Other things for you to know:

1) Tristen was freed from the virtual world. In other words, he's not a monkey anymore.

2) Yami Malik isn't so very bad now. Malik already gave up trying to become Pharaoh.

3) Ryou isn't in this story very much. His yami is gone, but he still has the Millennium Ring

4) I'm going to write a bit of romance from now on.

Here are the couples-

Tristen/Serenity (that is, for now. They'll break up later)

Mai/Joey

Tea/Seto (there's only a little bit of this)

********************************

Thanks-

Akiko, for all your the reviews and your help.

That's all there is for now. ^_^

"I recommend you back off or you'll get hurt." Ami said

"Bring it on." Ami said as she drops her schoolbag and gets in a fighting position.

Let me take over, hikari. I can take them out in a few seconds. Tsuki said to Ami

You're going to use magic? No, I'm going to take them out the old fashioned way. Ami replied

I didn't know you knew how to fight.

There are a lot of things you don't know about me.

One boy breaks out from the circle and walks up to Ami.

"I'm going to beat you up!" The boy sneered and laughed.

The boy lunges with a punch. Ami blocks the punch and kicks the boy in the stomach. The boy flies through the air and hits a wall unconscious.

2 boys more break off from the circle.

"You're going to pay for injuring him." One boy says

"How are you going to make me pay, huh? Let's see you try." Ami challenged.

The 2 boys get to opposite sides of Ami. Both attack Ami at the same time with a punch. Ami drops down to drop kick one boys. The boy falls over, the wind knocked out of him. The other boy tries to kick Ami. Ami grabs his foot and pulled on it, tripping him. The boy breaks a leg. Ami stands up and the uninjured boy behind her grabs her in a choke hold. Ami takes hold of his arm, bends down, and flips him over her head. The boy slams onto the ground and faints. Ami looks up to see the Joey, Tristen, and Duke taking out the other boys. In a few moment, the other 3 boys were on the ground, unconscious. The boy with the broken leg crawls up behind her.

"Ami, behind you!" Tea yells.

The boy grabs Ami's leg and tries to pull her down. Amy twists out of his grasp and locks his hands behind his back.

"I told you, you were going to get hurt." Ami said and knocked him unconscious. She stands up and walks over to the others.

"What are you doing here?" She demands, "Were you following me?"

"Um, no. Not exactly. We were looking for you." A blond-haired girl says

"And who are you 2?" Ami asks the blonde girl and a young girl standing next to Joey.

"I'm Mai Valentine and this is Serenity Wheeler."

"We found my big brother and came along." Serenity answered.

"I don't need you guys following me. I'm fine by myself." Ami said, turning away.

"We didn't say you couldn't take care of yourself. You did very well in that fight. We just wanted to take you to Grandpa's shop. You mentioned wanting a deck yesterday." Yugi said.

"Oh," Ami said, cheering up, "I'm sorry. I guess I was in a bad mood..."

"We understand," Duke said. "Must be hard to have so many people hate you even though they don't know you."

"Yeah. That's why I never really had any friends," Ami replied.

"Well, you've got us, now. So, stop being so gloomy." Tea said cheerfully, "Now, let's go."

* * *

At the game shop:

"Grandpa, I'm back." Yugi called as he entered the store.

"Yugi!" Grandpa said as he looked up from the counter, "You brought all your friends along with you. Who's the newest member of your group?"

"I'm Ami Meian. A new student at school." Ami answered shyly.

"Come in." Grandpa welcomed them in.

"Ami wants a deck, Grandpa." Yugi told his grandpa.

"Well, pick the cards you want." Grandpa says to Ami.

What cards should I pick?

Trust your heart, Hikari. I'll tell you if the cards you pick are bad. Remember, get cards that will strengthen Celestial Archer Girl and at least 10 weaker monsters you can use for sacrificing.

Thanks, Tsuki.

Ami walks around the shop looking at the cards and picking a few.

Good cards, Hikari.

Thanks

"I want these cards, Mr. Motou."

Ami pays for the cards and says goodbye to everyone.

Over the next few weeks Ami becomes good friends with the whole group.

* * *

The last day of school:

"Summer vacation has started! Yeah!" Joey yelled in the hallway. A lot of people turn to stare at him.

"You're embarrassing yourself, Joey. Calm down." Tea said, sweat dropping.

"Oh." Joey starts laughing nervously.

"Is the puppy acting idiotic, again?" A cold voice said. Everyone turns around. Joey stops laughing to yell at the person.

"Who're you calling a puppy, you stuck-up person!" Joey yelled angrily.

"I'm calling you a puppy, Joey." The man said calmly with a smirk.

"Grr."

"Hey, Kaiba. What are you doing here? Didn't you graduate from school already?" Yugi asked.

"The only reason I came back to this dump is to find you. I'm holding another tournament. Care to sign-up?" Kaiba said, still smirking. A young boy comes out from behind him holding a large briefcase.

"This is going to be the best tournament ever. Big brother even made new duel disks." The boy said smiling.

"Come on, Mokuba. Let's go." Kaiba says and walks away with Mokuba following him.

"Um, who were those two?" Ami asks.

"That was Seto Kaiba and his little brother, Mokuba." Tea answers.

They group walk out of the school.

"Hey!" Mai calls running up the stairs with Serenity.

"Big brother." Serenity says giving Joey a hug.

"What about me?" Tristen mumbles.

"Did you say something?" Serenity asks.

"Huh? Oh nothing." Tristen answers nervously.

"Do you want a hug, too?" Serenity asks innocently, smiling.

"Uh, no. That alright." Tristen says hurriedly as Joey glares at him.

Serenity gives him a quick hug anyways. Tristen blushes all red. Everyone laughs, but Joey glares at him.

"Did you know that Kaiba is holding another tournament?" Tea asks.

"He is?" Mai says surprised, "Let's go sign-up."

Tristen takes Serenity on his motorcycle.
"See you there!" Tristen calls as he leaves.

"I don't know the way, so I'll ride my bike slowly, and follow you guys." Ami says.

Everyone leave for Kaiba Corp.

* * *

Inside Kaiba Corp:

"This is a very big building." Ami says in awe as they walk to the counter with a 'Battle City 2 Sign-Up' sign over it.

"So the new tournament is called Battle City 2. It must be the same as the last tournament." Duke remarked.

"So, who's signing up?" Joey asked, "I am."

"I think I'll sign up, too." Yugi says.

"I want to duel. This just might be a bit of fun." Ami says.

"I've never been in a tournament, unless you count the one Noah set up. So, I'm going to duel." Duke says.

"I'm definitely going to duel." Mai says.

"I'm not dueling. I'm not very good." Ryou says.

"I'm dueling, too."Tea finally decides.

"I also want to try dueling even though I'm not very good." Serenity says.

"You two are going to duel?" Tristen says, "You barely know how."

"What did you say?" Tea says angrily as she turns around to face him with her hands on her hips, "Just 'cus I don't duel much does not mean I'm horrible at it. I beat a member of the big five you know. I'm not that bad."

"I just want to try dueling. I don't expect to win." Serenity says smiling.

"All right. If you're going to duel, I'm dueling, too." Tristen says ignoring Tea.

"Well, if you want to duel, let's go sign up or are we just going to stand here." Mai says impatiently.

They all walk over to the counter.

"Are you all signing up for the tournament?" The man behind the counter asks.

"Everyone except for this boy over here." Joey says pointing to Ryou.

"Name?"

"Joey Wheeler."

"Ami Meian"

"Mai Valentine"

"Duke Devlin"

"Serenity Wheeler"

"Tea Gardner"

"Tristen Taylor"

The man reaches into a box at his feet and takes out 7 devices that Ami didn't recognize.

"Here are your Duel Disks and Locater Cards. You're all set. Bye" The man then turns away from them and starts typing something into the computer. Everyone, except Ryou, takes a Duel Disk. The entire group walks away from the counter.

"Well, that person wasn't very friendly." Joey remarks.

"Is anyone in Kaiba Corp friendly?" Tea says exasperated.

"There's Mokuba." Yugi points out.

"Anyone other than him? He's only a child after all."

"Not that I know." Tristen replies.

"How does this thing work? " Ami asks.

"I think you press this button." Duke says and presses a green button. The device then suddenly seemed to fold out.

"Cool" Ami exclaims, looking over Duke's arm. She reaches her hand over to a red button, "What does this button do."

"That button turns over a magic or trap card you've placed on the field." A cold voice says, "you also forgot to insert your deck into the Duel Disk"

Ami turns around to find Seto Kaiba towering over her.

"Just to let you know, I've never in my life used a duel disk, so how would I know how the darn thing works."Ami snaps at Kaiba, "I doubt you've made an instruction manual either."

Kaiba glares at Ami and walks away. As he walks out, he says something to Tea. Tea smiles and Kaiba leaves.

"Did he just talk to you?" Joey asks in astonishment.

"Is there something wrong with him talking to me?" Tea asks.

"No, it's just that he never says anything nice." Joey says.

"Hey, Joey. Let's go find someone to duel." Tristen interrups.

"Okay!" Joey says cheerfully, completely forgetting about Tea.

"Well, I guess we go duel."

Everyone walks through the door to Battle City.

* * *

In Battle City:

"Do we separate her?" Ami asks

"We can go anywhere we want here."Yugi replies.

"Um, I'm going to go find a duelist, bye." Ami says as runs away.

"Wait!" Duke yells as Ami leaves, but Ami doesn't hear, "Shoot! She left."

* * *

Back to Ami:

"Are you a duelist?" Someone behind her says.

Ami turns around to see a man wearing a weird dark violet robe.

"Yes."

"Then I challenge you to a duel." The man says pressing the on his Duel Disk.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's Ami's first duel! Yay.

I need to create a deck for her.

This has got to be my longest chapter.

Plz review. I want at least 5 reviews for this chapter.
