Read and review. Or don't. I don't care-.-


Yusei was having a nightmare. Ccaupac Apu reached out for him, and all he could do was stand there trembling in fear. Once the hand reached for him, he woke up immediately and started panting and sweating. He looked around and saw that he was in a medical bed. Then he looked himself over and saw that he was shirtless with his gut bandaged. He sighed in relief that it was just a dream before he looked and saw his girlfriend sleeping in a chair next to him.

Mandy's blue-jean jacket wasn't on her, so it completely exposed her bandaged arms, making Yusei frown in anguish. How could he have let Kalin hurt her like this?

His thoughts were cut short once Mandy began to stir and she opened her eyes tiredly. Once she saw Yusei was awake, she immediately jumped into his arms.

"Oh Yusei!" she cried. "You're okay!"

Yusei held her closely, fearing this was a dream and that she would disappear if he had let go. "I'm glad you're all right..."

Mandy could only nod in agreement. "I'm so sorry... You could've gotten killed..."

"No, I'm sorry... I should've protected you better..."

Mandy shook her head. "I'm fine, Yusei, really. There's nothing Kalin can do to hurt me..."

Yusei didn't believe that, but he kept quiet about it.

"Oh, Yusei, you won't believe what Martha told me about us..." Mandy said, suddenly remembering her conversation with Martha. "It turns out, you and I met as kids, along with Jack and Crow."

Yusei was surprised. "Really?"

"Yeah, in fact, I'm slowly starting to remember of when I first met you guys..."

Three little boys, Yusei, Jack, and Crow, were looking over their cards when they saw Martha go outside with a smile.

"Good to see you, Chloe," she said.

Approaching Martha was none other than Chloe Kitsune, the Queen of Games, who smiled at her dear friend.

"Good to see you, too, Martha," she replied. "How're your boys."

"Oh, they're fine. Is that little Mandy I see behind your leg?"

Chloe smiled as she patted her three year-old daughters head. "Yep, my little Mandy is right here."

Martha bent down to the little girl with a smile. "And how are you doing, little princess?"

Mandy smiled shyly and replied. "Okay..."

Martha then turned to the boys with a smile. "Come out and meet Mandy, boys!"

The boys looked at each other before putting their deck down and going outside. Upon seeing the boys coming, Mandy gasped and tried to hide herself behind her mother's leg. The boys watched her in confusion before Yusei spoke up with a smile.

"Hi there."

Mandy peeked a bit before saying silently. "Hello..."

Chloe smiled. "It's her first time meeting boys."

"Oh, how cute," Martha commented.

When Yusei and Mandy locked eyes for a moment, both blushed and looked away with nervous smiles.

Yusei was completely shocked. He had completely forgotten that he and Mandy had met as children. Perhaps because after her mother's death, Tom wouldn't allow to visit the Satellite anymore, and they had slowly forgotten about each other.

"Man, to think that we had met for the first time at the Kaiba Dome, only to find out that we met as kids... Kinda weird, right?"

Yusei only smiled. "No, I think it's fate..."

Mandy blushed as he brushed his lips against hers before she kissed back.

"Akiza's been distracted lately..."

Sayer looked at one of his fellow members of the Arcadia Movement in confusion. "How so?"

"Well, she nearly lost to one of our practice drones..."

Sayer frowned before got up from his chair and started walking out of his office.

Akiza was looking down at the robot she nearly lost to, her mind spacing off to Mandy. How was she? Where was she? Is she hurt? Akiza had been thinking about Mandy nonstop. She was the little sister Akiza never had, and she loved her dearly. So it was only natural that she would be worried about her. Then her thoughts went to the news of Mandy and Yusei being in a relationship. That brought a smile to Akiza's face. She couldn't help but be happy that the two were finally together.

As she walked out of the training room, she stopped when she saw Sayer coming to her.

"Is something wrong, Akiza?" he asked her.

Akiza looked down. "I... I'm just worried about Mandy is all... I know it's distracting me, but I can't help it..."

Sayer put his hand on her shoulder with a smile. "Don't worry, Akiza. I'm sure wherever Mandy is, she'll be fine. Trust me..."

Back at Leo and Luna's house. Everyone was sitting around, wondering on how Yusei and Mandy were doing.

"Man, I wish we had gotten word from Mandy already," Leo whined.

"Guys, I don't think Yusei and Mandy can handle these Dark Signers on their own," Alexa stated. "We need some help."

"Who's going to help us?" Cayenne asked.

"How about Akiza? She's a Signer too, and god only knows if Jack is even going to be willing to help us out."

"I'm with you on that one," tanner agreed. "How are we going to talk to Akiza though?"

"We'll just send them a message saying we'd like to talk to Akiza and wait if we get a response. Once we get one, we'll talk to Akiza."

Cayenne smiled. "That sounds like a great idea, Alexa!"

"Yeah! let's do it!" Leo agreed.
