Jaden’s POV

I slammed the car door shut behind me and walked around the back of the car. The gang and I were parked outside of a city park. We decided it would be best to park there and just walk around from there until we decided on what to actually do. Everyone was waiting at the back of the van. I walked over to Alexis and took her hand in mine. She smiled up at me and I smiled down at her. Claire walked around the car and looked at us. Her gaze shifted to Alexis and she looked her up and down. Alexis fidget slightly. I bit down on the urge to chuckle, because Claire did have a gaze that let you know she was seeing everything about you; everything you don’t want her to see.

“So what are we doing, Jay?” Mark asked as he and Morgan walked up to us, hand in hand. They had followed us in Mark’s car. Yes, Mark has a car. And he can drive it! What an over achiever! Claire looked away from Alexis and at Mark and Morgan, mainly Mark. He didn’t seem to notice though. Alexis relaxed once Claire wasn’t looking at her anymore.

“No clue,” I answered Mark’s question. Chazz huffed out a breath and folded his arms across his chest. Blair elbowed him in the side. He glared at her but kept his mouth shut. He hasn’t been in a good mood since the hotel. We got them all the checked in but he doesn’t like the fact that he has to share a room with Atticus, Hassleberry, and Syrus. He also has to share a bed with Atticus again. He’s not very fond of that at all.

“Let’s just walk around town,” Claire offered as she looked away from Mark and stuffed her hands in her jacket pockets. Claire’s black tote back was hitched up on her shoulders and seemed rather bulky to just walk around with. Women confound me!

“Sure,” I said. Chazz didn’t seem very fond of that idea, but he kept the comment to himself. He and Claire kinda duked it out in the car and Claire won, but only because she cheated. She hit below the belt…quite literally. Once we got of the van so they could check in that is. It was rather hilarious, and only those of us in the car actually understood why Chazz was cussing and limping for a half an hour.

So we found ourselves just wondering around town. The gang didn’t mind so much after a little bit; our wondering was better than the tour we took last summer!

“Hey, Sam!” a boy called as he walked down the sidewalk. Sam waved at him, smiling. Joni smiled at him but didn’t wave. Yeah, Sam and Joni tagged along. We just couldn’t ditch them. Believe me, we tried. Or, I did at least. That is until Alexis finally told me to knock it off and let them tag along. She likes Sam a lot, she’s always liked Sam. I don’t know why.

“Hey, look, Jay! It’s our old karate studio!” Claire said, pointing to an old building. With her other hand, she placed white rimmed, rather large, sunglasses over her eyes. I smiled.

“Good times,” I said. Claire nodded. Morgan jumped forward, pulling poor Mark along behind her, and looped her free arm through Claire’s arm.

“I remember that place! You were one of the best female students among the class. Didn’t you floor poor old Brook?” Morgan asked, rather innocently. She smirked when she recalled Brook. Claire smiled as well and I found myself laughing.

“Floored poor old Brook?” Syrus questioned. I nodded.

“Yeah, well, you see Claire and Brook were sparring one time, Brook just wanting to prove herself to her crush of the week,” I began to explain when Claire cut me off.

“Crush of the week? Try crush of the day. Hell, maybe even crush of the hour! But, seriously, you know who she really was trying to impress,” Claire said, smiling at me. I glared at her and she just smiled wider.

“Wait a minute; Brook has had a crush on Jaden for that long?” Aster asked. Claire, Morgan, and I nodded in unison.

“Oh, hell yeah. But, of course, Brook would tell you that she’s been ‘in love’ with Jaden for that long. That whore doesn’t even know the meaning of love,” Claire said, using air quotes. She then stuffed her hands back into her pocket and had her face pulled up into a scowl. Jesse walked up on Claire’s vacant side.

“Brook is that one that stalked you guys when you were younger, right?” Jesse asked Claire. She nodded.

“Freaking little bitch. I wanted to cut off all of her pretty blonde hair and shove her face in a garbage can,” Claire muttered. Everyone looked at her in shock as Morgan just burst out laughing.

“God, I wish you would! I’d sell tickets! Hell, I’d help you do it!” Morgan said, laughing. Claire didn’t say anything and just continued to glare at nothing. I frowned and looked at her. I knew exactly what Claire was thinking. Something I’ve been able to do for years. It’s handy sometimes, other times I wish we weren’t so connected.

“What’s got you so pissed off, Shelia?” Jim asked, looking at Claire. Everyone looked at Claire confused, even Morgan. Claire shrugged, pulling her arm away from Morgan in the process.

“Don’t worry about it; it’s ancient history,” Claire said, trying to brush it off. Morgan scowled at her; I did too.

“Claire,” I said in a low tone. She waved her hand at me, dismissing my tone.

“Later,” Claire answered. I frowned but left it at that. I’d make sure she ranted later. Alexis looked between us before dropped her gaze to the sidewalk.

Narrative POV

It amazed Alexis how with a simple wave of the hand Claire could dismiss what she just started. It amazed her more that Jaden let it drop, even though Alexis could tell something about that "ancient history" wasn't so ancient.

Fear lased Alexis' guts.

Keeping an eye on the sidewalk, Alexis tried to fight back all of those feelings that were now drowning her. She and Jaden were dating; she and Jaden were in love. Not him and Claire, never him and Claire. Alexis looked up and saw Claire chatting it up with Jesse, explaining more about the karate school. Alexis just toned them out.

She looked up at Jaden. He was looking over at Mark and chatting it up with him. Morgan was hanging onto Mark's hand. Her free hand was chaffing up and down his hand. His hand was bright red with the cold. Alexis looked down at hers and Jaden's hands.

They were both wearing gloves, their fingers tightly interlocked. Without really thinking about it, Alexis tightened her fingers around Jaden's slightly. Jaden looked away from Mark and down at Alexis, his eyebrow raised. She didn't look back at him though. Jaden just smiled, returned the pressure on her fingers, and brushed his lips over her hair. He looked back at Mark and started talking to him again.

A smile tugged at Alexis' lips. She leaned more on Jaden's side, her other arm coming up to wrap through hang onto Jaden's arm just above his elbow. Jaden's fingers tightened for a moment around her own. With her head leaning on his arm, Alexis looked up at Claire.

Claire had been watching them, Alexis knew that much. Claire had her attention on Jesse. She was using her right hand, gesturing to some things and doing some actions to reenact her story. Though Jesse was on her left side. Alexis' eyes traveled down Claire's left arm to see that her hand was being held by Jesse.

This really threw Alexis for a loop. Jesse and Claire were holding hands like it wasn't anything, like they'd been doing it for years. Alexis remembered how long it had taken her and Jaden to begin holding hands easily; it had been about three weeks. Alexis still had her eyes on their hands, so she could see when Claire moved her hand around so they weren't just holding hands anymore, but their fingers were also interlocked.

Just like that; their first day of meeting in person, and they were already holding hands like boyfriend and girlfriend. Jaden and her took almost a month to hold hands like that.

If Claire could hold hands with Jesse like that so quickly, what would stop her from doing the same to Jaden or worse, getting Jaden to change his mind about his and Alexis' relationship?

The fear Alexis had only now suppressed came back in a tidal wave. Alexis' hand tightened around Jaden's and didn't loosen up. Jaden looked down at her confused but she didn't look back up at him. Jaden just shrugged lightly and returned the pressure on her fingers, pulling her closer to him.

One thing became certain to Alexis then and there.

If Claire was here to try and get Jaden, she was going to have to get through Alexis first.

Jaden's POV

We started talking about some pro duels that were going to be on later, somehow getting off on the pro duel Zane was going to be in…next week…

Thank you very much Sam!

“Who is this Adrian Geko character anyway? It says he’s not even a pro duelist yet, just the top student at East Academy,” Sam said.

“Can we please stop talking about Zane already?” Chazz asked. Joni looked at him.

“If you can get Sam to shut up about Zane, I’ll pay you anything,” Joni said. Sam pouted at her best friend.

“I don’t talk about Zane that much!” Sam defended herself. Joni looked at her.

“You told me Zane’s entire life story against my will,” Joni said.

“I did not!” Sam yelled.

“You raped my ear,(1)” Joni said. Sam’s jaw went slack before she snapped her teeth together and scowled at Joni. We were laughing as we rounded the corner. Suddenly, Claire stopped. When she did, we all stopped walking and looked at her.

“Claire, what’s wrong?” Mark asked. Claire’s jaw was down and she looked like she just saw a ghost.

“No…way!” Claire yelled. Before we could ask her anything, Claire took off in a full blown sprint forward. Jesse staggered forward slightly, I don't know why. When we looked up, she had glomped a person from behind. They were tall, wearing a long black coat. They had shaggy black hair with fading red highlights. Morgan and I laughed as we walked up on Claire and the person, who was trying to pry her off of him.

“Seriously, get off of me!” the person said, sounding irritated.

“Geez, Danny, don’t you recognize me?” Claire said, jumping off of Danny. Danny looked at her confused. Claire smiled and pulled her sunglasses up off of her eyes and into her hair. Danny gasped.

“Claire!” Danny exclaimed. Claire smiled wider. Danny scooped her up and swung her around hugging her tightly. When they weren’t spinning anymore, Danny kissed Claire soundly on the mouth. The gang gapped at them, even Mark, Sam, and Joni did. Morgan and I just burst out laughing. Claire laughed and pushed Danny off of her.

“Down boy,” Claire said, laughing. Danny just smiled like an idiot at her.

“Get a room!” Morgan said, laughing. Danny looked up, seeming to see us for the first time. He just smiled at us, not seeming embarrassed about what he just did at all.

“Danny?” a timid voice called from behind him. Danny looked over his shoulder and smiled. He set Claire down on her feet and angled his body back, revealing the person who was standing behind him. It was girl, about seventeen. She had long, very dark brown hair. Her eyes were a light, yet dark, brown. She wasn’t very tall, maybe only five foot two. Danny positively towered over the poor girl.

“Kaite (2)!” Sam and Joni exclaimed at the same time. Kaite looked up at the calling of her name. She looked at Sam and Joni confused.

“Sam, Joni? What are you guys doing?” Kaite asked. Sam gapped at her.

“I should be the one asking you that!” Sam said. Kaite cocked her head to the side. Danny chuckled.

“You know each other?” Danny asked, gesturing between Sam and Kaite. Kaite nodded and looked up at him.

“Sam and I are on the debate team together. Joni too,” Kaite explained. Aster looked at Sam.

You’re on the debate team?” Aster asked, shocked. Sam glared at him.

“She’s the best on the team; that girl just doesn’t know when to give up,” Joni explained. Sam nodded and stuck her tongue out at Aster.

“That explains it,” Danny said. Kaite smiled and nodded. Sam looked at Kaite with confusion alit in her eyes.

"Anyway, Kaite, why are you hanging out with Danny?" Sam asked. Color flared up slightly on Kaite's cheeks. She raised her right hand to her lips and began to bite on her thumbnail.

"Umm, well, you see," Kaite stammered, trying to come up with a reason. Everyone looked at her confused. Well, everyone but Claire. Claire just smiled and folded her arms across her chest.

"They're dating; been dating for awhile now," Claire explained. The color on Kaite's cheeks deepened. We all stared at Kaite and Danny in shock. I don't want to sound mean but Danny is still considered the town punk and Kaite is, well, the town sweetheart, I guess. Those two dating? Opposites must really attract.

"How do you know?" Bastion asked. Claire smiled at him.

"Danny told me when they first started dating," Claire explained. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Oh, but you don't tell me?" I asked. Danny smiled at me. He grabbed Kaite's hand without really thinking about it. The color that faded slightly came back full force.

"You never really asked, Yuki," Danny explained. I sighed and looked down at their joined hands. Danny wasn't, of course, wearing any gloves.

“Geez, Danny, where are your gloves?” I asked. Danny looked down at his hand and then up at me.

“Me and gloves don’t mix, Yuki, you know this,” Danny said. I sighed and nodded. Claire looked at Kaite.

"You should just tell him to wear gloves, Kaite. Danny's really a big push over," Claire said, winking. Kaite looked at her confused.

"He sure fooled me last summer," Aster muttered. The gang who was here last summer nodded in agreement. Claire didn't hear his comment.

"Danny doesn't seem like a push over," Syrus said, his eyes looking over Danny's towering six foot two frame. Claire rolled her eyes.

"Size wise, no, Danny isn't a push over. But not when it comes to who he really is," Claire said. Hassleberry looked at her confused.

"What?" he asked. Claire groaned and waved her hand in the air in a dismissing manner.

"Forget it, you won't understand," Claire grumbled. She walked over to Kaite and threw her arm over her shoulders. "You might though. Come on, I know all of Danny's dirty little secrets," Claire said, pulling Kaite with her as they walked away. Kaite didn't really resist but she didn't look like she really wanted to know all of Danny's dirty little secrets. Danny just smiled after them. I walked over to Danny and stood next to him, my arms folded across my chest.

“So tell me, Danny, how peeved was Brook when she found out Kaite could have you, but not her?” I asked. Danny smiled wider and looked down at me.

“Oh, new level,” Danny answered. I smiled.

“Awesome,” I said.

“Why do you guys enjoy tormenting this Brook character?” Axel asked. I looked at him.

“You’ll understand why when you finally meet her, Axel,” I said. Axel seemed confused but nodded.

“Don’t threaten your friends, Jaden, it’s not very nice,” Danny said. I just laughed and placed my free hand on the small of Danny’s back; I pushed him forward.

“I’m just warning them,” I said. Danny laughed and nodded. Claire and Kaite were waiting for us at the corner; Kaite was smiling. She walked over to Danny and took his hand. Danny smiled at her and looked at Claire with a raised eyebrow. Claire just smiled and winked.

“Yo! Jaden! What’s up?” Brad called. I looked in the direction of Brad’s voice. Sure enough, he was walking toward us with Chelsea hanging onto his arm. He was actually, honest to God, smiling at me. Brad never has a real smile for me!

“Hey, Brad. Nothing much, we’re just wondering around town, trying to decide what to do,” I said when he and Chelsea reached us.

“Cool, cool,” Brad said.

“What are you doing?” Sam asked, folding her arms across her chest. Brad looked at her.

“Our movie just let out and we saw you guys. You don’t mind a few more people tagging along, do you?” Brad asked, looking at me. I blinked but shook my head.

“Yeah, sure, we don’t mind at all,” I said. Brad smiled again, a real freaking smile! Geez, I like this Chelsea person!

“So, what are we going to do now that we have a rather large party?” Bastion asked. I shrugged. We were walking again, Claire walking right next to Danny and Jesse. She and Danny were talking, pointing at some things here and there. Jesse just seemed to be listening, but Claire explained everything to him. Huh…maybe…

“Let’s go there!” Claire yelled suddenly. We all stopped and looked to where she was pointing. Claire was pointing to a…dear God, save me!

A teen Karaoke Club!

“YES!” Atticus yelled, doing a little fist pump with his hand. He then looked at me. “Why didn’t you show us this place during the summer, Jaden?” Atticus demanded. I scratched the back of my head.

“I, uh, forgot about it,” I said. Claire snorted.

“What he meant to say, Atticus, was that he ‘conveniently’ forgot about it,” Claire said. I glared at her while Morgan and Danny started laughing.

“Now I know why I was glad when you moved to America,” I said quickly, regretting it instantly. I was afraid Claire might actually take me seriously. Morgan and Danny seemed to believe me, because their jaws fell. Claire simply smiled.

“You were the most upset,” Claire said.

“I was not,” I shot back quickly. Claire just smiled and looked at Danny.

“Who was it that cried when I told them that I was moving away?” Claire asked. Danny smirked and pointed at me. Claire looked at Morgan. “Morgan?” Morgan just smiled and pointed to me.

“I did not!” I defended myself. Claire looked at me.

“There were waterworks!” Claire said. Danny and Morgan both nodded.

“Definite waterworks,” Danny said.

“Balling, you might say,” Morgan elaborated.

“I hate you all,” I said. They just started laughing and Danny elbowed me.

“So, what are we doing?” Hassleberry asked. I sighed and pointed to the club.

“Might as well,” I said. Claire smiled and ran ahead of us, pulling Jesse along behind…her…WAIT ONE SECOND! I zeroed in on Claire’s hand. Sure enough, she was holding Jesse’s hand. When did they start holding hands!? My eyes narrowed slightly at their hands but neither of them seemed to notice.

When we finally crossed the road, Chazz ahead of us, rather ticked that we were going to a karaoke club. Chazz was to engrossed in his own fury that he didn't notice the slick portion of the sidewalk.

"Chazz, look...," I tried to warn him but he wasn't listening. Chazz caught the ice wrong, slipped backwards, his arms flailing, and fell right on his ass with a grunt. Everyone stopped and looked down at him. Chazz was cringing on the sidewalk. Suddenly, everyone was in a fit of hysterics with Chazz yelling at us rather rudely. Atticus helped Chazz up, fighting his own bout with hysterics. Blair calmed down before the rest of us and sighed.

"Oh, this is going to be one hell of a night."

1: I LOVE RON WHITE!!! That’s his quote, so I don’t claim it. It’s in his “You Can’t Fix Stupid” routine! It’s awesome, hilarious! Check it out!

2: No, that name is not spelled wrong. The person that Kaite is based spells her name like that, just so you’re all aware!
