When she woke up, Melissa didn't realize that she was inside of an abandon warehouse, had just seen a dragon explode before her eyes, got sent into a magical sleep by some stranger that was dueling one of her classmates, sentenced to somehow play a part in the doomsday of the world, or anything like that. Her first and foremost thought was: "My parents are going to KILL me for being this late!"
Although she hated to leave behind the boy in her class, whatever his name is, she knew she couldn't carry him, no matter how much she had trained to become a black belt. So, she did the next most logical thing. She found an abandon room that locked from the inside, put him inside, stepped on him to wake him up, and then closed the door. Although she could lock the door, it would serve as a small means of protection, until he woke up. Then, Melissa started running for her life.
By the time she got home, it was past eleven. Her parents were red-eyed, and their eyes looked wet, so they must have been crying. Before she could do anything, or even say anything, her parents swept her up in a huge hug, then grounded her for the rest of her life for scaring them so long. "And, you are going to have one of us chaperone you home every day." Before she could complain, Melissa was sent to her room. By the time she got into her bed, she knew she wouldn't fall asleep, so she just lay there, trying to figure out what that duel had been about.
She knew it had to have been some kind of a duel, but she had no idea what those things were. She recognized, sort of, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and now she knew what the Dark Magician looked like. She wondered if there was any other… She had no idea what to call them, so she decided to call them monsters. Finally, after laying there for what seemed like hours, she managed to go into a light sleep.
The next morning, when she arrived at school, she started off immediately to her classroom, in hopes of finding the boy she had saw duel earlier. Melissa stormed through the door, and saw he was the only person in the classroom. He was mumbling something again, but it didn't look like he had even noticed her arrival. "Alright, what was that yesterday, whatever your name is? Yes, I'm talking to you." She said the last part when he nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard her talk. She couldn't help but think, so much for knowing what is going on around him.
He turned, smiled, turned, and said "Hi, Melissa! I suppose I do owe you a few explanations. This might be a lot to take in at first, but please just bear with me. The game you saw us playing is called Yu-Gi-Oh, although some people call it Duel Monsters, while others call it the Shadow Games. Regardless, it is all the same game, more or less.
"Yes, I know what you are thinking, and yes, it is a game. I have no idea what that person I was dueling said at the end, or why we fell asleep, but the monsters you saw are the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and the Dark Magician. Here, before I tell you anything else, how about I show you the game?"
