"Yami, wake up!" Yugi said to his dark half. "It's time to wake up!"
"Yugi…………please go back…………to sleep……………it's Saturday………there's no school………remember."
"I know there's no school today."
"Why, are you waking me up so early then?"
"Joey, Tristen, Tea, and Serenity are coming to pick us up."
"Where are we going and what's this big surprise?"
"Well if I told it wouldn't be called a surprise, would it?" Yugi said looking at Yami with a face.
"Well I guess not, but there are many unanswered questions and I have no time for surprises," Yami said in a calm voice.
"Yami can we not worry about your ancient past and let's just have fun today." Yugi said with a smile, "We have been paying attention to so many things that we forgot to at least have fun. We still are young…..I mean."
The dark half gave him a look that Yugi knows that he is not young.
"I mean, well you do look young for your age. You look like my age, not 3,000."
"Thank you Yugi I needed that. I have been feeling a little old and you made me feel better."
"Well glad I could help. So, you still not want to go. I warn you, you might be missing out on something. Trust me you will have the most fun you've ever had."
"Alright I trust you. Let's go have fun." Yami then smiled as he was falling backward and pretended to snore and sleep. Yugi started to laugh and Yami opened one eye and then closed it again. Yugi laughed more and then finally Yami laughed too.
Once Yugi was almost dressed he heard the downstairs front door open and close. Then he heard his grandpa, Solomon Mouto.
"Yugi, your friends are here!"
"Ok grandpa. I'm coming, just a minute!"
Yugi quickly put on his puzzle and ran downstairs. As he ran he heard Yami coming into the mind chain.
"Yugi let's go have some fun."
Yugi then smiled and nodded as a response and continued down the stairs. He almost tripped but lucky no one saw. When Yugi finally got to the bottom of the stairs Joey was the first to say something.
"Yug what took you? You know that we don't want to get to the surprise and it being crowed do you. Then you-know-who's surprise will be………"
"Joey don't go blabbing it all now!" Tea said to Joey reminding him.
"Don't worry Tea he can't hear we're saying because he's in his chamber, passing." Yugi said in a worried voice.
"Why is he passing, Yugi?" Tristen asked.
"I don't know I still think he's worried about his ancient past and what will lye ahead of us. What ever he needs to accomplish, I must help because I am the chosen one of the Pharaoh. I am really worried too even though that Marik is good again. Sometimes at night I feel that there is something that we still have to do but I don't know what..." Yugi said shedding some tears and a lot more worried than before, "…and ever since Marik's dark side was banished and I became the Champion I've had dreams, dreams like nothing before and full of confusion and pain. It really, literally hurts." Yugi said shedding more tears.
"Yug, I'm so sorry bud, but why didn't you tell us or gramps before," said Joey
"I was too scared to because after each morning I was so scared to say anything to anyone even to the sprit of the millennium puzzle."
"Yugi, you know that you shouldn't be scared to tell us anything, we're your friends, and we will fight this through, together," said Tea.
"Yeah, you're not alone pal, we're here when you need us," said Tristen.
"Yug, you're our bud, and I don't want you going through this alone, you should always tell us when something's up. Then once when you do, I bet that you won't feel scared anymore, and you will fight these weird dreams. Ok Yug." Joey said with tears almost in his eyes.
"Thanks guys, I'm glad you're my friends, and I'll tell you next time when I feel scared or alone. I owe you all big time." Yugi said wiping his eyes.
"No need for that Yugi, we're friends and that's what friends do," said Tristen with a chuckle.
"Thanks guys, you're the best!" Yugi said finally smiling.
"Well now that that's over how about some breakfast before you go," Solomon said with a laugh.
"Sure gramps!"
"Love to Mr. Mouto."
"Thanks grandpa."
"I'd like some, Solomon."
Bluring! Bluring!…Bluring! Bluring!…
"Hello, Yes………….Ok…………..Alright……………Ok…
Bye."
Click.
"Joey, that was your mother, she said that Serenity is sick and can't come today," said Solomon.
"Man that stinks; I guess she'll have to come a different time then, huh." Joey said pounding his foot on the ground.
"I guess so Joey. Well, let's go gang, we gotta get to the surprise early so it doesn't get crowded." Tristen said.
"Ok, be careful you guys, if you need me, you know I'll be here." Solomon said waving good-bye.
"See-yah." They all said together and left in a flash.
On their way, Yugi looked around as he walked, and up ahead, he saw a girl about his age he thought. So he told the other guys to take the short cut to the surprise so Yugi can talk to Yami. (But really isn't going to, he is going to talk to that girl.) He walks up to her and asks…
"Hi, what's your name?" Yugi asked.
"Wha…oh hi, I'm Stephanie. You must be Yugi Mouto the Champion of the Battle City Tournament."
"Yeah. Hey is that a duel disk on your arm?"
"Yes, but I'm no good. I've only won 2 duels. Hey, I was looking for a good duelist to teach me, so I guess you can do. So what do ya say?
"Well, I've kinda have plans…hey how about you come with me and meet my friends."
"Well, I was going to go home but all there is is me being bored. Sure I'll go."
"Cool come on I'll show where we're going."
So as they walked Yugi looked at the brown haired girl and then asked…
"Yeah can I see your deck while we walk?"
"Sure. Here."
"Thanks."
So Yugi looked through her deck and saw a lot of good cards.
"It's a very organized deck. You're probably not using them correctly."
"Ok maybe sometime you can………..you know…. duel with me."
"Sure. I would love to."
"Hey, Yugi, I was wondering if I can meet your other half."
"What, who do mean, Yami?"
"Yeah, Yami."
"I guess so, I don't think he would mine, hold on."
So Yugi called Yami and ask him if he would like to meet a new friend that Yugi met.
/Hey Yami, I met a girl named Stephanie. Would you like to meet her/
/Sure I guess so. Be right out. /
"He said he'll be right out Steph."
"Ok."
So Yugi evolved into his Dark Half and looked upon the young girl. Then something came to Yami, like he has met her before but he doesn't know where.
"Stephanie, I presume?" Yami asked.
"Ah yes, I am Stephanie, you must be Yami." Stephanie asks to him.
"Yes I am, but please just call me Yugi because if any one finds out that Yugi is………"
"It's ok Yugi I will keep it between us." Stephanie said then winking at Yami, "Hey, I feel as though we've meet before."
"Yeah, I feel the same way. I must leave you and Yugi, but it was a pleasure to meet you Stephanie." Yami said then bowing in front of her then leaving.
Stephanie got the strangest feeling that she knew him before and that even though they just met now she kinda likes them both.
"So, you have a good conversation with Yami." Yugi said startling Stephanie.
"Oh yes, I did Yugi. So where are your friends?"
"They should be around this bend." Yugi said turning the corner and looked around. "There they are."
So Yugi ran down the street to see Tea, Tristen, and Joey. Stephanie followed behind him.
"Hey who's she, Yug." Joey asked.
"Oh, sorry. Guys this is Stephanie. Stephanie this is, Joey, Tristen, and Tea."
"Hi, Guys!"
"You guys, would it be a problem if Stephanie joined us at you-know-where." Yugi asked.
"Where's you-know-where?" Stephanie asked
"It's a surprise for my other half, it's…" Yugi then whispered in Stephanie's ear and then Stephanie nodded that she understood.
"It's no problem to us that lovely Stephanie joins us. A friend of Yugi's is a friend of ours." Joey said looking at her pleasant beauty.
"Thanks Joey!" Stephanie said blushing, a bright red.
"Ok are you guys get ready, Yugi." Tea said.
"Ready." Yugi said.
"1, 2, 3." Everyone said at once, "Surprise"
"What is this, the arcade?" Yami said. "You did this for me I'm having fun already?"
"Cool Yugi. We are glad that you are happy and we hope that you will have fun with us today!" Every one said.
"Thanks Guys I will!"
/See, I told you that you would have fun
Yami./
/Thank you Yugi! This will be the grandest day ever in my life. /
