Hello everyone! We are finally back! I wanted to upload this last month, but a couple of things happened near the end, and it took a toll on my writing motivation. But we are now back. I will hopefully upload another chapter by the end of the month, and then continue with monthly updates until I'm fully back writing this.
Since it's been a while, I apologize if this isn't the best chapter ever. I have to get back in the mojo of writing these again, but I still hope you like it.
Finally, in the past, I have answered reviews in the author notes. I'll still do that, but from now on, they will be at the end of the chapter. This way, you can get started reading the chapter faster and you don't have to scroll down to start reading. With all that said, I hope you enjoy.
I still don't own Yugioh, even after all these years.
-Abridged series-
"Mind speaking"
Normal dialogue
Yugi followed his friends to the coffee shop down the street from the school. It was nice out, and the group decided to spend the rest of the day outdoors. Joey brought his laptop with him and was getting it set up to watch another episode of the video series.
"Man, we haven't done this in a while," Tea remarked as she came back with drinks for everyone. Placing them on the table, everyone grabbed their drinks as Joey clicked on the next video.
"I know, it honestly feels like it's been years since we watched one of these," Joey said.
"NOT FUNNY!" a voice called out. The group looked around, surprised and trying to find the source of the voice. As they did, Yugi saw someone else across the street.
"Hey guys, over there!" Yugi said pointing. The others looked over and saw Mako walking by. "Hey! Mako!" Yugi called. Said person looked over and saw the group. Waving at them, he crossed the street at a nearby crosswalk and met up with them.
"Long time no see. How are you guys doing?" he asked.
"We're doing fine. We were just about to watch another video? Did you want to join us?" Tea asked.
"Are those the same videos you guys were watching a while ago?" he asked. Everyone nodded. Mako sighed. "I guess I have some time, why not?" Mako said sitting at a table. "Its nice out today."
"Sure is," Bakura said as Tea went back inside to get a drink for Mako. "I'm curious about what is going to happen in this video."
"I think it's still in Battle City," Tristan said. Tea finally came out with a water for Mako. "Alright, now that we're all here, let's get started." And with that, Joey hit the play button.
Meanwhile, in Egypt Marik had gone out to the market again. He went to the stand with the computer. The vendor once again told him he could use the computer if needed. Marik saw the videos and decided, why not? He clicked on the video, which showed his face in the thumbnail.
-Yami: I can't believe the cancelled Viva Pinata! It had talking CGI pinatas, what more do you want? – "Oh, that sounds pretty cool." Tea said. "Shame it got cancelled."
"Hey Yug, if you had to choose a pinata animal, what would it be?" Joey asked.
"Hmmm," Yugi thought. "How about a blue horse that is a performer and has an ego?"
"…Where did that come from Yug?"
"… it just kind of came to me."
-Tristan: Hey look, it's some random stranger we've never met before.-
-Joey: Excuse me pal, but have you seen any minor characters from season one around here?-
-Bakura: Actually guys it's me, Bakura. I was a minor character in season one, remember? – "Don't tell me you guys forgot about me already," Bakura said.
"Not like we do in these videos," Tristan said.
-Joey: Sorry pal, doesn't ring a bell. Wait, we're you one of the paradox brothers? – "Oh I see, you remember the paradox brothers, whom you've only seen once, but you don't remember me, after everything that we've been through," Bakura said.
-Tristan: Maybe he's Yugi's grandpa.-
-Solomon: I'm standing right over here.-
-Tristan: It's still possible. – "No it isn't video Tristan," the real Tristan stated.
-Tea: Look guys, Mako Tsunami is performing at the local aquarium. – "Did a four-year-old really make that poster?" Tea asked.
"No…" Mako said. "I was the one who made that poster. Not my best work, but I was rushing to get this out before the performance."
"If you had more time, could you make something even better than that?" Yugi asked.
"Of course I can," Mako said confidently.
-Joey: Mako Tsunami! I recognize him anywhere. He's the minorest of minor characters. I smell a card game! – "Nah, if we're going along with calling everyone a 'character,' there are other options for who could be the minorest of minor characters," Tea said.
"Hey, I like the way you think Tea," Mako commented. "No way a duelist like Mako Tsunami is a 'minor character'!" Joey snickered to himself.
-Bakura: Oh come on! You remember that wanker but you don't know who I am? We go to the same bloody school!-
-Joey: Tristan is that guy talking to us?-
-Tristan: It's difficult to say.-
-Bakura: Oh sod off. – "Well said," Bakura said with a slight hint of smugness.
"Hey, did you guys just hear something?" Joey asked. "I could've sworn someone just said something, but I barely heard it."
"Oh sod off!" Bakura yelled as Joey started laughing. Everyone else joined in, even Bakura couldn't help but start laughing.
*Intro sequence*
Mako: Ha ha ha! I, Mako Tsunami, love the ocean and all the creatures that dwell within it. That is why I forced this captured whale to perform degrading tricks for the amusement of the Japanese public. – "Man, that's pretty grim," Joey said.
"We could go on for a while talking about that, but let's leave that for another day," Tea said.
-Joey: Yo, freaky fish guy! What are you doing working in an aquarium? I figured you'd be trying to win the Battle City Tournament like everybody else. – "What did you just call me" Mako asked turning towards Joey.
"Uh…" Joey tried saying. "Look… if you want to get mad at someone, get mad at that person," he said pointing at the screen and trying to save face.
-Mako: A lot has changed since season one Joey Wheeler. I am not the duelist I used to be. You see, the ocean and I… we are separated. – "Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that Mako," Tea said.
"I remember back in Duelist Kingdom, you loved the ocean," Yugi said. "What happened?"
"Wait… Are these videos implying that I… How is that even remotely possible!?" Mako yelled.
"Oh yeah, you weren't here for all the other times you were married to the ocean," Tristan said. "Basically, the 'you' in these videos was married to the ocean. You would talk about how you were in love and how the ocean always agrees with you."
"I do love the ocean, but loving it so much that I would marry it!? That's impossible!" Mako said. "Also, if people see me as someone that would marry the ocean, then they would think I'm…"
"A freaky fish guy!" Joey and Tristan both finished. Tea facepalmed and Yugi and Bakura slowly scooted away from the others.
"Want to repeat that to me?" Mako asked making a fist. Joey and Tristan quickly shook their heads as the video continued.
-Joey: What…?-
-Mako: You heard me. We are divorced. Now I am dating this aquarium, which is a pretty sweet gig actually. She's a lot younger than the ocean which has its benefits, and she appreciates me, unlike my ex-wife who would always give me the silent treatment. – "Well isn't that a shock," Mako said, knowing that there was nothing he could do or say about the video.
-Mako: Isn't that right Aquarium? …The Aquarium says yes. – "So, you went from dating a body of water to dating a building with water," Tristan said. "If I had to choose, I'd go with the ocean."
"Why is that?" Tea asked.
Tristan shrugged. "I don't know, kind of sounds cool."
"And then I would call you a freaky fish guy," Joey said. Tristan's eyes widened a bit.
-Joey: Look, I don't care about any of that stuff. I just wanna play a card game with you.-
-Mako: Well you should care Joey Wheeler, because it's your fault the ocean left me in the first place. – "My fault!?" Joey exclaimed.
"Oh this I have to hear," Tea said.
-Joey: what the heck are you talking about!?-
-Mako: Ever since you called me a 'freaky fish guy,' I haven't been able to escape it. All over the world, people see me and shout 'Hey it's that freaky fish guy. Want to throw harpoons at us freaky fish guy?' And all because I once threw a harpoon at somebody. Does that mean I deserve to be labeled a 'freaky fish guy?' It's not like I make a habit out of it. – "Maybe try not throwing harpoons at everyone? That's a start," Yugi said.
"I haven't done that in forever. I'm a new man, and duelist!" Mako proclaimed.
-Kid: Hey dad, I want to see the freaky fish guy make the whale jump over a rock like in Free Willy-GAHHHH! – Everyone covered their eyes at the kid getting harpooned. "Ugh, gross!" Tea exclaimed.
-Joey: Mako!-
-Mako: What? That could've been anybody harpoon. – "Except who's the only one around here who owns a harpoon?" Joey asked.
Everyone looked at Mako, who was gazing at everyone else. "…Tristan?" he asked.
"Hey!" he replied.
-Marik: Get your motor running, head out on the highway, looking for adventure, and whatever comes our way-AH! - "Oh boy, here we go!" Yugi exclaimed. "Wonder what's going to happen with him this time."
In Egypt, Marik was now paying full attention to the video. Watching the first part, he thought it was pretty good, making him laugh a couple of times. But now that his part was coming up, he was paying more attention. Marik was trying to think back to Battle City. "Alright, what was going on during this time?"
-Marik: What the crap? You almost got us both killed jackass!-
Yami Bakura: So you are the source of the gay signal I've been tracking. – "Oh, right…" Marik realized.
Back in Domino City, Yugi and the others gasped. "That's right! Marik and Bakura we're working together for a while!" Yugi remembered.
"Wonder how these videos are going to portray this?" Joey said.
"Me too," Bakura wondered. Suddenly, Bakura felt something in his mind, and fell unconscious for a split second. Once he regained conscious, Yami Bakura had taken over, without the other noticing. "Not these videos again," he thought. "I have to make sure they don't spoil any part of my plan to defeat the pharaoh!"
-Yami Bakura: Though I probably could have deduced that without the use of my gaydar. It seems we both have…-
-Marik: What? Whoa, whoa, hold on now! You think I'm… Look I'll have you know that I like women.-
-Yami Bakura: No doubt. That's probably why you've dressed yourself like one. – "What?" Marik asked out loud. He just so happened to be wearing that exact outfit today. He looked down at himself, and back at the video. "What wrong with this outfit? I think this is a pretty nice one," he said to himself. "Makes my hair and eyes stand out."
Yami Bakura, however, chuckled to himself. "Guess that's one way to put it," he said quietly.
-Yami Bakura: Face it, you're about as manly as a Square Enix character. Shall I call you captain Basch from Dalmasca? – "Who?" Marik asked himself.
-Marik: Silence fool! I would run you down with my obligatory anime motorcycle, but I just noticed you have a millennium item, what is the deal with that? – "Hang on a second," Joey interrupted. "Something just occurred to me."
"What's that?" Yugi asked.
"Okay, so you know how these videos imply that Duel Monsters will be played with motorcycles?"
"Yes?"
"I bet it was Marik who gave Pegasus the idea! He did say he had an obligatory motorcycle. I bet he went to Pegasus and pitch the idea! Makes sense, right?"
Everyone started at Joey, even Yami Bakura. "Joey, I have a motorcycle as well, you could make that same argument with me," Tristan said.
Joey thought for a moment and sighed. "I guess you're right, but if anyone is going to pitch the idea, it has to be someone who owns a motorcycle themselves."
-Yami Bakura: Oh my Millennium ring? Yes, that's mine. I use it to manipulate the fabric of time and space, bending it to my will in order to create shambling monstrosities the feed on the souls of the living. And sometimes I just use it to find gay people. – "Oh no, not this again," Yami Bakura muttered to himself. "The ring only finds people with a Millennium item, not people who are gay."
-Marik: Why would you want to do that?-
-Yami Bakura: Secretly, I'm very lonely. – "I mean, he's an evil spirit that wants to cause destruction everywhere and send everybody to the shadow realm. Of course he wouldn't have many friends, if any at all," Yugi said. Yami Bakura grinned evilly. He didn't need friends, they would only distract him from his plans.
Marik shook his head. "When the time comes for the pharaoh to recover his memories, I'm afraid you won't have any friends for a long time." Still, he couldn't help but feel bad for this version of Yami Bakura, but only this version.
Back in Domino, Mako nudged Yugi. "Hey, weren't they finalists in Battle City? What's all this about?"
Yugi chuckled. "It's a long story. You don't have to worry about it." Mako shrugged as the video continued.
-Mako: You are going to pay for ruining my marriage Joey Wheeler! And when I defeat you in this children's card game, you'll have no choice but to admit that I'm am not a freaky fish guy.-
-Joey: If I do, will you promise to stop throwing harpoons at people.-
-Mako: I only did it twice. It's not like I…-
-Joey: Then what about Grandpa? – "Agh!" Yugi yelped, looking away at seeing Solomon stabbed with a harpoon. "That was awful!"
-Mako: Okay, maybe I went a little overboard.-
-Joey: A little? – "A little?" everyone shouted at the same time (minus Yami Bakura). Once everyone realized what they all said, they started laughing.
Yami Bakura smirked a little. "Hmm, I like this guy," he thought.
-Mako: Well what else am I supposed to do with a harpoon? – "Leave it? Throw it away? Break it?" Tea suggested. "Anything but throwing it at people, or animals."
"Hey, I know. I have a lot of harpoon, and there are many models. I could keep them as a collection, maybe put them on display for people to look at," Mako said.
Tea shrugged. "Well, it's better than throwing them at everyone."
-Joey: That's your answer to everything, isn't it? Just throw a harpoon at the problem.-
-Mako: You sound juts like my ex-wife, even though she never actually said anything. – "Maybe you'll listen to Joey, and he'll tell you how it is, right Joey?" Tristan asked.
Joey's mouth was shut, not making a sound.
"Joey says yes," Tristan said. Everyone started laughing with Mako shaking his head.
-Joey: And that's why you guys ended up getting divorced, because you didn't communicate. You can't build a healthy relationship on…-
-Mako: Listen, I would sooner kill myself than take relationship advice from a furry. – "Oh no, not that again!" Joey said.
"Hey, got you to speak," Mako said.
-Mako: So please, shut your damn mouth before I harpoon it shut. – "I don't want to think about how that would work," Tristan said.
"Hmph, if only it were that easy," Yami Bakura thought.
"Ugh, what's with this video and all of the violence," Mako said.
"Oh believe me, this is nothing compared to other videos," Yugi said.
-Marik: My name is Marik.-
-Yami Bakura: I don't care. – "Ha, that's actually pretty funny," Joey said laughing. Yami Bakura would never in a million years admit this, but he agreed with Joey (although he found it funny because it was true).
Marik was now paying more attention. He was curious to see how this conversation would go, though the video was bringing back his memories of teaming up with Yami Bakura. "Not my best moment," he thought.
-Marik: Well that was kind of insensitive. No wonder you're so lonely. – Tea laughed. "Tell him Marik," she said, with Yami Bakura shooting a glare towards her.
-Yami Bakura: Oh like you're mister popular.-
Marik: I don't need friends. I have brainwashed an army of Steve's to do my bidding in order to defeat the pharaoh and claim his power for my own. Also I might kill him.-
-Yami Bakura: You might kill him? You mean you don't know?-
-Marik: Look, I never said my plan was well-thought out. Just that it was incredibly evil. – Everyone started laughing. "Alright I'll admit it. I kind of like this version of Marik a little more than the real deal," Tristan said.
"I agree with ya. There's just something about him that makes him pretty funny," Joey replied. Yugi and Tea nodded in agreement. Mako chuckled at little at the group's reactions. Yami Bakura just rolled his eyes.
Marik hated to admit it, but this video version of himself did have a point.
-Yami Bakura: Still seems like a rather important detail to just skim over like that.-
-Marik: Well excuuuuse me princess, your plan isn't much better you know. What, you're going to wait 200 episodes just so that you can give an eyeball to a guy and hope he flies to Egypt with it? – Yami Bakura's eyes widened. That had been his plan, to take the Millennium eye and give it to Kaiba. He quickly looked at Yugi, who was confused.
"When he says 'eyeball,' is he referring to the Millennium eye?" Yugi asked worried. Yami Bakura was hoping that he wouldn't realize what his plan would be.
"Yugi, we had better keep a good eye on it, just to make sure nothing happens," Yami's voice said.
Yugi nodded before realizing something and smiling. "No pun intended?" Yami then realized what he said and smiled as well. Once he continued the video, Yami Bakura breathed a sigh of relief.
Marik however, was growing suspicious. "If that is true, the pharaoh and his friends might not be the only people we will see coming to Egypt," he thought.
-Yami Bakura: It's all in the execution.-
-Marik: Well if it were me, then I would use mind control, like some sort of malevolent puppet master, or a jedi.-
-Yami Bakura: Or maybe we could slice Yugi open with a machete, see if that works. – Yugi paled at this statement. Yami Bakura side glanced at him and inwardly laughed at his expression.
"No one is laying a finger on my buddy. Not without going through me first!" Joey said.
-Marik: I have a better idea. We should totally hang out. With my evilness and your Britishness, we would be unstoppable! Why are you British anyway?-
-Yami Bakura: I'm not British, I'm just gay. – "Wait a minute, in a previous video, Bakura said he wasn't gay, he was British," Tristan said.
"And now that he's the evil spirit of the ring, he isn't British, he's gay," Tea finished. "That's pretty neat, reversing them depending on the form Bakura is in."
Yugi turned to Bakura. "We're only joking, don't worry," he said.
"Yes… I know," Yami Bakura said trying to sound like regular Bakura. Yugi was about to question it, but Joey continued the video.
Yami Bakura glared at the screen. "Even if I was gay, there would be no way I'd get together with Marik of all people. If this video implies that again, I swear!"
Marik was also thinking back to that moment. "We we're discussing our plan, but did he really want to get together with me?" He thought it was funny that an evil spirit trapped in a ring for thousands of years would want to date him. Maybe if it wasn't for the evil spirit part, he would be open to the idea. Bakura was pretty cute and his hair was the kind that you would want to cuddle with, and he seemed like the kind of person who would…
"Wait, what am I thinking?" Marik quickly snapped out of it and continued with the video.
-Mako: I remember the first time I met the ocean. It was love at first sight. My father and I were fishing together when a huge tidal wave came and nearly destroyed our boat! It took my father, and I never saw him again. That is why I dedicating my life to loving the sea and all of its inhabitants. – Everyone was silent after that explanation, waiting for someone to break said silence.
Mako finally spoke up. "You know what? I've had it! Calling me a freaky fish guy, and now downplaying and making a joke of my father's death!? I'm so done!" he yelled. He got up and grabbed his water glass. "I'm going to get a refill."
"Mako, wait!" Joey called out, but Tea placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Let it go Joey." Joey turned towards Mako entering the building, and then back at the video.
-Joey: So let me get this straight. The ocean killed your dad, and then you married it?-
-Mako: That is correct. – "Still can't see the logic in that," Tristan said. "Next to none."
-Tea: And he wonders why we call him a freaky fish guy?-
-Mako: Grrr, for the last time, I am not a freaky fish guy! And I shall harpoon everybody in this aquarium to prove my point! – "Not helping yourself," Tristan noted.
Mako then rejoined the group, with his water glass filled up. He was still visibly angry, but not as rage inducing as before.
-Joey: Mako, stop.-
-Mako: What?-
-Joey: I never understood it before Mako, but now I get it. I always thought that you were just some sort of clichéd minor character who took his ocean obsession too far. But you're more than that.-
-Mako: You're just trying to confuse me.-
-Joey: No Mako, this is straight from the heart. You are not a freaky fish guy Mako. You are the freaky fish guy. And that's why people love you, because you gave us something special. Something most Yu-Gi-Oh characters don't even have. You gave us a catchphrase. – "See Mako, you're super important. The way you duel, no one could ever forget about you. You should be proud of your catchphrase," Joey said.
"…Thanks," Mako deadpanned.
-Mako: *sniff* Suddenly, I miss the ocean.-
-Joey: And she misses you Mako. It's not too late you know. You can still be with her…-
-Solomon: Hey! Hurry up and finish the card game! Some of us are bleeding to death! – "What card game? There hasn't been one in this entire video," Tea said. Everyone sans Mako and Yami Bakura laughed at her comment.
-Mako: I concede this victory to you Joey Wheeler. You've made me realize that being a minor character isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes those are the most cherished characters of all, like Boba Fett from Star Wars.-
-Joey: Dude, don't even compare yourself to Boba Fett. You got a long way to go before you reach his level.-
-Mako: Reach his level? He was killed by a blind man.-
-Joey: Ooooohhhh, sounds like somebody is unfamiliar with the expanded universe. – "Someone mind explaining the expanded universe to me?" Tea asked.
"Maybe another time," Tristan said.
-Mako: Indeed. Here, take my Legendary Fisherman and my two locator cards. Where I'm going, I won't need them.-
-Tristan: Wait, did they even play a card game? – "No they didn't," Yugi said. "Just talking and harpoon throwing, that's it."
Mako sighed. "Well, I have to get going. I doubt I'll watch these videos again."
"You sure Mako?" Tea asked. "I know you didn't like this one, but there are still all of these," she said scrolling through the playlist.
"I'm sure. I know you guys like those videos, and more power to you. But they aren't for me." He got up and finished his water. "I'm going to the docks, see you guys," he said walking off.
Yugi shrugged. "I guess these videos aren't for everybody," he said as the video continued.
-Marik: So we are agreed. The pharaoh is our common enemy, and the enemy of my friend is also my enemy.-
-Yami Bakura: That's not how it goes. – "You know, I really like the banter between them," Tristan said. "Like I said before, more than the real ones."
"When we see Marik next, we should show him and the others these videos," Tea suggested. Little did she know that Marik was already watching the video, and was wondering what else could happen between him and Yami Bakura.
-Marik: Oh whatever. The point is, we are going to join forces. We shall unite in our evil quest to vanquish Yugi Moto and destroy everything he holds dear! And also we should share beauty tips. I love what you do with your hair.-
-Yami Bakura: L'Oreal, because I'm worth it… I think we did that joke already. – "Oh wow, that was near the very beginning," Joey said.
"Yeah, it was me who used that shampoo, and now Bakura has too," Yugi said. Yami Bakura looked at his hair for a moment before rolling his eyes and continued watching.
Marik thought about how fluffy Bakura's hair was, and how it kept that way throughout the whole ordeal. "Snap out of it!" he told himself as the video continued.
-Marik(?): Soon the mind raping shall commence.-
-Yami Bakura: What the devil was that?-
-Marik: Foreshadowing, it happens. – "Oh man, I wonder what Marik's dark half will be like," Yugi said. Marik was thinking the same thing.
-Yami Bakura: I believe this is called thiefshipping.-
-Marik: You believe what is called what? – "What's thiefshipping?" Tristan asked.
"Not sure. Does it have something to do with Marik and Bakura?" Yugi asked.
"I think I've heard of shipping before. It's saying that Marik and Bakura are a couple," Tea explained.
"Oh, so it's just like that one time with Joey and Kaiba-"
"Don't start with that!" Joey exclaimed.
As all of this was happening, Yami Bakura was in shock. These videos were implying that he was now in a relationship with Marik of all people! "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?" he yelled.
This got the attention of the others, who quickly turned back to their friend. "Bakura!? Are you okay?" Yugi asked.
"Huh?" Bakura held his head and groaned. "Wha.. I'm, I'm fine." Bakura finally recovered fully. "Did something happen?"
"Well, you kinda yelled just a second ago," Joey said.
"Really? I don't remember doing that," Bakura said. Yugi (and Yami) were now suspicious. "Something wrong Yugi?"
"No, it's fine. Let's finish the video."
-[don't believe ondore's lies]-
-Head On, apply directly to the forehead! Head On, apply directly to the forehead! – "I'd rather not have the applied to my forehead," Yugi said remembering his encounter with Shadi.
-Mako: I've been such a fool. You we're always there for me, even when you were being so distant. I've looked at other large bodies of water, but none of them even compare to your beauty. Ocean, I love you. And I want to start all over again. If you're willing to have me that is. Just say the word, and I'm yours, forever.-
-Ocean: I forgive you. – "Awww, that was so cute," Tea said. "Too bad Mako wasn't here to see that."
"Oh well, maybe we can show it to him another time," Joey said as they continued watching Mako with the ocean. "That was a pretty good way to end the video." Joey then looked at the corner of the screen. "Ah man, my batter is going to die! Guess I better head home."
Everyone threw away their trash and packed up. The group decided to walk back to Joey's place together. While walking back, the group was talking about their favorite parts of the video, when suddenly…
"Wait a second!" Yugi yelled. Everyone stopped and turned towards him.
"What's wrong Yug?"
Yugi turned towards the other. "I wasn't in that video!"
After a pause, everyone suddenly realized. "Oh wow, you're right!" Tea said.
"I thought I was the 'main character!' Doesn't that mean I have to be in every video?" Yugi asked.
"Man Yug, didn't know you took those videos that seriously," Joey joked. Everyone else started laughing, and Yugi joined in as well.
Meanwhile, Marik had gotten a text from Ishizu, asking where he was. Marik texted back, thanked the vendor for using the computer, and headed back home. Along the way, he thought about the video he watched. It was pretty good, and he had to admit that he thought the way the video portrayed him and Yami Bakura was different, but not that bad.
Though he once again thought about the lines that implied they were a couple. He wondered if any one else who watched that video would think about a relationship between the two. As he thought, what he didn't realize was a very slight blush appeared on his face. But it quickly went away as he made it back home.
At the docks, Mako was on a boat heading out into the sea. He felt at peace again, with the sound of the waves, the movement of the boat, the air around the water. Mako was smiling the entire time. "Nothing beats an afternoon out on the ocean, isn't that right?"
After a moment of silence, Mako knew that despite his opinions, he had to say it. Sighing, he sat down on the boat and silent spoke.
"The ocean says yes."
Honestly, the abridged series is the reason I ship thiefshipping. I love their dynamic so much!
Anyways, starting next time, I will answer reviews (and if you are new, I answer then to show that I do read each one). Although, if you leave a review asking 'Can you have them react to this?' I will not answer it because the answer will always be the same. It will be in a separate story.
Also, I might post other stories from other fandoms, so keep an eye open if you want. (right now, I'm fe: three houses trash :P Any Blue Lions out there?)
As said before, I'll get another chapter out before the month ends, so until then, see ya.
Next time: Episode 34 - Dork Side of the Moon. Duel Standby!
