Hey so remember how I told you they should make a comedy zombie love movie? Apparently that already exists! So my idea's out the window and I'm never gonna have a mansion of my own. I'll never get to make myself a solid gold stretch limo and a house made of diamonds. It's terrible. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself now. My life is ruined!
Stupid notebook can't tell I'm joking. That's the problem with writing.
But seriously that movie exists apparently. But I really don't feel like watching it. I don't know. I shouldn't, but I feel bad watching a comedy while my friends are searching some sort of ancient ruins in China with a madman trying to kill us. It doesn't hurt them or anything but I still feel bad. Maybe we can all watch it together when they get back.

They don't even have service there so I can't even reach them. They better be okay or I'll kill them.

So I got a text from Weevil today yelling at me for forgetting his birthday yesterday…
For one, how on Earth did that little punk freak who threw Exodia into the ocean get my number!? Why would he have it! Who would give it to him? Why would he want it and why would he go to the trouble of finding it! It's freaky and creepy. Why does he have my number!
Why would I care about that creep's birthday? He steals Exodia from Yugi, throws it into the ocean, laughs as I nearly drown trying to get the cards back (he didn't even throw us one of those lifesaving floaty things!), and rubs it in my face that Kaiba's dead and disrespecting him by making him into some spook story about seeing his ghost! Why would I care at all about his stupid birthday? We're not exactly buddy buddy. Now I know you're saying that you don't have to be all friendly happy lovey to care about someone, or their birthday, but I don't have any respect for that little snot nose either. He's a brat who thinks he's so great and… You know what, I've ranted about him enough, he's not worth my time.
But seriously how did he get my number? Anyone who has it knows what a little creep he is so I don't think anyone would give it to him. So he must have found it on his own which is even more annoying. I just want him and his stupid bugs out of my life.
Sorry, I forgot I was supposed to stop ranting about him. It's just frustrating.
So apart from the weird text I finally heard back from the gang. And apparently, Tristan's already seen the movie! Without me! And he gives away movie endings and all that junk. He really needs a glowing neon sign saying 'Spoiler Alert' floating above his head and following him around everywhere he goes. He ruined the end of The Sixth Sense for me you know? I don't think I've ever told you that. As well as the end of Saw, a lot of stuff in the Harry Potter books, and character deaths in pretty much every tv show and movie out there. Don't worry, I won't put what he revealed in case you haven't read it… well of course you haven't read it you're a notebook, but maybe you can talk to your boo friends.
Whoa.
What if books talk to each other, but they just say whatever's written in them? That would be so cool. Like if I was a book on a book shelf I'd be able to hear all the stories being read out loud by the books themselves. That would be crazy… Maybe I should read more. Maybe that's what I should do while I'm bored in this mansion.
July 23
Did I really consider reading the other day? Since when do I read? I thought I was looking for a way to stop being bored. Maybe it would be a sort of self-punishment thing for being in this mansion while my friends are searching around some swampy jungle with a murderous 5000 year old spirit after them… I hope they're okay.

Tristan's back. Not the way we'd want though. So I guess Duke woke up and Tristan wasn't around, so he figured he went to go to the bathroom or something. So Duke want to some stream or something to wash off his face and found Tristan unconscious on the other side of the river or stream or whatever it was. A medical helicopter brought him back to the mansion. So now we've got two unconscious friends, Tristan and Tea. I can't imagine who's responsible.

My dream saved my life. If I hadn't heard that sunrise thing and seen Bakura push me off the boat I'd be dead right now. I'd never be able to go on adventures again.

So I was sleeping Thursday night and I was having this dream and it was really nice. No one was murdered or possessed or in comas or dead. It was just like old times before Duelist Kingdom, only some of the people we met after that were around. Nothing really happened in it, we just talked and laughed at school and joked around and were enjoying ourselves. Not much was happening but it was a really nice dream. Then all of a sudden someone bumped into my shoulder and knocked me off the desk I was sitting on and I went crashing down to the floor. I yelled to watch where they were going and then it was Kaiba's voice and he said, "dogs need to be kept on leashes." And I got up and Tristan tried to grab my arm but I yanked it out of his grip and walked up to Kaiba, who kept walking to his desk like nothing happened. And I was yelling at him, all my usual Kaiba insults but he ignored me. So finally I got fed up and put my hand on his shoulder to try and still him and turn him around but then from nowhere he turned around and punched me in the face before I could react. And it was a hard punch too. Surprising the punch didn't wake me up. So then we started fist fighting in the middle of the class but he was beating me. I was on the floor looking up at him and it made me angry because he looked just as calm and composed as ever, jerk. Even in my dreams he's a jerk. Anyway, so then I looked around and we weren't in the class room anymore, we were in some weird underground cave thing with a pond in it.
Now let me give you some background, I kinda dream about Kaiba a lot. I don't like to admit it but I do, even though it's been months since, well you know. So you're probably wondering why I'm telling you about this dream. Normally he's just there in the background. He's never really the main part of the dream, not counting those weird ones I had before that seemed real. I have dreams about other things and events, and if it would make sense for him to be there, like at school or dueling or sometimes just walking around Domino, he'll be there. And if it wouldn't make sense for him to be there, like at home with my drunk father, or playing video games with Tristan, he wouldn't be there. But in this dream he was definitely the focus.
So we were in the cave thing and he's looking at me with that stupid smug look of his. He picked me up by the collar of my shirt and threw me into the pond thing. The water was so cold and shocking and woke up right away shooting upright in my bed.
And that's when I saw a dark outline of someone in front of the window. Right away I saw the ring start glowing and it lit up Bakura's evil smile, not his eyes though which made it creepier. But he seemed angry and he said, "this would have been easier if you hadn't woken up." He started coming at me and I saw he had this scary looking curved dagger thing and I quickly tried to bolt out the door but I was all tangled in blankets and I just managed to kick Bakura away and shouted for help, which I didn't think would work but I guess it did because he quickly climbed out the window and disappeared. Some of the guards came rushing in and I told them what happened.

Duke's back in Domino with me. Yugi visited me for a few hours to check up on me and have the pharaoh ask me about the thing with Bakura. But he had to go back to wherever to keep looking. They had Duke stay behind because it's safer than having only one of us around. With Bakura's evil and magic he'd have a good chance of destroying one of us, but two of us can take him on.
Why do I enjoy writing dreams so much? Whatever, I hope you all don't mind. Regardless, thanks again to all my reviewers, followers, favoriters (yes I'm deciding that's a word now, deal with it) and readers. Thank you for your patience with this story and everything. And so sorry that sometimes I lose track of when I last posted a chapter. Anyway, thanks again and hope you enjoyed reading. Please remember to review! :)
