I DO NOT OWN YU-GI-OH! GX OR 5D'S

"IT'S SO GOOD!"

Nearby people began to stare at an ecstatic Judai who was happily licking the ever-loving out of his gelato ice cream. Yusei glanced around, actually feeling a bit embarassed but rolled with it. "Well, it isn't bad at all, actually. Kinda rivals mochi just a bit," Yusei admitted as he took a spoonful of the gelato. He had asked for a small cup of gelato while Judai asked for the largest waffle cone for it despite he never had gelato himself. But the boy didn't have any regret at all.

"I swear to ya, Yusei. I'm getting tempted to live here." Yusei smirked. "Yeah, but you don't know Italian, right Judai?" Judai had to give him that but he didn't wnat his dream to get shot down so easily. "I'm sure I can get it pretty easily. Besides, I'm sure I can run into a friend of mine who's from Europe and maybe he can show me the ropes." Yusei shrugged as he licked his plastic spoon clean. "I guess," Yusei uttered.

For a while, in a long while, the two suddenly got quiet as they ate their gelato ice cream. Judai didn't feel too comfortable in not being chatty. But even Yusei didn't feel all that okay with it either and he's usually the silent type. Guess I'm really starting to bond with this guy, Yusei thought to himself. Sad thing is, we're almost twenty years apart in our timelines.

Judai was taking crunches on his waffle cone since his ice cream was devoured already. He's lucky a brain freeze didn't hit him. He looked up at a nearby clock tower. Almost four o'clock...What else could we do? Gotta be something, anything!

"Judai?"

The brunette looked at his friend. "What's up?"

Yusei looked at the table for a moment with a worried expression. Judai was gonna ask but suddenly Yusei lifted his head up, wearing a small smile on his face. "Hey, how about we take a ride around? I promise, I'll drive slowly." Yusei could swear he heard a loud gulp from his friend as he smiled nervously, nodding as they stood up to throw away their trash.

Uh, besides dying horribly in a futuristic death trap?

Judai was holding onto Yusei tighter than a koala with a tree branch. Every time they would go down a hill or hit any bumps, Yusei would feel a loss of breath from a bear hug of paranoia. Judai was actually silent, afraid that if he talks or breathes he'll mess with the D-Wheel's balance and they'd tip over. He does feel safer since Yusei gave him his helmet, reassuring that he's gonna be fine. But surely, the worries would melt away as he sees people gawk at their vehicle like it was something out of this world. He couldn't help but grin when others would snap pictures with their cell phones. Even he's heard Yusei chuckle a bit as he notices the same thing. Judai was on a motorcycle that wouldn't be invented for another good dozen of years. He should consider himself lucky, but he definitely does. Because he's with Yusei and having a good time.

They drove far enough where they reached an area that was mainly just fields of grass and open areas. Here they decided to make a pit stop so that Pharaoh can do his 'business' in which makes Judai laugh because he knows Professor Daitokuji freaks out and is disgusted seeing as that his spirit is in the feline. Because Yusei is connected to the spirit world of Duel Monsters with his Mark, he can hear these antics from the disembodied professor and can't help but smirk as he laid back against his D-Wheel, smiling with eyes closed while Judai kept an eye on Pharaoh as he was trying to find a good spot in the empty field.

"Judai, what are you doing?" a deep female voice asked the brunette in his mind.

The boy shrugs as he replied in his thoughts, "What do you mean, Yubel?"

"You suddenly want to be with Yusei and refuse to let him go. Why?"

"Um.."

"Something you would like to share with me?"

Judai shook his head. "No, no, it's just...I don't know. Yusei is a really different person and I can't help but be curious in interest of him."

"I didn't see you having this 'curiosity' with the Duel King, though."

"Well, yeah, because Yugi I know enough on since there's books on him and DVDs and such. But you forget, Yusei is from the future. It's not like I can read about the guy."

The spirit sighed. "Just don't get attached, okay? You do know he has tonight and see his friends."

The brunette stood silent, his bangs outcasting over his eyes.

"...Yeah, I know, Yubel. Another friend I'll have to say goodbye to."

Judai looked up at the sky. It was slowly going into a tint of orange. From his guess, it's probably at least six o'clock. Time felt like it was passing by way too fast..

Footsteps come from behind as the Osiris Red graduate turned around. Yusei stood there, looking past him. "Is Pharaoh done yet?" Judai completely forgot about his furry little friend as he looked at the field. The grass was high up to their waists so it was hard to see the cat. Neither of them could hear Daitokuji at all, either, so Pharaoh must've wondered off.

"Guess we're gonna have to split up and look for him," Yusei settled. Judai nodded as the black haired man walked in another direction into the fields. "Hey, wait!" Yusei turned around. Judai smiled as he ran quickly over to him. "Hey, don't you have a cell phone?" Yusei did own a cell. It was a small phone with a keyboard. Aki told him he should get one for the sake of business when he did his repair commissions.

"Why you ask?" Judai grinned as he took out his phone, which was a red flip phone.

"Well, if one of us finds Pharaoh we could call the other." Judai explained.

"Would it work? I mean, our phones are pretty far apart in time."

The boy shrugged. "It should. Would suck if we get charged for 'long era distance' or something, right?" he laughed. Yusei smiled. What was there to lose? So they switch digits as Judai gives it a shot.

Ba-doo-doo-doo-da-be-doo, roo-roo-row-ba-ding

Judai shrugged his eyebrows. Yusei quickly silenced his phone. "Yeah, that's enough, it apparently works so there goes physics." Judai still looked at him funny. Yusei sighed in defeat. "Its an older phone that I bought off from my landlord who is an elderly lady so the ringtones are a bit bland." Judai blinked, his eyebrows still shrugged.

"What?" Yusei asked, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Judai smirks, lightly punching Yusei in the shoulder. "Naw, nothin', just like messing with you!"

Yusei scoffs, smiling with a half-hearted chuckle. "Yeah, yeah, let's go find Pharaoh already." The two boys then seperated as they began to call out for either Pharaoh or Daitokuji. Judai had an advantage since he has a second pair of eyes with him. Yusei, on the other hand, relies just on his own two eyes but he is very alert so he should be able to find the feline.

Yusei finds himself in a small vineyard. He glances around, unsure if should tread on, but there is still the chance that Pharaoh might be somewhere here. "Pharaoh! Professor!" Yusei calls out as he waits for a reply.

Mreooow

Yusei narrows his eyes past the vines. A brown fluffy tails waves towards him, as if signaling the cat's presence. "There's that darn cat," Yusei sighed as he walked towards where he saw the tail. Just as he gets there, Pharaoh was kicking some dirt behind him as he looked up at Yusei. The youth smiles faintly. "Least you gave them some of your fertilizer, huh?" Yusei picked up the cat into his arm. He doesn't have much experience with animals, let alone a cat that is known to scratch people, but for this he's thankful he has gloves on. Yusei reaches into the inner breast pocket of his jacket as he pulls out his phone and dials Judai's number.

"Hey, pal! Found him?"

Mreoooooow

"Uh, yeah, what he said. Where are you?" Yusei looks around.

"Oh, well I kinda ventured up a mountain just incase if he went up here, eheheh.."

Yusei's eyes widen as he turned around. The only mountains he can see is at a far distance. "..You serious? The only mountain here that I see is miles and miles away."

"Yeah, that's why I decided to use your Wheelie Thingie and drove up here since you left your Disk behind." Judai admitted.

"You are shitting me." Yusei suddenly felt weak in the knees.

Mreoooow!

Yusei feels a light tap on the orange orb of his shoulder. Yusei turned his head with cell phone to ear and sees a Judai, grinning from ear to ear, holding his phone to his ear. Before Yusei could even open his mouth to speak, two fingers are suddenly thrusted in his face as the brunette closed an eye, taking a good inhale and then..

"Gotcha~!"

Yusei stared blankly at him as he pressed the off button on his cell. "You ass," he smirked.

Mreowwww

So this chapter was a more laid back one. Sorry guys, but I believe this fic is coming to an end quite soon. I already have it all set up and I'd say we've got a good few chapters left. However, the chapters will be long because I decided to add a duel in after the next one so gonna be studying their anime decks. Plus I wanna make the duel like a two parter and to properly explain the duel and such, they will be long chapters so hallelujah! Anyway, lemme know if you like it!
