Alright, hear is my horrible excuse as to why I haven't updated. Basically I told myself I wouldn't update until I finished Chapter 5, but because it has been so long since I last updated, I felt bad and went back on the promise I made myself and decided to update. :)
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Gi Oh 5D's.
Ally trudged up the stairs to her apartment, her bag slung over her shoulder. Even though it was 4 o' clock, Ally was tired. It was hard work serving customers, and waiting on Jack every other second because he drank so much damn coffee. She had changed out of her waitress uniform at the restaurant and had changed back into her normal attire of jeans, tank top, leather jacket and boots. She was just about to put her key into the slot when someone called her name.
"Ally!"
Ally looked down to the bottom of the stairs to see Crow, the man she had met at the restaurant earlier staring up at her. She and Crow had become rather good friends at the restaurant, chatting whenever she came by to refill Jack's order of Blue Eyes Mountain coffee.
"Do you wanna stop by and meet our other friends?" Crow asked.
Crow had mentioned that he and Jack lived with another one of their friends, Yusei, but he hadn't really mentioned anyone else. To be honest, she really wanted to see some new people, what a better way to settle into Neo Domino City by making more new friends? Besides, Crow was her only friend in Neo Domino City so far so she was in no position to decline his offer anyway.
"Sure, why not?" Ally answered, dropping her bag down in front of her apartment door before descending the steps and standing next to Crow.
"Right this way, Miss." Crow teased, looping their arms together and dragging her towards the garage. Ally laughed, letting him loop their arms together and started walking towards his apartment. Crow was such a flirty person, and usually Ally stayed away from those types of people, but Crow wasn't one of those people that didn't care about people's feelings. He was really a sensitive person and just liked to have fun. It was funny; Ally had never felt this close to anyone before, not even her own parents. Although her parents were a rather sore subject and she usually stayed away from the topic, however when Crow had initially started asking questions about her family back at the Café she didn't ignore the question, or skirt around it like she usually did when she met new people, she just flat out answered that it was a difficult thing to talk about, and he left it at that. She didn't want anything weird between them, and the faster he knew what to avoid, the better.
"You guys live in the garage?" Ally questioned, raising her eyebrows at her orange haired companion.
"Well, we have a separate apartment, but that's where we traditionally hang out, it's easier on us because we have to modify our D-Wheel's for the WRGP." Crow responded, shrugging his shoulders as if it wasn't a big deal.
"That's cool," Ally mused, "I have to check on my D-Wheel anyway, I hope it didn't take up to much room."
Crow opened the garage door and pulled her inside, "Oh, it's no big deal, we just had to move Jack's D-Wheel outside."
Just then, Jack came descending down the stairs from the upstairs part of the apartment, cup of ramen in hand, "YOU'RE THE REASON MY WHEEL OF FORTUNE IS OUTSIDE!" He exclaimed.
"Here we go," Crow commented placing his head in his hand. Jack and Ally had been at each other's throats ever since they had met at the Café, that is until Ally's boss would come over and insist that she pay attention to her other customer's or Jack would threaten to tell Ally's boss that she was disrespecting him. It was never ending in Crow's opinion and drove him insane, although he had to admit, Ally did a good job of putting Jack in his place.
"Well, sorry King, but Zora insisted that I park my D-Wheel in the garage instead of leaving it outside. I said that I didn't really care, but you know Zora, she's persistent." Ally explained herself, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Yea, we know," A young man, that looked to be the same age as Crow and Ally entered the room. He had raven black hair with gold streaks running through them with cobalt eyes and tanned skin, he was much taller than both Crow and Ally, but seemed to be just a little shorter than Jack, although Jack was a giant compared to everyone. "She's a little stubborn sometimes."
"Hey Yusei," Crow greeted, waving his hand, "This is Ally," He gestured towards the strawberry blonde haired girl, "We meet her today, she's living in the apartment above us."
"So you're the one with the D-Wheel," Yusei stated looking over at the D-Wheel that was parked in Wheel of Fortune's place.
"Yea, sorry," Ally's cheeks flushed, and she shrugged her shoulders.
"Ah, it's no big deal." Yusei waved his hand in a dismissing manner.
"No big deal? IT IS DEFINITELY A BIG DEAL! WHAT IF WHEEL OF FORTUNE GETS STOLEN?" Jack shouted, throwing one arm in the air, while the other held his ramen.
"No one but you would love that pile of metal anyway." A violet haired girl with amber eyes descended the stairs and stood beside Yusei, grasping his hand in her own.
"Look! Aki's here!" Crow exclaimed, "Hey Aki! How've you been?"
"I've been good," the woman, Aki, replied.
"Hey," Yusei whispered.
"Hey there," Aki replied, placing a gentle kiss on his lips, it was definitely one of those moments when the audience in people's heads went "AWWW!" "Who's this?" she asked gesturing at Ally.
Ally stepped forward, "I'm Ally Davis, I just moved into the apartment upstairs."
"I see," Aki mused, "So, is this your D-Wheel?" She questioned pointing to the D-Wheel in the spot that Wheel of Fortune usually occupied. Aki assumed it had to have been hers seeing as she has never seen that D-Wheel in the garage.
"Uh yea, that's my D-Wheel. I know it doesn't look that impressive, but my friends and I built it from scratch," Ally said beaming at her pride and joy.
"You built your D-Wheel?" Aki questioned.
"Well, yea, my parents would never let me buy one, so me and my friends decided to make one ourselves." Ally shrugged, scratching the back of her head.
"That's funny, because I made my D-Wheel too, from scraps I found." Yusei stated proudly, still holding onto Aki's hand tightly. Ally glanced over at the red D-Wheel she assumed was Yusei's. It was definitely a lot more impressive than hers, and it was made out of junk scraps.
"Coolio."
"Does it have a name?" Crow asked.
"Uh, no… You guys name your D-Wheels?" Ally inquired raising her eyebrows. Now it made sense why Jack kept referring to his D-Wheel as "Wheel of Fortune".
"Well of course! Like a teenager names their first car, we name our D-Wheels!" Crow explained going over to his black D-Wheel, "This is Blackbird, the red one over there is Yusei's, Yusei Go and Jack's, the one out on the curb, is Wheel of Fortune."
"Sounds interesting, I'll have to think of one for mine sometime." Ally said looking at her own turquoise D-Wheel; it practically gleamed in the florescent lighting. There wasn't any real way to describe it, it looked like your basic motorcycle with a monitor and her duel disk inserted inside it. Ally had never really thought of naming her D-Wheel, it never really occurred to her, and even if she did decide to name it, it would probably end up getting some boring, generic name like Bob or George. She'd have to think of something later.
"I wouldn't really worry about it," Aki said to Ally moving away from Yusei and placing a hand on the girl's shoulder, "I haven't named my D-Wheel either."
"Okay, as long as there is no pressure." Ally teased, causing the small group to laugh, well except for Jack, who still hasn't grown accustomed to Ally's presence and was still rather annoyed by it.
She couldn't really place her finger on it, but Ally really liked Aki. She was very comforting, and witty, it reminded her of her in a sense, and Ally found it comforting. It was like she found her twin! Well, she thought she had found her twin. Aki was truly a stubborn and persistent girl, who was witty, but Aki listened to her heart, something Ally didn't do all that often and not well to say the least.
"Hey Aki?" Yusei called to his girlfriend of a year that stood next to Ally.
"Yea, Yusei?"
"Where are the twins? You did just come here from Duel Academia right?"
"Um, yea they should be here by-"
"WE'RE HERE!" A young male voice called from upstairs. Two pairs of feet came trampling down the stairs and appeared before the group. Both kids had green hair with golden eyes; the girl had her hair in pigtails while the boy had his hair in a ponytail, they looked to be about 12.
"Does that answer your question?" Aki teased.
Yusei shrugged, the twins never ceased to amaze him. Well, at least Rua, who seemed to be a bundle of never ending energy and obliviousness. Ruka was the calmer twin, always telling Rua what an idiot he was being.
"Ally, this is Rua and Ruka." Crow introduced pointing at the twins.
"Hi, I'm Ruka." The one in pigtails stated, giving a small wave to which Ally returned with a wave of her own.
The boy began stuttering, "I-I-I'm R-R-Rua… Did you know you're really pretty?" It came out in a rush, like he felt that if he didn't say it, his insides would burst, or he would lose his nerve. Aki giggled next to Ally, she could barely control her laughter. The same could be said for Yusei and Crow. Although Crow seemed a little uneasy about what Rua had said. Rua had been so straightforward with saying that Ally was pretty. If only Crow could get up the nerve to say it to her himself.
Ally giggled into her hand quietly, a light blush covering her cheeks, "Thank you, Rua." She smiled gratefully at him. "It's funny actually I have twin siblings about your age."
"Really?" Rua shouted in amazement, it was amazing that he got over his little stuttering as well. "That's so cool! We'll have to meet them sometime!"
"Sounds like a plan." Ally offered a smile to them.
"So whose D-Wheel is this?" Ruka asked walking over to the turquoise D-Wheel.
"Might as well call me D-Wheel girl," Ally muttered, to which Crow overheard. He came over and patted her on the back.
"Beats waitress, right?" Crow teased her. Ally glanced at him and elbowed him in the ribs.
"Watch it," She said in a playful tone. Aki watched in amazement. It seemed like Crow was really into her, and she had just moved in. Aki sighed; she had been trying to set up Crow with someone for months now. She hated the role of matchmaker, but she felt like she owed it to Crow, she didn't want him feeling like a third wheel with all the couples surrounding him. Her and Yusei, Jack and Carly, hell, even Ushio and Mikage. He was practically drowning in a sea of couples! 'At least he's found someone to sweep off their feet.' Aki thought. It had been miserable attempting to play matchmaker for Crow. She had tried everyone she knew, even her icky cousin Marissa, who mind you was definitely not going to be a swimsuit model no matter how many times she convinced herself otherwise.
"That's Ally's." Yusei answered. "Zora had her park hers here for awhile."
Jack huffed, "Poor Wheel of Fortune, all alone and cold in the cruel world."
Ally shot him a glare, "I'm sorry alright! How many times must I apologize before you let it go?"
"A million more times." Jack said, tossing away his now empty cup ramen in order to cross his arms over his chest to stand in his signature stance.
"C'mon Jack," Crow cried, "It's not a big deal, Wheel of Fortune will be fine, and if it's not I'll put Blackbird out there instead and we can switch."
"No, I've got an idea," Ally snapped her fingers, "We'll settle this over a duel, if I win my D-Wheel stays here, but if you win then I'll put my D-Wheel outside."
Jack thought this over for a moment. "You're so on, Waitress."
