"How late does it stay open?" "10:00." Bluefire checked her watch. "Well,
it's 7:30 now, so we should go before it closes. You're going to have to
show me where it is, though, Ryou, since you know this city better than we
do." Ryou nodded. "All right." "Everybody in the car." Ryou and Aisling sat
in the back seat as she started
the car and drove off. "Oh, first, we have to get some gas. It'll only take a few seconds, minute tops." Bluefire spoke up.
"Okay." "There's a gas station just down the road from here, on the left side of the street." Ryou told her. "Good. I really don't feel like walking to the mall and back to the hotel."
"I don't either." Aisling said. "Nor do I." Ryou added.
They pulled into the gas station after a few more minutes. Bluefire gpt out to pump gas while Aisling got out to go in and pay for it.
"Do you two want anything?" Aisling asked.
"Get the usual candy/soda package." Bluefire replied, chewing on a piece of gum.
"Right. One all-you-can-eat candy and soda buffet coming right up." Aisling said, grinning. She ran into the gas station, got the candy and sodas, paid for them and the gas and ran back out to the car, getting in next to Ryou and handing the bag to Bluefire as she got in the car. "Now that the tank's full, the mall awaits!" Bluefire exclaimed.
"WHOOHOO!" Ryou & Aisling said in unison.
"I'm bored."
Bakura siged in exasperation, glancing over at his partner in crime. "That really does not surprise me, Malik. You're always bored."
"I can't help it, Kura." Malik pouted adorably. "Can't we just give up for tonight and try again tomorrow? I mean, it's not like they're going to just leave the city or something. Besides, we aren't getting anywhere." "I wonder why that is, Malik. Fine, we'll give it a rest for today, but only because if we don't, you'll be bitching all day."
Malik pouted cutely. "I will not."
"You always do, Malik." "No I don't."
"Yes you do, you're doing it now."
"No I'm not." Malik tried to look totally innocent, but it wasn't working. "MALIK! Stop it! You're giving me a migraine!"
"Eep!" "Go...go watch Sailor Moon!"
"Yipee!" Malik ran back into the living room and turned the t.v. back on. "How pathetic." Bakura sighed.
"You're so mean to me, Bakura."
"I'm evil, not mean. There's a difference."
"There is?" Bakura nodded. "Yes. Evil is a way of life. Mean happens to be a part of evil." "Okay, whatever, Kura. I think you were cooped up in that Ring just a little bit too long."
"Shut up." "You know you love me." Bakura sighed. "Let's not start that again." "Come on-" "NO! Now, if you want to keep all your limbs, then I suggest you drop it." "You got that from Bluefire, didn't you?"
"No, she got it from me." "Uh-huh, sure. Yeah, okay, Kura. Whatever you say." "She did!" "I think she was saying that *way* before she met you, Kura. I wonder what she thinks about me and if she is now?"
Bakura smacked him upside the head. "Don't count on it, baka."
Malik pouted, rubbng the back of his head. "Why not?" "Because I hate to admit it, but she's a smart mortal girl. She probably
wouldn't dream of thinking about you, a moronic pretty boy." "I am not a moronic pretty boy. I can't help it if I'm hot." "Don't flatter yourself, baka. Besides, she's the Pharoah's girl." "Whatever. I think there's hope for me yet. Besides, they're not official." "Don't count on it, you narcissist." "Why not? I heard she said that I was cute in a Ricky Martin meets The Mummy sort of way. Bakura burst out into hysterical laughter "Ricky Martin?! HAHAHA!!!" "Yeah. So?" Malik replied, a big, goofy grin on his face. "Ever hear any of those damn songs?! And not to mention the fact that he wears so much tight shit, he reminds me of the pharoah. It's amazing that he can actually move. He's a wannabe pretty boy!" "I don't know. I actually took it as a compliment." "Only you would be stupid enough to take that as one."
"I like some of his stuff."
"He's overrated."
Malik started singing(very well, actually,)while dancing around, adding a few hip gyrations as he did so.
"She's into superstition (hair flip) black cats and voodoo dolls I've got a premonition that girl's gonna make me fall (he then started dancing, before singing again) She's into new sensation new kicks and candle light she's got a new addiction for every day and night She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain she'll make you live the crazy life or she'll take away your pain like a bullet to your brain upside inside out she's living la Vida loca she'll push and pull you down she's living la Vida loca her lips are devil red and her skins the color mocha she will wear you out she's living la Vida loca living la vida loca woke up in New York City in a funky cheap motel she took my heart and she took my money she must of slipped me a sleeping pill she never drinks the water makes you order French Champaign and once you had a taste of her you'll never be the same she'll make you go insain upside inside out she's living la Vida loca she'll push and pull you down she's living la Vida loca her lips are devil red and her skins the color mocha she will wear you out she's living la Vida loca living la vida loca She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain she'll make you live the crazy life or she'll take away your pain like a bullet to your brain upside inside out she's living la Vida loca she'll push and pull you down she's living la Vida loca her lips are devil red and her skins the color mocha she will wear you out she's living la Vida loca living la Vida loca living la vida loca
"SHUT UP!" Bakura yelld. Malik pouted cutely. "You didn't like my singing?" "One word: NO!" Malik sniffled. "Sheesh, everyone's a music critic." "Everyone just hates your singing/screeching." Malik sniffled again. "No they don't." "Yes they do. What do you think started this whole thing?" "That's mean, Kura." "It's the truth and the truth hurts, doesn't it?" "It is not. Bluefire told me not to let you get me down." "Yes it is. And she was just trying to be nice to a pathetic person like you." "Well, when I did the Ricky Martin bit for Bluefire, Aisling and Ryou, they seemed to like it." "WHAT?! What do you mean?!"
"Well, Aisling was laughing, Bluefire was clapping and Ryou was quiet
with a big-ass sweatdrop." " Why am I not surprised? You're pathetic."
"Yeah, but that's why you keep me around." Malik grinned innocently.
Bakura rolled his mahogany eyes. "Just watch your show, Malik."
"Okay." The loveable, handsome, but dim blonde became completely absorbed in the show. Suddenly, Bakura said "Hey, you dropped your note." "Oh. Give it here." "Hold on. It says something." "Give that back! It's private!" Instead, Bakura was reading the note, his eyes getting really big. "Come on, Kura!!! Give it back! It's private!" "Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!" Bakura laughed "You...and...Serenity...HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Oh this is killing me!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! No wait. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh yeah. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Malik snatched the note back from him, shoving it in his pocket as he pouted cutely, saying "You're a dick sometimes."
Bakura stopped laughing and said "That was cold." "Well, you are."
"Shut up Malik. At least I'm not the one that-"
"LA LA LA LA!! I can't hear you!!" "Doesn't shut up." "LA LA LA LA! I AM NOT LISTENING! LA LA LA LA LA!" Bakura started chanting with an evil grin on his face "Malik and Serenity, sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
Malik pouted cutely. "Hey! No fair!" "Life's not fair. Besides, that's payback for you doing it to me earlier." "Are you really that immature?"
"Yes. Bakura continued chanting. Malik was quiet for once, with a really big sweatdrop as Bakura continued "Then comes a baby in the baby carriage! That's not all, that's not all. Thaat baby's being a basketball!" "Okay, you have issues." "Like I said, payback." Malik just Anime fell. Bakura was still chanting.
Aisling looked at the hair dye "Hey, Ryou? How about light brown?"
"I suppose." "Look at the one I'm going with." She held up a container of copper-red dye. "I like it, it suits you, love." "Arigatou." Aisling replied, blushing. "I've always wondered what I'd look like with blue hair." Bluefire picked up a bottle of blue hair spray. "And here's that streak stuff." She picked up a streaking comb-like hair dye. "And it washes out in only one shampoo. Great, because I'l miss my pretty dark brown hair." Malik pouted, before saying "Fine, Bakura. Two can play this game! Bakura and Iris sitting in a tree, f-u-c--" "MALIK!" Malik started imitating him. "BAKURA!" "Stop it, baka!" "Stop it, baka!" "I'm going to kill you if you don't shut your face!" "I'm going to kill you if you don't shut your face!" "ARGH! THAT DOES IT! "ARGH! THAT DOES IT!"
The two partners in crime got into an all-out brawl, hidden behind an anime dust cloud. Various curses, etc...can be heard.
"Okay, now that we've go the hair stuff, we'll need some clothes and underwear and maybe we'll have to use it in the closest bathroom." Bluefire told her. "Okay. Which store do you want to go to? It doesn't matter to me." Aisling asked. "Bluefire?" Ryou asked. "How about over there?" She pointed out a Foley's. "They've got cute stuff,
including a guy's section and we'll also need a few different pairs of underwear." "That'll work." Aisling agreed and Ryou nodded.
"All right, come on." Bluefire said to them.
Bakura had Malik pinned to the floor.
Malik grabbed Bakura's shirt, wrapped his leg around Bakura's, grabs Bakura's wrist and fips him over so that Bakura is on bottom and Malik was on top. "Bluefire taught me that move." He told him "GET OFF ME!" Bakura yelled. "No." "DAMNIT, Malik! GET OFF ME! NOW!" "Not until you promise not to kill me." Bakura pushed Malik off. Malik held Bakura's arm between his legs. "Bluefire taught me that one, too. Plus, if I just jerk my legs on your elbow, it'll break." "Get off." "Bluefire taught Ryou those moves, too." "So, I teach Ryou, too." Malik shook his head. "No, you try to legitamize being a bully." "Can I help it if I'm stronger than him?" Malik raised an eyebrow. "You're definitely meaner.""Just get off me!" "Not until you promise not to kill me."
"Fat chance of that, moron." Bakura muttered darkly. "Then I'm not getting off you." "Don't make me send you to the Shadow Realm." "Eep!" Malik yelped with a really, really big sweatdrop.
"This would look good on you, Ryou." Bluefire gave him a pair of tight, black leather pants. Aisling snickered, while Ryou yelped "I can't wear that!" "Why not?" Bluefire looked in the tag. "The materials are all synthetic." Ryou was quiet, with a really big sweatdrop. "Aww, I think you'd look good in leather." Aisling spoke up. "Yeah, that's just because you-" Bluefire said, snickering. "Bluefire!!!!!" Aisling yelped, slamming her elbow into her side. "Ow." Bluefire said, her voice cracking a little. "What? It's true." "I don't think I want to know." Ryou said. "Just humor us and try 'em on." Bluefire said. "And I'll get a shirt that'll go with, too." "Why me?" Ryou said, blushing.
"Hey, what do you think of this?" Aisling sais, holding up a really cute dark green velour shirt. "It's nice." Ryou said. "Thanks. Aisling found a pair of pants and a skirt to go with it, as well as a dark purple shirt. "What do you think of this?" Bluefire held up a pink t-shirt and a denim skort That's cute! I like it." Aisling said.
"Thanks." Bluefire handed Ryou a shirt. "Here."
"What is it with you and the leather thing?" "We think you'd look hot in it." Aisling told him. "Besides, this is synthetic, too." Bluefire piped up. "Anyway, Baku-chan knows you'd never
be caught dead in that stuff. What about this?" She held up a blue tank top and black leather pants.
Ryou: blushed. "I suppose you have a point." He took the clothes from Bluefire. "Now, I hope that those fit." "You go shopping with Yami way too often." Aisling said to her friend. "Which one?" "Yugi's." "I do not."
"Yes you do. You like him, don't you?" She gave her an evil grin, looking eerily like her Yami. "He makes a good shopping partner." Bluefire said, blushing Aisling gave her another evil grin, looking eerily like her Yami. "Yeah right." "We're just friends.
"Yeah right, Blue." Aisling started singing "Yami and Bluefire sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-OW!!!!! What was that for?!" "Don't start that, please." Bluefire moved her elbow away from where it was jammed into her side. "Oh for the love of Kami-sama." Ryou sighed. "What do you think?" Aisling asked, twirling around once. "You look nice, love." Ryou said, blushing. "Yeah." Bluefire nodded in agreement. "Arigatou." "You're welcome. Oh, what about this? For me, I mean." Bluefire held up a lilac shirt and a pair of black leather pants.
"I like it." Aisling whispered to Ryou" See? This just proves she shops with Yami way too much.""What do you mean?" "The whole leather thing."
Ryou was just quiet with a sweatdrop. "I heard that, Aisling." Bluefire spoke up. "Heard what?" Aisling asked, looking innocent. "Your comment. He's a good guy to shop with. And besides, he usually doesn't
whine when we get to the shoes section. I'd better go try my stuff on." She went into a dressing room. "I'm going to try to find a couple more outfits." Aisling said. "I'll go with you." Ryou offered. "Okay. Hey, Bluefire? We'll be right back." "All right." Ryou and Aisling walked away. "Okay, the skirt's a winner, but let's see the tops with it." Bluefire muttered to herself. "What about this one?" Ryou asked.
"What is it?" Ryou handed her a blue long-flair-sleeve shirt.
"That's pretty. Umm, that might go good with these pants."
Ryou blushed slightly as he nodded his agreement. "Well, both the tops work, but how about the pants. Let's hope that the
Latina genes don't jinx the look." Bluefire took off the skirt and slipped on the pants. "Oh, here's something." Aisling held up a sleeveless black denim dress with delicate embroidery on the top. "Wow, that would look nice on you." Ryou said. "You really think so?" Ryou nodded. "Yeah." "Okay." "I guess those classes paid off, because a year ago, I would never dream
of putting something like this on. But, I think it would look okay with the skirt over it." Bluefire slipped the sirt on over the pants. Aisling grabbed a couple more outfits. "Okay, I think I have what I want. We should probably go find some stuff for you and then head back over to the dressing rooms." "All right. Just do me one favor." "Hmm?"
Ryou: Let's try to keep the leather thing to a minumum, okay?
Aisling pouted. "But Ryou..." "No, Aisling." Aisling sighed. "All right. She muttered under her breath "How does he do that?" "Well, it looks like I shouldn't put a skirt over the pants." She walked out. Aisling walked by a jewelry counter. "Hey, Ryou. Look at that." She pointed out a gold heart-shaped locket that says 'forever love'.
"Wow, that's really beautiful." "Yeah. I really wish I could get it, but I probably shouldn't right now." Aisling sighed.
"Can I help you two with anything?" A jewelry clerk asked.
"Hmm? Oh, no thanks. I'm just looking." Aisling said.
"Can we see that locket? The one that says 'forever love'." Ryou said.
The clerk nodded. "Certainly." She took out the locket and puts it on the glass countertop.
Ryou picked it up and holding it up to see how it would look on me. "It would definitely suit you, love."
"He's right." The clerk agreed, before saying to Ryou "If you're thinking of a gift for your lady friend here, that's definitely what you're looking for."
"Ryou..." "We'll take it." Aisling stared, shocked as the clerk took the locket, putting it in a black velvet box and handing it back to him. "That's going to come to $103.84." Ryou handed her a credit card.
The clerk took the card, swipping it through the machine, and giving it back to Ryou. "Have a nice day, Mr. Bakura. Thank you for shopping with us." Ryou nodded in acknowledgement "Come on, love."
Aisling followed him, still in shock. "Ryou...I...you didn't have to do that." "I wanted to, Aisling." Ryou put the locket around her neck. "Besides, it does look lovely on you." Aisling touched the pendant lightly. "I...thank you." She blushed as she hugged him.
"You're welcome." Ryou kissed her lightly on the cheek. Bluefire walked out of the room, saying to herself "I'd better find some good old-fashioned blue jeans. Hey, I see Aisling and Ryou. Hey! Vicki! Greg!" "Hey, look. There's Bluefire. Hey! Over here!" Aisling yelled as they walk over to her and she was showing off her new locket.
"Hey, look what Ryou bought me! Isn't it beautiful?" Bluefire nodded.
"Yeah! That's gorgeous!" "I'll probably put that really small picture of us that was taken last year in it."
"That one would be perfect for it." Ryou agreed. "It's a locket, so a picture should be in there. And a sweet piccie like
that would be great for it." Bluefire stated the obvious. "Let's keep browsing. I jsut saw some cargo pants with your name on it, Ryou-chan. And it's denim." "I think I'll probably put that picture of us that was taken last year in it." "You mean the one that was taken at the Christmas party?" Ryou asked. Aisling nodded. "Hai. I love that one."
"That one would be perfect for it." "Under the mistletoe?" Bluefire grinned evilly. Aisling coughed, while Ryou blushed. "So I was right."
"I'm not answering that." Aisling grinned sweetly. "But I was right. Okay, here they are." Shye held up a pair of boy cargo pants with dark blue denim. Well, what do you think? "Well, at least they aren't leather." Aisling snickered. "What?" "Oh, nothing. I just think you'd look really hot in leather." Ryou sighed. "Oh, Kami-sama. Let's not get started on this again." "Aww, come on, Ryou-chan." Bluefire begged. "They aren't bad." "Wow. Those are nice." Aisling agreed.
"Thanks. They don't look like what Ryou would normally have, but they're
not going to sag by his butt, either. I don't think. As least it's not leather. Oh, and I saw the cutest denim catsuit when I saw you two." Aisling raised an eyebrow. "Catsuit?" She then imitated Joey. "Why am I not surprised by this?" Ryou was laughing. "Oh, very funny, Aisling."
"I thought so." Aisling replied innocently. "Hey, I was close to getting one once." "Then what happened?" "Then mom saw the price." Bluefire replied sheepishly. "Yikes. How much was it?" "About $50, I think." "Wow. $50? Well, if you want it, go ahead and get it." "Yay!"
Ryouwas quiet with a really big sweatdrop. "I'm going to go try it on!" She went in the dresssing room, coming out with
the catsuit. "How do I look?" "Wow, that's cool looking, actually." Aisling replied. "I think so too." Ryou added. "Really?" Aisling nodded. "Yeah. Get it." "Okay."
"That was *not* funny, Ishtar! My arm still hurts." Bakura snarled, rubbing at his arm.
"Well, it's your own fault, Baku-chan."
Bakura narrowed his eyes dangerously. "How was that *my* fault?!"
"You wanted to kill me. I was just defending myself." Malik went back to munching on popcorn and watching The Mummy Returns. Bakura shook his head and sighed. "Whatever. I don't see what the big deal about Bluefire's lessons
is anyway. Besides, I bet that when she had your arm between those long legs,
you were acting and thinking like a hentai."
Malik shook his head. "I sort of was thinking pervertedly, but Bluefire said that if I tried anything, then she'd break my arm. So,
I didn't try anything."
"You were thinking about it, though, weren't you?"
Malik didn't answer.
"You're a pathetic hentai, you know that?"
"No I'm not." Malik replied, a very cute, goofy grin on his face.
"Yes you are." "No I'm not."
"Yes you are." "Hey, at least I'm not the one who tried to come onto Mai last year at the Christmas party and got kicked in the nuts, unlike someone in present company."
Bakura pointed at him. "Hey, I thought we weren't going to bring that up ever again."
"I lied." Malik giggled hysterically.
"It's not funny, Ricky Martin!" Malik nodded. "Actually, Kura, from where I'm sitting, it's hysterical. You were so stone drunk that it was pathetic. Oh, and I'll take the Ricky Martin thing as a compliment."
"SHUT UP ISHTAR!" Malik pouted adorably. "No!" "Yes!"
"No, I don't want to. Besides, you know it's true. You're just in denial. And I saw you and Iris over by the fireplace making out." "We were not!" Malik coughed. "Denial, my friend, is not just a river in Egypt." "SHUT UP, ISHTAR!" "No. Besides, you know it's true. If you don't believe it, then take
a look." Malik showed them a picture of Iris and Bakura by the fireplace kissing. Both were on the floor. "HOW-HOW DID YOU GET THAT?!"
Malik grinned evillly. "I have my sources." "GIVE ME THAT!" "NO!"
"GIVE ME THE DAMNED PICTURE!!" "No!"
"GIVE ME THE MOTHERFUCKING PICTURE, GODDAMNIT!" "No!" Malik started singing "Bakura and Iris, sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!! First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage!"
"JUST SHUT UP AND GIVE ME THE PICTURE!" "No."
Bakura growled through gritted teeth "Don't triffle with me, Ishtar!"
"What are you gonna do about it, Kura?" Malik tauntingly asked.
"I'll take great pleasure in separating your soul from your body, and I'll make as painful as possible."
"Eep!" Malik ran away. Bakura ran after him. "GET BACK HERE AND GIVE ME THE PICTURE!" "Not a chance! Not until you promise not to kill me!" "FAT CHANCE, ISHTAR!" "THEN I'M NOT STOPPING!!!!"
"ARGH!! GET BACK HERE AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN!!!" "NO!" "MALIK ISHTAR!! GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW AND GIVE ME THAT PICTURE!!!!!"
"NO!" "GET BACK HERE NOW SO I CAN KILL YOU AND SEND YOUR PATHETIC REMAINS TO THE SHADOW REALM!" "NO WAY!" Malik hid in an evergreen tree.
Bakura climbed up after him. Malik jumped down and ran down the street, by the gas station. Bakura ran after him, shoving people out of his way. "Move it! Stupid mortals!"
Malik ran into the Domino City Mall, while Bakura was still chasing him. Malik ducked into Foley's and ran into Bluefire, nearly knocking her into a mannequin. "Hey! Watch it, baka!" She yelled, before turning around and notices- "Malik?! Aye, mierda!*" "It's okay. I'm not after you. Bakura's after me, so he might have forgotten you three." "Que estas haciendo?%" "I pissed Kura off by showing him a picture and now he wants to kick my ass." "PENDEJO!^ You just flashed el rojo$ to el toro^" "Lo siento-`! I need your help." Bluefire thought for a while. "Fine. Callete y seguirmi@"
Malik folowed her. "Muchas gracias~."
"De nada`." (*Oh, shit! %What did you do? ^You idiot! [a mean way of calling anyone that] -` I'm sorry $the red ^The bull @Shut up and follow me. ~Thank you very much `You're welcome)
They took off running. "Hey, look." Aisling said. "Here comes Bluefire...oh crap."
"What's wrong?" Ryou asked. "Look who's with her." "Malik?!"
Bluefire came up to them, Malik in tow. "Come on, you two. We have to go. Now." "Okay? Did I miss something? And why is Malik with you?" Aisling asked. "Relax, I'm not going to do anything. I ended up ticking Bakura off with a picture and now he's after me, so he might have forgotten about you three." Malik explained.
"Oh shit! Okay, come on. I have an idea."
They all took off running again, shoving past a bunch of people in front of us as we head for the escalators.
"EXCUSE US! COMING THROUGH! MOVE IT!" Aisling yelled.
Shoving past people on the escalator, they finally stopped in a fairly deserted area on the second floor. "Do you think we lost him?" Ryou asked. "I...I think so, I don't see him anywhere."
"So what's your plan?" Malik asked. "Two words: Glamour spell." Aisling replied. "Glamour spell? So that's how you did it. Are you sure it'll work?" Malik asked. "Yeah, it worked earlier, didn't it?" "Point taken." "All right. Here goes nothing." Aisling started to chant in ancient Egyptian. A bright glow surrounded them for a few minutes before finally disappearing. Malik looked in a nearby mirror. "Wow, it actually worked." He was paler, with dark brown hair and gray eyes, and was wearing a black t- shirt and denim jeans. "I'm impressed. I didn't know you could do that. How long does this last?" "Arigatou. Iris taught me that trick. This particular one lasts about 24 hours."
"So now what?" Ryou asked. "We should probably get going soon, before Yambaka finds us. Let's go pay for this stuff and get out of here." Bluefire suggested. Aisling nodded. "Good idea." "Oh, one thing. Anybody want a swimsuit?" Bluefire asked. "WHY?!" Ryou, Aisling and Malik asked. "Simple. We're poolside at a hotel, so why not go swimming?" Aisling blushed furiously, looking over at the two guys. "Umm, I suppose you have a point."
Ryou and Malik nodded in agreement "All right then. Onward troops!" Bluefire exclaimed, pointing to a section dramitically. "Okay, you're starting to sound like Joey no baka now." Aisling said.
Aisling, Ryou and Malik sweatdropped and asked "How so?"
"I could be sounding like Peggie." "GAH!" Aisling fell over anime style.
"Okay, I did *not* need *that* mental image." Ryou yelled.
"We didn't either!!" Aisling and Malik yelled.
Bluefire shrugged. "Well, it's true." Aisling nodded. "Hai, but still. That is just all kinds of wrong." "Okay, okay, okay. Let's pay for this stuff and get to Banana Republic or Target or somewhere that sells swimsuits." "Sounds good to me. Maybe we should go out the back way."
"All right. Come on, guys." "Is there a back way?" Malik asked. Bluefire nodded. "Yeah. At least there should be. I know about Foley's more than anyone here, I bet." "Okay, not asking, not encouraging in anyway." Ryou said with a sweatdrop.
"What? There were like two Foley's back home."
"Well, let's go then." "Good idea. I think I just spotted Bathead a few seconds ago. Here goes nothing, time to see if this will actually work." Aisling replied. Bluefire gestured towards the hat racks. "Here, everyone grab a hat and let's get out of here." "Okay." Malik grabbed a lady's straw hat with a big flower on it.
"Um, Malik? That's a girl's hat." Ryou said. "So?" Bluefire and Malik asked in unison. Bluefire grabbed a black cowboy hat. Aisling snickered at Malik as she grabbed a dark blue bucket hat and pulled the brim down to cover her eyes somewhat. "Very attractive, Malik. " "Thanks."
Aisling and Ryou had a really big sweatdrop. "Is everyone ready?" Bluefire asked. "I know I am." Aisling replied. "So am I." Ryou added. "That makes three of us." Malik added.
"All right, let's head out. Onward troops!" Bluefire said. "What did I say about saying that?" Aisling asked.
"Nothing to my knowledge. But you did say I sounded like Joey."
Aisling Anime Fell."What?" Bluefire asked.
"Not asking, not encouraging in any way." Ryou replied with a sweatdrop.
"I'm not either." Malik added. "What?" Bluefire asked, before she added "I just did some thinking and we need to leave the floor we're on. What floor are we on, anyway? This Foley's is bigger than the ones back home." "I have no idea. Ask Ryou." "Well?" "We're on the third level I think." Ryou told her. Bluefire nodded. "Okay, so now we just need to figure out where the closest door to the parking lot is then. Any ideas?" Ryou gestured to the right. "That way, I think." Bluefire nodded. "All right. On...!" Aisling clamped a hand over her mouth. "Don't even say it, Bluefire. She wriggled free. "What?"
" I know what you were going to say. "What was I going to say?" Bluefire asked innocently. "Oh no, you're not going to get me to fall for that one." "What do you mean? Fall for what one?" Bluefire asked innocently. "The whole "onward troops!" thing..." Aisling said before she even realize what she was saying and fell over anime style. "Oh crap." "Looks like I just did." Ryou snickered a little. "Hehe, she has a point." "That's for making all those me liking Yami cracks." Bluefire replied smugly. "Well, it's true. You know you two like each other. And yes, I am sure he does, I overheard him telling Yugi about two weeks ago. He's just too scared to admit it, just like you are. Hmm, maybe I'll have to do something about that..."
"DON'T YOU DARE!!" Bluefire yelled. "Awww, spoilsport. Why not?" "Do I really need to answer that question?" Aisling grinned evilly, looking eerily like Iris. "Yes, you do. Besides, I don't know why you're making such a big deal out of this, I think it's kind of cute myself. And you know you two would make a cute couple."
"Geez, it's not like you and Ryou admitted right away either.
"Hai, but at least we did." "He's a nice guy. And I might admit it when I'm ready." She said, blushing.
"Hai, sure you will. Uh-huh, I'll believe that when I see it." Aisling muttered under her breath. Ryou was quiet with a big sweatdrop, while Malik asked "She doesn't quit, does she?" "No, she doesn't. Believe me, I know." "Okay, not saying anything." Bluefire, meanwhile, poked her with her elbow. "Ow! That hurt! What was that for?" "Uh-huh. Sure you will, was what you said." "And I'm not admitting in front
of you three, so forget it." Aisling had the sad chibi eyes. "Awww, come on!" "Sorry, won't work. The last time my brother tried that, I laughed in his face and gave him a swirlie." "What's a swirlie?" Malik asked. "Want we should demonstrate?" Aisling and Bluefire asked in unison. "Nope." "Good boy." Aisling pat him on the head. Ryou and Malik were quiet with a REALLY, REALLY BIG SWEATDROP.
"Didn't you do that to Seto a few days ago, Aisling?" Ryou asked.
"Hai, but he deserved it. He got mad over the "Little Bunny Frou-Frou" thing." Malik started laughing hysterically. "Hahahaha! I remember that! Didn't you post the pictures all over his company?"
"Hai. Half of his employees thought it was funny, whilst the other half were like, What the fuck?" "I take it Seto wasn't happy?" Ryou asked.
"Nope, I thought he was going to kill me, especially when I denied anything being there and told him he should go see a psychiatrist..."
the car and drove off. "Oh, first, we have to get some gas. It'll only take a few seconds, minute tops." Bluefire spoke up.
"Okay." "There's a gas station just down the road from here, on the left side of the street." Ryou told her. "Good. I really don't feel like walking to the mall and back to the hotel."
"I don't either." Aisling said. "Nor do I." Ryou added.
They pulled into the gas station after a few more minutes. Bluefire gpt out to pump gas while Aisling got out to go in and pay for it.
"Do you two want anything?" Aisling asked.
"Get the usual candy/soda package." Bluefire replied, chewing on a piece of gum.
"Right. One all-you-can-eat candy and soda buffet coming right up." Aisling said, grinning. She ran into the gas station, got the candy and sodas, paid for them and the gas and ran back out to the car, getting in next to Ryou and handing the bag to Bluefire as she got in the car. "Now that the tank's full, the mall awaits!" Bluefire exclaimed.
"WHOOHOO!" Ryou & Aisling said in unison.
"I'm bored."
Bakura siged in exasperation, glancing over at his partner in crime. "That really does not surprise me, Malik. You're always bored."
"I can't help it, Kura." Malik pouted adorably. "Can't we just give up for tonight and try again tomorrow? I mean, it's not like they're going to just leave the city or something. Besides, we aren't getting anywhere." "I wonder why that is, Malik. Fine, we'll give it a rest for today, but only because if we don't, you'll be bitching all day."
Malik pouted cutely. "I will not."
"You always do, Malik." "No I don't."
"Yes you do, you're doing it now."
"No I'm not." Malik tried to look totally innocent, but it wasn't working. "MALIK! Stop it! You're giving me a migraine!"
"Eep!" "Go...go watch Sailor Moon!"
"Yipee!" Malik ran back into the living room and turned the t.v. back on. "How pathetic." Bakura sighed.
"You're so mean to me, Bakura."
"I'm evil, not mean. There's a difference."
"There is?" Bakura nodded. "Yes. Evil is a way of life. Mean happens to be a part of evil." "Okay, whatever, Kura. I think you were cooped up in that Ring just a little bit too long."
"Shut up." "You know you love me." Bakura sighed. "Let's not start that again." "Come on-" "NO! Now, if you want to keep all your limbs, then I suggest you drop it." "You got that from Bluefire, didn't you?"
"No, she got it from me." "Uh-huh, sure. Yeah, okay, Kura. Whatever you say." "She did!" "I think she was saying that *way* before she met you, Kura. I wonder what she thinks about me and if she is now?"
Bakura smacked him upside the head. "Don't count on it, baka."
Malik pouted, rubbng the back of his head. "Why not?" "Because I hate to admit it, but she's a smart mortal girl. She probably
wouldn't dream of thinking about you, a moronic pretty boy." "I am not a moronic pretty boy. I can't help it if I'm hot." "Don't flatter yourself, baka. Besides, she's the Pharoah's girl." "Whatever. I think there's hope for me yet. Besides, they're not official." "Don't count on it, you narcissist." "Why not? I heard she said that I was cute in a Ricky Martin meets The Mummy sort of way. Bakura burst out into hysterical laughter "Ricky Martin?! HAHAHA!!!" "Yeah. So?" Malik replied, a big, goofy grin on his face. "Ever hear any of those damn songs?! And not to mention the fact that he wears so much tight shit, he reminds me of the pharoah. It's amazing that he can actually move. He's a wannabe pretty boy!" "I don't know. I actually took it as a compliment." "Only you would be stupid enough to take that as one."
"I like some of his stuff."
"He's overrated."
Malik started singing(very well, actually,)while dancing around, adding a few hip gyrations as he did so.
"She's into superstition (hair flip) black cats and voodoo dolls I've got a premonition that girl's gonna make me fall (he then started dancing, before singing again) She's into new sensation new kicks and candle light she's got a new addiction for every day and night She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain she'll make you live the crazy life or she'll take away your pain like a bullet to your brain upside inside out she's living la Vida loca she'll push and pull you down she's living la Vida loca her lips are devil red and her skins the color mocha she will wear you out she's living la Vida loca living la vida loca woke up in New York City in a funky cheap motel she took my heart and she took my money she must of slipped me a sleeping pill she never drinks the water makes you order French Champaign and once you had a taste of her you'll never be the same she'll make you go insain upside inside out she's living la Vida loca she'll push and pull you down she's living la Vida loca her lips are devil red and her skins the color mocha she will wear you out she's living la Vida loca living la vida loca She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain she'll make you live the crazy life or she'll take away your pain like a bullet to your brain upside inside out she's living la Vida loca she'll push and pull you down she's living la Vida loca her lips are devil red and her skins the color mocha she will wear you out she's living la Vida loca living la Vida loca living la vida loca
"SHUT UP!" Bakura yelld. Malik pouted cutely. "You didn't like my singing?" "One word: NO!" Malik sniffled. "Sheesh, everyone's a music critic." "Everyone just hates your singing/screeching." Malik sniffled again. "No they don't." "Yes they do. What do you think started this whole thing?" "That's mean, Kura." "It's the truth and the truth hurts, doesn't it?" "It is not. Bluefire told me not to let you get me down." "Yes it is. And she was just trying to be nice to a pathetic person like you." "Well, when I did the Ricky Martin bit for Bluefire, Aisling and Ryou, they seemed to like it." "WHAT?! What do you mean?!"
"Well, Aisling was laughing, Bluefire was clapping and Ryou was quiet
with a big-ass sweatdrop." " Why am I not surprised? You're pathetic."
"Yeah, but that's why you keep me around." Malik grinned innocently.
Bakura rolled his mahogany eyes. "Just watch your show, Malik."
"Okay." The loveable, handsome, but dim blonde became completely absorbed in the show. Suddenly, Bakura said "Hey, you dropped your note." "Oh. Give it here." "Hold on. It says something." "Give that back! It's private!" Instead, Bakura was reading the note, his eyes getting really big. "Come on, Kura!!! Give it back! It's private!" "Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!" Bakura laughed "You...and...Serenity...HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Oh this is killing me!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! No wait. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh yeah. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Malik snatched the note back from him, shoving it in his pocket as he pouted cutely, saying "You're a dick sometimes."
Bakura stopped laughing and said "That was cold." "Well, you are."
"Shut up Malik. At least I'm not the one that-"
"LA LA LA LA!! I can't hear you!!" "Doesn't shut up." "LA LA LA LA! I AM NOT LISTENING! LA LA LA LA LA!" Bakura started chanting with an evil grin on his face "Malik and Serenity, sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
Malik pouted cutely. "Hey! No fair!" "Life's not fair. Besides, that's payback for you doing it to me earlier." "Are you really that immature?"
"Yes. Bakura continued chanting. Malik was quiet for once, with a really big sweatdrop as Bakura continued "Then comes a baby in the baby carriage! That's not all, that's not all. Thaat baby's being a basketball!" "Okay, you have issues." "Like I said, payback." Malik just Anime fell. Bakura was still chanting.
Aisling looked at the hair dye "Hey, Ryou? How about light brown?"
"I suppose." "Look at the one I'm going with." She held up a container of copper-red dye. "I like it, it suits you, love." "Arigatou." Aisling replied, blushing. "I've always wondered what I'd look like with blue hair." Bluefire picked up a bottle of blue hair spray. "And here's that streak stuff." She picked up a streaking comb-like hair dye. "And it washes out in only one shampoo. Great, because I'l miss my pretty dark brown hair." Malik pouted, before saying "Fine, Bakura. Two can play this game! Bakura and Iris sitting in a tree, f-u-c--" "MALIK!" Malik started imitating him. "BAKURA!" "Stop it, baka!" "Stop it, baka!" "I'm going to kill you if you don't shut your face!" "I'm going to kill you if you don't shut your face!" "ARGH! THAT DOES IT! "ARGH! THAT DOES IT!"
The two partners in crime got into an all-out brawl, hidden behind an anime dust cloud. Various curses, etc...can be heard.
"Okay, now that we've go the hair stuff, we'll need some clothes and underwear and maybe we'll have to use it in the closest bathroom." Bluefire told her. "Okay. Which store do you want to go to? It doesn't matter to me." Aisling asked. "Bluefire?" Ryou asked. "How about over there?" She pointed out a Foley's. "They've got cute stuff,
including a guy's section and we'll also need a few different pairs of underwear." "That'll work." Aisling agreed and Ryou nodded.
"All right, come on." Bluefire said to them.
Bakura had Malik pinned to the floor.
Malik grabbed Bakura's shirt, wrapped his leg around Bakura's, grabs Bakura's wrist and fips him over so that Bakura is on bottom and Malik was on top. "Bluefire taught me that move." He told him "GET OFF ME!" Bakura yelled. "No." "DAMNIT, Malik! GET OFF ME! NOW!" "Not until you promise not to kill me." Bakura pushed Malik off. Malik held Bakura's arm between his legs. "Bluefire taught me that one, too. Plus, if I just jerk my legs on your elbow, it'll break." "Get off." "Bluefire taught Ryou those moves, too." "So, I teach Ryou, too." Malik shook his head. "No, you try to legitamize being a bully." "Can I help it if I'm stronger than him?" Malik raised an eyebrow. "You're definitely meaner.""Just get off me!" "Not until you promise not to kill me."
"Fat chance of that, moron." Bakura muttered darkly. "Then I'm not getting off you." "Don't make me send you to the Shadow Realm." "Eep!" Malik yelped with a really, really big sweatdrop.
"This would look good on you, Ryou." Bluefire gave him a pair of tight, black leather pants. Aisling snickered, while Ryou yelped "I can't wear that!" "Why not?" Bluefire looked in the tag. "The materials are all synthetic." Ryou was quiet, with a really big sweatdrop. "Aww, I think you'd look good in leather." Aisling spoke up. "Yeah, that's just because you-" Bluefire said, snickering. "Bluefire!!!!!" Aisling yelped, slamming her elbow into her side. "Ow." Bluefire said, her voice cracking a little. "What? It's true." "I don't think I want to know." Ryou said. "Just humor us and try 'em on." Bluefire said. "And I'll get a shirt that'll go with, too." "Why me?" Ryou said, blushing.
"Hey, what do you think of this?" Aisling sais, holding up a really cute dark green velour shirt. "It's nice." Ryou said. "Thanks. Aisling found a pair of pants and a skirt to go with it, as well as a dark purple shirt. "What do you think of this?" Bluefire held up a pink t-shirt and a denim skort That's cute! I like it." Aisling said.
"Thanks." Bluefire handed Ryou a shirt. "Here."
"What is it with you and the leather thing?" "We think you'd look hot in it." Aisling told him. "Besides, this is synthetic, too." Bluefire piped up. "Anyway, Baku-chan knows you'd never
be caught dead in that stuff. What about this?" She held up a blue tank top and black leather pants.
Ryou: blushed. "I suppose you have a point." He took the clothes from Bluefire. "Now, I hope that those fit." "You go shopping with Yami way too often." Aisling said to her friend. "Which one?" "Yugi's." "I do not."
"Yes you do. You like him, don't you?" She gave her an evil grin, looking eerily like her Yami. "He makes a good shopping partner." Bluefire said, blushing Aisling gave her another evil grin, looking eerily like her Yami. "Yeah right." "We're just friends.
"Yeah right, Blue." Aisling started singing "Yami and Bluefire sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-OW!!!!! What was that for?!" "Don't start that, please." Bluefire moved her elbow away from where it was jammed into her side. "Oh for the love of Kami-sama." Ryou sighed. "What do you think?" Aisling asked, twirling around once. "You look nice, love." Ryou said, blushing. "Yeah." Bluefire nodded in agreement. "Arigatou." "You're welcome. Oh, what about this? For me, I mean." Bluefire held up a lilac shirt and a pair of black leather pants.
"I like it." Aisling whispered to Ryou" See? This just proves she shops with Yami way too much.""What do you mean?" "The whole leather thing."
Ryou was just quiet with a sweatdrop. "I heard that, Aisling." Bluefire spoke up. "Heard what?" Aisling asked, looking innocent. "Your comment. He's a good guy to shop with. And besides, he usually doesn't
whine when we get to the shoes section. I'd better go try my stuff on." She went into a dressing room. "I'm going to try to find a couple more outfits." Aisling said. "I'll go with you." Ryou offered. "Okay. Hey, Bluefire? We'll be right back." "All right." Ryou and Aisling walked away. "Okay, the skirt's a winner, but let's see the tops with it." Bluefire muttered to herself. "What about this one?" Ryou asked.
"What is it?" Ryou handed her a blue long-flair-sleeve shirt.
"That's pretty. Umm, that might go good with these pants."
Ryou blushed slightly as he nodded his agreement. "Well, both the tops work, but how about the pants. Let's hope that the
Latina genes don't jinx the look." Bluefire took off the skirt and slipped on the pants. "Oh, here's something." Aisling held up a sleeveless black denim dress with delicate embroidery on the top. "Wow, that would look nice on you." Ryou said. "You really think so?" Ryou nodded. "Yeah." "Okay." "I guess those classes paid off, because a year ago, I would never dream
of putting something like this on. But, I think it would look okay with the skirt over it." Bluefire slipped the sirt on over the pants. Aisling grabbed a couple more outfits. "Okay, I think I have what I want. We should probably go find some stuff for you and then head back over to the dressing rooms." "All right. Just do me one favor." "Hmm?"
Ryou: Let's try to keep the leather thing to a minumum, okay?
Aisling pouted. "But Ryou..." "No, Aisling." Aisling sighed. "All right. She muttered under her breath "How does he do that?" "Well, it looks like I shouldn't put a skirt over the pants." She walked out. Aisling walked by a jewelry counter. "Hey, Ryou. Look at that." She pointed out a gold heart-shaped locket that says 'forever love'.
"Wow, that's really beautiful." "Yeah. I really wish I could get it, but I probably shouldn't right now." Aisling sighed.
"Can I help you two with anything?" A jewelry clerk asked.
"Hmm? Oh, no thanks. I'm just looking." Aisling said.
"Can we see that locket? The one that says 'forever love'." Ryou said.
The clerk nodded. "Certainly." She took out the locket and puts it on the glass countertop.
Ryou picked it up and holding it up to see how it would look on me. "It would definitely suit you, love."
"He's right." The clerk agreed, before saying to Ryou "If you're thinking of a gift for your lady friend here, that's definitely what you're looking for."
"Ryou..." "We'll take it." Aisling stared, shocked as the clerk took the locket, putting it in a black velvet box and handing it back to him. "That's going to come to $103.84." Ryou handed her a credit card.
The clerk took the card, swipping it through the machine, and giving it back to Ryou. "Have a nice day, Mr. Bakura. Thank you for shopping with us." Ryou nodded in acknowledgement "Come on, love."
Aisling followed him, still in shock. "Ryou...I...you didn't have to do that." "I wanted to, Aisling." Ryou put the locket around her neck. "Besides, it does look lovely on you." Aisling touched the pendant lightly. "I...thank you." She blushed as she hugged him.
"You're welcome." Ryou kissed her lightly on the cheek. Bluefire walked out of the room, saying to herself "I'd better find some good old-fashioned blue jeans. Hey, I see Aisling and Ryou. Hey! Vicki! Greg!" "Hey, look. There's Bluefire. Hey! Over here!" Aisling yelled as they walk over to her and she was showing off her new locket.
"Hey, look what Ryou bought me! Isn't it beautiful?" Bluefire nodded.
"Yeah! That's gorgeous!" "I'll probably put that really small picture of us that was taken last year in it."
"That one would be perfect for it." Ryou agreed. "It's a locket, so a picture should be in there. And a sweet piccie like
that would be great for it." Bluefire stated the obvious. "Let's keep browsing. I jsut saw some cargo pants with your name on it, Ryou-chan. And it's denim." "I think I'll probably put that picture of us that was taken last year in it." "You mean the one that was taken at the Christmas party?" Ryou asked. Aisling nodded. "Hai. I love that one."
"That one would be perfect for it." "Under the mistletoe?" Bluefire grinned evilly. Aisling coughed, while Ryou blushed. "So I was right."
"I'm not answering that." Aisling grinned sweetly. "But I was right. Okay, here they are." Shye held up a pair of boy cargo pants with dark blue denim. Well, what do you think? "Well, at least they aren't leather." Aisling snickered. "What?" "Oh, nothing. I just think you'd look really hot in leather." Ryou sighed. "Oh, Kami-sama. Let's not get started on this again." "Aww, come on, Ryou-chan." Bluefire begged. "They aren't bad." "Wow. Those are nice." Aisling agreed.
"Thanks. They don't look like what Ryou would normally have, but they're
not going to sag by his butt, either. I don't think. As least it's not leather. Oh, and I saw the cutest denim catsuit when I saw you two." Aisling raised an eyebrow. "Catsuit?" She then imitated Joey. "Why am I not surprised by this?" Ryou was laughing. "Oh, very funny, Aisling."
"I thought so." Aisling replied innocently. "Hey, I was close to getting one once." "Then what happened?" "Then mom saw the price." Bluefire replied sheepishly. "Yikes. How much was it?" "About $50, I think." "Wow. $50? Well, if you want it, go ahead and get it." "Yay!"
Ryouwas quiet with a really big sweatdrop. "I'm going to go try it on!" She went in the dresssing room, coming out with
the catsuit. "How do I look?" "Wow, that's cool looking, actually." Aisling replied. "I think so too." Ryou added. "Really?" Aisling nodded. "Yeah. Get it." "Okay."
"That was *not* funny, Ishtar! My arm still hurts." Bakura snarled, rubbing at his arm.
"Well, it's your own fault, Baku-chan."
Bakura narrowed his eyes dangerously. "How was that *my* fault?!"
"You wanted to kill me. I was just defending myself." Malik went back to munching on popcorn and watching The Mummy Returns. Bakura shook his head and sighed. "Whatever. I don't see what the big deal about Bluefire's lessons
is anyway. Besides, I bet that when she had your arm between those long legs,
you were acting and thinking like a hentai."
Malik shook his head. "I sort of was thinking pervertedly, but Bluefire said that if I tried anything, then she'd break my arm. So,
I didn't try anything."
"You were thinking about it, though, weren't you?"
Malik didn't answer.
"You're a pathetic hentai, you know that?"
"No I'm not." Malik replied, a very cute, goofy grin on his face.
"Yes you are." "No I'm not."
"Yes you are." "Hey, at least I'm not the one who tried to come onto Mai last year at the Christmas party and got kicked in the nuts, unlike someone in present company."
Bakura pointed at him. "Hey, I thought we weren't going to bring that up ever again."
"I lied." Malik giggled hysterically.
"It's not funny, Ricky Martin!" Malik nodded. "Actually, Kura, from where I'm sitting, it's hysterical. You were so stone drunk that it was pathetic. Oh, and I'll take the Ricky Martin thing as a compliment."
"SHUT UP ISHTAR!" Malik pouted adorably. "No!" "Yes!"
"No, I don't want to. Besides, you know it's true. You're just in denial. And I saw you and Iris over by the fireplace making out." "We were not!" Malik coughed. "Denial, my friend, is not just a river in Egypt." "SHUT UP, ISHTAR!" "No. Besides, you know it's true. If you don't believe it, then take
a look." Malik showed them a picture of Iris and Bakura by the fireplace kissing. Both were on the floor. "HOW-HOW DID YOU GET THAT?!"
Malik grinned evillly. "I have my sources." "GIVE ME THAT!" "NO!"
"GIVE ME THE DAMNED PICTURE!!" "No!"
"GIVE ME THE MOTHERFUCKING PICTURE, GODDAMNIT!" "No!" Malik started singing "Bakura and Iris, sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!! First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage!"
"JUST SHUT UP AND GIVE ME THE PICTURE!" "No."
Bakura growled through gritted teeth "Don't triffle with me, Ishtar!"
"What are you gonna do about it, Kura?" Malik tauntingly asked.
"I'll take great pleasure in separating your soul from your body, and I'll make as painful as possible."
"Eep!" Malik ran away. Bakura ran after him. "GET BACK HERE AND GIVE ME THE PICTURE!" "Not a chance! Not until you promise not to kill me!" "FAT CHANCE, ISHTAR!" "THEN I'M NOT STOPPING!!!!"
"ARGH!! GET BACK HERE AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN!!!" "NO!" "MALIK ISHTAR!! GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW AND GIVE ME THAT PICTURE!!!!!"
"NO!" "GET BACK HERE NOW SO I CAN KILL YOU AND SEND YOUR PATHETIC REMAINS TO THE SHADOW REALM!" "NO WAY!" Malik hid in an evergreen tree.
Bakura climbed up after him. Malik jumped down and ran down the street, by the gas station. Bakura ran after him, shoving people out of his way. "Move it! Stupid mortals!"
Malik ran into the Domino City Mall, while Bakura was still chasing him. Malik ducked into Foley's and ran into Bluefire, nearly knocking her into a mannequin. "Hey! Watch it, baka!" She yelled, before turning around and notices- "Malik?! Aye, mierda!*" "It's okay. I'm not after you. Bakura's after me, so he might have forgotten you three." "Que estas haciendo?%" "I pissed Kura off by showing him a picture and now he wants to kick my ass." "PENDEJO!^ You just flashed el rojo$ to el toro^" "Lo siento-`! I need your help." Bluefire thought for a while. "Fine. Callete y seguirmi@"
Malik folowed her. "Muchas gracias~."
"De nada`." (*Oh, shit! %What did you do? ^You idiot! [a mean way of calling anyone that] -` I'm sorry $the red ^The bull @Shut up and follow me. ~Thank you very much `You're welcome)
They took off running. "Hey, look." Aisling said. "Here comes Bluefire...oh crap."
"What's wrong?" Ryou asked. "Look who's with her." "Malik?!"
Bluefire came up to them, Malik in tow. "Come on, you two. We have to go. Now." "Okay? Did I miss something? And why is Malik with you?" Aisling asked. "Relax, I'm not going to do anything. I ended up ticking Bakura off with a picture and now he's after me, so he might have forgotten about you three." Malik explained.
"Oh shit! Okay, come on. I have an idea."
They all took off running again, shoving past a bunch of people in front of us as we head for the escalators.
"EXCUSE US! COMING THROUGH! MOVE IT!" Aisling yelled.
Shoving past people on the escalator, they finally stopped in a fairly deserted area on the second floor. "Do you think we lost him?" Ryou asked. "I...I think so, I don't see him anywhere."
"So what's your plan?" Malik asked. "Two words: Glamour spell." Aisling replied. "Glamour spell? So that's how you did it. Are you sure it'll work?" Malik asked. "Yeah, it worked earlier, didn't it?" "Point taken." "All right. Here goes nothing." Aisling started to chant in ancient Egyptian. A bright glow surrounded them for a few minutes before finally disappearing. Malik looked in a nearby mirror. "Wow, it actually worked." He was paler, with dark brown hair and gray eyes, and was wearing a black t- shirt and denim jeans. "I'm impressed. I didn't know you could do that. How long does this last?" "Arigatou. Iris taught me that trick. This particular one lasts about 24 hours."
"So now what?" Ryou asked. "We should probably get going soon, before Yambaka finds us. Let's go pay for this stuff and get out of here." Bluefire suggested. Aisling nodded. "Good idea." "Oh, one thing. Anybody want a swimsuit?" Bluefire asked. "WHY?!" Ryou, Aisling and Malik asked. "Simple. We're poolside at a hotel, so why not go swimming?" Aisling blushed furiously, looking over at the two guys. "Umm, I suppose you have a point."
Ryou and Malik nodded in agreement "All right then. Onward troops!" Bluefire exclaimed, pointing to a section dramitically. "Okay, you're starting to sound like Joey no baka now." Aisling said.
Aisling, Ryou and Malik sweatdropped and asked "How so?"
"I could be sounding like Peggie." "GAH!" Aisling fell over anime style.
"Okay, I did *not* need *that* mental image." Ryou yelled.
"We didn't either!!" Aisling and Malik yelled.
Bluefire shrugged. "Well, it's true." Aisling nodded. "Hai, but still. That is just all kinds of wrong." "Okay, okay, okay. Let's pay for this stuff and get to Banana Republic or Target or somewhere that sells swimsuits." "Sounds good to me. Maybe we should go out the back way."
"All right. Come on, guys." "Is there a back way?" Malik asked. Bluefire nodded. "Yeah. At least there should be. I know about Foley's more than anyone here, I bet." "Okay, not asking, not encouraging in anyway." Ryou said with a sweatdrop.
"What? There were like two Foley's back home."
"Well, let's go then." "Good idea. I think I just spotted Bathead a few seconds ago. Here goes nothing, time to see if this will actually work." Aisling replied. Bluefire gestured towards the hat racks. "Here, everyone grab a hat and let's get out of here." "Okay." Malik grabbed a lady's straw hat with a big flower on it.
"Um, Malik? That's a girl's hat." Ryou said. "So?" Bluefire and Malik asked in unison. Bluefire grabbed a black cowboy hat. Aisling snickered at Malik as she grabbed a dark blue bucket hat and pulled the brim down to cover her eyes somewhat. "Very attractive, Malik. " "Thanks."
Aisling and Ryou had a really big sweatdrop. "Is everyone ready?" Bluefire asked. "I know I am." Aisling replied. "So am I." Ryou added. "That makes three of us." Malik added.
"All right, let's head out. Onward troops!" Bluefire said. "What did I say about saying that?" Aisling asked.
"Nothing to my knowledge. But you did say I sounded like Joey."
Aisling Anime Fell."What?" Bluefire asked.
"Not asking, not encouraging in any way." Ryou replied with a sweatdrop.
"I'm not either." Malik added. "What?" Bluefire asked, before she added "I just did some thinking and we need to leave the floor we're on. What floor are we on, anyway? This Foley's is bigger than the ones back home." "I have no idea. Ask Ryou." "Well?" "We're on the third level I think." Ryou told her. Bluefire nodded. "Okay, so now we just need to figure out where the closest door to the parking lot is then. Any ideas?" Ryou gestured to the right. "That way, I think." Bluefire nodded. "All right. On...!" Aisling clamped a hand over her mouth. "Don't even say it, Bluefire. She wriggled free. "What?"
" I know what you were going to say. "What was I going to say?" Bluefire asked innocently. "Oh no, you're not going to get me to fall for that one." "What do you mean? Fall for what one?" Bluefire asked innocently. "The whole "onward troops!" thing..." Aisling said before she even realize what she was saying and fell over anime style. "Oh crap." "Looks like I just did." Ryou snickered a little. "Hehe, she has a point." "That's for making all those me liking Yami cracks." Bluefire replied smugly. "Well, it's true. You know you two like each other. And yes, I am sure he does, I overheard him telling Yugi about two weeks ago. He's just too scared to admit it, just like you are. Hmm, maybe I'll have to do something about that..."
"DON'T YOU DARE!!" Bluefire yelled. "Awww, spoilsport. Why not?" "Do I really need to answer that question?" Aisling grinned evilly, looking eerily like Iris. "Yes, you do. Besides, I don't know why you're making such a big deal out of this, I think it's kind of cute myself. And you know you two would make a cute couple."
"Geez, it's not like you and Ryou admitted right away either.
"Hai, but at least we did." "He's a nice guy. And I might admit it when I'm ready." She said, blushing.
"Hai, sure you will. Uh-huh, I'll believe that when I see it." Aisling muttered under her breath. Ryou was quiet with a big sweatdrop, while Malik asked "She doesn't quit, does she?" "No, she doesn't. Believe me, I know." "Okay, not saying anything." Bluefire, meanwhile, poked her with her elbow. "Ow! That hurt! What was that for?" "Uh-huh. Sure you will, was what you said." "And I'm not admitting in front
of you three, so forget it." Aisling had the sad chibi eyes. "Awww, come on!" "Sorry, won't work. The last time my brother tried that, I laughed in his face and gave him a swirlie." "What's a swirlie?" Malik asked. "Want we should demonstrate?" Aisling and Bluefire asked in unison. "Nope." "Good boy." Aisling pat him on the head. Ryou and Malik were quiet with a REALLY, REALLY BIG SWEATDROP.
"Didn't you do that to Seto a few days ago, Aisling?" Ryou asked.
"Hai, but he deserved it. He got mad over the "Little Bunny Frou-Frou" thing." Malik started laughing hysterically. "Hahahaha! I remember that! Didn't you post the pictures all over his company?"
"Hai. Half of his employees thought it was funny, whilst the other half were like, What the fuck?" "I take it Seto wasn't happy?" Ryou asked.
"Nope, I thought he was going to kill me, especially when I denied anything being there and told him he should go see a psychiatrist..."
