So, It's over after this… sad…. But hey, now I'll have time to work on the way more fun prequel.:) Yeah, if you want to beta e-mail me or leave a review with you're e-mail so I can contact you. What ever is best for you because I'm the one asking the favor.

I will possible delete this story and repost the corrected version so you might have to watch out for that… if anyone is still reading this… not that I blame the people that stopped…

Now that Marik wasn't hanging over their heads any longer, the gang found they had an excess of free time as never before. Unfortunately Advanced Placement exams were coming up in two weeks and Carly, Bakura, Yami, and Alyssa had to catch up on three months of material in that short amount of time. Stressful doesn't even begin to say anything.

So now we have it, six adults sitting around Yami and Alyssa's living room not talking, not moving, barely breathing, they were concentrating so hard. The rest had called Ryou, Bakura, Alyssa, Carly, Yami and Yugi crazy and had gone out to the beach.

"It's no use, my brain is going to implode," Whined Carly. She had somehow managed to twist herself around so her feet were over the back of the couch and her head hanging over the edge with her binder in the air above her head, compliments of Ryou. "We should take a break."

"Only two weeks! And you guys missed so much school- no breaks!" Ryou said, slightly hysterical. Test anxiety evidence was written everywhere on his being, from his curling toes to his matted hair.

"Calm down man, it's only a test-" Bakura tried, but Yugi cut in.

"Ryou, have you even taken time to brush your hair in the last week or so…?" he asked in the nicest way possible.

"Heavens no! Every waking moment must be spent studying."

"Alrighty then," Alyssa clapped. "So it's settled." Ryou looked up at her with hope that she was about to quiet the others. "We're going out."

"Out?" Out in a time like this? Are you mad?!"

"Yes, I am at myself for not seeing how stressed you are. Let's go."

"Ow!" Carly shouted, ad Ryou had lost his concentration so much that her full three inch binder had dropped and hit the pregnant woman in the nose.

"Sorry!" Ryou apologized. Looking around, he acquiesced. "OK, I'll go. But where?"

"Anywhere that doesn't have pages of notes with in a hundred feet of it," Yami laughed. "So robbing the bank is out."

Cricket silence.

"You know… bank notes… aw never mind guys. And Bakura, don't looks so disappointed."

Said thief snapped his fingers in mock despair.

"The beach!" Alyssa cried. "I haven't been there in ages. The paleness…" she added woefully.

"In May?! Are you kidding? It's not even summertime yet," Ryou protested. "Personally, I don't' feel like having ice for toes."

Carly let out a little growl in the back of her throat." "When was the last time you went outside Ryou? Honestly, it's Florida. You can go to the beach for a Valentine's Day date. Got to love Florida…."

"I'll get out suits," Yami said to the others. Everyone kept spare sets of clothes at everyone else's house just for cases like this. It was like having a spare wardrobe. The girls appreciated this even more.

Carly slapped her forehead. "A bikini! I'm so stupid! I'm going to look so fat..." she whined, gesturing to her bulging abdomen.

"No you're beautiful," Bakura said, grabbing Carly in a kiss.

Everyone politely turned away and not so politely faked disgust at the mushy scene happening behind them. After waiting five minutes, they decided it had been enough time.

"Alright guys, this is Yami and my house, only we have the right to go further here."

Grudgingly Carly and Bakura broke apart.

"Are you kidding me?!" Alyssa cried. "I am NOT going in the water." She pointed venomently at said offending object. "Why would I want to do that?"

"Just because a shark bit you…"

"It's not that Yami."

"Then why?"

"Maybe the fact that the water is sixty degrees!"

"That's actually pretty warm," Yugi piped in.

"Yeah, if you're from Siberia…"

"Or Japan," Mai pointed out. "Sixty really isn't bad."

"Whatever," said the only native Floridian. "You guys go freeze your arses off. I'll sit here."

So while everyone else frolicked in the water, Alyssa laid on the beach watching the sea gulls overhead. /Watching them kind of reminds me of all those owls when I was seven…."(1)

Interrupting her thoughts, Yami walked over to his wife. "Well it's over."

"What is?"

"The year. We've been in Florida for a year, us foreign exchange students."

"Wow, it's gone by so fast," Alyssa mumbled laying her head on Yami's chest.

"And my citizenship papers came yesterday, so I never'll have to worry about being deported."

"That's wonderful! You didn't tell me that."

"It was going to be a surprise, so now we can live happily ever after," Yami said, grinning like a fool.

"One more thing about our happily ever after honey," Alyssa smiled sweetly.

"I'm pregnant."

Yeah, so the ending sucks… but I couldn't think of any other way to do it. Feel free to do a rewrite of this… It's hard to believe it's over. Wow. But hey soon I'll be going back and editing the chapters.

Look for the sequel during the summer.:D

Um, yeah I'm looking for someone to beta this for me (edit old chapters for anything) so if you're interested e-mail me at alycol14 (minus the spaces of course) also the sequel(s) and prequel(s) to this story will need beta'd soon, so mail me if you want to do that either.:D

Carly, Hannah and I are writing a story about a guy being turned into a girl (which will eventually be posted when it's finished, as work on it is so EXTREMELY sporadic) so if you have any funny ideas that relate to that, I would be oh so grateful to hear them.

Anyways, onto
