"What about Ryou?"

"Hn? What?" Ryou asked.

"Would you mind refereeing our race?"

"Umm, sure. Okay. Now, wade to the end of the pool." They did so. "Ryou, tell us

when to start.

"Okay, on your marks, get set...go!" Both started swimming, unaware that a certain dark-haired boy with a dice

earring and his groupies just came by.

"Hey, Ryou! You want to help me dunk--aye mierda!!!!!!" Aisling said.

"What's wrong?"

"Look over there. It's dice boy and his groupies. I hope they didn't see us."

"What are they doing here, anyway?" Malik asked. Aisling shrugged. "Search me."

"Well, if worse comes to worse, I guess we could always ask Yami to Mind Crush him."

Aisling&Ryou had a REALLY BIG SWEATDROP.

"And you think I'm a nutcase?!?! He's definitely worse than me." She pointed to Malik, who pouted again.

Ryou turned back to Yami and Bluefire, just in time to see who won. "Ryou. Who won?

"Actually, I think it was a tie."

"Rematch?" "I guess." Bluefire spotted. Devlin and his groupies. "Aw man! Look who's here."

"Oh, for the love of Ra!" Yami groaned. "We just can't seem to get rid of them. Damnit!"

"Yeah, we saw them when they came in. Let's just hope they didn't see us." "I hope not. But I think he must have somehow sensed we were gone and

somehow followed us."

"Grrrr!! What does he have, a frickin' radar or something?!" Aisling snarled.

Bluefire shrugged. "Beats me." "Same here." Malik added. "Would anyone have any objections to me sending them to the Shadow Realm?" "No." The others said.

"Better do it quick, because he's looking this way." Bluefire added.

"Yay!!" She used her magic to banish him and his groupies to the Shadow Realm. "It's a good thing we're the only ones using the pool right now, otherwise I would have had to think of some way to explain that to people, and I really don't want to."'Thank Dios for that. Bluefire aded.

"Hai, no kidding." "So, what now?"

Aisling&Ryou yelped "ACK!!!" and Aisling said

"Oh, so that's how you want to play it, huh? Well, two can play that game!" They did the same, drenching her, continuing, until Bluefire heard the door open.

"Okay, Aisling. You might want to return Duke to normal now." Bluefire said.

"Why?"

"Because I think somebody's coming. You'd better do it quick or we're

dead."

"Oh, all right. But I'm teleporting them out of here and erasing their memory of seeing us here." Aisling said, pouting cutely.

"Okay, but do it fast."

"Okay." Aisling did so. "Whew, that was a little too close for my comfort. I don't know about you guys, but has anybody seen my wits? I know I had them around here just a few minutes ago."
