As Naomi said I was released the next day… I left on my own… I knew my mom would freak but I still had two more locator cards to obtain so I could make it to the finals of the battle city tournament that evening. Thankfully I had put my duel disk on before I left… grabbing the attention of a duelist. It was quite a duel but I was finally able to obtain my last two locator cards.

"Yes! That makes 6!" I cheered to myself.

Mai walks up, "Congrats kid you earned them."

"Mai! You were watching?" I was surprised and a bit embarrassed.

"Yea! That was one heck of a duel!"

I try to walk past her but I bump into her and Slifer falls out.

"What's that card?" Mai bends down.

I scramble to pick it up, 'Th-That's my rarest card."

"I've never seen a card like that… how does it work?"

"You see when we face off in the finals… but please don't tell anyone until then!"

"All right you have my word… but what makes you think I made it to the finals?"

"Please! You're Mai Valentine!" I smile.

She laughs.

Yugi runs towards us yelling, "Meyome! Mai!"

"Yugi!"

"Are you sure you should be out of the hospital?" "Yea they just released me this morning…" "Oh that's right! I heard you were in the hospital!" Both- "How are you feeling?"

"It still kinda hurts to walk but not nearly as bad as it did, they gave me some meds before I left. They also gave me a prescription."

"Oh ok." Yugi sighed. "Drugs are good." I giggled.

Mai laughs.

Yugi's phone went off, "Hello? … Tea? … Don't worry Meyome's fine… she's right here beside me! Yea I'll bring her back to her house."

I whine really loud, "I don't wanna go home! Mommy will yell at me!"

Both Mai and Yugi laugh.

"Ok bye." Yugi hangs up.

"I wonder how they knew I was gone?" I put my finger on my cheek.

We get back to my house and everyone in the band is there, Seto and Mokuba, and the gang as well.

"Meyome!" Mokuba yells from beside his brother.

"Hey short stack!"

"Where did you go? Seto and me were worried when you weren't in your room!"

"They released me." I gave a goofy grin. "Why didn't you wait for anyone?!" Onee-chan scolded. "Because I had to get these," I simultaneously hold up 6 locator cards and cover my ears.

"THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO PULL THE STUNT YOU DID!"

I uncovered my ears, "To me it is! Look I cant let this cripple me from doing what I love! Although that duel was pretty hard, I had to summon Colossal Serpent."

"Your rarest card?!"

"That's not my rarest, never has been, I have quite a few other ones that top it."

I see Seto look over curiously.

"What is your rarest?"

"Can't tell y'all just yet. I'll summon it when I feel the time is right."

"Awww! Can't you show us?"

"No Wheeler!"

"Oh uh by the way… who was your last Duel?"

"Don't know… after he saw my duel disk he kind of just challenged me."

Mai walks behind us, "This kids good!"

"I just barely won!" I scoffed. "If you had summoned your rarest you would've won…"

"SHUT UP! The only reason you saw it was because I fell when I bumped into you! And you said you wouldn't tell anyone!"

"I know! I know!"

"Mai what is it?!" Joey nudged the woman.

"Can't say I promised her I wouldn't tell…"

"Finals start tonight so lets go… if y'all are going to be there hurry up."

"Can I go with you?" Kat pleaded

Rebecca, Matthew, and Robert- "Hey don't you leave us out!"

"Kaiba! Can Kat and the band come?" I looked towards Kaiba.

"Sure."

"Lets all go together!"

Kaiba scoffs and walks off.

"All right! You guys go ahead! I'm going to go with Kaiba and Mokuba," I say beginning to run in the direction Kaiba had just gone.

"All right, I'll go with the others. You and Kaiba probably have movie stuff to talk about."

"Yea true I'll go with Reba." Matt smiled and put his arm around Becca.

"What have I told you about calling me that?! It's Rebecca!"

Those bicker in the background…

"Meyome… you know I follow Matt wherever he goes." Rob smiled at me.

I laugh then get serious, "Becky!"

"What?" she snaps her attention to me.

"Keep Rob and Matt in line," then I look at the boys, "no making out in public. They're not as open here as they are in America."

"They're open about it in America?" Matt said sarcastically.

"You know what I mean!"

"Roger that Captain!" Becca did a mock salute.

"Well I'M going with Mey," Kat roughly grabbed my arm.

"What you two are goin wit moneybags!?" Joey sounded disappointed.

"Is that an insult to rich people?" I almost growled.

"No! But he's a jerk!" Joey pointed in the direction Seto had left.

"Just… shut up Joey." I say shaking my head before I ran after Seto, "Seto!"

"What is it Meyome?"

"Can we hitch a ride with you?"

"Please Seto? Can they?" Mokuba pleaded.

"All right then, lets go." Seto got in the limo.

"Wait can we stop by the house first?" Mokuba turned to his brother.

"Why?"

"I wanna get Meyome's late birthday gift!"

He nods, "Roland."

"Yes Mr. Kaiba."

When we get to Seto's house Mokuba dashes inside only to come out with a small box… he gets back in and hands it to me…

"Mokuba what is that?!" I ask taking the box from the 12 year old.

"Open it!" he bounced.

I do as I'm instructed and open the box… after I throw the wrapping paper at Kat that is… when I open the box I find a shirt with a chibi blue eyes on the front that says "I'm cute…"

"Aww Mokuba!" I was touched.

"Turn it around!" He smiled.

I turn it around to see regular blue eyes and wording that says "but I'm deadly!"

"Wait what are you trying to say here?!" I laughed with the kid who was already laughing.

"Well I think the message is the chibi represents a normal you; cute, sweet, and loveable. But the back represents you when you get defensive of someone, or if someone severely pisses you off."

"But really you're the only one who's seen me that pissed." "And that was a scary sight." She laughed. "Thank you Mokuba." I hugged said kid. "Not a problem! You said your favorite monster was Blue Eyes!"

I smiled and nodded.

We get to the area and find no one else there…

"Figures the dweebs couldn't find their way here." Seto scoffed and I began to laugh.

After I finished laughing said dweebs along with the rest of the band strolled into the stadium, as well as the other five duelists, we all boarded the blimp and took off. In mine and the bands room, Rob and Matt were making out on the bed, Kat was in the shower and I was showing Rebecca Slifer.

"Oh my god that's awesome!" she awed. "I know."

Seto walks in, "Meyome…?'

"Hmm?" I quickly cover Slifer, which I had lying on the table.

Looks around purposely ignoring the boys on the bed, "Where's Kat?"

"Shower," I gestured to the bathroom.

"I came to ask if you would come with me for a moment?"

"O-ok… gimme a sec." I pop my head in restroom and over sound of running water I yell, "Kat!"

"Yea?" she yells back. "I'll be right back! I'm stepping out for a little while." "All right!"

As I walk out Becky and the boys who finally detached themselves from each other were giving me thumbs up…
