Alex sat in Duel Theory heavily, sighing as he pulled out his homework, looking over the 2500 word essay with a tired glance. "So, how did you sleep?" Abel asked, plopping down beside him, propping her feet on the desk as she leaned back in her chair. "Sleep? I barely got to close my eyes before I had to get up this morning," Alex replied, yawning heavily. He waved to a styrofoam cup, thanking Ra for coffee before taking a mouthful. 'That 25 DP was so worth it,' Alex thought. Even Foxfire was out of his card, drinking a smaller cup for himself. Abel only shrugged when she saw the essay Alex had, waving her hand casually. "I will do it tomorrow," she said, getting Alex to mutter to himself as he finished the rest of his coffee.

Like every morning, Alex took a glance up to the point board, smiling to himself with pride that he was in second place, fifty points below Abel. 'Just answer a bunch of questions and I can win me a card!' Alex thought to himself with a determined smile. Mr.Zexal walked in at that moment, his usual kind smile on his face as he greeted the class. "Now, as I am sure you all are aware of, today is the final day of the month. At the end of the class day, the person with the most amount of points will receive one card from my collection," Mr. Zexal said, getting a few murmurs in response.

"Now, to get the class started, can anyone tell me what Metalmorph does?" Mr.Zexal asked, a picture of the aforementioned card popping up on the screen above him. "Metalmorph. A trap card that can equip to one target monster and gives 300 attack points to the targeted creature. This trap card can be activated during the opponents battle phase, or, more optimally, during your own. Metalmorph has a special effect that gives your monster half the attack of its target for an attack. A duelist may have three copies of Metalmorph in their deck. I would know because I have one myself," a female voice said, one that Alex hadn't heard before.

The entirety of the class jaws dropped at who they saw answered the question. A female with pitch black hair stood before them, her faintly tanned skin making her-. "She has red eyes!!!!" a student cried, getting a few students to gasp and even one to faint on the spot, much to Alex's amusement. The teen groaned in response to the student that spoke, touching her eye. "They are just colored contacts!" she exclaimed, looking annoyed. Alex was startled by the contrasting colors, The eye she took the contact out of was a raging, stormy blue, making Alex think he had seen the color before.

"Hello miss. Can you please tell the class your name?" Mr.Zexal asked the student, his clipboard ever handy. "This young lady, Professor Zexal, is Ebony Kiaba. She transferred in two days ago and was just able to make a trip to our school from Brooklyn," a new voice said with a kind tone. Alex looked and saw that it was an older man with long orange hair streaked with silver. "Ah, so this is the lady I was hearing rumors about via the staff Principal Crow. Alright, Ms. Kiaba, you may take a seat where ever you like. Also, I know you won't know about it, but since you answered the question I had just asked... you get 300 points added to your score, making you the victor," Mr.Zexal said, getting an uproar from the class, mostly complaints.

Alex's attention was drawn to a noise over the crowd, his eyes going up as searched for the source. 'Whee! A new area to fly around in! Yayyyyy!!!' a voice said, getting Alex to laugh. Looking at his shoulder, he saw that Foxfire was jumping in an attempt to catch the small dragon. At one attempt, the dragon swooped down, catching the fix on its back. 'Wahoooo!!!' Foxfire hollered, getting Alex to groan a little in response. When he looked down, he saw that the new girl was looking at him, Ebony giving him a small smile and an apologetic look. Alex smiled back, glad that she wasn't offended.

Alex was angry at the new girl, but let it pass after a moment. 'There is always next month,' Alex thought to himself with a shrug, watching as Ebony choose a card with a smile. He turned to look at Abel, only to see that she was blushing faintly. Following her line of sight, he quickly put two and two together with a smile.

"Is someone in wove?" Alex asked, giving a cheesy grin as he spoke in a teasing tone. Abel blushed a deep red before proceeding to kick him out of his seat, Alex only laughing in response. 'Huh. So the Baby Dragon falls in love with Petite Dragon. Who would have thought,' Foxfire said, getting Alex to look at the other spirit monster to see that it was indeed a small reptile on Ebony's shoulder, it's owner walking up the steps. Alex watched as Ebony asked if anyone was sitting by Abel. Alex had to bite his tongue to watch as Abel stuttered through an "N-n-n-no," letting Ebony take Alex's old seat.

Alex watched as the two spirit dragons flutter up and talk to each other, and he was shocked when Baby Dragon was no  Baby Dragon by the things he was saying, especially with the voice it had. Both Alex and Foxfire blushed a deep red after a minute before running out of the class, laughter following them as the door drifted shut.
