Author note: in the last chapter…….

All of us met with Yugi and co. ! yay! Anyway, let me explain what's going on. You see, although I'm posting this on my account, this story actually has two authors. It's me, TCGgirl124 and a friend of mine, Emily. You may be familiar with Alexa from my other stories, but Emily is fairly new. Rest assured, I'm sure you'll enjoy this story! Keep in mind, since both of us need to be together to type the stories, it might take a while to post chapters. Hopefully, you won't mind and will keep reviewing. Without further ado, here is the next chapter of our story!

In the sunroom…

Emily spoke randomly to herself "its an old one… oh well! I will watch it anyway!"

"Ooh! Look! It's me! It's me!" Joey exclaimed over hyperly, almost killing Megan who was sitting on the floor in front of him. "Oh darn it….they caught my bad side!"

"Do you even have a good side, Joey?" Alexa asked sarcastically.

"Hey, do you want to say that to my face!" Joey yelled back.

"She just did…" Emily corrected.

"Shh! It's on!" Yugi yelled as the theme song ended.

Duke began to sing the theme song, and then everyone stared at him. "Hey, it's a catchy tune!"

"Ooh! I love this episode! It's episode number fifty-three, the first YuGiOh episode I ever watched!" Alexa said excitedly.

"Does she have all the episode numbers memorized?" Yugi asked Emily.

"Only the ones she likes… and she only really likes the funnies in this one…" Emily answered.

They watched on to discover that it was the episode where Yugi forced Tea to take Yami around battle city.

"Hey…I remember that!" Yugi said, as Yami on TV said "Hey, Yugi! This isn't a duel!"

Everyone laughed. They had to admit that was pretty funny when Yami realized Tea had been staring at him.

"So…exactly how much of our lives do they show on here?" Joey asked suspiciously.

"Just about everything…but you guys going to the bathroom…" Emily answered. "Of course, we didn't see Duke until Yugi battled him…" She added, dreamily.

"Ooh! The PIGEONS!" Alexa yelled, laughing at the still frame that was on TV. Everyone else caught it in time to laugh as well. It was the one where Yami was being attacked by pigeons, and Tea was standing there laughing at him.

"Oh darn it…now all it is, is Tea being evil friendship ranter-ish…"

Joey, replying to Alexa's previous statement. "So, you understand our pain! HALLELUIAH!"

Emily, Alexa, and Megan all looked at each other. Who knew that they all deep down hated Tea so much?

Emily, reading Alexa's expression, answered. "I did!"

"Ok…so now that the funnies of that episode are over…who wants hot cocoa!" Alexa asked.

"Who's making it?" Duke asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, obviously not me if no one likes my cooking…" Alexa replied giving Duke a dirty look.

"Alright then, I'll cook!" Emily then added to Alexa, "Even though there's really no cooking involved." Alexa just two finger slapped her, her signature move.

"So…what are we going to do now?" Yugi asked.

"Hmm…" Alexa thought. "Well, since there's like, twenty of us,"

"Actually, it's six…" Emily corrected.

"Well, the six of us…" Alexa said again, "We might be able to go to The Encounter, on Main Street. It's a card shop…I think you'll all like it."

Everyone sounded excited. So, with a little coaxing from Alexa's mom, they began to walk down to the shop.

"So…the encounter is what again?" Duke hadn't paid much attention in the last two minutes, besides the fact they were going somewhere. He had been too busy playing with his earring.

"It's a card slash game slash manga shop!" Alexa said. "It's the coolest place to buy all stuff YuGiOh related…" She winced. Darn her and her short memory span. She was sure that Yugi wasn't quite comfortable under that title…

Yugi looked a little weirded out, then smiled at Alexa. She smiled back. Good, he didn't seem to mind.

That's, when the squirrel attacked…

"AHH! Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!" Duke yelled, running in circles, as a squirrel dangled from his ear. "It's got my earring!"

"Duck and cover!" Emily shouted. "Wait, that's for tornado's…AHH!" She then added, "Save who you can! Leave, leave LEAVE!"

Joey then dove in to Duke's rescue, grabbed the squirrel and took it off. "Don't worry! I took squirrel avoidance classes!"

Everyone yelled and ran from the squirrel as it got back up and went to attack them again.

"Quick! Everyone in the store!" Megan shouted as they all ran into The Encounter.

Meanwhile, back with Tristan, who just woke up in Alexa's basement…

"Hey…where did everybody go?"

Back with the others…

Everyone panted as they ran into the store. "Phew! We're safe!" Alexa moaned as they walked in.

The store clerk walked up to them. "Was it a squirrel again?" Everyone nodded. "Oh darn it, that's the third time today…hey, do I know you?" He was referring to Yugi, who's face happened to be on all the card packs.

"Um…maybe…" Yugi answered, not sure of what to say.

"He's a big fan of YuGiOh…and so are they! They all got plastic surgery and weird hair cuts…" Emily said, thinking on her feet.

"Hey! What are you talking about! My hairs not weir-" Alexa covered Yugi's mouth with her hand, so all he could say was mumble.

"Don't forget Yugi, here you're all cartoons…" Alexa whispered to Yugi.

"Oh yeah, I forgot…" Yugi whispered back.

"I can hear you whispering…" The store clerk said in a loud whisper, and then added "It's rude to whisper, you know…"

Everyone laughed nervously, and walked into the store where the cards were. Emily and Duke walked to the dice section, and stared at the wall in awe with all the different dice.

Yugi, Alexa, Joey, and Megan all looked at the cards. Yugi and Alexa looked through the binders, and started to say "I have this one, and that one, and this one, and two of those…"

Joey said to Megan. "Geez, you'd think they'd have them all…"

"You can say that again…" Megan added.

"Wait! I don't have this one! I've been looking for this forever! How much is it!" Yugi asked the guy behind the counter. "I have a budget of about ¥10,000…"

The store clerk smiled. "You have that much money for a card shop!"

Yugi nodded. "Yeah…so how much is this card?"

The store clerk, figuring he'd get a good deal out of a kid with that much money, replied. "500 dollars, please!"

Yugi counted his yen, or the currency that he had on him. "Only that much! Wow, here you go!"

The clerk looked at the money, raised an eyebrow, and said. "Hey, what the heck kind of money is this!"

"Yen, why?"

"What country are you from!"

"Japan! Where else?" Yugi said, thinking he stated the obvious.

"Um, Yugi, we're in America…" Alexa said quietly.

"Oh…" Yugi said softly. "Well, in that case, where's the bank?"

"Right across the street…" The store clerk said, pointing.

Alexa escorted Yugi to the bank, wondering what he would do next to embarrass himself.

"Hmm…10,000 yen…that's about…" The bank lady typed on the computer. "That's about 588…"

Alexa stared at Yugi, who simply said. "What? I have a lot of relatives that give me money for my birthday…"

Alexa rolled her eyes. "I'll say…"

So then, they dodged the evil squirrel who was now throwing acorns at them, and got back to the shop.

"So…how much is that?" Yugi asked again.

The store clerk replied, realizing Yugi didn't have as much money as he thought. "Oh, it's about 1.50…"

Yugi struggled to count the strange money. "Huh?"

"Here, I'll do it…" Alexa answered, grabbing Yugi's wad of cash…"

Just then Emily and Duke walked up to the desk there hands full of dice of about twenty different colors.

"I'll pay first! Oh! Hey guys! How are you? Yugi? What kind of money is that? It is so uncolorful!" Duke said.

Emily replied, "What? Oh… that's right! Your from Japan! You need to exchange your money… well we should go to the bank before we pay… Alexa? Would you mind holding these dice for us?" they both held out there hands which contained about 100 die all together.

Alexa just stared.

Duke then said "what? They are on sale! And besides… we need to go to the hard ware store next! Or maybe… is there a craft store around here?"

Emily said "yeah.. the craft store would be easy to get to, after we go to the bank we can go quickly!"

"Why do you need to go to the craft store?" Yugi asked puzzled.

"To get supplies! We are making necklaces!" Emily said smartly!

"Well, don't take to long.. my mom is expecting us back in about an hour…" Alexa said remembering that she had time limits…

"Joey, are you gonna get anything? I think I can exchange your money at the same time as mine… would you mind?"

"that's all right wit me!" said Joey handing over his wallet that was pink. Everyone stared. "what? I lost mine! I had to borrow Serenity's!"

Every one just nodded.

About an hour later they were all back at the house rubbing the bruises they got from the three squirrels that chased them the whole way home. They were throwing acorns them at them the whole time.

"well… what do you want to do now?" Alexa asked.

"Duke and I are going to make are necklaces now!" she held up a bag filled with die and a bag of eye screws (screws that look like closed hooks) and chain. "We are going to put the screws into the die and then hang them from the necklaces!"

Alexa gave a sigh. "Ohh…goody…"

The two went off to work, and then Tristan walked in, still in pajama's, and his hair was all messed up. "You left me…"

"I knew we were forgetting someone…and then I was about to say something, then the squirrels attacked, and I didn't think anything of it!"

Tristan, obviously in a bad mood, took a few seconds before he said. "Darn squirrels…"

"So what did you do while we were gone?" Yugi asked.

"I slept…I didn't know what else to do…" Tristan replied.

"It's four pm, you could have watched TV…" Joey replied.

Tristan walked to the nearest wall, banged his head repeatedly, and said. "I couldn't find the remote…"

"Well…you could have just used the buttons on the TV…" Alexa said.

"What! You can do that! You must show me one day!" Tristan said excitedly.

"It's actually very easy…. I learned the technique before there were any remotes…" Alexa said.

"Wow…. You must be old!" Tristan said rather stupidly. Alexa two finger slapped him. "Ow" was all he said in a reply.

At that moment Emily and Duke walk into the room with necklaces on that look like chokers made of a chain with a million die hanging off.

"Wow, that was fast!" exclaimed Yugi.

"Well… once you get the hang of it, it is actually very easy and fun…" said Emily. "I even have die left over! I only used thirty, so I have about twenty left over…"

Duke replied "me too, I am glad that they were on sale! I mean… ten dice for a dollar! Where can you get a better deal than that! Whatever a dollar is…"

"No wonder you got so many…" said Alexa realizing that they had been smart shoppers.

"So… oh! Hey Tristan! I didn't know you were up! Alexa's mom said that you were asleep so I assumed that you had a cold… sorry we didn't wake you up…" said Emily realizing her mistake.

"So I guess I will finish the sentence that Emily started before she noticed Tristan in his uncleanliness. Sorry dude but you need to take a shower, your hair is a mess. And that is a new deal for you… anyway… what should we do now?" Said Yugi.

"Well I will take a shower now! See you soon! Hey… wear is the bathroom?" said Tristan leaving the room.

"Just take a right" Alexa and Emily said at the same time.

"Thanks."

"Hey do you have any video games?" asked Joey randomly.

"Video games? Where did that idea come from?" asked Alexa back.

"I duno I just feel like beet'n the crap outa computer anime dudes…" replied Joey.

"well if you are going to play video games I guess I will get some fresh air… I will be down in about ten or fifteen minutes…" Said Emily as she left to look at the sky filled with stars and a whole moon.

"well then! Who wants to play video games!" shouted Alexa as she led the group into the other half of the room where the TV was. "Ever played "Soul Calibur 2?"

"No…what's that?" Joey asked.

"It's a fighting game…where you combine martial arts, swords and shields, and just plain random stuff to win!" Alexa said, getting excited over it.

"Well, I win at anything with a fight involved, real life or video game…" Joey said proudly. "Show me what to do and I'll beat you at it…"

Two hours later…

"Aha! I win again!" Alexa yelled happily as she beat Joey for the 20th game in a row.

"Hey! No fair! You know more of what your doing!" Joey said defensively.

"I gave you an hour to practice in practice mode…you should have looked at his move's list!" Alexa said.

"I didn't know there was a move's list until 5 minutes before my practice time was up!" Joey failed at winning the argument.

"And Joey, not to rub it in your face, but she's beating you with a female character." Yugi said, laughing.

"Eh…don't remind me!" Joey said, wondering why his "mighty and buff" character was losing.

"Hey…where's Emily?" Duke asked, after noticing his dice loving companion was gone.

"Emily? Emily…" Alexa called. Her friend most likely was doing something as random as staring at her toes.

"Hey…where'd she go?" Yugi asked, realizing Emily wasn't coming.

"Hey…what are you guys yelling about?" Megan had fallen asleep on the couch, and had just woken up.

"Hey Megan, have you seen Emily?" Alexa asked her sister in almost a threatening tone.

"Last I saw her she was staring into space outside…" Megan answered, and seeing an Oak tree said. "Maybe the squirrels abducted her…"

"Ack! We've got to find Emily!" Alexa yelled. "I mean, she's my best friend, she's got to be somewhere!"

"Don't worry…we'll find her…" Yugi said, trying to calm Alexa down, even though you could tell he was uncertain.

Alexa's mom called down from upstairs. "Time for bed, you guys!"

"Great…now we can't even go look for her!" Alexa said, forcing herself down onto a sleeping bag.

"Well…what would Emily do in this situation?" Yugi asked.

Alexa had a sarcastically serious face on. "She'd probably sleep until at least 10 am without any hope of waking her…"

"Well, it's best we get our rest…we'll need all our energy tomorrow to find her…" Joey said.

They all quietly went into a restless sleep…

An hour later…

Alexa sighed and sat up. She couldn't sleep, not when her best friend was lost. She heard a rustle and Yugi sat up as well. "Can't sleep?" She asked him.

"No…especially not when you aren't…" Yugi was glad it was too dark for her to see him blush.

Alexa smiled. "Yeah, but I can't help to think that there's more to this that we don't know…"

Yami appeared at Yugi's side. "Whatever it is, we must be careful. Who knows what could have happened to her?"

Alexa sighed again. "It's not fair! She shouldn't have been abducted by squirrels or whatever! I mean…oh, I don't know!" Alexa was getting really upset by it all.

"It's ok Alexa, we'll find her."

Alexa was silent for a minute. "Are you sure?"

"I promise."

Alexa smiled. She knew that whenever Yugi promised something, he kept to it. "But…what it…what if maybe she's not even here? In our world, I mean? And she's…" Alexa gasped. "What if she's in cartoon world, or whatever you want to call the place you're from!"

"Then we had better figure out a way to get there…" Yami said.

"Where ever that is…" Yugi added sadly.

Yami thought to himself. I wonder if Alexa herself might be able to bring us back…I'm sensing something much more powerful than either her or Yugi know…

I heard that…

Oh…

Don't worry…I'm sure Alexa can't hear us…I mean…I know she can see you, but I doubt that she's really…well…I don't know…

Alexa looked at the two, deep in thought. "Are you doing one of those weird talking in your mind things again?" Alexa asked. "Cause it looks really freaky…"

"Sorry…" Yugi said.

Yami stayed silent. What if Alexa really had some kind of "millennium power"?

To our dear reviewers! This is our disclaimer and our review answer questions thingy! As you can tell this is the second writer and not your beloved TCGgirl124 sorry but I think it might be funnier this way even though all of the funnies including the toes jokes was your dear TCG's idea. Now for the disclaimer!

We do not own Yu-Gi-OH! Or any of the characters in it. Also we do not own "Soul Calibur 2" or any games like it. Sadly. However we do own Alexa, Emily, Megan and this story line. Please do not use these characters without our permission first.

Thank you

Now on to the reviews! Oh yeah for future reference sorry but the character Sonic will not be used in our story sorry for the inconvenience.

Aiko- thank you and hear is the second chapter. Sorry it is taking forever but as it said in the beginning it takes the both of us to make a chapter and because of random stuff we don't see each other a lot. And thank you I hope you like the funnies in this chapter, I don't know if they are as funny as the previous one but we tried. Well not really we sat here and laughed the whole time….

Armageddon flame- sorry I don't think any characters will be arriving soon. They may come in other ways though… and thank you.

Prince Izzy X- thank you I hope you keep reading and enjoy this chapter and the next!

Yugirules- first thing first I LOVE YOUR SCREEN NAME! (remember I am not TCG I am her friend who is the inspiration for the character Emily) well I hoped you liked the chapter as well! And thank you! I am glad you liked it!

Computerfreak101- thank you I am glad you liked it! And who is Malik? I was wondering… sorry for my stupidity… but thank you for your review!

Ice-Neko-girl – thank you! Ok here is the story.

This is in story format so it is kinda weird it is a short conversation between Emily and Alexa. Hopefully it will explain the Tristan incident.

"so when did Tristan come?" Emily asked Alexa.

"I don't know… I think he just kinda showed up…"

"oh.. I thought he was in a hi tech camouflage suit the whole time and then when we were dueling he changed so we could see him…. Or maybe he was placed in by aliens… or maybe he just came out of the sewer! But gasp maybe he is a squirrel in disguise and he just showed up and he is getting information to take over the world with! AHHH!"

"stop day dreaming… you know that could never happen Emily… I mean he came when you came back from your house right? Or… when did he come in?"

"I don't know… he is a cool character though… he kinda misses everything though… where is he now?"

"I think he is taking a shower…"

"oh"

So as you can tell we don't really know when or why Tristan came into the story… actually I do know but is was my fault so I wont tell you!

Ok I will. TCG and I were passing the story back and forth to get it done. I didn't realize that Tristan wasn't in the story and added him in somewhere along the line I am sorry if it confused you.

Well! That is the story so far! See you in the next chapter!

Emily: meow!
