"Here... I have something for you." Ryou dug into his pocket and produced a
small charm with a strange symbol on it. "It's for your charm bracelet." He
handed the charm to Ivy, who took off her bracelet and fastened the charm
on one of the links.
"Oh, thank you, Ryou! It's so pretty!" she exclaimed and hugged him tightly. Ryou gasped a bit for air as she let go.
"Happy birthday, sis." Ryou smiled. He then got a puzzled look on his face at something behind her.
"...Ryou? Are you okay?" Ivy turned around and gasped. There was a large black cloud moving fast in their direction nonstop. "That doesn't look good!"
"Run!" shouted Ryou as he turned and sprinted away from the cloud. Ivy turned and followed him, but running was no use. The cloud was soon upon them.
"It's catching us!" she gasped, trying to run faster. The cloud was coming, closer and closer upon them, until-
Ivy and Ryou sat bolt upright in their beds. There was sweat on Ivy's forehead, and she gasped for breath. "It was only a dream... Only a dream." she said to herself.
Ryou hunched forward on his bed and took in deep breaths.
/Another dream... I wonder if Ivy had it too.../
Ivy laid back down on her bed and sighed.
/At least it's Saturday./
She sat up again, picked up her bracelet from her night stand and fastened it on her wrist, admiring her favorite charm, the one Ryou had given her for her birthday. She decided to fix breakfast since their parents were out of town for the weekend. She got out of bed and put on her robe and slippers.
Ryou ran his hand through his silver hair and sighed. Then suddenly, seeming to remember something important, he took a quick glance at his alarm clock and leapt out of bed, rushing over to his closet where he threw a blue sweater, blue-jeans, and green socks onto his bed. "Ivy! Didn't you say that we were supposed to meet Isis at the museum at nine?!" he yelled into the wall.
"Yeah, why?" she yelled back, glancing quickly at her own alarm clock. "OHMIGOSH! It's 8:45!!!"
"Yes, I know!"
Ivy threw off her slippers and robe, thrusting her dresser drawer open. She selected a T-shirt with a red rose on it, red sweatpants, and white socks. She ran over to her closet and tossed out a pair of black sneakers. She hurriedly got dressed and raced into the bathroom, where she ran a comb through her hair and brushed her teeth. The door of the bathroom flew open and she almost fell down the stairs in her rush.
Ryou got dressed and ran downstairs also, stopping at the closet to dig out his white sneakers, and sitting on the couch to put them on. He then raced into the kitchen and grabbed two breakfast bars from the jar on the counter, tossing one to Ivy as she ran in.
"Thanks, Bro!" she said as she made her way to the garage, opening the door and flipping the light switch on. "ARGH! I forgot! Mom and Dad took the car! We'll have to ride our bikes!" she said with a quick glance at her watch. "And now we have five minutes until we're expected to be there!"
Ryou ran out into the garage and grabbed his bike. It was deep blue, and had silver on the handlebars. "Then we'd better hurry!"
Ivy nodded and grabbed her own bike from where it was leaning on the wall of the garage. Hers was bright red with silver on the handlebars. She mounted it and began to pedal. Ryou walked his out of the garage and punched in the code to make the door close. He then mounted and pedaled after Ivy. "Do you remember where the museum is?" he said as he caught up with her.
"Yes," she said, turning a corner.

Ivy and Ryou rode up to the bike rack outside the museum, dismounted, and locked their bikes up. They then ran up the steps to the entrance. Isis, Kaiba, Yugi, and Yami were waiting for them. Ryou's Millennium Ring began to glow, and Bakura emerged.
"Ah, you've arrived. Is everyone ready?" said Isis.
"Yes. Can we just get on with it? I have business to attend to." said Kaiba, folding his arms.
"Very well." said Isis, making her way towards the museum entrance. "Please follow me."
The small group anxiously began to follow Isis into the museum.
"Oh, thank you, Ryou! It's so pretty!" she exclaimed and hugged him tightly. Ryou gasped a bit for air as she let go.
"Happy birthday, sis." Ryou smiled. He then got a puzzled look on his face at something behind her.
