(Here's number two. I had to continue the conflict from last chapter since I love comedy, and I just got another idea to get this mix-up. And maybe it's best to bring more characters into this. I just need to keep track of this sort of thing if I do so.)
And for the records, I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! If I did, then there would be some change! At least I think... .;; Forgive me for what I said, Takahashi-san!
Just Like Old Times
II - Contest
"Hey, who's that? She looks kinda cute." Duke listens attentively as he looks over from behind Tristan's shoulder.
Tristan's eyes widen again in surprise, his jaws wide open as it appears if his chin was going to hit the ground. "Oh, my god! Shut up! It's her! Did Joey invite her!?"
Blinking at the dazed one's expression, Duke then gets an idea and gives a little evil smirk. "Oh, so you do know this girl, I assume..."
Walking to the place in a short pink dress and with black straps on her wrists and neck, Nosaka Miho goes up to Joey and hugs him. "Hi! Wow, I never thought you would be getting married!"
Joey smiles to her, looking behind him to the whole place. "Well, I never thought so either, but look at me now. I'm sure glad you were able to make it! It may have been a few years, but you sure look like the same person I knew back in school." For a moment he scratches the back of his head. "So, you said you was doing business in school?"
"No, silly. I said I'm attending business school and I'm almost finished!" The blue-haired one playfully pushes Joey at his shoulder. "It's too bad that I don't know this fiancée of yours. It could have been easier if you got married to someone I know, like Tea! That way at least I know what kind of gift to get." She giggles lightly at her little joke.
Shaking his head, the brown-eyed man smiles a little more as he feels more relieved. "Amusing. Don't worry, you'll get a chance to get to know the wife since we get married in a week. And besides, we all know who Tea is with now."
Miho blinks slowly, nodding shortly after. "Ooh, so he has gotten his chance. That sounds wonderful. Are they here?"
He looks beyond the glass doors for a moment, then looks to her again, shaking his head. "No, but they will be soon. If you want meanwhile you can go around and look at the place. It's quite spectacular here."
She looks left and right at the place, shrugging a little. "That sounds good, but I don't know anyone here. Maybe I should mingle a bit."
Tristan checks himself before he goes over to greet Miho. "Alright, it's showtime." He starts walking toward the two, smiling brightly. "Hi, Mi-- AHH!" Quickly the perhaps clumsy one trips and falls to the ground, falling flat on his face. "What the f--" His mouth gets muffled all of a sudden.
"Sorry, Tristan, but I'll take this one!" Duke walks forward, his foot finally getting off of Tristan's head and mouth as he goes over to Joey and Miho. When he gets there he takes her hand and kisses it lightly. "Hello, I believe we've never met before."
She blushes a little, turning to Joey for help. "Umm, do you know who this is?"
Joey nods slowly, sighing a little as he senses what's going to happen after seeing the trampled and nearly unconscious Tristan. "Unfortunately I do." Joey says under his breath for the moment. "Miho, this Duke Devlin. He's the guy helping me out with this wedding. Dice boy, this is a long good friend of mine, Miho."
Looking up from the ground, Tristan notices what was Duke doing. His face turns red in anger instantly. "How dare he--" Again his head gets trampled by someone else's shoe. Standing up, he holds his head in pain and starts to walk over to where he was concerned with. "Man, who wears golf shoes at a thing like this?"
She nods a little, smiling a little nervously as she sees Duke looking straight at her with a sparking set of eyes. "Nice to meet you... I'm going to get some appetizers... From over there..." Points to a table at the other side of the hall. "Far, far away from here. I've had enough mingling for one day." She quickly removes her hand from Duke's grip and walks off.
"Oh, Duke... Us, talk, NOW!!!" Immediately Tristan grabs Duke by his tie and drags him out away from the party.
Looking at Tristan dragging Duke, Joey sweatdrops and shakes his head, laughing nervously. "Hey, you two! Don't be getting drunk and jackin off together!"

"Are you sure this is the right place?"
"Of course! I followed the car right!"
"You better make sure of that! Yesterday we followed the wrong car in which the emperor was inside! Who knew that royalty could give out restraining orders?"
"Yes, it's called 'security threatening your life'!"
Standing outside of the place two people were hidden in the bushes. One of them is looking at the place with binoculars. Because of the night sky over their heads, it was hard to tell who they were. "How dare he didn't invite us at all!"
"He he he, we're getting in there one way or another."
"What do you have in mind?"
"First we need to make sure we have the right place and people."
Grabbing the other person's binoculars, the person looks at the people coming in and out of the place. The one thing that he notices is that the binocular was rather heavy. After a minute, from the bushes there was something purple there. The one that had the binoculars had the strap around his neck is now on the ground choking and coughing as his face changed colors, the strap pulling tightly on his neck. "YOU'RE CHOKING ME!!!"

"You always have to be the player. What the hell were you doing looking at Miho like that? You barely even know her! You trampled over my face just so you can kiss her hand!"
"Oh, and tackling me aside to kiss Serenity on her cheek isn't? You started this!"
Tristan and Duke both are standing in an elevator. The doors start to close slowly, as they were there and one other person that they didn't notice. Meanwhile the elevator went up, calm and soothing waiting music plays from the speakers, making the two more irritated and shortened their temper.
Tristan points with his finger straight, pointing to what he thought was his opponent. "Hey, you keep your dirty hands off of them!"
Crossing his arms, Duke leans back against the wall. "Why, so you can have both of them to yourself!? I may not know one of them well or the other not speak to them for a long time, but I don't think they would like the idea of sharing a man! We can only have one each, so if you or I pick one, then there will be one other one left. It's a win-win situation. The real question for you is, do you know which one you really want?'
Tristan glares at Duke with his eyes very narrow. Just then a small ring tone plays over and over again. Reaching for his pockets, Tristan takes out his phone, looking at it, then his rival. He presses the power button, turning it off and placing it in his pocket. "Alright, Devlin. You want a challenge? I'll give you one. This is war from here now until Joey gets married."
Both look at each other, seeing who they are up against. As the elevator stops and the doors open, both start to walk out of the elevator.
"Have fun, you two." Both Tristan and Duke freeze at the voice. They turn around and looks left and right, seeing nothing. "Down here." They both look down and notice that Yugi's grandfather, in his usual game shop costume and with a cane, was in the elevator this whole time.
"MR. MOTO!?" The two fall back anime-style, sighing as they realize this secret competition wasn't such a secret anymore.
The elder one sighs, pressing the button on the elevator for the top floor. "I don't care if they're grown enough to drink, own a home, and get married. Yugi and his friends will always seem like kids to me."
