When Bakura and Ryou finally stop heaving snow at eachother, they realize they're already at the video store. As they enter, a small bell dings above the door. Cardboard cutouts of Santa Clauses and reindeer stand everywhere, saying things like, 'Fourth rental--Half off.' and, 'Christmas specials at counter'. They walk towards the counter where they were obviously to find Christmas movies and Bakura tried to pick one.

Bakura:Hmm... I wonder what this one's like...? Ryou, you pick one. I'm no good with this type of thing. I'm gonna go get some blood and gore, all this happiness is making me sick.

Ryou:Okay, I want this one.

Ryou grabbed a cassette from the shelf. He waited for his evil side to return with more movies. They showed the card and were done. On the way home, Ryou decided to stop at a corner store and buy some popcorn because, 'We can't very well eat it off the strings, can we?'

At home, in Ryou's room, Bakura tried hopelessly to figure out the VCR. Ryou helpfully plugged it in and pressed the power button. He decided to start teaching his other about reading and interpreting so he could better fend for himself. It would be difficult and time-consuming but he believed it was necessary.

Ryou:Bakura, how would you feel about learning to read?

Bakura:I don't have to, do I?

Ryou:It certainly couldn't hurt. You would do much better reading, you may even take to books... Horror stories in page fo-

Bakura:Okay!

And that was that. As soon as the movies were over, Bakura would begin learning to read.

During the first movie, Ryou watched intently whilst Bakura began inventing ways of throwing more snow at once, he was going to get everyone good. He took mental notes during the horror movies and saw that most of the characters seemed to be afraid of ghost and wolf masks... That's how he would get them in position... Later at night, when everyone was asleep, Bakura could be seen sneaking out the back door, over the fence and onto the sidewalk. He was going to the all-night novelty shop, then to the mall. He had made a list on paper of the things he would need...

-Wolf mask

-Stage blood

-Nylon net(or hammock)

-Nylon rope

The next day, Yami Malik turned up on the Q-tips' doorstep. Bakura got a nasty grin on his face and decided it would be okay to have an accompliss to his little scheme. He kicked Ryou out of the house and began explaining.

Yami Malik:So... Is your back yard big enough for this?

Bakura:No, but Seto Kaiba's IS...

***

Everyone but Kaiba and Mokuba had assembled at the burger joint, including Malik and our demon duo. They were all wondering what was going on. Bakura and Yami Malik suddenly stood up, motioning for everyone else to follow, and headed towards Kaiba's mansion. Yami Malik made a quick run for it behind the building before the whole gang was outside, so they figured he'd gone back inside to use the washroom. Bakura led the whole troop to a little place near the edge of Kaiba's immense property, claiming he saw something here a few hours before.

Bakura:It was HUGE!!! I couldn't believe that even my own eyes could be decieving me but it seemed so real...

Everyone stared at eachother, knowing something was going to happen. Yugi suddenly looked up, into one of the four trees that were planted in a square shape. He screamed.

Yugi:Aaaaaaahhhhh!!! There's a monster up there!

And, as they were all staring up, a huge furry thing jumped to the ground, snarling and drooling his blood-red saliva all over them. All failed to realize that it was wearing Yami Malik's clothes and that Bakura had scurried up one of the remaining trees...

WHOMP!!!

A huge mound of fluffy white snow dropped directly onto everyone, slightly missing Yami Malik and the terrified Yugi.

Bakura jumped down from his perch with an incredibly small pocket knife(small for HIM, anyways) and holding his sides for fear they woud burst. Everyone slowly dug their way up and out of the pile of white fluff, scowling and wiping their faces on their sopping wet sleeves. Tea immediately ran for the back door of Kaiba's mansion, knowing the guards would let her in. She could find some towels and dry clothes to change into there.

***

Guard:Sir, Tea Gardener is swiftly approaching the rear entrance, should we allow her access?

Seto:Let her in. Run her a warm bath and set out some dry clothes for her to wear.

Guard:But, Sir, we have no ladies lothes.

Kaiba:She left some in the north guest-room closet. Bring her those and get out of my office.

The guard backed out and hurried to dispatch the servants. Clothes, bath, and towels...

The doorman let Tea enter the house and directed her to the bathroom. He told her a warm bath and dry clothes would be ready in no time at all.

A/N:So it's an old story from Christmas, we could all use some cheering up right now. Plus, I wanted to finish it before starting my new fanfiction. I deleted my first, Tea's new puppy. It wasn't turning out. I also may not update this for a week or two because of personal issues. I hope you enjoyed Bakura's little trick, there'll be more where that came from! ^_^
