Little Kuriboh has my permission for a dramatic reading. And now, once again, it's time for sailorblaze reads your comments!
Azarath101: THANKS! That's probably true. The ones in this chapter probably aren't going to be as funny, but I'll try...
Baka Red Rabbit-chan: THANKS! Yes, but Frank probably won't get any pity from our 'protagonists'. And yes - they'll probably become reoccuring.

It had been two days since Bakura had been Mind Crushed by Yami. As the Marikmobile pulled up into the parking lot for Target, it was obvious that there was tension in the air. Marik was still angry at Bakura for leaving him in the checkout stand, but it was obvious that there was more to be done at Target.
"Number 19: Challenge other customers to duels with tubes of gift wrap. We're both going to do this, in case either of us have another run-in with the Pharoah," Bakura informed Marik as the two walked into Target, and eventually found the gift wrapping. Both took out two long tubes of gift wrap. Bakura immediately shuddered, as he saw that he had pulled out a My Little Pony themed gift wrapping tube. Marik, on the other hand, found gift wrap that was just red.
"Now, Bakura," Marik said, "Let's go find ourselves some worthy opponents!" The two split up, walking towards opposite ends of the store. Bakura eventually ran into Joey, who was making sure that no one would thwart him this time in the attempt to get Serenity the My Little Pony playset. Suddenly, he turned around, and Bakura was standing there.
"Hello, bloody furry," Bakura greeted, trying to sound as intimidating as possible, "I would like to challenge you to a lightsaber battle!" Bakura then pressed a button that immediately cued the Star Wars theme. At first, Joey was scared, until he remembered that he had a shopping cart. Before Bakura knew it, Joey was chasing him through Target.
On the way, Bakura stopped to catch his breath. Then, he witnessed a scene between the Pharoah and Customer Service. Yami was pounding his hand on the desk, screaming, "What do you mean, I can't have a refund? I did not pay 70 dollars for an empty wrapper!"
"I'm sorry, kid," said Ms. Boorin (pronounced Boring), the customer service woman, "If you read our policy, it says -"
MIND CRUSH!
Then, however, Joey caught up, and Bakura was forced to pick up the My Little Pony gift wrap, and was about to whack Joey on the head with it, when Joey realized that the gift wrap was My Little Pony themed.
"Perfect!" Joey declared, "Dis gift wrap is just what I need!" So, Joey snatched the gift wrap, and walked to the cash register. Bakura sighed, and went to find Marik. He soon found Marik hitting Seto Kaiba on the head with the gift wrap.
Then, Kaiba realized something. "You know what," he yawned, "I'm too rich to deal with this." So he stomped out of Target, towards his Blue Eyes White Dragon Jet.
Bakura, who was cursing under his breath, crossed out Number 19, and read, "Number 20: Set up a concert of singing hamster dolls. Get your friends and turn them on all at the same time. Then act like a conductor. Since we have no friends with us, we'll just have to hook them all up to a machine."
And indeed, they did. Marik soon took his place in front of the singing hamster dolls, pulled out a pen, and yelled, "Ready, Bakura?"
Bakura pressed a button that turned on all of the singing hamster dolls at once. Then, Marik started waving the pen in a back and forth motion. Bakura crossed out Number 20, and sat back to enjoy the concert of the singing hamster dolls.
Once the dolls ended on their own, Bakura read, "Number 21: Make up nonsense products and ask newly hired employees if there are any in stock, i.e., 'Do you have any Shnerples here?' And there's that new bloke over there."
Indeed, Frank the Gullible Target Employee was approaching, in order to clean up the singing hamster dolls. Just before he could get over there, Marik ran in front of him, and asked, "Excuse me, but do you have any friggin' Shnerples? I just love Shnerples!"
Frank thought, and answered, "Let me see if there are any in stock." Marik then followed Frank, until he reached the grumpy manager, Bill. Frank asked, "Excuse me, Bill, but this kind sir wants to know where the Shnerples are."
Soon, Bill started screaming at Frank, going on about how gullible he was. Marik laughed, too. Then, he went back to Bakura, who crossed off Number 21. Marik then yelled, "Let's do three more! It's a great day!"
Bakura muttered, "Yes, Marik. Whatever you say, Marik." Suddenly, Bakura turned to Number 22, and smirked. This step was very, very familiar indeed.
And now, Joey and Bakura are tied, 2 to 2! Tell me who you want to win! And also, the person who guesses what Number 22 is gets a free cookie!
