Thank you to Senshichan14 for EVERYTHING! How did you know that what I wanted was a car that drives itself and plays Yu-Gi-Oh episodes in the original Japanese with subtitles!!!??? OMG! By the way, I have it on good authority that Bakura now sings the Herbal Essences theme song in the shower since you gave him the shampoo, and Yami is addicted to some sort of Doom game. Oh, and Ryou says the leash works wonders when he has to take 'Kura to the supermarket. Hmm. Malik: SHE CALLED ME SUPER SEXY AND GAVE ME SUGAR! Authoress: Oh, yeah, Malik says thanks! ^__^

A special note to I luv Kai: Thanks you so much for reviewing every chapter of both my YGO stories! I appreciate it big time!! ^__^

Thank you also to EVERYONE who reviewed! That's a great present by itself!

Disclaimer: I was just thinking, if I owned Yu-Gi-Oh, I'd be so lazy that I'd probably put out, like, an episode a month. Maybe. So it's awfully good for all of us that I don't own it, eh? Point being, I don't own it, or any other names that ought to have that little registered trademark symbol next to them.

"Now we pick letters," Ryou said. "Whoever gets the letter closest to the beginning of the alphabet goes first."

"No use of Shadow Magic to cheat," Yugi warned.

"Why are you looking at me?" Marik asked, full of righteous indignation. "I don't cheat!"

Yami and Bakura both snorted loudly. Marik made a gesture in their direction that Yugi and Ryou assumed had been quite impolite in Egypt.

"Who picks a letter first?" Malik asked innocently.

"Well, I thought we'd just start from one person, then go around clockwise.." Yugi said.

"But which person?" Malik persisted, somehow maintaining an angelic expression.

"Alphabetically by first name," Bakura announced.

"Alphabetically by first name, going through the alphabet backwards," Yami corrected.

"Prettiest," Marik said. Everyone stared. He shrugged.

"Coolest hair," Malik said, smiling evilly.

"Agreed," Yami, Bakura, and Marik said simultaneously.

Yugi sighed and smacked himself in the forehead. "No! This is not argue about who has the coolest hair night, it's GAME NIGH-"

"Mine is the best, by far," Marik informed the others.

"Well, mine is natural," said Bakura smugly.

"Is not!" Malik exclaimed. "You formed it when you got a body of your own! That doesn't count! Mine, on the other hand," he said, grinning wider, "is completely natural!"

"Says the one who owns forty-five bottles of hair gel," Marik said sarcastically.

"I"LL PICK FIRST!" Ryou shouted.

"Well, you are the prettiest," Bakura said, looking at him thoughtfully (as best he could with the boy still on his lap).

"THAT"S NOT THE POINT!" Ryou yelled. "I'M GOING FIRST SO WE CAN PLAY THE GAME!"

"He doesn't look that loud," Marik commented. "I'm surprised."

Ryou reached into the bag of Scrabble letters and took one out. He took a deep breath before speaking again. "I got an R. Darn."

Marik extended a hand. "My turn!"

"No, it's my turn!" Bakura objected.

"DON'T ARGUE!" Ryou practically screamed. "YOU'LL GO LAST! IF YOU COMPLAIN I WILL GO AND SIT ON YAMI'S LAP, AND I AM NOT KIDDING, TOMB ROBBER!"

"And I thought you had lost it after bowling," Yami whispered to Yugi.

Bakura did something then no one had expected. He turned his eyes downwards and said meekly, "Yes, hikari."

Choosing the letters went pretty smoothly after that, since everyone was in shock over the Tomb Robber's apparent humility. In the end, Marik got a 'B', so he went first.

"Heh, heh," he chuckled, looking at his letters. He began to lay them down. "S-H-I-"

"Hey," Yugi protested. "No bad language!"

"No corrupting my hikari!" Yami exclaimed.

"I know swear words, Yami," Yugi told him with a laugh. "I'm sixteen now, remember? Anyway, I hang around with Jou and Honda, and they swear a lot."

"Oh." Yami appeared slightly puzzled (no pun intended). "But I've never heard you use profanity."

"I was putting down the word 'shipped'," Marik said, annoyed. Both Yugi and Yami stared at him blankly for a moment. "Oh, for the game," Yugi said, remembering.

Malik rolled his eyes in disgust at the two, as his yami laid the rest of the letters down. "There," he pronounced. "What's my score?"

"Actually," Ryou said, "You get fifty extra points because you used all of your letters! Let's see.that's eighty points! Wow, on your first turn!"

"NO!" Yami protested. "I'M the King of Games! I must win!"

"Well, it's your turn," Marik said smugly.

"Fine!" Yami announced. "At least my word is more interesting." Using the 'I' in the word 'shipped', he put down 'L-I-G-H-T'. He smiled at Yugi, who smiled back.

"Stupid," said Marik, leaning backwards in his chair. "You only got nine points!"

Yami's eyes glinted ominously. "You dare offend me, Tomb Keeper?"

"Offense! Offense on you!" Marik screeched happily, pointing the Millennium Rod at him. "Oh, no, now I've offended the Pharaoh! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKK!"

The last sound was produced as Yami pulled out a large spider he'd had in a matchbox in his pocket for three days. Marik frantically leaped into Malik's lap. The boy gave a startled 'oof'. Bakura laughed hysterically.

"THIS IS A DISASTER!" Ryou screamed at the ceiling.

--------- --------

Yugi stared gloomily at the broken remains of the dining room table. Marik had blasted it with the Rod about forty times, apparently forgetting that he could just send the spider to the Shadow Realm. Yami and Bakura had laughed their heads off the entire time, at least until Marik had aimed some of the energy bolts at them.

"Ow," Yami said feebly. He'd caught a bolt in the leg.

"Owwww," Bakura moaned dramatically, not to be outdone. Then again, he had taken one of the bolts in his head, so he probably was in more pain.

"Oh, stop whining," Ryou snapped, then looked alarmed. "Did I say that?"

Yugi nodded glumly. "I think we're both acquiring personality disorders. How the heck did we end up in a fight over Scrabble, anyway?"

"I like you angry," Bakura told Ryou, who sighed.

Marik and Malik, thank goodness, had left in a huff-but not before informing Yami of all the ways they could think of to kill him. Well, Ryou thought, probably not ALL the ways, just the most unpleasant.

"Hmm," said Yugi suddenly. "Personality disorders? That gives me an idea for next week's activity!"

A/N: I might do game night again later, since I got so many suggestions for it, and I like writing it! Sooooooo, what is Yugi's idea? I'M NOT TELLING YET! MUAHAHAHAHA! Er, sorry, I'm being influenced by the characters! I'm going crazy! Wait, I already was... Anyway, please review! ^_____^
