Preview of A Summer Mystery
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was a terrific summer day and Yugi and his friends Tea, Ryou, Malik, Joey, Serenity, and Mai were not about to waste it! After their sleepless nights studying and their exam finals their work paid off when they all graduated! Except for Serenity and Mai of course, they were both either too young or too old to be graduation. Joey had somehow managed an A on each exam so he joined his shocked but happy friends at the graduation ceremony. They were all currently in Domino's best spot to be on a fine day like this, Domino City Park, near the lake.
Ryou splashed his feet around in the lake's cool water while Yugi and Tea lied on the grass and laughed amongst themselves. Joey and Serenity were taking turns pushing each other on the tree swing next to the lake and Malik and Mai were off arguing while throwing acorns and flowers at each other.
Ryou looked up at the clouds and suddenly said "Wouldn't it be neat to start a restaurant? Especially with your friends helping you run it and such."
The birds instantly stopped singing. An acorn bounced off Mai's head and Joey was in mid-swing.
Ryou looked up a little shocked. "Well, it was just my idea!"
Not even the crickets could remember how to make a noise.
"Uhm.. uhm. forget I said anything." Ryou crouched into a little ball.
Malik frowned and looked around "Come on guys!" his voice shocking everyone. "That isn't such a bad idea!" He stood up straight. "I mean, we're out of high school, and this is a time to get new experiences!" He looked at Mai and Tea. "Plus we could be earning a little extra spending money for cars and Dance School tuitions." He drew out the words.
Mai and Tea looked at each other, then smiled and nodded. "Yeah... you've got a point!"
"Plus it'll be an exciting challenge! Whaddya say?" He raised his arms in a shrugging position and looked at everyone.
Joey nodded. "Alright! I'm up for it!" He punched his fist into his palm for emphasise.
"Me too!" Yugi piped up.
Ryou smiled and mouthed a thanks to Malik. "Well, why don't we start tomorrow?"
"Why don't we start today?!" Everyone squealed in unison. "COME ON!"
~~~
So for a whole month everyone did their best to get the restaurant ready. Ryou got the deal with the landlord, Serenity got the furniture, Yugi got advertisements, Mai was in charge of the decorations, carpeting, chandeliers and such, Tea made the menus and little nick picks, Malik did financial business, and Joey helped buy supplies.
After that month their restaurant was ready.
Malik looked back and forth between everyone. "Ready guys?"
Everyone nodded. "Ready."
They took a deep breath. "YES! WE DID IT!"
Everybody was celebrating! Celebrations ended though the next day when they opened the restaurant for the very first time.
~~~
With everyone contributing and everyone working with their best talents the business blossomed very quickly. Everyone who ate there complimented on the nice environment, service, and the quality of the food. Ryou was indeed a great cook.
There were some problems though, such as the restaurant down the street sending threatening letters about somehow putting them out of business, but that was really minor, plus the threat didn't seem like a big deal everyone thought. That was until strange things started occurring.
