He ran through the alleys. It was pouring rain again, and for a short time he had completely lost his bearings. And only because he had been walking so lost in thought. He sighed. How did he deserve it? Did he do anything wrong? Then he stopped briefly to catch his breath. He looked around. Suddenly he remembered where he was now. He had strayed quite a bit. He actually wanted to take a short cut to get home. Just thinking about home became very different for him. He would have preferred to go further with his friends than go home. But there was nothing else he could do, willy-nilly. He sighed again. He was soaked now. He had to move on at some point. Then why was he putting it off like that? He didn't know himself. Briefly he looked up at the sky again and started walking. He hardly had to think about how to walk, he almost knew the way by heart. There left, then right ..... And now .....But he couldn't get any further, before him he saw a man he had never seen before ... The man he suddenly saw in front of him was completely veiled ..... How could that be ?? What was he doing here? Usually he never met anyone here in the alleys when he went home. And that the guy was completely veiled, he wasn't entirely sure either. He had had bad experiences with guys like that, so he was ready for anything. But the stranger just stood there. He didn't move, at least not in a way that he could have seen anything.

"I think I have something for you that would interest you ..." said the stranger, so quietly that he could barely understand him. And the tone of the stranger that lay in his voice was so cold that he got goose bumps. Shortly afterwards he had recovered. "And ... What is that supposed to be ???" he finally asked. "As I said before, something you should be very interested in ..... Joey (Note: So, it's out now ^.^ And ?? Who thought it was Joey before?) "Came back from the stranger. How did he only know his name? Did he know it? How from? At least Joey was sure that he had never seen him." Could I finally find out what it is that interests me so dearly? ", Joey asked a little cooler now. Things were getting too scary for him." This ... ", the man said. He handed Joey a kind of box. When Joey looked at him, he seemed to be able to make out a few facial features , and he was sure it was a smile. Hesitantly, he took the box and looked at it in the pale light .... Somehow it seemed familiar to him, he just didn't know where from. While he was standing there and looking at it Looking at Schachte and desperately wondering where she seemed so familiar to him from, he didn't notice how the stranger was slowly walking away.

"Hey, where has the strange guy gone now ???", Joey wondered aloud when he finally noticed that the stranger was suddenly gone."It can't just have disappeared, I just looked at this ..... that thing for a moment," he mumbled and looked around the alley. Nowhere a trace of these strange strangers. Why had he given him that strange box? As he walked on, questions about this strange guy were still buzzing around in his head.

When Joey finally got home, he put the box in his room and didn't even think about what might be in it. At first he didn't care either way.

Not until the next morning when Joey packed his things and was ready to go to school. "What am I supposed to do with the thing now?", He thought, looked at it again for a moment, but let it lie. He would tell Yugi, Tristan and Tea about it at school and ask them what they thought of it, that much was certain. Although, he could imagine their reactions very clearly. Well, when he came back from school, he could still take a look, no matter what they said at school."Whaa? A stranger threw you a box like that ???" Tristan asked, aghast. "Yeah, I thought it was strange too," said Joey, bored. And?? It had happened exactly what he had thought. "Why should someone give you something like that," said Tea. "How should I know, please?" Joey asked back. He shouldn't have asked in the first place. Then he looked briefly at Yugi. Yugi hadn't said anything about getting this box yet. He stood and looked thoughtfully at Joey. Didn't he want to say anything about it? What was Yugi thinking? He was about to ask about it, but then Yugi started to talk. "Well, I think you should just have a look what's in there ..... I know it's strange that you got a box like that from a stranger, but let's take my puzzle" , he showed shortly afterwards, "... That was also in a box ...", said Yugi. Now it was Joey who looked a bit strange at Yugi. So many thoughts were racing around in his head at once that he couldn't place them all.Could that really be? No, it wasn't even possible! But Yugi had just said ..... For the first time he was really happy that the lesson had started because he didn't have that much time to think about it.

Time seemed to go by far too slowly today. It was also the first time that he wanted to go home straight after school. Now he wanted to know exactly whether his guess was correct or whether it was wrong. In the last hour he counted the seconds that passed. It was now two minutes ... Much too long for his liking. Another minute and thirty seconds ..... Well, we're moving forward, maybe the teacher will let us go a minute before? One more minute ... Come on now ... I want to go home! 30 seconds ..... it's about to happen! 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 seconds ..... And what if he wasn't right after all? Maybe he was just making it up, and instead there was nothing important in the box!4, 3, 2, 1 seconds ..... Finally he could go home ..... "Hey, wait a minute!", Tristan and Yugi called after him. Joey turned around again and looked at them. "Sorry, I already have something planned for today, I just thought of it!", He said with a smile and he was gone.

He ran, almost as if it was for his life. He wanted to know now whether he had raised his hopes in vain! He quickly ran up the stairs to his apartment and ran into his room. There she was still standing ..... where he had put her. What if it really wasn't what he'd believed? How would he react to that? Now he walked slowly in the direction of the box. For one thing, he hoped he wasn't wrong ... But what if he wasn't wrong? Then what should he do? In the meantime he had reached the box. It couldn't be denied ..... He stared at her. Why hadn't he noticed that yesterday?You're not backing down now; he encouraged himself. He slowly opened the box. But while opening it, he closed his eyes. Then, as the lid dropped to the floor, he opened his eyes again and stared at the contents of the box.

Author's note: Well, that was part one, I hope I get a couple of clerks, I would be very happy ^^
