Yugi nodded determinedly, clutching the puzzle in his hands. "I've never been more sure. We've been waiting for this for months. I've passed up so many opportunities, and I don't think I can wait much longer."
"You won't have to," the former Pharaoh said, giving Yugi a soft kiss on the forehead. "This day has been a long time coming...for the both of us."

He opened his sock drawer and pulled out every roll of quarters he had, stuffing them into pockets and the holster at his waist. He had done the calculations over and over again, saving up his paycheck from the game shop until he had more than enough, just in case they needed more than one round to succeed.

The owner had issued a challenge upon the grand opening, that anyone who could beat all two-hundred and fifty of the arcade's machines would win a prize. And who better to take that challenge than the King of Games?
