Alright, time for another chapter! This is a fun episode, and this one was a lot of fun to write. I spent a lot of time on this chapter, writing to make sure it would be a good one.

Marik: Oh come on! We all know you were on your island all this time, fishing and catching bugs, buying clothes you're never going to wear.

Hey, I can multitask! Anyways small note. Obviously everyone is going to play the drinking game, but I didn't want to always write down that everyone took a drink at the right times, so if one character is drinking, assume all of them are. With that said, let's begin!

Once again, I don't own anything except this fanfic. Enjoy!


-Abridged series.-

"Mind speaking"

Normal Dialogue


After reassuring Joey that they would all be watching the video together, Yugi clicked on the next one. "Are we ready?" he asked one more time. Everyone nodded and Yugi started the video.

-Yami: It's the Yu-Gi-Oh drinking game! Take a drink every time we mention friendship. – "What?" Yugi asked. "I mean, I know I said that this video would mention friendship a lot, but enough times for a drinking game?"

"That sounds pretty ridiculous… unless…" Joey's thoughts trailed off as he suddenly stood up. "I just had the best idea ever, be right back!" he said as he ran out of the room.

Everyone stared at the open doorway with confused looks. After a few minutes, Joey came running back inside, holding four 20 oz bottles. He handed one bottle to everyone before sitting back down. Tea looked at her bottle of soda, then at everyone else's soda bottles. Suddenly, realization came to her.

"Wait… are we really doing this!?" she asked out loud.

"Hey, if we're gonna be watching this duel, might as well make it fun, or less depressing," he said as he twisted the lid off his bottle. "Alright, bring it on!" Everyone looked at him and shrugged before twisting their own lids off the bottles.

"Well, here goes nothing," Tea mumbled as the video continued.

-Mokuba: Check it out bro, Joey's down there!-

-Kaiba: Quick Mokuba, land on top of him! – Joey paled slightly. "Okay, I know moneybags hates me, but isn't killing me going a bit too far?" he asked.

-Yami: No wait, something is wrong. He looks slightly more braindead than usual. (A quick sigh from Joey) I wonder how this will affect, our friendship! – "Oh, here we go," Joey said as he took off the lid and took a drink from his soda. Tristan followed closely behind, and then Yugi took his drink. Tea was the last to drink, still skeptical about this game. But in the end, it wasn't alcohol, and it was a just a fun thing to do while watching the video, so she let any doubts go.

-Kaiba: I still say we should land on him. Come on, it'll be funny. – "Try anything like that and I'll pour this entire bottle all over ya!" Joey said.

"Now see, if you did that, he would really kill you," Tristan said.

*Intro sequence*

-Marik: Once more those fools have fallen into my evil clutches! Now I shall force Yugi to duel the one he loves most, and according to all the fanfiction I've read, that would be Joey. – "Wait, first it was me and Kaiba, and now it's me and Yug?" Joey asked. "Although I'd rather spend my time with Yugi over Kaiba any day."

"Well, I don't know about romantically, but I do love our friendship, if that says anything," Yugi said.

"Hey, you mentioned friendship, does that count?" Tristan asked holding his soda bottle.

Yugi laughed. "If you want it to," he said as Tristan took another sip of his soda, thumbs up.

-Odion: But Master Marik, it is obvious that Yugi is in love with Tea.-

-Marik: What? No way! That's insane! What kind of messed up fanfics have you been reading? – "Hey Tea, are you writing any stories about you and Yugi?" Tristan whispered to her.

"Do you really want to know the answer to that?" she whispered back with a small hint of annoyance.

"Alright, I'll take your word for it," Tristan replied.

-Yami: Joey, snap out of it!-

-Joey: There is no Joey, there is only Steve.-

-Tea: That's right pharaoh, our names have both been legally changed. We take orders from Marik now. Tehehehehe. – "Hey, they never showed me changing my name to Steve like they did with Joey," Tea said.

"Well, it had to have happened. Maybe it was when we were distracted by those flashbacks in the last video," Yugi said.

-Yami: Tea has been Steved! This is horrible, and yet strangely erotic. – "What's that supposed to mean!?" Tea asked. Yugi turned away slightly, not wanting to continue that thought. He sensed Yami also not wanting to answer.

-Mokuba: They've been brainwashed Seto!-

-Kaiba: Personally, I blame the rap music. – The group looked on in silence. "I'll admit, I did think that's what he would say," Tristan said.

"None of us listen to rap, so we wouldn't know," Yugi said.

-Joey: In this duel, once a player's life points reach zero, they will have thirty seconds before the anchor drags them to the bottom of the sea. The winner will be given the chance to free himself. However, if neither duelist wins by the time the counter reaches zero, then they will both drown.-

-Kaiba: Stop this duel immediately! It violates Battle City Tournament regulations, just like 90 percent of the other duels that I refuse to stop. – "Not doing a good job, eh Kaiba?" Tristan said.

"Wasn't Mokuba the one in charge of people who broke the rules?" Yugi asked.

"Guess screwing the rules runs in the family," Joey said. Everyone started laughing at the callback to the first episode.

-Joey: I wouldn't do that Kaiba. If you interfere in this duel, then your precious Tea will be crushed to death!-

-Kaiba: No not Tea! Mokuba, which one is Tea? Is that the one with the pointy hair and the Bullwinkle voice? – Joey was trying his best not to laugh out loud. His snickering filled the room, and within a few minutes, he couldn't hold back. This laugh was contagious, as Tristan found himself laughing next. Yugi joined soon after, and even Tea couldn't help but smile and laugh as well.

-Serenity: When I take off my bandages, I want the first thing I see to be my big brother playing a card game.-

-Tristan: Don't hold your breath. I hear card games are very rare on this show. – "…But all the videos before this one had Duel Monsters in them," Yugi said.

"Except the Mako video, and the virtual world video," Tea pointed out. "And the video when Kaiba first got Obelisk."

-Steve: We want the girl.-

-Tristan: Hey, back off! I already called dibs! – "Yeah! You tell 'em!" Tristan said confidently.

"No one is calling dibs on anyone, especially on Serenity!" Joey exclaimed.

-Joey: It's useless Pharaoh. No matter what you do, one of your friends is gonna die. – "Oh hey, that counts!" Tristan said as he took another drink of soda, followed by everyone else.

-Yami: Forget my friends, what the hell happened to my jacket!? It's bloody freezing out here! – "Whoa, it just disappeared!" Joey remarked as he took another drink. "What happened there Yug?"

"I… I honestly don't know, but that it pretty weird," Yugi replied trying to remember if anything happened during that duel that would make him lose his jacket. "If I had to guess, maybe one of your attacks caused my jacket to fly off, but that's the only thing I can think of."

"Well, we know one thing for certain," Tristan said. Everyone looked at him. "It turned you into Bakura for a moment." Everyone started laughing at his comment.

-Tea: Don't worry Pharaoh. I shall sing the most beautiful song in the world and the power of friendship will do the rest. Once upon a time I was falling in love… - "I'll give myself credit, that is a pretty song," Tea said as she drank more of her soda. "But not sure how singing is going to help in this moment."

-Yami: Suddenly, drowning sounds a lot more appealing. – "Well what do you know Tea, your singing is to die for!" Tristan said, and quickly pulled back as Tea splashed soda all over him… or she would have if the bottle cap wasn't on.

"You got lucky this time. Pull a stunt like that again and you won't be," she said.

-Steve: Looks like there's nowhere left to run kid.-

-Tristan: Bring it on you lousy Steves! – The group gasped as the familiar tune was played and a dice appeared. "Oh boy! Here we go!" Yugi said. "Nice to see him again."

-Steve: Ahh that barely hurt! – There was a quick laugh from everyone.

-Duke: You guys are making me sexy. You wouldn't like me when I'm sexy.-

-Tristan: It's the witch! – "You're still going with that?" Joey asked.

"As long as he weighs the same as a duck, I'm sticking to it," Tristan joked. As the others were laughing, there was a knock at the door.

Yugi paused the video. "Who is it?" he asked. The door opened and Solomon poked his head in. "Grandpa?"

"What are you kids doing?" he asked with a smile.

"We're watching those videos again. Did you need something?"

"Actually, there's two people here to see you," Solomon said.

Yugi was confused for a moment as Solomon backed away and another person entered the room. Yugi and Tea smiled, while Joey and Tristan's eyes widened.

"Hi guys!" the cheerful voice exclaimed.

"Serenity?" Joey asked. "What are you doing here? I thought you were out shopping today."

"I was, but it's been a while since we've seen you guys, and we figured we'd find you. We looked all over town and figured you guys were back here," Serenity explained.

"Well that's great, of course you can…" Joey then paused; something didn't seem right. "Wait, what do you mean by 'we'?" As if on cue, the other person appeared behind Serenity.

"Long time no see!"

"Duke!" Yugi exclaimed. At seeing the other man, Joey and Tristan both stood up.

"What are you doing with Serenity?" Tristan asked.

"For once I agree with ya," Joey added.

"We weren't on a date or anything like that," Duke said raising his hands up in defense. "I just happened to see her at the mall and we started hanging out with each other, and after a while, we decided to find you guys, that's all there is to it."

"Duke helped me pick out new shirts and shoes. He was a big help," Serenity said with a smile, making steam come out of Tristan's ears.

Tea sensed the tension between everyone (minus Yugi and Serenity) and spoke up. "Hey, since you two are here, want to join us? We're watching more of those videos."

Duke and Serenity looked at each other and smiled. "Sure, we've got nothing else to do," Duke said.

Joey sighed. "At least I can keep an eye on you," he said to himself. Tristan glared at him slightly, but at least he could be with Serenity. "But first," Joey said out loud. "You two need to go grab a bottle of soda from downstairs."

"Why?" Duke asked confused. Joey just snickered in response. Shrugging, Duke and Serenity got up and walked out the door. Within a minute, the two came back up with soda bottles. "Alright, mind telling us what this is about?"

"Every time 'friendship' is mentioned, you have to take a drink," Tristan explained. Duke and Serenity stared at them for a moment. Duke then started laughing.

"I never would've thought my first drinking game would be this, but I'll take it," he said. He undid the cap and took a big drink. "I'm ready, let's do this!"

Serenity looked at her bottle. "I always thought college would be the first place I play a game like this… well, at least it isn't alcohol." The two newcomers walked over to the group and sat down.

"Alright, let's continue," Yugi said as he resumed the video.

-Yugi: Pharaoh, you have to let me take over. I'm the only one who can break through to Joey. – "It's still kind of weird to see the two of you together side-by-side," Tristan said.

-Yami: Oh yeah? How do you figure?-

-Yugi: Have you seen my face? Seriously, I'm so cute people have mistaken me for a baby panda. Just one whimper out of me and he'll be the Joey we know and love again. – "Hey, I like that strategy," Duke said. Everyone turned to look at him. "I'm kidding."

-Yami: You mean you're not a baby panda?-

-Yugi: Nope.-

-Yami: Wow you're good! – "I think we found your next costume for Halloween," Joey said. Yugi blushed a little in embarrassment.

-Yugi: Joey, you have to remember our friendship! Remember that we are friends and friends don't give up on each other because of their friendly friendship. BFF man! – "Whoa whoa! Slow down! Slow down!" Joey repeated in between drinks. "That was like, six times!"

Duke and Serenity looked at each other and then back at the others. "How about we take three big sips, that should make things even," Duke suggested as he started drinking his soda.

"That's not a bad idea," Tristan said as he started drinking. Yugi, Tea, and Serenity followed close behind.

-Marik: Oh what the EFF is this bullcrap? I wanted to duel the pharaoh, not this little dickweed! This gives me effeminate furry! – All of them laughed at Marik's little rant, although Yugi was taken back a little at him being called a dickweed.

-Yugi: Take my puzzle Joey. It used to represent my main character status, but now it's become a symbol of our everlasting friendship. And I want you to have it. – "That was really sweet of you," Tea said as she took another drink, followed by everyone else.

"Because it's true, the puzzle will always be a reminder of the bonds we have," Yugi said with a smile. Yami was still in the puzzle, but thought the same thing.

-Yugi: But I swear if you get so much as a scratch on it, I'm gonna kick your blond butt into next week. – "Aaaaand there goes that," Tristan said.

-Joey: Yugi's… puzzle…-

-Marik: Do as I command Steve! Take his puzzle and throw it into the ocean! The power of my midriff compels you! – "Oh, so that's where all his power comes from," Tea said.

"I wouldn't mind having power like that," Duke said. I'd use it to help people who are precious to me," he added glancing at Serenity.

"I would too if I had that power!" Tristan said.

-Joey: I will obey, Master Marik.-

-Kaiba: Wake me when somebody summons a God card. – "Uh, I think you're gonna be sleeping for a long time Kaiba," Tristan said.

"Yugi didn't use his God card in this duel?" Duke asked.

"Nope, and Marik didn't have Joey use a God card either," Yugi explained.

"That seems pretty fair," Serenity added.

"I wasn't even going to use Slifer anyways," Yugi added.

-Duke: Those Rare Hunters are right behind us. – "Hey, still using that awesome theme for me," Duke said with a smile, ignoring Tristan's glance.

-Tristan: We gotta get out of here. Did you bring your broomstick?-

-Duke: For the last time, I'm not a witch!-

-Tristan: In that case, it looks like I'll have to do this the hard way. Take care of my love interest while I'm gone! – Serenity giggled a little at this statement. "That's sweet of you to take on those Rare Hunters for me," she said.

Tristan blushed. "You really think so? In that case, you'll never have to worry again! I'll take on anyone that would dare hurt you!" he said confidently.

-Duke: Don't worry Serenity, you're in good hands with Duke Devlin, very good hands. – "You know what's good about leaving you to take on the Rare Hunters? I get quality alone time with Serenity," Duke whispered with a smile.

It took a second for Tristan to realize what that meant. "You know on second thought, Duke is capable enough to take on those Hunters, I'll stay with Serenity," he said.

-Steve: Hey! Get out of our way! We have official Steve business to take care of.-

-Tristan: I don't think so!-

-Steve: Just who in the hell do you think you are?-

-Tristan: The name's Tristan Taylor, and for the next five minutes, you guys are officially my bitches! – "Oh yeah! You want a piece of me?" Tristan said making a fist in confidence.

"I'll pass, I prefer to spend time with the lady," Duke said. Serenity smiled as Tristan glared at him again.

-Mai: Hey buddy, watch where you're walking! Didn't you see the red light? – "Oh boy, Mai is back," Yugi said.

"We should find out where she is. I bet she'll want to watch more of these," Tea noted.

-Duke: Yeah, but I figured it was just because I'm surrounded by hos. Oh no I didn't! – Everyone looked at Duke. "Wow Duke," Tea said.

"Okay, wait a minute! I would never call any girl I was with names like that! Even if I'm surrounded by girls…"

"Oh we know that," Tea said. "No need to get all defensive."

-Tristan: What country you from?-

-Steve: What?-

-Tristan: What ain't no country I ever heard of. They speak English in What? – "What?" Yugi asked, to which everyone laughed a little.

-Steve: What?-

-Tristan: English motherf*cker, do you speak it? – "Man Tristan, you're not holding back on these guys," Tea said.

"Well of course not. They threatened Serenity and me! I'm not going to go easy on them," Tristan proclaimed.

-Steve: Yes I speak English.-

Tristan: Describe what Marik Ishtar looks like.-

-Steve: What?-

-Tristan: Say 'what' again, say 'what' again. I dare you, I double dare you motherf*cker, say 'what' one more goddamn time! – "Alright, I'll admit it. This video found a way to make you intimidating, even with that stupid voice," Duke said.

"I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or not," Tristan replied while the others laughed.

-Duke: Hey Tristan, check it out. Can you say 'Duke sandwich?' – "Now that doesn't sound too bad," Duke said quietly.

-Marik: I command you to throw that piece of puzzle into the ocean! Friggin', friggin' do it!-

-Joey: This is just like before, when I first met Yugi.-

-Yugi: I won't let you hurt them! They're my best friends, even if they always steal my lunch money and give me wedgies, flush my homework down the toilet, beat me up, set fire to my comic books, and throw my ancient Egyptian artifacts into the pool. – Whoa, wait a minute! We never did any of those things to ya!" Joey said as he took another drink of soda. "All I did was throw a piece of the puzzle into the river."

"Well, back then you did steal the puzzle from me a couple of times," Yugi said as he took a sip. "You were trying to make me into a man." After a moment of silence, Yugi spoke up again. "But that was then, and this is now. I couldn't have asked for better friends." Everyone in the room smiled at him, as well as Yam in the puzzle.

-Ushio: I'm going to become a motorcycle riding security guard, in the future. – "That's… oddly specific," Tea said.

"Wonder if that has to do with playing Duel Monsters on motorcycles," Tristan asked.

"Wait, what?" Duke asked, to which Tristan said he would explain later.

-Yugi: What does that have to do with anything?-

-Ushio: Nothing whatsoever.-

-Yugi: It's heavily implied that you're kicking the ever-loving crap out of me! – "Man, even though it's just implied, it's still hard to watch," Joey said turning away slightly.

-Joey: And as Yugi filled his pants with urine, I finally understood the true meaning of friendship. – "Ew!" everyone said. The group realized they had to take another drink of soda, but were a little hesitant since they had an image of wet pants.

"Can we skip this one?" Yugi asked.

"No, just think of something else as you drink!" Tristan said as he quickly drank another sip. Everyone looked at each other and quickly took their drinks. "See, that wasn't so bad. And now we don't have to think about-"

"Don't say it," Tea said.

-Marik: Hey, what's the EFFing holdup? Stop having a flashback and throw that EFFing puzzle! – "Calm down Marik," Joey joked.

-Joey: No… I can't… do it…-

-Tristan: What's going on here? Why is Tea singing? And why is Joey dueling a baby panda? – "Wait, she's still singing?" Tristan pointed out.

"Was she singing before we came?" Serenity asked.

"Yeah. I know that song is a longer song, but I didn't think it was that long," Tristan responded.

"Even I couldn't sing for that long," Tea said.

-Mokuba: It's a long story.-

-Tristan: I've got time. – "No, you don't," Tristan said.

-Joey: It's over Yugi! I activate Meteor of Destruction!-

-Yugi: Joey!-

-Joey: Yugi! Oh God! What have I done!?-

-Yugi: You did it!-

-Marik: No! What kind of cheesy Care Bears bullsh*t ending is this!? – "That Care Bears BS, or however you want to call it, is the power of our friendship!" Joey said ruffling Yugi's hair. He then raised his soda bottle. "A toast to our friendship!" Joey said.

The others laughed and toasted each other, taking drinks and having fun.

-Yugi: I activate Mystical Rift Panel! Now I can aim your attack wherever I choose to, Joey. And I choose myself.-

-Joey: Yugi… no.-

-Yugi: I just wanted you to know how important your friendship is to me Joey. It means even more to me than card games. – "This is pretty touching Yug," Joey said as he drank from his bottle.

"Well it's true, same for all of you guys," Yugi said finishing his drink.

Joey: You can't mean that?-

-Yugi: Yes, I do. And so, I'm willing to sacrifice myself, and go to the Shadow Realm in your place. – There was an awkward silence in the room after that line. Everyone was looking around at each other. No one knew what to say until Tristan spoke up.

"So uh… who's going to be the one to tell him?"

"Not me," Tea said followed by a 'nope' from Duke.

"I won't," Serenity said.

"Me neither," Tristan added, which left either Yugi or Joey.

"I'm pretty sure I know what's going on," Yugi said, "And so do you Joey."

"True, but the way this video is going, I feel like it's gonna be me."

-Joey: Um, yeah about that. This… isn't actually a shadow game Yugi. You're really going to die.-

-Yugi: Hey f*ck off, don't yank my chain! – "Hey, what about our friendship Yug?" Joey asked teasingly. "I'm just trying to help you."

"Guess our video counterparts disagree," Yugi responded.

-Joey: No, seriously. You're going to drown.-

-Yugi: What? Hey, I take it back! Your friendship isn't worth that much!-

-Joey: Eh?-

-Yugi: Hell, Tristan's a better friend to me than you are!-

-Tristan: In your face Joey! – "Oh no," Tea said as she took two sips of her soda. "I know where this is going."

"Don't worry Tea, we know that things said in these videos aren't true," Joey said.

"That being said… I wouldn't mind being Yugi's number one friend," Tristan said as he finished his sips.

"Hey! That position's been taken!" Joey said growling at Tristan.

"Guys guys, I like all my friends equally, including you guys," he said turning towards Tea, Duke, and Serenity.

-Steve: This isn't looking good. I better kill the girl.-

-Kaiba: Time to do what I do best. – "Oh, looks like we're in video game mode," Duke said. Everyone looked at the screen and came to the conclusion that attacking the Rare Hunter's hand was the best option.

-Steve: Huh? Agh! Dude, uncool! Who does that?-

-Kaiba: This is for making me waste a perfectly good trading card! – The group started laughing. "He realizes he can get that card back, right?" Duke asked.

"In fact, why use the card in the first place. Couldn't you've used something else?" Tea asked.

"Guess that's the best thing he could use from a distance," Serenity chimed in.

As the video continued, everyone watched as the real song played while the meteor attacked Yugi. "Man, that really stings," Joey said turning away slightly.

"At the least, they used the real song," Duke said, "Imagine if this was set to Tea's version… no offence."

"None taken. Even I wouldn't want that version," Tea responded.

-Yugi: God, no friendship is worth this much pain. – "This is kind of hard to watch," Serenity said while drinking her soda again.

"Wait a minute, If I know what's coming up, you'll want to keep watching," Duke said. Serenity looked at him confused, but decided to take his word and keep watching.

-Joey: Yugi! Oh God I gotta save him!-

Serenity gasped as the video showed her removing her bandages and opening her eyes. "Wow, how is this video showing my vision?" she questioned.

-Serenity: I can see!-

-Joey: Here I come Yug! Nyeeeeeeeeh! – "You know, if I can't be the king of games, I'll be king of the jungle instead!" Joey said.

-Serenity: It's my brother!-

-Joey: Ah whiplash!-

-Tristan: Come back baby panda! – Everyone wasn't paying too much attention to the jokes that were being said. Instead, they were watching how epic everything seemed, most likely due to the song in the background. Even Joey was watching the video with intensity.

-Joey: Must… risk… life… for best friend. Goodbye Yugi. Don't remember me as Steve. Remember me as Joey Wheeler. – Joey started sniffling. "I might actually cry," he said as he took another drink from his almost empty bottle.

"If he does, I'll have to catch that on video," Tristan whispered to Duke, who chuckled in agreement.

-All: Yugi!-

-Mokuba: If Joey's dead, can I have his trading cards? – "No way! When I get old and die, I'm not letting Richboy or any of his family getting ahold of my cards!" Joey proclaimed.

-Tristan: Quick, somebody get this guy some bamboo!-

-Mokuba: Kay… whoa!-

Everyone watched as Serenity dove into the water to rescue Joey. Joey turned towards his sister and noticed her eyes were shining. "Hey sis, are you okay?" Joey asked.

Serenity turned towards him. "I'm just happy that I was able to save you," she said giving her brother a hug.

Joey smiled and hugged back. "I'm always happy to have you around sis," he said. Everyone looked at the siblings with smiles.

-Joey: Serenity? You saved me.-

-Serenity: When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was you. I just had to rescue you Joey, because no matter what happens between us, I will always love my big brother.-

-Joey: Yeah, I didn't get a word of that. By the way sis, you still owe me for those driving lessons. – Everyone turned towards the two, wondering if they heard what the video said. Joey and Serenity were still hugging and finally let each other go.

"I don't think they heard," Yugi whispered to Tea.

"Good, better they didn't," she whispered back.

-Yugi: Hey Joey, how did it come to this? I mean, after all we've been through. Two of a pair, now on opposite sides.-

-Joey: Yeah, from the very start with honor we've dueled and stuff. Watched each other's backs and you know, battled with pride.-

-Yugi: We're closer than brothers, and now we have to fight each other.-

-Joey and Yugi: And we trust our fate to the heart of the cards. – "Wait, we're singing now?" Joey asked.

"If I was singing that entire time, then you guys can as well," Tea said with a slight smirk on her face.

-Tristan: No matter what! – "You too Tristan," Tea added.

-Joey and Yugi: Let the games begin!-

-Tristan: No matter what!-

-Kaiba: I love this song. – "No way!" Joey exclaimed. Everyone turned towards him. "Did I just hear Seto Kaiba, the most anti-friendship guy out there, say that he likes a song about friendship?" There was a moment of silence before everyone burst out laughing.

"Now if only we could get the real Kaiba to say that," Tristan said. Everyone was calming down from the laughter and almost missed another mention of friendship, which meant another drink.

-[duke is the fourth Jonas brother] – "If it means being surrounded by beautiful girls, I'll join them. I already have my own theme," Duke said to himself.

-Bobasa: I can break his f*cking back. Break his back, make him humble, and then f*ck his ass. – Everyone looked at the screen with confused faces. "…Ok…?" Tea asked slowly.

-Solomon: Don't worry Bakura, soon you'll be right as rain and you'll be able to play with your friends again. – "Wait, are they gonna show how Bakura was able to get to the finals?" Yugi asked as he took a drink.

"More like that stupid evil spirit of the ring," Joey said.

-Yami Bakura: Oooh I can't wait. Hehehehe. – "Oh no, next video," Yugi said as the video ended. He then turned to Joey. "See Joey, that wasn't so bad. It was actually pretty good."

"Yeah, I liked it," he responded before looking down at his soda bottle. "Man, look how much soda we drank."

Yugi, Joey, Tea, and Tristan's bottles were almost empty, maybe two or three more drinks left. Duke and Serenity still had about half their bottles left. "Well, we came in later, so…" Duke said comparing the bottles.

"That was quite the experience. I think I'll wait until college before trying another drinking game," Tea noted. "For now, it's getting late, and we still have that exam we have to study for."

"Did ya have to remind us?" Joey said as he stood up. "Alright sis, want to walk home with me?"

"Sure!" Serenity said as she followed Joey out the door. Tristan and Duke both sighed, both of them wanting to escort Serenity home.

"You two can escort each other home," Tea said as she walked out the door. Duke and Tristan looked at each other and walked out as well.

"See you guys!" Yugi said as he also walked out of his room and headed downstairs to study.


And that's that! We've got a Bakura episode next, so it's time to bring our little kitty back.

Yami Bakura: All these years later, and I'm still not a kitty.

Oh I know Florence. You're not a kitty, you're Marik's kitty. … Well, I better answer these reviews before Florence kills me for that.

Catfan1: Jaden will be more prominent when watching the side videos, but I'll never say he won't cameo in one of his next appearances.

Guest #1: Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.

BlackPhoenix133: Hope you enjoyed this one!

Sunny Lighter: Glad it made you laugh.

The Richmaster: No they are not, and they won't in chapter 63 either.

thedarkpokemaster: Oh god, I cannot wait for penguin!Tea! That's one of my favorite moments!

chaosmuted: I'm sure Kaiba and Mokuba will have a few words to say about that when it's that time!

FANactic Writer: Joey's friends will always support him (especially Yugi, there's a reason wishshipping is my brotp)

LadyRaider92: That show is on every Sunday. The channels calls it their "Three Hour Tour" which while I like the show, three hours can be a little too much for me.

Xero the Reaper: Maybe Yami Bakura is super stealthy and can't be detected easily? … or that's an oversight on my part. Either way, not super important.

The Sith'ari: It's a good idea, though unfortunately I read this review a little too late (I'm about to update as I write this). However, this idea could be used in some of their duels in the Battle City finals, considering that Mai and Joey are presumed to be dead after those duels in the original, and the group could thinks back to the duels you mentioned (If I do use any of these ideas, I'll credit you). I still hope you liked this chapter.

Greer123: I've been taking walks and playing Pokémon Go, but it can get boring sometimes. I've started getting takeout again, and bring food home from my job.

Mari: I can't wait for more thiefshipping! Get ready Marik and Florence!

Guest #2: Having this chapter without a drinking would be a huge disservice!

raydark182: It seems to be a staple in anime, you have to have at least one recap episode in your series.

Anonimus anonima: Thank you! I'm glad you're excited about this story!

novelreader: I hope this chapter was able to do that. I'm not the best at writing serious stuff like that, and he seems to take it better than I thought he would in this chapter. Joey's pretty strong.

lawsonjordan196: My life got pretty busy, but now I'm back! I'm glad you've been here for a while!

Guest #3: Probably not going to join today, but I'll keep that in mind.

Apologies if I missed anyone. See you guys next chapter!

Next time: Episode 37 - Single White Sh*m*le (not a good title, don't go around saying this word, especially towards trans people) Duel Standby!
