AN/ I'll be using the Sailor Moon manga names and the Yu-Gi-Oh! American TV
names, cause that's what I most familiar with in each series.
AN2/ Shayla is my original character. To find out more about her read my Yu-Gi-Oh! fic Shayla's Story. She also appears in Shayla's Story; Season 2, Heart of the Cards, Ultimate Card Battle, Candle in the Darkness, and A Yu-Gi-Oh! Christmas Carol, all by me. E-100 Alpha has her in The Dragon Tamer, Digimon: Saga of the Divided Paladin, and Fellowship of Dragoon. LadyAkhana has her in Yugi No Yumi; King of Dreams. Thanks to all Shayla fans!
AN3/ This takes place in the year 1999.
AN4/ This symbol / means conversation between Yami and Yu-Gi.
"This is the way to enjoy summer vacation!" chimed Joe as he stretched in the sunlight on the beach.
"No school, no reports, no detentions," added Tristan as he kicked a beach ball.
"And no psychopaths who are after the Millennial Puzzle," added Tea as she kicked the ball back and nailed Tristan in the stomach.
"And you finally kept your promise to me," smiled Serenity Wheeler as she looked back at Joe with her newly healed eyes. "You took me back to the beach."
"I've never known Joe not to keep a promise," said Yu-Gi as he walked over. "He may just be a little late some times."
"Hey!" protested Joe.
"Don't deny the truth," teased Tristan. "Last one in the water is a rotten egg!" Tristan started off running.
"No fair!" protested Joe. "You had a head start!" The raced into the ocean, sending water everywhere.
"Boys....." muttered Mai as she appeared at the top of the beach.
"You're finally ready?" asked Tea when she saw the other girl appear.
"Yeah. I can see why you invited me. What sane girl would want to spend the day with all these guys?" replied Mai coolly as she spread her beach towel on the sand. And began to put on sun block.
"Is Shayla going to make it?" asked Tea.
"No, she has a date," replied Mai.
"Really?! With who?" asked Tea.
"Are you girls coming?" asked Serenity as she walked over.
"Where?" asked Tea.
"Into the water!"
"Sure," agreed Tea as she stood up.
"Not me," replied Mai. "I got to the beach for the sun, not the waves." She pulled out an issue of Vogue and made herself comfortable.
"Tea, Serenity, wait for me!" exclaimed Yu-Gi as he ran up behind them, the Millennial Puzzle bouncing along his neck.
Soon everyone, but Mai, was in the water having fun. They were splashing around, throwing the beach ball, and dunking each other.
/Did you ever do anything like this before, Yami?/ asked Yu-Gi.
/Not that I can remember,/ said Yami. /But that isn't saying much...... I am just glad to be a part of it with you./
/So am I!/
Some time later the slowly cooling winds forced them all out of the water. They all toweled off and walked back to where Mai was reclining.
"That was so much fun," sighed Serenity as she hugged Joe. "Thank you."
"No problem, little sis," he replied as he rubbed her hair.
"I was great to be able to have fun without worrying about the Millennial Puzzle," agreed Yu-Gi.
"Are you guys done acting like clowns?" asked Mai.
"Woah! Mai!" gasped Joe, getting his first good look at her in a swimsuit.
"You may look, but you can't touch," said Mai with a snap.
"Boys......" muttered Tea.
"Joe, you're being silly," scolded Serenity.
"Now what?" asked Yu-Gi.
"Let's head back to my place for pizza," suggested Tristan.
"Sounds great!" agreed Joe.
"Of course you'd be interested in any place where there's food," said Mai.
"Hey!"
"She's right, you know," agreed Tristan.
"I don't need you two double teaming me," retorted Joe.
"Of course, one of us is already more than you can handle," said Mai, without missing a beat.
"Hey!" protested Joe.
"We should be going, it is getting cold," said Serenity.
They all started to walk away, talking and laughing. But then Yu-Gi froze, as if something from far away was calling him.
"You all right, Yug?" asked Joe.
"I'll be with you in a moment," he yelled before turning and running down the beach.
"That was weird," commented Mai.
"We should follow him," suggested Tea as they took off.
"What do we have to lose?" asked Tristan with a shrug as the rest of the group followed.
Yu-Gi ran faster and faster down the beach, feeling like he was running out of time. Something was calling him and he could not refuse it.
He stopped short when he cleared the sand dune. He looked down, surprised at what he saw.
"What is it, Yug?" asked Joe as he came to a stop behind him. "Oh......" Joe saw what Yu-Gi was looking at.
"What is it?" asked Tea as she tried to see over him.
In front of them was an unconscious girl. Her school uniform looked worse for wear. Her blonde hair had been thrown all around her, but surprisingly it had managed to stay in two buns on the top of her head. She looked almost like she had been thrown down, judging from the groove in the sand that she was laying in. She seemed hurt.
