Part 2
Anything is Possible
"The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible." -Arthur C. Clarke, author of 2001: A Space Odyssey
Chapter 5: Pegasus Makes You Rich
Tea and I went our seperate ways, and I started jogging, going right past the PetCo until I reached Hanasaki's duplex home that was on a busy street. Then I made a nintey-degree turn, waited until the light turned green, and crossed it to reach The Blinking Lights, a new arcade that Joey and I had decided to try when he came back.
Upon entering through the glass double doors, I immediately noticed how everything was blinking and glaring and just plain startlingly bright. I squinted. Owch! Those lights were bright. I searched, squinting, for Joey. I found him playing DDR. His movements were jerky, and he got a really low score.
"Awwwwwww, dang!" Joey lamented. Then he mumbled, "At least no one saw that..."
I couldn't help it; I giggled. Joe heard me, and I watched his eyes trail across the sparse cliques of people to see me - I'm kind of hard to miss. It's the hair, you know? - and his eyes widened.
"Yugi!!" He looked nervous. "Did you - did you see that?"
I nodded happily. "Yep!" My best friend's face fell into a bitter, sinister-looking scowl, his blonde bands partially shading his face. I laughed again. "So what's up?" I inquired, jumping up onto the machine platform next to him. I really sucked at this game, but I guessed that I could spare a quarter or two in the name of friendship. A few seconds of searching through my pockets and I discovered the meaning of "flat broke". I looked sheepishly at Joey, who nodded to show that he understood. Then without warning, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a 200 dollar bill!
"WHOA!" I cried. "Joey, where did you get that?"
"Huh? Oh, a friend of mine recently came into some money because of Industrial Illusions, and they had some to spare."
"Industrial Illusions? You mean, like, using the stock market to buy shares of Pegasus's company?"
"Yep."
"Wow."
"Yep. Pegasus can make you rich, apparently."
I thought that was neat.
