Yugi stood nervously in line with the other Domino High graduates. In front of him Joey was up to get his diploma while Tea was behind him with a big smile. Yugi sighed and began to play with the sleeves of his gown. He couldn't believe this was happening, he was actually graduating with all his friends by his side. After years of dueling and fighting to protect the world from evil, that was all ending today.
It also met there was no reason for the Pharaoh to come back under any circumstances. Maybe that was why he was so sad on such a happy day. He looked out to the crowd, his mother and grandpa were in the third row; even his dad took time off work to come. Still though he wished he could go back to the days with his Yami fighting evil.
Looking back on that last thought Yugi mentally kicked himself, bring back Bakura or even Mariks dark side just to see Yami again? Selfish. Bakura was one of their greatest enemies and Mariks dark side, Yugi shivered, he never wanted to see him again. Besides Atem already had his memories back, he didn't need Yugi's help anymore.
Still though all thoses moments seemed nothing more than a memory he could forget. And he didn't like that. To him it went by fast, way to fast.
Yugi pulled from his thoughts when he realized it was time for him to get his diploma. Yugi walk to his principle witha bashful smile, feeling a bit nervous about everyones eyes on him. Yugi had grown taller by now, but the gown was still a bit big on him, but he managed not to trip.
After he got off the stage he was greeted by Joeys big goofy smile. "Hey, Yugi, feeling all right?"
"Yeah, why do you ask?"
"you just looked a bit dazed back their." Tea came walking up smiling.
"Don't worry I was just thinking." Tristan walked up behind Joey, ready to get him in a headlock.
"Hey, Wheeler, who let you in here?!"
Joey tried to struggle out of Tristans grip, "as a matter of fact Tristan I passed, not so sure about you though." They both continued to wrestle around.
"Yugi..." Tea looked at the the ground for a moment, "next week i'm leaving for New York..."
"What? But thats so soon...to soon..."
"We have a week at least."She sighed, picking up Yugi's distress. Yugi looked up when Tea tapped his shoulder with something, a marker. "Okay guys, hands in."
After drawing her friendship symbol Joey and Tristan walkes off mumbling something like "i hope tjis isn't permanent marker again..."
Meanwhile Bakura was leaning against the wall reading his book sadly. "Friend's" he sighed, "I thought we were friends too..."
