TCG- Ok, peoples, I have a lot to say right now. First off, I have a burnt hand, which is why it's taking me so long to update.

Yugi- How did you burn your hand?

TCG- Ok, here's the story. We went to a Mini Bike Reunion, thingy. blinks as she tries to think about what it is Well, anyway, my bike stalled, (a mini bike is sort of like a mini motorcycle, just so you know) so my dad went to start it, since I can't pull the start -.-; So, I was holding up my dad's precious Rupp, when I hit the, er, twisty thing that makes it go. Not wanting to drop the "almighty mini bike" I went to grab the brake, but instead knocked down the thing and my hand hit the exhaust pipe. And this is what happened holds up hand all in bandages .

Yugi- Oooh, ouch!

TCG- I am lucky I didn't get a finger ripped off! I mean, all the gears and things, I could just as easily hit those!

Yugi- O.o I AM NOW OFFICIALLY SCARED OF MOTERIZED THINGS!

TCG- Well, I thought it was pretty funny. I didn't get hurt the whole time going, like about 40 miles an hour, through slippery mud, and I get hurt when I'm standing still.

Yugi- O.o!

TCG- Okay, next order of business...um, sorry about the miss-spelling of Bokura. I'll change the spell check thing. changes spell check thing I like the word "thing"...sorry, random self note.

Yugi- O.o!

TCG- Last thing! I have a homepage on neopets.com, that I would like you to visit. Please go here (copy and I need referrals and votes, and don't worry, it has practically step-by-step instructions.) I am just saying that you can visit it if you want, which I would like you to do. If you do I'll put your name in my "Winner Peoples" Section of my Bio! And I'll advertise your names on neopets too! Please and Thank you!

Yugi- O.o!

TCG- Yugi's taking this harder than I am!

Yugi- O.o!

TCG- I guess I'll just have to say the disclaimer myself than...

Yugi- O.o!

TCG- Uh, oh! This is bad! That usually works! Time to bring out the heavy artillery! pulls out a Kit Kat bar If this doesn't work, I don't know what will!

Yugi- O.o, -.-, O.o! (he blinked)

TCG- Uh, well he blinked! Also, I know I don't usually respond to reviews (cause I just can't be bothered, but I really wish I could!), however I sort of do need to respond to this one. I believe her name thing is YugiLover, and she told me that I spelled Yugi's last name wrong, which is kind of freaky cause right before I got it, I realized that. But she also told me his b-day and age and stuffs, and not that I don't believe her, but I would like to say I am going to still be using what I made up, since other wise it wrecks my whole story! Also, what was the website you found it on? Okay, I am sorry that took so long, but it had to be done.

Yugi- O.o, -.-, O.o

TCG- Yay! Yugi blinked again! Well, anyway, here's the disclaimer: I don't own YuGiOh, or Kit Kat bars. I own Alexa. If I did own YuGiOh, she would be in it. Oh, I wish Yugi could say the disclaimer! This Kit Kat bar should cheer me up! prepares to eat it

Yugi- NOOOOOO! KIT KAT BARS ARE MINE!!!!!!

TCG- Yugi! You're moving again! hugs Yugi

Yugi- Can't...breathe...help!

TCG- Sorry! let's go

Yugi- You are really strong, did you know that? rubs arms which are now bruised

TCG- No, but that's cool! Anyway on with the story!


Alexa watched as everyone's soul returned to where it belonged. She was feeling accomplished, not because she won the duel, which was easy enough, but because she was sure that she had earned everyone's trust, well, almost everyone. Teã and Tristan never actually came into the duel, which meant that they hadn't seen any of her near-hero action. She wasn't about to call herself a hero, since all she did really was get sacrificed and say "Attack his life points!" She hoped at least they would treat her better. Keyword: hoped. Alexa than turned as she heard a gentle rustling where everyone was laying; Yugi was the first to come to.

Alexa- Yugi, are you alright?

Yugi- Huh? Yeah, I'm fine. But, um, Alexa...

Alexa- Yeah, Yugi?

Yugi- I'm not sure if the others will say this, but thanks.

Alexa- Thanks for what?

Yugi- Well, you know, saving us.

Alexa- Yuge, All I did was say "Attack", I mean, it was nothing that anyone else couldn't have done.

They both heard slight moaning. Bokura was the next to wake up.

Yugi- Bokura! Are you okay?

Bokura- Yes, I'm fine. But that evil spirit of the ring...he took over again! I thought Tristan got rid of it, but as soon as it's gone it and the spirit are back again!

Alexa- Well, everyone thought it was a dream last time...

Bokura- True, but do you really suppose that is what they'll think, for a second time? I mean, at battle city...

Alexa- Ooh, that's right. They'll probably think it was real...

Yugi- Unless, we act dumb and pretend like the whole thing never happened. I mean, the only one who was there besides us was Joey, remember? Everyone will just think he's crazy.

Bokura- That's a plan...

Alexa- I hope it works. Te's waking up...

Tea- yawns Did I fall asleep or something? I feel all drowsy...

Yugi- I don't know why, but you Tristan, and Joey all fell asleep.

Bokura- Uh, maybe cause it's almost 10:00pm?

Yugi- laughs That could be a reason.

Joey- Man, I'm beat! You know, I coulda swore I was in a shadow duel, dressed up as my Flame Swordsman! And, Alexa was there too. And the two Yugi's...

Tristan- Dude, what are you talking about?

Joey- That I think that there was a shadow duel, and Alexa was the one who saved our hides!

Alexa- Me? Hero? Now that's probably as far from reality as it goes...I'd never be able to save anyone.

Joey- All you did was tell us to attack, really...Come, on Yuge, you were there! Tell Alexa!

Yugi- Uh, Joey, I wasn't dreaming your dream...

Joey- Ah, man. Oh well, it probably was just a stupid dream anyways.

Tristan- Does anyone have any food? I'm starved!

Everyone(except Tristan)- No.

Tristan- I didn't think so...

So, after a little while, everyone had fallen asleep but Yugi and Alexa. Alexa was looking through a bag that had sort of just appeared by her, even though she knew it was her bag. Yugi, who hadn't said anything for a while, just sat there accompanying Alexa.

Alexa- What's wrong, Yugi? You looked worried.

Yugi- Well, with Bokura around I'm afraid to leave my millennium puzzle out. What if the spirit of his ring takes over and takes it while I'm asleep?

Alexa- I could hold it for you, in my bag. It's the last place anyone would look, at least.

Yugi- Uh, alright.

So, soon everyone was asleep. And the millennium puzzle was safe inside Alexa's bag. But in the midst of the night, Yugi awoke to a pulsing beat. He realized it was music, but who would be listening to music in the middle of the night? He yawned and got up, to see who it was. He ended up at a clearing, where he heard the words to a song...

feIf you change your mind, on the first day in line. Honey, I'm still free, take a chance on me. If you need me let me know. Could it be your round? If you have no place to go, when your feeling down... The song was very upbeat, and he quietly moved the branches in some bushes to see who it was...

If your all alone, no pretty person at home, honey I'm still free. Take a chance on me. I'm here now, and there's no line. If you put me to the test, if you let me drive...

... it was Alexa! Yugi couldn't believe it. He knew that she could sing pretty well, he remembered her saying to him afterwards she didn't like her voice, but her dancing was incredible. He blinked as Alexa failed to notice him...

Take a chance on me, take a chance on me... We can go dancing, we can go walking, as long as we're together. Listen to some music, maybe just talking, get to know you better. Cause you know I've got so much that I wanna do, when I dream I'm alone with you, It's my day. You want me to leave you there, afraid of a love affair. But I think you know, I can't let go.

Yugi, who was still half asleep, hadn't noticed Alexa gone when he left. Struggling to not fall asleep in the bushes, he heard the words more than he saw the dancing...

If you change your mind, on the first day in line, Honey I'm still free, Take a chance on me. If you need me let me know, Could it be your round? If you've got no place to go, when you're feeling down. If your all alone, With no pretty person at home, Honey I'm still free, Take a Chance on me. I'm here now, and there's no line. If you put me to the test, if you let me drive. Take a chance on me, Take a chance on me...

It suddenly struck Yugi, the words to the song, it was kind of what Alexa had been saying to him earlier, about her having to trust her that she wasn't evil...Yugi got back to where he had been sleeping, tired, and fell back asleep.

Meanwhile Alexa had thought she heard some rustling in the bushes, but also at that moment a breeze blew, and she figured it was that, and took no notice. When the music stopped, she turned off the strange little boom box she had found. It was funny, she thought, how little things like that sort of appeared out of nowhere. She shrugged and figured it was coincidence. She sat down panting, waiting to catch her breathe before she returned to camp. (PS I don't own the song, called Take a Chance on me by the Ateens)

Back at camp, however, there were five men who were dressed all in black, and looked like FBI agents (for those of you who aren't getting it, there basically guys like the ones in the battle city tournament who judge the duel, Kaiba's attendants. But, that doesn't necessarily mean that these guys are Kaiba's...). They were whispering to one another.

Guy-(I am making up names like guy and dude, because I don't know what to call them.) So, who are we supposed to get?

Dude- We were given orders to capture 5 kids from this spot counts Yup, this is the one. Guy- Alright, move in, men! all five of them rope up Yugi, Bokura, Teã, Tristan, and Joey, covering there mouths so they can't yell for help

Pegasus- chuckles Very good, now to finally defeat Yugi Mutou! puts everyone's soul in a card thingy Now, to ensure that they won't be reunited with there bodies, we will leave there soul cards here. drops the soul cards

Dude- But Sir, aren't the souls the important part?

Pegasus- Yes, but however since I just want to defeat him, I will take the bodies so they can do house work chuckles I mean, they don't need to be paid. Now, let's leave this dreadful place and return to the castle, shall we?

Dude, Guy, and all other peoples- Yes Sir!

As they left, Alexa came back, too tired to realize no one was there. It took until morning for her to find out. However, during the night, Pegasus and his partners in crime realized one thing missing...

Pegasus- Where on earth is Yugi's Millennium Puzzle?!

Guy- Sir, it wasn't captured last night when we captured them all.

Pegasus- Oh no! That was the whole point of our little expedition!

Dude- We could search the island for it, if you ordered sir.

Pegasus- No, that's alright. Something tells me it will come to us...

Dude and Guy- ?!?!

Now it was morning, and Alexa woke up, quick to realize that everyone was gone.

Alexa- Ah! Everyone's gone! Oh great, now what do I do? I have no idea where... spots soul cards on the ground they are. Oh no, it was Pegasus! I couldn't stand up to his Millennium Eye! Because the two things that helped Yugi win his duel against him I don't have: A spirit to play mind shuffle with, and friends to support me. And since no one likes me...oh why me!? absent mindedly places cards on duel disk, and begins to cry

Yugi- Uh, what happened?

Alexa- screams Yugi, you're...you're...

Yugi- I'm what? What's going on here?

Alexa- grabs all the soul cards except Yugi's Your soul got captured by Pegasus! But the duel disk...you're a...

Yugi- anime fall I'm a hologram! But that's not the only thing that went weird...

Alexa- Whatdaya mean?

Yugi- Um, you might want to look at your reflection.

Alexa- Uh, all right...

Alexa made her way to a gently flowing river. She peered in. And...

Alexa- screams Oh man...I'm...I'm...a cartoon!

It was true. Over the night she turned completely animated. She almost looked completely the same, but there were some subtle differences. Her eyes, normally a greenish gray, were now a brilliant shade of purple, like Yugi's. But that wasn't the only relation to Yugi she had made. Her eyes, as a human they were a nice size, but now they were big, innocent eyes. Her out fit hadn't changed at all, but her hair did. It was still blond, but it had a slight wave/crimp combination in it. The tips had a bright red color on them, something she always had thought to be cool, but was never allowed to do. However, the blondness of her hair hadn't changed. Maybe a shade or two lighter, but it wasn't so obvious. Alexa smiled at her reflection. Her face was as innocent as Yugi's, but just like him, the way she dresses stated otherwise. She loved it though, maybe the red tips should go...but they went with her out fit, which was still made up of a giant white shirt, black sweat pants, some black boots, and a black sweater jacket. Well, it was...animated, at least she would blend in now.

Yugi- Earth to Alexa! Are you okay?

Alexa- Yeah, I think...

Yugi- Wait! Alexa, do you still have my millennium puzzle?!

Alexa- Oh no! I forgot about that! We'd better go check!

They both scrambled back to the spot where Alexa and everyone had slept. Her back pack thing was still there, and it looked un touched. However, Alexa failed to slow down to opening the bag. She sighed in relief as she pulled out the genuine, unharmed, puzzle. Yugi sighed in relief as well.

Yugi- Well, contrary to Joey's remark, looks like you kept your word!

Alexa- What do you mean, Joey's remark?

Yugi- Well, Alexa, last night, you were the first to fall asleep. And everyone was saying, how, well, you were just acting and were going to turn on us at night. I was-and am- the only person to disagree. I'm sorry, Alexa.

Alexa- It's okay, Yugi. They don't trust me. They have good reason too. Oh well. Yugi, uh, how are you going to hold the millennium puzzle, since you're a hologram?

Yugi- I...uh... holds up finger like he's about to say something good I have no idea.

Alexa- Man, this is bad. We have to get your bodies back somehow...

Yugi- We?

Alexa- Of course, you don't except me to do it, do you?

Yugi- sarcastically I'll be sure to help a lot as a hologram.

Alexa- I know! How 'bout this, We'll convince everyone that you're going to save everyone! And pretend that you're real, and I'm the hologram.

Yugi- What good'll that do?

Alexa- Well, since none of your friends like me, you'll get even more credit. And they won't hate you for "leaving there lives in the hands of a human"!

Yugi- No, it's just a waste of time.

Alexa- You're right. Besides, how would that help us get your bodies back? Well, how do we get your bodies back?

Yugi- You'll have to beat Pegasus, in a duel.

Alexa- Me?! No, I couldn't. I don't stand up to him with the millennium eye!

Yugi- You only need...no wait, you can't do that...(referring to him and Yami)...You have...wait, no you don't (referring to his friends). Well, good luck Alexa! Gotta go!...

Alexa- Yugi, come on! I can't do this.

Yugi- Alexa, you're our only hope! Please, it's better a chance than none at all.

Alexa- I guess...but, what about the puzzle?

Yugi- I can't take it. I guess you'll have to hold on to it.

Alexa- puts on millennium puzzle Ok. Man, I hope I don't screw up...

Yugi- Alexa, promise me one thing though...

Alexa- Yeah?

Yugi- If you lose...destroy the puzzle...

Alexa- But, Yugi!

Yugi- Alexa, I'm the only one who can solve it. If I am caught in a soul card, no one can use its power...

Alexa- But the world will be in danger, then!

Yugi- No, actually, it's almost as good as if you win the duel. Pegasus and everyone will want it put together, so they'll release me from the soul card. Of course, I won't do anything until they release everyone else. Than, when they're not there, we'll all escape.

Alexa- That is the craziest bunch of wishful thinking I've heard. But I like it! Now, lets go get my soul captured and get started...

Yugi- You have to duel him first.

Alexa- Wha-huh?

Yugi- Yeah, like this'll be convincing: says in a mocking voice "Yeah, I'd like to get my soul captured because I think it'll be fun!" stares at Alexa disapprovingly

Alexa- sighs You're right. I'll go. But I need an excuse to get into the castle.

Yugi- I've got just the thing...

AT THE CASTLE...

Alexa- runs up at the door

Guard Guy(G.G.)- Stop it, right there! You need an invitation to enter the building!

Alexa- Are you serious? How can you stand being out side, are you wack?

G.G.- What are you talking about?

Alexa- What are you talking about?! It's all over the news!

G.G.- What is?

Alexa- sighs The rabid raccoon family that was left on this island?

G.G.- There is no rabid raccoon... theres an unplanned rustling in the bushes

Alexa- assumes it is part of the plan Yup, I'm really lying! real rabid raccoon family pops out of bushes

G.G.- into walkie talkie thingy Everyone inside! There's a rabid raccoon family!

Alexa- thinking What a sec, a hologram couldn't...eep! They are real!

G.G.- opens door, runs inside

Alexa- follows G.G.

INSIDE THE CASTLE...

Alexa looked around the castle, since no one seemed to notice her entrance. But, when she was caught on a security camera, she was caught by some of the attendants. She broke free of them twice, but each time absent mindedly running into more. Finally, she was too exhausted to escape, so they dragged her to Pegasus, who wasn't surprised by his visiter.

Alexa- Let go of me, you freaks! attempts to kick one of them

Pegasus- Release her, as she requested. She is our guest.

Alexa- Pegasus! I am...

Pegasus- Alexa Laurie Van Vliet. Here from the human world to save your friends. I know, with the...

Alexa-...amazing power of your millennium eye. I know.

Pegasus- Oooh, a feisty little one, are we?

Alexa- I know you know why I'm here. Unlike the others, I'm not scared of your powers.

Pegasus- Oh, but you should be. Unlike Yugi-boy by whom I was defeated by the powers of his puzzle and his friends, you have none!

Alexa- On the contrary, I know that just because you know my cards, doesn't necessarily mean you can always counter them. Pegasus, your fright tactics will not work on me. thinking What am I doing, asking him to go super hard on me?!

Pegasus- If it's a duel you want, it's a duel you'll get! However if you lose, I will get your soul. And the millennium puzzle you now hold.

Alexa- However, if I win, you give me back all of my friends bodies back, and we all leave unharmed, with the millennium puzzle. thinking I want to make sure he doesn't pull something on me.

Pegasus- I'm offended, Alexa! You believing I would "pull one on you". But, if that's the case, fine. To the dueling arena!

Alexa- Pegasus, you're going down!

Pegasus- chuckles evilly
TCG- Yeahs, DONENESS!

Yugi- Are you almost done with your story, TCG?

TCG- Um, well after the duel, they'll only be a few more chapters left. So yes.

Yugi- Yeah!

TCG- Also, I would like to state that I typed a really awesome poem, called Hikari no Yami! Please read it, since it's really awesome!

Yugi- Take it from me, I read it!

TCG- laughs Oooh, hold on, I wanna say Peace out dudes in Japanese! Wheres my paper looks for paper FOUND IT!!!!

Yugi- How did you find out how to say it in Japanese?

TCG- A translator web site thingy, but I'm just warning you peoples it might not be exact. It gave lots of words for each word, except for out, so I just picked the ones that sounded the coolest!

Yugi- For all you know, you could offend someone who actually speaks Japanese!

TCG- O.o I never thought of that. If any of you people do speak Japanese, and what I say is wrong, please tell me!

Yugi- sighs

TCG- Yasuragi auto datesha!

Yugi- Uh, what she said! Peace out dudes!
