YUGI'S POV…
You awoke the next morning if possible, even more tired than before you went to sleep. With difficulty, and with an occasional groan, you got out of bed and went downstairs to find Grandpa eating an orange After you finished eating breakfast you went out the door to school to see Amy running up to you.
YOUR POV…
"Hey Yugi!" you said, kissing him
"Hi Amy." Yugi said, returning the kiss. You were loving the moment, and Yugi was too. "What about Yami?" you asked confusedly.
"I asked him not to come out until lunch when we tell the gang. That's not a problem, right?"
"No, I agreed to it, I just forgot. Seriously though, you have got to ease up! You look like you're afraid that I'll turn you down the first chance I get." you said.
"Sorry. It's just that you're the first girl I've ever loved, and I don't want to lose you." he said with a strange look on his face. It was the kind of look you give when you lie. You dismissed it as a trick of the sun. "You worry too much Yugi. I'm not that kind of girl." you said as you kissed him on the cheek. He suddenly brightened. "Thanks Amy. I love you."
"I love you too Yugi." you said, more honest then you had ever been in your life.

As you walked to the picnic benches, you were holding Yugi's hand. No one noticed. As you both sat down, you winked at him. He nodded, and switched with Yami. It was time to come out and tell all. "Guys!" said Yami, "I've got big news, so listen for a second."
"What's up Yug?" asked Tristan.
"Amy and I..." he said, face burning.
"Yes?" asked Bakura.
"Amy and I… are a couple!" he finally said. Stunned silence.
"?!... really?" said Joey, Tristan and Duke in unison.
"Yep!" you replied, giving Yami a hug from the side and kissing his cheek. Then the uproar shouted with occasional "Wow!"'s and "Say whaaaa?!"'s. Yami looked at Tea. She gave both of you a thumbs-up. Or at least, she pretended to.

Location: 154 Heather Avenue (Your house)
As you walked in the door, you were immediately shocked. Not because of the hit given to you by Dustin, but rather the lack thereof. When you entered the house, there was no yelling, no hitting, and no biting (Yes, you read that right.)
In fact, the only sound you heard was coming from the tiny radio in the kitchen, and that was always on. "Hello?" you called, regretting it the moment you did it. You expected Dustin to hit you from behind for making noise, but he didn't come. Nothing. Zilch. Nada. You figured that they were getting pissed at the bar. You decided that you'd have to cook for yourself tonight.
A while later, as you sat in the living room watching TV, you inadvertently clicked on the news. It said something about a suspicious-looking person in the area. At first you thought it was Dustin again, but you dismissed it. You were wondering what was taking Dustin and Beverly so long. You had arrived at home at 3, and now it was 6, and you were still waiting. Suddenly, you heard a noise. It was coming from the closet. You went to the closet, the knife that you were eating with and tiptoed over to the closet. As you opened the door, you screamed in terror. There, in the closet, on the ground was Beverly, with a knife in her back. To make a long story short, you fainted.
