//------------------------------// // Freshman Year: Duel 8 // Story: Yu-Gi-Oh! Friendship is Dueling 0 // by Bahamut0 //------------------------------// Burst was going to his locker and getting some supplies from his locker. As he closed the door, he found an unexpected visitor at his locker. "Hi Burst.", Sunset said with a smile. "Hey. You're that girl from the card shop.", Burst said. "Nice to see you again. But how did you find out my name?" "I saw you talking with your friends. I'm Sunset Shimmer. And I've gotta say, I'm impressed by your dueling skills." "Thanks. You're pretty good too. It was pretty back and forth between you and Inferno back at the card shop. So is there something I can help you with?" "Well, I'm new here. And I don't have many friends. So..would you be my first?", Sunset asked. "Sure!", Burst said with a smile. "Thanks! Do you know any ways that'll get a lot of people to recognize me?", Sunset asked. "Well, there is one way. You could become the princess of the Fall Formal. If you win that, EVERYONE will know your name. I'd vote for you. Another way is to date someone popular. And I think I know the perfect guy for you. He's one of the best rockers I know. Come on!" Sunset followed Burst. When they arrived where Burst was headed, Sunset saw a boy with light yellow skin and spiky blue hair. "Hey Flash!" "What's up Burst?", Flash asked. "And who's this lovely lady? Your girl?" "Nope. This here's Sunset. Maybe you could make her feel more welcome." "My pleasure. Hey, we still on for the performance at lunch today?" "You know it! See you later! I gotta head for class. You wouldn't mind escorting Sunset would you?" Flash smiled. "No problem." Burst left the two of them alone and watched with a smile. Hoping that the two of them had good luck in their relationship. Later at lunch.... "You ready CHS?!", Burst cried as he, Flash, and the rest of the band took the stage. "Let's go!" The band began to play, and Burst started to sing. Wanna see who has the best Kamehameha? Wanna see the power of dreams when they are raw? Versus! The strongest foe No one but yourself hold you back A fire burning in my veins is breaking me out of my chains And raising my power to the MAX! Our path's filled with uncertainty, but look ahead, then we will see How we'll become a part of history When someone beats me up I always get back up My spirit's always coming back And now it's on the attack! Jump on all your limits and perchance! Throw away your pain in a kind and loving dance! Gorgeous! I'm born again! in the Dragon Balls lies the fate of all man! Wanna see who has the best kamehameha? Wanna see the power of dreams when they are raw? Versus! The future world Where our epic tale will be unfurled! Greater than the best! "Thank you CHS!", Burst shouted! The whole cafeteria cheered! Sunset seemed to be cheering for Flash pretty loudly! "Best not keep your number one fan waiting." Flash nodded as he went over to Sunset. 'They seem like a good couple so far.', Burst thought. As the Fall Formal approached, Sunset announced that she was competing to be the princess. And in a landslide, she won and was crowned at the dance. As she was crowned, she had a new view of her position. 'This love and admiration, this respect, this power. And it's all mine...', she thought. 'This is what I always wanted.' "Thank you! Thank you all!" Burst, Inferno and their friends smiled. "Glad I could help you be happy Sunset.", Burst said. "Come on everyone! Time to get down!" And they danced the night away.
