(One day I was watching some television shows, bored because it was such a dull day. After watching a couple of shows, out of nowhere I got an idea for another fanfiction. So I just had to write it down and start up another one! I won't say details on what could happen such as events or pairings since I talked with a few friends on what's going to happen. Ergo, there may be some things I didn't want to put but I needed to. Well, here's my next fanfiction. Hope you guys as the readers like it, if there are any readers present. Oh, well. Enjoy! And I wanted to use dub names since I got tired of my program showing SO many spell errors just because they haven't heard those names. Plus, I was too lazy to write the long names. n.n;;)

And for the records, I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! If I did, there would be lots of changes made to my satisfaction!

Just Like Old Times
I - Reuniting Conflicts

Quite a few number of years have passed by since the group has all met: Yugi Moto, Téa Gardner, Joey Wheeler, Tristan Taylor. All four of them together have had their fair share of adventures. All of them have had their fair share of laughs. They went through such obstacles and problems that most people would hide at the thought of such thing. Yes, maybe they did fight a lot and did some stuff behind other's backs. But after all, back then they were young and reckless. Now look at them today, grown up and acting adult. Well, perhaps the last part isn't so true. Even in public, when you put them together they still seem to look like as if they were back in high school. They will never forget about those times. In fact, so they could remember, they took that one picture of all of them smiling and holding peace signs, made copies of them, and imprinted them on four blank duel monster cards. And to this day, they always keep that one card close by to them. Now today was of a different occasion. They were together to celebrate an occasion they obviously expected to happen: Joey getting married.

"Well, what do you think about this place sir?"

"I dunno, isn't all this pricey?"

"Relax, I told you I can cover it."

The manager of the hotel walks over to the front of the glass doors, taking a few steps up a small set of stairs to get there. Stopping before the set of stairs were two young men well-dressed: Joey Wheeler and Duke Devlin.

For a moment Joey turns his head a few times, looking around the fancy place. "This sure does look like a good place to host this event."

Just at that time Duke places one hand on Joey's shoulder to get his attention. "Come on, you know this place is perfect. Just say the word and I'll make sure this will be one wedding you will never forget."

Again Joey takes one more look around the place, then nods and turns his head for a moment to his friend. "Heh, sure then. I'm sure glad that you're helping to cover this. I don't think I would be able to bring this sort of thing to Mai, and you know how much she likes the good stuff." He then looks up to the manager and nods his head once again. "Alright, we'll take this place then."

"That sounds good, Mr. Wheeler. Just come by here in a few hours and we'll settle the paperwork. Pleasure doing business with you."

As the two walk up and leaving, Duke elbows Joey lightly in his stomach. "She likes the good stuff... So how many times have you pleased the lady?"

Quickly Joey's eyes narrow in rage and faces Duke. "For your information, a gentleman dusn't get laid and tell!"

"Not one time, huh?"

Joey lowers his head down in shame. "Nope, not at all."

Duke chuckles lightly. "Don't worry about it, after this thing you'll probably get some action in the bed."

As a limousine stops at the curb of the street, Duke opens the door and steps in. After Joey walks over to the door, looking at the hotel for a moment. "For some reason, I have a feeling that this will be something I will never forget." After he steps into the limo and closes the door. "Watch it, or I'm not gonna tell you what happens."

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The hotel was transformed in a few hours. Who knew by evening the whole place would be decorated so well, having so many people here, and being well lit? Right by the door were Joey and Duke, looking at the guests coming in and greeting them.

After a couple are greeted by them, Joey sighs and takes short break, drinking some water. "Man, who knew what a turnout tis would be. In fact, a lot of dese people I don't even know."

Laughing a little nervously, Duke looks left and right. "Umm, well they're friends of mine I invited to make this more fun."

"Ohh, alright then. Hey, here comes Tristan!" He looks through the glass doors, waving to his friend.

Making his way inside, Tristan walks in having dark green slacks and a white shirt. He was busy at the moment with him talking away in a cellular phone. "Why didn't you buy the damn stock!? I told you to buy the stupid stock, you son of a b--"

Joey fwaps Tristan in the back of the head quickly. "There are children present. Show some respect, ya jerk!"

Tristan rubs the back of his head, then covers his cell phone with is hand. "I'm sorry, but I was busy trying to show this guy who's boss."

Duke blinks at Tristan. "You're always yammering away on the phone, aren't you? Why don't you take a break from it and just have fun?" He gives a small smirk, crossing his arms.

Tristan sighs for a moment, looking to Duke as Joey walks away from them for a moment. "Well, it's not that easy. I can't just not work for a week just for this occasion. After all, there's nothing that can stop me from worki--"

"Serenity!" As he hears Joey say that name, Tristan turns to see Serenity in the arms of Joey, being greeted from her brother.

"She's here? It's been so long..." He simply stares at her, seeing her in a sparkling light blue dress, having a long slit so as she walks he catches a glimpse of her left leg. For a moment he starts to drool, then stops as he watches Devlin about to greet her. "Oh, no. I'm not gonna let you get the best of me this time like in Battle City!" Quickly he hangs up his call on his cell phone, starting to make a run for it.

"Hey, Ser-- Hey!" Quickly Duke gets tackled by Tristan, falling into a chair. "What's the big idea?" He looks at Tristan already greeting Serenity, giving what appeared to the common man a friendly innocent kiss on her cheek. But Duke knew better and saw how Tristan lost his attention from the call. Just then a small smirk appears on his face as he was talking to himself for that moment. "Oh, that's your little game? I thought there was nothing that could interfere with your work."

"It's sure been a while since we've seen each other hasn't it..." As Tristan talks he takes Serenity's hands and holds them together in his.

Serenity blushes a little, laughing a little nervous as she didn't notice her brother from a distance glaring at Tristan so hard he could burn a hole through a wall. "Uhh, yes it has..."

Joey quickly bumps Tristan's hands out of hers to break the moment. "Hey, just walk over there and help yourself with some snacks over there, sis."

She gives a sigh of relief, wanting to thank her brother for this. "Sure, brother."

As she walks away Duke stands up and walks over to Tristan. "Well... I see you're wide awake. Stay that way so when you see me and Serenity get married. In fact, I'll make you the best man."

Tristan's eyes widen, then looking at Duke from the corner of his eye. "Watch it, dice for brains!"

"Hey, I never thought you would make it, thanks for coming!" Tristan and Duke look again to Joey greeting another guest.

(What more can I say. Here's one of the first conflicts, but there will be more things coming up. There's still plenty ahead before Joey reaches the altar. Review!)
