Well…this story here is an idea both DP and me had for awhile; a Syrus/Mindy story for my favorite season of the Yugioh Series; Yu-Gi-Oh GX! Enjoy.

Chapter 1: Duel problems

At the Obelisk Blue Girl Dorm, a young woman with black hair and the standard Girl Uniform sighs. Her name was Mindy, and she had a problem; her deck.

She got one out and read the name aloud. "'Rescue Cat' I wonder if that Helena was right, is my deck worthless?" She sighs as she remembered the duel that happened only a few hours ago…

(Flashback)

It shows Mindy with a duel disc, a Rescue Cat in Defense mode out on the field, with only 500 life points left.

Across from her was a young woman with long red hair, dark blue eyes, and a mean look on her face. She had a Amazoness Queen and a Amazoness Blowpiper. The girl owning the monsters was Helena, who smirked.

"Blowpiper, skin that cat! Blow Pipe attack!" said Helena, as her monster destroys the cat. "Now my queen will finish you off! Royal Slash!"

Amazoness Queen ran at Mindy, slashing, sending the other girl's deck onto the ground.

Mindy then says "Ah man…that was not cool."

"What isn't cool is this; you can't even duel." Helena said cruelly. "I'm shocked you got into Obelisk with this joke of a deck. It's worthless."

"No it isn't!" said Jasmine, a brunette who is friends with Mindy. "Leave my friend alone, Helena."

"Tough talk from you, Jazzy. You got a Warrior deck like me. Which is better then those cutesy creeps that your little friend uses." Helena said with a smirk. "She's a joke of a duelist." Mindy looked down at that, feeling embarrassed.

(End of Flashback)

Mindy just looked down at her deck, sighing as she sat down, looking down at her deck and sighs. She then clenches her fists and took her deck and walked out of her dorm.

(Near the lake)

Syrus Truesdale, the new Obelisk Blue student, was walking along side the lake, sorting his cards, sighing a bit. Since his last visit from the Dark Magician Girl, he has been pretty bored since, for some reason, Jaden and Alexis would hang out a lot more.

Syrus sighs and asks, "I wonder how the others are doing?" as he noticed Mindy walked over to the lake edge and actually throwing her cards into the water before sitting down, looking sadden.

"Guess I'm out of here tomorrow…" Mindy whispered to herself, as Syrus walked over.

"Hey Mindy, what's going on?" asked Syrus, sounding worried.

"Oh, hey Syrus…" Mindy said, looking down. "I just decided to quit dueling, that's all."

"What? Why?" asked Syrus, surprised to hear that. He never seen a Obelisk give up, not in a while that is.

"It's Helena, she's right about my deck. It's useless." Mindy said, looking down at the water. "And so am I. I'm just a pretty face here, not strong as Jasmine, or as brave as Alexis, or as good a duelist as you or Jaden, or even Chazz."

"You are!" said Syrus, as she looked at him with surprise. "You know…I used to think I wasn't good enough to be here. But then Jaden helped me get my self esteem back…I think some of his skills must've rubbed off, since I've been getting pretty good."

Mindy nods and says, "Your right, you are getting better…wait, I got an idea!"

"What?" asked Syrus, mentally asking 'How can she switch moods so fast?'

"Maybe you an me can make me a new deck? One that can actually help in duels!" said Mindy, as Syrus began to think about it.

"You sure? Making a deck from scratch?" asked Syrus, wondering if she is serious.

"Yeah! Your friends with Dorothy, so I can get some good cards to start a new deck, right?" asked Mindy, as Syrus nods.

"Sure, I think I can ask Dorothy to help you make a new deck." Syrus said with a smile. Suddenly he was pulled into a hug from Mindy, making his cheeks turn red.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" said Mindy in excitement. "I'll never know how to repay you for wanting to help me?"

"How about not choke me?" asked Syrus, his face turning purple.

"Sorry." Mindy said sheepishly. She then grabs his hand and says, "Come on! The Card shop is about to close!" as she began to run to the card shop, with Syrus dragging behind.

'Wow, she seems excited' thought Syrus as he began to speed up a bit too. "Wait up!" as the two ran to the card shop, wondering how this will turn out later.
