Chapter 11
"Yugi!" Addy exclaimed, now running to his side. "Yugi, are you okay?"
Yugi, still on his hands and knees, continued to cry.
"He was willing to go all the way..." Yugi uttered through his tears.
"Yugi, what are you talking about?" Addy asked confused.
"I'm scared of him, Addy..." Yugi said. Addy looked over to Kaiba, assuming that Yugi was referring to him.
"Yugi, Kaiba's no-"
"Not Kaiba! Yami..." He growled. "I'm so scared...that I shall never duel again!" Yugi declared.
"Yugi..." Addy began, unsure of what to say. She hated seeing her friends like this. Even if she'd only known them for a day or two.
Kaiba stepped down from his place on the ledge as his holographic monsters disappeared, and said something to Yugi. Addy didn't hear any of it. She was to worried about Yugi.
"C'mon, Yugi..." She said, patting him on the shoulder as she helped him up. He was still crying. "Let's go sit down inside and cool off. It's just a duel; everything is going to be okay." She said with her usual smile.
Yugi wiped the tears from his face and smiled back at her as they retreated into the castle.

"Addy, you've got a package." It was her mother; she always collected the mail.
Addy ran down the stairs, excited. She loved getting packages; it didn't matter who they were from. Addy snatched the package from her mothers hands, smiling, and sat in the living room, setting the package on the coffee table. Addy was shaking with excitement as she saw Pegasus's name on the return address of the package. Without wasting any time, Addy ripped the box open. She found a tape, an envelop, two metallic stars, and a glove.
Addy removed the tape from it's resting place and plugged it into the VCR. Pegasus appeared on the tape, and addressed Addy personally.
"Hello, Addison." Pegasus began. Addy was overflowing with happiness. "I've sent you this package to congratulate you on your qualification to enter my exclusive Duelist Kingdom Tournament!" He continued. Addy looked away from the television, still listening however, as she returned to the box on the coffee table and examined the other items.
"I've given you two start chips to use as both your key to enter the tournament, and your tools to find yourself in the finals. Use the gloved I've supplied to store them. Remember, these stars are your ticket onto the island. Do not lose them." Pegasus abandoned his serious tone and returned to his seemingly happy self. "Once again, congratulations on gaining entry to the tournament, and hopefully I'll see you in a few days."
The tape ended, now revealing only a blank screen. Addy turned off the VCR, along with the TV and returned to her package.
She pulled out the glove and put it on.
"This is awesome!" Addy explained, now removing the star chips and placing them in her glove. Then her attention returned to the package. Pegasus hadn't explained the envelop. She removed it now, curious. She tore it open, and a set of cards fell out. They appeared to be duel monsters cards, but there was no writing on them. She picked one of them up. It had a picture of a castle on it.
"Is this Duelist Kingdom?" She asked herself quietly.
