One day, during class, Alexis impressed Dr. Crowler with her knowledge of trap cards. Afterwards, Crowler wanted Syrus to tell him about field spells, but when Syrus couldn’t answer, Jaden stood up to Crowler and pointed out how Jaden beat him in a duel. Crowler couldn’t stand having Jaden in the school and decided to devise a plan to get him expelled.

Later, Syrus and Jaden were in Professor Banner’s class. Syrus thanked Jaden for sticking up for him. Meanwhile, Crowler was writing a letter and then sealed the envelope with a kiss. While the students were in gym class, Crowler put the letter with Jaden’s shoes, but the locker belonged to Syrus. After he read the letter, Syrus believed that Alexis was in love with him. The letter said to meet her behind the girl’s dormitory at midnight.

That night, Jaden went to his dorm room, and Chumley explained that Syrus left a little while ago. He was crossing the lake, by boat, towards the dormitory. Meanwhile, Crowler hid in the bushes behind the dormitory. He planned to take a picture of Jaden trespassing and breaking school rules, so that he would be expelled. Alexis and her two friends decided to chill out in the hot tub. Alexis talked about how it was cool that Jaden stood up to Crowler. She wanted to duel him herself and find out how good he really is.

While outside, Syrus showed up and Crowler was disappointed to find out that his plan backfired. The girls caught Syrus and he explained to Alexis about the letter. It was obvious to her that someone set Syrus up, but she decided to use the situation to her advantage. Meanwhile, Jaden received an anonymous e-mail saying to come to the girl’s dorm if he wants to see Syrus again. Jaden came and Alexis challenged him to a duel. If he wins, Alexis and her friends won’t report Syrus to the chancellor. Jaden agreed and was ready to duel.

Alexis: summoned Etoile Cyber (1200) and placed one card face down. Jaden: summoned Sparkman (1600) and attacked Etoile Cyber, but Alexis played her trap card, Doble Passe, which made her take a direct attack from Sparkman, but then Etoile Cyber got to attack Jaden directly. Plus, when Etoile Cyber attacks directly, her attack points increase by 600 (1800). Alexis (2400 LP): summoned Blade Skater (1400) and then played Polymerization to fuse her with Etoile Cyber to summon Cyber Skater (2100), who destroyed Sparkman. Jaden (1700 LP): played the field spell, Fusion Gate, which lets him fusion summon a monster without needing Polymerization. He fused Avian and Burstinatrix to summon Flame Wingman (2100), and then equipped him with the magic card, Kishido Spirit, which allows Wingman to destroy a monster with equal attack points. Wingman attacked, but Skater’s special ability prevents her from being destroyed when the opponent only has one monster on the field. Alexis: equipped Skater with the magic card, Fusion Weapon, which raised her attack by 900 points (3000). Skater destroyed Wingman and Alexis ended her turn. Jaden (200 LP): summoned Clayman (800/2000) and played the magic card, Monster Reborn, to bring back Sparkman. He then used Fusion Gate to fuse the two monsters together and summon Elemental Hero Thunder Giant (2400), whose special ability can destroy one monster whose original attack points are lower then his own. Thunder Giant used its special attack to destroy Skater and then his normal attack to attack Alexis directly. Jaden won the duel.

Afterwards, Alexis kept up her end of the deal and let the two friends go. Jaden hoped to duel Alexis again sometime, especially since it was such a close duel. After they left, one of Alexis’ friends was starting to suspect that Alexis had a crush on Jaden. As for Crowler, he was angry that his plan failed, but he vowed to find someway to get rid of Jaden.
