Chapter 1 bloopers
Not Paying Attention: Take One
"And get a look at this. This is quality merchandise for free, here. To think that Ryou's always complaining about needing money." Bakura grinned and glanced at Malik. Frowning when he noticed that his friend wasn't looking at him he raised an eyebrow. "And the pink and purple striped palm trees look simply marvelous in the Egyptian deserts don't they? And you just have to love those blue camels the size of elephants that dance around in your bedroom, wouldn't you agree?"
Malik gave a slight nod, obviously not listening.
Bakura was about to shout when he happened to chance a glance down the sidewalk. A sly grin crept across his features and he walked in silence. After just a few more paces, Malik ran smack into a telephone pole and bounced backwards, falling onto his butt in a sitting position. He blinked, his head swimming and glanced around. His eyes finally came to focus on Bakura, who was practically doubled over with laughter.
"Ra damn it, Bakura! You were supposed to yell and snap me out of it!"
Bakura just laughed harder and harder until he eventually lost his balance and fell onto his side, still laughing, tears in his eyes.
Entering the house: Take One
Opening the door to the house, he stepped into the foyer and pushed the door shut. He then walked to the living room so he could take the side stairs, not expecting Isis to be in there. As he swung the door open and stepped into the room, he was immediately surprised at what he saw...
Mariku was standing there with an apron tied around his waist. He was vacuuming the carpet, pushing the sweeper with one hand, while he held a dust rag in the other hand. Looking up as Malik entered, he switched the vacuum cleaner off.
They stared at each other for a few minutes before Malik put a hand to his mouth to hide the smirk that was forming. Seconds later, a snort of laughter escaped him.
Mariku narrowed his eyes. "What!? I can't help it! This room just isn't clean enough!"
Isis, who was watching Mariku from the couch, looked at Malik. "Oh leave him alone, you know he's really a big clean-freak at heart."
Entering the house: Take Two
Opening the door to the house, he stepped into the foyer and pushed the door shut. He then walked to the living room so he could take the side stairs, not expecting Isis to be in there. As he swung the door open and stepped into the room, he was immediately surprised at what he saw...
"Go fish!" Tristan grinned.
Isis grumbled as she drew a card, while Mariku looked confused. "Now... Explain to me again why Tristan is telling her to go fishing..."
Joey and Yugi sighed and exchanged glances. "Your turn to explain it, Yug." Joey muttered.
Yugi sighed again and looked at Mariku. "It's just an expression... 'Go fish' means that you draw a card, because he doesn't have the one she asked for. It's used, because when you're drawing a card, it's like you're fishing to find the one you want."
Mariku nodded, but his expression was blank. Joey just groaned. "It's hopeless!"
"Now now, Joey." Tea chided. "You shouldn't give up on your friends like that. Keep at it and I'm sure he'll get it right!"
Malik groaned. "What are all of you doing here? This isn't how the scene is supposed to go!" With that, he turned and stormed out of the room and the house, ready to start over.
Entering the house: Take Three
Opening the door to the house, he stepped into the foyer and pushed the door shut. He then walked to the living room so he could take the side stairs, not expecting Isis to be in there. As he swung the door open and stepped into the room, he was immediately impressed by what he saw...
"Wow... That's quite a sculpture..." he mused as he walked in and moved closer to inspect it. It was a rather large sculpture of the Ra Dragon.
Isis and Mariku peeked out from around it, smiling. "Glad you like it." Isis said.
Mariku nodded. "She's been working on it all day. Isn't she just wonderful?"
Malik smiled and nodded then blinked. "Wait a second! This isn't right either! I swear, you'll never get this dang scene right!"
Mariku just grinned. "Awww... Well get it eventually, hikari. No worries!"
Entering the house: Take Four
Opening the door to the house, he stepped into the foyer and pushed the door shut. He then walked to the living room so he could take the side stairs, not expecting Isis to be in there. As he reached for the doorknob, he heard a shout from inside.
"How many times do I have to tell you, always take the jacket off first!?"
"..." Malik just turned around and left the house.
The Fall: Take One
Mariku laughed. "No offense Isis, but your brother is a real moron."
Isis shot him a look and thought for a moment before she smiled and shrugged. "I suppose I can forgive you." She whispered as she leaned in for a kiss.
"Ra, no!" Malik screamed as he grabbed forward and attempted to yank Isis away from Mariku. He hadn't steadied himself or gotten a good grip on her arm, however, so when Mariku hugged his arms around Isis to ensure she wouldn't fall, Malik found himself toppling backwards.
Mariku and Isis practically rolled with laughter as Malik lay on his back, staring at the ceiling with a slightly dazed look. Then, anger and frustration flashed in Malik's eyes as he clambered to his feet. "That's it! I've had it! I'm going to my room, and I'm not coming back until everyone is ready to be serious about this!"
With that he turned and dashed up the stairs, his face buried in his hands.
Silverscreamer steps out and frowns as she watches Malik dash off. Looking at Mariku and Isis, she sighs. "You just had to bug him, didn't you?" When the two just grinned, Silverscreamer laughed. "That was great, you two! I know, as the author and all, I should be very against the bad behavior you two and the others have been showing, but it's just so entertaining!"
