Thank you all for reviewing!!! Here's the next chapter.

"Your honor, we have acquired and alibi for Joey Wheeler, and he was no where near the Kaiba Mansion at the approximate time of the murder."

The judge looked over the papers in his hand. "A plausible alibi, I suppose, but how can you prove it?"

Yugi Mouto smiled confidently. "We have a witness, two witnesses in fact." Mokuba cringed inwardly at the way Yugi strutted around the courtroom, his purple eyes glittering with confidence. It would be his first high-profile case and he was ready.

The judge 'hummed' a bit as he looked at the papers through his spectacles. He finally looked up and clicked once with his hammer. The court held its breath. "I believe a new trial is in order due to the presentation of new evidence. Court is adjourned."

Mokuba stood aghast, biting back his anger as the courtroom emptied. He over heard Yugi talking with his client.

"Oh! Thanks, Yug! I knew ya'd get me outta this!" Joey exclaimed wringing Yugi's hand. As you can guess, a change had taken place in Joey during his five-year incarceration. His dirty blonde hair had grown out to his shoulders and he was beginning to grow a very fine blonde beard. His brown eyes had sunk back in his head slightly by they were lit up with joy at their success.

Yugi grinned back. "You're welcome, Joey, but don't forget this is only the first step. We've still got a battle ahead of us."

A pair of hands suddenly snaked their way around Yugi's shoulders and he jumped, and then let out a sigh of relief as he turned around. "OH! Tea, dear, you frightened me!" He exclaimed as he embraced her gently.

Tea grinned at him and then she looked up to Joey.

"Hey Tea," Joey said pulling her in for a hug. Then he felt something sink into is lower leg. He looked down as he gasped and jumped away from Tea and met a pair of deep blue eyes. "Well," he said laughing. "Who's this little ankle-biter?" She spit her tongue at him and ran behind Yugi's leg.

"This is Cessia," said Yugi laughing as well. "Sorry about that, Joey, she's in the biting stage." He turned around to pick her up but she was no longer behind him. Yugi turned all the way and watched in horror as she tottered across to the other bench where Mokuba was talking to his attorney.

Mokuba jolted and turned as he felt the sudden sting of teeth to the back of his leg. He watched Cessia cry out and run back across the floor to her parents. "Meanie," she said, sticking her tongue out at him.

He glowered at the family, who were silently laughing at their child's antics. "Oh very cute, Mouto," he spat viciously. "Are you going to teach her to bark next?" He met an angry glance from Joey. A crooked smile found his lips. "Think you're going to get off, do you Wheeler?" He said. "Well, don't hold your breath. It's not going to happen." He turned suddenly through the swinging doors. His silver trench coat billowed behind him.

"Gee," said Joey, eyeing Mokuba's retreating form with sudden dislike. "Someone pissed in your Wheaties, I see."
