Fountain of Youth
Chapter 4: Grandpa, a Dance, and a Crush on Someone?
It was just a week before the annual Snowflake Dance at Domino High School... And the gang was busy discussing it. "Yami, who have you asked?", Yugi wanted to know.
"Oh, just one of the girls who asked me to take them...", Yami sighed, not really excited about it.
"My sister's coming with me!", Joey stated, "We always do that for each other, you see, that way neither of us is without a date at any dance we go to, that is unless one of us has a date that asked, or said yes...",
"Ryou? Who'd you ask?", Yami stated, raising an eyebrow...
"Oh.... That Selena girl....", he stated blushing.
"...", everyone knew Ryou to be the shy type, so why embarrass him?..
"Hey, who'd Yoma ask?", Joey wondered.
Yugi grew wide eyed, his Grandpa asking some girl his age out was a pretty odd thought, and it didn't settle well with him.... Just his luck that Grandpa sat down, just as the question was stated. "Oh... I- I haven't really asked anyone to the dance....", he replied.
"Awe, come on, your blushing... Fess up, who do you wanna go with?", Joey asked again.
"Rachelle.", came a timid reply.
"That new exchange student?", Ryou questioned, "The one with brown wavy hair, and deep emerald eyes?",
Yoma just nodded, red in the face... 'Poor Grandpa, they're embarrassing him...', Yugi thought to himself.
"Have you tried writing a letter to her?", Yami suggested.
"Hey, not a bad idea.", Ryou agreed.
"It doesn't even have to be written, just typed.", Joey reminded.
"I guess so.", came Yoma's reply, "I'll try it, but how will I find her locker?",
"I work as an office aid, and they let me see all kinds of files, I'll go ahead, and see which locker's is hers.", Ryou suggested.
"Gee thanks...", Yoma stated, calmly.
...
It wasn't long before a reply came, and it was a yes from her... Yugi already had his date with Roxanne, which was fine, but still was weird knowing that Grandpa was going out with someone his age....
However, it didn't seem that odd, do to the fact that he really was Yugi's age, only with an older spirit, and mind... So he'd have to adjust to all of this.... It was late after school when Yoma was in the band room... Freshman band was no fun, especially since he'd been through that all already, he'd stayed after to practice. So he got out his music, that is until he noticed a sheet of advanced band music sitting on the chair.... He picked it up, and decided it wouldn't be too bad to play a little bit, so he did.... Only he didn't notice the band teacher walk in on him. Until the teacher clapped.... "You're a lot better than even my current first trumpet, why don't you join the top band?", he was asked.
"Because, I was put in this class when I signed up.", he answered.
"Practice is tomorrow from five til' seven after school.", the band teacher added.
"Okay, thanks.", Yoma stated.
So things were starting to look up for Grandpa, and hopefully would keep doing so....
End Chapter: Well, there you go.... I'm trying here! Seto Kaiba's in the next one, and guess what Grandpa has for him? I'll leave that for you to figure out!!! R&R!
