"Hey, Yug!" Joey Wheeler called as he saw Yugi Mutou walking with me down the hall. "Who's your friend?"

"Guys, this is Emilee," Yugi said, walking with me up to Joey, Teá Gardener, and Triston Taylor. "She's my cousin. She's staying with me while her parents are away. Em, this is Teá, Triston, and J—"

"Joey Wheeler, at your service," Joey interrupted, pushing past Yugi. "How old are you anyway? 'Cause you look kinda like Yugi."

"I'm 16," I replied, playing with a strand of my hair.

"At least you're taller than Yugi," Tristan commented.

"Tristan!" Teá hissed, elbowing Triston's arm.

"What? It's true," Triston insisted, rubbing his arm.

"So, you got someone to show you around?" Joey asked as Teá and Triston continued arguing.

"Well, I had hoped Yugi would, but I think he has to go home, so no," I replied. "Why? Do you want to?"

"Yeah! Come on!" Joey exclaimed, grabbing my arm and running off.

"Careful, Joey!" Yugi called after us. "She has somewhere to be after school!"

"Where does she need to be?" Teá asked when she and Triston had finally stopped arguing.

"She's a duelist," Yugi replied. "I didn't tell you? She's wanted to beat Kaiba for awhile now. Thinks he's too arrogant and cocky. So, I got her a duel with him."

"I hope she's ready," Triston said, looking in the direction Joey and I headed. "Yugi, you're the only one who's ever beat him."

"Me, too," Yugi agreed.

"Joey, slow down!" I exclaimed as we almost ran into yet another student. "Where are we going?" Suddenly, a card flew out of my pocket and fluttered to the ground. "My card!" I exclaimed, pulling out of Joey's grip. Reaching down, I grabbed my card and held it tightly as I turned back to Joey.

"Whatcha got there?" Joey asked, holding out his hand for my card.

"One of my most powerful and my favorite cards," I replied, handing it to him. "Red Eyes Black Dragon."

"So, you're a duelist?" Joey asked as I took my card back and put it in my case.

"Uh-huh," I replied, smiling. "Now, you still wanna show me around?"

"You bet!" Joey exclaimed, grabbing my arm and running again. "Come on!"

"He's like a little puppy," I thought. "Energetic all the time."

"Where were you guys?" Yugi asked as Joey and I walked into his grandpa's gameshop.

"Exploring the city," I replied, smiling. "I just came back to see if you wanted to come watch me duel.

"I would, but I have to watch over the shop while Grandpa is asleep," Yugi replied. "Joey, could you take her? I just want to make sure she gets to Kaiba's safe."

"Sure thing, Yug," Joey answered, then grabbed Yugi's arm and started walking into the back. "I need to talk to ya real quick."

"What is it, Joey?" Yugi asked.

"Listen, Yug," Joey started. "I think I really like Emilee, but I don't know if I should ask her out."

"Go for it," Yugi encouraged. "She hasn't been with anyone since Brandon, so go and try."

"Thanks, Yug!" Joey called over his shoulder as he ran back out front, grabbing my hand before running out the door. "Come on, Em!"

"I hope they'll be okay," Yugi thought, fiddling with his puzzle.

"What's the big hurry, Joey?" I asked as we got closer to Kaiba's mansion.

Joey didn't answer, just smiled to himself, tightened his grip on me and ran faster.

"Miss Hitachiin," Kaiba's butler said as he opened the front door for us. "Master Kaiba sends his apologies, but he will be gone today for business. However, he has prepared a room for you for tonight. If you go upstairs, it is the 3rd door on your left, right next to Master Kaiba's.

"Great!" I replied happily, walking toward the stairs, Joey following. "Did he leave some clothes?"

"In the closet, miss," the butler called up to me as I opened the door to my temporary room.

"Nice," I said as I walked into the room. It was pretty simple: two beds, a table, a couple chairs, and a dresser. "For an arrogant brat, Kaiba treats his guests well."

"Hey, Em?" Joey asked as I opened the closet.

"Yeah?" I asked back, changing into a pair of jeans that were hanging up.

"Do ya wanna go on a date with me tomorrow?" Joey asked, half-preparing for rejection. "Ya know, after your duel with Kaiba."

"Sure, sounds like fun," I replied, slipping my belts and deck back on.

"Yes!" Joey exclaimed, punching the air. "I got a date!"

"But right now, you wanna go on a walk?" I asked. "There's gotta be something more fun to do than trash this place."

"Sure," Joey said, walking toward the door while I opened the window. "

"Come on," I said, sticking one leg out the window.

"Where are you goin'?" Joey asked as I climbed completely out of the window.

"If I go out the front, someone'll ask me where I'm going," I replied, getting a good grip on the roof. "Besides, there's a tree. We can use that to get back up and down if needed. Come on, don't be a wimp."

"Who are you callin' a wimp?!" Joey demanded, climbing out after me.

Looking over the edge, I estimated that it was a 15-foot drop at least. "Let's go," I said, jumping off the edge. Landing on my feet, I knelt down to a crouch as I looked back up at Joey. "Come on, before anyone realizes we're gone."

Nodding slightly, Joey stepped off the edge and landed on his feet…but then he tripped.

"Way to go," I laughed as he got to his feet again and brushed the dirt and leaves off. "Let's go," I said, walking around Kaiba's house and down the street.

"Hey, wait up!" Joey called after me, running to catch up.
