Default: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh.
Friends old & new
The next day was a Saturday and because of this fact I had chosen to get to know the neighborhood a little that is if my father didn't mind too much and he thought it was safe. I got up about 8:00am and took a long shower before going out onto my patio and looking out onto the city. What I didn't notice was that my father had decided to cut the grass this morning but since he had no real idea on how to run a regular lawn mower, being use to riders or hiring someone else to do it he was having a bit of a difficult time with it and I didn't know it until I heard loud cursing coming from down stairs in the garage. I chuckle as I lean over the railing and look towards the garage.
"Hey dad, need any help" I yell
"No, I'm just trying to get this stupid mower together." He calls up
I shake my head as I head down stairs and start breakfast.

"Still don't have it do you?" I ask as I come in to the garage with two breakfast tray's setting them on a work bench as I walk over to him.
"No, the bloody thing wont go together properly" He say's throwing up his hands in defeat " I thought it was suppose to be put together when it arrived but instead I got it like this. Its hopeless I will never get this stupid thing up and running why didn't I just buy a ridding lawn mower?"
" because we are suppose to be a normal family this time not a rich and fancy one like normal, that's why" I say smiling at him "now go wash up and lets have some breakfast then see if we cant concur that evil machine"
My dad just chuckles as he turns and walks in to the house to wash up.
1hr later
"See that wasn't so bad where done now do you remember how to use this thing?" I ask looking up at my father who just smiles
"Of course I do now go get cleaned up and go have some fun, oh and Chrystal your wallets on the mantle in the living room with all the up to date information." He says as I run into the house quickly changing and grabbing my wallet as I put on my shoes, then slipping on some blades that attach directly to your shoes before stepping out into the garage again. Seeing my farther looking over the instruction manual I chuckle as I walk over to the lawn mower.
"Dad" I say getting his attention "first you prime it pushing the black button in the front of the mower and then you hold down the handle and pull the string, to stop the mower you let the handle go up, 'k'?"
He just gives me a look
"I knew that" he say's
I just shake my head in disgust
"Sure you did, that's why you were looking at the manual right?" I say smiling.
He just throws the manual at me which I easily doge out of the way laughing.
"You got to work on your arm there" I say as he suddenly grabs me into a hug
"Do I? Seems to my bad toss wound up with you in my easy reach" he said tickling me.
I just laugh as I slide out of his grasp, turning to smile at him
"Are you going to be at the store today?" I ask
He nods
"Yep, I should be out there about 1 o'clock, why you going to stop by?" he ask
"Yep plan on it" I say
"Good now you be careful our there, you have your cell phone on you?"
I nod
"Alright, go out and have some fun, and remember you promise to make new friends."
"Alright daddy, I'll stop by the arcade there should be some entertainment there going on today"
"Ok, call if you run into any trouble"
I wave over my shoulder as I head out towards the city admiring the scenery along the way.

'so this is the arcade' I think to my self as I look at a building in front of me, "might as well" I say will a sigh as I walk into the building.
The inside of the arcade could be described as organized chaos. There were games scattered everywhere but at the same time they didn't seem to be in an unorganized fashion either. Teens were running all over the place, between the video games and card games. I walked in and exchanged a ten for some tokens before choosing a game and start playing it. After thirty minutes I'm half way throw the game and have drowned a crowd of watchers.
"Hey, she's about to beet the high score"
"Isn't that Yugi's?"
"Man she's about to beet the king of games"
"No ones ever gotten this far but him"
"Move aside let the king by"
"Uh oh here comes Yugi"
I pause the game as I turn and look at the new group; they consisted of 5 boys and 3 girls. With the boys there was a white haired spiked kid, two boys who looked like they could be twins had black and blond spiked hair kid, two with brown hair, both whom I could guess were trouble makers. Now the girls there was a tall light browned hair girl who looked like a fighter, a shorter brown haired girl, and a blonde haired girl of whom I recognized form a photo she sent me many years a go and that one time we actually met for a short time before she moved here, ('oh right she moved here didn't she' I think to my self 'gees I am stupid) and I could tell from her expression she recognized me as well.
"Chrystal" she said with a shocked expression
"Nitira?" I say
"Hey it's been a while hasn't it" she says
"Ya, you look great" I say coming up and hugging her
"You here for a while"
"Ya just moved here" I say smiling
"Oh let me introduce you to my friends" she say's turning to face the crowd "guys this is Chrystal she's an old friend from America, Chrystal this is Joey and Tristan there the trouble magnets, the white haired kid is Ryou, that is Tea, the other girl is Mai. And this is my boyfriend Yugi and my other boyfriend Yami"
"Two?" I say raising an eye brow
"Ya, they come as a matched set, can't get one with out the other" she says smiling
"Luckly" I say as I turn to face the rest of the group
"Nice to meet you all" I say bowing slightly "now if you don't mind I am going to finish this game"
As I do just that and turn back to the game beating the whole think within half an hour.
"Well now we have to go out and celebrate your victory" Nitira say's "To the burger joint"
Joey and Tristan just look at each other with down cast looks
"What did you guys spend all your money here again?" Mie say's
They just nod, while the others start counting there money
"Don't bother" I say suddenly "I'll pay in honor of meeting up with my old friend Nitira"
"Alright!" both of the guy's yell at the same time running for the door as the rest of us just fallow along behind at a more rescindable pace.

"That was great" both Tristan and Joey say at the same time.
I just exchange a look as I pay for the bill
"Holy, you rich or something?" Joey asks as he looks into my wallet
"No this is just my moving allowance" I say
"Moving allowance?" Nitira asks "you mean that jack ass actually gives you an allowance"
"No he doesn't" I say smiling "I'm not living with him anymore"
"Your not!" She exclaims
"No I've been living with my birth father for the last 2 years now" I say
"That's great" she squeals as she jumps over and gives me a big hug "now that's a reason to celebrate"
"Well then let's go over to my fathers store, he should be there by now I'm sure he would give you guys all discounts and maybe some free stuff"
"Alright free stuff" Joey and Tristan say as they head for the door
"What's the name of the store?" Yugi asks
"Its called Renaldy's games and toys" I say
"I've heard of it, there one of the leading toys and game store in America right?" Mai says
I just nod "Renadly Industries is my fathers company"
"Serious" Joey says starring at me
"Yep" is all I say
"Man you could be major competition for Kiaba" Tristan say's "We have to check out your store"
"Then let's go" I say with a large smile on my face as we head off.

Sorry it's been so long since I've updated but our computers at home have been in the shop getting fixed up, and when I tried to use the computers at my high school it totally blanched the job, but luckily the computers here at the college which I am now attending do work properly. So I should be able to update more often, but please be bear with me, me updating is going to have to revolve around my college work schedule. Oh and please review but please no flairs. Thank You.
