He was nervous- very nervous. Uncharacteristic, some would say of him. There was no turning back. The invitations had been sent. No retrieving them.
The thought of seeming them together made him nervous- all of them together. It wasn't a bad sort of nervous, though, more of an excitement. So many what ifs fought their way through his head, but he ignored them to the best of his ability.
"Mr. Fudo?" Said the assistant, whose name eluded him for the moment.
"Hmm," Yusei looked up from his half-bitten pen. God, he had to get his nerves together. He hadn't even written anything!
"Um, you have a visitor. Mr. Hogan is here to see you. He said something about not taking no for an answer?" She looked half puzzled, but wasn't questioning anything.
One down, The twenty-eight-year-old scientist thought, inwardly.
"Ah, yes…" Yusei dug through his brain for a name to match the face. Lately, everything was on his mind- especially Team 5D's. And the wedding. And the reunion of 5D's the wedding would ensue. And if everyone would be able to make it. And if they weren't able. And his experiment, which could possibly double the speed of a runner. But not his new assistant.
She barged in a week ago, sent by Martha. One of the orphans, but one of the newer ones, obviously. Or else, Crow would have been a bit longer.
"Sorata," She reminded him, impatiently brushing strands of her brunette hair away from her face.
"Send him in to the lab, please," He scuffled a little in his seat to get up.
"Yes, sir. Oh, my classes at the academy run late today. What time would you expect me to close up?" Sorata asked, placing her clipboard on his desk, with the results from the last experiment.
"Five, if possible. I have a bunch to get done, so would you mind cleaning the machines before you leave?" Yusei got up, his legs jittery still, but less than before.
"Yes, sir," She exited to the main hall, leaving Yusei to tend to Crow in the lab, alone.
It had been ten years since team 5D's had seen each other. Not that Yusei hadn't seen them all, just on different days on different occasions. Luna and Leo stopped by when they were near the city. Jack, too, and when he needed his runner checked. Crow, more than often, keeping tabs on the orphans and how everyone was doing. And Akiza, who had sworn she wouldn't say goodbye because she'd return to Neo Domino, did return. She had become a doctor at the Neo Domino local hospital, which she was more than familiar with. And, of course, she and Yusei had picked up where they left off, eventually to come to this- engaged, blessed by both of her parents, and, of course, Martha. For the most Leo, Luna, and Jack had been here on the same day, but never a full reunion.
There was often calls- several of them, video chats- five way, six if Leo was away from Luna, but never face to face to face to face- you get the idea. And the six of them, together again- the thought of all of them being here was even more terrifying than someone missing. What if they changed for the worse? What if they argued?
They wouldn't, we've matured, but we're still us. Yusei told himself when the question pronged his mind. And here he was. Ready to begin wedding preparations.
But little did Fudo, or Hogan, or any of them really know, life at Neo Domino would always hold room for the legacy of Team 5D's.
And the reunion had just begun.
A/N:
Damn, I saw the last episode and I was crying! I just had to do this, so I wouldn't feel too bad for myself. I know- it's horrible. I really don't why I put it out here- I just do. I'm sorry for the sucky work- truly, I am.
I might continue- as I said before it sucks! So I don't know. Reviews and constructive criticism welcome. I hope you all have a Great Day!
