Hi there. This is your friendly neighborhood author, Yami Josh, here. Seeing on how I have to wait three days till I post a story, I figured I could write a decent one in that time. This is will be the shortest amount of time I have used to write a story. I hope you all enjoy my madness, err… I mean masterpiece.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! I wish I did…. Or at least some stocks…. Or maybe some pocky….I am hungry.

Title: A dream comes true.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi there. My name is Josh, and I am a novice duelist. I just got into the game 'Duel Monsters' and am embarrassed to say that I am hooked already. I go to school with some great duelists. For example, Joey was the runner up in the Duelist Kingdom tournament after barely beating Bandit Keith. He may be foolish and arrogant, but when push comes to shove, he somehow makes it through the odds. Then there is the owner of Kaiba Corp., Seto Kaiba. Seto doesn't have many true friends, except for his younger, and sometimes smarter, brother, Mokuba Kaiba. Not many people know his past, and he likes it that way. The only reason I know, and you might not believe this, but I was in the same orphanage as they were. So yeah, I kinda grew up with Seto and Mokuba. Finally, we have Yugi Moto, the king of all games it seems. He never losses. Last game I played with him, I found myself in some weird zone. He called it a 'Shadow game.' Anyways….

"Are you paying attention Josh?" A teacher asked with a raised eyebrow. Josh looked up with startled eyes. "I guess not. Now please pay attention or I will have to call your parents." The teacher said sternly as some kids oooohhh'ed at him.

"Yes Sensei." He said blushing a little. He always did that, daydreamed about playing duel monsters with the people on his favorite show. He wished he was with the crew every week, wanting to be in an adventure, wanting to be able to fight evil with Yugi.

Walking home one day, he took a different path home then he normally did. He didn't know why he did so, just a feeling he had to. As he walked down the street, he saw a little game shop. Why not stop in here and see if they have any good cards here he thought as he opened the door. "Hello? Is anyone here?" Josh asked. A strange man walked up from the back.

"Hello there. How may I help you?" The owner said looking at the teen. "Umm..yeah I was wondering if you had any Yu-Gi-Oh things…I am a collector." Josh said trying to sound professional. "Well, I have just one thing; it is a brand new VR game that allows you to seemingly jump into the world of Duel Monsters." The clerk said. "How much?" Josh asked curiously. "$50." "All right, but if I am not pleased, I get my money back ok?" Josh added in. "Okay. Here you go."

"I can believe that I got it for only $50. This must be my lucky day!" Josh said happily as he walked home. "Where have you been! You are a half-hour late!" His dad scolded as he walked into the house. He wasn't fond of anime. In fact, he hated it with a passion. "Don't tell me you were more cartoons." His dad added. "Dad, they are not cartoons." Josh said defending his anime pride. "They are Japanese animation. They are mostly story driven." "Meh, it's just another way of saying cartoon." His dad replied. Josh didn't feel like arguing with him at this time. He wanted to play his game. "Sure dad, whatever." He said as he walked into his room.

After reading the instructions, he had his VR system up and running. He put the game in, inserted his deck into the deck slot, and then turned it on. There was a bright flask, and the next thing he knew, he was in a VR world of Yu-Gi-Oh.

…or was he?

bows rapidly I am so sorry if I offend anyone with this. I will try to create a new chapter every month or so ((although this one took me 2 days)). So what did you think? Like, dislike, or neutral. Please review after reading. Arigato! –Yami Josh
