"I think it's simply marvellous," he said with a beam. "I've been looking for something like this. I can see Dungeon Duel Monsters going far Otagi."
Ryuugi's smile deepened. To say it was a dream come true was an understatement. Pegasus was his hero, and he approved of his design. In fact, he more then approved, he liked it!
"Now," Pegasus interrupted his happily stunned mind in a business like manner. "It's late, how about we adjourn for dinner, and afterwards continue discussions?"
"Sure," Ryuugi nodded, still rather stunned.
"Perfect," Pegasus purred.

"So, you have never heard of Funny Bunny?" Pegasus asked amused while looking down the table at Ryuugi, who just shook his head as he played with his meal. The topic of discussion had moved from games to cartoons.
"Well, I guess we are going to have to ramify that," he said, the purr in his voice creeping back in. Looking up the table Ryuugi was almost scared, but at the same time oddly excited.

"May I ask you a question," Ryuugi asked as he watched the flickering fire place.
"I believe you just did," Pegasus pointed out not all the serious as he lounged back in the great armchair he was sitting in.
"Well that and, who is that?" Ryuugi asked as he pointed to a painting of a beautiful young woman above the fireplace. "You said everything in here meant something to you so I was just wondering," he babbled once he saw the look on Pegasus' face.
He sighed, before looking at Ryuugi. "That Ryuugi-boy, was someone who I love dearly," he paused for a moment looking at the other boy up and down. "Tonight however, that is irrelevant."

The island had been like nothing he ever imagined. In light of what happened the night before, Ryuugi couldn't remember what he had originally come for. To say it had been incredible was an understatement, and Ryuugi wasn't normally so easily impressed. As he turned to wave goodbye to his new business partner, the words he had last spoken came unbidden to his head.
"What happens on the island, stays on the island."
The plane that would take him back to the real world opened its door.
"It was a pleasure meeting you," Ryuugi said with an uncontained grin.
"Likewise," Pegasus replied warmly. Before they parted, Pegasus leaned in. "Come again soon," he purred once more, almost whispering. As he walked away it rang throughout his head over and over.
Come again soon.
Come again soon.
Come again soon.
