A Strange Kind of Friendship Kiri- Hey have you ever had one of those kind of friendships where your friendship is build on complete honesty. Fala- Yeah! Wait. What is your definition of complete honesty? Kiri- Oh, you know! Not ever sugar coating anything for the other one and putting each other down just to build them up. Fala- I don't think I have ever had one of those friendships. I have seen some though. Kiri- Yeah, like who? Fala- You and Jade. Both- *Laugh *

**Marik**

He followed the trail that he had seen the familiar people take. Nothing. "Who were they?" he muttered under his breath. "What was that Marik?" Ishizu asked him. "Nothin' sis." They walked down the path of the park until they came to the edge of the park with a rail. Mark looked over the rail and saw the cliffs jutting out of the wall sides and of the ocean water. It seemed somewhat peaceful. There was a bench near the trees so there they sat, eating doughnuts and drinking coffee. Soon Marik heard the sound of people. A group of people walking towards them. Then he saw them. There was no mistaking that haircut. It was Yugi! "Oh no." he whispered. He looked desperately around. His eyes met his sisters and she read what they were saying perfectly. He's coming! And there's nowhere for em to hide!

**Joey**

He smelled doughnuts. There was no mistaking the scent.

"Hey guys! I smell more doughnuts!" he said excitedly over his shoulder. "Man, you're hallucinating." Tristan replied reaching into the bag for another doughnut. "I'm serious they should be right around he.." he stopped suddenly. I've got to be dreaming! It can't be Marik with his sister! It just can't be! Suddenly all eyes were on Yugi. He was the one who had, hade to same the world from Marik's wrath. What should he say to his former enemy now. Was he even former? "Good morning Ishizu! Marik!" he said. This stunned everyone! No one expected Yugi to forgive Marik so quickly!

"Good morning Yugi. How are you?" he replied. This is getting' all to weird! Yug' and Marik? Acting like friends? "I'm fine." Yugi replied calmly. "You?" "Can't complain. After all, who could after eating doughnuts right? He smiled. Genuinely smile at them. Joey looked around the group. They all looked weirded out just a little, but all around comfortable. I can't believe it! Well, if this guy is ok with Yug' than I guess he's ok with me. "So what are you guys doin' now?" Joey asked. "We're livin' in a house down the street. Ishizu just finished modifying the Egyptian exhibit and I'm gonna' start school in the spring. You?" "Yeah. I'm gonna' do the school in the spring thing too. I'm just trying to get some last minute dueling in. Now if only Tristan would duel me then I.." He was interrupted by the calls of his sister.
