Ulrich362: It's almost time, the Friendship Cup will soon begin.

bopdog111: Yeah. What is gonna happen here?

Ulrich362: We'll have to find out, but things are getting interesting in the Synchro Dimension.

bopdog111: Since Cloud is doing other things to both his girlfriends.

Ulrich362: True, enjoy the chapter.

Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V but we own the OCs!

Cloud laid between Sapphire, and Allie with a smile before suddenly someone knocked on the door. Hearing that they froze blinking before Cloud asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me." Pip's voice answered.

"Oh. Come in." Cloud said as they sat up.

She walked in. "Um... Crow wanted to talk to us about something."

"About what?" Cloud asked her.

"The Friendship Cup." Crow answered walking into the room seeing the three blushing deep at cuddling close which he blinked before sighing. "Amanda told you about it right, so if I had to guess at least some of you are probably planning on entering right?"

"Yeah." Cloud nodded to him.

Crow nodded at that. "All four of you?"

"Pip, I think you should stay out." Cloud said to her, "Your Deck's strong but I don't think it's able to handle what we can face."

She looked down but nodded. "That... was basically my only combo anyway."

"And Allie you don't have to be in if you don't want too but I think you should also stay out as well. Don't get me wrong I have no doubt you are great at fighting in the Tournament, but I think what these people can do will be too much." Cloud admitted to Allie, "And someone's gotta be with Pip in case something happens."

"Then it would just be us?" Sapphire inquired.

Cloud nodded to her.

"Well, Amanda did tell you what happens if you lose right?" Crow inquired.

"No I don't think she did." Cloud admitted.

"Losing in the Friendship Cup means you get sent to an underground facility... and are never seen again." Crow revealed.

That made Cloud blinked.

"Look, I won't tell you what you can or can't do." Crow told them. "I'm just letting you know what the risk is for competing."

"Let's be careful Sapphire." Cloud told her.

Sapphire nodded only to pause. "Wait, how would we enter and are you competing?"

"I am, and we should either fill an application for the Director of Sector Security to approve, or win 6 matches in a Underground Area. But that I wouldn't do since Security can shut it down at anytime." Crow told them.

"So we need to fill out two applications?" Cloud asked. "Do you mind helping us do that?"

"Sure." Crow nodded.

"Thank you." Sapphire mentioned.

Crow nodded before walking off. Cloud stared at his bandage foot. Seeing it Pip frowned. "Does it still hurt?"

"No but I'm worried if it can open or worsen when on a Duel Runner." Cloud admitted.

"Then don't compete." Sapphire told him simply.

"But I don't want to just not do anything." Cloud told her.

Sapphire kissed his cheek. "Stay with Allie and Pip, and help make sure they're ok."

"But I can't let you handle this by yourself." Cloud told her.

"We can't let you be hurt." Allie told him. "What if something happened?"

"Um... they're right and..." Pip started before pausing. "Wait, Jack isn't hurt."

"But I don't know how to switch." Cloud admitted, "Not to mention Peewee can be after him again."

Pip looked down at that. "Oh yeah, never mind."

Allie frowned before running downstairs only to bump into Shinji. "Oh, I'm sorry. Did Crow leave?"

"He's at the next room." Shinji answered.

She nodded before walking in. "Um... excuse me? Mr. Crow?"

"Huh?" Crow looked over from filling an application, "What is it?"

"Um... you saw Cloudy's foot, it won't get hurt worse if he competes will it?" Allie asked nervously.

"I don't know. We never seen what an injury like that could result in on a Duel Runner." Crow admitted, "Though if I were you I would tell him to just not compete."

Allie frowned but nodded before walking back up to the room.

"Cloudy?"

She sees him yawning a little with Pip trying to get him to rest but he's trying to stay awake.

"I... asked Crow, he said you shouldn't compete." Allie mentioned.

"Huh?" they looked over.

"Crow said he doesn't know what your injury could do on a Duel Runner so you shouldn't compete." Allie explained helping Cloud up. "Oh, um... Pip Cloudy's supposed to be active for his health, doctor's orders."

"Doctor's Orders?" Sapphire asked while Pip blinked both confused.

"Oh yeah, well you see..." Cloud started before explaining what the doctor told him.

"Oh... Sorry." Pip said looking down.

Cloud smiled, "It's alright. I've been active these past years thanks to Allie, and nothing like that happened again."

"True, and when you think about it things are really active after what happened back home." Sapphire agreed.

Cloud yawned again a few seconds later. "Plus we had some Cheat Days."

"That's true." Allie smiled.

"Well, if I'm the only one of us who's going to enter I'll make sure to win for all six of us." Sapphire promised.

Cloud nodded laying down, "Well I'll be laying down. It is a Cheat Day today anyway."

They nodded at that before Sapphire walked down to enter. Cloud wasn't looking happy. Seeing that Allie frowned before hugging him only to smile as she started ticking him.

"Ah gah, hahahaha!" Cloud started laughing at that, "A-Allie!"

"That's better, you should be happy Cloudy." Allie smiled kissing his cheek again.

"But now... Sapphire is doing this alone." Cloud told her.

"She isn't alone, we're all rooting for her." Pip mentioned. "Plus... she's really strong."

Cloud nodded hearing that.

Meanwhile...

A purple suit blonde haired man was busy on some chess.

"Sir, the preparations are almost complete." mentioned a young scientist. "He'll be ready for the tournament."

"Good everything's going according to plan." the man stated, "What of applications?"

The scientist handed him a folder only to flinch. "Are you certain relying on him is wise, you know his reputation and if something were to happen and your control were to falter..."

The man only gave him a warning stare. The scientist flinched before nodding and leaving the office.

"Honestly..." the man mused before looking over the applications, "Hmm..."

His eyes widened seeing two of them, Yuya Sakaki and Zuzu Boyle.

"These two..." the man trailed off before making up his mind approving them stating, "Keep an eye on these two."

"Sir." replied a group of officers.

He continued on approving or not approving applications before finishing. Suddenly an image of an old man appeared. "How are the preparations going Roget?"

"Some more applications that several are improved." Roget answered.

"Good, and for tonight's exhibition duel?" the man asked.

"I'm still figuring out who should take the place as Jack's challenger but it'll come to mind who by the time the day of the Friendship Cup begins." Roget explained to him.

"Good to hear, keep up the wonderful work." the man smiled before disappearing.

"Old Geezer." Roget growled a little after making sure the man won't hear him.

Meanwhile back at Crow's...

Cloud was taking a bath with his bandage foot out of the water sighing to himself.

"Um... Cloud?" asked a voice from outside the bathroom.

"Who is it?" Cloud called blushing

Pip walked in covering her eyes. "Allie and Sapphire wanted me to tell you, some of your friends entered too."

"Really? Who are among them?" Cloud asked her curiously.

"Allie said their names were... Yuya Sakaki and Zuzu Boyle." Pip answered.

"Yuya, Zuzu!" Cloud said in shock hearing that, "Then their okay!"

"Well... unless they lose..." Pip started before trailing off. "Allie wanted to let you know, I'll let you relax."

She walked out after saying that. Cloud sighed to himself placing a hand on his head, "Yuya, Zuzu... Their alright but I hope they stay like that..."

Meanwhile with Ryan and Molly...

The two are in Jack's house after being filled in on the Friendship Cup.

"A tournament... what do you think?" Molly asked him.

"I don't know what to say." Ryan admitted.

"If those two are entering... should I?" Molly asked him.

"But I don't want you getting hurt or anything. Even since this is merely entertainment for suffering for these people." Ryan said looking down.

Molly took his hand and smiled before gently kissing him. "Thank you Ryan."

He turned to her.

"If you don't think it's a good idea I won't. I'll stay with you." she whispered with a smile.

Ryan stared before smiling back.

Later...

"Molly?" Ryan asked her.

She turned to him at that.

"Sorry for getting you mixed up." Ryan said to her looking guilty.

"It's ok, I don't mind." she smiled softly hugging him.

"You gotten hurt for me twice." Ryan said to her hugging her back with tears in his eyes.

Molly frowned seeing that before gently wiping his eyes. "I'm ok, I promise."

He looked at her. She kissed him again. Ryan gained new tears kissing her back.

"Can I do anything to make you feel better?" she asked before she paused, and blushed. "And... what about the charmers?"

"The Charmers?" Ryan asked her before realizing. "Oh they been close to us like this?" She softyly nodded. "Well should we ask if they want too?"

"Okay." Molly nodded over as he nodded before blushing summoning the Charmers. They all blinked before looking around only for Lyna, Eria, and Wynn to blush.

"Molly was wondering something." Ryan admitted to them.

"Wondering what?" Hiita inquired.

"If you all would like... to cuddle with us." Ryan admitted over blushing.

"Oh that, don't worry we're giving you privacy... unless you'd rather we not." Hiita teased before smiling. "But in all seriousness of course we will."

"She's right." Eria nodded with a blush looking down. "I mean... about us doing that."

Ryan nodded before taking Molly's hand. She smiled softly at that.

"Are... You all single or is he your only boyfriend?" Ryan asked looking at Dharc.

"Dharc and Lyna are in a relationship." Wynn answered.

"So you four don't have a relationship yet." Ryan said hearing that.

They all nodded at that. Ryan turned to Molly with a look that she sees he has an idea.

"Ryan?" she asked seeing the look.

"How bout I help them with that?" Ryan suggested.

"You have such a big heart." Molly smiled.

"What you four think?" Ryan asked the four.

"Do you think it's possible?" Aussa asked him.

"Cloud had three girls with him." Ryan admitted.

"Wait are you..." Eria started.

"Nope... no way." Hiita told him.

"Is something wrong?" Ryan asked blinking.

"You and the Maiden are in a relationship, you're not getting into one with the four of us too." Wynn explained.

"Why not?" Molly asked them, "I wouldn't mind at all."

The four of them looked stunned.

"He has a real big heart, and if he wants to help you four then why would I say no? He's a perfect man." Molly smiled while Ryan blushed at the name she called him.

"Um... well we'd hate to impose..." Eria admitted nervously.

"I'll give my life to your four, Molly, Lyna, and Dharc." Ryan said honestly.

They all smiled at that.
