Yami hadnt looked to Shadow when he informed him about having talked to Yugi. Granted he knew. [i]"I know. Im proud of you. He is right you know. We would be willing to be your first friends."[/i] Yami reassured, comfirming what Yugi had offered. 

"Now what? He was struggling when there was only one!" Tea exclaims, knowing it was true. 
"Don't give in, Joey! You've still got all kinds a' moves left!" Jaden cheers on from where he is. 
"Really? What moves would those be?" Tea asks skeptically, her arms crossed. Jaden shyly laughs while Tristen shrugs. "How would we know? Ask an expert...ask Yugi." 

Yami stands where he is as he watches Joey. "This is Joey's Duel. He needs ro figure it out."

"Ha! And I'm going to keep using the magic of "Elegant Egotist" to double my Harpies again and again each turn! Ahaha! But while my Harpies multiply, I can't attack you, so it's your move. Of course you'll soon be up against an army!" Mai declares smugly. 
"An army of Harpies? How the heck do I fight an army?!" Joey mutters out in disbrlief. Though he had found out her strategy of sike people out when dueling her, but he still had to beat her deck and the strategy she uses. That was the whole new ball game there and it was starting to get to him. 

"Don't give up, Joey!" An encouraging voice spoke out. The blonde was pulled out of his thoughts as he looked to voice that belonged to Yugi. "Huh?" 
"Think hard about her strategy; she's been using only one monster card, and strengthening that [b][i]one card[/i][/b] with [b][i]many[/i][/b] magic cards. But there's a serious flaw in her dueling strategy, Joey!" Yami hinted as he was trying to get him to focus on the Duel and what needed to be done. 

"Usin' magic on one card? That's true! She's just been juicin' up the Harpie Ladies every turn; but if she has mostly magic cards, maybe the Harpie Ladies are the only monsters! I bet if I can just defeat 'er Harpies, she won't have any monsters left to play!" Joey realized as he looked at the Harpy Ladies on the field. Now trying to think of a card that would help him stop this loop. 

"That's right Joey, now think. What card in your deck will help you win?" Yami asks. "Which of my cards? You tell ME..." more for muttering to himself. But then Joey got to thinking. [i]'Wait...I think maybe you did." Thiniking back on the cards he had gotten back on the shop.


Yugi was sitting in his Soul Room for when Shadow had appeared before him. Granted he was startled a little having not expecting it while hearing what was going on and Joey starting to get his bearings together with Yami helping, getting the blonde to understand what he should pay attention to when dueling and how to act accordingly. So when Shadow appeared, he had been focused on the outside. He gave Shadow a smile of greeting, scooting over when she came to sit on the bed with him. The young boy could only smile in excitement as he heard her decision. "Thats great Shadow. " Yugi who was obviously overjoyed, threw his arms around her in a hug showing just how happy he was and more that Yami could feel this overpowering joy. "Thank you." Yugi thanked Shadow.
