Mystrana: "Ok, a few things to address! Whee, first off! Denise, I'd like
to be your email buddy, even if I don't have much to say usually =p Also,
thanks to everyone who reviewed! Sorry it got posted sooooo late today, but
at least it's still Sunday, right? (Nervous laughter)
~~~
Mystrana: (Happily) "I'm so glad you guys think that my party idea is a good idea!" (Dances around)
Kaiba: "Insane, bloody insane."
Bakura: "Yes, I quite agree."
Mystrana: (Squeal) "Whee! You're talking like brits!" (Hugs both of them tightly)
Kaiba: (Squished up against Bakura) "I think she's on a sugar high."
Bakura: (Squished up against Kaiba) "You THINK???"
Mystrana: (Stops hugging them and looks at the both of them) (Squeal) "You know what would be cute? If you two kissed!"
Kaiba: "Oh, great, she's going into a yaoi mood!"
Bakura: "Let's get her calmed down so she can remember this is a purely yaoi-free dating service."
Mystrana: (Jumping around in the background)
Kaiba/Bakura: (Sweatdrops) "Or not."
Mystrana: (Suddenly calms down) Ok, I'm better for now."
Kaiba/Bakura: (Sweatdrop)
Mystrana: "Oh, what's up you two? I was just on a sugar high, but I calmed down." (looks at the list in her hands) "Oh yea! It's time to do dates!"
Bakura: "Who, might I ask, is up first anyway?"
Mystrana: "Yami! Of course!"
Kaiba: (Grumble grumble) "Stupid Yami getting all the stupid dates."
Mystrana: "Ya know, hon, you've got a few dates too. Or two. Pocky!"
Bakura: (Sweatrop)
Mystrana: (At the absolute top of her lungs) YAMI! GET IN HERE NOW!" (Pause) "AND BRING MY CONTACTS WHILE YOU'RE AT IT!"
Kaiba: "You're going to wear contacts?"
Mystrana: (Nod) "Yup!"
Kaiba: (Falls over laughing) "You . . . wear contacts!" (Rolls around laughing)
Bakura: (Blink)
Yami: (Walks in) "Gee, thanks for breaking my eardrums!" (Notices Mystrana kicking Kaiba who is still laughing his head off) "I . . . um, brought you your contacts?"
Mystrana: (Instantly turns around) "Oh! Yay!" (Glomps onto him) "Thankies!"
Yami: (Blink) (Gasp for breath) "Can't . . . breathe . . ." (Gasp)
Mystrana: "Thankies again!" (Pulls out a mirror and sits down) "Whee!"
Kaiba: (Still laughing his head off)
Bakura: (Blink)
Yami: (Running as quickly as he can to get to his date)
~~~
(Yami runs for awhile, and then stops, takes a quick rest, and straightens his black dress pants and shirt before going up to the house and ringing the doorbell. A girl about his height answers)
Gina: (Wearing a lavender shirt and dress pants) "Hey Yami!" (She smiles brightly at him) "You look like you just ran a lot. . ."
Yami: "Don't ask." (Grins) "Trust me, you don't want to know."
Gina: "If you say so!" (She smiles again) "So, what should we do?"
Yami: "Well, what would you like to do?" (Looks thoughtful) "I really don't mind where we go, so you go ahead and pick."
Gina: "Hmmm . . ." (Pause) "How about going out to eat?"
Yami: "Hey, yeah, that sounds good." (Pause) "I know a restaurant, I think, that could be cool."
Gina: "Oh yeah?"
Yami: "Yeah, now I remember. It's just down the street some, and it's supposedly a pretty good restaurant."
Gina: "Hehe, as long as it's not that fancy, because I'm not that dressed up."
Yami: (Hesitantly, just a little bit) "No, you look fine."
Gina: (Smiles) "Thank you, you look great."
Yami: "Thanks."
(They go to the restaurant, which is a semi-formal place. Just a sit-down restaurant, but with a cool decorating style. There is lots of pine wood and forest green. It looks very nice)
Yami: "It's really nice here."
Gina: (Nods) (Joking sort of) "Kind of like you."
Yami: (Smiles)
(They get seated and get their menus and look over them)
Gina: "Hmmm, this looks like pretty decent restaurant."
Yami: "Yugi recommended it to me; he went here a few days ago, I think."
Gina: "Hehe, well, I like it. Be sure to thank him for me, ok?"
Yami: "Of course."
(The waitress comes)
Waitress: (Some what fancy like) "You guys ready to order?" (Not fancy like at all) "My name is Emily by the way, and I'm your waiter for today."
Yami: "Hello Emily. I'd like a chicken caesar salad."
Emily: "Make that two. And some coke please."
Yami: "Sprite for me."
Emily: "Right away." (She turns and leaves)
Yami: "Well, I think we should come back here some day."
Gina: "Yeah. It'll be great!"
Yami: "Hey, after this . . . instead of just going home . . ." (Pauses) "Would you like to go for a walk, maybe? Just a short one, even?"
Gina: (Smiles) "Of course!" (Hugs Yami)
(And so, they get their food and eat it. Yami looks really happy, and so does Gina. It's obvious they're having a great time, even if all they are doing is talking)
Yami: "Yeah, I'm really happy it hasn't started raining."
Gina: "Was it supposed to?"
Yami: "Yeah . . . but it didn't."
Gina: "Well, that's great. Hey, I know this sounds like a weird question, but what kind change do you keep?"
Yami: "Wait, what?"
Gina: "Change. Like quarters and stuff. What kind do you keep?"
Yami: "That is the weirdest question I've been asked in awhile . . . however, I keep quarters, dimes and sometimes nickels."
Gina: "No pennies?"
Yami: "Only if they're heads up . . ."
Gina: (Smiles) "So you're superstitious?"
Yami: (exaggerated shifty eyes) "No, no, of course not!" (He laughs) "No, just kidding. I am partly superstitious, but only with pennies because the day that I lost the duel with Kaiba, Yugi had picked up a penny that was tails side up." (Pause) "Did that make sense?"
Gina: "Yeah." (Laughs a little)
(They finish eating, and end up in the park, just sort of wandering around and talking together. As the sun starts to go down, they sit down to watch it a little)
Gina: "Thanks for taking me out tonight Yami, I had a lot of fun."
Yami: "You're welcome; I had fun too."
(They slowly move forward and gently kiss)
~~~
Mystrana: (Finally gets her contacts in)
Kaiba: (Gasp) "She actually did it! I think I'm going to faint!"
Mystrana: (Glares at Kaiba, and then pulls out a knife) "Don't make me go psycho kitty on you!"
Kaiba: (Blink blink) "O . . . kay . . . then. . ."
Mystrana: (Puts knife away and smiles largely) "Anyhow, you have a date! Go on, go! Have fun! Oh, and by the way, here's your pay for last week. Everyone else already got theirs."
Kaiba: "This is my money isn't it?"
Mystrana: "Oh, if you mean what I think you do, yeah, I got this money with your ATM card." (Smiles happily)
Kaiba: "Great. Just great."
Bakura: (Walks in) "She paid me extra!"
Kaiba: "What!?"
Bakura: "Well, yeah, she said she wanted to and . . ."
Kaiba: (Glares at Mystrana) "Why are you wasting MY money on him!!!'
Mystrana: "Oh, don't worry Kaiba! I can pay you extra too!"
Kaiba: "But this is my money to begin with! My money!"
Mystrana: "Yes, well, that's only a minor detail. Don't worry, hon." (Pause) "Oh, did I mention that you and Bakura have to help me set up the party next week?"
Bakura: "What? Why me?"
Mystrana: "Hey, when you stay around here, stuff like that happens. Deal." (Grin)
Bakura: (Groan)
Kaiba: "It's horrible, isn't it?" (Pause) "Actually, you get used to it after awhile."
Bakura: "You're kidding."
Kaiba: "Scary, isn't it?"
Mystrana: (Silent pouts) (Brightens up some) "Oh well, could be worse! Now go have fun Kaiba, or I'll kill you!"
Kaiba: (Blink blink) (Runs off)
Bakura: "I can get you an appointment with my psychologist. . .not that I see one or anything, of course . . ." (Shifty eyes)
~~~
Kaiba: (Finds the house and rings the doorbell) "I can't believe Mystrana sometimes." (Shakes head, but then someone answers the door. It is a girl, about two inches shorter then him, with green eyes and brown hair. She's smiling)
Sunny: "Hey . . ." (Smiles brightly)
Kaiba: "Hi . . . you would be Sunny, right?"
Sunny: "Hehe, yup!"
Kaiba: "Oh, then . . . well, where would you like to go?"
Sunny: "Oh, it really doesn't matter. Hey, how about we go to the mall? Maybe we can go shopping and get something to eat and maybe even see a movie or something?"
Kaiba: "Hmmm, well, I guess . . ." (Pause) "It's just that I don't go to the mall much, I stay at home and well . . . I don't know where a mall is nearby . . ."
Sunny: (Smiles) "Don't worry, I'll show you!" (She grabs his hand and leads the way to the mall)
(At the mall)
Sunny: "See, we're here!"
Kaiba: "It's very crowded, I see . . ." (Pause) "Can I hold your hand?"
Sunny: "Sure!" (Grabs his hand and smiles at him) "That way we won't get lost." (Grins)
Kaiba: (Smiles back)
(They start walking throughout the mall, just sort of strolling around and looking at everything, going into some stores)
Kaiba: (Sees a shop) "Hmmm . . . hey, could you wait here just a minute?"
Sunny: "Umm, sure, I guess." (She nods and Kaiba quickly walks off. He returns a few minutes later, holding something behind his back)
Kaiba: "What is your favorite color?"
Sunny: (Blinks at being asked a question like this, but then answers) "Well, I guess I like blue a lot . . . kinda the same blue as your eyes . . ." (Pauses, and then grins) "What about you? Why do you ask?"
Kaiba: "My favorite color is dark red . . . and why do I ask? To make sure you'll like this . . ." (He pulls the bag out from behind his back and presents it to Sunny)
Sunny: (Opens it, wide eyed. Inside is a necklace, a silver chain with a blue gem pendant. It looks very nice) (She blinks in amazement) "Wow . . this is . . . really nice . . ." (Pause) "Thank you." (She hugs Kaiba tightly)
Kaiba: "You're welcome." (He smiles and hugs back)
Some random guy: (Throws popcorn at Kaiba) "Get a room!"
Kaiba: (Glares at the guy and makes a mental note to have his hitman destroy that random guy later)
Sunny: "Hmm, Kaiba, what are you thinking?"
Kaiba: "Just making myself a mental note to have my hit man destroy that random guy later."
Sunny: (Sweatdrops and smiles) "Oh, of course!" (Sweatdrops again)
(Later, at the food court . . . Kaiba and Sunny are eating burgers and sharing their fries)
Sunny: "Thanks for getting me, well . . ." (Glances at the bags) "Everything you did. You got me so much stuff and I hardly got you anything."
Kaiba: (Smiling, but looking serious) "Don't get me wrong, I'm not a poet or a hopeless romantic, but I did get to spend the day with you, and well, it was really nice."
Sunny: (Blushes a little) "Oh, I had the greatest time here with you too!" (Hugs him, almost overturning the soda, but Kaiba pushes the soda out of the way and hugs back)
Kaiba: "I'm glad you had fun. Want to see a movie before we go back?"
Sunny: "Sure!"
(And so they end up seeing a movie. Near the end of the movie Sunny falls asleep lightly on Kaiba, and he looks at her and then smiles again, putting his arm gently around her)

Mystrana: "Now, see, wasn't that kawaii? Wasn't it? Wasn't it?" (Jumps around happily)
Bakura: "Get a hold on yourself, geez!"
Mystrana: "But it's so cute when people get along like that, and I like saying that, if you haven't noticed."
Bakura: (Grimace) "Believe me, I've noticed."
Mystrana: (Smiles) "Oh, hey, if I gave you the money, would you buy the stuff for the party for me?"
Bakura: (Raised eyebrow) "You would trust me to do that?"
Mystrana: (Thinks about it) "Hmmm, yeah."
Bakura: "You really are crazy."
Kaiba: (Walking in) "Tell me something I don't already know."
Mystrana: "So did you like your date? Did you???"
Kaiba: "Yeah, it was great."
Mystrana: "That's great!" (To herself, quietly) "And now he'll be in a better mood, too, so he won't be too pissed when he hears that I used his ATM card to pay for the party and my new karaoke machine . . ."
Kaiba: "Hmm, what was that?"
Mystrana: "Umm, nothing?"
Bakura: "Idiot."
Mystrana: "Hey, does that mean you'll get the stuff?"
Bakura: "Sure, but I'm dragging Kaiba with me."
Kaiba: "Dragging me where? And for what??"
Bakura: "Relax, we're just going get stuff for the party next week."
(They leave)
Mystrana: "Hmmm. . ." (Checks list) "Hey! Malik!"
Malik: (Slowly comes in) (suspiciously) "What?"
Mystrana: (Grins brightly) "You have a date!"
Malik: "With?"
Mystrana: "A girl . .. "
Malik: "Named?"
Mystrana: "Duet Maxwell. Now get going, or you'll be late! In which case, you can say I gave you direction that made you late but I really wish you'd save that for last resort type of thing? Ok? Ok!"
Malik: (Already long gone)
Mystrana: (Blink)
~~~
Malik: (Runs as fast as he can to the door, having changed into a black shirt and black pants . . . silk black pants, that is.) (Mutters, to himself) "Duet . . . Maxwell . . . why does that seem so familiar?" (Ponders this for a minute, before ringing the doorbell)
(A girl answers the door. She's fairly tall, with brown hair in a ponytail and blue eyes)
Duet: (Dressed in a black tank top and black jeans) "Hi Malik! I've been waiting for you . . . I hope you found the house ok?"
Malik: "Yeah . . ." (Glances at her outfit and grins) "I see we are dressed for each other."
Duet: (Grins) "Heh, yeah, so in honor of that . . . let's go celebrate!"
Malik: "Celebration for anything works for me. We could go . . . hmmm, where do you think?"
Duet: "Let's go out to eat and then watch a movie at my house! I can get stuff at the store on the way home from the restaurant, ok?"
Malik: "Yeah, sounds good to me."
(So they pick a restaurant, and go to it. Inside, it is brown and yellow, like sunflowers. The floors, walls, furniture, etc, is all dark brown, and the tablecloths and waiter outfits and stuff are yellow. Which would be why it was called the Sunflower.)
Duet: "Luckily, they don't just serve sunflower seeds here." (She laughs) "Can you imagine a chef coming out with a plate filled with sunflower seeds in the shape of a hamburger?"
Malik: (Finding that very amusing) "Or a steak. That would taste horrible! No blood, you know!" (He grins)
Duet: "Heh, I guess so." (The waitress comes)
Waitress: "Hi! I'm Emily! Are you guys ready to order?"
Malik: "Steak, of course, rare."
Duet: "And I'll be boring and have chicken."
Emily: "Right away." (Turns and leaves)
Malik: "Huh, I thought she worked someplace else. Once Yugi took all of us to a different restaurant and she worked there."
Duet: (Shrugs) "Maybe she got fired, or switched jobs?"
Malik: "Yeah, I guess so."
(There's a little bit of silence and then Malik breaks it)
Malik: "Hey, you know something? You remind me of someone, but I don't know who . . ."
Duet: (Laughs) "Do I now?"
Malik: "Yeah . . .do you have a brother or sister or something?"
Duet: (Laughs again) "Actually, yeah, I do have a brother . . . his name would be Duo Maxwell . . ."
Malik: "Duo Maxwell . . . oh, not that little brat! He tried to steal from me once, a year or two ago! Actually, he did steal from me. I never got it back! Gah, I'm going to kill him!"
Duet: (Laughs) "Calm down, some, you're going to give yourself a heart attack! If whatever he stole was that important, I'm sure I can get him to give it back."
Malik: (Pouts) "He's not around here, now, is he?" (Looks around suspiciously, but the only person around is Emily, who brings them their food)
Emily: "Here you go, guys." (Sets down food and turns to go away)
Malik: "Hey, wait just a second. Not to sound rude or anything, but didn't you used to work at that other restaurant?"
Emily: (Pauses ever so slightly) "Yes, but they fired me."
Malik: "Oh. I just wanted to know why they would do that . . . you're a good waitress."
Emily: (Another pause) "Well, some stuff just . . . didn't work out. Enjoy your meal." (She leaves)
Malik: (Blinks, and then turns to Duet) "I'm sorry for that, I just wanted to know."
Duet: "It's ok." (Grins) "I'll just invite Duo along for our next time out." (She grins even wider)
Malik: (Gasp) "You wouldn't dare!"
Duet: (Grins) "Try me!"
(And so, the eat, and then went back to Duets house, stopping at a conveniently located White Hen Pantry)
Malik: "Ok, let's take inventory. Candy?"
Duet: "Check."
Malik: "Soda?"
Duet: "Check."
Malik: "Cracker/cookie/sugary stuff?"
Duet: "Check, check, check!"
Malik: "We're set!"
Duet: (Grin) "We are on our way to sugar highs!"
(They pay for the candy, and go back to Duet's house, and get major sugar highs while watching the movie 'Ten Things I Hate About You.' Malik keeps making fun of it, and Duet, keeps saying it's a good movie, but that could have been the sugar high. Anyhow, near the end of the movie, Malik and Duet have finally calmed down from their sugar high and are cuddled up together)
Malik: "Well, this movie sucked, but sitting here with you is good."
Duet: "It's not . . . that . . .bad . . ." (Grins)
Malik: "Yeah. Right." (Grins) "But I should probably be going now. I'll call you later, ok?"
Duet: "Ok . . . "
(There's a small pause and then they kiss, before Malik leaves)
~~~
Mystrana: "Ooooh, so kawaii!" (looks around) "Oh, right, no one's here." (Ponders) "I wonder if they'll ever come back." (Pause) "Well, actually, Kaiba will have to . . . if he wants to get his ATM card back, of course."
Malik: (Saunters in, smirking)
Mystrana: "Well, I take it you had a good date?"
Malik: "Well, yeah. Except I want to beat the crap out of Duo now."
Mystrana: "Ack, not Duo! He's nice!"
Malik: (Scowl) "I can and will."
Mystrana: "Figures. Anyhow, call your yami out, you and him are going on a double date."
Malik: "Whatever."
(Marik appears)
Marik: "What now?"
Malik: "We're going out."
Marik: "No we're not. Did you ask me out? Did I get drunk and ask you out?"
Mystrana: (Sweatdrops) "No, no, Marik! You and Malik aren't going out with each other, you guys are going out with two other girls. Sisters, actually. Have fun!"
Marik: "Ja ne!" (disappears)
Malik: "What he said." (Disappears as well)
Mystrana: "And once again, silence reigns."
~~~
(Malik and Marik wander up the street, looking for the house)
Malik: (Wearing a black shirt and tan pants) "It's this one!"
Marik: (Wearing a tan shirt and black pants) "No way, it's this one!"
Malik: "This one!"
Marik: "Fine, it's that one. But we're trying this one first."
(They glare, and then walk up to the house and ring the doorbell. Two girls with brown hair and green eyes answer the door. They are obviously sisters)
Kurai: (Wearing a black leather miniskirt, red tank top and black shoes) "Marik!" (Glomps onto him)
Ari: (Wearing a black skirt and a green tank top and black shoes) "Malik!" (Glomps onto him)
Malik/Marik: (Gasp for breath)
Kurai: "So, what are we going to do today, Marik?"
Ari: "Yeah, what are we going to do, Malik?"
(They glomp on Marik and Malik again)
Malik: "Well, I was thinking . . . movies . . ."
Marik: "And I was thinking dancing!"
Ari/Kurai: (In perfect unison) "We'll do both!"
Kurai: "Just let me get my coat."
Ari: "That's my coat!"
Kurai: "No way!"
(They finally make it to the movies, but it's really crowded)
Malik: (Getting out Millennium rod) "I want to see the bloody movie, even if I have to be covered in blood to do so!"
Ari: (Sweatdrop) "Uh, I don't think they would let us in if you killed everyone . . ."
Malik: "But . . . I wanna see blood! I can't see my movie; someone must be punished!" (Gestures to all the people, many of whom are starting to look at Malik, scared like) "I want to see the damn movie!" (Brandishes Millennium Rod)
(Cut to the four of them sitting on the sidewalk, having just gotten thrown out of the movie theatre)
Manager: " . . . and never come back!!!!!" (Goes inside)
Marik: (Glares at Malik) "How dare you!"
Malik: "You would have done the same thing."
Kurai: "I would have done the same thing."
Ari: "I wouldn't have . . . but's it's ok Malik!" (she glomps on him)
Marik: "Well, I guess we should probably go dancing now . . ."
Kurai: "Yeah! That works for me!"
Ari: "Sounds good to me."
Malik: "Same."
(And so they find themselves outside of the dance club, which has the sign 'Yami No Tenshi' over it, and a picture of an angel in all black over it. The club on the inside is dark, but there is white light everywhere, and a definite theme of angels and darkness. It's pretty cool looking)
Marik: "I know everyone should like this place."
Kurai: (Grin) "Let's dance now!"
(They run off to dance)
Ari: "Hmmm, if you don't mind, I'd rather get something to drink first, and then dance?"
Malik: "Yeah, that would work for me, too." (They walk over to the counter and get some pop, and then sit down at a table, which is made from white wood with a black tablecloth over it)
Ari: "My sister is quite insane at times, but . . ."
Malik: "But that means she and Marik will get along great. And since I'm not as insane as my Yami, and you're not as insane as your sister . . ."
Ari: "That means we'll get along great too!"
Malik: "Yeah, I think it all works out for me."
(And so they sit and talk, and over where Marik and Ari are dancing . . . well, everyone is staying away from them in fear of getting hurt; they are dancing that wildly)
Ari: "This rocks!"
Marik: "You said it!"
(They continue to dance)
(And later, Ari and Malik dance some too, and eventually it begins to get pretty damn late, so they have to go back home)
Ari: (Looking kinda tired) "That was one of the best nights I've ever had."
Malik: "I'm glad you liked it." (Smirk)
Kurai: (Very tired) "My feet hurt from dancing so much!"
Marik: "Well, we can always go out next week . . ."
Kurai: "You bet!"
(They kiss briefly, and then, after a pause, Malik and Ari kiss too. And the Malik and Marik leave)
~~~
Mystrana: "That's so cute and it's so silent here! There's no one here to yell at me for saying Kawaii over and over! Kawaii!!"
Kaiba's voice: (From outside) "SHUT UP ALREADY!"
Bakura's voice: (from outside) "Yeah!"
Mystrana: (Sweatdrops) "It appears that they have returned." (Glances at the list) "Oh, good, just in time, too, seeing as Kaiba has another date." (Loudly) "Kaiba!"
Kaiba's voice: "What is it?"
Mystrana: "You have a date. In exactly five minutes, come to think of it."
Kaiba's voice: "Ack! I'm gonna be late!"
Bakura's voice: "Don't drop that! I won't be able to - - Hey, DON'T--!"
(There is a loud crash)
Bakura's voice: "DAMN YOU KAIBA!"
Kaiba's voice: "I'll be back! Much later!"
Bakura's voice: "Damn him!"
Mystrana: (Sweatdrops and goes outside to see) "What happened?"
Bakura: "Kaiba ran and dropped everything he was helping me carry, that stupid bastard."
Mystrana: "Oh, be a bit nice."
Bakura: "Why?"
Mystrana: "Because had your names been switched, you would have done the exact same thing, wouldn't you have?"
Bakura: (Shifty eyes)
Mystrana: "I rest my case." (Goes inside)
Bakura: "Hey! That's mean! Aren't you going to help me get this stuff inside?"
Mystrana: "Hmmm, no, not really. You're quite capable of doing it yourself, I'm sure."
Bakura: (Groans)
~~~
Kaiba: (Kinda out of breath from running. Oh, and somehow he has changed into a gray long sleeved shirt, and black leather pants) "I hope I'm not late . . . stupid limo being out of use!" (He runs up to the door and knocks on it. After a minute, a girl with long wavy brown hair and very green eyes opens the door.)
Denise: "Ummm, hi . . ." (She blushes a little) "Hi Kaiba."
Kaiba: "Hello, you would be Denise, right?"
Denise: (Nods)
Kaiba: "Would you like to have dinner?" (looks at the long sleeved, emerald green dress she is wearing) "You look lovely enough to go to any restaurant here in Tokyo."
Denise: (Blushes again) "Thank you."
(They end up going to the same sunflower restaurant that Malik had gone to)
Kaiba: "So, tell me, what do you like to do?"
Denise: "Well . . ." (Blushes) "I like to sing . . . and I know some Japanese . . ." (Quietly) "How about you?"
Kaiba: "Well, obviously, I have a huge business. I love to duel, and my favorite anime shows include Zoids and X."
Denise: "Zoids is a great show!" (pause) "I also like Yu Yu Hakusho . . . have you ever seen it?"
Kaiba: "Once or twice, I think. Isn't that the one with the guy in limbo?"
Denise: (Nods)
(The waitress comes over. It is, of course, Emily)
Emily: "Hello, would you two like to order?"
Kaiba: "I'll have the fish fillet . . . I heard it was excellent . . ."
Denise: (Quietly) "And I'll have a steak, medium."
Emily: "Alright then." (Walks off)
Kaiba: "Well, so you like anime . . . hmmm . . ." (Grins at her) "I'll get you to talk somehow."
Denise: (blushes again) "It's . . .just . . . " (Quietly) "I really like you, and . . . yeah . . ."
Kaiba: "Well, if you like anime, you have to like video games, right?" (Grin) "Right? So which do you like?"
Denise: (Pauses) "My favorite is Wild Arms 3 . . . and Kingdom Hearts . . ."
Kaiba: "Kingdom Hearts is pretty amusing . . ."
Denise: "Yeah, I really like the graphics for one thing, and even though the constant battle can be annoying and is different from, say, Final Fantasy games, it's still good." (Pauses, as if she's worried she said too much)
Kaiba: "No, don't worry; I totally agree. I don't like the constant battle, but you can run away from them much easier."
Denise: "Oh, and . . ."
(And so they talk, Denise becoming a lot more comfortable in Kaiba's presence. Emily comes and give them their food, smiling happily)
Kaiba: (Offhandly) "She's always smiling. I guess she's a good people person."
Denise: (Nods) "You have to be one to be a waitress . . ."
Kaiba: "Well, anyhow, on a different note, I remember seeing this one Anime show quite awhile ago . . . let's see if I can remember . . . oh yeah, it was called Sailor Moon. Don't laugh at me; I'm serious."
Denise: (laughs lightly, but not at Kaiba) "I see what you mean. I love Sailor Moon." (Pauses) "I actually . . . can sing a lot of the songs to it . . . the Japanese ones . . ."
Kaiba: "Seriously?" (Grins) "At one point I had watched a few episodes of the dub . . . it was something I never want to repeat, let me tell you that!"
Denise: (Laughs lightly again) "Oh, I believe you . . ." (Softly) "Later, if you'd like, I could sing for you. . ."
Kaiba: "That would be great."
(they finish eating, and Kaiba pays the bill. They walk around a little before coming to small area of benches. No one else is around, so Denise and Kaiba sit down)
Kaiba: "So, would you sing for me now?"
Denise: (Blushes again) "Ok . . . but promise not to laugh?"
Kaiba: "I promise."
Denise: (She starts singing quietly) "Fushigi anata to iru to naze . . .Toki ga yasashiku nagareru no . . ." (And she continues to sing)
Kaiba: (Amazed) "Wow . . ."
(Denise sings for a few minutes, and the stops, and looks at Kaiba)
Denise: "Was that ok?"
Kaiba: (Claps) "You're an amazing singing."
Denise: "Thank you." (She hugs him gently in thanks)
Kaiba: "You're welcome." (He kisses her on the cheek)

Mystrana: "More cuteness! I love this job! It's so nice to see happy endings!"
Bakura: "If you don't shut up, I can assure you that you won't have a happy ending to your live."
Mystrana: "Hmmm, empty threat."
Bakura: "What the hell do you mean?"
Mystrana: "You wouldn't REALLY kill me; you like me too much, you see."
Bakura: (Laughs)
Mystrana: "It's true."
Bakura: (Pulls out knife)
Mystrana: (Grins) "Go ahead, cut me. I like the taste of blood. Especially my own."
Bakura: "Well, so do I. But I prefer other people's blood."
Kaiba: (Walks in) (Says nothing)
Mystrana: "Hey Kaiba, aren't you supposed to say something along the lines of . . ." (Imitates his voice as best as she can) "Mystrana, quit pretending to be a vampire and Bakura, put the knife down!"
Bakura: "Yeah, something like that."
Kaiba: "Huh? Oh, right. Yeah, what you guys said."
Mystrana: "Ooooh, you had fun! See, I told you this was a great idea! Now you're all happy again!"
Kaiba: "Silence you."
Mystrana: "At least . . . you were."
Bakura: "Enough already, I want some blood!"
Mystrana: "Stupid person." (Checks her arm and finds a scab from when she fell down the other day) (Picks it off so her arm begins to bleed) "Go ahead, lick it off." (Smirk)
Kaiba: "You are . . . seriously scaring me."
Bakura: (Shrugs and licks it off)
Kaiba: "I'm even more scared."
Mystrana: (Shrugs) "It's what boredom does to you." (Pauses) "By the way, have you seen Joey? He and Bakura have dates in a little bit!" (Glares at Bakura) "And leave me with SOME of my blood for myself, will you?"
Kaiba: "Scary as it may sound, I'd rather go find Joey than stay here right now."
Joey: (Comes running in) "Hey! Did I miss something?"
Mystrana: "You have a date! Are you ready?"
Joey: (Glances at his clothes) "Yup, I put on a clean shirt today, so I'm good?"
Mystrana: "I'll sound like a mother, but, did you put on clean jeans, and, as perverted as it sounds, keep in mind I'm acting like a mother here, did you put on clean underwear?" (Shudders)
Joey: (Proudly) "Yup!"
Kaiba: "Mystrana, you are sick."
Mystrana: "I am not! I like acting like a mom. Which reminds me, did you get any sleep last night? You should take a nap!"
Kaiba: (blinks) "Having her blood sucked one moment, acting like a mom the next. My head hurts."
~~~
(Anyhow, Joey and Bakura have snuck out, knowing that it would be bad to stay around there any longer. Joey is wearing blue jeans and his blue and white shirt. Bakura has on black jeans, and his blue and white striped tank top, with the blue short sleeved shirt over it, unbuttoned. They make their way to the house, and ring the doorbell)
(A girl with black eyes and brown hair answers the door, dressed in a blue shirt and shorts)
Yami Mariana: "Bakura? What the hell are you doing here?" (Slams the door shut)
Bakura: (Blinks)
Joey: (Blinks as well) (Hesitantly rings the doorbell again)
(This time, a girl with many different shades of brown hair and brow eyes answers the door. She's dressed in a light blue shirt and shorts)
Mariana: "Joey!" (She hugs him) "How are you today?"
Joey: "I'm doing good. Uh, not ta be rude or anything, but who was the other person that answered the door?"
Mariana: "Ah, er, well, that was my Yami." (In a loud whisper) "She really likes Bakura, but pretends to hate him, so that's why I asked you to come too, Bakura. I have a plan."
Yami Mariana: "What are you guys talking about now?"
Mariana: "Just where we're going for our date . . ."
Yami Mariana: (Eyes narrow) "Wait, are you taking BOTH of them on the date?"
Mariana: "Well, I guess . . . but you could come if you want and have Bakura as your date . . ."
Yami Mariana: "Ok." (Quickly) "Not that I like him or anything, but I don't want people to think you're a slut or something."
Mariana: "Gee, thanks."
Bakura and Joey: (Exchange glances to the effect of 'they're quite crazy')
(Anyhow, somehow they end up at a restaurant. Yami Mariana goes to the bathroom, so Marian leans over towards Bakura and Joey)
Mariana: "Ok, here's the plan. Bakura, she really likes you. So what we're going to do is pretend we're on a double date, but really stay pretty separated. And what better way to do that then to get a hotel room for the night?"
Joey: "Whoa, are you kidding?"
Mariana: "Of course not!" (Calls the hotel right then and there and reserves two rooms) "This way, you know, she'll get to be with you, you know." (Pause) "And I get to be with Joey!" (Hugs him)
(And so, Yami Mariana comes back, not realizing she is being plotted against, so to speak. They all sit down to eat)
Joey: (Talking mostly to Mariana) "We could always duel sometime . . . I like practicing whenever I can . . . someday I'll beat even Yugi!"
Mariana: (Smiles at him) "Of course you will!"
Bakura: (Not talking much) "Well, umm, the food is good . . ."
Yami Mariana: "I noticed you got the steak. Do you like steak a lot?"
Bakura: "Actually, I like beef better."
Yami Mariana: (Says nothing, but stores away the information for later use)
(And so . . . dinners eaten, bills paid . . . the group ends up at the hotel)
Yami Mariana: (Wails) "You mean I have to spend the night with Bakura??"
Mariana: (Grins) "Yes."
(First, Joey and Mariana go into the first room. They are on the fifth floor)
Joey: "Wow, you can see a lot of stuff from here!"
Mariana: "I know, isn't it amazing? I really like you, you know, Joey."
Joey: "I know." (Hugs her and kisses her) "I really like you too."
(And then to Bakura and Yami Mariana)
Yami Mariana: (Sits on the bed, and looks at Bakura) "I hate you, leave me alone."
Bakura: (Goes to the sliding door thing, and stares outside) "Do you really?"
Yami Mariana: "Of course . . ." (Her voice breaks, but she composes herself) "I don't like you at all."
Bakura: (Still looking outside) "Hey, that's ok."
Yami Mariana: (says nothing)
(Back to Joey and Mariana)
Joey: "Well, what do ya say? Shall we get some sleep?"
Mariana: (Nods) "That way, we can wake up early and see the sunrise."
(They lie down and go to sleep. And in the room two doors down . . .)
Bakura: "Well, I guess . . . I'll just go then, if you really don't want me to stay." (He turns to go)
Yami Mariana: "No. Wait."
Bakura: (Doesn't turn around) "What?"
Yami Mariana: "Don't go." (Pause) "Please don't go."
Bakura: (Nods and sits down next to her) "Sorry."
(There's silence again, and then Yami Mariana gently hugs Bakura)
(The next morning, Joey wakes up and sees that Mariana is having a dream)
Mariana: (Talking in her sleep) "You stole the last chimichanga!"
Joey: (Sweatdrops and shakes Mariana to wake her up)
Mariana: (Gets up, still half asleep) "Did you steal it?"
Joey: "Eh heh, no, I didn't."
Mariana: "Oh! I'm sorry!" (Gets up) "Sometimes, you know, my dreams are like that."
Joey: "Yeah. C'mon, let's go see the sunrise!"
(They walk outside to watch, and Mariana glances over and sees the other balcony. Bakura is sitting with Yami Mariana, and the two of them are hugging each other gently. She smiled, before hugging Joey and watching the sky)

Mystrana: "Wow . . . that was the sappiest date every! But it was cute, wasn't it?"
Kaiba: "Hmmm."
Mystrana: "That's a yes, since usually you'd say no right away!"
Kaiba: "Well, it was rather touching, I suppose."
Mystrana: "Well, one more date for this week and then next week there will be a few dates and then the party!"
Kaiba: "Works for me. Who has the last date today?"
Mystrana: "Ryou."
(Ryou comes in)
Ryou: "I heard my name . . ."
Mystrana: "Yes, indeed you did!" (Hands him directions) "Go have fun on your date now!"
Ryou: (Blinks and leaves0
Kaiba: "Don't use the directions, under any circumstances!"
Mystrana: (Glares)
~~~
Ryou: (Dressed in khaki's and a blue shirt) "Well, I think Mystrana's directions are ok . . . this seems to be the house . . ." (he rings the doorbell and a tall girl with wavy brown hair and sea-green eyes answers the door)
Infiny: (Dressed in a black trenchcoat with a silver skirt and white tank top) "Hey! How you doing?"
Ryou: "I'm good. Ummm, so, ummm, yeah . . ."
Infiny: "Here, wanna come in for a little bit? Then maybe we could head down to the carnival?"
Ryou: "Oh, that will work out nicely."
Infiny: "Great, works for me! Come on, do you like Coke or Sprite?"
Ryou: "Sprite will be fine, thanks."
Infiny: "You don't need to be overly polite" (Grins in a friendly way, and hands him a can of sprite. After grabbing some pop for herself, the two of them go into the living room)
Ryou: "So you wanna go to the carnival then?"
Infiny: "Yup."
Ryou: "Ok."
Infiny: "You're very cute when you're nervous like that, you know." (Pause) "No offense meant."
Ryou: "Don't worry, none taken." (Smiles a little) "I guess I just get nervous sometimes . . ."
Infiny: "Well, don't worry about it! C'mon, let's go have fun!"
(So they go to the carnival. It's pretty decent, food wise, and they get some hot dogs to eat, but with the rides, it's not that great. Ryou and Infiny end up on the Ferris Wheel, which creaks a lot)
Ryou: (Nervously) "This seems pretty old . . ."
Infiny: "Eh, I'm sure it's fine. Cheap city just didn't want to pay for a nicer model, but they wouldn't dare rent something that could hurt people and get them sued."
Ryou: "Oh yeah, you're right." (Relaxes a little)
Infiny: "Of course I am!" (She leans over and hugs Ryou tightly, which causes the seat to move back and forth a lot, and Ryou tenses up again)
Ryou: "Sorry, I'm slightly scared of heights. This rusty old ferris wheel doesn't help."
Infiny: "Don't worry about it. You got on it in the first place, which is great."
Ryou: (To get his mind off the height) "Well, after this, we should go on the bumper cars. That's one thing they always get a decent set for, you know?"
Infiny: "Yeah!"
Ryou: "And I love bumper cars. How about you?"
Infiny: "Yeah, they rock. And you're right; the cheap city actually does go all-out on them, which is bloody amazing."
Ryou: (Laughs lightly) "Sorry for laughing, but it's just . . . well, it's a stupid reason, really, but usually I don't hear people saying 'bloody amazing' or anything like that, you know?"
Infiny: (Laughs) "I see what you mean!"
Ryou: (Goes to say something, and then pauses) "I, uhh, don't want to say this, but I think . . . we're stuck . . ."
Infiny: (Blinks, and looks down at the control panel, where the guy is holding a piece of the lever that works the machine and shrugging) "Well . . . this sucks . . . how cliché . . . but at least we're not at the very top."
Ryou: (trying to not get scared) "Yeah, we're on the second to the top one." (laughs nervously)
Infiny: "Don't worry Ryou! We'll be down in no time at all."
(A few minutes pass, and nothing happens)
Infiny: "Or not."
Ryou: "Well, it could be worse, I guess . . . but at this rate we're not going to get to go on the bumper cars . . ."
Infiny: (Laughs) "Too bad we don't have any hot dogs up here; we could have a picnic . . . great view, you know . . ."
Ryou: (Looks out) "Yeah . . . it's awesome . . ."
Infiny: (Grins and hugs Ryou) "Just like you!"
Ryou: (Blushes)
(Then, suddenly, the ferris wheel starts moving again, and Ryou and Infiny fall over, off-balance. When they get untangled from each other, the ferris wheel has stopped again, but this time so they can get off, which they do. They decide to skip the bumper cars and go straight home.)
Infiny: "Well, I'm sorry that that didn't work out as well as it could have, but I still had fun . . . I hope you did too?"
Ryou: "Yeah, I had a lot of fun. Thanks for putting up with me."
(They smile at each other and just sort of kiss before Ryou embarrassedly waves and goes off)

Mystrana: "and with a final 'KAWAII!', that is all of the dates for tonight."
Kaiba: "Who is this Emily person anyway?"
Mystrana: "Don't worry about it!"
Kaiba: "Silence you!"
Mystrana: "You asked me a question!"
Kaiba: " . . .no I didn't."
Bakura: "Idiot."
Kaiba: "Hey!"
Bakura: "Well, you are!"
Mystrana: "And you guys all suck. I'm going to bed." (Goes out)
Kaiba/Bakura: "Talk about mood swings)
Mystrana: (Pokes her head back in) "Night!" (Smiles) "Sweet dreams!" (Goes out again.)
Kaiba: "We NEED to get her on medication."
Bakura: "Not even Malik is as screwed up as she is, I think."
~~~
Nanaki: "Ummm, yeah, it's me again. Well, I'm too lazy to say much, but next week there are going to be some dates and then the party. Yup, that's about it. Ja ne."
~~~
Mystrana: (Happily) "I'm so glad you guys think that my party idea is a good idea!" (Dances around)
Kaiba: "Insane, bloody insane."
Bakura: "Yes, I quite agree."
Mystrana: (Squeal) "Whee! You're talking like brits!" (Hugs both of them tightly)
Kaiba: (Squished up against Bakura) "I think she's on a sugar high."
Bakura: (Squished up against Kaiba) "You THINK???"
Mystrana: (Stops hugging them and looks at the both of them) (Squeal) "You know what would be cute? If you two kissed!"
Kaiba: "Oh, great, she's going into a yaoi mood!"
Bakura: "Let's get her calmed down so she can remember this is a purely yaoi-free dating service."
Mystrana: (Jumping around in the background)
Kaiba/Bakura: (Sweatdrops) "Or not."
Mystrana: (Suddenly calms down) Ok, I'm better for now."
Kaiba/Bakura: (Sweatdrop)
Mystrana: "Oh, what's up you two? I was just on a sugar high, but I calmed down." (looks at the list in her hands) "Oh yea! It's time to do dates!"
Bakura: "Who, might I ask, is up first anyway?"
Mystrana: "Yami! Of course!"
Kaiba: (Grumble grumble) "Stupid Yami getting all the stupid dates."
Mystrana: "Ya know, hon, you've got a few dates too. Or two. Pocky!"
Bakura: (Sweatrop)
Mystrana: (At the absolute top of her lungs) YAMI! GET IN HERE NOW!" (Pause) "AND BRING MY CONTACTS WHILE YOU'RE AT IT!"
Kaiba: "You're going to wear contacts?"
Mystrana: (Nod) "Yup!"
Kaiba: (Falls over laughing) "You . . . wear contacts!" (Rolls around laughing)
Bakura: (Blink)
Yami: (Walks in) "Gee, thanks for breaking my eardrums!" (Notices Mystrana kicking Kaiba who is still laughing his head off) "I . . . um, brought you your contacts?"
Mystrana: (Instantly turns around) "Oh! Yay!" (Glomps onto him) "Thankies!"
Yami: (Blink) (Gasp for breath) "Can't . . . breathe . . ." (Gasp)
Mystrana: "Thankies again!" (Pulls out a mirror and sits down) "Whee!"
Kaiba: (Still laughing his head off)
Bakura: (Blink)
Yami: (Running as quickly as he can to get to his date)
~~~
(Yami runs for awhile, and then stops, takes a quick rest, and straightens his black dress pants and shirt before going up to the house and ringing the doorbell. A girl about his height answers)
Gina: (Wearing a lavender shirt and dress pants) "Hey Yami!" (She smiles brightly at him) "You look like you just ran a lot. . ."
Yami: "Don't ask." (Grins) "Trust me, you don't want to know."
Gina: "If you say so!" (She smiles again) "So, what should we do?"
Yami: "Well, what would you like to do?" (Looks thoughtful) "I really don't mind where we go, so you go ahead and pick."
Gina: "Hmmm . . ." (Pause) "How about going out to eat?"
Yami: "Hey, yeah, that sounds good." (Pause) "I know a restaurant, I think, that could be cool."
Gina: "Oh yeah?"
Yami: "Yeah, now I remember. It's just down the street some, and it's supposedly a pretty good restaurant."
Gina: "Hehe, as long as it's not that fancy, because I'm not that dressed up."
Yami: (Hesitantly, just a little bit) "No, you look fine."
Gina: (Smiles) "Thank you, you look great."
Yami: "Thanks."
(They go to the restaurant, which is a semi-formal place. Just a sit-down restaurant, but with a cool decorating style. There is lots of pine wood and forest green. It looks very nice)
Yami: "It's really nice here."
Gina: (Nods) (Joking sort of) "Kind of like you."
Yami: (Smiles)
(They get seated and get their menus and look over them)
Gina: "Hmmm, this looks like pretty decent restaurant."
Yami: "Yugi recommended it to me; he went here a few days ago, I think."
Gina: "Hehe, well, I like it. Be sure to thank him for me, ok?"
Yami: "Of course."
(The waitress comes)
Waitress: (Some what fancy like) "You guys ready to order?" (Not fancy like at all) "My name is Emily by the way, and I'm your waiter for today."
Yami: "Hello Emily. I'd like a chicken caesar salad."
Emily: "Make that two. And some coke please."
Yami: "Sprite for me."
Emily: "Right away." (She turns and leaves)
Yami: "Well, I think we should come back here some day."
Gina: "Yeah. It'll be great!"
Yami: "Hey, after this . . . instead of just going home . . ." (Pauses) "Would you like to go for a walk, maybe? Just a short one, even?"
Gina: (Smiles) "Of course!" (Hugs Yami)
(And so, they get their food and eat it. Yami looks really happy, and so does Gina. It's obvious they're having a great time, even if all they are doing is talking)
Yami: "Yeah, I'm really happy it hasn't started raining."
Gina: "Was it supposed to?"
Yami: "Yeah . . . but it didn't."
Gina: "Well, that's great. Hey, I know this sounds like a weird question, but what kind change do you keep?"
Yami: "Wait, what?"
Gina: "Change. Like quarters and stuff. What kind do you keep?"
Yami: "That is the weirdest question I've been asked in awhile . . . however, I keep quarters, dimes and sometimes nickels."
Gina: "No pennies?"
Yami: "Only if they're heads up . . ."
Gina: (Smiles) "So you're superstitious?"
Yami: (exaggerated shifty eyes) "No, no, of course not!" (He laughs) "No, just kidding. I am partly superstitious, but only with pennies because the day that I lost the duel with Kaiba, Yugi had picked up a penny that was tails side up." (Pause) "Did that make sense?"
Gina: "Yeah." (Laughs a little)
(They finish eating, and end up in the park, just sort of wandering around and talking together. As the sun starts to go down, they sit down to watch it a little)
Gina: "Thanks for taking me out tonight Yami, I had a lot of fun."
Yami: "You're welcome; I had fun too."
(They slowly move forward and gently kiss)
~~~
Mystrana: (Finally gets her contacts in)
Kaiba: (Gasp) "She actually did it! I think I'm going to faint!"
Mystrana: (Glares at Kaiba, and then pulls out a knife) "Don't make me go psycho kitty on you!"
Kaiba: (Blink blink) "O . . . kay . . . then. . ."
Mystrana: (Puts knife away and smiles largely) "Anyhow, you have a date! Go on, go! Have fun! Oh, and by the way, here's your pay for last week. Everyone else already got theirs."
Kaiba: "This is my money isn't it?"
Mystrana: "Oh, if you mean what I think you do, yeah, I got this money with your ATM card." (Smiles happily)
Kaiba: "Great. Just great."
Bakura: (Walks in) "She paid me extra!"
Kaiba: "What!?"
Bakura: "Well, yeah, she said she wanted to and . . ."
Kaiba: (Glares at Mystrana) "Why are you wasting MY money on him!!!'
Mystrana: "Oh, don't worry Kaiba! I can pay you extra too!"
Kaiba: "But this is my money to begin with! My money!"
Mystrana: "Yes, well, that's only a minor detail. Don't worry, hon." (Pause) "Oh, did I mention that you and Bakura have to help me set up the party next week?"
Bakura: "What? Why me?"
Mystrana: "Hey, when you stay around here, stuff like that happens. Deal." (Grin)
Bakura: (Groan)
Kaiba: "It's horrible, isn't it?" (Pause) "Actually, you get used to it after awhile."
Bakura: "You're kidding."
Kaiba: "Scary, isn't it?"
Mystrana: (Silent pouts) (Brightens up some) "Oh well, could be worse! Now go have fun Kaiba, or I'll kill you!"
Kaiba: (Blink blink) (Runs off)
Bakura: "I can get you an appointment with my psychologist. . .not that I see one or anything, of course . . ." (Shifty eyes)
~~~
Kaiba: (Finds the house and rings the doorbell) "I can't believe Mystrana sometimes." (Shakes head, but then someone answers the door. It is a girl, about two inches shorter then him, with green eyes and brown hair. She's smiling)
Sunny: "Hey . . ." (Smiles brightly)
Kaiba: "Hi . . . you would be Sunny, right?"
Sunny: "Hehe, yup!"
Kaiba: "Oh, then . . . well, where would you like to go?"
Sunny: "Oh, it really doesn't matter. Hey, how about we go to the mall? Maybe we can go shopping and get something to eat and maybe even see a movie or something?"
Kaiba: "Hmmm, well, I guess . . ." (Pause) "It's just that I don't go to the mall much, I stay at home and well . . . I don't know where a mall is nearby . . ."
Sunny: (Smiles) "Don't worry, I'll show you!" (She grabs his hand and leads the way to the mall)
(At the mall)
Sunny: "See, we're here!"
Kaiba: "It's very crowded, I see . . ." (Pause) "Can I hold your hand?"
Sunny: "Sure!" (Grabs his hand and smiles at him) "That way we won't get lost." (Grins)
Kaiba: (Smiles back)
(They start walking throughout the mall, just sort of strolling around and looking at everything, going into some stores)
Kaiba: (Sees a shop) "Hmmm . . . hey, could you wait here just a minute?"
Sunny: "Umm, sure, I guess." (She nods and Kaiba quickly walks off. He returns a few minutes later, holding something behind his back)
Kaiba: "What is your favorite color?"
Sunny: (Blinks at being asked a question like this, but then answers) "Well, I guess I like blue a lot . . . kinda the same blue as your eyes . . ." (Pauses, and then grins) "What about you? Why do you ask?"
Kaiba: "My favorite color is dark red . . . and why do I ask? To make sure you'll like this . . ." (He pulls the bag out from behind his back and presents it to Sunny)
Sunny: (Opens it, wide eyed. Inside is a necklace, a silver chain with a blue gem pendant. It looks very nice) (She blinks in amazement) "Wow . . this is . . . really nice . . ." (Pause) "Thank you." (She hugs Kaiba tightly)
Kaiba: "You're welcome." (He smiles and hugs back)
Some random guy: (Throws popcorn at Kaiba) "Get a room!"
Kaiba: (Glares at the guy and makes a mental note to have his hitman destroy that random guy later)
Sunny: "Hmm, Kaiba, what are you thinking?"
Kaiba: "Just making myself a mental note to have my hit man destroy that random guy later."
Sunny: (Sweatdrops and smiles) "Oh, of course!" (Sweatdrops again)
(Later, at the food court . . . Kaiba and Sunny are eating burgers and sharing their fries)
Sunny: "Thanks for getting me, well . . ." (Glances at the bags) "Everything you did. You got me so much stuff and I hardly got you anything."
Kaiba: (Smiling, but looking serious) "Don't get me wrong, I'm not a poet or a hopeless romantic, but I did get to spend the day with you, and well, it was really nice."
Sunny: (Blushes a little) "Oh, I had the greatest time here with you too!" (Hugs him, almost overturning the soda, but Kaiba pushes the soda out of the way and hugs back)
Kaiba: "I'm glad you had fun. Want to see a movie before we go back?"
Sunny: "Sure!"
(And so they end up seeing a movie. Near the end of the movie Sunny falls asleep lightly on Kaiba, and he looks at her and then smiles again, putting his arm gently around her)
~~~
Mystrana: "Now, see, wasn't that kawaii? Wasn't it? Wasn't it?" (Jumps around happily)
Bakura: "Get a hold on yourself, geez!"
Mystrana: "But it's so cute when people get along like that, and I like saying that, if you haven't noticed."
Bakura: (Grimace) "Believe me, I've noticed."
Mystrana: (Smiles) "Oh, hey, if I gave you the money, would you buy the stuff for the party for me?"
Bakura: (Raised eyebrow) "You would trust me to do that?"
Mystrana: (Thinks about it) "Hmmm, yeah."
Bakura: "You really are crazy."
Kaiba: (Walking in) "Tell me something I don't already know."
Mystrana: "So did you like your date? Did you???"
Kaiba: "Yeah, it was great."
Mystrana: "That's great!" (To herself, quietly) "And now he'll be in a better mood, too, so he won't be too pissed when he hears that I used his ATM card to pay for the party and my new karaoke machine . . ."
Kaiba: "Hmm, what was that?"
Mystrana: "Umm, nothing?"
Bakura: "Idiot."
Mystrana: "Hey, does that mean you'll get the stuff?"
Bakura: "Sure, but I'm dragging Kaiba with me."
Kaiba: "Dragging me where? And for what??"
Bakura: "Relax, we're just going get stuff for the party next week."
(They leave)
Mystrana: "Hmmm. . ." (Checks list) "Hey! Malik!"
Malik: (Slowly comes in) (suspiciously) "What?"
Mystrana: (Grins brightly) "You have a date!"
Malik: "With?"
Mystrana: "A girl . .. "
Malik: "Named?"
Mystrana: "Duet Maxwell. Now get going, or you'll be late! In which case, you can say I gave you direction that made you late but I really wish you'd save that for last resort type of thing? Ok? Ok!"
Malik: (Already long gone)
Mystrana: (Blink)
~~~
Malik: (Runs as fast as he can to the door, having changed into a black shirt and black pants . . . silk black pants, that is.) (Mutters, to himself) "Duet . . . Maxwell . . . why does that seem so familiar?" (Ponders this for a minute, before ringing the doorbell)
(A girl answers the door. She's fairly tall, with brown hair in a ponytail and blue eyes)
Duet: (Dressed in a black tank top and black jeans) "Hi Malik! I've been waiting for you . . . I hope you found the house ok?"
Malik: "Yeah . . ." (Glances at her outfit and grins) "I see we are dressed for each other."
Duet: (Grins) "Heh, yeah, so in honor of that . . . let's go celebrate!"
Malik: "Celebration for anything works for me. We could go . . . hmmm, where do you think?"
Duet: "Let's go out to eat and then watch a movie at my house! I can get stuff at the store on the way home from the restaurant, ok?"
Malik: "Yeah, sounds good to me."
(So they pick a restaurant, and go to it. Inside, it is brown and yellow, like sunflowers. The floors, walls, furniture, etc, is all dark brown, and the tablecloths and waiter outfits and stuff are yellow. Which would be why it was called the Sunflower.)
Duet: "Luckily, they don't just serve sunflower seeds here." (She laughs) "Can you imagine a chef coming out with a plate filled with sunflower seeds in the shape of a hamburger?"
Malik: (Finding that very amusing) "Or a steak. That would taste horrible! No blood, you know!" (He grins)
Duet: "Heh, I guess so." (The waitress comes)
Waitress: "Hi! I'm Emily! Are you guys ready to order?"
Malik: "Steak, of course, rare."
Duet: "And I'll be boring and have chicken."
Emily: "Right away." (Turns and leaves)
Malik: "Huh, I thought she worked someplace else. Once Yugi took all of us to a different restaurant and she worked there."
Duet: (Shrugs) "Maybe she got fired, or switched jobs?"
Malik: "Yeah, I guess so."
(There's a little bit of silence and then Malik breaks it)
Malik: "Hey, you know something? You remind me of someone, but I don't know who . . ."
Duet: (Laughs) "Do I now?"
Malik: "Yeah . . .do you have a brother or sister or something?"
Duet: (Laughs again) "Actually, yeah, I do have a brother . . . his name would be Duo Maxwell . . ."
Malik: "Duo Maxwell . . . oh, not that little brat! He tried to steal from me once, a year or two ago! Actually, he did steal from me. I never got it back! Gah, I'm going to kill him!"
Duet: (Laughs) "Calm down, some, you're going to give yourself a heart attack! If whatever he stole was that important, I'm sure I can get him to give it back."
Malik: (Pouts) "He's not around here, now, is he?" (Looks around suspiciously, but the only person around is Emily, who brings them their food)
Emily: "Here you go, guys." (Sets down food and turns to go away)
Malik: "Hey, wait just a second. Not to sound rude or anything, but didn't you used to work at that other restaurant?"
Emily: (Pauses ever so slightly) "Yes, but they fired me."
Malik: "Oh. I just wanted to know why they would do that . . . you're a good waitress."
Emily: (Another pause) "Well, some stuff just . . . didn't work out. Enjoy your meal." (She leaves)
Malik: (Blinks, and then turns to Duet) "I'm sorry for that, I just wanted to know."
Duet: "It's ok." (Grins) "I'll just invite Duo along for our next time out." (She grins even wider)
Malik: (Gasp) "You wouldn't dare!"
Duet: (Grins) "Try me!"
(And so, the eat, and then went back to Duets house, stopping at a conveniently located White Hen Pantry)
Malik: "Ok, let's take inventory. Candy?"
Duet: "Check."
Malik: "Soda?"
Duet: "Check."
Malik: "Cracker/cookie/sugary stuff?"
Duet: "Check, check, check!"
Malik: "We're set!"
Duet: (Grin) "We are on our way to sugar highs!"
(They pay for the candy, and go back to Duet's house, and get major sugar highs while watching the movie 'Ten Things I Hate About You.' Malik keeps making fun of it, and Duet, keeps saying it's a good movie, but that could have been the sugar high. Anyhow, near the end of the movie, Malik and Duet have finally calmed down from their sugar high and are cuddled up together)
Malik: "Well, this movie sucked, but sitting here with you is good."
Duet: "It's not . . . that . . .bad . . ." (Grins)
Malik: "Yeah. Right." (Grins) "But I should probably be going now. I'll call you later, ok?"
Duet: "Ok . . . "
(There's a small pause and then they kiss, before Malik leaves)
~~~
Mystrana: "Ooooh, so kawaii!" (looks around) "Oh, right, no one's here." (Ponders) "I wonder if they'll ever come back." (Pause) "Well, actually, Kaiba will have to . . . if he wants to get his ATM card back, of course."
Malik: (Saunters in, smirking)
Mystrana: "Well, I take it you had a good date?"
Malik: "Well, yeah. Except I want to beat the crap out of Duo now."
Mystrana: "Ack, not Duo! He's nice!"
Malik: (Scowl) "I can and will."
Mystrana: "Figures. Anyhow, call your yami out, you and him are going on a double date."
Malik: "Whatever."
(Marik appears)
Marik: "What now?"
Malik: "We're going out."
Marik: "No we're not. Did you ask me out? Did I get drunk and ask you out?"
Mystrana: (Sweatdrops) "No, no, Marik! You and Malik aren't going out with each other, you guys are going out with two other girls. Sisters, actually. Have fun!"
Marik: "Ja ne!" (disappears)
Malik: "What he said." (Disappears as well)
Mystrana: "And once again, silence reigns."
~~~
(Malik and Marik wander up the street, looking for the house)
Malik: (Wearing a black shirt and tan pants) "It's this one!"
Marik: (Wearing a tan shirt and black pants) "No way, it's this one!"
Malik: "This one!"
Marik: "Fine, it's that one. But we're trying this one first."
(They glare, and then walk up to the house and ring the doorbell. Two girls with brown hair and green eyes answer the door. They are obviously sisters)
Kurai: (Wearing a black leather miniskirt, red tank top and black shoes) "Marik!" (Glomps onto him)
Ari: (Wearing a black skirt and a green tank top and black shoes) "Malik!" (Glomps onto him)
Malik/Marik: (Gasp for breath)
Kurai: "So, what are we going to do today, Marik?"
Ari: "Yeah, what are we going to do, Malik?"
(They glomp on Marik and Malik again)
Malik: "Well, I was thinking . . . movies . . ."
Marik: "And I was thinking dancing!"
Ari/Kurai: (In perfect unison) "We'll do both!"
Kurai: "Just let me get my coat."
Ari: "That's my coat!"
Kurai: "No way!"
(They finally make it to the movies, but it's really crowded)
Malik: (Getting out Millennium rod) "I want to see the bloody movie, even if I have to be covered in blood to do so!"
Ari: (Sweatdrop) "Uh, I don't think they would let us in if you killed everyone . . ."
Malik: "But . . . I wanna see blood! I can't see my movie; someone must be punished!" (Gestures to all the people, many of whom are starting to look at Malik, scared like) "I want to see the damn movie!" (Brandishes Millennium Rod)
(Cut to the four of them sitting on the sidewalk, having just gotten thrown out of the movie theatre)
Manager: " . . . and never come back!!!!!" (Goes inside)
Marik: (Glares at Malik) "How dare you!"
Malik: "You would have done the same thing."
Kurai: "I would have done the same thing."
Ari: "I wouldn't have . . . but's it's ok Malik!" (she glomps on him)
Marik: "Well, I guess we should probably go dancing now . . ."
Kurai: "Yeah! That works for me!"
Ari: "Sounds good to me."
Malik: "Same."
(And so they find themselves outside of the dance club, which has the sign 'Yami No Tenshi' over it, and a picture of an angel in all black over it. The club on the inside is dark, but there is white light everywhere, and a definite theme of angels and darkness. It's pretty cool looking)
Marik: "I know everyone should like this place."
Kurai: (Grin) "Let's dance now!"
(They run off to dance)
Ari: "Hmmm, if you don't mind, I'd rather get something to drink first, and then dance?"
Malik: "Yeah, that would work for me, too." (They walk over to the counter and get some pop, and then sit down at a table, which is made from white wood with a black tablecloth over it)
Ari: "My sister is quite insane at times, but . . ."
Malik: "But that means she and Marik will get along great. And since I'm not as insane as my Yami, and you're not as insane as your sister . . ."
Ari: "That means we'll get along great too!"
Malik: "Yeah, I think it all works out for me."
(And so they sit and talk, and over where Marik and Ari are dancing . . . well, everyone is staying away from them in fear of getting hurt; they are dancing that wildly)
Ari: "This rocks!"
Marik: "You said it!"
(They continue to dance)
(And later, Ari and Malik dance some too, and eventually it begins to get pretty damn late, so they have to go back home)
Ari: (Looking kinda tired) "That was one of the best nights I've ever had."
Malik: "I'm glad you liked it." (Smirk)
Kurai: (Very tired) "My feet hurt from dancing so much!"
Marik: "Well, we can always go out next week . . ."
Kurai: "You bet!"
(They kiss briefly, and then, after a pause, Malik and Ari kiss too. And the Malik and Marik leave)
~~~
Mystrana: "That's so cute and it's so silent here! There's no one here to yell at me for saying Kawaii over and over! Kawaii!!"
Kaiba's voice: (From outside) "SHUT UP ALREADY!"
Bakura's voice: (from outside) "Yeah!"
Mystrana: (Sweatdrops) "It appears that they have returned." (Glances at the list) "Oh, good, just in time, too, seeing as Kaiba has another date." (Loudly) "Kaiba!"
Kaiba's voice: "What is it?"
Mystrana: "You have a date. In exactly five minutes, come to think of it."
Kaiba's voice: "Ack! I'm gonna be late!"
Bakura's voice: "Don't drop that! I won't be able to - - Hey, DON'T--!"
(There is a loud crash)
Bakura's voice: "DAMN YOU KAIBA!"
Kaiba's voice: "I'll be back! Much later!"
Bakura's voice: "Damn him!"
Mystrana: (Sweatdrops and goes outside to see) "What happened?"
Bakura: "Kaiba ran and dropped everything he was helping me carry, that stupid bastard."
Mystrana: "Oh, be a bit nice."
Bakura: "Why?"
Mystrana: "Because had your names been switched, you would have done the exact same thing, wouldn't you have?"
Bakura: (Shifty eyes)
Mystrana: "I rest my case." (Goes inside)
Bakura: "Hey! That's mean! Aren't you going to help me get this stuff inside?"
Mystrana: "Hmmm, no, not really. You're quite capable of doing it yourself, I'm sure."
Bakura: (Groans)
~~~
Kaiba: (Kinda out of breath from running. Oh, and somehow he has changed into a gray long sleeved shirt, and black leather pants) "I hope I'm not late . . . stupid limo being out of use!" (He runs up to the door and knocks on it. After a minute, a girl with long wavy brown hair and very green eyes opens the door.)
Denise: "Ummm, hi . . ." (She blushes a little) "Hi Kaiba."
Kaiba: "Hello, you would be Denise, right?"
Denise: (Nods)
Kaiba: "Would you like to have dinner?" (looks at the long sleeved, emerald green dress she is wearing) "You look lovely enough to go to any restaurant here in Tokyo."
Denise: (Blushes again) "Thank you."
(They end up going to the same sunflower restaurant that Malik had gone to)
Kaiba: "So, tell me, what do you like to do?"
Denise: "Well . . ." (Blushes) "I like to sing . . . and I know some Japanese . . ." (Quietly) "How about you?"
Kaiba: "Well, obviously, I have a huge business. I love to duel, and my favorite anime shows include Zoids and X."
Denise: "Zoids is a great show!" (pause) "I also like Yu Yu Hakusho . . . have you ever seen it?"
Kaiba: "Once or twice, I think. Isn't that the one with the guy in limbo?"
Denise: (Nods)
(The waitress comes over. It is, of course, Emily)
Emily: "Hello, would you two like to order?"
Kaiba: "I'll have the fish fillet . . . I heard it was excellent . . ."
Denise: (Quietly) "And I'll have a steak, medium."
Emily: "Alright then." (Walks off)
Kaiba: "Well, so you like anime . . . hmmm . . ." (Grins at her) "I'll get you to talk somehow."
Denise: (blushes again) "It's . . .just . . . " (Quietly) "I really like you, and . . . yeah . . ."
Kaiba: "Well, if you like anime, you have to like video games, right?" (Grin) "Right? So which do you like?"
Denise: (Pauses) "My favorite is Wild Arms 3 . . . and Kingdom Hearts . . ."
Kaiba: "Kingdom Hearts is pretty amusing . . ."
Denise: "Yeah, I really like the graphics for one thing, and even though the constant battle can be annoying and is different from, say, Final Fantasy games, it's still good." (Pauses, as if she's worried she said too much)
Kaiba: "No, don't worry; I totally agree. I don't like the constant battle, but you can run away from them much easier."
Denise: "Oh, and . . ."
(And so they talk, Denise becoming a lot more comfortable in Kaiba's presence. Emily comes and give them their food, smiling happily)
Kaiba: (Offhandly) "She's always smiling. I guess she's a good people person."
Denise: (Nods) "You have to be one to be a waitress . . ."
Kaiba: "Well, anyhow, on a different note, I remember seeing this one Anime show quite awhile ago . . . let's see if I can remember . . . oh yeah, it was called Sailor Moon. Don't laugh at me; I'm serious."
Denise: (laughs lightly, but not at Kaiba) "I see what you mean. I love Sailor Moon." (Pauses) "I actually . . . can sing a lot of the songs to it . . . the Japanese ones . . ."
Kaiba: "Seriously?" (Grins) "At one point I had watched a few episodes of the dub . . . it was something I never want to repeat, let me tell you that!"
Denise: (Laughs lightly again) "Oh, I believe you . . ." (Softly) "Later, if you'd like, I could sing for you. . ."
Kaiba: "That would be great."
(they finish eating, and Kaiba pays the bill. They walk around a little before coming to small area of benches. No one else is around, so Denise and Kaiba sit down)
Kaiba: "So, would you sing for me now?"
Denise: (Blushes again) "Ok . . . but promise not to laugh?"
Kaiba: "I promise."
Denise: (She starts singing quietly) "Fushigi anata to iru to naze . . .Toki ga yasashiku nagareru no . . ." (And she continues to sing)
Kaiba: (Amazed) "Wow . . ."
(Denise sings for a few minutes, and the stops, and looks at Kaiba)
Denise: "Was that ok?"
Kaiba: (Claps) "You're an amazing singing."
Denise: "Thank you." (She hugs him gently in thanks)
Kaiba: "You're welcome." (He kisses her on the cheek)
~~~
Mystrana: "More cuteness! I love this job! It's so nice to see happy endings!"
Bakura: "If you don't shut up, I can assure you that you won't have a happy ending to your live."
Mystrana: "Hmmm, empty threat."
Bakura: "What the hell do you mean?"
Mystrana: "You wouldn't REALLY kill me; you like me too much, you see."
Bakura: (Laughs)
Mystrana: "It's true."
Bakura: (Pulls out knife)
Mystrana: (Grins) "Go ahead, cut me. I like the taste of blood. Especially my own."
Bakura: "Well, so do I. But I prefer other people's blood."
Kaiba: (Walks in) (Says nothing)
Mystrana: "Hey Kaiba, aren't you supposed to say something along the lines of . . ." (Imitates his voice as best as she can) "Mystrana, quit pretending to be a vampire and Bakura, put the knife down!"
Bakura: "Yeah, something like that."
Kaiba: "Huh? Oh, right. Yeah, what you guys said."
Mystrana: "Ooooh, you had fun! See, I told you this was a great idea! Now you're all happy again!"
Kaiba: "Silence you."
Mystrana: "At least . . . you were."
Bakura: "Enough already, I want some blood!"
Mystrana: "Stupid person." (Checks her arm and finds a scab from when she fell down the other day) (Picks it off so her arm begins to bleed) "Go ahead, lick it off." (Smirk)
Kaiba: "You are . . . seriously scaring me."
Bakura: (Shrugs and licks it off)
Kaiba: "I'm even more scared."
Mystrana: (Shrugs) "It's what boredom does to you." (Pauses) "By the way, have you seen Joey? He and Bakura have dates in a little bit!" (Glares at Bakura) "And leave me with SOME of my blood for myself, will you?"
Kaiba: "Scary as it may sound, I'd rather go find Joey than stay here right now."
Joey: (Comes running in) "Hey! Did I miss something?"
Mystrana: "You have a date! Are you ready?"
Joey: (Glances at his clothes) "Yup, I put on a clean shirt today, so I'm good?"
Mystrana: "I'll sound like a mother, but, did you put on clean jeans, and, as perverted as it sounds, keep in mind I'm acting like a mother here, did you put on clean underwear?" (Shudders)
Joey: (Proudly) "Yup!"
Kaiba: "Mystrana, you are sick."
Mystrana: "I am not! I like acting like a mom. Which reminds me, did you get any sleep last night? You should take a nap!"
Kaiba: (blinks) "Having her blood sucked one moment, acting like a mom the next. My head hurts."
~~~
(Anyhow, Joey and Bakura have snuck out, knowing that it would be bad to stay around there any longer. Joey is wearing blue jeans and his blue and white shirt. Bakura has on black jeans, and his blue and white striped tank top, with the blue short sleeved shirt over it, unbuttoned. They make their way to the house, and ring the doorbell)
(A girl with black eyes and brown hair answers the door, dressed in a blue shirt and shorts)
Yami Mariana: "Bakura? What the hell are you doing here?" (Slams the door shut)
Bakura: (Blinks)
Joey: (Blinks as well) (Hesitantly rings the doorbell again)
(This time, a girl with many different shades of brown hair and brow eyes answers the door. She's dressed in a light blue shirt and shorts)
Mariana: "Joey!" (She hugs him) "How are you today?"
Joey: "I'm doing good. Uh, not ta be rude or anything, but who was the other person that answered the door?"
Mariana: "Ah, er, well, that was my Yami." (In a loud whisper) "She really likes Bakura, but pretends to hate him, so that's why I asked you to come too, Bakura. I have a plan."
Yami Mariana: "What are you guys talking about now?"
Mariana: "Just where we're going for our date . . ."
Yami Mariana: (Eyes narrow) "Wait, are you taking BOTH of them on the date?"
Mariana: "Well, I guess . . . but you could come if you want and have Bakura as your date . . ."
Yami Mariana: "Ok." (Quickly) "Not that I like him or anything, but I don't want people to think you're a slut or something."
Mariana: "Gee, thanks."
Bakura and Joey: (Exchange glances to the effect of 'they're quite crazy')
(Anyhow, somehow they end up at a restaurant. Yami Mariana goes to the bathroom, so Marian leans over towards Bakura and Joey)
Mariana: "Ok, here's the plan. Bakura, she really likes you. So what we're going to do is pretend we're on a double date, but really stay pretty separated. And what better way to do that then to get a hotel room for the night?"
Joey: "Whoa, are you kidding?"
Mariana: "Of course not!" (Calls the hotel right then and there and reserves two rooms) "This way, you know, she'll get to be with you, you know." (Pause) "And I get to be with Joey!" (Hugs him)
(And so, Yami Mariana comes back, not realizing she is being plotted against, so to speak. They all sit down to eat)
Joey: (Talking mostly to Mariana) "We could always duel sometime . . . I like practicing whenever I can . . . someday I'll beat even Yugi!"
Mariana: (Smiles at him) "Of course you will!"
Bakura: (Not talking much) "Well, umm, the food is good . . ."
Yami Mariana: "I noticed you got the steak. Do you like steak a lot?"
Bakura: "Actually, I like beef better."
Yami Mariana: (Says nothing, but stores away the information for later use)
(And so . . . dinners eaten, bills paid . . . the group ends up at the hotel)
Yami Mariana: (Wails) "You mean I have to spend the night with Bakura??"
Mariana: (Grins) "Yes."
(First, Joey and Mariana go into the first room. They are on the fifth floor)
Joey: "Wow, you can see a lot of stuff from here!"
Mariana: "I know, isn't it amazing? I really like you, you know, Joey."
Joey: "I know." (Hugs her and kisses her) "I really like you too."
(And then to Bakura and Yami Mariana)
Yami Mariana: (Sits on the bed, and looks at Bakura) "I hate you, leave me alone."
Bakura: (Goes to the sliding door thing, and stares outside) "Do you really?"
Yami Mariana: "Of course . . ." (Her voice breaks, but she composes herself) "I don't like you at all."
Bakura: (Still looking outside) "Hey, that's ok."
Yami Mariana: (says nothing)
(Back to Joey and Mariana)
Joey: "Well, what do ya say? Shall we get some sleep?"
Mariana: (Nods) "That way, we can wake up early and see the sunrise."
(They lie down and go to sleep. And in the room two doors down . . .)
Bakura: "Well, I guess . . . I'll just go then, if you really don't want me to stay." (He turns to go)
Yami Mariana: "No. Wait."
Bakura: (Doesn't turn around) "What?"
Yami Mariana: "Don't go." (Pause) "Please don't go."
Bakura: (Nods and sits down next to her) "Sorry."
(There's silence again, and then Yami Mariana gently hugs Bakura)
(The next morning, Joey wakes up and sees that Mariana is having a dream)
Mariana: (Talking in her sleep) "You stole the last chimichanga!"
Joey: (Sweatdrops and shakes Mariana to wake her up)
Mariana: (Gets up, still half asleep) "Did you steal it?"
Joey: "Eh heh, no, I didn't."
Mariana: "Oh! I'm sorry!" (Gets up) "Sometimes, you know, my dreams are like that."
Joey: "Yeah. C'mon, let's go see the sunrise!"
(They walk outside to watch, and Mariana glances over and sees the other balcony. Bakura is sitting with Yami Mariana, and the two of them are hugging each other gently. She smiled, before hugging Joey and watching the sky)
~~~
Mystrana: "Wow . . . that was the sappiest date every! But it was cute, wasn't it?"
Kaiba: "Hmmm."
Mystrana: "That's a yes, since usually you'd say no right away!"
Kaiba: "Well, it was rather touching, I suppose."
Mystrana: "Well, one more date for this week and then next week there will be a few dates and then the party!"
Kaiba: "Works for me. Who has the last date today?"
Mystrana: "Ryou."
(Ryou comes in)
Ryou: "I heard my name . . ."
Mystrana: "Yes, indeed you did!" (Hands him directions) "Go have fun on your date now!"
Ryou: (Blinks and leaves0
Kaiba: "Don't use the directions, under any circumstances!"
Mystrana: (Glares)
~~~
Ryou: (Dressed in khaki's and a blue shirt) "Well, I think Mystrana's directions are ok . . . this seems to be the house . . ." (he rings the doorbell and a tall girl with wavy brown hair and sea-green eyes answers the door)
Infiny: (Dressed in a black trenchcoat with a silver skirt and white tank top) "Hey! How you doing?"
Ryou: "I'm good. Ummm, so, ummm, yeah . . ."
Infiny: "Here, wanna come in for a little bit? Then maybe we could head down to the carnival?"
Ryou: "Oh, that will work out nicely."
Infiny: "Great, works for me! Come on, do you like Coke or Sprite?"
Ryou: "Sprite will be fine, thanks."
Infiny: "You don't need to be overly polite" (Grins in a friendly way, and hands him a can of sprite. After grabbing some pop for herself, the two of them go into the living room)
Ryou: "So you wanna go to the carnival then?"
Infiny: "Yup."
Ryou: "Ok."
Infiny: "You're very cute when you're nervous like that, you know." (Pause) "No offense meant."
Ryou: "Don't worry, none taken." (Smiles a little) "I guess I just get nervous sometimes . . ."
Infiny: "Well, don't worry about it! C'mon, let's go have fun!"
(So they go to the carnival. It's pretty decent, food wise, and they get some hot dogs to eat, but with the rides, it's not that great. Ryou and Infiny end up on the Ferris Wheel, which creaks a lot)
Ryou: (Nervously) "This seems pretty old . . ."
Infiny: "Eh, I'm sure it's fine. Cheap city just didn't want to pay for a nicer model, but they wouldn't dare rent something that could hurt people and get them sued."
Ryou: "Oh yeah, you're right." (Relaxes a little)
Infiny: "Of course I am!" (She leans over and hugs Ryou tightly, which causes the seat to move back and forth a lot, and Ryou tenses up again)
Ryou: "Sorry, I'm slightly scared of heights. This rusty old ferris wheel doesn't help."
Infiny: "Don't worry about it. You got on it in the first place, which is great."
Ryou: (To get his mind off the height) "Well, after this, we should go on the bumper cars. That's one thing they always get a decent set for, you know?"
Infiny: "Yeah!"
Ryou: "And I love bumper cars. How about you?"
Infiny: "Yeah, they rock. And you're right; the cheap city actually does go all-out on them, which is bloody amazing."
Ryou: (Laughs lightly) "Sorry for laughing, but it's just . . . well, it's a stupid reason, really, but usually I don't hear people saying 'bloody amazing' or anything like that, you know?"
Infiny: (Laughs) "I see what you mean!"
Ryou: (Goes to say something, and then pauses) "I, uhh, don't want to say this, but I think . . . we're stuck . . ."
Infiny: (Blinks, and looks down at the control panel, where the guy is holding a piece of the lever that works the machine and shrugging) "Well . . . this sucks . . . how cliché . . . but at least we're not at the very top."
Ryou: (trying to not get scared) "Yeah, we're on the second to the top one." (laughs nervously)
Infiny: "Don't worry Ryou! We'll be down in no time at all."
(A few minutes pass, and nothing happens)
Infiny: "Or not."
Ryou: "Well, it could be worse, I guess . . . but at this rate we're not going to get to go on the bumper cars . . ."
Infiny: (Laughs) "Too bad we don't have any hot dogs up here; we could have a picnic . . . great view, you know . . ."
Ryou: (Looks out) "Yeah . . . it's awesome . . ."
Infiny: (Grins and hugs Ryou) "Just like you!"
Ryou: (Blushes)
(Then, suddenly, the ferris wheel starts moving again, and Ryou and Infiny fall over, off-balance. When they get untangled from each other, the ferris wheel has stopped again, but this time so they can get off, which they do. They decide to skip the bumper cars and go straight home.)
Infiny: "Well, I'm sorry that that didn't work out as well as it could have, but I still had fun . . . I hope you did too?"
Ryou: "Yeah, I had a lot of fun. Thanks for putting up with me."
(They smile at each other and just sort of kiss before Ryou embarrassedly waves and goes off)
~~~
Mystrana: "and with a final 'KAWAII!', that is all of the dates for tonight."
Kaiba: "Who is this Emily person anyway?"
Mystrana: "Don't worry about it!"
Kaiba: "Silence you!"
Mystrana: "You asked me a question!"
Kaiba: " . . .no I didn't."
Bakura: "Idiot."
Kaiba: "Hey!"
Bakura: "Well, you are!"
Mystrana: "And you guys all suck. I'm going to bed." (Goes out)
Kaiba/Bakura: "Talk about mood swings)
Mystrana: (Pokes her head back in) "Night!" (Smiles) "Sweet dreams!" (Goes out again.)
Kaiba: "We NEED to get her on medication."
Bakura: "Not even Malik is as screwed up as she is, I think."
~~~
Nanaki: "Ummm, yeah, it's me again. Well, I'm too lazy to say much, but next week there are going to be some dates and then the party. Yup, that's about it. Ja ne."
