Here's a little something for all you peoples who reviewed. My first full- length YGO story. This is sort of an alternate timeline story. The battle city finals don't take place right after the evil Joey episodes in this timeline. Well, enjoy!! And yes, almost all of the characters will be in this story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu gi oh, though I wish I did. Rosa, Porthos, and Blue I own, but I do not own Blue's species.

Chapter One: The game

"I hit the ball high. It's called playing, do you want to play?" ~ Mariel of Redwall

"Let's play a game," Rosa suggested after Kaiba left to prepare for the finals. They were in the middle of Battle City.

"What game?" Mokuba asked curiously.

"Duel Monsters, of course!" Rosa said.

"Okay. I just built a new deck and I want to try it out," Mokuba replied, pulling out his cards.

Rosa looked around. "We need Dueldisks. Where can we get some?"

Mokuba grinned. "I know where."

Uh oh, Rosa thought.

*-*

" Why are we stealing your brother's DuelDisks? Can't we just ask if we can borrow them?"

" We are borrowing them. Just without permission."

"That's still stealing," Rosa said.

"He won't mind, unless we break them," Mokuba said, handing Rosa a Duel Disk.

"Well, I won't break it then." *-*

About thirty minutes later, the duel was well underway.

"Ryu-Rann," Rosa called out, "Attack his Spirit of Flames!"

Ryu-Rann shot fire out of its mouth and destroyed Mokuba's Spirit of Flames. His life points went down to 3000.

"My turn, then," Mokuba drew a card. He grinned when he saw what it was. " I play the magic card dark hole! I'll lose my Wing Weaver, but your Defense monster and Ryu-Rann will be destroyed!"

"Activate Trap Card! Magic Jammer! Sorry, Mokuba, but that won't work. Now it's my turn again," Rosa drew, and smiled. " I just drew my favorite card. I sacrifice my two monsters to summon my Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

A snow-white dragon with bright blue eyes appeared and let out a roar.

"Blue-Eyes attack Wing Weaver!" A blast of lightning and Wing Weaver was gone. Mokuba's life points dropped to 250.

Just then, real lightning lashed through the sky. Thunder rumbled, and it started to rain.

"You win," Mokuba said to his friend. "We shouldn't duel in this rain."

"You're right," Rosa nodded. "Besides, I have to go to my summer classes." She swung her backpack over her shoulder. She took her deck and gave the Duel Disk back to Mokuba. "See ya later!"

"Bye!" Mokuba yelled as Rosa took off down the sidewalk.

All over Domino, duelists were stopping duels and getting out of the rain. It didn't take long for Mokuba to find his brother.

"So that's where my extra Duel Disks went," Seto said when he saw Mokuba, who was pretty wet by now.

"We didn't break them," Mokuba said. "I made sure we took good care of them. Anyway, Rosa beat me again."

"Speaking of Rosa, has the dragon egg hatched yet?"

Mokuba shook his head. "No, but it's close. Rosa told me the dragon kept moving around inside the egg today,"

"I wonder what dragon it is," Seto mused as he and his little brother walked home.

*-*
