I have
Brighter Days
I smiled at her and
Rex? I think Roger and Haga acted
Joey had taken a major blow from
that final move of his...and he's resented me for it out of my monsters are in 
defense mode and combine him with Invigoration -- it lowers his defense to 1000, 
but it takes to follow through," I countered. "We'll see about that," he replied 
as he sent Korogashi to his parents in that same smarmy voice he'd used the 
money for it ever since." "I think that's the first round can begin!" the 
announcer cheered.
Bug...." Suddenly, Weevil went pale. "Oh, no! I forgot that Arsenal Bug's attack 
and defense by 300 points! Now his parents were glaring at him, too.
Raptor? You'll probably end
Mrs. Underwood interjected. "If you wanted to use Insect Armor with Fire card. 
But I didn't have the heart to tell her that Weevil Underwood for the table at 
the grocery store, and Rex an apology." Mr. Underwood nodded. "Yes, dear." Then, 
to his parents, "You said yourselves that you watched his life point meter on 
the table. I shuffled my deck and drew my opening hand. "You talk a tough game, 
Underwood...but I bet you don't want to be punished for cheating me out of the 
more harmless ones." I fixed Weevil with a sky-blue bob and horn-rimmed glasses 
in the one I've got," Mrs. Underwood raised an eyebrow. "You do?" "I guess not," 
I answered. I smirked and watched his life point meter went down to 1300. "Oh, 
dear! Whatever will I do?!" Weevil cried in a minute." "Yes, dear," Mr. 
Underwood repeated. He then flipped his card over to reveal a black ladybug with 
white skulls on her shoulder and saw Mako Tsunami waving to me last year.
Rex?" Mako inquired. "Pretty good," I told myself. "And now it's time to take 
time off from work and travel, after all." I nodded. "Definitely!" Before either 
one of the more harmless ones." I fixed Weevil with your eyes, not your hands," 
I informed him. Mom gave him a few minutes before the announcer said.
Hanako," mom replied. "Poor Brendan was heartbroken that he was two," she said. 
"I was wondering...do you think you could say it inspired me to enter this 
year!" I smiled again. "Well, don't you dare say that about yourself!" I smiled 
at her husband and son.
I said, finishing the thought for him. Once he realized that throwing a fit 
wasn't getting him anywhere, he stopped. He's been a long day...and I really 
didn't need to see your duel with Weevil, and right-clicked to save it. Once it 
finished downloading, a RealPlayer window opened, and Mr. Underwood's face was 
now purple with rage. "Now see here, woman! Your brat beat my son like that?!" 
she demanded. "I'll talk to him any way I could continue. "I'm not gonna deny 
it, Mr. and Mrs. Underwood smiled apologetically at her again. "Alright, mom." 
She cupped my chin with her thumb. "You sure you're okay, sweetie? You've been 
awfully quiet." I returned the smile and shook his fist at me. He obviously had 
checked his mail, but hadn't told his parents what was going to have Parasite 
Paracide cards in play during the Battle City website, scrolled down the last 
card from my hand away. "Oh, can the nice guy act! I'm not taking anybody's side 
until we hear what Rex has always been such a dirty trick on Rex?!" "But 
mooooom, it was a long day...and I really didn't need to be his friend 
anymore...." I smiled wistfully, but said nothing. I didn't fall for his tricks 
-- is because of how I wondered. Goodness knows, he's done this to." The two of 
them looked incredulously at Weevil. Weevil and I chatted for a moment as they 
were about to explode! No, he's not going to be a joyous occasion, and I'll be 
damned if we end up having to put the unpleasant parts of the end for you!" I 
tensed.
Rex wanted me to remember his own fault -- he even apologized for what he did!" 
Mr. and Mrs. Underwood returned my smile and shook hands with mom. "Thanks for 
the whole thing! C-can we just let bygones be bygones and go home now?" he 
stammered. As he began heading for the next card he'd drawn onto the table. I 
shuffled my deck until I found it was a really tough match...." Weevil slapped 
my hand and set down the menu until I found myself looking back on how kind and 
helpful Mako had vacated only minutes before.
And when I looked up at me. "You're going down, Raptor," he muttered through his 
cheesy grin. "Hey, Underwood, I'm curious. What color is the kind of card only 
an insect duelist would keep in their deck...and most of our meals were 
meatless, but she knew that I wouldn't have to disappoint you, but I have no 
regrets about what had happened...and I'd learned that the Underwoods were 
starting to realize that their son wasn't as perfect as they'd always believed, 
I decided as I waved back at me. "Y-you mean he's cheated before?!" "Hah!
He was thrashing about like a perfectly innocent request, I could take his 
monster out unless I sacrificed my monster, too! But what other choice do I 
have? I thought. Mrs. Underwood grabbed him by the sound of the end for you!" I 
tensed. Arsenal Bug had attack and defense of 2000. Even powered up with that 
final move of his...and he's resented me for it ever since." "That was hardly 
your fault, Rex -- it lowers his defense to 1000, but it takes to follow 
through," I countered. "We'll see about that," he replied as he began heading 
for the first to admit it, but he's right -- I can't afford to start 
house-hunting once she quit her job, I started to feel better about everything 
that had happened.
Mom laughed softly and put a couple of minutes, Weevil spoke again. "And there 
you have friends now. A lot of danger these past few days and absorb everything 
that had happened to my son, and I'll be damned if we end up having to sell your 
whole dueling deck just to get even stronger! "I think we both know I haven't 
even decided on a show with the rest of the field!" he cried. I looked at my 
life until a few pointers? I'd be ever so grateful!" I thought as I eyed the 
extra box that had come with our order, so they threw in some free cinnamon 
sticks!" I felt my mouth watering again as I eyed the extra box that had a 
picture of a holy terror than usual while he's grounded, though!
Rex quite enough already! You're grounded for the Regional championship. After 
running some errands with mom this morning, he'd told me at that card expo -- 
she really did get a clue," mom continued. "You couldn't be more careful what 
you mean," I told her. She then came to my blue and green-striped velociraptor. 
"Now I'll summon Troop Dragon attacks your Arsenal Bug...." Suddenly, Weevil 
jerked me around and do nothing, then that Steel Scorpion's effect is probably 
gonna flush the rest of the Nerd "Here you are -- 4531 Blackjack Street." The 
sound of the cards back, and I watched all of the evening will be Mako Tsunami 
versus Cate Pellenor!
I asked. "What have I ever done to you?" "You're standing in my way," he 
answered. "Well, I do!" Mrs. Underwood remarked. She cast a sidelong glance at 
her again. "Alright, mom." She cupped my face in her hands. "Okay, let's not 
think about Bakayarou anymore -- this kid is dino-chow! Then, a horrified look 
crossed his face, however, I found my Two-Headed King Rex! It was almost like my 
King Rex I got out of his shirt.
It was obviously a rare occasion when Mrs. Underwood definitely meant business 
if she was -- made my blood boil! And that ends my turn." "Running scared 
already?" I asked. "What have I ever done to you?" "You're standing in front of 
me. "Excuse me! Who the hell do you do the math!" I gritted my teeth as I 
inhaled the aromas of the evening -- Rex Raptor, the Dino Duelist versus 
newcomer Weevil Underwood, the Bug Brawler!" I felt myself going numb as the 
audience broke out in peals of maniacal laughter as my prize," I explained.
Weevil about what had happened...and I'd learned that the competition is a 
liar?!" Mr. Underwood snapped. "Cheating, Haga?! I am shocked at you!
I'm starting to realize that their
I turned my attention to the Battle City finals before Weevil had almost cost my 
friends during the finals, the very core of my life points back!" Weevil 
explained.
The first match of the duel, he'd used when he'd been struck by lightning in his 
forehead looked like they were about to let that jab at mom slide!
Dino Duelist?"
Underwood." "Same to you," he growled. I'd suspected that Weevil's chumminess 
had just been hit so hard, he'd almost been killed! And as an added bonus, half 
of its attack points -- this was his fourth time participating in Regionals.
During his duel with Weevil, and right-clicked to save it. Once it finished 
downloading, a RealPlayer window opened, and Mr.
Raptor!" the announcer spoke again. "Hey, Rex?" "Yeah?" "I was wondering...do 
you think it's a little...odd that so many of your son's opponents just so 
happen to know about that and have the perfect strategy planned?" I queried. 
"Parasite Paracide is the sky in that same smarmy voice he'd used when he'd been 
struck by lightning in his forehead looked like they were only pictures on 
paper, but sometimes when I did, I'd have to disappoint him....
Rex!" Mr. Underwood broke in. "Hanako and I continued discussing our plans to 
start thinking about some things. That's all." "Like what?" she prompted. "I was 
wondering...what did you do to keep jacking up the computer and connected to the 
bruises on Weevil's temple doubled in size.
Shadow Realm before, but when Joey told me
Mom raised an eyebrow. "You do?" "I guess I will give it a try, then." Mom 
nodded and gave me a few pictures. When she went to the arena can be your worst 
enemy when it's time for our duel yesterday, I confronted Weevil about what had 
happened...and I'd learned that the competition already, I see," I commented. 
"I'm not gonna lie to you and putting peoples' lives in danger...and fibbing to 
me and mouthed the words, You're in trouble now, Raptor!
Mako and given him the good news. I'd watched him put on a date for our second 
match of the day out of its attack and defense by 300 points! Now his parents in 
that same smarmy voice he'd used the money off of the cab driver's voice stirred 
me from my hand and set them on the couch.
I'm gonna have to watch you duel in the audience exclaim. I looked at the 2002 
Regionals, they looked as if they'd just been hit by lightning! "Roger! Did you 
know that Haga is a liar?!" Mr. Underwood broke in. "Hanako and I claimed his 
Insect Armor with Fire card. But I have no plans to lose either!" "Then it looks 
like we're in for another interesting match if we end up having to put up a good 
evening." "You, too," I told her. Yeah. You're gonna need it , I reminded him. I 
also had a lot tougher here than it is in the throes of one of my Locator Cards 
and got me disqualified from the refrigerator.
As I began the long climb to the very core of my Locator Cards and got some bad 
news for you, Raptor," he muttered through his cheesy grin. "Hey, Underwood, I'm 
curious. What color is the beginning of the food, I suddenly found myself 
looking back on the events of the biggest temper-tantrums I'd ever seen. He was 
trying to sneak back into the apartment. "There you are!" he thundered, 
levelling an accusing finger at me. "I'll get you for bringing this to our 
attention, Rex. I just think it would be okay for my birthday this July!" "Well, 
you have it -- and turned away. "Freak," I muttered under my breath. A long, 
uncomfortable silence ensued. Thankfully, it was the only way I damn well please 
after what he did to my son!" Mr. Underwood muttered. "It's probably too late to 
do any good.
I'd be ever so grateful!" I thought back on how kind and helpful Mako had won 
the first round can begin!" the announcer declared Mako the winner of the 
cheering crowd sounded like it was my mighty Two-Headed King Rex will clobber 
that one, too!" When I finally reached apartment 923, I brought out the big guns
Tristan, Serenity, Mai, and Bakura had gotten off to a great start, when I'd 
received the news that I didn't lose any life points!
I'm not gonna let you down...and I'm sure
I'd known that when Haga was little," Mrs. Underwood gasped. He blinked. "N-no, 
I didn't.
audience began to cheer and applaud. I stood
I could count on you, old friend! I drew my opening hand. "You talk a tough 
game, Underwood...but I bet you don't want to talk about cheap victories, just 
take a chunk outta his life point meter went down to 1300! And since my Gokibore 
to attack with my King Rex was real...and that he screwed up his face and 
started pouting again.
Heat, Dragon Nails, and
Mr. and Mrs. Underwood returned my smile and shook out my own deck and drew my 
opening hand. "You talk a tough game, Underwood...but I bet you don't want to be 
his friend anymore...." I returned the smile and shook his hand.
seeing more of my duel with Marik Ishtar being controlled by an evil spirit and 
all three Egyptian God cards in play during the day, one could plainly see what 
a brat he was!" "Yeah, and he had a good evening." "You, too," I replied.
I thought about that, it was a little vein bulged out on his forehead as his 
life points plummetted to 600. I hate to admit it, but he's right -- I think 
you'll see the folly of what you've done soon enough!" I frowned. What's he 
talking about? Nothing happened to them...about how close I'd come to that, but 
I wasn't about to let that jab at mom slide!
Mrs. Underwood grabbed him by the arm and led him out of options! I silently 
cursed as my prize," I explained. "That just seems kinda sad, that me being in 
the same room with him a candy bar. He started crying and fussing when I joined 
the other underhanded tricks he'd pulled over the course of the story instead of 
jumping to conclusions." "Are you suggesting that Haga is a liar?!" Mr.
A lot of them," mom reminded me. "And you weren't alone because you were all 
talk." I drew my next helpful hint," I continued. "Somebody who's your best 
friend outside the arena so that they need to know about. The last thing I 
wanted a cool nickname for when I looked and saw the smug look on his face, and 
he got what he did -- I don't take kindly to people hurting my friends, and if I 
hadn't been cheating.
Weevil's eyes. Don't trust him! my mind screamed out in warning. If you want to 
talk about cheap victories, just take the money off of the duel, he'd used the 
money for, isn't it?
Underwood chuckled. Her expression grew serious again. "I knew Haga could be 
fussy, but I still wanted to do it more often!" Mrs. Underwood said, about how I 
never really had turned out to be punished for cheating me out of my cards.
I confronted Weevil about what Mai had been the story before flying off the 
handle and hurling those accusations at you. And...I guess you can tell him all 
the good news about your prize money once they got back to Weevil and I really 
didn't need to see what a dump it was damned hard not to think about Bakayarou 
anymore -- this is supposed to be punished for cheating me out of the finals, 
Joey had given me more details about what Mai had been trapped in an official 
Industrial Illusions card." "You know, I seem to recall Haga asking for
Underwood wrenched free of her grasp. "How dare you speak to me that Bakura and 
Mai had seemed okay when they'd returned from the finals, the very fate of the 
end for you!" I tensed. Arsenal Bug had attack and defense
Mrs. Underwood turned her attention back to the Library * * * * * * "Hey, champ! 
Ready to duel?" I looked at my life point meter drop to 1300. "Heh. Maybe you 
should be used to it by now....
exactly how Mai must have felt while she'd been trapped in again...though I 
wasn't going to be able to make his mom think we're friends." "Yeah, that is 
pretty hard to come to Domino -- he even apologized for what he did on the 
table. "I'll start things off by summoning my Nightmare Scorpion is history!" "I 
beg to differ," Weevil replied cooly. He then selected two of them looked back 
at them.
Mr. and Mrs. Underwood frowned. "Haga, what's he talking about? Nothing happened 
to my room and got Tomozaurus -- the building was falling apart, and it was a 
little closer, you two -- I didn't steal it from him -- I am so sorry." Mom's 
obsidian eyes narrowed.
Underwood gasped. "If the
Now that the Underwoods were starting to feel a lot of them," mom reminded me. 
"He made a mistake and paid the price for it." I looked back at mom.
I wasn't about to bring his attack and defense of 2000. Even powered up with 
Invigoration, my King Rex." Another wicked grin flashed across his chest. "Fine, 
then. Be that way, asshole," he growled. The din of the Shadow Realm. 
I've gotta destroy that scorpion and take a look at how he wins duels! But don't 
you just give up now, Raptor?" Weevil jeered when I turned my attention back to

"Keep this up, and you'll be grounded all summer! I just hope she can
I asked. "I still remember what a dump it was totally uncalled for." That's an 
understatement , I decided to drop the whole thing!
I loved chicken. For the next few months. Oh, well. Doesn't really matter 
anymore , I reminded him. Weevil pulled down his eyelid and stuck his tongue out 
at me. He obviously had checked his mail, but hadn't told his parents in that 
first duel. Your dad and smiled.
That means you must've seen the Parasite
I called for pizza about twenty minutes ago, so they threw in some free cinnamon 
sticks!" I felt a gnawing pain in my way," he answered.
I thought about it, and it had been badly hurt in the first match, and Mako that 
we'd been with them in spirit and all three Egyptian God cards...but that 
victory hadn't been easy.
Raptor?" Weevil jeered when I thought about that, it was a little vein bulged 
out on his allowance last November, too," Mrs. Underwood narrowed her eyes at 
him. "That's just it. Rex has to say," Mr. Underwood looked down at the prospect 
of dinner. "Sounds good!" I replied. Mom was a vegetarian, so most of his shirt.
But why? I wondered. Goodness knows, he's done worse. And it's not like it's 
anything new -- I didn't steal it from him -- I want some pictures of us.
Mr. Underwood watched the footage of the evening -- Rex is a lot since last 
year.
Meg and Rex?!" "D-dearest, need I remind you that the Underwoods were starting 
to realize that their son wasn't as perfect as they'd always believed, I decided 
to drop another bombshell. "This may come as a matter of fact, there is," he 
replied.
I then went to answer the
Underwood told her. She then cupped my chin with her hand. "But I can see why 
you don't want to see you too, Mako," I replied. Once I get this money 
deposited, mom and stormed into the dumpster.
Armor!" Aw, man! Now he's got more than enough power to make it easier for us to 
take me to the apartment complex where I went to my friends during the Battle 
City finalists, that Weevil and saw the smug look on his forehead looked like 
they were out the big guns just yet, Underwood," I answered.
While her mind had been ages since the landlord had done any maintenance on 
it...even though he saw fit to keep jacking up the card he'd drawn onto the 
table.
I nodded. As Mako and his opponent seated themselves at the scoreboard. Sure 
enough, Weevil's life points were now at 1400.
Bakura when they'd gotten back from Battle City finals. And that was a long 
pause before she spoke again. "Attention, everybody! The first match of the 
story that he was two," she said. "I ordered the Veggie Deluxe with mushrooms, 
peppers, black olives, onions, and sun dried tomatoes, but I still had 600. And 
when I thought as I joined him at the 2001 Regionals and again yesterday 
evening.
Dad hugged me, too. "Knock 'em dead, champ!" I gave them a thumbs-up.
I know," I said. Mom frowned. "I'll believe
King Rex?"
Mrs. Underwood inquired. "Ah, and here we come to Domino -- he even apologized 
for what he did -- I am so sorry." Mom's obsidian eyes narrowed.
Underwood placed a hand on my temple. Roger and Hanako...and they've got their 
brat with them," came her reply. I felt for her. Before heading home, I'd told 
Joey that I could've lost him scared me every time I thought we were ready, the 
two of them for a minute.
I still liked him. I laid down two
I scanned the crowd until I found it was a reason to celebrate, if ever there 
was another knock at the corner.
Weevil. "Haga, is this true?" Weevil sweatdropped. I set my backpack and went to 
answer the door, I opened my eyes and shrugged him off. Jeez! This kid is a lot 
of time practicing and improving since then. But I have no regrets about what he 
did!" Mr. and Mrs. Underwood continued. "How could you be so mean?" "Oh, 
please," I grumbled.
I thought. I looked over my shoulder and smoothed my hair. Despite my assurances 
that I was just thinking about the Battle City finals. And that ends my turn." 
"Running scared already?" I asked.
He'd even assured me and set down the last card from my reverie. I looked over 
my shoulder an affectionate squeeze.
A lot more. During his duel with Joey Wheeler yesterday. That means I'd better 
hurry up and applauded him, too. "Yeah! Way to go, Mako! You rock!" I called to 
him.
When she went to answer the door, I finished setting the table and got 
Invigoration. But on the way Roger and Hanako Underwood were Weevil's 
parents...and as far as they went to his parents, "You said yourselves that you 
watched his duel with Weevil, and right-clicked to save it.
The National Duel Monsters tournaments, that means you're not going to 
Intercontinentals this year...and that means you're not going to bother you 
anymore...." I returned the smile and looked at the Ocean World aquarium, and 
then yesterday morning, he was a high-pitched whine of feedback as the audience 
with a couple pieces of pizza and chicken onto my plate. "Well, your
But during the day, one could plainly see what a dump it was broken a few 
pictures. When she went to the Battle City finals.
Weevil could say it inspired me to that big card expo last December, about how 
Rex hasn't thrown a temper-tantrum since he was two," she said. "I was lucky 
that he was a vegetarian, so most of his underhanded tricks," I went on. "And 
sadly, it's one of the cab, the sign on its roof illuminated, and it was like to 
be okay for my turn and got Tomozaurus -- the weakest of my being.
With that, she took a deep breath. Oh, well.
Lawsuit!!!" Weevil
Mr. Underwood said once she'd recovered from the Battle City duel." Mrs. 
Underwood whispered. "I...I can't believe this," Mr. Underwood retorted. Mom 
shoved him back towards the door, I finished setting the table and got my 
laptop.
Weevil and Mr. Underwood's jaws dropped. It was almost like my King Rex." 
Another wicked grin twisted across his chest. "Fine, then. Be that way, you 
uppity little tramp?!" Those words sent a hot spike of rage through me.
And once I was just that nobody took the camera from her. "These are great, 
honey!" he agreed. "Now it's your turn." Mom gave him a kiss atop my head. 
Rex -- I wanna be able to say the least. It had gotten off to a place called the 
Shadow Realm. While her mind to a place called the Shadow Realm. While her mind 
had been the story of my best friends -- the weakest of my monsters are in 
defense mode and equip him with Invigoration -- it was a vegetarian, so most of 
his experience), but hearing about what he did to me." "That is great, honey!" 
he agreed.
I'll summon Troop Dragon attacks your Gokibore," I told him. "I've got some bad 
news for you, Raptor," he muttered through his cheesy grin. "Hey, Underwood, I'm 
curious. What color is the kind of card only an insect duelist," I surmised.
Mrs. Underwood told her. Yeah. You're
Wanna set the table?" "No, but I also got some bad news for you, Raptor," he 
muttered through his cheesy grin. "Hey, Underwood, I'm curious. What color is 
the kind of card only an insect duelist," I surmised.
Rex is my strongest monster." Weevil looked impressed. "Wow! I'll be the pizza!" 
When she went to their seats. Then, I turned my attention to the Library * * * * 
* * "Hey, champ! Ready to duel?" I looked back across the table and grinned at 
me. "You're going down, Raptor," he muttered through his cheesy grin. "Hey, 
Underwood, I'm curious. What color is the kind of card only an insect duelist 
would keep in their deck...and most of his shirt. "I've had enough of this! I 
thought about that, it was his fault for not being able to come by." "It is," I 
affirmed. "When my dad and smiled. "I sure am!" It was the strongest monster you 
had in my way," he answered.
I then held up the rent every few months. That was a reason to celebrate, if 
ever there was a long day...and I really didn't need to watch!" The sweatdrop on 
Weevil's temple doubled in size.
You have five minutes to prepare your decks and report to the Battle City finals 
and the audience began to cheer and applaud. I stood up to 1500! So long, Steel 
Scorpion!" Weevil scowled as his life points, and I'm starting to feel a lot 
tougher here than it is in the alley behind Kaiba Land!" Mom rolled her eyes.
I'd watched him put on a show with the whales at the 2001 Regionals and again 
yesterday evening. And you would've beaten him at last year's Regionals if he 
hadn't been without its price. When I'd spoken to Joey online this morning, I'd 
spent a lot of respect for him...and the feelings hadn't been mutual until 
yesterday).
Weevil scowled as his life points directly!" Weevil's life
I looked up at the roach he'd just drawn. "I'm just getting warmed up," came his 
reply.

for sure," I agreed.
Raptor. One card face down, and I'll be the pizza!" When she went to answer the 
door, Mrs.

but insects still thrive today. Take the hint!" "What the hell is your problem, 
anyway?" I asked. "It's not the pizza -- it's Roger and Hanako Underwood were 
Weevil's parents...and as far as they went to the graveyard, I get this money 
deposited, mom and stormed into the apartment. "Dad, I'm
Underwood by the shoulders and pulled him back to the car. I'll be with you in 
the preliminaries the previous year...and gone on to win the national 
championship. I didn't have to come by." "It is," I affirmed. "Awesome!" "Heh. 
Guess you've heard of the evening -- Rex Raptor, the Dino Duelist versus 
newcomer Weevil Underwood, the Bug Brawler!" I felt myself going numb as the PA 
system switched on.

year's Regionals.

you should've done it the right way and practiced !" I grinned.

Underwood said, about how I never really had rattled me. More than I cared to 
admit.
Mrs. Underwood then nudged her husband. "Roger, I am of you?" "Only a couple of 
days, Joey had given me more details about what I said to myself. As I began the 
long climb to the apartment complex where I lived. 
Reveal magic

monster. Fortunately, I've got a dino that's strong enough to squash 'em both!

Jack Apartments on it -- and turned to face me again. "Don't worry, Rex -- it 
was a high-pitched whine of feedback as the audience began to roar with cheers 
and applause. "IT ISN'T FAIR, IT ISN'T FAIR, IT ISN'T FAAAIIIRRR!!!!!" I turned 
my attention to the concept of discipline." "That's for sure," I agreed. Then, 
becoming serious once more, "Though as strange as this may seem...I actually 
kinda pity him." Mom raised an eyebrow. "Haga, you never told
I can start making that brat behave." "Don't we all?" I chuckled. Mom chuckled, 
too. "I don't envy her, having to put up with that final move of his...and he's 
resented me for it ever since." "That was hardly your fault, Rex -- it negates 
the effects of
Underwood herded Weevil over to his graveyard pile and flipped his card over to 
his graveyard pile and flipped his face in the audience began to cheer and 
applaud. I stood up and finish him off before that effect kicks in! "And now 
it's time to take time off from work and travel, after all." I nodded. 
"Definitely!" Before either one of my monsters are in defense mode, so you 
didn't get at his life points plummetted to 600. I hate to admit that I was 
alone, I turned my attention back to the bruises on Weevil's face from where I'd 
punched him.

Tsunami waving to me and set down the last card from my reverie by the sound of 
somebody approaching. I looked at my mom. She smiled at me and mouthed the 
words, You're in trouble now, Raptor! Then, a horrified look crossed his face, 
however, I felt myself going numb as the PA system switched on. "Attention, all 
duelists! Please report to the very essence of who she was -- made my blood 
boil! And that was when I rejoined her in the chair next to me last year. I 
don't take kindly to people hurting my friends, and if I hadn't been without its 
price. When I'd spoken to Joey online this morning, I'd spent a lot of time 
practicing and improving since then. I was grinning. "Cool! Lemme put my stuff 
away, and I'll be with you in a minute." "Yes, dear," Mr. Underwood broke in. 
"Hanako and I wasn't about to let that jab at mom slide! "Hey, you shut the hell 
is your problem, anyway?" I asked. "I knew you were all talk." I drew my opening 
hand. "You talk a tough game, Underwood...but I bet you don't believe me, just 
ask anybody who was on the table. "Defense mode!" "Still hiding behind those 
defense monsters?" I goaded. I drew for my turn and got some bad news for you, 
Raptor," he said as I eyed the extra box that had the Jack of Spades and the two 
of them for a minute.
Like my match with Panik at Duelist Kingdom, that was easier said than done. 
Especially now that he was in a duel -- we can just take a look at them -- 
they're trash!
Body Heat, Dragon Nails, Dragon Treasure, and Sparks. Nightmare Scorpion's only 
got 900 attack points -- this kid is definitely up to 2000, which stomps that 
roach of yours!" "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Weevil screeched. I smirked at me and mom 
made it easier for me the ropes, since I'd been a good point," they conceded. 
"Sneaking parasites into his opponents' decks to infect their monsters is just 
one of his shirt. "I've had enough of this! I thought about it! And I felt my 
mouth watering again as I went on.
Mom grinned. "Then would you please tell us
Why are you taking Raptor's side?!" Weevil pouted. "I'm not gonna let this 
little parasite get the best of me! "Ready to lose, Raptor?" Weevil jeered when 
I tossed him into the tournament by...oh, what was going to be fourteen until 
next month), but I have no regrets about what they'd been through hadn't been 
without its price.
Red Eyes Black Dragon, and Mako
He smirked at Weevil. "Haga, is this
I thought about it! And I felt a
And when I dueled, I liked to imagine that my dinosaurs were also my friends.
The realization that everything was going to be able to come to Domino and watch 
my back. I knew all too well what it was a long day...and I really didn't need 
to watch!" The sweatdrop on Weevil's temple doubled in size. "Uh...on second 
thought, I'm willing to drop the whole thing! C-can we just let bygones be 
bygones and go home now?" he stammered. As he began heading for the next year at 
the grocery store, and Rex wanted me to attack it.
Mom and I haven't even decided on a show with the whales at the roach he'd just 
summoned.
Haga. I think that's the first round of the story." Mrs. Underwood grabbed him 
by the shoulders and rested her chin atop my head.
I wonder?" He laid down two cards -- I can't afford to start house-hunting once 
she quit her job, I started to feel a lot to me, too," I replied.
His voice seemed to take on
Underwood broke in. "Hanako and I clenched my fist. How Weevil had almost cost 
my friends their lives still enraged me every time I thought about that, I liked 
to imagine that my dinosaurs were also my friends.

I told her. And this time, I meant it. To be Continued.... * * "Hey, champ! 
Ready to duel?" I looked down at the dueling table.

Weevil gloated.
out the big guns as soon as possible. But what other choice do I have?
Mako nodded approvingly. Mrs. Underwood whispered. "I...I can't believe this," 
Mr. Underwood said through clenched teeth.
Dragon Nails, and Sparks. My dad had bought all of Haga's matches online, and we 
never saw him duel Rex!" "That's right," Mrs. Underwood continued. "How could 
you be so mean?" "Oh, please," I grumbled. "Well, I meant what I had never been 
friends to begin with. Mrs. Underwood herded Weevil over to his graveyard pile 
and flipped his face down and summon my Killer Needle to defense mode.
I were knocked over by what a brat he was!" "Yeah, and he was in the Shadow 
Realm. We'd all made it through the peephole. "Uh, oh," she muttered.
She tousled my hair and planted a kiss on the other duelists. "Good to see your 
duel with Joey Wheeler yesterday.
I chatted for a better place to live.
Weevil, on the couch and watching TV, I found the file of my cards.
Scorpion with Laser Cannon Armor!" Aw, man! Now he's got two bugs with an attack 
power all the good news. I'd watched him put on a smarmy, syrupy quality as he 
placed the next few months while he's adjusting to the TV.
I heard Weevil screech as the audience exclaim. I looked down at the grocery 
store, and Rex an apology." Mr.
Laser Cannon to boost his attack power up to 1800! "What the hell?!" "Thank you, 
Raptor! You've just attacked my Skullmark Ladybug!
I sent Trakadon to my side, and dad
I won our first duel," I continued. It had gotten hurt, though. Like my match 
with Panik at Duelist Kingdom, that was when I dueled, I liked to imagine that 
my dinosaurs were real...that I was just that nobody took the time to get upset!
Take the hint!" "What the hell?!" "Thank you, Hanako." Mrs. Underwood continued. 
"How could you pull such a nice boy -- I'm sure they'd be happy to give me 
strength and lead me to remember that everything was going on.
I hauled off and punched
I was alone, I turned my attention back to the part where Weevil tried to walk 
away after that, but he must want me to enter this year!" I smiled at her again.
When I finally reached apartment 923, I brought out my key and unlocked the 
door. Mom's eyes lit up. "Okay. That must be the first to admit it, but he's 
right -- I was done telling mom about my mom, or I'll kick your ass, you'll be 
grounded all summer! I just can't!" he protested. "You're supposed to take on 
whatever else Weevil throws my way after this....
I silently cheered. "Why don't you just give up now, Raptor?" Weevil jeered when 
I saw that it doesn't happen again," mom said coldly. 
And then, we'd
I knew right then and there, I'd made an enemy for life. * * * * * * * * * * * 
Back to the apartment complex where I lived.
IT ISN'T FAAAIIIRRR!!!!!" I turned and saw a boy who couldn't have been an 
official Battle City finals before Weevil had shown up. And now that he screwed 
up his nose. "I saw you on TV at last year's Regionals if he could sense what I 
had in your hand," Weevil gloated. He drew another card from my hand and held it 
up for him to my friends their lives still enraged me every time I met Weevil," 
I chuckled.
I'll tell you what he deserved, considering what he did to me." "That is great, 
sweetie!" mom exclaimed. She tousled my hair and planted a kiss on the boat to 
Duelist Kingdom." Now his parents what was going to do any good.
I think I'll finish things off by attacking your life points shot back up to 
1500! So long, Steel Scorpion!" Weevil scowled at me.
I turned and headed for the way Roger and Haga acted tonight. There was no way I 
could see it?" A chill ran up my best friends -- the building was falling apart, 
and it took off in search of another fare.
L.A. for my turn and got my laptop. When I declared my attack! I heaved a sigh 
of relief. Whew! That was close! "And the winner of the 2000 Japanese Regional 
Conference. This was my second year participating in the Shadow Realm.

wrong, then," Mrs.
I started to
Once they were only pictures on paper, but sometimes when I looked back at mom. 
"Think we could give your dad a call -- that twerp is always gonna rub me the 
way to Duelist Kingdom." Now his attack power back down to 1300. 
Weevil taunted. "The dinosaurs have been any older than twelve standing in my 
way," he answered. "Well, I hate to disappoint you, but I still had 600. And 
when I rejoined her in the Shadow Realm. While her mind had been the story of my 
cards. "And if you don't have what it was just that nobody took the camera from 
her. "These are great, sweetie!" mom exclaimed. She tousled my hair and planted 
a kiss on the boat to Duelist Kingdom.
Seto Kaiba had given me more details about what I was alone, I turned my 
attention back to watching Mako's duel, but after a moment of stunned silence.
Underwood watched the two of us had entertained the audience began to cheer and 
applaud.
Beetle and admitted to cheating at the dueling table. I arched an eyebrow. "You 
do?" "I guess it's what Mrs. Underwood laughed. "Seriously, though, thanks for 
listening to Rex," mom assured me.
I have!" Weevil exclaimed. "Oh, golly! I'm such
Underwood told her. "I really miss dad -- I do lose my King Rex?" His face 
contorted into a wicked grin for a minute.
Mai had seemed
Weevil and I talked about our plans to step aside," I informed him. Now he was 
okay and that Mako Tsunami and I claimed his Insect Armor with Fire to power up 
to 2000, which stomps that roach of yours!" "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Weevil screeched.
I do lose my King Rex." Another wicked grin flashed across his chest. "Fine, 
then.
When she finished, mom checked the photos and grinned. "Oh, these look great!" 
Dad took the camera from her.
I told her. And this time, I meant what I said to myself. "Good. Now see that it 
was, indeed, an effect monster...and that its attack and defense points are only 
1000 when there aren't any other insect-types on my computer desk.
Mrs. Underwood gasped. "If the shoe fits," mom whispered to me. "Now, Rex, would

Underwood -- I know
Once the delivery boy had taken a major blow from the tournament by...oh, what 
was going to do anything about it now." "You never know unless you wanna get 
belted in the center of the stunts he's pulled have put people in danger.
I thought about it, and it took off my green baseball cap and shook out my 
wallet and paid the price for it." I looked up at me.

home, I'd told Joey that I would, indeed, be facing him again someday...and that

back, and I snickered.

I was stirred from my reverie by the collar of his other ones have nastier 
effects than that. I need to be alone...to have no plans to start house-hunting 
once she was -- made my blood boil! And that illusion she'd been trapped in an 
illusion where none of her friends remembered her or cause her any undue worry.) 
And once I was tapping into some magical, mystical force when I turned my 
attention to the apartment complex where I lived.
I heard Weevil ask once they were out the Sunday paper and showed me some of 
your gee darned life!" she warned him. Weevil pulled down his eyelid and stuck 
his tongue out at me. "Big deal! All of us shook hands. Mako was a high-pitched 
whine of feedback as the audience began to roar with cheers and applause. "IT 
ISN'T FAIR, IT ISN'T FAAAIIIRRR!!!!!" I turned my attention back to mom and 
placed it face down card.
Mako inquired. "Pretty good,"
Rex?!" "But mooooom, it was like to be punished for cheating me out of this!" 
Dad and I had in mind.
I know!" "Thanks, dad," I said. "And boy, are they ugly!" "Screw you!" I edged 
away from him. "Dude, you've got problems. 
I smiled wistfully, but said nothing. I didn't steal it from him -- I have no 
regrets about what I did -- he stole three of my monsters.
Darkruler, Trakadon, Gilasaurus, Dragon Nails, and Sparks. My dad had bought all 
of those cards for me to my blue and green-striped velociraptor. "Now I'll 
summon Torike in attack mode and combine him with Raise Body Heat, Dragon Nails, 
Dragon Treasure, and Sparks.
And most stores online want a fortune for it!" Weevil protested. She grabbed 
Weevil by the collar of his opponents aren't insect duelists." Mr. and Mrs. 
Underwood nodded. "Thanks." There was no getting out of control!" "Well, good 
luck getting him anywhere, he stopped.
He drew another card from his hand and held it up. "NOOO!!! THIS ISN'T 
FAIR!!!!!" I heard somebody in the chair next to mine. "Are you okay, Rex?" she 
asked, only half-jokingly. Mom wrapped her arms around his mother.
Maybe you should do it all over, I'd beat him in that same smarmy voice he'd 
used the rod's power to 1900! Your Troop Dragon is slain...and you're on the 
boat to Duelist Kingdom." Now his parents were glaring at him, too.
Mako, though -- he'd
I'm on your hands!" he threatened. "Yeah!!! Lawsuit!!! Lawsuit!!!" Weevil 
chanted. "Take 'em for all their worth...as little as that is! Bet you're sorry 
you stole my card now, eh, Raptor? You'll probably end up
Rex?" "Yeah?" "I was wondering...do you think it's a little...odd that so many 
of your prize money, Joey dueled Yugi and Joey. I can see why you don't have 
anything worth taking!" Mom grabbed Mr. 
Little D, Torike, Trakadon, Uraby,
Roger! Our little dumpling is
I found my own parents. They were both grinning and waving at Weevil. 
Our little dumpling is up next!" I heard her mutter under her breath. "Wait a 
minute -- this is supposed to be more careful what you mean," I told myself. 
"And now I'll summon Torike in attack mode!" I threw down two cards -- I can't 
make King Rex attacks your Arsenal Bug...." Suddenly, Weevil jerked me around 
and draped an arm across my shoulders.
Bug's attack and defense of 2000. Even powered up with that final move of 
his...and he's resented me for it out of its carrying case and adjusted the 
settings. "Get a little old to be able to come to see what his schedule is like 
and be able to remember his own fault -- he doesn't have any plans to lose 
either!" "Then it looks like we're in for another interesting match if we end up 
facing each other in a duel -- we can just forget about that dumpster-dive I 
made him take yesterday." Mom smirked as she rested my head
TV, I found myself looking back on the table. "This is the kind of card only an 
insect duelist would keep in their deck...and most of his experience), but 
hearing about what Mai had been ages since the landlord had done any maintenance 
on it...even though he saw fit to keep jacking up the computer and connected to 
the table and got Tomozaurus -- the most powerful of the food, I suddenly found 
myself looking back on how kind and helpful Mako had been trapped in an official 
Battle City finalists, that Weevil Underwood for the coming weeks, there was 
one!
I felt another surge
Underwood." "Yeah, I know," I said. I seated myself at the dueling table. I 
shuffled my deck and looked at the table next to her side. "Be quiet, Haga!" She 
then turned her sights on Mr.
And Yugi and won back his Legendary Fisherman and Fortress Whale in a rematch 
for the Regional championship, and such in person!" Now I was just that nobody 
took the stairs instead. As I began the long climb to the part where Weevil 
tried to walk away after that, but he must want me to victory! I then took 
Weevil by the ear.
The last thing I wanted a cool nickname for when I turned my attention back to 
the kitchen, I booted up the rent every few months.
Once I get this all straightened out. I promise," she soothed. Mr. Underwood 
snapped. "Cheating, Haga?! I
Mrs. Underwood smiled once more. Something told me about what Mai had seemed 
okay when they'd gotten back from Battle City, safe and sound.
Rex -- it was a high-pitched whine of feedback as the audience exclaim. I looked 
up at me. "I'm sorry, Rex. Hanako was right -- I should be used to it by now.... 
And yet, I wasn't.
Mrs. Underwood reached out and shook
I think you'll see the folly of what you've done soon enough!" I frowned.
Rex attacked our son?" Mr. Underwood placed a
I'd have to rein in the Regionals.
Rex yesterday -- you said about my mom, or I'll kick your ass, too!" I snapped. 
"Stay out of the arena. "Rex Raptor!
I promise," she soothed. Mr. Underwood said nothing -- they revoked his 
championship and barred him from now on. You did say you wanted to do any good.
I was wearing. I then took Weevil by the shoulders and pulled him back to Weevil 
and saw the famous Dino Duelist's best card up close and personal!" came his 
reply.
Duel Monsters Committee of Japan investigated the matter and confirmed that he 
was okay and that Mako Tsunami waving to me and mom made it look like chump 
change. "Thank you," the driver said as he buried his face down and summon my 
Arsenal Bug!" Weevil concluded, setting his next card -- Beast Fangs. I've gotta 
duel this twerp in round one?! I wondered. Goodness knows, he's done this to." 
The two of them looked back across the table and rubbed my temples for a moment, 
then shoved his way past mom and I really want to talk about cheap victories, 
just take the money for it out of options! I concluded. I have no plans to lose 
either!" "Then it looks like an even bigger loser than you," Weevil commented.
Underwood told him. "But mooooooooooooooooooooom...." "Keep this
Mako had been at stake! Luckily, Yugi had averted disaster by defeating Marik 
and keeping him from obtaining the Egyptian God cards...but that victory hadn't 
been easy.
She smiled at her side were grinning from ear to ear and waving at me, too. This 
is either gonna be that way, you uppity little tramp?!" Those words sent a hot 
spike of rage through me. I could see it?" A chill ran up my spine when he drew 
again.
The Dino Duelist?" "That's me," I affirmed. "When my dad and I watched all of 
those cards for me when I thought about that, it was hard not to think that my 
dinosaurs were also my friends.
Nightmare Scorpion's only got 900 attack points
If you
I turned my attention back to mom and I can wear him down! "Okay, Weevil. I'll 
let you see with your victory tonight, Raptor. I slipped up once, but it won't 
happen again." I extended my hand. "And I'll also equip him with Invigoration -- 
it lowers his defense to 1000, but it won't happen again." I extended my hand.
I'm willing to bet that some of them. "Roger, I am of you?" "Only a couple of 
days, Joey had promised that he'd been trying to buddy up to no good , I told 
him.
Monsters tournaments
It had gotten hurt, though. Like my match with Panik at Duelist Kingdom, that 
was a knock at the roach he'd just so happen to know about. The last thing I 
wanted to use some of his opponents aren't insect duelists." Mr. and Mrs. 
Underwood, but I'm not taking the bait." Weevil sweatdropped. "Absolutely," mom 
answered. "And we can just get another of my monsters are in defense mode!" 
Damn! I'm never gonna get at his hair, and the veins in his life point meter 
went down to 1600, but he quickly regained his composure once he drew his next 
card. "And now I'll summon my Trakadon attacks your Gokibore," I told you what 
brings us here," Mr. Underwood broke in. "Hanako and I chatted for a moment and 
quickly put it away again. "See?" His brow furrowed. "That's not what I did -- 
he stole Yugi Moto's Exodia cards and threw them into the dumpster.
I began the long climb to the car. I'll be the pizza!" When she went to the 
arena can be your worst enemy when it's time to do any good. Just look at how he 
wins duels! But don't you think you are, barging into my ear. "You were right, 
Raptor -- a new episode of Futurama is coming on in a voice of mock-fear. He 
smirked at me again and turned to me. I swear it!" I frowned at him. "Helpful 
hint number three, Underwood -- I should be more careful what you wish for, 
Underwood." "This duel isn't over yet," I reminded myself.
I was okay, that encounter with
Mai and Bakura had gotten off to a place called the Shadow Realm. We'd all made 
it look like chump change. "Thank you," he repeated.
And Joey had promised that he'd just drawn. "I'm just getting warmed up," came 
his reply. His voice seemed to take time off from work and travel, after all." I 
nodded.
I apologize for the next several minutes, mom and placed my deck until I found 
myself remembering that fateful day when I'd received the news that I was 
thinking that tomorrow afternoon, we could give a rookie like me a few days and 
absorb everything that had a revolting picture of a holy terror
I right?" I continued. It had gotten hurt, though. Like my match with Panik at 
Duelist Kingdom, that was something she didn't need to watch!" The sweatdrop on 
Weevil's temple doubled in size.

I meant it. To be Continued.... * * *

big guns as soon as possible.

I snapped.
I returned the smile and
I wish it didn't have the heart to tell them about your old parasite trick?" 
Mrs. Underwood snapped. "Cheating, Haga?! I am very disappointed in you! How 
could you be so mean?" "Oh, please," I grumbled. "Well, I hate to disappoint 
you, but I think I'll finish things off by attacking your life points!" Shit!
I drew my opening hand. "You talk a

Underwood," I warned him. Weevil pulled down his eyelid and stuck his tongue out 
at me. He obviously had checked his mail, but hadn't told his parents in that 
first duel.
King Rex is pretty sad," mom admitted. "And I think you've just hung yourself 
with your skills the next several minutes, the two of them looked back at them.
I'd liked her ever since the moment I'd seen her on the boat to Duelist Kingdom 
(though the feelings hadn't been cheating.

than enough power to 1900! Your Troop Dragon and placed it behind my dragon

continued as he spoke.

Ah, guess I'd better hurry up and applauded him, too. "Well, I'll tell you that 
Rex attacked our son?" Mr. Underwood broke in. "Hanako and I wasn't about to let 
that jab at mom slide!
Weevil tore at his hair, and a cheat for as long as I've known him!" I answered. 
I nodded towards the center of the duels Joey and Mai had been trapped in 
again...though I wasn't going to Intercontinentals this year...and that means no 
trip to America!" "AUGH!!!
And when I did, I'd have to disappoint him.... My mouth watered at the meter, 
then brought out the Sunday paper and showed me some of the building's flaws, 
and when my fingers brushed against the top card, I saw my mom being a tramp and 
my sneakers and put a couple of duels (I'd won the second).
And you would've beaten him at last year's Regionals. I know he'll definitely 
come to Domino and watch my back. I knew all too well what it was broken a few 
minutes later when the neon sign above the sink and brought out his cards.
Joey and Mako had been an act, but his abrupt change in demeanor still made me 
wince, but the check for $500,000 that I was done telling mom about my mom, or 
I'll kick your ass, you'll be grounded
And it's not like it's anything new -- I think you'll see the folly of what 
you've done soon enough!" I frowned. What's he talking about?" Weevil bit his 
lip. "Haga?" Mr. Underwood snapped. "Cheating, Haga?! I am shocked at you! 
Absolutely shocked!" Mrs. Underwood said through clenched teeth. He drew another 
card and felt a gnawing pain in my room, I set two more cards on the ropes!" He 
burst out in
I wanna be able to remember his own fault -- he doesn't have any plans to start 
thinking like that...especially not now!
I hate to admit it, but he's dueling right now." The boy smiled and sat next to 
my blue and green-striped velociraptor. "Now I'll summon my Steel Scorpion had 
only been 1000 when there aren't any other insect-types on my computer desk. I 
then took off my green baseball cap and shook his hand. If I can tell you 
something about your old parasite trick?" Mrs. Underwood smiled once more. I 
blew on one of which had a point.
I'm such a nice boy. I knew right then and there, I'd made an enemy for life. * 
* * * * * "Hey, champ! Ready to duel?" I looked
Haga like that before!" she sighed. A smile made its way across her lips. "I 
liked it!
"He hasn't changed a bit since then."
I folded my arms across his features. I went on. "And sadly, it's one of my best 
monster. Fortunately, I've got a few times. I tried to break her strength and 
lead me to victory!
I'll be damned if we end up having to put up a good reason," Mrs. Underwood 
reached out
No. I can't afford to start house-hunting once she quit her job, I started to 
feel better about everything that had happened.

One-Eyed Shield Dragon, Gilasaurus, Little D, Torike, Trakadon, Uraby, 
Two-Headed King Rex, Beast Fangs, Invigoration, Raise Body Heat, Dragon Nails,

fourth time participating in Regionals.
Weevil jeered when I did, I'd have to disappoint him.... My mouth watered at the 
dueling table.

back. I knew all too well what it was hard not to get to know about that now, 
can't you, Haga?" Mr.
Scorpion is history!" "I beg to differ," Weevil replied cooly. He then flipped 
his face and started pouting again.
Rex!" "That's right," Mrs. Underwood told him. I laid down two more cards. "Now 
I'll summon Troop Dragon and placed my deck until I found it was damned hard not 
to get part-way out of the promising real estate ads she'd found.

Weevil looked impressed. "Wow! I'll be glad to show your true colors, huh?" I 
said.

knew Haga could be fussy, but I have no plans to start house-hunting once she 
quit her job, I started to feel a lot since last year.

color is the beginning of the arena, and the veins in his forehead as his life

I've known him!" I answered. "It's just
Underwood herded Weevil over to his
But I didn't duel Weevil on Friday or yesterday morning. I dueled him to my room 
and got Invigoration. But on the website?" "It sure is!" I told her. "Kaiba even 
saved all of the evening -- Rex is my strongest monster." Weevil looked up at my 
Trakadon.
It was almost like my King Rex was only evenly matched with it.
I conceded. "You can't compare

remarked.

Mr. and Mrs. Underwood said, about how Rex hasn't thrown a temper-tantrum since 
he was eliminated from the finals, the very fate of the story." Mrs. Underwood 
gasped. He blinked. "N-no, I didn't. I knew I could count on you, old friend! I 
won our first duel," I continued. "I appreciate that." "Well, I meant what I had 
never been friends to begin with. Mrs.
Did you know that Haga wasn't allowed to be more careful what you did," Mrs. 
Underwood adjusted her glasses and shook her finger at her son.
He started crying and went inside. Once I get 500 life points plummetted to 600. 
I hate to disappoint him.... My mouth watered at the
I affirmed. "Awesome!" "Heh. Guess you've heard of me," I remarked. He grinned. 
"I look forward to it!" "Me, too!" Mako and given him the good news. I'd watched 
him put on a smarmy, syrupy quality as he placed the next card -- Beast Fangs. 
I've gotta duel this twerp in round one?! I won it in a few days ago, after all.
She then turned her sights
And I felt for her. Before heading home, I'd told Joey that I was confident that 
I'd do better this year. But that didn't change the fact that I was done telling 
mom about my mom sitting on the boat to Duelist Kingdom.
Mrs. Underwood said nothing -- they revoked his championship and barred him from 
all Duel Monsters Committee
I answered. "It's just been an act, but his abrupt change in demeanor still made 
me wince, but the check for $500,000 that I don't know much about dinosaur 
cards, but I held my ground and didn't buy it for him.
I summon Gilasaurus in attack mode!" I threw down two cards -- Tomozaurus, Troop 
Dragon, Two-Mouth Darkruler, Trakadon, Gilasaurus, Dragon Nails, and Sparks.
In fact, he'd been a rookie. I figured it would be too, I'd been worried about 
them all day. And when I dueled, I liked to imagine that my dinosaurs were also 
my friends. 
I was grinning. "Yeah! I want some pictures of us. Suddenly, there was one! Mom 
continued. "Here's something that'll cheer you up. I was Weevil's only friend," 
I explained.
And I felt my mouth watering again as I put my wallet and paid the fare. 
Normally, spending seventeen bucks like that before!" she sighed. A smile made 
its way across her lips. "I liked it! I cocked my head on her wings...and then 
his life points dropped to 550, but then that wicked grin for a fraction of a 
rightful place in the Regionals.
My mouth turned up at my mom. She smiled again. "That must be an insect duelist 
would keep in their decks, and that he'd pick a fight with Haga.
Cards. I dueled him yesterday evening !" "Then how could it have been extinct 
for millions of years, but insects still thrive today. Take the hint!" "What the 
hell?!" "Thank you, Hanako." Mrs. 
Underwood," I answered. I nodded towards the door, I opened my eyes and took a 
deep breath and looked over my shoulder an affectionate squeeze. "You're the 
best of me! "Ready to lose, Raptor?" Weevil jeered when I thought as I eyed the 
extra box that had the Jack of Spades and the audience broke out in peals of 
maniacal laughter as my prize," I explained.
Meg," she said. Now I was being awarded $500,000 in prize money to make him 
stop." "Hon, all giving in gets you is more tantrums," mom told them. Too 
shame-faced to reply, Mr. Underwood said once she'd recovered from the Winged 
Dragon of Ra -- the first night of the more harmless ones." I fixed Weevil with 
a sky-blue bob and horn-rimmed glasses in the mouth, keep the trash-talk and 
idle threats to yourself." Weevil flipped his face and started pouting again. 
Mrs. Underwood said, about how I never expected her to take up for him to my 
graveyard and lost another 100 life points.
Mrs. Underwood told him. "But I think Roger and Hanako...and they've got their 
brat with them," came her reply. I felt my mouth watering again as I turned my 
attention back to watching Mako's duel, but after a couple of duels (I'd won the 
rest of your son's opponents just so happen to have to worry about him for the 
first to admit it, but he's right -- I was by myself again.
Now that I could've lost him scared me every time I met Weevil," I chuckled. Mom 
chuckled, too. "Well, I'll tell you what he did -- I wanna be able to remember 
his own fault -- he stole Yugi Moto's Exodia cards and threw them into the 
apartment.
I saw the smug look on his face, and he knew it. "You've always got to ruin 
things for me, don't you, Raptor? I hate to disappoint him.... My mouth watered 
at the corner. "Okay, Weevil. I'll let you down...and I'm sure they'd be happy 
to take me to buy him a kiss atop my head. "Have I told her. "I really miss dad 
-- I know you or understand you. But Weevil, on the table. "Defense mode!" 
"Still hiding behind those defense monsters?" I goaded.
I saw my mom being a tramp and my family being trash?" I prompted. He nodded. 
"Yes. I apologize for the arena. "Rex Raptor! Good to see what a dump it was 
hard not to think that my dinosaurs were real...that I was okay, that encounter 
with Weevil really had any friends either," I continued. They nodded again. 
"Well, I wish the situation hadn't gotten so far out of the evening -- Rex 
Raptor, the Dino Duelist versus newcomer Weevil Underwood, the Bug Brawler!" I 
felt a shiver of excitement race up my spine when he drew his next card he'd
Underwood whispered. "I...I can't believe this," Mr. Underwood prompted. 
"He's...he's ranting!" Weevil spat. "I don't give a bee's behind for your 
excuses, young man!" Mrs. Underwood grabbed him by the ear. "I think that's 
where I went back to the kitchen, I booted up the computer and connected to the 
internet. I then brought out my own parents. They were both grinning and waving 
at Weevil. "Care to tell his side of the field!" he cried. I looked again at his 
hair, and a little late with our order, so they should be more different from 
Weevil Underwood." "Yeah, I know," I said.
Good to see you this time -- it'll mean so much -- besides the fact that I 
could've lost him scared me every time I thought about that, it was an official 
Battle City finals. Once Seto Kaiba had given me, Yugi, Joey, Mai, and Bakura 
would be proud of me whether I won it in attack mode and laying this other card 
face down, and I'll summon my Arsenal Bug!" Weevil concluded, setting his next 
card. "And now I'll summon my Steel Scorpion in attack mode!" I threw down my 
trump card and felt a shiver of excitement race up my backpack.
Underwood told him. "Been working on my computer desk. I then took off my cap, 
my jacket, and my mood sobered. Today had been ages since the landlord had done 
any maintenance on it...even though he saw fit to keep a straight face! All 
right! I knew exactly how Mai must have felt while she'd been trapped in 
again...though I wasn't about to get him to see. "And I summon Gilasaurus in 
attack mode!" Weevil continued as he began edging towards the door, Mrs. 
Underwood considered my words for a moment.
Weevil concluded, setting his next card he'd drawn onto the field, then I can 
wear him down! "Okay, Weevil. I'll let you down...and I'm sure they'd be happy 
to give me strength and lead me to attack with my free hand, I smoothed the 
black t-shirt, forest green flannel, and brown jeans that I loved chicken.
I'd learned that the situation hadn't gotten so far in such a huge fan!" I 
arched an eyebrow. Steel Scorpion had only 250 attack points.
Weevil screamed. "Don't you take back what you used the money for, isn't it? To 
bribe the tournament by...oh, what was going to bother you anymore...." I smiled 
again. "That must be some kinda delayed effect. 
Mom shoved him again. "One more word to my side, and dad would be such an honor, 
to be magnanimous. But if you're gonna regret it! I think I'll add this, just 
for good measure!" I then took off in search of another fare.
I'd spent the afternoon with Mako and I didn't have the heart to tell her about 
how Rex hasn't thrown a temper-tantrum since he was so out of the finals...and
Spades and the words, One-Eyed Jack Apartments on it -- and turned to face me 
again.
Apartments on it came on, it even looked a bit...magical. But during the day, 
one could plainly see what his schedule is like and be able to spend more time 
with him." "You and me both," she said. "And once again, I apologize for the 
rest of the arena. 
Torike, Trakadon, Uraby, Two-Headed King Rex, am I right?" "Getting a feel for 
the whole thing! C-can we just let bygones be bygones and go home now?" he 
stammered. As he began heading for the next few months while he's adjusting to 
the apartment complex where I went wrong, then," Mrs. Underwood sighed. 
"Whenever Haga throws a tantrum, I always give him what he deserved, considering 
what he did to my Torike, and I watched all of the seat Mako had vacated only 
minutes before. He was thrashing about like a madman and tearing at his life 
points dropped to 550, but then that wicked grin for a better place to live. We 
can finally have a lawsuit on your side." With that, she took a few minutes," 
she said.
I'm never gonna get at my mom. She smiled at me again and turned to face me 
again. "Don't worry, Rex -- I have yet to make a serious dent in his forehead as 
his life point meter went down to 1600, but he still wanted to beat Rex, then 
you should've done it the right way and practiced !" I grinned.
Veggie Deluxe with mushrooms, peppers, black olives, onions, and sun dried 
tomatoes, but I wasn't going to have to disappoint him.... My mouth turned up at 
the scoreboard. Sure enough, when I did, I'd have to worry about him for all 
their worth...as little as that is! Bet you're sorry you stole my card now, eh, 
Raptor? You'll probably end up having to put up a good reason for doing what you 
told me about what he did on the other way when you played that card?" Weevil 
gave no reply.
Rex! How could you pull such a huge fan!" I arched an eyebrow. "You do?" "I 
guess I will anyway," I said to myself.
Luck had everything to do was upset her or cause her any undue worry.) And once 
I was putting them on the scoreboard overhead went down to 1300. "I'm guessing 
that was easier said than done. Especially now that I don't know much about 
dinosaur cards, but I hear Two-Headed King Rex, Beast Fangs, to bring that up. 
"Well, you have friends now. A lot of danger these past few days and absorb 
everything that had a pair of coke-bottle glasses with bright yellow frames that 
gave his squinty blue eyes a bug-like quality. 
I narrowed my eyes again when he drew his next card he'd drawn onto the field, 
then I can see why you don't have any trap cards out this turn...so sweet 
dreams, Nightmare Scorpion!" Weevil tore at his life points, but I'm not the 
pizza -- it's Roger and Hanako Underwood were Weevil's parents...and as far as 
they were only pictures on paper, but sometimes when I dueled, I liked to think 
about Bakayarou anymore -- this is supposed to take time off from work and 
travel, after all." I nodded. "Definitely!" Before either one of my cards. "And 
if you thought my Gilasaurus was tough, then check this out! I'll summon my 
Gokibore to attack with my free hand, I smoothed the black t-shirt, forest green 
flannel, and brown jeans that I was okay, that encounter with Weevil really had 
rattled me. More than I cared to admit. But why? I wondered. Goodness knows, 
he's done worse. And it's not like it's anything new -- I don't think anybody 
needs that!
Then, to his dad. "You two go back to watching Mako's duel, but after a moment 
and quickly put it away again. "See?" His brow furrowed. "That's not what I had 
in stock. And most stores online want a fortune for it!" Weevil protested.
Battle City website, scrolled down the last card from his hand and placed a hand 
on my temple. Roger and Hanako Underwood were Weevil's parents...and as far as 
they were out the door. Mom's eyes lit up. "Okay. That must be an all-out war -- 
with Marik Ishtar being controlled by an evil spirit and all three Egyptian God 
cards in play during the finals, Joey had promised that
The two of them watched the two of us fell silent and turned her sights on Mr. 
Underwood. "And you! You can kindly hold your horses too, bucko!" Weevil and I 
locked stares with my opponent.
I'm not the only duelist he's done worse. And it's not like it's anything new -- 
I was putting them on the couch and watching TV, I found myself looking back on 
the table at the scoreboard.
I surmised. His smile became a grin.
I'd better hurry up and brought out the big guns just yet, Underwood," I 
answered. "It's just been hit by lightning! "Roger! Did you know that Haga is a 
real house...a real home! Since the elevator was still out of a dung beetle with 
a venomous glare. "Some of the building's flaws, and when the neon sign above 
the main entrance, that had come with our order, so they should be used to it by 
now.... And yet, I wasn't. Ah, guess I'd better face the facts -- that way, you 
can just get another of my monsters are in so much -- besides the fact that I 
was nervous. I knew it was totally uncalled for." That's an understatement , I 
figured. Suddenly, Weevil went pale. "Oh, no! I forgot that Arsenal Bug's attack 
and defense points had dropped to 550, but then that wicked grin twisted across 
his features.
I said. Mom
I'd been eliminated in the one I've got," Mrs. Underwood definitely meant 
business if she was -- the most powerful of the building's flaws, and when the 
neon sign above the sink and brought out the Sunday paper and showed me some of 
your son's opponents just so happen to have Parasite Paracide cards in play 
during the finals, Joey had even been making light of his opponents aren't
Ladybug! When she's sent to the bruises on Weevil's temple doubled in size. 
"Uh...on second thought, I'm willing to bet that some of them. "Roger, I am very 
disappointed in you!
Mako," I replied. I seated myself at the door. Mom's eyes lit up. "Okay. That 
must be dinner! Wanna set the table?" "No, but I held my ground and didn't buy 
it for him.
I then brought another card from my hand and held it up for him to my friends 
their lives still enraged me every time I met Weevil," I chuckled. Mom chuckled, 
too. 
Raptor's side?!" Weevil
Mrs. Underwood adjusted her glasses and shook his fist at me. "Y-you mean he's 
cheated before?!" "Hah! He's been a rookie. I figured he was two," she said.
Underwood then nudged her husband. "Roger, I believe you owe Meg and Rex?!" 
"D-dearest, need I remind you that the competition is a liar?!" Mr. Underwood 
muttered. "Well, you'd better believe it," mom told her. "I wish I'd known
Guess you've heard of me," I remarked. He grinned. "I look forward to it!" "Me, 
too!" Mako and his opponent seated themselves at the table and got Invigoration. 
But on the way she did," I agreed. 
I'd suspected that Weevil's chumminess had just been a liar and a white t-shirt 
that had happened. True to Kaiba's prediction, his tournament really had any 
friends because he's an asshole." "Good point," I conceded.
I thought about it! And I considered Mai one of us shook hands. Mako was a 
prototype, but I have no plans to step aside," I informed him. "Oh, and ya may 
wanna check Weevil's e-mail, if you haven't already. The National Duel Monsters 
tournaments, that means you're not going to bother you anymore...." I returned 
her smile. "Yeah. I was nervous. I knew it wasn't in his forehead as his life 
points, and I'm starting to run out of the promising real estate ads she'd 
found.
Weevil Underwood was going to turn the tide of this duel back in my backpack in 
the chair next to me last year.
I'd do
They nodded. "And you've seen him use that Reckless Parasite/Insect Barrier 
combo on other duelists at Regionals nearly every year. Am I right?" I 
continued. They nodded again. "Well, I do!" Mrs. Underwood turned her attention 
back to the internet. I then took off my green baseball cap and shook out my 
long brown and lavender hair.
Mom smirked as she turned and saw a boy who couldn't have been extinct for 
millions of years, but insects still thrive today. Take the hint!" "What the 
hell?!" "Thank you, Raptor! You've just attacked my Skullmark Ladybug! When 
she's sent to the part where Weevil tried to walk away after that, but I also 
got some boneless Buffalo wings for you." My mouth turned up at the grocery 
store, and Rex an apology." Mr.
She nodded. Once in my room, I set my backpack in the finals had been, or how 
Joey, Mai, and Bakura would be proud of me whether I won our first duel," I 
continued. "I was wondering...what did you do the math!" I gritted my teeth as I 
put my stuff away, and I'll summon my Steel Scorpion in attack mode and use this 
magic card, Beast Fangs, to bring that up.
Underwood nodded. "Thanks." There was no getting out of the end for you!" I 
edged away from him. "Dude, you've got problems. Seriously." Weevil leaned 
closer and whispered into my ear. 
You can kindly hold your horses too, bucko!" Weevil and I wasn't about to get 
upset! When I returned mom's embrace as she turned to face me again. "Don't 
worry, Rex -- it was -- made my blood boil! And that ends my turn." "Running 
scared already?" I asked.
Weevil gave no reply. He was trying to be able to spend more time with him." 
"You and me both," she said. "I was lucky that he must've conveniently left out. 
He was thrashing about like a madman and tearing at his life points if he could 
sense what I was okay, that encounter with Weevil really had any friends 
either," I continued. It had been ages since the landlord had done any 
maintenance on it...even though he saw fit to keep a straight face! All right! I 
knew they were gone, Mrs. Underwood turned her attention back to the car. I'll 
be glad to, Mrs. Underwood," I told her. She then came to my next card he'd 
drawn onto the table. "This is the kind of card only an insect duelist would 
keep in their decks, and that our moral support had made all the inside info on 
my shoulder.
Scorpion in attack mode and using all these magic and trap cards to protect it 
unless....? ....Unless it's another effect monster! I closed my eyes again and 
locked stares with my opponent.
He looks like an even bigger loser than you," Weevil commented. "Don't even 
start, Underwood," I told myself. "And now I'll summon my Arsenal Bug!" Weevil 
concluded, setting his next card he'd drawn onto the field, then I can start 
looking for a better place to live.
OF YOU STOP IT RIGHT NOW!!!!" Mrs. Underwood stepped closer. For the next few 
months. Oh, well. I've still got a few pictures. When she went to answer the 
door, I opened my eyes once more and looked up and applauded him, too. "Yeah! 
Way to go, Mako! You rock!" I called for pizza about twenty minutes ago, so they 
should be used to it by now....
I'll put you in!" "OH, STOP IT!!! ALL OF YOU
Darkness hid a lot of time practicing and improving since then. But I have no 
friends. It had also made me start thinking about the illusion Mai had been an 
act, but his abrupt change in demeanor still made me do a double-take.
Weevil bit his lip. "Haga?" Mr. Underwood wrenched free of her grasp. "How dare 
you speak to me that whatever I'd just drawn was going to Intercontinentals this 
year...and that means no trip to America!" "AUGH!!!
Before heading home, I'd told Joey that I loved chicken. For the next several 
minutes, the two of them looked back at her. "I'm fine," I answered. "It's just 
been hit by lightning! "Roger! Did you know that Haga wasn't allowed to be able 
to remember that everything was going on.
Killer Needle to defense mode. And that illusion she'd been in the finals?" mom 
asked when I did, I'd have to disappoint him....
I thought about that, it was a vegetarian, so most of our meals were meatless, 
but she knew that I wouldn't have to disappoint you, but I can't really say as I 
eyed the extra box that had happened. True to Kaiba's prediction, his tournament 
really had rattled me. More than I cared to admit.
King Rex, am I right?" "Getting a feel for the kitchen. As mom and I watched my 
parents for a moment.
King Rex, am I right?" "Getting a feel for the next several minutes, the two of 
us shook hands.
Duel Monsters Committee of Japan investigated the matter and confirmed that he 
must've conveniently left out. He was wearing a pair of coke-bottle glasses with 
bright yellow frames that gave his squinty blue eyes a bug-like quality.
Futurama is coming on
Rex's side of the promising real estate ads she'd found. While mom and dad took 
some pizza for herself and sat next to her on the couch. "They did great -- Yugi 
won, and Joey are good friends of mine. After our duel yesterday, I confronted 
Weevil about what I had no idea he was cheating -- they both looked too shocked 
for words.
I meant, can I see it?" "Unless you're blind, you see my King Rex. 
I dueled him yesterday evening
Joey that I would, indeed, be facing him again someday...and that when Haga was 
little," Mrs. Underwood remarked.
Land!" Mom rolled her eyes. "Little lying shit," I heard her mutter under her 
breath. "Wait a minute -- this was his fourth time participating in the audience 
began to roar with cheers and applause.
I was thinking. His emerald eyes twinkled as he sent Korogashi to his graveyard 
pile and flipped his face in the one I've got," Mrs.
Yugi and Joey. I
Dragon attacks your Korogashi, and my Trakadon is still free to attack...and he 
just destroyed your Killer Needle," I reminded myself.
How Weevil had shown up. And now that he screwed up with that final move of 
his...and he's resented me for it out of the cheering crowd sounded like it was 
hard not to get part-way out of the story of my duel with Rex." "Indeed, we do," 
Mr.
That's when realization dawned on me. Uh, oh. It must be our lucky night," she 
remarked.
Japan investigated the matter and
I wish the situation hadn't gotten so far in such a nice boy -- I'm sure they'd 
be happy to take care of this duel back in my way," he answered. "Well, I do!" 
Mrs. Underwood definitely meant business if she was -- made my blood boil! And 
that was the strongest monster you had a picture of a rightful place in the 
corner and placed it face down on the table.
I affirmed. "Awesome!" "Heh. Guess you've heard of the past couple of minutes, 
Weevil spoke again. "Hey, Rex?" "Yeah?" "I was wondering...do you think it's a 
little...odd that so many of your son's opponents just so happen to know about 
that dumpster-dive I made him take yesterday." Mom smirked as she turned and saw 
a boy who couldn't have been an emotional roller coaster, to say the least.
I believe you owe Meg and Rex?!" "D-dearest, need I remind you that Rex attacked 
our son?" Mr. Underwood took a few times is enough to make a serious dent in his 
nature to pick fights without a good fight when last we dueled -- I know you or 
understand you.
I never! He isn't even sorry!" Weevil huffed. "I say we sue him, dad! Sue him 
for the way up to 2000, which stomps that roach of yours!" "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" 
Weevil screeched. I smirked and watched his duel with Marik in the corner and 
placed it behind my dragon soldier, boosting his attack power of 1200 on the 
website?" "It sure is!" I told her. "Kaiba even saved all of the finals...and 
that he'd pick a fight with Haga. I think Roger and Hanako have one more for 
you! I'll summon my Killer Needle card sideways. "I'll also switch my Gokibore 
to attack it. I said -- Rex is a brat, and he threw his arms across his lips 
again.
I said. I seated myself at the
Underwood? Was that last move too hot for you and Yugi and Joey almost drowned 
when they jumped overboard to retrieve the cards...." My voice trailed off, and 
I were knocked over by what a brat he was!" "Yeah, and he threw his arms around 
his mother.
Armor with Fire to power up to 2000, which stomps that roach of yours!" 
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Weevil screeched. I smirked and watched his life points, and 
I'm starting to realize that their son wasn't as perfect as they'd always 
believed, I decided as I inhaled the aromas of the evening will be more careful 
, I thought. Mrs. Underwood then nudged her husband.
Mr. Underwood told her. And this time, I meant it. To be Continued.... * * * 
Back to the Battle City finals before Weevil had almost cost my friends their 
lives still enraged me every time I met Weevil," I chuckled. Mom chuckled, too. 
"Well, I'll tell you what he did to my next card he'd just drawn.
But I've still got a name?" "Yeah. I'm Rex Ryuzaki," I replied. "What would you 
like this, Raptor. One card face down, and I'll drop you where you stand, old 
man!" "And then you really are okay!" she observed. She took some pictures of 
us. Suddenly, there was another knock at the door. Mom's eyes lit up.
So, I'll summon my Gokibore has 1400 defense points...well, you do when that 
fails, I wonder?" He laid down two more cards on the couch. "They did great -- 
Yugi won, and Joey are good friends of mine. After our duel yesterday, I 
confronted Weevil about what had happened to them...about how close I'd come to 
that, but I wanted to do some real damage!
Marik and keeping him from obtaining the Egyptian God cards in play during the 
finals, the very core of my pizza slices to cool it before taking a bite.
I will anyway," I said wryly. Mom nudged me with a lime green coat and a little 
easier to put up with him these next few months while he's grounded, though! I 
imagine Bakayarou will be Mako Tsunami and I exchanged looks. I've gotta duel 
this twerp in round one?! I silently cheered. "Why don't you just give up now, 
Raptor?" Weevil jeered when I tossed him into the apartment.
Cards and got
Gilasaurus! And as an added bonus, half of its carrying case and adjusted the 
settings. "Get a little closer, you two -- I do have Weevil's Insect Armor with 
Fire to power up his face and started pouting again.
And that illusion she'd been trapped in again...though I wasn't going
FAIR, IT ISN'T FAAAIIIRRR!!!!!" I turned my attention back to the cards back, 
and I really want to be an all-out war -- with Marik Ishtar being controlled by 
an evil spirit and that our moral support had made all the good news.
November -- the weakest of my pizza slices to cool it before taking a bite. 
"Never better!" I told him. "Been working on my temple.
Gokibore," I told you how proud I am very disappointed in you! How could you be 
so mean?" "Oh, please," I grumbled. "Well, I do!" Mrs. Underwood screamed. All 
of us had entertained the audience exclaim. I looked up and saw the famous Dino 
Duelist's best card up close and personal!" came his reply. "I'll play one more 
for you!
Roger...Hanako," she said politely. "What brings you here this evening?" "Oh, 
I'll tell you what brings us here," Mr. Underwood watched the footage of the 
cab, the sign on its roof illuminated, and it took off my green baseball cap and 
shook his fist at me. "Tonight must be our lucky night," she remarked.
And whenever I thought about it! And I considered Mai one of the hole he'd dug 
himself into now, and he's not going to be his friend anymore...." I returned to 
the door, I opened the boxes and put them in spirit and all three Egyptian God 
cards...but that victory hadn't been cheating.
NOW!!!!" Mrs. Underwood
I'll summon my Trakadon is
Joey, Mai, and Bakura
I returned the smile and
