Behind the Scenes: Yu-Gi-Oh!: Christmas Edition!
A/N - This...is strange...The cast has to get together and do the Christmas commercial for
the WB. Who will be Santa? What about the reindeer? Will Yugi be forced to portray the
elf?! Read and find out! And, of course, I OWN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
The Yu-Gi-Oh! break room was unusually silent, save for the dark grumbles of
some actors. The director, having been released from his therapy sessions to cure his
recurrent nightmares of Yugi wearing him as pants, walked in, beaming and rubbing his
hands together. "Okay! You may have heard that we're going to tape a special Christmas
commercial for the network."
He was answered by curses and a yelling Malik Ishtar. "You can't make me do
this! It goes against my faith! I'll sue! Johnny Cochran will be in here so fast -- "
"Malik," sighed Isis, "shut up. You know you don't have enough money to hire
ANY attorney. And besides, I hear Bakura has his eye on a solid gold armband. You'd
best save up..."
Grumbling, the instigator sat back down.
"Now, let's see who's cast as what..." muttered the director, looking over his
clipboard. "Seto, you're Santa."
The billionaire, looking up from his chronic Inu-Yasha watching, went
wide-eyed. "You're kidding me, right?"
"No," grinned the director. "You're the only one tall enough to fit in the
suit...Anyway, Isis? You will be portraying Mrs. Claus."
The Egyptian seer grumbled under her breath but didn't complain.
"Joey, Tristan, Bakura and Ryou will be the reindeer..."
"NO WAY! I already get enough flack from Kaiba about the whole chihuahua
thing," exclaimed Joey.
"Look, if you don't the holiday bonuses will be missing from your bank accounts.
Got it?" explained the producer.
The reindeer sighed and nodded, accepting their misfortune.
"Okay, that leaves Yami, Yugi, Malik and his yami --"
"HEY! Why don't Teya or Mai have to do this?" complained Yugi, his shoulders
slumping.
"Because, there aren't enough female roles," declared the director, dismissing a
giddy Teya and Mai from the building. The two cartwheeled and cheered on the way out.
"Now, Yugi and Yami? You will be playing the elves..."
The ancient Pharoh had to hold his hikari back so he wouldn't maul the stage
manager.
"...and the Maliks will be playing the tin soldiers," finished the director.
"Since when are there tin soldiers in a Christmas production?" inquired Tristan.
"They guard the North Pole," the director lied, wanting to get on with the show.
"Okay, everyone go see the costume department about your clothes."
The cast did so, and, within half an hour, they were all back. All of them, that is,
except Isis.
"Grrr...where is she," growled Yugi, adjusting his green and red elf uniform as his
yami fussed about with his hat.
"I'll go check..." sighed the director, starting to get up, but then Isis appeared,
wearing a long, heavy bathrobe and a Santa hat on her head. She shrugged it off,
revealing a loose, Santa-esque dress of red felt, trimmed in fake, white fur.
"Everyone have their lines? Props? Places? Okay, roll it," shouted the director.
Yami and Yugi were in what looked like a reindeer stable and the two elves were
brushing and feeding Joey, Bakura, Ryou and Tristan, the reindeer. "Didja hear what
they're saying about winter on the WB?" asked Yugi with sugary sweet excitement.
"Yeah! The WB is coming out with new holiday episodes of your favorite
shows," replied Yami, equally excited.
The scene shifted to the kitchen of the Clause household, where Isis was standing.
"Don't forget! This winter Kids WB is all new," she grinned, giving the victory sign,
winking, and holding a pan of cookies with her other, hot mitt-covered hand.
Next was in Santa's study with Seto sitting in a recliner, checking a long list.
"Hohoho," he said, his usual icy utterance straining to be warm and cheery. "Looks like
the WB has been very good, giving all its viewers new episodes of their favorite shows!"
The final shot was outside, the elves (Yami and Yugi) sitting on two reindeer
(Yami on Bakura and Yugi on Joey), and the other two 'deer were standing one on either
side. The tin soldiers (Malik and Yami Malik) were standing on either side of Santa's
sleigh holding their cheap plastics rifles and grinning stupidly. Santa Clause himself
(Kaiba) was in his sleigh, and Mrs. Clause (Isis) was standing to the side. "New episodes
of all you favorite shows this winter on the Kids WB," everyone chorused, grinning. They
gave the victory sign and Isis blew a kiss toward the camera.
"Terrific, everyone! Enjoy your holidays," shouted the director, waving as
everyone left.
"So, Seto, what are you going to with your bonus?" asked Malik, leaning against a
wall, hands behind his head, waiting for his sister to give him a ride.
"Well, ever since I took him to that Cloak and Dragon place, he's been bugging
me for all those little pewter figures in the glass case. And I mean ALL of them. The
scenery, too," sighed the billionaire, shrugging on his trademark trenchcoat.
"I see..."

Notes: - Yugi and Yami spent Christmas with Yugi's Grandpa. At the whining of Yugi,
they both donated their bonuses to the local Food Cupboard.
- Isis was alone for the holidays, mostly reading in her room and watching 'The Wedding
Planner' and 'Eyes Wide Shut' over and over again on the couch.
- Ryou cooked a dinner for himself, his father and his yami. Only he and his father
attended.
- Joey and Tristan bought tickets to New York to see the Radio City Music Hall
Christmas Show featuring the Rockettes.
- Malik and Bakura got wasted after work and basically locked themselves in Malik's
room for the majority of the season. Yami Malik slept at Wal-Mart with the other hobos.
- Teya was beaten by hobos (including Yami Malik) at a local soup kitchen in response
to one of her friendship rants and was in traction for several months.
- Mai woke up in Tijuana and couldn't remeber a damn thing.
