Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, and unless the creators of the series feel like selling it to me, I never will. ::Sobs:: So don't sue, ok? You won't get anything of value anyway. I have some of the cards and a few eppies that I taped off of the WB, but that's about it. Oh, and the cd that just came out, too. But they're MINE!!! MWA HA HA HA!!!!! (Starts laughing maniacally ala Y.Bakura). Lily belongs to me, and my friends belong to themselves, although the names have been changed to protect the innocent...gomen, I couldn't resist saying that. ::Big cheesy grin:: Oh, and any songs later on in here aren't mine either. Most of them belong to LeAnn Rimes, except for Simple and Clean from Kingdom Hearts and In the Air Tonight, which belongs to Phil Collins.
Summary: A young girl and her friends are zapped in the Yu-Gi-Oh dimension and find themselves caught up in a race against time. But Lily holds a dark secret within her, one that even her friends don't know about...
Pairings: Lily/Ryou ^___^
Reiana/Yami (My friend is probably going to kill me for this, but I think she *likes* him...gomen, bluefire. I had to do this, don't kill me.)

::Chapter one::

"Hey, Lily! Lily, are you in there? Wake up, it's your move!"

Lily jumped, startled, and glanced over at her best friend, Nailyn. "Huh? What? Oh, right. Sorry about that, I just kind of zoned out for a second there," she said, blushing slightly in embarrassment

"It's all right, don't worry about it. But it's your move," Nailyn replied.

Lily nodded and glanced down at the playing field. Neilyn had a Blue-Eyes White Dragon on the field in attack mode, as well as a Defense Paralysis trap card. (A/N: I'm not sure if that's what it's called, but I've heard it referred to that before, so if I'm wrong, someone let me know.) Lily sighed and looked at the cards in her hand, trying to figure out a strategy to beat it and win the duel.

After a few moments, she grinned and pulled four cards from her hand. Then she put them down face-up on the field in their respective spots and leaned back into the sofa cushions again, her arms crossed lightly over her chest in a triumphant gesture.

"I'll play the Dark Magician (A/N: My favorite! Aside from the Change of Heart, that is. ^__^) in attack mode and combine it with three Magic cards: Book of Secret Arts, Yami, and Sword of Dark Destruction. I believe that brings my Dark Magician's attack power up to 3400, which is more than enough to beat your Blue-Eyes. And if I'm right, I believe I just depleted the rest of your Life Points," Lily said finally, the grin still on her face.

"Can you do that? Can she do that?" Neilyn asked, turning to the only other two occupants of the small apartment.

Reiana shrugged. "Yeah, it was a legal move. Lily wins again," she answered.

"Kuso," Neilyn said. Then she turned back to Lily. "You're getting good at this game."

The young duelist blushed again and brushed a few strands of her long silver hair out of her emerald green eyes. Then she stood up, stretching luxuriously and brushing off her skirt as she did so and turned back to her companions.

"I don't know about you three, but I seriously need some caffiene. Anybody want anything while I'm up?"

"What do you have as far as soda?" Akira asked.

"Vanilla Coke, Pepsi, Cherry Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Cherry Mountain Dew, and Dr. Pepper. Take your pick," she said. (A/N: I don't own those either.)

"Dr. Pepper."

"Pepsi."

"Mountain Dew."

"All right, I'll be right back," Lily said.

Then she wandered into the small kitchen. She rummaged around in the refrigerator for a few moments, finally pulling out the sodas, and put them down on the counter before turning back to her companions.

"I've got stuff for chips and dip or something if you want," Lily said.

"Sure, sounds good to me," Reiana said, and the others nodded their agreement.

"All right, can one of you come in here and help me bring this stuff into the living room?" Lily asked as she pulled a bowl of ranch dip out of the refrigerator and set it down on the counter next to the sodas and the bag of chips that was already sitting there.

Neilyn stood up and walked into the kitchen. Lily handed her the chips and bowl of dip, grabbing the sodas herself. Then the two girls wandered back into the living room. They put the stuff down on the coffee table and sat down again, Neilyn in the chair next to the couch, and Lily perching herself cross-legged on the arm of the sofa again.

"So now what do you want to do?" Akira asked.

Lily shrugged. "I don't know, I just bought Star Wars Episode 2 (A/N: I don't own SW either, but this is a great movie! I suggest you go out and rent/buy it!) yesterday if anyone wants to watch it, or I have other movies, or video games. Take your pick," she said.

But no one got a chance to answer her. The room suddenly seemed to become steadily brighter. Lily noticed it first. She turned around and nearly screamed when she saw the strange blue glow that had suddenly appeared behind the girls. It was quickly becoming larger and brighter, almost as though a portal of some kind had been opened.

"Umm, am I hallucinating, or does any of you see that blue light behind me?" Lily asked nervously.

Reiana shook her head. "No, you aren't hallucinating--" she started, before she was cut off.

The blue glow intensified tenfold, temporarily blinding them. None of the girls even had a chance to cry out before their whole world went dark.

TBC...MWA HA HA!!!

Well, what do you think so far? This is my second attempt at a Yu-Gi-Oh fic, so I'm still pretty much testing the waters here as far as my stuff goes. I love the show, but I wish they'd have Ryou in more of the new eppies. ::Glomps Ryou:: I was going to put this up yesterday, but it was my birthday, and I didn't get the chance to. I'll try to get the next chapter up tomorrow. Part two will reveal Lily's secret. In the meantime, please R&R! Flames will be used to light the demented pony (Pegasus) on fire. (I really don't like him. I can understand him wanting to get his wife back, but he totally goes over the deep end.) Ja ne!
