Test of Creativity

Author's Notes: Well, my week in Iowa is over and I'm back. I'm glad for that as I missed home, yet I'm sad because that means I have to return to the worry of overusing my "Data Limit" and the pressures of my Koncepts Karate lessons. While I got the Black-Stripe Yellow Belt I wanted, I worry whether or not I should continue to level up. Perhaps to a Black-Stripe Blue belt?
So I was thinking about all the Yu-Gi-Oh I watched, and suddenly I wonder about the characters Reading/Writing Fan-Fictions about their adventures. This one will be a Multi-Chapter story, but each chapter will be a oneshot depicting all different characters reactions to certain stories I read that I love, and a few scenarios of my own testing how well they can deal with writing Fan-Fictions of their own.
To Daughter of Wisdom and Music: LOVED "Reading with the Spider Riders" This one is, sort of based on that story of yours. I myself don't have any Spider Riders stories of my own yet, but if I ever think any up, I'll try to let you know the title so you can write a chapter of them reading it.
Italics means thoughts, dreams, reading/writing Fan-Fiction and in Yugi and Yami's case: Telepathy.
Enough talk! *Throws dagger into Rare Hunter's chest*
Stage 1: Kaiba married Ishizu? The Spirit cares for Yugi
Kaiba Corp
Kaiba was working late into the night again, as he always seemed to do. This time, however, he was plagued by more than just his desire to defeat Yugi.
He'd had a strange revolation. While he barely ever slept, unless getting knocked unconcious during some crazy adventure, like when he'd tried to rescue Mokuba from Noah, he seemed to have a "Nightmare" of sorts. While it wasn't like the visions of his Ancient Egyptian Past, like during Battle City Tournament, it DID seem as real to him as those:
Kaiba's Vision:
He was standing in the Castle of Dark Illusions, like in his Virtual Adventure game. He was wearing the garb he saw himself wearing in the vision he saw during his duel with Yugi in the Battle City Finals, and carrying the Millennium Rod. But when he gazed up to see his tormentor, who he saw wasn't the Witty Phantom. He saw someone far worse.
"Wake up Seto," said a familiar drawling voice. "You know I was meant to be Preident of Kaiba Corp, not some ridiculous fool like you."
"What? Noah! How did you get inside my Virtual Adventure game?"
"That's none of your concern," Noah snarled, "at least not the thing you should be most worried about. Once the Mythical Dragon obliterates you, I'll take my rightful place as President of Kaiba Corporation. And then the Big Five will help me merge the company with Industrial Illusions, and Pegasus."
"You spoiled rotten brat! You'll never get away with this!"
His yelling was cut short by a growl from below. The Mythic Dragon had appeared and was readying to strike...
End of Vision
Kaiba shook his head.
Noah and Gozaburo are gone, and Pegasus was defeated by Yugi in Duelist Kingdom, he told himself, shaking his head.
"Seto?" asked a hoarse voice from the doorway behind him.
"What is it Mokuba?" Kaiba asked.
"It's late and you really need to get some sleep." Then something caught his eye. "Hey Seto!"
Kaiba turned and gazed at his computer. A web address caught his eye.
"Fan-Fiction? What the heck is that?" Kaiba clicked on the web link, and found a list of categories, including but not limited to; Movies, Books, Games, Comics, even Misc.
"Hmmm... Let me try something," Kaiba mused. He clicked the Search bar, typed in Yu-Gi-Oh, and clicked the magnifying glass icon.
There were stories about himself, Yugi, Dartz, and many others they knew.
"Next Generation?" Mokuba asked.
Kaiba clicked on the story and began to read:
Couples are Yugi/Tea, Joey/Mai, Tristan/Serenity
"That's cute," Kaiba said seeing the Yugi/Tea, Joey/Mai, Tristan/Serenity couples.
and Seto/Ishizu
"What?! They made it so I marry that Egyptian Future Nonsense nutcase?!" Kaiba slammed his fist onto the table, a loud crack was heard.
"We should read what's in there to see what happens. Please Seto?" Mokuba asked in a pleading tone of voice.
"Fine. I'll be back in a moment." And true to his word, he returned quickly with a bandaged hand and a soda for each of them. Then as they sat down to read, Kaiba mumbled: "This is going to be a long night indeed."

Yami was sitting on Yugi's bed while Yugi lay on his back under the covers, much the same way they did in part 3 of "Mind Game: Mai VS Marik" And very similarly to how he did in that episode, he spoke gently to Yugi.
"Yugi, you must sleep."
But Yugi was being troubled by something.
"I can't quite explain it Spirit; One minute it seems all right, then the next I get the feeling something bigger is going on."
Yugi got up, sat at his desk, turned the light on, and booted up the laptop he got from Mokuba as a present for all the trouble he and his friends had gone through to save Kaiba, or to help Kaiba save him. Each of Yugi's friends had a laptop of their own as well.
(Who would think he was sitting in the same place as he was the night he put the Millennium Puzzle together in the movie?)
"Hmmm. Now let's see..." Yugi connected to the web and typed Fan-Fiction in the Search Bar. Sure enough he found the website.
"What's this?" Yami asked, curious. Yugi held up his hand in an open 'Stop' gesture to shush him. Then Yugi clicked the Search bar, typed Yu-Gi-Oh, and pressed Enter.
There, two of the first stories to pop up, were "You Need My Help, And I Need Yours", and "Baby Tales", both were written by BlueStar29
"What kind of name is that?" Yami asked, scratching his head.
"The name you see them as on the site or any apps that let you read their stories I think," Yugi said, shrugging his shoulders.
Yami sat at Yugi's side and clicked the story.
Atem Darkling was a young man at the age of twenty-five. For being as young as he was, he made a great amount of money as a Game Designer for Nintendo.
"A Game Designer? For Nintendo no less. Hmmm..." Yami seemed rather impressed by this author's work thus far. They continued to read on, until they came across the part where he was walking in the rain, his car had gotten towed because he'd parked in a 'No Parking' zone, and he said: "Luck is just not on my side today."
"Well, I certainly disagree with that." Yami huffed. "Especially given the duels we've fought together; Crushing Pegasus with the Mind Shuffle, Defeating the Big Five twice; First with Kaiba's help summoning Dragon Master Knight, then when Joey helped us summon Dark Magician Knight, and even when we crushed Noah using all three of Kaiba's Blue-Eyes White Dragons."
"Sorry Yami," Yugi said, hanging his head. Yami smiled warmly and placed a hand gently on Yugi's shoulder.
"It's all right Yugi. It's just Fan-Fiction. This just goes to show there are people out there who believe in us. And while some of them might make stories that seem off, that's just them following their own hearts."
Yugi smiled and nodded. "Uh-huh, and we might even try our luck at that sometime. If you don't mind I mean."
"Not at all. Writing Fan-Fiction might be as fun as playing Duel Monsters." Yami chuckled to himself, gesturing with his hand that Yugi should continue.
"Well let's see what chapter two does." Yugi srolled down and clicked the Next Chapter button, and they began to read.
Kaiba Corp.
"Well, that was... weird..." Mokuba sweat dropped.
"Who do these people think they are to do that?" Kaiba fumed, rubbing his injured hand. For the sake of his little brother though, he looked for more stories, particularly stories where he crushed Yugi in battle.
"Hey Seto?" Mokuba asked.
"What's up kiddo?" Kaiba asked.
"Maybe we could write a few stories of our own?" Kaiba thought over the little boy's words.
"Hmmm. A story where I crush Yugi..." He looked through and clicked the "Sign Up" button.

"Well, here's the 'Sign Up' button," Yugi said as he pointed to the icon for Yami, who adopted a sly grin.
"Let's get started."
Oh wow. I am so good. What will Yugi and Kaiba's usernames be? Will Yugi create an account for Yami, or Kaiba for Mokuba? Will Joey have to resort to writing Fan-Fiction to defeat Kaiba in a duel? Oh goodness I LOVE Suspense! Lots of ideas please!
Cheers!
