Disclaimer: first one of the story! Nope, don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!

A/N: Alright! Looks like we're at the start! This may be the only thing posted tonight, 'cause I really do need my sleep, but if I can post the REAL first chapter, I totally will. Just be patient with me ^o^ Dark Crusade took a lot out of me! (By the way, I would like to thank all those that reviewed on the three Epilogues of Dark Crusade! You guys are great!)

*Egypt's Robin Hood will be based on the Disney version X) just a heads up! But they'll still be, you know, THEM. They won't be animals or anything. I'm basically just taking the idea.

This story is dedicated to Khemet- Egyptian vampire and RedRosePetal for giving me the idea(s)! Sincere apologies to Khemet- Egyptian vampire for neglecting her! I'm such an idiot X|

So without further ado, let me introduce our cast. Let me know if the format for the story is a little wacky. It's experimental.


CAST

Let us begin by saying that I, Anevay, will be the narrator of this story.

So in other words, I have been cast as the Rooster in Robin Hood. Yes, that's right.

Here in the review room (now the cast room. No, they don't get individual dressing rooms), we have the cast of Yu-Gi-Oh, ready to be introduced at the motion of a finger. The review room is, in other words, my head, although I do have a couch for them to squish on. They rolled their eyes at me, because I could make the couch bigger, but how else am I going to get them to listen to me? I don't own these guys, you know.

Alright, no more babbling, here we go.

As our main protagonist and hero, cast as Robin Hood, we have Pharaoh Atem.

"This ought to be interesting," Atem said, squished between Mana and Yugi. "I don't believe I have ever seen this format before."

"No," I agreed, "You haven't. It's sort of like…" I paused to think, because honestly, my head was a bit scrambled, but then, what else was new? "A play? Yeah, sure, we'll go with that. Sort of like a play, or movie script… you know, I'll just leave that up to you," I said dismissively, "Let's move on."

As the beautiful, virtuous lover of Robin Hood, otherwise known as Maid Marian, we have my favorite female character: Mana.

"You're the rooster!" Mana immediately exploded upon her turn to speak. She quickly slapped her hand over her mouth, "Whoops! Sorry, Anevay! Just slipped out!"

I rolled my eyes, "Whatever, Mana. I don't care. The rooster is cool. He's the wise guy who knows everything that's going on, and that kind of defines an author so…"

"Anevay," Ally sang, suddenly springing into the room (she does that), "You're rambling again."

"Right, sorry. Thanks, Al."

Next we have our two characters playing the part of Little John: Yugi and Mahad.

"Why are there two of us?" Yugi wondered in confusion. "Little John is one character." Mahad nodded in agreement.

I made a face. "Oh, be quiet. I'm the author. Using two characters as the general, um, idea of Little John suits the story best, okay? Robin Hood and Yu-Gi-Oh! don't mix well."

Anyway—as Prince John, our prime villain and slightly against the character of Prince John, our favorite Thief King: Bakura.

Bakura smirked. He was seated in the farthest corner of the couch by himself, arms folded and legs crossed. Everyone else was squished on the opposite side of the sofa, trying to avoid him, thus the fact that they were squished anyway. It wouldn't matter if they had a bigger couch or not. "I'm honored that you're finally using me as your prime villain," he sneered.

I eyed him carefully. "Well, I had to make a list of Robin Hood foils, and Robin Hood's foil was either Prince John or the Sheriff of Nottingham, so it was either going to be you or Seto playing Prince John since you're both Atem's foils, and I just couldn't use Seto because I like him too much…" I trailed off cautiously, aware that I was treading on dangerous ground. "And anyway, you're a bad guy. It works out better that way. Plus, Robin Hood's real foil would probably be the Sheriff of Nottingham, and Atem's foil is probably more Seto, while you and Mahad are more of foils like Prince John and Little John (hence the related names) and Yugi's is Kaiba…" I paused uncertainly, "Which I'm still trying to figure out, but I'm not going to worry about it."

Bakura yawned. The others were looking at me like I needed to shut up, and I realized I had been rambling again. "Are you quite done?" wondered the thief. I nodded nervously, so he smirked in a satisfied sort of way.

Next, randomly and very funnily—we have our as our nervous little know-it-all and not very helpful assistant to Prince John, Sir Hiss, played by Bones. I know, random, but he was best suited for the role. Bones?

Bones was situated uncertainly in the space between Bakura and the others. "I'm still not sure why I'm here," he confessed.

"Just because," I said, waving a hand, "I need someone to play Sir Hiss and I couldn't think of anyone else to do it. If anyone has any suggestions, we just might let Bones here off the hook."

Bones nodded eagerly, eyes darting towards the sneering thief. "Please."

As Friar Tuck, the preacher, man of the church, short-tempered and always doing good, we have Shimon. Although his 'man of the church' and 'preacher' title will be used differently—like I said, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Robin Hood don't mix very well.

Shimon wiggled in apparent excitement. "Just as long as I'm not called the fat friar," he said pointedly, trying to remain strict and failing.

"Sure, sure," I replied airily, earning a wary glance from the old vizier.

As Lady Kluck we have three different characters. I may be breaking all the rules for one character here, but really, there wasn't much else I could do. For the comedy we have Tsuki, and for women for Mahad and Yugi we have Tea and Isis. You'll see how that works.

The three girls just shook their heads at me. Tsuki was grinning. "I'm not complaining. I get to be the comedy," she grinned.

I raised my eyebrows. "Well Robin Hood is mostly a comedy/romance, and that won't work if all we have are serious characters hanging around. Atem is going to have to have a better sense of humor."

Atem sat up indignantly. "I have a sense of humor," he frowned.

"Yeah," I agreed easily, "You have a sense of humor, but not like Robin Hood does. He can joke about danger. You can't. Then again, neither can Yugi or Mahad," I sighed, "This is going to be difficult."

"I'll say," Ally agreed cheerfully, lying on the floor with hands behind her head.

For the honorable Sheriff of Nottingham, we have Bandit Keith cast for that part. Of course, we could also have Seto if someone wants to fight for that idea.

Bandit Keith looked outraged. "No way! I want this part!"

I sighed. "This is exactly why I didn't want to cast you."

Seto looked uninterested. "Whatever."

Cast as the two dodo-birds (whatever they are), Nutsy and Trigger, we have our two comic reliefs': Joey and Tristan.

Joey bounced up and down in his spot, fists clenched in anticipation. "I love this idea!"

Tristan was grinning, and he and Joey high-fived eagerly. "You ready for this, Joey?"

"Hecks yes!"

I pursed my lips. "Yeah, that was probably a good pick. It was a contest between you two or Tsuki and Hikari. Girls or boys," I shrugged.

"No way!" Joey said, pounding his fists into his palm, "We'll prove that we're meant for this part!"

"I look forward to that," I smiled warily. That was never a good idea.

In other characters, we have for the part of Skippy, the bunny who's Robin Hood's little protégé, Leon.

Leon waved with a smile.

For our secondary, background just-as-important characters that don't come in as much—sorry guys—Aknamkanon has been cast as King Richard, Ryou as Toby (the timid turtle boy in Robin Hood. Love ya, Ryou), Professor Arthur Hawkins as Otto (the dog with the broken leg), Serenity as that weird bunny girl that hangs around with Skippy (sorry Serenity), and Rebecca as the really little bunny that never gets what she wants. I don't know their names. Whoops.

The other characters you will probably see as characters not cast in Robin Hood are: Hikari, Seto, Shada, Karim, and others, depending.

The cast of Yu-Gi-Oh looked at me like I was crazy.

"That's your introduction?" Atem asked uncertainly.

I frowned, "Yeah. What? I liked it…"

"Well of course you liked it," Bakura piped up. "You're the writer. But what about us?"

"What, you guys don't like it?" I demanded, temper rising now. They quickly shook their heads. I huffed and folded my arms, "That's what I thought."

So, there you are, your introduction to the cast of Egypt's Robin Hood.

Hopefully, you'll stick around to read more. Although, if you don't like vaseshipping, I wouldn't blame you for turning away, but I do hope you'll give it a chance and keep track of this. If I can pull it off, it should go over well.

Hopefully. Fingers crossed.


Only one thing to do now…

Review!

Let me know what you think XP I could really use some constructive criticism on this one. Next update should be tomorrow. I don't think I have any plans, so that should work out alright.

Anyway, don't try to eat hard peeps (those sugar marshmallows shaped like chicks and bunny's) they're really hard and don't taste very good. Unless you roast them over a fire—then they're good ^o^
