Disclaimer: I own nothing. Not Yu-gi-oh! or the movie "It's a Wonderful Life." Feel pity.

Yugi <pouts> Can I go home yet?

WeirdtheNorn <shakes head> No, not yet. I'm not done with the story yet.

Yugi <frowns> But I'm not even in this chapter.

WeirdtheNorn <shrugs> You're too cute to ever give up.

Yugi <whines> Can't you just stare at the chipmunks for awhile?

WeirdtheNorn <sighs> Yami took them away. He said something about none of us deserving to look at them.

Yugi <sad> The chipmunks got to leave but not me?

Marik <curious> Can I go home pathetic mortal?

WeirdtheNorn <glares> I've been yelling at you for hours to go home Marik. Why won't you leave?

Marik <shrugs> I'm waiting for the chipmunks to come back.

WeirdtheNorn <sighs> Ok that's it. Everyone leaves. Now. I don't want to see any of you till the sequel. Go bother someone else. And finally, I can finish this story. Enjoy reading the conclusion and tell me what you think afterwards.

Epilogue

Solomon Motou adjusted the new sign above his door for about the hundredth time, nervous about everything looking perfect. Joey growled angrily and banged on his ladder. "Come-on Gramps, the sign is fine. Let's celebrate by grabbing some burgers."

"Is that all you think about- food?" Mai asked, grabbing onto his shoulders. Joey swung around and gave her a quick peck on the lips.

"Nah there are other things." Joey said with a grin.

"Oh brother." Tristan said with a groan. Solomon climbed off the ladder and happily beamed up at the new Kame Game Shop sign.

"What do you think?" he asked everyone.

"Yugi would be proud of you Mr. Motou." Duke complimented.

"Yeah, Yugi. I wonder if he's ok now." Joey wondered. His thoughts were interrupted by the arrival of the Kaiba brothers, followed by two more guests.

"Tea!" Tristan cried happily, running up to hug the dancer tightly. The girl squealed excitedly, clinging tight to her friend as she started talking a mile a minute.

"Tristan it's so good to see you again. Joey as well. I'm so happy you gave up bullying kids. And I'm so glad Joey found someone. I never thought that would happen in a million years. Now we just have to focus on you Tristan. Kaiba told me all about your adventure with Yugi. I can't believe I missed that. Yugi sounded so cute- was he? I brought back with me this friend I met in America, I hope that's alright. Oh it's so good to be back with my friends."

Seto stared in horror at the terror he had just spent several hours in the company of. He sincerely hoped this wish for friendship that Mokuba had was just a phase he was going through. Instead of dwelling on the fact, Seto looked over at Solomon's new store, a joint venture of Motou, Kaiba, and Devlin interests. While Duke and he had tried to impress the need for expansion into the old fool, Solomon had remained stubborn on keeping his old store. And Kaiba somehow found respect for the old man in all the arguments. But he was still going to scream if he heard that cheerleader's voice any longer.

"So how's your sister Joey?" Tea asked, now attached to the blond, and ignoring the glares from Mai.

Joey brightened at this question and puffed his chest out with pride. "She just came out of surgery last week. The doctor says the bandages can be removed next week. She wants to come visit and watch her big brother duel in Kaiba's new tournament. You'll get to see her then." Seto snorted then and turned his cold blue eyes on Joey.

"Who says you're invited to the tournament Wheeler?"

As Joey let out a growl and threw himself towards Seto, Mai and Duke turned to the second new guest who hadn't spoken yet. "Hello sweetie, I'm Mai Valentine and this is Duke Devlin. Sorry we've been ignoring you- are you friends with Tea and Joey as well?" Mai asked politely, holding out a hand to shake. The small girl looked at her for a moment, then cocked her head to one side and pulled the large teddy bear she was holding close to her ear.

"What's that teddy? They are friends too? Ok good." The girl said to the bear before smiling at Mai and taking her hand. "Hi my name is Rebecca Hopskin. I met Tea in America when teddy told me she was a friend. I came here to meet Yugi's friends." Mai gasped at this comment and snatched her hand away from the strange girl who talked to teddies and seemed to know a person who didn't exist.

"How do you know Yugi?" Duke demanded as everyone around them listened in, curious to what was going on. The pig-tailed blond giggled and shook her head.

"Well teddy told me of course. He told me that only Yugi could use the puzzle." Rebecca declared, pulling out a familiar golden pyramid. "He told me that Yugi's going to need this soon so I should go find his friends. That's you guys, right?" Everyone stared in shock at the familiar puzzle that had caused them so much chaos and change in the past few weeks. And also brought them together.

"Yeah that's us." Joey said quietly.

"Does this mean Yugi coming back?" Mokuba asked eagerly, hope lighting up his eyes. Seto groaned at the thought, and Tea started squealing again.

"One can never tell about these things." Solomon Motou spoke up from the door. "But things are looking bright. Now why don't you young people come inside and we celebrate the reopening of my store? This place won't seem open unless there are stray kids begging food from me."

-----------------------

In a different part of Domino a young man shuffled through the busy streets of town, ignoring the stares he was getting. All he could concentrate on was breathing, and placing one foot in front of another. Even that was a struggle at the moment. Finally, his strength ran out and the boy found himself sliding to the ground of an alley wall, collapsing into a puddle of rainwater and dirt from the street. He stared dully at the walls in front of him for a moment before turning his face to the sky, looking for answers. 'Why me?' he cried out to the sky, 'Why must I be cursed? Why can't I have a normal life?' The sky merely continued as before, blue and bright to spite his depressed mood. The boy struggled to stand, desperate to leave the dirt and grime behind him. His legs gave out beneath him again, and he decided that maybe this spot wasn't so bad. It never really mattered in the end because he lost all ability to care as the world around him faded to black and he once again embraced the darkness.

End

Ok, I know that was mean, not actually ending the story but, too bad. Sorry. I do plan on writing a sequel so tune in probably in another month or so and you'll find out why I added that ending part. Or you can review and guess who I was writing about. Ok see you at the sequel.
