"Well ... you wanted to talk to me ... but about what?", Yugi asked when the two were seated. The other three had sat at a different table and Tea kept glaring at Danny. "I wanted to ask you if you can still remember me," she nods and looks deep into his eyes.
"What are the two of them so important to discuss?", Tea hissed and her eyes wandered suspiciously between Yugi and Danny. "Tea, stay calm!" Said the blonde and sipped at his milkshake.
"Know you? What do you mean?" He asked uncertainly and remembered the dream he had had that night. She sighed and got up. "Maybe it was a mistake to come back after all.", She mumbled and was about to leave when Yugi grabbed her hand and held it. "No ... wait! I have a clue what you mean, but please ... stay." His voice was a pleading to which she couldn't say 'no'. So Danny dropped back on the chair and looked at him. "You know what I mean?" She whispered and looked into his eyes for a while. He nodded and said softly: "Tonight I dreamed of the day we first met" Her face brightened a little and Yugi said: "You were right then ... I made my real friends" Danielle smiled and looked at the table. 'I'm seldom wrong,' she thought and got up again. Yugi's look found her face confused: "Where are you going now?" "I'll have to look for a hotel," he got as an answer. "But ... I can ask my grandpa if you can stay with us as long as you are here." He too had got up and Danny nodded in relief.
They said goodbye to the other three and finally stood on the street in front of the café. "Where do you live?" Asked the little girl and since it was raining they were still under a little shelter. "I live above a game shop not far from here ..." he called and took her hand. Then he dragged them through the streets of dominoes until they arrived in front of said building. The two entered quickly and Danny began to shiver. The black-haired one had gone cold because she had been looking for Yugi all morning. The bright-haired man did not notice this, however, but ran straight into the kitchen, where his grandfather was preparing the meal. Danny looked around. It was a small shop with lots of shelves displaying games. Suddenly a voice next to her said, “My grandfather doesn't mind if you stay here.” This shocked her so much that she whirled around and got a threatening look in her eyes. Yugi jumped back a few meters, horrified, because he had never seen Danny like this before. "Yugi," she breathed heavily and her gaze immediately warmed up again.“Don't just sneak up on you like that again!” But Yugi thought she saw fear on her face for a brief moment. But he didn't say anything, just made a gesture that indicated that she should come along.
He showed her her room, in which she would spend the next days if not weeks. It was a good size and it had a balcony from which you could see the whole of Domino. She put down her suitcase and entered it immediately. "I think I have to thank you and your grandfather," she said and turned around. But nobody was standing there anymore. 'When did he go to Ra? ", she wondered, seriously thinking about it.
In the evening she lay in her bed and stared at the ceiling. 'Weird ... it was like Yugi didn't want to be around me any longer than necessary. 'she thought, wondering why.
The next morning, early in the morning, Danny woke up and got up. She thought again about the previous evening. Something was wrong with Yugi. If only she thought of the evening hours the previous day.

-Flashback -
"The food was delicious," laughs Danny and helps grandfather clear the table. "You don't have to do that ... you're a guest," the old man mumbles softly, which only makes her laugh. “I still have to say thank you for letting me live here.” “Come on,” he says, “I'll do the rest by myself” “Good night, Mr. Muto,” she grins and leaves the kitchen. Step by step she comes closer to her warm bed. She still has to pass Yugi's room to get to hers. But as soon as she passes his door, she stops. Had she just heard voices? Danielle takes a few steps back and listens intently. "... do you think how you know her from?" asks Yugi's voice clearly. To her astonishment, the little one answers a voice that she does not know, but seems familiar to her. "I don't know ..." There is a hint of despair in the voice. "Yami?" 'YAMI? ', the name means nothing to her, which is why she continues to her room and lets the door shut behind her.
-Flashback end -

She clutched the railing of the balcony, feeling a little dizzy. After a brief moment, however, the feeling was gone again and she went back inside. Again she let herself fall on the bed and fell asleep again. After a few hours, she woke up again and heard voices from below. She recognized the voices of Yugi and Joey, so Tea and Tristan had to be there too. Very slowly the little one got up and went down the stairs, rubbing her eyes. The other four were watching a duel monster tournament with grandfather and didn't even notice that Danny was entering the room. Only when she quietly cleared her throat did they startle and look at her. Solomon got up from the sofa and said: "Well, finally awake?" She nodded a little sleepily and he said: "Come with me, I'll make you something to eat" Again the black-haired woman nodded and followed him into the kitchen."What time is it actually?", She asked and Grandfather's gaze wandered to his watch. "Two o'clock," he said. "Oh, I slept for a long time today ... surely there will be noon soon? .." Grandfather smiled at her: "It's almost finished" "And then you still want to do something else for me? No, that is then too much, "she said sharply, and got up again. A confused look from Grandfather followed. Then she went back to her room.
After lunch, Grandfather and Yugi were back in the living room when the doorbell rang. Solomon got up and opened it and saw the postman standing in front of him. He took two packages from him and signed. Grandfather closed the door and looked at the return address. Then he called: "Yugi! Danny! Two packages have just arrived for you!" Danny listened up. Except for her father, nobody knew that she lived here. Although he had reacted very strangely when she had told him. She got up quickly and went down the stairs. Joey and the others had left before lunch. Yugi was already standing next to his grandpa and took his package. Danielle took hers too and looked at the return address. 'Oh no, what does he want? 'she wondered. Grandfather looked in Yugi's package because he had already opened his. "A video, a few stars and a glove?" He asked. Yugi shrugged and said: “Maybe there is an answer on the video?” Danny said: “I'm back upstairs” and before either of the other two could reply, she was gone upstairs. Grandpa and grandchildren looked at each other in amazement, but said nothing more.
In her room, the black-haired paced angrily up and down. Finally she opened the package and found a glove and two stars. Only with her there was no video but a letter in the box. She tore it open and pulled out a neatly folded sheet of paper.
Then she began to read:

Dear Danielle,

'I beg your pardon? "Dear Danielle?" I think I'm going to throw up ... if it starts like this, it can't be a good thing! ', she thought and started reading a second time.

I have fulfilled your wish, or rather your request. What you asked me for is now done. But I'm very attached to them and I can't just hand them over to you! That's why I want you to come to the kingdom of duelists.

'I should WHAT? ', she read furiously.

[i]A duel monster tournament is to take place there from next week. Of course, I expect you to take part in this if you want them. I know that you are a very good duelist ...
That's why I want you to get to the semi-finals and play against the little Yugi-boy once in the entire tournament. He's going to do it too, of course, and I also think he'll make it into the top two, one of which has the pleasure of going up against me.Once your duel is over, and I don't care who wins, you get it.
With kindest regards
Maximilian Pegasus

'This is just unreal! ', she angrily threw the letter on the bed. 'I knew that he wouldn't just give it to me ... he could have sent it to me anyway ... but he's kidding me: I'm supposed to compete against Yugi. But what if he doesn't participate? 'She stopped because she had been walking up and down the room again. Hadn't she just heard something from downstairs? Then she heard him. The call. "DANNY! COME FAST!" 'That was Yugi', she thought and was already standing on the stairs. She ran down step by step and finally arrived in the living room. Yugi was sitting on the floor. Grandfather was in his arms. Danny didn't know how to react at first, but then went to Yugi and asked: "What happened?" Her gaze fell on the television, which was only a hissing noise. When he didn't answer, she looked at him again. Yugi was crying and Danny crouched down. “Yugi?” Her gaze wandered from the bright-haired to the old man, whose eyes were strangely empty. Her breath caught for a moment. "Yugi? What was on the video?" She asked because she had a clue. "Pegasus was on this one and challenged me to a duel. Then he turned the duel into a game of shadows in which I lost ..." more tears ran down his face. "... Then somehow he took my grandfather's soul and now he is ..." As he talked, he became quieter and quieter. Finally all you could hear was sobbing. "And then what?" She asked. "Then he said that if I wanted to see my grandfather again, I had to come to the kingdom of the duelists and fight him." The little girl was angry. 'What is he actually thinking of? 'she kept asking herself and got up. "Where are you going?",
