Skye threw the sword from her, which Alexis saw, but decided to just forget it.
"W-what are you doing here?"
"I'm in the duel in the next city over, I heard rumors that Chazz lived here and thought you might be here too."
"Yeah, Jaden too."
"Really? They're still together?"
"Yeah, their 5th anniversary is in a few weeks. And I have suspicions Chazz is going to propose." Skye squealed then stopped. She and Alexis were not in a close friendship anymore, she had to be more proper.
Alexis, on the other hand, was sad that Skye was more mature. She hadn't been tackled hugged yet, and she missed Skye's fangirling, it wasn't the Skye she knew. But she just smiled. "That's awesome."
"Yeah. Chazz is at work, and Jaden's still asleep, so uh.,."
"It's almost noon."
"And it's Jaden. Ever since he stopped needing to get up for any reason, he stays in bed until 2 or 3."
"Isn't that bad for him?"
"Have you ever tried waking him up?"
"Touche. Anyway, I'm not here for the love birds. I mean, it would be cool to see them again, but I've been looking for you."
Skye's cheeks turned slightly pink but she recovered quickly. "Why?"
"Because, well… we didn't end on bad terms per say, but I didn't want us to end on any terms whatsoever."
"Per say? You're changing into a Va…" Skye stopped her teasing, once again remembering the closeness of their friendship.
Alexis smiled though. "You still watching that show?" Maybe Skye hadn't changed too much.
"It's still playing, and is still awesome, so yeah." Little did Alexis know, Skye hadn't changed that much. Besides being less angry and only having nightmares on rare occasions like normal people, she was a lot like she was in high school, just with an acting job.
"Look I got to go, I've got to meet my opponent."
"Who is it anyway?"
"You don't know yet?"
"I don't pay attention."
"True. It's Reggie."
Skye was so glad she wasn't drinking anything, because she started laughing. "Reggie? You mean the freshmen
when we were 2nd years?"
"Yeah."
"The one Chazz beat easily."
"Yep." Skye was acting more and more like her normal self.
"Oh god. Maybe I shouldn't go. It would be over so quickly."
"Wait. You were thinking of going?"
Skye stopped laughing and started blushing, luckily it looked like she had just lost air while laughing "Oh… uh… yeah. Jaden wanted to go, so yeah. What day are you two dueling?"
"The last duel of the last day. Something about old schoolmates makes us friends, so it will be heartbreaking."
"Ok?" Skye shook her head at the stupidity of the managers "I'll tell Jaden, he'll love to see you duel."
"Cool. I'll see you around." And Alexis turned around and walked down the long path.
Skye closed the door and leaned on it and slid to the ground. "Even after all this time, she still has this effect on me." Skye sighed and got up to get ready for her audition.
