After the attack of the Great Leviathan, Tea loved Yami even more. Now, the Pharaoh and Tea are a family, for they now have a beautiful daughter.
"She has your eyes, Tea," Yami whispered.
"She also has your courage, Pharaoh," Tea replied. They decided to name her Melissa. Every night, Yami would sing her an Egyptian lullaby to her when she was about to fall asleep. Soon, when Melissa was two years old, Yami loved her very much. Still, he missed Yugi more than he loved his daughter.
"Are you sure you'll be alright, Yugi?" Yami asked that fateful day, the day he left his friend in his own body.
"Of course, Pharaoh," the boy replied, holding his hand. "After all, you now have your own body to use anyway you want to. You can do anything you set your mind to, I just know it." Yami nodded, and walked off into the fog, never to see Yugi again.
Suddenly, he heard the phone ring, startling him.
"Hello?" he asked, and a familiar voice rang out on the other line.
"Hey Pharaoh," said the voice of Yugi. "How's life treating you?"
"Just fine," the Pharaoh replied, smiling for the second time that week.
"So, I heard that you now have a daughter," Yugi continued. "I bet she's beautiful."
"She is, Yugi," Yami said. "She seems to have a little bit of my courage, like Tea said. She also has Tea's eyes and happiness."
"That's good. Listen, there's something I have to tell you. An accident happened a few weeks ago. It involved my grandpa, and a drunk driver."
"Is your grandfather alright?" Yami asked, Yugi's voice filled with sorrow.
"No, Pharaoh," Yugi whispered. "He died as the guy hit him, right where the game shop is. I saw it happen."
"I feel sorry for you, Yugi," Yami replied. "No matter what happens, we will always be together, in spirit."
"Thanks, Pharaoh," Yugi said. "I'll talk to you later. Bye." Yami nodded, and hung up the phone, upset that Yugi's grandfather died in the hands of a drunk driver. Now, he would give anything to help his best friend. He looked outside, and saw sunlight sneaking into the room. He decided to take Melissa to a ranch. He got her into their mini van, and drove off. A man in a cowboy hat, jeans, a plaid shirt, and boots greeted them just as soon as they got out of the car.
"Welcome to Dust Tornado Ranch," he whispered, giving them a smile. "The name's Walter Moore, owner of this place. Who might the little one be, and who are you, sir?"
"My name's Melissa," the little girl said, smiling.
"Pleased to meet you, young missy," Walter replied, tipping his hat.
"I'm known as Yugi or the Pharaoh around here," Yami whispered. "I wanted to spend some time with my daughter, riding horses." Walter nodded and led them to a stall filled with different horses of size and colors.
"I think that Spirit will be good for you, Yugi," Walter said, pointing to a buckskin horse, a bright sunny yellow with a black mane and tail.
"Daddy, I want that one!" Melissa shouted, pointing at a grey Arabian.
"Are you sure, Melissa?" Yami asked. "That one looks like he was raised to be mean."
"Please, Daddy?" she asked, her eyes glinting. Yami sighed, and nodded. Soon, they were in the pasture, side by side. Melissa smiled at her father, and he smiled back. Suddenly, Melissa pressed too hard when she wanted to canter, and her horse began to buck, hard.
"Daddy, make it stop!" she yelled, tears in her eyes. The horse then threw her high into the air, calming down as Yami stroked his nose. The Millennium Puzzle glowed, and the Pharaoh sent the Dark Magician to catch his daughter. As Yami was calming the horse down, the magician flew over to Melissa, and caught her just before she hit the ground. Shaken and scared, she rested in the monster's arms as they went back to Yami.
"Are you alright, Melissa?" he asked, gently picking her up from the Dark Magician's arms.
"Yes, Daddy," she replied in a shaken voice.
"It's a pleasure to serve you, my Pharaoh," the Dark Magician said, and disappeared into the Puzzle. The Pharaoh and Melissa went home, trying to forget about what had happened, but Yami knew that the event would scar Melissa for life. He sat down on the patio and pulled out a flute from his pocket. The notes filled that air as he played. Melissa got up from her bed, and walked outside to the beautiful music.
"That's pretty, Daddy," she said, the song sounding like, "Once Upon a December." She soon fell asleep as the last note was played. Yami picked her up, placed her in her bed, and kissed her.
"Sleep well, my child," he whispered, closing the door.
