Ray: She's a lot tougher than what I thought. I set 2 m/t and end my turn.
Emily: Not a smart move. I activate Harpie's Feather Duster.
Ray: Magic Jammer. I discard my Buster Blader to negate your Duster.
Emily: Ok, I have a back-up plan anyway. I summon Marauding Captain and since he was normal summoned I can special summon 1 level 4 or lower monster from my hand. I pick my Harpie Lady. Now I'll tribute Marauding Captain and Harpie Lady to my Amazon Archer's effect.
Ray (thinking to himself): How did I lose?
Emily: Dealing 1200 direct damage to your life points, winning me the game since I know you don't have anything to stop it.
Ray-0 Emily-7300
Emily: I win against another guy, how predictable.
Ray: Wait, How did you know I didn't have anything to stop your Archer's effect?
Emily: Umm.. I'm good at guessing?
Ray: Yeah right! In fact, now that I think about it, you couldn't have beaten me that quickly and easily. You cheated!
Emily: No, I didn't.
Emily started to sweat and get nervous. She accidentally dropped her deck and the cards scattered everywhere.
Emily: Now they're out of order!
Ray: What?! You stacked your deck ?!
Emily: Um.. no?
Ray: Yes you did. That's how you beat me! You cheater! No wonder you got cards at the right time!
Emily: Aww. Fine, I cheated! Ok?
Ray: How did you know my cards though?
Emily pointed to a corner of the room. Ray didn't see anything at first but then he noticed a flicker of light. He stared for awhile before finally realizing it was a video camera.
Emily: I set it up while I was waiting for you.
Ray: Why'd you go so low just to win?
Emily: Well my dad has always wanted me to be an expert duelist one day. To make our family proud, is what he'd always say. I want to make my family proud but I'm no good at dueling so I thought if I could win this tournament by any means necessary and get that Water Spirit then maybe I could become a great duelist and make my dad happy.
Ray: I'm sure he'll be happy that you made it this far.
Emily: Not when he finds out I cheated to get this far too.
Ray: What? You shouldn't cheat just to win. You should win on skill.
Emily: I know. But I'm not very good, I only started about a month ago and my dad pushed me to go into this tournament. I just didn't want to go back home empty-handed.
Ray: You just need more practice. Plus you shouldn't be worried about your dad. When you're dueling, you should only be worried about the duel, if you don't even for a second then it could change the duel in their favor.
Emily: I know. That's why I'm going to go home and train some more. I shouldn't go onto the semi-finals. You should be going, you could've beaten me easily if I hadn't cheated. All you have to do is go up those stairs over there.
She pointed to a door off to the side of the field that Ray didn't notice before.
Ray: Ok, as long as you train to become a better duelist.
Ray said his good-byes to Emily and as he was walking up the stairs he was thinking about how Jasmine was doing over in the other tower.
[IN THE OTHER TOWER]
Jasmine: I activate Shield and Sword to switch my Millennium Shield and your Summoned Skull's attack and defense points. Now Millennium Shield attack the Summoned Skull.
Jasmine-4750 Matt-0
Jasmine: Ray will be so proud that I won. Yaaayyyy!!!
Emily: Not a smart move. I activate Harpie's Feather Duster.
