Chapter 47

A/N: I debated on whither or not to post this chapter. I apologize if it wasn't a good idea.

Also, thanks for the reviews on the last Chapter. I was getting worried that I did something to make people mad.

If there is something that's bothering you, about the story, tell me. I'll listen. I want to make this story better for everyone.

As April was now starting, it was getting warm enough that Leo and Luna could ride the Christmas gifts that Yusei and Akiza got them for Christmas.

Their two new bikes were inside the garage on a cool spring Saturday morning.

Leo and Luna were getting done watching a TV show, while Akiza and Yusei talked to one another.

"What do you want to do today?" Akiza asked.

"I don't know," he replied.

"Why don't you go rake the yard and get all of the leftover leaves into some trash bags," Martha hinted at.

Yusei rolled his eyes.

"Well, I guess we'll have to since there's nothing to..."

"Yusei!"

Leo ran up to him.

"Can you help Luna and me ride our new bikes? It's warm enough now and it looks like a good day to ride!"

Yusei smiled.

"Sure Leo, just wait a few minutes," he said.

Leo ran off happily.

"Whoops. Guess I can't rake those leaves," Yusei said.

He got up.

"Maybe tomorrow then?" Akiza noted.

"Thanks Akiza," Yusei said sarcastically.

Martha and Akiza giggled.

Later, Yusei, Akiza, Leo and Luna went into the garage.

"It sure is dusty for only being in here a few months," Leo said as blew the dust off his bike.

"Why did you ask for our help?" Akiza asked.

"Because Leo can't ride a two-wheeler yet," Luna said, "But I can."

"Why is that?" Yusei asked.

"He was too busy playing video games all those years we were stuck at home," Luna said, "I taught myself how to do it."

"Hey! I had fun with those games," Leo said as he put on a helmet, "Besides, I never thought I'd need to learn how to ride one."

"Well, you will now," Yusei said as he opened the door and took it into the street.

The sun was shining as Leo stepped up to the bike.

"Okay, first we have to get you onto the bike," Akiza said.

Leo stepped on the peddle and then sat down.

"Hey that was..."

Leo started to tip.

Bang!

"Ow!," Leo screamed, "My knee!"

"Let's go looks for some elbow and knee pads," Yusei said.

Later, Leo has on blue elbow and knee pads on.

"Let's try this again," Yusei said, "I'll hold the bike so that it won't tip."

Leo stepped on the pedal and tripped trying to get his leg to the other side.

He landed, face first, onto the hard pavement.

"You don't have a face guard do you?" Leo asked.

"Nope," Yusei said,"You've got all the protection we've got left."

Leo sighed.

After a few more tries, Leo was able to stay on the bike. He now had to keep it upright, while it was in motion.

"Okay," Yusei said, "I'll hold it for a little while and then let go. You know how to go forward."

"Okay," Leo said.

They slowly moved forward and then Yusei let go.

"Wait, did I forget something?" Yusei thought.

"I'm doing it! I'm doing it!" Leo screamed.

He then started heading for a neighbor's yard.

"Yusei!" he screamed.

"What?" Yusei asked as he ran to try to catch up to him.

Yusei knew this was going to be bad.

"How do I stop?" Leo asked.

"Squeeze the bar on your handlebar!" Yusei shouted.

It was too late.

Leo landed head-first into a garbage can.

Akiza, Yusei, and Luna ran up to him.

Yusei and Akiza tried to pull him out.

"Face you guys, Leo's just can't handle a two-wheeler," Luna said.

"Yes I can," Leo shouted as Yusei and Akiza got him out and set him down.

"And I'm going to prove it," he said as he grabbed his bike.

Yusei ran after him.

"Luna, that was mean," Akiza said.

"No, it'll just give Leo more confidence to do it. He always does better when he's got more fire in him," Luna said.

Akiza and Luna walked back to the street.

"I know that I can do it," Leo thought, "I'll show Luna that I can ride a bike just as good as she can."

Leo grabbed the handle bars tightly.

Yusei noticed that Leo was a lot more tense than normal.

"Leo? Are you okay?" Yusei asked.

Leo was breathing heavily.

"I'm fine. Let's go," Leo said.

"Okay," Yusei said.

He pushed Leo a few feet and then let go.

Leo was more focused then ever.

"Just stay on. Don't go too fast," Leo thought.

He made his way, slowly, down the street.

"Keep going. Keep going."

Leo then realized it.

"I'm doing it! I'm..."

Leo fell off.

"Leo are you alright?" Yusei asked.

"I'm fine," he said in an upset tone.

He looked up at Yusei with a smile.

"Before lunch, I'm going to ride this to the end of the street and back," he said, "I promise!"

He hopped back on and Yusei went to help hold him.

"No thanks Yusei," Leo said, "I'm doing this one on my own."

Yusei let go and stood back.

At first, it was a little wobbly for Leo.

He then corrected his balance and got to the end of the street.

"Now, for the turn," Leo thought.

He started to turn, but ended up skidding.

He fell off.

"Again," he said.

He got up and ran back a ways.

He got on, rode to the end, and skidded again.

Akiza, Yusei, and Luna were now at the end of the street.

"Maybe you're not good enough for the turn. You can't do it," Luna called again.

"Yes I can! I will beat the turn!" Leo whispered to himself.

Yusei looked at his watch.

"It's almost time for lunch," he thought.

Leo biked slower this time and got around the turn.

"I did it," he screamed.

He biked down the street.

The three people watching smiled.

"Great job Leo," Yusei called.

Leo turned back around.

Yusei, Luna and Akiza started running back home.

Leo was going in the opposite direction.

"Hey, where are you going?" Leo called.

He got around the corner again and then headed back home.

The three of them stopped in front of the house.

"Well, you did your promise," Yusei said.

"I did?"

Akiza and Luna nodded.

"I did! Yahoo!"

Leo got on his bike and went in circles.

"I did it! I did it," he screamed, "I could ride this thing all day."

"Okay you guys," Martha called.

Leo stopped and everyone turned to her.

"It's time for lunch," she said.

"Lunch? All right," Leo screamed.

He put his bike down and ran past everyone.

When the three of them got inside, Leo was going through the food like a vacuum cleaner.

Martha was scolded him.

"Well, I guess there's one thing Leo can't turn down," Luna said.

The three of them laughed.
