Chapter 1- Domino Airport — present day
"Good afternoon, passengers," a slightly static voice said over the intercom of the plane. "Please put your seats and tray tables in their upright positions. We will be landing in Domino Airport in thirty minutes. The current time in Domino is 3:30 p.m."
Somewhere near the front of the airplane, four girls sat in their seats patiently. Two girls were about sixteen years old, the other was fifteen, and the smallest one, staring longingly out the window was ten years old.
The youngest girl pushed her strawberry blonde hair out of her face so she could see outside the window. "Oh, wow!" she exclaimed as her light blue eyes widened. "Look at all those buildings! This place is so much bigger than our town in Egypt!" She turned to the girl next to her, who was bent over a very old book. "Saria! Stop reading those Ancient Egyptian annals and look! Look at this city!" the younger girl said as she constantly tapped the girl's shoulder.
The girl called Saria looked up. She moved long brown hair out of her face, revealing eyes identical to the light blue eyes of the little girl next to her. "Hmmm?" she mumbled, sounding like she was coming out of a completely different world.
The blonde girl rolled her eyes. "The city, Saria. You know, the one we're moving to?" she said, shaking her head. "Come on, look out the window once in a while. Don't you wanna see Domino?"
The brown-haired girl shook her head aloofly, as though shaking her self out of another world. She looked out the window and brusquely said, " Yes, Ryoko, it is very different from Egypt." Then she muttered, "Little sisters."
Ryoko frowned. "Oh well, I tried," She muttered, turning back to the window.
The other two girls on the other side of the aisle frowned as well. One of the girls looked over at Saria and flipped her long, black braid over her shoulder. "Saria, you've barely closed that book since Professor Hawkins gave it to you," she remarked, her brown eyes showing worry. "What's the matter?"
Saria looked up again. "Nothing is wrong, Nicole," she said. "Professor Hawkins wants me to continue work. Even if I am across the ocean."
The girl next to Nicole arched an eyebrow, her green eyes widening. "Well, yeah. But that doesn't mean you have to cut yourself off from the rest of the world." She shook her head and her shoulder length dark brown hair swayed from side to side.
Saria rolled her eyes. "Sarra, I'm fine. Really, I am. I just want to keep my work up to date," she said, once again turning back to her book.
Both friends realized that Saria was getting agitated so they changed the subject. "I can't wait to get to grandma's," she said excitedly.
"Yeah, I can't wait to see my aunt and uncle again. It's been so long..."she said smiling.
Ryoko briefly turned away from the window. "Yeah. Nicole, are you sure you don't mind me staying with you?" she asked.
Nicole laughed. "Of course. My Grandma loves children." Then her smile faded. "I just wish we weren't so far away from Domino so Saria could stay with us as well..." she trailed off.
Sarra nodded. "Yeah Saria. Oh, I forgot to ask. Did you find somewhere to stay?"
This time when Saria looked up she was smiling. "Yes, actually. Professor Hawkins talked to an old friend of his. I am going to stay with him and his grandson." Saria's smile widened. "And get this, his grandson is a student at Domino High!" she said excitedly.
Nicole smiled too. "Cool. Who exactly is the Professor's friend?" she asked.
Saria took a piece of paper from her bag. "Some one named..." she peered at it closely.
"Solomon Moto."
Attention Domino Airport." A voice called over the many intercoms. "Flight 130 from Cairo, Egypt has arrived on time at gate 15."
Téa Gardener turned to her friends." Did you hear that, you guys?" she asked excitedly.
One of her friends, Yugi Moto, nodded. "Yeah, it means that the Egyptian transfer student and her friends are here," he said. Her two other friends, Joey Wheeler and Tristan Taylor, nodded as well.
Joey looked thoughtful. "I wonda if de're duelists," he said in his very distinctive New York accent. "Dey are from Egypt."
Yugi shrugged. "I guess we'll have to see when we meet them." He said.
"Everyone seems very excited about this," a new voice said.
Yugi looked to his left. A spirit very familiar to him had appeared there. 'Yeah," Yugi answered, sounding a little surprised. "I though you would be too, Yami. They are from your homeland."
Yami crossed his arms. "Well, I am," he said. Then he looked contemplative. "Though, I do not know why..."
Yugi's violet eyes widened. "What do you mean?" he asked.
Yami frowned. "I do not even know these girls." He asked.
"So, I neither do I," said Yugi as he shrugged. " We are all excited just because these girls are from a new place. And hopefully new friends as well," he said in his usual bright voice.
Yami looked at Yugi and let a little smile creep onto his face. "Yes. I suppose having new friends is a good reason to be excited," he said.
Yugi looked toward the gate. "I just thought that you would be little more excited. After all, besides Ishizu, you don't have any other Egyptian friends," he pointed out.
Yami shrugged, "Perhaps. Though, the problem is, not many people know about the magic of the Millennium Puzzle. So, naturally, I don't have many friends.'
Yugi smiled. "Don't worry. One of the girls is coming to live with us. You'll be able to get to know her."
Yami nodded. "Maybe..."
Yugi's eyes suddenly brightened. "I have an idea!" he exclaimed.
Yami looked at him, amused. "What?" he asked.
Yugi smiled like he had thought up something genius. "We'll switch. We'll switch right now. That way you can meet her instead of me," he said.
Yami looked a little stunned. "What?" he said, surprised.
Yugi crossed his arms as he readied himself to explain. "Well, she doesn't know what I look like, so we'll switch now. Then, you can get to know her." he said. "Then once she is ready, we'll tell her about the puzzle."
For a moment, Yami looked at the boy with uncertainty in his eyes. Then after a second or two, he gave in and nodded. "Okay, let's try it."
