Mystrana: "Well, I'd like to say, proudly of course, that last week was a success and now all the bishi's are back! Well, Kaiba never technically left, but I still managed to borrow him ATM card." (Grins happily) "Ah, yes! The dates!"
Kaiba: (Wanders in) "Not that I care or anything . . ." (Pause) "But do I have any dates this time?"
Mystrana: (Looks at her list) "Hmmm, yes, yes you do!"
Kaiba: (Shifty eyes) "Not that I care or anything, of course."
Mystrana: "Of course not!" (Laughs a little)
Kaiba: (Glares) "So who's all on for dates today?"
Mystrana: "Yami Bakura, Yami Malik, Yami - are you sensing a pattern? - Malik, and you!"
Kaiba: "Ah."
Mystrana: "Yeah, Yami Bakura is very popular, it seems."
Kaiba: "I don't think I am."
Mystrana: "Actually . . . yes! You are!"
Kaiba: "I am?"
Mystrana: "Yes. Yes, you are."
Kaiba: (smiles to himself)
Mystrana: "Anyhow, have you seen Bakura? He's got a date in like three minutes!"
Bakura: (appears out of nowhere) "Did someone call?"
Mystrana: "Yup! Here are directions to your date!"
Bakura: "Um, thanks, but I'll find it on my own."
Mystrana: "Gee, thanks. Thanks a lot."
Bakura: "Believe me, I try."
Mystrana: "I'm honored."
Bakura: (Smirks as he leaves) "You should be."
Kaiba: (After Bakura's gone) "Oh, and you know what else you should be?"
Mystrana: "Hmm?"
Kaiba: "Should be doing, that is."
Mystrana: "What is that?"
Kaiba: (Glaring) "Running." (Points to the ATM card in Mystrana's hand)
~~~
(Bakura arrives at the house, following Mystrana's directions. Amazing. He rings the doorbell, and a girl answers it. She has blue eyes and dirty blonde hair, which is really long)
Jade: "Hi! You must be Bakura!" (She hugs him quickly) "I was really excited about meeting you!"
Bakura: "Really?" (He half smirks, half grins) "Well, nice meeting you too. Any idea on what we should do today?"
Jade: "Well, it's REALLY nice out, so I was thinking . . . wanna go to the pool?"
Bakura: (Pauses, and then nods) "Ok, but then we get to go to a movie of my choice, deal?"
Jade: (Grins) "As long we go out to dinner afterwards."
Bakura: (Grins back) "Works for me!"
(And so they go to the pool. Bakura stops at his house really quickly to get a swimsuit. At the pool . . . .)
Jade: (Wearing a dark blue swimsuit) "Hmmm, where's Bakura? Is he still getting changed?" (She goes wait in the water)
Bakura's voice: (Really loud; you can hear it through the walls of the changing room) "DAMN YOU RYOU! DAMN YOU!"
(He storms out and in a second it's easy to see why he's mad)
Bakura: "I can't believe, out of all the swimsuits, Ryou had to give me this one!" (He glares and scowls down at the pink swimsuit he is wearing)
Jade: (Bursts out laughing) "You're kidding me! Ryou owns a pink swimsuit?"
Bakura: (Shifty eyes) "Yes." (To himself) "It's not my fault that at the time I was naïve and thought pink was a cool color. There never was much color in Egypt! Damn you Ryou!" (He jumps in the pool, angry)
Jade: "Oh, it's not that bad!"
Bakura: (Raises an eyebrow)
Jade: "Ok, ok, so it is, but still!" (Tries to stop laughing, and just barely manages it) "Besides, no one will notice!"
(A little kid wanders up to the edge of the pool)
Kid: "Hey, mister, how come you're wearin' pink? Isn't that a girls color?" (To someone across the room) "Hey sis! Some guy is wearing a pink swimsuit! Come see!"
Bakura: (Glares at the little kid and then goes underwater. He doesn't appear for a few minutes)
Jade: (Pulls Bakura out of the water) "What are you trying to do? Drown yourself?"
Bakura: (Shifty eyes) "Of course not . . . never . . ."
Jade: "Oh, come on, they're just pink!"
Bakura: "Neon pink! With light pink on the inside!"
Jade: "Calm down, hon." (Hugs him lightly) "Now, come on, let's swim some."
(Reluctantly, Bakura calms down and they spend some time swimming. After awhile they get up and dry off and go out to see a movie, during which Bakura complains the entire time about his swimsuit. Finally, they end up in a nice restaurant)
Jade: "See, now isn't this nice?" (looks at Bakura, who's pouting) "Oh, don't be upset about the swimsuit anymore! We can always get you a new one, in like blue and white stripes or something."
Bakura: (Perks up) "Hey, you're right!"
(The waiter comes and they order food)
Bakura: "It's just, pink is such a girly color . . . and I don't want you to think I'm girly or anything . . ."
Jade: "That's so sweet! Don't worry, you're cool."
Bakura: "Really?"
Jade: (Nods)
Bakura: (Slowly a smile spreads across his face, and then turns into his usual smirk) "I knew it! Yes! I rock!"
Jade: (Laughs) "Of course, now come on, let's eat."
(They eat their food, and talk about just all sorts of insane stuff. And then it's time to go home . . . Bakura pulls out a plushie of himself in blue and white swimtrunks)
Bakura: "Here, this is for you to remember this date." (He shoves it at her, smiling a little)
Jade: "Hehe, would you mind if I dyed the swimsuit pink?" (Grins)
Bakura: (Twitch) "Nah, just kidding, I wouldn't mind."
(They both laugh and quickly kiss each other, before Bakura goes off, waving. And setting fire to a nearby squirrel)
~~~
(And so, Mystrana has finally managed to get Kaiba to calm down enough to stop running. She stands in the middle of the room)
Mystrana: "That was a great date! Poor Bakura!"
Kaiba: "Oh, please. Anyhow, who's up for a date?"
Mystrana: (Smiles innocently) "Would you believe Yami Malik?"
Kaiba: (Groan)
Mystrana: "Ahh, come on, EVERYONE loves you Kaiba!"
Kaiba: (Raises eyebrow)
Mystrana: (Sweatdrop) "Ok, so not everyone, but close enough! Ummm, yeah! Yami Malik! I shall now referred to you as Marik darn it! Get in here!"
Marik: (Enters the room) "Yeah? What is it? It had better be important; I WAS busy torturing peasants in Africa!"
Mystrana: (More sweatdrops) "Right, of course. Yeah, well, it is important! You have to go on a date!"
Marik: (Blinks)
Mystrana: (Blinks back)
Marik: (Blinks)
Mystrana: (Blinks)
Marik: "Ok."
Mystrana: (Grin)
Marik: (Leaves)
Kaiba: "You know, you are insane."
Mystrana: "I'm sorry, are you just noticing that now?"
~~~
(And so, Marik makes sure his hair is standing up perfectly before going over to the house that Mystrana has oh-so-kindly given him directions for. He rings the doorbell and glares at random people while he waits for the door to open. Finally, a girl with long black hair and golden eyes answers the door)
Kiya: (Wearing a black dress, casually holding her whip) "Heya, Marik."
Marik: (Blinks) (To himself) "Wow, she must be as evil . . . insane . . . as me . . ." (To Kiya) "Yeah, that's me."
Kiya: "Great! Now, what shall we do?" (Glares at him, kinda, not in a bad way, more like a joking way) "It'd had better be good!"
Marik: (Shrugs) "How about we . . . ummm. . . go out to eat?" (Pause) "Nah, I'd rather torture peasants, but it's up to you, I guess."
Kiya: "Hmmmm, in that case . . . dinner first, peasants later."
(And so, they go to a local fancy type restaurant, and sit down to eat. The waiter comes by)
Waiter: (fancy like) "What would you two care to order?"
Marik: (Glances at the menu) "Some sort of dead, slaughtered animal. As rare as the chef can get away with, and with as much blood as he can get away with." (Pause) "And some iced tea, with two ice cubes, lightly chilled."
Kiya: (Sweatdrop) "And I'll have, ummm, the chicken plate. Yeah. It sounds good. And coke."
Waiter: (Fancy like sweatdropping) "Of course . . . sure. . . . excellent choices." (He gets out as fast as he can)
Marik: (Nonchalant) "Well, I guess I scared him a little."
Kiya: "Hey, he should expect it. Heh."
Marik: "Yeah. Anyhow, should we do anything after this?"
Kiya: "Hmmmm."
Marik: "Well, I hear Bakura went swimming. Not that I'd ever go swimming of course."
(They get their food, and Marik continues to rant about swimming)
Marik: "I mean, if I went swimming, it would probably take me the rest of the day to clean the chlorine out of my hair, and another half a day to fix the spikes up; they have to be just right otherwise I look like a ball of hair, you know . . . and another thing . . ."
Kiya: (Half listening, eating her chicken) "Uh huh, that's great. We're going swimming."
Marik: (Rants some more) "Of course, it's not like I need to use that much hair gel to begin with. My hair is pretty spiky, naturally, but still, it never hurts to help. Actually, I like the vanilla scented type gel . . ."
(They finish their food, and talk about random torture techniques, but then as Marik gets out money to pay . . .)
Kiya: "Do you have swim trunks with you?"
Marik: (Blinks) "Why would I?"
Kiya: "Because we're going swimming."
Marik: (Blinks) "We are?" (Pulls out millennium rod) "No we aren't!"
Kiya: (Pulls out whip) "Yes. We are."
(Marik blinks yet again, and then nods in defeat. Cut to the pool)
Marik: (Changing into his bathing suit and ranting to himself now) "Swimming! I hate swimming! Of course, it has nothing to do with the fact that I can't swim . . ." (Shifty eyes) "Yes, nothing at all." (Groans)
(At the pool side)
Kiya: (in a black swimsuit) "Marik, I swear you take twice as long to dress as my Hikari! Geez, get a move on it!"
(Marik comes out, grumbling)
Kiya: (Sees him in his black swim trunks with a white stripe on the left leg) "Cool!" (Glomps him slightly) "Now, let's swim!"
Marik: (Grumbles)
Kiya: "What's wrong now?"
Marik: (Grumbles)
Kiya: "Just answer me, will you?"
Marik: "I can't swim."
Kiya: (Blinks)
Marik: "What? I can't!" (Glares at the other people watching) "What are you pathetic mortals looking at? Go on with your petty lives!" (He turns back to Kiya)
Kiya: "You seriously can't swim?"
Marik: "I wouldn't joke about something like this, that could make me seem potentially less scary!" (Glares)
Kiya: "Come on, I'll teach you. It's not a big deal." (She gets into the water and pulls Marik in with her. He shudders a little, but then relaxes some)
Marik: "Of course, you will never let anyone know that I couldn't swim before."
Kiya: "Of course not." (Grins evilly) "Of course not."
Marik: (Grumbles some more)
(However, Marik catches on pretty fast with the swimming thing, and is soon swimming pretty well. After awhile, he and Kiya leave the pool, and Marik hesitates before handing her a plushie of him with his black swimsuit)
Kiya: "Aww! Thank you!" (Grins and hugs him)
Marik: "Think of it as bribery to never say a word about the swimming, ok!" (But he hugs her back and kisses her quickly before leaving)
~~~
(Back elsewhere)
Mystrana: (Typing on a laptop)
Kaiba: (Reading over her shoulder)
Mystrana: (Continues to type)
Kaiba: (Pauses) "I'd never say that."
Mystrana: (Looks up from the laptop, reads what she just wrote, and then grins) "Oh, yes, you would."
Kaiba: (Glares, but then says) "Hey, I notice you didn't squeal how cute a date that was with Marik and Kiya."
Mystrana: "Oh, but I figured by now you would just realize how cute each day is."
Kaiba: (Groans)
Mystrana: (Grins innocently) "And yes, you WOULD say that." (Pause) "Besides, what are you doing reading my fanfiction anyway?"
Kaiba: "Don't even start. You don't care if I do."
Mystrana: (Holds up a tape) "Just remember, I have this for blackmail!"
Kaiba: (Pales) "Not that . . ."
Mystrana: "Yup! I knew it would come in handy to borrow it from Joey someday!"
Kaiba: "But . . . please don't use that tape against me . . . I was on a sugar high when I did that . . ."
Mystrana: "Hehehehe." (Puts away the tape for now.)((Oh, BTW, if you wanna know what's on the tape, email me, and I'll send you the fic behind it. ^^))
Kaiba: "Whew."
Mystrana: (Grin) "Oh yah! It's Yami's turn to have a date! Hey, Ya~mi!"
(Yami appears)
Yami: "Yeah?"
Mystrana: (All smiles) "You have a date!
Yami: (somewhat happy with the idea) "Oh, that sounds like fun."
Mystrana: "Yup! Now, go and have fun or I'll force you to watch the video!!!"
Kaiba/Yami: (Pale)
Mystrana: (Innocent grin)
~~~
(Yami, being smart enough to force Kaiba to get him directions instead of taking Mystrana's directions, so he gets to the house on time. ^^ He knocks on the door politely. Oh yeah, he's dressed up in black leather pants and a black leather shirt over a thin black mesh long sleeved shirt.)
Anna: (Answers the door. She has brown hair, green eyes and is just a few inches shorter than Yami. She's also wearing a light purple spring dress, spaghetti straps with a knee length skirt) "Hi Yami! Thank so much for taking me out . . . gah, I still have to put up my hair. . . do you mind coming in a moment?"
Yami: "No, I don't mind." (He follows Anna inside, and she leads him to the hallway, where he sits on a chair while she puts her hair up quickly, looking in the mirror)
Anna: "Yeah, I'm sorry that I wasn't ready, but I had heard that most of the time whenever Mystrana sends someone on a date, they arrive late . . ."
Yami: "Don't get me started on those directions she gives us, they're not that good, I'll give you that." (Grins) "But don't worry. Hey, are we going to go to that fancy restaurant, then?"
Anna: (Nods, putting bobby pins in her hair; it's up in a fancy sort of bun with a half pony tail) "Thanks for waiting! Now, lets go, ok?"
Yami: "Certainly."
(They go to the restaurant, and Anna lets him open the door for her, but she says he has to let her pay for dinner then.)
Yami: "I suppose, but are you sure? I wouldn't mind paying."
Anna: "No, let me, ok?"
Yami: (Nods)
Waiter: (fancy like, of course) "And what would you prefer to order, sir? Ma'am?" (To himself) "Finally, no more weird people asking for slaughtered meat." (Shudder. Fancy shudder, of course)
Yami: "I'll have ummm, special #2."
Anna: "And I'll have the special #3."
Waiter: "Very good sir, ma'am." (Leaves, fancy like)
Anna: "Isn't it so amusing how they always say 'very good' or 'excellent choice' or whatever when you order?"
Yami: "Heh, yeah, maybe they're trying to get bigger tips."
Anna: (Thoughtfully) "Yeah, maybe . . ." (Trails off, staring into space. Yami glances quizzically to see what she is staring at, but there is nothing. She smiles at him) "I've got a great idea!"
Yami: "Yeah?"
Anna: (Taking out a deck of cards) "Lets duel while we wait for the food!"
Yami: (Grins) "I can NEVER back down from a challenge!" (Pulls out deck of cards as well)
Yugi: (From the spirit link) "Yami! You shouldn't duel in a restaurant!"
Yami: (Through the spirit link) "Shush, you!"
Yugi: (Shushes up)
Yami: "Now, where was I? Oh yeah!"
Yami/Anna: (Together) "Let's duel!"
Anna: (Laughs lightly) "That's only slightly corny, but yeah!"
Yami: (Grins)
(They both draw their five cards, and the duel begins! Anna begins the duel playing a series of three cards face down (two magic/trap and one monster) Then she places a fourth card, Gemini Elves, in attack mode. Yami places a few cards face down (magic/trap) and then puts two cards (Monster) face down)
Anna: (Grinning) "This is going to rock!"
Yami: "Yeah, I think I'll end my turn now. Go ahead."
Anna: "I think I will." (She glances at the cards she holds, draws a new card, and uses her Gemini Elves to attack one of Yami's face down cards. Yami's card turns out to be the Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress! Anna's Gemini Elves rips through it)
Yami: "Hmmm . . . I expected that. Which is why I now play . . ." (He flips over a magic card) "Change of heart! As you know, this card allows me to take one of your cards and use it for my own. I will now take control of your Gemini Elves."
(Anyhow, the duel goes on for a bit, neither Yami nor Anna really gaining a lead on the other; first Yami is in the lead by 300 hundred life points; then Anna by a few hundred. Finally, they both are tied at 500 life points)
Yami: "You duel well, you know."
Anna: (Smiles) "Thank you!"
Yami: (Pauses) "Don't you think it's weird we haven't gotten our food yet, though?"
Anna: "Ah well." (Grins) "Now quit stalling! It's your turn!"
Yami: "Ah, right. Well, I'm going to start my turn by drawing a card .. . " (He does so) "And then ending my turn."
Anna: (Blinks) "Ok then! I'll play my Mystical Elf . . ."
(And so, the duel continues, and then the food arrives)
Waiter: "Ummm, would you two like to eat now?"
Anna: (Waves hand impatiently) "Just a moment!"
Yami: "We're almost done!" (He flips over his card) "I play, dark magician!"
Anna: "This isn't good . . ."
Yami: (Smiles) "I always do win, you know."
Anna: (Sadly) "Yeah."
Yami: "But don't worry, I'll help you out, so that someday, I will lose, and you'll be the person that beat me!"
Anna: (Cheers up quickly) "That's so sweet in a rather screwed up way!"
(And to make a long duel short, Yami wins. They bow to the restaurant patrons a few times before sitting down to eat)
Anna: "I don't get the way you start the duels, but if you always win, then it must be good." (Smiles) "You'll have to show me, ok?"
Yami: "Of course."
(After they finish eating, and Yami brings Anna home, he gently kisses her, and leaves, after promising to come back another day so they could duel more)
~~~
(And back at the random room . . .)
Mystrana: (Squeal) "Kawaii!"
Kaiba: "Get a life."
Mystrana: "Had one. Started writing."
Kaiba: "That's just sad, you know."
Mystrana: (Pouts a little) "Silence you!" (Pause) "Hey, guess what! Malik's got a date now! Have you seen him?"
Malik: (From where he's attempting to strangle some small animal) "I'm not here . . ."
Mystrana: (Turns around and sees him) "Malik, you're such a bad liar!"
Malik: (Shifty eyes) "No I'm not."
Mystrana: "Whatever. You have a date!" (She grins and runs around like a maniac) "You have a date, a date, a date, so you'd better get re~ady!"
Malik: (To Kaiba) "I thought you were going to force her to take her Ritalin today."
Kaiba: (To Malik) "Believe me, it's not easy. And, by the way, that's her ON Ritalin."
Malik: (Pauses) (Blinks) "Right . . . of course . . .I'm just going to get the hell out of here now and go on my lovely date. Yes." (He does exactly so, and Mystrana stops running around for a moment)
Mystrana: "Hey, did he leave, then?"
Kaiba: "Yeah."
Mystrana: (Frowns) "He forgot to take my directions . . ."
Kaiba: (To himself) "He'll get there faster, then."
Mystrana: "Hmm? What was that?" (Puzzled look)
Kaiba: (Sweatdrop) "Nothing, nothing at all."
~~~
(Malik is wandering down a street when suddenly a girl collides with him. They both go falling down, but Malik stops himself at the last minute and doesn't fall. He goes over to the girl and helps her up)
DMG: (Wearing a blue-green shirt that matches her eyes, and a black skirt) "Hi Malik! I'm so glad to run into you!"
Malik: "I don't know about you, but I nearly broke my leg!"
DMG: "Oh, sorry about that! I was running to see if you were at my house and I kinda didn't see you well, so, I sorta of smashed into you, but it's ok, right?"
Malik: (Blinks, and then nods) "Yeah, it's ok. Hey, so what do you want to do, then?"
DMG: (Tugs thoughtfully on her hair, and glances around) "Hmmm. . . . I dunno . . . let's see . . ." (Her eyes light up) "Hey, I know! Ok, this sounds really girly, but let's go downtown; there's a sort of fair/market thing going on today. What do you think? Could we go there?"
Malik: (Pauses, and then thinks about) "Well, I could pick up some more jewelry, and it would be cheap . . . and it doesn't sound that girly. So yeah, let's go there."
DMG: "Yeah!"
(So they start walking downtown)
Malik: "It's actually nice out . . . I wish it would be cloudy."
DMG: (Laughs) "You're so amusing, you know!" (She spots the fair/market) "Oh, look! They have duel cards! Let's go look!" (She drags Malik to a HUGE duel monsters cards table. It has cards, duel disk systems, guides, posters of the cards, and the like)
Malik: (Glances at few posters that depict him and Yami dueling) "Hey! I never leased them to print that!"
DMG: "Oh well, it's a really cool poster!"
Malik: "Yeah, but . . ." (Pouts) "I lost that duel!"
DMG: "Yeah, but . . . does anyone ever beat Yami? And not be beaten right back by him if they do win, I mean."
Malik: "Hmmm, true." (He glances at a few other posters)
DMG: (sorting through posters of random duel monsters) "Oh!!! Look! It's the dark magician! I'm SO getting this poster! Isn't he just so cool?"
Malik: (Glances at the poster. It has the dark magician, and he's in a sort of standing pose, back to everyone, but his head partially turned around, and he's holding out his staff in a ready position. It's a really amazing picture) "Yeah, that's pretty cool."
DMG: "Yeah!" (Grins and starts looking for other posters. She ends up getting one more of the dark magician and a rather bit one of Malik looking really evil)
Malik: (Looking at the poster of himself) "Hmmm, ya know what? I really like this poster."
DMG: (Laughs a little) "Yeah, you would, wouldn't you?" (Of course, it IS a kick ass poster with Malik looking all evil and glaring at everything, one hand casually holding a duel monster card, and the other hand holding the millennium rod)
Malik: "Well, amazing picture of me or now, what should we do now?"
DMG: "Hmmm, well, I know where there's a little coffee shop/ice cream store of sorts just down the block . . ."
Malik: "Sounds good to me!"
(And so they go there, and get some ice cream. Yay)
Malik: "Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm. . ."
DMG: "Whatcha humming for?"
Malik: (Shrugs) "I was thinking about the posters we looked at. The one with Yami and I dueling . . . I was just thinking that if I played my Black Hole card earlier, I could have probably won."
DMG: (Facefault) "Eat your ice cream!"
Malik: (Eats his ice cream)
(So they do just that and eat ice cream and talk about random things)
Malik: "If I had enough money, I'd buy a car. A black BMW with leather interior, black, of course."
DMG: "Heh, that sound great."
Malik: "I wonder . . . maybe I could get Bakura to steal one for me."
DMG: (Laughs) "I can just picture it when Bakura gets caught and he's telling them, 'I'm not stealing this for me! I'm stealing it for a friend who's too chicken to steal it on his own!' " (Glances at Malik) "Don't be mad; isn't that exactly what he would say?"
(And indeed, it is. So after awhile, the ice cream has been eaten, so Malik brings DMG home, and kisses her, before promising to call her sometime)
Malik: "Of course, if I wanted to be dramatic, I would say the day I won a duel against Yami I'd take you out to celebrate, but . . ." (Sweatdrops) "I don't think that'll ever happen!"
DMG: (Laughs)
(They kiss again, and then Malik leaves)
~~~
(Back to Mystrana . . .)
Mystrana: "Hmm, hmmm, I want those posters!"
Kaiba: (Wince) "Must you yell?"
Mystrana: (Yelling) "YES! IT"S FUN!"
Kaiba: (Looks for aspirin) (Goes into the cupboard and pulls out chocolate syrup) "Hey! You never told me my chocolate syrup and whipped cream arrived!"
Mystrana: "Ummm, oops?" (Pause) "No, actually, I was going to wait until you asked and you didn't ask at all!"
Kaiba: (Sigh) "Oh well, the important thing is that I now own it. So I'm happy."
Mystrana: "Yay!"
Kaiba: "Anyhow. Who has a date now? Yami? Yugi? Joey? Malik?"
Mystrana: (Stealing some chocolate syrup) "Actually, you have a date!"
Kaiba: (Blink) "Seriously?"
Mystrana: (Nods) "Seriously!"
Kaiba: "Yay!" (Runs off to get ready)
Mystrana: "Whew, and I still get the chocolate syrup!"
Kaiba: (From elsewhere) "Oh, don't worry, Mystrana, I will get you for that later!"
Mystrana: "Dammit!"
~~~
(Anyhow! Kaiba has changed into black pants, a black t-shirt and his trench coat. Of course, that means he looks hot. He looks at the houses, and then goes to the right one, and rings the doorbell. A girl answers the door, and smiles at him)
Michelle: "Hi there, Kaiba." (She is wearing a shirt that matches his trench coat in colors, and a pair of black pants)
Kaiba: "Hi." (Pause) "I was thinking . . . would you like to go out to eat?"
Michelle: "Oh, that would be fun."
Kaiba: "Ok. I wonder, though, would a really fancy restaurant be too stuffy? Should we just stick to the semi-formal?"
Michelle: (Laughs lightly) "You're so considerate! You can go ahead and pick the restaurant, I trust your choice."
Kaiba: (laughs a little) "Well, that's good to know. I know a great restaurant." (He leads her to his limo and they both get inside)
Michelle: "This seat is so comfortable!"
Kaiba: "It is indeed a customized seat; I like to sit there on long trips."
Michelle: "That's a good idea; you know, to put a comfortable chair in for long trips. If I had that much money . . ." (Grins)
Kaiba: "Well, truth be told, I would prefer flying, but that would be rather expensive after awhile." (Pauses) "Well, I do have enough money . . . I wonder why I don't . . ."
Michelle: (Laughs) "Don't look at me, I haven't a clue!"
Kaiba: "I don't know . . . I confuse myself even, sometimes."
Michelle: "I can tell." (Laughs a little)
(So they talk in the limo, and then arrive at the restaurant. It is clearly a five star type of restaurant, and it looks very nice. It's mainly a while marble building, but with blue, turquoise, and aqua blended in to give the marble a very cool look)
Michelle: "This place looks amazing . . ."
Kaiba: "I admit, I've never been here before, but I've heard it's very good, so I figured it must be at least decent."
Michelle: "Hehe, I'm sure it is!"
(They go inside and are seated by a window. Next to them is an indoor fountain made of the same bluish marble and outside the big window they can see a beautiful garden)
Michelle: "I can't believe how nice it is here . . . you know, it almost makes me afraid to order for fear of ruining something, you know what I mean?"
Kaiba: (Nods) "As many fancy restaurants as I've gone to . . . they make me uncomfortable sometimes." (To himself) "Of course, that COULD be because I'm always chasing Mokuba around and trying to get him to settle down . . ."
Michelle: (Hears that) "Oh, you bring Mokuba to fancy places?"
Kaiba: "Yeah. . . he really loves them, so I do it for him as a sort of special treat, you know, every once in awhile. He can get very hyper about it all, but I don't blame him."
Michelle: "I'm sure he's fairly decent compared to other kids."
Kaiba: "Yeah, I guess he is. I'm really proud of him."
(He goes to say more, but the waiter arrives, so he and Michelle look at their menus)
Michelle: "Ummm, I'll have the teriyaki chicken and rice, I guess."
Kaiba: "Yes, make that two."
Waiter: (Fancy like) "Very good. Excellent choices. Indeed." (He leaves)
Kaiba: (absently) "But Mokuba always means well."
Michelle: (Smile) "I'm sure he is."
Kaiba: "Yeah. He really does."
Michelle: (Smile) "Hehe, maybe you should bring him along next time."
Kaiba: "Or not!"
Michelle: (Laughs) "One moment he's the perfect angel . . . the next . . ."
Kaiba: (Grins slightly) "Speaking of not being an angel, he hid my blue eyes from me just a few days ago. I spent all day looking for it and he kept smiling at me telling me I was almost there. . ."
Michelle: "Where was it, then?"
Kaiba: "In the bathroom, under the sink."
Michelle: (Laughs) "I love dragons, by the way. That's partially why I like you so much; you've got the coolest dragons . . ."
Kaiba: "Thanks, dragons are pretty amazing. . . . like, timeless, I guess."
Michelle: "Yup, they can be in anything! I like that about them."
(The waiter chooses this moment to come with their plates of food)
Michelle: "Wow, these plates are beautiful."
Kaiba: "Yeah . . ." (The plates are white china with the typical blue pattern. The food covers most of the plate, but a beautiful border of leaves and cherries can be seen)
Michelle: "I still just can't imagine sitting in a restaurant like this more than once, if you know what I mean . . . like I lived here."
Kaiba: "Heh, I can relate; since Mokuba might drop glass, we have a lot of plastic stuff for right now."
Michelle: "Well, I'm sure if he used china at home all the time, going out wouldn't be as fun."
Kaiba: "Yeah. . . "
(So they continue to talk, until they are finished eating. Kaiba's limo brings them back to Michelle's house. Kaiba walks her to the door, and pauses before kissing her)
Kaiba: "I had a good time."
Michelle: "Me too."
(They smile at each other, and then Kaiba leaves)
~~~
Mystrana: (Squeals) "AH! MEGA KAWAII!"
Kaiba: (coming in) "Geez, I could hear you squealing from all the way outside."
Mystrana: "You had fun, didn't you?" (Smiles)
Kaiba: "Yes. Yes I did."
Mystrana: "I'm so glad!" (Hugs him) "Now you're not going to be a pissy mood for the rest of the day!"
Kaiba: "Hey, what?"
Mystrana: "Darn it, I was wrong."
Kaiba: (Pulls out gun) "Yes. You are SO wrong."
Mystrana: "Eh heh . . . c'mon, at least let me send off the next guy on his date before killing me?"
Kaiba: "Eh, I feel like killing you now. I'm going to go kill someone else though, because you are not worthy of dying by my hand." (He leaves)
Mystrana: (Blinks)
Bakura: (Coming in) "Hey, I just heard Kaiba mutter about how he was going to kill Tea. Should I be worried?"
Mystrana: "Ummm, no. And you don't have anymore dates right now, so why are you here?"
Bakura: (Shrug) "Boredom."
Mystrana: "Oh, of course." (Pause) "Why don't you go torture people with Malik?"
Bakura: "I heard that Kaiba got a ton of chocolate syrup and whipped cream. I wanted to steal some."
Mystrana: (Shakes head sadly) "Right then." (Pause) "YAMI! You have yet another date!"
Yami: (Walks in) "Wow, I do?"
Bakura: (Grumble, grumble)
Mystrana: "Yup!" (Grins) "Now! Go and have fun! Or you won't get paid!"
Bakura: "Again with the getting paid! I haven't gotten any money yet!"
Mystrana: "Yeah, well, I haven't had a chance to use my ATM card."
Bakura: "You mean Kaiba's ATM card."
Mystrana: ". . . yeah."
~~~
(Meanwhile, Yami has gotten changed into black jeans and a dark red shirt. He goes up to the door, and knocks. A girl just about his height, maybe a little taller, with blonde hair and brown eyes answers the door, smiling)
Jewel: "Hello . . ." (She is wearing a dark blue short jean skirt and a dark blue shirt, with a jean jacket) "Come in."
Yami: "Ok."
Jewel: (Leads him to the kitchen) "Here, I thought we could get something to drink before going out."
(They both get a can of pop and sit down at the table)
Yami: "Thank you. By the way . . ." (Pause) "You look really nice."
Jewel: "Thank you."
Yami: (After sipping his pop) "So, what would you like to do today?"
Jewel: "Hmmmm, well, I don't know. . . we could just walk around . . ."
Yami: "Yeah . . . it's a really nice warm day today, so how about we go for a walk and then get ice cream?"
Jewel: "Hey, I like that idea. But aren't you going to burn up in your black pants?"
Yami: "Nah, I'll be fine."
(And so, they go outside, and walk into the conveniently located park)
Yami: "It is really nice out." (He holds Jewel's hand as the two of them walk through the park, going by the lake, etc)
Jewel: "Yeah, I'm really glad, because the weatherman said it was supposed to rain this morning, and I was so worried that it would."
Yami: "You know, I'd love to be the weatherman. You could predict whatever you want, and still get paid, even if you're wrong."
Jewel: (Laughs) "Now that would be an amusing job. Except for all the hate mail, of course."
Yami: "Yeah, no kidding. But if I were the weatherman, I'd make sure to predict temperatures just a bit below what it would be, so everyone will think it'll be cold, but they'll be warm. All the weathermen do is say its going to be warmer than it really is and then everyone gets cold."
Jewel: (Shakes her head, laughing) "That's so true."
Yami: (Smiles)
(They look over the lake; there is a nice breeze and they can smell the water)
Jewel: "It would be fun, though, to predict stuff. Not just the weather, but maybe you know, how a day is going to turn out or something like that."
Yami: "Yeah, I'd love to predict how the outcomes of all my duels would work out."
Jewel: (Laughs) "That's no mystery; you always win, don't you?"
Yami: (Laughs) "Yeah, except that time with Kaiba . . ." (Sigh)
Jewel: "Oh, don't feel bad. C'mon, let's go get ice cream and you'll cheer right up."
(So they walk to the nearby ice cream stand, and order ice cream cones. Jewel gets chocolate, and Yami gets vanilla.)
Jewel: (As they walk along the street, licking their ice cream) "Oooh, let's go window shopping."
Yami: (Shrugs) "Sure, why not?"
(They look in some of the windows of the shops, and stop by an electronics store that has a large ad for Duel Monster cards. Jewel notices there is a commercial being played on the TVs, so she and Yami watch it)
The Commercial:
Voiceover: "Do you ever find yourself getting angry over little things?
(There's a picture of a lady in the kitchen, putting dishes in the sink. Her husband sits in the living room)
Lady: "Honey, will you help me with the dishes?"
Husband: "Not again! You ask me this every night!" (He throws a chair at the wall, and knocks over the coffee table)
Voiceover: "Well, now you can get help! There's something new, called HappyhappyPills!"
(The husband is shown, smiling, and holding up a bottle of pills. Each pill has a smiley face on it)
Husband: (Large fake grin) "These pills have helped me control my anger!"
(Cut back to the scene with the lady in the kitchen)
Lady: "Honey, will you help me with the dishes?"
Husband: (Fake smile) "Certainly dear!"
Voiceover: "If it works for him, it will work for you." (VERY quietly) "Results definitely not guaranteed in any way, shape or form. Have a nice day."
The commercial is over.
Yami: (Blinks)
Jewel: (Blinks)
Yami: "Well, um, that was . . . weird."
Jewel: "Yeah. Let's go now, shall we?"
(They practically run off, and end back up at Jewel's house)
Yami: "Well, besides that screwed up commercial, I had a really good time. You're very nice."
Jewel: "As are you. And I'll hope that we can go for more walks some other day?"
Yami: "Sure." (he kisses her, and smiles)
~~~
Bakura: (Randomly lighting stuff on fire) "Gag me!"
Mystrana: "Oh, come on, was that not so kawaii?"
Bakura: "You and your overuse of the word kawaii."
Mystrana: "It's a good word."
Kaiba: (walks in) "What now?" (is covered in blood)
Mystrana: "Ummm, Kaiba? You're kinda covered in blood . . ."
Kaiba: "Yeah, I know."
Mystrana: "Oh, ok then. Just checking." (Sweatdrop)
Kaiba: "Hello Bakura."
Bakura: "Hello Kaiba."
(Long pause)
Mystrana: (brightly) "You know, when you two look at each other like that, it looks like you want to make out." (Innocent smile)
Kaiba: "!!!!"
Bakura: "How dare you!"
Mystrana: "Oh come on! Take a joke! Please?"
Kaiba and Bakura: (Glare)
Mystrana: "Eh heh . . . hey . . . Yami . . . you have another date now . . . and I've gotta run . . .again. . ." (Runs)
~~~
(And so, Yami gets to change his clothes yet again. ^^;;; Now he is wearing dark blue jeans and a white long sleeved t-shirt with a few belts on each arm)
Yami: (glaring at a map that Mystrana had given him) "I should have known one of these times she would mess me up." (Goes up to a random house and rings the doorbell. Some old guy answers it)
Guy: "Yeah?"
Yami: (Sweatdrop) "Does, um, Megami live here?"
Guy: "What?"
Yami: "On second though, never mind." (He runs far, far away, and tries another house. This time a girl with black hair and brown eyes answers the door)
Megami: "Hiya. You would have to be Yami!" (She glomps onto him) "Hey, wanna go see LOTR? It's in theatres, and it's early enough that there shouldn't be too many people there!"
Yami: "Hmmm, sure, why not? I've never seen it before, is it any good?"
Megami: (Nod nod nod) "Yeah! It rocks! There's this really cute elf and, oh, it's just great!" (She drags Yami off)
(And so they get to the movie theatre. Yami buys two tickets. Inside . . .)
Megami: (Still glomped onto Yami) "This is going to rock! Isn't it?"
Yami: (Shifts, and then smiles) "Yeah."
Megami: "Oh!! Let's get popcorn and pop and candy!" (She drags Yami to the counter)
Yami: (To himself) "Now, what did Yugi tell me about having too much sugar? Oh yeah, he said it caused a sugar high. Is that good or bad, I wonder?" (shrugs and buys pop, and popcorn, and candy)
(They both go into the theatre then, and get seats in the very back, because there aren't that many people there. Also, it's still kinda early. The previews and such haven't even started playing)
Megami: "I told you we'd get great seats! This rocks!"
Yami: (Munches on popcorn) "Yeah. Hopefully there won't be that many people in here."
Megami: "Yeah!"
(after a few minutes, the previews start playing and Megami starts commenting on them)
Megami: "That one will probably suck . . . ohh, I wanna see that one . . . and that one . . . but not that one . . . "
Yami: "Hmm, that one look pretty good."
Megami: "Can you take me to it someday?"
Yami: "When is it coming to theatre?"
Megami: (Waits for the end of the preview, and says) "A month from tomorrow."
Yami: "I'll keep that day open, then."
(The actual movie starts playing, so Yami and Megami start quieting down. Every now and then Megami sighs happily and glomps onto Yami. Yami eats his candy happily)
Megami: (Points to the screen) "This is the BEST part!"
Yami: "I don't get it, what's happening?"
Megami: "They're going to launch Gimli!"
Yami: "What?"
Megami: "You'll see!"
(The movie goes on, Gimli gets thrown, everyone laughs, etc)
Megami: "See!"
Yami: (Laughs. Quietly, of course, cos he's mindful of the other people)
(So anyway, after the movie is over, Megami and Yami head back home)
Yami: "So, did you have fun?"
Megami: "Yeah!" (Glomps onto him)
Yami: (Grins) "I'll make sure to call you about that other movie sometime."
Megami: (Grin) "Yeah, you'd better!"
(Yami and Megami kiss and then Yami leaves)
~~~
Bakura: (Lounging and drinking some iced tea) "Now, this rocks."
Kaiba: (Lounging next to him, drinking iced tea) "Yeah, this almost makes it all worth it."
Mystrana: (Grumble)
Bakura: "More iced tea!"
Mystrana: (Pours him some iced tea, grumbling) "How much longer do I have to do this?"
Kaiba: "Eh, until I get bored."
Bakura: "Yeah."
Mystrana: "Great, this is going to take a long time."
Kaiba: "Stop complaining and pour me iced tea!"
Mystrana: "Feh." (Does so) "Pour them iced tea or lose my life, what a choice. What a choice."
Kaiba/Bakura: (Grin)
Mystrana: "Oh yeah! Which reminds me! Next week, I'll put up the other dates people asked for! Then I want to try something. EVERYONE PAY ATTENTION! THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!!"
Kaiba: "Gee, what gave that away?"
-=-=-=-IMPORTANT=-=-=-=-Mystrana: "Not next week, but the week after, I'm going to hold a party! You guys can review and pick a Yu-gi-oh character to take you to it!!"
Kaiba/Bakura: (Pale)
Mystrana: "Now, you can still ask for dates, but if you want a YuGiOh character to take you to the dance, MAKE SURE TO SPECIFY, or it won't happen. K? And unlike the dates, the guys can only be taken once! Ja ne!"
Kaiba: "More iced tea!"
~~~
(Nanaki appears)
Nanaki: "It appears I have been elected to tell you guys a few things. First off, if your date wasn't this time, here's a list of dates coming up in the next installation:
Kurai will go out with Yami Malik
Ari will go out with Malik
Duet Maxwell will go out with Malik
Sunny will go out with Seto
Gina will go out with Yami."
(Nanaki pauses and then continues on)
"Remember to review and request a date to the party, but you have to say something like "I want (insert name) to take me to the party!" and then add descriptions and how you act at a party, etc, to make Mystrana's life easier."
(She goes off)
~~~
Mystrana: (Finally relaxing with a bottle of Ramune (Japanese soda)) "Yes, now that the guys have left for now I can relax!"
Kaiba: "Actually, I didn't leave."
Mystrana: "Do you ever?"
Kaiba: "No . . ."
Mystrana: (Finishes her Ramune and looks at the bottle quizzically) "So why do they put marbles in there anyway?"
Kaiba: "I think the marble is to keep it fresh and -"
Mystrana: (Cuts him off) "I think it's to prevent people from chugging the Ramune." (Turns the bottle upsidedown; the marble blocks the top of the bottle, so no liquid can get through)
Kaiba: "I think you're insane."
Mystrana: "Well, I'd like to say, proudly of course, that last week was a success and now all the bishi's are back! Well, Kaiba never technically left, but I still managed to borrow him ATM card." (Grins happily) "Ah, yes! The dates!"
Kaiba: (Wanders in) "Not that I care or anything . . ." (Pause) "But do I have any dates this time?"
Mystrana: (Looks at her list) "Hmmm, yes, yes you do!"
Kaiba: (Shifty eyes) "Not that I care or anything, of course."
Mystrana: "Of course not!" (Laughs a little)
Kaiba: (Glares) "So who's all on for dates today?"
Mystrana: "Yami Bakura, Yami Malik, Yami - are you sensing a pattern? - Malik, and you!"
Kaiba: "Ah."
Mystrana: "Yeah, Yami Bakura is very popular, it seems."
Kaiba: "I don't think I am."
Mystrana: "Actually . . . yes! You are!"
Kaiba: "I am?"
Mystrana: "Yes. Yes, you are."
Kaiba: (smiles to himself)
Mystrana: "Anyhow, have you seen Bakura? He's got a date in like three minutes!"
Bakura: (appears out of nowhere) "Did someone call?"
Mystrana: "Yup! Here are directions to your date!"
Bakura: "Um, thanks, but I'll find it on my own."
Mystrana: "Gee, thanks. Thanks a lot."
Bakura: "Believe me, I try."
Mystrana: "I'm honored."
Bakura: (Smirks as he leaves) "You should be."
Kaiba: (After Bakura's gone) "Oh, and you know what else you should be?"
Mystrana: "Hmm?"
Kaiba: "Should be doing, that is."
Mystrana: "What is that?"
Kaiba: (Glaring) "Running." (Points to the ATM card in Mystrana's hand)
~~~
(Bakura arrives at the house, following Mystrana's directions. Amazing. He rings the doorbell, and a girl answers it. She has blue eyes and dirty blonde hair, which is really long)
Jade: "Hi! You must be Bakura!" (She hugs him quickly) "I was really excited about meeting you!"
Bakura: "Really?" (He half smirks, half grins) "Well, nice meeting you too. Any idea on what we should do today?"
Jade: "Well, it's REALLY nice out, so I was thinking . . . wanna go to the pool?"
Bakura: (Pauses, and then nods) "Ok, but then we get to go to a movie of my choice, deal?"
Jade: (Grins) "As long we go out to dinner afterwards."
Bakura: (Grins back) "Works for me!"
(And so they go to the pool. Bakura stops at his house really quickly to get a swimsuit. At the pool . . . .)
Jade: (Wearing a dark blue swimsuit) "Hmmm, where's Bakura? Is he still getting changed?" (She goes wait in the water)
Bakura's voice: (Really loud; you can hear it through the walls of the changing room) "DAMN YOU RYOU! DAMN YOU!"
(He storms out and in a second it's easy to see why he's mad)
Bakura: "I can't believe, out of all the swimsuits, Ryou had to give me this one!" (He glares and scowls down at the pink swimsuit he is wearing)
Jade: (Bursts out laughing) "You're kidding me! Ryou owns a pink swimsuit?"
Bakura: (Shifty eyes) "Yes." (To himself) "It's not my fault that at the time I was naïve and thought pink was a cool color. There never was much color in Egypt! Damn you Ryou!" (He jumps in the pool, angry)
Jade: "Oh, it's not that bad!"
Bakura: (Raises an eyebrow)
Jade: "Ok, ok, so it is, but still!" (Tries to stop laughing, and just barely manages it) "Besides, no one will notice!"
(A little kid wanders up to the edge of the pool)
Kid: "Hey, mister, how come you're wearin' pink? Isn't that a girls color?" (To someone across the room) "Hey sis! Some guy is wearing a pink swimsuit! Come see!"
Bakura: (Glares at the little kid and then goes underwater. He doesn't appear for a few minutes)
Jade: (Pulls Bakura out of the water) "What are you trying to do? Drown yourself?"
Bakura: (Shifty eyes) "Of course not . . . never . . ."
Jade: "Oh, come on, they're just pink!"
Bakura: "Neon pink! With light pink on the inside!"
Jade: "Calm down, hon." (Hugs him lightly) "Now, come on, let's swim some."
(Reluctantly, Bakura calms down and they spend some time swimming. After awhile they get up and dry off and go out to see a movie, during which Bakura complains the entire time about his swimsuit. Finally, they end up in a nice restaurant)
Jade: "See, now isn't this nice?" (looks at Bakura, who's pouting) "Oh, don't be upset about the swimsuit anymore! We can always get you a new one, in like blue and white stripes or something."
Bakura: (Perks up) "Hey, you're right!"
(The waiter comes and they order food)
Bakura: "It's just, pink is such a girly color . . . and I don't want you to think I'm girly or anything . . ."
Jade: "That's so sweet! Don't worry, you're cool."
Bakura: "Really?"
Jade: (Nods)
Bakura: (Slowly a smile spreads across his face, and then turns into his usual smirk) "I knew it! Yes! I rock!"
Jade: (Laughs) "Of course, now come on, let's eat."
(They eat their food, and talk about just all sorts of insane stuff. And then it's time to go home . . . Bakura pulls out a plushie of himself in blue and white swimtrunks)
Bakura: "Here, this is for you to remember this date." (He shoves it at her, smiling a little)
Jade: "Hehe, would you mind if I dyed the swimsuit pink?" (Grins)
Bakura: (Twitch) "Nah, just kidding, I wouldn't mind."
(They both laugh and quickly kiss each other, before Bakura goes off, waving. And setting fire to a nearby squirrel)
~~~
(And so, Mystrana has finally managed to get Kaiba to calm down enough to stop running. She stands in the middle of the room)
Mystrana: "That was a great date! Poor Bakura!"
Kaiba: "Oh, please. Anyhow, who's up for a date?"
Mystrana: (Smiles innocently) "Would you believe Yami Malik?"
Kaiba: (Groan)
Mystrana: "Ahh, come on, EVERYONE loves you Kaiba!"
Kaiba: (Raises eyebrow)
Mystrana: (Sweatdrop) "Ok, so not everyone, but close enough! Ummm, yeah! Yami Malik! I shall now referred to you as Marik darn it! Get in here!"
Marik: (Enters the room) "Yeah? What is it? It had better be important; I WAS busy torturing peasants in Africa!"
Mystrana: (More sweatdrops) "Right, of course. Yeah, well, it is important! You have to go on a date!"
Marik: (Blinks)
Mystrana: (Blinks back)
Marik: (Blinks)
Mystrana: (Blinks)
Marik: "Ok."
Mystrana: (Grin)
Marik: (Leaves)
Kaiba: "You know, you are insane."
Mystrana: "I'm sorry, are you just noticing that now?"
~~~
(And so, Marik makes sure his hair is standing up perfectly before going over to the house that Mystrana has oh-so-kindly given him directions for. He rings the doorbell and glares at random people while he waits for the door to open. Finally, a girl with long black hair and golden eyes answers the door)
Kiya: (Wearing a black dress, casually holding her whip) "Heya, Marik."
Marik: (Blinks) (To himself) "Wow, she must be as evil . . . insane . . . as me . . ." (To Kiya) "Yeah, that's me."
Kiya: "Great! Now, what shall we do?" (Glares at him, kinda, not in a bad way, more like a joking way) "It'd had better be good!"
Marik: (Shrugs) "How about we . . . ummm. . . go out to eat?" (Pause) "Nah, I'd rather torture peasants, but it's up to you, I guess."
Kiya: "Hmmmm, in that case . . . dinner first, peasants later."
(And so, they go to a local fancy type restaurant, and sit down to eat. The waiter comes by)
Waiter: (fancy like) "What would you two care to order?"
Marik: (Glances at the menu) "Some sort of dead, slaughtered animal. As rare as the chef can get away with, and with as much blood as he can get away with." (Pause) "And some iced tea, with two ice cubes, lightly chilled."
Kiya: (Sweatdrop) "And I'll have, ummm, the chicken plate. Yeah. It sounds good. And coke."
Waiter: (Fancy like sweatdropping) "Of course . . . sure. . . . excellent choices." (He gets out as fast as he can)
Marik: (Nonchalant) "Well, I guess I scared him a little."
Kiya: "Hey, he should expect it. Heh."
Marik: "Yeah. Anyhow, should we do anything after this?"
Kiya: "Hmmmm."
Marik: "Well, I hear Bakura went swimming. Not that I'd ever go swimming of course."
(They get their food, and Marik continues to rant about swimming)
Marik: "I mean, if I went swimming, it would probably take me the rest of the day to clean the chlorine out of my hair, and another half a day to fix the spikes up; they have to be just right otherwise I look like a ball of hair, you know . . . and another thing . . ."
Kiya: (Half listening, eating her chicken) "Uh huh, that's great. We're going swimming."
Marik: (Rants some more) "Of course, it's not like I need to use that much hair gel to begin with. My hair is pretty spiky, naturally, but still, it never hurts to help. Actually, I like the vanilla scented type gel . . ."
(They finish their food, and talk about random torture techniques, but then as Marik gets out money to pay . . .)
Kiya: "Do you have swim trunks with you?"
Marik: (Blinks) "Why would I?"
Kiya: "Because we're going swimming."
Marik: (Blinks) "We are?" (Pulls out millennium rod) "No we aren't!"
Kiya: (Pulls out whip) "Yes. We are."
(Marik blinks yet again, and then nods in defeat. Cut to the pool)
Marik: (Changing into his bathing suit and ranting to himself now) "Swimming! I hate swimming! Of course, it has nothing to do with the fact that I can't swim . . ." (Shifty eyes) "Yes, nothing at all." (Groans)
(At the pool side)
Kiya: (in a black swimsuit) "Marik, I swear you take twice as long to dress as my Hikari! Geez, get a move on it!"
(Marik comes out, grumbling)
Kiya: (Sees him in his black swim trunks with a white stripe on the left leg) "Cool!" (Glomps him slightly) "Now, let's swim!"
Marik: (Grumbles)
Kiya: "What's wrong now?"
Marik: (Grumbles)
Kiya: "Just answer me, will you?"
Marik: "I can't swim."
Kiya: (Blinks)
Marik: "What? I can't!" (Glares at the other people watching) "What are you pathetic mortals looking at? Go on with your petty lives!" (He turns back to Kiya)
Kiya: "You seriously can't swim?"
Marik: "I wouldn't joke about something like this, that could make me seem potentially less scary!" (Glares)
Kiya: "Come on, I'll teach you. It's not a big deal." (She gets into the water and pulls Marik in with her. He shudders a little, but then relaxes some)
Marik: "Of course, you will never let anyone know that I couldn't swim before."
Kiya: "Of course not." (Grins evilly) "Of course not."
Marik: (Grumbles some more)
(However, Marik catches on pretty fast with the swimming thing, and is soon swimming pretty well. After awhile, he and Kiya leave the pool, and Marik hesitates before handing her a plushie of him with his black swimsuit)
Kiya: "Aww! Thank you!" (Grins and hugs him)
Marik: "Think of it as bribery to never say a word about the swimming, ok!" (But he hugs her back and kisses her quickly before leaving)
~~~
(Back elsewhere)
Mystrana: (Typing on a laptop)
Kaiba: (Reading over her shoulder)
Mystrana: (Continues to type)
Kaiba: (Pauses) "I'd never say that."
Mystrana: (Looks up from the laptop, reads what she just wrote, and then grins) "Oh, yes, you would."
Kaiba: (Glares, but then says) "Hey, I notice you didn't squeal how cute a date that was with Marik and Kiya."
Mystrana: "Oh, but I figured by now you would just realize how cute each day is."
Kaiba: (Groans)
Mystrana: (Grins innocently) "And yes, you WOULD say that." (Pause) "Besides, what are you doing reading my fanfiction anyway?"
Kaiba: "Don't even start. You don't care if I do."
Mystrana: (Holds up a tape) "Just remember, I have this for blackmail!"
Kaiba: (Pales) "Not that . . ."
Mystrana: "Yup! I knew it would come in handy to borrow it from Joey someday!"
Kaiba: "But . . . please don't use that tape against me . . . I was on a sugar high when I did that . . ."
Mystrana: "Hehehehe." (Puts away the tape for now.)((Oh, BTW, if you wanna know what's on the tape, email me, and I'll send you the fic behind it. ^^))
Kaiba: "Whew."
Mystrana: (Grin) "Oh yah! It's Yami's turn to have a date! Hey, Ya~mi!"
(Yami appears)
Yami: "Yeah?"
Mystrana: (All smiles) "You have a date!
Yami: (somewhat happy with the idea) "Oh, that sounds like fun."
Mystrana: "Yup! Now, go and have fun or I'll force you to watch the video!!!"
Kaiba/Yami: (Pale)
Mystrana: (Innocent grin)
~~~
(Yami, being smart enough to force Kaiba to get him directions instead of taking Mystrana's directions, so he gets to the house on time. ^^ He knocks on the door politely. Oh yeah, he's dressed up in black leather pants and a black leather shirt over a thin black mesh long sleeved shirt.)
Anna: (Answers the door. She has brown hair, green eyes and is just a few inches shorter than Yami. She's also wearing a light purple spring dress, spaghetti straps with a knee length skirt) "Hi Yami! Thank so much for taking me out . . . gah, I still have to put up my hair. . . do you mind coming in a moment?"
Yami: "No, I don't mind." (He follows Anna inside, and she leads him to the hallway, where he sits on a chair while she puts her hair up quickly, looking in the mirror)
Anna: "Yeah, I'm sorry that I wasn't ready, but I had heard that most of the time whenever Mystrana sends someone on a date, they arrive late . . ."
Yami: "Don't get me started on those directions she gives us, they're not that good, I'll give you that." (Grins) "But don't worry. Hey, are we going to go to that fancy restaurant, then?"
Anna: (Nods, putting bobby pins in her hair; it's up in a fancy sort of bun with a half pony tail) "Thanks for waiting! Now, lets go, ok?"
Yami: "Certainly."
(They go to the restaurant, and Anna lets him open the door for her, but she says he has to let her pay for dinner then.)
Yami: "I suppose, but are you sure? I wouldn't mind paying."
Anna: "No, let me, ok?"
Yami: (Nods)
Waiter: (fancy like, of course) "And what would you prefer to order, sir? Ma'am?" (To himself) "Finally, no more weird people asking for slaughtered meat." (Shudder. Fancy shudder, of course)
Yami: "I'll have ummm, special #2."
Anna: "And I'll have the special #3."
Waiter: "Very good sir, ma'am." (Leaves, fancy like)
Anna: "Isn't it so amusing how they always say 'very good' or 'excellent choice' or whatever when you order?"
Yami: "Heh, yeah, maybe they're trying to get bigger tips."
Anna: (Thoughtfully) "Yeah, maybe . . ." (Trails off, staring into space. Yami glances quizzically to see what she is staring at, but there is nothing. She smiles at him) "I've got a great idea!"
Yami: "Yeah?"
Anna: (Taking out a deck of cards) "Lets duel while we wait for the food!"
Yami: (Grins) "I can NEVER back down from a challenge!" (Pulls out deck of cards as well)
Yugi: (From the spirit link) "Yami! You shouldn't duel in a restaurant!"
Yami: (Through the spirit link) "Shush, you!"
Yugi: (Shushes up)
Yami: "Now, where was I? Oh yeah!"
Yami/Anna: (Together) "Let's duel!"
Anna: (Laughs lightly) "That's only slightly corny, but yeah!"
Yami: (Grins)
(They both draw their five cards, and the duel begins! Anna begins the duel playing a series of three cards face down (two magic/trap and one monster) Then she places a fourth card, Gemini Elves, in attack mode. Yami places a few cards face down (magic/trap) and then puts two cards (Monster) face down)
Anna: (Grinning) "This is going to rock!"
Yami: "Yeah, I think I'll end my turn now. Go ahead."
Anna: "I think I will." (She glances at the cards she holds, draws a new card, and uses her Gemini Elves to attack one of Yami's face down cards. Yami's card turns out to be the Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress! Anna's Gemini Elves rips through it)
Yami: "Hmmm . . . I expected that. Which is why I now play . . ." (He flips over a magic card) "Change of heart! As you know, this card allows me to take one of your cards and use it for my own. I will now take control of your Gemini Elves."
(Anyhow, the duel goes on for a bit, neither Yami nor Anna really gaining a lead on the other; first Yami is in the lead by 300 hundred life points; then Anna by a few hundred. Finally, they both are tied at 500 life points)
Yami: "You duel well, you know."
Anna: (Smiles) "Thank you!"
Yami: (Pauses) "Don't you think it's weird we haven't gotten our food yet, though?"
Anna: "Ah well." (Grins) "Now quit stalling! It's your turn!"
Yami: "Ah, right. Well, I'm going to start my turn by drawing a card .. . " (He does so) "And then ending my turn."
Anna: (Blinks) "Ok then! I'll play my Mystical Elf . . ."
(And so, the duel continues, and then the food arrives)
Waiter: "Ummm, would you two like to eat now?"
Anna: (Waves hand impatiently) "Just a moment!"
Yami: "We're almost done!" (He flips over his card) "I play, dark magician!"
Anna: "This isn't good . . ."
Yami: (Smiles) "I always do win, you know."
Anna: (Sadly) "Yeah."
Yami: "But don't worry, I'll help you out, so that someday, I will lose, and you'll be the person that beat me!"
Anna: (Cheers up quickly) "That's so sweet in a rather screwed up way!"
(And to make a long duel short, Yami wins. They bow to the restaurant patrons a few times before sitting down to eat)
Anna: "I don't get the way you start the duels, but if you always win, then it must be good." (Smiles) "You'll have to show me, ok?"
Yami: "Of course."
(After they finish eating, and Yami brings Anna home, he gently kisses her, and leaves, after promising to come back another day so they could duel more)
~~~
(And back at the random room . . .)
Mystrana: (Squeal) "Kawaii!"
Kaiba: "Get a life."
Mystrana: "Had one. Started writing."
Kaiba: "That's just sad, you know."
Mystrana: (Pouts a little) "Silence you!" (Pause) "Hey, guess what! Malik's got a date now! Have you seen him?"
Malik: (From where he's attempting to strangle some small animal) "I'm not here . . ."
Mystrana: (Turns around and sees him) "Malik, you're such a bad liar!"
Malik: (Shifty eyes) "No I'm not."
Mystrana: "Whatever. You have a date!" (She grins and runs around like a maniac) "You have a date, a date, a date, so you'd better get re~ady!"
Malik: (To Kaiba) "I thought you were going to force her to take her Ritalin today."
Kaiba: (To Malik) "Believe me, it's not easy. And, by the way, that's her ON Ritalin."
Malik: (Pauses) (Blinks) "Right . . . of course . . .I'm just going to get the hell out of here now and go on my lovely date. Yes." (He does exactly so, and Mystrana stops running around for a moment)
Mystrana: "Hey, did he leave, then?"
Kaiba: "Yeah."
Mystrana: (Frowns) "He forgot to take my directions . . ."
Kaiba: (To himself) "He'll get there faster, then."
Mystrana: "Hmm? What was that?" (Puzzled look)
Kaiba: (Sweatdrop) "Nothing, nothing at all."
~~~
(Malik is wandering down a street when suddenly a girl collides with him. They both go falling down, but Malik stops himself at the last minute and doesn't fall. He goes over to the girl and helps her up)
DMG: (Wearing a blue-green shirt that matches her eyes, and a black skirt) "Hi Malik! I'm so glad to run into you!"
Malik: "I don't know about you, but I nearly broke my leg!"
DMG: "Oh, sorry about that! I was running to see if you were at my house and I kinda didn't see you well, so, I sorta of smashed into you, but it's ok, right?"
Malik: (Blinks, and then nods) "Yeah, it's ok. Hey, so what do you want to do, then?"
DMG: (Tugs thoughtfully on her hair, and glances around) "Hmmm. . . . I dunno . . . let's see . . ." (Her eyes light up) "Hey, I know! Ok, this sounds really girly, but let's go downtown; there's a sort of fair/market thing going on today. What do you think? Could we go there?"
Malik: (Pauses, and then thinks about) "Well, I could pick up some more jewelry, and it would be cheap . . . and it doesn't sound that girly. So yeah, let's go there."
DMG: "Yeah!"
(So they start walking downtown)
Malik: "It's actually nice out . . . I wish it would be cloudy."
DMG: (Laughs) "You're so amusing, you know!" (She spots the fair/market) "Oh, look! They have duel cards! Let's go look!" (She drags Malik to a HUGE duel monsters cards table. It has cards, duel disk systems, guides, posters of the cards, and the like)
Malik: (Glances at few posters that depict him and Yami dueling) "Hey! I never leased them to print that!"
DMG: "Oh well, it's a really cool poster!"
Malik: "Yeah, but . . ." (Pouts) "I lost that duel!"
DMG: "Yeah, but . . . does anyone ever beat Yami? And not be beaten right back by him if they do win, I mean."
Malik: "Hmmm, true." (He glances at a few other posters)
DMG: (sorting through posters of random duel monsters) "Oh!!! Look! It's the dark magician! I'm SO getting this poster! Isn't he just so cool?"
Malik: (Glances at the poster. It has the dark magician, and he's in a sort of standing pose, back to everyone, but his head partially turned around, and he's holding out his staff in a ready position. It's a really amazing picture) "Yeah, that's pretty cool."
DMG: "Yeah!" (Grins and starts looking for other posters. She ends up getting one more of the dark magician and a rather bit one of Malik looking really evil)
Malik: (Looking at the poster of himself) "Hmmm, ya know what? I really like this poster."
DMG: (Laughs a little) "Yeah, you would, wouldn't you?" (Of course, it IS a kick ass poster with Malik looking all evil and glaring at everything, one hand casually holding a duel monster card, and the other hand holding the millennium rod)
Malik: "Well, amazing picture of me or now, what should we do now?"
DMG: "Hmmm, well, I know where there's a little coffee shop/ice cream store of sorts just down the block . . ."
Malik: "Sounds good to me!"
(And so they go there, and get some ice cream. Yay)
Malik: "Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm. . ."
DMG: "Whatcha humming for?"
Malik: (Shrugs) "I was thinking about the posters we looked at. The one with Yami and I dueling . . . I was just thinking that if I played my Black Hole card earlier, I could have probably won."
DMG: (Facefault) "Eat your ice cream!"
Malik: (Eats his ice cream)
(So they do just that and eat ice cream and talk about random things)
Malik: "If I had enough money, I'd buy a car. A black BMW with leather interior, black, of course."
DMG: "Heh, that sound great."
Malik: "I wonder . . . maybe I could get Bakura to steal one for me."
DMG: (Laughs) "I can just picture it when Bakura gets caught and he's telling them, 'I'm not stealing this for me! I'm stealing it for a friend who's too chicken to steal it on his own!' " (Glances at Malik) "Don't be mad; isn't that exactly what he would say?"
(And indeed, it is. So after awhile, the ice cream has been eaten, so Malik brings DMG home, and kisses her, before promising to call her sometime)
Malik: "Of course, if I wanted to be dramatic, I would say the day I won a duel against Yami I'd take you out to celebrate, but . . ." (Sweatdrops) "I don't think that'll ever happen!"
DMG: (Laughs)
(They kiss again, and then Malik leaves)
~~~
(Back to Mystrana . . .)
Mystrana: "Hmm, hmmm, I want those posters!"
Kaiba: (Wince) "Must you yell?"
Mystrana: (Yelling) "YES! IT"S FUN!"
Kaiba: (Looks for aspirin) (Goes into the cupboard and pulls out chocolate syrup) "Hey! You never told me my chocolate syrup and whipped cream arrived!"
Mystrana: "Ummm, oops?" (Pause) "No, actually, I was going to wait until you asked and you didn't ask at all!"
Kaiba: (Sigh) "Oh well, the important thing is that I now own it. So I'm happy."
Mystrana: "Yay!"
Kaiba: "Anyhow. Who has a date now? Yami? Yugi? Joey? Malik?"
Mystrana: (Stealing some chocolate syrup) "Actually, you have a date!"
Kaiba: (Blink) "Seriously?"
Mystrana: (Nods) "Seriously!"
Kaiba: "Yay!" (Runs off to get ready)
Mystrana: "Whew, and I still get the chocolate syrup!"
Kaiba: (From elsewhere) "Oh, don't worry, Mystrana, I will get you for that later!"
Mystrana: "Dammit!"
~~~
(Anyhow! Kaiba has changed into black pants, a black t-shirt and his trench coat. Of course, that means he looks hot. He looks at the houses, and then goes to the right one, and rings the doorbell. A girl answers the door, and smiles at him)
Michelle: "Hi there, Kaiba." (She is wearing a shirt that matches his trench coat in colors, and a pair of black pants)
Kaiba: "Hi." (Pause) "I was thinking . . . would you like to go out to eat?"
Michelle: "Oh, that would be fun."
Kaiba: "Ok. I wonder, though, would a really fancy restaurant be too stuffy? Should we just stick to the semi-formal?"
Michelle: (Laughs lightly) "You're so considerate! You can go ahead and pick the restaurant, I trust your choice."
Kaiba: (laughs a little) "Well, that's good to know. I know a great restaurant." (He leads her to his limo and they both get inside)
Michelle: "This seat is so comfortable!"
Kaiba: "It is indeed a customized seat; I like to sit there on long trips."
Michelle: "That's a good idea; you know, to put a comfortable chair in for long trips. If I had that much money . . ." (Grins)
Kaiba: "Well, truth be told, I would prefer flying, but that would be rather expensive after awhile." (Pauses) "Well, I do have enough money . . . I wonder why I don't . . ."
Michelle: (Laughs) "Don't look at me, I haven't a clue!"
Kaiba: "I don't know . . . I confuse myself even, sometimes."
Michelle: "I can tell." (Laughs a little)
(So they talk in the limo, and then arrive at the restaurant. It is clearly a five star type of restaurant, and it looks very nice. It's mainly a while marble building, but with blue, turquoise, and aqua blended in to give the marble a very cool look)
Michelle: "This place looks amazing . . ."
Kaiba: "I admit, I've never been here before, but I've heard it's very good, so I figured it must be at least decent."
Michelle: "Hehe, I'm sure it is!"
(They go inside and are seated by a window. Next to them is an indoor fountain made of the same bluish marble and outside the big window they can see a beautiful garden)
Michelle: "I can't believe how nice it is here . . . you know, it almost makes me afraid to order for fear of ruining something, you know what I mean?"
Kaiba: (Nods) "As many fancy restaurants as I've gone to . . . they make me uncomfortable sometimes." (To himself) "Of course, that COULD be because I'm always chasing Mokuba around and trying to get him to settle down . . ."
Michelle: (Hears that) "Oh, you bring Mokuba to fancy places?"
Kaiba: "Yeah. . . he really loves them, so I do it for him as a sort of special treat, you know, every once in awhile. He can get very hyper about it all, but I don't blame him."
Michelle: "I'm sure he's fairly decent compared to other kids."
Kaiba: "Yeah, I guess he is. I'm really proud of him."
(He goes to say more, but the waiter arrives, so he and Michelle look at their menus)
Michelle: "Ummm, I'll have the teriyaki chicken and rice, I guess."
Kaiba: "Yes, make that two."
Waiter: (Fancy like) "Very good. Excellent choices. Indeed." (He leaves)
Kaiba: (absently) "But Mokuba always means well."
Michelle: (Smile) "I'm sure he is."
Kaiba: "Yeah. He really does."
Michelle: (Smile) "Hehe, maybe you should bring him along next time."
Kaiba: "Or not!"
Michelle: (Laughs) "One moment he's the perfect angel . . . the next . . ."
Kaiba: (Grins slightly) "Speaking of not being an angel, he hid my blue eyes from me just a few days ago. I spent all day looking for it and he kept smiling at me telling me I was almost there. . ."
Michelle: "Where was it, then?"
Kaiba: "In the bathroom, under the sink."
Michelle: (Laughs) "I love dragons, by the way. That's partially why I like you so much; you've got the coolest dragons . . ."
Kaiba: "Thanks, dragons are pretty amazing. . . . like, timeless, I guess."
Michelle: "Yup, they can be in anything! I like that about them."
(The waiter chooses this moment to come with their plates of food)
Michelle: "Wow, these plates are beautiful."
Kaiba: "Yeah . . ." (The plates are white china with the typical blue pattern. The food covers most of the plate, but a beautiful border of leaves and cherries can be seen)
Michelle: "I still just can't imagine sitting in a restaurant like this more than once, if you know what I mean . . . like I lived here."
Kaiba: "Heh, I can relate; since Mokuba might drop glass, we have a lot of plastic stuff for right now."
Michelle: "Well, I'm sure if he used china at home all the time, going out wouldn't be as fun."
Kaiba: "Yeah. . . "
(So they continue to talk, until they are finished eating. Kaiba's limo brings them back to Michelle's house. Kaiba walks her to the door, and pauses before kissing her)
Kaiba: "I had a good time."
Michelle: "Me too."
(They smile at each other, and then Kaiba leaves)
~~~
Mystrana: (Squeals) "AH! MEGA KAWAII!"
Kaiba: (coming in) "Geez, I could hear you squealing from all the way outside."
Mystrana: "You had fun, didn't you?" (Smiles)
Kaiba: "Yes. Yes I did."
Mystrana: "I'm so glad!" (Hugs him) "Now you're not going to be a pissy mood for the rest of the day!"
Kaiba: "Hey, what?"
Mystrana: "Darn it, I was wrong."
Kaiba: (Pulls out gun) "Yes. You are SO wrong."
Mystrana: "Eh heh . . . c'mon, at least let me send off the next guy on his date before killing me?"
Kaiba: "Eh, I feel like killing you now. I'm going to go kill someone else though, because you are not worthy of dying by my hand." (He leaves)
Mystrana: (Blinks)
Bakura: (Coming in) "Hey, I just heard Kaiba mutter about how he was going to kill Tea. Should I be worried?"
Mystrana: "Ummm, no. And you don't have anymore dates right now, so why are you here?"
Bakura: (Shrug) "Boredom."
Mystrana: "Oh, of course." (Pause) "Why don't you go torture people with Malik?"
Bakura: "I heard that Kaiba got a ton of chocolate syrup and whipped cream. I wanted to steal some."
Mystrana: (Shakes head sadly) "Right then." (Pause) "YAMI! You have yet another date!"
Yami: (Walks in) "Wow, I do?"
Bakura: (Grumble, grumble)
Mystrana: "Yup!" (Grins) "Now! Go and have fun! Or you won't get paid!"
Bakura: "Again with the getting paid! I haven't gotten any money yet!"
Mystrana: "Yeah, well, I haven't had a chance to use my ATM card."
Bakura: "You mean Kaiba's ATM card."
Mystrana: ". . . yeah."
~~~
(Meanwhile, Yami has gotten changed into black jeans and a dark red shirt. He goes up to the door, and knocks. A girl just about his height, maybe a little taller, with blonde hair and brown eyes answers the door, smiling)
Jewel: "Hello . . ." (She is wearing a dark blue short jean skirt and a dark blue shirt, with a jean jacket) "Come in."
Yami: "Ok."
Jewel: (Leads him to the kitchen) "Here, I thought we could get something to drink before going out."
(They both get a can of pop and sit down at the table)
Yami: "Thank you. By the way . . ." (Pause) "You look really nice."
Jewel: "Thank you."
Yami: (After sipping his pop) "So, what would you like to do today?"
Jewel: "Hmmmm, well, I don't know. . . we could just walk around . . ."
Yami: "Yeah . . . it's a really nice warm day today, so how about we go for a walk and then get ice cream?"
Jewel: "Hey, I like that idea. But aren't you going to burn up in your black pants?"
Yami: "Nah, I'll be fine."
(And so, they go outside, and walk into the conveniently located park)
Yami: "It is really nice out." (He holds Jewel's hand as the two of them walk through the park, going by the lake, etc)
Jewel: "Yeah, I'm really glad, because the weatherman said it was supposed to rain this morning, and I was so worried that it would."
Yami: "You know, I'd love to be the weatherman. You could predict whatever you want, and still get paid, even if you're wrong."
Jewel: (Laughs) "Now that would be an amusing job. Except for all the hate mail, of course."
Yami: "Yeah, no kidding. But if I were the weatherman, I'd make sure to predict temperatures just a bit below what it would be, so everyone will think it'll be cold, but they'll be warm. All the weathermen do is say its going to be warmer than it really is and then everyone gets cold."
Jewel: (Shakes her head, laughing) "That's so true."
Yami: (Smiles)
(They look over the lake; there is a nice breeze and they can smell the water)
Jewel: "It would be fun, though, to predict stuff. Not just the weather, but maybe you know, how a day is going to turn out or something like that."
Yami: "Yeah, I'd love to predict how the outcomes of all my duels would work out."
Jewel: (Laughs) "That's no mystery; you always win, don't you?"
Yami: (Laughs) "Yeah, except that time with Kaiba . . ." (Sigh)
Jewel: "Oh, don't feel bad. C'mon, let's go get ice cream and you'll cheer right up."
(So they walk to the nearby ice cream stand, and order ice cream cones. Jewel gets chocolate, and Yami gets vanilla.)
Jewel: (As they walk along the street, licking their ice cream) "Oooh, let's go window shopping."
Yami: (Shrugs) "Sure, why not?"
(They look in some of the windows of the shops, and stop by an electronics store that has a large ad for Duel Monster cards. Jewel notices there is a commercial being played on the TVs, so she and Yami watch it)
The Commercial:
Voiceover: "Do you ever find yourself getting angry over little things?
(There's a picture of a lady in the kitchen, putting dishes in the sink. Her husband sits in the living room)
Lady: "Honey, will you help me with the dishes?"
Husband: "Not again! You ask me this every night!" (He throws a chair at the wall, and knocks over the coffee table)
Voiceover: "Well, now you can get help! There's something new, called HappyhappyPills!"
(The husband is shown, smiling, and holding up a bottle of pills. Each pill has a smiley face on it)
Husband: (Large fake grin) "These pills have helped me control my anger!"
(Cut back to the scene with the lady in the kitchen)
Lady: "Honey, will you help me with the dishes?"
Husband: (Fake smile) "Certainly dear!"
Voiceover: "If it works for him, it will work for you." (VERY quietly) "Results definitely not guaranteed in any way, shape or form. Have a nice day."
The commercial is over.
Yami: (Blinks)
Jewel: (Blinks)
Yami: "Well, um, that was . . . weird."
Jewel: "Yeah. Let's go now, shall we?"
(They practically run off, and end back up at Jewel's house)
Yami: "Well, besides that screwed up commercial, I had a really good time. You're very nice."
Jewel: "As are you. And I'll hope that we can go for more walks some other day?"
Yami: "Sure." (he kisses her, and smiles)
~~~
Bakura: (Randomly lighting stuff on fire) "Gag me!"
Mystrana: "Oh, come on, was that not so kawaii?"
Bakura: "You and your overuse of the word kawaii."
Mystrana: "It's a good word."
Kaiba: (walks in) "What now?" (is covered in blood)
Mystrana: "Ummm, Kaiba? You're kinda covered in blood . . ."
Kaiba: "Yeah, I know."
Mystrana: "Oh, ok then. Just checking." (Sweatdrop)
Kaiba: "Hello Bakura."
Bakura: "Hello Kaiba."
(Long pause)
Mystrana: (brightly) "You know, when you two look at each other like that, it looks like you want to make out." (Innocent smile)
Kaiba: "!!!!"
Bakura: "How dare you!"
Mystrana: "Oh come on! Take a joke! Please?"
Kaiba and Bakura: (Glare)
Mystrana: "Eh heh . . . hey . . . Yami . . . you have another date now . . . and I've gotta run . . .again. . ." (Runs)
~~~
(And so, Yami gets to change his clothes yet again. ^^;;; Now he is wearing dark blue jeans and a white long sleeved t-shirt with a few belts on each arm)
Yami: (glaring at a map that Mystrana had given him) "I should have known one of these times she would mess me up." (Goes up to a random house and rings the doorbell. Some old guy answers it)
Guy: "Yeah?"
Yami: (Sweatdrop) "Does, um, Megami live here?"
Guy: "What?"
Yami: "On second though, never mind." (He runs far, far away, and tries another house. This time a girl with black hair and brown eyes answers the door)
Megami: "Hiya. You would have to be Yami!" (She glomps onto him) "Hey, wanna go see LOTR? It's in theatres, and it's early enough that there shouldn't be too many people there!"
Yami: "Hmmm, sure, why not? I've never seen it before, is it any good?"
Megami: (Nod nod nod) "Yeah! It rocks! There's this really cute elf and, oh, it's just great!" (She drags Yami off)
(And so they get to the movie theatre. Yami buys two tickets. Inside . . .)
Megami: (Still glomped onto Yami) "This is going to rock! Isn't it?"
Yami: (Shifts, and then smiles) "Yeah."
Megami: "Oh!! Let's get popcorn and pop and candy!" (She drags Yami to the counter)
Yami: (To himself) "Now, what did Yugi tell me about having too much sugar? Oh yeah, he said it caused a sugar high. Is that good or bad, I wonder?" (shrugs and buys pop, and popcorn, and candy)
(They both go into the theatre then, and get seats in the very back, because there aren't that many people there. Also, it's still kinda early. The previews and such haven't even started playing)
Megami: "I told you we'd get great seats! This rocks!"
Yami: (Munches on popcorn) "Yeah. Hopefully there won't be that many people in here."
Megami: "Yeah!"
(after a few minutes, the previews start playing and Megami starts commenting on them)
Megami: "That one will probably suck . . . ohh, I wanna see that one . . . and that one . . . but not that one . . . "
Yami: "Hmm, that one look pretty good."
Megami: "Can you take me to it someday?"
Yami: "When is it coming to theatre?"
Megami: (Waits for the end of the preview, and says) "A month from tomorrow."
Yami: "I'll keep that day open, then."
(The actual movie starts playing, so Yami and Megami start quieting down. Every now and then Megami sighs happily and glomps onto Yami. Yami eats his candy happily)
Megami: (Points to the screen) "This is the BEST part!"
Yami: "I don't get it, what's happening?"
Megami: "They're going to launch Gimli!"
Yami: "What?"
Megami: "You'll see!"
(The movie goes on, Gimli gets thrown, everyone laughs, etc)
Megami: "See!"
Yami: (Laughs. Quietly, of course, cos he's mindful of the other people)
(So anyway, after the movie is over, Megami and Yami head back home)
Yami: "So, did you have fun?"
Megami: "Yeah!" (Glomps onto him)
Yami: (Grins) "I'll make sure to call you about that other movie sometime."
Megami: (Grin) "Yeah, you'd better!"
(Yami and Megami kiss and then Yami leaves)
~~~
Bakura: (Lounging and drinking some iced tea) "Now, this rocks."
Kaiba: (Lounging next to him, drinking iced tea) "Yeah, this almost makes it all worth it."
Mystrana: (Grumble)
Bakura: "More iced tea!"
Mystrana: (Pours him some iced tea, grumbling) "How much longer do I have to do this?"
Kaiba: "Eh, until I get bored."
Bakura: "Yeah."
Mystrana: "Great, this is going to take a long time."
Kaiba: "Stop complaining and pour me iced tea!"
Mystrana: "Feh." (Does so) "Pour them iced tea or lose my life, what a choice. What a choice."
Kaiba/Bakura: (Grin)
Mystrana: "Oh yeah! Which reminds me! Next week, I'll put up the other dates people asked for! Then I want to try something. EVERYONE PAY ATTENTION! THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!!"
Kaiba: "Gee, what gave that away?"
-=-=-=-IMPORTANT=-=-=-=-Mystrana: "Not next week, but the week after, I'm going to hold a party! You guys can review and pick a Yu-gi-oh character to take you to it!!"
Kaiba/Bakura: (Pale)
Mystrana: "Now, you can still ask for dates, but if you want a YuGiOh character to take you to the dance, MAKE SURE TO SPECIFY, or it won't happen. K? And unlike the dates, the guys can only be taken once! Ja ne!"
Kaiba: "More iced tea!"
~~~
(Nanaki appears)
Nanaki: "It appears I have been elected to tell you guys a few things. First off, if your date wasn't this time, here's a list of dates coming up in the next installation:
Kurai will go out with Yami Malik
Ari will go out with Malik
Duet Maxwell will go out with Malik
Sunny will go out with Seto
Gina will go out with Yami."
(Nanaki pauses and then continues on)
"Remember to review and request a date to the party, but you have to say something like "I want (insert name) to take me to the party!" and then add descriptions and how you act at a party, etc, to make Mystrana's life easier."
(She goes off)

Mystrana: (Finally relaxing with a bottle of Ramune (Japanese soda)) "Yes, now that the guys have left for now I can relax!"
Kaiba: "Actually, I didn't leave."
Mystrana: "Do you ever?"
Kaiba: "No . . ."
Mystrana: (Finishes her Ramune and looks at the bottle quizzically) "So why do they put marbles in there anyway?"
Kaiba: "I think the marble is to keep it fresh and -"
Mystrana: (Cuts him off) "I think it's to prevent people from chugging the Ramune." (Turns the bottle upsidedown; the marble blocks the top of the bottle, so no liquid can get through)
Kaiba: "I think you're insane."
