"You gotta be kidding me!!" Lizzy yelled, looking around quickly. "Did he just leave?! Come back here and fight!"

"It seems like he's just testing your skills," Akiza noted. "But why would he just leave during a battle?"

"Yeah, I've never seen a bad guy do something like that," Leo agreed. "That's weird." Lizzy groaned and said,

"If he comes back and does harm one more time, he will definitely pay!"

"But for now, let's just go home," Dylan said with a sweatdrop. "He won't be back for awhile."

"I think we should too," William began, "but..." He turned to little Jack, Yusei, and Crow, who were staring at the warehouse. Aaliyah knelt down near the three and asked,

"What are you guys doing?"

"That place," little Jack began, pointing at the warehouse, "Can we go inside and see it?"

"Well if you want to, I don't see why not!" She turned to everyone else to get their opinion and they nodded in agreement. They thought it was time for the three to know where they lived before this incident. The young boys ran into the warehouse with everyone else following slowly.

"Are you guys sure that this is a good idea?" Ryan asked the group.

"It'll be okay," Keiza reassured. "I don't think they'll mind it, as long as they don't break anything."

"Speaking of which, let's go see if they indeed broke something," James announced, walking to the warehouse door quickly. He opened the door and heard laughter in the huge gray room. He hurried to the three kids and noticed that they were playing on their individual Duel runners, pretending to be Turbo Duelists. James laughed quite a bit and beckoned everyone else to come into the room. The group did and watched in amazement as the three boys played.

"Should we tell them that they're playing on their runners?" Keiza whispered to everyone.

"No," Lizzy answered. "They would probably stop playing."

"And that's bad?"

"Yes because they look so adorable!"

".....that's kind of true." The guys in the room sighed, some of them even facepalmed. Lizzy giggled with a smile, still watching the kids play. The others looked around the warehouse and saw that it was a bit worn down, besides the runners itself. William decided to lay down on the couch that was near the stairs and sighed.

"Man, this brings so many memories," he said with a smile.

"You mean you've been here before?" little Crow questioned.

"Yeah! It was a lot of fun."

"Honestly, I've only been here a few times," Lizzy admitted. "And that was only because of a few errands. But now I'm gonna have a good excuse to come here more often."

"Cool!" little Crow grinned. He continued to play on the runner, not knowing that it's his, with a playful smile. The entire group was silent for awhile, watching the three play around. They didn't know what else to do so they resorted to doing nothing. Aaliyah looked around a bit and saw that a computer was on a desk. She went over to the desk and saw a picture beside the computer. She picked it up and smiled, seeing everyone that she knew in the frame. William went over to her and asked,

"Whatcha looking at, Ali?"

"A picture of all of us," Aaliyah answered, holding it to him.

"Oh wow, there we are! I actually don't remember this."

"What are you two doing?" Akiza said. Aaliyah and William showed her the pic and she laughed. "I remember this! This was after a tournament our team won."

"Wait, I remember now!" William realized. "We were screaming like crazy for you guys to win."

"Yeah, you were screaming the most," Ryan said with a tease.

"Shut up!" The entire group laughed at William's quick comment. The three young boys got off of the runners and ran around the warehouse for fun, until they came across a small picture of their grown selves. Their little eyes widened and they looked at the others, and then at the picture again.

"Was that us?" little Yusei said in shock.

"I have a lot of Markers," little Crow noted.

"I look cool," little Jack said with a smile.

"No, you don't! You look funny."

"I don't look funny!"

"Yes you do!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"Well, I think you all look funny!" Lizzy exclaimed, standing right behind them. The kids turned to her and laughed. "So what do you think of yourselves in that pic?"

"We are waaaaaay bigger in that photo!" little Crow shouted. "Is that actually us?"

"Yeah! That's what you three looked like when the others and I first met you."

"Whoa," the kids said in awe. Lizzy chuckled and kept staring at the photo, still wondering what to do next. She stared up at the ceiling and her mind turned blank until she heard someone yelling her name. Lizzy snapped back into reality and saw the three kids staring at her intently.

"What's wrong, little friends?" she asked curiously.

"We can turn back to normal now, right?" little Jack said.

"Of course! I got the antidote ready so you three are good to go. But the real question is if you want to return to your normal selves."

"I want to!" little Yusei said.

"So do I," little Jack agreed with a smile.

"Me too!" little Crow grinned.

"Wow!" Lizzy said with widened eyes. "Why do you all want to turn back so soon?"

"So that everything can go back to the way it was," one of three answered.

"Oh, I don't think things will ever be the same. We've grown pretty close to you three this past month and a half, and that's impressive considering my friends and I have been in your company for almost seven months now. But I wouldn't change anything, not one bit."

"Even though it was clearly an accident?" Leo noted to Lizzy, listening to the conversation. "Why would you say that you wouldn't change a thing?"

"Because I've seen something in a different perspective," Lizzy explained, "and when you see it and been through it in a way you've never thought would be possible, it changes your mind and heart. It reminds me of why my friends and I are still here: to see the world in ways we could have never seen if we were in Yuina. I'm more content being here, learning about the people and seeing them live, than being home. What a strange feeling.."

"That's why it's an adventure, Lizzy!" Keiza smiled. "Whatever happens in an adventure can change you for the rest of your life. I honestly don't mind being here either."

"Same here!" William exclaimed. "This has been a blast. I wouldn't have had it any other way."

"You guys are being too nice," Akiza smiled with tearful eyes. "But I think it's time for one of our adventures to end." The group agreed, and prepared themselves to get Yusei, Crow, and Jack back to normal.

Thanks for reading the chapter and I hope to see you in the next one! :)
