"Shipping Back"

"Homecoming"

It's been a few months since Yugi's accident in Iraq, and now it's time for him to get back to his station. Grandpa drove all the kids to the air port to say their goodbyes to Yugi once again. Yugi had been at the air port for a few hours with his chief, filling out paper work and talking about where he'll be when he gets back.

As the gang looked around for Yugi, they saw two men in ACUs salute each other and walk away they recognized one of the soldiers to be just the guy they were looking for, "Yugi!" everyone yelled in unison. Yugi turned and smiled, "Hey guys, what are you doing here?" Tea smiled, "What do you think were doing here? We came to see you off...again." Joey finished with a, "Duh…" Grandpa walked up and patted yugi on the back come on, your plane doesn't leave for another hour and a half, we can walk over and get some pizza if you'd like." Everyone agreed and walked across the street to the pizzeria.

Yugi sat next to Serenity, they've been dating since their date night and they both have never been happier. They all talked, laughed, and grandpa told embarrassing stories about Yugi from when he was little. Soon, their hour and a half was up and Yugi had to get on his plane. He firmly hugged Serenity and whispered sweet things to her in her ear to make her feel better. He hugged everyone and away he went. "Bye everyone, I love you guys…" Yugi successfully held tears back in his eyes but they were there as everyone else let theirs flow. "Bye Yug, We're gunna miss ya man…" Joey said wiping his eyes. "I'm going t miss you all to, but don't worry, I'll be coming back soon. Bye guys." Yugi turned to get on his plane with a few other soldiers. Grandpa waved and yelled, "Don't forget to send us more videos!" Yugi smiled and rolled his eyes as he held up his hand giving a thumbs up.

Yugi's Chief rested a hand on Yugi's shoulder and said, "I can tell your truly loved here. Ill make sure you'll make it home safely." Yugi gave his chief a nod as he looked back to wave at his friends and grandfather.

As the gang made it back to inner Domino, Serenity and Tea went off to have some girl time out on the town, as Joey and Tristan stayed with Yugi's grandpa.

"So, Serenity…how are you and Yugi getting along?" Tea asked with a smile, Serenity smiled back, "Were doing great, he's probably the best guy I've ever met! But…" Tea's face turned serious, "but what?" Serenity sighed, I hate him being gone for so long and so far away." Tea looked at the sky, "I can understand that, Yugi did a courageous thing for us and if you two go as far as getting married, I believe Yugi would be a great provider for you." Serenity smiled at Tea's words, "Thanks Tea!" Serenity smiled, Tea asked, "Are you willing to marry into the Army?" Serenity thought for a second, "Yes, of course I would, it would be hard when hes gone, but I have my family and you guys right?" Tea smiled and nodded, "That's right, come on, let's go get something to eat!"

At the game shop, Joey and Tristan began rooting through some of Grandpa's photo albums, "HEY whoa, whoa!" Joey stopped and asked as he pointed to a young pregnant woman standing next to a taller man with hair like yugi's as a 5 year old Yugi stood reaching up to hug his mothers belly with a large innocent smile n his face. "Is that Yugi's parents?" Asking an obvious question, Grandpa smiled sadly, "Yes, that's Naomi and Hiroku, Yugi's parents." Tristan pointed to Naomi, "But shes pregnant, I thought Yugi was an only child." Grandpa looked at the picture longing to see his family again, "Well, he almost had a little sister.." Joey and Tristan both asked, "Almost?" Grandpa sighed, "When Yugi was 5, a few weeks after this photo was taken, they were on their way to visit me, and they were in a car accident, Yugi's father died before he got to the hospital, and neither Naomi nor the baby made it, making Yugi the only survivor." Joey and Tristan were shocked, "Yugi never told us that…" Tristan stated sadly, "He doesn't talk about his parents to anyone; he hardly talks to me about them."They look very happy." Joey stated. Grandpa nodded handing the album back to the boys, "They were all very happy…who wants a snack!" Grandpa asked changing the subject, Joey and Tristan followed Gramps into the kitchen.

Serenity and Tea were eating at Subway, they talked about boys and other girls at school who got on their nerves, until Serenity changed the subject. "Tea, I have to tell you something…" Serenity said sounding serious, "Sure Serenity, what is it?" Tea asked taking a drink of her sprite, "Well, remember a few weeks ago when we all sat at Yugi's Grandpa's house and drank?" Tea nodded, and Serenity continued, "Well, that night Yugi and I sort of…..well…" Tea saw what she was getting at and gasped, "Serenity! Are you serious?" Serenity nodded, but Tea saw that she wasn't' smiling, so she asked, "Are you…regretting it now?" Serenity shook her head, "No, not at all! I was amazing, it's just that, Well, I took a pregnancy test and it was positive…"
