It was a lovely ceremony, one that stays forever in her memories...a moment where she truly made him proud...

...Right?

"Connar? Helloo? Connie?" Mokuba sighed as he gazed upon the sleeping beauty. Hands on his hips as he shook his head from side to side.

"Connar if you don't get up now you're going to miss the ship!" he huffed,"Besides didn't you want to see the entry level duels of the applicants seeking enrollment into Duel Academy?" he blinked, "Norika is taking the main exam, right?"

Norika was her best friend since back at Duel prep School. she wasn't a very good test taker, unlike Connr, and so had to take the main exam. She had been looking forward to this day for a long time. Connar on the other hand was a shoe in, either way thanks to her father's influence...However she didn't let this define her. Adopted or not, day and night she trained herself, practicing with her deck only to improve her already natural talent. All she wants more than anything else is to make her father proud, and to truly earn her family name...

"CONNAR ROSE!"

However...she tended to be a bit flighty from time to time.

"AHHH!" Connar shrieked from her startlement and fumbled out of her bed, entangled with her lovely princess bedding, pink and frilly that matched the colar of her cherryblossom hair. Silk and frills...nothing but the best for daddy's little princess...

A sleeping beauty indeed.

"Uncle Mokeeeyyyy" She groaned and puffed her cheeks with her sleepy eyes locked together fighting back the waking tears and eye crusts from being up late the previous night,"I was having such a good dream..."

"Oh sweet Connie...lost in dream land again." her uncle sighed, "Someday we're afraid you might never return..." Her uncle chuckled and patted her head as he unraveled her blanket wrap. A look of unsettlement shimmered in her blue eyes as she thought back to the day where she almost didn't.

"That aside, you are aware of what day it is today...aren't you?"

"Hmm? What are you talking about?" she yawned and tried to straighten out her long pink haired bed-head.

Her uncle sighed.

"Check your calendar again..."

She looked rather confused and lost in a daze as he stumbled over to her wall calendar and counted the days

"AHHH! OH NO, I'M LATE!" she cried out and fumbled around over herself, "Norika's gonna kill me!"

"...There you go." he chuckled as he watched her stumble into her closet and slam the door. The closet itself was big enough to be a room in of itself. She would walk into an avalanche of endless clothing and still rush out in the simplest of selections. A Black top, and a red skirt, with black thigh high stockings. A white headband matched her white boots and that is what is known as A Connar Rose Original. He shook his head and picked up the mess she made which soon met the floor again as she burst out of the closet in a run, causing him this time to fall into the trap of comfort.

"Sorry Uncle Mokey! I'll make it up to you!"

"Hey make sure you say good bye to Big Brother- Oh what's the point she's already gone..." he sighed and began to pick up the blankets again while a tall shadow loomed in behind him, and a husky voice spoke words to call his attention.

"...We have maids for that Mokuba, why do you bother...?"

"O-Oh, Big brother-" Mokuba paused, "I take it you saw Connar off already..." he gave a light chuckle.

"...I figured something like this would happen." his brother huffed and gave a soft sigh,"...So I came in this morning and said my farewells while she slept."

Mokuba sighed.

"While she was asleep? Really?" he blinked, " You know big brother...you ought to try showing you care while you're awake once in a while." he chuckled.

The man blushed and averted his gaze.

"...She'll know I care." he gruffed lightly,"...I left her a gift in her deck to assure that."

"Pfff...typical Seto..." Mokuba chuckled and neatly folded her blankets onto her bed.,"...You're gonna miss her, admit it." he snickered.

"I dont have to admit to anything, Mokuba." Seto stated,"...That girl of mine, if anything, has seemed to always come across as one card short of a deck..." he sighed and walked out of his daughter's bedroom, avoiding his brother's teasing gaze.

"True enough." Mokuba snickered, "Hence why you worry about her so much~."

XXXXX

The girl dashed at her heels, practically flying as she ducked and weaved through the people that sprinkled the streets of Domino City.

"If you want to see the entry examinees I better step on it!" Norika giggled as she appeared and made pace at the pink haired girl's side.

"Norika!?" Connar gasped, "What are you doing, shouldn't you be at the exam hall!?"

"I was waiting on you, you dumb ass." she stated.

Norika Satsuna. Tall. Bold. Blunt. And Beautiful.

"so if I miss my exams...I am blaming you for all eternity."

"Oh no~ a curse from the grave from Norika Satsuna!" Connar giggled and dashed a little faster, "We better pick up the pace then-"

Though the speed left it to where she couldn't stop herself in time-

"L-Look out!" Norika cried out as her heels screeched to a stop, sending her red haired ponytail forward with the breeze. It was too late for Connar. She tried to stop-but she had too much momentum. Coming in hot, she smacked right into the back of Brunette who seemed to heading in the same direction. "Huh?" he aknowledged the sharp voice and turned toward the on-coming traffic of a pink haired fumbler, unfortunately not in time.

SMACK!

The two took a fall together in a frontal collision.

"O-Oh no!" she flailed as she sat on top of the brunette male, "I-I'm so sorry!"

"Hahaha, Wow, at least buy the guy a cup of coffee first~!" Norika teased and walked over, gripping the pinkette's back with a single strong arm to pull her to her feet again, "Sorry about that~" she chuckled awkwardly.

"HaHa, it's all good~" the boy grinned, :"Gotta admire a girl who does the jumping~" he winked at Connar who flailed into a blushing storm.

"N-No that's not what I-AHH!" as she looked up she saw that, upon impact, her cards decided to scatter to the wind in flight.

"Oh No, your deck!" Norika cried.

"Your deck!?" he called out and looked up, "Oh no-That's certainly not good, come on!" he hopped to his feet and gave chase.

"Wait...you'll help me?" Connar blinked.

"Of course!" he said, "What kind of duelist would I be if I let another duelist lose their deck!?"

"I see...thank you." she blushed.

"Less chatting, more grabbing!" Norika huffed.

"O-Oh, Right!"

The three laughed, making a game to see who could catch the most scattered cards.

"Got one!" said the boy.

"Me too!" Connar giggled.

"If I grab more cards than both of you, then you're buying me LUNCH" said Norika.

"If you help gather all my cards, I'll buy you both lunch!" said Connar.

"HaHa, Now we're talkin'!" said the brunette, "I'd be crazy to turn down free food!"

The three split up and continued to gather cards.

"And...last one~!" Connar sighed in relief as she caught the final card in the wind and grinned in relief.

"Well Done~!"

"Huh!?" she blinked and glanced over towards the brunette.

"Did you say something?"

"Huh?" he blinked, "No not me."

"Huh..." she blinked and pondered," Come to think of it...that voice was kind of feminine..." She blinked and glanced down at the card in her hand.

Dark Magician Girl?

...Nah...Not likely...I must have just been hearing things.

Norika grew a look of concern as she watched her friend zone into the card in her hands. Her blue eyes darkened, like she was in some kind of trance...

Which only worried Norika more, praying there wasn't going to be a re-peat of the past in Duel Prep...

"Hey...Connar..." Norika blinked, "Are you okay?"

The pinkette blinked, and suddenly her eyes returned to their normal bright blue sheen. She turned toward Norika and smiled.

"All good!" said Connar, quickly sliding Dark Magician Girl into her pocket, as though it were some dirty little secret.

"Well, come on then~" said Connar, "Let's tally up the score!"
