3 days later,
" You're allowed to leave the hospital now but try not to strain your legs too much and remember to rest often " the doctor told Alexis
" You hear that Lex? You can leave the hospital now " Jaden said happily and hugged Alexis
" But you still can't duel for a while " said the doctor and Alexis felt depressed
" How long will it take doc? " Jaden asked for Alexis
" Porbably 2 or 3 days " the doctor answered and left
" Its ok Lex, you'll be able to duel again in no time " Jaden said trying to comfort Alexis
" Yeah, you're right " Alexis replied " Do you think we should return to Duel Academy now? "
" Ok, do you need me to help you? " Jaden questioned
" I think I can manage myself " Alexis answered while trying to walk and it wasn't a problem for her
Jaden stopped a taxi while Alexis called her brother to inform him of their return. Then they went to the airport and boarded the earliest flight back to Duel Academy. Alexis laid her head on Jaden's shoulder while Jaden was staring out of the window ever since the plane took off. After a while, Alexis woke up.
" You're not going to sleep Jay? It'll take about an hour more " Alexis said
" I'm okay " Jaden simply replied
" I think you need some rest Jay, you've been taking care of me these few days and I don't think you have enough rest " Alexis said
" Must I? " Jaden asked
" Yeah, you can sleep on my lap " Alexis answered
" You sure Lex? " Jaden asked
" Yeah, you've carried my on your back and your arms and I've slept on your shoulder so many times " Alexis answered " I think its only fair if you sleep on my lap too "
" Ok then, but just a while " Jaden replied and laid down on her lap
" Sleep Jay " Alexis whispered in his ear
" I love you " Jaden whispered back and fell asleep on Alexis's lap facing away from her
Alexis stroked his dark brown hair while he was sleeping on her lap. His head was slightly heavy but Alexis did not complain. Alexis kept staring at her boyfriend's cute face while he was sleeping then she gazed out of the window and saw a sea of white clouds.
After half an hour,
" Are we there yet? " Jaden asked as he turned to face Alexis after waking up as she was still stroking his hair
" Not yet, maybe another half hour " Alexis answered
" Are you ok? I mean me sleeping on your lap " Jaden asked
" Yeah, I'm ok " Alexis answered smiling " Please stay like this until the plane lands "
" Alright " Jaden replied
" Jay, do you remember the reunion party? " Alexis asked
" Yeah, why? " Jaden answered
" Atti just told me its held on Friday( FYI : Today's Wednesday ) " Alexis said
" Oh.. We'll get to see our old friends " Jaden replied
" Yeah and umm... " Alexis said but didn't finish her sentence
" What is it Lex? " Jaden asked
" I want to show you something I didn't show you on our graduation party " Alexis answered
" Oh.. I'm sorry for not showing for the graduation party " Jaden apologized
" Its ok Jay " Alexis said " Just don't run away again this time "
" I won't Lex " Jaden replied " I won't "
" Anyway, what is it that you want to show me? " Jaden asked
" I'm not going to tell you " Alexis answered and stuck her tongue out
" Ok " Jaden said and started tickling Alexis waist then she did the same back to Jaden
They were both giggling and tickling each other when suddenly someone appeared.
" Would you guys get a room? " the someone asked
" Maybe we will " Jaden answered jokingly and not looking at him but he felt that the voice was very familiar
" You! " Alexis shouted while staring at the someone
" Jess! " Jaden shouted right after Alexis and he sat up looking at their blue-haired Crystal-Beast Duelist friend
" Why are you here? " Alexis asked
" Shouldn't I be asking why was Jaden sleeping on your lap? " Jesse asked and Alexis blushed
" She's my girlfriend now " Jaden answered and placed her arm around Alexis's shoulder
" Congratulations to both of you " Jesse said " Looks like what I predicted 5 years ago was true after all "
" What do you mean? " Alexis asked
" It was obvious that you had feelings for Jaden and vice-versa, it was just a matter of time till you guys are together " Jesse answered and both of them started to turn red
" Anyway, why are you going back to Duel Academy? " Jaden asked
" The reunion party of course " Jesse answered " I was specially invited by Chancellor Sheppard
" Who else is invited? " Jaden asked
" From what I heard, Aster, Jim and Axel are coming too " Jesse answered
" Cool! The more the merrier " Jaden said
" I'll leave the two of you to continue whatever you were doing, see you guys later " Jesse said and went back to his seat
" Where were we? " Jaden said playfully and now started tickling Alexis again but Alexis stopped him with a long kiss on his lips
