"Knock it off will ya?" Yuma asks Astral as he wakes up and sits up groggily as he turns off the Tv. "Man, her laugh is frightening." Yuma clutches onto the remote tightly and lays down so he can go back to sleep. "You need to wake up." Astral says. "No I don't." Yuma replies turning his back to Astral. "Did you know there's a boy called The Sparrow, and that he's from a different world, just like me?" "Yeah he's from the planet Vortexia or something." Yuma replies. "Where is that?" Astral asks. "Leave me alone, I'm trying to sleep." "Yuma, please. I need to know more." "Fine, I'll turn it on." Yuma says desperate to sleep."

*Now the next day*

"I thought that class would never end!" Yuma says putting his arms behind his head.  "Crunchy Ice-cream taco here I come!" "We need to return to the house immediately." Astral says to Yuma and Yuma looks towards Astral really irritated. "Why is that? I have to tune in to "Watch The Sparrow's destiny continue to unfold." "Huh?" Yuma says looking to Astral wide-eyed. 

"If The Sparrow really arrived here through a dimensional vortex, then he might know about me and my missing memories." "You don't understand what Tv is do you? In the real world there isn't any Sparrow!" Before Astral can reply to Yuma's outburst Tori, Lulu, Shay, and Yuto all come out of the classroom. "Hey Yuma, did you hear?" 

Tori asks excitedly. "Hear what? Did something happen?" Taehyung asks confused. "The Sparrow is down by the seaport!" "They built a set, or a studio, or something down on South street." Yuma sighs loudly as he knows Astral will want to go. 

"Maybe we should take a look." Yuto says politely. "That Sparrow could save my day, any day! He is so cute and dreamy!" "We have to go, Yuma." Astral says looking at the boy pointedly but Yuma shakes his head. "No I think I'll go work on some dueling techniques." "Nice try." Lulu says as she grabs Yuma by his collar and he sighs not even trying to fight anymore.

When they reach the seaside crowds of girls are gathered outside of the set and are all cheering waiting for a glimpse of The  Sparrow if possible. "I love you, Sparrow!" Tori calls out blushing thinking of the boy she has watched on Tv. "Are we the only guys here?" Yuto asks. "Well I'm sorry to break it to you Yuto but do you see any guys screaming out how much they love The Sparrow?" Shay asks sarcastically and Yuto laughs lightly but it trails off. 

"I wish we could see him..." Tori says. "Hey we can try and get through those stage guys." Yuto says then while Yuto and Lulu distracted the stage guy's by throwing rocks at them and then running off then they all slip in and wait for Lulu and Yuto. "Phew that was close." Lulu says as her and Yuto slip in and lean against the doors.  

"Whoa, it's so cool. He probably walked down this hallway, right where I'm walking. I'm never taking these shoes off! You hear that that's his voice!" Tori says excitedly as the group all peeks into the door. Then they all creep in and hide behind a prop large enough to hide all of them. "Whoa... It's him!" Tori says still blushing as she looks at the boy. 

 "He's a little shorter then I imagined." Shay says then while the Sparrow recites his lines. "Furious Max was that who I was sent here to battle. Yuma one of Furious Max's minions are about to grab you." "Huh? Astral this is only a costume." "Costume?" He asks looking at the elaborate 'costume'

"Hey Yuto take a picture of me with this." Yuma says patting down the costume but Yuma leaned against the costume too much as it hit a button and suddenly the costume Yuma was now tightly holding onto was in the air. The costume swings around and Shay scoffs looking up but Lulu starts to laugh while Tori hides her face in her hands. The costume which is hooked onto the line is going so fast that Yuma's deck falls onto the floor and scatters in front of The Sparrow. 

Yuma then screamed as he hit into one of the sets knocking it down it was just five minutes later a security guard started to yell at the group. "You kids are trespassing on a closed set!" "Kids?" Shay says balling up his fists but Lulu touches Shay's arm gently. "Shay.... Don't worry about it." "We're going to the security room and calling your parents." They all sigh and groan as they walk down the hallway. "Not you, you're coming with me." Yuma and Astral both look towards The Sparrow.

They end up in The Sparrows personal room. "Is this yours? Because I know it isn't mine." The Sparrow says holding onto Yuma's deck carrier with his deck inside. "Nah, mine's right here in my bag." Yuma looks into his bag only to see it's not there. "Whoa! It's missing! I musta dropped it while I was flyin' around!" "The heart and soul of a duelist? And you just drop it?" Astral asks shaking his head. 

"Unbelievable." "Anyway thanks for returning my deck." "No need to thank me. Though I do have a small request." "What is it?" Yuma asks. "I would like to challenge you to a lavish duel!" "Oh awesome, you like to duel?" "What do you say we duel right now?" Yuma asks The Sparrow. "You mean it?" He asks happily, smiling but then he clears his throat. "I meant to say... Are you sure?" "Yeah! The name's Yuma by the way! It's really cool to meet you." 

Then Astral starts to talk to Yuma and while they argue a spider goes down in front of The Sparrow still on a string and he screams horrifically as if he has seen a ghost he screams more and starts to whimper as he hides under his dressing room's table. "What's wrong?" Yuma asks while he still whimpers he starts to point to the spider but refuses to look at it. "That little spider?" Yuma asks

"I can't even... I can't look! I can't..." He starts to whimper again. "Are you joking?" "Do I look like I'm joking? Just please, do something about that thing. Get rid of it." He say's basically on the verge of tears as his body still shakes. Yuma took the spider and blew it out of the window. "It's gone now." Yuma remarks. "That was terrifying. Thanks for helping." 

"It's okay but I thought The Sparrow was supposed to be fearless yet you fear spiders?" Taehyung asks while Yuma laughs. "I'm not a hero." The Sparrow says as he takes off his mask. "I'm just an average middle-school kid from the 'burbs." Then Nelson starts to flatten his hair towards how it really looks. "I like video games and comic books, and pizza, I'm not some monster busting freedom fighter. I mean, I can't even talk to girls without getting nervous. But it's all about keeping the fans interested 24/7 though so, I had to keep up the act at all times."

"And lets be honest, it's not like anyone wants to know the real me." Nelson says sadly. "That's kind of a bummer." Yuma says. "I think lots of people would like to know the real you." This makes Nelson look up happily and smile. "You think so? Thank you! You're the first person who's ever said that to me." Then Nelson takes Yuma's hand as if he's about to shake it. 

"Okay, um hang on. I'm gonna try this out... It is nice to meet you, my name is Nelson." "That wasn't too hard right?" Yuma says and Nelson shakes his head. "There you are!" The Sparrow's mother cries out. "Who is this, Nelson?" 

"Mom! Uhhh..." "That's your mom?" Yuma asks. "You're not supposed to speak to anyone except for authorized personnel." "I know that mom, but uh..." "But nothing! If people found out what kind of a kid you really are, the illusion of The Sparrow would be shattered! And it's not just about you. Think about how many people depend on you being The Sparrow. You're part of something much bigger than yourself Nelson. You need to remember that."

"I'm going have to ask you to leave." Nelsons mother says to Yuma. "This isn't cool!" Yuma says as his mother pushes him out of the room. "I'm sorry, Yuma!" "Nelson we're gonna have that duel someday but first you need to stop letting everyone tell you who to be." "I can't. The Sparrow is more important then I am. Nelson Andrews doesn't matter.
