Hey everyone! Thanks for reviewing. Glad you liked it so much. For everyone wondering, yes, I do know that Duel Academy is only 3 years but I decided to make it like any normal high school to work with the fic. Also, Mel's spirit isn't Kuriboh. It's Outstanding Dog Marron. I just thought I'd straighten that all out. Here's the next chapter. Enjoy!

Claimer: I own this story plot, title, and Mel.

Jaden's POV

"Where is she! Where is she!" Crowler's frantic voice called as he and Bonaparte ran towards the dock. We all looked over there.

"Who's that lady?" Mel asked. I chuckled a bit.

"That's Dr. Crowler, and he's a man." Alexis said. Mel whipped around and looked at her, wide eyed.

"Really?" She asked in disbelief. Alexis nodded.

"Yep." She said. Mel shook her head.

"Creepy." She said. Winged Kuriboh popped up on my shoulder.

Kuri! He said, agreeing with Mel. Ruby appeared on Jesse's shoulder and agreed with Winged Kuriboh. Jesse and I started laughing. Everyone looked at us like we crazy.

Indeed. A voice said at my feet. I looked down at my feet, Jesse did too. Down at our feet was a brown dog with a red collar that had a red bone tag on it with an "M" on it.

"What the…" Jesse and I said in unison. Mel bent down on her knees and patted the ground. The dog looked at her and trotted over to her. He hopped into her opened arms.

"Is he yours?" I asked. Mel looked at me shocked.

"You can see Marron?" She asked in disbelief.

"Yeah." I said.

"I can too." Jesse chimed in. Mel looked at him, then back at me, then back at Jesse.

"Wow, it's been awhile since someone has been able to see Marron." She said, smiling.

Actually, no one besides you has ever been able to see me Mel. Marron said, looking up at Mel from her arms.

"Either way, it's still kinda weird." Mel said. Jesse and I both nodded.

"But extremely cool!" I said. Mel smiled.

"Yeah." Mel agreed. Winged Kuriboh flew over to Mel and floated around Marron. Ruby jumped from Jesse's shoulder and landed on Mel's to get a better look at Marron.

"Winged Kuriboh!/Ruby!" Jesse and I said in unison. Mel started to laugh. Everyone was looking at us like we were crazy.

"It's okay." Mel said. Marron looked up at her.

I haven't been around other duel monster spirits in quite awhile. I like Duel Academy already. Marron said in a satisfied tone. He stood up in Mel's arms and looked at Kuriboh. I've never actually seen a Winged Kuriboh spirit. Winged Kuriboh flew around, showing off. Marron then looked at Ruby. Nor have I ever seen any of the Gem Beast spirits. This sure is a real treat. Ruby stood up on Mel's shoulder and jumped back over to Jesse's.

"It's alright Ruby." Jesse reassured Ruby. She curled around his neck.

"Marron's harmless." Mel said.

I beg your pardon! Marron shrieked. He sounded insulted. I am quite vicious actually. Rawr. Marron said, trying to be scary. Mel looked at us.

"See what I mean?" She said. Marron huffed and fell down into Mel's arms.

I get no respect. Marron said. Winged Kuriboh came and sat on my shoulder.

"What are you guys talking about?" Adrian asked. Mel, Jesse, and I looked at him.

"Duel monster spirits." We all said in unison. Adrian looked confused. Syrus explained.

"They can see the spirits of they're cards." Syrus said. Jim, Axel, and Adrian looked at him confused.

"We play along." Haselberry explained. They nodded but were still confused.

"Aha! There she is!" Crowler screamed. We all turned to see Crowler and Bonaparte running towards us.

"Why is Dr. Crowler running over towards us?" Chazz asked. I shrugged.

"No clue." I said. Crowler and Bonaparte reached us.

"Miss Little! It's an honor!" Crowler said. We all looked at Mel confused. She smiled at Dr. Crowler.

"The honor is all mine Dr. Crowler." Mel said. Dr. Crowler looked up at her in shock.

"I didn't even introduce myself." Crowler said. Mel nodded.

"I know. My new friends told me who you were." Mel said, gesturing towards us. Crowler's face fell.

"Miss Little. I strongly advise that you refrain from spending time with Jaden Yuki. He is a terrible influence on many of my pupils. I do not wish for him to poison such a mind as yours." Crowler said.

"Indeed." Bonaparte agreed.

"Jaden is not a bad influence on us Dr. Crowler!" Syrus defended me.

"Don't forget Dr. Crowler, Jaden's the best duelist in school." Jim pointed out.

"Nonetheless…." Crowler began. Mel stuck up her right hand to stop Dr. Crowler. Her left arm supported Marron.

"Don't fret Dr. Crowler. My mind is immune to any poison Jaden would instill on it." Mel said, giving Dr. Crowler a reassuring smile. Crowler looked at her.

"Dr. Crowler! I sure hope you aren't trying to convince Melanie to stay from Jaden." Chancellor Sheppard said as he walked up and stood behind Crowler. Crowler looked at him.

"Of course not Chancellor! Not at all!" Crowler said. We all let out a sigh. Chancellor Sheppard looked down at Mel and smiled.

"Welcome to Duel Academy Miss Little. It sure is a treat to have you here with us." Chancellor Sheppard said, smiling. Mel smiled back.

"Thank you Chancellor Sheppard." Mel said. Chancellor Sheppard looked at all of us.

"I see you have already met some of our best duelists." Chancellor Sheppard noted. Mel nodded.

"Yes." Mel said. Chancellor Sheppard looked at us.

"Very good. Then I don't need to introduce you to them myself." Chancellor Sheppard said smiling.

"Not at all." Mel said.

"Chancellor Sheppard?" Aster said, getting Chancellor Sheppard's attention. Chancellor Sheppard looked at him.

"Yes Aster?" Chancellor Sheppard said.

"Why are you and Crowler so excited that Mel is here?" Aster asked. That question burned in all of our minds.

"Didn't Melanie tell you already?" Chancellor Sheppard asked, in shock. We all shook our heads. Chancellor Sheppard looked down at Mel. "Well, at least you're not one to gloat." Mel smiled.

"Of course not. Actually, I don't see it as such a big deal." Mel said. Crowler nearly flipped.

"Not a big deal!" Crowler shrieked. We all looked at him, confused.

"Not really." Mel said.

"What did you do Mel?" Jesse asked. Mel looked at him.

"It's really nothing." She said. Crowler didn't like that answer.

"It is quite the opposite Miss Little!" Crowler said. "I haven't seen a score like that since Zane Truesdale!" Crowler said. We all looked at Mel, shocked.

"What is he talking about?" Axel asked, confused. Mel looked at him.

"My entrance written exam. I scored 100 percent on it." Mel said. Everyone looked at her in shock.

Jesse's POV

"Exactly!" Crowler said. We all looked at him. Mel sighed.

"Please Dr. Crowler. Don't do this." Mel said, looking serious now.

She doesn't like this kind of attention. Marron said. Mel hates it when people do this. She's smart and she knows it but she hates it when people do this because of it. She prefers to be praised for her dueling rather than her dueling knowledge. Marron was at my feet when he was talking. Ruby jumped from my shoulders and was sitting next to Marron.

"People do this all the time?" I whispered so no one could hear me but Marron. Marron nodded.

At prep school, at the exams, everywhere. Marron said. He sighed. I feel rather bad for her. Her parents and brother gave her enough praise on the knowledge. She likes praise on dueling so keep that in mind. Marron trotted back over to Mel's feet. Her burlap backpack was opened and Marron hopped into it, his head popped out of the top. Ruby jumped back onto my shoulders. I looked back up at Mel who was staring seriously at Crowler.

"Don't do what Miss Little?" Crowler asked confused. Mel sighed.

"This. This praising my test score. It's annoying! It's stupid!" Mel said annoyed now. Crowler didn't like her response.

"A test score like that is the only score worthy of praise." Crowler said. Chancellor Sheppard stepped in.

"Dr. Crowler, please." Chancellor Sheppard said. Crowler stepped back. "Melanie is quite right. You can't do this to every student who get's a score like this."

"Then why were so excited to met Miss Little?" Crowler asked. Chancellor Sheppard smiled.

"Well, to ask how my old friend Chris was doing." Chancellor Sheppard said. Mel smiled. We all looked at them, confused.

"Who's Chris?" I asked. Mel looked at me and smiled. My heartbeat increased rapidly. What was she doing to me?

"He's my dad." Mel answered. Chancellor Sheppard smiled and nodded.

"So how is he Melanie?" Chancellor Sheppard asked. Mel shrugged.

"He's alright, last time I heard from that is." Mel said. She sounded a little sad when she finished her sentence. Chancellor Sheppard nodded.

"Where is he and your mother by the way?" Chancellor Sheppard asked. Mel shrugged again.

"I think they're in California. But that was 2 weeks ago. They could be anywhere by now." She said. She was really sounding hurt when she said that. Marron looked up at her, his ears folded back against his head. He whined a little.

"I see. Well, I guess I'll let you get finished moving in. Good day." Chancellor Sheppard waved and then walked away. Dr. Crowler and Bonaparte left a minute later. We all looked Mel.

"Your parents know Chancellor Sheppard?" Mindy asked Mel. Mel nodded.

"He and my dad were best friends while they were going through high school. I've known him since I was born." Mel said.

"That explains how someone like YOU got into Obelisk Blue." A snotty voice said. We all turned to see an Obelisk Blue girl standing there with her arms folded across her chest. She had strait blonde hair and sky blue eyes. She was glaring at Mel.

"Actually Meg, Chancellor Sheppard has no say on who goes to what dorm. Seto Kaiba does all that work." Mel said. Meg glared at her.

"Like you expect me to believe that!" Meg screamed.

"Actually it's true." Alexis said. Meg glared at Alexis.

"Who asked you!" Meg shouted.

"Meg." Mel said. Meg glared at her. "What do you want?"

"I want you to get out of my site!" Meg said with a huff. She spun on her heels, and stormed off. I was amazed she didn't fall down. Those heels were HUGE!

"Who was that?" Jaden asked. Mel sighed.

"Just Megara Matcher. She scored second highest on the exams. She was furious that I beat her." Mel said.

"Why does she ummm…" Syrus began. He was trying to think of a word that would work. Mel finished the sentence for him.

"Hate me?" Mel offered. Syrus nodded.

"I didn't want to sound rude." Syrus said. Mel shrugged.

"I've always 'out-shined' her as she says." Mel said with a shrug.

"In other words, she's jealous of you?" I said. Mel smiled at me. There goes my heartbeat again.

"Pretty much." Mel said.

She has many reasons to be. Marron said from Mel's bag. Mel smiled down at Marron.

"Thanks Marron." Mel said. She picked up her bag that Marron was in and strapped over her shoulders. She then picked up her blue suitcase.

"You want some help?" I offered. Mel looked at me, shocked by my gesture I guess. She smiled but shook her head.

"Thanks for the offer Jesse but you can't go into the girl's dorm." Mel said.

"Oh, right." I said. Mel laughed. I smiled. Suddenly Mel stopped laughing and began coughing. She covered her mouth with her right hand which was balled into a fist. I heard Marron whimper from his bag.

"Are you alright?" I asked, worried. Mel stopped coughing and looked up at me. She smiled. If there was anyway for my heart to beat faster, it did.

"Yeah, it's just a cough. It's nothing to worry about." Mel said.

"Are you sure?" I asked. She nodded. Alexis walked over to Mel.

"Mind if I give you a tour of the dorms?" Alexis asked Mel. Mel looked at Alexis.

"Sure." Mel said. Mindy and Jasmine jumped out from behind Syrus and Chazz, knocking them down.

"We want to come with!" They both said in unison. Mel looked at them, smiling.

"Sure, I don't mind." Mel said.

"Let's get going then. We'll catch up with you guys later." Alexis said. They turned around and headed for the girl's dorm. I looked at Marron and his eyes were worried. That made ME worry.
