Disclaimer: Oh, how I wish they were mine! I would dance and play and sing so fine. Yet alas, it is not to be, for these characters do not belong to me.

Yami: Not only does she do the wretched disclaimer, she does it with style.

Seto: In verse, even.

Me: Thanks. Glad you liked it.

Author's Notes: Bronze Eagle, yami's_play_mate @_@, and JessiChi got the guest-guess right. (Ooh, a tongue-twister. Say "guest-guess" three times fast and see if your tongue isn't in knots.) Anyway, I think the song is called "It Don't Get Better" by No Authority. If I'm wrong, sorry. I lost the CD case, so I don't know the titles for sure. Anyway, enjoy!

Yugi's eyes bugged out. "Malik Ishtar?! What are you doing here?"

"I'm here for the party!" Malik answered, handing him a present. "Hey, karaoke!"

"Sorry, but you're going to have to wait," Serenity said, stepping up to the machine. "It's my turn. And this is for you, big brother. Thanks for everything."

So Serenity began to sing.

If anybody wants to know

Why it is I feel for you,

Joey, you're first thing on my mind,

When no one else was there for me,

You were always there for me,

Helping me to fight for what's mine.

So, it ain't hard to see,

How much you've done for me,

There's some that never ever find,

Someone who feels so good,

Someone who understood

What's going on in my mind,

It's the way that you duel for me,

It's the way that you're true to me,

It's the way that you love me,

It don't get better, no way, it don't get better,

It's the way that you're there for me,

It's the way that you care for me,

It's the way that you fight for me,

It don't get better, no way, it don't get better,

You taught me when to let it go,

Taught me how to let it flow,

Showed me this, with only your smile,

The way you always cared for me,

Loving me so totally,

I never felt like I had to cry,

So, it ain't hard to see,

How much you've done for me,

Some people never ever find,

Someone who feels so good,

Someone who understood

What's going on in my mind,

In my mind!

It's the way that you duel for me,

It's the way that you're true to me,

It's the way that you love me,

It don't get better, no way, it don't get better,

It's the way that you're there for me,

It's the way that you care for me,

It's the way that you fight for me,

It don't get better, no way, it don't get better,

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, it don't get better,

It don't get better!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, it don't get better,

It don't get better!

No more wishing, wishing on a star,

Cause all I ever needed you are,

You're all I need, so, please, believe, it's true,

It gets no better than you, Joey!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

No, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

No, no, no, no, no.

It's the way that you duel for me,

It's the way that you're true to me,

It's the way that you love me,

It don't get better, no way, it don't get better,

It's the way that you're there for me,

It's the way that you care for me,

It's the way that you fight for me,

It don't get better, no way, it don't get better,

It's the way that you duel for me,

It's the way that you're true to me,

It's the way that you love me,

It don't get better, no way, it don't get better,

It's the way that you're there for me,

It's the way that you care for me,

It's the way that you fight for me,

It don't get better, no way, it don't get better!

Fortunately, Joey didn't faint this time. He came really close, though. And Seto had the smelling salts out and waiting, just in case.

"Great job!" Mai exclaimed, giving Serenity a high-five. "Anyone who publicly embarrasses Joey is cool in my book!"

"And the best part is, I wasn't trying to!" Serenity replied with a giggle.

And then, all at once, eyes shifted around the room. Who was next to sing?

~*~*~*~

Yami: Wow! I never would have suspected Malik would show up at our party!

Seto: Unbelievable, huh?

Yami: Incredibly!

Me: Glad you liked it.

Seto: Can we do another duet?

Yami: Please? sad-puppy-dog-eyes

Me: Maybe. We'll see. Who still has to sing?

Seto: Um.Mokuba, Joey, Tristan, and Malik.

Yami: Whatever happened to Tristan, anyway? You never really see him around anymore.

Me: I don't like writing for Tristan. It's just too weird. Plus, I can't deal with that hair.

Yami: Tell me about it.

Seto: We can barely stand to work with the guy when we film the show.

Me: Dang.

Serenity got her turn at last! What did you think? Good? Bad? Worth continuing? Tell me in a review! Joey the Flame Swordsman is very protective of his little sister, and would gladly torch any flames. So don't flame me. PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!

P.S. If anybody knows anything about Malik, PLEASE tell me in a review! I need to know what song he would sing, the things he likes, eye color, favorite food, anything about his motorcycle, stuff like that. I haven't seen him in the episodes yet (I watch the dub and we're only up to the Yugi/Mai duel), so I'm totally lost. So can someone help me out? I'd really appreciate it!
