Hey Cuz,

What's up? I can't wait to see you again this year. Mom and Dad are going to let me stay there for the school year if Grandpa says it's ok. I hope the you can teach me some great combos in Duel Monsters, so that I can be a better player.

I also want to meet your friends. I can't believe that Joey and Tristan used to pick on you! I have some pranks that I wanna test out on him since Seth gave me the ideas for some really great ones.

Your favorite cousin

P.S. If anyone calls me Jo, they're going to regret it.

Byes.

I had checked my e-mail and found that my cousin from America was coming to visit me. I couldn't wait to see her again. The last time I saw her, she was having problems with a couple of bullies named Seth and Teri. Her parents sent her here to give her a break and to visit Grandpa at the same time. That was a few years ago. I wonder what she's like now. "So whatcha readin' Yug?" I jumped. I turned around and saw Joey standing behind me, "A letter from my cousin from America, who's coming to visit in a couple of weeks." Joey grinned, "I can't wait to meet him. I wanna duel your cousin before he leaves." I didn't have the heart to correct him.

"Yugi, what is your cousin like?"

"Her name is Josephine Maria Muto, but she goes by Mana for some reason. The last time I saw her she was into Power Rangers and going through a phase where she wore tights and skirts together. She hates it when people mess with her family and tends to get a bit overprotective at times. She loves pranks, books, and games. I just hope that she's still got the same personality as she did back then."

"People change all the time, Yugi. Some more so than others."

"You're right, Yami. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Three weeks later…

We met at the airport to greet my cousin. Joey still thought that my cousin was a guy, and I didn't have a chance to tell him otherwise. We were waiting near baggage claims for her to arrive. She forgot to send me a recent photo of herself, so I had no clue what she looked like.

Just as Joey sat down on the bench, two hands reached from around the hall and grabbed his shoulders causing him to scream. I jumped up and peeked around the corner to see a girl wearing black jeans, a black t-shirt under a see-through purple one, and sunglasses. She had long black and purple hair which was braided, and purple nail polish. She was leaning against the wall for support as she was laughing so hard. "Man, he sure screams like a girl, Cuz. What's up?" I shook my head, "Still a stealthy as ever, huh, Mana?" She grinned, "Yup. I'm hungry and plane food is disgusting since it's precooked before the flight even leaves the airport, and there's little to no choices."
