"Hey, Yugi!"
"Joey!" The two friends smiled at one another.
"I've been meaning to ask you something."
"Joey. Yugi."
"Hi, Bakura," the two of them said in unision.
"How's your new job?"
"It's all right," Joey said with a sigh. "Now I know the pain of what Miss Harris was yelling about, me flipping burgers for the rest of my life."
"Live and learn. That's what I say."
"But, now that my new job is on the way, I can find myself a prom date."
"A prom date? I haven't thought of anyone to ask, yet."
"You haven't thought of anyone to ask yet!? You better hurry up. Don't you know you need a neat tux and stuff? Right, Yuge?"
"Yeah. I guess," Yugi replied with a hint of uninterest in his voice.
"Hmm? What about you, Yuge?" Yugi, then said something very softly. "What was that?"
"I said, I'm not going to the prom," Yugi repeated again a bit louder.
"Why, Yuge? There's probably plenty of girls dying to go out with you."
"It's not that. I just think that I should the use the time to help the spirit of the puzzle remember his past instead of worrying about the prom. Plus, you know me. I'd probably get cold feet."
"Awn. That's too bad."
"Who are you taking to the prom," Bakura asked.
"Well, to show how good of friends that we all are, asked Mai."
"Well," Yugi began, "What did she say?"
"I tried calling her and all I kept on getting was some message that her phone wasn't in service. I'll go looking for her after school. I know she'll say 'yes'."
