CHAPTER 2! OMG!

Umm...I don't really know how to say this. I saw this fanfic and at the begining of every chap., she/he woud put a quote that kinda matched the story. Well, I wanna do that! So, here's my quote-

In order to be a realist you must believe in miracles.
-Henry Christopher Bailey


"Joey! Wake up!" Joey could feel his body being shook. "Ten more minutes…wait…make that twenty."

He then heard the sweet laugh of his younger sister. She was nineteen, turning twenty in July.

"Joey! Get up! It's Tea!"

Joey shot up pulling the covers over his bear chest. "Right now?"

He started to blush but then heard Serenity's sweet laugh again. (AN- HE DOESN'T THINK OF TEA THAT WAY! SO STOP THINKING IT!)

"No! She's on the phone!" She waved the pale yellow phone in his face.

Joey changed his position so he was facing the small TV that was some feet from the coach.

"Hello?" He said with a yawn.

"Joey? Are you just waking up?"

"No, I'm being woken up."

Tea laughed, "Sorry Joey. But Mr. Moto called and they want to meet at Yugi's apartment at noon. I've called everybody else; you just need to call Yugi. Tell him were making a big lunch at his place."

Joey groaned. "Why don't you call him?"

"Because if he's still asleep, he will yell at you, not me."

"Well that's hardly far."

Tea laughed, "Bye Joey!" "No wa-!"

She hung up.

Sighing, he got up and put the phone back to its receiver.

Then he turned to Serenity, "Why are you up this early? What time did you get here?"

Serenity smiled, "About midnight. I've only been up for about fifteen minutes or so. Its just habit to not sleep in over ten. I've cleaned up a little and started some coffee to get your lazy bottom up."

She walked over behind the counter and pushed some buttons on the coffee maker. It was old; obviously it had been well used before Joey went to collage.

"I just feel sorry for Yugi. Who knows what time he got home and in bed."

Joey scratched his head, "Yeah…"

Then Serenity started to giggle. Joey blushed and looked down.

"Heh. I think I'll go put some pants on…"

He said heading towards his bedroom.

He slept on the coach so Serenity could sleep on the bed.

Serenity laughed, "At least now I know."

Joey turned to her. "Know what?"

Serenity smiled, "Boxers."

Joey rolled his eyes with amusement and headed off to his room. "Wow." He said as he entered his room.

(AN- Okay! To help you picture this, this is the layout of his apart: When you enter to the right is a old coach with a small TV on a low, cheap table (this stuff is obviously coming from garage sales and Good Will…Joey…your so cheap! ) with a small TV and s sliding door that leads to the small balcony. To the left is a kitchen that you enter by a small little passage that if you turned you would see a door that lead to a room as small as a closet that has the washer and dyer, but you just turn and you enter the kitchen that has a counter with two wooden stools that when you sit your back is facing the 'living room' (Joey doesn't have a table, he normally eats on the coach anyways!). Then if you were to go straight from the door you would enter a small hallway that to your right is a door that leads to the bedroom and to the left is the small bathroom. The walls are all white. Sorry I'm so bad at describing this but I hope you got a better picture!)

"What?"

"You made the bed, and it looked like you picked up some of my clothes."

Serenity laughed, "Unlike you, I'm not a little kid anymore. I try to clean up around the place, Joseph."

"But you'll always be my little sister."

11:48am

Mr. Moto, Professor Hawkins, and Rebecca were standing by Yugi's apartment, number 182 on the third level.

It was a sunny day, just like yesterday, only a few clouds to be seen.

"Hey!" Shouted Tea as she came up the apartment stairs.

The apartment building Yugi was in was white with gray metal stairs. The grass around the place was green and it did have a swimming pool, though it wasn't as big as some apartment's.

"Why are you guys just standing there?" Tea asked as she approached them.

"We've only been here a few minutes," explained Rebecca. Her voice was much more grown up then what it used to be. "We knocked but Yugi hasn't answered. He is in apartment 182, right?"

"Uh…yeah." Tea realized what must of happened and got angry.

I bet Joey forgot! That little…! It must have showed on her face that she was upset.

"Is something wrong Tea?" Asked Professor. "Uh, no! It's all good! Don't worry!"

Tea reached into her small tan bag and pulled out her keys. She picked out the copy of the key she had of Yugi's apartment.

She put it into the key lock and twisted. The door opened, creaking slightly.

"Here we go!" She said happily.

"Umm… Tea?" Rebecca said as they walked in.

"Huh?"

"Why do you have a copy of his key?"

Tea blushed. "I-It's not like were living together or anything! It's just…"

She had to stop and think. Why did she have a key to his house?

"It's…um…you see…"

Rebecca shook her head. "Never mind Tea."

"Uh. Okay." Rebecca walked off to see Yugi's place and she sighed.

Glad she dropped that…

(AN-OKAY! Once again, layout help! I'm sorry but some people need this! Okay. It's shaped differently then Joey's house. It goes like this; you enter the place and to your right is the living room. On the wall you face is a coach that could squeeze three people. Then there is a chair against the far wall. On the wall with the door that you enter is a TV and on the wall that the chair is on is a door that goes to the bathroom/washing room. Then on your far left is a door that leads to the bedroom. But before that is a kitchen that, like Joey's, has a counter wall that has a large space that you can talk through. The fridge is on the wall that the coach is, and the oven is on the wall of the bedroom door. The rest is counters and cabinets. The walls are white, also like Joey's. NOTE- It's not really squishy between the kitchen and the door, Yugi's apartment is a little bit bigger then Joey's!)

Mr. Moto sat down in the chair and said in a small voice,

"Did anybody call to let Yugi know?"

Tea sighed, taking out her key and closing the door. She spoke above a whisper.

"Joey was supposed to. I bet he forgot. He's brain dead that way." She sighed and walked into the kitchen, putting her bag on the counter.

Then she reached over for Yugi's cordless phone. She dialed 2, Joey's speed call number. Nobody was there.

Then she mentally slapped herself. "Of course he's not home. He must have already of left to get here."

She sighed and put the phone back. "I don't know Joey's cell phone number. In fact…I don't think he has one. But I'm sure Serenity does, but I don't know it…"

She started pressing buttons on Yugi's phone.

"And it's not on Yugi's speed dial either. I guess we'll just have to wake him up."

Rebecca was by Yugi's door, Tea looked at her and nodded. She gulped and knocked on the door.

No answer.

She looked at Tea.

Tea sighed and nodded.

She slowly creaked open the door.

"Yugi?" Rebecca said quietly.

Tea laughed. "I don't think he'll wake up to that. When he's out, he's out. I doubt he got a lot of sleep. You might have to shake him."

Rebecca turned red and went in. "Umm…Yugi?"

She looked over. His room was clean. An opened duffle bag was by a wooden dresser. She looked, and under white sheets, under the glow of the sun by the window by his bead, was Yugi.

He slept face up, his arm under his head and the other on top of the covers. She slowly walked, but Yugi must have heard.

He shifted so his back was to her.

"Yugi?"

What am I doing? This is stupid! I'll just walk up and wake him up!

She walked over to him. She stood next to the bed, her legs pressing against it.

His figure was taller; he must have done some growing, she thought. His hair was bigger, but the same spiky look. His skin was a nice color, not too pale, not too tan.

She put her hand on his arm to shake him. His skin was soft, but his arm was firm from muscle.

She could feel herself blushing. She slowly shook his arm.

She spoke above a whisper, "Yugi?"

Then she was startled and took a couple steps back when Yugi started to stir.

"Umm…Yugi?"

Finally, Yugi sat up and turned. He turned towards Rebecca. His eyes slowly opened. His purple red eyes glowed with morning sun as he looked at her.

"Rebecca?" He said slowly in a tired voice.

Rebecca was speechless.

His bare chest…His glowing eyes…it was too much for words. But that wasn't what really caught her off guard. She looked at his eyes, they were narrower. Not the huge round ones they used to be. His bangs were longer. He looked like the pharaoh a few years younger. His voice wasn't as deep though and he didn't have the bangs that Atem did that stood up.

"Rebecca?" He said again, rubbing his eye.

"Yugi…um…AH! I'm sorry! Tea asked me to wake you! I'll let you get a shirt on!"

Then she rushed out of the room, leaving Yugi completely confused.

She slammed the door behind her, out of breath.

"You look like you saw a monster, is he that bad looking in the mornings?" Tea said smiling.

"He looks…" Rebecca started.

"A lot like the Pharaoh?" Tea said, as she was writing things down on a piece of paper with a blue pen.

"Yeah." Rebecca said softly as she moved to sit on the coach. "A lot like the pharaoh."

"I see…" said Professor who seemed to be thinking of something.

"What is on your mind?" Asked Grandpa M.

"Well, I…" but then everyone looked over when they heard the door creek open.

Then they saw Yugi with a white shirt except for the sleeves and words that said, "MY HERO" was in light blue and he had on dark blue jeans. He had white socks on.

He closed the door behind him. He smiled that warm smile that made Rebecca love him so much and said, "This is a surprise."

Tea groaned. "It shouldn't have been. Joey was supposed to call you."

"He might have. I probably didn't hear the phone."

He said walking over to the phone. He pressed the message button. "NO NEW MESSAGES." Said the automated voice.

"Then again…maybe not." Yugi said walking into his living room. "Hello Professor!" He said smiling.

Professor returned his smile.

"Hey Gramps!" He said walked towards his grandfather.

"Hello Yugi! We'll have to hear about Collage later when everybody else gets here."

"Everybody else?"

"Yeah." Rebecca answered. "Tristan, Joey, Serenity, and Duke still have to come."

"Well, Duke actually can't come. That's what he told me when I called, he said to say sorry for him."

Yugi laughed slightly. "Well, looks like I was the only one who didn't know."

Everybody chuckled at that.

"What time is it?" He asked looking at Tea.

"Umm…it's about noon."

"Has everybody eaten?"

"Nope! That's the whole point! Were going to catch up when everybody gets here and make a big lunch, or brunch for some people. I'm making a list right now of the things we will need. I'm going to run to the store."

"Want me to go?"

"No, I'm fine."

"Alright." Yugi smiled.

"Yugi, sit down!" Rebecca said, scooting over.

"Sure." Yugi walked over and sat down.

"So, you've already meet Rebecca." Professor Hawkins said with a smile.

"Uh, yes we have." Yugi said laughing. "I'm sorry I'm so hard to wake up. Usually I'm a light sleeper and up by eight."

"Oh! It's fine! You were up late last night…. when did you get back anyways?"

Yugi looked up, his legs crossed and his arm that was away from Rebecca stretched out on the coach. "Umm…about two in the morning."

"What? That's so late!"

Yugi laughed. "We've been out later then that. Right Tea? You remember?"

Tea laughed sitting on the other side of Yugi, "Remember? I'm trying to forget!"

They laughed. Everybody looked at them with wide eyes; Mr. Moto's mouth dropped and Rebecca covered hers.

Yugi and Tea stopped laughing and realized what it sounded like.

They both spoke at the same time. "NO! It's not like that!"

Tea blushed.

Yugi tried to explain, but only sunk in deeper. "There was a party! Joey, Tristan, Tea and I were there!"

"And there were drinks!"

"But we didn't do anything… we'll…ask Joey and Tristan when they get here. They'll want their say in this."

Mr. Moto sat back on his chair, Professor leaned back and Rebecca put her hand down.

Oh, I'll ask them. Trust me. Tea, don't you dare try to steal my Yugi!


Lol. Rebecca seems to get the last say in everything, doesn't she? REVIEW PEOPLE! IT ONLY TAKES A SECOND AND IT HELPS ME!
