It is now day two. Yugi and his grandpa are sitting in the table, eating breakfast.
As they were eating, Solomon notices his grandson's eyes. They have small, dark marks underneath them, not to mention that his eyelids are half-closed. "Hey, Yugi, are you alright?" asked his Grandfather.
Yugi didn't answer. He's just sitting there, quietly and slowly eating his food.
"YUGI!" The old man raised his voice, causing his grandson to snap out of drowsiness.
"Huh-wha?" Yugi stammered.
"I've asked if you're alright."
"Oh, nothing. Just kept having this crazy dream. It's been keeping me up every night."
Grandpa Moto thinks for a moment, "Is it about the Pharaoh? I know you miss him but..."
"It's not that, Grandpa. I had a nightmare, and I've kept having the same dream for four days now, but I don't wanna talk about it anymore."
"Why not? You can tell me about your nightmare. I'm your Grandpa."
"I know, Grandpa, I know." Yugi did want to tell his grandpa, but he just couldn't. Not only it's hard, but it's also complicated to explain.
His Grandfather sighs in worry before looking at his brand new wristwatch Yugi got him for his birthday. "Er, Yugi, didn't you say that you have a test today?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Well, it's not that you're gonna be late. It's just that I saw the news this morning, and they say that the road you go through is closed because a semi truck fell through."
Yugi's fork that he was using made a clattering sound as he dropped it on his plate. His eyes became as big as fine china, "What?!"
"Oh, don't worry about the driver, he's perfectly fine."
"No! Not that! I have a test in 25 minutes! That road was the quickest way to school!" He gets off his chair and tries to rush to the living room, "I have to call Tea and-"
"Tea and your other friends are already at school and their parents are at work."
"What?! But the other roads would take at least 30 minutes!"
"Well, then I guess you better get going." He closes his eyes and crosses his arms, "Although, I really doubt that you could get to school on time through those roads, unless you can run really fast, like one of those characters in that new video game your friends keep talking about. What was his name again? Speedy the Porcupine?" He opens his eyes. Yugi had vanished, as if he was never there. He blinks in confusion, " Um, Yugi?"
Yugi sprints through the streets of Domino City, causing smoky dust to appear. He sprints like he was running away from either the monster in his nightmares, or Rebecca trying to kiss him silly again. Due to his blue school uniform and his spiky hair, Yugi is running so fast, people have been mistaking him for a Sonic the Hedgehog, or Speedy the Porcupine, as his Grandpa thought he was called.
Each women in dresses he passes, their dresses flew up , forcing the wearers to hold them down. When he ran past a magazine kiosk, almost all of the papers flew out instantly. Yugi has one more minute before the test. He finally made it to school grounds.
"All right, class. Have everything off your desk except for a pen or pencil," the class teacher instructed. The class does what he says. except for Joey and Tristan, who looked like they've been up all night. "Your test will begin as soon as I pass them out."
The teacher walks up to the door and closes it. But before walked away from it, he heard a loud thud. That sound startled the students.
The teacher opens the door to see Yugi Moto on the floor. The spiky-headed teen quickly picks himself up. "Sorry I'm late!"
"Mr. Moto, you're two minutes late to class. And you look a mess."
"I know, but you the road I walk through is closed and the other-"
"J-j-j-just sit down Mr. Moto, please."
Yugi lowers his head, "Yes, sir." He walks to his desk, which is located next to Tea's, and in front of Joey and Tristan's. As he sits down, Tea whispers to him.
"Hey, Yugi. Sorry I didn't get you earlier. I should've told you that there's a shortcut."
Yugi sighs while leaning on his desk, "It's alright, Tea."
The brunette then notices his exhausted complexion, "Wow, Yugi . You look about as tired as Joey and Tristan."
"How can you tell from them?"
Tea points at the mentioned boys from behind. The two boys are holding each other by each other's shoulder while sitting in their separate eyes as Yugi does. They chant the word "smash" over and over as if they've been hypnotized.
Tea laughs, "Looks like these two have been up all night playing that new game."
"Yeah, that's pretty funny," Yugi suddenly slams his face on his desk, falling asleep while snoring loudly.
"No sleeping in class, Mr. Moto," said the teacher.
Yugi snapped out his sleep, still very drowsy.
After school, the gang went to eat at the burger joint where Tea used to work at. The restaurant still has its classic 1950s look. All the teenage waitresses in skirts delivers food to the customers while riding on roller skates professionally. They have a sign outside in the shape of glass filled with pink neon. Yugi, Tea, Joey, and Tristan are sitting in a table together, eating burgers, fries, soda, and milkshakes. Yugi sits next to Tea, in front of Joey, diagonal from Tristan, and by the window.
Joey and Tristan are still tired from playing that game all night. Yugi is still tired from his nightmares about the butterfly man. Tea is worried about these three, especially Yugi.
Tristan starts to ask everyone, "Soooo, how did you guys do on the test today? I made a 'C minus'."
Joey answers, while lying his head on the table, "Eh not very good. I made a 'D'. "
"Well, I got an 'A' plus!" said Tea happily before facing Yugi. "What did you make, Yugi?"
The spiky-headed boy blushed when she asked him. His only response was a mumble.
"Huh?" asked the confused brown-haired girl.
"'f'..."
"Yuge, you mind speaking a little louder?" asked their blonde friend.
Yugi groans, "'F!'" He quickly covers his mouth with both his hands.
His friends winced in suprise, "Huh?!"
Yugi uncovers his mouth and groaned again, "An 'F', OK? I made an 'F' on the test."
"But, Yugi," Tristan speaking. "You always make a 'B' or an 'A' on all the tests."
"Yeah, what happened?" asked Joey. "Me and Tristan haven't studied much 'cause we were too excited about the game and my sister's visiting."
Yugi sighed, "Well, the truth is... I haven't studied at all."
"What? But why?" Asked Tea.
Yugi places his arms on the table and buries his face in them, "I don't wanna talk about it." His voice muffled.
"Aw, come on, Yugi," said Tristan. "You can tell us."
"No..."
"Come on, Yuge," begged Joey. "I'll give you five bucks."
"No."
"I'll let you borrow my Gearfried the Legend card."
"No."
"I'll let you date my sister."
"WHAT!?" Tea and Tristan yelled.
"I said 'no'."
Joey scoffs, "Fine!" After a moment, "I'll let you play Super Smash Bro-"
The irritated boy flips his head back up, "Alright, fine! Jeez!"
Tea looked even more worried, "Sheesh, Yugi. What's been bugging you? Is it about the Pharaoh?"
Yugi lowers his head, "No. It's just... See, I keep having this dream, or nightmare, and everyday, it's been keeping me up most of the night for four days."
"What kind of nightmare you've been havin'?" asked Tristan while he sips his milkshake.
"It's about this floating stage in the middle of darkness, and I'm always standing on it. There's also this floating, blue-colored man that comes up behind me."
At nighttime, Yugi tells the rest of the story back at the game shop. Everyone is sitting in the living room. Yugi sits in the brown couch in front of the table. He sits between Tea and his grandpa. Joey and Tristan each sits on a separate ottoman between the sides of the table.
"With a deep, bone-chilling voice, he says only these four words very slowly: 'Free me, or else'. Then, he eventually brings out a red blade and strikes at me. And finally, the next thing I know, I wake up in my bed, with my heart beating real fast. For four nights, I've been having that same dream ever since then. So that's why I'm so miserable right now."
After a moment of silence, his Grandpa and friends responds.
"Goodness," said his Grandpa. "It must've been horrible dreaming to that every night."
"Yeah, talk about repeating the same 'frightmare,'" said Joey, leaning on his lap.
"Looks like you should really take a vacation," suggested Tristan, crossing his arms.
"Are you gonna be Ok? You think you might have that dream again?" Tea asked twice while rubbing his shoulder.
Yugi shrugs his shoulder, "Eh, I think I'll be fine."
"Well, in that case," Tristan sat up. "I'm going back home to play some more Brawl."
"So am I!" Joey stands up. "Feel better, Yugi. Later!"
"Thanks, guys," Yugi thanked. By the way, Joey, how do you like your new house?"
The blond smiled and answered before he leaves, "Man, it was tight! You guys should come visit! I'll give you the address tomorrow. I already gave it to Serenity before she left." Joey winks while he gives his friends a thumbs up.
"We'd like that, Joey. Try not to stay up too late again, you guys!" Tea advised.
"We won't," said the boys as they march out with locked arms while humming the Super Smash Brother: Brawl theme song.
"Oh, for what it's like to be young again," Solomon fantasized.
Tea laughs before sitting up, "Well, I gotta go and do some homework. Try to sleep better, OK, Yugi?" She pats him on the head.
"OK, Tea," he nods.
"Good. Ciao!" The brunette wave goodbye before leaving the room.
Grandpa sits up, "Well, I think you better go to bed right now, Yugi. You look awfully exhausted."
Yugi smiles and agrees with a nod, "OK, Grandpa."
