Chapter 9: Moving Forward

Time: 8:02

Date: Friday, April 9th 1998

Location: Loews Theater

YOUR POV…

You were so happy. Not only did you have a date with Yugi and Yami, but your step father had actually agreed to let you see him, however that might have been because he was engrossed in his magazine. You didn't want to think about what was waiting for you at home. Soon Yugi appeared. "Hey Yugi!" you said.

"Hi Amy!" he said gasping for air. Once he caught his breath you bought the popcorn, he bought the tickets and you entered theater 9.

When you left the theater Yugi started talking to you. He finally asked you a very interesting question. "Er, Amy, Yami and I were wondering if you'd like…"

"Yes?" you egged him on. You knew what he was going to ask, and you were busting with happiness.

"We wanted to know if you'd like to keep on going out with both of us." You were puzzled.

"What do you mean? How can I date both you and Yami?"

"Well Yami said that he would be happy to share you until you chose one of us. Er- if you want to, I mean." You were shocked. But, you recovered from it and your insticts took control. You kissed him. You kissed him full on the lips. It was a sweet, loving kiss.

"I love you." you whispered to him. It was heaven. Just you and the two men you loved. When you went home, you didn't even mind when Dustin beat you like a dog for going AWOL.You were shell-shocked by love. In fact, if you were blown up with an H-bomb, you probably wouldn't have noticed.

YAMI'S POV…

As you sat in the Millennium Puzzle waiting for Amy, you were deep in thought. This happened often since you never came out during school, unless you had to, or at lunch. You were thinking about the future and you were troubled. You knew that one day you would have to save the world and leave, but at what cost? You'd have to leave Yugi, Tea, Tristan, Joey and most of all, Amy. You would live in the Afterlife, doomed to an eternity of solitude and seclusion.

On the one hand you could stay and do nothing, but the world, including Amy, would be destroyed. On the other hand, you could leave and never see them again, only being comforted by the thought that they were alive and well, but you wouldn't be able to enjoy that. You would have prolonged this fierce mental battle for hours, however, Amy arrived. Yugi had asked her if she wanted the gang to know, and she said yes, as long as she was there. Reluctantly, you left the Puzzle and went out in spirit form.

YOUR POV…

Yesterday, on your way home, you and Yugi came to an agreement. He hated secrets, so you decide to tell the gang that you were dating. You were so happy. For the first time since the fire, you felt loved. Before you reached the typical lunch bench, Yami came up to you in spirit form. You had seen him do that before. "What's up Yami?" you asked.

"Nothing much. Does a guy need an excuse to talk to his girlfriend?"

"True. When do you want to go out again?" you asked, looking forward to it.

"I don't know. Probably a restaurant. Nothing too formal."

"Good. How's Yugi doing?" you asked.

"He's fine. He wanted to talk to Tea alone for a minute, so I decided I'd see you."

MEANWHILE…

YUGI'S POV…

"Hey Tea." you said to your friend.

"What is it Yugi? Something wrong?" she asked.

"No, on the contrary! I've got some great news!" you said, getting more excited by the second.

"What?! What?!" she said, also getting excited.

"I took your advice! I went out on a date with Amy!"

"YES! Did you tell her how you felt?" you said pretending. You weren't really happy. In fact you felt like your insides were on fire.

"Did I? She told me that she felt the same way!"

"Alright Yugi!" she said with an smirk.

"There's just one little problem." Tea did an anime fall.

"W-what is it?" she asked.

"Well, she said that also felt the same way about Yami. Now we both have to date her equally until she picks one of us." you said sadly.

"Hoo boy… a love triangle… that's not good."

"I know. What do you suggest?" he asked.

"I… I dunno…" she said sadly. Although you had told her that Yami liked Amy too, she didn't think that a girl, besides you, could fall in love with a 5000-year-old Pharaoh. It tore her apart inside until finally, she said to you, "I-I'll think about it…?"

Location: The Millennium Puzzle (Pharaoh's Court)

YUGI'S POV…

You were in the puzzle looking for the Pharaoh. You didn't want to do this, but it looked like the only way. Jealousy was burning in you like fire, and you refueled it. "Pharaoh! Come on out! I know you're hiding somewhere in here!" you said, anger rising by the second.

"What's the matter Yugi?" said Yami, who suddenly appeared from one of the doors. "What is it?" he said.

"I'll tell you what it is! We can't keep dating the same girl! Something's got to give, and it's not gonna be me! Get your dueldisc Yami, because it's time to duel!" Yami looked stunned.
