Chapter Title: Let's Eat Pocky
Notes: Pocky is a biscuit stick coated with chocolate, and later other flavors such as strawberry. Men's pocky has dark (bittersweet) chocolate and is a more 'mature' version of Pocky. Hello Kitty is a fictional character produced by the Japanese company Sanrio, and is used in a lot of merchandise.

Ruka ripped open her small box that read 'Strawberry Pocky'. It was her favorite flavor. She passed a box of plain chocolate Pocky to Aki. She turned to Rua. He was already inhaling a box of giant chocolate Pocky. The two Signer women, plus one, were waiting in the boy's garage with a small stack of Pocky between them. Aki raised one of the biscuit sticks dipped in chocolate to her face. She was about to eat it when Jack, Crow, Yusei, and Bruno walked in.
"We couldn't find that spare part at the…what is that?" Bruno asked curiously, spotting the small tower of Pocky in front of his friends.
"Pocky, obviously," answered Aki as she lifted one of the boxes-Green Tea Mousse Pocky-up so the amnesiac could see it.
"Where'd you guys get so much?" interjected Yusei, placing his toolbox on the counter. Rua answered.
"Ruka is a Pocky fan. She has at least one box of each kind of Pocky," He explained this as he cast aside his now empty box of Pocky and picked up a new one. He continued, "But yesterday, our parents came home for a day before leaving on another business trip, and told her to clean out the stash some. Ruka has pretty much every kind of Pocky flavor."
"Try this one, guys." Ruka held up a box of Hello Kitty Pocky to Yusei's face. She explained, "It's just strawberry flavor. I think it's the best, but marble tea Pocky is good too." She turned to Aki. "You might like that flavor, Aki-neesan."
Crow grabbed the box of Hello Kitty Pocky from Yusei's hands and started to rip it open. Suddenly, Jack smacked the small pink box out of his friend's hands. He shouted "Have you three no shame? Grown men eating cat Pocky! What we need…," Jack plunged his hand into the Pocky stack and produced a sleek, black box of…
"Men's Pocky!" He announced triumphantly. Bruno, Crow, and Yusei stared at him blankly. Jack tore open the box and placed one stick of 'Men' Pocky into each of his friends' hands. He pulled out a stick for himself and they all simultaneously bit into their piece of Pocky. There was a moment of silence, then…
"What the heck? Why's it bitter?" complained Crow, a look of disappointment on his face.
Yusei added, "I'll admit, I think it would be better if it were sweet…"
Bruno confessed, "I don't really like it that much…"
Jack told them, "You wimps. You can't stick to strawberry Pocky all your life; you need to man up." He bit into his Pocky piece defiantly.
"Whatever," sighed Crow, throwing away his half eaten piece of Pocky and picking up the Hello Kitty Pocky box. He opened it up and stuffed a piece of the sweet, pink, Pocky in his mouth. Yusei and Bruno followed suit. Soon all of Team 5Ds, except for Jack, were eating the strawberry Pocky.
Rua coaxed, "Aw, come on, Jack. Just because you're a man doesn't mean you have to eat men's Pocky. The strawberry flavor is better."
Jack turned away with a "Humph!" and stomped up the stairs yelling, "Real men don't eat cat Pocky!" He slammed his bedroom door.
Aki sighed "What's his deal? Men's Pocky is just dark chocolate, he knows that, right?" The others shrugged.
He could still hear them downstairs, eating their un-manly Pocky. He stared unhappily at his box of bittersweet 'Men's Pocky'. He looked around the room quickly to make sure no one had followed him, and reached his hand into his coat pocket.
He opened the small pink box of Pocky he had snuck into his coat. The white, cartoon kitty stared up at him, as if to challenge him to eat the un-manly treat inside. Casting aside the black box of bittersweet Pocky, he began to eat the strawberry coated biscuit sticks.
"It's good," he sighed. He hoped nobody would find out that Jack Atlas, the former Duel King, ate strawberry Hello Kitty Pocky.
Author's Note: And so the gang eats Pocky this time. I'm sorry for people who don't know what Pocky is ;^^ Writing this makes me hungry. I'm actually not a big Pocky person, though I might become one after writing this. A good friend of mine LOVES Hello Kitty, so I put that as the starring Pocky. It's really just strawberry flavored. I actually looked up different types of Pocky for this. When I stumbled across "Men's Pocky", I got this story idea. I actually have nothing against dark chocolate; I love it! I hope everyone seems in-character in this. Please review, no flames please!
