Kaira-chan: And welcome, to the almighty prequele to "Happy Birthday Yugi."

Yami: Just what you need, another fic to tack on to your 22 ongoing ones...

Kaira-chan: Just shut up and say the disclaimer .

Yami Kaira: I don't see why he should, you know he's right.

Pharaoh Yami: They do have a point...

Kaira-chan: Oh, all of you just shut up .

Yami: Fine fine, Kaira-chan doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh, you must really be stupid if you thought she did...

"Yami! I'm home," Yuugi called up the stairs as he entered the Game Shop.

He kicked off his shoes, and went through the back door of the frount room, entering the house part of his home. He turned the corner, and entered the kitchen.

"I'm in the kitchen Yami! Do you want anything?" He called.

He got no reply, so he just grabbed a bottle of Jolt (Don't own) from the fridge, and the loaf of bread and some jam.

He took the peanut butter from the shelf, and butter from the counter.

Soon he made himself a Peanut Butter and Jam and sat down at the table. He ate the sandwich viciously, washing down every third bite with the Jolt.

"You look like Jonouchi-kun or Honda-kun when you eat," A voice called from the doorway of the kitchen.

Yuugi looked, and swallowed the bite of sandwich he had in his mouth.

"Hi Yami!" He smiled, seeing Yami leaning in the doorway.

"Hey aibou," Yami said, pushing himself away from the door and coming over to take a seat beside Yuugi. "What's your hurry?" He asked, as Yuugi took another big bite from the sandwich.

Yuugi swallowed it again, washing it down with his Electric Blue Jolt. "I'm going to meet the gang at the mall,' Yuugi said. "I thought I'd come by to drop off my stuff and ask if you wanted to come with."

Yami's eyes widened as Yuugi took too big of a bite, and began to choke on it.

"Hey! Don't choke!" Yami said, jumping to Yuugi.

Yuugi chocked it down and smiled. "Don't worry," He said, still smiling.

"Don't do that Yuugi! You scared me half to death!" Yami gasped.

"I thought you already were dead," Yuugi grinned.

"You know what I mean! It's a figure of speech! Yami yelled, hitting Yuugi over the back of the head playfully.

"So, do you want to come with us?" Yuugi said, smiling no longer. His lavender eyes looked hopefully into Yami's.

Yami blinked, hard. "I don't think so," He said, turning away.

"Why not?" Yuugi asked, his voice falling.

Yami looked back at Yuugi, then turned away quickly. "I have better things to do then follow you around like a lost dog. I have to clean the shop, and sweep the leaves, and watch the shop," Yami snapped, sweeping out of the room angrily.

"Yuugi's eyes followed his Yami out of the room sorrowfully, wondering if he had done something to make his other self angry with him.




"Don't worry about it Yuugi. Your other self probably just has a lot on his mant right now," Honda offered when Yuugi told his friends about what had happened.

"Yeah, I mean, a lot has been going on lately. Bakura, Malik and Marik have been oftly quiet lately, and that even creeps me out. And they've never tried to kill me before," Anzu offered.

"Plus, there's Seto's contest. That even make's me nervous, and I don't have to world champion title to uphold," Jonouchi added,

Everyone stared at him. "What?" He asked.

"Dude... you just called him Seto," Honda offered.

"No I didn't!" Jonouchi glared, then ran what he just said through his mind. "Oh..."

Jonouchi pushed open the door for Anzu, Honda and Yuugi.

He let the door close behind them as he followed.

"So... Where does everyone want to go?" Yuugi asked them, looking around the mall.

"Julia's dance music, books and cloths." "Sky-high Airplane Models.""Bob's Army Hut!"

Yuugi was bombarded by all four idea's (His being one of them) at once. He sweat dropped.

Yami would know what to do, Yuugi thought.

"OK...Uh... let's go to the dance place first, then the Army place, then we can check out the Plane place," Yuugi said.

"Aw, why is Anzu's place first?" Honda whined.

"Yeah! It's only because you like her, isn't it?" Jonouchi added.

Anzu blushed slightly, were as Yuugi turned red.

"Jonouchi-kun!" He cried.

Jonouchi laughed. "Okay, let's go then."

It was a long and tedious three hours as Anzu searched the dance store. She tried on every outfit ("Yuugi, does this make me look fat?" "Is this too girly?" "Is this girly enough?" "Does this make my boobs look big?"[surprisingly none of the guys perked up at this, though they did all look]).

And she looked at all the CD's ("Should I try ballet?" "Oh! Do you think I'd be a good jazz dancer?" "Do you think that tap dancing would be my thing?" "Maybe I should do the hip hop thing...").

And then, she looked at every book. ("Hey, I read this at the library!" "Wow, I didn't know that Stephanie La'france the famous dancer wrote a book!" "Do you think I should buy this?")

By the time she was done, not only were Jonouchi and Honda asleep, and Yuugi dozing off, but the mall was also closing.

After much complaining on Honda and Jonouchi's part, Yuugi was glad to finally be home again.

His grandpa was watching the shop, so he walked past him, barely sparring him a tired wave.

He trudged up the stairs, to his room, and collapsed face down on his bed.

He fell asleep nearly immediately, disappointment managing to creep up on him before he was asleep.


He didn't get to see Yami.
