Where Dreams Begin
Troy looked around before falling down. His face was flushed and he was so very tired. The lady checked. There were no records of Troy ever existing, anywhere. She looked at him concerned as he lay there passed out on his couch. Finally hours later he woke up to the smell of sizzling meat. He felt drool drip down his mouth.
"Casey, down!" The yellow lab yipped and then jumped off of Troy. "So, are you hungry?"
"… Uh, I think so."
"What's your name kid, I couldn't find you in any databases."
"Troy, Troy…" He grasped his head. His last name, what was it? "I… have no idea." The shock hit him. He didn't even know who he was.
She sighed and then handed him a deck of cards. "Here, I'll teach you how to play. It'll keep your mind off worrying about things. My name is Liz."
The cards felt oddly familiar, he nodded with a solemn look on his face.
"Hey! Hot guy! Cutie with the good clothes!" The man turned around, his eggshell scarf twirled ever so slightly.
"Oh honey, we need to run back to the village. Get away from the scary volcano, 'kay?" She didn't like to assume things but this guy was almost as flaming as he was hot.
"Are you gay?"
"Aren't you a young girl?"

"Woohoo! That was awesome! Fun! Sweet! You run really really fast!" He sighed, unsure of whether he could handle her. "Oh yeah! Cards! I want to duel! Errr, how do I duel again? I know I used to a lot! I was like really good at it too! I'd play cards like wabam! Ya know? I'd be like thirty two hit ultra killer combo -" His hand was soon over her mouth.
"First things first. Name?" He removed his hand.
"Akari." He then put it back on before she could go on.
"Okay darling, my name's Kaleel. I'll teach you how to play so relax okay. Afterwords we can sort out the other things." He handed her a deck and then she started shuffling. These felt really familiar, and it was awesome.
It was time to have a heated battle to prove who was more on fire! She never lost when it came to hot-bloodedness! Even if he is flaming…
