A/N: I'm updating now. I would have done it sooner, but now I have a lot more homework than usual. Here's the chappie!

CH 10

And-

There were about 370 people standing in a straight line waiting to see if I would choose them as my evil partner. This could take a while. I don't think Ryou…Ryou! I'll have to get him out of the house for a while…but how…?

I shut the door and ran upstairs to my room. I picked up Jay and started shaking him. "JAY! WHAT AM I GONNA DO?"

"Wha…meh?…huh? Oh. What happened?" he asked. He was sleeping. I know he was.

"There are 370 people outside waiting in a nice little straight line and hoping I'll pick them to be my evil partner. What do I do about Ryou? He's still here in the house, and if I let anyone in, I'll be in the ring for another month and a half." I said. Wow. I didn't know I could talk that fast.

Jay hesitated, and then spoke in a voice barely audible over the printer. "Why don't you send Ryou to the Shadow Realm? You could make a spot in it that looks exactly like the house, so he won't know he's there. Just have him walk into a portal or something."

Hmmmm…that might work. "That'll take a while. I'd have to draw out the whole house in my mind, and then I'd have to create the portal. There's a great risk of my being pulled into the portal with Ryou." I told him. It was true!

"Do you want to get stuck in the ring again?" he asked.

"…no…"

"Then start working"

I sat down cross-legged and closed my eyes. I concentrated on the house and planned it out. "Shadow magic, hear my plea, God of the sun, help me. My mind is set, and all planned out. Send Ryou to the Shadow Realm!"

"What did you do?" Jay asked.

"I sent Ryou to the Shadow Realm. That's the spell."

"Oh. Well…did it work?"

I thought for a minute, "Let's go and see. If it did, then he won't be here. And he won't know he's gone. I've also put a hologram of myself in the "house". It can talk and everything!"

"Sounds good. You'll have to carry me though…I can't walk." Jay said.

I picked him up and searched the house for a trace of Ryou. Nobody was in the house. "Now it's time to set up an audition room. Let's use the living room. There's plenty of space in there."

I moved the couch and coffee table out of the way, and sat on the newly placed couch. It had been in the middle of the room. Now it was against a wall.

"Bet you there are 500 people standing at the door now." I said. "20 dollars. All or nothing. What do you say?" I asked

Jay smiled, "You're on."

I opened the door again. Checking out the line, I could tell that it'd grown. I glanced over my shoulder and looked at the "see how many people are standing at your front door" calculator. 502.

"You were two people off. You lose." Jay said. "Fork it over."

"Grrrr…" I said, taking out a 20-dollar bill. "You win-but only by 2 people! Remember, if Yugi comes, then the "see how many people are at your front door" calculator will be 2 instead of 1. If Yugi or Marik came, you have to give it back, plus another 20."

"I know. That's the fun in life."

"Cool." I said. I turned to the door and shushed every-one. "Hi. I think I know why your all here-you saw my posters. I'm going to ask you all to come inside one-by-one and audition for your part. When one leaves, tell the next person in line to come in. ready to start?"

"Yea…sure…whatever…" were my responses.

"Wonderful" I said sarcastically. "First in line?"

A boy walked up. Seriously, he had to be 18. He had piercing all over his face, and he looked like a total outcast. This might be the one! "Name?"

"I'm Clayton."

"Why do you want to be my partner?" I asked. I could see where this was going.

Clayton was silent for a moment, and then said softly, "Because I hate people."

Whoa. This kid seemed serious. "One moment" I said, and turned to Jay. "What do you think?" I whispered.

"Hmmm…ask him why he hates people, and then if he would be willing to do anything for the plot."

I turned around. "Why do you hate people?"

"Because they always judge me by the way I dress. My mom thinks I smoke, and all the friends that I have are drug addicts."

"Interesting…but it seems to me that you are…A WUSS! Jeez. 'My mom thinks I smoke'? Please. Mothers don't do that. Do you even have friends?"

I turned to Jay again. "Push the button," I said.

Jay pushes a shiny silver button, and a trap door opened up under Clayton's feet. He fell silently. "NEXT!"
