

…

"And now, whenever I hear thunder," said Junko. "I will think, 'Vampires must be playin' some baseball'."

"Vampire Baseball…no really," said Asuka. "No, really…"

Jaden threw a piece of popcorn at the screen.

"And Rosalie's out!" said Jaden. "Next—Holy Ra, they're here!"

Jaden clutched the Red-Eyes Black Dragon plushie in her arms as Laurent, Victoria, and James appeared on the screen.

"And this is why I will never play baseball in an open field in the middle of nowhere under a cloudy sky ever again," said Jaden. "You never know when vampires are lurking around, ready to pop out."

Junko looked at Jaden questioningly.

"Really?" asked Junko.

Jaden shook her head as she reached for a box of Pocky.

"Nope," said Jaden. "But I do know better than to play baseball when I hear thunder."

"You brought a snack."

Jaden's eyes widened at James before she looked at the box of Pocky in her arms.

"Damn!" swore Jaden. "He's onto me!"

Jaden immediately dove under the bed, dragging Winged Kuriboh, the plushie, and the Pocky with her. Junko, Momoe, and Asuka stared at Jaden, who was currently under the bed, for a few moments before bursting out into laughter.

Later after the credits roll,

Jaden stared at the screen, silent like the rest of her friends. A few moments had passed before she broke the silence by saying, "This was the worst movie ever…next one!"

And so began the Hayao Miyazaki marathon, starting with The Castle in the Sky due to having decided to save Princess Mononoke for last. By the time they've started watching Princess Mononoke, it was midnight and they were eating ice-cream. Somewhere in the middle of the movie, Jaden ran out of ice-cream and ended up with an idea in mind after spotting a nearby pillow. Grinning, she picked up the pillow and looked at her friends to choose the most unwary girl…which just so happened to be Asuka.

Asuka never knew what hit her until it came whacking her in the face. She yelped and turned her head immediately from the movie to glare at Jaden.

"Jaden!" said Asuka.

Jaden laughed at Asuka before getting whacked back in the face with a pillow. A grin formed on Asuka's lips as she stared at Jaden, who was currently disheveled and covered in some feathers. Jaden blew away a feather from her mouth and glared at Asuka before bopping her over the head with a pillow. Asuka scowled at Jaden and tried to hit her back, but the dual-colored brunette dodged and the dark-blonde ended up smacking Junko instead. Junko yelped and dropped her bowl of popcorn, which she was either eating or throwing at the characters in the movie she didn't like. Miraculously, the bowl of popcorn didn't spill its contents and landed safely on the bed, where Winged Kuriboh immediately jumped into it.

Winged Kuriboh nibbled on a piece of popcorn as he watched his partner dodge pillows from Junko and Asuka before whacking them over with her own pillows. Momoe didn't notice what was going on around her as she was too into the movie. Jaden tried to whack Junko with her pillow, but the rufous-haired girl dodged and the dual-colored brunette ended up hitting Momoe instead. Somehow, the pillow ended up ripping from the forceful impact it had against Momoe and as a result, it ended up spilling feathers all over the bed and said raven-haired girl.

Junko, Asuka, and Jaden froze as their breaths hitched. Jaden looked at the ripped pillow in her hand and hid it behind her back when Momoe looked at her. Momoe stared at the dual-colored brunette as she looked at her with a nervous expression.

"I-I'm sorry, Momoe!" stuttered Jaden. "I didn't mean to—"

WHACK!

Jaden blinked after a pillow hit her right smack in the face; courtesy of the raven-haired girl she just finished covering in feathers. Momoe grinned at the shocked look in Jaden's face. Jaden blinked again and shook her head, her expression now angry with a playful tone in her eyes.

"Oh, you wanna fight?" asked Jaden. "Bring it on!"

And so began a pillow fight that Winged Kuriboh was having an amusing time watching while he worked on the popcorn in the bowl. The fight continued on for at least thirty full minutes, Jaden and Momoe, at one point, both jumping on Asuka's bed as they whacked each other with a pillow each time they jumped up. During that time, Asuka and Junko were nearby the jumping girls, both doing the exact same thing Momoe and Jaden were doing, only without the jumping.

Asuka dodged Junko's pillow and decided to change her target to Jaden, who avoided the hit by jumping up. Jaden stopped and batted away Asuka's pillow as well as Junko's, leaving her open to Momoe as the raven-haired girl raised her pillow and whacked Jaden. Jaden yelped and ended up falling off the bed…but not without dragging Momoe down with her by grabbing on her wrist.

Both Momoe and Jaden yelled as they landed in a pile of pillows, sending up feathers into the air. Junko laughed and whacked them before getting hit herself by Asuka. Jaden shook her head and was about to hit Momoe when she looked at the movie that they had somewhat forgotten about.

"Hey, I think the movie's almost over," said Jaden.

Junko stopped in mid-swing and turned over to the television.

"Oh, crap!" said Junko. "Jaden-kun's right!"

And so that's how all four girls ended back up on Asuka's bed, sharing a carton of chocolate ice-cream Asuka had saved in the mini-bar for this occasion. The movie was going pretty good and had them at the edge of their seats once it reached its most dramatic point with the ensuring battle. Afterwards, once the movie was over, they began to talk about it over a bit before switching over to a different subject as they finished the last of the ice-cream.

"So, Asuka-san…who are you going to give chocolate out on Valentine's Day?" asked Momoe.

Momoe's question caused Asuka to swallow the ice-cream she had in her mouth a bit too fast. Asuka clutched her head as she went through a small ice-cream headache (AKA, brain freeze).

"Momoe!" exclaimed Asuka. "Don't surprise me like that!"

Momoe laughed awkwardly and rubbed the back of her head.

"Ehehe, sorry Asuka-san," said Momoe.

Junko blinked as her earlier idea popped up in mind again. She looked at Jaden and smiled.

"Oi, Jaden-kun," said Junko. "What about you?"

Jaden brought another spoonful of ice-cream into her mouth as she looked at Junko perplexed.

"Hm?" she said.

"Are you giving out chocolates to any boy you know or like?" asked Junko.

Jaden blinked and shook her head before swallowing to ask, "No, why?"

Junko gave Jaden a rather eerie and suggesting grin. Asuka and Momoe turned to them, having overheard.

"Why don't you give chocolates to your friends?" asked Junko.

Momoe nodded and added, "Yeah, you do have a lot of guy friends."

Asuka crossed her arms.

"It would be something nice to do after giving them a rather nasty shock when it came to telling them your real gender," said Asuka.

Jaden blinked and shook her head.

"No!" said Jaden. "I don't want them getting the wrong idea!"

Momoe clasped her hands together and gave Jaden a pleading look.

"Oh, c'mon, Jaden-kun!" said Momoe. "We'll even help you out!"

Jaden waved her hands as she shook her head.

"No!" said Jaden. "And even if I agree, where am I going to get chocolates?"

Junko placed her arm around Jaden's shoulders.

"You could always buy them…" suggested Junko.

Asuka blinked and smiled.

"Or you could always make them," said Asuka.

Momoe smiled and brought her fist down into her hand.

"Yeah, that way it'll be more meaningful!" said Momoe.

Jaden narrowed her eyes at her friends.

"How am I going to make them?" asked Jaden.

"You can use the Obelisk Blue kitchen," suggested Momoe.

Asuka placed her hands on her chin and said, "You can also use the Osiris Red dorm's kitchen as well…"

Junko raised her hand in the air.

"So, all in favor of Jaden-kun making and giving chocolates to her friends, say 'aye'!" said Junko.

Momoe immediately exclaimed, "Aye!"

And Asuka calmly said the same, causing Jaden to stutter as she was feeling ignored about her opinion.

"Then it's settled!" said Junko. "Jaden-kun, you're giving out chocolate to all your guy friends!"

Jaden frowned and put another spoonful of ice-cream into her mouth.

"I hate you…I hate you all," grumbled Jaden. "And I thought you were on my side, Asuka!"

Asuka waved off Jaden's glare as if it were a mere pout.

"Don't make such a big deal out of this," said Asuka. "I'm also giving out chocolates to my friends, so you're not the only one."

Junko nodded and held up her finger.

"Jaden-kun, try not to think of them as honmei-choko," said Junko. "Just think of them as…"

"Tomo-choko!" finished Momoe. (5)

Jaden blinked as Momoe looked at her.

"You are just giving them out to your friends, right?" asked Momoe.

Jaden sighed and nodded reluctantly.

"Fine…but you better not show me any more Twilight movies!" said Jaden.

Junko and Momoe nodded as they both said, "Deal!"

Asuka looked around her room and then the clock. It was half past one…and the room was a mess! Asuka sighed and shook her head.

"Okay, guys," said Asuka. "Lights out…we have a lot planned out later today as well as a mess to clean up after we wake up, so might as well get some rest."

Jaden blinked and slumped back down onto Asuka's bed, groaning in annoyance as she realized that she was going to be dragged into yet another day out with the Obelisk Blue girls…only this time…it was at least a full day!

"Aw, man!" whined Jaden.

Winged Kuriboh looked questioningly at his partner, having just gotten out from under the bed from when the girls ended their pillow fight. He perched himself next to Jaden's head and nuzzled against her cheek after sensing her dismay.

"Kuri kuri!" said Winged Kuriboh.

Jaden diverted her chocolate brown eyes on Winged Kuriboh and smiled as she gently scratched him in between his wings. Winged Kuriboh immediately purred affectionately at the dual-colored brunette.

"At least I still have you…" thought Jaden.

And so ended an activity-filled night as the girls got ready for bed while Asuka set up the alarm just to make sure they didn't sleep in too long. Too bad she didn't decide to tell Momoe and Junko about it…

It sure would have saved Asuka from a rather loud awakening later that day once the alarm clock started ringing, scaring the crap out of her friends since the clock happened to be exactly by them due to their sleeping locations on the floor. Would've also made Junko and Momoe think twice about where they chose to sleep...

---

A/N End of chapter and yes! It's finally up after five days…I get the feeling five days is beginning to be a habit… Anyways, many thanks to Hestic for helping me out with the sleepover since…well, when I have sleepovers with my friends, we go crazy, watch anime, or watch each other play video games while we switch every once in a while after boss fights. Yeah! And since I'm currently forgetful, I'm going to also thank Luving Randomness and of course, Reviewer #40, A Neverending Dream of Flight! Thanks for being my 40th reviewer as well as a helper! And who could forget Yuri n' Chuka, who's been the one giving me watermelons when heartlessneko wasn't able to due to being out of them thanks to rotten luck (damn you, luck!) the Narrator and was as kind to give me an extra! The Narrator and I are pleased…also, heartlessneko is now Super Daichi's sidekick, so that position is now taken! Damn…I wanted sidekick. Meh, I'll go for butler…what? WHAT? Yeah, I'm a girl, what of it? Just because of that doesn't mean I have to be the maid! ...I'll go get the dress…

Also, once I again, I bring up Kouyou and the age Jaden was at that time...I just made a guess because Jaden looked 8 at the time to me. As for Winged Kuriboh and him eating snacks...AU, people, AU! Don't question its capabilities, so ha!

NO FLAMES! Constructive criticism is a yes, reviews are just things that keep me happy…so who wants to help me reach 50 reviews? *gets slapped* OW! Okay, I'll just get on with the notes…

(1) When I'm bored, I paint my nails so why not give that habit to Asuka? Whatever!

(2) Momoe DOES have a Swords of Revealing Light card in one of her Tag Duel decks, so look it up on the YGO wiki if you want to know of Momoe and Junko's decks since I'm using their game decks!

(3) I will be now using 'Duel King' instead of 'King of Games' now that we're 15 chapters into this story…why? Saves me typing and I rather find myself liking 'Duel King' instead, so yeah…

(4) I DON'T own that quote! It's from Twilight in Fifteen Minutes, which I found out about thanks to Hestic (who also told me about the movie, Vampires Suck…I am SO watching that movie), and that's written by Livejournal member, cleolinda and not me! The same goes for the narration on Edward jumping the truck and Asuka's remark. Let me list the others as well…don't judge me!

I also use the "I said, let's dance' quote and the one before it, but that was because it fit and it seemed like something Junko would say to Jaden if she told her that.

"Heigh ho Volvo, away!" is another quote and the narration Junko made after Momoe muted the movie up to the point until Jaden was acting dramatic (that was me right there) is also own by cleolinda. And the "I am vampire!" and "Hear me twinkle!" is also owned by cleolinda.

And who could forget the 'meadow' part? The narration from there to the 'sexless sex scene' is not mine! And the last quote is "Vampire Baseball…no really. No, really…" also cleolinda's! Aside from that, everything else was made from my anti-Twilight mind and from a few comments on YouTube when it came to the 'thunder' part. And I hope this copyright thing shows up because I want to make sure everyone knows that I DON'T own those quotes and such. © 2008 Cleolinda Jones. This better show up because the credit goes to Cleolinda for making this comedy gold about Twilight…BTW, there's also New Moon and Eclipse in 15 Minutes so go check it out!

(5) Honmei-choko is chocolate given to loved ones and tomo-choko is chocolate given to friends. I looked it up, so there!

Also, one of the songs was the World is Mine duet...me, Hestic, and Luving Randomness would ALL have to agree that that song would SO fit a Dark Spiritshipping pairing. Due to that, I looked up an AMV on YouTube for such, but found none. Yeah...if I were to ever make one, I'd used Luka's and Gakupo's version of the duet since Haou looks like the tsundere type and Yohan (Johan, whatever!) to be open about his feelings for Haou. So yeah...never gonna happen since I don't make AMVs, but I DO hope someone makes it. *hint* Wink, wink, nudge, nudge...*gets slapped* Okay!

Please excuse me if anyone in this chapter was OOC and the karaoke (Hestic's idea and I liked it)! Also, sleepover's can bring out a different side to you…especially hyped up on sugar and such! And it was for comic relief…anyways, don't get angry for me splitting the chapter up again! I just realized one was a sleepover and the other, was the girls' day out, so yeah! Now because of this chapter, I want a Red-Eyes Black Dragon plushie…and I've also foreshadowed a bit on what will happen in later chapters and that's Valentine's Day! I wasn't gonna leave that out! Okay, if you want to know when the next chapter will be up, gugure kasu! Be patient! And that's about it!
