Days until DSoD: 146

Two things. One, I found out that I have over 50 followers for this story. I seriously cannot thank you enough for reading and liking my story. You all are super special awesome! ^_^

Two, new promo cards are coming with the release of the movie next year, including the new Blue-Eyes White Dragon. But my excitement blew through the roof when I saw there will be a new Gandora card. Gandora is one of my all-time favorite monsters, and I hope this means he will appear in the movie! Maybe Yugi will use him again.

Above The Winter Moonlight: Yep, his time has finally come!

Thedarkpokemaster: Yea, poor guys. I will do the Evil Council of Doom later, just have to get through the series' first.

James95: I can only imagine what he'll be thinking ;)

Kurora: Thank you! Yea, that clown was creepy, but he got what he deserved. Haha, that will be fun to write her reaction when she gets possessed. Enjoy the cookies Tea!

AnimaniAshley: XD Lol! Looks like I'm going to be a father…wait…I'm a girl. Does this mean I'm going to be a mother and father at the same time?! :p

FANactic Writer: Yep, he's finally here! The thiefshipping will defiantly be fun to write reactions to when the time comes!

Itachiforever342: Thank you! Hope you enjoy the story!

Still own nothing. Enjoy!

-Quote from abridged series.-

"Yami or Yugi mind speaking"

Normal dialogue.

After a tough test-taking day at school, the gang decided the best reward for making it through the day was another video. The gang met up on the roof and Joey got his laptop set up. "Wonder what's in store for us this time," Joey said.

"With these videos, anything," Tristian replied. Yugi and Tea nodded in agreement. "Well, we'll never know unless we watch them," Joey said as he started the next video.

-Yami: Yu-Gi-Oh is a production of the Children's Television Workshop. - "What's that supposed to mean?" Yugi asked.

-Joey: It sure is a shame that Mokuba got kidnapped again. If we'd been paying the slightest bit of attention, it probably wouldn't have happened.-

-Yugi: Oh he gets kidnapped like once a week. I'm sure he's use to it by now.-

-Mokuba: It feels like I'm dying inside. - "Well that's sad," Tea said. "I feel bad for Mokuba, he goes through a lot," Yugi said.

"Yea, but Kaiba usually gets him out of those situations," Tristian added.

-Yugi: Come on, let go play some more card games.-

-Joey: Hey look, some idiot dropped his cards.-

-Tristian: Hands off, those are mine. - Tristian perked up at hearing his voice. "Hey, what happened to your voice?" Joey asked. "I guess it changed, and I like it. Much better than that other voice," Tristian responded.

-Joey: Tristian! What the hell happened to your voice?-

-Yugi: It sounds all weird and stuff. - "No, my other voice was the weird one. This one is better," Tristian said.

-Tristian: What are you guys talking about?-

-Joey: Seriously, it sounds completely different.-

-Yugi: Does it hurt to talk like that?-

-Tristian: You guys, I've always sounded like this, I swear. - Tristian chuckled. "I hope this new voice stays."

"I disagree, the old voice should come back," Joey said. Tristian rolled his eyes and shook his head.

-Tea: That voice is all wrong.-

-Joey: What happened to the Tristian I knew and loved? This is unacceptable! - "You can say that again," Joey said. Tristian shook his head again.

*Title sequence*

-Joey: It sure feels good to know that my friends are backing me up.-

-Tristian: Man Joey, these guys look like they're way out of your league. Maybe we should go looking for some three-year-olds. - Tristian started laughing, ignoring Joey's growling. "And what's so funny Mr. I lost the only duel I've ever been in?" Joey asked angrily.

"Geez, will you two stop it already?" Tea asked. Both boys paused. "Tea's right, we had a stressful day today, we should be enjoying ourselves," Yugi added.

Joey and Tristian broke up their fighting. "Let's just see what's next," Tea said as she continued the video.

-Tea: He'd be better off facing a dueling monkey.-

-Joey: You guys are the worst friends ever! - Joey shook his head. "That's wrong right there. You guys are the best friends I could ever have, even if we do disagree." The others smiled.

-Mai: Hello Joseph. Happy to see me?-

-Joey: Yes talking cleavage, I'm very happy to see you. - Joey turned red again. "I'm guessing this is going to become a regular thing," he added.

-Mai: Say hello to your next opponent.-

-Yugi: It's Rex Raptor. He was a regional champion finalist.-

-Rex: You said "region". - "Little TMI there," Tea said.

-Joey: I foolishly accept your challenge.-

-Tristian: Don't do it Joey. He'll clearly wipe the floor with you.-

-Joey: It is implied that I am punching you. - "Implied? I clearly remember you punching me," Tristian said.

"But it wasn't shown in this video. Wonder why that is?" Joey said.

-Tea: Gasp.-

-Tristian: Hey no fair. You can't punch me while I'm not on screen.-

-Joey: You had it coming. Ever since your voice changed, you've been like a totally different person. Well actually you've been like the same person just with a totally different voice, but you know what I mean. - "You're just going to have to get use to my new voice," Tristian said.

"Yeah, we know," Joey said.

-Tristian: Good luck winning this card game without my help.-

-Joey: Yeah, cause your usually such an important character. - Tristian sighed. "Well, at least the voice is a start."

-Mai: Just remember our deal Rex, and watch out for his Time Wizard. That's what he used to defeat my harpies.-

-Rex: You have herpes?-

-Mai: Harpies!-

-Rex: Stop saying herpes. - Everyone started laughing. "Leave it to Rex to misinterpret Mai," Tea said.

-Yugi: I'm going to go find Tristian.-

-Tea: Oh, I love it when he abandons me. - "uh…ok?" Tea said turning a little red.

-Tristian: Must, wash, away, the sin.-

-Yugi: Hey Tristian, what's up?-

-Tristian: Yugi what are you doing here? You should be helping Joey.-

-Yugi: Joey doesn't need my help. Don't you get it Tristian? This is Joey's coming of age episode where he proves he's a real man by winning a children's card game all by himself.-

- [seriously]- Joey thought for a minute. "So…did Pegasus create Duel Monsters with the intention of making it for children?"

"With all the power that come from the monsters, especially from the God cards, I doubt it," Yugi said.

"But it's funny to think you'd become a man from doing something a child can do," Tristian said, ignoring Joey's protests.

-Tristian: Well, he's got a hot sister, so I guess I can forgive him for assaulting me. - Tristian flashed a smile and laugh. Joey sighed.

-Yugi: And that's what true friendship is all about.-

-Tristian: What?-

-Yugi: Let's just go back. - "So that's your friendship philosophy Yug?" Joey asked. Yugi laughed nervously.

-Tristian: Hey Joey, I've returned to give you my support.-

-Joey: Hey Tristian, I don't care. - "Whoa, harsh," Tristian said nudging on Joey's side. Joey shook his head. –Time roulette go!-

Everyone enjoyed The Power of Love being played, and then noticed the caption "Yu-Gi-Oh proves creationism wrong." "What kind of effect is that?" Tea said as many figures were flying towards the screen. "Uh, history?" Joey guessed.

-Rex: Check it out. My dragon's stoned. - This got a laugh out of everyone.

-Yugi: Well done Joey. You believed in the heart of the cards and it came through for you.-

-Joey: Actually it was more like dumb luck.-

-Yugi: Same thing really. - "What? No it isn't," Yugi said. He then thought for a minute. "Yea, no it isn't."

"Even if it was luck, I wouldn't call it 'dumb' luck," Joey added.

-Mai: Now that I'm all alone, nothing could possibly go wrong. - "Uh Mai, never say those words," Tea said.

-Panik: It's raping time! - Tea gasped. "So that's what happened?"

"Guys, it sounds like someone's coming up the stairs," Tristian said pointing to the stairs all of a sudden. Tea got a little tense. The door slowly opened and everyone was surprised by who was standing there.

"Hey guys, I thought I'd find you up here."

"Bakura? What are you doing here at school still?" Yugi asked.

"Actually, I was looking for you Yugi."

"For me? Why?"

"Well…" Bakura walked over to them. "I keep hearing a voice. I think it's the same voice I heard throughout Duelist Kingdom and Battle City."

Yugi knew what was going on. Even though he was currently in possession of the Millennium Ring, the spirit was still inside Bakura. Since the spirit was in the Shadow Realm for a while he was probably still recovering, yet could still speak inside Bakura, and possibly still take over him.

"Yugi, I'm nervous about this. If I remember correctly, it probably isn't good whenever I hear this voice."

Yugi understood, but wasn't sure what to do about it now. "Why don't you hang out with us for the rest of the day? We'll keep an eye out if something happens."

"That sounds good," Bakura responded. Yugi smiled. "Remember that video we showed you a while back?"

"Of course. Hard to forget something like that."

"Well, we're watching more of those videos, come join us." Bakura smiled and sat down with the others, who were still a little nervous, as the sprit could come out any minute. Yugi continued the video.

-Tea: There's something in the bushes.-

-*Bakura enters* [cue squealing fangirls] - Bakura giggled. "That would be cool to have fangirls. I bet you have a lot of fangirls Yugi," Bakura said. Yugi chuckled in reply.

-Bakura: Hello guys, it's me Bakura. I've been stalking you for the past five episodes. I hope that doesn't seem too suspicious.-

-Yugi: Do we know you? - "Wait, you guys forget about me?" Bakura asked. "No, it's just something in the videos," Yugi explained.

"Yeah, we could never forget you," Joey said. Tea elbowed him. "I-I mean in a good way. You're our friend," Joey added.

-Tristian: He does seem familiar somehow.-

-Joey: What's the deal with his inappropriate accent? - "What's wrong with my accent?" Bakura asked. "Nothing. While watching these videos, you can't take the personal jokes too seriously," Yugi explained.

"I see," Bakura said. "And what's up with the music?" Yugi and other others shrugged.

-Yugi: Let's all compare ourselves to our cards in order to set up a plot point for the next episode.-

-Joey: I'm the Flame Swordsman. - "Wrong swordsman Joey," Yugi said laughing. Joey laughed along too.

-Tristian: I'm the Cyber Commander. - "Well he technically is a cyber commander," Tristian said.

-Tea: I'm the Magician of Faith. - "Do any of you know who that is?" Tea asked. The others shook their heads.

-Yugi: And I'm the Dark Magician. - Yugi chuckled. -What about you Bakura?-

-Bakura: This is my favorite card. - "Whoa, I don't think I'd see myself using that card," Bakura said laughing. –Oops, wrong one. There we go, the Change of Heart. If you want to know how it works, we could have a duel right now.-

As the video continued, Bakura noticed the evil glare coming from him. "Oh my, I remember that," Bakura said in a weary tone.

-Yugi: That sounds innocent enough.-

As the music started playing, Bakura started becoming a little insecure as the spirit took over in the video.

-Bakura: By the way, there's something I'd like you to know.-

-Yami Bakura: You're a bunch of idiots.-

-Yugi: This came completely out of nowhere.-

-Yami Bakura: That's what you get for hogging all my screen time you little bitch. Now to take the Millennium puzzle, and steal your role as main character…What in Zorc's name is going on?-

-Yami: Get your hands off my puzzle you limey fruitcake-

-Yami Bakura: What say you and I have a card game to decide which one of us deserves to be the main character? And when I win, this show will be all mine! - "So it's a duel over who gets to be spotlighted?" Bakura asked chucking

-Yami: Ok, but who are you?-

-Yami Bakura: I'm Bakura.-

-Yami: Never heard of you. - "Is this a regular thing in these videos?" Bakura asked. Yugi and the others nodded. Bakura shrugged his shoulders.

- [Yami vs Bakura place your bets] - "I'm placing mine on the Pharaoh," Yugi said. "Same," everyone else said, including Bakura.

-And now, a very special message from the cast and crew of Yu-Gi-Oh…- "Wait, what's going on now?" Yugi asked.

-Yami: Hi folks. Here at Yu-Gi-Oh we like to have a good laugh as much as the next guy, but there comes a time when the laughter must stop, and that's usually when somebody dies. Recently, a treasured member of our cast passed away. His name was Tristian Taylors voice. - "Wait, they made a dedication to my other voice?" Tristian asked.

"I think it's necessary," Joey said chuckling. Tristian sighed.

-Tea: He meant so much to all of us. He made us laugh, made us cry. I can't believe he's really gone.-

-Yugi: When I first heard that Tristian's voice had died, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. His voice was like family to me.-

-Joey: I was with him when his voice passed away. His voice had been struggling to overcome an addiction to alcohol, and, well, one thing lead to another. - "I don't drink alcohol," Tristian protested. "You don't, but apparently your voice does," Joey said.

-Joey: Tristian's voice, have you been drinking?-

-Tristian: I can't remember because I'm so drunk.-

-Joey: Hey wait, don't run with those scissors!-

-Tristian: You're not the boss of me! Ouch!-

-Joey: Oh no, he's dead. - "How do you kill a voice with scissors?" Tea asked chuckling.

-Mai: What happened was just terrible. I'd never want anything bad to happen to my voice.-

-Mokuba: Neither would I.-

-Yami: And so we dedicate this episode to the memory of Tristian's voice. Good night sweet prince, and a flight of angels sing thee to thy rest. - "Never knew the Pharaoh could be so poetic," Yugi said.

As the next screenshot displayed, everyone was quiet and calm. "That was actually really sweet," Tea said.

Tristian smiled. "Yeah, it was nice. But what's nicer is the fact I have a voice that doesn't make me sound like an idiot."

"Yea, we know," Joey said. The gang remained quiet as the video faded to black.

-Mokuba: NINTENDO SIXTY-FOUUUR!- "And that got me out of the mood," Tea said.

After the video ended, Joey's stomach started growling. "Looks like I've worked up an appetite."

"Why don't we head out and get something to eat, and you can join us Bakura," Yugi said. Bakura smiled and nodded. As the gang was making their way out, Yugi thought he noticed a smirk coming from Bakura. After doing a double take, he noticed Bakura looked normal again.

"Can you sense him?" Yami asked. "I thought I saw him for a moment. We better be careful." Yami nodded in agreement. "Oh by the way, I think you should take up poetry."

"Poetry? Why would you say that?"

"I just have a feeling you'd be good at it," Yugi said smiling as he caught up to the others.

For those of you waiting for Yami Bakura, he's coming next time ;)

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I know I sure did. And now come the month of craziness for me.

Next time: Episode 9 – El Juegos De Tarjeta. Duel Standby!
