Thanks to all who reviewed! All of you have given me the inspiration to just drop my homework and finish writing this chapter. I hope you all enjoy it. And please review; I love reviews, whether they are good or bad. Reviews get my creative juices flowing.

(Note: I'm not going to have Serenity (Joey's sister) go to the same school as the others. After all she does live with her mother, which is probably in a different place or town/city that Joey. And if anyone knows for a fact that Serenity does go to the same school as Joey and the others please tell me, ok?)

(Note 2: And I still haven't decided weather or not I'm going to put Mai isn't this story or not. If any of you that read this story and have an preference on weather or not I should add Mai in or not, please speak up, it would really help me out.)

Now on with the story!

Chapter 2

It's been about a month now since Sere started living with the Motou's, and because she couldn't remember anything from her past and since no one came looking for her, she became apart of the family; Grandpa went and adopted her as his Granddaughter. Grandpa hadn't seen Yugi so happy and energetic now that he had a sister around and Sere was just as happy and energetic. She was so happy now that she started acting as if this is how her life had been all along, as if nothing had even happened at all. And this is how she wanted it to stay.

Early that morning, Yugi and Sere were getting ready for school and Joey, Tristan, and Tea were coming over that morning so they all could walk to school together. Unfortunately, they only had an hour before they had to leave and there was no sign of Sere, and the others were going to be there any second.

Yugi was about to ask Yami for help in finding Sere, but Yugi didn't find him in his Soul Room. So, Yugi just shrugged his shoulders and went upstairs to his room to get his stuff. To his surprise, Yami wasn't there waiting for him. Yugi thought for sure if Yami wasn't in his Soul Room then he would be in his room sitting by his school stuff waiting for him. Once again Yugi shrugged his shoulders, grabbing his school stuff and went back downstairs to wait for the others to come.

Back upstairs, Sere could be seen still sleeping soundly in her bed. Also, someone could be seen standing in the shadows. This person seemed to be looking after the one sleeping so soundly. But, this person presents in the room always woke up the person sleeping so soundly in her bed. As on cue, Sere bolted straight up in her bed. Sere started to look around her room, sensing that someone was there. After about a minute of scanning her room for her intruder, her sight lands on the corner near her door. At first she saw someone standing there. After rubbing her eyes, trying to get a better view, she didn't see anyone standing there after all. She shook her head, deciding to get ready for school.

Yugi was only downstairs for about a minute when Joey, Tristan, and Tea showed up.

"Hey Yug." Joey greeted.

Yugi looked over towards the door to the shop, "Hey guys."

"Where's Sere?" Tea asked looking around.

"Well…" Yugi started.

"She just woke up." Yami finished, now standing in front of the stairs.

Everyone turned towards the stairs to see the Spirit of the Millennium Puzzle standing there. "And how would you know that?" Yugi asked. Yami didn't say anything; instead he just smirked and retreated back in his Soul Room inside the Millennium Puzzle.

Just as Yugi was about to interrogate Yami a shout could be heard coming from the top of the stairs, it was now obvious to all that Sere was defiantly awake. "Tea…" Sere's voice came from atop of the stairs.

"Yeah…?" Tea answered.

"Could you help me with my hair? I want to put it up in a pony tail this time." Sere replied.

"I'll be right there!" Tea shouted back up the stairs. Tea turned to the guys, "I'll be right back, so don't any of you dare taking off without us!" With that said, she headed up the stairs and into Sere's room.

The boys watched her go. "Why do I have the feeling that this could take a long while." Joey said to no one in particular.

Tea found Sere standing in front of her mirror with her hair down. This always surprised her; she could never get use to how long Sere's hair was. It was so long that it almost touched the ground. "So, what is it that you want to do?" Tea asked, walking into Sere's room and closed the door behind her.

Sere looked over at Tea and demonstrated with her hands what she wanted done, "This…"

Back downstairs, Joey was starting to get impatient, "What's taking them so long?"

"It's only been ten minutes, Joey!" Tristan pointed out.

Just as Tristan had finished his sentence, the girls could be heard coming down the stairs. Tea was the first to appear at the bottom of the stairs.

This surprised Joey, "Hey Tea, where's Sere?"

"Right behind me." Tea answered, pointing behind her. Tea moved to join the boys, and to give Sere the room and all the attention at the bottom of the stairs.

Once Sere reached the bottom of the stairs, she stood there as if she was being judged. The boys were in complete awe, while Tea just smirked at the boys being completely dumfounded.

Tristan was the first to snap out of it, "So, what's with the change in hair style?" This snapped everyone else out of it.

"Yeah, what's up with that?" Joey agreed.

"I…I really don't know. I just get this weird feeling that I've been wanting to change my hair style for along time now." Sere answered with a confused yet blank expression on her face and in her eyes.

The boys looked at each other, a tad bit worried with the expression that appeared on Sere when she explained why she changed her hair style.

Tea, unknown to what the boys were doing, walked up to Sere, took her by the hand, and headed for the door. Once she got to the door, before opening it, she turned around to face the dumfounded boys, "You guys coming or not?"

This statement snapped them out of it and came running to join Tea and Sere. Once Tea saw them coming, she grabbed Sere's hand again and bolted out the door with the boys close behind.

"Come on Tea, wait up." Tristan yelled out. But he didn't get an answer, only the reply oh two giggling girls.

At that exact second they came bursting out the door, someone could be seen driving a motorcycle heading towards them. Once the motorcyclist and the group of giggling teens pasted each other, the motorcyclist had to stop. He pulled over to the side of the road, and turned to see the backs of the teens getting smaller and smaller and farther away.

The motorcyclist took off his helmet, still looking at the disappearing teens, to discover that the motorcyclist was indeed a guy with black hair and blue eyes, and he seemed to be the age of someone that would be in college. He just couldn't take his eyes off of the retreating teens, he could've sworn that the blonde girl looked familiar to him, he could've sworn he knew her, but from where, he just couldn't place it. But now it was too late, they were long gone.

He looked to the building they came out of. They may be gone now, but he would come back here later to find something out. So he decided that he'll have to come back later. With that thought, he put his helmet back on and continued on his way.

They were almost to the school when Sere accidentally bumped into someone, with her, of course, landing on her butt. She instantly got up and bowed to the person she bumped into, saying that she was sorry and that she was in a hurry and adding on that the end that she was really sorry.

The person that Sere bumped into didn't get a chance to look at the girls face for she turned around to the owner of the male voice that was telling her to get going, because the boys wanted to, at least, play one round of Dual Monsters before class started. Without turning back around to face the person she bumped into and say one final sorry before she left, she just took off after the owner of the male voice instead.

The victim of the crash collision with Sere watched them as they went and remembered something a friend of hers asked/said something to her when she got to this town.

FLASHBACK

A guy with black hair and blue eyes could be seen waiting for something or someone outside of a coffee shop. He looked up and seemed to find what he was waiting for. A couple walked up to him. The girl had shoulder length aqua marine hair and eyes that seemed to match that color; she presented herself to be very proper. The guy in the couple, (or at least it appeared to be a guy to the rest of the world), had sandy blond hair and carried "his" coat over "his" shoulder, acting as if "he" had something to prove.

"So Darien, what is it that you wanted to talk to us about?" The girl with the aqua marine hair asked.

"Amara, Michelle, I'm glad you could come, and I hope you both could help me out while you're here." The man known as Darien began.

"It has to do with Serena…doesn't it?" Amara guessed. This, in a way, caught Darien off guard. This reaction made Amara smirk, "You don't need to act so surprised, Darien."

"We know both you and Serena really well. If one of you disappears, then the other worries them self to death." Michelle finished for Amara.

"I was going to ask the both of you if you could help me look…"Darien began to explain, but got cut off by Amara.

"You want us to help you look for Serena while we're here." Amara finished for Darien.

This caught Darien off guard again, but it didn't last for that long this time, if you'd blink, you would've missed the expression before it changed to an expression of relief, "Thanks."

At that moment, Michelle looked at her watch and almost gasped. "Darien, I have to get going. I have a recital in an hour. But, don't worry; I'll look for Serena in the crowd." Michelle explained and offered.

"Thanks Michelle, and good luck at your recital." Darien said, trying to sound a little more happy and relieved.

Michelle tried to return the smile before turning to Amara, "I guess you're not going to make it after all."

"Doesn't look like it." Amara replied. Michelle started to get a sad and disappointed look in her eyes, but tried to keep a happy and supportive look to her for Darien's sake. Amara noticed this, "Don't worry Michelle, I'm still going to pick you up after your recital." Michelle smirked a little after this, which made Amara smirk. "You better get going or you'll be late." Amara pointed out.

Michelle checked her watch again and noticed Amara was right. Now she only had 45 minutes until the recital was to start. She said her good-byes to Darien and reassured him that she was going to look through the crowd for Serena, and then said good-bye to Amara and that she would see her later, then left for her recital, leaving Amara and Darien by themselves.

Darien and Amara watched Michelle's retreating body. "I'm sorry to make you miss Michelle's recital. I know you wanted to go to it." Darien tried to apologize.

"It's all right. I was going to go to the recital to help Michelle look through the crowd for Serena, and once I was convinced she wasn't there, I was going to leave and look around this town for her anyway." Amara explained.

"But…" Darien tried to argue but was cut off by Amara not wanting to hear in.

"Don't worry; Michelle can handle looking through that crowd on her own. All I was going to do was double check, but I don't have to be there. Besides, if we're both looking about this town, we have a better chance of finding her…that is, if she is here. Amara pointed out.

"If you're sure…" Darien started to ask.

"I'm positive, Darien." Amara stated.

Once again, Darien tried to look a little more relieved, but it still wasn't quit working, but he was happy that the others were helping out, even though he didn't even have to ask in the first place, "Thanks, Amara. I really appreciate this."

"We wouldn't dare think about turning our backs on you or the princess…unless there was a really good reason, but anyway, you're a friend in need and so is Serena. We're just glad that we could help." Amara replied.

With the small talk done, they said there good-byes and headed on there own separate ways and started to look for Serena.

END FLASHBACK

Amara watched as the group of teens go, but before they were out of sight, she decided to follow them. 'I wonder.' Amara thought to herself. Amara followed them until they disappeared into a building. Amara then noticed it was a school. Amara looked at her watch to check the time and noticed that it was time she started heading back. So, Amara took note of the name of the school and started to head back to retrieve Michelle from her recital.

I'm sorry that it took so long for this chapter to be posted, but finals week is finally over and I had to have time to recover from all those sleep less nights. So here is the second chapter, I hope everyone enjoyed it. This chapter would've been out sooner if it weren't for finals. But since Christmas time is upon us, it may be awhile before the third chapter gets posted. But the more reviews that I get, the more motivated that I get to working on the next chapter! So review and it may be posted up sooner than later…I promise. I have a month and a half until school again, so I have all this time to work on my stories!
