A/N I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or anything related to it. (Although it would be nice.)

A/N Thanks to you guys who reviewed so quickly. I have to admit, you caught me my surprise. And to thank you, here is an update. (And you can all thank Raquel for talking me into updating so quickly.)

Jamie, who had returned to her physical and mental norm, turned around and looked at Safiya. "Oh, Safiya, you're more beautiful than I imagined," she said, pulling the Egyptian queen into a warm embrace.

Safiya stepped back and looked Jamie in the eyes. "Jamie, how do you feel?"

"Well, I feel…" She dropped her eyes to the ground. "I feel kind of lonely."

Safiya placed a hand on Jamie's shoulder. "I won't ever be far from you."

"Thank you. Oh, I almost forgot. Let me see you in the light."

Jamie took Safiya's hand and led her to stand beneath a street lamp. Joey, Tristan, and Tea moved out of the way as the two came towards them.

"Oh Safiya," Jamie cooed. Safiya smiled and began to blush. "You're cute when you blush." Jamie looked to Safiya's face and noticed the hair covering her left eye. "When you first introduced yourself to me, one of the things you told me was that you were blind in your left eye due to a scar. I never forgot that, always wondering what it looked like. It's funny the things you retain when you're only seven."

"And you want to know what the scar looks like?"

"If you don't mind."

"No, not at all." Safiya gently tucked the hair behind her left ear and looked at Jamie.

After a few moments of silent observation, Jamie spoke softly. "How could someone have so much hatred within them to do this to another person?"

Safiya let the hair fall across her face again. "Jamie, as much as Seth hurt me, I have found it in my heart to forgive him and I have moved on." She lowered her voice to a soft whisper before continuing. "I accept my scars as the price I paid to be with Atemu, but you need not tell him that. You cannot harbor hatred within your soul, or you will be no better than Seth."

Jamie nodded her head and gave Safiya one last hug before sending her off. "Now, I believe you need some bonding time. Go, be with Atemu."

Safiya only smiled and gently nodded in agreement. She approached Atemu and took his hand. Hand in hand, the Pharaoh and his queen walked away from the small gathering.

Jamie, left behind, tried to fend off a shiver, but was unsuccessful. Yugi noticed the shiver and stepped toward Jamie, placing a gentle hand on her arm. "The Pharaoh mentioned that this is the first time you've been separated from Safiya. I heard once that 'constant companionship staves off loneliness' and no one can understand that better than you and I."

Jamie watched the retreating figures of Safiya and Atemu as they faded into the distance. "Part of me couldn't be happier, but another part of me misses her already."

"I know the feeling. When Atemu and I first separated, it was like part of me left." He paused, remembering the moment. "But hey, we're your friends, Jamie, and we'll do the best we can to at least partially fill that void. So what do you say we get out of here and get some ice cream?"

Her eyes brightened. "I'm starving, but about how about we start with dinner. And then we can have the ice cream."

Yugi laughed. "Dinner is good. We'll have dinner first, and then ice cream. Tristan's favorite diner is right around here, I think. We can go there."

"Sounds good. Oh, but what about Safiya and Atemu? How will we reconnect?"

"The Pharaoh has been here for a few years now, and he knows his way around. I'll just have them meet us at my place. Sound good?"

"Yea, thanks Yugi."

"No problem." He closed his eyes and mentally called out to Atemu.

Hey, Pharaoh, can you hear me?

Yes, Yugi. What is on your mind?

We're all going to the diner down the street for dinner. And I know that you and Safiya need some time alone, so if you could just meet Jamie and me at home when you two are all set, that would be great.

It's not too far to home from here. I think we can handle that. We'll see you at home in a few hours.

Okay, Pharaoh.

Yugi opened his eyes. "Safiya and the Pharaoh are going to meet us at my place in a few hours. It will be getting late at that point and we should be done at the diner by then. Is that alright with you?"

"Yes, it sounds wonderful."

"Then off to the diner we go." He turned and shouted to his friends. "Joey! Tristan! Tea! What do you guys think about dinner at the diner?"

They all rushed over. Joey shouted as he ran towards them. "Food… I'm absolutely starving. Let's go!" He neared them, and then kept running past them as he leapt into the convertible.

Laughing, Jamie, Tea, Tristan, and Yugi all followed suit and jumped into the convertible.

"Those two are so cute together. When we get to the diner Jamie, I want to hear their story and all of the details," said Tea.

"I would be glad to tell the story." Jamie beamed.

Tristan revved the engine of the convertible as everyone settled in, and they soon headed off to the diner.
