Chapter 2: The puzzle

"Yes, I've nearly done this thing! Just one piece left." Cherry exclaimed as she reached into the golden box and pulled out the final puzzle piece. She pushed the brick into its place and stared in glee at what her hard work had given her.

A golden pyramid with an unusual symbol on it, unlike anything she'd ever seem before. A strange looking eye surrounded by Egyptian hieroglyphs. She stared deeply into the eye; she could hear voices inside her head, and music. There were so many she couldn't concentrate on what any of them were saying. The music she could hear was happy and bouncy then changed to sad and slow. In amongst all the voices, Cherry thought she could hear people sobbing and chanting in the background. She snapped out of her trance when a powerful stab of pain rushed to her head.

She dropped the yellow metal and clutched the sides of her skull in pain. She doubled over and cried out in agony. Cherry grabbed hold of the coffee table and hauled herself up and somehow managed to hobble to the kitchen. She snatched a packet of aspirin and popped two of the white pills into her mouth and guzzled them down with a drink of water. It took a few minutes, but the pain eventually disappeared.

She slumped into her armchair and sipped the tea she made earlier. Cherry picked up the small pyramid from the floor and ran a violet ribbon through the hole at the top, then threaded it through her jeans to form a makeshift belt. She gazed at her image in the mirror, her reflection smiled at her as she checked the time in her wristwatch.

"Oh my daze, I best get going!" Cherry drained the last of her tea, grabbed her jacket and bag from the coat hanger and dashed out the front door.

"Wait till you meet her Joe, she's so much fun!" Tristan remarked as he and his long time friend, Joey Wheeler, walked together about Domino town.

"Tristan are you in love?"

"What?"

"You've been talking about this girl non-stop all morning!"

"No! I'm just exited, I suppose. It's been a long time since I made a new friend."

"I still think you're just frustrated."

"Shut up Joey!" And playfully punched him in the arm. "She'll probably be around here somewhere. When I called her earlier she said she'll be out all day."

The two friends walked for a while longer, drinking drinks, eating sweets and generally having a good time, until…

"Hey there's Yugi! YUGI!" Joey pointed out before running off to the boy.

"Hey Joe, what's up?" Asked the multicolored, starfish like boy.

"Well Tristan…"

"Yugi, I met a girl!" The black haired teenager butted in.

"Yeah."

"That's great Tristan! What's her name?"

"Her name's Cherry Franklin." Tristan replied as the two began walking down the road together.

"Hmmm. Why does that name sound so familiar? Oh well." Joey thought as he ran after the other two down the road.
