------------------------At this point in the story, Tea interrupted. ------- -------- Tea: *But.it's not interesting or horrific.* Serenity: *I'm getting to it.* ----------------------------So the story continued-------------------------- ---------- Serenity told Seto: Serenity: Hey Seto, you want to see some crazy millennium magic? Seto: (snorts) I don't believe in magic. Serenity: well you will now. Serenity rose up her arm and showed her millennium bracelet. The Karibo plushy came alive and started jumping up and down on Seto's head. "Karibo! Karibo!" (A/N: I looooooooove Karibo's. Maybe someday I shall marry one, but till that day comes, I shall just write about it.) Seto: . Serenity: teeheehee (starts laughing uncontrollably) -------------------------And so ends the story------------------------------ --------- Serenity: *And so ends the story.* Tea:* That was so not a cliffhanger. You made me listen to that for nothing.* Serenity: * Yeah, whatever. What did you want to happen? Kissy-kissy-lovey- dovey-oh-I'm-so-sorry-dear type thing? Remember, I'm in the story to, and my dignity is a precious thing for me.* Tea: *We-ell, you'd better return to the world beyond your thoughts.* Seto: (yawns) serenity, it's your turn. Serenity: Wait a moment. Hey, there are all my cards. (Reaches into her pocket and pulls them out.) Seto: woooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwww (etc.)!!!! You have all those cards?! Then Dark Marik appears. Dark Marik: Yes, she has all those cards. And I want them. Serenity, I challenge you to a duel. If I win, you give me all those cards. If you win, I give you the winged dragon of Ra. Serenity: so that's what the something something of Ra was called! Dark Marik: If you don't accept the duel, I get our cards and your soul. Serenity was frozen to the spot. "But.I.can't.duel!" Dark Marik: Well, too bad. Just to make sure you do, I'll take your friend's mind hostage. There goes Danielle's soul. And a flash of light appeared, and Danielle fell lifeless at the door. Tea gasped, and Marik turned around. Dark Marik: so you're here too. Well, the more the merrier. Join Danielle in the shadow realm. He raised his millennium rod, but Serenity tackled him and said, "I'll duel you! Just leave my friends alone!" Marik stopped and laughed evilly. "Just as I knew you would. Well, let's get on with it." ---------------------------------On the island------------------------------ ------------ Duke was alone on the island for days, ever since Tristen left. *Just my luck.* But then, Duke heard a sound. A boat was coming into the dock. Duke ran over, screaming, "Well, it's about time somebody came!" Then.a miracle happened. Serenity came out of the boat. *What's Serenity doing here?* Serenity: *I wish I could hear his thoughts. That darn Marik took my millennium bracelet.* Duke: what are you doing here? Serenity: (sadly) Marik wants to duel me for my cards. Duke: Then don't! Refuse! Protest! Boycott him! Serenity: I can't. If I do, he'll kill me. Duke: No.way. Serenity: Yes. He will. Marik walked toward Serenity and made the duel official. Marik: Time to duel, serenity. If you lose, you're sent to the shadow Realm, and I get the cards. Seto steps in. Duke: What? What's Seto doing here? Seto: What're you doing here, Dice Boy? Duke: What're you doing here, Dragon Boy? (Haku!!!) Seto: Hey, don't mess with my Blue eyes. Duke: Don't mess with my dice. Marik: Serenity! Get on with it! Serenity: *I can't duel.* Seto: I'll duel for you. I promise you won't lose. Marik: No. This is between me and Serenity only. Seto: No. I insist. I have the ability to knock you on the ground. Marik: (Looking up to see Seto's face) *He is right. Hmm* Ok. But if you lose, you're going to the Shadow Realm along with Serenity. Seto: Ok. I accept. Serenity: Oh, be careful, Seto! I already lost my brother and Danielle and almost Tea and I don't want to lose another friend! Seto: I won't lose, Serenity. I stake my life on it. Duke: *Grrrrr.since when did those two get friendly?* Marik: Stop chattering like little chipmunks. Let's duel! To make a really long story short, Seto won. Marik gave back Serenity the millennium bracelet and Serenity was so happy.

Serenity: Seto, you're my hero. You saved my life! Seto: .umm.it was nothing. Serenity: Yes, it was. You could've sent yourself to death! Seto: Never mind that. Let's get home. Serenity: C'mon, Duke. Let's get you cleaned up and comfy. How did you survive on that bare island, anyways? Duke: .*on coconuts*
