Chapter Two: Unbelievable

Mrs. Hills hummed happily to herself as she set her China plates and cups inside the display case in the dining room. She closed the case and smiled hugely at her reflection; her pale blue eyes shone brightly with joy and accomplishment, her flaxen-colored hair was pulled tightly into a high ponytail, not a strand out of place. She turned around in time to see her husband sit at the dining room table. Mr. Hills whipped out a blue handkerchief, removed his glasses and wiped his sweaty face with the cloth. He replaced his glasses on his face and gave his wife a warm smile which Mrs. Hills returned. However, it quickly turned into a frown when she remembered something….

"Now what are those two doing?" she asked exasperated walking past her husband, her black high heels clacking against the polished hardwood. "All I told them to do was put away two boxes in one room. It should not take forever." She muttered climbing the steps. The clicking of her heels echoed loudly as she strode purposefully toward the room she suspected her children to be. However, when she opened the door, she found no one but an open treasure chest and the two brown boxes she ordered her children to carry in the room.

Mrs. Hills' frown deepened as she turned her head and peered down the hall.

"Kasey! Liam! Where are you two?" she demanded walking further down the hall.

Brilliant white light danced before Kasey's eyes, blinding her temporarily. Gradually the light subsided and Kasey blinked as her surroundings began getting clear. All around her evergreen trees and bushes surrounded her. Birds cawed in the distance and squirrels scampered along the ground. It would appear she was in a forest. Something tugged at her arm and Kasey remembered she wasn't alone. Liam's black eyes were wide with fright and his lower lip trembled, indicating he was either going to scream or cry… or both.

"Kasey, what just happened? Where are we?" Liam asked in a shaky voice, his grip tightening.

"Um, I think I may have an idea. Can you let go of my arm please? You're sort of cutting off my circulation."

"Huh? Oh, sorry." Liam muttered releasing his death grip. He gazed curiously at his older sister who was currently rubbing her arm. "Wait, you have an idea? How?"

"When I was five, I used to watch this show called Dragon Tales and it was about these two kids who move in to a new house and find this dragon scale that happens to be magic and could transport them back and forth from their world to Dragon Land."

"So what, are you saying we're now in… Dragon Land?" Kasey burst into laughter at Liam's pinched up face, looking as if he swallowed something sour.

"No, no, I don't think we're in Dragon Land but in a different place entirely."

"Well? You said you had an idea… where are we?"

"Mmm… I believe we are in the Yu-Gi-Oh world."

"Yu-Gi-Oh? Weren't we just talking about that show a few seconds ago? What makes you think we're in the Yu-Gi-Oh world?" Liam questioned pushing a few strands of his black hair out of his eyes, only to have it fall back in place.

"Well for one, it was this card that brought us here in the first place." Kasey said lifting the magic card Gateway for Liam to see. Gateway… the name now made perfect sense and so did its effect….

"Whoa, no way! That card brought us here?" Liam shrieked disbelievingly. Kasey sighed almost exasperatedly and stared pointedly at her younger brother.

"Listen carefully Liam, in the show Dragon tales the rhyme to teleport to Dragon Land was 'I wish, I wish with all my heart, to fly with dragons in a land apart.'" Kasey stared at the Gateway card and continued, "On this card it says something similar: 'I wish, I wish with all my heart, to duel with others in a land apart.' Are you following me?" Liam nodded.

"Yeah, you said the kids in Dragon Tales could teleport back and forth, right? So, that means we can do the same thing! Right?" Liam asked hopefully.

"Yeah, I believe so. But if this is the Yu-Gi-Oh world I would like to explore it! You know, meet my childhood heroes!" Liam raised a black eyebrow.

"Childhood heroes…?" Kasey frowned and crossed her arms.

"What? There's nothing wrong with having fictional characters as your hero."

"Are you sure? Because I'm sure some people would say otherwise…"

"Shut up. Look, sue me for being a bit too attached to my favorite shows; I still want to see them." Kasey snapped. Liam held up two hands in defense.

"Okay, calm down, you can meet your childhood heroes after we finish unpacking. I just hope Mom and Dad haven't noticed our absence." Kasey flinched when she realized the truth in Liam's sentence.

"You're right. We can always return later." Kasey held up the card and recited in a loud voice what she believed would take them home. "I wish, I wish, to use this rhyme, to go back home until next time." A bright light blinded both adolescents and when the light subsided Kasey blinked several times and found herself staring at the black wall with the Yu-Gi-Oh cards.

"We made it back!" Kasey cried joyfully jumping up and down. Liam breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well that was… fun…."

"Fun? Please if you thought that was fun just wait until we actually explore the place! Oh my gosh I cannot wait!" Kasey squealed. Liam opened his mouth to speak but someone interrupted him.

"So here you two were! Where on earth have you been?" Mrs. Hills demanded angrily stepping into the room. Mr. Hills stood by the doorway, a frown marring his features.

"Mom, Dad, uh, we were just exploring the house," Kasey said swiftly sticking the Gateway card in her pocket. Liam nodded a bit too enthusiastically.

"Yup! That's exactly what we were doing!" he said loudly. Kasey closed her eyes. Her brother had to be the worst liar on the planet; whenever he fibbed he would always talk at a loud volume. Mrs. Hills narrowed her blue eyes at Liam.

"Really? You're telling me the truth?" she persisted crossing her arms and staring squarely at the boy. Liam sighed and lowered his head as if in shame.

"Okay Mom, the truth is… Kasey and I traveled into a different dimension and we came back when we remembered we still had to help unpack." Liam explained in a normal tone. Mrs. Hills was taken aback by the boy's response and the fact that he wasn't shouting which would indicate deception. She looked over at Kasey who shrugged and smiled sheepishly. Mrs. Hills scowled and turned toward her husband gesturing toward the two.

"Well, Arnold? Do something!" Mr. Hills sighed.

"Hanna just let it go; the kids are here now aren't they? How about we let them unpack the rest of the stuff, hm?" Kasey really did not like the sound of that, after all it wasn't really their fault; how the hell were they supposed to know the card was magic and could send them to a different dimension? Mrs. Hills, however, seemed pleased with this punishment and looked at her children.

"Well? Get to it." Liam and Kasey muttered their grievances as they filed out of the room.

"Ugh, what a hideous wallpaper," Kasey heard her mother comment.

"I don't know, I think it's pretty cool." Mr. Hills stated.

"Pretty depressing is more like it; honestly black wallpaper? It makes the room appear dull and dark."

"We could always change it; how about sky blue? Or a cheery yellow?" Mr. Hills suggested.

"No! Keep it as it is!" Kasey yelled suddenly whipping around and rushing up to both parents. The Hills stared at their daughter as if she sprouted two heads. Mrs. Hills frowned and brushed back a stray strand of blonde hair. Her blue eyes held suspicion and curiosity.

"Okay, give me one reason why we should keep the wallpaper." Mrs. Hills said crossing her fair arms. Kasey looked down at the hardwood floor, her mother's piercing gaze making her uncomfortable.

"Well, because it reminds me of my childhood… of happier times." She wasn't exactly lying; a majority of her childhood definitely consisted of joyous memories. Mrs. Hills' scrutinizing gaze softened and Mr. Hills sighed softly. After a few seconds of silence Kasey felt herself being pulled into her mother's chest.

"All right sweetie, we won't change the wallpaper." Her mother whispered. Kasey wasn't really sure what brought this on, but she hugged her mother back anyway. Mr. Hills patted his daughter on the head softly and stuffed his hands back into his khaki pants.

"All right dear, let the girl go so she can unpack the rest of the things." Mrs. Hills obeyed and released Kasey giving her a quick peck on the forehead. Kasey walked down the stairs, still confused with her mother's actions. She found Liam in the kitchen putting away utensils. He looked up when Kasey walked in and returned his attention to the spoons in his hand.

"So, are they changing the wallpaper?" he asked closing the drawer. Kasey smiled and shook her head.

"Nope, it's staying."
