On the fourth day of Christmas my muses gave to me,
Four Toon World Monsters,
Three Ishtar Siblings,
Two Kaiba brothers,
And Atemu in a tree.
Pegasus eyed the last of his creations with a jovial grin, scanning it into his computer and loading the image into the animating program. He could very well imagine the look of horror on dear Kaiba boy's face when he got this picture; the expression would be one worth dying for, he knew.
Pegasus paused at that thought, looking to the image on the computer. Hmmm…perhaps including a camera with the emails he was sending out would not be a bad idea. He would be able to catch that perfectly disgusted look that would appear on Kaiba boy's face if he did that; besides, he was curious as to the reactions of the recipients of the emails he was sending out.
A few expert clicks and a few added special effects later, the silver-haired man had finished the image that would be sent along in the email and he added it to the list of images waiting to be sent out. It only took him seconds to address the three separate pictures to their proper owners before sending them off; his email inbox received an email as well, and the man cheerfully opened the new mail.
CopyCat instantly popped out of a gift wrapped box the moment the email opened, holding a sign in its ballooned paws that read, "Happy Holidays!" on it, and Pegasus let out a chuckle of delight. Excellent; the programming animating this image had acted perfectly.
"My my, Pegasus," he said aloud, smiling fondly at his creation. "You've certainly outdone yourself this year."
"Ishizu?"
"Yes, Marik?"
"…You're seeing it too, correct?"
"Yes."
"And you, Rishid?"
"Most unfortunately."
"So then I'm not dreaming?"
"Again, most unfortunately."
"…Is there any special reason that Pegasus felt like turning the Winged Dragon of Ra into a sign-wielding cartoon, complete with a Santa hat?"
"I believe that this email doubles as a thank you to me for hiding the god cards, Marik."
"I do have to admit that there is something oddly appealing about it. It must have taken him time to come up with this, and even more to animate it. We will have to thank him."
"I know that, Rishid…but Pegasus better hope that Ra doesn't exact vengeance. I can't imagine Ra letting him go unscathed for this."
Noa did not even have to look at the computer to know Seto had gotten an email from Pegasus—the scowl on his face spoke louder than words. However, he did not know the context of the email that his brother had gotten. It had been enough for Seto to construct a very powerful virus and return the email to Pegasus with a vicious jab of the mouse.
The only clue he got as to the reason behind the virus was when Seto darkly muttered something about the Blue Eyes White Dragon being Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.
Yugi couldn't help but smile when he noticed the little Kuriboh bouncing gaily on the screen. It had been quite the shock when he had seen the Toon Dark Magician and the Toon Dark Magician Girl leap from the festively decorated box, but it was a pleasant one to see; he knew Atem would either be amused by the sight of his cartoonized trademark monsters or displeased, but in either way he was glad for the email.
He frowned when he noticed the clock. Atem had not yet come back from the hardware store and the Egyptian had left forty-five minutes ago; Christmas traffic must really be abysmal, he concluded as he went back to sweeping up the shop.
What Yugi did not know was that Atem had never made it past the end of the street before he had been treed by yet another horde of fangirls.
