It was after school and I was in the library of the school. The library was old and slightly english in taste with brown bookshelf's all around. There were several sections for fantasy, adventure, romance,Young adult and science fiction. There was also tons of tons computer that literred several of the tables spread across the library. The library had a solemn melancholy feel to it, not unique of course to this library but it still felt nice.

I was basically wasting time in the library on the school's computer. After all I had 3 Hours To go Before I had Attend The party So Why Even Bother Going Home? I was Bored So I decided to Look up today's Headlines on The Main page of the computer. It was a strenuous task trying to type because of my injury but I managed.
There were three stories on the front page:

[Valor von Aries invites quarter finalists to Mansion]

[Meteor Showers Increase Outside of cities]

[3 teens Go Missing in Northern Neo city]

Despite the other two news stories being intriguing I found the fact that the first story was on a major news site. -This Tournament must be getting hyped around a lot, If This is newsworthy. But then again Neo city does love its dueling competitions even If It's just the Teenagers League…

*Creek*

The door Opened and someone peeked in

Librarian: Ok everyone! The librarian closes in 10 minutes! Please finish up any business you have and leave accordingly!

Some of the students sighed and shut off their computer immediately and left.
I cut off my computer but decided to stay in the room.

Librarian: Cael. Just lock up when you're done okay.

Cael: Yes, Miss.

I nodded my head back t her and she closed the door.
I then took out my deck and I pulled out my cards from my loose pockets and Put them on table in front of me.
They were my cards, My home, My Friends. I pulled out my favorite card Parallel warrior Zio, He was a strong warrior-type monster with 2500 Atk Points. In a way he reminded me of myself a bit. I would describe him as my "Ace monster" But to me every card is an "Ace".

Cael: (With this card… We'll definitely win the tournament.)

I thought. I put my old friend and drew another card.

The card I drew was polymerization. It could be used to fuse any two monsters together to form a new stronger one. To me it stood as a representation of humankind as a whole, if we unite we can become a stronger society.

Cael: I wonder….

I drew another card before the door opened again.

Cael: Alright! I'm going-

I stopped mid-sentence before realizing that it was my friend - ohsaka.

Ohsaka: Hey.

She casually says as she walked.

Cael: Hey…. I thought You'd be heading towards the mansion by now.

Ohsaka: I could say the same about you.

Cael: Well, I'm just wasting time here in the library… We still have Four more hours to go after all.

Ohsaka: Heh. That's so like you to waste time.

She giggled.

Cael: H-Hey! I'm not wasting time; I'm actually sorting my deck.

Ohsaka: Oh? Can I see?

Cael: Uh sure-

Before I could even confirm my confirmation, she snatched cards from the desk. She shuffled through them with her hands while looking with her eyes, turning her back away from me she commented:

Ohsaka: This is an interesting deck cael!

Cael: …?

Ohsaka: I've never seen an archetype like this before.

Cael: Yeah, They're parallel warriors. My father gave them to me when I was little.

Ohsaka: Oh, that was sweet of him.

*Slick* A odd sound came from her.

Ohsaka turned back around and handed my deck back to me.

Ohsaka: Sorry I shouldn't take people's stuff without asking first.

Cael: It's fine. I find your curious side to be a bit cute.

Ohsaka blushed her face turning red.

Ohsaka: Y-You say some really silly crap sometimes you know?

She sighed.

Cael: Well, since you saw my deck why Don't I see yours?

I asked.

Ohsaka: S-Seeing my deck?

Cael: What? You don't want to?

Ohsaka: Well it's just in my country… A man asking to see another woman's deck is a proposal offer…

Cael: W-What?

Ohsaka: I knew you looked at me differently than the other but… To marry me? That's quite bold of you cael!

Cael: I mean… err., That is to say…

Ohsaka: -Just kidding.

She smirked a little bit. I reluctantly let out a sigh of relief.

Cael: Oh good…

Ohsaka: I can't believe you fell for that. Proposing to woman by asking to see her deck? How stupid.

Cael: Y-Yeah. That's ridiculous.

Ohsaka: Besides, I didn't bring my deck anyway, So I'm going to reject your "proposal".

Cael: good… I think.

I sighed.

Ohsaka: Anyway, I think we should head out now. Aries Mansion is on the northwestern side of the city near the woods, so we'll likely have to take the metro then walk there.

Cael: Ugh really? What a pain...

It probably takes us awhile before we could get to the northwest part of the city… But that's the thing about destiny, your patience will be tested.
