Episode Three

"The prize for winning the tournament is three million dollars!?" Elise and Gabby gasped, as Alicia happily showed them the card she'd received from Pegasus.

"Hash-tag winning!" Alicia said.

"But you don't need that kind of money!" Rozlyn argued. "Yugi needs to get his grandpa's soul back!"

"But money!" Alicia whined.

"You honestly think money is more important that Yugi getting his grandpa's soul back?" Rozlyn demanded. Alicia looked thoughtful for a moment.

"You have to think about that?" Gabby asked, looking appalled.

"Three. Million. Dollars." Bailey reminded them, as she looked up from her deck. "I'd sell my soul for that kind of money."

"You don't have a soul..." Gabby muttered.

"This guy talks too much..." Alicia complained as they watched some tall guy with weird hair explain to them that they needed star chips to enter the competition.

"What the hell is wrong with his hair?" Bailey asked.

"You hang out with Yugi and you're asking this?" Alicia demanded.

"Um guys... I'm standing right here." Yugi said from behind them in line.

They were interrupted by a commotion at the front of the line.

Two guards walked by, dragging Joey with them.

"What the...?" Alicia asked as they ran towards Joey to check it out.

"Leave him alone." Yugi said.

"What are you doing here?" Rozlyn asked.

"I'm not letting you guys go without me." Joey replied.

"He's with me," Yugi explained to the guards.

"Please let him on." Rozlyn begged.

"Only people with a star chip can get on." one of the guards grunted.

"He can have one of mine." Rozlyn said. She held out her hand and gave Joey one of her star chips.

"All contestants are given two star chips," the guard explained. "You'll be at a disadvantage." he warned Rozlyn.

"Pshhh," Bailey snorted. "This is the Rozlyn. She went to the semi finals in our tournament, before she lost to me." Bailey added.

"And then she," Alicia said, pointing at Bailey. "Lost to me!"

"It was a FLUKE!" Bailey snapped.

"Thank you so much," Joey told Rozlyn as the boat took off. "For giving me one of your star chips.

"You can have the other one too," Rozlyn said. "I'm only here to support Yugi, not to duel... IS THAT FOOD!?" Rozlyn ran over to a table of food.

"Really?" Joey asked as they looked around the room, after leaving Rozlyn by the food table. "This is a luxury cruise ship! I know you have better rooms than this!"

"Bailey and I have some." Alicia said. "Because we're finalists from important tournaments. Hash-tag winning."

"You two need to stay down," Tristan told Gabby and Elise from their hiding spot on the boat. "Or someone's going to see us."

A door opened, Gabby ducked down, Elise fell over.

"Isn't that Bakura?" Gabby asked as she spotted the guy who exited the door.

"From school?" Tristan asked.

"The cute one?" Elise asked.

"Yes and yes." Gabby replied.

"Guess he's in the tournament," Elise muttered.

"Isn't that that creepy Weevil guy from that one tournament we saw on TV?" Rozlyn asked as a kid with green hair walked up.

"Yugi?" he said. "The duelist who beat Kaiba?"

"The one and only." Rozlyn informed him happily.

"So are you guys joining the others and trading for good cards?"

"Not me," Yugi informed him. "I'm sticking with the cards I brought."

"I figured," Weevil said. "You used the Exodia cards to beat Kaiba, those are the strongest cards of all."

"And they're really rare." Yugi added.

"Could I...possibly see those legendary cards?" Weevil asked.

"I don't see why not, just be careful." Yugi said. He took out the five cards and handed them to Weevil. Weevil started walking closer to the edge of the boat.

"Yugi maybe giving Weevil your cards isn't such a good idea, oh never mind." Alicia said as Weevil threw them overboard. He laughed evilly as he walked away.

"NOOOOOOO!" Yugi shouted.

"Yeah I kinda saw that one coming," Bailey admitted.

"Then why you didn't you say anything!?" Joey demanded.

"Yugi's my biggest competition." Bailey explained. "Now he's easier to beat.

"You are a terrible person!" Joey shouted at her.

"I'll get those cards for you Yugi!" Rozlyn shouted.

"Rozlyn! Jumping off the boat's a bad... awww," Alicia sighed as Rozlyn jumped off the boat after Exodia.

"I'll help!" Joey shouted as he jumped overboard after Rozlyn.

"GUYS NO!" Yugi shouted as he jumped after them.

"We should probably get below and try and help them back on the boat, shouldn't we?" Bailey asked.

"Yep." Alicia replied.

"We're not going to are we?"

"Nope."

"Want to chill out in our luxury sweets and plot Duelist Kingdom domination?"

"Yep." Alicia smiled. "Hash-tag winning."

"Guys!" Elise shouted to Joey, Yugi and Roz who were in the ocean. "Take this ladder!" she and Tristan tossed the ladder down to them.

The three climbed up, Rozlyn and Joey each clinging to the few cards they'd managed to retrieve.

"It's a good thing you guys showed up." Yugi told Elise, Gabby and Tristan after they'd climbed back on the boat.

"I'm sorry Yugi," Joey said. "I only got one card. I'm just never able to help anyone I care about, not even my sister Serenity."

"You have a sister?" Gabby asked.

"Our parents divorced years ago, she lives far away. She had really bad eyes, eventually she'll go blind. But there's an operation that could help, only if I could afford it, by winning this tournament and the prize money.

"That's so sweet," Rozlyn said. "You two are dueling to help people you love."
