It was five 'o clock. Exactly the time Cadence had promised her father she would be home after school that night. She panted heavily as she raced to her house just in time, panting even more and gripping her shaking knees while staring at the wooden door. She took a nice long deep breath as she glanced over at her father's car that was parked in the driveway, telling her that he was home and probably already watching TV.
Cadence fixed her black baseball cap and walked inside, almost forgetting to wipe her feet on the welcome mat. Her father was sitting in the living room watching TV and drinking a beer in his recliner that if one sat in could feel the dent he made from sitting there too long. Typical father. He looked up at Cadence's smiling face when she closed the door behind her. She flung her sneakers across the floor and ran up to her dad and gave him a giant hug and kiss.
"Hey Cadence guess what? I got a raise today. Kaiba just called in and gave me a raise for no odd reason." He sang happily, taking a giant gulp of his beer. Cadence blinked in surprise as she let go of her father and began to walk up to the stairs that lead to her room. He took another sip of his beer, and turned the TV up.
"Good for you Dad, he must be recognizing your hard work." She said, slightly curious at why Kaiba had given him a raise. Maybe the events from today caused this? He nodded in agreement and smashed his beer can. She rolled her eyes and walked up the steps to her room aka the sanctuary of her teenaged fits. It was messy and unruly, but that's how she liked it.
"That's odd, I keep feeling like I forgot some thing..." She mumbled under her breath as she took off her black shirt, leaving her with your bra on and pants. It was nice to be able to be a girl again, considering that she had enough being a guy for one day.
Cadence slumped down in her computer chair by her junk covered desk, putting on her bulky headphones and listing to music. She propped her head up with her arms, relaxing and zoning out.

"Grandpa, I'm going to Cadences house to drop off his bag." Yugi waved good-bye to his Grandpa and headed his way down to Cadence's house. He shrugged not sure weather or not he wanted to be friends with Cadence, considering he was also a friend with that jerk Kaiba, but Joey and Tristan seemed to adore him in some odd way. He was also taking Tea away from Yugi, which he didn't like at all.
"Yugi, what wrong you seemed bummed out?" The familiar deep voice of Yami, his ancient Egyptian spirit, seemed very worried for Yugi.
"Its nothing...We just have a new guy in class and I'm not sure what to make of him." Yugi sighed, gripping the brief case in his hand. Yami floated next to him, sighing with him.
"Well, I can always take over if he causes trouble."
"Thanks Yami...but I think I can handle this my self." Yugi stopped at Cadences address that was written on the brief case. He heard the TV on so he decided to ring the doorbell. A large man wearing a suit answered the door; he had a big green beard and mustache. Yugi swallowed hard and tried not to move. If you don't move, they can't see you…
"Yes…and who are you kid?" The man bellowed, scaring Yugi a bit. Yugi stood tall, taking in a deep breath. So much for the invisible tactic. The man cocked an eyebrow, leaning against the doorway.
"C-Cadence left...the brief case at my Grandpa's shop." Yugi held the brief case up, the man smiled wildly. It was like his expression changed like he had Bipolar disorder.
"Well now, why didn't you just say so? Cadences room is up stairs." The man moved a side letting Yugi in the house. "I'm Cadence's father, if you need anything just ask me." The man sat back down in his chair and took another sip of his beer.
'C-creepy...'Yugi thought walking up the creaky stairs to Cadence's room. He made it to the poster-covered door and knocked loudly. No reply. 'He must not be able to hear me. Ill just walk in. maybe he's in the bathroom. ' Yugi walked inside Cadence's room, shocked. There sat Cadence all right, but he, I mean, she was wearing noting but a bra and black jeans. Yugi felt his face grew hot with embarrassment when she noticed he was standing in the middle of her room, blushing.
/\/\/\/\/\/\
Blushing now, her jaw hung loosely off its hinges while she looked at Yugi, who was blushing just as bad as she was. Cadence took off her headphones, setting them on the computer desk slowly as she tried to feel for her black t-shirt and avoid falling off the chair. She and Yugi didn't break eye contact as her hand finally found the black shirt and put it on over your bra and such, trying not to freak out in embarrassment. He pointed immediately at her once he came over shock.
"Y-Your a GIRL!" Yugi screamed loudly, falling back onto the floor wide eyed and deeply confused. Cadence rolled her eyes, sitting back into her computer chair as she secretly tried not to scream from panic. He was breathing heavily now, scared half to death maybe, she presumed.
"So?"
"B-b-b-but, today in school you claimed you were a guy!"
"Acting is fun isn't it?"
"B-but I could have sworn you were--"
"A guy? Yeah, its a hidden talent I have since I live with my dad and grew up with two older brothers." Her older brothers were in American colleges with her mother, who was working there for a business trip. So, Cadence pretty much lacked a strong female role model to keep her in a girly state. Some days she could go for a couple of hours being a girly girl, but right when she'd step in her house with her dad she would become a tomboy and the whole process would start all over again.
Yugi was holding his head up, looking flushed. She quickly got to her feet; helping him sit down on her cloths covered bed. He laid back all spread out thinking.
"But why?" He asked, gripping some golden pyramid that hung around his neck. She shrugged, putting her hands on her hips while she thought of a good explanation for why she decided to be a guy for the first day of school. Sadly, she couldn't quite think of a good one…just yet.
"I was bored." Cadence stated bluntly, handing her headphones and I-pod to Yugi. He looked at her strangely, and then put them on his head but stilled eyed her with confusion. "This out to calm down your thoughts. Now I have to go to the bathroom...sitting down of course." She said laughing as the panic and embarrassment began to fade. He nodded shakily, taking off the headphones once she left the room.
"Wow, never saw that coming...Joey and Tristan must have subconsciously sensed that she was a girl. They would never do that stuff for a guy, right?" Yami sat at the foot of Cadence's bed, putting a finger to his lip. Yugi was gripping his head, blushing madly with embarrassment. Yami laughed at the way Yugi looked.
"Shut up Yami! It's not funny! This is a crisis on our hands! Tea is falling for a girl! I lost to a girl!"
"Wow that is pitiful. You like Tea?" Cadence asked as she stood in the doorway with two sodas in her hands. Yugi sat up quickly, his face turning bright red. She snickered as she sat on her bed, handing him one"Who were you talking to? Your imaginary friend?" She asked sort of mockingly. Yugi's face started to fade in color when he took a sip of his soda.
"Umm, I guess..." Yami was laughing inside trying not to catch Yugi's attention so he wouldn't look at him. Yugi sighed, relaxing more now. Cadence smiled sweetly, taking the remains of his soda when he finished.
"So, tomorrow are you going to dress up like a guy again?" He asked, crossing his legs and gripping is feet. She nodded, and then shrugged.
"Maybe, Maybe not. I could dress as a girl and say I got a sex change. But then the girls would hate me deeply and the guys would be deeply disturbed and or confused. So I guess I have to dress as a guy." She crumpled the soda can on her head, tossing it in the trashcan. Yugi nodded, standing up from her bed. He walked over to the doorway, opening the door and stepping out slightly, looking back at the girl's smiling face.
"Well, bye Yugi, and please let this be our little secret. I don't want to have to kidnap you!"
"Y-yeah..."
"Cool. See you tomorrow shorty!"
