Hiya fans. This is chapter three of Yumi. But before we begin I'd like to tellypu a little story of this crazy dream I dreamt last night…

I dreamt that I was on a date with a classmate that bullied me in elementary school. He was taking me on a date to watch the University of Montana Grizzly game in his beat up car. When we arrived to the stadium I saw a stand that was selling items and nick knacks. I was looking at the items and I spotted nice small black wallet. The lady next to the stand said it was free so I snatched it before anybody else. Then I saw a small black backpack and I asked her if it was free. But she said it costs $17.00. I check my pockets to see if I have any money. Nada. Then I turn around to see if, the bully was next to me, but he was gone. Sighing I check the wallet I got for free and I saw $50! I showed the lady and asked if she wanted her money back, but she said no. I was so happy I bought the black backpack and put the wallet in the backpack.

Then I went in the building to find the bully so he can take me home. Instead of finding him I found my mom looking at the trophies hanging up for display. She sees me and shows me some jewelry she found while garage selling. So I come up to her and I put on the jewelry. Then mother and I go inside the stadium and the buzzer rings for the fourth quarter.

Bummed that I missed the game, and that the bully didn't tell me the game was going, I sulkily walk back to the parking lot. As I was walking mom asked my where I would like to eat. I asked if we could go to the China Buffet but she said she didn't' have enough money. Drat that's just perfect. So I think and ask her if it's ok if we go to the mall and get a bite to eat there. She said sure. (But here's the real kicker)

Instead of going in my mom's 4 wheeler for lunch I was suddenly back in the bully's car and he was gonna take me to the mall. As he was getting in the car out of nowhere appeared my brothers sitting in the back seat buckled up making noise. The bully got mad got out of the car and ranted saying he wont drive unless my brothers and I pay him for ticking him off. So I fish my pockets and get out and gave him four quarters. My brothers handed him a dollar each. He said that will do, but I could tell by the tone of his voice his was still ticked and not satisfied. Soon we were on the highway and out of University of Montana campus. My brothers magically disappeared and we were almost turning to the mall...

And I wake up to the knocking in my door. Apparently I slept in and my grandma was knocking telling me that I'll be late for school. I was so mad at myself. Well enough about my crazy dream, now back to Yume Chapter 3!

Yume

Ch2 - The University

As time progressed Aiabu graduated High School with flying colors with his best buds. A couple of weeks after graduation Nikka went to college to achieve her goal. Before she left Aiabu and Nikka spent their last moments together. I remember that day so vividly. It was a Tuesday morning Solomon was sweeping the front door of the Kame Shop and Aiabu was counting the money in the cash register...

"Yugi, telephone," yelled his mother in the kitchen.

"Got it mom, hello, Yugi speaking..."

"Yugi are you busy?"

"N, Nikka..." stammered Yugi turning a slight shade red when he saw his grandfather coming in the shop, "Uh not really why?"

"Well... Uh, I was wondering... if you would like to go to Domino Park with me."

"I'll ask grandpa..," he covered his hand on the speaker, "Grandpa can I go to Domino park with Nikka,"

Solomon leaned at the counter rubbed his chin then nodded.

Yugi smiled and took his hand off the handset excitedly, "He said sure."

"Great I'll meet you in the shop."

As soon as he got off the phone a navy blue 4 wheeler appeared and Nikka stepped out in the car. She was wearing blue jeans and a black tank top her long black hair was up in a pony tail.

"Wow that was fast."

"Yeah mom gave me permission to use her cell phone," I could fell Aiabu nervousness when she talked to him, "So are you ready?"

"Uh, yeah lets go," and he grabbed her by the hand and lead her out of the shop.

"So Nikka what's up?" asked Yugi as they walked pass the Domino Zoo.

"Uh Yugi… Remember we were goanna go to Kiaba Land this summer?"

"Oh yeah I sure do, why?"

"I… I won't be able to go with you guys."

"Wha! Why not?" questioned Yugi. Nikka looked up smiling, "I'm goanna go to America!"

"Congratulations Nikka! So when are you going to leave?"

"In three weeks…" chocked Nikka as she tried not to cry but failed. Yugi sensed she was upset and he embraced her.

"Yugi, I'm happy that I can go to college in America, but I'm sad," She cried as she placed her head on his shoulder, "I'm sad that I won't be with you guys having fun. Sometimes I wish the University of Montana didn't choose me to go to their school…"

"Nikka don't say things like that!" Nikka looked up and saw Yugi and saw that defiant yet hopeful look. That look reminded her the first day she came into Domino School, "Don't say such meaningless things like that. Sure we'll be apart for a couple of years, but that does not mean it's the end of the world. …I mean," Yugi blushed and he escorted Nikka to a nearby bench, "Nikka, what I'm trying to say is that I'm happy for you that the University chose you to go to their school. And also to say that no matter where you are or how bad things are going you needn't worry because we'll always be there for you."

Nikka dried her tears and smiled, "Thanx Yugi,"

Later that night Yugi was tossing and turning in his bed. I could sense the reason why he couldn't get to sleep last night. It was because of Nikka.

"Aiabu are you ok?"

"Yami what do you do when you're in love?"

I blinked surprised of the question Aiabu asked too soon of.

"Well," I answered taking a seat next to him, "If you're in love with someone…. You show the person how you feel about them… Yugi, you love Nikka don't you."

Yugi nodded, "I'm worried about her she's really depressed,"

"Because she's going to America?"

"Yes, I don't want to see her sad Yami," then Yugi clasped his hands in mine and looked at me eyes glossy almost ready to cry, "Please Yami tell me what to do to make her smile again!"

I stared at him for awhile then smiled, "How about we invite her to spend the night in our house?"

"Hey yeah we'll have a good luck surprise party for her. Thanx Yami."

"No problem Aiabu now get some rest and we'll figure out when we'll have the party tomorrow."

Yugi slipped back into bed gazing up in the ceiling with a smile on his face. Then his eyelids slowly closed he sighed, "Nikka," and fell fast asleep.
