"So, how far do you think you'll get here?"

Serenity looked up from her soda can towards the raven-haired girl from the line, "Well, I hope to get at least this first stage. I've always wanted to be in a pageant, so I'm gonna do my best," she said quietly, lightly shaking her can, "What about you?".

Her new friend looked nervous, "Well...honestly, I had to come here for a couple of friends...they said I was the best one out of our little group to try it, so I had to. Oh, by the way, my names Raye. Raye Hino," she said, holding out her hand.

"Serenity Wheeler, nice to meet you,"

Joey tapped the table nervously while his friends were walking around the boat, hoping to catch either a duel, or to just relax on the open sea. He, however, couldn't stop hating the idea of his baby sister playing in a tournament that Pegasus held.

The last two things they had dealt with that involved Pegasus, was Duelist Kingdom and the Doma Organization. Both times, he and his friends were put in danger in more ways than one.

"For Ra's sakes, Joey, ease up!"

The blonde snapped his head up as Brian plopped down in front of him, his deck in his hand. He rubbed the back of his neck, "Figured you'd be out trying to pull a Miroku on Tea, pal," he greeted quietly.

Brian looked shock and shook his head, "Just cuz I'm dating a hot dancer chick, I'm automatically designated as a pervert,".

"Brian...remember last Halloween?"

"Yeah, so what about? I didn't make any moves on Tea,"

"...Brian, you suggested she dress up as a dominatrix,"

The brunette's face turned red, "Uh...change of subject. Wassup with ya?".

Joey sighed and crossed his arms, "I don't like Serenity being in a dueling tournament,".

"Why not?"

"Do you forget what happens everytime we get involved in a tournament?"

"Yeah, but this is different,"

"How?"

Brian shrugged, "Because neither Yugi, Bakura or any other soul wanting freak is participating. Besides, should that ever rise, the deck I helped Serenity make will keep her here,".

Joey's eyes widened, "YOU helped her make her own deck?". Brian frowned and nodded slowly, "So what if I did? You know how good I make my decks. She just told me what she wanted in her deck, and I helped her make it,"

-----

"So, what kinda deck do you use?" Raye asked casually as she and Serenity walked along the cruise ship. Serenity held up her disk, "Well...mainly Warriors, most of them female and I got a couple of tricks in here,".

Raye nodded, "So you're a Warrior user? I'm a Spellcaster user,".

"Oh, like Yugi!"

"You know Yugi?" Raye asked, surprised.

Serenity nodded, "Oh yes, he and my big brother Joey are good friends,".

Raye smiled, "Well I work for Yugi and his grandfather in their game shop! Maybe when this is over, we can hang out later,".

Before she could give a reply, a gruff voice interrupted the duo's conversation, "I'm sorry...but did you say you know Joey Wheeler?".

Serenity looked ahead to see a boy, not very tall, maybe a little bit taller than her wearing a red cap that covered his lightly tinted purple bangs, his green jacket hanging loosely above his brown cargo pants, "Um...yes, I do know him. I'm Serenity Wheeler, his little sister,".

The boy in the cap grinned and crossed his arms, showing the two girls that he had a duel disk on his arm, "Is that so? Well you know you're brothers a no good thief?". Serenity scowled at him, "He is NOT a thief! Why would you say that?" she demanded.

"Because he stole my best and favorite card!"

"He would never do anything like that! Who are you, anyway?".

The boy growled and inserted a deck into his disk, "I'm surprised he hasn't told you about me. I'm Rex Raptor and I'm one of the dueling mercs that Pegasus hired to eliminate the duelists that suck at this game. Namely, every chick that ain't Mai Valentine!".

Raye glared at him, "Girls aren't bad at Duel Monsters, you creep! They're just as good as the boys!".

"Shut it, girly," Rex snapped at her, glaring hard at them both, "Wheeler's a thief and a 3rd rate duelist, end of story!".

The raven-haired girl was about to go over and kill him, except Serenity held out her arm, stopping her, "Don't do it, Raye," she whispered. Raye looked at her surprised, "The ass just insulted us girls, and your big brother! You're just gonna take that?" she hissed.

Serenity shook her head and put her hands on her hips, "Nope...I'm gonna duel him,".

"What!"

Rex let out a laugh, "Oh man...this is gonna be fun. I'm gonna enjoy every second of this, you little brat,".

Kilnorc: well there's that one. I hope it's good. Sorry for not doing it sooner, just been busy. Also, due to some technical problems, I won't be doing much updates on my GX rewrite...sorry guys. But it'll give me time to do this, and my Harry Potter crossover. ja ne.

P.S. if you thought this one was a little boring, the next chapter will make up for it! Promise.
