Mai Valentine

'I've moved on, I can't let my past take over me, I promise you Joey, I'm not letting anything bring me down!' Mai thought as she drove across the sunset on her Motorcycle while her hair blew with the wind. She couldn't face the fact that she was the one who caused pain to Joey, blinded by the Orichalcos she never noticed that all he wanted to do was to save her. She immediately shook her head, she needed to think positive. Mai reached for a card from her deck with one hand flipping the Deck Container grabbing the Harpie Lady card. She held to the card tightly against her chest and drove off to the distance.

"I'll be back soon..." She smiles.

Yugi Moto

"Grandpa! I'm going now." Yugi says before quickly leaving the Game Shop.

"Take care!" Grandpa replies as he sweeps the floor of the Game Shop back and forth.

'It's been almost 4 weeks since the Pharaoh left, a little lonely sometimes. But I have to get used to it, like he said, we will always be together no matter what. Our bonds of friendship will never grow apart. Sometimes It's hard to even sleep feeling a bit of emptyness inside me. A gap that needs to be filled... ' Yugi thinks walking the sidewalks by a fence surrounded by flourishing flowers.

"Hey Yug'" A voice shouts behind him as the voice begins to grow closer. It was Joey."I thought we were supposed to meet up in front of the Shop. But gramps said you already left." Joey turns back and waves his hand back and forth calling the others.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I kind of woke up on the wrong side of the bed." Yugi scratched his head nervously as he tried to tighten up his loose book bag.

"Come on! We know you! What's up?" Joey wrapped one arm around Yugi's neck walking alongside him with a soft smirk look on his face. Joey's expression seemed slightly surprised then tones down now understanding what is wrong with Yugi."Is it because of the Pharaoh?" Joey says quietly while Tristan and Tea finally caught up.

"Yeah... I keep having these dreams lately. It involves him and what we went through. Giving these flashes in my head of all the challenges we took on then when he said goodbye entering that gate..." Yugi says emotionally looking down to the ground clenching his fists slowly holding back the tears that are struggling to let out.

Tea overheard what Yugi said. She had feelings for the Pharaoh, It seemed like it impacted her the same way it did to Yugi. She placed a hand on Yugi's shoulder. "Yugi... Saying goodbye to him was hard, but remember, he will always be in our hearts. No matter what type of situation we are put in, we can handle it knowing he will always be by us." Tea explains with a weakened smile. She knew her words wouldn't effect Yugi so well since she's been pretty much saying the same thing to him every time.

"Thanks Tea. By the way, where's Duke? Wasn't he suppose to drive us to school?" Yugi narrows his head around looking for him. Suddenly a smacking sound was heard behind Yugi.

"You idiot! I told you we should have just sent Joey to look for Yugi and for us to just wait for him back at the shop. Jeez! I need more female friends." Tea rolls her eyes and face palms while Tristan rubs the back of his head.

"Ow! My bad." Tristan glares at Tea then turns to face Tea. "Should we go back?" Tristan asks as they stopped walking then they huddled together.

"We could. But I heard he got a new car. You know how Duke is with his cars." Tea says holding her bag with one hand.

"Yo! Over here!" Duke's voice is heard while driving a car... The same car he had but in red.

Everyone was silent just staring at his car with disappointment.

"What? What's wrong? Do I have something on my face?" Duke looks at the mirror on his car seeing nothing on his face whatsoever. He turns to them again with a confused expression.

"It's the same damn car! You kept talking about it all the time just for this!" Joey raises his fist because he was annoyed that Duke kept mentioning that he's getting a new car.

"Woah! Chill!" Duke brushes his hair back seductively. "Come on now! At least it's not all scratched up like the one before." Duke explains with a soft smirk. "Now get on, I don't wanna be late." Duke says opening the door from his seat. Joey heads towards the Passenger seat but was blocked by Duke.

"Hey! What's the deal?" Joey seemed confused yet a bit aggravated by his actions.

"Ladies in the front." Duke says smirking at Joey looking up at him. Joey begins to mumble slightly angered and heads to the back as he sits by Tristan and Yugi as his arms were crossed.

"At least someone here is at least decently polite. Humph!" Tea sits in the passenger seat. Duke then begins to drive off.

Seto Kaiba

"Big Bro!" Mokuba says in a hurry as he enters Kaiba's office a little concerned.

"What is it Mokuba?" Kaiba stops typing on his laptop crossed leg with a black Tux on since he was going to attend some kind of meeting concerning his company soon.

"You're not going to like this. But Pegasus is here." Mokuba turns his head to the side not wanting to look at his reaction. He kept his arms behind his back nervously fidgeting.

"What? What does he want now? Tell him that I am busy Mokuba." Kaiba says angered then goes back to his work. He was not in the mood for Pegasus, or ever. He was planning to add new features to Kaiba Land, ever since the Pharaoh left he was no longer concerned about dueling since his rival was most of the time the Pharaoh.

"He says it's urgent. We tried asking him to leave but it seems pretty important bro. So-" Mokuba was interrupted by Kaiba.

"Mokuba! I am busy! I have a meeting soon I have no tolerance for that Children's cartoon loving freak." Kaiba responds but then he heard knocking on the door.

Roland's voice was heard, his tone was low and nervous, not wanting to bother Kaiba. Mokuba turns back to Kaiba and nods because he knew it was for Pegasus.

"Come in." Kaiba braces himself as the door slowly opens revealing a red outfit and white/silver hair a few inches under his shoulders and his left eye still covered from Yami Bakura's previous actions.

"Oh, Kaiba-Boy why haven't you responded to my calls? We need to start talking more often, It IS quite lonely back in my company." Pegasus says dramatically making hand gestures while Roland behind him with a nervous face for letting Pegasus in.

"What do you want? Do you not see I have no time for your games!" Kaiba stands up and slams his hands on the table not wanting to get involved with him whatsoever. Both Mokuba and Roland shook from Kaiba's reaction. Mokuba then walks out with Roland leaving them alone knowing that Kaiba would kick out Mokuba eventually.

"You should calm down. That's not the proper way to welcome your guests. But back to the point Kaiba-boy, issues need to be addressed." Pegasus's expression changed to a more serious look. "Someone hacked into my company... And it has Kaiba Corp all over it. I'm planning on sueing you until you find out who did this. I'm not too aggravated about it since I know you wouldn't do such things. But it is best to make sure." Pegasus stated. His tone grew louder so Kaiba would glue the words inside his head.

"What are you talking about? If my company did that It would have been detected!" Kaiba slammed his fist on the table making it shake. "Someone's after my company once again! Not surprising, listen Pegasus. Call it off." Kaiba tells him with a calmer expression not trying to get himself sued by his actions.

"I cannot Kaiba, sadly it was recommended, now if you excuse me." Pegasus turns around and starts walking to the door as Mokuba and Roland stood outside. "Don't take it personal Kaiba. Business is Business, and I must protect my company." Pegasus walks out leaving Kaiba furiously speechless.
