Four Becoming One: A Yu Gi Oh Story [Completed]

Chapter 42.1

JP (XYZ) POV

[I'm in the World Duel Carnival Finals. I am on the road of revenge. I have scores to settle. I want to face Quinton because he mistreated Kite. So I want to avenge him for Kite since he's no longer here. I want to face Quattro because he hurt Bronk and Caswell. He was also Shark's rival and cheated Shark in the championship. I'm going to beat him for Shark. I have things riding on this tournament and I won't stop until they're done. But before I do all of this, I have something that is more terryifying then dueling very dangerous people who could possible kill me. I had to deal with the party before the finals. I have my invitation and I'm walking through school. I'm the talk of the school. If I wasn't before I am now. Girls have been flirting with me all week and asking me to take them to the party. It apparently is the fanciest party of the year. I turn a corner and overhear Tori and Cat talking]

Cat: You haven't even picked out a dress yet! Why should you go with JP if you aren't even prepared to go!

Tori: I've known him longer than you! Plus, I didn't need to rearrange his clothes just for him to talk to me!

Cat: That was only a few times!

[I decide to walk away. There is no way I'm getting into that mess. Honestly, I don't even have a person in mind to go with me. I can go just by myself. Bronk, Caswell, and Flip find me]

Bronk: Hey, JP, if the girls don't work out...maybe you could take one of us?

JP: Not you too.

Caswell: Come on, JP! It will be fun!

JP: Really? Bronk would only eat. Caswell would embarrass himself. Who knows what plan Flip has?

[Silence]

JP: I have some place I have to be.

[I leave to go to the hospital to see a friend. She is lying in a bed with bandages on her eyes]

Rio: JP? Is that you?

JP: With your heighten senses you knew it was me?

Rio: I'd recognize those footsteps and that smell from anywhere.

JP: Cool on the first part. Little creepy on the second.

Rio: Why you here?

JP: Can't I just pay a visit?

Rio: I can feel it in the air. Something's wrong.

JP: It's the final's party.

Rio: Can't find someone to go with you?

JP: Actually, I have plenty of people to ask. I just don't know who.

Rio: I have competition I see.

[I chuckle]

Rio: Just ask one of them. There is no wrong choice.

JP: I know that you can't come but what would you say if I asked you?

Rio: I'd say yes in a heartbeat and probably kiss you.

JP: Who says you can't do that now?

[Rio points to her bandages]

JP: Right. Well, I'd kiss you back.

[I see the time]

JP: I have to go. I'll see you later.

Rio: Have fun, JP.

[I sigh as I walk away. I go outside. Anna lands beside me]

Anna: Hey! How's it going?
