Okay, I know that I am currently in the middle of writing another story, and this story might not be to your tastes, but I felt that I should be writing something as I have no ideas as to what I should write for 'how it came to be this way'. I hope that if you have never watched Yu-Gi-Oh before then maybe this fanfic will encourage to try it. I love losts of cartoons but I just don't have enough time to write down all of my ideas.
It's set after duelest kingdom and battle city but before most of the fourth season.
disclaimer, I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of the characters, but the words are all mine. ;)

Joey's point of view.

I have never met anyone as strong as my best friend. He may not look like much, seeing as he is so short and innocent looking, but trust me, you won't ever meet someone stronger.

Yugi changed me from a bully to a loyal and trustworthy person, just by sticking up for me and my pal Tristan when we were getting picked on by someone a lot bigger than us.
And the most shocking thing is, is that we had been picking on him for a long time. We had made his life difficult for a long time, by picking on him and playing keep-away with most of his stuff. We had called him names and tripped him over in while he was walking down the hallway, and yet still he stuck up for us.

He had the choice to walk away, to pretend that he had seen nothing, but he stayed, even though he ended up getting hurt for it. He said "No! I wont let you hurt them! They're my friends!".
And let me tell you this, it took a lot of guts to stand up to that bully, for most of the kids in the school feared him, even the teachers did.

Ever since then he's stuck up for me, helped me out of tight spots, and has never lost faith in me. Without him my sister would be blind, without him I wouldn't be the duelest I am today. He's got me out of so many tight spots that I've lost count.

Even though Yugi's been through so many horrible things, even though so many people have challenged him to take something that can never belong to them, even though he's lost his soul a few times, he NEVER stops smiling.

He always finds some way to make it through, some way to look out for the people he loves most, though it may cost him his soul or risk his life.

Without Yugi our world would fall apart. His grandpa, who never acts his age and still thinks of himself as a teenager, would loose his spirit. Tristan, who jokes around and keeps the team spirit, would loose the will to have fun. Tea, who inspires us all to do our best and always do the right thing, would loose the spark in her eyes and close in on her self.

And me? I would loose the will to fight on. Through ever challenge I have ever faced, Yugi has been there cheering me on and giving me the confidence that I need to keep going.

Even the spirit of the puzzle he wears around his neck would fall apart. They are two halves of a whole, working as a team to overcome any challenge that it thrown at them. Yugi keeps him stable, helps him make choices that no one should have to make on their own. He is closest to Yugi, sharing a mind and body, and without Yugi the shadows would take over his spirit.

I said before that Yugi was innocent looking, which he is with his huge amethyst eyes and soft features. Though sometimes you will see a look in his eyes, a look that says he's aged before his years, that he understands more that he'll let on. But yet he still has a child like spark in his eyes, and you can't help but think, what really goes on in his head?

No Yugi isn't the tallest or the strongest in appearance, but in heart, soul, mind and most importantly spirit, you couldn't find anyone stronger.

So as I am walking down the street with my friends by my side, Tea and Tristan bickering while Yugi tries to keep the peace, I hope that I never have to go through a time without my best buddy by my side.

Okay, I hope you like it. It may seem a bit deep for Joey, but I've always thought that Joey has a better understanding of Yugi and values their friendship than everyone may think. Their like brothers, so I think that Joey would know how important Yugi is to him and the rest of the gang.
Please review! It makes me so happy when my readers do! XD
