Jaden and Yusei ran down the stairs, trying to find Lizzy because she didn't answer her phone for an hour.

"Lizzy, where are you?" Jaden called out, looking around for her.

"Jaden, she's not here," Yusei stated. "She's probably in her apartment."

"Then why hasn't she answered her phone then?"

"Maybe she's asleep? But then again, she rarely takes naps so I would find that hard to believe."

"Yeah..." Jaden sighed and he glanced around again to see if Lizzy was anywhere in sight, but his hopes were in vain because he didn't find her. However, he did spot two figures in the distance coming out of another apartment. They seemed a bit familiar to Jaden, so he called out to them. "Excuse me!" The two people turned to the boy, and he gasped. "Aren't you the guys from the Duel Monsters tournament last year?! I forgot your names though."

"I'm Joey!" he said with a grin. "And this is Yugi."

"Hi!" Yugi waved. "Yeah, we were at the tournament. You two were as well, right?"

"We sure were!" Jaden said, putting his hands on his hips. "But we didn't get the chance to play in the tournament. It was fun to be there though. I loved the shrimp."

"He ate almost all of the shrimp," Yusei stated plainly. "One of our friends and I had to drag him away from the stand so that he wouldn't eat everything."

"I've heard about that!" Joey remembered. "That was you guys?!"

"Unfortunately yes."

"Hey, shrimp is good!" Jaden protested with a huff. "It brings friends together."

"I thought Duel Monsters and other games bring people together," Yugi said with a sweatdrop.

"There's that too! Speaking of which, you wouldn't happen to have seen one of our friends here, have you? She has black hair and brown eyes."

"Yes," Yugi and Joey replied in unison. They most definitely saw her.

"Do you know where she is?" Yusei asked.

"Oh, she's in our apartment," Yugi replied. "We heard some crashes from outside of our living room so we went to see what it was, and we found her on the ground. We think she feel down the stairs."

"Not again!!" Jaden yelled. He started to run towards Yugi and Joey, exclaiming, "We're coming, Lizzy!" Yusei's eyes widened and he ran after Jaden.

"Jaden, wait!" he yelled. "You'll stampede the other two guys, and they live in that apartment!"

"Get out of the way, Yugi!" Joey announced, as he got out of the way of the running Jaden. Yugi got out of the way as fast as he could as Jaden went into the apartment and slam the door behind him. "Oh by the way, we got boxes in there!" But it was too late because they heard Jaden yelp, along with a few boxes crashing to the ground.

"Sorry about him," Yusei apologized. "He gets concerned for other people easily."

"How long has he known that girl?" Joey asked.

"Jaden said since middle school, so quite a few years."

"Huh....that's friendship to the max right there."

That's the end of the chapter, or at least part of a chapter. The chapter are coming out in parts, which I think is a good idea because it makes it easier for anyone to read. What do you guys think of that set up?

Anyway, thanks for reading and enjoy the next part! :)
