Chapter 7 –the first virtual world

Clare was sitting in an old movie theater that had a big stage in front of it. The movie playing was "Dirty Dancing." She looked to her right, and Seto Kaiba was sitting there with his usual sour puss face.

"I can dance better than that." He said in an annoyed tone of voice.

"Yea right, you don't even smile, how can you do that?" Clare said also annoyed.

"I'll show you." He said getting up. The movie suddenly turned into "Mask of Zorro," at the point where Alijandro Murrieta was doing the Tango with Elena. Kaiba stuck out his hand and Clare took it smirking as if he was not going to do anything special. Suddenly they were both dressed as the characters (which was odd with Kaiba without the trench coat) and in the same room. They did every move exactly as it was in the movie. At the end, Kaiba was in an intimate stance with Clare, and they were back in the movie theater in the middle of the stage with no one else in the room. They were about to kiss...

"CLARE!" Sam said yelling at the top of her lungs, "We gotta go or we'll be late for school!"

Clare groaned as she slowly got up to get out of bed. She went to the table near her bed, and put her arm cuff on, and than her uniform. They finally got to school, and it was amazing that they weren't late. Clare didn't say one word about her dream of Kaiba. She was relieved that Fabian decided to live at Kaibacorp with his brothers instead of going back to Domino High. That night, there was a storm.

"Put it on my tab Gramps." Joey said.

"Wait... dejavo..." Clare said...

"Your tab's past due Joey." Grandpa said.

"Than put it on Tristan's" Joey said.

"Oh god, cue Mokuba..." Sam said.

At that moment, the door burst open, and Mokuba showed up.

"At least Ninja-rat ain't here." Clare said to herself.

"Please, please help me..." Mokuba said weakly.

They brought Mokuba in, and he told the story, but with one key difference; Fabian was an idiot and decided to get himself captured as well. After the story, they all ran to Kaibacorp. Clare didn't like the idea of running, but she did it anyway. When they arrived at the place, they found that they did not have three, but five pods.

"Oh, I guess who's gonna go in there huh?" Clare said sarcastically.

"I guess me, you, Joey, Yugi and Mokuba." Sam said.

"Hey, what about me!" Tristan said.

"You don't even know how to duel." Miercoln said.

"What..." Sam said under her breath.

"Clare can't stand this." She said whispering.

"Alright, let's do this! Take care of by beautiful bod Tristan!" Joey said.

"Yea, whatever." Tristan said.

They all went under, and were now on their way to save Kaiba. They began walking though the grave yard.

"It's real enough for me." Joey said as zombies arose from the ground.

"I got it!" Miercoln said. She wanted to save as much life points for everyone as possible. "I us SHIELD AND SWORD Spell card! And Summon my only Blue Eyes White Dragon!" she said as she switched their attack points to zero, and destroyed them all with her Blue Eyes.

"Show off." Sam said snickering.

"Come on lets go on." Yugi said.

They than went on again. They followed the fairy, and went to town.

"So, what do we do now?" Yugi asked them.

"Well, we win those chickens so we can go across the desert." Clare said now that Miercoln made her show again.

"Their Niwatoris Clare." Sam said giggling at the fact that it was just like Joey and Mai later on.

"Whatever." Clare said in a bad mood because of Miercoln yelling at her for not being there with her friends.

They went to the coliseum, and Joey got the mask and cape.

"... But so will the champ when he sees the skills that I have."

Clare giggled, and snickered "or she..."

The duel went on, and than they de-masked themselves. Clare jumped out of her seat, and ran to hug her sister.

"Joey... Clare! Sam, Yugi, and Mokuba, what are you doing here?"

"He he... she said Joey first..." Clare said to Sam secretly. As usual, they did their talk, Mai got the Niwatori, and they all ran away. They rode the Niwatoris across the dessert.

"Their kinda cute." Clare said.

"Yea, they are." Mai said.

They than ran into the giant worm, and the pretty red eyes beat it. They than were on their way to the temple.

"Go Drumsticks!" Joey yelled.

"Uh, guys, Joey named his chicken." Mai said.

"It's a Niwatori Mai!" Joey said.

"Whatever." Mai retorted.

"Oh my god..." Sam said grinning.

They went on, and arrived at the temple.

"Come on; let's go before we lose all three of the Kaiba brothers!" Joey said.

"Aw, wouldn't that be a tragedy..." Clare said under her breath.

They ran in after Mokuba. They got to the maze, and Joey ran to meet the girl who screamed.

"Watch where you're going Joey, god, he'd do anything to meet at girl." Mai said. "I guess he realizes I'm really out of his league."

Clare and Sam burst out giggling.

"What?" Mai asked bewildered.

"Nothing sis..." Clare said between laughs.

They than ran from the Lybereth tanks, and followed the fairy to the princess, saved her, etc.

"Alright, I know how to beat this guy, I'm using my Great Sphinx Teleia, and take away 500 of my life points so that I can make it have 6000 attack points, and it's done." Clare said.

"Great going, now you only have 1500 life points." Sam said to Clare

"It doesn't matter. I hate it here"

The story went on as usual, and they were now all getting ready to go to fight.

"Wow!" Clare said, "I look like Xena!"

"Whatever" Sam said snickering.

Finally, Mokuba was taken instead of the princess, and they were on their way on the flying machine, and ready to save the Kaibas. The whole battle sequence took place, and than Yugi had that dramatic scene where the fairy died for him. Finally the battle was over, and they were saving Kaiba, Fabian, and Mokuba. They got past everything, and finally found Kaiba and Mokuba.

"Oh, it's you." Clare said annoyed as ever. One would say it was just Clare, but than again, the dream she had the night before did not help much.

The usual things went on, and than the five headed dragon came in. Clare summoned her blue eyes, Kaiba his, and Fabian his. They reluctantly fused them so that they would have Blue Eyes Ultimate. Miercoln soon took over, and told Mai to summon Harpy's Pet Dragon instead because of the only Dragon's rule. The usual stuff goes on, and even though there's an Ultimate Blue Eyes, it couldn't defeat the Legendary Dragon. After Joey was done, Sam went against it herself with her blue eyes, but it didn't work, and it defeated her. Than Mai was defeated, leaving Kaiba, Yugi, Fabian, and Miercoln. After Kaiba became stubborn again, she let Clare take over, and she yelled at him...

"You selfish, pompous son of a bitch! If you don't listen to Yugi, Their gonna take Mokuba. Now let him combine with our Ultimate Dragon, so that we can win early."

"She's right; we need him to help us." Fabian said.

"Fine." Kaiba said. And than they combined the dragons, and his soldier, and they finally beat the legendary dragon.

They woke up in front of everyone, and finally got Mai, Joey, and Sam back.

"Hey, no fair! You helped beat the Dragon!" Sam said.

Clare chuckled. "It helps to have a Blue Eyes. You used Red Eyes."

"Yes, and you were very sexy...ow!" Fabian began, but Miercoln kicked him where it hurts.

"Don't do that again idiot." Kaiba said suddenly. Everyone stared at him, but than he saw the exit portal, and started to leave.

"Hey asshole, say thank you for a change!" Clare yelled at him.

"I...I didn't want your help." Kaiba said "But I will offer you, Yugi and my brother gratitude. We made a good team."

"He should not be in the same sentence as me." Clare said under her breath feeling repulsed that he made a compliment for her. They all left. Clare was walking around waiting for everyone to come back after they went to the bathroom, when Kaiba came out of the bushes. And dragged her away.

"I wanted to say thank you..."

"Tell it to Yugi and Joey first." Clare said angrily. "If it was up to me, I wouldn't even go in there to help."

"Why Wheeler?"

"Because JOEY was the one who said we had to rush to save all of you. And you ain't the least bit grateful." Clare said angrily, "Now let me go, I have better things to do than hang around you."

"Come on, you really don't mean that with those losers..."

"Their NOT losers! Their FRIENDS! And believe it or not, if you weren't too arrogant, they'd be yours so you weren't so much a loser..." but before Clare could rant any more, Kaiba grabbed her, and kissed her. She struggled, but than gave in. It was not until she heard them calling for her that she pushed him away.

"You'll never have me as long as you're as you are now KAIBA." Clare finished as she went to her friends. Obviously, her dream meant more than fantasy. It means a subconscious love for Seto Kaiba... but that will come out in time...
