Author's Note- It has been awhile since I have submitted a story and I feel that now school is out, along with the new movie, I should start again. This is in correlation with the story I wrote awhile ago called, "Goodbye". I hope you all review, view and enjoy this story.
Tristan,
Of course I remember you and I could never forget you (especially with your hairstyle)
I understand that you did not have the same opportunity as the others to get to know me. I meant no harm when I stayed away, I just knew that shadow magic and Duel Monsters in general scared you more than it did the others.
I didn't want to be scared of me too.
I never had the chance to really talk to you in person, but I am very grateful for our friendship and I understand your feelings towards me. I know that you don't like to show your emotions to anyone because you think it makes you less than a man. So when I heard you crying as I was leaving for the afterlife, I felt the pain that you were feeling; leaving me with no words to say to you.
But you reminded me of a powerful lesson, the power of loyalty. During every duel that either myself or Joey was involved in, you were always there. Even after your body was taken by the Big 5, your mind possessed by Bakura and after I betrayed Yugi.
You still stood by us when you did not have to and I will never be able to thank or repay you for that. But just so you know, I never thought of you as just Joey's sidekick or a "cheerleader on the sidelines" as Kaiba often said. Tristan, you are just as strong as he is and smarter than you yourself realize. I consider you to be one of my truest friends and I will be watching over you in the afterlife.
But I will always be there with you in spirit.
Farewell my friend…
