NOTE: Ahem. Just for the record, people are allowed to request second
dates, and possibly thirds, but I try to do peoples first dates before
those, if that makes sense. Just be patient, you'll all get dates. ^_^ Oh,
and BTW, I almost forgot to thank everyone for reviewing! Wow! Almost a
hundred reviews . . . I feel so special . . sniff . . .^_^
Anyhow, this is just a special edition on account I'm bored and here there are three dates, for my friends and my sister. There will still be dates on Sunday, though!
~~~
Mystrana: (Hums to herself) "Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmmm."
Seto: "Um Mystrana?"
Mystrana: (Still humming)
Seto: "Mystrana!"
Mystrana: "Hm- ? What?"
Seto: "It's not Sunday, so why are you making a list and everything for dating?"
Mystrana: "Oh! Of course. I was bored, so I decide to do something."
Seto: "Something like?"
Mystrana: "Well, first I wrote a list for all the dates for this Sunday, intending to get them done early . . . but then I decided I'd do something else."
Seto: "Oh. So what are you doing this time?"
Mystrana: "I got up and finished all the rooms so you guys can move in here finally! And then I'm sending you guys out on dates!"
Seto: "But I though you said you weren't doing dates?"
Mystrana: "Well, I mean, this is kind of for my friends! I'm going to let them go out on dates today!" (Smiles brightly)
Seto: "Dare I ask?"
Mystrana: "Well, you'll be going out with Denise, of course, and then like Joey will be going out with Mariana, and, oh, Ryou will go out with my sister."
Seto: "I hate to say it, but you're going to leave Yami Denise and Yami Mariana without dates?"
Mystrana: "Well, Bakura can go out with Yami Mariana . . . . and Joey can go out with Yami Denise."
Seto: (Facefault) "I take it these dates won't be at the same time?"
Mystrana: "Of course not! But, anyhow, I think it's gonna be great! So where are the other guys? Are they getting their stuff into their rooms?"
Seto: "I don't know, are they that bored?"
Mystrana: "Probably."
Seto: "You're probably right."
(They go upstairs. Upstairs, is basically a square hallway with rooms all around and four rooms in the middle, like a square inside a square, if you know what I mean. One of the doors has 'Bakura' on the nameplate, so Mystrana knocks on the door, and Bakura opens the door)
Bakura: "Yeah?"
Mystrana: "You have a date! Get out here!"
Bakura: (Grumbles and leaves his room)
Mystrana: (Peers into it, noting all the red and black) "Well, I notice you didn't waste anytime in decorating." (Sweatdrop)
Bakura: "I just need to hang the swords up and I'm done."
Seto: "Riiiiight."
Mystrana: "Anyhow . . . we still have to get Joey and Ryou."
Ryou: "Get me for what? Did I do something?"
Mystrana: "Oh, not at all, but I'm sending you on a date with my sister."
Ryou: (Blinks) "Oh, ok."
(So finally Mystrana, Seto, Bakura, Ryou, Joey and Malik are all downstairs)
Bakura: "Malik, why are you here?"
Malik: (Shrugs) "Mystrana needs someone to talk to while you guys are out on dates."
Seto: "Speaking of which, who's going first?"
Mystrana: "Ryou and my sister, Nanaki."
Nanaki: (Comes in) "Yes!" (Pause) "Just let me go change."
Ryou: "Where do we have to go on our date?"
Mystrana: "Wherever you want to go! Just ask Nanaki, I'm sure she'll have ideas. Same goes for you guys on your dates."
(Nanaki comes back in baggy purple jeans and a purple t-shirt. She smiles)
Nanaki: (Glomps Ryou) "Come on, let's go!"
Ryou: "Ack! I can't really move when you're glomped onto me. . ." (Sweatdrops)
Nanaki: "Oh, right, sorry!" (Unglomps and they walk out)
Seto: "I feel bad for Ryou."
Mystrana: ^_^ "Don't feel bad for him!"
Bakura: (Mutters) "Easy for you to say."
~~~
(And, so, Nanaki and Ryou are hailing a cab. One pulls up, and they get in)
Cab dude: "Yo. Where to?"
Nanaki: (Glances at Ryou)" The mall!"
Ryou: (Nods)
Cab Dude: "Alright then." (Takes off, as fast as he can)
Nanaki/Ryou: (Can't sit up properly on account the cab driver is probably going 200 MPH)
Nanaki: (Blinks) (Tries to turn head to look at Ryou) "So how are you?"
Ryou: (Blinks as well) "Fine, I guess."
Nanaki: "I'd glomp you, but I can't move right now."
(Of course, the Cab Dude stops the car so quickly they both almost get flung through the window - but, ah ha! - they were wearing seatbelts, so there)
Nanaki: (A bit woozily) "Yay! Mall!"
Cab Dude: "Yup, that'll be 10 dollars."
Ryou: (blinks) (Pays)
(Anyhow, they go inside the mall . . . .)
Nanaki: "Whee! Candy! And sugar! And pocky! And, umm, yeah, everything else."
Ryou: (Blinks) (Sweatdrops)
Nanaki: "How about we go to Suncoast? Come on!" (She practically drags him there, but once they are there, he's just as happy to be there as she is)
Ryou: "Oh, look, they have the DVD's for .hack//SIGN."
Nanaki: "I love that anime!" (Looks at it) "Oooo, Japanese with English subtitles! That rocks!"
Ryou: (Sweatdrop) "You don't speak Japanese"
Nanaki: "Oh, I know, I know, but it's fun to listen. Besides, dubs aren't that great, ya know?"
Ryou: "Yeah . . ." (Pause) "Oh, look, they have Zoids manga."
(They go over and look at all the manga)
Nanaki: "Oh! They have Ranma, and Inuyasha, and X, and Gundam Wing . . ." (Continues on and on, piling manga in her arms) (finally she goes to the counter)
Person behind the counter: "You do know that all manga is buy one, get one half off, correct?"
Nanaki: (Smiles) "Yup! That's why I brought twice as many as usual! To save Ryou money!"
Ryou: (Pulling out his wallet and sweatdropping yet again)
(After they get the manga and anime stuff, they go on to the next shop, a candy store!)
Nanaki: "Don't you love sugar?" (Glomps Ryou)
Ryou: "Yeah." (Falls over)
Nanaki: "Ack, sorry!" (Unglomps from Ryou and starts picking out candy)
(A bit later, they leave that store, and Nanaki is now holding a big bag of candy and a giant chocolate chip cookie, and Ryou is holding the two bags of manga. They head over to get a bit of lunch at the food court before heading on to the arcade)
Nanaki: (Eyes gleaming) "Ahhhh, the arcade." (Smiles happily and drops the cookie)
Ryou: "Ready to play . . . and lose?"
Nanaki: "You're on."
(They go over to the King Of Fighter 99 console)
Nanaki: "I am unbeatable with my team of Xiangfei, Mai, Leona, and Yuri."
Ryou: "Well, let's see how my team does again them, I pick Iori, Kyo, Athena and . . .K."
(They begin, punching buttons frantically)
Nanaki: "I'm gonna win!"
Ryou: "Not likely."
(They battle it out, and . . .)
Ryou: "Hah! I win!"
Nanaki: (Pouts) (Then brightens up and glomps Ryou) "Oh well, let's try a new game! Magical Drop III!"
Ryou: (Sweatdrop)
(They go over there, and put in coins)
Nanaki: "I pick . . . Moon!"
Ryou: "I'll play as Magician."
(They start pressing buttons again, and . . .)
Nanaki: "Yay! I won!" (Glomps Ryou)
Ryou: "Do I ever actually win?" (Falls over, off balance from being glomped)
Nanaki: "I love you Ryou!"
Ryou: (still on the floor with swirl eyes and the like) "Whatever you say Nanaki. Oooohh."
(So the date sorta ends there, and Nanaki drags Ryou back home)
Mystrana: (Upon their arrival) "Well, did you guys have fun?"
Nanaki: "Tons!"
Ryou: (Still has swirly eyes) "Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhh."
Seto: (blinks)
Nanaki: (Glances at Ryou) "Oh, he'll be fine in the minute! We're gonna go play Final Fantasy now, see you guys later!"
(She runs off, dragging Ryou behind her)
(Everyone else blinks)
Seto: "So, ummm, who's turn is it now, so to speak?"
Mystrana: "Joey, why don't you and Bakura go now?"
Joey: "Alright!"
Bakura: (grumbles, but nods)
(They leave)
Mystrana: (Waves to them) "Byeeee! Have fun!"
~~~
(And so, Bakura and Joey go over to Mariana's house, and once there . . .they knock on the door. Duh. After a minute, someone answers the door)
Yami Mariana: "Ack! Not you guys again! Go away!" (Slams the door shut)
Bakura: (Blinks)
Joey: "This is so repetitive, isn't it?"
Bakura: (Nods)
(inside the house)
Mariana: "Hey, who was at the door just now?"
Yami Mariana: "Ummm, no one." (Shifty eyes)
Mariana: "Yami, who was it?"
Yami Mariana: "I don't know! But out of all the people it could have been, it wasn't Joey and Bakura! Yeah." (Runs upstairs)
Mariana: (Sweatdrops and runs to the door) (Opens it) "Joey! Bakura! Sorry my yami shut the door on you, again!"
Joey: "Hey, it's ok."
Bakura: (Mutter mutter) "Temperamental yami of yours."
Mariana: (Sweatdrops again) "Eh heh, sorry! Hey, so why are you guys here?"
Joey: "Wanna go out on a date with me?"
Bakura: "Yeah, and I'm here for your yami."
Mariana: "Really? Cool!" (Pause) "Ummm, can you give me ten minutes to get ready though?"
Joey: "Sure, just make sure you tell your yami to come down too, ok?"
Mariana: "Yeah, be right back!"
(And in several minutes, she comes back down wearing pink short sleeved t- shirt and her low cut jeans. Her yami is right behind her wearing a navy blue t-shirt and shorts, and glaring at everything. Both of them have their arm bands on their left arm and their millennium arm cuffs on their right arm)
Mariana: "I didn't take too long, did I?"
Joey: (Smile) "Nope."
Bakura: (Somewhat smiles at Yami Mariana)
Y. Mariana: (Glares)
Joey: "So what do you want to do , then?"
Mariana: "Oh, I know! Let's go down to the pound and volunteer for the day!"
Y. Mariana: (Sarcastically, of course) "Oh what fun. I am positively convulsing with joy." (Rolls eyes)
Bakura: "C'mon, it can't be that bad!"
Y. Mariana: "Watching after smelly strays try to kill each other, and you say that isn't too bad?"
Bakura: "I stand corrected."
Mariana: "Oh, come on, anyway, let's go."
(So they go down to the pound and walk up to the counter to volunteer)
Mariana: ^_^ "Hi, we'd like to help out today!"
Person: "Reallly?"
Y. Mariana: "No."
Mariana: "Shush you!" (Turns to the person) "Yup!"
Person: "Ok! My name is Janet. Come here into the back and I can show you around and then you can stick around and help for as long as you'd like, ok?"
Mariana: "Sounds great."
Joey: "Yeah!"
Bakura/Y. Mariana: (Grumble, grumble)
(They go into the back and are given name tags, the clip on kind, and Janet briefly explains that they need help with cleaning the strays to be put out front)
Janet: "And, yeah, basically, just keep track of which ones are clean and which one's aren't, and it'll all work out. Those two tubs on that end-" (Points) "-Are for the dogs, and the other two are for cats."
Joey: "This sounds easy!"
Mariana: "And we get to help too!"
(So Janet leaves them to start, and they all wander around, looking at the animals to be cleaned)
Joey: "Hey, this here is an adorable puppy!" (He picks up a small chocolate lab, presumably just a puppy still, and brings it over to the tub, petting it lightly. The puppy 'arfs' happily)
Mariana: "Oh my gosh! Look at the cute kitten!" (Picks up a small all-white kitten, except for a patch of brown on the left eye, and at the end of the tail)
Bakura: "This is boring." (Looks around, and points to a German Shepard dog) "You there! Get in the tub!"
Dog: (Growls)
Bakura: "Just do it!"
Dog: (Growls)
Bakura: "Don't make me get angry!"
Dog: (Lunges)
Bakura: "Ack!" (Runs)
Y. Mariana: "Hahahaha! That's funny!" (Pause) "And yet, at the same time I want to help him, because . . .there's just something . . ." (Shakes herself) "What AM I thinking?" (Mutters to herself as she picks up a fluffy dog to clean)
(A bit later, all the kitties and most of the dogs are looking pretty clean. Bakura, however, is sitting in the corner, pouting, having been bit several times, and Y. Mariana is trying to cheer him up without making it seem too obvious; both Mariana and Joey, who are currently cleaning a large great dane together, can tell Y. Mariana is totally trying to get Bakura's attention)
Bakura: "Six bites! SIX! I mean, I like blood as much as the next person, but geeez!"
Y. Mariana: "I can get you a bandage if you want." (Pause) "But only if you really want it because I won't just do favors for you, you know!" (Pause) "But you are bleeding pretty badly, so are you sure you don't want a bandage?"
Bakura: "I dunno, if you feel like getting one, sure." (Smiles somewhat)
Y. Mariana: "Well, I don't!" (pause) "Oh, fine."
Joey: (Laughs lightly as Y. Mariana storms out in search for a bandage)
Mariana: "They get along nicely, don't they?" (Smiles)
Joey: "Indeed."
(And so, after awhile, they go back to Mariana's house, and it is getting dark. Joey and Mariana go sit on the huge trampoline, and Bakura and Y. Mariana drag out chairs to sit in the corner of the yard)
Mariana: (Lying back on the trampoline) "It's a clear sky tonight." (Happily) "I'll bet we could see ALL the stars!"
Joey: "Yeah."
Y. Mariana: (Resting her head on Bakura slightly) "It is nice out tonight . . . I guess."
Bakura: (Smiles softly) "Yeah, it is."
(And then both pairs start kissing, so we'll fade out, and a bit later, Joey and Bakura return to where Mystrana and the others are)
Mystrana: "Yay! You guys had fun, didn't you?"
Bakura: (Pauses) "Mariana's yami is different, that's for sure, but she's nice." (Smile)
Joey: "Mariana has a kick-ass trampoline!" (Grins)
Seto: "So easily amused." (Shakes his head)
Malik: "This is boring."
Mystrana: "Silence, you. Alright, Bakura, you can go."
Bakura: "Yay!" (Runs off)
Seto: "Can't we just wait until tomorrow to go out with Denise and her yami?"
Mystrana: "Umm no, you can take them to a nightclub or something. And I'm bored, so I'll be going too, and taking Malik. But we won't come by until later and I swear we won't ruin your dates!" ^_^
Malik: "Wait, what? What is this about me going out with you?"
Mystrana: (Sniffle) "Am I really that bad you wouldn't even just go out with me once?"
Malik: (Blink) "Ummm, no, but . . ."
Mystrana: "Great, then it all works out!"
Malik: "Why don't you just take Bakura!? I thought you liked him."
Mystrana: "I do, I do, but he just had to go on a date."
Joey: "So did I."
Mystrana: "He had to go on a date with Y. Mariana. I think he needs the rest."
Joey: (Blink)
Seto: "Well, that's random."
Mystrana: "Anyhow! Go pick them up, alright? And yeah!"
Seto: "Riiiiight."
(He and Joey go upstairs quickly to get changed, and come back downstairs to go pick up Denise and her yami. Seto is now wearing black pants and white shirt, with a black trenchcoat, and Joey is also wearing black pants, but with a blue shirt. They wave and leave)
Mystrana: "Yay! Now, Malik, where are you anyway?"
Malik: "Right here, right here."
Mystrana: "Okidoki, I'm going get changed and then we're leaving."
Malik: "Very well."
(So Mystrana changes into a black skirt that ends just above her knees with black boots and a black shirt with flared sleeves, and Malik wears all black too, pants and tank top-type shirt. They go)
(Meanwhile, Seto and Joey go over to Denise's house and knock on the door)
Denise: "Hmmm?" (Opens door) "Ack! Seto?"
YLL (Easiest thing to write): "And Joey?"
Denise: "What are you doing here?"
Seto: "Wanna go out?"
Joey: "Yeah."
Denise: (Eyes get sparkly) "Really?"
Seto: (Nod)
Denise: (Smiles, and blushes) "Sure."
Seto: (Smiles back)
YLL: "And what's with you Joey?"
Joey: "Wanna go out with me?"
YLL: (Pause) "Sure."
Denise: "Oh, question? Where are we going to go?"
Seto: "How about a nightclub?"
YLL: "Oh YEAH! Just let me get changed."
Denise: "Yeah, me too. We'll be right back."
(So in a bit, Denise comes down in a short sleeved emerald green dress, with black boots and her hair neatly done in a bun)
Seto: "You look nice."
Denise: (Smile) "Thank you."
Seto: "Well, you do."
(A bit of time passes)
Joey: "Erm, not ta sound rude or anything, but what's taking your yami so long?"
Denise: "She has to put on her make-up."
Joey: "Oh, ok."
(And then YLL comes downstairs and she's wearing all purple; make-up, shoes, sleeveless dress, etc)
Joey: "Whoa. You look great."
YLL: (Big smile)
(So Seto, who called for his limo, takes them all the club, which will be called Yami No Tenshi - Dark Angel. They all go inside)
YLL: "Yay, let's go get drinks."
Joey: "Or not. You can have rum and coke, minus the rum."
(The two of them go off to get something to drink, and Denise and Seto look at each other)
Denise: "Well, what do you wanna do?"
Seto: "Up to you."
Denise: "Wanna dance, maybe?"
Seto: "Sure, why not?" (Smiles)
(They go onto the dance floor, to dance, of course)
(Meanwhile, YLL and Joey had both gotten soda to drink are doing just that and drinking it. Yup. After awhile, they, too, go out to dance)
Denise: "Seto?"
Seto: "Yeah?"
Denise: (Blushes slightly) "You're a really good dancer."
Seto: (Smiles) "Thank you. You're good too."
Denise: (Beams) "You really mean it?"
Seto: "Yeah. You're really nice when you're not annoying, you know."
Denise: (Scowls) "What do you mean I'm annoying?"
Seto: "Nothing, nothing. Let's dance."
(And so on and so forth)
YLL: (Trying to dance with Joey while still drinking her soda)
Joey: "Just don't spill that on me, ok, and we're good."
(Oh, yeah, Mystrana and Malik are there too, but they're, umm, just making out in the corner, so it doesn't matter much. Anyhow, Seto and Denise have sat down to get something to drink)
Seto: "So, you having fun?"
Denise: "Yeah, lots. Even though tomorrow I'll kill my yami because I'm sure I'll have a headache from the loud music." (Pause, and smiles) "But hey, it's worth it to be with you."
Seto: (Smiles) "Hey, do you maybe want to go someplace quieter to get something to eat?"
Denise: "Hey, that'd be a great idea." (She glances at YLL and Joey who are still dancing wildly together, and Mystrana and Malik who are talking about something now, and shrugs) "Should we bring them along?"
Seto: "If we do, they have to sit at a different table. I just want to be with you."
Denise: (Blushes)
Seto: "It's true, and furthermore, I don't need to see your yami and Joey going at it under the table or something."
Denise: "Seto!"
Seto: "Sorry."
(So as it turns out, YLL and Joey decide to stay at the club and Mystrana and Malik decide to go along and sit at a different table. Once there and after getting their food . . .)
Denise: "Ahhh, it's so quiet now." (sighs happily) "Thanks for taking me here."
Seto: "No problem. You don't have a headache now, do you?"
Denise: "Nope." ^_^
(Meanwhile, Joey and YLL are still dancing. ^_^ Even more meanwhile, Mystrana and Malik are talking.)
Malik: "You know, you procrastinate a lot."
Mystrana: "I do not."
Malik: "Uh huh. For example, last week, what was it you said? Something along the lines of 'I have a great fic idea and am going to write it all tonight?' and lo and behold, a week later . . . what have you gotten done?"
Mystrana: (Sweatdrops) "I wrote a full page to it."
Malik: "Yeah, excuses."
Mystrana: "Hmmphf."
(Back to Seto and Denise)
Seto: "So, anyway, I don't know when, but we should go out again soon, ok?"
Denise: "Yeah."
Seto: "Just maybe, though, we can leave Joey and your yami home and just go out, the two of us?"
Denise: (Stifles laughter) "I don't dare leave those two alone in a house!" (Shakes head, smiling)
Seto: "I suppose you're right."
(So they finish eating, and Seto pays for the bill, and brings Denise home)
Seto: "I had a good time."
Denise: (Smile) "Me too."
Seto: (Kisses her, before leaving)
(Back at Random Insanities --- That's what the building Mystrana lives at is called)
Mystrana: (Sitting next to Malik) "Well, Seto, Joey, did you guys have fun?"
Joey: (Yawns) "I'm tired."
Seto: "I had a good time, of course."
Joey: "Yeah, this wasn't too bad. And you didn't really torture me that much, so I'm happy."
Mystrana: (Smiles and closes her eyes tiredly) "Yeah, it was fun. I think I might start something like this with some other bishies . . . maybe like Hiei and Kurama. . ."
Seto: "Yu Yu Hakusho?"
Mystrana: "Yeah, maybe, even though I only know about five people . . . Hiei . . .Kurama . . .etc . . ."
Seto: "I doubt it."
Mystrana: "Well, we shall see. If any of you people are a Yu Yu Hakusho fan, and/or want a date with one of those bishies . . . maybe, just maybe, I'll be starting something over there."
Malik: "What, you don't have enough bishies here?"
Mystrana: "No, I love all you guys, really!"
Malik: "Riiiiight."
Mystrana: (Hugs Malik) "I love you, and Bakura, and Seto, and Yugi and Yami and everyone! Don't worry, it'll all be good."
Seto: "Sure. Right. Anyhow, I'm going to sleep."
Joey: "Me too."
(They both go upstairs to their rooms, and after awhile Malik goes to his room)
Mystrana: (Yawn) "Yup, well, that's all for now. Come back Sunday for more dating fun."
Anyhow, this is just a special edition on account I'm bored and here there are three dates, for my friends and my sister. There will still be dates on Sunday, though!
~~~
Mystrana: (Hums to herself) "Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmmm."
Seto: "Um Mystrana?"
Mystrana: (Still humming)
Seto: "Mystrana!"
Mystrana: "Hm- ? What?"
Seto: "It's not Sunday, so why are you making a list and everything for dating?"
Mystrana: "Oh! Of course. I was bored, so I decide to do something."
Seto: "Something like?"
Mystrana: "Well, first I wrote a list for all the dates for this Sunday, intending to get them done early . . . but then I decided I'd do something else."

Mystrana: "I got up and finished all the rooms so you guys can move in here finally! And then I'm sending you guys out on dates!"
Seto: "But I though you said you weren't doing dates?"
Mystrana: "Well, I mean, this is kind of for my friends! I'm going to let them go out on dates today!" (Smiles brightly)
Seto: "Dare I ask?"
Mystrana: "Well, you'll be going out with Denise, of course, and then like Joey will be going out with Mariana, and, oh, Ryou will go out with my sister."
Seto: "I hate to say it, but you're going to leave Yami Denise and Yami Mariana without dates?"
Mystrana: "Well, Bakura can go out with Yami Mariana . . . . and Joey can go out with Yami Denise."
Seto: (Facefault) "I take it these dates won't be at the same time?"
Mystrana: "Of course not! But, anyhow, I think it's gonna be great! So where are the other guys? Are they getting their stuff into their rooms?"
Seto: "I don't know, are they that bored?"
Mystrana: "Probably."
Seto: "You're probably right."
(They go upstairs. Upstairs, is basically a square hallway with rooms all around and four rooms in the middle, like a square inside a square, if you know what I mean. One of the doors has 'Bakura' on the nameplate, so Mystrana knocks on the door, and Bakura opens the door)
Bakura: "Yeah?"
Mystrana: "You have a date! Get out here!"
Bakura: (Grumbles and leaves his room)
Mystrana: (Peers into it, noting all the red and black) "Well, I notice you didn't waste anytime in decorating." (Sweatdrop)
Bakura: "I just need to hang the swords up and I'm done."
Seto: "Riiiiight."
Mystrana: "Anyhow . . . we still have to get Joey and Ryou."
Ryou: "Get me for what? Did I do something?"
Mystrana: "Oh, not at all, but I'm sending you on a date with my sister."
Ryou: (Blinks) "Oh, ok."
(So finally Mystrana, Seto, Bakura, Ryou, Joey and Malik are all downstairs)
Bakura: "Malik, why are you here?"
Malik: (Shrugs) "Mystrana needs someone to talk to while you guys are out on dates."
Seto: "Speaking of which, who's going first?"
Mystrana: "Ryou and my sister, Nanaki."
Nanaki: (Comes in) "Yes!" (Pause) "Just let me go change."
Ryou: "Where do we have to go on our date?"
Mystrana: "Wherever you want to go! Just ask Nanaki, I'm sure she'll have ideas. Same goes for you guys on your dates."
(Nanaki comes back in baggy purple jeans and a purple t-shirt. She smiles)
Nanaki: (Glomps Ryou) "Come on, let's go!"
Ryou: "Ack! I can't really move when you're glomped onto me. . ." (Sweatdrops)
Nanaki: "Oh, right, sorry!" (Unglomps and they walk out)
Seto: "I feel bad for Ryou."
Mystrana: ^_^ "Don't feel bad for him!"
Bakura: (Mutters) "Easy for you to say."
~~~
(And, so, Nanaki and Ryou are hailing a cab. One pulls up, and they get in)
Cab dude: "Yo. Where to?"
Nanaki: (Glances at Ryou)" The mall!"
Ryou: (Nods)
Cab Dude: "Alright then." (Takes off, as fast as he can)
Nanaki/Ryou: (Can't sit up properly on account the cab driver is probably going 200 MPH)
Nanaki: (Blinks) (Tries to turn head to look at Ryou) "So how are you?"
Ryou: (Blinks as well) "Fine, I guess."
Nanaki: "I'd glomp you, but I can't move right now."
(Of course, the Cab Dude stops the car so quickly they both almost get flung through the window - but, ah ha! - they were wearing seatbelts, so there)
Nanaki: (A bit woozily) "Yay! Mall!"
Cab Dude: "Yup, that'll be 10 dollars."
Ryou: (blinks) (Pays)
(Anyhow, they go inside the mall . . . .)
Nanaki: "Whee! Candy! And sugar! And pocky! And, umm, yeah, everything else."
Ryou: (Blinks) (Sweatdrops)
Nanaki: "How about we go to Suncoast? Come on!" (She practically drags him there, but once they are there, he's just as happy to be there as she is)
Ryou: "Oh, look, they have the DVD's for .hack//SIGN."
Nanaki: "I love that anime!" (Looks at it) "Oooo, Japanese with English subtitles! That rocks!"
Ryou: (Sweatdrop) "You don't speak Japanese"
Nanaki: "Oh, I know, I know, but it's fun to listen. Besides, dubs aren't that great, ya know?"
Ryou: "Yeah . . ." (Pause) "Oh, look, they have Zoids manga."
(They go over and look at all the manga)
Nanaki: "Oh! They have Ranma, and Inuyasha, and X, and Gundam Wing . . ." (Continues on and on, piling manga in her arms) (finally she goes to the counter)
Person behind the counter: "You do know that all manga is buy one, get one half off, correct?"
Nanaki: (Smiles) "Yup! That's why I brought twice as many as usual! To save Ryou money!"
Ryou: (Pulling out his wallet and sweatdropping yet again)
(After they get the manga and anime stuff, they go on to the next shop, a candy store!)
Nanaki: "Don't you love sugar?" (Glomps Ryou)
Ryou: "Yeah." (Falls over)
Nanaki: "Ack, sorry!" (Unglomps from Ryou and starts picking out candy)
(A bit later, they leave that store, and Nanaki is now holding a big bag of candy and a giant chocolate chip cookie, and Ryou is holding the two bags of manga. They head over to get a bit of lunch at the food court before heading on to the arcade)
Nanaki: (Eyes gleaming) "Ahhhh, the arcade." (Smiles happily and drops the cookie)
Ryou: "Ready to play . . . and lose?"
Nanaki: "You're on."
(They go over to the King Of Fighter 99 console)
Nanaki: "I am unbeatable with my team of Xiangfei, Mai, Leona, and Yuri."
Ryou: "Well, let's see how my team does again them, I pick Iori, Kyo, Athena and . . .K."
(They begin, punching buttons frantically)
Nanaki: "I'm gonna win!"
Ryou: "Not likely."
(They battle it out, and . . .)
Ryou: "Hah! I win!"
Nanaki: (Pouts) (Then brightens up and glomps Ryou) "Oh well, let's try a new game! Magical Drop III!"
Ryou: (Sweatdrop)
(They go over there, and put in coins)
Nanaki: "I pick . . . Moon!"
Ryou: "I'll play as Magician."
(They start pressing buttons again, and . . .)
Nanaki: "Yay! I won!" (Glomps Ryou)
Ryou: "Do I ever actually win?" (Falls over, off balance from being glomped)
Nanaki: "I love you Ryou!"
Ryou: (still on the floor with swirl eyes and the like) "Whatever you say Nanaki. Oooohh."
(So the date sorta ends there, and Nanaki drags Ryou back home)
Mystrana: (Upon their arrival) "Well, did you guys have fun?"
Nanaki: "Tons!"
Ryou: (Still has swirly eyes) "Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhh."
Seto: (blinks)
Nanaki: (Glances at Ryou) "Oh, he'll be fine in the minute! We're gonna go play Final Fantasy now, see you guys later!"
(She runs off, dragging Ryou behind her)
(Everyone else blinks)
Seto: "So, ummm, who's turn is it now, so to speak?"
Mystrana: "Joey, why don't you and Bakura go now?"
Joey: "Alright!"
Bakura: (grumbles, but nods)
(They leave)
Mystrana: (Waves to them) "Byeeee! Have fun!"
~~~
(And so, Bakura and Joey go over to Mariana's house, and once there . . .they knock on the door. Duh. After a minute, someone answers the door)
Yami Mariana: "Ack! Not you guys again! Go away!" (Slams the door shut)
Bakura: (Blinks)
Joey: "This is so repetitive, isn't it?"
Bakura: (Nods)
(inside the house)
Mariana: "Hey, who was at the door just now?"
Yami Mariana: "Ummm, no one." (Shifty eyes)
Mariana: "Yami, who was it?"
Yami Mariana: "I don't know! But out of all the people it could have been, it wasn't Joey and Bakura! Yeah." (Runs upstairs)
Mariana: (Sweatdrops and runs to the door) (Opens it) "Joey! Bakura! Sorry my yami shut the door on you, again!"
Joey: "Hey, it's ok."
Bakura: (Mutter mutter) "Temperamental yami of yours."
Mariana: (Sweatdrops again) "Eh heh, sorry! Hey, so why are you guys here?"
Joey: "Wanna go out on a date with me?"
Bakura: "Yeah, and I'm here for your yami."
Mariana: "Really? Cool!" (Pause) "Ummm, can you give me ten minutes to get ready though?"
Joey: "Sure, just make sure you tell your yami to come down too, ok?"
Mariana: "Yeah, be right back!"
(And in several minutes, she comes back down wearing pink short sleeved t- shirt and her low cut jeans. Her yami is right behind her wearing a navy blue t-shirt and shorts, and glaring at everything. Both of them have their arm bands on their left arm and their millennium arm cuffs on their right arm)
Mariana: "I didn't take too long, did I?"
Joey: (Smile) "Nope."
Bakura: (Somewhat smiles at Yami Mariana)
Y. Mariana: (Glares)
Joey: "So what do you want to do , then?"
Mariana: "Oh, I know! Let's go down to the pound and volunteer for the day!"
Y. Mariana: (Sarcastically, of course) "Oh what fun. I am positively convulsing with joy." (Rolls eyes)
Bakura: "C'mon, it can't be that bad!"
Y. Mariana: "Watching after smelly strays try to kill each other, and you say that isn't too bad?"
Bakura: "I stand corrected."
Mariana: "Oh, come on, anyway, let's go."
(So they go down to the pound and walk up to the counter to volunteer)
Mariana: ^_^ "Hi, we'd like to help out today!"
Person: "Reallly?"
Y. Mariana: "No."
Mariana: "Shush you!" (Turns to the person) "Yup!"
Person: "Ok! My name is Janet. Come here into the back and I can show you around and then you can stick around and help for as long as you'd like, ok?"
Mariana: "Sounds great."
Joey: "Yeah!"
Bakura/Y. Mariana: (Grumble, grumble)
(They go into the back and are given name tags, the clip on kind, and Janet briefly explains that they need help with cleaning the strays to be put out front)
Janet: "And, yeah, basically, just keep track of which ones are clean and which one's aren't, and it'll all work out. Those two tubs on that end-" (Points) "-Are for the dogs, and the other two are for cats."
Joey: "This sounds easy!"
Mariana: "And we get to help too!"
(So Janet leaves them to start, and they all wander around, looking at the animals to be cleaned)
Joey: "Hey, this here is an adorable puppy!" (He picks up a small chocolate lab, presumably just a puppy still, and brings it over to the tub, petting it lightly. The puppy 'arfs' happily)
Mariana: "Oh my gosh! Look at the cute kitten!" (Picks up a small all-white kitten, except for a patch of brown on the left eye, and at the end of the tail)
Bakura: "This is boring." (Looks around, and points to a German Shepard dog) "You there! Get in the tub!"
Dog: (Growls)
Bakura: "Just do it!"
Dog: (Growls)
Bakura: "Don't make me get angry!"
Dog: (Lunges)
Bakura: "Ack!" (Runs)
Y. Mariana: "Hahahaha! That's funny!" (Pause) "And yet, at the same time I want to help him, because . . .there's just something . . ." (Shakes herself) "What AM I thinking?" (Mutters to herself as she picks up a fluffy dog to clean)
(A bit later, all the kitties and most of the dogs are looking pretty clean. Bakura, however, is sitting in the corner, pouting, having been bit several times, and Y. Mariana is trying to cheer him up without making it seem too obvious; both Mariana and Joey, who are currently cleaning a large great dane together, can tell Y. Mariana is totally trying to get Bakura's attention)
Bakura: "Six bites! SIX! I mean, I like blood as much as the next person, but geeez!"
Y. Mariana: "I can get you a bandage if you want." (Pause) "But only if you really want it because I won't just do favors for you, you know!" (Pause) "But you are bleeding pretty badly, so are you sure you don't want a bandage?"
Bakura: "I dunno, if you feel like getting one, sure." (Smiles somewhat)
Y. Mariana: "Well, I don't!" (pause) "Oh, fine."
Joey: (Laughs lightly as Y. Mariana storms out in search for a bandage)
Mariana: "They get along nicely, don't they?" (Smiles)
Joey: "Indeed."
(And so, after awhile, they go back to Mariana's house, and it is getting dark. Joey and Mariana go sit on the huge trampoline, and Bakura and Y. Mariana drag out chairs to sit in the corner of the yard)
Mariana: (Lying back on the trampoline) "It's a clear sky tonight." (Happily) "I'll bet we could see ALL the stars!"
Joey: "Yeah."
Y. Mariana: (Resting her head on Bakura slightly) "It is nice out tonight . . . I guess."
Bakura: (Smiles softly) "Yeah, it is."
(And then both pairs start kissing, so we'll fade out, and a bit later, Joey and Bakura return to where Mystrana and the others are)
Mystrana: "Yay! You guys had fun, didn't you?"
Bakura: (Pauses) "Mariana's yami is different, that's for sure, but she's nice." (Smile)
Joey: "Mariana has a kick-ass trampoline!" (Grins)
Seto: "So easily amused." (Shakes his head)
Malik: "This is boring."
Mystrana: "Silence, you. Alright, Bakura, you can go."
Bakura: "Yay!" (Runs off)
Seto: "Can't we just wait until tomorrow to go out with Denise and her yami?"
Mystrana: "Umm no, you can take them to a nightclub or something. And I'm bored, so I'll be going too, and taking Malik. But we won't come by until later and I swear we won't ruin your dates!" ^_^
Malik: "Wait, what? What is this about me going out with you?"
Mystrana: (Sniffle) "Am I really that bad you wouldn't even just go out with me once?"
Malik: (Blink) "Ummm, no, but . . ."
Mystrana: "Great, then it all works out!"
Malik: "Why don't you just take Bakura!? I thought you liked him."
Mystrana: "I do, I do, but he just had to go on a date."
Joey: "So did I."
Mystrana: "He had to go on a date with Y. Mariana. I think he needs the rest."
Joey: (Blink)
Seto: "Well, that's random."
Mystrana: "Anyhow! Go pick them up, alright? And yeah!"
Seto: "Riiiiight."
(He and Joey go upstairs quickly to get changed, and come back downstairs to go pick up Denise and her yami. Seto is now wearing black pants and white shirt, with a black trenchcoat, and Joey is also wearing black pants, but with a blue shirt. They wave and leave)
Mystrana: "Yay! Now, Malik, where are you anyway?"
Malik: "Right here, right here."
Mystrana: "Okidoki, I'm going get changed and then we're leaving."
Malik: "Very well."
(So Mystrana changes into a black skirt that ends just above her knees with black boots and a black shirt with flared sleeves, and Malik wears all black too, pants and tank top-type shirt. They go)
(Meanwhile, Seto and Joey go over to Denise's house and knock on the door)
Denise: "Hmmm?" (Opens door) "Ack! Seto?"
YLL (Easiest thing to write): "And Joey?"
Denise: "What are you doing here?"
Seto: "Wanna go out?"
Joey: "Yeah."
Denise: (Eyes get sparkly) "Really?"
Seto: (Nod)
Denise: (Smiles, and blushes) "Sure."
Seto: (Smiles back)
YLL: "And what's with you Joey?"
Joey: "Wanna go out with me?"
YLL: (Pause) "Sure."
Denise: "Oh, question? Where are we going to go?"
Seto: "How about a nightclub?"
YLL: "Oh YEAH! Just let me get changed."
Denise: "Yeah, me too. We'll be right back."
(So in a bit, Denise comes down in a short sleeved emerald green dress, with black boots and her hair neatly done in a bun)
Seto: "You look nice."
Denise: (Smile) "Thank you."
Seto: "Well, you do."
(A bit of time passes)
Joey: "Erm, not ta sound rude or anything, but what's taking your yami so long?"
Denise: "She has to put on her make-up."
Joey: "Oh, ok."
(And then YLL comes downstairs and she's wearing all purple; make-up, shoes, sleeveless dress, etc)
Joey: "Whoa. You look great."
YLL: (Big smile)
(So Seto, who called for his limo, takes them all the club, which will be called Yami No Tenshi - Dark Angel. They all go inside)
YLL: "Yay, let's go get drinks."
Joey: "Or not. You can have rum and coke, minus the rum."
(The two of them go off to get something to drink, and Denise and Seto look at each other)
Denise: "Well, what do you wanna do?"
Seto: "Up to you."
Denise: "Wanna dance, maybe?"
Seto: "Sure, why not?" (Smiles)
(They go onto the dance floor, to dance, of course)
(Meanwhile, YLL and Joey had both gotten soda to drink are doing just that and drinking it. Yup. After awhile, they, too, go out to dance)
Denise: "Seto?"
Seto: "Yeah?"
Denise: (Blushes slightly) "You're a really good dancer."
Seto: (Smiles) "Thank you. You're good too."
Denise: (Beams) "You really mean it?"
Seto: "Yeah. You're really nice when you're not annoying, you know."
Denise: (Scowls) "What do you mean I'm annoying?"
Seto: "Nothing, nothing. Let's dance."
(And so on and so forth)
YLL: (Trying to dance with Joey while still drinking her soda)
Joey: "Just don't spill that on me, ok, and we're good."
(Oh, yeah, Mystrana and Malik are there too, but they're, umm, just making out in the corner, so it doesn't matter much. Anyhow, Seto and Denise have sat down to get something to drink)
Seto: "So, you having fun?"
Denise: "Yeah, lots. Even though tomorrow I'll kill my yami because I'm sure I'll have a headache from the loud music." (Pause, and smiles) "But hey, it's worth it to be with you."
Seto: (Smiles) "Hey, do you maybe want to go someplace quieter to get something to eat?"
Denise: "Hey, that'd be a great idea." (She glances at YLL and Joey who are still dancing wildly together, and Mystrana and Malik who are talking about something now, and shrugs) "Should we bring them along?"
Seto: "If we do, they have to sit at a different table. I just want to be with you."
Denise: (Blushes)
Seto: "It's true, and furthermore, I don't need to see your yami and Joey going at it under the table or something."
Denise: "Seto!"
Seto: "Sorry."
(So as it turns out, YLL and Joey decide to stay at the club and Mystrana and Malik decide to go along and sit at a different table. Once there and after getting their food . . .)
Denise: "Ahhh, it's so quiet now." (sighs happily) "Thanks for taking me here."
Seto: "No problem. You don't have a headache now, do you?"
Denise: "Nope." ^_^
(Meanwhile, Joey and YLL are still dancing. ^_^ Even more meanwhile, Mystrana and Malik are talking.)
Malik: "You know, you procrastinate a lot."
Mystrana: "I do not."
Malik: "Uh huh. For example, last week, what was it you said? Something along the lines of 'I have a great fic idea and am going to write it all tonight?' and lo and behold, a week later . . . what have you gotten done?"
Mystrana: (Sweatdrops) "I wrote a full page to it."
Malik: "Yeah, excuses."
Mystrana: "Hmmphf."
(Back to Seto and Denise)
Seto: "So, anyway, I don't know when, but we should go out again soon, ok?"
Denise: "Yeah."
Seto: "Just maybe, though, we can leave Joey and your yami home and just go out, the two of us?"
Denise: (Stifles laughter) "I don't dare leave those two alone in a house!" (Shakes head, smiling)
Seto: "I suppose you're right."
(So they finish eating, and Seto pays for the bill, and brings Denise home)
Seto: "I had a good time."
Denise: (Smile) "Me too."
Seto: (Kisses her, before leaving)
(Back at Random Insanities --- That's what the building Mystrana lives at is called)
Mystrana: (Sitting next to Malik) "Well, Seto, Joey, did you guys have fun?"
Joey: (Yawns) "I'm tired."
Seto: "I had a good time, of course."
Joey: "Yeah, this wasn't too bad. And you didn't really torture me that much, so I'm happy."
Mystrana: (Smiles and closes her eyes tiredly) "Yeah, it was fun. I think I might start something like this with some other bishies . . . maybe like Hiei and Kurama. . ."
Seto: "Yu Yu Hakusho?"
Mystrana: "Yeah, maybe, even though I only know about five people . . . Hiei . . .Kurama . . .etc . . ."
Seto: "I doubt it."
Mystrana: "Well, we shall see. If any of you people are a Yu Yu Hakusho fan, and/or want a date with one of those bishies . . . maybe, just maybe, I'll be starting something over there."
Malik: "What, you don't have enough bishies here?"
Mystrana: "No, I love all you guys, really!"
Malik: "Riiiiight."
Mystrana: (Hugs Malik) "I love you, and Bakura, and Seto, and Yugi and Yami and everyone! Don't worry, it'll all be good."
Seto: "Sure. Right. Anyhow, I'm going to sleep."
Joey: "Me too."
(They both go upstairs to their rooms, and after awhile Malik goes to his room)
Mystrana: (Yawn) "Yup, well, that's all for now. Come back Sunday for more dating fun."
