Here's the next chapter. Thanks to everyone who left a review. Just stick to the story and everything will be clear. I'm sorry if it's rushed. I was writing while doing math homework. You know how boring Algebra can get. Anyways, this whole story just came to me in a dream; even my oc's names. Now to start the chapter.

Chapter 3
The Domino Museum looked as if it was abandoned. There weren't many people there. Actually, it looked like there wasn't a living soul in there at all. The group who had just entered headed towards the Egyptian exhibit where they eventually found a woman with raven black hair. She turned as soon as she sensed their presences.
"Ah, good morning to all of you. I have been waiting for your arrival. I see that the Pharaoh is here too," said the woman. At the mention of this, a small golden light engulfed half of the room and a strong and deep voice flowed through everyone's ears.
"It's nice to see you again Ishizu," the Pharaoh greeted. The woman named Ishizu bowed curtly to her Pharaoh. Her eyes swept through everyone's faces and came to a stop at April. Ishizu's eyes had widened a little and she stifled a small gasp. April looked at her in confusion. She read Ishizu's facial expression and saw that she had a look of awestruck and recognission. How can that be when Ishizu had only seen her this once? But April's seen Ishizu's face a few times before in her dreams or rather, visions. "She probably saw me on T.V. with Seto," April thought.
"My Princess, is that you? Is that really you?" Ishizu exclaimed. "Boy, did I think wrong. But what is she talking about? Princess? She couldn't be talking about… no she can't be," April thought. "I am truly certain that you are the Princess. You even have her sacred locket! But, how can this be? I was not expecting your arrival. My Millennium Necklace did not show me a vision of you," Ishizu said while looking down at her Millennium Item.
"I'm sorry but I think you are talking to the wrong person," April said. Ishizu looked up at her and said, "Oh, of course. If you would be so kind as to bring the Princess out please." April hesitated for a moment but then touched her necklace and a soft gold glow emanated from it. Suddenly, April's features changed. She was a bit taller and a little older. Her hair not only had red streaks but had black ones, too. Her eyes were crimson rather than amethyst and when she spoke, her voice sounded a little different than that of April's.
"Hello there Ishizu. I have seen your face in my visions. That is how I know you and the reason why the Millennium Necklace did not foretell of my arrival was because my own powers were blocking it," she explained. Ishizu bowed before her as she did with the Pharaoh. The others were just staring at the two with surprised and confused expressions. They couldn't utter a single word. "Now, you do not need to bow before me. I do not even know why you are bowing to me." Ishizu raised her head and explained, "I have to bow to you to show you respect because you are the princess of Egypt. You are my princess."
The girl looked confused. "Princess?" she uttered the word as if it was some foreign language. "I'm sorry but you must be mistaken. I am not a princess," the girl said. Ishizu then said, "Follow me and I will show you something." She turned and headed down towards the basement where the Pharaoh's stone slab was. The others just followed; still not saying a single word. The Pharaoh and Tea knew what was down in the basement. They were both confused as to why Ishizu would want to show them the tablet again.
As they arrived at the basement, they all saw the stone tablet. Joey and Tristan both gasped because they had not seen it yet. "That looks exactly like Yugi!" Tristan exclaimed. "Yeah! They even got the whole spiky hair thing down. Plus, they have…" Joey started but Tea cut him off. "Joey, I don't think this is the right time to be pointing those out." "Right, shutting up now."
"Ishizu, why have you brought has here? Have you found something new in the tablet?" the Pharaoh asked. Ishizu turned to him and said, "Yes, my Pharaoh. We did find something new but it's not from this stone tablet." Everyone looked confused except for "April." She looked more as if she expected this coming. "Ishizu, if I may ask, what exactly did you find?" she asked. "This."
Ishizu came to a closed off section where there was a stone tablet. Everyone gasped because on one half of the slab, the Pharaoh was standing facing the other way with his right arm extended but on the other half, it was blank except for an imprint of a hand on the right-hand corner with the Eye of Horus on it. "Princess, would you mind if you put your right hand against the tablet?" Ishizu said. She did as Ishizu said and for a moment nothing happened, but then, the tablet started to glow and the other half was revealed. On it was an exact picture of April with her left arm extended towards the Pharaoh's. "April's" hand was still on the slab and her eyes where glowing a faint gold. The glow ceased and she almost fainted and fell on the floor if it wasn't for the Pharaoh catching her. As soon as he caught her and held her left hand, he had a series of visions in his mind.
An 8 year-old version of April, was running through the royal gardens, laughing. A 12 year-old version of the Pharaoh was running after her, also laughing. "You're never going to catch me, Big Brother!" she yelled. "Let's see about that!" the Pharaoh called as he jumped and gently tackled his little sister on the ground. They were rolling through the grass laughing. When they finally stopped, the Pharaoh said, "I think you're getting faster. I could barely catch you." The girl beamed at him and said, "Well, that is why they call me Princess Athena."
"Cleo! Cleo! Where are you?" a 12 year-old Yugi called. He was looking for his sister at the park. They had gone there to spend some time together, but now Cleo had disappeared. "Cleo! Cleooooooooo!" he yelled. Cleo had jumped down, out of a tree, and tackled her big brother. "Gotcha Yugi!" she laughed. Yugi was a little mad, but that feeling soon passed and he laughed along with his little sister.
The Pharaoh looked at the stranger in his arms thinking that she was a stranger no longer. She was the princess of Egypt and his little sister. Athena now stared up at her big brother and smiled. Tears were welling up in her eyes. In one second, they had each other in a warm embrace.
After 5 millennia, they had found each other at last.
