By morning, Mina was awakened by the blazing sun hitting her eyes. Dawn already? As she put a pillow over her face, only to be awoken by a tug on her foot. And she looked that she was being tugged by her annoying sister.

"What do you want?" Mina questioned.

"Mother told me to wake you"

Mina looked and she had already left. "...Hmm, odd."

&&&

That afternoon, Mina was informed that there was a formal event occurring in a few days.

"What's it to me?" she said blantly.

"It is something to you because you are attending it." her mother said.

"Eh, I beg your pardon?!"

"Yes, and also there are other people from other places coming here too. So it might get a little crowded."

"Agh, you know how much I hate formal things." Mina whined.

"You hate lots of things, and you are going. Now, you have 5 days to get a dress, and shoes. And don't forget you have to get your hair done formally for this," Her mother said as she left the room [which was her room btw

Mina left the room also. She left to go search for Mana. To see what she was doing. Turns out that she practicing some magic around the back garden near the pond...With Seth and Atem right along with her.

"You'll never get that stupid spell done," taunted Seth

"Oh, be quiet. Hey Mina," Mana said as Seth and Atem had turned around.

"Hello, what are you doing?"

"Oh just practicing a few spells, and uh, we were about to practice dueling, to-"Mana was cut off by possibly the most annoying person in the palace.

"Did some say dueling!?" Lady Teana squealed as she was coming from the corner of the hall.

"What is dueling?" Mina asked finding it strange that she had never heard about this.

"Dueling," Seth replied being his obnoxious self. "Is a form of fighting with Ka."

Mina looked even more puzzled, "What is Ka?"

"Ka is a kind of shadow monster [is it? Or demon. Whatever. that use with to duel. You use these," he held up his left wrist. "To know how much energy you have left to fight. Even though it might look fun, it is quite dangerous, because if it so happens that the energy gauge goes all the way down, outcomes could be fatal..."Seth explained with a serious face.

"Nice explanation, genius." Atem teased as he slightly pushed Seth.

Seth sarcastically chuckled, "And this here." He held out a golden rod. "Helps it get it out."

"It shines a lot," Mina laughed.

"Heh, its called the Millennium Rod" Mina stared.. "So you want to try?" asked Seth.

"Uh, I don't know.."

"And if you do actually summon it, you can duel with me," Teana said mockingly.

It would be spectacular if I could beat her...just so I could shut her up, Mina thought as she gave Teana an annoyed look. "Sure. I'll give it a shot,"

Seth showed her a position [I forgot how its done in order to do the summoning. Mina tried, and once and nothing. The second time Seth sneakily held the rod up while she had her eyes closed.

Suddenly, Mina felt a sharp suction coming out from her mouth, but she just stood there as if she couldn't move or breathe for that matter. Then she felt a lump come from her lungs or not necessarily there. And before she knew there was a flying person in the sky just above her.

"Ohh, what is it?" Mina questioned. She looked at everyone else, who looked astonished. "Eh, what happened?"

"That looks like Mana's monster[/shadow/demon/shadow demon/whatever" Seth said still looking at it.

"Except, its not it. Its features are lessened and her eyes are bigger." Atem examined. "If I'm not mistaken, that looks like the Toon Dark Magician Girl"

"Toon? Is it strong?" questioned Mina very curiously about the monster.

"Strong?" Atem laughed. "It is as strong as the Dark Magician Girl, herself. Which, may I say, is far better than any monster that I've ever seen from a beginner."

Mina turned around to see Teana's perplexed face. Heh, this is rich.

Teana gulped. She has to stay strong.

"So how bout that duel?"

"Eh, yeah sure." Teana said. As Teana summoned her monster. Mina continued to stare at hers. She never knew it could be so aesthetic.

When she had turned around she had found a woman in robes with a staff. "Which monster is that?" Mina asked...yet again. Dear Ra, she was completely clueless.

"That, is the Magician of Faith." Atem answered.

"Sounds adequate."

"Teana are you sure about this?" Seth whispered to her ear. As did Mana to Mina. They both nodded.

Atem, on the other hand, saw this to be sort of entertaining.

Mina looked to the energy gauge, what if it went all the way down? What could happen? Her thoughts were broken by the command of attack sent by Teana. [Yeah the monster can attack :\

Mina saw the attack going straight to her monster. Damn it. She forgot to ask how to do in these kinds of situations. What would anyone with common sense do? "Evade it!" she commanded while holding out her hand. The girl flexed her body in a "C" shape to dodge it. She thought everyone was going to laugh at her, but instead they looked surprised. "Am I missing something?"

"Monsters...do not dodge attacks" [if they do...then they don't in this story xD

&&&

OK OK OK. Toon Dark Magician Girl, it maybe has to be used near toon world. Or is it? I dunno! But dont sue me for coming up with that monster kay? I expected this to be...more exciting Dx So sue me
