Chapter Seven: Party Time

Tristan set next to his best friend and tried to revive his spirits, "Look man, you're the best. It's all because you care, that authors can come and say hi. Sherabo's the first." Joey just sunk lower in his chair and for the first time in his teen life he didn't have a word to say.

Yugi and Yami were just a little too excited to care and the others were actually having a great time. If Joey wanted to act like a brat then he's on his own.

"Come on mate, have a good da', Kaiba's throwing the biggest party in the world of anime. You didn't expect him to take a back seat." The young British teen smiled revealing a mouth filled with pearl y white teeth. Ryou was the heart throb of young teens throughout the world of fan fiction. But even his charms couldn't penetrate the wall around the teen.

Joey's heart was beyond repair. Seto always bested him but this humiliation just rank at the top. Just once he wanted to win. Without responding to the gangs' attempts at reversing his sour mood, the depressed teen went to the back of the jet to contemplate his next move. 'It ain't over yet, money bags,' Joey thought.

As the jet touched down the gang looked over head and marveled at the blue streak in the sky. Blue Eyes White Dragon soared through the sky at lightning speed. High atop the smooth neck one author set and laughed in the coolness of the breezy wind whipping her hair against the currents. Seto gave Sherabo a smile that only she would witness for all eternity. Gracefully he guided the great beast downward and they landed on top of Pegasus's castle. There to greet the author who was now magically dressed as a priestess of ancient Egypt, the dark magician with his apprentice guided her down a dark tower and into the main hall.

"Ah . . . Seto Kaiba . . . . You are shameless and arrogant. My wildest dream ever, but even I can see the sadness in Katsuya's eyes." She placed her hands on slender hips and eyed the CEO. "Let's go and set things right. I will not break his heart, never."

"He's just a silly mutt," Seto didn't really care, he enjoyed the control. "I think we should just enjoy the party of your life. Look," Kaiba spread his hands in a wide arch across the hall, "Everyone is here to meet you."

Mean while Pegasus opened the doors to the castle just beyond a wide mote and the gang walked inside, well everyone except one stubborn blond. Sherabo survived the waves of shock that over took her body after the riding the awesome dragon and she felt quite at home. However her fetish for long white hair left the author speechless when Pegasus walked forward. He extended his hand in greeting and gave her a little statue of toon world. Sherabo was still staring at the Toon-master's perfectly placed white hair and the golden eye glowing underneath his bangs. "Pegasus I always wondered if that eye was painful to wear. How do you clean it? I mean do you remove it at night?"

"Oh my, what silly questions; that's like asking a woman her age, I'll never tell." Pegasus gave her a wink and flipped his white hair to the side.

Seto snarled, "Idiot, you're worst than a girl."

"Quiet everyone, I don't have all day. We are here to celebrate Sherabo's birthday and welcome her to the world of Yugioh." Seto's voice vibrated throughout the hall.

"Yeah . . . . Hoot! . . . . Hoot! . . .!" cheers went up around the hall. Duel monsters floated in the air from the spirit worlds and shadow realms. Duelists and a few characters from other manga's appeared. Mokuba opened another portal with the help of Noah and the characters from Tsubasa, Kyo Kara Maoh, Hack, Fruits Baskets, Get Bakers, Death Note, Gravitation, Saiyuki, and Saiunkoku partied and brought gifts.

"Oh my god," Sherabo screamed, over head the angles Kagetsuya and Chihaya floated; they were from Earthian; one if the first and best manga's the author ever read.

The portal closed but not before the cast of Sherabo's favorite play entered. Christine Daae, a Swedish soprano sang "Happy birthday" and the Phantom joined in along with this noisy assembly of friends. Seto arranged a special duel from the pair to sing to the author. Christine and the Phantom clasped their hands together and wove each other's fingers in a lovers knot in preparation of the love song. Christine's dress sparkled with diamonds and a delicate rope of pearls nuzzled in the cleft between her budding breasts. Erik the mysterious deformed man that lived in the darkest catacombs of the opera defied charm and sophistication. He wore a long black cape trim in red brocade, because it was Sherabo's favorite color, and the ever present white mask added a sensuality that caused silence to prevail thought the ancient castle. Phantom started the song:

I still hear your voice when you sleep next to me,

I still feel your touch in my dreams,

Forgive me my weakness but I don't know why,

Without you it's hard to survive,

Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling,

Cause every time we kiss I swear I could fly,

Can't you feel my heart beat fast; I want this to last,

I need you by my side,

Sherabo stumbled back, but Seto and Pegasus were prepared for the shock to her physical body and eased a large velvet lined chair under her legs which had turned to mush. The song continued with a twist.

Viscount de Chagny dashed in and took the lead much to the surprise of everyone. Christine eyes glowed with ardor for her prince.

Your arms are my castle,

Your heart is my sky,

They wipe away tears that I cry,

The good and the bad times we've been through them all,

You make me rise when I fall...

Tears cascaded down the author's cheeks and she wondered, 'Which man will the singer fall for in the end. Well I will have to ask the duelist heiress about that. I'm sure she has great plans.' The tears dried up when Carolotta, the spoiled prima donna waltz out on the stage. She refused to admit her time had passed. To see the two suitors in action writing their own script was like magic.

"Do you really like that sappy stuff," Bakura eased up to the back of the throne and voiced his opinion.

"I got a message from Journey Maker she thinks you are one hot guy, but if you don't start treating Ryou

Better, she's going to cut off that beautiful hair, make you fat, and give you a face lift. The fans will say, Yeah he used to be so handsome, what happened." Bakura was speechless.

Ryou rolled over with laugher at the shock on his darks face. For the first time Ryou's light glowed and Sherabo continued with the message.

"Ryou love keeper wants to know if you would like to have a story about your early days in Britain. Were you always so cute and shy?" Ryou blushed, "Well I sorta take after my moms, and well . . . . Well I always made good grades and the teachers loved me . . . blue is my favorite color and tell her this to…"

Ryou whispered to Sherabo, "l love American country music, specially Reba and Brooks and Dun . . . . . Tell her I would like to be a star some day, in somebody's story. I'm always a boy who never gets to be the big lead."

"Ryou are you talking country again," Bakura barked, "I swear I'm destroying all those CD."

"Bakura," Sherabo arched her brow, "Remember what Journey Maker said."

"Yugi and Yami, Vigamidragon is a drama queen of the best kind. She has some angst plans for you, you know death wish. But it will most likely be the hottest story on the net. You guys are the best." Yugi looked a little worried but Yami being a great pharaoh of ancient Egypt wasn't bothered in the least. "Don't worry we will come back, my little light."

"Oh Sherabo I have a message for the Duelist Heiress. I love my daughter Mherlo Ishtar," Marik spoke clearly and with stoic purpose. "Actually I love the entire world she has recreated. It feels right."

"Ok, enough of that ancient stuff. . . . my turn . . . I just love YGO Blade Runner. Leader of the gang of replicants. One of the best roles I've ever had." Bakura beamed with pride. "Tell Sakura she's the best and I loved my cat boy. I want to be a rich stud for hire."

"Ahhhhhhhhh . . . . . can you think of anything but sex." Tea popped Bakura on the head with her pink cell phone.

"Ah, face it Tea, you're just pissed that the Phantom is with Christaina ." Malik laughed,

"Tea, don't worry, I spoke to Crystal Rose of Pollux and you will grow old together," Mai comforted the weeping starlet. "Just keep up your dancing girl friend."

"Yugi did you enjoy Yugivania, I so loved reading it," Sherabo spoke. "Remember your lover."

Yugi blushed horribly, "Yeah it was so cool, I would love to have an autograph copy. Do you think it's over?"

"What lover are you talking about," Yami eyed his friend. Sherabo just laughed she was so happy. It was the most prefect of days.

"Sherabo I have a message too, Mokuba chimed in, "My most special person is DRAGONLADY222, she loves all of us the same." The gang bowed deeply in honor of the faithful reviewer that lifts the hearts of so many authors and gives honest opinions on the characters in our stories.

"Nii-sama, she even makes you look good, sometimes," Mokuba laughed.

Seto growled, as he remembers a few not so nice reviews, yet he loved her the most. "Well if you guys are done wasting time I suggest you go get some cake. We only have a little time left."

"Hey, where's Katsuya's . . . ." worry mirrored the happiness in Sherabo's eyes.

"Seto Kaiba, where is my precious blond beauty . . . . . ." Sherabo was fuming.
