OA: Hullo kind reviewe- *gets hit by a flaming tomato* ACK! XX'

YA: *helps OA up* I told you the reviewers would be mad you haven't updated in such a long time.

OA: @.@ owes.

YA: *sighs* On behalf of Otaku Amanda, she would like to apologise for the void of no updates. Here are the reasons she didn't update you may chose which ones are acceptable for you.

OA: *gets list out and begins to read*

- Saw Freddie VS. Jason and spent a good deal of time I would have used to write the next chapter to react the fighting scenes.

- Bought The Two Towers on DVD and watched it 5 times (so far).

- Spazzed out for about half a day after seeing the 10 minute Return of the Ring preview.

- Spent all day giggling and yelling "SHAMAN KING! YAY!!!" after I watched the Shaman King premiere.

- Went though LOTR withdrawal after finally realising I've finished the books.

- Realised I still haven't read The Hobbit and celebrated with Ale.

- Had to feed my Ragnaok Online Addiction

- spent hours at Walmart trying to convince the manger to let me buy the talking gollom statue for $ 20. (Canadian).

- Soul Calibur II

- Got in fight with Pegasus Cardboard cut out. Was in coma for 3 days.

- Thought my friend had Monkey Poxes and spent one week in a big plastic bubble

- Digimon withdraw. Not a pretty thing.

- Stood in line for 6 hours to get tickets to see WWE. Got to the ticket both just as they sold out. Went home and found out my Yami had ordered us tickets over the internet. Spent the rest of the day crying.

- Bite by strange bug. Spent rest of the day in strange place getting needles from people in bio-hazard suits.

- Ran Zack from Paradise Hotel over with a car. Felt good. Spent 2 hours in jail because no one really cared.

- School

- Remembered Seto-sama doesn't love me. Spent the rest of the day singing "Love Lifts us up Where we Belong" and weeping quietly in a corner.

- It was Mars' fault.

YA: There you have it folks! Valid reasons why she didn't write the next chapter.

OA: ^_^ Don't hate me!

Seto: I still hate you…. Slightly more in fact.

OA: *jumps on Seto's back* I KNOW YOU DON'T! ^_^

Mokuba: "Otaku Amanda does not own Yu-Gi-Oh! She claims she owns Ni-sama, but she doesn't! Ni-sama is the coolest!"

Bakura: On with the Fic!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yue: On the last thrilling Chapter of TDFH, the gang escaped the evil Téa's clutches by high jacking a bus. Yami meet a new friend but sadly, Yami fell off the bus. Kaiba-boy threw his briefcase at Yami to make sure he wouldn't get back on the bus… but then realised he'd need it!

~On the Bus~

Fred: Noooo! Yami!

Yami Malik: It was his own fault. Nothing good can ever come of friendship speeches. I mean, look at Téa!

Malik: Agreed.

Bakura: Don't worry. We'll meet him at the cruise ship.

Ryou: We're going on a cruise ship?

Yugi: How will he meet us?! He doesn't even know we're going there!

Ryou: We're going on a cruise ship?!

Bakura: … Don't you have some type of telepathic link like Ryou and me?

Ryou: We're going on a cruise ship?!!!

Yugi: yeah… but it's not after six yet and I've used up all my free minutes!

Ryou: Hello?! Since when are we going on a cruise ship?!?

Bakura: *glares at Yugi* that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Ryou: WHY ISN'T ANYONE NOTICING ME!?!

Yugi: Fine, Fine! I'll tell him, but you're paying for this bud.

Ryou: ARGH!

Bakura: *notices Ryou* Oh, hello light. ^_^

Ryou: I HATE YOU ALL! *Sits down*

Bakura: Oo'

~Meanwhile, On Some Road~

Seto: *walking down the road with Yami clinging to his arm* Why oh why did I throw my briefcase? I could have thrown the mutt but Nooooooooooo!

Yami: ^_^ We're stranded buddies!!

Seto: *glares at Yami* we are not 'Buddies'

Yami: Are too! It says so on your jacket!

Seto: *looks at his jacket and sees "Yami's Stranded Buddy" written in purple crayon* … I hate you…

Yami: Now Ka- *lets go of Kaiba* HOLD ON!

Seto: *blinks*

Yami: I just got a telepathic message from Yugi! He said to meet us on the cruise ship!

Seto: …. ¬¬ You're an idiot.

Yami: No! Really!

Seto: There is no such thing as telepathic messages.

Yami: You accepted the fact that I'm an ancient Pharaoh and you were once a priest in another life… so why not that?

Seto: No. I haven't accepted that! I must have taken some kind of awful drug and this is all a hallucination!

Yami: … Kaiba-kun…

Seto: Leave me alone.

~At The Cruise Ship~

Everyone: *on it*

Ryou: no one has explained to me WHY we're on a boat!

Joey: If Yami's not here in 10 minutes… He'll miss the boat!!

Mokuba: And Nii-sama!!

Yami Malik: we get it. Kaiba's your big brother. You can stop referring to him as 'nii-sama' anytime now.

Mokuba: *sniffle* Nii-sama… T_T

Malik: Isn't it weird… that there doesn't seem to be anyone on the boat but us?

Joey: DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUN!!!!!

Everyone: *stares at Joey*

Joey: … what?

Yami: *At the dock with Kaiba* GUYS!!

Yugi: *yells to Yami* YAMI! HURRY UP THE BOAT IS LEAVING SOON!!

Yami: OK! *Looks at Kaiba* Told you they'd be here!

Seto: Like I said, this is all a hallucination. *Nods*

Yami: It isn't! When will you except the fact that there is magic in the world!

Kaiba: NEVER!

Yami: You're immature!!

Seto: I'M immature? Who's the one that goes around clinging onto me and singing the power rangers theme song? You like the pink ranger! I get it so STOP TALKING ABOUT HER!

Yami: YOU'LL NEVER APPRECIATE HER THE WAY I D-

Yugi: GUYS!!! THE BOAT'S LEAVING!!

Boat: *practically left the dock*

Seto and Yami: *swears and runs on the dock*

Yami: Looks like we're going to have to jump!

Seto: ha, like you'll make it! *Jumps and latches onto the side of the very big cruise ship*

Yami: GAAAH! *Jumps and grabs onto Kaiba's leg*

Seto: Get off! You're supposed to fall to a watery grave! *Kicks his leg*

Yami: T_T Do you really hate me that much?

Seto: YES!

Yami: *sniffle*

Seto: *still kicking*

Fred: DON'T WORRY YAMI MY FRIEND! I SHALL SAVE YOU!! *Throws rope ladder to Yami*

Seto and Yami: *climbs up it*

Yami: We're safe! Thanks to Fred! *Huggles Fred*

Fred: Thank you Yami. You have been a dear friend to me, but now I must be on my way to… er… the drycleaners! Yeah! That's it! *Jumps off the boat and flies away*

Kaiba: ¬¬ He can fly?

Yami: Guess so… Let's go find the other's Kaiba-kun!

Kaiba: I hate you.

Yami: You've said it so many times it's lost all meaning.

Yugi: *sees Yami* YAMI!

Yami: YUGI!

Yugi: YAMI!

Yami: YUGI!

Yugi: YAMI!

Yami: YUGI!

Yugi: YAMI!

Yami: YUGI!

Seto: shut up already!

Mokuba: NII-SAMA!! *Tackles Kaiba and knocks him and himself back over the edge of the boat*

Seto: *grabs the rail and pulls them both back on the deck* Don't do that again.

Mokuba: ^_^ You're so cool Nii-sama!

Bakura: Rats, looks like you guys made it after all…

Joey: RATS?! WHERE?! *Screams like a girl and jumps in Yugi's arms*

Yugi: *surprising able to lift Joey with ease*

Yami: *looks around to see everyone but Yami Malik* Oi, where's Yami Malik?

Malik: Apparently we're the only ones on the ship. My Yami is steering us currently.

~Meanwhile, At the Bridge~

Yami Malik: *has a captain's hat on and is steering with an old fashion Caption's Wheel* Chips A'hoy!

~Back on Deck~

Téa: AH-HA! I've found you all at last!

Everyone but Téa: Gosh darn it. It's Téa.

Yami Malik: hey guys! Wazzup?

Joey: Who's steering the boat?!

Yami Malik: Relax. I've got it on cruise control!

Joey: There is no cruise control!

Yami Malik: … 'course there is! Why would they call in a Cruise ship if there wasn't?

Téa: Everyone put your hands in the air… or Honda gets it!

Everyone: *raises hands*

Bakura: NOOOO! NOT MY CAR!!

Ryou: not your car! Honda the person!

Bakura: Oo ???

Ryou: Tall guy? Pointy hair?

Bakura: doesn't ring a bell…

Ryou: Threw the Millennium Ring into the woods?

Bakura: Oh… HIM! Ra, you have no idea how much trouble it was to get that back!

~Flashback~

Bakura: *spies the ring* At last! *Goes to pick it up*

Millions of squirrels: *latch onto Bakura* CHIP! CHIP! CHIP CHIIIP! CHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP! (Translation: NO ONE MUST TAKE OUR GOLDEN STATUE OF INDEPENDENCE! NO OOOOOOOONE!)

Bakura: Falls over HELP! SQUIRREL EVERYWHERE!

~End Flashback~

Ryou: oo' so that's why you're terrified of squirrels.

Bakura: no. It's there little beady eyes… you just KNOW they're plotting something evil.

~Later, in the Brig~

Téa: *locks everyone in an extremely cramped jail* There! Everyone stay there. I've got to 'deliver' you all!

Everyone: Oo; to who?

Téa: You'll see…

Téa's Phone: *rings*

Téa: *answer it* Moshi moshi! What? Could you turn down your phone? Your high-pitched voice is hurting my ears. Ah, that's better. Yeah I got 'um… Ok, see you soon! Lots of love! *Ends the call* we'll be arriving in a few hours. *Leaves*

Seto: … she could have at least turned the mutt into a key chain to make more room.

Joey: Shut up Kaiba.

Seto: Make me!

Joey: I would… but you're all the way over there and I can't reach you.

Seto: That's because you suck!

Joey: That's it! Who's close to him?

Ryou: I am.

Joey: Hit him for me!

Ryou: *looks at Kaiba*

Kaiba: *death glaring at Ryou*

Ryou: Epp!

Kaiba: Damn straight.

Yami: Oi! Who wants some candy? I brought some in my pockets!

Mokuba: I do!

Everyone else: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Rishid: Maybe I should do a special dance…

Rest: NO DANCING!!

Rishid: But-

Rest: NO!

Rishid: TT Awwwwww…

Bakura: This is going to be the second longest boat ride ever….

~Flashback~

Bakura: *in one of those little kiddie boat rides that you put a quarter in and they move back and forth* Dammit! I'm not getting anywhere!

Little girl: Mister, can I have a turn?

Bakura: SHUT UP BRAT! I have an appointment to get too!

~End Flashback~

Bakura: I wasted $400 and six hours of my life on that boat…

Yami Malik: Whoever's hand is touching my butt better move it or else… Oh wait. That's my own hand. ^^ Ok then.

Everyone else: *sighs* ¬¬

~1 Hour Later~

Yami: *has been shoved into the corner so that's all he can see* Ok, let's play I spy! I spy something that is dark…

Joey: …would that be… The corner?

Yami: Yay! You got it right!

Seto: Ra, I wish I could strangle him…

Mokuba: Nii-sama… I can't breathe.

Seto: Don't worry, it won't be much longer…

~4 Hours Later~

Mokuba: *passed out*

Seto: Argh! I hate you Otaku Amanda! You killed Mokuba!

((OA: Oo; Nooooo… He's fine. Watch! *Pokes him*))

Mokuba: *wakes up* I want ice cream!

Seto: phew.

Yami: I have to use the little pharaoh's room.

Yugi: I told you that you should have gone before we left.

Yami: T_T

*REEEEEEEEEEE…. CRRRRRASH!!!!*

Malik: OO did you guys hear that?

Yami Malik: I'm sure it was nothing.

Malik: But-

Yami Malik: I said, "I'm sure it was nothing!"

~20 Minutes Later~

Yami: Ack! My feet are getting wet! What's with the water?

Seto: water? oo'

Yami Malik: OO WE'RE SINKING! AHHHHHHHHH! I CAN'T SWIM!

Yami: AHHHH! HE CAN'T SWIM!!

Yugi: ¬¬ neither can you.

Yami: OO' …. That's much worse.

Mokuba: Ni-sama! I'm sacred. I want to get out!

Seto: Don't worry Mokuba! I'll save us… and by "us" I mean just you and me. *Punches on of the bars*

Everyone: …..

Bars: *turn to dust* POOF!

Everyone: OO' *steps outside of what used to be a jail*

Everyone: *stares at the pile of dust that used to be the prison bars then backs away slowly to the deck*

~The Deck~

Yugi: Quick! To the lifeboats!

Lifeboats: *all explode except for one which happens to be the furthest away.*

Yugi: ¬¬ Why isn't anything ever fair?

Everyone: *runs to the one lifeboat and jumps in*

Joey: *trying to gnaw the ropes to detach the life boat*

Bakura: … ¬¬ here… *hands Joey a knife*

Ryou: I thought I took all your knives ¬_¬

Bakura: I'll always have one more knife light, you should know that by now.

Lifeboat: *plummets to the water*

Everyone: AIEEE! Oo'

Yugi: Quick everyone! I saw Titanic! We have to row as fast as we can or the suction of the ship sinking or go to our watery graves!

Yami Malik: That's great… except for the fact the ors are floating away…

Everyone else: oo' WHAT?! *Looks to see the ors from the boat floating away*

Yami: GAAAAAH! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!

Seto: *pushes Yami out of the boat* Get the ors!

Yami: GAH! I CAN'T SWIM! *Sinks*

Yugi: *glares at Kaiba* Kaiba!

Seto: *shrugs* At least he died honourably. U_U

Yami: *resurfaces with the ors* I've got 'um! *Gets back in*

Seto: darn.

Everyone: *rows away from the sinking ship just in time*

~20 minutes of Rowing Later~

Everyone: *exhausted*

Joey: Hey look! *Points to a Seagull* A seagull means we're close to land! WE'RE SAVED!!

Bakura: or it means it came to the middle of the ocean to die…

Seagull: KAWW! *Plummets into the water*

Everyone: oo'

Joey: ¬¬ Y'know, I bet it wouldn't have died if you didn't say anything!

Bakura: I'm sure it would have.

Yue: Looks like our heroes are lost at sea? Can anyone save them now? Tune in next time to find out!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~The Otaku Amanda Rant Corner~

OA: *reading Shounen Jump while eating cheese-doodles* Has anyone realised that Yami, Seto and Mokuba are really evil in the manga?

Yami: I am not!

OA: You've killed countless people!

Yami:…. They had it coming ¬¬

Mokuba: I'm to innocent to be evil.

OA: Oh? Then what about threatening to cut Yami's figure off? Or Poisoning poor Jono?

Jono: Poor me.

Mokuba: eheh… that wasn't me!

OA: And you! *points at Seto*

Seto: oo' Me?

OA: The only evil thing you've done so far really was hit Yugi with your briefcase… but I'm sure you do more! *glares at the three*

Jono: *reading the manga* Wow. I really get beaten up a lot in this don't I?

Seto: *shrugs* I got off easy ^_^

OA: well kiddies, It's that time of year again! The days have begun to get shorter and the winds have become colder! Halloween is just around the corner!

YA: Not everyone is a crazed Halloween fanatic like you….

OA: WELL THEY SHOULD BE! ^_^ I've already got my costume. I'm going to be a Wizard or a Hunter depending if I can make a decent looking wizard staff.

YA: pff…

OA: Oh, you're just sour because I owned you in Soul Calibur II!

YA: IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE! I used perfect techniques and strategy while you simple button mashed the entire time!

OA: *shrugs* I have the gift YA, that's all I can say!

YA: *takes batteries out of her Gamecube wavebird wireless controller and tests them* …. ¬¬ It wouldn't have anything to do with the batteries being low now would it?

OA: *looks around nervously* Of course not Yami! Eheheh… oo'; JA EVERYONE!
