Oooooooh! We're getting to the good parts!
Bakura: Does that mean that this piece of crap is almost done?
Me: Why are you so mean! *runs off crying*
Ryou: Again Bakura! Cant you be nice to her for once?
Bakura: The more i make her cry, the more time you get to spend with her. I'm helping you out Ry.
Ryou: One- STOP TRYING TO PAIR ME UP WITH HER! I dont like her that way! and two- If you're going to help me, cant you do it in a nicer way?
Bakura: ... Nope.
Ryou: THAT'S IT! I'm getting you banned from backstage!
Bakura: You can only do that if she says you can. So, if you really want to i'd go calm your girlfriend down over there.
Ryou: NOT MY GIRLFRIEND! JEEZ!
Chapter 26
New Revelations and What Not
"Y'all ain't gonna believe this."
Everyone was standing around me. And by everyone, I mean Aeron, Yugi, Mokuba, Joey, and Ryou. I was sitting on the concrete floor that was the roof of KaibaCorp. In truth, I felt a bit dizzy.
I heard a creak from the direction of the door. I took it that everyone else did too since six heads plus Lemonie's turned toward the door.
The door was cracked open. The others who were inside were apparently trying to eavesdrop.
"Guys, you can come out now. You don't have to try to spy now." Yugi called over to the door.
The door opened all the way and out stepped Atem, Bakura, Kaiba, Téa, Marik, Duke, and Tristan.
"So what happened?" Atem and Bakura asked at the same time. They looked at each other and scowled.
"I think we should get in a more comfortable place to talk about this. It's getting awfully chilly up here." Yugi suggested. We agreed.
So did Joey's stomach.
"Was that a bear?" Marik asked, fully aware that it was Joey's stomach.
"It needs FOOD!" Joey whined.
Kaiba looked at his watch. "It's 12 'til three. No wonder the mutt's stomach is angry. We all missed lunch."
"AIN'T A DOG, RICH BOY!"
"Our house is closest, we could go there." Mokuba chirped. He looked at his brother. "Is that all right Seto?"
His brother nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, and it's big enough to hold us all." Yugi said, then added in a mutter, "And probably a lot more comfortable than those office chairs."
I silently agreed.
"We better get going before the mutt's stomach yells at us again." Kaiba spun on his heel and headed in the direction of the door that lead off the roof.
(Ryou: There you go! That's correct! Me: *glares* You interrupted my story for that? Erica: Technically, it's my story. Me: What the-? Get out! Both of you!)
"AIN'T A DOG!"
Everyone began to follow Kaiba. I stood up to tail along, but a wave of dizziness came over me and the world began to spin.
"Whoa!" I said, wobbling a bit before falling back down on my butt.
Aeron and Yugi ran over and knelt next to me on either of my sides. Aeron on my left and Yugi on my right.
"Lemonie, what's wrong with her?" Aeron asked.
"Dizziness is common for first time spell-casters." Lemonie explained. "It might last a little while."
A little while was right. I didn't think the world would stop spinning anytime soon.
(Bakura: If it did, then the world would be at its end. Me: Oh, not you too! You know what I mean! Now get out! Jeez, I locks on these things.)
"Can you walk any, Erica?" Yugi asked me.
In reply, I simply commented to Aeron, "Now I know how you feel after we get off the Twister ride at the Carnival, Aeron."
"I'll take that as a no. Hey, guys, wait up!" Everyone stopped walking at Yugi's call. Most were already in the door.
"What is it, Yugi?" Marik inquired.
"Erica's too dizzy; she can't walk."
Everything began to spin way to fast for my liking. I was only able to see color splotches at this point, so I could obviously only hear was being said. I didn't really see anything.
"Hm. Hold on." I heard Joey say. Next thing I knew I was lifted off the ground by two strong arms and, well, thrown over somebody's shoulder like a pack.
"Eh?" It took me a few seconds to comprehend what had happened. By the time I did, I felt my carrier going down a staircase. "Wait a minute. Joey put me down!"
"No. You 'parently can't walk, so I'm carryin' ya." Said blond splotch replied casually.
"Could you at least carry me in a respectable way- other than like a POTATO SACK!"
"Nope. Would ya really rather me carry ya in bridal-style? Wouldn't it be embarrassin'?"
"Well, since I can only see in color splotches, not really."
Behind me and Joey, I heard Aeron request of Lemonie, "Please tell me she'll be alright."
"Oh, suspicious blond will be ok," Lemonie retorted, "she'll just be really dizzy for a while."
"Do you think if she dozed off for a while she'll feel better?" Yugi was there behind us too.
"Considering I'm not tired and my dreams would probably be spinning so fast they'll be blurry too, I don't think so." I answered.
There was silence for a while as we walked. We soon were outside; I could feel the cold air on my skin.
A bitter breeze blew past. You know, I'm glad that I wore one my new outfits today. My skirt would have been blowing in this wind… that would be embarrassing, considering the position I'm in.
I was wearing dark purple pants that were made of a material that had a texture to it that was soft and felt cool to rub (not that I was going to tell anyone that at the moment, considering my backside was sorta in the air, and, while I trust them, these boys might get something in there head… especially Bakura), a lilac, long sleeved shirt that was a bit fuzzy and had a picture of a yellow baby chicken (that was also fuzzy) on it, and white sneakers. I was definitely going through a phase where I like to wear headbands; it was a dark plum with a teeny-tiny, yellow, fuzzy chick standing on it as a decoration.
Chickies are cute!
I sensed a cold aura radiating from the brown, black, and red blotch behind me- well, in front of me, behind Joey.
Aeron. She was mad. I knew why.
I inwardly smirked a smirk Bakura would be proud of.
"Why are you frowning Aeron?" I asked innocently.
"Huh? I'm not-" Aeron began, trying to cover up the fact that she was.
"Yes you are. I can feel that you are."
"Why are frowning, Aeron?" Yugi asked.
"I wasn't frowning!" Aeron denied.
"Yes you were." I said.
"Okay, I was. I was worried about you dizziness, okay."
"Oh, c'mon. That's sweet 'n all, but tell us the real reason why."
"A-ano," Aeron was nervous. I could feel it. I didn't really want her-want her to feel this amount of nervousness, but she had to admit her love for Joey-kun one day… that day being soon. She might never get this chance again.
The next thing I knew, my transporter stopped.
"Joey, why have we stopped?" I asked said carrier.
"We're waiting on Mokuba." He answered.
"Why?"
We began to move again. I just guessed that the boy was tying his shoe or something.
Although, my guess could be proved wrong when I was removed from Joey's shoulder and set down on a soft surface.
"O.k. Now, where am I?" I asked to no one in particular.
I felt someone sit down next to me… and another one on the other side.
"We are in Kaiba's living room." I heard Aeron say to me on my left.
"Really? That was a bit fast."
"We took a short cut." Yugi said; he was on my right.
"Do you two always have to be right next to me?" I asked said two.
There was a short pause. Then I heard the two simultaneously answer, "Yes."
I sweatdropped.
"I'll get us some snacks," Mokuba said not two minutes later. He must've left because he said nothing afterward until ten long, silent minutes later he came back and there was a clatter of a tin tray being put… well, my guess is a coffee table. There was a huge, brown splotch in the middle of the teal splotch that I took to be the carpet.
… I hate seeing in only splotches. It's hard to describe things!
"Ooh, sammidge!" I heard Aeron mutter excitedly.
I just sat there. I probably would've had a sandwich if I could see the tray. Nyeh.
"Why don't you have a sammidge, Erica?" Aeron asked me.
"One," I said, "it's sandwich. Two, I can't see 'em. Ya know, I swear I hate seeing in color splotches. It's so annoying!"
"Here we go." Aeron muttered, but I ignored her.
"Am I going to have to live with this the rest of my life? How will I explain this to my teacher when we go back home? 'Yes, sorry, Mr. Eglantine, I couldn't do my math homework because I went to the land of my favorite TV show, did a spell, and now I can only see in color splotches!'"
"Are you about done?"
"No. Now back to my rant. I- OW!" I rubbed the back of my head where Aeron hit it. "What was that for?"
"Erica," Aeron said matter-of-factly, "nobody wants to hear you rant."
I looked over to her and stuck my tongue out at her. Then I realized something. I could see her. I looked around me to make sure it was true and not an illusion or something.
"Hey! I can see!" I shouted. I embraced Aeron in a bone-shattering hug. "Thank you, Aeron-chan!"
"Uh… yeah… just like I planned. Now, can Erica-chan let go of Aeron-chan? You're breaking her ribs!"
"Oh! Sorry." I let go of Aeron and said hazel-eyed brunette took a deep intake of breath and let it out.
"It's ok." Aeron said. "Now get a sammidge before either I or Joey eat them all."
"Yes, ma'am!" I saluted and reached to grab a sandwich. My hand touched someone else's and I looked up to see who it was.
Mokuba jerked his hand away. His face flushed a light red.
"Sorry." I said casually with a smile.
"I-it's o-okay." He replied.
Seriously, why is that kid's face so red all the time? I thought as I took a sandwich and bit into it. It was awfully good. A chicken sandwich with tomato, pickle, lettuce, ranch, and honey-mustard. Really good.
(Somebody try it! I wanna know if it really is good! Bakura: What is wrong with you? Me: Shut up fluffy!)
"Mokuba," Kaiba asked his little brother, each word had obvious concern in it, "why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?"
"Who me? Oh, I'm fine!" Mokuba laughed nervously.
I looked at him in concern. His eyes were darting around the room for some reason. Our eyes met and his face got a shade darker. He suddenly found the carpet interesting and began staring at that.
…Wha?
Aeron muttered something next to me. I guess it was a light-hearted comment about Mokuba's behavior.
What's up with him?
Lemonie, who was "lying" in the air, announced, "Now that everyone is comfortable, Lemonie thinks suspicious blond should share what happened."
"Oh, yes, that." I said, laying my half eaten sandwich in my lap. "Well…" I began, but I was cut off.
…By my phone.
Brooklyn Rage began to play. Everyone other than Yugi, Atem, and Aeron looked around in surprise. Yugi shook his head and Atem face-palmed. Aeron looked at me with an "Again?" look.
I growled like an angry raccoon. Then I shouted like Mr. Eglantine, my math teacher if you can't remember. "WHY CAN'T THIS THING STAY OFF WHEN I TURN IT OFF!"
Everyone looked at me. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone. I checked the caller ID. My face paled.
"Who is it?" Aeron asked.
"Mom and Dad." I said lowly. I looked at Aeron and spazzed out. "What do I do?"
"Just answer it and make up something! And go out there!" Aeron pushed me off the couch and out into the hallway.
I was now standing in Kaiba's hallway. Mokuba said this was his house. IT WAS HUGE!
But, I can't go into detail. Phone to answer.
"Hello?"
"Hey, honey! How's it going?" Dad answered.
"Fine! Just great!" I faked a cheerful tone.
"So what's going on? Anything cool happening?"
"Not really. Just the usual."
"How's school? Any hot dudes ask you out yet?" I sweatdropped. Dad trying to be cool again. Yuck.
"No, Dad. I'm still single. And school's school."
"So what are you learning in school?" Seriously, can't he just get to the point on why he called?
Wait a minute. What are we learning in school?
"What subject?" I asked, stalling for time to think up something.
"Hm… let's go with Health."
Dang it! Always with the hard ones!
"Um… sexual reproduction?" I just said the first thing that came to mind.
"Erica, that's Science."
"Same thing!"
In the background, I heard Mom yell at Dad, "Oh, give me the phone! You're taking too long!"
Thank you Mom.
"Hi, sweetie! Just wanted to tell you we're heading home from Peru early."
"Early?" Oh, no.
"Yes. The tournament is being held off for some reason about an ancient curse or something. So, see you when we get home, 'Kay!"
"No you won't." Stupid! Why'd you say that? Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
"How come?"
"Ano… school field trip."
"Field trip?"
"Yeah, we're on a field trip. Aeron's aunt signed our permission slips."
"Really? Where?"
"Uh… Canada! Yes, Canada! We'll be in… Laurentin, Canada."
"Where's that?"
"Quebec."
"Oh. Well, how long will you be gone?"
"Couple weeks, a month… depending how much there is to learn… we'll be back by the end of February, surely."
"Well, alright. Have fun!"
"I will Mom."
"We love you!"
"Love you too."
"Bye!"
"Bye." I pressed the end call button and snapped my phone shut.
"Ugh. I'm so full!" Joey whined, a hand resting on his stomach as he lounged on Kaiba's second couch.
"You ate roughly two-thirds of the sandwiches made, mutt. Actually, considering the way you ate, you more of swallowed than ate." Kaiba scoffed.
Joey growled like a dog, and then proceeded with a comment that he was indeed not a canine. He is such an oxymoron.
(Joey: What'd you call me? Me: *sigh* I give up.)
Anyway, Mokuba kept staring at the closed door in which Erica had left. Ryou seemed to be the only one who noticed this.
"Why are you staring at the door, Mokuba?" he asked the black-haired boy.
Mokuba flushed a slight red and jerked his gaze back to the carpet. "Uh… n-no reason." He answered meekly.
Joey saw this and smirked. "I think someone's got a cru-ush." He sang.
Mokuba's face grew even redder at this and he lowered his head to where you could barely see his eyes behind his bangs. "D-do not!"
"On who, Mokuba?" Yugi asked.
"I don't have a crush on anyone!" Mokuba was close to yelling.
"I think you do." Joey said.
"Do not!" Mokuba exasperatedly said.
"Leave my brother alone, mutt." Kaiba told Joey.
Thank you, Seto. Mokuba thought.
"Even if he has a crush."
"What?" Mokuba looked at his brother in surprise.
"Mokuba, it's completely obvious you have one."
"I do not have a crush!" Mokuba wailed.
I opened the living room door to enter said living room. The first thing I heard was a wail. Not the entire wail. In fact, I didn't understand what the wail was wailing about.
I saw Joey chuckling over in his seat and Kaiba shaking his head.
"What's going on?" I asked.
I saw Mokuba blush and look back down to the carpet.
"Mokuba, are you o.k.?" I asked him. I was really getting worried about him. Did he have a fever or something?
"Oh he's fine." Joey said. "Great actually. Probably feeling awesome."
I blinked. "Wha?"
Aeron sighed. "Just forget it. What'd Mom and Dad want?"
"Well," I said, "they wanted to say that they were coming home early."
"What?" Aeron paled visually.
"They said they were-"
"I heard what you said. Why though?"
"Something about a curse or something. I don't know."
"Please tell me you didn't say that we weren't home right now and probably wouldn't be for a while."
"Well… I did."
"What?"
"I said we were on an overnight fieldtrip that might last a month. However long we're gone really."
"Oh that's good."
"We're in Canada."
"…Canada?"
"I COULDN'T THINK OF ANYTHING O.K.!"
"Calm down! Was that all?"
"Dad was trying to be cool."
"Okaay. Yuck. Anything else?"
"He now thinks we're learning about sexual reproduction in Health."
The room grew silent. I can tell that most of the others- Joey, Bakura, Tristan, and Duke being a few- were trying to keep themselves from laughing. The shyer and/or quieter of the group- Yugi and Ryou being the main- blushed.
"That's science." Kaiba said.
"Whatever!" I retorted.
"Lemonie thinks that humans should stop babbling nonsense and get on with main dialogue!" Lemonie suggested/demanded.
"Alright." I walked over and sat in the spot where I was before my parents called.
"So, what was it you saw, Erica?" Ryou asked.
I crossed my legs-Indian style- in my seat and began my tale.
"Three teenagers are her minions?" Joey inquired. "And two of them are girls?"
"What's wrong with that?" Tèa snarled, completely out of character.
"Nothing!" Joey said faster than he should've. I sighed and ignored that.
"Yes. As far as I know, the two are twins named Kara and Sara. The third, the boy, is named Logan. Logan seems to be a thief. Margherita had to warn him that he couldn't steal our pyramids… and tell him that he couldn't have them." I said to answer Joey's question.
"I think I like Logan already." Bakura stated. Everyone glared at him. "What? What did I say?"
Yugi shook his head at the thief's ignorance and looked at me. "So, they are planning on stealing ours now?"
"They're on their way." I answered.
There was a surprised silence in the room. Some looked at others in shock. Others widened their eyes in the same state of alarm. I just looked at my lap. It was all going to begin soon. Was I even ready for it?
I was startled out of my thoughts when Yugi spoke again. "How long before they're here?"
"A few days." I replied.
The room was silent again. That is, until Joey stood up from his seat and stretched. "Well," he said while stretching, "I think it's time for all o' us ta go home an' start practicin' our duelin'! If there gonna be here 'n a few days."
"I don't think it's just going to be Duel Monsters Joey." I hated breaking people's bubbles at times, but Joey had to know.
"Wha?" Joey… um… sounded.
I sighed. "Margherita said that she didn't care how her minions got our pyramids, as long as they won them off of us. Sure Duel Monsters is something big in this world, but how do you know that her minions know how to play Duel Monsters? How do you know that will be the game of their choice?" Joey just gave me a blank stare. I sighed again. "Meaning, we could be challenged to anything. So don't start getting cocky."
"Burst my bubble, why don't'cha?" Joey mumbled and sat back down.
I rolled my eyes and turned to Lemonie. "By the way, Lemonie, I was just wondering, what are sparks?"
Lemonie pulled herself into a sitting position. "Sparks?"
"Yeah, sparks. Margherita mentioned something about sparks when she was telling her minions about how many souls they needed to collect for the pyramids to work with the spell she's planning to use." I answered.
"Oh! Suspicious blond means Soul Sparks!" Lemonie chirped.
"Soul Sparks?"
"Yes, Soul Sparks. Soul Sparks are like the… rating for souls. Soul Sparks go on a scale from 1-35. If a soul has 1-15 sparks, the soul is weak. If a soul has 16-25 sparks, it is strong. If a soul has 26-35 sparks, it is powerful. A soul can also gain or lose sparks."
"Oh, cool!"
"Why, though, would this matter?" Atem asked.
"Because," Lemonie explained, "the Seven Jewel Pyramids need souls to power them. The souls aren't what powers them, though. It is the sparks. For the spell Lemonie thinks Person will use, Person will need a power level of Fire."
"Fire?"
Lemonie sighed. "How little humans know. There are three power levels for the pyramids. Spark, Ember, and Fire. Spark being the lowest and Fire being the highest. Different spells used with the pyramids need different power levels. The spell Person will probably use will need a power level of Fire."
We gave her a blank stare. That successfully let Lemonie know we needed more of an explanation. She sighed yet again. "The power level of Spark needs 0-100 Soul Sparks. The power level of Ember needs 101-201 Soul Sparks. The power level of Fire needs 202-252 Soul Sparks."
There was a collective "Ooooooooooh" that sounded in the room.
Lemonie face-palmed.
"Would I be in the strong or powerful group?" Tristan muttered to himself.
"How d'ya know yer in them groups, Tristan? Yer prob'ly in da weak groupin'. I, though, am definitely in powerful!" Joey responded.
Lemonie fell from her spot in the air and I caught her. "Mutt and friend are idiots." She groaned. I laughed and put her on my shoulder.
Lemonie sat up and grabbed some of my hair to keep herself from falling off.
Joey and Tristan bickered for a while before Yugi stood up and announced- "Well, I think it's time we all went home and prepare ourselves for whatever it is we need to be ready for in a few days."
Joey and Tristan stopped squabbling and agreed.
With that, everyone other than the Kaiba brothers stood up and left for the door. Mokuba stood at the door waving after us and I shouted back a last goodbye.
"See ya Mokie!" after that, I turned and ran to catch up with the others.
"Would you stop calling him Mokie?" Aeron asked me when I caught up.
"Why?" I queried.
Joey chuckled. "It might have a different effect on him than ya think."
"What?"
"Oh, nothing."
The group had just gotten into the larger part of town, close to where Yugi's place was. Marik, Tèa, Ryou, and Bakura had already separated from the group to go to their respective housings- Marik's being his hotel. Joey, Tristan, Duke, Atem, Yugi, Erica, and Aeron were left.
Lemonie had dozed off on Erica's shoulder while the blond was speaking to her friend about her fan club. It was painfully obvious that Aeron wasn't listening though. Erica didn't seem to mind however.
Joey was bickering with Tristan about the Soul Spark thing again. But this time Atem and Duke joined in.
This left Yugi alone to his thoughts.
I wonder what will happen when it is time for us to battle. Erica said that Margherita was also planning on collecting souls for the spell. Now, if I remember correctly, Erica said that Margherita needed 13 souls when she was telling us what she saw. If 13 it be, does that mean we all are going to be captured? Or will the amount of Soul Sparks we each have change that?
Yugi looked over to Erica. To him, she couldn't look more like a kid. Smiling and laughing away while her friend was in Joey-land.
She's only thirteen. Why she was picked to deal with this now at her age is beyond me.
Sure he was only sixteen when he had to deal with his problems, but that's a three year difference. He had a bit longer to be a normal kid before he had to grow up and accept destiny. She didn't.
While he was looking at his younger friend, he noticed something he hadn't before. The Millennium Puzzle she had dangling around her neck was hung by a shoestring.
That has to be rubbing her neck raw.
The group was just passing a store when something in the shop window caught his eye.
$213. He thought sadly. Wait a sec. Gramps gave me a credit card for Christmas.
After contemplating the pros and cons of buying the item, he finally decided he would just pay Grandpa back later (in one way or another). With that, he slipped into the store and bought the article without his friends noticing.
For ten minutes now, Yugi had been missing. I had notified the others about six minutes ago and we had waited by the street corner for him. I was beginning to get worried.
"Hey, Aeron?" Joey questioned.
"Huh?" Did I detect a hint of pink brushing her cheeks and nose? I giggled inwardly.
"How come ya always wear black and red?"
"What?" That blush is getting darker.
"Yer clothes. Why are they always black 'n red?"
"Oh," Aeron muttered as she looked down at her clothes. She was wearing a red shirt with a black heart on it that had wings, an arrow through it, and it was on fire (not literally, just it was supposed to look like that); a black jacket; and black pants. She also wore red converse shoes.
"Well, how come?"
"I'm not Goth or anything!"
I face-palmed. Joey chuckled. "I didn't say dat." he said.
"I-I know that. I was just making sure you knew." Aeron chirped lamely.
"Aeron, just tell him why?" I groaned exasperatedly.
"I always wear black and red because it's the colors of my favorite Duel Monster."
"Really? Which one's dat?" Joey asked.
"The Red Eyes Black Dragon."
"Really! Dat's my favorite monster too!"
Maybe I should tell him why it is her favorite monster. I looked at the two chatting away happily. Or maybe not.
Joey went back to yakking with Tristan, Duke, and Atem, and Aeron leaned over to me. "Joey noticed the color of my clothes!" she squeaked lowly so Joey wouldn't hear how scarily similar she sounded like a love-struck fangirl.
"Yes, I heard." I replied.
"Awesome, isn't it?"
"Sure." I agreed. I really couldn't care less, but she was happy. And if it got that creepy smile off her face…
I noticed something. Aeron was busy being a fangirl and the boys were casually talking away. Was I the only one worried about Yugi?
Looking at my friends, who looked as if they don't give a care, I thought: I'll take that as a yes.
I looked around the corner to see if he had caught up yet. He wasn't there.
"Don't worry, Erica." Atem told me. I turned to look at him. "I can sense if he's in danger. He's perfectly fine." He tapped his head for emphasis. I nodded in saying I understood, but that didn't stop my worrying. Ten minutes is a long time to disappear.
Just a second later, we saw Yugi running up to us.
"See, Erica, I told you." Atem said. "He's perfectly fine, slightly out of breath, but fine."
"Where'd ya go Yoog?" Joey asked.
"I, uh, dropped something." Yugi answered. "Had to go back and get it."
"Alright." Tristan said. "I think it's time I take my leave." He pointed in what was a random direction to me. "My house is that way."
"Yeah," Duke added, "same here."
The two started walking toward their respective homes. Before they were out of earshot, they turned and called back in unison: "See ya!"
We waved our goodbyes and headed toward the Game shop once more. Joey apparently thought he lived there too.
We entered the Game shop not long after, and Joey headed straight for the kitchen.
"Time for a snack!" he announced.
"Joey, we just ate!" Yugi argued. I began to giggle.
"Yeah, but I'm hungry again."
"Alright, but, Joey, shouldn't you be going home?"
"I am home."
"No you're not!"
"Technically, I am."
"Fine, you can stay here for one night!" Yugi had already taken off his coat and headed toward the kitchen while he was arguing with Joey. Atem took off his jacket and followed Yugi.
My giggling had turned into full blown laughter.
"Joey's staying here!" Aeron said excitedly.
"Apparently so. But don't get excited. I don't think Yugi will let him sleep with you." I said.
Aeron blushed a dark red. I really meant that in the innocent way, but I knew that comment would get to her!
Aeron growled. "You are so dead."
"You gotta catch me first!" I said cheerily and took off running.
Yugi: What did i buy in the store?
Me: You and the readers will find out soon!
Yugi: Can i have a hint?
Me: No.
Yugi: Please?
Me: No.
Yugi: Pleasey-please?
Me: No!
Yugi: PLEASEY-PLEASEY-PLEASE!
Me: FINE! here's your hint: It's from a store.
Yugi: That doesnt help at all.
Me: Take it or leave it.
