*Leena and Chibi Yagi are sitting in the theatre with a whole bunch of other people*
Leena: *looks up at you* [whispering]: Oh hey! Glad you're here! Me and Chibi Yagi got tickets to see a play! *holds up tickets*
Chibi Yagi: It's called "Yu-Gi-Oh!'s A Christmas Carol"!
Leena: Yupyup, and the cast has PERSONALLY asked me to read the disclaimer for them. Yagi? Take it away!
Chibi Yagi: What?! *sigh* Fine..
Leena does not own ANY of the Yu-Gi-Oh characters, nor any real Anime chatacter what so ever. She also does not own the famous Christmas story: "A Christmas Carol", which this play is based on, nor the idea of making "A Christmas Carol" and cartoon/anime crossover.
Leena: Though everone's doing it, so I thought I'd join in! ^_^
Chibi Yagi: o.o; right. Anyway, she also does not own the theatre we're sitting in.
Leena: True...oh hey! The shows starting! Shh!
*lights dim*
Chibi Yagi: Enjoy the show!

Yugi: *walks onto the stage* Welcome one and all to this play: "Yu-Gi-Oh!'s A Christmas Carol"!
[More Applause]
Yugi: As some of you may know, this play was written by...um.....*reads little card in his hand* Charles Dickens! ^_^; Yup. A great story. We've changed a few parts of it though. Oh well. Anyway, I better get to the point. I'm the narrator of the story. ^_^ ok.
And now to begin the show! *walks off stage*
[Even More Applause]
*The scene is in a shop. Joey is dressed up in rags, sitting by a small fire. Just then Kaiba (who well-dressed, since he's playing Scrooge) walks onto the stage*
Ryou: *runs in* A Merry Christmas Uncle! God save you!
Kaiba: GAH! Don't sneak up on me like that!!!!!
Ryou: But I'm suppose to. It's in the script.
Kaiba: Oh. Urm... *clears throat* Bah! Humbug!
Ryou: Christmas a humbug, uncle! You don't mean that, I am sure.
Kaiba: I do, Merry Christmas! What right you have to be merry? What reason have you to be merry? You're poor enough.
Ryou: Come, then. What right have you to be dismal? What reason have you to be morose? You're rich enough.
Joey: BURN KAIBA!
Kaiba: [whispers]: It's in the script dumbass!!
Joey: Oops. o.o;
Kaiba: *grumbles then turns to Ryou* Bah! Humbug!
Joey: You already said that, Kaiba.
Kaiba: -_-;
Ryou: Don't be cross, uncle.
Kaiba: What else can I be? When I live in such a world of fools as this Merry Christmas! Out upon merry Christmas. What's Christmas time to you but a time for paying bills without money; a time for finding yourself a year older, but not an hour richer; a time for balancing your books and having every item in 'em through a round dozen of months presented dead against you? If I could work my will.
Joey: *yawns and looks at his watch*
Kaiba: *growls @ Joey* Every idiot *points to Joey* who goes about with ``Merry Christmas'' on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart. He should!
Joey: Hey!
Ryou: Uncle!
Kaiba: Nephew! Keep Christmas in your own way, and let me keep it in mine.
Ryou: Keep It! But you don't keep it.
Kaiba: Let me leave it alone, then. Much good may it do you! Much good it has ever done you!
Ryou: There are many things from which I might have derived good, by which I have not profited, I dare say. Christmas among the rest. But I am sure I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round -- apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin, if anything belonging to it can be apart from that -- as a good time: a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time: the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. And therefore, uncle, though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it has done me good, and will do me good; and I say, God bless it!
Joey: What?!
Ryou: Don't make me repeat it again!
Joey: Fine.
Kaiba: *looks at Joey* Let me hear another sound from you, and you'll keep your Christmas by losing your situation. You're quite a powerful speaker, sir, *turns back to Ryou* I wonder you don't go into Parliament.
Ryou: I know! It's so unfair! (OOPS) I mean... Don't be angry, uncle. Come! Dine with us tomorrow.
Kaiba: ...um.
Ryou: But why? Why?
Kaiba: Why did you get married?
Ryou: Because I fell in love.
Kaiba: Oh... *ahem* Because you fell in love! Good Afternoon!
Ryou: Nay, uncle, but you never came to see me before that happened. Why give it as a reason for not coming now?
Kaiba: Good Afternoon.
Ryou: I want nothing from you; I ask nothing of you; why cannot we be friends?
Kaiba: GOOD AFTERNOON.
Joey: Geez, Ryou. Stop making him repeat himself!!
Ryou: Script, Joey. Script.
Joey: Oh.
Kaiba: *sighs*
Ryou: I am sorry, with all my heart, to find you so resolute. We have never had any quarrel, to which I have been a party. But I have made the trial in homage to Christmas, and I'll keep my Christmas humour to the last. So A Merry Christmas, uncle!
Kaiba: Good Afternoon!
Ryou: And A Happy New Year!
Kaiba: *growls* GOOD AFTERNOON!!! Damnit, just leave already!
Ryou: Hmph. *walks past Joey and wishes him a Merry Christmas, then walks off stage*
Joey: *waves to Ryou*
Kaiba: There's another fellow. My clerk, with fifteen shillings a week, and a wife and family, talking about a merry Christmas. I'll retire to Bedlam.
Joey: You ain't old enough to reitre, Kaiba.
Kaiba: *glances @ Joey*
Joey: Oh, right. Script.
Kaiba: *sighs*
[Curtain closes and everone in the audience claps]
Yugi: *walks onto the stage* Well, that's it for the first part of our play! The next scene shall start in about 10 minutes! Use this time to use the bathroom!
__________________________________________________________________________
Leena: Well, that's it for chapter 1!
Chibi Yagi: Just to note, viewers, a lot of the lines in this scene were actually from the story "A Christmas Carol", which Leena also does not own.
Leena: Cause if I did, I'd be dead.
Chibi Yagi: Urm...yes.
Leena: Is it just me, or was Ryou the only one able to keep his lines straight?
Chibi Yagi: I don't think Joey knows that this is a play.
Leena: Ditto.
Chibi Yagi: Well, I don't know about you, but I need to use the bathroom!
Leena: Be my guest.
Chibi Yagi: *nods, hops out of his seat and runs out of theatre*
Leena: Well, part 2 will probably be coming soon, so until then, send in your reviews! I would appreciate them! Thanks!
