Yami Bakura: What the bloody hell are we doing in here!?

Hiding for the surprise party!

Joey: It's so cramped in here though, can't we just hide under the tables?

No way, we all need to be in the same place. Therefore we're all together when we surprise him.

Everyone: …

Just be quiet, he'll be here soon. In the meantime…

CorinnetheAnime: I was laughing while I was writing that part too! XD

Miakitty23: Thank you, enjoy the chapter!

Sherein22: Oh man, that's one of my favorite scenes from the series!

Above the Winter Moonlight: Thankfully this is Teddy's only appearance in the series *shivers* Enjoy the chapter!

Shiun'in Ventus: Oh man, that episodes coming up! I can't wait to write that chapter!

Bunnychu15: Well, Mokuba will be in this chapter, but I'm saving Kaiba for episode 24. And of course, Duke's episode is next!

Reydrago: I actually haven't seen Arc-V yet, so I don't know much about what decks are used. ^^' But I'm sure when I watch it, I'll know what deck Teddy would use.

Owieeey: They will react to the music videos in another fanfic after this one.

FANactic Writer: Ha, yeah. His reactions are based on how my grandpa and I joke around when we hang out.

LadyRaider92: Teddy describes hell and dying, and I didn't want to repeat a certain name he said. Grandpa's reactions were based on my own grandpa, who likes to joke around too. Rebecca will appear again in season 4. Well, not all jokes are for everyone.

Duskrider: I've seen 1kidsentertainment's Pokémon abridged, and I'm planning on watching DBZ abridged sometime before I die.

S Danyal Allen: I hope you enjoy the chapter!

The Creative Creator: Welcome to the party! Hope you enjoy the rest of the story and have fun! (btw, I love your username. ^^)

Thedarkpokemaster: I bet Rebecca feels glad that she doesn't have the bear anymore. ;)

Saffira Artemis: Thank you so much, hearing comments like that make me feel very happy. Duke's coming soon, next chapter! Almost time for Battle City!

Dragon Goddess: I'm so excited for Battle City! I have plans for all those reactions, and as for the drinking game, we'll see what happens. ;) Pharaoh's throne will be done in a different fanfic after this one.

Guest: The Teddy bear…*shivers*

GlaresThatKill: I'm happy you found this story! I always love new readers! That's awesome, now you can really follow along! XD

AnimaniAshley: Thanks for understanding! You'll find out why June 4th is important in the Author Note at the end. ;)

TTY7: Possibly, but I'm not sure he would have been able to handle some of the earlier jokes (i.e Solomon x Black Luster Soldier). I unfortunately didn't write Kaiba in this chapter, but Mokuba will be here, if that's anything. ^^'

Skylinemaster: Sometimes this website will mess with you, probably won't happen again. ^^'

Ronin warriors fanatic: It's nice to have a backup website. The music videos will be in another fanfic after this one.

-Abridged series-

"Ming speaking"

Normal dialogue

After school the next day, the gang headed to the coffee shop to grab a drink and watch the next video. When they got there, they noticed how busy the place was and how there were no empty tables to watch the next video. Yugi then noticed a familiar face sitting at a table by himself.

"Mokuba?"

"Oh, hey guys!" Mokuba replied looking up from what he was doing and smiling.

"What are you doing out here? Shouldn't you be helping Kaiba or something?" Tristan asked.

"My brother gave me some work to do, and I figured I'd come here since it's really nice out today," Mokuba replied.

"Looks like all of us had the same idea of spending time outside. Mind if we sit here with you? All the other tables are full," Yugi asked.

"Fine by me."

"Thanks, we won't be too distracting…at least, we'll try not to be." The gang sat on the other side, brought up the video on Joey's laptop, had to skip an ad, and the video began.

-LittleKuriboh created the Abridged Series. It evolved. There are many copies. – "But none will be as good as the original," Joey said.

-Kaiba: I can't believe the five of you tried to take over my company.-

-Mokuba: And don't forget how they kidnapped me.-

-Kaiba: Yeah, that too. – Mokuba looked up from his work. "Wait, is that…?"

"Oh yeah, hope you don't mind if we watch this video," Yugi said.

"Is it part of a series about our lives?"

"…Yeah, have you seen these videos?"

"Some of them."

"Want to watch this one with us?" Yugi finally asked.

"No thanks," Mokuba said a little angrily before getting back to his work. Everyone shrugged and continued the video.

-Gansley: Mr. Kaiba, please let us explain. We were just pretending to work for Pegasus.-

-Kaiba: I instantly forgive you. – "Never thought I'd hear that from Moneybags," Joey said. Tea quickly elbowed him and glanced at Mokuba. Joey looked over and noticed Mokuba was giving him a small glare. "Heh, just forget I said that," he said turning a little red.

-Kaiba: But I'm still pretty sore about that whole trying to kill me thing.-

-Johnson: By the way, we finished work on your new virtual card game system. Feel free to test it out, if you dare.-

-Kaiba: Kay thanks. – The gang giggled at how he said it and how quick he said it.

-Mokuba: Wait Seto! It's clearly a trap! Why are you being so gullible and out of character? – "My brother is not gullible," Mokuba said quietly to himself.

-Kaiba: Initiate log-on sequence.-

-Computer: We're sorry, the sever you're attempting to join is currently experiencing loading issues. Please standby until we correct this problem.-

-Several hours later… - Joey smirked. "Looks like Kaiba's computer is stuck in the 90's," he said chuckling. Mokuba pretended not to hear that.

-Kaiba: Once I finish playing this childish video game, I'll arrest those guys for trying to murder me.-

-Mokuba: Wake up Seto, it's time for my story! Hello? – "Did Kaiba use to read you stories when you were younger?" Tea asked.

"Gozaburo would always keep him really busy," Mokuba said while looking at his papers.

-Johnson: Your brother can't hear you anymore. We've made him addicted to online gaming.-

-Mokuba: You bastards! – Mokuba actually smirked with the thought of him telling them off.

-Kemo: Attention duelists! My hair will huff, and my hair will puff, and my hair will blow your house in! – "Attention duelists, it's been a while since we've seen his hair," Tristan said, followed by the others laughing.

-Guard: He's escaped!-

-Guard 2: He must have crawled through the ventilation shaft.-

-Kemo: Hey Mom, you'll never guess what just happened…oh hi Dad. – "Awkward!" Tristan said in a high-pitched voice.

-Kemo: Can you put mom on the line? What do you mean she's asleep? Wake her up then! – "Boys, if there's one thing you should know, never wake up a woman when she's sleeping," Tea said.

"Wouldn't think of it," Joey said.

*title sequence*

-Joey: Okay gramps, hand over all your money and Tristan won't have to break your kneecaps. – Yugi looked at Joey and Tristan. "Don't you dare accuse us of doing anything like that!" Joey quickly said.

Yugi chuckled, "I wouldn't think of it. I know you guys too well."

-Solomon: Whoever you are, please don't hurt me.-

-Mokuba: I'm wet in more ways than one. – "TMI," Tea said. Mokuba rolled his eyes and was considering heading back to Kaibacorp.

-Yugi: Your brother's been kidnapped?-

-Mokuba: Yes, that is exactly what I just finished telling you. I didn't know who else to turn to, so I came here.-

-Joey: Forget about it. There's no way we're helping your brother. He smells like wee-wee. – Mokuba slammed a fist on the table. "See, those videos are aggravating, not funny like I first thought. They keep insulting everyone."

"I wouldn't call it insulting, they're really funny…most of the time," Joey said. Mokuba rolled his eyes and continued his work.

-Mokuba: But he's been trapped inside a video game world where monsters are…-

-Joey: Did you just say video game?-

-Mokuba: Yes, but it's very dangerous…-

-Yugi: Come on, let's go play the video game! Anything to take a break from these crappy card games. – "Nope, Duel Monsters is not a crappy game. I've said that so many times before, and I mean it!" Yugi said proudly.

-Yugi: Bye Gramps, you'd better have that money when we get back!-

-Solomon: I'm going to die of pneumonia, hooray! – Yugi's head fell to the table. "Why?" he said throwing his arms up.

"Doesn't that bother you that they're making fun of your grandpa?" Mokuba asked.

"At first it did, but I've gotten used to it. Now I don't take it too seriously, because I know that isn't really Grandpa," Yugi explained.

Mokuba looked at the table. "Maybe I could give them a second chance…but I still don't know."

-Tea: Um, Yugi? Before you go, there's something I need to tell you.-

-Yugi: Don't worry Tea, I know all about it.-

-Tea: Really?-

-Yugi: Yeah, you're in love with me right? – Tea and Yugi both blushed at the statement.

-Tea: Actually, I'm in love with your sexy alter-ego. – Tea's blush became darker, while Yugi's blush disappeared. He looked down with a look of disappointment, along with an 'I sort of already knew' look.

-Yugi: Oh, well this is kind of awkward.-

-Joey: Bye darling!-

-Tristan: Ix-nay on the arling-day. – "No! Not you too! What is it with everyone trying to put me together with someone?" Joey asked.

"Well I'm not too fond of it either," Tristan said.

-Yugi: This virtual world Kaiba created is super special awesome. It's like walking into an episode of ReBoot. – "Hey, Tristan and I are going to see what you guys did in the virtual world," Tea said.

"That's true," Yugi said.

-Fairy: Hello! – "Oh no, please don't tell me…" Joey started.

-Joey: Nyeh?-

-Fairy: Hey, listen! Hey, listen! – "Great, please tell me this isn't going to be played throughout the video," Joey said.

-Joey: Man, this fairy this really annoying. Let's kill it. Get back here you. I'm going to rip your wings off with a pair of tweezers. Damn, it got away. – "Good thing it did, being annoying does not warrant being killed," Tea said.

"Hey, listen…" Joey quickly covered his mouth while smirking. "I mean…here's what I have to say. I'd never kill anyone if they were annoying…possibly."

-Mokuba: Look, it's Agrabah. Let's go find the genie voiced by Robin Williams, and occasionally by Dan Castellaneta, he'll save my brother. – The gang paused the video and had a moment of silence.

-Yugi: What the hell are you doing here Mai?-

-Mai: I've been beta testing this game for Kaibacorp.-

-Yugi: That's just about the least likely story I've ever heard. – "Eh, I was able to see her doing something like that," Joey said.

-Tristan: I've been thinking, what if we're all part of some enormous virtual world. What if we exist in a fictional universe created by some Japanese guy who likes card games?-

-Tea: Tristan that is without a doubt the dumbest thing you've ever said. – "Sorry Tristan, but that is pretty dumb," Joey said.

"Even I agree with that myself. Who's calling us 'fiction?' That's crazy," Tristan said. The gang suddenly felt a weird feeling, along with Mokuba. Everyone looked around for a moment…and then slowly turned to the computer to continue watching the video.

-Kemo: And so then I said 'Attention duelists!' Man you should've been there. – "Oh yes, I'm sure hearing you say 'Attention duelists' was one of the best moments in the whole world," Tea said sarcastically.

Everyone laughed along, even Mokuba smiled a little.

-Tristan: Uh-oh, we're in trouble. Something's come along and it's burst our bubble.-

-Tea: Yeah, yeah. – "Is now really a good time to start singing?" Tea asked.

"According to them it is," Tristan said.

-Adena: Hello, I'm Princess Adena.-

-Joey: This is just wrong. – "What wrong with Seto making a character in his virtual reality based on me?" Mokuba asked.

"Well…uh…I think the video is referencing the…gender…" Yugi tried explaining.

Mokuba shrugged his shoulders. "Didn't really bother me."

-Mokuba: I've never been more traumatized in my entire life. Why would my brother create something so twisted? – "I just said it didn't bother me!" Mokuba said a little louder.

-Joey: Now do you see why we hate him so much?-

-Adena: Welcome to the land of Simlou. Every year, my people are beset by a terrible evil. A mythic dragon descends from high to devour the…-

-Yugi: Question.-

-Adena: Um, yes?-

-Yugi: Just what the hell are you anyway? Are you a boy or a girl? – "Wow Yug, interrupting her to ask her gender? Disrespectful," Joey said giving Yugi a small ruffle on the hair.

"Hey!" Yugi said jokingly.

-Joey: Maybe it's a shemale, you know, like Bakura. – "Heh, good thing he isn't here to hear that," Tristan said.

-Mokuba: Whatever it is it's going to haunt my dreams for the rest of my life. – "I said…never mind," Mokuba said once again.

-Adena: Excuse me brave heroes, I'm trying to tell you about the suffering of my people.-

-Yugi: I think it's pretty obvious why your people are suffering. Their ruler is a transvestite. – Yugi blushed. "H-How would that affect the suffering…and…why did it have to be me to say it?"

"Like I said, disrespectful," Joey said.

-Adena: The only way to defeat the mythic dragon is by resurrecting the ancient flying machine which…-

-Yugi: Why weren't you censored anyway? I mean, what? Guns are bad but crossdressing princesses are A-Okay? – "Well, technically it isn't crossdressing since she is a girl, and guns can have negative…wait…censor?" Yugi stopped, realizing what else was said.

-Kaiba: What the hell is going on? Why haven't I had any screen time?-

-Phantom: You've been kidnapped Seto Kaiba.-

-Kaiba: That's already been established. Just what the hell is the point of this scene?-

-Phantom: It gives the fangirls a chance to see you in chains.-

-Kaiba: Grr…. – The gang sighed and shook their heads. Joey shrunk down in his seat a little. Mokuba rubbed his forehead and sighed.

-Mai: Speaking of fanservice, check me out.-

-Yugi: I can't believe Tea likes Yami more than me. – "That's not true!" Tea said all of a sudden before covering her mouth and blushing.

Yugi looked at her. "Tea?"

"I like both of you, you both are important," she said. Yugi had an understanding smile on his face before turning back to the computer. Tea sighed and her blush disappeared.

-Mai: Forget about her kiddo, you deserve a real women, like me.-

-Yugi: Mrs. Valentine, are you trying to seduce me? – Yugi blushed…again. His face might as well stay red for the remainder of the chapter.

-Joey: You know what the difference is between you and me? I make this look good. – "I beg to differ," Joey said.

-Mai: It's a whole army of Duel Monsters!-

-Yugi: They got Princess Adena!-

-Joey: Thank God for that, she was really freaking me out. – "Well well, look who's the disrespectful one now," Yugi said.

Joey smiled and chuckled.

-Adena: Oh no! They kidnapped Mokuba!-

-Joey: Why the heck was Mokuba dressed like you!?-

-Adena: Um, well…-

*flashback*

-Mokuba: Let's trade outfits. I've always wanted to look pretty. – The gang tried holding back their laugher, since Mokuba was right there. Mokuba shook his head.

-Yugi: Looks like we'll have to resurrect the ancient flying machine.-

-Joey: I activate the Ocarina of Time.-

Everyone smiled as the music started played. Mokuba was also calming down. "That music sounds really relaxing. I'll have to remember that," he thought.

-Joey: That made no sense whatsoever. – "Not everything does," Tristan said laughing, followed by the others.

-Mai: Hooray!-

-Joey: Nipples! – This time it was Joey's turn to blush.

-Phantom: I brought you a little present Kaiba.-

-Mokuba: Seto!-

-Kaiba: Mokuba? Why the hell were you dressed like a girl?-

-Mokuba: Oh like you've never tried it. – Images started forming in the gangs minds, and they quickly disappeared, leaving discomfort in the gang. Mokuba also got a weird image, and quickly got rid of it, shaking his head.

-Mokuba: Ha! Swordstocker free my brother!-

-Kaiba: Time for a trip to the recycle bin Phantom, and then once you're in the recycle bin, I'm going to right-click on it and select 'empty recycle bin,' because otherwise you would just be taking up unnecessary space. – "Yeah yeah, we get it," Tristan said.

-Kaiba: In other words, I'm going to kill you. Come forth! Blue-Eyes!-

-Phantom: No! This was so avoidable!-

-Kaiba: If anybody asks, I rescued you.-

-Mokuba: Yes big brother. – "He really likes playing the hero here, doesn't he?" Joey asked.

"Well Seto is a hero, what else do you expect?" Mokuba said.

-Gansley: We can't let those brats escape the virtual world in one piece. – "Now I feel like playing an actual video game now," Tea said.

-Johnson: That's right, so let's all stand up dramatically at the same time. Excellent. – "And…what's that supposed to do again?" Yugi asked laughing.

"Hey, let's stand up dramatically at the same time!" Joey said. Everyone did so, but not all together.

After a couple more tries, they finally all stood up at the same time. Mokuba chuckled at their attempts. The gang laughed as they sat back down, avoiding the wandering eyes from other people looking at them.

-Joey: Hey Kaiba, we're here to rescue you.-

-Kaiba: That won't be necessary, I'm kind of free already.-

-Joey: Then what the heck was the point of the princess and the flying machine and all that other crap we did? – "Even if there wasn't a point,it was still pretty cool," Joey said.

-Big 5: Hahahahaha! Well done all of you! You've reached the last stage. Now get ready to face the final boss!-

-Kaiba: They're hacking into the computer system.-

-Big 5: Once we destroy you, people will soon jump to the conclusion that video games are dangerous, and then all video games will be banned! – "I don't think that's a well thought out plan," Yugi said laughing.

-Kaiba: Listen pal, you can try to take over my company. You can kidnap my little brother. You can even try to kill me. But when you f*ck around with video games, you've gone too far.-

-Yami: It's time to slay the dragon!-

Everyone took note of the music playing in the background. "Wow, that's actually pretty cool!" Tristan said.

"That song sounds amazing! Anyone know what it's from?" Joey asked.

"No idea," Tea said. "But I like it."

Yugi also had a smile on his face. "Can you hear it too Pharaoh?"

Yami appeared next to Yugi and chuckled. "I can see a lot of people liking this."

-Big 5: NO!-

-You gain 500 exp. You collect a rusty dagger. - "Always nice to get some exp," Yugi said smiling.

-Yami: This loot system sucks!-

-Adena: Welcome back brave heroes. You have saved our people.-

-Yami: Let's get out of here, that fairy is starting to piss me off. – "Join the club," Joey said.

-Joey: That game was more disappointing than Fable.-

-Tea: Tristan do I look fat? – "Um…why?" Tea asked, a little embarrassed.

-Tristan: Little busy here.-

-Tea: Yugi, you're okay.-

-Yugi: That's right Jezebel, I mean Tea. – Tea glanced at Yugi, who smiled embarrassingly and…you guess it…was blushing.

-Mokuba: Now that we're out of the video game, you guys can't do a thing to me!-

-Kemo: Actually we can still beat the crap out of you.-

-Mokuba: Oh yeah.-

-Kemo: Hold still you little punk!-

-Mokuba: Ow! My ribs! Ow! My other ribs! – Suddenly, the laptop was closed forcefully. Mokuba had his work gathered up and looked angry. "I'm done listening to that," he said. And with that, he got up and headed out.

Joey opened the laptop back up and was glad there was no damage. "I guess these videos aren't for everyone." He then noticed there was a little more left, so he resumed the video.

-Yugi: Tristan, why are you punching him?-

-Tristan: I don't know. – "If Mokuba was still here, then I'd probably be dead after that," Tristan said.

"I guess it's game over," Yugi said as the credits played.

-[princess edena will return…in your nightmares]-

Everyone chuckled as Feel Good started playing and the laughing synched up with Kaiba.

-Kemo: Attention mother! I've just been told I'm not gonna be in any more episodes after this one. My hair is crying! I don't have anywhere else to go. Can I move in with you? – "Aww, so this is the last time we'll see him?" Tea asked mockingly sad.

"Attention duelists, my hair is sad," Yugi said. "But we'll always remember him, even if he's now living with his mother."

Tea looked around for a moment, and noticed someone familiar. "Hey guys, look over there! Is that…?"

Yugi's eyes widened. "It is!" He got up and waved the person over, calling his name. "Hey! Duke!"

Seems like Mokuba needs to lighten up a little, but with jokes like that, who can blame him for being angry…*gasps* Guys, I heard him come in.

Yami Bakura: Great! I'm out of here!

Wait! If you open the door, we're all going to…AH! *Crash*

Yugi: *looks at everyone on the floor* Uh…

Everyone: …HAPPY BIRTHDAY YUGI!

Yugi: *laughs* Oh guys, you shouldn't have!

But June 4th is your special day! (Well, today's June 4th for me, I may or may not be a day off elsewhere in the world ^^') And look, Atem came back to celebrate!

Atem: I've been here the whole time.

Yeah that's nice, anyway all my readers are invited to this party! :D Be sure to wish our favorite baby panda, cinnamon roll, Yugi-muffin, whatever you call him a happy birthday! Now let's get this party started, once Tristan and Duke decided on a theme song.

Next time, episode 22: Shine on, you Crazy Devlin. Duel Standby!
