"Why are you so surprised by this, anyway?" Terra asked as soon as Pegasus recovered from his little heart-attack, "Don't you know what the Eye does anyway?"

Pegasus, slumped in a chair and eyeing the floor between his feet, didn't answer right away. After a moment of thought, he sighed.

"I imagine this is where I get told, 'Why didn't I ask already?', correct?"

"Wow, you make my job real easy Peggy-kun," Terra grinned, "And just so you know, this is a huge, super-secret thing I'm about to tell you: the powers of each and every Millennium Item are the powers of its users. The Old Users, mostly. Get it?"

"…No."

Growling in apparent annoyance, Terra jumped up and then immediately plopped herself down on Pegasus' lap - ignoring his startled jerking in place entirely - and patted the silver-haired billionaire on the head.

"Well, I'll start with something easy…like the Millennium Puzzle!"

"Easy? Yugi-boy took eight years just to solve it…" Pegasus mumbled under his breath.

Terra heard him, though, and he was duly swatted on the head before she continued.

"Now, how many people wearing the Millennium Puzzle did you duel, Peggy-kun?"

'How does she even know…never mind, I DON'T want to know…' he thought.

"Yugi-boy, of course…" Pegasus said.

"…Well," he added after a moment's hesitation, "No, I suppose the Other Yugi-boy counts as well…two then?"

"And now, since even in this century, hindsight is 20/20 - 'm still not sure what those numbers mean though - what does that tell you about the Puzzle's power, Peggy-kun?"

This one took a little longer to contemplate. But finally, after Terra was yawning from boredom (loudly and right next to his ear, most unpleasant) and his head was hurting from thinking, a tiny idea blossomed in Pegasus' brain.

"Is it…that the Other Yugi-boy…is the source of power in the Millennium Puzzle?" he wondered.

"BINGO!" Terra squealed (also right into his ear, unpleasant and deafening), "Spirit in the Puzzle, spirit has the power, Puzzle just aims it! Even when spirit's not a spirit, power and puzzle stay the same."

"But what does that have to do with me?" Pegasus blinked.

"It's no mystery why I need to protect you Peggy-kun, no mystery at all," Terra laughed, "I said most of the old users were powering the Items. Not your happy golden Eyeball, though…its too small to fit anyone inside of! So it just made your psycho-ness work through it, but now you're big and strong and don't need the help anymore."

She patted his head again, and then vanished into thin air - as was usual.

"Not psycho, psychic," Pegasus muttered, before getting up and leaving the kitchen.

He wasn't exactly looking where he was going, so it was no real surprise that he almost immediately tripped over something. After recovering from the shock of his face-plant, Pegasus looked to see what he had tripped over.

Terra was there. She was sprawled on the floor, looking at something. He thought it was one of those miniature televisions that you could take around with you, but it wasn't. It was a strange disk-shaped object that was about the same size.

"Oh, there you are," she said, "Where've you been, Peggy-kun? The cool stuff is just about to start!"

"You only moved about four feet away," he replied, "And what, dare I ask, are you talking about?"

"This!" Terra snapped, shoving his head down so that he could see what she was looking at.

The disk was showing a picture of something, as if it really was a little television. And currently on display? Nothing other than a duel match between Kaiba-boy and Yugi-boy…boys.

But that wasn't what made Pegasus yelp in total shock. It was the very large blue monster and the very large - and long - red dragon monster that took up so much space they didn't even fit in the arena where the duel was taking place.

"The Saint Dragon and Obelisk!" Pegasus gasped.

"Yah-huh," Terra grinned, "I barely finished dealing with you before they came out - most excellent timing, if I do say so myself. This is gonna be so GREAT - they so completely HATE each other right now! There'll be monster-blood EVERYWHERE!"

"If Kaiba-boy's dueling, they're only holograms," Pegasus disagreed, "And he'd never traumatize his baby brother with all that blood."

There was a moment of silence. Then Terra and Pegasus both burst into giggles. (No trauma from the inventor of the Death-T, Tournament of Death Extraordinaire? What are ya, nuts?)

"Ooh, shhh!" Terra interrupted herself mid-laugh, "They're going! Go kick God-Monster butt, Sainty Baby!"

"Hmm, I think I'm rooting for Kaiba-boy on this one," Pegasus mentioned, "I'm a bit of a sucker for the underdog, you know."
