A/N: Heyy, been a while, huh? Sorry about that. My brain has been focusing on other stories at the moment, namely Dragons' Souls (the HTTYD crossover) and eventually going into Remembrance and Elements of the Original Dragon (both Pokémon crossovers). I have a poll up to decide what to do next if anyone is interested. Either going on a 30 OTP prompts to help with ideas or going on requests. I haven't been coming up with good ideas for a while now and the only complete short I've got so far is no longer 'canon' to Ren's stories anymore. Maybe I'll post it as an AU or something. I dunno. Anyway, enjoy this short!

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. That goes to the respective owner(s). I only claim my OCs. And definitely prepare the soap for Ren's potty mouth.

First Meetings:

(Yusei's POV)

I walked down the streets of New Domino, trying to find the place Tanner had told me about. This looks like the area. Now just to find- My thoughts were cut off when I heard a yell behind me. "Hey, you! Satellite!" the voice yelled.

I stopped, looking behind me to see three guys glaring at me. Two of them had their hands in their pockets, possibly hiding weapons. I cursed inwardly. "Can I help you?" I asked calmly.

"We don't take too kindly to your kind around here," the leader said, stepping up and getting into my face.

"Sorry, but I'm in a bit of a hurry right now. So if you can just-"

"Oh, hey! There you are, dude!" a new voice piped in. I glanced to see a guy around my age with messy dark brown hair and blue-green eyes come up. He also had two scars over on the right side of his, one going across his eye and the other missing it. "Man, sorry. I must've given you the wrong directions, huh? My bad! I get waaay too flustered with attractive guys." He threw an arm on my shoulders. What the..?

"Uhh..."

"Ugh, figures he'd be one of your mates, Ren," the leader grumbled. "You're always at that club that lets in anyone nowadays."

"Hey, you got a problem with who gets let in, take it up with my boss. I ain't got nothin' to do with it. I just perform for the masses," the new guy, Ren, retorted. "Far as I'm concerned, fans are fans. Doesn't matter if they've got a marker or are clear."

"Tch, fine. Just get him out of here, before I call Security on his ass." The leader waved his buddies to follow them. The trio started leaving.

"Yeah yeah, get bent and eat a d***." Ren finished the jab with flipping the bird. And I thought Crow was bad. Once the three were gone, he let out a loud sigh and took his arm off. "Holy crap, I didn't think that was gonna work. Sorry about them. They're just a bunch of assholes thinking they own the streets and shit."

"It's...okay," I replied. I was still a bit stunned at the fact he came up to a total stranger like me and pretended to know me.

"Anyway, they're all bark and no bite. They know if they even think about laying a hand on me, AJ would skin 'em alive. Well, maybe not that, but she wouldn't go easy on them that's for sure."

"I see."

"Ah, shit. Right. Where are my manners?" He held out his hand. "Ren Mori. Upcoming pop star, and currently the annoyance of the streets. According to some sources."

I took his hand and shook it. "Yusei."

"So, what brings you around these parts? Not sure what I how much help I can be, but I can at least try something."

"Well, I'm trying to find a place a friend of mine mentioned to me. Know a place called Bootleg?"

"I think. I don't tend to head there a lot, at least not without one of my band mates or Ace. Though, I might know a few people that can get ya to the right direction. 'Sides, with that little performance back there, I feel like I owe you a drink at least."

I quirked an eyebrow. "You're a little young to be drinking, aren't you?"

"Not that kind of drink! Geez, where do people get the idea that I do drugs or drink alcohol at my age? Don't even answer that." He said the last part when I was about to make a retort. "Also, I'm like your age, so a bit hypocritical to accuse me of that."

"I guess since you're offering, sure."

"You don't have to if you've gotta get there quick."

"Well, I can't stay long, but I could use a bit of directions."

"Cool! I've got just the place!"

(Scene Shift)

"...and that's how we met," I finished the story to Isabella. Ren was giving me a glare from the side.

"So Daddy swooped in and helped you!" Isabella concluded. I nodded.

"I hate you so much," Ren growled. "Did you have to mention the 'being flustered by attractive guys' part?"

I gave him a teasing look. "Gee, didn't say that at the proposal. Or the altar." He just responded with a grumble. I knew he wasn't really mad, just embarrassed at being reminded at our first talk. I wrapped an arm around his shoulders, pulling him closer. "Love you."

"Mm-hmm."

"Oh! Tell me when you saved the world and flew on a dragon!" Isabella squealed. Ren's face broke in a grin.

"I get to tell this one."

"You're going to embellish it, aren't you?"

"Only to make you look more like a hero. And you love it." I chuckled, shaking my head.

"All right, this I gotta hear."

A/N: So quick one to post up while I work on other stuff for the time being (especially since I'm trying to do a triple upload on my birthday possibly which might just change to updating Dragons' Souls and the rewritten prologues of the other two mentioned). Hope you guys enjoyed the flash to the future bit at the end. I need to work on drawing Isabella. And their other kids. Also! Don't forget the poll! See you guys next time!
