Chapter 1: "Prepare for culture fest!"
Ryoko sat at his desk for another long boring day at school. He let out a sigh as he looked out the window at all his fellow students filing into the school and heading to their appropriate classrooms. Culture fest was fast approaching and would be there in before they knew it. His class room had voted a week before to do a duel monsters café. Each student was to bring there favorite duel monsters card for display as well as wear a costume to invite people into their café. Ryoko didn't have to think very hard to choose his favorite card the "Dark Magician Girl". Ever since purchasing the card from a small card shop in town he felt a strong bond with it. In the shop, it seemed to call out his name, wanting him to buy it. Once bringing the card to the counter he remembers the strange shop keeper telling him this "This card seems rather fond of you, young man". He wondered how in the world a duel monsters card could be fond of anything... it was just a card right? Crazy old nut he thought to himself and left the store.
School was about to begin and the students filed into their seats awaiting the teachers arrival and study sheet for their final exam coming up in the next week. This was all their senior year in high school and the test would provide them with a list of appropriate colleges if they were to further their education. Their teacher Mrs. Sakuta walked in to her classroom casually and dropped a load of papers on her desk with a loud thud. "Ok class, today is your practice exams to help prepare for you the real thing at the end of next week, these tests will show what subjects you need to study more on in order to achieve a decent grade on the real deal." The class as a unison sighed and dropped their head to their desks. Ryoko did the same, he hated tests much less practice exams, they were too long and confusing, but it was good help he thought. He opened his pencil box and grabbed a sharpened one. The teacher came around and passed out the practice exams to all the students and returned to her desk where her eagle eyes were watching all the students for cheaters. Ryoko stared at the test, not even knowing where to begin; he flipped through the pages filling in random questions that he knew the answers to. He then started from the beginning and took his time, thoroughly reading each question and putting down the answer he thought best answered it. A couple hours passed until everyone had completed their test and turned them in.
With that out of the way the class turned its attention to the culture fest coming up on Friday. "As we all know, the culture fest is in 2 days" Mrs. Sakuta exclaimed. "Tomorrow we will spend all day setting up our room into a wonderful looking café, boys you will do the decorations and tables, girls you will prepare the meals and drinks for customers." Everyone in the class nodded in agreement. "We have received a very special gift from Kaiba corp. It's a newly designed Holographic duel monsters projector, when you bring your cards in on culture fest, please place them on the control panel and a holographic life size image of your monster will appear. This will be sure to attract the customers to our room. Since they are only holograms no one will actually be in any real danger, even though your monsters may look frightening, or cute, they will move around and explore the school with no one in real danger. Perhaps give your monster a sign to hold to promote our café, or have them as greeters at the door. Well that is all class; you are free to head home for the day and make your signs and prepare for set up tomorrow." The class got up and left the class and all headed for home.
Ryoko was walking down the street to his home where he lived alone. His parents had moved out and allowed him to keep the house as long as he paid for it. He liked attending school here so he thought it best that he should stay and so he did. He unlocked the door to his house and walked in shutting the door behind him. He flipped on the light switch and walked into the kitchen to pour him some tea he had warmed up before school. He took a sip and smiled; it was warm and felt good. "Now… time to work on my poster for our café." He said aloud. "Maybe Ill have magician girl hold it for me, I'm sure she'll attract a lot of attention… for all the wrong reasons though" he laughed a little and went the closet and grabbed a poster board. Writing really big letters on it "Welcome to Class 105's Duel Monsters Café" he smiled, "Yea this out to attract people if I let Magician Girl hold this outside the front door. He walked to his dueling case and opened it to reveal the blonde haired green-eyed beauty at the top of his deck. He slowly took the card in is hand and looked at it. "Hehe, she is rather cute isn't she?" he said to himself. He put the card back down gently on the top of his deck and closed the box back up. Ryoko decided to call it a day and then hit the bed.
