//------------------------------// // Duel 2: Weekend Relaxation Part 2 // Story: Yu-Gi-Oh! Friendship is Dueling 8: Reunions // by Bahamut0 //------------------------------// Inferno and Rarity's families had gotten together, and Rarity's parents were chatting up a storm with Inferno's. "You didn't tell me your Dad used to be a rock star, darling.", Rarity said with a sly smile. "Or that your mother was his bandmate for that matter." "How else do you think I got my singing and guitar skills?", Inferno said with a smile. "They knew what they were doing when they had me. Dad even gave up his old lifestyle so that he could raise me and build a family. Like Red-Eyes, my family is pretty closely-knit." "I could say the same about me and my family.", Rarity said with a sigh. "My parents are away on business a lot, but they always make sure to call me and Sweetie Belle. They make sure we're never alone." Rarity then noticed that Inferno was staring at her, and giggled. "It's rude to stare darling. But I don't mind since it's you." "Sorry. I can't help it if I get captivated by your beauty." "Well. I DO make it a point to look my best.", Rarity said with a proud smile. "I didn't mean your looks." Inferno then wrapped his arms around Rarity. "I meant your heart. You're one of the kindest, most generous people I've ever known. Your heart's the treasure I'd protect no matter what." "And your heart is what ignites my soul.", Rarity said with a dreamy look in her eyes as she put her arms around Inferno's neck. "Gangway!", Sweeite Belle shouted as she chased Black Dragon's Chick! "Siblings.", Rarity said with a pout. "Tell me about it.", Red-Eyes said as he kept watch over Chick. Inferno and Rarity let out a small laugh as they gazed at each other. Meanwhile with Sunset and Gold... Sunset had went over to Gold's mansion for their date. Gold greeted her with a warm smile. "I've been expecting you." "Hope I didn't keep you waiting. So are you ready to head to the movies?", Sunset asked. "You misunderstand. We're using the personal theater here in the mansion." "Looking to get cozy are we?", Sunset said with a smirk. "Like you don't enjoy curling up with me.", Gold countered with a smile. The two went inside, and Gold got the snacks ready for the movie as he put it on. Sunset got close to Gold, and shared a kiss with him as the movie began to play. Once the movie was almost over, Sunset curled up with Gold. Gold looked down, and smiled. "Told you." "No talking in the theater.", Sunset joked as she inched closer to Gold. "Don't make me silence you.", she said with a flirty smile. Gold grinned at hearing Sunset's banter. "I wouldn't mind that." Gold and Sunset shared another kiss as the credits rolled. Steel and Rainbow Dash... "You're SURE this is safe Dash?", Steel asked. "I'm not so sure we should be using my shield to board down this hill." "Ugh! There you go again with that annoying cool-and-cautionary attitude!", Rainbow Dash groaned. "We'll be fine!" Steel sighed. "At least the shield can generate a barrier. LET'S GO!" Steel kicked-off the shield and held Rainbow Dash close to him. "WOOOO! THIS IS AWESOME!" Rainbow Dash grinned until she saw something in their path. "TREE!" Steel noticed the tree, and activated his shield. The two hit the tree, but the barrier managed to cushion the impact. "That was close!" "Says the girl who talked me into this fool idea in the first place.", Steel said with a smirk. Rainbow pouted, and kissed Steel! "Shut up.", Rainbow Dash said with a smile. "Gladly." Steel and Rainbow let out a laugh as they headed off to Sugar Cube Corner. The Dazzlings and their boyfriends.... Fang was napping in Aria's lap. Aria smiled. "He looks so cute when he's sleeping." Aria scratched one of Fang's ears. Causing him to smile. Adagio smiled at the sight as she and Veenus watched TV. "Never thought I'd see the day Aria ACTUALLY smiled.", Adagio said with a chuckle. "And I bet you've never met a guy who could charm you.", Veenus said with a smile as he shared a kiss with her. "I guess you could say our relatioship has blossomed." "Enough plant-puns you. More lip-locking!" Adagio almost tackeld Veenus as she made-out with him. Sonata and Ace laughed at the sight. "They all make cute couples!", Sonata beamed. "True. But I think we set the standard Sonata.", Ace said with a smile as Sonata curled up to him, and shared a kiss. "Its moments like this that I really enjoy." Shadow and Starlight... "Man it's nice to take a break from all the craziness.", Shadow said with a calm smile as he and Starlight were enjoying lunch together. "You do know we're probably going to have to deal with a new set of villains soon, right?", Starlight asked with a sly smile. "I know. But for now, let's just enjoy this. I think we both needed it." "You're not wrong. After all, this is our first date. And it's been wonderful." Shadow and Starlight smiled as they enjoyed each other's company. Nightfall and Twilight... "This was a great idea for a date Night.", Twilight whispered. Night had taken her to a library for their first date. "Well, I figured the best date would be something, or someplace you really enjoy.", Nightfall said with a smile. "You did spend a lot of time in the library. And here we are now." "It is a nice and quiet place. But there is ONE way it could be quieter." Twilight brought Nightfall in for a kiss. "Thanks for always being by me Night." Night just smiled as he and Twilight continued looking at the card catalog they were reading. Ice and Indigo... "I did NOT see that coming.", Ice said with wide eyes. "Red, you didn't tell me you had this many relatives." "Yeah....", Red Dragon Archfiend said as he scratched his head. "They kinda wanted to meet you ever since I became your monster partner. There's my mom Abyss, my dad Bane, Grandpa Calamity, my big brother Nova, and my cousins Scarlight and Tyrant." Red Dragon pointed to a huge family of fearsome-looking dragons. Ice and Indigo were nervous because of how intimidating they looked. That is, until the RDA family smiled. "Nice to meet you!", the RDA family greeted. "So....can they join the extra deck?", Red Dragon Archfiend asked. "Sure.", Ice said with a shrug. "Why stay apart, right?" Several flaming cards flew into Ice's extra deck. Ice then turned to Indigo. "I'm sorry, where were we?" "About to get ice cream.", Indigo answered. "Something to cool that hot-head of yours." "I know. My parents gave me the most ironic name ever.", Ice said with a defeated smile. "Just one more day, and its back to the regular routine. Might as well enjoy your snarkiness while I can." Indigo giggled. "You know you love me." The two got their ice cream and enjoyed their afternoon.
