Lizzy: chapter 2 is up and out!
Avari: and it took us all of *looks at watch* 20 seconds! Nice when you have it pre-written isn't it?
YC: gasp! It took us THAT long?? How ever is the poor reader/ readers going to survive?
Lizzy: well it's here now. Hope you guys like it!
~*~*~*~*And Now For Our Feature Presentation*~*~*~*~
YC: *laughs* okay, put on the dress
Ryou: "already? no one else is in there costumes yet"
YC: well we made an exception for you
Lizzy: "sadly, my compassion is kicking in and I cannot allow you to do this to Ryou. we should leave him alone and find sum1 else to torture"
YC: *hands Ryou his dress*
Ryou: *reaches the brink of his fear tolerance and passes out from the pressure*
YC: oh please. *dumps a bucket of ice water on his head*
Lizzy: "we have other fun costumes. let us go find Bakura and give him his little outfit."
YC: great, I can't wait to see him in a stocking cap!
Ryou: *shivers from the ice water and starts to randomly slip in and out of consciousness*
Hungry: sa wha?
Evil: "stewpid weak hikawi!"
YC: wow, he's even evil when he's a chibi!
Lizzy: *sighs and drags a semi-conscious Ryou into his dressing room and puts him on the bed. she hangs the dress up next to the bed and leaves to go torture his yami*
Evil: "how dew yew tink I got da name?!?"
YC: that takes a lot u know
Pointy: (to Hungry) "is my haiw sharp 'nuff?"
Hungry: u needa sharpen I' mor
Pointy: "ow kay! mawik! will wo sarpen my haiw?"
Malik: *evil grin* of course *gets knife from soul room and is about to shear 'Pointy's' hair off*
Lizzy: *clears her throat and holds the conveniently sharp edge of Malik's item to his throat* "as you were 'mawik'"
Malik: kidding! I was just kidding!
Lizzy: *does not move the item* "I'm sure. I think pointy wanted his hair sharpened?"
Malik: *slips the knife up his sleeve* uh, yeah?
Lizzy: *snaps her fingers and the knife disappears* "continue"
Malik: exactly how does one sharpen the hair of someone less then a quarter of your size?
Lizzy: "well I suggest you find out before you upset him. if he starts to cry you would be dead meat"
Malik: *sweatdrops*
Malik: alright 'pointy,' how do YOU sharpen your hair?
Pointy: "fiwst you gel it up weawy good 'til it's all hard and den yew file it to a nice point!" (translation: first you gel it up really good until it's all hard and then you file it to a nice point)
Hungry: *is eating something*
Malik: file it with what?
Lizzy: "this" *hands him a file* "go on Malik knock yourself out."
Hyper: "hungry! stop eating my hair!"
Malik: can I really? thanks! *hits self*
Hungry: oh sowy
Lizzy: *sighs* "it was just an expression nitwit and you'll have to hit harder than that to penetrate that thick skull. now, file away!"
Malik: *is happily unconscious*
Lizzy: *growls* "WAKE UP!" *snaps fingers and Malik is conscious again* "FILE! NOW!"
Malik: kill me now
YC: I would, but you need to watch the chibis
YC: death would be too kind a fate for you anyway
Malik: why me? *starts to file Pointy's hair*
Lizzy: "I need to leave now to work on costumes. I trust that YC will watch you adequately." *hands Malik's item off to YC but turns around as she is about to leave* "I want his hair sharp enough to draw blood when I get back!"
Malik: (thinking) if its your blood, all the better
YC: *glares*
Lizzy: *knocks on Yami's dressing room door* "are you dressed?"
Malik: filing! *goes back to filing 'pointy's' hair*
Yami: "unfortunately, yes."
Lizzy: *walks into his room to find him in his costume. he is wearing off white tights and dorky brown shoes. he has the stupid poofy pants that are the same color red as his hair and a black tunic with puffy gold sleeves. the hat that had gone with the costume had been banished to the shadow realm after a short disagreement with his hair and a fake sword hung around the one and only belt in the outfit.*
Crye: *comes in* well if you want MY opinion...
Yami: "don't you dare say anything Crye"
Crye: but-
Yami: *glares*
Lizzy: *is grinning evilly but isn't laughing* "does it fit ok? and yes the pants and sleeves are supposed to be poofy"
Yami: "Cryelle, as pharaoh of Egypt I order you to keep your comment to yourself"
Crye: *writes it on paper*
Lizzy: "well now I want to no what you were gonna say. spill it Crye"
Crye: I cant
Lizzy: "silly Crye, authoress powers overrule everything. tell me!"
Crye: its the law. I'm still CURSED w/ a person that tried to MURDER ME in the desert... (u guys really don't want to no about this one. It's a novel in and of itself)
Lizzy: "ugh, fine. yami..."
yami: *looks to be trying desperately to keep his mouth shut* "you can say it Crye"
Crye: *rolls eyes and leaves*
Lizzy: "fine! be that way! see if I ever have mercy on you! (foreshadowing!) so, yami is your costume good?"
Yami: "define 'good'"
Crye: I don't need mercy! (doesn't she wish)
Lizzy: *glares* "does it fit?"
Yami: *glares back* "yes."
Lizzy: "good. and just for being fresh with me your not allowed to take it off. you will wear this until I tell you otherwise!"
Yami: *opens his mouth to argue but just closes it again and shakes his head*
Lizzy: *back in chibi room* "I'm back! you can all rejoice now!"
All chibis: *wave little flags and shout enthusiastically* "YAY!"
Malik: *is also waving a little flag (though not quite as earnestly) and he says in a very flat tone* "yay."
Lizzy: *glares but decides that she can torture him later*
Lizzy: (to YC) "so is Pointy nice and sharp?"
YC: "DOES THIS ANSWER YOUR QUESTION?!?" *holds up a heavily bandaged arm*
YC: "why did I let him test it out on me?!?"
Malik: *twirls his item between his fingers* "this thing comes in so handy."
Lizzy: *sigh* "ok everybody, costume time!" *holds up a large pile of poofy clothing*
YC: "lets not forget the hats!" *snaps fingers and is holding a large handful of stocking caps with pompoms*
Evil: "I wefuse to wear dat!" *glares at his costume*
Lizzy: (to YC) "he speaks as if he had a choice in the matter"
YC: "we will remove him from that illusion soon enough"
Hungry: *is swept by a sudden wave of intelligence* "wait a sec. why is my sis' bwind? She got hewr oppewation!"
Lizzy: "which is why the blindfold is part of her costume"
Blind: *is running around blindly (pun quite intended) and crashing into everything from walls to her fellow chibis to 'mawik', who glares at her, no doubt planning to inflict severe pain upon her the moment he is left unsupervised*
Hungry: "but datz not faiw!" *looks to be on the verge of Tears*
YC: "um, Malik! Cheer him up!"
Malik: "WHAT!?! WHY me?"
Lizzy: "you dare question our supreme power?" *whacks him w/ her clipboard* "shame on you! I thought we taught you better! Now cheer hungry up or we will make you 'vewy vewy sowwy'"
YC: *nods in agreement. The millennium star glistens around her neck*
Malik: *tries to use his item to sway their opinion but of course Lizzy has no mind to control (IJ. Yet another running gag that we have where we are always saying how lizzy is mindless/brainless. Have you figured out that we have no lives yet?) and Avari chose that moment to walk by the chibi room and she had her (magic proof) shield up in front of YC b4 he could take complete control*
YC: "good timing Avari! Thanks!"
Lizzy: "ah, yes, tis a good thing Avari was walking by at just the right moment. Convenient, nay?"
Avari: "your welcome, now." *turns on Malik and summons her sword* "I believe
Hungry needed to be cheered up?"
Hungry: *is sobbing at the top of his (surprisingly large) lungs*
Malik: "why me?"
YC: *the Star glistens threateningly at Malik* "that's MY quote, you're NOT allowed to steal it!"
Evil: "I couwd! Bow to da maswer feef!" (translation: I could! Bow to the master thief!)
YC: *picks him up by the scruff of his incredibly small neck, holding him at eye level. He kicks and screams curses at her but can do nothing b/c he's so much smaller than she* "not so much a 'feef' now, aren't we?"
Evil: *tries to bite YC's nose*
YC: "hmm. Perhaps that nickname of Joey's should be transferred to you, puppy"
Evil: *it was amazing how even as a chibi he could do such bone chilling death glares*
YC: *grins placidly* "Crye is my yami, do you really think death glares work on me?"
Lizzy: "here, hand off. I want to talk to him alone for a sec. I'll get him into his costume."
YC: so, what are you gonna threaten him with?
Lizzy: "if you don't mind, I'd like to keep that between him and myself."
Crye: *walking in* which means she can't think of anything.
Bakura: "if it isn't phawaoh's swave! How is etewnal life tweating yew?" (translation: if it isn't pharaoh's slave! How is eternal life treating you?)
Lizzy: "very funny Evil. Now, unless any of you have a problem with it, I'm going to take our little friend and have a little chat with him."
Crye: but I wanna be the one to pound his miniscule face into the ground. *cracks knuckles* I don't want to be out of practice.*mutters* Pharaoh's slave my foot.he needs to be taught a lesson he WON'T forget in a hurry, and I think I'm just the right Teacher.
YC: CRYELLE! BEHAVE!
Crye: O.O was that ASSERTIVNESS I heard in your voice?
Lizzy: "sorry Crye, I get to talk with him first and put him in his costume then you can beat his face in." *holds her hand out to YC* "may I have the evil one?"
Crye: *w/ her ultimate death glare on her face* (to 'evil') ill be waiting. If you hadn't already died and you survived this, I would be VERY surprised. *turns on her heel and walks out of the room*
YC: *sighs* yamis. *hands 'evil' to Lizzy*
Lizzy: "thank you!" *drags a kicking and swearing chibi Bakura into a back room (that appeared out of nowhere for no apparent reason). Much swearing (Egyptian and otherwise) can be heard from beyond the door, accompanied by no few loud crashes. Then, all of a sudden the noise stops.*
Evil: *walks out of the room with a very sour look on his face but he is in the costume. His stocking cap is a very bright yellow and his tights are deep purple. he is in stupid shoes not unlike yami's but his are bright yellow to match his hat. Poofy shorts of the same vivid yellow and a tunic of the same shade with poofy royal purple sleeve and buttons complete the outfit. An eyesore would be a nice way of describing how he looks and the brightness of the yellow accompanied by the overall ugliness of it make it very hard to look at for too long.* "don't awny of yew dawe say anyting!" *he proceeds to pout as Lizzy walks out after him grinning broadly*
All, except Evil and Blind: *burst out laughing*
Blind: Hungry, wha iz evee won laffing at? (remember, she can't see)
Hungry: *between peels of laughter* evil wooks so FUNNY!!!!
Blind: wha does ee wook wike?
Hungry: eva twied wooking into da sun?
Evil: *death glares at them all but his furious gaze pauses on Malik. (IJ dead ahead! In our chats whenever I play Bakura and he gets angry at someone he will promise himself to torture them endlessly/kill them when he is ruler of the universe) He promises himself that Malik will pay (and he is not waiting until he is ruler of the universe to get his revenge for THIS) * "may yew awl buwn in-" *but he falters, remembering what he had been told in the back room. He settles for thinking all of his comments furiously and imagining the reactions of those they were targeted at. He found the reactions of Malik, Ryou, Crye, and Lizzy to be exceptionally amusing*
Avari: "well something you told him must have sunk in."
Lizzy: *just grins* "we shouldn't have too many more problems from him for a while"
YC: *is tapping her foot impatiently outside Hyper's dressing room* are you DONE yet?
Hyper: I am NOT coming out!
YC: come ON Mokuba, it can't be THAT bad. Just wait until you get a good look a
Bakura.*snickers*
Hyper: yes, I'm sure it's QUITE amusing, but you'll just have to do this without me, 'cause you CAN'T make me come out!
YC: *smirks* oh really? Would you bet on that?
Hyper: y-*stops to think it over* no.
YC: good. Then come out!
Hyper: exactly what amount of money would let me stay in here?
YC: more than you would ever.oh, wait.I walked right into that one didn't I?
Hyper: *even though the door separates their line of vision, YC can tell Mokuba is smirking behind it* yes, you did.
YC: grrrr! Bribery won't work on me, kid, you should know that by now.
Hyper: you sound like Seto.
YC: thanks. At least one of us does.
Hyper: -.- why can't I just stay in here?
YC: look, kid, I'm getting REALLY tired of arguing with you. Now I'll give you one more chance, get your butt out here or suffer the consequences!
Hyper: *considers blackmail options, but then decides to use them when it comes time to do the actual acting* oh all right, but you better not laugh.
YC: that's just what Bakura said, and it didn't stop us from laughing. Just get out here before I make you regret it *can't really do anything to him because 1) they need him and 2) Seto would kill her, but is not about to tell Mokuba that*
Hyper: *huffs* fine! *the door opens slowly and Mokuba stands there with his arms folded over his chest, pouting. He is dressed from his stocking cap to his extremely dorky shoes in red and white strips* this is so degrading! I look like a candy cane! *sticks out his lower lip* I can't believe you're making me do this.
YC: *might possibly have pitied him if the kid hadn't been so much of a pain earlier* too bad, so sad. Now GET OUT THERE! *pushes him towards the door to the chibi room*
*Lizzy, Avari and Crye had done a pretty good job of getting most of the others into their costumes. Hungry was bedecked in florescent green and blind was sitting next to him boasting the one and only decent looking outfit which was all white (even the blindfold). Pointy had presented an issue because his hair kept ripping his stocking cap, so Malik had been forced to dull his point. This had kind of worked but then pointy wouldn't stop complaining that he wasn't 'sawp 'nuff'! a general compromise was made in the form of a hole in the hat for his hair to poke though. After this had been resolved Malik, much to his dismay, had been forced to re-sharpen pointy while the little chibi admired his brown costume (that resembled his former trench coat in color). Tea was (much to everyone's disgust) happily dressed in all different shades of (*shudder*) pink. She seemed to take great amusement in sneaking up behind evil and giving him a hug just to get his bug-eyed reaction. Evil could do nothing about this though, because whatever Lizzy had said to him was still keeping him under control. Victor was nowhere in sight, for Lizzy was having similar problems with him as YC had had with hyper. The reaction to hyper walking in dressed as a candy cane got the same reaction from everyone in the room.*
all but hyper: *burst out laughing*
Crye: *giggle* oh look! It's the *snicker* human candy cane!
Hungry: food? WHEWRE???? *sees 'hyper'* CANDY!!!! *tries to eat Hyper (for the second time in the fic)*
Hyper: GET OFF! *pokes Hungry who then falls to the ground looking like he's about to cry*
Evil: haha, da puppy is WEAK!
YC: (calmly) I believe you just insulted yourself, evil.
Hungry: (this is going to be his most commonly used line, by the way) I HUNGWY! I WAN' FOOD!
Other chibis: *take up the cry*
Chibis: "FOOD! FOOD! FOOD!"
Avari: "Malik, I believe that would be your cue."
Malik: WHY M-*catches a death glare from YC* *growls* what God did I offend?
Crye: *looks at him threateningly* MY quote, Malik.
Malik: WHAT???? Is there ANYTHING I can say without insulting you???
Avari: "your presence insults us Malik"
Crye: which explains why all the chibis hate you.
Malik: *growls* when I'M in charge.
YC: (cuts him off) which will NEVER happen so long as we're around.
Malik: .all of you will be SO sorry you EVER insulted me in the first place! Just wait until you get lost in MY realm.
Crye: *scoffs* the Shadow Realm is hardly yours, Malik. You just seem to like to think so.
(now let us join Lizzy and Yugi in their little. tiff, if you will) Lizzy: "HAUL YOUR CARCASS OUT HERE OR YOUR HAIR WILL REGRET IT!"
Yugi: "but u said my hair was sacred!"
Lizzy: "MINOR DETAIL! GET OUT HERE, NOW!"
Yugi: "no! you'll make fun of me!"
Lizzy: "so what else is new? I made the costume just so people could laugh at u. everyone else is like this too. Just get out here!"
Yugi: "but my fragile psyche can't handle being laughed at!"
Lizzy: "and I should care because?"
Yugi: *even though Lizzy can't see him his voice makes it obvious that he is in Tears* "you can't make me come out! I don't care what try to do to me! Yami will protect me!"
Lizzy: *has to try really hard not to give in to her pity* "Yami is not in any position to do that! He looks just as stupid as you do, trust me I know. Why else would he still be sulking in his dressing room? Just be glad that your not stuck in the dress and get out here!"
Yugi: *sniffle* "promise you won't laugh?"
Lizzy: "no!"
Yugi: "then I'm not coming out!"
Lizzy: "grrrrrrr. fine! I won't laugh if you'll just get out here!" *doesn't add that she can't make any promises about the others.*
Yugi: *cracks the door open slightly and one violet eye peers out* "promise?"
Lizzy: *has to count to ten to avoid exploding at the little guy* "yes I promise now get out here we need to get this started." *it wasn't like she didn't have enough problems to deal with seeing as their lead character was still out cold. Making bothersome vertically challenged teenagers who are embarrassed to be seen in their costumes was one of the last things she needed to be doing right now*
Yugi: *sighs in relief and opens the door all the way. Like Bakura, he had been given a yellow costume but his was more of a gold than the florescent ensemble that 'evil' had been forced into. As always he was wearing dorky shoes, stupid poofy pants and a tunic with poofy sleeves. He had been spared the shame of a stocking hat because Lizzy couldn't make herself force a hat onto his sacred hair but the bells that covered his costume more than made up for that. Yugi's shoes, pants and tunic were gold and his tights and sleeves were black. The horizontal black stripe in the center of his tunic only added to the effect of making the height impaired teenager look like a bee. If yami had any pride left to shred seeing his hikari in the belled bumble bee costume would surely do the trick.*
Lizzy: *it took every shred of will power for her to be able to keep her promise but there was nothing she could do about the laughter that shone in her eyes.*
Yugi: *started to Tear up again. He could tell that Lizzy wanted to laugh at him. Lizzy had a talent for being able to laugh at someone without making a sound.*
Lizzy: "don't even start crying on me. I'm not in the mood for dealing with tears! just get in there and get it over with!" *quite literally tosses him into the chibi room*
All: *simultaneously look up at the flying midget above them. everyone is silent for a few seconds, but then everyone but "the human bumble bee" started laughing*
Victor: *has gone a shade of brilliant red to rival his hair and Tears begin to well up in his eyes* IT'S NOT FUNNY!
All: *continue to laugh*
Yami: *pokes his head in* what's so funny? *gasps when he sees Yugi* what have you done to him!?! *rushes over to his hikari and attempts to comfort him* there there. just ignore them. it'll be ok, I promise. *glares around the room* stop laughing at him! can't you see he's embarrassed enough! leave him alone!
All: *take no notice and continue their hysterical fits of laughter*
Crye: *doubles over laughing*
Yami: *whirls on Crye with fury burning in his eyes. his third eye blazes on his forehead* CRYELLE! HOW DARE YOU LAUGH AT HIM!?! I COMMAND YOU TO STOP THIS INSTANT!
Crye: *if she could stop reluctantly she would've, but she stopped immediately, scowling at her "master"* would you rather I be laughing at you?
Yami: *still furious* don't you look at me like that! Yugi is very sensitive about these things!
Crye: *really wants to glare at Yami but closes her eyes and turns her head* (quietly) stop doing that.
Yami: *if possible, even angrier than before* what was that? Maybe I didn't hear you correctly, but for a moment I thought you actually tried to tell ME what to do.
Crye: STOP IT! *looks up at him with that rebellious look of an unwilling teenager* (quieter now) just.stop.
Yami: *would have yelled at her some more but his fury now seems to be beyond words*
Yugi: *is still sobbing into Yami's shoulder, er, um. side. He isn't tall enough to sob into Yami's shoulder*
Crye: *lip trembles ever so slightly* I'm sick of you telling me what to do and getting it all the time! Stop ordering me around! *closes her eyes tightly, wishing for it all to just go away*
Yami: *it takes a moment for the absurdity of this request to sink in. after he realizes that he wasn't hearing things and gets over the initial shock, he tries to find a way to counter it. whatever strange force of luck that allowed him to draw the exact card he needed in every duel he had ever been in though was not with him at the moment, because all he could do was stand there gaping and stuttering things like* well. if you would just. but I can't.
Crye: *has never even thought of saying what she is about to say and doesn't even know if she can, but somehow the words come to her effortlessly, it seemed the tide of the conversation had turned* Yami, all my life I've been looking up to you because you forced me to. I've been doing what you say for the past 5000 years now and I'm getting tired of it. think about it, Yami. You've always been "Pharaoh" or "master" to me and you wonder why I would always refuse to refer to you as "friend." Its because you wouldn't let me. Picture what it would be like to live like I do. Do you think YOU, the all powerful, god-like human could stand up to it? No. You and I both know that. So just leave me alone! *runs out of the room* (I'm really sorry to all you reviewers out there, it's just Crye's character to be doing something so dangerously close to a Tea Friendship Speech. This will come in later, don't worry)
Yami: *continues to gape. The silence of the room is broken only by Yugi's continued sobs. After a moment he shakes his head and closes his mouth again, pushing Crye out of his mind and turning back to the matter at hand* there there. it's ok Yugi.
YC: geez, this really isn't his day is it?
Lizzy: *blinks a few times* well. that was certainly, um. interesting.*nervous cough* we really need to get this thing started though, I'm gonna go check on Ryou *walks out*
YC: yeah.*raises eyebrows and looks around the roomful of stunned faces* (to the chibis) well what are YOU staring at? Aren't u supposed to be trying to eat Malik alive?
All chibis: FOOD!!!!! *attack Malik*
~*~*~*~*End Chapter Two*~*~*~*~
Lizzy: will Malik be eaten alive by chibis? Will Ryou ever come around? Do any of you care?
YC: care? About MALIK? I think not! He may have the really cool but semi disgusting tattoos of the ancient prophecy thingie on his back, but he SO does not deserve to live!
Crye: geez, what put YOU in such a bad mood all the sudden?
Avari: mayhap it was the stunning speech you made Crye, or Yami's witty reaction.
Crye: oh shut up. I was just saying what came to me!
YC: which is what scares me. HOW COULD YOU HAVE GONE ALL TEA-ISH ON ME???
Lizzy: if Avari ever went Tea-ish on me I'd probably kill myself.
Avari: I'll be sure to remember that if I ever need to get rid of you quickly
YC: yeah well. I'm debating on doing that right about now, this is not a pleasant thing!
Lizzy: neither is Ryou having to kiss Yami in the last scene but we won't go into that right now. all of you readers who want to see Ryou in the dress, we'd better get reviews or you're not getting the next chapter.
YC: *takes next chapter and holds it hostage* MWAHAHAHA! We have the next chapter but YOU have to review to get it!
Crye: that was sudden
Avari: and disturbing. I'll go get the sedatives. *goes off to find their tranquilizer guns*
Crye: you do that. in the mean time, REVIEW PEOPLE! We need feedback!
Avari: and it took us all of *looks at watch* 20 seconds! Nice when you have it pre-written isn't it?
YC: gasp! It took us THAT long?? How ever is the poor reader/ readers going to survive?
Lizzy: well it's here now. Hope you guys like it!
~*~*~*~*And Now For Our Feature Presentation*~*~*~*~
YC: *laughs* okay, put on the dress
Ryou: "already? no one else is in there costumes yet"
YC: well we made an exception for you
Lizzy: "sadly, my compassion is kicking in and I cannot allow you to do this to Ryou. we should leave him alone and find sum1 else to torture"
YC: *hands Ryou his dress*
Ryou: *reaches the brink of his fear tolerance and passes out from the pressure*
YC: oh please. *dumps a bucket of ice water on his head*
Lizzy: "we have other fun costumes. let us go find Bakura and give him his little outfit."
YC: great, I can't wait to see him in a stocking cap!
Ryou: *shivers from the ice water and starts to randomly slip in and out of consciousness*
Hungry: sa wha?
Evil: "stewpid weak hikawi!"
YC: wow, he's even evil when he's a chibi!
Lizzy: *sighs and drags a semi-conscious Ryou into his dressing room and puts him on the bed. she hangs the dress up next to the bed and leaves to go torture his yami*
Evil: "how dew yew tink I got da name?!?"
YC: that takes a lot u know
Pointy: (to Hungry) "is my haiw sharp 'nuff?"
Hungry: u needa sharpen I' mor
Pointy: "ow kay! mawik! will wo sarpen my haiw?"
Malik: *evil grin* of course *gets knife from soul room and is about to shear 'Pointy's' hair off*
Lizzy: *clears her throat and holds the conveniently sharp edge of Malik's item to his throat* "as you were 'mawik'"
Malik: kidding! I was just kidding!
Lizzy: *does not move the item* "I'm sure. I think pointy wanted his hair sharpened?"
Malik: *slips the knife up his sleeve* uh, yeah?
Lizzy: *snaps her fingers and the knife disappears* "continue"
Malik: exactly how does one sharpen the hair of someone less then a quarter of your size?
Lizzy: "well I suggest you find out before you upset him. if he starts to cry you would be dead meat"
Malik: *sweatdrops*
Malik: alright 'pointy,' how do YOU sharpen your hair?
Pointy: "fiwst you gel it up weawy good 'til it's all hard and den yew file it to a nice point!" (translation: first you gel it up really good until it's all hard and then you file it to a nice point)
Hungry: *is eating something*
Malik: file it with what?
Lizzy: "this" *hands him a file* "go on Malik knock yourself out."
Hyper: "hungry! stop eating my hair!"
Malik: can I really? thanks! *hits self*
Hungry: oh sowy
Lizzy: *sighs* "it was just an expression nitwit and you'll have to hit harder than that to penetrate that thick skull. now, file away!"
Malik: *is happily unconscious*
Lizzy: *growls* "WAKE UP!" *snaps fingers and Malik is conscious again* "FILE! NOW!"
Malik: kill me now
YC: I would, but you need to watch the chibis
YC: death would be too kind a fate for you anyway
Malik: why me? *starts to file Pointy's hair*
Lizzy: "I need to leave now to work on costumes. I trust that YC will watch you adequately." *hands Malik's item off to YC but turns around as she is about to leave* "I want his hair sharp enough to draw blood when I get back!"
Malik: (thinking) if its your blood, all the better
YC: *glares*
Lizzy: *knocks on Yami's dressing room door* "are you dressed?"
Malik: filing! *goes back to filing 'pointy's' hair*
Yami: "unfortunately, yes."
Lizzy: *walks into his room to find him in his costume. he is wearing off white tights and dorky brown shoes. he has the stupid poofy pants that are the same color red as his hair and a black tunic with puffy gold sleeves. the hat that had gone with the costume had been banished to the shadow realm after a short disagreement with his hair and a fake sword hung around the one and only belt in the outfit.*
Crye: *comes in* well if you want MY opinion...
Yami: "don't you dare say anything Crye"
Crye: but-
Yami: *glares*
Lizzy: *is grinning evilly but isn't laughing* "does it fit ok? and yes the pants and sleeves are supposed to be poofy"
Yami: "Cryelle, as pharaoh of Egypt I order you to keep your comment to yourself"
Crye: *writes it on paper*
Lizzy: "well now I want to no what you were gonna say. spill it Crye"
Crye: I cant
Lizzy: "silly Crye, authoress powers overrule everything. tell me!"
Crye: its the law. I'm still CURSED w/ a person that tried to MURDER ME in the desert... (u guys really don't want to no about this one. It's a novel in and of itself)
Lizzy: "ugh, fine. yami..."
yami: *looks to be trying desperately to keep his mouth shut* "you can say it Crye"
Crye: *rolls eyes and leaves*
Lizzy: "fine! be that way! see if I ever have mercy on you! (foreshadowing!) so, yami is your costume good?"
Yami: "define 'good'"
Crye: I don't need mercy! (doesn't she wish)
Lizzy: *glares* "does it fit?"
Yami: *glares back* "yes."
Lizzy: "good. and just for being fresh with me your not allowed to take it off. you will wear this until I tell you otherwise!"
Yami: *opens his mouth to argue but just closes it again and shakes his head*
Lizzy: *back in chibi room* "I'm back! you can all rejoice now!"
All chibis: *wave little flags and shout enthusiastically* "YAY!"
Malik: *is also waving a little flag (though not quite as earnestly) and he says in a very flat tone* "yay."
Lizzy: *glares but decides that she can torture him later*
Lizzy: (to YC) "so is Pointy nice and sharp?"
YC: "DOES THIS ANSWER YOUR QUESTION?!?" *holds up a heavily bandaged arm*
YC: "why did I let him test it out on me?!?"
Malik: *twirls his item between his fingers* "this thing comes in so handy."
Lizzy: *sigh* "ok everybody, costume time!" *holds up a large pile of poofy clothing*
YC: "lets not forget the hats!" *snaps fingers and is holding a large handful of stocking caps with pompoms*
Evil: "I wefuse to wear dat!" *glares at his costume*
Lizzy: (to YC) "he speaks as if he had a choice in the matter"
YC: "we will remove him from that illusion soon enough"
Hungry: *is swept by a sudden wave of intelligence* "wait a sec. why is my sis' bwind? She got hewr oppewation!"
Lizzy: "which is why the blindfold is part of her costume"
Blind: *is running around blindly (pun quite intended) and crashing into everything from walls to her fellow chibis to 'mawik', who glares at her, no doubt planning to inflict severe pain upon her the moment he is left unsupervised*
Hungry: "but datz not faiw!" *looks to be on the verge of Tears*
YC: "um, Malik! Cheer him up!"
Malik: "WHAT!?! WHY me?"
Lizzy: "you dare question our supreme power?" *whacks him w/ her clipboard* "shame on you! I thought we taught you better! Now cheer hungry up or we will make you 'vewy vewy sowwy'"
YC: *nods in agreement. The millennium star glistens around her neck*
Malik: *tries to use his item to sway their opinion but of course Lizzy has no mind to control (IJ. Yet another running gag that we have where we are always saying how lizzy is mindless/brainless. Have you figured out that we have no lives yet?) and Avari chose that moment to walk by the chibi room and she had her (magic proof) shield up in front of YC b4 he could take complete control*
YC: "good timing Avari! Thanks!"
Lizzy: "ah, yes, tis a good thing Avari was walking by at just the right moment. Convenient, nay?"
Avari: "your welcome, now." *turns on Malik and summons her sword* "I believe
Hungry needed to be cheered up?"
Hungry: *is sobbing at the top of his (surprisingly large) lungs*
Malik: "why me?"
YC: *the Star glistens threateningly at Malik* "that's MY quote, you're NOT allowed to steal it!"
Evil: "I couwd! Bow to da maswer feef!" (translation: I could! Bow to the master thief!)
YC: *picks him up by the scruff of his incredibly small neck, holding him at eye level. He kicks and screams curses at her but can do nothing b/c he's so much smaller than she* "not so much a 'feef' now, aren't we?"
Evil: *tries to bite YC's nose*
YC: "hmm. Perhaps that nickname of Joey's should be transferred to you, puppy"
Evil: *it was amazing how even as a chibi he could do such bone chilling death glares*
YC: *grins placidly* "Crye is my yami, do you really think death glares work on me?"
Lizzy: "here, hand off. I want to talk to him alone for a sec. I'll get him into his costume."
YC: so, what are you gonna threaten him with?
Lizzy: "if you don't mind, I'd like to keep that between him and myself."
Crye: *walking in* which means she can't think of anything.
Bakura: "if it isn't phawaoh's swave! How is etewnal life tweating yew?" (translation: if it isn't pharaoh's slave! How is eternal life treating you?)
Lizzy: "very funny Evil. Now, unless any of you have a problem with it, I'm going to take our little friend and have a little chat with him."
Crye: but I wanna be the one to pound his miniscule face into the ground. *cracks knuckles* I don't want to be out of practice.*mutters* Pharaoh's slave my foot.he needs to be taught a lesson he WON'T forget in a hurry, and I think I'm just the right Teacher.
YC: CRYELLE! BEHAVE!
Crye: O.O was that ASSERTIVNESS I heard in your voice?
Lizzy: "sorry Crye, I get to talk with him first and put him in his costume then you can beat his face in." *holds her hand out to YC* "may I have the evil one?"
Crye: *w/ her ultimate death glare on her face* (to 'evil') ill be waiting. If you hadn't already died and you survived this, I would be VERY surprised. *turns on her heel and walks out of the room*
YC: *sighs* yamis. *hands 'evil' to Lizzy*
Lizzy: "thank you!" *drags a kicking and swearing chibi Bakura into a back room (that appeared out of nowhere for no apparent reason). Much swearing (Egyptian and otherwise) can be heard from beyond the door, accompanied by no few loud crashes. Then, all of a sudden the noise stops.*
Evil: *walks out of the room with a very sour look on his face but he is in the costume. His stocking cap is a very bright yellow and his tights are deep purple. he is in stupid shoes not unlike yami's but his are bright yellow to match his hat. Poofy shorts of the same vivid yellow and a tunic of the same shade with poofy royal purple sleeve and buttons complete the outfit. An eyesore would be a nice way of describing how he looks and the brightness of the yellow accompanied by the overall ugliness of it make it very hard to look at for too long.* "don't awny of yew dawe say anyting!" *he proceeds to pout as Lizzy walks out after him grinning broadly*
All, except Evil and Blind: *burst out laughing*
Blind: Hungry, wha iz evee won laffing at? (remember, she can't see)
Hungry: *between peels of laughter* evil wooks so FUNNY!!!!
Blind: wha does ee wook wike?
Hungry: eva twied wooking into da sun?
Evil: *death glares at them all but his furious gaze pauses on Malik. (IJ dead ahead! In our chats whenever I play Bakura and he gets angry at someone he will promise himself to torture them endlessly/kill them when he is ruler of the universe) He promises himself that Malik will pay (and he is not waiting until he is ruler of the universe to get his revenge for THIS) * "may yew awl buwn in-" *but he falters, remembering what he had been told in the back room. He settles for thinking all of his comments furiously and imagining the reactions of those they were targeted at. He found the reactions of Malik, Ryou, Crye, and Lizzy to be exceptionally amusing*
Avari: "well something you told him must have sunk in."
Lizzy: *just grins* "we shouldn't have too many more problems from him for a while"
YC: *is tapping her foot impatiently outside Hyper's dressing room* are you DONE yet?
Hyper: I am NOT coming out!
YC: come ON Mokuba, it can't be THAT bad. Just wait until you get a good look a
Bakura.*snickers*
Hyper: yes, I'm sure it's QUITE amusing, but you'll just have to do this without me, 'cause you CAN'T make me come out!
YC: *smirks* oh really? Would you bet on that?
Hyper: y-*stops to think it over* no.
YC: good. Then come out!
Hyper: exactly what amount of money would let me stay in here?
YC: more than you would ever.oh, wait.I walked right into that one didn't I?
Hyper: *even though the door separates their line of vision, YC can tell Mokuba is smirking behind it* yes, you did.
YC: grrrr! Bribery won't work on me, kid, you should know that by now.
Hyper: you sound like Seto.
YC: thanks. At least one of us does.
Hyper: -.- why can't I just stay in here?
YC: look, kid, I'm getting REALLY tired of arguing with you. Now I'll give you one more chance, get your butt out here or suffer the consequences!
Hyper: *considers blackmail options, but then decides to use them when it comes time to do the actual acting* oh all right, but you better not laugh.
YC: that's just what Bakura said, and it didn't stop us from laughing. Just get out here before I make you regret it *can't really do anything to him because 1) they need him and 2) Seto would kill her, but is not about to tell Mokuba that*
Hyper: *huffs* fine! *the door opens slowly and Mokuba stands there with his arms folded over his chest, pouting. He is dressed from his stocking cap to his extremely dorky shoes in red and white strips* this is so degrading! I look like a candy cane! *sticks out his lower lip* I can't believe you're making me do this.
YC: *might possibly have pitied him if the kid hadn't been so much of a pain earlier* too bad, so sad. Now GET OUT THERE! *pushes him towards the door to the chibi room*
*Lizzy, Avari and Crye had done a pretty good job of getting most of the others into their costumes. Hungry was bedecked in florescent green and blind was sitting next to him boasting the one and only decent looking outfit which was all white (even the blindfold). Pointy had presented an issue because his hair kept ripping his stocking cap, so Malik had been forced to dull his point. This had kind of worked but then pointy wouldn't stop complaining that he wasn't 'sawp 'nuff'! a general compromise was made in the form of a hole in the hat for his hair to poke though. After this had been resolved Malik, much to his dismay, had been forced to re-sharpen pointy while the little chibi admired his brown costume (that resembled his former trench coat in color). Tea was (much to everyone's disgust) happily dressed in all different shades of (*shudder*) pink. She seemed to take great amusement in sneaking up behind evil and giving him a hug just to get his bug-eyed reaction. Evil could do nothing about this though, because whatever Lizzy had said to him was still keeping him under control. Victor was nowhere in sight, for Lizzy was having similar problems with him as YC had had with hyper. The reaction to hyper walking in dressed as a candy cane got the same reaction from everyone in the room.*
all but hyper: *burst out laughing*
Crye: *giggle* oh look! It's the *snicker* human candy cane!
Hungry: food? WHEWRE???? *sees 'hyper'* CANDY!!!! *tries to eat Hyper (for the second time in the fic)*
Hyper: GET OFF! *pokes Hungry who then falls to the ground looking like he's about to cry*
Evil: haha, da puppy is WEAK!
YC: (calmly) I believe you just insulted yourself, evil.
Hungry: (this is going to be his most commonly used line, by the way) I HUNGWY! I WAN' FOOD!
Other chibis: *take up the cry*
Chibis: "FOOD! FOOD! FOOD!"
Avari: "Malik, I believe that would be your cue."
Malik: WHY M-*catches a death glare from YC* *growls* what God did I offend?
Crye: *looks at him threateningly* MY quote, Malik.
Malik: WHAT???? Is there ANYTHING I can say without insulting you???
Avari: "your presence insults us Malik"
Crye: which explains why all the chibis hate you.
Malik: *growls* when I'M in charge.
YC: (cuts him off) which will NEVER happen so long as we're around.
Malik: .all of you will be SO sorry you EVER insulted me in the first place! Just wait until you get lost in MY realm.
Crye: *scoffs* the Shadow Realm is hardly yours, Malik. You just seem to like to think so.
(now let us join Lizzy and Yugi in their little. tiff, if you will) Lizzy: "HAUL YOUR CARCASS OUT HERE OR YOUR HAIR WILL REGRET IT!"
Yugi: "but u said my hair was sacred!"
Lizzy: "MINOR DETAIL! GET OUT HERE, NOW!"
Yugi: "no! you'll make fun of me!"
Lizzy: "so what else is new? I made the costume just so people could laugh at u. everyone else is like this too. Just get out here!"
Yugi: "but my fragile psyche can't handle being laughed at!"
Lizzy: "and I should care because?"
Yugi: *even though Lizzy can't see him his voice makes it obvious that he is in Tears* "you can't make me come out! I don't care what try to do to me! Yami will protect me!"
Lizzy: *has to try really hard not to give in to her pity* "Yami is not in any position to do that! He looks just as stupid as you do, trust me I know. Why else would he still be sulking in his dressing room? Just be glad that your not stuck in the dress and get out here!"
Yugi: *sniffle* "promise you won't laugh?"
Lizzy: "no!"
Yugi: "then I'm not coming out!"
Lizzy: "grrrrrrr. fine! I won't laugh if you'll just get out here!" *doesn't add that she can't make any promises about the others.*
Yugi: *cracks the door open slightly and one violet eye peers out* "promise?"
Lizzy: *has to count to ten to avoid exploding at the little guy* "yes I promise now get out here we need to get this started." *it wasn't like she didn't have enough problems to deal with seeing as their lead character was still out cold. Making bothersome vertically challenged teenagers who are embarrassed to be seen in their costumes was one of the last things she needed to be doing right now*
Yugi: *sighs in relief and opens the door all the way. Like Bakura, he had been given a yellow costume but his was more of a gold than the florescent ensemble that 'evil' had been forced into. As always he was wearing dorky shoes, stupid poofy pants and a tunic with poofy sleeves. He had been spared the shame of a stocking hat because Lizzy couldn't make herself force a hat onto his sacred hair but the bells that covered his costume more than made up for that. Yugi's shoes, pants and tunic were gold and his tights and sleeves were black. The horizontal black stripe in the center of his tunic only added to the effect of making the height impaired teenager look like a bee. If yami had any pride left to shred seeing his hikari in the belled bumble bee costume would surely do the trick.*
Lizzy: *it took every shred of will power for her to be able to keep her promise but there was nothing she could do about the laughter that shone in her eyes.*
Yugi: *started to Tear up again. He could tell that Lizzy wanted to laugh at him. Lizzy had a talent for being able to laugh at someone without making a sound.*
Lizzy: "don't even start crying on me. I'm not in the mood for dealing with tears! just get in there and get it over with!" *quite literally tosses him into the chibi room*
All: *simultaneously look up at the flying midget above them. everyone is silent for a few seconds, but then everyone but "the human bumble bee" started laughing*
Victor: *has gone a shade of brilliant red to rival his hair and Tears begin to well up in his eyes* IT'S NOT FUNNY!
All: *continue to laugh*
Yami: *pokes his head in* what's so funny? *gasps when he sees Yugi* what have you done to him!?! *rushes over to his hikari and attempts to comfort him* there there. just ignore them. it'll be ok, I promise. *glares around the room* stop laughing at him! can't you see he's embarrassed enough! leave him alone!
All: *take no notice and continue their hysterical fits of laughter*
Crye: *doubles over laughing*
Yami: *whirls on Crye with fury burning in his eyes. his third eye blazes on his forehead* CRYELLE! HOW DARE YOU LAUGH AT HIM!?! I COMMAND YOU TO STOP THIS INSTANT!
Crye: *if she could stop reluctantly she would've, but she stopped immediately, scowling at her "master"* would you rather I be laughing at you?
Yami: *still furious* don't you look at me like that! Yugi is very sensitive about these things!
Crye: *really wants to glare at Yami but closes her eyes and turns her head* (quietly) stop doing that.
Yami: *if possible, even angrier than before* what was that? Maybe I didn't hear you correctly, but for a moment I thought you actually tried to tell ME what to do.
Crye: STOP IT! *looks up at him with that rebellious look of an unwilling teenager* (quieter now) just.stop.
Yami: *would have yelled at her some more but his fury now seems to be beyond words*
Yugi: *is still sobbing into Yami's shoulder, er, um. side. He isn't tall enough to sob into Yami's shoulder*
Crye: *lip trembles ever so slightly* I'm sick of you telling me what to do and getting it all the time! Stop ordering me around! *closes her eyes tightly, wishing for it all to just go away*
Yami: *it takes a moment for the absurdity of this request to sink in. after he realizes that he wasn't hearing things and gets over the initial shock, he tries to find a way to counter it. whatever strange force of luck that allowed him to draw the exact card he needed in every duel he had ever been in though was not with him at the moment, because all he could do was stand there gaping and stuttering things like* well. if you would just. but I can't.
Crye: *has never even thought of saying what she is about to say and doesn't even know if she can, but somehow the words come to her effortlessly, it seemed the tide of the conversation had turned* Yami, all my life I've been looking up to you because you forced me to. I've been doing what you say for the past 5000 years now and I'm getting tired of it. think about it, Yami. You've always been "Pharaoh" or "master" to me and you wonder why I would always refuse to refer to you as "friend." Its because you wouldn't let me. Picture what it would be like to live like I do. Do you think YOU, the all powerful, god-like human could stand up to it? No. You and I both know that. So just leave me alone! *runs out of the room* (I'm really sorry to all you reviewers out there, it's just Crye's character to be doing something so dangerously close to a Tea Friendship Speech. This will come in later, don't worry)
Yami: *continues to gape. The silence of the room is broken only by Yugi's continued sobs. After a moment he shakes his head and closes his mouth again, pushing Crye out of his mind and turning back to the matter at hand* there there. it's ok Yugi.
YC: geez, this really isn't his day is it?
Lizzy: *blinks a few times* well. that was certainly, um. interesting.*nervous cough* we really need to get this thing started though, I'm gonna go check on Ryou *walks out*
YC: yeah.*raises eyebrows and looks around the roomful of stunned faces* (to the chibis) well what are YOU staring at? Aren't u supposed to be trying to eat Malik alive?
All chibis: FOOD!!!!! *attack Malik*
~*~*~*~*End Chapter Two*~*~*~*~
Lizzy: will Malik be eaten alive by chibis? Will Ryou ever come around? Do any of you care?
YC: care? About MALIK? I think not! He may have the really cool but semi disgusting tattoos of the ancient prophecy thingie on his back, but he SO does not deserve to live!
Crye: geez, what put YOU in such a bad mood all the sudden?
Avari: mayhap it was the stunning speech you made Crye, or Yami's witty reaction.
Crye: oh shut up. I was just saying what came to me!
YC: which is what scares me. HOW COULD YOU HAVE GONE ALL TEA-ISH ON ME???
Lizzy: if Avari ever went Tea-ish on me I'd probably kill myself.
Avari: I'll be sure to remember that if I ever need to get rid of you quickly
YC: yeah well. I'm debating on doing that right about now, this is not a pleasant thing!
Lizzy: neither is Ryou having to kiss Yami in the last scene but we won't go into that right now. all of you readers who want to see Ryou in the dress, we'd better get reviews or you're not getting the next chapter.
YC: *takes next chapter and holds it hostage* MWAHAHAHA! We have the next chapter but YOU have to review to get it!
Crye: that was sudden
Avari: and disturbing. I'll go get the sedatives. *goes off to find their tranquilizer guns*
Crye: you do that. in the mean time, REVIEW PEOPLE! We need feedback!
