Well, here's the revised version of Encounter. I'm finally getting the hang of paragraph format. The settings take place about 2 years after Battle City (and since I have no clue what happened after since I don't read the manga and I'm stuck with the pathetic dubbed series that the dubber's butchered, I don't know what happened after…well…battle city…literally). Then again, I only know about ¾ of what happened there. I still watch it a little, but just out of stupidity since nothing else good is on (at times I even watch Teen Titans (they're more decent than any of the other DC shows in my opinion)). I'd better shut up and start this fic now.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!, Star Fox, or Star Wars, but I do own…something in this fic…a few characters and such. That's all that I know of. Oh, and the idea of this fic (I think).
Encounter
Prologue
It's been two years since Yugi, or should we say Yami, won the Battle City Tournament. Joey and Serenity have been in contact with each other as she still stays with her mother over in who knows where. Yugi has been helping his grandpa around the shop as business seems to run slow…as usual. Yugi and his gramps saw Joey walking in with a joyful face.
"Hey, Joey. This isn't the usual you," Yugi commented.
"Well, the reason why I'm so happy is that Serenity's going to be here tonight!" Joey explained with enthusiasm.
They could see the joy in him since he's so attached to his sister. The bond they share is inseparatable. They haven't seen each other for nearly two years now. If it hadn't been for Yugi's and Joey's efforts, she would've been blinded by then.
"Well, it'd be nice for you to see her again; especially how you two are separated," Grandpa said.
"Yeah, it's nice to talk to her over the phone, but it's better when I could get together with her since we rarely see each other," Joey commented.
"Well, that's good, Joseph. It's good for the soul since she's the only thing you have for a family, besides your mother," Grandpa said.
Joey was then looking into the past; down to Duelist Kingdom. He remembers all of the battles he and Yugi have been through to get to the top to save Serenity and Yugi's grandfather from their demise.
"Hey, Joey," Yugi called.
Joey came out of his senses and questioned, "Huh? What is it?"
"I think we should get to the park. We're suppose to meet the others there."
"Well, then. Let's get going!"
As Yugi walked up to the door with his friend, he had an idea that might work.
"You can even tell them about the news you have!" Yugi suggested.
"No problem. I was going to do that anyways," Joey replied.
"Be careful, Yugi. I don't want you to get killed or anything," Grandpa said.
"I'll be fine, grandpa!" Yugi answered as he left.
As Yugi's grandpa began to close down the store, the phone rang as he was going to go into the living room to enjoy some peace and quiet. He picked up the phone from the hook and put it up to his ear.
"Turtle Game Shop, how may I help you?" Grandpa answered.
As he began to listen, he could hear minute beeps and buzzes coming from the speaker. He listened further and could make nothing out of it. He then hung it up and went into the living room.
"Stupid prank callers!" Grandpa commented.
He then lie down on the couch and fell asleep.
Over in the park, Yugi and Joey arrived after a fifteen minute walk to the park. Everyone that was supposed to be there was. Tea, Mai, Tristan, and Duke were all there, waiting for the other two.
"What took you two?" Mai asked.
"Sorry, we got caught up with our conversation back at the store," Yugi confessed.
"That's fine, bud. We just got here about 5 minutes ago anyways," Tristan commented.
"Now that we're all here, what should we do?" Tea asked.
"We don't have ideas, but I do have an announcement," Joey said.
"What is it, Joey?" Duke asked.
"Well, y'all know Serenity, right?" Joey questioned.
"Yeah, we all know her. Why?" Tristan asked.
"Well, I got a call from her and she'll be here by tonight!" Joey announced.
"WHAT? SHE'LL BE HERE?!?!?" Tristan inquired.
Joey then began to make a soured look as Tristan had him by the collars of his shirt. He couldn't stand him being near her, trying to get Serenity to like him. Joey then shoved Tristan off and then backed off a step.
"Yes, she'll be here, BUT YOU'D BETTER STAY AWAY FROM HER!!!!" Joey warned.
"What's wrong with you? If you're referring to last time we were together, I was only trying to be friends with her," Tristan said.
"Yeah, after trying to flirt with her hundreds of times," Mai commented.
Duke was thinking about her too. He remembers all of the competition that Tristan and Duke have over Serenity. Duke knows that she can't choose both, but he also knows that she can choose neither.
"Are you going to pick her up?" Tea asked.
"Of course I am! She's coming by train so I'm her only ride here." Joey answered.
"This'll be nice seeing her," Duke said.
"AND YOU'D BETTER STAY AWAY FROM HER TOO!!! IF EITHER OF YOU TRY ANYTHING STUPID, I'LL KNOCK THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF YOU!!!" Joey threatened.
Everyone stood there, staring at him as if they were all petrified. Joey then calmed down and looked at everyone with a cheerful face.
"Besides, she'll be here for the school year. If she likes it here, then she'll stay," Joey said.
"That'll be even better. I can get my opportunity to win her heart!" Tristan thought as Joey said that.
"When will she be here by?" Mai asked.
"Uh…I think…5:00," Joey answered.
"FIVE!!! THAT ONLY GIVES YOU AN HOUR TO GET THERE!!!!" Tea shouted.
"WHAT???"
Joey then left the others in a hurry, trying to get back to his apartment to pick up his car. By the time Serenity gets there, he'll be very late.
"Damn it! Why didn't I see it earlier?" Joey thought as he was starting up his car.
Half an hour has passed ever since the train made its stop at the station. Sitting alone at one of the benches outside, a young girl at the age of fifteen was waiting for someone. Her long red hair was whisping in the calm wind as her presence was harmoniously undisturbed. She kept looking around for someone every so often, waiting for that person to be there.
"When will Joey be here?"
As she looked up again after 10 minutes, she saw a car sitting at the curb as a young blonde with a white T-shirt that has a blue stripe across it (duh, it's Joey). He has a bright smile on his face as she began to smile as well.
"Hey, Serenity," Joey called.
The only thing she could do was stand up and hug Joey. Serenity hasn't seen him in a long time, despite the fact that they're together again.
"Joey. I missed you," Serenity said. Her eyes were filled with tears when she looked up to Joey. He knows that she expresses emotions more than most people would.
"Well then. Shall we get going?" Joey asked.
"Okay."
After Joey put Serenity's suitcase into the trunk, Joey got back into the car with Serenity and drove back to Domino. Little did they know something is amongst them; watching the people interact as the ship was sitting in orbit.
Yeah, strange starter, but I do have other things planned. Reason why I used Grandpa instead of Solomon is because mainly…I hate Sugeroku's dubbed name. I don't mind using Sugeroku at times, but I will use both every so often from here on out (Sugeroku and Grandpa (same people)); I just never liked the name Solomon for Grandpa. Next fic should be soon.
