Ayumi decided it was time to ask.
"I know we don't know each other that much, but may you carry me?" she asked. "I'm getting weary of walking and if I fall asleep, I give you every right to awaken me." She had wanted to make sure that she had an absolute chance of being carried.

Joshua blushed, not expecting that at all. "U-um... sure, I guess," he said, kneeling down so she could climb onto his shoulders.

Ayumi climbed onto his shoulders and held on for dear life. Now she would be able to rest, but she would try and not fall asleep.

Joshua continued on, glad that he was forced to do weight training back in Ireland. He carried her the whole way down to the store, and when they reached it, he stopped and looked at her. "Uh, we're here," he said, wondering if she had fallen asleep.

When Ayumi heard that they were there, she jumped off and stood at his side, waiting to see what the store's inside looked like.

Joshua opened the door and walked in. They were in an electronics store, and there was everything from music players to spark plugs. He walked up to the counter, where there was a rather old man sitting, who beamed when he saw Joshua enter. "Ah, my favorite customer! And you brought a friend! How may I help you?" he asked. "She wants a duel disk," Joshua said, gently taking the money from her hands and giving it to the man. However, he smiled and refused it. "No, no, please, take this one for free, in return for helping me clean the storage room the other day," he said, taking a duel disk from the back wall and handing it to Ayumi. "Have fun!" the man said, and then walked into the back room. Joshua thanked him, and then motioned for them to leave.

Ayumi looked at the box and held it close to her, gently. She finally had a duel disk, now all she needed was her deck and she could duel. She turned to Josh. "I don't know how to thank you." she said, smiling.

"Oh, uh, don't worry about it," Joshua said, leading her out of the store. He then looked at the money, and then at her. "So, I guess that means we have money for your deck. What kind of deck do you want?" he asked.

"I have a deck in the making right now." Ayumi answered. "It introduces two new types never seen before, so I'm sure I'll have it soon."

"Well, that's interesting. I'd love to see it when you're done," he said, handing the money back to her. "Let's go to the card shop so you can finish it up. And, uh, if you want..." he began, but finished by kneeling down again so she could get back on his shoulders.

Ayumi took the money and put inside the box, which also contained her duel disk. "Actually, the card shop won't have them." she said. "They're one of a kind. I sent them to a card-making company."

"Oh. So where do you get them?" he asked, standing back up, curious as to what kind of cards she created.

"When they're done, the people at the company send them directly to me." she answered. "They do that because if someone else got it, my deck would be incomplete. I might ask them to make more copies, but I'm still not sure about that."

"Oh, okay. So... what now?" Joshua asked, looking around. He was out of ideas on where they should go next.

Ayumi looked around. "I don't know." she said. "I don't know much of the city even though I've lived here all my life. I was stuck in an orphanage and just recently escaped from there because I was tired of all the things they do there." She didn't want to go back there and she certainly didn't want to talk about it. She looked again at her duel disk and the money that was in it. She may have had money, but she had no idea what to use it on. She may have a duel disk but all her cards were not created yet.
I wonder when my cards will be done because I really want to duel. It will be my first time dueling, but I know the rules and everything. she thought. What's taking them so long?

Joshua sat down on a nearby bench and started to wonder. 'Is this what you would call... a date? Should I take her somewhere, like maybe the park? Ugh, why'd I have to stop and help her, then I wouldn't be dealing with this...' he thought. He was definitely feeling something, but he didn't quite know what it was yet. All he knew was that this person was starting to change the way he thought about people...

Ayumi continued to wonder why it was taking so long for her cards to get created(it's such a tedious project). She leaned against Josh, probably going to fall asleep again. She closed her eyes and fell asleep, the box containing the duel disk and the money in her hands.

Joshua looked at her, and for the first time in years, he managed to smile. He leaned his head on top of hers and closed his eyes, ready to sleep away the ache in his muscles from carrying Ayumi.

Ayumi had already fallen asleep. She wanted to stay here for a while. Subconsciously, she wondered what people would think if they saw both of them together.

After a few hours, Joshua woke up. He blinked and looked around, and came face to face with a rather young boy. Still out of it, Joshua asked, "What are you looking at...?" "Wondering how you got a girlfriend, mister grumpy," the boy responded, before laughing and running off. Joshua blushed furiously, yelling after him, "N-no, it's not like that! At least, I think so..." he whispered the last part to himself. In all his commotion, he had accidentally let Ayumi slip off his shoulder, and got worried about what she would do.

Ayumi continued to sleep but when her head hit the bench, she woke up quickly. She got up and held the side of her head. She looked up at Josh and asked, "What just happened?" She didn't know what happened, all she knew was the side of her head hurt. She still had that box which she had to protect. She awaited Josh's answer.

"Oh, uh... just some little kid... Sorry," he said, getting up. "I'm getting hungry, how about you?" he asked, trying to think of a restaurant somewhere nearby.

She nodded. "Yes, I am hungry." What Ayumi really wanted was sleep. "Do you know any restaurants around here?"

"Well, that's what I'm trying to figure out," he said. Eventually he gave up, and turned to Ayumi. "I guess we just walk around until we find one. But what I don't get is how you still look that tired after all that sleep..." he said.

"It's natural." Ayumi responded. "I look tired no matter how much sleep I get." She looked down.

Joshua thought he had hurt her feelings when she looked down. "N-not that there's anything wrong with that! I was just wondering... Anyway, let's go find a place to eat," he said.

Ayumi looked at the guy who had spoken. Am I cursed to be around guys all the time?
"What do you mean?" she asked. She most likely already had a place to go. There were plenty of places to eat and she wasn't sure if she could trust this man.
She looked at Josh. "What do you think we should do?"

"I don't like the feel of this guy..." Joshua said, stepping between Divine and Ayumi. "We don't want to join any 'organization', so we'll just be on our way..." he said, grabbing Ayumi's hand and starting to lead her away.

Ayumi was sure Josh just saved her from ruining her life and she was grateful he did what he did. She would thank him later.
