Of course when Joey made a bet with Yami Bakura - Atem knew this was going to be trouble. He tried to talk Joey out of it but - as hard headed as Joey is he won't listen to reason.
"Well you lose Joey - Giants won 7 to 3 A's." Bakura said pulling it up on the computer. That's when Shadow walked in.
"Hey guys what's going... on?" Yusei, Atem, Yugi (there apart), Jack, Kaiba glared her then Joey's way.
"Joey as much as I want to help... I can't sing." Yugi told him as Joey yelled;
"WHA! NO! I WAS SURE THE A'S WE'RE GUNNA WIN!"
"Okay... um... I don't know what going on but somebody." Shadow coughed looking to Atem way as he placed on a cheese smile then said; "Promised to come with the movie with me. And, we're almost running late." She raise a bow as the guys looked at Atem - he placed a grin on his face replacing the smile as Yami Bakura told Shadow;
"I'm sorry to say but your in this too..." He let out a dark laugh as Shadow sighed then growled;
"Joey what did you do?" He didn't answer as Shadow said;
"Okay... what do we have to do...?" Yami Bakura placed on a smile as he pulled up something on the computer.
"That." Everyone else looked over as Shadow let out a small scream.
"I know what your thinking. No - forget it! I'm not-"
"I'm sorry to say you have to choice in the matter Shadow... please no hard feelings but you should be yelling at Joey - not me." Yami Bakura told her - throwing a bag of something, which when she looked inside: her right eye twitched.
"Just - be glad I don't have a steel bat with me..." She snarled as he walked into the bathroom and slammed the door.
"Yugi... who are they...?"
"They're N'Sync. Broken up singing group by Justin Timberlake still sings." Yugi told Atem as Yusei cried;
"You want us to sing this!"
"Well I want you to put a card game spin on the song."
"I'm not going to sing! I'm the King of Games - Not the King of Singing!"
"Jack - your not King - we are." Yugi, Atem and Yusei told him as Jack snarled there way.
"Just go get changed." Yami Bakura told them handing them the same bag he handed Shadow. There heard a scream as Atem knocked on the door. Before he got a chance to say anything Shadow told him quickly:
"I'm fine - I'll meet you guys there. Just go." A deep frown appeared on Atem's face but he replied with a fine.
Yami Bakura clapped his hands and said a bit cheery;
"Go get chanced and down to the plaza we go."
At the plaza Atem and the rest wore a tight black leather shirt matching jeans with black shoes. Atem had the puzzle around his neck while Joey had the duel disk on his arm.
"Why am I wearing a dueling disk."
"It goes with the song. Once Shadow get's here we can begin." Shadow came up in a long coat and leather cowboy hat.
"I hate you all." Then she pointed at Joey; "Mostly you."
"Come out Shadow out of the jacket." Jack told her as she just shook her head,
"No. There's no way I'm coming out of this jacket." Jack and Yusei looked at each other as they glomped her to the ground taking off the jacket - Joey, Atem and Yugi were quick to pull them off as they saw her wearing a black shirt with short black shorts with heels boots. Her hair had nice ringlets - the hat was still on her head with makeup.
"Let's get this over with." Atem helped her up as crowd came around the hole plaza open area.
"I want you to welcome: Dark Royalty! Singing Dirty Game!" While Bakura was working up the crowd Shadow said;
"I'm guess we'll be doing some dance move so just follow me and just pray we're not going to mess up on the song." Usually she has some kind of words of: Don't worry will do fine, things along that lines but this time: She didn't even have hope for herself. That's when the music started to play as Yugi jump in front of them starting to sing;
Yugi:
Sick and tired of hearing
All these people talk about
What's the deal with this card game
And when's it gonna fade out?
The thing you got to realize
What we doing is not a trend.
We got the gift of strategy.
We gonna bring it till the end.
Shadow and Joey:
Come on now!
Yusei:

About the bike I drive
Atem:

Atem and Yusei:
All that matters
Is that you recognize

Yugi:
Now why you wanna try
To make a mockery of the type of thing

But I'm tired of feeling all
Around me animosity
Like I'm gonna die
Cuz I'm so fly
Shadow:

During the short break Shadow lead them threw a short dance as the crowd scream, sing, and even dancing there own dance as they brought Yugi and the gang got back in the verse.

They bowed to the crowd as the crowd cheer as the new swamed all over them as Yami Bakura just smile and said:
"Give another around to Dark Royalty!" Atem, Shadow, Yugi, Yusei and Jack turned to Joey and gave him: I'm going to kill you later... look.
A few weeks later the news still followed all of them around - trying to see if they were going to do anymore song or perform - Shadow couldn't take it anymore - she had a bat and was ready to kick butt but Atem of course - the only one; next to Yugi at times if she wasn't mad at Atem for some reason to go tell them off.
"Then what are we gunna do because I still mad - I don't even know if mad can even cover what I feel right now."
"Trust me - it got ten times worst." Yusei said - opening the blinds as the fangirl and new people came around: screaming like bloody murder. He let the shades down as they heard an: Awww...
"I don't think I can take it anymore..." Shadow said out loud - she look like she was going to say more but she cut her own self off.
"I blame you Joey." Jack said as Joey said:
"I said sorry about a thousand time! I didn't know we would become a hit after that one song."
"Excuse Joey! I don't want to hear it." Yugi told Joey - know this was a bit out of Yugi's character but he was mad - he couldn't have any time alone - just to even breath with someone down his neck about a autograph or a review from the news.
"Let's just break up." Shadow said out loud as everyone turned her way.
"What?" He was a bit confused and hurt as Shadow just smile.
"Let's break up the group band." She told everyone as everyone started to understand. Shadow when over the plan as Joey said;
"Why do I-?"
"Because your butt got us into this mess! Just be glad - I don't lock you in a room with me with a spike metal bat." She spat his way as the other guys looked away - just pretending they didn't hear it or see if for that matter.
"Well - will see you tomorrow." Yugi told them as he left, Atem and Shadow right after then Jack, Yusei and then Joey.
The next day they they meet at the plaza as Shadow said:
"Joey you jerk! I hate you!"
"Look - come on guys just if we just sign this deal-"
"We told you Joey! No!" Atem growled - looking a bit like a demon as everyone came around.
"You guys hog everything! Keep me some time in the spotlight!" Joey cried as Yugi snorted as Jack said;
"You don't even do anything! I'm done! I quit!" Jack said as the crowd gasp as he walked away. Shadow then walked up to Joey and slapped him hard across the face as she spat.
"Get yourself some other suckers - cause I'm tried of your games." She turned and left with Atem who put his arms around her waist and left as well.
"And, how dare you lie to the new press about that I'm your some kind of lackey! I quit! Call me back up when your the Joey I know and love." Yugi snapped Joey as Joey looked hurt as he walked away. Yusei just shook his head and told him.
"I quit." And with that he walked away. The crowd was in shock but when away when Joey just stared.
"Joey! It's it clear!" Shadow called from behind a building as he called;
"Yeah! And, ow! Why ya hit me so hard!"
"Because I wanted to do that every since you got us into that mess."
"Come on lets go grab a pizza or something." Yusei said as Atem said;
"Joey's paying for everything."
"WHAT!?"
"You heard - let's go." Shadow said with a dark smile as they all when over. Joey sighed and thought;
"Never again am I betting with Yami Bakura... over a baseball game - ever."
Me: That's the end! ^^
