"Duke hurry up! Yugi and the others are waiting outside!" I, Amy-Lin, Who is Duke's best friend yelled. Duke was on the phone with a girl he had just met yesterday.
"Alright Amy." Duke ran out. "What your not coming? Let's go. You will like them. Just bring your dueling deck." I nodded and ran after Duke. I always carried my deck with me where ever I went. I followed Duke not speaking to anyone.
"Duke where are we going?" I asked him quietly. I was shy and didn't have any other friends besides Duke.
"Will you just join the group already? Hey everybody I want you to meet the tag along. Her name is Amy-Lin." He said as he pushed me in front of him. I was getting mad. "She is a bita...well she really doesn't want to be here. Besides that she is a really great dueler. She taught me just about everything I know about duel monsters." Duke said cheerfully.
"Let go of me!" I yelled. Duke stepped back. I nodded my head. "Hi everybody" I froze when I looked over at the one they called Joey Wheeler. "So where are we going anyway?" I asked while looking at Yugi (Yami had taken over already).
"Duelist Kingdom. In honor of Pegus coming out of retirement." Joey answered. He was looking at me. "You'd think he'd call is something different." Joey smiled.
"Ya well he must like that name. Is it like a dueling competition?" I asked stupidly. "I mean cuz I stink at duel monsters." I quickly added.
"What has gotten into you?" Duke asked, then bonked me on the head. I looked at him with my puppy eyes. Duke started to laugh. "My, my, my now what shall I do?" Duke mocked.
"Ya that's what duelist kingdom is, a dueling competition with duel monsters. You need a duel disk though" Yami answered.
"Yugi... heh I don't get how Yugi could let you take over like this. He really is a wuss. Always has been, always will be. He has you take over when he wants to run away how pathetic." I shook my head and walked behind Duke. Yami just glared at me.
"Hey Yugi I'll buy a disk from your house first." Duke gulped. 'Joey... great now I'm a lovesick puppy just great.' I thought bitterly. Sighing I looked over at Yami. He was really mad at me. Duke was shifting uncomfortably. I looked to see who else was in the group. I saw Tea, Tristan, Mia, and Serenity. There was an uncomfortable pause. Nobody was saying anything. They all were just looking around them.
"So shall we get going?" I asked softly. I soon realized that not even Duke heard me and I was standing behind him. I cleared my throat and tried one more time. "So shall we get going?" I asked. They all looked at me. Duke started to laugh when he saw how nervous I was getting.
"Ya let's. But we all have a few different things we need to do before we can leave, right? So let's spilt up so we can hurry up and leave, without missing the boat." Duke replied. These were the groups: I got stuck with Yami, Joey and his sister (Serenity) went together, Mia and Tea ran off to the stores together, and Duke and Tristan went off to who knows were together. Yami and I just started to walk to Yugi's home. We weren't saying anything, yet even looking at each other.
"Sorry. I shouldn't have said that stuff about Yugi like I did." I said breaking that uneasy silence. Still I couldn't bring myself to look at Yami. Yami started to laugh. I cocked my head and looked over at him.
"Yugi forgives you." Yami responded. I was getting mad at him. He wasn't giving any explanation to why he started to laugh.
"Why did you start laughing? You stupid Pharaoh!" I barked back at him. He was looking up at the sky.
"You seem to be loosing up to me, that's all. And you never know, if you can stop being so shy and nervous around me we might become friends." He paused as if he were thinking of something. "Oh and you also might become friends with Yugi as well. He knows what you say to me as I know what you say to him if he is the one who has control of his body." He said slowly as if he were hesitating to tell me that. We finally got to the game store.
"Hey gramps I'm home!" Yugi yelled (Yami now let Yugi have control). 'He really does look like a little kid and he's cute in a puppy dog kind of way.' I thought happily. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Yugi asked looking at me.
"You are just so small and young looking, that's all Yugi." I responded half-heartily. I didn't know why I felt so sad. I just felt as if someone was watching me, but I couldn't see them no matter where I looked. Shaking my head I found Yugi talking with his grandpa.
"Who's the girl over there Yug?" I just managed to hear Mr. Muto whisper. I was trying not to blush; I was trying to act as if I didn't hear him.
"Grandpa!" I head Yugi whisper angrily back at his grandpa, while looking over at me to see if I could hear them. I was looking in a case, which had some rare cards in it. With my hand over my smiling mouth I tried desperately not to laugh. "Gramp's just let me handle my dating life okay." Yugi demanded. Yugi was pretty mad now.
"Um Mr. Muto I was wondering if you had a dueling disk that I could you know buy." I said turning back into my old shy self. Mr. Muto threw one glance at Yugi then looked back over to me.
"Why don't you come closer? Yugi do you need anything?" He responded. Yugi was staring at his grandpa his mouth wide open.
"I gotta go get something from my room." He responded angrily and then stomped off to his room. 'Poor Yugi. I don't want to interfere with his love life I mean I couldn't date him cuz I have no interest in him, but I would gladly help him get a girlfriend.' I thought trying I think to convince myself what I thought.
"Mr. Muto please be considerate to Yugi. You have to know that he doesn't get anyone to go out with, I mean cuz he looks like a little kid." I whispered anxiously to Mr. Muto. He started to laugh. I looked up towards the stairs and saw Yugi's shadow. 'So he's trying to eavesdrop? I knew he would.' I thought.
"Ya I know that already. Anyways here's the duel disk. You can have it for free since you're a friend of some sort to Yugi." Mr. Muto handed me the dueling disk without saying anything more. Sighing I walked out if the shop. A few moments later Yugi was running to me. He caught up to me, but didn't say anything. I just figured that he needed to catch up on his breath. We walked to the dock where the boat would soon leave taking us to Duelist Kingdom.
"Yugi listen I know why your grandfather let me take this duel disk. And I don't really care. I think that you and either Tea or Serenity will make a cute couple." I giggled. I was always good at matchmaking. Looking at Yugi I realized he was shy and embarrassed about this. I could tell because he was bright red and he was looking at the ground. Poor Yugi. I really couldn't blame him though. He probably never had a girlfriend in his life yet even a date.
"Why are you doing this? I mean trying to get me a date and everything?" Yugi asked softly. 'Yugi what is with you? Why are you trying so hard to not get a girlfriend yet a date?' I thought sadly. I don't know why but I was starting to care for Yugi.
"You idiot. Now let's go. Isn't it time for the boat to take its passengers aboard?" I giggled. I grabbed Yugi's arm and pulled him along behind me. We got to the pier but didn't see any of the others. "Where could they be? Let's go on board just in case they decided to board before us." I smiled and pulled Yugi along with me again. On board we were stunned. This boat really had been carefully worked on. It was fabulous; it was so fabulous that even celebrities would want to buy it. But where were Joey and the others?
