A/N I'll keep it simple. I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh.

A/N The reviews have been kind of... well, waning, hence the reason that I've been slow in updating. If you read this, please just drop me a note. At this point, I don't even care if you say the story stinks.. although that will hurt my feelings. But it's better than feeling nothing, I guess. (I'm just messing with you guys.) But please, if you feel so inclined, leave me some love, or hate, if you feel that is the case.

Once they reached a relatively secluded area within the park, Tristan, Joey, and Tea moved aside, giving Jamie and Yugi some room as they prepared to summon their spirits.

Yugi closed his eyes and entered his soul room within the Puzzle, allowing the spirit of the Pharaoh to assume control. As this was happening, Yugi's appearance changed slightly. Yugi, now possessed by the Pharaoh, changed both physically and mentally. He was taller and his hair style had changed, becoming wilder. He also had more self-confidence now than before.

Jamie folded her hands and also closed her eyes, retreating into her own mind as Safiya came forth. The transformation was quick, and Jamie, now possessed by Safiya, changed both physically and mentally as Yugi had. Her short brown hair grew rapidly in length, until it reached her waist, and it turned a brilliant shade of white. Her now-white hair fell across her left eye, concealing most of her face. She also seemed to stand taller and had a much more sophisticated air about her.

Safiya opened her eyes and turned to the Pharaoh. "My Atemu, it is good to see you once again." Her voice had changed slightly, now having a slight Egyptian accent.

The Pharaoh stood motionless, save for a slight furrowing of his eyebrows, unable to recall the one who addressed him. "Atemu… I do not recognize this name. Who are you?" The Pharaoh's voice was deeper than Yugi's and it also held the wisdom of ages within it.

Safiya had come too far to let memory loss stand in her way. She introduced herself, hoping that he would remember. She bowed gracefully. "My Lord, it is I, your queen, Safiya."

When she addressed him as "my Lord," his eyes widened. "Safiya…" The name fell from his lips as he stumbled back into a tree for support. With one hand he supported himself, and with the other, he held his head. Safiya did not move, for fear that she would disturb the returning memories. Joey, Tristan, and Tea remained motionless, taking in the scene before them. The Pharaoh remained against the tree for a few moments before finally standing uneasily on his own. He looked Safiya in the eye and addressed her, with a half-smile on his face, as his wife. "Safiya, the next time you call me 'my Lord,' you will break my heart."

Realizing that he had remembered, Safiya ran to him and threw her arms around his neck. She did not kiss him, she just embraced him, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I have longed for this moment for five thousand years, Atemu."

He kissed her on the forehead and whispered in her ear. "It looks like we have an audience." He motioned towards Joey, Tristan, and Tea, who were staring. "Shall we go for a walk?"

"What about Jamie and Yugi?"

He paused for a moment, struck by the fact that she had remembered the two young people. "Well, using the powers of the Puzzle, Yugi and I have found a way to separate into two unique beings, yet we often choose to remain together. We might be able to do the same for you and Jamie."

"It would be the first time Jamie and I would be separated. Let me propose the idea to her." Safiya closed her eyes and addressed Jamie.

Jamie, Atemu has a proposal for us.

Yea? And what's that?

He says that he can use the power of the Puzzle to separate from Yugi and he might be able to do the same for us.

That's great, Safiya! We should totally go for it. I mean, you haven't seen the guy for five thousand years. I'm sure you have a lot to catch up on, and I'd hate to be a bother.

You are never a bother to me, Jamie. I would just hate to leave you in the background while Atemu and I catch up on things. You have your own life to live, and if we can separate, then you can go your way and I can go mine.

But… You'll come back, right?

Of course, Jamie. Of course I'll come back. Why would you even ask that?

It's just that… Well, you've finally found the Pharaoh, and now you don't really need me anymore.

Jamie, it was never a matter of me needing you. I loved you from the start as I would my own daughter. I would never leave you like that. I just… Well, there are some things that Atemu and I might… discuss, that you don't need to be exposed to yet.

Oooh, I get it. Say no more. I mean, you guys are married and all, right? I suppose you deserve your "alone" time.

So then you're okay with being separated?

For a while, yea. It sounds good to me.

Thank you so much, Jamie.

No problem, Safiya. Think nothing of it. Oh, and you know what this means?

No, what?

I'll finally be able to see you after all these years.

You're right.

Let's do this.

Safiya opened her eyes and looked at Atemu. "Jamie is looking forward to it. Just tell me what to do."

Atemu smiled. "Well, allow us to separate first, and then I'll see what I can do." And with that, the Pharaoh retreated into his soul room, allowing Yugi to resume control. When he had regained control, the nineteen year old said nothing; he simply smiled. He placed both hands on the Puzzle and a gentle glow emanated from within it. A light breeze began to whip around the small crowd and a shadow quickly stretched out behind Yugi, despite the dim lighting of the late afternoon. A few moments later, Atemu rose out of the shadow.

He looked just like Yugi, clothes and all. He even had the Millennium Puzzle around his neck, like Yugi did. He stepped toward Safiya and explained to her what she needed to do. "Now Safiya, I need you to let Jamie take control. And when I say so, all you need to do is step out of her shadow."

"But how am I to do that, to 'step out of her shadow'?"

"It's hard to explain. Just step away from her as if you were in control."

"Okay, I'll try."

Atemu turned to Yugi. "Okay Yugi, I might need your help for this. Jamie and Safiya are going to separate, but they've never done it before, and I don't even know if this will work."

"So you want me to go through the motions as if you and I were separating?"

"Yes."

"Alright Pharaoh, I can do that."

Safiya relinquished control to Jamie as the two young men placed their hands on their respective Puzzles and a gentle glow began to emanate from each. The glows strengthened until finally, Atemu said, "Now Safiya!"

Jamie's shadow lengthened and Safiya, doing as she was told, stepped out of it. The glows died down and the now larger group was left in the dim glow of the street lamps.
