"Ashley!" Yugi yells when he sees me, I then run over to them to greet them.
"Where'd ya go Ash, Yugi said ya'd disappeared during the night," Ash is Joey's nickname for me, I find it adorable that he's already given me one.
"Sorry, I had seen someone in the game shop and followed them into town, but then I lost him and didn't know where I was," I explained.
"Well the important thing is that you're safe," Yugi says, "by the way why were you dueling Rex and Weevil?"
"To get these back," I say, holding up dark magician and red eyes.
"How'd they get their grimy hands on these," Joey says while they take their cards back.
"They stole them," I say blatantly. Yugi then decides to chime in again, "I didn't know you were a duelist Ashley," he says.
"Oops I guess I forgot, by the way how did you guys find me," I ask.
"We saw you on the news, you did challenge the regional champs," Tea says.
My stomach then rumbles, interrupting our conversation, "Oops, I haven't had anything to eat since yesterday morning," I say.
"Let's go back to the game shop, I'm sure grandpa has some food there," Yugi says.
With that we set off, I then hear "good job dueling those two," the voice says.
"Thanks," I think back, "hey what should I call you," I ask.
"I don't know, what do you want to call me," she asks.
"Hmmm, how about Amira," I ask.
"I like it but why," she answers.
"It means princess in egyptian, and I think that mystery caller meant you when he talked about the lost princess," I answer.
Suddenly a familiar dizziness comes over me and I black out, I open my eyes to find myself in a room that looks egyptian. In the room I see a very young looking Yami, probably about nine, a girl that looked like a younger version of me in egyptian clothes then runs in. "Atem, Atem!" She yells happily practically bouncing over to him.
"Amira you know you can't call me that," he says softly.
"I know, but look at what I made," she says holding up one of those crystalline flowers. "I call it a echo flower, and it'll record moments in time and replay them."
Yami then grows a big smile on his face, "can I see how it works?"
"Sure, it's actually recording right now," Amira says, tapping the flower making it close. She then proceeds to tap it again making it unfold, but this time what looks like glitter comes out of the flower and swirls around creating an almost perfect image of Yami and herself, which act out the scene in perfect detail. When it finishes, the glitter swirls around the room and back into the flower.
"I'm thinking of submitting it to the magic council, what do you think," she says more shyly.
"I think it's perfect," he says confidently. I suddenly sense someone behind me, so I turn around to see my Amira tearing up. I walk over and put my hand on her shoulder to comfort her, she looks up at me and smiles.
Suddenly the scene ends and I jolt upwards to find myself in the bed of Yugi's guest room, "Amira you saw that right," I ask her.
"Yeah, I think that was one of my missing memories," she says back.
"What was your first clue," I think sarcastically, "the younger version of you, or Yami being there?"
"Ha ha, very funny." She sticks her tongue out at me.
"Hey, wait a second! If you knew his name and could go into his room whenever you wanted, then doesn't that make you his sister?!" I begin to wonder about how that's possible and why she wouldn't have been in the show.
"Heh, guess it does, now let's see what happened, you did pass out ya know," she says.
"ok," I reply while walking out of the room. Once I'm out I start to wander around, eventually I find Yugi and Joey in the shop talking about something.
I decide to eavesdrop and hear, "so Joey what do you think of that call, do you think that Ashley is keeping something from us?"
"I don't know Yug, but everyone has secrets."
"I know but it seems more important than that, do you think it could have something to do with the pharaoh's past?"
"Well I think that we should go with innocent until proven guilty, don't you? Besides, from what you told me the pharaoh gaining certain memories before a certain time can be pretty bad."
"Yeah, you're probably right."
I walk into the room stretching like I just got here and say, "Hey guys what's up?" "Nothin, how are ya feelin Ash," Joey asks me.
"Fine, I guess my first duel with a duel disc took a bigger toll on me than I thought," I lie.
"Hey wait where did you get a duel disk anyway," Yugi asks.
"Oh I met this kid who had it, but it was broken so he was gonna throw it out but I stopped him and fixed it so he gave it to me," I explain.
"Well now that you have one, we can duel," Joey says.
"Well, I'm kinda looking for a challenge Joey," I say jokingly. He then proceeds to go on a rant about how he placed second in duelist kingdom and was a finalist in the battle city tournament while I hold in giggles. When he finishes I say, "I was kidding Joey a duel would be fun, but I have to warn you that my friends back home call me the queen of games."
"Oooh, challenge accepted," Joey says.
"Joey we have to get to school," Yugi chimes in.
"Oh yeah I guess you're safe for now," Joey says, which makes me chuckle.
"Oh by the way Ashley I got you a map of domino so you don't get lost again," Yugi adds pulling it out of his pocket.
"Thanks Yugi," I say taking it. With that they leave me alone in the shop.
