Chapter 1: Rose

"Ha! I win again, Tristan! That's 5 to 0!" Joey Wheeler's Red-Eyes Black Dragon just wiped out Tristan Taylor's Life Points with a direct hit.

"So you won another duel. Big deal. It's just luck." Tristan said.

"You're just jealous."

"Well I don't know about you , but I'm tired of dueling for now. Let's go see what Rose is up to. You know, I never thought you two would make such a great couple. I can't believe it's already been more that a year since you two have been going out."

"Well, it's all thanks to Serenity for introducing us. You should've seen her when I told her that me & Rose were going on our first date. She was so excited that her brother was going out with her best friend."

They walked over to where Rose was. She was sitting with Yugi, Bakura, Mai, Duke, Serenity, & Tea. They were talking about their favorite Duel Monster Cards ever since Joey & Tristan started dueling.

"My favorite is The Magician of Faith." Tea said first.

"Mine is the magic card, Change of Heart." Bakura said second.

"Harpy Lady is my favorite." said Mai.

"And mine is the Dark Magician." Yugi said.

"Wow. Those are really cool cards. My favorite is Red Archery Girl. I have a thing for mermaids & She's the first mermaid monster card I've ever got."

"Hey guys." Tristan & Joey came to join the group. "What's goin' on?"

"We were just talking about Duel Monsters." Bakura answered.

"Oh. Well, I think I've had enough of Duel Monsters for one day." Joey said, sitting down next to Rose. He put his arm around her shoulders & gave her a little kiss. Then, he noticed she was holding something in her lap.

"Hey, what's this?" he asked her.

"Oh. This is my sketchbook. The guys wanted to see some of my artwork so I let them take a look at it. You wanna see?"

"Yeah."

She opened it up to show Joey. He was pretty amazed at how talented she was.

"Wow! These are really good."

"Thanks, Joey."

"How long have you been drawing?" Bakura asked her.

"For as long as I can remember. I love drawing. It lets me be creative in my own way."

They talked for hours until someone realized how late it was.

"Guys, It's already almost midnight! We've gotta get some sleep." Yugi said.

"Yeah. Now that you mention it, I am kinda tired." Tristan said with a yawn.

Tea agreed. So did Bakura, Mai, Serenity, & Duke. They all went to their own rooms on Seto Kaiba's blimp, leaving Joey & Rose alone in the TV Room. It was silent for a moment until Rose broke the silence.

"I can't wait to see you duel in Kaiba's tournament tomorrow. Who are supposed to be dueling against?"

"Duke."

"Well, I know you'll win against him. Your almost as good as Yugi."

"Yeah..........Wait! What's that supposed to mean?"

Rose laughed. "I'm just kidding, Joey. You know I'll support you no matter who you're dueling against."

"Thanks Rose. That means alot to me." Joey gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I love you, Rose."

"I love you, too, Joey."

They cuddled for a little while until Kaiba came & interrupted them.

"Can't you two get a room?"

His remark made Joey really mad.

"Zip it, Kaiba, if you wanna keep all your teeth!" he said, making a fist with his hand.

"Calm down, Joey. He's just trying to get a rise outta you." Rose said, trying to restrain him.

Joey lowered his fist.

"You're right." he said to her. Then he turned to Kaiba. "What are you doing over here anyway? Don't you have some money to count or something?"

"I just came to let you guys know that we should be arriving at Antarctica by noon tomorrow. So, I suggest everyone get some sleep until then."

Kaiba the went to his room, which he shared with his younger brother, Mokuba.

"Joey, he's actually right for once. We should get to bed, If I don't get enough sleep tonight, I'm gonna be real bitchy all day tomorrow."

"In that case we should go now." Joey teasingly said.

They both laughed, kissed eachother good night, & went to their rooms.

By about 12:30 am, everyone was asleep. All of them dreaming good dreams & looking forward to the big tournament tomorrow. But none of them having any idea of the danger that they will soon face....
