 "Everything ok?" She blinked. |

 "...yeah. Everything's fine." Mai lied; even though Serenity likely wouldn't tell that she was lying through her teeth at the moment. |

Indeed she did, as she frowned. "Come on, Mai. You can tell me." She put her hands on her hips. |

She closed her eyes. "...it's... complicated." |

"Complicated?" She blinked. "How so?" |

Mai sighed. Explaining everything to Serenity about the Paradius fiasco... and how she had broken her own dueling spirit due to the Eye of Orichalcos... "...I can't really explain it..." |

She blinked. "I see...well whatever it is, nothing really surprises me at this point." She said. "Mai, you're one of the strongest people I know, I really admire you. Whatever happened, I think it can be fixed." |

She hummed. "...I... wonder about that..." she murmured, before looking back at Serenity with a smile. "...but... thanks for cheering me up..." |

She smiled and nodded. "Of course, Mai. I'll always be there if you need me, Mai." She said. "I was going to Domino today, if you're up for it, maybe we could go together?" |

"...I..." She hummed, as she rubbed her neck. "...I'm not sure..." |

"Hm, alright..." She sighed. "I was hoping we could catch up..." She thought for a minute and smiled. "Oh! I got it!" |

"...hm?" Mai hummed as she glanced over at Serenity. |

"Back at Battle City, I dueled for the first time in the VR world. This was when you were...well anyway." She steered away from that subject, when she took out a card. "I dueled with Tristan and Duke, Tristan nearly lost his life because of me...but this card saved myself and Duke that day."  "I haven't dueled since then because...well a lot of things, but I wanted to get this card when I came back to real life. It was very strong back in the game, and whenever I get worried or alone, I take a glance at it from time to time...it's sort of a good luck charm." |

Mai hummed a touch, before smiling. "...I see..." |

"Mai, I'd like to loan this to you." She held it out. "You travel so often, I feel like if you're alone for so long, you might lose your ties to all of us...I don't want that to happen. So I want you to keep this for a while. Who knows, it might help you find yourself." She smiled wide. |

Mai's eyes widened, as she looked at the card. "...you want to..." she spoke, as she was reminded...  ...of when she gave him a copy of her Cyber Harpie Lady before she left him... "...you'd... really give it to me?" she uttered. |

"Of course!" She smiled. "And I won't take no for an answer, Mai. So go on, take it." She kept holding it out. |

She just looked at the card in stunned silence for a while... ...and then, she slowly took it. "...thank you, Serenity..." |

She giggled. "Of course." After a bit of time, she took her bag. "I'd better get down to the station, mom's waiting. It was really good seeing you again, Mai." She came up and hugged her. "And thanks a lot." |

She was surprised by the hug, but she found herself hugging her back. "...you're welcome..." |

She pulled back, waving. "See you!" And the sweet girl ran off. |

Watching her run off, she couldn't help but sigh a touch, before looking at the card. ...two new cards... one peculiar new card... and a good-luck charm... Closing her eyes, she began walking away. ...sorry, Serenity... but it's too early for me to be able to look Joey in the eye... |
