One rainy morning near the end of their stay, Destiny woke up with a bad feeling.
"Something bad is going to happen today." she thought as she dressed. "And I REALLY hope it doesn't involve me and another silk dress."
Everything went fine until around lunchtime. Leyla and Ara were in the living room drawing, Yugi was tutoring Destiny in everything Duel Monsters, Tèa was making lunch, and Jaden was reading a book. All of a sudden a cold wind blew through the house and the twins screamed almost simultaneously. Everyone dropped what they were doing and rushed into the living room. Marik stood in the center of the room, laughing manically, and the girls were huddled together in a corner, whimpering like sad puppies. As soon as she entered the room, they ran towards Tèa sobbing and screaming "Mommy! Mommy!" She turned towards Yugi, her eyes saying "What do we do now?"
"Jaden, run! Take Tèa and the kids with you!" Yugi shouted. "I'll deal with him!"
"No! Yugi, I'm staying here!"
"FOR RA'S SAKES, MAN, RUN!"
Marik laughed. "Why? There's no need to run. I'm simply here to make a proposition for the boy."
"What? Do you want to kidnap my girlfriend again? Because that's not going to happen twice." Jaden grabbed Destiny's hand.
Marik laughed again. "No, your sassy little love interest is quite safe. I'm simply here to suggest a…slightly less violent way of resolving that little "Millennium Eye" problem. You are quite clever for tricking me last time. Meet me at my tomb in 2 weeks time. "
Destiny began to speak. "Wh-"
Marik swept his cape around him and vanished in a puff of smoke. Tèa coughed and fanned the smoke away.
"Well, he hasn't gotten any less dramatic, has he?"
"We have to find him." Yugi said, determination and sincerity echoing in every tone of his voice.
Jaden turned to him. "Yugi, no. This is my mess, and, as I've told Destiny, it's nobody else's."
"But yet, I'm here." Destiny put her hand on Jaden's shoulder. "And I'm here to help. You and Yugi have taught me well. Whatever Marik wants, I will stand by you."
"But you've never played Duel monsters!" Jaden protested.
"What about the time I dueled Marik's rare hunters…and won."
"You've never played Duel monsters!"
"Or when I dueled Yugi yesterday…and won."
"You've never played- wait, did you say you dueled Yugi? And won?"
"Well thank you, oh observant and supportive boyfriend of mine. Yes, I did."
"When?" Jaden said in disbelief.
Destiny shrugged. "I don't know, at about two thirty. I think you were upstairs trying to find your deck."
"Oh yeah." Jaden scratched his head. "I still haven't found that, by the way."
Ara giggled and flashed a Kuriboh card to Leyla, who also giggled.
"Well, I guess we'll be on our way." Jaden continued. "And by the way Ara, if you see my deck, please let me know. I have a pink teddy bear in my backpack that's just screaming to get out." He grinned mischievously.
"Beary Bubblegum!" Ara threw Jaden's deck at him and ran upstairs shouting "I'll save you, Beary!"
"Ok. Now we can go." Jaden said, tucking his deck into his pocket.
