Mystrana: "Being sick sucks. I spent all day in bed and couldn't get on the computer to post this Sunday. I'm really really REALLY sorry!!!!" ((Additional note: I wrote this up for Sunday, I just didn't have time to post it on Sunday, because I fell asleep, if that makes sense)
~~~

Mystrana: "Well, it's been a week again, and I think Ryou's gotten over his 'trauma'. Oh, not that he was traumatized or anything by that."

Malik: "Are you talking to yourself again?"

Mystrana: (Sweatdrops) "Ummm, no?" (Checks list) "But there's only six dates this week. SIX!" (Sniff) "I don't think anyone else wants dates."

Malik: "Either that, or you didn't pay attention to the reviews and someone out there is saying 'Damn that Mystrana - Ignoring my date request!' I bet I'm right."

Mystrana: "Well, I guess that brings up a good point! IF YOU REVIEWED FOR A DATE as of APRIL 6, and HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED ONE after this chapter, REVIEW AGAIN, because somehow I messed up and didn't notice it, ok?"

Malik: "Yeah, sure, whatever, doesn't bother me."

Mystrana: "I know it doesn't bother you, but it bothers me if I screw up."

Malik: "Whatever." (Pause) "I'm REALLY bored. Do I have a date now?"

Mystrana: "No, but Bakura does. And then you do."

Malik: "Feh, that's going to be in forever. Let's play a game or something."

Mystrana: (Grins) "How about Truth or Dare?"

Malik: "How about not?"

Mystrana: "Oh well. Get everyone in here and we'll see what we can do, ok?"

Malik: "Fine, fine." (Leaves)

Mystrana: (Randomly pulls the couches in the room to make a circle for everyone to sit down in) (To herself) "After all, sitting on the floor hurts after awhile!"

(Malik returns with Yugi, Yami, Ryou, Bakura, and Seto. They all sit down in a circle and stuff)

Yami: "A game, yes? I shall win."

Malik: "Shut up."

Ryou: "Malik . . ."

Bakura: "Malik is still mad at you, hikari."

Seto: "Whatever."

Yugi: "Hey, Mysty, what are we doing now?"

Mystrana: (Smiles at Yugi) "We're going to play a game, but first Bakura has to go on his date."

Bakura: "Feh." (Leaves)

Mystrana: (Calls to him) "Bye, and have fun!" (Smiles and waves)

Malik: "So what are we going to do then? I'm still bored!"

Mystrana: "We could play Spin The Bottle."

All the Guys: (blinks) "UM, NO!"

Mystrana: (Sigh) "I guess I wasn't too surprised about that answer."

~~~

(Ummm, meanwhile, Bakura, who is blissfully unaware of the who 'choose a game thing' is walking along to the house of none other than PCG - PsychoCatGoddess - and he knocks on the door. PCG - who has brown hair and blue eyes - answers the door)

PCG: (Wearing a pair of black jeans and a matching black sweater) "Bakura!" (Smiles and hugs him)

Bakura: "Hi, how are you?"

PCG: "Doing good! Especially now that I just head the Rurouni Kenshin movie came out to theatre yesterday, so we can go and see it! Do you wanna?"

Bakura: "Kenshin, eh?"

PCG: "Yeah, the one with the red haired guy, Kenshin? And Sanosuke?"

Bakura: "Oh yeah!"

PCG: "So can we go see it?"

Bakura: "Sure, why not?"

PCG: "Yay!"

(They go on over to the movie theatre, and get tickets and stuff. Once inside)

PCG: "Wow, these lines for popcorn and stuff are HUGE!"

Bakura: "Well, we got here early, so why don't we get seats first and then get stuff?"

PCG: "Sounds good to me."

(So they go get seats. Decent seats, of course)

Bakura: "Ok, do you want to make sure no one takes our seats while I get stuff?"

PCG: "Ok."

Bakura: "Anything you want me to get you?"

PCG: "Sprite, popcorn and a little bit of candy would be nice. The candy can be whatever you like."

Bakura: "OK." (He goes out to the lines) (The lines are still freaking long) (He waits)

(Time Passes)

Bakura: (Still waiting)

Previews: (See playing)

PCG: (Still waiting)

Bakura: (Hasn't moved up at all)

(Time passes)

Bakura: (Kills everyone in the room, gets the food, goes into the theatre)

PCG: (As the previews finish) "What took you? Was the line still long?"

Bakura: (Smirk) "It might have been, but it isn't anymore. Sorry for the wait."

PCG: "No problem."

Bakura: "Just, in case you hear any police cars, I might have to run."

PCG: (Sweatdrops) "I don't think I want to know."

(The movie starts and they start watching it. It is a very good movie, of course, because Kenshin is in it, and Sanosuke is in it, and Yahiko is in it and . . . yeah. Anyhow, part way through the movie, they run out of soda. PCG goes to get some, and come back, sweatdropping)

PCG: (Whispers) "Hey, Bakura, how come there are so many dead bodies over there?"

Bakura: "No comment."

PCG: (Sweatdrops)

(However, they finish the movie uneventfully, and go back to PCG to watch TV for a little bit - (Inuyasha is on) - and suddenly they hear sirens. Bakura goes peer outside)

Bakura: "Heh, they're going in the direction of the movie theatre. You know what, I'd better go now." (Sweatdrop) "Just in case, you know."

PCG: (Sweatdrops)

Bakura: "Well, I hope you had a good time!" (Kisses her) "Bye!"

PCG: "Bye! Stay out of trouble!"

Bakura: "I'm trying!"

(He leaves)

~~~

(Back at Random Insanities)

Mystrana: "Hey, I know what we can play!"

Malik: "And that is?"

Mystrana: "Strip poker!"

Malik: (Throws random objects at her)

Mystrana: "Geez! Don't kill me!"

Bakura: (Walking in) "Killing? Where?"

Mystrana: "Don't get too excited."

Bakura: "Feh."

Malik: "Hey, if he's back . . . that means it's time for my date! Yeah!" (Runs out, and Bakura takes his seat)

Mystrana: (Sweatdrops)

Bakura: "Now, what are we doing?"

Yugi: "Strip poker!"

Bakura: "WHAT?"

Yugi: (Laughs) "Just kidding."

Yami: (Smirks)

Bakura: "Now, seriously, what are we going to play?"

Mystrana: "I don't know! With six people here, what should we play?"

Seto: (Leans back) "I don't know either. I think you've got no ideas whatsoever."

Mystrana: "Hey!"

Bakura: "He is right."

Mystrana: "I said, strip poker."

Seto: "And you're the only one who would have fun if you win. A bunch of guys taking off their shirts; you'd love that, but what about us?"

Mystrana: (Devilishly) "Oh, I think you'd be rather happy if Yami took off his shirt . . . or Bakura, if . . ."

Bakura: "Mystrana!"

Seto: "Stop that!"

Mystrana: "Didn't say nothing." (Innocently) "Now, are we going to play, or not?"

Seto: (Grumble grumble)

Bakura: (More grumbles)

Yugi: (Blinks)

Yami: (Shrugs)

Ryou: "I don't know about this . . ."

Mystrana: (Losing patience) "It's either this or spin the bottle and, I swear, I'll have you HAVE to make out with the person it lands on."

(Every shifts uncomfortably, and finally agree to play poker)

Mystrana: (Smiles) "Yay!" (Hugs them all, one by one)

Everyone else: (Blinks)

~~~

(Meanwhile, Malik is going pick up his date. When he knocks on the door, a girl with waist length dark-red/brown hair with golden highlights and dark brown eyes answers the door)

Destiny: (Wearing a red tank top and black pants) "Hi."

Malik: "Hi. How are you."

Destiny: (Smiles) "I'm doing good, and you?"

Malik: "Yup. I was about to go psycho on someone, but I killed a squirrel on the way so I'm good."

Destiny: (Laughs lightly) "What did you do to it?"

Malik: "Set it on fire." (Looks proud)

Destiny: (Laughs again) "So, now that that's out of your system, what would you like to do?"

Malik: "Doesn't matter to me. We could go out to eat, we could go shopping even, or we could go for a walk or something."

Destiny: "Well, it's nice to know you're open to ideas, but how about we just go to a restaurant? I'm kinda hungry."

Malik: "Sounds like a plan. Any place in particular, or should I pick?"

Destiny: "Why not make it a surprise, ok?" (Smiles hopefully)

Malik: "Ok."

(So they go to a restaurant.)

Destiny: "This place looks nice." (Smiles)

(So they sit down and order food)

Malik: "So what do you like to do?"

Destiny: (Blinks) "Well, I play the flute. . ."

Malik: (Blinks) "What kind anime do you like?"

Destiny: "A lot! Inuyasha, especially, and oh - Tenchi Muyo! I love Ryo- ohki! She's a cabbit, you know, and just adorable!"

Malik: (Blinks) "Cabbit?"

Destiny: "It's a cross between a rabbit and a cat." (Sketches it on a napkin) "See?"

Malik: "Oh, ok! Hey, that's kinda cute. And you're a pretty good artist."

Destiny: "Thank you! And Ryo-ohki's owner, Ryoko, is pretty amusing too. She's a space pirate."

Malik: "Space pirate? Now that sounds interesting!"

Destiny: "Indeed."

(So they continue to talk and get their food and they eat it, of course)

Destiny: "So, hey, where did our waiter go?"

Malik: "I dunno, why?"

Destiny: "I'm all out of sprite.. . ."

Malik: "I dunno. Come to think of it, our waiters only been by once to get our orders, and then once to give us our orders. Don't they usually come by once or twice to be polite? Which, of course, is why I'd never be a waiter. I'd set everything on fire."

Destiny: (Laughs) "Maybe you could be a cook."

Malik: "Maybe."

(However, the waiter doesn't come back at all, so after they pay the bill, Malik takes Destiny to a nearby convenience store and buys her some soda. How nice. ^_^)

Destiny: "Yay! Thank you."

Malik: "Yup."

(He brings her home then, and they say their good nights and stuff, and then he leaves. ^_^)

~~~

Mystrana: (Puts down cards) "Whee! I win!"

Bakura: (Puts down cards) "No you don't."

Mystrana: (sighs) "You're right. I don't."

Bakura: (Laughs) "Haha, sucks to be you."

Mystrana: "Well, you didn't win either. Seto did."

Seto: (Smirks) "alright, everyone, I win this hand."

(Bakura, Ryou, Yugi, and Yami take off their school uniform coats and Mystrana takes off the black sweatshirt she was wearing)

Malik: (Coming in) (Blinks)

Mystrana: "Oh, that means it's time for someone else to go on a date!" (Glances at the list) "Ack! Joey? Where is he?"

Mariana's voice: (From the TV room) "He's in here, with me!"

Joey's voice: "Yeah, we're playing with her new kitties! They're so cute!"

Mariana's voice: "Just a shame the dogs don't like them."

Mystrana: "Hey, Joey, you've got a date, though."

Joey's voice: "Oh, ok." (Quieter, to Mariana) "I'll be back."

(He goes out)

Mystrana: (Deals the cards) "Next round you guys . . . I'm gonna win."

Bakura: "Over my dead body."

~~~

(Joey jogs along to the right house, and knocks on the door. Soon enough a girl wearing a long black skirt, leather black knee high boots, a khaki blue tube top, and with her hair in a blue clip answers the door)

Karen: "Hi Joey!" (Hugs him)

Joey: "Hi." (Hugs her)

Karen: "So, what do you want to do then?"

Joey: "Let's go out!"

Karen: "Silly, we are!"

Joey: "Oh, right! Let's go to a club, how about it?"

Karen: "Ok, sounds good." (Grabs a coat and they leave)

(So they start going to a club, and yup)

Joey: "And then she said .. . cheeseballs!"

Karen: (Blinks and then starts laughing) "That's so old, but it's funny."

Joey: (Grins and starts telling another joke)

Karen: "So where do you come up with all these?"

Joey: (Shrugs) "I guess ya just need to be quick with your mind when you're dueling and it helped me make these up."

Karen: "Hey, speaking of duels, would you duel me?"

Joey: "Sure."

(They get to the club and get some soda, and then sit down)

Karen: "Ok, wanna duel now, or later?"

Joey: "How about now?"

Karen: "Ok!"

(They get out their decks and shuffle them)

Joey: "Wanna flip a coin to see who goes first?"

Karen: "Ok." (Joey takes out a coin) "Heads."

Joey: "No, tails, I'll go first."

(They both draw their cards, and have 2000 life points)

Joey: "Alright then. For my turn, I'll put this monster card face down, and also put these two cards face down." (Smirks)

Karen: "Ok . . ." (Glances at the cards in her hand) "Ok then . . . I, too, place one card face down in defense mode, and put another face down."

Joey: "HMmm . . ." (Draws a card) "Ah ha!" (Puts two cards in attack mode) (To himself) "Now all I need is to get the right card next turn." (To Karen) "But for now, I'll attack your face down card."

(He does, and Karen is down by two hundred life points)

Karen: "Ok. I place a new monster card, the Princess of the Moon, in attack mode, and end my turn."

Joey: "Why did you do that?" (Draws card) "Dammit, I didn't get it! Well, next time . . ." (Pauses) "But I'd better make sure my attack is good then, just in case." (Puts another monster card on the field) "And say good-bye to your Moon Princess!"

Karen - life points 1450. Joey - life points 2000.

Joey: (Smirks)

Karen: (Smirks back)

Joey: "Hey, what's up? Why are you smirking when I'm winning?"

Karen: "Because I just drew the card that will end the duel!"

Joey: "No way!"

Karen: "Yes way." (Smirks again) "I'll place a card face down and end my turn."

Joey: "Oh man!" (Glances, and sees he still hasn't drawn red eyes black dragon) "But that's ok, because I can do a direct attack on your life points, ending the game!"

Karen: "Not so fast! Your attack activated my trap card, just desserts. And this card takes 500 life points for every monster you have on the field. Count them. You have four." (Smiles sweetly) "You lose!"

Joey: (Looks) "Oh, DAMN!"

Karen: "Good game though." (Smiles at him)

Joey: "Thanks."

(They put their decks away then, and dance for a bit before going back to Karen's house)

Joey: "Well, I guess I'll see you some other time." (They kiss, before Joey leaves)

~~~

(Meanwhile, at Random Insanities, Seto has only lost his trenchcoat, where as Ryou, Yami and Yugi have lost their coats, socks and shoes, and Bakura and Malik have lost up to their shirts. Mystrana has lost her sweatshirt, socks and shoes also)

Mystrana: "Isn't this fun?" (Puts down cards)

Malik: (Glancing at his cards) "In a word, NO!"

Seto: "It's ok."

Bakura: (Grumble)

Ryou/Yugi: (Shrug)

Yugi: "Well, I won this hand!"

(Ryou pulls off his shirt, Seto takes off his shoes, Yami takes off his shirt, Mystrana does too, and grumbling, Malik and Bakura take off their pants, so they're left in their boxers, ha ha. Umm, yeah. For anyone who cars, Bakura is wearing blue ones and Malik has black ones.)

Joey: (Comes back in, blinks, and heads to the TV room)

Mystrana: (Glancing at the list) "Malik you have a date, and you'd better put some clothes on first." (Innocent smile)

Malik: "Yeah, yeah." (Gets up and pulls back on his clothes, and then leaves)

Bakura: "I don't like this game anymore!"

Seto: "Only because you're the only one losing now."

Mystrana: "Oh well, it's not fair for Bakura to just sit there by himself. Game's over, Seto, you win." (Puts her clothes back on too)

Yugi: "Well, it was fun."

(Everyone pulls on their clothes, and sits around looking bored)

Seto: "Can we ever just have a conversation instead of playing these horrible games?"

Ryou: (Glances at Bakura) "I don't think it was that bad."

Bakura: (glances at Ryou) "Yeah, it was pretty amusing, at parts."

Yami: "You guys are just weird. Come on Yugi, let's go polish the Millennium puzzle."

Yugi: "Ok, Yami."

(They go)

Mystrana: "And so, now what do we do?"

~~~

(Meanwhile, Malik, who is wearing black pants with his purple shirt, goes up to a house and knocks on the door. A girl with long black hair - red tints on the tips of it - and blue eyes answers the door)

Pauline: (Softly) "Hi, how are you?" (She's wearing black leather pnats and a silver shirt, with black high-heeled boots)

Malik: "Hi. Would you like to go out to eat?"

Pauline: "Sure." (Smiles shyly)

Malik: "Let's go then."

(They go to a fairly formal restaurant)

(The Ever-so-popular waitress, Emily comes up)

Emily: "Hi! Would you guys like to order?"

Malik: (Nods) "I'll have the, ummm, I dunno, fish special."

Pauline: "And I guess I'll just have the chicken."

Emily: "Alright, thanks!" (Smiles and leaves)

Pauline: "I hate to be rude, but she scares me. I don't know why . . "

Malik: "Believe me, you have every right to be scared of her."

Pauline: "Alight, if you say so."

(After a few minutes, Emily comes back with their food, and then leaves)

Pauline: "Wow, the service is pretty good; really fast."

Malik: (Looks around) "Yeah, there's enough people here that they have to go pretty fast to keep up, but not so many people that it does seem fast." (Pause) "If that makes any sense."

Pauline: "Yeah."

(They eat their food, talking some. Pauline seems to become more comfortable Malik as the meal goes on. Finally, they are done and decide to leave)

Malik: "Where would you like to go now?"

Pauline: (Smiles) "How about a club? Do you know of any nearby?"

Malik: (Thinks)

Pauline: "It's ok if you don't, I guess I could just go back home . . ."

Malik: "No, I think I know where one is, but it's a bit away, so we'll take my motorcycle, ok?"

Pauline: "Ok!"

(they go outside and get on his motorcycle and head on over to the club. Once there, they get stuff to drink and dance and stuff)

Malik: "You're a good dancer."

Pauline: "Thanks, you are too."

(Well, I guess there's really not too much to say when you're dancing with someone, really)

(So they dance together for awhile, obviously having a good time, and then Malik brings Pauline home)

Pauline: (Hugs him) "Thanks for a great time!"

Malik: "You're welcome. I'm glad you had fun."

(They lean forward and kiss softly before Malik goes)

~~~

Mystrana: (Sighs) "Now it's just boring."

Seto: "You WOULD think that after nine weeks you'd get the picture it's always going to be boring."

Mystrana: (Sigh)

Ryou: "Are you ok?"

Mystrana: "Yeah, I'm just being a pain and complaining. Sorry."

Ryou: "No, I mean you look all pale like and stuff."

Mystrana: "Oh, I'm just cold."

Ryou: (Looks skeptical) "You're wearing a sweatshirt."

Mystrana: "But I'm also wearing a short skirt. Well, I mean, it's just about my knees, but that's kinda like wearing shorts."

Ryou: "Yeah, but Bakura wasn't cold when he was just wearing boxers."

Mystrana: "Your point being?"

Ryou: "I think you're getting sick."

Mystrana: "Nani? No way!"

Ryou: (Shrugs, but in a way that says he's not giving up for good yet)

Mystrana: "Anyhow, what do you guys want to do then?"

Guys: (Shrug)

Malik: (Comes in) "You guys look bored. Mystrana, you look pale."

Mystrana: (Scowls) "I do not. Shut up."

Malik: "Geez, don't go all PMS on me."

Mystrana: (Scowls)

Malik: "Yeah, it looks like everyone's having fun here." (Pause) "So did anyone watch Kenshin the other day?"

Seto: "Yeah, actually. It's a fairly amusing show."

Ryou: (Smiles) "I liked the part with Yahiko and the cicadas."

Bakura: (Imitates Yahiko's voice) " 'There ARE no cicadas in the spring!' " (Cracks up laughing)

(All the guys start laughing, but Mystrana doesn't. She checks her list)

Mystrana: "Hmmm, Yami has a date. Where is he?"

Seto: "He and Yugi went back upstairs, remember?"

Mystrana: "Oh yeah." (takes a deep breath) "YAMI!"

Yami: (Appears) "Yeah?"

Mystrana: "You have a date now."

Yami: "Oh, ok." (Calls up to Yugi) "Be right back!" (Goes to leave) "By the way, Mysty, you look really pale." (Leaves)

Mystrana: (Sighs, and puts on dark lipgloss to make herself look less pale)

~~~

(Anyhow, Yami is walking along to the house, he knocks, etc, and a girl with dirty blonde hair, save for two lighter streaks in the front, and blue eyes answers the door.)

Yami: "Hi."

Kell: (Wearing black tank top, black pants and also and armlet and a thin silver chain) "Hi."

Yami: (indicated the cartouche on her necklace) "That's your name in hieroglyphics, correct?"

Kell: (Nods)

Yami: "So what would you like to do today?"

Kell: "It's really nice out today; we should do something outside, don't you think?"

Yami: "Hmmm, true. What did the weather report say for right now? Sunny skies, highs in the 70's, etc, etc? Well, that seems like perfect outside weather to me."

Kell: "Yeah, me too. Let's go."

Yami: (As they start walking) "Go where?"

Kell: "Anywhere, I suppose, just not a park, ok?"

Yami: (Shrugs) "Works for me."

(So they end up in a small outdoor café place, that has a lot of gardens around it and stuff where you can go and sit and eat and whatnot)

Yami: "How about here?"

Kell: "Ok."

(They grab some food and go out to look for a place to sit)

Yami: "Hmmm . . . rose gardens, greenery . . . trees. . . where do you wanna sit?"

Kell: "How about by the roses?"

Yami: "Ok."

(They sit down on some benches by the roses and proceed to eat the food they got)

Kell: "It's really pretty here, though, isn't it?"

Yami: "Yeah, I'm glad we chose to come here."

Kell: "Yeah."

(they look at the garden together, and then Kell notices an ice cream stand)

Kell: "Oh! Let's get some ice cream."

Yami: "OK."

Kell: (As they head over) "I think I'll get vanilla. What about you?"

Yami: "I dunno . . . maybe .. chocolate . . . what do you suggest?"

Kell: "Cookie dough is always a good alternative."

Yami: "Hmmm, true."

Kell: (To the ice cream person) "I'll have scoop of vanilla."

Yami: "And I'll have a scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough."

Ice Cream Guy: "Here you guys go! Enjoy. Make sure you eat it before it melts; it's getting warm out here."

Kell: "Yeah."

(She and Yami go back to their bench and eat their ice cream)

Kell: "Ack! This is melting pretty fast."

Yami: "Yeah." (Licks some ice cream that was running down the side of his cone)

Kell: "Hehe, you've got some on your nose now." (Points)

Yami: "I do?" (goes crosseyed trying to look at it and then just licks it off)

Kell: "Now you just got some on your chin!"

Yami: "Ack! I don't think this ice cream agrees with me!" (He finishes his ice cream quickly and then wipes off his face with a napkin Kell gives him)

(After Kell finishes her ice cream then, they go back to Kell's house to say good byes and stuff before Yami leaves)

~~~

Mystrana: (Glances at list) "Hmmm, well, the last date for today is a double date." (Pause) "Ryou, and Bakura."

Yami: (Goes back upstairs, calling) "Mysty - you look really pale!"

Mystrana: "I do not! Now, Ryou and Bakura - go on your date so I can get some sleep."

Seto: (Rolls eyes) "And yet you say you aren't sick."

(Ryou and Bakura stand up to leave, and go out. But just before Bakura leaves, he goes up to Mystrana and puts his hand on her forehead)

Bakura: (Smirks) "You do realize you have a fever, don't you?" (Leaves before Mystrana can say anything)

Mystrana: "Feh."

Malik: (Tosses Mystrana a thermometer)

Mystrana: "What's this for?" (Glares)

Malik: (Glares back) "Just see if you have a fever or not, alright!"

Mystrana: "Fine, fine." (Sticks it in her mouth)

Seto: "So, if she is sick, who wants to go out for something to eat, since the kitchen probably has germs, then?"

Malik: "Sure, why not."

Joey's voice: "Can me and Mariana come then, too?"

Seto: "Sure, but you're paying for yourselves, got it!?"

Joey's voice: "Yeah, yeah."

Mystrana: (Can't really say anything cos she's got a thermometer in her mouth)

~~~

(Ok, now, Bakura and Ryou are walking along to the park, which is where they're supposed to meet their dates. Bakura is wearing black leather pants, and his blue and white striped tank top. Ryou is wearing blood red leather pants and a white shirt. Yup ^_^ And at the park two girls wave to them. One has brown hair and hazel eyes; and is wearing a black sweatshirt with flames down the sides. Also, she's wearing an ankle length denim skirt. The other girl we already know - it's Vanessa, and she's wearing a black shirt and jeans. Whew)

Vanessa: "Ryou-chan, how are you?" (Smiles and waves)

Ryou: "Hi, I'm doing good." (Smiles back)

Jewel: "Bakura!" (Hugs him) "How are you?"

Bakura: "I'm good." (Hugs her) "So what do you guys wanna do?"

Jewel: (Holds up a matchbox) "You up to burning some squirrels?"

Bakura: "Hell yeah!"

Vanessa: "We'll just, umm, sit here and watch, is that alright, Ryou?"

Ryou: (Nods) "Perfectly fine with me."

(So Vanessa and Ryou sit and chat while Bakura and Jewel chase poor innocent - just kidding, btw - squirrels around the park, setting them on fire and watching them die painful deaths)

Bakura: (Evil maniacal laughter)

Jewel: "This is great!"

Random Squirrel: "Iy iy iy!" (Or whatever the hell noises a squirrel makes when it runs by on fire -_-)

(A couple squirrels later . . .)

Ryou: (Glances at the squirrel pile) "You guys ready to go to the mall now?"

Vanessa: "Good idea. Bakura, Jewel?"

Bakura: (Glances at Jewel, and then at the squirrel pile) "I guess I'm good to go."

Jewel: "Yeah. We can always come back later, anyway."

Bakura: "Yeah!"

(So they head on over to the mall, and of course the first place Vanessa makes everyone go is the anime/manga shop)

Vanessa: "Come on . . . they gotta have it . . ."

Ryou: "Have what?"

Vanessa: "The .hack//sign game!!"

Ryou: "Is that out?"

Vanessa: "Yeah! I have to get it!"

Bakura: (Glances at some of the manga, like Sailor Moon) "How childish."

Jewel: "Some manga isn't that bad."

Bakura: (Glances at X manga) "Oh, I guess you're right."

Jewel: "Wanna get it?"

Bakura: "I wanna save my money for the arcade."

Jewel: "You WERE a tomb robber, weren't you?"

Bakura: "Oh! Right!"

Vanessa: "Oh, they have it, but it's expensive!" (Points to the .hack//sign game, which I believe is .hack//limit or something .. . .gah, that's not right, I can't remember! Erm, anyhow)

Ryou: "49.99. Or 50. Whichever you'd like."

Vanessa: "And I only have a twenty. Feh."

Bakura: "Oh, don't complain. I'll get it for you."

Ryou: "You're not actually going to pay for it, are you?"

Bakura: "Of course not."

Ryou: (Rolls eyes) "Fine, it's up to Vanessa."

Vanessa: (Sweatdrops) "Well, ok, thanks."

Bakura: "No problem, I guess." (Turns to Jewel) "Ready to go?"

Jewel: "Let's go to the arcade."

(They leave and Bakura doesn't even set off any alarms. Go him. Anyhow, at the arcade . . .)

Vanessa/Ryou: (Playing arcade games. Like DDR. Yay! Can you just imagine Ryou playing that game?)

Ryou: "ack!" (Falls down)

Vanessa: (Catches him) "Got ya! Try again!"

Ryou: "Ok."

Vanessa: "This song should be easier." (They start again)

Bakura/Jewel: (Making out in the corner)

(Anyhow, after awhile, they end up getting bored, and go back to Vanessa's house. Bakura and Ryou say their good nights and give their dates kisses and such. Then they leave, waving, of course)

Mystrana: (spits out the thermometer) "There. See, no fever!"

Seto: (Looks at the thermometer) "Umm, Mystrana? It says 101.3. That would be a fever."

Mystrana: "No. No it wouldn't." (Sighs and lies down on the couch, putting her head on Malik's lap)

Malik: "I told you that you were sick."

Mystrana: (Sighs) "Maybe I am. But I don't like it." (Closes her eyes to rest)

Seto: "If you're just falling asleep, I'll be going now. You wanna come, Malik?"

Malik: "Nah . . . I guess I'll make sure Mystrana's ok."

Seto: "Suit yourself." (Calls) "Joey? Maraina? You guys coming?"

Joey/Mariana: (Run out of the TV room)

Joey: "Yeah! Let's go!"

Mariana: "Feel better soon, Mysty! I'm sure Malik will take care of you!" (Turns to Joey) "Let's go get chimichangas!"

Joey: "Yeah!"

(The three of them go out)

Malik: "Hey Mystrana? Mystrana?"

Mystrana: (Asleep)

Malik: "Not sick she says . . . whatever. Anyhow, yeah, til next week you guys."
