Chapter Three

A day out in Domino

A week passed since Len arrived in Domino and quite a few things has happened since then. Akila was sucessful obtaining a job at Domino museum, finding she feels a lot more comfortable surrounded by history. Lena had introduced Nailah to the gang on the same day she meet them at lunch time and they had hit it of as well. Lena also learned that she got lucky because Nailah had gotten Ms. Chono has her homeroom teacher, leaving her to learn the wrath of the woman, who she understood why Len didn't like her.

"We promise we'll be careful." Nailah promised to her mother as the duo stood at the front door about to leave. They had decided to have a look around the city because they were interested at the places Yugi and the others had suggested them to go. Of course they offered to come with them, but Lena needed to get a couple essentials as well, seeing as she been borrowing Nailah's clothes for a little while, and didn't want to drag the boys in doing that. Of course Tea and Miho would of wanted to go, but they felt that they just wanted to go by themselves.

"Good. Have a good day girls, but the first thing I want you to do is to go to the phone store and get yourself phones." Akila ordered them.

"I understand." Nailah saluted to her mother before she opened the door for her and Lenny.

"Okay do you have any idea where a phone shop would be?" Lena asked her dear friend as they began walking.

"No clue." Nailah stated simply to her and they both grinned at each other.

"Good! It will be our second adventure together! The first being the plane" Lena looked at were they were going. Even though she said it would be an adventure, she didn't feel that safe as she normally would. It was probably due to her having a phone for three years and that if she was in trouble she could call someone, but here she really couldn't do that, well not yet.

After a long time of searching they finally found a shop that sold phones and other electronics. The girls scanned across the phones, and Lena realised that all off the phones around her was old styles of the phones that we had in the past of her world. She expected that they wouldn't have touchscreens, or ones with keyboards on like blackberries, but that didn't stop her from sighing. She was never good with phones that you had to click the button multiple times to get to the letter you need. She knew that she would have to deal with it, and know it couldn't hurt for now. Lena looked over to see a pink flip phone and realised it looked like the one Tea had in battle city before it was broken. She noticed that there was a black version of this phone and decided that she would get that one. Lena didn't really care what features it had on it, she knew she wouldn't be spending much time on her phone except for contacting people. Nailah on the other hand was admiring all the phones. Lena guessed it was possibly because it would be her very first phone and that these were the best phone around at this time.

"Which one should I pick." Nailah awed and Lena shrugged.

"It doesn't really matter all that much, you just need it for contacts, we probably won't use it for anything else." Lena told her.

"But they have games!" Nailah exclaimed at her.

"Yeah, but lets be honest out of all the things we'll be doing here there won't be time for them." Lena explained and Nailah sighed.

"I guess you're right." She agreed.

"Things will change in the future though." Lena leaned towards her. "That when we get touchscreens."

"What really?" Nailah asked shocked.

"Yes, but some break easily and there a lot of money, but you can get contracts and not pay as you go." Lena mentioned.

"Contracts? Pay as you go?" Nailah questioned.

"Pay as you go is when you add credit to your phone, credit being money. Contracts that's where you can have things like unlimited texts and calls as long as you pay a certain amount of money a month. It's a pretty good deal." She lectured her friend. "And if you think this has a lot of games." She pointed to the phone Nailah was looking at. "In the future you can get so much more games, even apps that can customise your phone to make it anything you want. I had a sony xperia T, which I think is a good phone except for the lack of cases, at first I decided to edit it, but then realised it wasn't me. The last time I had the phone I only had changed it's screen saver and background to the pharaoh."

"You know I heard that, but it went straight through my head." Nailah responded and Lena let out of a laugh.

"Don't worry I was rambling at the end." Lena patted her shoulder before she turned around and saw a bunch of cameras. "Ohh" She scanned over them. She smiled softly at them and thought about getting one. She touched the ones on the display, since she had got here at first she was shocked, but due to time she decided that she didn't want to forget any of her memories here. She thought that the best way to capture the memories, was being there and though pictures. She felt her artistic side come out and thought about making a scrapbook out of different pieces of paper that hold her pictures in, and some quotes that inspire her. In a way she would make her scrapbook into her journal and in the future she could look back at it, and feel nostalgic.

"Ooh, what'cha you looking at?" Nailah looked over Lena shoulder.

"Cameras." Lena spoke simply.

"Ooh, you gonna get one?" She asked and Lena began to nod.

"Yeah I think so, did you decide on a phone." Lena looked her shoulder.

"Yeah I did and cool we could take the first picture together." She grinned and the brunette smiled back at her. Len nodded again. "Come on then lets go buy them then!"

They soon brought the electronics they needed and began to walk casually down the street. While walking Lena was reading the information needed for the camera. Lena really wanted to see how it worked and if she did buy a camera that had good quality.

"Okay! I think I got it." Lena broke the silence they had.

"Really cool! come on, Len, take a picture of us." Nailah stopped causing the brunette to stop and laugh.

"Okay, okay" She grinned at her friend and they began to pose for a picture. Nailah was leaning behind her. Each had a smile on their face. The picture was soon taken.

"Yes my first picture!" Lena exclaimed happily, she really wanted to remember the memories even if it was a simple day.

"Awesome can I have a go?" Nailah asked and Lena held the camera close to her heart, like a child stubbornly and said no. "Aww but why?" The blonde whined.

"Because this camera is now close to my heart and I don't want anyone else to touch it." Lena explained like a little kid.

"But I won't break it, you know and I am your friend." Nailah continued.

"Yes, but I only just got it." Lena pointed out and looked to Nailah, who had a puppy dog look on her face. The girl sighed. Normally she wouldn't be moved to feeling guilty when they gave a puppy dog look, but with Nailah did it, it was like she was a pro. "Maybe later." Lena reluctantly reasoned.

"But why not now?" The blonde questioned.

"Because we already took a picture here." Lena stated and began to walk away.

Lena and Nailah spent the day going into clothes shops, so that they can get clothes suitable for the weather in Japan. After a while of clothes shopping the teenagers decided to go and find somewhere to eat.

"What about there?" Nailah pointed at a general directions and Lena looked over to where she was pointing. She recognised the place she was pointing to. "I heard someone from school the other day that said it had only recently opened. Why don't we try it out?"

"If you want to go to a place run by a criminal, sure." Lena stated as she stared straight ahead at Burger World.

"What do you mean?" Nailah questioned.

"That place, Burger World is run by a criminal, or at least he is like a manager or something along those lines." Len began to speak seriously. "If what you said is true and that it was only just recently opened, I know which episode is next."

"What you mean Yugi has something to do with that criminal?" Nailah guessed.

"Not really he was just there at that time, the Pharaoh set the bad guy on fire." She explained before walking away. "And I would prefer to go somewhere else. I'm not in the mood for burgers."

"Oh Okay. What are you in the mood for?" Nailah questioned.

"Pizza." Len smiled at her. "Come on."

After the two ate they decided to look around some more before heading home, because they thought that it was always good to learn they way around the city more. As they walked along the streets of different shops, they noticed a certain shop, that made Lena smile.

"Did you know Kame means turtle." Lena spoke useless trivia.

"No I did not." Nailah nodded. "Are we going to have a look inside?"

"Of course I have always wanted to see the inside in person."

"What you heard of this shop before?" Nailah wondered.

"Of course, Yugi's Grandpa owns the shop and they live right above it." Lena pointed to the upper part of the building. Lena then began walking to the door that said open. "You coming?"

"Yeah." The blonde agreed running to catch up with her.

As they entered the store it was dimly lit, like it was in season 0. There were all sort of board games on selves and Lena was in awe. The female stopped and slowly place her hands on one of the games.

"Welcome!" They heard a voice, making them jump. They turned around to see Yugi's grandpa standing behind the desk facing them and the door.

"Hello" The brunette grinned at the old man in front of her.

"Oh! Hello." They greeted heading over to him.

"Is there anything you were particularly looking for?" He grinned happily at us, but we shook our heads.

"No, not really we've just moved here a week ago and decided to have a look around town, which led us here." Lena began to walk over to him. "It's a lovely shop you have here, this is the first shop I have been in that focuses mostly on games."

"Yeah I agree." Nailah followed her.

"Oh really? and thank you." He thanked us.

"Yeah, we both lived in small towns that didn't really have many shops in." Nailah explained.

"Which is really sad because I like the choice to go into multiple shops." Lena sighed, but then grinned. "My name is Lena Ford and this is my friend Nailah Hasina."

"Yep that's my name." Nailah grinned happily.

"It's nice to meet you Lena, Nailah. I am Solomon Motou" He introduced himself to us.

"Likewise." Nailah agreed.

"So I am guessing you have mostly every type of board game here?" I asked him. Solomon nodded.

"Are you a fan of board games?" He asked me.

"Well in a way. I always wanted to play them and always enjoyed them, but no one in my family ever wanted to. Funny thing though was that we had a bunch of games. We had this game called Kofu the Mummy we only really planned it once, but I always wanted to play it again" Lena explained.

"Oh I see." Solomon nodded.

"Well we could always get some and play together with mother." Nailah directed to Lena before looking back at Yugi's grandpa. "Do you have any suggestions on games?" The blonde questioned.

For a while they ended up talking about all sorts of games they could get and what they were interested in. They didn't really have a budget, well Lena didn't anyway and they were plan to take a taxi home. Nailah and Lena then decided then and there this would be their last stop. While Yugi's grandpa went to get a board game they liked sound of, they heard the door bell chime, meaning someone entered.

"Grandpa, I'm home." The girls heard as they turned to notice that Yugi was the one who walked in. Yugi stopped walking when he saw us, standing by the counter, with several board games on the desk.

"Hi." Len and Nailah waved to him normally, not surprised that he was here. He smiled at them and ran closer over to the girls.

"Hey Lena, Hey Nailah." He beamed at us happily. "What are you doing here?"

"Well, it seems were casually buying everything in this game shop." Lena joked signalling to all the board games on the desk.

"Yeah, Lena and I decided that we will get some board games for our home seeing as we don't have any." Nailah explained more. "What brings you here Yug?" Even though she knew, it would be weird if he found that out.

"Oh really!?" The girls couldn't help but smile at Yugi. Lena always like Yugi he was one of a her favourite characters and thought of him so sweet and cute. Nailah even though she only just met him a week ago thought he was super adorable and would be a very valuable friend to have. "That's cool to hear and I live here."

"Oh! I should have guessed you're Mr Motou's grandson, you have the same last name!" Nailah raise her finger in the air as she faked her realisation of the names.

"I guessing you know my grandpa then." Yugi pointed out.

"Well we have been here for at least an hour." Nailah explained.

"What really? That long?" He questioned.

"We are very serious about games." Lena joked happily.

"Hey Yugi what's one of your favourite games?" Nail asked.

"Oh! That would have to be duel monsters!" He answered.

"Oh duel monsters! I've heard of that." The blonde claimed.

"Of course you would. It's one of the top games like Capsule monsters right? Yugi?" Lena looked at him from Nailah to him and he nodded.

"Yeah, have you played?" He asked curiously.

"Duel monsters yes, Capsule monsters no" Lena explained. "I am guessing you played both?" He nodded again.

"Well I haven't even played any of them." Nailah pointed out.

"You should it's fun, but I always lose, which is upsetting because I believe in the heart of the cards, but they don't believed in me." Lena jokingly cried.

"That's what my grandpa always told me to do! Always believe in the heart of the cards. You were told that to?" Yugi grinned and Lena nodded.

"Yeah, in a way I was, I was told that by two people close to my heart." She softly smiled at him. Of course she was talking about him and the Pharaoh. "But like I said I believe in them, but I don't think they believe in me."

"Oh I'm sure that's not true." Yugi reassured her. He might be right though seeing as when she believed, she was in the other world and not here. It might change now.

"I am completely lost right now." Nailah stated getting Lena and Yugi's attention.

"It's something to do with duel monsters, or any game for that matter, but for duel monsters it's when you have belief and faith in all the cards in your deck, and believe that they give you a card that will help you through a tough situation in your duel." Lena explained to Nailah and Yugi nodded.

"Wow that's powerful, I mean giving your trust into a deck." Nailah awed at the two people in front of her.

"It is powerful." Lena leaned on the counter, before asking Yugi. "Hey Yugi does your grandpa sell cards here?" She knew he did, but still wanted to ask.

"Yeah" He grinned and went behind the counter to show them.

"Cool" The brunette grinned and then looked at her dear female friend. "Do you want to learn how to play. I'll buy you cards because I need to buy cards myself. Yugi you can help her to can you? I have a feeling you must be a really great duelist."

"I don't think I am that great." Yugi rubbed his head with his hand. "But I'm sure I can help teach you, Nailah."

"Really, how difficult is it to learn?" She questioned.

"Not difficult at all." Lena answered.

"And it is fun." Yugi added.

"Well sure, okay then." Nailah agreed and then we saw Solomon come back through with a game.

"Sorry I took a while, it wasn't where I thought it was." He smiled. "Oh do you know my grandson?" He wondered out loud.

"Yeah we do and it's okay, we have all the time in the world." Lena grinned happily to the old man.

Lena and Nailah soon brought all the board games they wanted, as well as the duel monster starter decks, and booster packs. After purchasing Yugi asked if they want to stay around awhile longer so they could help Nailah make a deck, and play the game. They had to phone Akila first, but she was fine about it and they agreed. At first they started teaching Nailah the basics of the game, by Yugi and Lena having a duel and explaining through playing. Lena had to use a starter deck though because she didn't have a customized deck. After teaching the basics to the blonde soon had a go. While learning Nailah had grown to enjoy playing the game. They played and also made decks till it was slowly going dark. With Yugi not only helping Nailah, but also helping Lena make a deck as well because she always said how bad at making them she was. They decided it was best for them to go, but it was sad to leave because they had a blast hanging out with Yugi, Lena especially. She hadn't had this much fun playing Yugioh in ages, even though she didn't have a deck she used back home, she had fun using and creating a new deck.
