Yugi came down the stairs connecting the game store and his home to see a teenage girl with long raven colored hair talking with his grandfather. Solomon turned around and saw him enter, "Ah! Yugi, good morning," he greeted. Yugi nodded, "Hey Grandpa, what's going on?" he asked, eyeing the girl. "Oh, Yugi. This is Raye Hino, she's replying to an ad I put in the paper," Solomon explained.

His grandson blinked in confusion, "What ad?" he asked. Solomon rubbed his chin, "I forgot to tell you? Well, I felt that we could use some help around here, and I know that at times, that we're both busy with other things, so I thought we could use some help," he explained. Raye bowed to Yugi, "Hello, as he said, my name is Raye Hino. Don't worry, I'll work hard and prove my worth," she said politely. Yugi sweatdropped, "Uh...thanks...I guess," he replied bowing back.

"So, Raye. Your references look good...and you do seem like a hardworker. Welcome aboard," Soloman said, extending his hand. Raye took it and shook his hand, "Thank you sir!" she said gratefully. Yami appeared next to Yugi in spirit form and looked at Raye.

/Yugi...I sense something about this girl/

Yugi glanced at the Pharaoh /Oh? Good or bad/ he asked mentally.

/I can't tell yet, but it's familiar/ Yami silently replied as he watched Raye follow Solomon around the store. Raye glanced out of the corner of her eye back at Yugi. Another presence...interesting she thought as her eyes went down to the Millenium Puzzle. Her eyes widened at the power she sensed coming from within, A dark aura...and it's very powerful...could this be a new enemy...or could this be the power we've been looking for?

Tea, Joey, Brian, Duke, and Serenity looked around the city pool, staring at all the occupants. "Geez...this place looks like it's almost full up," Brian observed as he watched a few kids do a cannonball, splashing the people around them. "Yep...anyone for a game of chicken?" Duke suggested as he threw his towel on a vacant chair. Brian looked at him, "Dude...you need help. I think you love dice just a little too much,".

Duke looked at him confused, "What do you mean?" he asked. Brian shook his head and wandered to the concession stand while Tea pointed at his trunks, which had dozens of different dice designed into them. He shrugged, "I don't need help,". Tea and Serenity exchanged looks, thinking otherwise.

Brian stood in line at the snack bar, his wallet in his hand. "C'mon...c'mon! I swear, if they're are no nachos left...heads will roll!" he threatened shaking his fist in the air, making the people around him look as though he were a mental patient. He looked at them, "What? You wanna piece of me!" he yelled.

He felt a hand on his shoulder and he turned around to see Amy and Serena behind him. "Oh, hey guys! Haven't seen you in awhile! How you been?" he asked cheerfully. Serena walked up to his face and her eyes became big and watery, "Brian-kun...can you buy me something to snack on?" she asked, her lip quivering.

Amy sighed as Brian stared at her. "No," he said simply. Serena fell over backwards then came right back up, "Pwease?" she asked. Again, "NO," he said, this time more firmly. "WAHHHH! MEANY!" Serena wailed before stomping away from the line. Brian looked at Amy, "Is she always like that?" he asked. Amy nodded slowly, "Unfortunately. So how have you been?" she asked. Brian shrugged, "Well, my back's healed after that wall I got thrown into," he muttered.

The blue haired girl nodded, "I heard what happened, you're very lucky Sailor Moon showed up,". Brian grinned, "More ways then one. I thought they were kinda of a myth, but seein' them in action, well now I'm a believer,". He glanced behind Amy and shook his head, "Oh boy...,". She turned around to see Serena smiling widely as a boy with wild black hair handed her some cash. "She never gives up does she?" he asked Amy. Again, she shook her head, "Nope,".

Serena came back up to them and tugged at Amy's arm, "C'mon Amy, this line is too long. Let's go to the store across the street!" she urged, pulling her friend away. "Ah! Serena!" Amy tried to stop her, but it was no use. She turned to face Brian, "Sorry! Gotta go!" she said before disappearing into the crowd.

"Next in line,"

Brian turned back around and walked up to the counter to see a man with short blonde hair standing there, elbows on the counter. "Hmm...gimme five drinks, and the biggest order of nachoes ya got!" Brian ordered, pulling out a small wad of bills. The man nodded and disappeared for a few minutes before coming back with a large tray of cold drinks and a large carton of heavily cheese covered nachoes.

The teen nodded, "Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about! Thanks man!". Grabbing his things, Brian walked around until he found his friends. Tea and Serenity were sunbathing while Joey and Duke were dunking each other. "Guys, cut it out, you're gonna get into trouble!" Serenity warned them. Brian took a seat next to Tea and handed the two girls their drinks while setting the others aside. "What kept you?" Tea asked him as she sat up and taking off her sunglasses. Brian sighed as he tried to take apart a few nachoes that were glued together by the cheese, "I ran into a few...problems,".

Joey climbed out of the pool and reached for the nachoes, "Hey thanks for the grub man,". Brian pulled the nachoes away, "No touchy,". The blonde duelist looked in disbelief, "C'mon man, I'm hungry!" he protested. "Yeah, well. These are my nachoes. Mine and mine alone, meaning they are just for me!" Brian explained before stuffing his mouth full of the cheesy snack.

Tea leaned over and pulled her sunglasses down, giving Brian the big blue eye look, "May I have some please?" she asked sweetly. Brian nodded and she took a small handful while Joey stared in shock. "Hey! You just said it was your's alone!" he yelled, pointing at him. Brian puffed his chest up, "I never deny a hungry, and beautiful lady, food. Serenity, you want some?" he asked, holding the carton up.

Serenity nodded and grabbed some while Joey's stomach growled, "Man, this ain't fair! What do I gotta do, put on a dress!". Duke grinned, "You do that, and you'd make everyone throw up," he cracked. Duke recieved a large bump on his head for that one.

"INCOMING!"

Joey turned around just as a large beach ball collided with his face. Serenity put a hand to her mouth to keep from laughing out loud at her brother. Joey growled as the ball plopped to the ground. He picked it up, "OK WHO THE HELL JUST THREW THAT!" he screamed. Brian watched as Serena came running up, "Sorry! I said incoming!".

The two of them stopped and stared at each other for a few moments. The others tilted their heads, watching their friend and the newcomer with interest. "Methinks Wheeler has a thing for blondes," Duke said matter-of-factly, nodding. Joey's eye twitched and he shoved him in the pool. Brian walked up to the both of them, "Well, I guess someone should say something eh? Joey, this is Serena. Serena, this is Joey Wheeler," he introduced patting them both on the shoulder.

Where have I seen this girl before? Joey asked himself

Serena had the same thoughts I know this dude...

"Ok...," Brian said slowly, backing away from the two of them, "I'll just...leave you to it...,". Tea looked at him as he sat down with his nachoes once more, "You're just gonna leave them like that!" she hissed. He shrugged, "Looks like," he muttered before munching some more of his snack. Serena took the ball and cleared her throat, "Sorry for that...," she said quietly.

Joey shook his head, "Nah...it's fine,". Serena shifted uncomfortably, then walked back the way she came. Serenity nudged her brother, "You ok, Joey?" she asked. He nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine," he said quietly. That girl...I know her from somewhere. Where though? I've never seen her in town before. I'd remember her name along with her face, if she was from Domino.

Brian reached down for some more cheesy goodness but frowned. He looked down to find his platter of snacks gone. "Hey, I had a bunch of nachoes here...who ate 'em?" he snapped. Tea, Serenity and Joey shook their heads. Brian slowly turned around to look at Duke. The dice duelist showed him his hands, "Hey man, I'm clean! See? Nothing on my fingers!" he said quickly. Brian pointed to his mouth. Duke touched his upper and lower lip and felt something sticky, "Um...I can explain the cheese!".

"I'm giving you...to the count of three...," Brian growled. Duke gulped and ran off to another area of the pool. Brian sighed and stood up, taking out his wallet, "I'll be back...," he muttered as he walked away. After waiting awhile in line again, Brian made it to the counter and saw the same blonde man standing there. "Hey, you don't have any other help?" Brian asked him. The man smiled, "Not today, it's just me. What can I get you?" he asked.

Brian sighed, "Another large order of nachos...extra cheese!". The man left and came back within a minute carrying the tray of chips, "Here you go,". Brian handed him the money, "Thanks man,". Brian muttered under his breath as he walked away, "This is my cheese. Dice boy touch my cheese again, he gonna regret it!". Jadite watched Brian leave from behind the counter and grinned wickedly, Fool...

He left the counter and entered the back room where a couple of people in pool staff uniform lay motionless. Jadite opened a small hatch in the hall to find a large pipe running by it. He ran his finger across the top of it, and a thick line appeared in the metal. "Shiva...time for you to play," he whispered as a small bluish green slug came out of his hand and entered the pipe that supplied water for the pool.
