Manayugi: Chapter Rewrite! I began this story close to two years ago, and looking back at this chapter I find it's that great. It's not a complete rewrite, I'm more so adding/editing/changing sentence structure and names.

Disclaimer: No I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!

"Talking…"

"Thinking.."

Oh my god, it's a line….

It was another stupid day in school, in the same stupid school, in the same stupid town. Domino city became a pretty dull place after all the magic and weird Egyptian stuff had ended. Duel monsters lost its popularity and the newest craze was sweeping the nation.

Yugi and his friends were still pretty close, but not did hang out as much as they used to. More so Yugi didn't hang out as much, it was just that they wanted to do the same things every weekend. Lunch at Burger World, arcade till God knows when, and then a movie a Anzu's. Yugi still liked his friends, he was just so bored. The same things week after week, frustrating the teen till he exploded. He wanted to speak up on the matter, but his friends seemed so excited that they didn't notice that the young duelist wasn't.

The bell rang, signaling the end of class. Hurray TGIF! Yugi's friends approached his desk, smiles plastered across their faces. He knew exactly what they were going to say. Beginning with Jounouchi…

" Hey Yuge! We're goin' to Burger World…" Jounouchi exclaimed with glee. Yugi sighed, his blond friend had quite the appetite and the mention of burgers would set him off.

Then Tristan…

" Then we'll head over to the arcade! I heard there's a new DDR game…" Honda said causally. He held his book bag over his shoulder, and his other hand in his pocket.

"I swear, if they say movies at Anzu's, I will scream." Yugi thought to himself, while he felt a twitch in his muscles as he tried to keep his cool.

And you guessed it, Anzu…

"Then movies at my place! I was thinking …" Yugi's eye twitched at that statement. The name of the movie was lost as soon he heard the beginning of her sentence. "So Yugi, what do you think?"

"You want to know what I think?" His friends nodded, with excitement in their eyes.

"You really want to know what I think?" Again Yugi's friends nodded, but this time jumped around in anticipation. Like children on Christmas. Their excitement blinded them as to seeing that Yugi was not happy.

" I think it's …" Yugi started but cut off by a chorus of…

"Yeah!"

"It's…" Again he is cut off by the overly excited chorus.

"Yeah! Yeah!"

"… A BUNCH OF CRAP!" Yugi yelled as he slammed his fists on his desk and stood up from his chair which toppled over. All was silent for a moment or so. Yugi's outburst was extremely odd for the gang. They thought Yugi would love the idea, and it's not like he had ever heard him complain. Unknown to them this was a problem that had been brewing for some time.

"Yuge what's the matter?" Jounouchi asked Yugi. He then turned to Honda and Anzu. "We thought it was a great idea. Right guys?"

"What's the matter? We do the same fucking (1) thing every weekend! Burger World, arcade, movie at Tea's! The same crap, over and over again! Why can't we do something new? Like go to the mall, watch movies at a real theatre, or eat at a restaurant that doesn't have the words burger or world in it?" Yugi felt a little better after that. He finally got that all off his chest, and maybe now they could work out something that they could all enjoy. Sure it was a little harsh, but sometimes that was it take to make change.

"Hey! We're just trying to have a good time! You don't have to be a jerk about it!" Honda responded angrily.

"But you guys…" Yugi tried to respond, but was interrupted by Jounouchi. Yugi was really starting to hate being interrupted.

"Yeah! And what's wrong with Burger World? (2)" Jounouchi also said angrily. Almost in a rage, of the Brooklyn variety. (3)

"Wha.." He was not expecting this to happen. Yugi was once again interrupted. This time by Anzu who was in complete drama queen mode.

" *sniff* I thought you liked spending time with your us Yugi. *sniff sniff* and I thought you liked my movie system?" Anzu went on, but it wasn't understandable through all the sobs.

" I just wanted …"

"Come on guys, let's go have fun without him." Jounouchi said with an emphasis on the word 'him' as he and the rest left Yugi even angrier than before. What the hell! What was that? They were the ones who never thought Hey Yugi might not want to do this!, and now he was being labeled as the villain! The first time he actually expressed what he really felt, which they were always trying to get him to do. And he finally does so, and he's yelled at? Yugi went over all of this in his mind as he walked down the hall to leave school. Once he got to the school doors, it was raining…

" Dammit..." Yugi said. He forgot his umbrella at home. And now had to run through the rain. On his long and wet journey home, he was splashed by a passing car, and some kid rode his bike through mud splattering it on Yugi's pants. He wasn't happy until he saw the pink neon sign of the game shop, the sign that told his that this craptastic day was almost over. Yugi reached to open the door, only to find it locked. Weird. He saw a note tucked away off to the side.

Dear Yugi;

Went to visit an old friend, who I haven't seen in years. He's in town for a couple of days, and phoned to catch up. Supper is in the fridge, just heat it up in the microwave. I'll be back at 7:00 sharp!

Love, Grandpa

Alright, Yugi reached into his pocket to retrieve his house keys but they were not there. He checked his other pockets and his back pack, but they were still not to be found. Yugi felt as though he was going to cry. The door was locked, Grandpa wouldn't be home till late, and the worst of it, his keys were in the house. So he sat by the door, since it was covered from the rain. People walking by stared at him, occasionally whispering to each other about the strange boy sitting in front of a closed store in the rain. Finally at 7:45 pm, Grandpa came home. He was late because he and his old friend got to reminiscing and maybe got into the brandy. The elderly man walked up to the door, smile plastered on his face as he looked for the right key. His happy expression soon turned to confusion as he noticed his soggy grandson sitting by the door.

"Yugi, what on earth are you doing out here?" he asked. Yugi looked up at him, his face looked tired, and he had tears streaming down his face. Because that's what a lot of people look like when their friends yell at them, and get soaked on the way home, and get locked out of their home for over 3 hours. Grandpa reached out a hand to help up his upset grandson, and put an arm around his shoulders. "Common by boy, let's go inside."

Once inside Yugi explained what had happened. Sugoroku shook his head, the next time he saw those three he was going to give them a pieces of his mind. He reheated Yugi's dinner, got him warm dry cloths, and a tasty mug of hot chocolate with whipped cream and cinnamon on top. After that Yugi bid goodnight to his Grandpa and sauntered up stairs into his nice warm bed. Never had it felt so inviting and calming. Yugi took a breath in smelling the fragrance of the laundry soap used to wash the sheets. Soon he lulled of to sleep, where he dreamt of a life that wasn't so mundane.

Manayugi: There's the first chapter! Some of the content in this story is from personal experience. I have had friends do this to me, where I'll speak my mind about something. And then then next minute my head is chewed off. Oh well…. Please Read and Review!

1) Yugi! Language!

2) Seriously, I've seen it in the anime and manga. What kind of fast food restaurant has waitresses? NOTE: I've been informed that there is a fast food place like this in the United States (Steak & Shakes) I was more so referring to fast food restaurants like McDonalds or A&W. Also I have heard of Steak & Shakes, we don't have them here in Canada, but I wasn't aware it was fast food. I thought it was a normal restaurant.

3) Brooklyn Rage! Thank you LK!

P.S. I'm taking suggestions for this story. Such as locations characters Yugi should encounter. This would help me very much, and more updates would come out.
