QE: I wrote this because I was trying to follow a simple knitting plan for a scarf and I just can't get it right.

E.S.P: She can knit and pearl but add anything else she turns to a blubbering wreck.

QE: I feel sorry for my mum.

Evestar: Also this is your offical first 5d's story.

QE: Oh yeah. So it is.

Evestar: She owns nothing.

QE: Except a stupid amount of duel cards.


The two needles of doom sat in her hands mocking her. The burgundy teen signed in frustration. Why did the school need an arts course if it was a duelling school? Shoe wouldn't have minded it as an optional subject but she unfortunately needed to pass it to pass her year. She wasn't arty in any way possible if I primary school teacher had anything to say.

She half hearty stabbed the ball of wool. Her teacher thankfully started her off and now sitting in the quiet garage she now regretted not taking after hour's classes. She needed to make an entire dress before the end of the week and putting it off wasn't helping.

She clicked the needles together and attempted the rhythm the teacher tried to teach her. "Through over and pull." all that lead to was her losing a stitch. She stared at in hopes it started to smoke.

Nope.

She was so engrossed in making it burn with her mind she hadn't heard someone walk in and over to her until a pair of strong hands grabbed hers and proceeded to cast on the stitch she just lost.

Blinking she leant back.

Violet eyes looked back at her. "What?" the newcomer asked half annoyed.

She stood up and spun around and poked him with the needle. "You know how to knit." She stated accusingly and slightly hurt. She was a girl and this was something all girls should know. Her pride was hurt.

"Yeah. How else did you think we got clothes as a kid?" He just shrugged. "Of course Ai'd never expect a Neo domino to understand."

She stood like a goldfish staring at him. "In other words instead of struggling like a moron I could have asked you lot." she grabbed the pattern for her project off the table and thrust it towards her saviour. "Teach me." she smiled.

Two hours later she stormed off. He was making no sense. For all she cared he could have been talking in a foreign language. She stormed off towards her dark haired crush and shoved the pattern into his hands. "Teach me." She stated.

His blue eyes glanced at the pattern then at her. "I can't knit."

She blinked at him. "But Jack said you all did."

"I can't knit but I can sew. Jack can't sew but he can knit." the mechanic stated as it was obvious. "Crow can do both."

"But he's been at work all day." and she felt guilty if she had to ask him.

Her companion nodded. "Crow! Akiza said she'd pay you to teach her to knit. Or Jacks becoming her first victim."

She stood still blinking.

"Yeah sure." a voice called half laughing.

"Can you show me how to sew later?"

He nodded.

An hour later her orange haired friend sighed in defeat. "Maybe you just can't knit?" he offered.

She was about in tears. How could something simple be so hard for her to do? She just didn't cope well with failure.

Their dark haired friend sat down next to them with cups of tea. "Jack ate the last ramen."
"I'm not going in his room to steal some." Crow huffed undignified. "Last time I near lost boar."

She looked back from one to the other. They continued to talk so she started to calm down and listened half heartily.

"Hey Akiza do you need to knit all of it?" Crow asked.

She shrugged.

"So you do it like this?" Yusei pulled her close and moved her hands to push the right hand needle through a loop of wool on the left hand needle. He wrapped the free wool around the right hand needle and pulled the right hand needle through the loop catching the wool that had been wrapped around it and pulled it off the left hand needle.

"Yeah." Crow smirked. "And you say you can't knit."

"You know why." The dark haired friend huffed.

Akiza tried hard not to let her cheeks go bright red. She was rarely this close to her crush and he had his head on her shoulder talking to Crow.

"Ok so I need to." She tried to copy Yusei's movements.

"Almost." Crow stated correcting her.

They left her to it and talked about strategies and every so often corrected her. She offered some help in their planning for the WRGP.

Jack sulked in at midnight. Akiza just irked and he had to get away.

He didn't expect to see Crow leaning against Akiza who was sitting on top of Yusei. Clenched on Akiza's hands was a decent piece of knitting.

He gave a small smirk and grabbed the knitting out of her hands and placed it with her stuff.

He grabbed Yusei's blanket from the back of the sofa and wrapped them up in it before heading to bed.


QE: I prefer sewing to knitting.

E.S.P: You can only knit rectangles and squares.

QE: Oh :P
