It was a nice chance of atmosphere for Adam that seemed to happen in an instant. Over the past week since he had arrived in town, he had always been slightly on guard for both the rare hunters he had met the other day as well as other duelists who recognized him and wanted to duel. Now though, he felt himself relax and loosen up. It was a pleasant feeling. He then remembered what he had heard as he was walking in. "Sapphire, did I hear you were wondering about a card's price?" he asked. "Don't worry, I'm not looking to buy, but I might be able to help with this."

"What is it that you need about some card's price?" Ridley asked.

Sapphire decided it wouldn't hurt to tell them everything. "Okay, so I have a deck of cards that I never use," she began. "And when I was in the restroom some girls figured out I had cards and wanted to buy them off me. They said only one was valuable, but I didn't sell it. I think it's worth more money than she was letting on."
She pulled her deck out and looked through her cards until she found the card with the buff warrior guy on it again.
"Gilford the Legend," she read. "Is this a rare card?"

Ridley's eyes widen at the sight of Gilford the Legend. "Of course it's a rare card. Wait, scratch that; it's a really rare card!" exclaimed the slender boy. "Not many people have this thing."

Adam raised his eyebrows as he heard Sapphire. "If I'm not mistaken, Gilford the Legend is one of the most powerful Warrior monsters out there. Given its ability, it might be the strongest," he said. "There are some people who only wish they could have one of those. If it were me, I would hold on to it. Some things are too valuable to sell for money."

Sapphire's eyes went as wide as Ridley's "Really!? I'm so glad I didn't sell it for a measly $15!"

"Of course you shouldn't sell it, Sapphire. You said someone gave you those cards, right? Well then if that person is special to you, than you should never get rid of the gift he or she gave you." said Ridley full of confidence. He quickly stopped himself when he realized how... excited he was being. 'What's going on with me? I've never felt this way in a long time.'

Sapphire's smile faded, and she felt cold and sick.
"I want you to have this, my treasure."
"No! I can't take that! You love that deck."
"That's why I'm giving it to you, Sapphire. I'm not gonna be dueling where I'm going..."
"Don't talk like that! Please!"
"I know you'll take care of my treasure, even if you hate Yu-Gi-Oh!"
"You love your cards that much..."
"Take care of them for me, Sapphire!"
"I will! I promise!"
"Your treasure," Sapphire said quietly, "I was gonna start selling it and break my promise..." Tears welled up in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. She clutched deck to her chest tightly.

"S-Sapphire." spoke Ridley, looking at the girl with concern. He put his hand on her shoulder. "Will you be okay?"

Sapphire wiped her eyes with her hand. "Yeah, I'm gonna be okay. Sorry about that. I just remembered something from a long time ago."

"Yeah, it's pretty rare. They stopped mass-producing it a long time ago, along with Gilford the Lightning." Said Ami.
"So your okay?" Said Makoto, a bit worried for Saphire.

Sapphire nodded, wiping her face a some more. "Yeah, I'm okay now. Thanks for asking."

"Hey, thats what friends do." Said Makoto, smirking, not fully aware of what he just said, but still meaning the message.

Friends... Sapphire found herself smiling. Nothing could have cheered her up more than being told she had friends. At last, she had someone she could relate to at Domino City.
"Thanks guys," she said. "I feel much better now."

"No problem." Said Makoto smiling, Ami also smiled and nodded.

Even though he wasn't one for coming up with classy reassuring lines for these situations, he couldn't help but smile. He had usually lived in a very competitive world of dueling where there was little sympathy. Moments like this were rare for him. For a moment, he completely forgot about his new cards. "So," he said finally. "Where are you guys headed? I was scoping out some competition, but that can wait until later."

"Ummm..." Said Makoto. "I dunno..."

"Anyone want to eat lunch?" asked Ami.

As if reminded by it from Ami's suggestion of food, Adam's stomach churned slightly. Although slightly embarrassed, he scratched the back of his head and grinned. "I'm game for that," he said. "I haven't eaten since breakfast."

"Oh, that's right," Sapphire said to herself. She had wanted to buy some snacks but forgot all about that. "I guess I'm hungry too."

Ridley placed his hands over his stomach, feeling it churned a bit. "Hey, I know a good place where we can eat. Follow me."

"Lead the way," said Adam enthusiastically as he suppressed his hunger. "Question though... Do they make good Cheeseburgers? I've been dyin' to have a good American cheeseburger ever since I got here."

"You'll see when we get there." replied Ridley as he led everyone down a few blocks and turned a corner leeding into a large public quad. It was a buffet quad! In the center were many tables and chairs for citizens. Surrounding the center were rows of different food stands that range from italian food, chinese food, fast food, breasfast-for-lunch, sub sandwiches, dessert, and etc.
"Ever since I moved to Domino City, I'd always come here for lunch. Well, go crazy!" said Ridley.

"Oh... my... God," said Adam as he gazed around. After living off mainly Ramen, the sight before him was a welcoming one. "Well... Don't know what you all are waiting for. I'm goin' to get my burger." With that, Adam moved anxiously through the buffet quad toward an Arbies.

"Holy..." Said Makoto, looking at the variety of food. "If this is some kind of fantastic dream, I beg you guys- don't freaking wake up until I'm done eating!"

It was just what Sapphire needed. "All right! This place is great!" she cheered. "I'm gonna be so busy trying to decide on what to eat here."

Adam spent almost five minutes ordering his food. It all looked so good that he had trouble deciding sometimes. Then, with his tray full with the biggest cheeseburger he had ever seen, a bowl of boardwalk fries, and an old fashion looking bottle of Coca-Cola Classic, he stood amongst the crowd and looked for an empty table that he could snag for himself and his new friends.

Ridley felt happy knowing he was able to help his new friends find the perfect place for lunch. "Maybe things won't turn out so bad after all." He said to himself as he made his way to the Subway stand.

Meanwhile, Makoto was having some tomato soup. "This place is awesome! We gotta come here more often!" He said, happily.

As Adam sat down at Makoto's table, he pleasently bit into the cheeseburger. After he had swallowed though, he took a long hard look around the food court. Even though he was having a good time hanging out with other people for a change, his life suddenly came flooding back to him and he remembered that he had to be careful now. If the wrong people found out what he had gotten from the states, people would start coming after him. As he took a long sip of Coca Cola though, his worries left for the most part, but he still kept an eye out while he was eating.
