This chapter is a re-write!

-Later that night-

Victoria was just laying there on her bed in her's and Lily's room. She keeped thinking about him, so much that she couldn't sleep. She had tried to stop him so she could talk to him, but by the time she caught up, he was already in his room so she just went to her's.

'I still can't believe that I didn't see that! It was so obvious!' Victoria thought. 'That's exactly how it happened on Duel Monster's Spirit Day.'

-Flashback-

(a.n. Before I go on... let me just say that... they (or we) were at Duel Academy for Duel Monster's Spirit Day! And in our version of the episode... all duel monsters came to life! So it was a one big party! YAY! ...Sorry!)

Victoria was sitting on a log, alone, when her duel spirit, Amazoness Tiger, came up and sat down next to her.

(a.n. We also cut Tania completely out of the show! Made no real point... other than making Bastion love-struck! So Victoria owns Amazoness Tiger... as well as several Egyption cards! Plus... Victoria speaks for Bastion and she said she wanted her out! So there's nothin' we can do. ...Sorry... onto the story!)

"What do you think, Amazoness? Do you think I should just forget about that guy and move on?" Victoria asked, and her tiger shook her head 'no'. "Then what should I do?" She asked. Then out of nowhere, Amazoness made it so that Victoria was on her back. "Where are you taking me?" She asked as Amazoness started to run off with Victoria still on her back.

"Hey Victoria! Where are you going?" Lily asked when she saw Victoria leaving.

"I don't know!" She yelled back. Then Amanda grabbed Lily's wrist and they both climbed on Fox Fire's back before running off after Amazoness and Victoria. (note: Fox Fire is Amanda's duel spirit! another note: Fox Fire can increase in size!)

-With Victoria and Amazoness-

Amazoness led Victoria to the beach behind the bushes so Dark Magician didn't see them yet. Victoria got off Amazoness and went into the clearing right when Amanda and Lily came through the bushes with Fox Fire. Once Amazoness saw Fox Fire she growled, but Fox Fire just growled back at her.

"Play nice you two." Amanda said, warningly. So they stopped.

(another note: Duel spirits take after their owners and since Victoria and Amanda are rivals as well as friends (just like Bastion and Jaden) Amazoness and Fox Fire can get pretty competitive with each other!)

Then Lily and Amanda began spying on Victoria's conversation.

"Hi." Victoria said as she approached Dark Magician. He turned around, and smiled when he saw her.

"Hi." He greeted back.

"Do you mind if I ask you a question?"

"No. Go ahead."

"Well... it's just that... you're so much like Dark Magician... it's almost as if-"

"I am Dark Magician?" He finished for her.

"Well... yeah."

"You're pretty smart."

"You mean... I was right?"

"Yep."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Victoria said as she ran up and hugged him, making him almost loose his balance.

"Because I knew this would happen." He said, and she quickly pulled away from him, blushing.

"I'm sorry."

"No. I was talking about other girls doing that. I don't mind if you do it. I like you."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"So... can I hug you again?" She asked as her blush deepened which caused him to chuckle.

"Of course." He said, and she didn't waste anytime on going up to hug him again. "You are so cute." He said, then leaned down a little to gently place a kiss on her cheek.

-End Flashback-

'That's it! I can't take this anymore! I need to talk to somebody about this! But who? Who?!' She said, then looked over and saw Lily sleeping in her bed. 'Duh!' She said to herself before getting up and going over to Lily's bed to wake her up.

"Lil! Lil! Wake up, sleeping beauty. I need to talk to you." She said, and Lily opened one eye.

"What?" Lily whispered, a little angry about being woken up in the middle of the night.

"I need to talk to you." Victoria said. So Lily sat up while yawning then looked at Victoria.

"What is it?"

"You know that magician?"

"You mean the one you invited here even though this isn't even your house?"

"...Moving on." Victoria stated. "And yes... I was talking about that one."

"What about him?"

"Promise you won't laugh."

"Yeah, I promise."

"He's... Dark Magician."

"Uh, Victoria... did that whole "relationship-between-Jaden-and-Bastion" thing get to your head, or something?"

"No... I'm being serious here." Victoria said, and Lily raised an eyebrow. "Seriously." Victoria said, and Lily knew that she really was being serious. If it was a joke, Victoria would of started laughing by now.

"Okay, okay. I believe you." Lily said, and Victoria hugged her.

"Thanks, Aniki! You're the best!"

"What did you just call me?"

"Aniki!" Victoria said, happily when they pulled away from the hug. "You're gonna be my 'Aniki' from now on. You're probably the closest friend I've ever had." She said, and Lily smiled.

"Thanks. I'd be glad to be your Aniki."

"We should probably get some rest now, huh, Aniki?"

"Yep." Lily said, happily. Then they hugged one more time before Victoria went back to her bed and they fell asleep.

-The next morning-

Lily wolk up to see Victoria running around the room. She went to the mirror, put her hair up, ran into the bathroom, then came back out a couple minutes later.

"So... how do I look, Aniki?" Victoria asked when she noticed that Lily was awake. She was wearing a t-shirt that was army colored, an army colored bandana, teal blue shorts, with red and white sneakers.

"You look good, but what's the occasion?"

"No occasion, but I just want to look good because I'm about to go talk to him."

"Oh, you mean D.M."

"D.M.?"

"Dark Magician."

"Oh... yeah. Him."

"Well... good luck." Lily said, then laid back down.

"You're not coming?"

"Why should I? This is between you and him and I don't wanna get involved."

"Good."

"Huh?"

"That's exactly the answer I was looking for. A true friend would say something like that."

"Then go and talk to him. What are you waiting for?" Lily said. Then Victoria hugged her before running out of the room. "I knew I always liked her." Lily said to herself, then closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

-With Victoria-

She was standing in front of his room and was starting to second guess if she should go and talk to him, or not.

'What if something happens and he doesn't want to see me anymore. Well... I better go and talk to him. It's now or never.' Victoria thought. Then she gently lifted her hand up and knocked on the door. The door quickly opened and he was standing there.

"Oh... hi, Victoria. Something wrong?"

"I want to talk to you."

"Come in." He said. So she went into the room and he closed the door behind her. "So... what is it you wanna talk about?" He asked as he took a seat next to her on the bed.

"I want to ask you something."

"Okay. What is it?"

"I know it's gonna sound freaky and... sorta impossible. Now don't freak, but... me and Lily think that you're... well... we think that you're Dark Magician." She said, saying the last part quickly. He just sat there, looking at her before he smiled and said something.

"Wow! You're smarter then I ever thought! And you were pretty smart to begin with!"

"I was right again?"

"Yep." He said with a nod. "And if you don't believe me then I'll have to prove it to you."

"I do believe you, but humor me anyways." She said, and he stood up and tried to find his staff.

"Where did I put that thing?" He asked, then thought of something. "Oh, I remember... I put it away." He said. Then made a movement with his arm and his staff appeared.

"Okay, okay. I believe you." She said as she stood up from the bed.

"Really? Are you sure you don't want me to change you into an Egyptian dance girl?"

"Egyptian dance girl? How do you do that?"

"Like this." He said as made a tap with his wand and her clothes changed. She was now wearing one of those tops that looked like a bra with strings coming down from it and a skirt that went a little above her knees. "You look good."

"Ah!" She said as he covered her now somewhat visible stomach. "Change me back into my normal clothes!"

"As you wish." He said as he tapped his staff again and she went back to what she was wearing before. "Are you afraid to show a little skin?"

"Only when I'm locked up in a room alone with a guy that's not my brother."

"So you feel fine showing skin around your brother?"

"Yeah. He's my brother and I know that nothing could ever happen. Besides, he's gay."

"Uh-huh?"

"What? That's the truth."

"I never said you were lying." He said, then stretched.

"Hey..."

"Yeah?"

"Um... we're going out, right? After all, we did kiss last night."

"Of course. I mean... if you want to."

"Well... of course I want to."

"Then I guess that means we're going out." He said with a smile, then went over and kissed her gently.

-That night-

Jazzmine and Kiaba had said that they were going out and told everyone not to wait up for them. Right now, everyone was in the livingroom (a very big livingroom) talking.

"I'm hungry." Jaden said out of the blue.

"Jaden... is there ever a time when you're not hungry?" Lily asked.

"Well... no, but-"

"I'll make something for us to eat if anyone else is hungry." Ryou said.

"You can cook?" Amanda asked.

"Yeah. I'm pretty good." He said. "Not to blow my own horn or anything."

"That's so cool." Amanda said. "I've never met a guy who can cook. That's got to be the coolest thing I've ever heard." She said, and he blushed.

"Um... thanks."

"I got a question, Ryou. Since when do you blush?" Yugi asked.

"Shut up." Ryou said, then stood up. "I'll be back." He said, then excused himself from the room.

"I'll go with you... to see if you need any help." Amanda said as she followed him into the kitchen.

-In the kitchen-

Amanda went into the kitchen and saw Ryou take out some eggs and put them on the counter. Then take out a pan and put it on the stove.

"Hi." She said, and Ryou turned around with a smile.

"Hi." He replied.

"So... what are you making? I'm starved." She asked as she walked up to him at the stove.

"Omlets."

"With cheese?"

"Lots of cheese."

"Sounds yummy." She said with a smile and he couldn't help but smile back.

"They're my specialty." Ryou said, and her smile widened. "Aren't you gonna go back into the livingroom?" He asked, and she all of a sudden looked sad.

"Why? You don't want me to be in here?"

"No. I didn't mean it that way. I was just wondering whether you were or not. But since you're not... do you mind helping me? An artist never know when he might need help with his masterpiece." Ryou said with a fake french accent which caused Amanda to giggle.

"You're cute." She said, and he blushed.

"T-thanks." Ryou muttered, then cleared his throut. "So... Do you wanna help, or not?"

"Absolutely!"

"Okay. Then would you mind handing me a couple eggs?" He asked. So Amanda did what she was told and handed him two eggs. "Thank you." He said then cracked both eggs with one hand and they fell in the pan without any shells to join them.

"How did you do that?" Amanda asked.

"Years of practice." Was Ryou's only reply.

-About 20 minutes later-

Ryou and Amanda came in with everyone's plates and gave everyone their food.

"Looks good." Lily said, then took a bite out of it. "It is good."

"Of course it is." Amanda said. "Ryou is the one that cooked it after all." She said, and he blushed again.

"Is it just my imagination or do you tend to blush everytime Amanda complements you?" Victoria asked with an inward smirk.

"Oh, shut up." Ryou said, and Victoria couldn't help but giggle.

-Later that night with Lily (me)-

Lily was by the hot tub and had her feet in the water when all of a sudden the door opened and Bastion walked into the room.

"Oh, forgive me. I did not mean to interrupt." Bastion said, and Lily shook her head.

"Oh no, no, no, no. It's okay. You can come in and enjoy it too if you want." Lily said.

"Well... if you insist." Bastion said, then walked over to Lily and sat next to her, putting his feet in the water too. "So... what are you doing?"

"Sitting here. Thinking."

"About what?"

"A bunch of stuff."

"About me and Jaden I'm guessing, right?"

"A little."

"I guess the news of that came as a bit of a shock, huh?"

"Yeah."

"I'm sorry that we didn't tell you, but we thought we would be ruining you guys if we did so we kept it a secret."

"From us. Not from anyone else."

"What are you talking about?"

"Amanda's the one who told us about it, you know? How did she find out?"

"She must of just guessed because we agreed to not tell anyone."

"You did?" Lily asked, sweatdropping.

"Yeah."

"Oh, I thought that you guys were just keeping it from us." Lily said. "I have a question for you, Bastion." She said after a couple minutes of silence.

"Yeah?"

"Do you love him?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well... I know that Jaden is my older brother, but I still feel that it's my responsablity to look out for him. So... do you love him?" Lily asked, and anyone could tell that she was being serious.

"I do... very much."

"Good... because so do I." She said.

"You mean that, Lily?" Someone said from the doorway, and both Bastion and Lily looked up to see Jaden walking up to them. "Because Bastion loves me for who I am. Not for who he wants me to be... or wishes I were."

"I guess I deserved that." Lily said.

"I guess you did."

"Well, Jay, this is very hard for me. I still can't say that I understand... what you're doing. But I'm willing to accept... your decision to do it." She said.

"Are you saying that you're ready to have Bastion be a part of our family?" Jaden asked, and Lily thought for a second before answering.

"I guess I am." She said, and they all got into a group hug.

----------

The last part of this story I came up with because when my brother actually started dating my best friend's brother, (who's actual name is Bastion) we had a converstion simliar to that one! And in case you're wondering... my brother's name is Jason! I know, I know... Jason is just two letters away from Jaden! Bastion and Jason are broken up at the moment, but I wrote the last part in hopes that they will get back together... and soon!

Since I'm re-writing this anyway... BASTION AND JASON ARE BACK TOGETHER AGAIN!

Anyways... enough talk about me and my family life! REVIEWS PLEASE!
