Friendship is Dueling 4: Cyber Duel Saga // by Bahamut0 //------------------------------// Ice had just met up with Indigo for his date. "You ready Zap?", Ice asked. Indigo nodded. "Sure am! So what's out first stop?" "I was thinking we could start our date with something sweet.", Ice answered. Ice then summoned Red Dragon Archfiend. "Taking her in style are we?", Red Dragon asked with a grin. D.D. Warrior Lady then fully materialized. "Got room for one more?", she asked with a flirty smile. Red Dragon blushed! "Uh...of..of course! But, you'll have to be carried by my hands." "Aw. Is that your cover for holding me close?", Warrior Lady said with a wink. "N...No! I...I just want don't want to have Ice hanging by my claws!" D.D. Warrior smiled at Red Dragon's reaction. "You're incredibly cute when you're nervous Red!" Warrior Lady then kissed Red Dragon on his cheek! "If you two are done, let's be going.", Indigo said with a small smile. Warrior Lady pouted. "Hmph! Spoilsport." Warrior Lady got into Red Dragon's hands while Ice and Indigo got on his back. "Hold tight!", Red Dragon called out as he took off! They soon landed at Sugar Cube Corner, and the four of them went inside and were surprised to find Ace and Sonata! "Hey bro! Looks like we had the same idea.", Ace said with a battle. "You and your girl care to join us?" "Sure.", Ice said with a shrug. "Why not make it a double date." "In the mean time...", Red Dragon said with a smile. "Warrior Lady and I are gonna grab our own table. I'd be honored if you'd join me." "You might be a dragon, but you've got the charm of a prince.", Warrior Lady said with a smile. "Lead the way." Ace and Ice smiled as Red Dragon Archfiend and D.D. Warrior Lady shared a soda. "So was this you two's first stop?", Ice asked. "Nope! We dueled first! I managed to almost beat Ace!", Sonata chirped. Ace chuckled. "Her water deck nearly washed away my life points. So did you make your deck because you used to be a siren?" Sonata nodded in response. "Yup! That, and Jellyfish and Gagagigo are super fun to hang out with when Ari and Dagi are too busy." "Y'know Ice? It's weird.", Indigo speculated. "What is?", Ice asked. "Your name has Ice in it, but you've got a lot of fiery monsters." "What can I say? It's ironic. And I've never once questioned it.", Ice answered with a smile. "Kinda explains why Red Dragon partnered with me. Speaking of parnters, have you ever tried to what Burst and Inferno can do Ace? You know, sprouting dragon wings?" Ace shook his head. "I felt something pretty similar during.....the incident." Ice then lowered his head. "Oh. Yeah. THAT time." "But at least I got Timaeus back, and you." "Uh, would either of you care to explain 'the incident' to me?", Indigo asked. "It's a long story Zap. One for another time, and that I'm not eager to retell.", Ice said with a frown. "HEY!", Sonata yelled! The whole group was shocked out of her sudden burst of volume! "No frowny faces! This day's supposed to have smiles!" Everyone else snapped out of their shock, and shared a laugh. They also received an unexpected guest. "Hey, aren't you Arctic Ace? One of the Battle City finalists?" The group turned and saw Mokuba. "Yeah. And you're Kaiba's little brother. What're you doing here?", Ace asked. "I thought you two would head back to Domino City after Battle City." "Eh, Seto's taking some time to check-up on our Canterlot branch. Oh! I almost forgot! He took notice of how much you liked out Duel Monsters video games, so he invited you and three guests to try out our new virtual reality system! So are you interested?" "Sounds like fun!", Ace answered. "Well? You wanna try it Sonata?" "Sure! As long as I can still spend some time with you!", Sonata said with a smile. Ace then turned to Ice and Indigo. "How about you two?" "Game on!", they answered. "Then it's settled!" "Great! Seto already arranged some transportation for us. We can leave as soon as you're ready." "Hold on a sec!", Ice said. "We'd better let Red Dragon and Warrior Lady finish their date." The group turned to see Red Dragon Archfiend and D.D. Warrior Lady sharing a soda. "You two done?" Red Dragon nodded. "All good!" Red Dragon and Warrior Lady returned to their cards. "Well. Let's get our game on!", Ace cheered.
