Joey finds out

Yugi walked downstairs and let Joey in the house. Joey looked really hyper when he came round the house. Yugi's grandpa came in the room and took Yugi out to have a word with him. Joey followed only to eaves drop in the conversation. Yugi and his grandpa were sitting at a table when he over heard the words "Happy birthday Yugi" Joey then looked surprised that he did not know when it was Yugi's birthday. Joey then took out his phone and texted everyone that knew Yugi and was his friend. He texted them saying it was Yugi's birthday. Tea, Tristan and Bakura all sent back to reply to the text Joey sent "We will be waiting for you near the pond" They all arranged to go there. Yugi came out the room and told Joey that he was sorry but he was going to bed. Joey looked confused as he saw Yugi go to his bedroom and closed the door.

"You must not be too hard on Yugi for this day and maybe the next day." Yugi's grandpa said to Joey as he looked confused. Joey looked at him and then back up at Yugi's room. Joey then looked confused at him and then looked at the calendar only to see the day crossed out.

"How come this day has been crossed out and no other days?" Joey asked as he started walking to the calendar but then Yugi's grandpa walked into another room and sat down at the table. He signalled Joey into the room and to the seat next to him.

"It happened 13 years ago. This was when Yugi's birthday came round at the same time his parents left him. His parents brought Yugi to me and took Yugi around the shop to have a look around. I did not expect them to leave Yugi in my care until 3 weeks later his parents told me they were leaving Yugi in my care. Yugi was still asleep when I was told the news. The day after they told me they did not even say good bye to Yugi and they just left. I bet they just told Yugi that he will be staying here for a couple of days but they never came back. Yugi waited for his parents to come back but they never did. Yugi spent the next 2 years trying to find them but I could not let him out and I got him onto the Duel Monster game he is playing now. Even since now he has waited for his parents to come back every year. I don't think he even believes that they care about him anymore because he does not even get a card from them. The last time he received a card from them was when he was 3. He always treasured that card but even now he wants to meet up with his parents again just to see them." Yugi's Grandpa told Joey. Joey looked stunned from what he has heard and then got up.

"There has got to be something we can do?" Joey asked to see if there was anything he can do to help on this day. "There just has to be. Is this why he just copied out the book today and why he never enjoys this day only?" Joey asked in confusion to what has happened.

"Yugi always locks himself in his room on this day and never comes out to play with anyone or anything and he hardly has anything to eat as well." Yugi's grandpa told Joey.
