Some hours later Celina was making her way to Zuzu's house, still asking herself what could be so important that couldn't be said at the cafe.
"Guess I'll know soon enough..." She thought as she reached the doorstep, before ringing the bell, luckily Zuzu gave her address so she could find her home with ease.
Not even 10 seconds later, Zuzu opened the door, excited to see her friend.
"Ehi Celina, thank you for coming, let's talk inside" Zuzu said with her usual warm smile.
Celina followed Zuzu to her living room, before taking a seat on the couch.
After some moments Celina decided to go straight to the point.
"So Zuzu, what did you have to tell me exactly?" Celina asked.
"Well, actually It's not about me..." Zuzu said with some embarassment.
"What do you mean?" Celina was a little confused.
"She meant that I was the one to have a word with you." A new voice was heard from upstairs.
One that Celina didn't know.
And here he comes down the stairs, a man wearing a red and yellow tracksuit with light brown hairs.
After coming down he observed her intently, to the point that she was a little scared.
"She is really extremely similar to you Zuzu, I nearly could not tell you two apart..." The man said, now known as Zuzu's father.
She knew now, her father was probably angered with her, because she accepted to change clothes with Zuzu and because of that she then was in great danger.
Celina immediately stood up and proceeded to drop on her knees, confusing both Zuzu and her father.
"I apologize Mr. Boyle... your daughter was in danger because of me, I accept any punishment you would consider necessary" Her nature of taking responsibility took over but she was in for a surprise.
"Please, stand up Celina" He said as her eyes then grew wide looking up at him.
"You totally misunderstood, Zuzu told me all the story and I have nothing against you, I know that you both were in danger in the dimensional conflict." Mr. Boyle said putting an hand on her shoulder.
"I heard what you and Yuya did to save Zuzu, and as a father I wanted to thank you properly" He said.
"I owned that to Zuzu, because she made me understand that what I was doing at the time was wrong, and made me the person I am now" Celina said looking at her.
"There are no debts between friends" Zuzu stood up and hugged her.
"You are right" Celina returned the hug.
Mr. Boyle nearly had tears in her eyes watching the scene.
After some moments they all took a seat to talk more.
"So, she is like your counterpart and you both with other two girls, are parts of the original daughter of Leo called Rei uh?" Mr. Boyle said trying to understand everything.
"Yeah, it's complicated... we are the same but different altogether" Celina tried to explain.
"The important thing is that now you are both safe... and now we come to the main reason I wanted to see you for, Celina" Mr. Boyle announced while raising on his feet.
"But you already thanked me for what I did..." Celina tried to say before getting interrupted.
"Zuzu told me about your difficult childhood, you were raised as a soldier at Duel Academy, so you never actually had a example to follow and never had a home to come back to... when I look at you I can't help but feel sad about it, I can see the loneliness in your eyes and I wanted to help... so..." He took a little pause before continuing.
"Would you like to be part of our family?" Mr. Boyle said to end his speech.
Celina's eyes went wide in shock.
"What... I can't..." She didn't want to intrude in their life.
"It would be like I had an other daughter, it would only be a pleasure to being called father of an awesome girl like you." Mr. Boyle said with a smile.
"You would be my like a sister to me Celina, and technically you already are, so please think about it!" Zuzu added.
"Do I really deserve this? A father and a sister, a place I can call home and a real family?" Celina thought to herself.
"You deserve happiness Celina, don't forget it" She remembered Yuya saying that while he conforted her.
She took her decision.
"Actually... I would love that" She finally admitted.
"Well, welcome to the family Celina" Mr. Boyle announced.
"Yay, I'm so happy about this Celina." Zuzu added.
"Thank you Mr. Boyle" Celina said before being circled in a triple hug.
"You can call me dad now, if you'd like" Mr. Boyle said with a big smile.
She then let the tears of happiness freely flow from her eyes.
"Thank you... dad..." She still was adjusting to this new dynamic.
"You are just too precious Celina, I swear to my honor of a dad that I'll always treasure both you and Zuzu, you won't have anything to worry about from now on" Mr. Boyle had tears in his eyes as well, some moments they ended the hug.
"You know Celina, I'm also a teacher at Yusho Duel Scool, I'm really looking forward in seeing your skills, Zuzu told me your Fusion Summon have no match" Mr. Boyle complimented.
"It would be a pleasure for me in showing you, I'm pretty confident in my dueling skills, but I was getting interested in Dueltaining watching Yuya..." Celina admitted.
"Well, you can come to our school, you'll learn everything you need" Zuzu said with a smile.
"You know, I think I will" Celina was convinced.
"Perfect, we have a new student! But look at how the time flies, it's getting late... Zuzu, you and I will start to make dinner, you relax Celina!" Mr. Boyle said happily.
"Actually, I would like to help you... dad" Celina said with an angelic smile.
"I'm already so proud of you, let's go together then" Mr. Boyle finally said before they made their way to the kitchen.
"I can't believe how my life in changing for the better so fast, I now have a home and a family... I only need one more thing... letting Yuya know about my feelings for him" Celina thought with a loving smile as she enjoyed her first dinner as daughter and sister.
