It was all over, the Millennium Items were gone, the Shadow Games had ended, and they would never see Atem again. Yugi thought of how Tea put it, a new beginning. But not just for him, but for Bakura, Pegasus, and anyone that has ever crossed the path of one of the Items. Even though it was better for everyone, Yugi still had a deep empty feeling inside of him. He hasn't played a game of Duel Monsters since that day. It felt like an eternity, but it had only been a week.
As he lay in his bed, thinking about all of this, he heard someone enter the shop. Yugi listened to who came in and surprisingly he heard a very familiar voice. "C'MON GRAMPS! Who else do ya' know that would buy this card!" It was Joey! He hadn't talked to anyone besides Grandpa for a week.
Excited, Yugi jumped up from bed and ran to the stairs, still in his pajamas. He ran half way down, but then decided to stop and listen to this argument.
"I don't know Joseph, I think that card is worth more than that."
"Yeah right! Like anyone else would come here looking for a new 'Landstar' monster!"
"Well it just came out! It's worth more than the rest." Grandpa exclaimed.
Yugi couldn't stop himself anymore, he ran down the rest of the stairs and into the shop. The first thing he saw was Joey, pointing and yelling at a card in the glass case. He also saw Grandpa behind the counter, looking like he was enjoying himself, a lot. But from upstairs he had no idea that Tea, Tristen, and Bakura were all there too.
"Yugi!" Tea said in shock. "It's you! We all came to visit, until Joey saw his little card…"
"Hey. Watch it!" Joey warned her. "Yug, I…"
"I'm so happy you're here!" Tristen said, cutting Joey off.
"Hey! This is…" Joey tried to continue again, when cut off once again.
"This is great!" Bakura said.
"Nyehhhhhhhh, would ya' stop that!" Joey yelled. "Well anyway Yug, ummm, hi."
Yugi was so happy all that he could do was yell out in joy. Now he realized how stupid he was for being so unsocial for so long. He looked around at his friends' smiles, he couldn't be happier than this. When all of a sudden, Tea's phone rang.
"Oh, umm sorry. Hold on." Tea said.
"Wow Tea, way to ruin the moment." Joey mumbled
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY"
"Umm… uhh nothin', hehe.. don't know what you're talkin' about. Nope haven't said anything all day…" Joey quickly blurted. "It was Tristen
"Gee thanks!" Tristen yelled back.
Tea walked outside and answered her phone. She came back in and told them what it was about.
"That was Serenity! Her and Duke are in town and they want to meet us up there." Tea reported.
"Awesome" Yugi said.
"WHAT"S HE DOING WITH SERENITY!" Tristan yelled.
"WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH!" Joey yelled back. "AND WHY IS HE WITH MY SISTER!!!"
"CAN'T YOU TWO JUST LEAVE HER ALOME" Tea yelled at both of them.
Yugi and Bakura awkwardly smiled at each other and laughed while listening to the screaming match in front of them.
"Hey guys, I think we should get going." Bakura shyly said.
"Huh?" Joey said confused.
"You're sister…."
"Oh yeah lets go." Joey said walking out the door. "Seeya Gramps!"
"Goodbye everyone." Grandpa smiled and waved.
Then Yugi came running back through the door, his face a deep red. "I Forgot To Get Dressed!"
Yugi came back downstairs with his usual blue school jacket and black tank top. The only thing missing was the large pyramid hanging around his neck. Yugi only wished he had something to remember the Pharaoh.
Yugi walked out of the game shop where everyone was waiting for them.
"Now that you done keepin' us waitin, we can go! Onward!" Joey said while walking into the street, with his eyes closed. "AGHHH!"
A car came speeding down the street, and almost hit Joey. It stopped right before hitting him. "WHO DO YA THINK YOU ARE!?" Joey yelled, H stopped when he realized he was yelling at a very familiar limousine. They all knew who was inside. Then the door opened and a familiar figure stepped out.
"Just who I was looking for…"
