Misty: Come on, Karen! ^_^

Karen: Yay! ^_^

TCL: …What do we do with the carcasses of Lance and Will?

Everyone but TCL: Stick 'em somewhere where we can't see them.

TCL: okies. (picks them up and throws them over the Great Wall Of China) Is that better?

Everyone but TCL: Yeah.

TCL: Good.

~MEANWHILE, SOMEWHERE IN CHINA~

Will: Ugh… Lance? O_O LANCE!

Lance: What?

Will: Where are we…?

Lance: ….

Will: What?

Lance: Look behind you.

Will: (looks behind him to see a bunch of Chinese fat dudes in sumo wrestling diaper-type things munching on noodles with chopsticks and staring at Will and Lance)

Will and Lance: …………….EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! (they run away at sheer fright, mostly because of the sumo wrestling diapers. Well, I call them diapers 8-D)

Lance: That was FREAKY.

Will: I'm SO getting out of here. (vanishes)

Lance: HEY! WILL! Please get back here! I wanna go home!

(Will appears)

Will: Ooops, sorry ^_^;; I forgot… *coughnotcough*

(they both vanish)

~MEANWHILE~

TCL: Okay! The card tournament is beginning right…

(Will and Lance appear)

TCL: ….Now…??? Wha?

Lance: Don't ask. (rubs head) Ow.

(Will and Lance take their seats)

TCL: Like I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, the card tournament shall begin NOW! Everyone go!

~SOME TIME LATER~

TCL: And this time's victors are… Morty and Jasmine!

Morty: (bows)

Jasmine: (blushes and waves)

C9Y: (was watching) OH YEAH! GO MORTY! ^_^ (hearts appear around her) Oh, and you too JASMINE! WHOOOO-IE!

TCL: Errrr… okay… Second place went to Karen and Misty! YAY!

Misty: Hey, TCL, d'ja know that I'm an author too? ^_^

TCL: Ya…are…?

Misty: Yup! Shadow-I LUV Ash Ketchum! Just don't tell anyone! Please!

(TCL points to the camera, speechless)

Misty: MEEEP! (sees camera) That is big problem!

TCL: I have the solution! (does some psychic thingie, wiping out memories of all that knew except herself, of course)

Misty: Thankies!

TCL: Anytime, Mist.

Misty: Only Ash is allowed to call me that!

TCL: (gives Misty a skeptical look) Listen, I called you "Mist" because I am a lazy bum and was therefore too lazy to type out the letter "y"

Misty: I doubt it. And because of you calling me that, you ended up having to type this many extra sentences, I mean look!

TCL: …You've got a point…

Misty: Don't I always?

TCL: …Anyway… What's next?

Karen: (tapping her foot on the ground impatiently)

TCL: Oh, okay. Now that our annual card ceremony is over, let us leave! (flies off)

PyroVulpix: What a minor part -_- Well, I'm tired of watching lame card games, so I'm going to go sleep in a volcano somewhere or buy some more cheese nips. (struts out, yawning)

C9Y: HEY MORTY!

Morty: Yuh?

C9Y: (has little hearts floating around her head)

Morty: Me and my fan are leaving! Buh-bye, everyone! ^_^

All: Bye Morty.

C9Y: Come on! (drags Morty out by the arm)

Lccorp2: (sitting in the audience still) Soooo… I'm the only author here now… (Gets an evil grin)

All: (run away)

Lccorp2: Dang. Now there's nothing to do… (turns into an Umbreon) (makes it nighttime) Oh, yes… Nothing like the night… (runs out into the darkness)
