Kit: Eh heh heh heh, would everyone PLEASE review Got a Question? Kit has an Answer! Because that story needs more reviews in order to get going. You ask the cast a question and they answer it.

Bakura: ON INTERNATIONAL TELEVISION!!!

Yami Bakura: Oh zip it.

Kit: This is a good chapter, if I do say so myself. Have fun!

Tea: I get to do the disclaimer! .. this stinks. Anyway Kit doesn't own Yugioh (duh) but she does own the Ryou-plushie sent to her by Fyedra..

Kit: ::hugs plushie:: actually Fyedra sent it to Angel as a gift for writing a great story like Hikari no Yuugi.. I'm just borrowing it. ::squeezes Ryou-plushie, which turns blue::

Bakura: I'm getting out of here.

Even Later, 7:03 P.M. - The bathroom at the apartment

That's it.

It's over.

My life is over!

Why??? Why did I allow myself to be so gullible? IT'S SO NOT FAIR!!! I didn't even want to do it in the first place, but Anzu begged me so hard. How could I refuse???

I NEED TO STAND UP FOR MYSELF ONCE IN A WHILE!!!

Like it's not bad enough I'd already spent half the wet day driving to a ghost town like this one cramped in a car listening to Masami Okui twice in a row (Jono played that CD too) and trying to ignore Bakura as he attempted to drown out the sound by playing his Game Boy at top volume and shouting whenever something cool happened. Like it wasn't enough that I've already fallen off the couch twice, gotten drenched by the rain three times (including the time Bakura decided to make like the dogs and shake himself dry), and received ziti for dinner instead of spaghetti. Oh, no. Now THIS has to happen too.

WHY ME???

When it started, Anzu was all like, "Hey cool, a talent show. Looks like fun."

"You should see if they'll let you dance," Shizuka suggested.

Anzu turned all red. "Well, I dunno. It's really such a last minute thing."

"But this is a walk-in," Jono put in. "All you have to do is tell the announcer dude that you want to dance and he'll let you."

"I know! You can do the dance from your recital last fall!" I shouted happily.

"You think I could?" Anzu said. Then her face fell. "I can't," she sighed. "It's a duet. I need someone else to do it with me."

No one else remembered how Anzu's dance had gone. I searched my memory and remembered helping Anzu practice it before her recital.

"That's the one that's sort of like a jazz dance, right?" I said, like the little idiot I am. "It's got a little bit of Irish footwork involved."

"Yuugi! Do you remember it?" Anzu gasped.

I have a pretty good memory. Not to mention I practiced the dance with Anzu forty million times to help her get it down. So, I answered, "Yeah. I do."

The one time it was a good idea to lie, I told the truth.

ERG!!!

Anzu begged me to do it with her. "Since you remember it, we can do it together!" she said, all excited.

"ME? Dance?" I was like, totally unbelieving. "I - I can't! I can't dance for the life of me!"

"Please, Yuugi? I can only do it if you help!"

"Do it, Yuugi!" Great. Now Jono was on my case. "I bet you're fine at it!"

"Yeah, I mean you've done it a thousand times with Anzu-chan, right?" Honda put in. "To help her practice when her duet partner, Johei or whatever, couldn't make it?"

"Ditto to that," Shizuka added.

"I remember it very well." Grandpa needs to stop reminiscing on the past.

"Go ahead, Yuugi," Miho urged.

"We'll be watching you." Thanks for the comfort, Bakura.

"Please, Yuugi?" The pitiful "please, Yuugi" again. How can I resist the temptation to give my crush anything she desires?

"Oh, okay," I said reluctantly. Everyone cheered. So Anzu and I went up to the stage and I was all nervous and stuff and thoughts like "I wish I were dead" and "How come it's always me?" kept floating across my mind. I wished with everything I had in me that the announcer would turn us down and I could just say to Anzu, "Aw, too bad," and go sit back down in the audience where it was safe.

My wishes were in vain. The announcer thought we'd do "just splendid." So he goes off to do his job (announcing) and tells the DJ to play "Little Bitty Pretty One," the song Anzu's dance went to.

So then we were brought to the stage and all the people were staring at us and I felt like I was going to barf as I waited for the music to come on.

Then the music started, and Anzu and I began to dance. I did okay in the beginning. I was thinking, hey, this isn't so bad after all. It'll be over in a couple minutes. But then we got into the hard part of the dance that Anzu had simplified for me during our practices so I could still practice with her but not have to do all the kicks and things, except now I forgot the simplified version and did exactly what Anzu was doing out of nerves and I know I just looked like a dork up there, trying to be professional. Then came the part where Anzu and I had to hold hands and do something like an Irish folk dance that somehow got mixed with the song. Her hands were so warm because of the lights and I couldn't help noticing the graceful way she moved her long legs to the music. I was blushing like crazy and was all too glad when it came time to let go of her hands and take a bow.

That's not the worst of it. Everyone was saying what a good dancer Anzu is - which she is, don't get me wrong, I'm perfectly okay with that. What really ticks me off is what they said about ME. They were going, "Isn't that little boy sweet?"

LITTLE BOY??? I'M FIFTEEN!!!

I know I'm only half Anzu's size, but I don't think I look any more like a little boy than height-wise, do I? But the worst thing is, everyone in the audience probably thought I was Anzu's little brother or something! And THAT is embarrassing. No one would want to be considered their crush's little brother. How humiliating.

I swear I am never coming out of this bathroom. I'll stay here forever.

\\PPPPPPP// - Me and Anzu dancing at Isoruku's Café Improv. If I had known what Jono wanted to use my camera for, I never would have let him borrow it.

Kit: Today's pic is so kawaii! I think Anzu and Yugi are just walking but they're dressed in something other than their school uniforms and they sorta look like they're doing an Irish folk dance so that's why I threw that in. It's adorable! Radagast the Brown has changed his name to Truth Holder, ok minna-san?

Tea: Who's Radagast the Brown?

Yugi: The Snow-bunny.

Everyone: Ohhhh..
