"Hey Lex, you wait long?"

"No, I just got here."

"Proper boyfriend etiquette."

Alexis lifted her eyebrows and then smiled "I almost forgot about that show."

"Yeah, me too."

"That's why you're quoting it."

Skye shrugged her shoulders and sat on the bench, next to Alexis "Ok, maybe I remember more than you do. So what do you wanna do?"

"You were the one who told me to meet here."

"Well, I just wanted to catch up."

Alexis glanced around "Maybe we shouldn't stay in one place."

"What, are you an assassin or something?"

Alexis laughed "No. I had to sneak away from Jennette."

"Oh, right. Your duels."

"I really don't need to watch anyone. I think it would actually be better to work with my skills and cards than watch people I don't even know."

"Well." Skye stood up and reached her hand out for Alexis "If we're on the move we should go to a cafe or something."

"Yeah." Alexis accepted her hand and they started walking "Any reason?"

"First year of high school. We promised that we would have a stupid girls day out when we got to go to the mainland. We didn't 2nd year because of the… yeah, and we were too busy auditioning and getting managers and fangirling over Chazz and Jaden, we sort of forgot."

"Wow, I forgot how good a memory you have."

"That seems ironic."

Alexis laughed "Yeah, I guess."

There was an awkward silence until Skye broke it "Ok, it's been 5 years, we have to have something we can talk about."

"Ok. How're the guys doing?"

"Jaden is looking for a new manager as we speak."

"Wow, I thought he slept late."

"He wanted to get up this morning."

"Hmm. And Chazz?"

"He's usually ok, but every once in a while, his brothers decide to drop by and "check" on him. They're staying for a whole week this time, and he was really crummy last night at dinner, so I stopped chasing Jaden."

"Why were you chasing Jaden?"

"Because he said that I…" Skye started, but then started blushing. "... he was just being Jaden."

"What's so bad about that?"

"He… I… It's hard to explain. And… It looks like we're here." Skye opened the door to the cafe.

"You're hiding something, but I'll get it out of you sooner or later, especially since you aren't cursed anymore."

"Just because I'm not cursed, doesn't mean I can't still beat you."

"Remember, I was the one that broke that curse."

"With the help of Jaden."

"I can still get Jaden's help."

Skye stuck out her tongue and the girls ordered their drinks.

A few minutes later, it was Alexis's turn to break the silence "So, how are you handling his brothers."

"My hair caught on fire once, and threatened to twice."

"Not bad."

"Well. It was only when I was thinking about them. I haven't seen them yet." Alexis noticed Skye's eyes teetering between hazel and red.

"Hon."

"Hmm." Skye looked up from her cup.

Alexis tapped next to her eyes. And Skye took a deep breath.

"Better?"

"Yep."

"Ok, so three times threatened."

Alexis laughed "You know what'll be fun?"

"What?"

"Going in there and getting rid of those idiots."

Skye stared at Alexis, and then got a devious smile. "I like how you think. I didn't even know that you were one to think like that."

"Well, it's been 5 years."

"Let's go."

"Now?"

"Yeah, before Jennette finds you."

"Oh right. Let's g…"

"There you are."

"God damn it."

"Come on Alexis. We have to watch the duels."

"I actually think that it would be better if I spend some time alone with my deck."

Jennette held out a deck of cards "So, you leave your deck at the hotel and hang out with…" Jennette looked over at the brunnette "You're the girl from the grocery store. Stop stealing my client."

"She hasn't been stealing me, I've been purposely looking for her."

"Really?"

"Well, yeah."

Skye started blushing again.

"Alexis, we must go."

"Fine. Later Skye. Maybe we can do the plan tomorrow at elev…" Alexis looked at her manager shaking her head. "Nine." Jennette sighed and nodded her head.

"Ok." Skye hugged the blonde. "Have fun." And she let her go.

Alexis blinked her eyes, was this the same feeling from the one time in high school "Oh, uh, yeah. Tell the guys I wish them well."

"Will do."

And Alexis left with Jennette. Skye sighed, finished her drink. And left too see how far Jaden had come.

"Jaden? I'm back." Skye walked in on the boy asleep with the dueling channel on, and his hand still limply on his laptop on a dueling manager site.

"Guess, you aren't quite ready to get up early." She went to close his laptop, and then saw a message written on the "Tell us about yourself" section.

Skye

I fear that I'm gonna fall asleep again. Make sure I'm up before 1.

-J

Skye smiled, closed the laptop, put it on the coffee table, turned off the tv, and pulled the blanket up.
