-ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-
Back at the arena, Jeanette and Alex were still on the arena floor. Jeanette's dad and brother were still there and then Alex's mom and dad were there with a teenaged girl that was a few years younger then Jeanette.
Jeanette smiled and replied, "Nice to meet you both. I'm Jeanette and this is my dad James and my younger brother Douglas."
Alex's dad smiled and replied, "I'm Andrew and this is my wife Susan and this is Alex's younger sister Jean. Nice to meet you, Jeanette. You are a great duelist and your mother would of been proud of your hard work."
Jeanette looked at then and replied, "You both knew my mom?"
Andrew then replied, "Of course we did, Jeanette. Me and my wife actually went to high school and college with her. After college, We all got jobs with Industrial Illusions in Minneapolis. We both still work there as low-level office workers for now and we hope to get a promotion one of these days."
Susan then replied, "It was sad to here your mom lose a tough battle with cancer, Jeanette. She was a remarkable and wonderful person and It was a honor to know such a kind person."
Jeanette as she walked up to and hugged Susan and she did so back to her and James then replied, "You guys are such great people."
Alex nodded and pointed to her younger sister and then replied, "This is my little sister Abby."
Jeanette nodded and they shook hands and then they saw a tall female wearing a fancy red dress walk into the arena floor and she replied, "Greetings, everyone. I'm Jasmine Ridley. My husband is the leader of the Pro League and we're the sponsers of this tournament."
She looked at Jeanette and replied, "Great job winning me and my husbands tournament. We're so glad we can have people like you duel and win it all. You and your opponent Alex or the best duelists in Minnesota right now."
Suddenly, a black-suited man came in with a gold suitcase and a silver one and Jasmine replied, "These have your prizes in it."
The man handed Alex the silver one and he opened it up and inside was a check and 3 Duel monsters cards (2 Fusions and a Synchro) and Jasmine replied, "These cards will work with your Vehicroid deck and this a check for 2,000 dollars. You earned it."
Alex smiled and replied, "Thank you"
She nodded and then she turned to the one holding the gold case and then the man gave Jeanette her case and she opened it up and inside was 3 effect monsters, 3 Synchros, 2 Xyz monsters and 2 Link monsters and a check and she replied, "This will be great with your deck as well, Jeanette. Also, this is a check for 50,000 dollars. Use it wisely and enjoy life."
Jeanette smiled and replied, "Thank you so much, madam."
"No need to thank me, young lady. You earned these prizes on your own."
Suddenly, she turned on her microphone and she replied, "This tournament is now closed now. Thank you all for dueling hard and having alot of fun! Until the future, enjoying life and dueling!"
The crowd cheered as she and her worker left.
-oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-
Outside of the hotel, Jeanette and her family were packing the car away to return home.
James looked at his daughter and replied, "Ready to go back home, honey?"
Jeanette sighed and replied, "I had so much fun up here and I think its time to go."
Suddenly, the saw Alex walk up to her and replied, "Hey, girl."
Jeanette looked at him and replied, "Hey, Alex."
Alex smiled and replied, "So, great dueling and I Enjoy our dueling time, girl. You have a great deck and I was proud to duel you!"
Jeanette nodded and replied, "Likewise, buddy. Heading home as well?"
"Sure am. What city do you live in?"
"Bloomington. You?"
Alex laughed and replied, "Small world. So do I! Want to meet up in a couple of days?"
Jeanette smiled and replied, "Sure can."
He took a small card from his pocket and gave it to her and he replied, "My address and cell number. Call me anytime."
She nodded as she grabbed it and then she replied, "I'll call you tomorrow so you can get my number, bud. See you later."
Alex nodded as he walked away and Douglas then replied, "I think he has a crush on you, sis."
Jeanette smiled and replied, "I know he does, bro. Let's get on home."
James nodded as they continued to pack their car up.

Back at the Pro League HQ, Samuel was going over paperwork while his two guards stood nearby.
Samuel sighed and replied, "What a ending to a great tournament."
His guards nodded as his main doors opened up and Jasmine walked in and she smiled and replied, "Hey, Sam."
Samuel got up and she walked to her and they both hugged and then kissed and then Samuel replied, "How was it?"
Jasmine sighed and replied, "Those two kids are great duelists. We need to invite them to the tournament you're holding at that former Duelist Kingdom island this summer, hon."
Samuel then replied, "I'm already am inviting them, hon."
Jasmine then replied, "The Pros from all over the United States ready to come?"
Samuel then replied, "Yep. We got the best ones and they all want to show their stuff. We even have a couple from differents of the world as well! This is going to be one hell of a tournament."
Jasmine nodded and replied, "You should call up the main Pro League offices in Los Angeles to tell them about our tournament, hon."
"I'll get to it, honey."
"Good. Will the World Fighters be helping us out this year?"
"Of course. I called Carly up earlier this week and they said they'll let a few of their Minnesota fighters come and help us out with security. They already have a building on the island and they'll good to go. Want to get some dinner, honey?"

Back at their house in Bloomington (which was about 5 miles away from the Mall Of America), Jeanette was having a quick duel with her brother Douglas in their backyard. She had a Gozuki (ATK: 1,700), Zombie Werwolf (ATK: 1,200 - 1,700) and a Zombino (ATK: 2,000) and no facedown cards and he had 2 Command Knights (ATK: 1,200 - 1,900) and 1 facedown card of his own and it was his turn.
(Douglas LP: 3600 - Jeanette LP: 7500)
Douglas drew a card and replied, "Yes! I play Silent Doom!"
Suddenly, Warrior Dai Grepher appeared and knelt (DEF: 1,600).
"Now, I tribute all 3 of my monsters to Summon Gilford the Lightning!"
As his warriors vanished into sparks of light, the mighty warrior of light appeared (ATK: 2,800).
Jeanette nodded and replied, "One of your favorite monsters, bro."
"Got that right!"
His raised his sword and a burst of electrity shot out and blasted all 3 of her zombie monsters to atoms.
"DIrect attack!"
The warrior went in and slashed at Jeanette (Jeanette LP: 7500 - 4700).
"I end my turn now."
Jeanette drew a card and replied, "I'll banish a Vampire Sorcerer to Normal Summon my Vampire Vamp without a tribute!"
As the card appeared and faded away, a very beautiful looking vampire appeared with a evil smile on her face (ATK: 2,000).
"Since I Nornal Summoned her, I can equip one of your monsters to her!"
GIlford groaned as he turned into particles of light and they flew in and the vampire absorbed them (ATK: 2,000 - 4,800).
Douglas sighed and then he smiled and replied, "Great duel, sis. Finish it for us."
"It was a honor, bro. Vampire Vamp, finish him."
She opened her cape and two glowing bats flew out and slashed and bit Douglas on the arm (Douglas LP: 3600 - 0).
Jeanette smiled and replied, "That's game, little brother."
Douglas nodded as he walked up to her and hugged her and he replied, "I"m getting better, sis. Let's head on in and have some dinner."
Jeanette nodded as they both did so.

That following day, Jeanette was in her room, going over her deck. SHe was wearing some pajamas that Christina bought for her before she passed on.
Jeanette smiled and replied, "With the mix of zombies and vampire monsters I have, my deck is better then ever!"
She quickly gathered the cards up and made a deck and then she heard a knocking at her door and then she smiled and replied, "Come in!"
The door opened up and James replied, "Hey, kiddo."
Jeanette looked at him and she smiled and replied, "Hey, daddy. What's up?"
"There's this guy from the Pro Leagues wanting to talk to you about a future event they want you to be a part of, hon."
"Sounds cool. Let me get on some clothes and I'll be down there in a few minutes."
He nodded as he closed a door and she smiled and replied, "I hope its for another tournament. I want to do some more dueling."
-ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-
Downstairs, the man from the Pro League (Which was Samuel's assistant Joseph) and another worker (A female named Denise Coppleman) were enjoying some coffee made by James himself. Douglas was in his room and doing homework.
James then replied, "Like my special coffee? My wife liked it when she was still a part of this world."
Joseph sipped it and he nodded and replied, "Very much so, sir. Thank you for it. Sorry to hear about your wife."
"Thank you. Where is this tournament being held anyway?"

Joseph nodded as Jeanette walked down wearing a white tshirt and blue jeans and the two got up and Joseph smiled and replied, "Hello, Jeanette. I'm Joseph Timberland and this is co-worker Denise Coppleman. We're from the Pro League and we both work under Jasmine and Samuel Ridley."
Jeanette shook both their hands and then she sat down on the couch and replied, "Charmed to meet the both of you. What can I do for you?"

Wendsday, May 30th, 2114
Minneapolis/St. Paul International AIrport / 7:00am
Outside of the airport, Jeanette was about to go in and get ready for her flight to Los Angeles. Her dad and brother were there to see them off. She wore a backpack that her mom bought for her when she was young.
James smiled and replied, "Go and make us proud, hon. With your mother always watching over from above, you'll be just fine."
Jeanette nodded and replied, "With those cards I got from winning that tournament and the cards mom made for me in my deck, I should be just fine."
Douglas then replied, "I'll miss you a lot, sis. Good luck."
She quickly hugged her family as a female airport worker walked out of the terminal and she replied, "You Jeanette?"
She nodded to her and the worker replied, "I'm Jess Matthews, private attendant for Master Ridley's private jet. You and the runner up from the tournament get a private jet ride out to Los Angeles. It'll be stocked with all sorts of snacks and drinks."
Douglas then replied, "Lucky duck."
Jeanette looked at her and replied, "Is my stuff okay to go?"
Jess nodded and replied, "You better believe it is, young lady. It's already heading to Duelist Paradise as we speak. We have to leave. Alex already arrived a hour ago and he's ready to go."
Jeanette nodded as they both walked into the terminal and she quickly waived to her family and James sighed and replied, "Good luck in the tournament, baby girl."

Los Angeles Seaport / 2:30pm
After a decent plane ride and limo trip to the seaport, Jeanette and Alex where there and waiting to see which ship would take them to Duelist Paradise.
Alex then replied, "Man, they really know how to pamper a guy on a jet! That was the best airplane ride I ever had. It was smooth and easy going."
Jeanette nodded nad replied, "No joke about that one, buddy. It was a cool ride."
Alex nodded and replied, "I can't wait to show the world what my deck can do!"
He started to to the wharf area of the seaport and Jeanette only sighed as she followed him from behind.
-oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-
The Pro League offices pitched and got the best cruise ship they could find. It was huge and it had everything a vacationer would ever want on one, including a small casino, nightclubs and many restaurants as well. It was like a floating water palace. Alex and Jeanette were hanging out inside the ship's coffee shop on the main deck.
Alex looked at his friend and replied, "Is your room amazing as well, girl?"
Jeanette sipped her coffee and nodded and replied, "It sure is. A great big bed, a large TV and more! It's look my room back home."
Alex nodded as older gentleman walked in and he had a small grey-haired beard and wore glasses as he wore a grey suit and Jeanette replied, "Who's he?"
Alex then replied, "I've heard of him. THat's Ajay Muragunda from Dubai. He's supposed to be one of the best duelists to come from the Middle East."
Jeanette nodded as they saw the man grab the coffee drink he ordered and Jeanette waived to him and the guy turned to them both and then simply left and Jeanette then replied, "That was a weird look he gave us."
Alex smiled and replied, "Maybe he's afraid of us both because of how good of duelists we are!"
Jeanette only smiled as she continued to drink her coffee.
-ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Back at a lower part of the shape, Ajay was sitting on his bed and looking at a map of Duelist Paradise that he pinned on the wall.
He sighed and replied, "Somewhere on that island is a secret treasure grotto that holds that Millennium item that was never even known and not even Atem knew about it. If I can manage to find it, I'll be the most powerful person in the world!"
"ATTENTION, DUELISTS!", a loudspeaker announced, "WE'LL BE ARRIVING AT DUELIST PARADISE SEAPORT IN ONE HOUR! AFTER ARRIVING, PLEASE CHECK WITH ANY OF THE FIVE WORKERS THAT'LL GIVE ALL THE STUFF YOU NEED FOR YOU YOU'LL NEED FOR THE TOURNAMENT! THANK YOU AND ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR TRIP!"
Ajay smiled and replied, "I guess this means my search will soon begin!"
