Joey stood and looked at the Yugi had lain out on his desk. He, Tristan and Tea were looking at the cards, listening to Yugi's explanation of how he had been invited to a Duel Monsters tournament in Duelist Kingdom.

Joey couldn't make much sense out of the five cards, but he could tell they weren't like the cards he was used to playing with. Each was decorated with a different picture.

"A tournament at Duelist Kingdom?" Tea said after Yugi had finished explaining. "Isn't that an island?"

"So that's where Pegasus is keeping your grandpa?" Joey asked. He was trying to keep his mind on Yugi's problem, but his mind kept drifting towards Serenity.

"Maybe. The only way to know for sure is to become a contestant." Yugi was looking at a card in his hand that had a picture of a ship on it. From what they could tell, it was a pass on to a boat. "The boat's going to be leaving in two days."

"But you can't go! It could be dangerous!" Tea said, looking worried.

"I have to go. "Yugi looked determined. "It's the only clue I have for rescuing Grandpa."

"I still can't believe it." Tristan said. "Pegasus used some kind of weird spell to grab your grandpa's soul away. And now he's toying with you, forcing you to duel in the tournament."

"Right. And without invitations we can't even go there with you." Joey said, his eyes scanning the cards on the table. "I wish we could help you, pal." It was true. Joey really did wish he could help Yugi. He knew what it was like to have someone you love snatched away from you.

"This is bad." Tea said seriously.

"Hey, Yugi." Tristan picked up a card off the table. The picture was one of gold and other treasures. "Check this out! According to this card, the tournament winner takes the grand prize of three million dollars!"

"Three mill?" Joey said, suddenly extremely interested. Surely three million dollars could cover the cost of Serenity's operation?

"So what, Tristan? Who cares about money at a time like this?" Yugi shrugged

"Hey, gimme that!" Joey reached forward and snatched the card from Tristan's hand, looking at it with a grin on his face. "...Three million..."

"Guess Joey does..." Yugi muttered to himself.

Joey knew he was being a little insensitive, but he knew he had found the answer to Serenity's problem. "Three million...in cold cash..."
