Hmmm, just for the record, I want to say that though this fic is rated 'g'
that's mostly just for the dates. The stuff that happens in between dates
can be PG to PG-13 ish with suggestive dialogue, yaoi (hehehe, all the
guys are bi) mentionings, and also, Truth or Dare. ^_^
Mystrana: (Is randomly tidying up around the room; fixing the pillows and vacuuming)
(Seto comes in and watches her silently for a minute before 'aheming')
Mystrana: (Turns off the vacuum) "Ack! You surprised me!"
Seto: "It's not that hard. Anyhow, it's time for dates now, isn't it?"
Mystrana: "Yup! I'm just tidying up before everyone comes and messes everything up, you know."
Seto: "Of course. And when everyone's gone to sleep, it'll be just as messy."
Mystrana: "Maybe, probably. By the way, your new order of chocolate sauce will be in next week. How do you go through it so fast?"
Seto: (Smirks) "That's for me to know and you to *never* find out."
Mystrana: "Yeah, yeah."
Seto: "By the way, your spring break is officially over tomorrow, you know."
Mystrana: (Sigh) "Yeah, I know."
Seto: "Aren't you terribly upset?"
Mystrana: "Actually, not really."
(Malik comes in)
Malik: "Actually not really what?"
Mystrana: "My spring break is over tomorrow. But it's not that bad, because, seriously, even though I love having all that free time, there is a such thing as too much free time, if you know what I mean?"
Seto: "Not really. I'm always busy."
Mystrana: "You are not. And I get bored easily, so after awhile, spring break - or any break for that matter - gets very tedious and boring."
Malik: "I though you were going to write the entire time."
Mystrana: "I wanted to, but even that gets boring."
Malik: "How weird."
(Mystrana goes back to cleaning up some)
Seto: "That's rather unusual, though, don't you think?"
Malik: "That she gets bored easily? Not really."
Seto: "No, that she doesn't like getting breaks from school."
Malik: "Yeah, I don't know about her. That's just almost weird."
Mystrana: "Not really. I love summer break, but the problem with spring break is that when you go back, everything is still waiting for you. Overdue projects, idiot teachers, busy work, no free time . . . it's better to just get it over with, you know? But with summer break, when you come back it's to a fresh start."
Malik: "Ah. Right." (Blink)
Seto: "I'm with you."
Mystrana: (Smiles) "Well, it doesn't really matter now, I guess, so let's see who's got dates lined up yet." (Checks her list) "Yami . . . Bakura . . . Malik . . . Seto . . . Ryou . . ."
Seto: "As usual, correct?"
Mystrana: "Yup, but you guys don't mind, right?"
Malik: (Shrugs) "Why would I?"
Seto: "Yeah, it's not that bad."
Mystrana: "You shouldn't say that, you'll make enemies."
Seto: "Riiiiiight."
Mystrana: "Well, it doesn't matter for you two yet, on account Yami has the first date. Where is he anyway?" (Goes upstairs to look for him)
Seto: (Calls after her) "Mysty, wait!" (But she doesn't hear him) "He's in the kitchen!"
(Mystrana doesn't hear him so he goes into the kitchen himself)
Seto: "Yami."
Yami: "Yeah?"
Seto: "You have a date."
Yami: (Blinks) "Isn't Mystrana supposed to tell me that?"
Seto: "She's being detained. Don't ask. I'm just being nice by finding you and telling you."
Yami: (Blinks) "Alright, if you say so." (He leaves to go on his date)
(Meanwhile, Malik and Seto sit down onto the couch)
Malik: "I wonder how long it will take her to come back downstairs."
Seto: "Eh, probably not that long."
~~~
(So Yami goes out for his date, and has changed into a clean black tank top and black jeans. He knocks on the door of the house he's supposed to be going and a girl with long white hair, the front two parts tied up with ribbon, and deep amber eyes)
Hikari: (Smiles gently) "Hi Yami." (She is wearing a spaghetti strapped dress, which ends just below the knees and has a fancy bit of lace at the end)
Yami: (Smiles back) "Hi. Your dress is very beautiful, by the way."
Hikari: "Thank you."
Yami: "I was thinking maybe we could go to a restaurant, but if you're not hungry it's ok."
Hikari: "No, that would be great. After that, we could come back here and I could make dessert."
Yami: "Do you cook?"
Hikari: (Smiles) "I cook and sew a lot. It's really fun."
Yami: "I'll bet you're pretty good at both. Did you make your dress?"
Hikari: (Blushes a little) "Yeah."
Yami: "Well, then I stand correct. You're amazing at sewing."
Hikari: (Blushes again)
Yami: (Smiles) "Come on, let's go get something to eat, shall we?"
(They go downtown, and look at a few restaurants, before deciding on a pretty-looking Japanese restaurant that is combined with a lovely garden in the back)
Hikari: "This place looks really nice."
(They go inside, and a girl in a kimono seats them at a small table near the back, where they can see the garden though the big window)
Hikari: "And it smells so nice in here, too, with that lovely garden outside."
Yami: "Yeah." (Looks outside) "It's all very peaceful, isn't it?"
Hikari: (Smiles) "Very."
(After ordering their food, they talk some until their food arrives)
Yami: "If the food is half as good as the view, then we're in for some good food." (Smiles)
Hikari: "Yeah."
(They eat some)
Hikari: "Yeah, it's good."
Yami: (Smiles)
(After they finish eating, they go out to walk around the gardens)
Yami: "So what do you do in your free time?"
Hikari: "Well, I like sewing and cooking, like I told you, and stuff like that, arts and crafts type stuff. How about you?"
Yami: "Well, I duel a lot, and sometimes I help Yugi out with his homework. I mean, I'm not the best with current events or anything, but I do know my math. Kinda. I wish."
Hikari: (Laughs lightly) "You like helping Yugi because he's you?"
Yami: "I guess so, but if, say, Ryou or Joey needed help, I'd help them."
Hikari: "That's a good thing." (Smiles)
(And then they go back to Hikari's house, and Hikari brings Yami to the kitchen)
Hikari: "Here, you can sit down on one of those stools and I'll make dessert. How about cookies? Those would be fun to make and they don't take too long to bake."
Yami: "Sounds great."
(So Hikari makes cookies - chocolate chip - and after they cool, she and Yami each have one)
Yami: "They taste great, to put it bluntly."
Hikari: (Beams) "Thank you."
Yami: "You're welcome, and thanks yourself for letting me take you out." (Smiles)
Hikari: "You're welcome." (Smiles back, blushing very faintly)
Yami: (Lightly kisses her, before leaving)
~~~
Mystrana: "Awww . . . that was so bloody cute!"
Bakura: (Blinks) "I did not see blood ANYWHERE."
Mystrana: "Figure of speech!"
Bakura: "Riiiight."
Malik: "Well, you have a date next." (Holds up list which he has 'borrowed' from Mystrana)
Mystrana: "Ack, how did you get that list?"
Malik: (Shrugs innocently)
Mystrana: "Give it back, please?"
Malik: "Now why should I do that?"
Mystrana: (Pauses, and thinks, and then glomps tightly onto Malik) "Because I won't unglomp until you've promised to give it back!"
Malik: "Ack, ok, ok!" (Hands back the all-important list)
Mystrana: "Yay! Thank you!" (Hugs him tightly)
Malik: (Gasps for breath) "The glomping was almost a preferred choice."
(Bakura, however, carefully sneaks out to go on his date. Smart guy.)
Mystrana: "Wait, Bakura!"
Bakura: "Aw, snap, I though I had gotten away! What is it?"
Mystrana: (Smiles happily) "It's a double date! Take Malik with you!"
Bakura: (Blinks) "I'm dating two people at the same time?"
Malik: (Smacks him) "Idiot!"
Mystrana: "No, see, you'll be going out with one person and Malik with the other. A double date! If Malik had bothered to properly look at my list, he would know this." (Smirk)
Malik: (Grumble grumble)
(They leave together)
~~~
(Well, that all being done and said, Bakura and Malik go over to Jessica's house! Jessica lets them in right away, and they sit in the living room, smiling. Well, Jessica and Bakura are smiling and Malik is just bored)
Malik: "So is this Catalina person coming or not?"
Jessica: (Sweatdrops) "Well, she wants to look really nice, I think."
Malik: "Ah." (Pause) "Whatever." (Randomly plays with a match)
Bakura: (Glances at Malik playing with a match, and then at Jessica) "Well, that aside, what would you like to do?"
Jessica: "Hmmm, I dunno. If Catalina dresses up a lot, we should go somewhere fancy, you know? But I dunno."
Bakura: (Casts around for ideas) "Hummm . . .we could go to a restaurant, walk around in the park, do nothing . . . talk . . ."
Malik: (Randomly putting an idea in) "Tsuki no Hikari ride, maybe?"
Bakura: "Hey, that's a good idea!"
Jessica: (Sweatdrops again) "I think I missed something here . . ."
Bakura: "Don't worry, you'll like this. It's one of Malik's better ideas. Erm, anyway, we'll tell you as soon as Catalina comes down."
(Kinda as if on cue, Catalina comes down. She has wavy brown hair and big brown eyes, and is wearing white dress with reddish tints)
Catalina: "Hi Malik!" (Hugs him) "How are you?"
Malik: "I'm good. Yup." (Smiles)
Bakura: "Alright then! Tsuki no Hikari Ride; moonlight ride, is a boat trip type thing that goes out all night and it's called moonlight because you can see the stars really good and stuff, so what do you think about going there, hey?"
Jessica: "Oh! That sounds like a really good idea."
Catalina: "Yeah, I like it too."
(So they go out to the docks, which just are suddenly there . . . ok, ok, so they've always been there, only no one has noticed until now . . .^.^;;; and get on board the ship/yacht type thing, which is modestly decorated with a bit of an extra flair. First, the four of them go to eat in the dinning room)
Jessica: "I'm amazed . . . this place doesn't seem like a ship, but at the same time I just know it is."
Bakura: (Mutters) "That's what I like about it so much. It's not trying to be a hotel on water, it's just trying to be a nice ship."
Jessica: (Smiles slightly, conveying the fact that she heard Bakura to Bakura)
Bakura: (Says nothing, but smirks back slightly)
Malik: "I like this place. What about you?"
Catalina: (Looks around) "Yeah, it's nice."
(They eat their food, and then sort of wander around for a bit, as the sun starts to set. Then they settle down on benches outside to watch the stars and stuff)
Jessica: "So how have you been, Bakura?"
Bakura: "Me, I've been good. I almost bought a new shirt yesterday."
Jessica: (Blinks) "How come you didn't."
Bakura: "I had money, so I didn't want to steal it, but I wanted to steal it, but not since I had money." (Sweatdrops) "If that made any sense at all."
Jessica: "Hmmm, I think it did, actually. You don't want to be caught stealing something when you have money to buy it."
Bakura: "Right, except I'd never get caught."
Jessica: (Laughs lightly) "Of course, of course."
(Meanwhile)
Catalina: "So tell me, what's the most insane thing you've ever done?"
Malik: (Blinks) "Oh, well, I dunno. I've done a lot of insane stuff."
Catalina: "C'mon, there has to be one thing that REALLY stands out."
Malik: "Well, there WAS that time that I was watching Kaiba's blackmail tape-" (Sweatdrops) "- And I decided to make one of my own. Which was pretty stupid, because that would mean other people would have blackmail on me, but anyhow . . ."
Catalina: "Yeah?"
Malik: "Well, I obviously didn't want mine to be the same as Kaiba's, so I had decided to use - well, it doesn't matter! The important thing was that I was trying to make a blackmail tape, and I couldn't work the camcorder or webcams, so eventually I threw squirrels at them to get them to start, and they did start and . . ." (Trails off) "Well, anyhow, that was the most insane thing I've ever done; chucked flaming squirrels at random stuff in my house."
Catalina: (Laughs) "That's so crazy!"
Malik: "Well, it's true."
Catalina: "I know, I'm not sure whether I should be scared about that or not." (Grins) "Just kidding, by the way."
Malik: "I know."
(Well, so they watch the stars and stuff together, before going back home and then Malik and Bakura have to go so they kiss their dates and then go. ^_^)
~~~
Mystrana: ^__^
Seto: "Yes?"
Mystrana: "Wasn't that adorable?"
Seto: (Pause) ". . . ."
Mystrana: "I'll take that as a yes."
Seto: "Feh."
Mystrana: "Oh, you didn't like that they mentioned the blacktape video, hey?"
Seto: "More fehs."
Mystrana: "Don't be so upset about it!" (Smiles) "Besides, you have a date now, so go have fun!"
Seto: "Yeah, yeah." (Leaves)
(Bakura and Malik come in)
Malik: "Seto looks pissed."
Mystrana: "Yeah, don't worry. He's just pouting."
Bakura: "Ah, ok."
Mystrana: "Hey, anyone wanna get some ice cream?"
Bakura/Malik: (Blink)
Bakura: "I like ice cream."
Malik: "But only chocolate. Vanilla is no good."
Mystrana: "No way; chocolate chip cookie dough is the best!"
Bakura: "Maybe, but Mint chip will always be better."
Mystrana: "Will not!"
Malik: (Pause) "But where and when would we get ice cream?"
Mystrana: "Right now, while Seto's on his date. He won't miss us." ^_^
Malik: "Riiiight."
Bakura: "Hey, I like sugar. Works for me."
Malik: "True. Let's go."
Mystrana: "Ack, wait for me, wouldya?" (Runs after them)
~~~
(Meanwhile, Seto is walking along on his way until he gets to the right house, of which he knocks on the door, and Anna answers, smiling at him)
Anna: "Seto! Hi, how are you?" (Smiles and hugs him)
Seto: "I'm good, and you?"
Anna: "Well, now I'm very happy. Thanks for coming over."
Seto: "Sure."
Anna: "Come inside?"
Seto: "Ok."
(They go inside and sit down)
Anna: "So first I was thinking we could see a movie, and then I thought you probably wouldn't like sitting still for so long." (Smiles)
Seto: "Heh, well, if you want to go to a movie I promise I'll sit still." (Grins)
Anna: "Hehehe, I knew you'd say that. But no, finally I thought, why not we stay here and make dinner for ourselves? We can eat that and then maybe just sit and talk, if you don't mind."
Seto: "No, that sounds like fun. It's something different to do, and different is always good."
Anna: "Always?"
Seto: "Except in the case of someone trying to be 'different' by turning into a fish."
Anna: (Blinks) "Yeah, that's just screwed up."
Seto: "Yup!"
(So Anna shows Seto to the kitchen, and quickly shows him where everything is)
Anna: "So what should we make?"
Seto: "Why don't you decide, since you know what food you have on hand."
Anna: "Ok. How about . . . lasagna? And we can bake some rolls and have a salad or something."
Seto: "That sounds great."
(So they get to work pulling out bowls and the ingredients and preheating the oven and all of that. Seto begins putting noodles to cook while Anna mixes up the filling/cheese stuff - you know what I'm talking about, right? ^^;; - for the lasagna)
Seto: "I'll admit, though, I don't do much cooking in general, so if I burn the noodles, don't blame me!" (Grins)
Anna: "I highly doubt you'll burn anything, Seto, I'm sure you'll do great!"
Seto: "Yeah, but then compared to anything you make, mine will drop down to not-so-good."
Anna: "Which is why we're making this together." ^_^
Seto: "Yeah, we balance it out, I guess." (Laughs)
Anna: "Exactly!"
(After a while, the lasagna is in the oven and Seto is rolling out dough for the rolls while Anna tosses together a quick salad)
Seto: "Ok, picture this if you will! Mokuba woke up one morning and realized it was my birthday, so he decided to try to make me breakfast, and give it to me in bed and all that."
Anna: "Yeah?"
Seto: "Well, he put the bread in the toaster on high and promptly forgot about it as he tried to cook an egg. Seven eggs later and a TON of smoke, the fire alarm went off and I woke up to Mokuba holding a cracked egg and burnt crumbs on a plate for me, and several firemen running around."
Anna: "No way!"
Seto: "Actually, I have to give Mokuba credit . . . that bloody kid was only five at the time. He had watched the cook and thought he could do it too."
Anna: "Poor him."
(The oven goes off)
Seto: "Ack!"
Anna: "Hehe, don't worry, that's just the oven going off."
Seto: "I know, I know. Sorry, certain beeping sounds just make me jump. Gotta be a phobia or something."
Anna: "Beepaphobia?" (Laughs)
(After getting everything set out and stuff, they sit down to eat)
Seto: "This is probably the best lasagna I've ever had."
Anna: "The rolls you made are very good too."
Seto: "I guess there's not much to making a tossed salad either, but it's still good." (Smiles)
Anna: "Hehe, that's corny, but still." (Smiles back)
(They finish their meal, talking and go over to the couch where they just sit and talk until Seto realizes its getting pretty late, and he has to leave)
Seto: "Thanks for the meal and letting me come over." (Kisses her)
Anna: "You're welcome." (Smiles at him and sees him to the door, waving as he leaves)
~~~
(Cut back to Random Insanities - remember, that is the name of the building where Mystrana lives - and there is no one there)
(Silence)
(Yami walks in)
Yami: "Mystrana? Yugi was wondering if he could go get the groceries for this week and -" (Notices no one is there) "Mystrana?"
(Nothing)
Yami: "That's so weird. Where could they be?" (Pauses and notices the all- important list) "Hmmm, according to this I have a date now."
Seto: "Hey Yami."
Yami: "Hey Seto."
Seto: "Where is everyone?"
Yami: "I dunno. I've got a date. See ya!" (Goes off)
Seto: "Dammt, now I'm all alone."
(On cue, Mystrana, Bakura and Malik walk in, all licking ice cream cones)
Mystrana: "No, cookie dough is still the best!"
Malik: "This chocolate is way better."
Mystrana: "No way!"
Malik: "Way!"
Bakura: "Well, I've got you both beat STILL with mint chip."
Seto: (Sweatdrops) "On second thought, maybe I liked being alone."
Mystrana: "Hey! I know! Let's play truth or dare!"
Bakura: "What?"
Malik: "Why?"
Seto: "NO!"
(Cut to a shot of them all in a circle)
Mystrana: "Malik, truth or dare?"
Seto: "How'd we get stuck doing this?"
Bakura: "You've got me."
Malik: "Ummm, dare."
Mystrana: "I dare you to hmmm . . . go up to Yami's room, and 'borrow' some of his clothes and put them on, and wear them for the rest of the day."
Malik: "Even the underwear?" (Grimaces)
Mystrana: (Whispers something to Malik)
Malik: (Eyes go wide)
Mystrana: "Go on, do it."
(Malik goes slowly upstairs)
Bakura: "While we're waiting . . .what did you say to him that made him all scared-like?"
Mystrana: "It's not that bad, but maybe it is for him . . . Yami doesn't wear underwear."
Bakura: "Wait, what?"
Seto: "And HOW do you know this?"
Mystrana: "Hey, be quiet!"
Seto: (Mutter mutter) "Slut."
Mystrana: "Man whore."
Seto: "hey!"
Mystrana: (Innocent smile)
~~~
(Now, on to Yami's date! Gee, what a coincidence . . . ^^;;;; Anyhow, he goes over to a house - oooh, how exciting -_- -- and then knocks on the door. A girl with black hair and dark eyes opens the door. She is wearing a black skirt with a black shirt and also all black make-up)
Yami: "Wow."
Ikku: "Hi." (Smiles) "How are you Yami?"
Yami: "I'm fine. . . wow, you look great."
Ikku: "Hey, thank you." (Smiles again)
Yami: "So, what would you like to do today, then?"
Ikku: "I'm open to suggestions."
Yami: "Heh, why don't we just go downtown then and see what there is there? Maybe we can go out to eat or shop or something like that."
Ikku: "Sure." (She grabs her black coat and she and Yami head on downtown)
(Downtown . . downtown. ^^;;;)
Yami: "Well, where to first?"
Ikku: "I don't know . . . I mean, I'm not hungry, but if you are, we can go ea, I don't mind."
Yami: "Well, I'm not really hungry yet, either, so maybe . . . erm, we could go look around the shops and see if there's anything worth buying before we get lunch?"
Ikku: "Hey, that sounds good."
(They walk around a bit before ending up at a random store, which happens to be a clothing/jewelry type store)
Ikku: (Looking at the jewelry) "Interesting, interesting." (Holds up a small silver necklace specked with red gems)
Yami: (Blinks at a necklace with a pendant of a tiny dragon curled around a miniature world) "Cool."
Ikku: "This one is nice." (Shows Yami a small silver chain necklace with a pendant of a black rose)
Yami: "I'll buy it for you." (Does so)
Ikku: (Takes it when Yami offers it to her) "Thank you." (She puts it on)
Yami: "You're welcome." (Pause) "Well, now what would you like to do?"
Ikku: "Dunno, are you hungry yet?"
Yami: "Yeah, a little. You?"
Ikku: (Nods)
Yami: "Let's go get something to eat."
(They go to a restaurant, and instantly a waitress appears)
Emily (well, gee, who else?): "Hi guys!" (Big smile) "Are you ready to order?"
Yami: "We, erm, just got here. Can you give us a minute, please?"
Emily: (Instantly gets a murderous look on her face) "EXCUSE ME? I ASKED IF YOU ARE READY TO ORDER, SO ORDER!"
Ikku: (Gets up and glares at Emily) "Don't yell at Yami like that! He said please!"
Yami: (Quietly) "It's ok, Emily has problems." (Still looks grateful for Ikku standing up for him, however)
(After a moment, Emily blinks)
Emily: "Oh, no! I did it again!" (Runs off crying)
Yami/Ikku: (Both blink)
(Later, another waitress comes up and they order, and get their food, and eat it, talking about random stuff randomly, just for the random fun of being random. ^_^)
Ikku: "Thanks for taking me here; the food is great!"
Yami: (Smiles) "I'm glad you like it, and aren't too upset about that whole Emily thing."
Ikku: "I guess she's just something to be dealed with in it's own time, you know?"
Yami: "Exactly." (Pause) "I hope you had a good time today."
Ikku: "Yeah, I did. Thanks again for the necklace, by the way."
Yami: "Quite welcome." (He leans over and kisses her) "Thank you for going out with me, and maybe we can again sometime . . ."
(They finish their meal and Yami drops Ikku off at her house before he goes off)
~~~
Malik: (Grumbling, comes downstairs wearing Yami's tight pants and black tank top, complete with the jacket off the shoulders and everything) "Well, there you are. Happy?"
Mystrana: (Claps) "Kawaii!" (Glomps him)
Malik: "Ack!" (Falls over)
Seto: "Get a ROOM, you two!"
Mystrana: "Feh. Be quiet Seto." (Climbs off of Malik) "Ok, Malik, your turn!"
Malik: "Well, that's an easy one. Bakura, truth or dare?"
Bakura: "How about Truth? I don't trust a dare."
Malik: "But you trust me with truth? Alright, Bakura, tell me . . ." (Pauses and thinks for a minute) "Alright then. This morning, in the shower, what exactly WHERE you doing, and . . ." (Pauses, indicated he full well knows the answer, but wants to torture Bakura) "To whose image?"
Bakura: "WHAT? How dare you!"
Seto: (Snickers)
Bakura: "You know perfectly well WHAT I was doing, you bloody pervert."
Malik: "Well, then, tell us." (Smirks)
Bakura: "I was jacking off, ok?!"
Malik: "And to who?"
Bakura: ". . . ."
Seto: (Snickers)
Bakura: ". . . . . . . . . . ." (VERY Quietly) "Ryou."
Mystrana: "How cute!"
Malik: "I knew it!"
Seto: XD
Bakura: "What? He's cute . .. " (Groans)
Mystrana: (Hugs Bakura) "Aww, it's so cute! You like your hikari!"
Bakura: "I do not! I just think he's cute! That means nothing! It could have easily been a girl I was jacking off to, it could have been you even!"
Mystrana: (blushes)
Seto: "You know Bakura, you might not want to stick your foot in your mouth any further."
Bakura: "Feh."
Mystrana: "Anyhow, it's Ryou's turn to go on a date, so while I go find him, you can think up dares or something, you guys." (Leaves)
(Bakura glances at the list Mystrana left behind again - stupid Mystrana -_- )
Bakura: "Crystella? Hmmm, I wonder who she is." (Follows after Ryou)
Mystrana: (Comes back) "Hey, where'd Bakura go?"
Seto/Malik: "No clue."
Malik: "My turn again. Seto, truth or dare?"
~~~
(Ryou is happily walking along the street. Suddenly he stops and pauses, and pretends to look at a little garden, all the while watching someone out of the corner of his eye. Slowly, the person moves to be right behind Ryou, and then Ryou turns around and grins at his shocked yami)
Bakura: "How did you see me?"
Ryou: "You're not that quiet. Why are you following me now?"
Bakura: "No reason. Go away."
Ryou: -_-
Bakura: "Fine, fine, I'll be nice. GO AWAY OR I'LL KILL YOU!"
Ryou: (Facefaults) (Walks away to pick up his date)
Bakura: (Follows)
(Ryou goes up to the door, and knocks. A girl answers the door, wearing jeans and a blue shirt)
Crystella: "Hi Ryou." (Hugs him) "I feel like doing something fun. Wanna go hunt squirrels?"
Ryou: (Blinks, but before he can answer, is cut off by Bakura)
Bakura: (Jumps up) "I do!"
Crystella: (Blinks) "Sorry, but I asked Ryou."
Ryou: (Glares at Bakura) (Bakura slinks away) (Ryou turns to look at Crystella) "Sorry about that; that was my yami, you know, and he always acts weird."
Crystella: "Ahhh, well, still, wanna go hunt squirrels?"
Ryou: "I've never done that before, but sounds like something that could be fun."
Crystella: "I trust you have matches and lighters and stuff?"
Ryou: (Nods) "I confiscated everything from my yami."
Crystella: "Yay! To the park!"
(At the park)
Crystella: "Aright then, let the squirrel hunting begin."
(A little bit later, and several squirrels are lying in a pile, all dead. Crystella and Ryou are lighting matches to put on the pile, when suddenly . . .)
Bakura: "Ooh! Let me help too!"
Ryou: "BAKURA!"
Crystella: "I know what to do!" (Pulls out duct tape and grins evilly) "DUCT TAPE!"
Bakura: (Glances at the duct tape. Eyes grow wide)
Crystella: (Grins evilly)
Ryou: (Smirks)
(One minute later)
Bakura: "Mphgdf! Mphfasfgf!"
Ryou: "What is that, Bakura? I can't hear you . . . . you've got duct tape on your mouth."
Crystella: (Sitting next to Ryou as they watch the squirrels burn) "It's so nice and quiet now."
Ryou: "Yeah."
Crystella: "Well, so tell me, was your first squirrel hunting experience worth it?"
Ryou: "Yeah! I had a ton of fun. Now I see why my yami likes doing it so much . . ."
Crystella: (Laughs lightly) "Yeah, there's always such great satisfaction in burning squirrels at the end of squirrel hunt."
(They both smile and lean on each other, watching the squirrels burn)
~~~
Mystrana: "haha, sucks to be Bakura. Now, who's turn was it again?"
Malik: "I just asked Kaiba truth or dare, and he's taking forever to answer."
Seto: "Feh, I'm just thinking."
Mystrana: (Cough)"Tryingtostallfortime."(Cough)
Seto: (Scowls)
Mystrana: "Well, don't worry, you're ploy turned out fine; you've stalled for enough time that you now have to go on a date."
Seto: "Yes!" (Runs out, bumping into Ryou and Bakura, who are arguing)
Ryou: "Why'd you follow me!"
Bakura: "Shut up!"
Mystrana: (Sweatdrops, then brightens up) "Come play Truth or Dare with us, Ryou! It's Bakura's turn to pick someone!"
Bakura: "It is? Yeah!" (Brightens up) "Mystrana, truth or dare?"
Mystrana: "Hmmmm, how about truth?"
Bakura: "Hmm, how about . . .what's the one thing you need right now more than anything else?"
Mystrana: (Facefault)
Bakura: "Well?"
Mystrana: "I dunno."
Bakura: "You're lying!"
Mystrana: "Alright, alright, I think the one thing I need now more than anything else is something to eat. I haven't had anything to eat except for the ice cream today."
Bakura: (Facefaults)
Mystrana: (Shrugs) "Well you said 'right now' and I'm hungry right now."
Everyone else: (Sweatdrops)
~~~
(Meanwhile, Seto, congratulating himself on his brilliance of stalling for as long as he did, goes up to the door of the house, and knocks. Waits. While he waits, we shall describe his outfit which today right now is a pair of dark blue jeans, blue shirt, and black trench coat. And then someone answers the door, a pikachu hybid with wings someone. She has brown hair and brown eyes to match. She also has black fur and a tail and everything, but still looks like a girl and everything (cat person? Pikachu person!)
Storm: "Hi." (smiles at Seto, tilting her head to one side to smile even bigger)
Seto: "Hi." (Smiles back) "So what would you like to do?'"
Storm: "Any place is good, I don't mind. "
Seto: "Great, I have a good idea then."
(They get into his huge limo and it brings them somewhere . . .erm, how exciting? Well, anyway, where it is going is a bit of a ways off, so the two of them talk for a bit until they get where they are supposed to be)
(When they finally get to where they're supposed to be they get out of the huge limo and it drives off to who knows where to come back just when they need it via some strange, weird power and Storm and Seto are both standing outside of a rather large building)
Storm: (Reads the sign in front) "Anime Convention?"
Seto: "Sure, why not? My fame will allow us to go right in . . . and inside, we can tell everyone we're cosplaying, and they'll think we did a great job. Anime conventions have lots of stuff to do, to buy, to see . . .so what do you think? If you don't like the idea we can go do something else . . ."
Storm: "No way! I think this is a great idea! Let's go in."
Seto: "Right!"
(He goes up to the guy checking people to go in and shows the guy his ID. The guy blinks, and then nods them right in, much to the annoyment, of course, to the others, but then Seto give them all 100 dollars (400 yen or something like that . . . I'm not good with conversions ^^;;;) and so they go in)
Seto: "It's nice in here; although I've never been here, Yami and Yugi have and they said it was really fun."
Storm: "Ok! What should we do first?"
Seto: "Well, there's some cosplayers in that next room, maybe we can go there and watch their skits?"
Storm: "Ok!"
(They go into the room, and currently several people are on stage, dressed as characters from Fushigi Yuugi. They aren't actually acting anything out, but rather singing together)
Cosplayers: (Singing a rendition of 'Itooshii Hito no Tami Ni - For The Sake Of My Beloved) "Itooshii hito no tami ni/ ima nani ga . . .dekiru ka na?/ kanawanai yume wa nai yo! Massugu ni . . . shinjite'ru!"
Seto: (whispers) "They're really good."
Storm: (Nod nod)
(They stick around to watch a few more skits, including on of Seifer, Cloud, Sephiroth and Squall having a huge free-for-all, ending with Yuffie being the surprise winner ^^;; After that, they wander around, grabbing some food to snack on, and end up at a panel)
Seto: "Let's see . . . oh, this one is for censorship on anime."
Strom: (Scowls) "Some people are really stupid when it comes to censorship on anime. I guess I can understand cutting out swears in say, Yu-gi-oh, but still . . . it's not like the kids will never hear them. And getting rid of guns is just stupid."
Seto: (Nods) "You know how annoying it is to have to pretend to be afraid of someone pointing their finger at you?" (Groans) "That was SO annoying!"
Storm: "Heh, meh, I'll bet. At least they don't do that to video games! Could you imagine?"
Seto: "Yeah, but they rate them all 'teen' or 'mature' or something."
Storm: "True, true, but what can we do?"
Seto: "I could buy all the companies and force them to do a good job. I do have more than enough money."
Stotm: (Pause) ". . . . Having that much money is insane, you know."
Seto: (Smiles) "Yeah, but it's all good."
(After that, they walk around a bit, getting complimented on their great 'cosplaying costumes' Seto and Storm both smile and allow a lot of people to take their pictures, and Seto even signs them as himself, causing some people to smile that someone would 'get so into' cosplaying)
(Finally, after a while longer)
Seto: "Hey, you want to head back now? There's not much else here that I think we should see."
Storm: "I think I've seen everything I want to, too. Thanks for taking me here; I had a great time, by the way."
Seto: "You're quite welcome."
(They get into the limo that did indeed just appear and go back to Storms house, where Seto hangs around for a few minutes)
Seto: "Thanks again, and maybe see you again?" (Kisses her lightly)
Storm: (Half blushes/half smiles) "Maybe."
(Seto waves and leaves)
~~~
Mystrana: "I love dates like those! Kawaii!"
Malik: "Quit screaming kawaii and pick someone for truth or dare."
Mystrana: "Very well. Ryou, truth or dare?"
Ryou: (Softly) "Dare."
Mystrana: "Hmmm . . ."
Malik: "Quit taking so long to think!"
Mystrana: "hmm, you just want to see the dare before you have to go on your date, don't you?"
Malik: (Shifty eyes) "Of course not."
Mystrana: (Knowing look) "Well, what do you know . . . I have no inspiration for a dare and will have to continue to think about one for a long while until Malik has conveniently left for his date."
Malik: (Blinks, and then glares)
Seto: (Walks in seeing Malik glaring at Mystrana) "What did I miss?"
Bakura: "Not much. Malik needs to leave for a date in a few minutes, but first he wants to see what Ryou's dare is, but Mystrana is stalling to make sure he does hear. Claims she doesn't have inspiration."
Seto: (Raises an eyebrow) "Claims she doesn't have inspiration, correct?"
Bakura: (Nods)
Seto: (Walks over to Mystrana) (Whispers something to her)
Mystrana: "Seto Kaiba! That dare is . . . " (Trails off, obviously not liking the dare, but at the same time. . ."
Malik: (Glances at the clock) "What is it? What it is?"
Mystrana: (Smiles innocently) "What is what?"
Malik: "Mystrana Shadoweaver! I'll have your head for this!"
Mystrana: "No you won't, and you'd better go on account you're going to be LATE!"
Malik: (Grumble grumble) (Reluctantly leaves)
Mystrana: "Ok, time for your dare, Ryou!"
Ryou: "Umm, ok."
Bakura: "Why did you wait until Malik left, anyway?"
Mystrana: "Well, at first it was just for fun, but then Seto suggested a dare that would have to be said when Malik isn't around."
Bakura: "And this dare is?"
Mystrana: "Ryou, when Malik gets back, you have to go up to him and propose, with a straight face and . . ." (Pauses for dramatic effect) "You have to be wearing a dress."
Ryou: (Blinks) "You're kidding, right?"
Mystrana: (Shakes her head) "Nope! Come on, I'll help you pick out a dress. I have a few that might fit you. You're thin, I'm thin . . . it all works out."
(The two of them go upstairs)
Bakura: "So Seto?"
Seto: "Yeah?"
Bakura: "How in the world did you come up with such a screwed-up dare?"
Seto: (Shrugs) "I just did. That's the way my mind works."
Bakura: "Right, of course." (Pause) "You do realize I think you're quite insane."
Seto: "Indeed. I really don't care. I think you're insane too."
Bakura: "Thank you."
Seto: (Facefault)
~~~
(Meanwhile, Malik, blissfully unaware of what is waiting for him when he gets back, goes over to Kilohana's house. Once there, he dutifully knocks on the door and waits for said door to open. While waiting, he twisters a bit of his hair around his finger, not noticing it is getting tangled. When the door is opened, he tries to pull his hand down, but pulls out some of his hair. After a few scrambled curses, he smiles at the person who opened the door; Yami Kilo)
Yami Kilo (YK): (Is wearing a blue dress with strips of black at the bottom) "Hi." (Pretends to not care so much that Malik is there) "How are you?"
Malik: (Slightly confused, but nonetheless) "I'm good. You?"
YK: "Yeah, I'm good too." (Pause) "Come in?"
Malik: (Pause) "Sure."
(They go inside and sit down, neither of them doing or saying anything, really, until Kilo comes in)
Kilo: "Hey, yami, I -" (Pause) "Oh, I didn't realize Malik was here! I'm sorry, I hope I didn't interrupt anything!"
YK: (Evil look) "Why would you be interrupting anything? Malik and I were just sitting here, and, well, sitting."
Kilo: "Oh come on! You put on your clubbing dress and everything; I know you're just playing with him right now."
YK: (Growls) "Don't say that!"
Malik: "Is she telling the truth?"
YK: (Grumbles)
Malik: "I won't get mad at you, really." (Pause) "I like you, you know. You can tell me whatever you want."
YK: (Smiles happily) "Really?" (Pause) "Wait! No! I mean, yes." (Pause) "I mean, screw it. Do you want to go to a club or something?"
Malik: "Hell yeah!"
YK: "Then let's go!"
(They both leave, leaving Kilo to smile sadly)
Kilo: (Sigh) "They grow up so fast." (Wipes away an imaginary cheer, and then turns around, smiling) "Oh well, leaves the house quiet for me for a bit."
(Meanwhile, Malik and YK head over to a random club, and let's just call it 'The Call Of The Phoenix.' Inside, there's a lot of red, and umm, more red and some black, too.)
Malik: "Hmmm, not bad." (Glances at all the phoenix pictures around the place) "Actually, this place seems really cool."
YK: "it's one of my favorites for a reason! Let's dance!"
(So they do just that, and dance for quite awhile before heading over and getting some drinks from the counter)
Malik: "You dance good."
YK: (Smirks)
Malik: "But I dance better, you know."
YK: "Oh, really?" (Raises an eyebrow) "Let's see you prove that."
(They finish their drinks quickly and then go back to dancing)
(Much, much later . . ..)
YK: "Ack! Alright already, I concede defeat; you are a better dancer."
Malik: "You must be tired to admit that. I wish I had a tape player to record that."
YK: "Feh. Well, I'm only saying it that one time, so that's it. Never again will I admit it."
Malik: "But that's ok, because I know you THINK that."
YK: (Scowls, and then slowly smiles) "You know, though, the sad part is . . . you're right."
Malik: (Blinks) "Of course I'm right!" (Pauses and then moves closer to YK) "But it's still nice to know you think so too."
YK: (Softly) "That would be almost cute if I didn't hate you."
Malik: "But you don't hate me."
YK: "You're right, I don't, do I?"
Malik: "I don't THINK you do."
YK: "Well I don't! So there!"
(And quite suddenly, they find themselves staring at each other, before leaning in and kissing several times)
YK: (Pulling away) "You know . . . I still hate you."
Malik: (Grinning) "Yeah, I know."
~~~
Mystrana: "Hehehehe, isn't that cute?"
Seto: (Gasp) "You didn't say kawaii!"
Mystrana: (Eye twitch) "I didn't, did I? That sucks!" (Pauses) "Oh well!" (Pause) "Ryou, get down here now; Malik will be here any minute . . . Bakura, put that camera down right now!"
Ryou: (From upstairs) "Bakura has a camera? No way am I coming downstairs!"
Mystrana: (Grabs Bakura's camera) "No he doesn't, now get down here!"
(Ryou slowly comes downstairs, in a black dress that goes just above his knees, and is long sleeved. He is wearing a silver belt, silver necklace, silver bracelets, and silver boots. Also, his hair has been partially pulled back with a silver bow)
Mystrana: "There, you look adorable."
Ryou: "Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" (Blushes some more)
Bakura: "I think I hear Malik now . . ."
Ryou: (Blushes even more) "This is so embarrassing."
Mystrana: "You can do it! I'll give you pocky!"
Ryou: "Pocky isn't that good!"
Mystrana: "Yes it is!"
Malik: (Entering) "What are you guys arguing about no-" (Notices Ryou, and blinks) ". . . . Ryou? Is that you?"
Ryou: (Nods and blushes furiously) "Malik . . ."
Malik: "Umm, yeah?"
Ryou: (Gulps) "I . . . I've been keeping this a secret, but yesterday Mystrana found out . . . and now she's making me do this, but I . . . I want to do this . . ."
Malik: "What is it?" (Looks partially freaked out, but also partially interested)
Seto/Mystrana/Bakura: (Watching amusedly)
Ryou: "Well, I guess it would be stupid to try and say anything else, but . . ." (Pauses and then says in a rush, but makes it sounds emotional and all) "Malik, I've been in love with you for a long time and I want to know! Would you do me the honor of marrying me?" (Bows his head and blushes again)
Seto/Mystrana/Bakura: (Watch amusedly for Malik's reply)
Malik: (Blinks) "Well, that's a bit sudden, don't you think? I mean . . . I like you as a friend and all . . . but if you're really serious, maybe we could . . . I dunno . . . geez Ryou!" (Blinks, and notices Ryou is shaking his head now) "What?"
Ryou: "It's ok, Malik, that was my dare."
Malik: "WHAT?"
Ryou: "I had to dress up and ask you to marry me. Which I did, so I think I'll get changed now." (Runs upstairs quickly)
Malik: (Blinks) "HEY! THAT'S NOT NICE TO PROPOSE AND NOT MEAN IT!"
Everyone else: (Sweatdrops)
Mystrana: "Until next time . . . and I promise there will be less yaoi content, it's just that it's so amusing . . . and it doesn't interfere with the dates or anything, right?" (Hope grin) ^^;;;
Mystrana: (Is randomly tidying up around the room; fixing the pillows and vacuuming)
(Seto comes in and watches her silently for a minute before 'aheming')
Mystrana: (Turns off the vacuum) "Ack! You surprised me!"
Seto: "It's not that hard. Anyhow, it's time for dates now, isn't it?"
Mystrana: "Yup! I'm just tidying up before everyone comes and messes everything up, you know."
Seto: "Of course. And when everyone's gone to sleep, it'll be just as messy."
Mystrana: "Maybe, probably. By the way, your new order of chocolate sauce will be in next week. How do you go through it so fast?"
Seto: (Smirks) "That's for me to know and you to *never* find out."
Mystrana: "Yeah, yeah."
Seto: "By the way, your spring break is officially over tomorrow, you know."
Mystrana: (Sigh) "Yeah, I know."
Seto: "Aren't you terribly upset?"
Mystrana: "Actually, not really."
(Malik comes in)
Malik: "Actually not really what?"
Mystrana: "My spring break is over tomorrow. But it's not that bad, because, seriously, even though I love having all that free time, there is a such thing as too much free time, if you know what I mean?"
Seto: "Not really. I'm always busy."
Mystrana: "You are not. And I get bored easily, so after awhile, spring break - or any break for that matter - gets very tedious and boring."
Malik: "I though you were going to write the entire time."
Mystrana: "I wanted to, but even that gets boring."
Malik: "How weird."
(Mystrana goes back to cleaning up some)
Seto: "That's rather unusual, though, don't you think?"
Malik: "That she gets bored easily? Not really."
Seto: "No, that she doesn't like getting breaks from school."
Malik: "Yeah, I don't know about her. That's just almost weird."
Mystrana: "Not really. I love summer break, but the problem with spring break is that when you go back, everything is still waiting for you. Overdue projects, idiot teachers, busy work, no free time . . . it's better to just get it over with, you know? But with summer break, when you come back it's to a fresh start."
Malik: "Ah. Right." (Blink)
Seto: "I'm with you."
Mystrana: (Smiles) "Well, it doesn't really matter now, I guess, so let's see who's got dates lined up yet." (Checks her list) "Yami . . . Bakura . . . Malik . . . Seto . . . Ryou . . ."
Seto: "As usual, correct?"
Mystrana: "Yup, but you guys don't mind, right?"
Malik: (Shrugs) "Why would I?"
Seto: "Yeah, it's not that bad."
Mystrana: "You shouldn't say that, you'll make enemies."
Seto: "Riiiiiight."
Mystrana: "Well, it doesn't matter for you two yet, on account Yami has the first date. Where is he anyway?" (Goes upstairs to look for him)
Seto: (Calls after her) "Mysty, wait!" (But she doesn't hear him) "He's in the kitchen!"
(Mystrana doesn't hear him so he goes into the kitchen himself)
Seto: "Yami."
Yami: "Yeah?"
Seto: "You have a date."
Yami: (Blinks) "Isn't Mystrana supposed to tell me that?"
Seto: "She's being detained. Don't ask. I'm just being nice by finding you and telling you."
Yami: (Blinks) "Alright, if you say so." (He leaves to go on his date)
(Meanwhile, Malik and Seto sit down onto the couch)
Malik: "I wonder how long it will take her to come back downstairs."
Seto: "Eh, probably not that long."
~~~
(So Yami goes out for his date, and has changed into a clean black tank top and black jeans. He knocks on the door of the house he's supposed to be going and a girl with long white hair, the front two parts tied up with ribbon, and deep amber eyes)
Hikari: (Smiles gently) "Hi Yami." (She is wearing a spaghetti strapped dress, which ends just below the knees and has a fancy bit of lace at the end)
Yami: (Smiles back) "Hi. Your dress is very beautiful, by the way."
Hikari: "Thank you."
Yami: "I was thinking maybe we could go to a restaurant, but if you're not hungry it's ok."
Hikari: "No, that would be great. After that, we could come back here and I could make dessert."
Yami: "Do you cook?"
Hikari: (Smiles) "I cook and sew a lot. It's really fun."
Yami: "I'll bet you're pretty good at both. Did you make your dress?"
Hikari: (Blushes a little) "Yeah."
Yami: "Well, then I stand correct. You're amazing at sewing."
Hikari: (Blushes again)
Yami: (Smiles) "Come on, let's go get something to eat, shall we?"
(They go downtown, and look at a few restaurants, before deciding on a pretty-looking Japanese restaurant that is combined with a lovely garden in the back)
Hikari: "This place looks really nice."
(They go inside, and a girl in a kimono seats them at a small table near the back, where they can see the garden though the big window)
Hikari: "And it smells so nice in here, too, with that lovely garden outside."
Yami: "Yeah." (Looks outside) "It's all very peaceful, isn't it?"
Hikari: (Smiles) "Very."
(After ordering their food, they talk some until their food arrives)
Yami: "If the food is half as good as the view, then we're in for some good food." (Smiles)
Hikari: "Yeah."
(They eat some)
Hikari: "Yeah, it's good."
Yami: (Smiles)
(After they finish eating, they go out to walk around the gardens)
Yami: "So what do you do in your free time?"
Hikari: "Well, I like sewing and cooking, like I told you, and stuff like that, arts and crafts type stuff. How about you?"
Yami: "Well, I duel a lot, and sometimes I help Yugi out with his homework. I mean, I'm not the best with current events or anything, but I do know my math. Kinda. I wish."
Hikari: (Laughs lightly) "You like helping Yugi because he's you?"
Yami: "I guess so, but if, say, Ryou or Joey needed help, I'd help them."
Hikari: "That's a good thing." (Smiles)
(And then they go back to Hikari's house, and Hikari brings Yami to the kitchen)
Hikari: "Here, you can sit down on one of those stools and I'll make dessert. How about cookies? Those would be fun to make and they don't take too long to bake."
Yami: "Sounds great."
(So Hikari makes cookies - chocolate chip - and after they cool, she and Yami each have one)
Yami: "They taste great, to put it bluntly."
Hikari: (Beams) "Thank you."
Yami: "You're welcome, and thanks yourself for letting me take you out." (Smiles)
Hikari: "You're welcome." (Smiles back, blushing very faintly)
Yami: (Lightly kisses her, before leaving)
~~~
Mystrana: "Awww . . . that was so bloody cute!"
Bakura: (Blinks) "I did not see blood ANYWHERE."
Mystrana: "Figure of speech!"
Bakura: "Riiiight."
Malik: "Well, you have a date next." (Holds up list which he has 'borrowed' from Mystrana)
Mystrana: "Ack, how did you get that list?"
Malik: (Shrugs innocently)
Mystrana: "Give it back, please?"
Malik: "Now why should I do that?"
Mystrana: (Pauses, and thinks, and then glomps tightly onto Malik) "Because I won't unglomp until you've promised to give it back!"
Malik: "Ack, ok, ok!" (Hands back the all-important list)
Mystrana: "Yay! Thank you!" (Hugs him tightly)
Malik: (Gasps for breath) "The glomping was almost a preferred choice."
(Bakura, however, carefully sneaks out to go on his date. Smart guy.)
Mystrana: "Wait, Bakura!"
Bakura: "Aw, snap, I though I had gotten away! What is it?"
Mystrana: (Smiles happily) "It's a double date! Take Malik with you!"
Bakura: (Blinks) "I'm dating two people at the same time?"
Malik: (Smacks him) "Idiot!"
Mystrana: "No, see, you'll be going out with one person and Malik with the other. A double date! If Malik had bothered to properly look at my list, he would know this." (Smirk)
Malik: (Grumble grumble)
(They leave together)
~~~
(Well, that all being done and said, Bakura and Malik go over to Jessica's house! Jessica lets them in right away, and they sit in the living room, smiling. Well, Jessica and Bakura are smiling and Malik is just bored)
Malik: "So is this Catalina person coming or not?"
Jessica: (Sweatdrops) "Well, she wants to look really nice, I think."
Malik: "Ah." (Pause) "Whatever." (Randomly plays with a match)
Bakura: (Glances at Malik playing with a match, and then at Jessica) "Well, that aside, what would you like to do?"
Jessica: "Hmmm, I dunno. If Catalina dresses up a lot, we should go somewhere fancy, you know? But I dunno."
Bakura: (Casts around for ideas) "Hummm . . .we could go to a restaurant, walk around in the park, do nothing . . . talk . . ."
Malik: (Randomly putting an idea in) "Tsuki no Hikari ride, maybe?"
Bakura: "Hey, that's a good idea!"
Jessica: (Sweatdrops again) "I think I missed something here . . ."
Bakura: "Don't worry, you'll like this. It's one of Malik's better ideas. Erm, anyway, we'll tell you as soon as Catalina comes down."
(Kinda as if on cue, Catalina comes down. She has wavy brown hair and big brown eyes, and is wearing white dress with reddish tints)
Catalina: "Hi Malik!" (Hugs him) "How are you?"
Malik: "I'm good. Yup." (Smiles)
Bakura: "Alright then! Tsuki no Hikari Ride; moonlight ride, is a boat trip type thing that goes out all night and it's called moonlight because you can see the stars really good and stuff, so what do you think about going there, hey?"
Jessica: "Oh! That sounds like a really good idea."
Catalina: "Yeah, I like it too."
(So they go out to the docks, which just are suddenly there . . . ok, ok, so they've always been there, only no one has noticed until now . . .^.^;;; and get on board the ship/yacht type thing, which is modestly decorated with a bit of an extra flair. First, the four of them go to eat in the dinning room)
Jessica: "I'm amazed . . . this place doesn't seem like a ship, but at the same time I just know it is."
Bakura: (Mutters) "That's what I like about it so much. It's not trying to be a hotel on water, it's just trying to be a nice ship."
Jessica: (Smiles slightly, conveying the fact that she heard Bakura to Bakura)
Bakura: (Says nothing, but smirks back slightly)
Malik: "I like this place. What about you?"
Catalina: (Looks around) "Yeah, it's nice."
(They eat their food, and then sort of wander around for a bit, as the sun starts to set. Then they settle down on benches outside to watch the stars and stuff)
Jessica: "So how have you been, Bakura?"
Bakura: "Me, I've been good. I almost bought a new shirt yesterday."
Jessica: (Blinks) "How come you didn't."
Bakura: "I had money, so I didn't want to steal it, but I wanted to steal it, but not since I had money." (Sweatdrops) "If that made any sense at all."
Jessica: "Hmmm, I think it did, actually. You don't want to be caught stealing something when you have money to buy it."
Bakura: "Right, except I'd never get caught."
Jessica: (Laughs lightly) "Of course, of course."
(Meanwhile)
Catalina: "So tell me, what's the most insane thing you've ever done?"
Malik: (Blinks) "Oh, well, I dunno. I've done a lot of insane stuff."
Catalina: "C'mon, there has to be one thing that REALLY stands out."
Malik: "Well, there WAS that time that I was watching Kaiba's blackmail tape-" (Sweatdrops) "- And I decided to make one of my own. Which was pretty stupid, because that would mean other people would have blackmail on me, but anyhow . . ."
Catalina: "Yeah?"
Malik: "Well, I obviously didn't want mine to be the same as Kaiba's, so I had decided to use - well, it doesn't matter! The important thing was that I was trying to make a blackmail tape, and I couldn't work the camcorder or webcams, so eventually I threw squirrels at them to get them to start, and they did start and . . ." (Trails off) "Well, anyhow, that was the most insane thing I've ever done; chucked flaming squirrels at random stuff in my house."
Catalina: (Laughs) "That's so crazy!"
Malik: "Well, it's true."
Catalina: "I know, I'm not sure whether I should be scared about that or not." (Grins) "Just kidding, by the way."
Malik: "I know."
(Well, so they watch the stars and stuff together, before going back home and then Malik and Bakura have to go so they kiss their dates and then go. ^_^)
~~~
Mystrana: ^__^
Seto: "Yes?"
Mystrana: "Wasn't that adorable?"
Seto: (Pause) ". . . ."
Mystrana: "I'll take that as a yes."
Seto: "Feh."
Mystrana: "Oh, you didn't like that they mentioned the blacktape video, hey?"
Seto: "More fehs."
Mystrana: "Don't be so upset about it!" (Smiles) "Besides, you have a date now, so go have fun!"
Seto: "Yeah, yeah." (Leaves)
(Bakura and Malik come in)
Malik: "Seto looks pissed."
Mystrana: "Yeah, don't worry. He's just pouting."
Bakura: "Ah, ok."
Mystrana: "Hey, anyone wanna get some ice cream?"
Bakura/Malik: (Blink)
Bakura: "I like ice cream."
Malik: "But only chocolate. Vanilla is no good."
Mystrana: "No way; chocolate chip cookie dough is the best!"
Bakura: "Maybe, but Mint chip will always be better."
Mystrana: "Will not!"
Malik: (Pause) "But where and when would we get ice cream?"
Mystrana: "Right now, while Seto's on his date. He won't miss us." ^_^
Malik: "Riiiight."
Bakura: "Hey, I like sugar. Works for me."
Malik: "True. Let's go."
Mystrana: "Ack, wait for me, wouldya?" (Runs after them)
~~~
(Meanwhile, Seto is walking along on his way until he gets to the right house, of which he knocks on the door, and Anna answers, smiling at him)
Anna: "Seto! Hi, how are you?" (Smiles and hugs him)
Seto: "I'm good, and you?"
Anna: "Well, now I'm very happy. Thanks for coming over."
Seto: "Sure."
Anna: "Come inside?"
Seto: "Ok."
(They go inside and sit down)
Anna: "So first I was thinking we could see a movie, and then I thought you probably wouldn't like sitting still for so long." (Smiles)
Seto: "Heh, well, if you want to go to a movie I promise I'll sit still." (Grins)
Anna: "Hehehe, I knew you'd say that. But no, finally I thought, why not we stay here and make dinner for ourselves? We can eat that and then maybe just sit and talk, if you don't mind."
Seto: "No, that sounds like fun. It's something different to do, and different is always good."
Anna: "Always?"
Seto: "Except in the case of someone trying to be 'different' by turning into a fish."
Anna: (Blinks) "Yeah, that's just screwed up."
Seto: "Yup!"
(So Anna shows Seto to the kitchen, and quickly shows him where everything is)
Anna: "So what should we make?"
Seto: "Why don't you decide, since you know what food you have on hand."
Anna: "Ok. How about . . . lasagna? And we can bake some rolls and have a salad or something."
Seto: "That sounds great."
(So they get to work pulling out bowls and the ingredients and preheating the oven and all of that. Seto begins putting noodles to cook while Anna mixes up the filling/cheese stuff - you know what I'm talking about, right? ^^;; - for the lasagna)
Seto: "I'll admit, though, I don't do much cooking in general, so if I burn the noodles, don't blame me!" (Grins)
Anna: "I highly doubt you'll burn anything, Seto, I'm sure you'll do great!"
Seto: "Yeah, but then compared to anything you make, mine will drop down to not-so-good."
Anna: "Which is why we're making this together." ^_^
Seto: "Yeah, we balance it out, I guess." (Laughs)
Anna: "Exactly!"
(After a while, the lasagna is in the oven and Seto is rolling out dough for the rolls while Anna tosses together a quick salad)
Seto: "Ok, picture this if you will! Mokuba woke up one morning and realized it was my birthday, so he decided to try to make me breakfast, and give it to me in bed and all that."
Anna: "Yeah?"
Seto: "Well, he put the bread in the toaster on high and promptly forgot about it as he tried to cook an egg. Seven eggs later and a TON of smoke, the fire alarm went off and I woke up to Mokuba holding a cracked egg and burnt crumbs on a plate for me, and several firemen running around."
Anna: "No way!"
Seto: "Actually, I have to give Mokuba credit . . . that bloody kid was only five at the time. He had watched the cook and thought he could do it too."
Anna: "Poor him."
(The oven goes off)
Seto: "Ack!"
Anna: "Hehe, don't worry, that's just the oven going off."
Seto: "I know, I know. Sorry, certain beeping sounds just make me jump. Gotta be a phobia or something."
Anna: "Beepaphobia?" (Laughs)
(After getting everything set out and stuff, they sit down to eat)
Seto: "This is probably the best lasagna I've ever had."
Anna: "The rolls you made are very good too."
Seto: "I guess there's not much to making a tossed salad either, but it's still good." (Smiles)
Anna: "Hehe, that's corny, but still." (Smiles back)
(They finish their meal, talking and go over to the couch where they just sit and talk until Seto realizes its getting pretty late, and he has to leave)
Seto: "Thanks for the meal and letting me come over." (Kisses her)
Anna: "You're welcome." (Smiles at him and sees him to the door, waving as he leaves)
~~~
(Cut back to Random Insanities - remember, that is the name of the building where Mystrana lives - and there is no one there)
(Silence)
(Yami walks in)
Yami: "Mystrana? Yugi was wondering if he could go get the groceries for this week and -" (Notices no one is there) "Mystrana?"
(Nothing)
Yami: "That's so weird. Where could they be?" (Pauses and notices the all- important list) "Hmmm, according to this I have a date now."
Seto: "Hey Yami."
Yami: "Hey Seto."
Seto: "Where is everyone?"
Yami: "I dunno. I've got a date. See ya!" (Goes off)
Seto: "Dammt, now I'm all alone."
(On cue, Mystrana, Bakura and Malik walk in, all licking ice cream cones)
Mystrana: "No, cookie dough is still the best!"
Malik: "This chocolate is way better."
Mystrana: "No way!"
Malik: "Way!"
Bakura: "Well, I've got you both beat STILL with mint chip."
Seto: (Sweatdrops) "On second thought, maybe I liked being alone."
Mystrana: "Hey! I know! Let's play truth or dare!"
Bakura: "What?"
Malik: "Why?"
Seto: "NO!"
(Cut to a shot of them all in a circle)
Mystrana: "Malik, truth or dare?"
Seto: "How'd we get stuck doing this?"
Bakura: "You've got me."
Malik: "Ummm, dare."
Mystrana: "I dare you to hmmm . . . go up to Yami's room, and 'borrow' some of his clothes and put them on, and wear them for the rest of the day."
Malik: "Even the underwear?" (Grimaces)
Mystrana: (Whispers something to Malik)
Malik: (Eyes go wide)
Mystrana: "Go on, do it."
(Malik goes slowly upstairs)
Bakura: "While we're waiting . . .what did you say to him that made him all scared-like?"
Mystrana: "It's not that bad, but maybe it is for him . . . Yami doesn't wear underwear."
Bakura: "Wait, what?"
Seto: "And HOW do you know this?"
Mystrana: "Hey, be quiet!"
Seto: (Mutter mutter) "Slut."
Mystrana: "Man whore."
Seto: "hey!"
Mystrana: (Innocent smile)
~~~
(Now, on to Yami's date! Gee, what a coincidence . . . ^^;;;; Anyhow, he goes over to a house - oooh, how exciting -_- -- and then knocks on the door. A girl with black hair and dark eyes opens the door. She is wearing a black skirt with a black shirt and also all black make-up)
Yami: "Wow."
Ikku: "Hi." (Smiles) "How are you Yami?"
Yami: "I'm fine. . . wow, you look great."
Ikku: "Hey, thank you." (Smiles again)
Yami: "So, what would you like to do today, then?"
Ikku: "I'm open to suggestions."
Yami: "Heh, why don't we just go downtown then and see what there is there? Maybe we can go out to eat or shop or something like that."
Ikku: "Sure." (She grabs her black coat and she and Yami head on downtown)
(Downtown . . downtown. ^^;;;)
Yami: "Well, where to first?"
Ikku: "I don't know . . . I mean, I'm not hungry, but if you are, we can go ea, I don't mind."
Yami: "Well, I'm not really hungry yet, either, so maybe . . . erm, we could go look around the shops and see if there's anything worth buying before we get lunch?"
Ikku: "Hey, that sounds good."
(They walk around a bit before ending up at a random store, which happens to be a clothing/jewelry type store)
Ikku: (Looking at the jewelry) "Interesting, interesting." (Holds up a small silver necklace specked with red gems)
Yami: (Blinks at a necklace with a pendant of a tiny dragon curled around a miniature world) "Cool."
Ikku: "This one is nice." (Shows Yami a small silver chain necklace with a pendant of a black rose)
Yami: "I'll buy it for you." (Does so)
Ikku: (Takes it when Yami offers it to her) "Thank you." (She puts it on)
Yami: "You're welcome." (Pause) "Well, now what would you like to do?"
Ikku: "Dunno, are you hungry yet?"
Yami: "Yeah, a little. You?"
Ikku: (Nods)
Yami: "Let's go get something to eat."
(They go to a restaurant, and instantly a waitress appears)
Emily (well, gee, who else?): "Hi guys!" (Big smile) "Are you ready to order?"
Yami: "We, erm, just got here. Can you give us a minute, please?"
Emily: (Instantly gets a murderous look on her face) "EXCUSE ME? I ASKED IF YOU ARE READY TO ORDER, SO ORDER!"
Ikku: (Gets up and glares at Emily) "Don't yell at Yami like that! He said please!"
Yami: (Quietly) "It's ok, Emily has problems." (Still looks grateful for Ikku standing up for him, however)
(After a moment, Emily blinks)
Emily: "Oh, no! I did it again!" (Runs off crying)
Yami/Ikku: (Both blink)
(Later, another waitress comes up and they order, and get their food, and eat it, talking about random stuff randomly, just for the random fun of being random. ^_^)
Ikku: "Thanks for taking me here; the food is great!"
Yami: (Smiles) "I'm glad you like it, and aren't too upset about that whole Emily thing."
Ikku: "I guess she's just something to be dealed with in it's own time, you know?"
Yami: "Exactly." (Pause) "I hope you had a good time today."
Ikku: "Yeah, I did. Thanks again for the necklace, by the way."
Yami: "Quite welcome." (He leans over and kisses her) "Thank you for going out with me, and maybe we can again sometime . . ."
(They finish their meal and Yami drops Ikku off at her house before he goes off)
~~~
Malik: (Grumbling, comes downstairs wearing Yami's tight pants and black tank top, complete with the jacket off the shoulders and everything) "Well, there you are. Happy?"
Mystrana: (Claps) "Kawaii!" (Glomps him)
Malik: "Ack!" (Falls over)
Seto: "Get a ROOM, you two!"
Mystrana: "Feh. Be quiet Seto." (Climbs off of Malik) "Ok, Malik, your turn!"
Malik: "Well, that's an easy one. Bakura, truth or dare?"
Bakura: "How about Truth? I don't trust a dare."
Malik: "But you trust me with truth? Alright, Bakura, tell me . . ." (Pauses and thinks for a minute) "Alright then. This morning, in the shower, what exactly WHERE you doing, and . . ." (Pauses, indicated he full well knows the answer, but wants to torture Bakura) "To whose image?"
Bakura: "WHAT? How dare you!"
Seto: (Snickers)
Bakura: "You know perfectly well WHAT I was doing, you bloody pervert."
Malik: "Well, then, tell us." (Smirks)
Bakura: "I was jacking off, ok?!"
Malik: "And to who?"
Bakura: ". . . ."
Seto: (Snickers)
Bakura: ". . . . . . . . . . ." (VERY Quietly) "Ryou."
Mystrana: "How cute!"
Malik: "I knew it!"
Seto: XD
Bakura: "What? He's cute . .. " (Groans)
Mystrana: (Hugs Bakura) "Aww, it's so cute! You like your hikari!"
Bakura: "I do not! I just think he's cute! That means nothing! It could have easily been a girl I was jacking off to, it could have been you even!"
Mystrana: (blushes)
Seto: "You know Bakura, you might not want to stick your foot in your mouth any further."
Bakura: "Feh."
Mystrana: "Anyhow, it's Ryou's turn to go on a date, so while I go find him, you can think up dares or something, you guys." (Leaves)
(Bakura glances at the list Mystrana left behind again - stupid Mystrana -_- )
Bakura: "Crystella? Hmmm, I wonder who she is." (Follows after Ryou)
Mystrana: (Comes back) "Hey, where'd Bakura go?"
Seto/Malik: "No clue."
Malik: "My turn again. Seto, truth or dare?"
~~~
(Ryou is happily walking along the street. Suddenly he stops and pauses, and pretends to look at a little garden, all the while watching someone out of the corner of his eye. Slowly, the person moves to be right behind Ryou, and then Ryou turns around and grins at his shocked yami)
Bakura: "How did you see me?"
Ryou: "You're not that quiet. Why are you following me now?"
Bakura: "No reason. Go away."
Ryou: -_-
Bakura: "Fine, fine, I'll be nice. GO AWAY OR I'LL KILL YOU!"
Ryou: (Facefaults) (Walks away to pick up his date)
Bakura: (Follows)
(Ryou goes up to the door, and knocks. A girl answers the door, wearing jeans and a blue shirt)
Crystella: "Hi Ryou." (Hugs him) "I feel like doing something fun. Wanna go hunt squirrels?"
Ryou: (Blinks, but before he can answer, is cut off by Bakura)
Bakura: (Jumps up) "I do!"
Crystella: (Blinks) "Sorry, but I asked Ryou."
Ryou: (Glares at Bakura) (Bakura slinks away) (Ryou turns to look at Crystella) "Sorry about that; that was my yami, you know, and he always acts weird."
Crystella: "Ahhh, well, still, wanna go hunt squirrels?"
Ryou: "I've never done that before, but sounds like something that could be fun."
Crystella: "I trust you have matches and lighters and stuff?"
Ryou: (Nods) "I confiscated everything from my yami."
Crystella: "Yay! To the park!"
(At the park)
Crystella: "Aright then, let the squirrel hunting begin."
(A little bit later, and several squirrels are lying in a pile, all dead. Crystella and Ryou are lighting matches to put on the pile, when suddenly . . .)
Bakura: "Ooh! Let me help too!"
Ryou: "BAKURA!"
Crystella: "I know what to do!" (Pulls out duct tape and grins evilly) "DUCT TAPE!"
Bakura: (Glances at the duct tape. Eyes grow wide)
Crystella: (Grins evilly)
Ryou: (Smirks)
(One minute later)
Bakura: "Mphgdf! Mphfasfgf!"
Ryou: "What is that, Bakura? I can't hear you . . . . you've got duct tape on your mouth."
Crystella: (Sitting next to Ryou as they watch the squirrels burn) "It's so nice and quiet now."
Ryou: "Yeah."
Crystella: "Well, so tell me, was your first squirrel hunting experience worth it?"
Ryou: "Yeah! I had a ton of fun. Now I see why my yami likes doing it so much . . ."
Crystella: (Laughs lightly) "Yeah, there's always such great satisfaction in burning squirrels at the end of squirrel hunt."
(They both smile and lean on each other, watching the squirrels burn)
~~~
Mystrana: "haha, sucks to be Bakura. Now, who's turn was it again?"
Malik: "I just asked Kaiba truth or dare, and he's taking forever to answer."
Seto: "Feh, I'm just thinking."
Mystrana: (Cough)"Tryingtostallfortime."(Cough)
Seto: (Scowls)
Mystrana: "Well, don't worry, you're ploy turned out fine; you've stalled for enough time that you now have to go on a date."
Seto: "Yes!" (Runs out, bumping into Ryou and Bakura, who are arguing)
Ryou: "Why'd you follow me!"
Bakura: "Shut up!"
Mystrana: (Sweatdrops, then brightens up) "Come play Truth or Dare with us, Ryou! It's Bakura's turn to pick someone!"
Bakura: "It is? Yeah!" (Brightens up) "Mystrana, truth or dare?"
Mystrana: "Hmmmm, how about truth?"
Bakura: "Hmm, how about . . .what's the one thing you need right now more than anything else?"
Mystrana: (Facefault)
Bakura: "Well?"
Mystrana: "I dunno."
Bakura: "You're lying!"
Mystrana: "Alright, alright, I think the one thing I need now more than anything else is something to eat. I haven't had anything to eat except for the ice cream today."
Bakura: (Facefaults)
Mystrana: (Shrugs) "Well you said 'right now' and I'm hungry right now."
Everyone else: (Sweatdrops)
~~~
(Meanwhile, Seto, congratulating himself on his brilliance of stalling for as long as he did, goes up to the door of the house, and knocks. Waits. While he waits, we shall describe his outfit which today right now is a pair of dark blue jeans, blue shirt, and black trench coat. And then someone answers the door, a pikachu hybid with wings someone. She has brown hair and brown eyes to match. She also has black fur and a tail and everything, but still looks like a girl and everything (cat person? Pikachu person!)
Storm: "Hi." (smiles at Seto, tilting her head to one side to smile even bigger)
Seto: "Hi." (Smiles back) "So what would you like to do?'"
Storm: "Any place is good, I don't mind. "
Seto: "Great, I have a good idea then."
(They get into his huge limo and it brings them somewhere . . .erm, how exciting? Well, anyway, where it is going is a bit of a ways off, so the two of them talk for a bit until they get where they are supposed to be)
(When they finally get to where they're supposed to be they get out of the huge limo and it drives off to who knows where to come back just when they need it via some strange, weird power and Storm and Seto are both standing outside of a rather large building)
Storm: (Reads the sign in front) "Anime Convention?"
Seto: "Sure, why not? My fame will allow us to go right in . . . and inside, we can tell everyone we're cosplaying, and they'll think we did a great job. Anime conventions have lots of stuff to do, to buy, to see . . .so what do you think? If you don't like the idea we can go do something else . . ."
Storm: "No way! I think this is a great idea! Let's go in."
Seto: "Right!"
(He goes up to the guy checking people to go in and shows the guy his ID. The guy blinks, and then nods them right in, much to the annoyment, of course, to the others, but then Seto give them all 100 dollars (400 yen or something like that . . . I'm not good with conversions ^^;;;) and so they go in)
Seto: "It's nice in here; although I've never been here, Yami and Yugi have and they said it was really fun."
Storm: "Ok! What should we do first?"
Seto: "Well, there's some cosplayers in that next room, maybe we can go there and watch their skits?"
Storm: "Ok!"
(They go into the room, and currently several people are on stage, dressed as characters from Fushigi Yuugi. They aren't actually acting anything out, but rather singing together)
Cosplayers: (Singing a rendition of 'Itooshii Hito no Tami Ni - For The Sake Of My Beloved) "Itooshii hito no tami ni/ ima nani ga . . .dekiru ka na?/ kanawanai yume wa nai yo! Massugu ni . . . shinjite'ru!"
Seto: (whispers) "They're really good."
Storm: (Nod nod)
(They stick around to watch a few more skits, including on of Seifer, Cloud, Sephiroth and Squall having a huge free-for-all, ending with Yuffie being the surprise winner ^^;; After that, they wander around, grabbing some food to snack on, and end up at a panel)
Seto: "Let's see . . . oh, this one is for censorship on anime."
Strom: (Scowls) "Some people are really stupid when it comes to censorship on anime. I guess I can understand cutting out swears in say, Yu-gi-oh, but still . . . it's not like the kids will never hear them. And getting rid of guns is just stupid."
Seto: (Nods) "You know how annoying it is to have to pretend to be afraid of someone pointing their finger at you?" (Groans) "That was SO annoying!"
Storm: "Heh, meh, I'll bet. At least they don't do that to video games! Could you imagine?"
Seto: "Yeah, but they rate them all 'teen' or 'mature' or something."
Storm: "True, true, but what can we do?"
Seto: "I could buy all the companies and force them to do a good job. I do have more than enough money."
Stotm: (Pause) ". . . . Having that much money is insane, you know."
Seto: (Smiles) "Yeah, but it's all good."
(After that, they walk around a bit, getting complimented on their great 'cosplaying costumes' Seto and Storm both smile and allow a lot of people to take their pictures, and Seto even signs them as himself, causing some people to smile that someone would 'get so into' cosplaying)
(Finally, after a while longer)
Seto: "Hey, you want to head back now? There's not much else here that I think we should see."
Storm: "I think I've seen everything I want to, too. Thanks for taking me here; I had a great time, by the way."
Seto: "You're quite welcome."
(They get into the limo that did indeed just appear and go back to Storms house, where Seto hangs around for a few minutes)
Seto: "Thanks again, and maybe see you again?" (Kisses her lightly)
Storm: (Half blushes/half smiles) "Maybe."
(Seto waves and leaves)
~~~
Mystrana: "I love dates like those! Kawaii!"
Malik: "Quit screaming kawaii and pick someone for truth or dare."
Mystrana: "Very well. Ryou, truth or dare?"
Ryou: (Softly) "Dare."
Mystrana: "Hmmm . . ."
Malik: "Quit taking so long to think!"
Mystrana: "hmm, you just want to see the dare before you have to go on your date, don't you?"
Malik: (Shifty eyes) "Of course not."
Mystrana: (Knowing look) "Well, what do you know . . . I have no inspiration for a dare and will have to continue to think about one for a long while until Malik has conveniently left for his date."
Malik: (Blinks, and then glares)
Seto: (Walks in seeing Malik glaring at Mystrana) "What did I miss?"
Bakura: "Not much. Malik needs to leave for a date in a few minutes, but first he wants to see what Ryou's dare is, but Mystrana is stalling to make sure he does hear. Claims she doesn't have inspiration."
Seto: (Raises an eyebrow) "Claims she doesn't have inspiration, correct?"
Bakura: (Nods)
Seto: (Walks over to Mystrana) (Whispers something to her)
Mystrana: "Seto Kaiba! That dare is . . . " (Trails off, obviously not liking the dare, but at the same time. . ."
Malik: (Glances at the clock) "What is it? What it is?"
Mystrana: (Smiles innocently) "What is what?"
Malik: "Mystrana Shadoweaver! I'll have your head for this!"
Mystrana: "No you won't, and you'd better go on account you're going to be LATE!"
Malik: (Grumble grumble) (Reluctantly leaves)
Mystrana: "Ok, time for your dare, Ryou!"
Ryou: "Umm, ok."
Bakura: "Why did you wait until Malik left, anyway?"
Mystrana: "Well, at first it was just for fun, but then Seto suggested a dare that would have to be said when Malik isn't around."
Bakura: "And this dare is?"
Mystrana: "Ryou, when Malik gets back, you have to go up to him and propose, with a straight face and . . ." (Pauses for dramatic effect) "You have to be wearing a dress."
Ryou: (Blinks) "You're kidding, right?"
Mystrana: (Shakes her head) "Nope! Come on, I'll help you pick out a dress. I have a few that might fit you. You're thin, I'm thin . . . it all works out."
(The two of them go upstairs)
Bakura: "So Seto?"
Seto: "Yeah?"
Bakura: "How in the world did you come up with such a screwed-up dare?"
Seto: (Shrugs) "I just did. That's the way my mind works."
Bakura: "Right, of course." (Pause) "You do realize I think you're quite insane."
Seto: "Indeed. I really don't care. I think you're insane too."
Bakura: "Thank you."
Seto: (Facefault)
~~~
(Meanwhile, Malik, blissfully unaware of what is waiting for him when he gets back, goes over to Kilohana's house. Once there, he dutifully knocks on the door and waits for said door to open. While waiting, he twisters a bit of his hair around his finger, not noticing it is getting tangled. When the door is opened, he tries to pull his hand down, but pulls out some of his hair. After a few scrambled curses, he smiles at the person who opened the door; Yami Kilo)
Yami Kilo (YK): (Is wearing a blue dress with strips of black at the bottom) "Hi." (Pretends to not care so much that Malik is there) "How are you?"
Malik: (Slightly confused, but nonetheless) "I'm good. You?"
YK: "Yeah, I'm good too." (Pause) "Come in?"
Malik: (Pause) "Sure."
(They go inside and sit down, neither of them doing or saying anything, really, until Kilo comes in)
Kilo: "Hey, yami, I -" (Pause) "Oh, I didn't realize Malik was here! I'm sorry, I hope I didn't interrupt anything!"
YK: (Evil look) "Why would you be interrupting anything? Malik and I were just sitting here, and, well, sitting."
Kilo: "Oh come on! You put on your clubbing dress and everything; I know you're just playing with him right now."
YK: (Growls) "Don't say that!"
Malik: "Is she telling the truth?"
YK: (Grumbles)
Malik: "I won't get mad at you, really." (Pause) "I like you, you know. You can tell me whatever you want."
YK: (Smiles happily) "Really?" (Pause) "Wait! No! I mean, yes." (Pause) "I mean, screw it. Do you want to go to a club or something?"
Malik: "Hell yeah!"
YK: "Then let's go!"
(They both leave, leaving Kilo to smile sadly)
Kilo: (Sigh) "They grow up so fast." (Wipes away an imaginary cheer, and then turns around, smiling) "Oh well, leaves the house quiet for me for a bit."
(Meanwhile, Malik and YK head over to a random club, and let's just call it 'The Call Of The Phoenix.' Inside, there's a lot of red, and umm, more red and some black, too.)
Malik: "Hmmm, not bad." (Glances at all the phoenix pictures around the place) "Actually, this place seems really cool."
YK: "it's one of my favorites for a reason! Let's dance!"
(So they do just that, and dance for quite awhile before heading over and getting some drinks from the counter)
Malik: "You dance good."
YK: (Smirks)
Malik: "But I dance better, you know."
YK: "Oh, really?" (Raises an eyebrow) "Let's see you prove that."
(They finish their drinks quickly and then go back to dancing)
(Much, much later . . ..)
YK: "Ack! Alright already, I concede defeat; you are a better dancer."
Malik: "You must be tired to admit that. I wish I had a tape player to record that."
YK: "Feh. Well, I'm only saying it that one time, so that's it. Never again will I admit it."
Malik: "But that's ok, because I know you THINK that."
YK: (Scowls, and then slowly smiles) "You know, though, the sad part is . . . you're right."
Malik: (Blinks) "Of course I'm right!" (Pauses and then moves closer to YK) "But it's still nice to know you think so too."
YK: (Softly) "That would be almost cute if I didn't hate you."
Malik: "But you don't hate me."
YK: "You're right, I don't, do I?"
Malik: "I don't THINK you do."
YK: "Well I don't! So there!"
(And quite suddenly, they find themselves staring at each other, before leaning in and kissing several times)
YK: (Pulling away) "You know . . . I still hate you."
Malik: (Grinning) "Yeah, I know."
~~~
Mystrana: "Hehehehe, isn't that cute?"
Seto: (Gasp) "You didn't say kawaii!"
Mystrana: (Eye twitch) "I didn't, did I? That sucks!" (Pauses) "Oh well!" (Pause) "Ryou, get down here now; Malik will be here any minute . . . Bakura, put that camera down right now!"
Ryou: (From upstairs) "Bakura has a camera? No way am I coming downstairs!"
Mystrana: (Grabs Bakura's camera) "No he doesn't, now get down here!"
(Ryou slowly comes downstairs, in a black dress that goes just above his knees, and is long sleeved. He is wearing a silver belt, silver necklace, silver bracelets, and silver boots. Also, his hair has been partially pulled back with a silver bow)
Mystrana: "There, you look adorable."
Ryou: "Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" (Blushes some more)
Bakura: "I think I hear Malik now . . ."
Ryou: (Blushes even more) "This is so embarrassing."
Mystrana: "You can do it! I'll give you pocky!"
Ryou: "Pocky isn't that good!"
Mystrana: "Yes it is!"
Malik: (Entering) "What are you guys arguing about no-" (Notices Ryou, and blinks) ". . . . Ryou? Is that you?"
Ryou: (Nods and blushes furiously) "Malik . . ."
Malik: "Umm, yeah?"
Ryou: (Gulps) "I . . . I've been keeping this a secret, but yesterday Mystrana found out . . . and now she's making me do this, but I . . . I want to do this . . ."
Malik: "What is it?" (Looks partially freaked out, but also partially interested)
Seto/Mystrana/Bakura: (Watching amusedly)
Ryou: "Well, I guess it would be stupid to try and say anything else, but . . ." (Pauses and then says in a rush, but makes it sounds emotional and all) "Malik, I've been in love with you for a long time and I want to know! Would you do me the honor of marrying me?" (Bows his head and blushes again)
Seto/Mystrana/Bakura: (Watch amusedly for Malik's reply)
Malik: (Blinks) "Well, that's a bit sudden, don't you think? I mean . . . I like you as a friend and all . . . but if you're really serious, maybe we could . . . I dunno . . . geez Ryou!" (Blinks, and notices Ryou is shaking his head now) "What?"
Ryou: "It's ok, Malik, that was my dare."
Malik: "WHAT?"
Ryou: "I had to dress up and ask you to marry me. Which I did, so I think I'll get changed now." (Runs upstairs quickly)
Malik: (Blinks) "HEY! THAT'S NOT NICE TO PROPOSE AND NOT MEAN IT!"
Everyone else: (Sweatdrops)
Mystrana: "Until next time . . . and I promise there will be less yaoi content, it's just that it's so amusing . . . and it doesn't interfere with the dates or anything, right?" (Hope grin) ^^;;;
