"AIBOU! GET UP! WE SLEPT IN!" came the spirit's cry in Yuugi's ear.
"Wha…? Oh shit!" Yuugi mumbled sleepily, realizing that he was going to be late for his first class! He threw off the covers, hastily put on his school uniform, snatched his Puzzle and bag then hopped on one foot down the hall as he put on his white sneakers; plucking a piece of toast from a plate as he left. He raced through the busy streets, still a bit disoriented by sleep. Yuugi was never a morning person.
/*yawn* Mou Hitori no Boku? Can you please switch with me? You're the faster runner and plus…*yawn* you're more awake…/ The spirit sighed. He wasn't a big fan of coming out when there wasn't a good reason…like a duel.
"Alright, Aibou, but you owe me huge for this!" The two switched, and the Other Yuugi ran, slowly at first, coaxing his aibou's sleepy body into alertness and then picking up the pace as he felt the limps respond. He sped through the streets, ducking briefcases, squeezing between pedestrians and jaywalking his way towards Domino High. He'd just spotted the building – there were still people outside, which meant that the first bell hadn't rung just yet. He grinned and ran faster, as he knew it would ring at any moment.
/Hey Aibou what class do we have first again?/
"*yawn*…. Gym …. *zzz*" Yuugi faded back into the corner of the spirit's mind, where it was harder to reach him.
/Shit! Aibou wake up! I am NOT doing gym for you AGAIN! I don't care if you want to prove to sensei that you've "grown", I WON'T DO IT!/ The spirit yelled through the link, attempting to wake up his sleeping other half. It didn't work. He could sense that his partner was sleeping contently. The spirit rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"I am SO getting him back for this…" He muttered under his breath as he entered the building, turning left and storming towards the gym.

Unlike many girls her age, Anzu didn't have any issues with gym as a first period class. It helped her wake up, both mentally and physically. It didn't matter to her that she would be sweaty for the rest of the day – she was used to hard work in her dance classes, and besides she wasn't the type that sweat profusely. She had arrived long before the first bell, enjoying the girl's change room all to herself, then beginning some pre-class stretches as her classmates filed in. She paid little attention to them as she bent her knees, placing her fingers over her curled toes, until she heard Jounouchi yell.
"Hey, Yuugi! Wow, you're in luck today! Sensei seems to be running late!"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm sure that today is my lucky day…I get to do aibou's gym class for him!" The pitch of voice…it had to be! Anzu's head shot up from her hamstring stretching towards the owner, who was looking quite pissed, but…
"For Ra's sake, he had a nap yesterday! He shouldn't be tired! He slept all night last night – he even slept in!" Anzu blushed. It was him! The Other Yuugi had made an appearance…in school of all places. He didn't show up at school often, unless there was a serious duel going on – not the matches they played on the tabletops at recess though. Anzu sighed happily. And if she had heard right, it would seem that the Other Yuugi would be sticking around for gym class! She could definitely talk to him as they ran laps for warm up…or if they played organized games, she'd definitely play whichever game he wanted to play…anything to take advantage of what little time they shared together. She resumed her stretches with newfound excitement as Yuugi disappeared into the boy's change room.
