~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tristan walks over to Mai's car with Duke.
Tristan: Hi! Mai! This is Duke Devlin one of my & Yugi's best friend, he also created a really cool Dungeon Dice Monsters game! but mainly why he's here is because he was wondering if you could take him with us also to the tournament, (turns to talk to Duke) And Duke, this is Mai Valentine another one of our friends.
Duke: Nice to meet you Mai, You must be Joey's girlfriend right?
Mai: (blushes) No! Where on earth did you here that from? And by the way nice to meet you too.
(What a change in attitude huh?)
Duke: (confused) Oh, It was just a hunch since I've heard Joey say so many nice things about you.(winks at Tristan)
Tristan: Yea, That is true.
Mai: (blushes from light pink to dark red) Really?
Duke & Tristan: Yup!
Mai: (starts to daydream) Wow!
Duke & Tristan start laughing.
Mai: (Snaps out of her daydream & is annoyed) What? Whats so funny?
Duke: If I didn't no better I'd say you like Joey!(chuckles)
Tristan: Yea!
Mai:(still very annoyed) Stop it you two! or I won't take you anywhere!
Duke: Alright, sorry
Tristan: Yah, Me too.
Mai: (relieved & moves her junk from the back seats onto the passenger seat & into the trunk) Thank you. Now get in.
Duke: Ok!
Tristan: Lets Roll!
And they leave Tristan's driveway and head for the hospital.
While their driving along Duke asks out of the blue
Duke: Hey Mai?
Mai: Yea?
Duke: No offence but why do you keep so much junk in your car?
Mai: (annoyed again but blushes) Uh..I dunno, Besides its really none of your business.
Duke: Ok, Just wondering.
Tristan: (whispers in Dukes ear) Why do you ask such annoying or insulting questions?
Duke: (Whispers back) I don't know, Don't ask me I just do sometimes.
Mai stops and parks the car.
Mai: Ok guys! We're here!
Duke & Tristan: Oh! Yeah! (& they jump out of the car & run towards the hospital.)
Serenity is being helped by the nurses to pack her things when she hears a knock on the door.
*Knock!*Knock!*
Serenity: Who's there?
Duke & Tristan: Duke & Tristan!
Serenity: (smiles) I know Tristan but who's Duke?
Duke: Let us in and find out!
Serenity: Ok, Come in! (chuckles)
Tristan: (To Duke) Get ready to see her!(smiles confidently)
Duke: (To Tristan) I'm ready!
They open the door at the same time and Duke closely studies her before making an expression.
Tristan: Hey, Serenity! I'm here just like I promised & standing right next to me is my new friend Duke Devlin! (walks over to her)
Duke then decides that she's everything and more than what Tristan said & in his mind hethat he was determined to never lose her to anyone! Not to Tristan & certainly not to Kaiba!
Duke:h-Hi! N-nice to meet you Serenity!! (*blushes* and shakes her hand gently)
Serenity: (cheerfully) Yea, nice to meet you too!
Duke just stares at her & Tristan breaks the silence by saying.
Tristan: Well, We'd better go now, Mai is waiting.
Duke: (stops staring and heads out the door with Serenity & Tristan)Lets hit the road!
Serenity:(Alittle fearful not knowing where she was) Ok.
Tristan & Duke hold Serenity's hands and guild her safely to the car & then put her stuff in the trunk.
Duke opens the door for her and Serenity sits down in the car at the far left side * immediately both Tristan & Duke rush to get the middle seat next to Serenity, & they collide *Bang!*
Tristan & Duke: (rub their heads) Oww.
Tristan: Watch out Duke! I'm sitting there!
Duke: Oh, no your not! I am!
Tristan: I want to sit next to Serenity so move!
Duke: No! I do!
They shove each other back and forth.
Serenity hears them & says.
Serenity: Come on guys! Don't fight over me! I'll sit in the middle and you each can sit by my side ok?
Tristan & Duke stop quarreling.
Tristan: Fine. I'll do anything for you Serenity.
Duke: ok.
So they both sit next to Serenity & both hold one of her hands gently, and Serenity just smiles.
Meanwhile Mai is just laughing her head off.
Mai: (chuckles)If I didn't no better I'd say you both like Serenity!
Duke & Tristan blush badly hoping that Serenity somehow didn't hear it.
Mai: Now lets go!
Duke then hold Serenity's up to his lips and kisses her hand gently & quickly puts her hand down hoping that Tristan did not see.
