Dreams of power
Chapter 1:
It was another boring winter day in early January. Marik and Malik were lying on the couch flipping channels and yawning. They hadn't done anything interesting in about a week. Earlier that day Yugi had taken his millennium puzzle back from the two and now they were rather discouraged.
"Marik..."
"Yes?"
"I don't know if were ever going to rule the world... Not if we keep failing to steal Yugi's puzzle."
"I know... how long have we been trying to succeed in world domination?"
"I don't know... about a year and some months."
"Well, I think we need a new approach."
"Which is?"
"...I'll let you know as soon as I think of it." He changed the channel again.
"Ooh!" Malik sat up, "Leave it here, this is my favorite commercial!"
Marik put the remote down and they watched the Oscar Mayer Weiner advertisement.
Oh, I wish I was an Oscar Mayer Weiner! That is what I truly wish to be! 'Cause if I were an Oscar Mayer Weiner... Everyone would be in love with... Everyone would be in love with... Everyone would be in love with me!
"Yay!" Malik giggled, "I love that commercial! It fills me will such joy."
"You have problems."
"No, I don't!"
"What self respecting evil person would enjoy listening to little kids sing about wieners?!"
"Ha! You criticize me?! Who's the person that likes to watch that fat guy ride the mechanical horse out front of the grocery store, hmm?"
"It's funny when he falls off."
"Whatever."
Marik picked up the remote again and started going through the channels extremely fast.
"You can't even see which channels are going by."
"Yes, I can." Marik stopped, "See? The news."
"Since when do you watch anything but SpongeBob?"
"Since I wanted to. Now pipe down, I want to hear."
"Whatever."
They were watching something about the presidential election, and Malik was getting annoyed. "That's not fair!"
"What?"
"George Bush and John Kerry get all that attention, and get a chance to possibly run the country for another four years!"
"So, what's your point?"
"What did they do to disserve that?! I mean, were the ones that have to work almost everyday just to get a millennium puzzle."
"..."
"And what do they do? They talk about stupid stuff on T.V and have people vote them into office. It just ain't fair."
"I see your point."
"Well, you know what? I think they both should lose."
"Then who would win?"
"How should I know? It could be our neighbor for all I care... just as long as it isn't them. Bush has been here long enough..."
"And John Kerry's face looks like a foot."
"My point exactly. Just once... I wish someone good looking would get into office."
"Everyone there looks like a tractor ran over their heads."
"..."
"I mean, really. They don't even do a good job."
"..."
"And it would be so easy for someone to get up there and take control."
"..."
"Americans are easy to get on your side."
"..."
"Why, the next president might as well be-"
"Us!" Marik stood up.
"What?" Malik turned around and looked at him.
"You're a genius, Malik!"
"I am? I mean, of course I am! Why am I a genius, again?"
"We should run for president!"
"Excuse me?!"
"It would be so much easier to do this instead of fighting Yami and Yugi."
"But Marik!"
"No buts!"
"We don't know the first thing about running for president!"
"That's what they have libraries for."
"How are we going to get people to vote for us?"
Marik held out his millennium rod, "That's what these are for."
"Oh..."
"So, are ya with me?"
"Do I have a choice?"
"No."
"Okay then, let's do it."
"Great! You'll see, this'll be so much easier than going after the millennium puzzle."
"Why is it that I don't think so?"
"Because you're negative, Malik. That's why you'll be vice president."
"What?!"
"I thought of it."
"..." Malik sighed.
"Come on, let's go to the library."
"We got kicked out last time."
"Then, we'll be quieter this time. Okay?"
"Okay..."
"Good, off we go then."
