"We can use my personal lodge in the Rockies," offered Seto. Shortly after Yami's mysterious return, Seto started to actually attempt to befriend the gang. Of course, Joey didn't like that idea. Yugi was able to persuade Joey to give Seto a chance, and now Joey is actually getting along very well with Seto.

"Personal lodge!? Man, Yugi was right, it is great having a rich friend!" shouted Joey.

"Hey!" retorted Yugi.

"It's fine Yugi, I could tell 'mutt' was lying," joked Seto.

"You wanna fight big shot!" yelled Joey as everybody started laughing.

"Come on Joey, let it go," sighed Yugi as he was holding back Joey.

"Are you gonna order or am I gonna have to kick you out?"

"Ha, ha, very funny, Téa. I'll have a Choco-Crunch Grandé Sundae," answered Joey.

"I'll have a large latté," responded Seto.

"Yami, Yugi, can you two stop kissing each other long enough to tell me what you're gonna to order?"

"Sorry, we'll have the same as Joey … to share," said Yami as he blushed beet-red.

"Hey, Big Bro," greeted Serenity.

"Hey, Sis. Hey … Duke! What are you doing with my sister? What are doing with him?"

"Whoa, whoa, calm down, dude. I just picked her up from the book store to take her to the hotel to see you, she called; when we got their, Solomon said you had come here," explained a fairly calm Duke.

"Do y'all want to come with us to my personal lodge in the Rockies?" offered Seto.

"Sure," answered Serenity and Duke in unison.

"What use is it having friends, if you can't take them anywhere or mooch off of them, right 'mutt'?" stated Seto.

"Why I aught to…"

"Joey…," warned Serenity.

"What about you Téa?" questioned Seto.

"I can't, I'll have to work all break just to pay my part of the hotel stay."

"Don't worry, I'll pay for the stay," offered Seto.

"I don't know, I don't want be a bother."

"Téa."

"Okay!"

"Look there's Tristan and Ryo," pointed out Yugi.

"How hard is it to tell us where you'll be? We've been walking through this town for two hours trying to find you." griped Tristan.

"Ryo, do you and 'crybaby' want to come with us to Seto's personal lodge?" asked Joey before checking with Seto.

"My new car can only hold seven people."

"That's okay my uncle's letting me use his new Mustang. Tristan, if you want, you can ride with me." Ryo offered to Tristan.

"Okay with me."

"When did you want to leave?" Ryo asked.

"This afternoon works," everybody agreed.

"Oh, well it's going to take longer than that find all my essentials to pack up," stuttered Ryo.

"We never unpacked," thought Tristan.
