"Do you want something to help wake you up?" Arcellious asked. "No… I don't want anything because I'm gonna go to bed after the duel" Rachael said. "What deck do you want me to use? Standard? Chain? O-four layout?" Arcellious asked. "Do o-four haven't faced that in a while" Rachael said and sat down at the table. Arcellious walked back and handed rachael her deck and placed his sixty card deck on the table and cut the deck in half a few times. "Not gonna do a thorough shuffle?" Rachael said as she shuffled her deck. "Nah, you said you want to go to bed so i'll just keep it simple" Arcellious said. "Bottom monster" rachael said, showing the bottom card of her deck and showed vampire grimson. "I have… spell… spell… trap… trap… spell… serket, i win, i'll go first" Arcellious said.

"Mmhmm… suure it wouldn't have" Rachael said and walked away from the table.
"Don't stay up late" Rachael said as she walked into their bedroom. Arcellious pulled out his laptop and put on headphones and listened to audio file and began editing a computer program on his laptop for a few hours. Arcellious looked and saw it was twelve thirty in the morning and saved the progress he had made for his holographic dueling glove. Arcellious went into the bedroom and saw Rachael sleeping on the bed and lied down on his bed and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning Arcellious woke up to Rachael talking on the phone. "No it's a family emergency! My grandfather called me last night during my fucking lunch time, why would i make that up?" Rachael said. Arcellious got out of the bed and went to take a shower. Arcellious heard a loud snap come from the kitchen and quickly turned off the water and rushed out. "What happened?" Arcellious said and saw Rachael holding the cabinet door with a angry look on her face.

"The fuckers fired me, that's what!" Rachael said. "Over a family emergency?" Arcellious asked. "Yeah, they said that i'm using it as a excuse to not come in because of how shit yesterday was" Rachael said and threw the cabinet door to the ground. "Just one thing after another and i cannot catch a break!" Rachael said and sat down leaning against the lower cabinet and started to cry. "Look, we're going to be seeing grandpa today, maybe he can help out" Arcellious suggested.

"I don't want grandpa's help. We're supposed to be independent. How are we to prove to grandma we can survive on our own without their help?" Rachael asked. "What was it dad always said?" Arcellious said. "Don't you dare bring him into this!" Rachael hissed. "That's not what i meant. Didn't you used to say that he'd used to tell you when we were small that 'there is no shame in asking for help'?" Arcellious said. "That…" Rachael paused and let out a small sigh. "That's different" Rachael said in a low tone.

"There is nothing wrong with letting family and friends who love you, help you. Stern does delivery. If you want I can ask him if he knows anything on the job market you can apply for" Arcellious said. Rachael nodded as Arcellious walked over and sat on his knees. "We're going to be fine, I promise" Arcellious said and hugged Rachael. "I'll go put something on and we can head out" Arcellious said and walked away. Arcellious comes out wearing a Black Poison T shirt and grabs his laptop case and glove. "You're taking your work stuff with you?" Rachael asked. "Yeah" Arcellious said. "Such a workaholic" Rachael said. "Or maybe i want to ask one of the teachers something" Arcellious said as he put on his black jacket. Rachael shook her head as she grabbed her keys and her purse. As she opened the door to the apartment she took one look at the apartment and felt Arcellious's hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, we're not going to lose this" Arcellious said. Rachael nodded and they left for the school.
