ENJOY


Special #1: "A Lancer New Years Party"

"5!"

Reira scurried down the stairs and hopped up onto the couch, eyes glued to the TV Screen.

"4!"

Serena couldn't hide her excitement as she shoved another handful of popcorn into her mouth

"3!"

Shingo (for once) had a childlike anticipation on his face as he watched the globe.

"2!"

Even Reiji was having trouble hiding the anticipation on his face as he watched.

"1!"

Yuya grinned as the countdown dropped to just a single digit, one number until an entire new year began.

"0!" HAPPY NEW YEARS!"

The room erupted into cheers as the year officially came to a close and a new one began. Yuya looked around with a big smile still plastered on his face. It was nice seeing the Lancers without any arguing for once. With as much of a smile as he'd even shown, Reiji pulled out a bowl of paper slips. At once, Yuya recalled the game they had agreed to play. Everyone had written their New Years Resolution on a slip, and they were going to guess whose it was.

The Lancers gathered around the large round table they usually used for meetings and bingo night. Reiji placed the bowl in the center and took his usual seat at the head of the table. Serena and Tsukikage were serving everyone cake and ice cream. Yuya sat down into his usual spot, and they began.

Reiji extracted the first slip and read it aloud.

"I will avoid carding any Fusion scum"

The whole table rotated to face Shun immediately, who kept a neutral face. That is, until Serena burst into laughter, setting Shun off, who began laughing as well. The edges of Reiji's mouth curved up slightly as he read the next one

"I will be less 'tsundere'"

Immediately, every Lancer looked at Serena, who was still trying not to laugh. Crow broke first, collapsing into a fit of giggles.

"How do you even know what tsundere means?" Yuya asked Serena over Crow's laughter

"Yuzu showed me anime." Serena explained, her cheeks red.

The group quieted down as Reiji read the next slip

"I will strive to make my entertainment as good as Yusho's"

Everyone looked at Yuya, who immediately shook his head. Although there was a brief moment of confusion, Reira got it first when she pointed at Dennis, who admitted to writing it. Yuya gave Dennis a pat on the back as Reiji pulled the next one out.

"I will become just as good as Yuya or Big Brother"

Serena let out a small "Aw…" as Reira seemed to shrink even more into her hoodie. Reiji gave the girl a pat on her shoulder and Yuya smiled warmly. Reira smiled nervously as she clutched her bear tighter to her chest. Reiji pulled the next slip out, still smiling a little.

"I, the New, Ultra, Neo -/—- will surpass Yuya Sakaki!"

Evidently, the person had written their name, and then crossed it out. However, that didn't help much, as every looked over at Shingo, slightly amused. Yuya grinned and Shingo only gave a smirk in response.

"I'll beat you eventually Sakaki!" Shingo smugly said. "You can't be the best forever!"

"We'll see Shingo." Yuya said with a smile. "We'll see."

Reiji smiled as well as he grabbed another paper and read off it.

"I will abolish the barrier between Commons and Tops permanently."

Everyone looked at Crow, who didn't even attempt to deny it.

"It can't last forever." Crow said determinedly. "Without Roget, we might finally have a chance."

Nodding respectfully at Crow's resolution, Reiji read the next.

"I will try to eat less candy…"

Nearly everyone looked at Sora in shock, except for Reiji who was never shocked.

"Less candy?" Shingo gaped.

"You?" Shun asked in disbelief.

"Hey, I said I'd try" Sora said with a smile, emphasizing the "try". "No guarantees. But…yeah, I'm going to try."

Reiji didn't say anything, and moved to the next.

"I will continue to serve everyone to the best of my ability"

No one even had to say anything, since everyone knew it was Tsukikage, without question. Reiji simply moved on.

"I, the man, will keep growing as a duelist."

Yuya smiled and elbowed Gongenzaka, who smiled as well. They both looked back as Reiji read from the next. When Reiji read it, he smiled.

"I will continue to expand my entertainment as a duelist, to forge my own identity."

Yuya blushed as everyone seemed to suddenly look at him, even Shun and Reiji smiling. Serena punched him on the shoulder playfully, and Dennis gave Yuya a firm pat on the shoulder, an action repeated by Gongenzaka. Yuya suddenly realized the jar was empty.

"Hey, what about yours Reiji?" Yuya asked their leader, who had already stood back up. Reiji just gave a smile as he looked over the room, the Lancers all cheerfully talking with one another.

"It already happened." Reiji said with a coy grin before picking up the sleeping Reira and heading up the stairs to Reira's room. Looking over the room, Yuya couldn't help but smile.

It looked like it would be a good year.
