Syrus yelped when his monster got destroyed, causing him to lose the duel against Alexis. "Yes!" She cheered brightly as the holograms of her cyber ladies faded away.

"Well, a deals a deal." She smiled as she walked to Syrus, who looked at the ground in defeat. "Yeah, I get it.." He sighed, getting up.

Their deal was that if Syrus won the duel, Alexis would get him that delicious dessert from the Blue Dorm cafeteria! He heard it's one of the best, with its silky chocolate bites, fresh strawberries, and soft, fluffy cake. It's something to die for!

But if Alexis won, then he had to do her a very big favor. Though, he didn't know what it was.. He figured the dessert would be worth it.

"Alright! Before we begin, we gotta go somewhere first. Then, I'll tell you what your role is!" Role?

"Wait, where are we going??" Syrus asked, confused but for some reason, follows her anyway.

"Shush, I'll explain later. For right now, be quiet!"


So, apparently.

This place was Alexis's Dorm Room. Yeah, he has no idea why he's here. He was as frozen as a frog in a blizzard, aside from his nervous shaking. Why is he here?! Oh god, he's gonna get expelled! Why did she bring him here instead of the Slifer Red Dorm?! What's happening, and why isn't he making a run for it?! Ok, that would be dumb, but still!!

"Alright, I think we should be clear now." She said to herself, looking out into the hallway before closing the door. "Alright, now we can get down to business. I want to get back at my brother."

Huh?

"Uh. What do you mean?" Syrus asked, though he wished he didn't sound so nervous.

"My brother showed pictures of my friends and I as the Harpy Sisters to that stupid fanclub! So, I want to get back at him, using his biggest weakness..."

"Being a hopeless romantic."

Syrus blinked. "Uh. Ok..?"

"That's where you come in."

"Huh?? How?!" Syrus blurted out, now even more confused than before. "Alexis, I am literally not the best choice for this kind of plan!"

"Oh, you don't understand.. You are." She spoke as she grabbed something from the bags. Syrus walked to her, tilting his head as she took it out.

Huh? An Obelisk Blue Uniform for the girls. "Alexis, that's definitely kinda small for you." He blinked. With how tall she is, it won't fit.

"Oh, I'm not wearing this." She said with a smile. "You are."

"Oh, that makes sense." It would definitely fit him.

Wait.

WAIT.

"WHAT?!" Syrus shrieked, but Alexis covered his mouth with a hiss. "Shhh!!! Keep it down. Did you forget that you're not allowed in here?!"

"Sorry, but what?!" Syrus squeaked. "This is crazy!! Nobody will buy it, Alexis!! Besides, why me?!"

"You're the one who can pull this off!" Alexis argued.

"Excuse you, but I think Jaden would look more beautiful!"

Alexis paused, blinking at him.

"Oh, whatever! Why don't you trick him online?! That's easier, isn't it?!"

"No, actually." She sighed. "He is much easier to sway in person rather than behind a screen. But, it'll be just for a day! The plan is, You be the "New Girl", Then Atticus would fall head over heels, Then oh no, new girl is leaving!! Then, we tell him it's a prank! There!"

"But, I can't just put this on, and suddenly, nobody will reconize me!" Syrus countered, eyes wide. "Also, you want me to catfish your brother?!"

"When you put it like that.. Oh, whatever!!" She huffed. "Hey, we had a deal. You lost the duel! So, you gotta hold your end of the bargain."

Syrus grumbled, already feeling that it's a stupid idea. "But, everyone will know it's me!"

"Not when I'm done with you."

Syrus froze. Why is she threatening him now?!

Alexis holds up accessories and her makeup bag. "You don't have to worry, I know my way around a brush and eyeliner!"

Oh. Well, that's slightly relieving. Slightly.

He sighed in defeat before grabbing the clothes to look at them. "... Can I at least get a jacket?"

"Why?" She asked.

"... I, uh, kinda feel more comfortable with one." He wouldn't want to feel more exposed than how he already is thinking about this. This will end badly, for sure.

"Sure, I can make that work." She said, looking at the outfit before snapping her fingers and going out the door.

"I'm gonna take a shower, then!"

"Okay, Shhhh!!! Just be quiet!!" Alexis shouted back. Syrus looked at the bathroom and sighed. Well, it's time to seal his fate.


Alexis came in with the Obelisk Blue coat, though it was the other variant with its mostly white color. She thought it would be better suited for him than the blue one. She simply knocked on the door to the bathroom, hearing the running water come to a halt. "Hey, I got the coat."

She heard Syrus let out a sigh. "Okay, just hand them over then..." Thus, she passed the clothes to his hand and waited for him to get out of the bathroom.

"You almost done??"

"Give me a minute! My hair's very thick. It'll create a pond if I don't get all the water out!"

Alexis couldn't help but snicker a bit. That sounds like something a cat would say. To be honest, he does sometimes act like one.

"Okay.. I'm done." She looks up to see him in the outfit she gave him.

He looked at himself with an unsure expression, wearing the jacket and a blue skirt. "Hm... We're getting somewhere." Alexis spoke as she circled him. "Alright, sit down. I got this."


"Zane, what do you think lunch is gonna be? Man, I'm famished!" Atticus smiled brightly as Zane nodded, not really feeling the need to speak at the moment. It was like any other day, full of many duelist talking in the halls. To be honest, it was getting a bit boring around here. He hasn't even seen Jaden or his brother around all day. Probably in detention or something.

"Whoa, what's going on there?" Atticus's question snapped Zane out of his thoughts, causing him to turn his head to the crowd. It's a bit unusual.

The two walked over as Zane looked at all the duelist around them. They had made a line, stunned with wide eyes and flushed cheeks. It's like they're all entranced.

"Zane..." He turned to Atticus, only to be slightly surprised that he was staring down the line with the same stare. "Look..."

Zane turned to the source of all this. Okay, there's Alexis and.. Someone new?

There was someone beside her that had light blue hair, tied up in a ponytail with the ribbon. The ends of the ribbons were long and swayed gently due to her movement. She wore a jacket instead of the usual girl's uniform, with long coat tails and a blue accent in it's mostly white color.

Zane blinked as he stared at her more, confused. Especially when he noticed her eyes. A shining silver. Also, she's a bit small.

He feels like he knows her, but he can't really put his finger on it.

"She's beautiful..." Atticus whispered, walking to Alexis and the mysterious girl by her. "Alexis, who's your friend?" He asked with starry eyes, clearly moonstruck with this new girl.

"Oh, she's new!" Alexis smiled. "This is.. Uh..." Zane thought that she looked around for a moment. He didn't imagine that, right?

"Orchid! Her name is Orchid."

Orchid smiled and bows her head, a tad nervous. "Wow, that's such a beautiful name!" Atticus beamed. "Please, do enjoy your time here! I'd be glad to give you a tour. If you would like to, that is?"

Zane sighed as he shakes his head. Oh Atticus, such a hopeless romantic. He's honestly so hopeless..

Zane looked at Orchid again and noticed a slight flinch. Huh?

"Oh, don't worry about him! Zane here looks all scary and stuff, but he's a big softie!" Atticus laughed. It seemed he noticed that, too.

She nods, not looking at Zane for some reason. "Well, I better show her around! I'll see you two later!" Alexis smiled as she gestures Orchid to follow her. Orchid bows as she (very quickly) followed Alexis to the classroom. Every duelist around stared at her leaving in awe, then began talking about the "new doll." Oh, for Ra's sake...

"Wow... It's like I met an angel..." Atticus sighed wistfully. "I've never seen such a lady like her.."

"Why does she look familiar, though?" Zane thought aloud to himself. Something is telling him he knows her, but he doesn't have a clue.

"Do you think she likes roses?"

"Ra, help us.." Zane grumbled.


"So, Orchid was it?" A Ra Yellow Duelist asked with a smile. "Where are you from?"

"Um-"

"Do you have a boyfriend?" Another Duelist questioned, hoping the answer is no.

"Guys, cut it out! Give her space!" Alexis growled. Geez, she didn't think that he would attract this much attention!

"Yeah! You know, A little lady like yourself can sure use a bodyguard to deal with all these numbskulls!! I'd be glad to!"

"No, don't trust him! He drools over every girl that he sees!" An Obelisk Blue Duelist shouted.

"Uh-"

"How dare you! You're the one who has that bikini calendar under your bed!!"

"Hey-"

"What?! No, I don't! You just want to take her away!"

"Guys!"

"Both of you guys suck! I should be her bodyguard!"

"I ALREADY HAVE ONE!"

They all turned their heads at Orchid, who froze up when they stared at her. Oh dear, what on earth did he do? Why did he say that?! But, they wouldn't shut up! "Uh..."

He desperately looks around, trying to find an answer. C'mon, look!! Uh, Chair?! No, that's stupid! A teacher?! No!! Uh, UH-!!

He looked at the logo of the Duel Academy, and gulped while being frozen by panic.

"Uh... K-Kaiba Corp..?"

Jaws were dropped. Alexis was shocked at what he said. He knew that he made a mistake. A huge mistake. But, he was put on the spot! He panicked!

"Kaiba Corp?!" A duelist echoed, surprised. "Are.. Are you related to Kaiba?!"

"Uh-!!"

"It all makes sense!! No wonder you're in Obelisk Blue!!" Another guy gasped. "You must be Kaiba's Niece or something!!"

Alexis watched as the chatter of this "new information" grew to something irreparable in only a matter of seconds. She looked at Syrus, who looked back in fear.

Oh, they really dug themselves a hole.
