When they all arrived in the grand dining room, the feast already prepared for them. Yugi realized that he wanted his Grandpa and father with them.
Yugi walked to Sababah and asked him to teleport his Grandpa and father here, and Sababah happily did so.
Both Solomon and Joe were surprised when they saw everyone, including Yugi. Running up to his grandfather and father, Yugi was picked up by both of them, being hugged very tightly. Everyone awed at that, because Yugi looked so small in comparison.
"I'm so happy to see you again, my son." whispered Joe to Yugi, who was smiling the whole time.
"Thanks heavens that you're alive Yugi!" exclaimed Solomon.
They both let him go as everyone proceeded to a wonderful feast. At the grand dining table, Yami stood up with a wine glass in his hand, except there was fruit juice in the cup, not wine.
"Friends, family, I have an announcement to make." Everyone set their utensils down and was listening.
"To start off, I will continue being the Pharaoh of New Egypt. Tea and I will be married tomorrow morning, meaning the wedding will be family and friends only, with Sababah as the Justice of the Peace. So, I wish to make a toast, to the celebration of being together again, and of finding our salvation! A toast!"
"A toast!" shouted everyone, clanging their wine cups together; all but Grandpa holding up a piece of actual toasted bread. Everyone slowly looked at Grandpa, as he looked chibi and said
"What? You said a toast."
There was an awkward 2 second silence, and everyone bursted into laughter, all except for Solomon.
He looked chibi still, as he shrugged his shoulders and ate the toast whole. This made yet another awkward silence, and everyone was laughing again. Yami glanced at Yugi, who was happily enjoying a strawberry cake pop.
"Yugi, may I talk to you in private after dinner?"
"Hmm? Sure Yami-"
"BUTTER BISCUITS!" squealed Bakura as he dived for the bread basket, stuffing two biscuits in his mouth at once.
Yugi looked at Bakura, who was chibi content in eating his butter biscuits, hearts around Bakura.
Yugi and Yami playfully rolled their eyes, and everyone continued eating the wonderful feast.
After dinner, Yami asked everyone to go to bed, since Yugi and he would be walking for awhile.
With both Yami and Yugi walking together down the large hallway, Yami was the first to speak.
"Yugi, I have so much to say, it's hard to choose where to start."
Yugi seemed different, like more happy and joyful than usual. His hands were behind his back, and he strided with great confidence. "Well, start wherever your heart tells you to start." replied Yugi, now looking up at the high marble stone ceilings.
"I...I want to apologize for everything I've done that's hurt you, Yugi."
Yugi stopped walking, which caught Yami off guard.
Yugi was silent for some time, but turned to Yami and calmly said
"Yami, I forgive you of everything that troubles your mind. I forgive you of anything that sets your mind off balance. I'm sorry Yami, for everything I have done. I can only hope that you will come to forgive me."
Yami stood, a little awestruck on how much Yugi has changed, how much he's matured.
"I forgive you too, Yugi." but Yami was surprised to feel Yugi's little arms wrap around him, his head against his chest.
"I'll always love you, Yami." said Yugi, looking up at him with his huge innocent eyes.
Yami couldn't help but grin widely, hugging Yugi back. "Yugi, there's something I wish to show you. Come, hold my hand and close your eyes."
Yami and Yugi preceded down the hallway, making a left turn to a tall swirly staircase, the kind one might find for a tall tower.
When they both reached the top, they were indeed at the very top of a roofless tower. Yami brought Yugi to the very edge of the tower, allowing Yugi to hold the rail.
"Yugi, you can open your eyes now."
Turning from a view of the back of Yugi's head to the front of his face, his eyes widened. His mouth was agape with joyous awe at the breathtaking sight that was before him.
In the bright golden sunset that was a little above the mountains, the beauty of Cairo, New Egypt proved to be a beautiful sight. The two largest pyramids, one of ancient old, one of futuristic new, both reflected their unique shine in the air, both the shines crossing each other in the shape of an x. Birds flew across the sky towards the sunset, the city itself fused with ancient building and futuristic ones.
Yugi stood there for a good 5 minutes, awe struck and taking in the moment. Yami enjoyed the sight with him, also breathing in the fresh cool air, taking in the moment.
"Well Yugi? What do you think? Have I done well in restoring Egypt? After all, we did do it together."
Yugi's face changed from awestruck to calm, now looking at Yami straight in the eyes.
"We did a perfect job, Yami." said Yugi as he gave Yami thumbs up. Yami gave him thumbs up back, as they both were laughing, walking back down the tower and to bed.
Both of them felt a connection that was stronger than any they had ever had before. They slept very well that night, both thinking of each other before falling asleep.
Everything was just right, everything would last this way...forever.
