Chapter 8: Wristwatch Shadow Game
The next day was the first of the two day break due to the pricipal being out of town. Of course, there was plenty to do outside since it was nice and sunny out! That's when Liz noticed that her mom had left a note for her. It was requesting that Liz go downtown to a jewelry store to pick up a Z-Chrono for her Aunt Leia's upcoming 43rd birthday. Liz had read that these were quite popular, so she grabbed a peice of fruit and headed out the door.
Yami was interested in where they were going. "We're going to pick a gift up for my Aunt Leia. Her birthday is next week," Liz explained as she came to the nearest airbus stop. After a 15 minute ride, Liz ran up the broad avanue to the nearest jewelry store.
Sure enough there was a long line, winding along the sidewalk. Liz asked a woman in front of her, "Excuse me, but what's going on?" The woman explained, "There's a limited edition being sold today!" Liz nodded, and figured that Aunt Leia would like one.
It took a couple of hours, but pretty soon she had gotten one. That's when she noticed an odd looking man stealing watches from people's back pockets. He noticed Liz eyeing him, and let it pass. Just when Liz had paid up, her Uncle Han walked in, and said, "Hey ya, kid! Picking up a present for your Aunt?" Liz nodded, "Think she'll like it?" Han smiled, and ruffled her hair. Liz told him, "Could you watch this a minute? I need to throw away my apple core."
While Han had the watch in his back pocket, the weird guy pulled it out off Han's back pocket, and placed it on his left arm. Bad thing to, because Leia was there getting something for Han, and had just slapped him for losing her birthday gift! Liz had just walked out and asked, "What's going on?" Han didn't answer, as he was still looking for it.
That's when the collecter appeared from nowhere, and kicked Han in the shin! "OW! Lousy Imp," Han shouted, and tried to punch the guy, but Leia promptly dragged him away, unaware that her nine year old neice had seen the whole thing!
Liz noticed that the collector was heading for the basement. She followed him, before running after him, while brandishing her lightsaber! She was about to tear his jacket when he hit her hard, sending her lightsaber flying in the opposite direction. Liz hit the ground with a hard thud. Liz cried out, "Ow! Give that back!" Sh tried to stand up, but he gave her a good hard kick in the stomach, knocking the wind out of her.
The collector chuckled, and walked towards the door, only to discover that the door was locked! Just then, an omnious shadow appeared on the door, and suddenly, the room was filled with clock gears, and standing there was a high school kid with spiky hair.
Yami smirked at him, "Since you think its fun to hurt innocent children and steal watches intended for loved ones, we'll play a simple game. The winner gets to keep the watch. A pendulum will come out between the both of us, and we each take a turn stopping the time. The one who stops it closest to 10 seconds wins."
The collector smirked back, "In that case, I'll win, kid."
The game began. With every turn, Yami seemed to be more confident, while the coolector grew more cocky! Of course, it was soon over because Yami won. However the collecter complained that the round didn't count. So, Yami started a new round.
However, they both switched places. As far as the collector was concerned, the object of the game was to miss being hit by the pendulum. Unfortunately for him, he was hit by the pendulum.
After that, Yami calmly walked over to the collector and asked, "The watch?" The collector stared at Yami, "Not a chance," and grabbed onto Yami's arm, so Yami used the power of the Shadow Game to trick the collector into thinking his whole body was turning into a giant watch!
While he was hallucinating, the room returned to normal, and Liz reappeared, a bit bruised, but none the worse from the wear. Picking up the watch, she ran back upstairs to the store.
Meanwhile, Han was describing to the police what the guy looked like who had stolen his watch! Just then, Liz appeared, and shouted, "Uncle Han! Aunt Leia! I got the watch back!" Making her way through the crowd, she presented the watch to Leia. Leia smiled at her neice, "Liz, thank you! But you're bruised! Are you all right?" Liz grinned, "I'm fine, Aunt Leia."
After all was said and done, Liz went home, and wound up falling asleep as soon as she hit her bed. Yami didn't blame her, after all it was a rather stressful day, and she needed to rest. Pulling a blanket around her small body, Yami smiled, and kissed her on the forehead.
