B-B-Battle City Blast! Oh yeah!
Espeon-*Shakes head* Idiot.
Yeah, yeah. I decided to post this anyway, cause I just LOVE Battle City. Well, most of it anyway. This chapter is the prologue and, if I haven't already, I will post the actual chapter soon. It starts a few days after I got back from Domino the first time. So no, it doesn't really explain why that shiz in the last chapter of Dueling In: Duelist Kingdom happened. That's for another story: Why Can't Life Ever Be Easy? So I hope you enjoy this and the next chapter. I'm still on Vacay so chapter will be flying out like hot-cakes!
Espeon-What?
"Sam, give that back!" "Make me!" I grabbed his shirt, dragging him back over to me and grabbing the card out of his hand. I then proceeded to toss him, literally toss him, onto the couch. "Hey!" "You stole mah card." I walked into the kitchen, where Ava was sitting on the counter reading a book. I hopped up beside her. "To Kill A Mockingbird. Heard it's a great book." She glanced up, sighing. "How can you be so calm about having to live with them." She tiled her head towards the boys, who were doing...stuffs. "Um...cause I'm not always reading books and actual know how to 'be a boy'." I did the last part in little air quotes. Ava started laughing. " 'Be a boy'? What's that supposed to mean?" "Be like one of the guys. Less like a girl." "Easy for you to say." "Hey, you're talkin' to a freakin' princess. Ah grew up with dresses and..." I shivered. "Heels." Ava burst out laughing, getting shocked looks from all the guys.
"Ava doesn't 'laugh' very often. Not unless Parker's making a total fool out of himself. Which, believe it or not, isn't that often."
I started laughing along with her. No matter how bossy you get, Ava Ayala, you are still my sister. Not literally, of course. Ava has dark skin, brown hair and brown eyes. She's 5'5, give or take a few centimeters, and the second smartest girl I know. The first being Tecna. We stopped laughing when the doorbell rang. The five of us watched curiously as Parker talked to someone outside. He closed the door, an envelope in his hand. "Tara, M.J dropped off this letter for you." "Letter? From who?" "Uh..." He looked down at the note, squinting. "Squiggly lines." I slid off the counter, my boots clacking softly on the floor. Walking over to Peter, I grabbed the note from his hand. "Baka." I said, flicking him."It's note squiggly lines, it's Japanese." I looked down at the envelope. "It's from Yūgi soshite, gyangu." "In English?" Luke asked. "Yugi...and the gang." I slit the envelope open with my claws, taking out the letter.
To whoever gets this...but hopefully Tara.
I snickered. Joey.
We know it hasn't been very long since you saw us, but we still miss ya.
So maybe you can come visit?
We know it's a long way from New York to Domino, but with your magic
you can get here lickety split! So what do ya say?
Grandpa already has the guest room ready, and a few cards we both think you'll like.
If you're busy, we understand. But, try to come. Please?
I smiled. Yugi.
I was thinking we could have a girls' day out! Wouldn't that be fun?
I'm stuck hanging around with the guys. I'm not saying it isn't exciting but...
well, it would be nice to hang out with a girl. My age. You know?
Tea...
A girls' day out? Tea, you're crazy.
Tristan. Definitely Tristan.
Anyway, we'd love to have you back here!
I want a rematch! You threw our Duelist Kingdom Duel!
And I'd love to duel you too. I never got the chance.
If you beat the King of Games, well that would be-
TRISTAN!
Get here if ya can!
The gang.
P.S, I've finally perfected my ninja skills! You have been warned!
I laughed, looking at a smiling Danny. "Joey." We said in unison. I flew into Ava's and my room, stuffed a few things into my bag and flew over to the door. "Aren't you forgetting something?" "Uh..." I looked down. Not in my ...got my bag... I glanced to my side, a pink cat staring back at me. And Espeon. Oh! I flicked my wrist, a spiral of magic going over me, then disappearing.
My outfit for the trip? A grey, waist-length tank top that had 'Yolo' written across it with a red glow. A star with the same design was on the side. Of course, I had my jean shorts, black gloves and boots. My hair was in a ponytail and the Millennium Necklace was intact. I grabbed the Winged Dragon of Ra off the counter and flew out the door, yelling, "Love ya guys!" Really? Sam's voice said in my head. You know what I mean, Bucket-Head.
...
I mentally slapped myself. Why, you ask? Because I forgot the Time-Zones were different. It was two A.M in Japan! I sighed, sitting on the steps of the Kame Game Shop. I was about to grab a book when the door opened. Glancing back, I saw a half-awake Yugi standing in the doorway. "Sorry, Yug." I whispered. "Forgot the time difference." Yugi smiled. "Oh, it's okay. I didn't think you'd come so fast." I laughed softly, Yugi joining in. He shut the door carefully and sat down beside me. I automatically gave him a big hug.
"I don't care how early it is, I am giving me lil' friend a hug! Deal!"
"Nice to see ya." "Same here." He yawned, causing me to giggle. "You are just so...adorable!" Yugi blushed slightly. "Um...thanks?" I laughed. "Sorry, but you really are." We chatted for a bit, not about anything in particular, just...stuff. "So, wait...the place where the rest of your team lived got blown up, so they, along with you, are living in your friend Peter's house?" "Mmhmm." "It's four boys, against two girls?" "Yep." "And it's not torture to you?" "Not for me. It is for Ava, though." We both laughed slightly. "Hey, Yugi, would it be okay if I talked to Yami?" He tilted his head, before shrugging. "Sure." The Puzzle activated, and after the light died down I was looking at the Spirit of the Puzzle.
"Hey." "Hello. Why did you want to talk to me?" "Well actually, Luna wanted to talk to you, but she's asleep." "I see. What did she want to talk about?" "Don't know."...awkward silence...and then..."Damn, I never noticed how much you two look alike." Yami raised an eyebrow, obviously curious. "I mean, her hair has only two colors. Black with blonde bangs, but she has the same eye color, though hers is more purple. And she's tall, like taller than me. Not by much, but still." Wait...
Chibi Tara runs up my head and pulls a cord, turning on a light bulb.
"Holy crap!" I whisper-yelled. "What is it?" "When I found the Millennium Necklace, some hieroglyphs said she was the Pharaoh's daughter. I thought it was that time's pharaoh, but pharaohs are usually called just that, unlike Kings." "What are you saying?" "The Millennium Items are from ancient Egypt, and since you two are the Spirits of the Puzzle and Necklace, you guys have to be from the same time! Luna already knows that, but her memories are all whacked. Seriously, Ava and I spent a whole weekend trying to un-whack 'em. Anywho, she can't identify her dad, or any of her relatives!" "You think we're related?" "It's a long shot, but it's possible!" "I-I don't know." "I know it sounds crazy, but it might mean somethin'! Aren't you willing to try?" He was about to answer, when the door opened once again. "Yugi, what are you-oh, hello Latara." "Mr. Motou." "Come in, it's late and it's cold." Yami and I glanced at each other, but went in anyway.
We will continue this tomorrow.
You mean today?
Today, tomorrow, whatever! Remember it's yesterday in New York!
I heard Yami laugh, then it turned into Yugi's laughter. I laughed to myself, walking into the guest room.
