Jounouchi woke up on the warm sand of his island. His dark eyes blinked
lightly, from the bright sun shining down into his eyes. Suddenly he jumped back in surprise.

" Whoa!! " He exclaimed, looking back at his friend who was smiling at him. It was Yugi Moutu,
his best friend. Yugi giggled lightly.

" Gimmi a break, Yug'. " Jou rubbed his forhead.

" Jounouchi, you lazy bum! I knew that I'd find you snoozing down here! " Yugi smiled.

" No! This huge..black.. THING swallowed me up! I couldn't breathe, I couldn't-Ow! "
Jou felt his head, but then shook off the feeling.

" Are you still dreaming? " Yugi folded his arms, looking at his best friend.

" It wasn't a dream! Or was it? I don't know.. What was that place.. So weird.."

" Yeah, sure. "

" Say, Yug', what was your hometown like? You know, where you grew up?" Jounouchi
asked curiously.

" I told you before. I don't remember. " Yugi replied, his back now to Jounouchi. Yugi's
pools were gazing over the light blue ocean.

"Nothing at all?" Jou asked, propping his elbows on his knees, sitting with his legs crossed.

"Nothing." Yugi replied once again.

" You ever wanna go back? " Jou asked, looking at his spikey haired friend.

" Well, I'm happy here! Isn't that what matters? " Yugi smiled, turning around to face the
blonde.

" Yeah, I guess so. " Jou offered the other a smile, too.

"But you know.. I wouldn't mind going to see it." Yugi nodded lightly.

" I'd like to see it too. Along with any other worlds out there! I wanna see'em all, Yug'! "
Jounouchi grinned, runing a hand threw his hair.

" Hey.. Aren't you guys forgetting about me? " Jounouchi looked over to the voice, as did
Yugi. Their friend, Pegasus Crawford, walked up holding a log. Two amber eyes gazed
at Junouchi and Yugi, as his unruly silver hair went down to his shoulders. He was
sixteen years old. Jounouchi was fifteen. And Yugi, was also fifteen.

" So... I guess I'm the only one working on the raft. " Pegasus said, tossing the log.Jou
tried to catch it, but it landed on his arms and he fell over.

" And you're just as lazy as he is! " Pegasus grinned at Yugi.

" Hee-hee.. So you noticed! Okey, we'll finish it together! I'll race you! " Yugi happily chirped.

" Huh? " Jou grunted.

" What, are you kidding? " Pegasus mumbled, as he sat down next to Jou.

" Ready? Go! "

Jou puased and looked at Pegasus. Pegasus puased and looked at Jou. Suddenly they
broke off into a run, Pegasus in the lead, and Jou trailing behind. Not too far from them,
Yugi followed, giggling.
