The three teens walked down the street of Christina's neighborhood with their duel disks strapped on. Chrstina walked between Yami and Yugi and talked away like she hadn't talked to anyone for years. Yugi knew girls liked to talk, but she talked well past her limit. If he were a cell phone plan, she'd have over a million dollars in overage charges. It seems that she had planned out his entire visit.

"And then on your last night we are going to go to the best japanese resturaunts in town and have a big fair well party."

"That's.... great. "

"I know, isn't it? Anyway, on the day you leave, we're going to leave around 6:00 and have breakfast at the airport and see you off."

"Ok."

//Does she ever stop talking?//

/When she sleeps I guess. She always writes a decent size letter, but then again, so do I. I didn't think much of it./

A football suddenly flew across the street and landed in the yard of a shabby looking house. The paint was peeling off, what was left was a dingy grey that used to be white, the lawn was unmowed, the fence was rusted and the screened porch was falling apart. Christina looked over and a look of terror washed over her face.

A tall boy around 18 years old ran over to the fence. He was one of the ugliest guys Yugi had ever thought he'd seen, even uglier than Weeble. He wore an old red hat over his hair which was a dark brown, but clearly oily from not being washed, his face was red and swollen from the worse case of acne ever, his small beady eyes were so dark, they were almost black. As Yugi looked at him, he was reminded of cartoons where a beehive would fall on the main character and the next shot was of their face all swollen and lumpy. Despite his appearance, he seemed like a very friendly person. He, like the three of them, had a duel disk strapped to his arm.

"Del... you just kicked the ball into Mr. Fitzgerald's yard," Christina said.

"I see that."

"What's wrong with this man's yard?" Yugi asked.

"Mr. Fitzgerald is one of the meanest old men in the neighborhood. He's a war veteran and thinks that makes him better than everyone. He does nothing but yell at us and complain about the way we are."

"Oh."

"I'm going to go get it back," Del said.

"What? Don't! The old bastard will shoot the hell out of you!"

"I don't care, that's my ball," he said.

With that he climbed over the fence and walked through the yard towards his football. Just when he got there and bent down, the screen door opened with a loud screech like it was yelling in pain. The old man that stood there had the look of a man that had seen a lot in his life and his heart had become stone because of it. He stared Del down as if he were planning his execution at that very second.

"Git the hell of my lawn you ugly son of a bitch!" he yelled in a thick acccent.

"Why don't you make me old man?"

"What balls d'you have to be so damn disrespectful?"

"Well sir, I believe that the balls I have are called testicals."

He pulled his pants down to his knees and displayed himself to the old man with the most sarcastic look he could manage. Christina closed her eyes in disgust. Yugi felt like he'd be sick and Yami's eyes got as big as Yugi's. Del pulled his pants back up and smiled.

"It's a little chilly out here aint it?"

"GIT THE HELL OUTTA HERE YOU DIRTY LITTLE SHIT!"

"Good day Mr. Fitzgerald," he said politely as he turned to leave.

/Oh my gosh! That was disgusting. I never want to see that guy's ass again./

//That was almost enough to scare me straight.//

/Huh?/

Once Del was back on their side of the fence, Christina slapped him so fast he looked around stupidly. She didn't hit him that hard, but his skin was obviously very sensitive, because he started bleeding. He whipped the blood and looked at his hand.

"God damn Christina. What d'you do that for?"

"You mother fucker! Why the hell would you do that? I did not buy Yugi a plane ticket to come down here and see your fat ass displayed for the world to see! You know that old bastard is gonna kill you next chance he gets!"

"Sheesh calm down. I was only playing."

"Your playing is going to cause you to wake up with no dick someday."

He remained silent and looked from side to side as if he were looking to make sure no one had a pair of sissors. He shrugged and looked at Yami and Yugi. A boyish smirk crossed his face.

"So... the famous Yugi Mutou, Battle City champion from Tokyo. Nice to meet you. I'm Del."

"Uh... nice to meet you too?"

"How 'bout the four of us have a nice, friendly duel at Christina's?"

"What's the point Del? You suck harder than Quincy."

"I do not! Quincy doesn't even duel!"

"I wasn't referring to his talent for dueling. I was referring to his talent in the bedroom."

"Huh?"

"Forget it. Let's just duel. Is that alright with you guys?"

"Yeah!" Yugi said happily.

"I need a good duel," Yami said.

He closed off his mind link with Yugi just so he could have one thought before opening it back.

//It's one thing I definately wont give up on...//

When they got to Christina's they went straight for the backyard. Cuddles, her three year-old Rottweiler that she rescued from the pound, barked excitedly when they came out. Yugi knew a lot about the dog from her letters and knew he was friendly, but it was still unnerving to be in a back yard with a dog that is rumored to be violent. Del barked back at him.

"Cut it out asshole."

He laughed and she rolled her eyes.

"Ok, Yugi vs Del, Yami vs me. Second round: Yami vs Del, Yugi vs me. Sound good?"

"Sounds fine to me," Yami said.

"Doesn't really matter," Yugi said.

"Alright, lets duel!"

In the first round, Yugi easily beat Del, despite his determination. He got his sarcastic mad look and blamed his duel disk, even though he was really bad because of his deck. Yami and Christina held for a while. Her strategy was strong. Even Yami didn't predict she'd be as good as she was. However, once they were down to their last 500 life points, Yami proved to be better.

"Good game Yami," she said.

"Well, you were a worthy opponent."

The second round barely began before Del lost again. Christina failed to beat Yugi as well, but this duel lasted a lot longer. Del complained about how long it was taking, but Yami didn't really pay much attention. He focused on the look Yugi had in his eyes when he was concentrating and how the heat was causing him to sweat and the drops fell down his angelic face and his clothes were sticking to his body.

The whole duel, Christina was slightly flirting with the small duelist. She gave him her cutest smirk when she played her best cards and gave the puppy pout when her monsters were destroyed or he took her life points. Del rolled his eyes, knowing full well what she was doing. He'd seen her do this to many people before and it was nothing new. Even if she won his heart, she'd be back on a flirting spree a week after he goes back.

"Hey Del, how 'bout we duel now so I can have a chance at winning," Christina said at the end.

"That's harsh," he said.

Yami and Yugi smirked. A faint ringing sound suddenly came from somewhere. The three teens looked around, then Christina looked at the older "adult".

"I think your pocket's ringing."

"Huh? Oh!" he pulled it out of his pocket and answered it. "Hello... Hey ma..... Aw... Do I gotta?... Fine. Be there in a few minutes."

"Hey I gotta split. See ya."

He hopped over the back fence and walked down until he reached his own house.
