"Jaden, Jesse!"

"Oh, Ms. Fontaine, what's wrong?" Both boys looked up from the T.V. where they were watching the lastest Yugi battle.

"He's awake!"

They just stared at her for a moment, then both of them realized what she was talking about.

"Oh, that's awesome." Jaden stood up and started following Ms. Fontaine. "C'mon bro, get your shoes on."

"I'm trying" Jesse called after them. He finally caught up with them. It took them two minutes to get to the hospital. They quietly entered the room. Colin was sitting up at his bed, looking at the cover of a magazine.

"Colin...?" He looked up from the magazine to look at the three. He smiled.

"Hello... who may you be?"

"Ms. Fontaine, remember? I told you ten minutes ago."

"Of course Ms. Fontaine. I meant the two others."

"This is Jesse, and Jaden." She presented the two boys. "They're the ones that found you."

"Well, I guess it's you two that I have to thank."

"It's no problem bro."

Colin cocked his head to the side. "'Bro...' What does that word mean?"

"Well, uh... it's short for brother."

"But you are not my brother... I think. I can't really remember... anything..." He put his hand to his forehead, shaking his head slightly.

"It's ok. And bro is just a word to call friends."

"Are we friends?" Jaden could have sworn that Colin was glaring at him, but he must've been wrong. The only look on his face was one of curiosity.

"Well, we don't know eachother. I meant more that I'd like to be friends."

"I guess so..." He looked at Jesse who had been silent the whole time. Colin smiled.

"So, Jesse, right?"

"Yes."

"You saved me. I kind of remember seeing your face above me, making sure I was alive."

"Well, it wasn't just me. It was both me and Jay."

"Yes, I see..." Again, Jaden thought he saw a glare, but then Colin turned his face back to Jesse.

"May I ask... where am I?"

"You're at Duel Academy."

Colin just looked at Jesse, not getting it.

"You've never heard of Duel Academy?"

"No. Do you learn swordsmanship here?"

"Nooo... we learn to better our skills at Duel Monsters."

"What are... Duel Monsters...?"

"What, have you been living under a rock somewhere?"

Both Jesse and Jaden saw Colin glare at him this time.

"No, I haven't."

"Jaden, be nice. He doesn't remember anything. Speaking of which," Jesse turned back to Colin. "Where are you from, if you can remember."

"I remember that I'm from California."

"Well, that's a long way to float..."

"I was just looking at this thin book, and there must be a printing mistake. It says it's 20--." He laughed, expecting Jaden and Jesse to laugh with him. When they didn't, he looked at them. "What a mistake, huh?"

"Uh, no, not really." Jesse looked worridly at Ms. Fontaine. She shrugged, then turned to Colin.

"Colin, when were you born."

"I don't really remember..."

"Ok, then, what's the last date you do remember?"

"The last time I checked the calender, right before I woke up here, it said it was... December 18, 18--."

They all just gaped at him, expecting him to jump out of bed screaming "You've been Punked!" When he didn't, they shook their heads.

"You mean-"

"-you're over-"

"-a hundred years old?!?"
