The Past Meets the Present
Watching the Heavens
It's time to head to bed, Yugi, Yami stated piping up after hours in silence. I have homework Yami, Yugi growled and grabbed his backpack. Why didn't you do it earlier instead of dueling Joey? Yami asked silently rebuking the boy. I didn't want to. Yugi replied simply and shrugging his shoulders, he opened up his backpack and pulled out a history book. Yami watched intently as he flipped to a page. He admitted that he always loved watching these humans mess up history and recreate it to their own understandings. Nevertheless, he jumped in excitement when he saw Yugi stop at a history that he knew extremely well. The ancient Egyptian civilization. DARN!! My brain hurts and I don't even really understand any of this! Yugi cursed rubbing his temples. What do you need to do? Yami asked a little too excitedly. Our teacher wanted us to make a pyramid and put a person inside. It's a project Yami and I really need help. Placing his head between his knees, Yugi contemplated on how he was going to start this project. I'll help. You'll what? I'll help you with your project just let me take over Yugi and I will have it done quickly. Yami replied and before Yugi could say 'yay' or 'nay' he transformed and took over Yugi's body. Looking down at the instructions that Yugi's teacher printed out and then down at the picture the book had for a pyramid, Yami laughed. "I'll do this one my way. Sorry Yugi, I think I'll have to defy your teacher's instructions. They are all wrong after all." What ever you say Yami, you are the master expert of all of this anyway. Yugi laughed himself, my teacher actually did something wrong for a change. Well, that's simply because she has never lived in Egypt at this time, I have. Yami commented simply and shook his head. Now, why don't you sleep while I do this. After all, I have been sleeping all day. Doing as Yami told him, Yugi relaxed and soothed himself until he was sleeping. There we go, rest Yugi, after all, you are the one working this body twenty-four-seven. With that, Yami continued on working on the pyramid until he found a place to stop. Then, setting the work down, he turned off the lights and fell asleep himself, this time, he didn't even switch bodies with Yugi.

Are you ready to present your pyramid? Yami asked Yugi cheerfully as they walked towards school. Yep, sure am. Thank you Yami. Yugi answered feeling assured with himself. No problem, I actually enjoyed seeing what your book told about my world. Actually, they got some stuff mixed up but I can't tell them that now can I? Yami laughed heartily. Question, which one of us wants to go to school today? They have never seen you before, I think that it would be fun to pull a trick on them. What do you say Yami? Yugi said sneakily. No I don't think. wait a minute. I have always wanted to go to school. Okay, I think I'll do it. With that, Yami took over and picked up the pace. This is going to be great.
"Hey Joey!" Yami called out as Joey turned from an alley. He turned suddenly and then shock washed his face, "Yuge!!" "Nope, it's Yami today but you can still call me Yuge if you think that is easier for you." Yami replied laughing at Joey's face. "Are you sure that you should do this?" Joey asked uncertain. Laughing harder, Yami smiled and shook his head, "Nope but I'm doing it anyway. Come on, we'll be late for class."
Getting to school, Yami and Joey met with Tristan, Tea, Mai and Bokura. They were all shocked as well when they found out that Yami was playing Yugi for the day, but it was the teachers and the other peers that were shocked the most, when a big Yugi came in instead of the same small one that they remembered. "Uh, Yugi, what happened to you?" Mrs. Cameron asked scratching her head. Yami looked down at himself and then back up at Yugi's history teacher, "I don't know, I look and feel normal. Guess I caught a growth- spurt." Yugi's friends laughed at the pharaoh's pun, knowing full well what happened. Shaking his head, Yami just pointed toward his pyramid model, "Well, do you want me to start first?" Shaking herself free from her awkward trance, Mrs. Cameron nodded. "Yes, please do Yugi." She then turned around and sat down at her desk. Walking to the front, Yami held up the pyramid. "As I was think of what to do, I decided to add a few things differently to your instructions." He said to the teacher and then turned back to his audience, "Well, as you know this is a pyramid. But what kind of pyramid do you think it is?" Many people raised their hands but spat only wrong answers. Finally, Yami held up his hand as if to silence the room. It worked. "I'll tell you."
Walking out of the classroom and down stairs, Yami laughed. "This is great!!" Joey hurried to his side and whispered, "What?" "I've never really been to a school like this. I have always had teachers and only me, no other peers. I truly envy Yugi some times."
The rest of the day was a blast for Yami and he enjoyed it thoroughly. At night, Yami and Yugi went for a walk outside and sat down on a hill. Yugi, I was glad to be you today but you must go back tomorrow for this is your life. Oh Yami, I sometimes wish I didn't have to but I will, that I will. Yugi sighed and laid back. He looked up and watched the blinking stars. Yugi? Yes? Did you ever think of what really consisted in those stars? No, why?
Yami sighed and concentrated back on the same stars. My father, back when he was alive, use to tell me all these kinds of stories about the Heavens and then, if I couldn't understand them, I went to my priest, Simon and he showed me with his magic. Finally, I found it out for myself what all of the stories meant. Which is? Yugi asked with a sudden interest. Simply that, if you look at the stars you'll eventually find your own Heaven, your own destiny. So stay Yugi, stay young forever and watch, keep watching the Heavens.
