//------------------------------// // Freshman Year: Duel 2 // Story: Yu-Gi-Oh! Friendship is Dueling 0 // by Bahamut0 //------------------------------// "Oh man! I didn't expect this place to be so big!", Burst said as he took in just how big CHS was. "Man...where do I head next?" "GANGWAY!", a rainbow-haired girl said as she was running through the hall! However, Burst didn't hear the warning in time! Rainbow Dash shook her head from the crash. "Oh man! Sorry about that! You okay?" Burst got up and dusted himself off. "I'm fine. Nothing broken or bruised.", Burst said with a small smile. "You must have gone fast enough to break the sound barrier!" "Thanks! Name's Rainbow Dash! Soon to be the best athlete in the school! What's your name?" "Burst Stream. It's my first day." "Then we're headed to the same place! The principal says all new freshman need to head to the gym to get their schedules! Hope you can keep up!" The two of them ran off to the auditorium and made it just in time to find get their schedules. Burst was confused on where to go, but he soon found out. "Excuse me? Are you having trouble?", a voice asked. Burst turned around, and his jaw dropped! He was looking at Principal Celestia. But at that moment, she looked like the most beautiful sight in the world. "Uh...yeah. How are the schedule pick-ups organized?", Burst asked while trying not to blush. Celestia smiled. "The schedule pick-ups are organized by last name. Hope that helps you." "Th-thanks!", Burst said as he went off to get his schedule. After he got it, Burst noticed Rainbow being picked on by a group of three guys. And from the looks of things, she was getting pretty annoyed. "So Rainbow CRASH.", Dumbbell said with a sneer. "Looks like you had another one of your famous run-ins with a guy." "Yeah. Especially if she made him wind-up in the nurse's office!", Hoops added. "Actually, I'm just fine.", Burst said as he walked up to them. "Didn't your moms ever teach you to treat girls better?" "...Says the guy wearing a necklace.", Dumbbell said with a smirk as he tried to snatch Burst's necklace. BIG mistake. Burst dodged and pinned Dumbbell to the ground. "That's it! Get your deck out tough guy!", Hoops said as he pulled out his duel monsters deck. "I...don't have a deck.", Burst said. The three bullies then laughed at Burst! "What a loser!", Dumbbell said as he clutched his sides. "You don't even have a deck! Didn't your dad ever teach you how to play?" Burst's mind at that moment broke as he ran away! The bullies were still laughing until a new guy showed up. And he knocked them out cold. "Creeps like that are all the same. Dumb and easy to take down.", Steel said with a smile. "Sorry if I intruded. I bet you could have taken them down no problem." "Thanks. Name's Rainbow Dash." "Steel Edge.", Steel said with a smile. "Sorry to greet and run, but I've gotta get to my class! See ya!" Meanwhile, Burst was outside bawling his eyes out. 'Why? Why did they even bring that up?', Burst thought to himself. As he was crying, he barely noticed a girl with yellow skin and pink hair scoot closer to him. "um, excuse me?", she said quietly. "is everything alright?" Burst heard her and dried his tears. The girl then hugged Burst tightly. "Wow. That's nice. Thank you." "Everyone needs a little kindness.", the girl said with a small smile. "Normally I'm pretty shy, but I can't stand seeing people hurt." "That's awful nice of you. I'm Burst Stream." "I'm Fluttershy.", Fluttershy said with a warm smile. Burst smiled as the two of them headed back into CHS and started their classes. Lunch period soon arrived, and Burst had cleaned his plate almost immediately. "Soooo good!", Burst said with a blissful smile. "I know right?", A girl wearing a stetson hat said. "My Granny Smith is the lunch lady. You GOTTA try the dessert!" "I think I'll take you up on that.", Burst said with a smile as he went to get a piece of apple pie. And the minute he took a bite, he was in dessert heaven. "THIS IS AMAZING!" "Heh heh! Glad you like it sugar cube. Name's Applejack, but you can call me AJ for short." "Burst Stream.", Burst replied with a smile. 'Maybe this first day won't be so bad...' Meanwhile, Inferno was scoping out a place to sit. However he noticed a girl who tripped! Fortunately, Inferno caught her just in time! "Oh my...thank you!", Rarity said. "I almost ruined my outfit." "Well, can't let a beauty like you be ruined.", Inferno said with a wink. Rarity smiled, but then noticed the stain on Inferno's jacket. "Oh, dear! Your jacket!" "Huh? Oh. No big deal.", Inferno said with a shrug. "No, no! This simply won't do! I insist that I take care of such a wonderful garment! It's the least I can do for you. But in return, may I get the name of my knight in shining armor?" "Inferno. And I'm no knight. I'm one handsome dragon!" Rarity giggled. "Pleased to meet you darling. I am Rarity." 'Huh. She's as beautiful on the inside just as much as the outside.', Inferno thought with a smile. "Well thanks for your offer. I'll take you up on it." The rest of the day went by quickly, and as Burst was heading for the door, he bumped into Inferno! "Sorry man! Didn't see ya there." "It's cool.", Burst said as he got a look at Inferno. "Sweet hair by the way! You look like Joseph Joestar. Next you're going to say: Thanks! And you look like Dante from DMC3 with your hairstyle." "Thanks! And you look like Dante from DMC3 with your hairstyle. Huh?!", Inferno was surprised. "Nice trick man! You an anime fan too?" "DBZ all the way.", Burst said with a smile. He then noticed Inferno's deck box. "You a duelist?" "Yeah I am! You play?" "No. I don't own any cards.", Burst said sadly. "But I do like the game." "Well then, let me hook you up. I know a pretty good card shop. It's where I got my monster partner. Red Eyes Black Dragon!", Inferno said as he pulled out his card. "Nice! Maybe I can find a monster partner of my own." Burst text his mom where he would be and that she should pick him up. And with that, he and his friend were off to the card shop.
