"Are you sure you guys are okay?" Lizzy asked William and Melody. "I mean, that day must have been pretty rough for the two of you."

"For the last time, Lizzy," William began with a groan, "we are fine! It was not the end of the world. We knew that you would make it out of there."

"Will, give her a break!" Melody scolded. "She is just worried about us and how we feel."

"I know, but she has been asking us this for weeks now! I am just a little annoyed, that's all. I know that you care, Lizzy."

"I do!" Lizzy said, wrapping her arms around her friends. "I am your big sister, and as such, I need to take care of my younger siblings!" William and Melody smiled at their friend as they headed over to a person's house, specifically Hikari's uncle. It had been a few weeks since Lizzy regained her memories and now she wanted to reconnect with Hikari. Hikari was one of the four that saw the incident and Lizzy was concerned that the girl would have trauma because of it. So, she decided to go to her uncle's house to find out if she was there. She found the address to the house through her history teacher and as soon as the weekend came around, she and her friends began the journey to their destination. "I can't wait to see her!" she exclaimed, letting go of her buddies and starting to skip ahead of them.

"I don't mean to be a downer but how are we going to know if she is there?" William asked. "All we know of is where one of her relatives live at." Suddenly, one of the Pokéballs that Lizzy had in her pocket came out, and Lucky appeared from the ball.

"Shinx!" Lucky cried aloud, jumping onto Lizzy's shoulder proudly.

"That's right, Lucky!" Lizzy exclaimed with a smile. "It doesn't hurt to at least try to go over there. So, let's do this!" She kept skipping along to the corner of the street and waited for everyone else to catch up.

"You know, there is this thing called walking," William teased as soon as he caught up. "You should try it once in a while."

"Eh, it's too normal," Lizzy yelled, giving him a silly grin. "Since when was I normal, anyway?" She stuck her tongue out at him, and Lucky did the same, imitating her. William just sighed, and Melody laughed at the two. "Now which way do we have to go again?"

"We should be heading right," Melody replied, scanning the area. "It should be two houses down from there." She led the group to the right and together they passed by the two houses and were about to get to the house they were looking for until they spot a familiar face at the front yard.

"Is that Mr. T?" Lizzy asked her friends, peering at the little distance they had with that unknown person.

"Yeah, it is!" William exclaimed. "Let's go say hi before we knock on the door!"

"Yeah!" The little group ran over to their history teacher, calling out his name. Mr. T turned to them and waved.

"Hey, what's up?" he asked. "I figured that you would run by here sooner or later."

"Well, that was because you told us how to get here in the first place!" William said when he and the others got to their teacher. "Anyway, what are you doing here?"

"I'm just saying hi to an old friend and his niece. He and his brother are working on getting teleportation portals up and running again. They already had a few test subjects go off for a month and see how it feels being away from Yuina for the first time." Lizzy furrowed her eyebrows, wondering where she had heard that last sentence before. But her thoughts were interrupted by another familiar voice.

"It's you!" The group turned to that small voice and saw a young girl with a yellow mouse on top of her head. She smiled and ran towards them, hugging Lizzy's waist when she got there. "Hi, remember me?" the girl asked Lizzy. "My name is Hikari!"

"Of course, I remember you, little one!" Lizzy replied. "I will always remember. Now, who is this friend on top of your head?"

"This is my friend Pikachu!" Hikari explained, patting the creature's head. "It's a Pokémon, just like Lucky. Do you think they can play for a bit?"

"Sure! Lucky, introduce yourself to Pikachu and have fun! I have to do a few things in the meantime." Lucky nodded at me and jumped off of my head, starting to explore the front yard. Pikachu went off too so that it can follow Lucky. "They're interesting, aren't they?" Hikari nodded happily.

"So, how do you feel?" the little girl asked shyly, looking at the ground.

"I feel pretty good!" Lizzy answered, patting the girl's head. "To be honest, I did not know who you were about a month ago. But everything is back now, and I can finally move forward to the great unknown! It will be awesome!" Hikari was surprised by her older friend's response and looked up at her, saying,

"Move forward? Where?"

"I don't know yet, but the first thing that I have to do is amend for the things that I did back then, at least that is what I think I should do." Lizzy knelt down in front of the little girl and placed both of her hands on her shoulders. "I actually came here to apologize for what happened earlier, when my accident occurred. It must have been a bit traumatic for you that day, and I'm sorry that you had to see that."

"I-It's okay," Hikari said with a nervous smile. "Actually...I want to say thank you! Thank you for saving me that day!"

"U-Um..." Lizzy stuttered in shock. She didn't expect a thank you from the girl. "You're welcome, Hikari. I always try to help people!" The young girl giggled happily and turned to the front door of her uncle's house, where she saw a man standing there with blonde hair and brown eyes. He looked a bit older than Mr. T, but he still had a young man's countenance.

"Hikari, who are these friends that you have?" the man asked.

"Uncle Riku, this is Lizzy, William, and Melody!" Hikari introduced. "They're my friends that saved me from that scary car."

"Ah, I see!" Riku said, stepping to the front yard. "Then I must thank you all for your heroism that day. If it weren't for you, then I wouldn't have my sweet niece."

"You're welcome, sir!" Melody replied. She then patted Lizzy's back and exclaimed, "But it was Lizzy that did most of the work! She grabbed Hikari and got her out of the street before she could have gotten hit." Riku nodded at the girl's response and turned to Lizzy, saying his thanks and appreciation for her efforts, but also taking a closer look at the girl.

"Lizzy...you wouldn't happen to be Jarod Wood's younger sister, would you?" the man asked.

"Yeah, she is!" Mr. T exclaimed happily. "He, James, and Bryan were students of mine back when they were still in high school. They were the ones that I recommended you for the test, remember?"

"Yes, I can recall them now!" The two shared a short laugh while Lizzy stared at them in shock. That was where the girl heard the teleportation testing before. Her brothers and Bryan were asked to help out with a project, and they had to leave for at least a month or so.

"So, you're the one that is in charge of the project my brothers are a part of?" Lizzy realized.

"W-Well yes," Riku said with a slight sweatdrop. "I can understand if you are upset because of this test being sudden but-"

"That's so cool! I want to be part of a project like that!!" Everyone else was surprised at her sudden response, but Lizzy just smiled. "I mean, it'd be cool to be part of something like that," Lizzy explained. "It's something exciting and fun!"

"I like this girl's attitude," Riku chuckled. "But I'm afraid that those boys are the only testers that I need for the experiment. If it works out, then perhaps I can have you go out there too."

"Yay! Where did they go, anyway?"

"They went over to New Domino City." William and Melody gasped and turned to Lizzy, who was stunned as well. They had no idea that the boys went off to that city, where Lizzy dueled against Yusei.

"What made them want to go there?" Mr. T asked, seeing his stunned students. He knew about Lizzy's duel but wanted to see for himself as to why James, Jarod, and Bryan went there.

"I don't know," Riku admitted. "They never gave me a reason. For my test, I asked them for one place out of Yuina that they wanted to go to, and they chose New Domino City. I know that one person in the past few months went there for a tournament, but that was by a boat that went into a large portal. My experiment is to make teleportation easier than just traveling by boat. In a few more weeks, they will return, and I can see if the entirety of my project works,"

"But what if they don't come back, Uncle?" Hikari asked. "What if it doesn't work?"

"Don't worry, I have plans for that already. If it doesn't work, then I'll just have to send someone by boat to go get them."

"May I do that, if that ever becomes the case?" Lizzy asked quickly.

"Of course," Riku replied. "But can I know of why?" The former amnesiac took a deep breath and explained,

"I was the person that went to New Domino City those many months ago. I attended the tournament in my brother's place and ended up hospitalized after one duel, because of past trauma. From what I hear now, I think I know the reason as to why those three went to the city. However, I need to go there myself and maybe make amends to what happened there in the past. If I can't do that, how will I be able to move forward and forgive myself?" Lizzy had tears in her eyes as she said those words. "I need to go there, sir! I have to go, no matter what and how I get there." Riku nodded with a confident smile.

"It all makes sense now," he remarked. "Why there were so adamant. So, I will declare as the rightful person to bring those boys back if things go wrong. Are you up for the challenge?" Lizzy beamed bright, looked at her friends, and then at Riku.

"I'll do it!" she cheered happily.
