Episode One
The sun was shining through the clouds as people ran hurriedly across the busy streets. It was a simple day with fair weather and a nice breeze. And it was on this day that five different girls found themselves at school in the city of Domino. The five had been living in the city for almost a month ever since one of them, Alicia, and her father Chives had moved there to open a restaurant. Each of the other four had quickly found a way to love there and now all four were living with Alicia and Chives.
Rozlyn, whose head was always up in the clouds came from a family of hippie parents who were perfectly okay with their daughter moving so long as she was what they called "in touch with the universe dude."
Gabby's parents were always open to new opportunities and fully supported their daughter moving with her friends, as long as the plane ticket was bought with her allowance.
Elise's rich aristocrat parents were busy touring Europe and were okay with their daughter moving, or traveling with them, whichever she preferred. Elise had preferred to move with Chives and Alicia.
Bailey, out of juvie after some reckless driving, needed a place to live anyways while her parents were in jail and this seemed like as good a place as any.
They all attended High School together, and on this particular day found themselves watching two of their new friends playing duel monsters. Rozlyn stood next to Yugi, who was playing against their friend Joey, who was letting Bailey watch over his shoulder. From the way she was cheering Joey on Gabby guessed Bailey was crushing. Hard.
"Hey Joey, earth to Joey," Yugi teased. "Are you in there? It's your turn."
Joey looked at his cards, Bailey rolled her eyes at Rozlyn who replied with a dance.
"Awww," their friend Tristan said as he came over. "Isn't he cute when he's thinking?"
"Hey Tristan," Joey responded. "Yugi here's teaching me how to play duel monsters."
"What?" Tristan asked. "Drooling monsters?"
"Duel monsters you nimrod." Joey snapped as he pushed Tristan away.
"Tristan sometimes you're as clueless as Rozlyn." Alicia teased as he took a spot in the crowd by her, Gabby and Elise.
"What?" Rozlyn asked looking over with huge eyes.
"Exactly." Alicia smiled.
"That's nothing," Gabby said dismissively. "We had a tournament in our old city, televised and everything. Alicia and Bailey went head-to-head in the finals."
"That's so cool." Joey said.
"It's even cooler because I won." Alicia boasted.
"It was a fluke." Bailey snapped from over Joey's shoulder as he finally made his move.
"Thanks a lot." Joey said "A card that powerful totally wipes me out."
"Whoa you stink at this game Joey." Tristan said in amazement.
"Well we can't all be as great as me or Yugi." Bailey pointed out.
"Or me!" Alicia snapped.
"You did fine Joey I just have better cards, you see my grandpa owns a game shop and I get all my best cards from him." Yugi explained.
"That's convenient," Elise commented.
"What are we waiting here for?" Joey demanded. "Let's go!"
"Okay," Yugi said "Maybe I can get my grandpa to show you his super rare card."
"Wish we could go." Bailey said disappointedly. "But Leesh and I have a shift at the restaurant." All the girls had to work at Chives's restaurant.
"When did you start calling me Leesh?" Alicia asked.
"Like two seconds ago." Bailey answered.
"Yeah, Lee and I are going to work, see you guys later." Alicia called as the two girls walked away together.
"Lee?" Bailey asked. "How do you get Lee from my name?"
"Bailey, Bay-lee." Alicia repeated. "If you're calling me Leesh, than I'm calling you Lee."
"Fine Leesh."
"Okay Lee."
"I said a cheeseburger with no mayo, no lettuce, tomatoes under the burger, American cheese on top but only a tad, pickles on top of the burger and with extra ketchup and mustard on the burger and on the side." The customer companied as he looked at the perfectly normal burger Bailey had given him.
"Well you know it's your fault for expecting me to remember that." Bailey pointed out. "I'll try to remember this time." she muttered as she grabbed the burger and headed towards the kitchen.
"And remember the pickles…"
"Yeah, yeah on the bottom."
"No the top! The top!"
"Here's a question," Alicia began as Bailey sat down at the counter with her. "Why don't you try and listen to what the customers want?"
"That would involve work." She respond simply.
"Let me do that customer's order," Alicia said. "And you take the order of the customer that just walked in," she said as she pointed to the boy who had just entered.
Bailey walked over to the boy who had just entered.
"Party of one?" Bailey asked.
"Two," he said. "My brother should be here soon."
"Okay then," Bailey said.
"Here's your menu," she said handing him a menu. "My name is Bailey and I will be your server today. Huzzah."
"I'm Mokuba." the boy said.
Bailey waited ten minutes for the boy's brother to arrive, then fifteen, by the time she'd waited twenty she went over to the boy and sat at the empty seat at his table.
"Is he coming?" she asked.
"He said he'd be here." Mokuba insisted.
"Alright." Bailey said. "I'll check on you again in a little bit.
Another twenty minutes later Bailey went to Mokuba's table with an order of fries.
"On the house." Bailey said as she placed the fries on the table. "Since the customer didn't want them because he ordered tatter tots or something stupid like that."
Bailey sat down grumpily and started eating the fries.
"Stupid customer." she mumbled. "Who even like tatter tots? Fries are so much better. By the way we close in another ten minutes. I don't think your brother's showing up."
"He promised." Mokuba said sadly. "I guess I'll walk home. Sorry for wasting your time." he stood up.
"Wait." Bailey said, oddly moved. "You can't walk home in the dark, I'll go with you. And then, I'm giving your brother a piece of my mind for ditching you."
Bailey and Mokuba walked through the dark together, they hadn't made it very far when Bailey spotted a tall figure in the dark making its way towards them. The figure looked very shifty, in a long coat that looked dark. Bailey stopped and stood protectively in front of Mokuba.
"Don't come any closer!" Bailey snapped. The figure kept walking towards them. "I AM BAILEY WARRIOR PROTECTOR AND I..."
"That's my brother!" Mokuba said happily as the figure came into the light.
"Oh, wow..." Bailey muttered. "He's attractive..."
"Hi Seto!" Mokuba said to his brother.
"Seto as in Seto Kaiba?" Bailey asked.
"Yeah," Mokuba said.
"Oh..." she turned to Seto. "Well I just came to walk your brother home because I'm nice."
"I thought you were going to yell at him for ditching me?" Mokuba asked.
"Yeah, but then I found out he's rich so I thought he can buy me something nice and then we can forget this ever happened."
"How'd it go with the brother?" Gabby asked. As Bailey returned to their room, all the other girls were back.
"He was hot." Bailey said. "And rich. And he wouldn't buy me something nice."
"Lame." They all said.
"Did I mention it was Seto Kaiba?" Bailey asked as she collapsed on her bed.
"He came in Yugi's grandpa's shop today while we were there and tried to buy his rare card."
"Oh," Bailey said angrily. "So he'll buy stuff from old men but he won't buy something for me!"
"Oh hey," Rozlyn said the next day as they walked home from school. "Yugi's calling."
"HE HAS A PHONE?" Alicia asked. "Wait you have a phone? You have each other's numbers? We're taking your phone."
"Hello?" Rozlyn said into her phone before Alicia could take it.
"Rozlyn," Yugi said. "Kaiba kidnapped my grandpa!"
"We are on our way!" Rozlyn cried.
"What's happening?" Gabby asked.
"Follow me!" Rozlyn called out as she ran.
"But what's happening?" Elise yelled. "I don't understand!"
Meanwhile Bailey was hanging out with Joey as they walked to the restaurant.
"And then he wouldn't buy me anything!" Bailey was fuming.
"That Kaiba guy seems like a real jerk." Joey said.
"Hey Bailey!" Bailey turned and spotted Mokuba walking up behind them.
"Hey," Bailey said.
"Well I got to go." Joey said. "See what Yugi's up to, bye!"
"You working again?" Mokuba asked.
"Not today." Bailey said. "We should go to an amusement park!"
"Why?"
"For Amusement."
"So Kaiba kidnapped your grandpa then took his Blue Eyes, then ripped it in half?" Elise asked.
"Yes!" Yugi cried.
"He crazy." Elise said simply.
"Tristan," Yugi said. "Can you take grandpa to the hospital? I need to teach Kaiba a lesson."
"On it!" Tristan cried.
"Oh I have an idea!" Rozlyn said excitedly. "I'll draw a picture on our hands to commemorate our friendship in this hard time."
She pulled a marker and lifted it to write on their hands.
"It has to be perfect." she said.
"Is that why you're taking so long?" Alicia complained.
"Give me that marker," Elise said as she snatched it from Roz and drew squiggles on their hands. "It's the squiggle of friendship!"
"Gee," Joey said. "Thanks Elise."
"It's time to duel." Yugi said.
"Is it just me?" Rozlyn asked as they watched the duel. "Or is Yugi taller?"
"It's just you." Bailey said as she walked up with ice cream.
"Where did you get ice cream?" Alicia demanded. "Where have you been? Why didn't you get me ice cream dammit!?"
"Amusement park with Mokuba."
"That was an intense duel." Joey said.
"I swear Yugi is taller." Roz said.
"Nope." Bailey said.
"He's taller than you now!" Roz cried out.
"I'm short." Bailey pointed out. "Besides compared to Kaiba he's short. Kaiba is so tall." she muttered dreamily.
"He just had a mental break down." Gabby pointed out.
"But he was so hot while he did it," Bailey said. "And that's all that matters."
