And then we forget as we live.)
The owl fluttered by Joey Wheeler's open window. It slipped inside and waited till the sleeping man woke up. When Joey did, the first thing he saw was the owl starring at him expectantly. "AH!" he screamed. The owl, distressed, fluttered about. When they both stopped, it held out its leg to Joey.
"Now I know that I'm dreaming!" Joey sighed. "Alright, whatever." He took the letter from the owl and opened it. He was surprised to see the handwritings of nine different people, all of which he recognized.
Hajimari ga aru mono ni wa
Itsu no hi ka owari mo aru koto
Iki toshi ikeru mono nara
Sono subete ni
(Things with a beginning will end someday
If you can go to the next putting everything.)
The letter started like this:
JOEY! We desperately need your help where we are teaching right now! Well, not only you, but the ENTIRE gang. Yup, we're talking the gang at the Dark Tournament. We need you to go to a certain location and everyone who can see it can come – the others will have no choice but to stay.
(an: About the Dark Tournament – it was hosted when they were seventeen. That's how a lot of them met -- Hikari andArina were reunited with Ceribi. I'll post it up in Ancient Pasts, Present Futures one day.)
Joey read Yugi's part and blinked. What was he talking about?
Of course, read the next part in Malik's handwriting, you're probably pretty confused right now.
For a puppy dog, that's not surprising. Seto had inserted one line there.
Anyway, Ryou continued Malik's part, we can't put everything in this letter – whoever can see the location Yugi mentioned above will find out – we'll tell them there.
Ceribi picked up from there. Joey, if you notice in this envelope, which you probably DIDN'T – this was true – there are nine tickets to England, one for you, Anzu, Tristan, Mai, Duke, Isis, Hikari, Arina, and Serenity. However, Duke, Hikari and Arina are in the U.S. – so we've included six tickets to there as well. You know Hikari's address, so get your ass over there and explain everything. She'll help you get Arina and Duke. Then get your butt to England. Take a taxi to – There was an address written down – and walk around until you see a place called, "Iliad Inn." On the corner next to it, some of you might see a pub called "The Leaky Caldron." For the ones who can't see it, give them their tickets – they're round trip – and tell them to go home. The ones who can see it, however – enter it. They'll be someone there to get you.
Joey… Yami now. Be careful.
Whatever Pharaoh.
I agree with the Soul Stealer.
Joey shook his head. Bakura and Mariku, respectively, didn't really care.
I cannot believe I have to see you again, Wheeler. You'll always be a mutt in my eyes. –Seto Kaiba
Joey sighed at Seto's comment. Typical… He read the last part.
See ya Wheeler.
-Cere
Hurry Joey!
-Yugi
Be careful.
-Yami
Whatever.
-Bakura
Bye Little Joey.
-Malik
What my hikari said.
-Marik
Cheerio!
-Ryou
Joey… please be careful. I think even Niisama would be worried if something happened to you guys. Hikari and I have rubbed off on him… hehe! He's a pretty sensitive guy, actually… meep! He'll KILL me if he finds what I've written! Hehe! See ya Joey! –Mokuba
(an: this was Veena's comment when she read that: "Mo-KU-ba! Mo-KU-ba! Yugi, DOOOOOOOOKE!" LONG story…)
Joey blinked. "Kaiba… a sensitive guy?" He shook his head.
Moshimo kono sekai ga shousha to haisha to no
Futatsu kiri ni wakareru nara
Aa boku wa haisha de ii
Itsu datte haisha de itai n da
(If this world, the winners and losers
If it will split into two
I want to be the loser
I want to be a loser always.)
Joey found the tickets and decided that it couldn't harm to get the gang back together.
Kitto kitto bokutachi wa
Kanashii hodo ni utsukushiku
Yue ni yue ni bokutachi wa
Kanashii hodo ni kegareteku
(Probably, probably we are beautiful so much,
We are sad as time passes,
We get contaminated so much,
We are sad.)
"So… remind me again why we're going to the U.S. to pick up the other three?" said Tristan.
Joey sighed. "Tristan, I told ya already! Yuge and da gang need us!"
Tristan sighed. "Whatever."
"I'm serious!" said Joey. "Dey're probably need to save da world again and need our help."
"But Joey," said Anzu. "Yugi already defeated the enemy that he had to."
"Hey… remember what Isis said when you got invited to the Dark Tournament?" said Serenity. Isis brought her head up, then went back to reading. "That there was some evil that was in it, or hosted it?"
"Oh yeah…" said Anzu. "Maybe this is that evil!"
"Yeah, well, as long as we have someone's butt to kick in a duel, I'm in!" said Mai.
Joey shook his head.Mamoru beki mono no tame ni
Kyou mo mata nanika o gisei ni
Iki toshi ikeru mono no tachi
Sono subete ga
(For the things that must be protected
I sacrifice something again today
Those going to the next
All of that.)
Eventually they reached the airport, and then took a ride in a taxi to the next destination. Oddly enough, Duke had been walking down the street, and they picked him up. They explained what was happening while going as Duke listened.
Finally, they reached the house they were supposed to. Joey blinked and looked at the house, remembering the memories it held. He led the gang to the back and knocked.
From the inside, there were many noises. One was the TV – "Love, flowers, peace… gives me the creeps!" Joey grinned; one of his cousin's favorite shows was Family Ties, and one of her favorite actors Michael J. Fox (poor guy). The TV was then overpowered by the dulcet tones of David Bowie. "Ashes to ashes, funk to funky, we know Major Tom's a junkie!"
And another set of tones joined him, but not in unison nor in dulcet tones. In fact, they weren't even the same words.
"HIKARI! I'M WATCHING AN AWESOME SHOW, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?"
"IT'S CALLED GETTING A SNACK AND LISTENING TO THE AMAZING VOICE OF MY FAVORITE SINGER DAVID BOWIE! IN FACT, I'D BE JOINING YOU, WATCHING MY SECRET LOVER MICHAEL J FOX, BUT I'VE ALREADY SEEN THAT EPISODE A THOUSAND MILLIONS TIMES!"
The yelling insured, until Joey realized that they were still standing outside. Sighing, he fished out the spare key from under the flowerpot and opened the door. Stepping inside, he said, "Oi, your cousin comes ta visit and ya don't even have da courtasy ta open da door?"
The brunette who had been standing in the kitchen spun around, her two silver-white highlights swinging. "Joey!" she said with a grin, and hugged him. She was pushed over by a blonde girl who hugged the said guy.
"Joey, nice to see you again!" said the blonde, Arina Arono, a friend of theirs. "Hey guys, you're here too! Come in, come in and trash the humble abode of Hikari Daeron."
Hikari Daeron, another friend/Joey's cousin had also been greeting the others before she turned around and glared at the said girl. "Yeah, what-EVA."
They came in and rested, staying overnight and telling the two what had happened. Hikari asked to keep the letter, insisting that it smelt of her boyfriend's cologne. Joey shuddered. "Like I need more reminders of Kaiba!" he reprimanded, glaring. She grinned.

About a week later they were in England, and at the location, the "Iliad Inn." They looked around, and, at the corner, some of them saw the Leaky Caldron. These people were…
Boku wa kimi ni nani o tsutaerareru darou
Konna chippoke de chisana boku de shika nai
Ima wa kore ijou hanasu no wa yametoku yo
Kotoba wa sou amari ni mo

(What can I tell you?
Only being such a small self
I won't tell you more now
Because the words are so
Weak against time.)
Me: Hehe, don't kill me! You'll find out next chappie who's going to Hogwarts to HELP SAVE THE WORLD!
