***Modern Day Japan***
Crystal sighed as she plopped down on her bed. Her little "run in" with Big Joe had caused her to miss the bus home. And since she lived on the other side of town, it was a long walk. Normally she didn't mind the walk. It was kind of nice, but today was not a normal day. Crystal sighed as she slowly sat up she ran her hand gently over her side.
/I think one of my ribs are bruised. Other than that, I should be fine. I can use my makeup to cover up the the bruise on my face/
Crystal didn't were makeup that often. Actually the only reason Crystal had the makeup was for such an emergency. And yes this kind of thing happened to Crystal about every month. The same story every time. She would move some jerk would mess with her and he would end up on the ground gasping for breath. Then he would swear revenge on her and try one of two things 1. Embarrass her in front of the school or 2. Beat her up. Crystal had gotten used to it. That's why she moved, to try yet again at a new school and a fresh start. She grinned.
/This is one of the few times I'm happy I don't have a family. I can pack up and go whenever I want. No strings attached. Nobody holding me back. Nobody to care to cause more pain. No that's not true Seto cared. Or was that pity? No matter. I'm fine alone. I have to be. Still I would give the world for just a day, no a moment, to be normal. To have friends and family that care. But we can't have everything. . ./
Crystal shook the thoughts from her head.
"Look at me! Sitting here like an old women. Talking like my life is over! Well its not! I'm staying at this school! I'm seeing this thing through! I'm going to make it work this time! And I'm not running away!"
Crystal smiled and lied back down /But first...a nap./ And with that Crystal fell into a deep sleep.
*******************************************************************
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! BEEEEEEEEEEEP!
Crystal groaned as she looked at the alarm clock. Big red numbers that read 7:00 stared back at her. She just stared groggily at the clock for a moment or two before the time actually registered in her mind.
"OH MY GOD! IM GOING TO BE LATE!" she screamed. Crystal dashed around the room trying to get ready.
After ten more minutes of running around her apartment like a psycho, Crystal was finally ready. She looked in the mirror almost all the bruises were covered up the only thing that she didn't cover was her blackeye. She ran down the apartment hall and out the door. Just in time to see the bus drive off.
"WAIT!" she yelled but it was no use the bus had already turned the corner. "Looks like I'm wal-" she looked at her watch. If she wanted to make it to first bell she would have to run.
Crystal dashed done the street, narrowly avoiding a group of women shopping.
"Hey!" one of them hollered out.
But Crystal wasn't listening she just kept running and repeating under her breath "Gotta hurry cant be late! Cant be late got to hurry!"
Meanwhile a young CEO was walking down the street looking up at the sky.
BAM! Crystal and Kaiba collided as they both turned a corner.
Crystal jumped up and blurted out quickly, "SorryKaibaI'mlateforclass!Youshouldhurryifyouwannamakeitbeforethefirstbellb ye!"
And with that she started running for the school.
Kaiba just sat there on the ground a moment, looking at her as she ran off. He slowly stood up. /But today's a Saturday!?/
Crystal finally made it to school only to find out that it was indeed a Saturday.
/I am SUCH a moron! How could I forget that today was Saturday! Kaiba probably thinks I'm the dumbest person on earth. Well the damage is done. Since I'm already up and dressed I think I'll go shopping! Who knows today may not be as bad as I thought!/ And with that she headed off.
An hour later, Crystal had blown all her cash. She had about a million bags containing varies outfits, cd's, and cute junk that has no purpose but you still HAVE to have it. She grimaced.
/Well since I'm now officially flat brook I'll need a job. But first I should really dump this stuff at home!/
So Crystal went back to her apartment, put her new stuff away and changed (Remember, she was still wearing her school uniform!). She now wore a red tube top and jean shorts.
"Maybe the paper will have some good ads..." So she grabbed the morning paper and flipped through it's wanted ads until she came upon a very appealing one.
WANTED! PART TIME ASSISTANT FOR GAME SHOP! MOST BE RESPONSIBLE AND WILLING TO WORK HARD! FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CALL TURTLE GAME SHOP: 655-792-1094.
Crystal thought for a moment /I doubt they would hire me now. I mean I have a black eye! But its either try this job or I'll be asking for hand out on the street. Well maybe not yet. I have enough cash to pay my bills but I'm gonna need a job soon! Or I really will be out on the street!/ So Crystal crossed her fingers and called.
"Hello, Turtle Game Shop how may I help you!?" a man's voice asked.
/Hmm sounds old/ "Hello I'm Crystal Jones. I called about your ad."
"Great! When can you stop by?"
"Whenever you want! In fact I could come by now."
"Okay that would be great! I'll see you in a few minutes!"
"Okay bye!"
So Crystal hung up her end of the phone and went to wait a the bus stop.
***At the game shop***
(Yugi and his friends (Joey, Tea, Tristen and Bakura) are sitting in Yugi's living room chatting about the school...mainly the fight in the cafeteria when Grandpa walks in.)
"Yugi I have something very important to tell you."
Yugi looked up and smiled, "What is it Grandpa?"
"Yugi, we are moving to Los Vegas!"
"WHAT!" Yugi was in shock Tea was on the verge of tears as she grabbed onto Yugi for dear life and Joey and Tristen were trying to calm her down. Bakura was the only one to notice Yugi's Grandpa, was looking like he was about to explode with laughter.
"I'm just kidding! The real news is I'm hiring an assistant!"
Tea turned and looked at Yugi. She blushed and let go. Joey and Tristen looked at Grandpa like he was a sick freak. (In this case I think they are right) Bakura rolled his eyes at his friends lonisey. Yugi was the first one to speak.
"Grandpa! That wasn't funny!"
Grandpa chuckled. "Sorry Yugi its just. . .I ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THAT!"
"Um right. Now what's with you getting an assistant? I thought I helped at the game shop!"
"Well you do Yugi, but you need to go hang out with your friends. That and I'm going on a trip in a few weeks. It would be too hard for you to run the shop alone."
"Well I guess that makes sense. Where are you going?"
"LOS VEGAS!"
O_O
Sorry the chapters are short! And the whole grandpa thing! But really THE MAN IS IN LIKE EVERY EPISODE OF THE DUELIST KINGDOM SERIS BUT HE HAS NO PERSONALITY! * sigh * But I'll make him a boring old man in the next chapter! I just wanted to try and give him a life. But I just turned him into a weirdo! To make it up to you I'll make my next chapter longer! My chapters now are like 3 pages long. Which I guess is okay but I'll try and make em longer for you anyway! Veva Los Vegas! Haha I now I'm obsessed! Well I should stop now before I scare my reviewers away! See you next chapter!
