I don't own the Yugioh! or Harry Potter characters. I also don't own Skyla Doragono's additions to both casts. The song 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' isn't mine either. The plot concepts, however, are mine.

JRose: I'ld also like to thank my two reviewers. I'm glad you enjoyed my work enough to comnent on it. On with the ficlet!

*********************************************

Aishisu: Yugioh Christmas: skit 4: Christmas Eve madness!

Hermione: JRose wants us to tell you that this skit will probably be choppier than the ones before, as it is a collection of 'snap-shots' during Christmas Eve. Aishisu and I will be your narrators.

*Both turn and head for the Ishitar home. Hermione knocks on the door.*

Isis: *answers the door, looking harried until she recognizes the two at the door* *relaxing* Hello Hermione, Aishisu. I'm glad you came. *moves aside so Hermione and Aishisu can enter* Actucally, I was getting ready to call you. Marik and I have a bit of a situtaion on our hands. Go into the living room, and you'll understand everything.

*Hermione and Aishisu enter the house. They head for the living room as Isis shuts the front door and follows.*

*Marik, Mahaado, and Mana are in the living room. Mana is by a window, muttering in Ancient Eygptian as she stares out it. Marik is trying, rather unsucessfully, to convice Mahaado not to threaten the radio.*

Hermione: Aishisu, I'll take Mana, if you'll help Marik with Mahaado.

Aishisu: *nods and heads for Marik*

Hermione: What are you doing, Mana?

Mana: Trying to prevent another Ice Age.

Hermione: Why do you think there's going to be another Ice Age? Come to think of it, how do you know about the first one?

Mana: 'Cause this 'snow' stuff won't stop falling. If this keeps up, we'll all be buried! And I heard about the first Ice Age from a book Isis got me so I'ld fit in better.

Hermione: Mana, there isn't even four inches of snow on the ground. That's nothing. Some places get six or more inches of snowfall at a time. Besides, we can't get snowed in until there's at least a foor of snow on the ground.

Mana: You sure, cause that stuff seems tricky to me!

Hermione: *nods*

Mana: Ok, then. *nods towards Marik, Aishisu, and Mahaado* You might want to help your boyfriend and yami with Mahaado-sensei.

Hermione: *heads towards the group of three* What's going on?

Mahaado: I must destroy the evil-soul-stealing device that forces people to sing before it captures anyone else.

Hermione: *follows Mahaado's gaze...* It's the radio... *sweatdrops* Uh...why do you think it steals people's souls?

Mahaado: Do you not hear the voices coming from it? Yet, there are no spirits visible to my senses. What else could do that?

Marik: Umm...a long distance communication spell? That box is just a...uh...talismen for hearing what the spell is sending.

Mahaado: *blinks* That makes sense... Though I still do not trust this 'radio,' I will let it be...for now. *glares evilly at the radio*

Everyone except Mahaado and Mana: *sweatdrops and thinks 'this is going to take a while.'*

Hermione: Hey, Aishisu! Since we're passing the Kame Game Shop, why don't we go in and say 'hi' to Yugi and Yami Yugi? *grabs Aishisu's arm and drags her into the shop before Aishisu can say a word.*

*The inside of the Game Shop is packed. Everyone who resides there is helping out, even Y.Yugi.*

Yugi: *spots Hermione and Aishisu and hurries over to them* Hey, guys. *lowers his voice* You either want to buy something or leave before my mom drafts you into the workforce. I think she even has some of the customers helping us out with this rush.

Aishisu: You're joking.

Yugi: Nope. I doubt she's realized that Y.Yugi-kun's running the register. She just sees him as 'Christmas help' at the moment. I suggest you avoid this place untill the end of the holiday shopping season...or January fifteenth, which ever comes first. I must be heading back to work. Ja.

Aishisu: *grabs Hermione's arm and drags her out of the shop.* I don't know about you, but I don't want to spend the rest of the day working at the Game Shop.

*Hermione and Aishisu run into Mokuba, who invites them to stop in to the Kaiba Mansion for some cookies and coco.*

Seto: *as the girls and Mokuba enter* *yells* "It's too early, you baka priest!

Hermione: What's got him so upset?

Mokuba: Yami Seto-nii-sama. He keeps trying to get nii-sama to go to bed so Christmas will get here sooner.

The girls: *sweatdrop*

*As they are heading back to their hotel, Hermione and Aishisu past the Bakura house. Ryou Bakura is standing outside looking up at the roof, where sinister laughter can be heard.*

Bakura: *spotting the girls* Hello! Aishisu, do you know if it's possible for a hikari to disown their yami?

Aishisu: *confused* No, why?

Bakura: Yami Bakura-kun is trying to find the best hiding spot on the roof so he can rob Santa's sleigh while Santa is delivering my presents.

Aishisu: *buries her head in her hands*

*Curtain of snowflakes closes*
