Somewhere, Joey was running, scared for his life as something behind him roars. "Yah Ay Yi!" babbled Joey as he runs from what seems to be the Blue Eyes White Dragon. He trips as he looks back at the dragon, then tries to escape before he touches something.

"Kaiba!" he exclaims, seeing the duelist behind him. "Call off your dragon. I give. I give!"

"Poor, scared Joey." sneered Kaiba. "He calls himself a duelist, but he's just a little puppy dog cringing in fear."

"I'm not scared of you." said Joey.

"Bad dog! Don't contradict your master!" said Kaiba, pointing to Joey.

"Grr...you're not my..." Joey starts saying but gets talked over.

"Quiet! Sit!" commanded Kaiba.

"Huh?" said Joey, seeing that he was in a dog suit.

"Sit at your master's feet, where you belong." said Kaiba as Joey whimpers like a dog at Kaiba's feet before sobbing. On the ground, Joey was sobbing in his sleep until a drop of water falls onto his face.

"Huh? Huh?!" said Joey, waking up. "A dream. Aah! Kaiba, we'll see who eats the dog chow on this island. Ahh! Everybody, wake up!"

"Joey, what's wrong?" asked Yugi.

"What is it, Joey?" asked Bakura.

"Ahh, nothing's wrong." he tells them. "It's just a brand-new day of the tournament, and I'm hot to find us a duel!"

"Well, you don't have to yell about it." said Tristan.

"Hey, guys, what's all the commotion?" asked Tea as she and Paige walked up.

"Good morning, Tea. Good morning, Paige." said Yugi.

"Did Yugi tried to kick one of you in his sleep?" asked Paige.

"No and I had a really bad nightmare that time." Yugi tells his sister.

"Still doesn't mean that you should've kicked me." replied Paige.

"Where's Mai?" Joey asked Tea. "Isn't she with you and Paige?"

"She said she had to go. And to give you this note, Yugi." said Tea, handing Yugi a note.

"Huh?" said Yugi, taking the note and reading it.

I owe you 8-star chips. See you around. Mai.

"Oh!" Yugi gasped.

"Kiss those chips good bye." said Tristan.

"I don't know." said Yugi. "Maybe we really can trust Mai."

"She did say that she owes you 8-star chips." said Paige.

"And if not, well, we're still the team supreme. Right?" asked Joey.

"Right!" said the others.

"Ok, then. Move out." said Joey.

"Hmm..."

"I wonder how many duelists there are left on the island." said Bakura.

"They shipped a couple dozen home yesterday." said Joey.

"And I bet even more have been eliminated by now." said Tea.

"And some of them were really good players with powerful cards, too." said Yugi. "We could be next."

"I doubt it, Yugi." said Paige.

"Not a chance, Yuge." said Tristan. "Those other guys just wanted prize. You, Paige and Joey have a lot more at stake."
