Hey everyone! Here's another chapter of Wish Upon a Synchro! I'm so happy I got this done, the plan was a lot longer than this, but here you go.

Like I said before, I'm at Alton Towers on the 2nd till the 4th so no updates between there, plus it's my birthday on the 1st so I'm very busy!

Please enjoy and review!

Chapter 3 – Duel Aftermath

Hours later in the Orphanage, Martha was cleaning in the kitchen; but the sound of the doorbell interrupted her cleaning. Curious, she walked over to the door and opened it wide enough to see who it was who rang the doorbell; she gasped at who was there, but what shocked her the most was that this person was about to fall on her, but she caught the person before they hit the ground.

"Yusei, are you alright?" There was no response, but Martha checked his pulse and she felt his beat at a normal pace; she sighed in relief and carried him to his room. As she was going up the stairs, she noticed a couple of bruise marks on his arms and one or two on his face; she looked at Yusei worried and said thoughtfully, 'What have those bullies done to you Yusei?'

1 Hour Later...

Yusei opened his eyes slightly, due to the blurry vision he had; but soon enough, his vision started to clear up and he saw the ceiling of his room. Surprised, Yusei opened his eyes wide and had a look around the room; Yusei rubbed his hair and thought, 'How did I get back in my bedroom? Was I dreaming?'

His thoughts were interrupted when his bedroom door opened, revealing Martha who was relieved to see Yusei awake. "I'm glad you're awake, Yusei". Yusei looked confused at Martha and asked, "W-what happened?" Martha answered, "I thought you could tell me that, you collapsed when you ran the doorbell".

Yusei was very confused and he didn't say a word. 'How did I collapse? I remember duelling against Matt and he pushed me as I tried to get my Junk Warrior back from him... except for that, I can't remember anything past that...' From what Martha was hearing and seeing, it looked Yusei needed some time alone; so she was about to head out the door, until she said, "You can tell me when you're ready, I'll be starting dinner in about an hour, we can talk then".

Martha closed the door leaving Yusei in his room; he looked down at the ground in thought, with many questions in his mind. First off was on how he got here in the first place, like he thought before; secondly, was that whole day just a dream? If so, then that would explain him laying on the bed.

'Did I dream that school day?' Curious, he took off his jacket and noticed a couple of bruise marks on his arms. 'How did I get these bruises? Wait... that wasn't a dream!' Panicking, Yusei looked inside his jacket pocket to find Junk Warrior; but strangely enough, in his pocket, he felt... two cards. 'That can't be right... I should only feel one... unless...'.

Yusei took the 'two' cards out from his pocket and had his eyes widened in surprise; there right in front of him was the first synchro he ever found, Junk Warrior. Yusei couldn't believe his eyes, somehow, he got Junk Warrior back, but the question is how? Matt had some explaining to do tomorrow.

The Next Day...

Yusei had been looking everywhere for Matt within the school, but he couldn't find him before classes started; he just had to hope he find Matt in his next class, which was Maths. As everyone was gathering around, Yusei noticed Matt about to sit down; Yusei was calling out to him and Matt noticed this.

Matt sat down next to Yusei confused and asked, "What's up Yusei? You look out of it". Yusei looked concerned at Matt and answered, "We need to talk about yesterday, at break time". Matt looked confused at Yusei and thought, 'No wonder Yusei looks out of it... it's like his mind is completely blank from that day we had that duel... is this what he wants to talk about?'

The teacher of the class was teaching the class about fractions; problem for Yusei is that he is always having problems solving these. But bad news for Yusei is that the teacher asked him to solve this problem; she asked him, "Yusei, what's 4/8s + 1/4?" Yusei looked at the puzzle quizzically and thought on the answer, but nothing came to him.

But all that changed when his left eye changed from blue to yellow, like it did yesterday, but it only changed slightly; Yusei answered the maths question on the board. "The answer is 6/8s". The teacher smiled and said, "Well done Yusei! That's correct". Yusei's left eye changed back to it's usual colour and looked around the room in confusion; Yusei looked shocked at the board as he noticed the answer to his asked question.

'Did someone else answer my question? It couldn't have been me... can it?' Matt looked confused at Yusei and asked, "How did you solve that Yusei? I thought you always struggled at those questions". Yusei answered, "I answered that question? I didn't remember that..." Yusei sighed and added, "Looks like we have a lot to talk about".

Later in the Playground...

Yusei sat on the bench looking on the ground, while Matt was sitting next to him; he asked the first question that was in his mind. "Okay Yusei, what were you going to ask me about?" Yusei looked at him confused and asked, "How come you're being nice to me? We're were enemies yesterday and now today, you're becoming more of a friend... are you...are you trying to trick me?"

Matt tilted his head and answered, "Yusei, it's not a trick... since that duel we had yesterday when you defeated me, I knew bullying you was wrong and I shouldn't have taken your Junk Warrior and I'm sorry about that".

Yusei looked at him confused, he had no idea that he dueled Matt and won; Yusei looked at Matt with pleading eyes and said, "To be honest Matt, I have no memory of that duel... ever since the first duel we had and you took Junk Warrior away, my mind has been completely blank..."

Yusei picked up the cards in his coat pocket and looked at the two synchro cards; the one that caught Yusei's eyes was the Stardust Dragon card. "Wait! I remember that after you took Junk Warrior away, I made a wish on this!" Matt looked at the card curiously while Yusei continued. "Martha gave me this card and said 'Some people say that If you make a wish on that card, it would instantly come true'"

"I didn't believe it at first, but I was so desperate to get Junk Warrior back somehow; so I wished 'to be stronger and have friends I can count on, no matter what happens...' Matt almost had a tear in his eye and replied, "That's a wonderful wish you could wish for... I think my mum and dad told me that legend when I was younger as a bedtime story".

Yusei realised something and said his thoughts out loud, "Do you think that wish has something to do with that duel?" Matt put his fingers on his chin in thought and replied, "Maybe, you were stronger in our duel and I might have imagined it, but your eyes were dull gold when you were duelling me".

Matt stood up and announced, "Well, I gotta get back to the guys, we can talk more about this another time, see you Yusei". Yusei waved back with a smile and said, "Bye see ya!" Yusei looked back at his Stardust Dragon card and thought, 'The legend... can it be true?'

So you must be wondering what's going on? Well from this chapter, Yusei heals a lot faster, Stardust has made him a bit smarter and he's basically a different person when duelling.

The problem is that he doesn't know that this happens, like Yugi when Yami takes over basically. Well, what do you think? Please review and fav for me, it would make a great present!

See you soon.
