I was just thinking of how Ryo might've been in HIS first year, with Fujiwara and Fubuki. How sad it must've been! At the end, at least…Ryo stood at the bow of the boat that speeded towards the famed Duel Academy, Fujiwara and Fubuki at his side. He was grinning with excitement, and Fubuki could barely stay in one spot. Fujiwara was smiling also, and laughed at Fubuki.

"I can't believe we are actually going!" Fubuki cried. "This is so amazing!"

"Not to mention the fact that all three of us are in Obelisk," Fujiwara added, his green hair whipping around his face from the wind.

"Imagine our possibilities," Ryo mused.

"Yeah, this screams new adventures!" Fubuki laughed. The captain then went on speaker and told them to gather their stuff, for they will be arriving soon. The three friends glanced at each other one last time before hurrying to retrieve their possessions.

The trio soon found themselves among the mob of students in the auditorium/duel field. Headmaster Sameshima (sp?) entered and approached the microphone.

"Good evening, students!" he started. To start things off, he explained the rules, where they were and weren't allowed, etc. Then, he touched upon another subject. "This year, your Alchemy professor, Daitokuji, will be the Head of Dorm for this new dorm we've built and want to fill with students. This will be mixed with Obelisk Freshmen, Juniors, and Seniors, and there you will follow a slightly different curriculum than the rest of the student body," he announced. Ryo smirked at that idea. Being apart from the majority was major fun. "If you are one of these students, you will be told through your PDA. Good night, my students, and please make yourself at home!"

The body streamed out of the room through the multiple doors there. Ryo pulled out his PDA, curious to see if he made it.

"Check it out, Fubuki, Fujiwara," he exclaimed. "We're in the separate Obelisk Dorm!"

"No way," Fujiwara retorted. "I know we're smart, but come on, that dorm?"

"It could be fun," Fubuki concluded. "Cheer up, Fujiwara! Imagine the adventures we'll have!"

Fujiwara sighed. "Okay, I guess I'll give it a try." Fubuki cheered and hugged Fujiwara, much to his dismay. Fujiwara was not a very huggy person. The trio looked around, finding themselves the only three left in the auditorium.

"Great, where do we go?" Ryo complained. He started to head towards a random door.

"Not that way!" A girl hissed. The three boys spun around to see a tall girl – just about Fujiwara's height – with long, wavy blonde hair and bright green eyes poke her head into the room. "You three are in the separate dorm, correct?" Fujiwara, Ryo, and Fubuki nodded. "I am too!" She entered the room fully and stalked up to them. "I'm Usagi, nice to meet you."

"I'm Fubuki," the brunette said, bowing down dramatically. Usagi giggled.

"Ryo," the teal-nette introduced. The new girl nodded her head.

"And I am…" Fujiwara went down on one knee and took up Usagi's hand. "Fujiwara." Usagi blushed heavily.

"N-nice to mee-meet you, Fujiwara…" she mumbled. "There's a map on your PDA, but since I'm here, I'll show you the way."

"Thanks," replied Ryo. "By the way, are you a freshman?"

"Yup!" she laughed. "Aren't you excited?"

"Totally!" Fubuki shouted a little too loudly. Usagi began to skip.

"This is so awesome. Already, I've met three people. This year's gonna be awesome, I can tell," she stated. Fujiwara shook his head slowly.

"If she's so confident about that, why do I get this bad feeling?" he asked softly, but only Ryo heard him, and he didn't reply.

Short, I know, but the chapters will get longer as this story gets more exciting.
