BookDragon: "Hey guys…"
Bill: "Yup another day, another chapter…"
BookDragon: "Please read on!"
Chapter 16: BOYFRIEND!?!?!
/ Okay, he has one card face down in defense mode…what to do…/
"We could always attack."
/Yami does that a lot. I suppose we ought to try it. /
"Okay…how do I attack?"
/Err…you are impossible! Okay… calm down…/
"Are you telling _me_ to calm down?"
/No! I just do it to myself when I get frustrated…can we move on?!/
"What monster?"
/Uhh…what rules are we playing by? /
"I don't know!"
/ Oh yeah this is a piece of cake isn't it? Note the Sarcasm please. /
"Excuse me, but what rules are we playing by?" Tomb Robber looked up from his nails boredly and yawned widely before his voice echoed.
"We're playing by the rules set in Duelist Kingdom, unless that's too hard."
"Nope that's perfectly fine, thank you." Calendae answered, and then quickly started back at the thin slices of cardboard in her fingers while Ann babbled on about strategies.
/ I never use any, mostly because I only have Bill and my brother to play against. It's easy to kick my bro's ass and I don't play against Bill enough. Sorry to say it but we're screwed. /
"Oh don't say that! You've watched the episodes, and you've seen those strategies, their must be something good in at least one of them you can use…"
/Not really. /
"On what account?" Calendae was now squeezing the cards, nervous for the first time, and watching anxiously at the eyes of each monster, as if it were to help them by telling them the best plan, but they only sat their dead as dead.
/ On account of I don't have any cards like that except some powerful monsters and some magic cards that I don't even know work right./
"Oh dear…"
"Something wrong?" Ann glared at his changed expression, at him grinning widely. It seemed Calendae had switched expressions with him now because now she was wearing a frown. They needed to do something; even Ann was smart enough to figure that out.
/ …er…okay, take the one that says Battle Ox over the top and place him in attack mode, but Waboku face down. /
"Got it. Your turn!" Bakura drew and placed that card with his fanned out other cards. Then he hastily took the third one from the right and put that down behind his face down monster in defense mode. It was either a magic card or a trap card.
/ Magic? Trap? Magic…Trap… Okay, he could have a trap card there so when we attack something bad will happen to our monster, and then again, he could have played a magic card to power up his defense monster or just to play it to make us think it was a trap card./
"This game is very tricky."
/ No kidding. What risk do you want to take? /
"I think we should attack."
/ Attack? That's what Yami always does, and then he always gets into a tight spot and finally snatches victory from the jaws of defeat. /
"Your point being?"
/…Oh fine attack. /
"Alright! I will attack your face down card with my battle ox!" Bakura immediately flipped up the face down card.
/Oh damn. /
"I activate Castlewalls!" Obviously his face down monster's defense went up over 1700 so she could attack it with battle ox again. Okay, that was a no go.
/We got to end our turn. /
"Oh. I end my turn." Tomb Robber drew another card and played two more face down magic/trap cards and another monster face down.
/Oh great, draw a card. / Calendae nervously drew one card off the top of the deck.
"Okay now what?"
/Hmm…let's see, we have a Change of Heart, a Maha Vailo, a Book of Secret Arts, and Dark Magician... hopefully my Blue-Eyes will be very close now…/
"How do you know that?"
/ I have two Dark Magicians in my deck, one always stands alone. The other, and I always find this really weird, is always in front or behind my Blue-Eyes White Dragon. /
"That is strange."
/ But never mind that now. Battle Ox is on the field, and I doubt that we can hit the other face down card, so, we should put it in defense mode, if it is attack don't use Waboku, we need to safe that for my Blue-Eyes White Dragon. /
"If we get it."
/ Yeah, if, but for now, put Change of Heart face down and put Maha Vailo in attack mode then equip Book of Secret Arts to it. /
"I put this card face down and Maha Vailo in attack mode. I equip Book Of Secret Arts to it to raise it's attack from 1550 to 1850 and it's defense from 1400 to 1700, but that's not all, Maha Vailo effect lets it raise it's attack 500 per equip card so it's attack raises again to 2350 and I end my turn." Ann didn't want to attack him with those two face-down cards, they could be anything. If they made a strong defense and attack wall they might have a chance. It was better to wait and see with this guy.
TombRobber smiled, and drew another card and put it next to one of his face down monster.
/Great. Something else to worry about. / Ann said a bit disheartened.
"Are you afraid of my face down cards? You should be…if only you knew what I had in store for you…"
"I'm shaking with fear." Calendae replied irritated as she drew.
/ Mystic Clown. Why did I ever put that in my deck? /
"I don't know."
/ Hmm…put him face down in defense mode, maybe he'll get cold feet. /
"You got it. I play this in defense mode, face down, and I end my turn…" Calendae shifted, starting to notice the numb feeling spreading through Ann's legs, but kept eye contact with the game. Ann was looking at Bill, still playing solitaire, getting annoyed. She was trying to save their lives. At least he could have some decency.
/Tell Bill to knock it off…or better yet tell him to get Yami or even Kyle out here./
"Oh Billyboy." Bill immediately dropped his cards in a waterfall affect onto the floor and swung his head in Calendae's direction. She kept staring at the Dark Magician carefully, looking every preoccupied.
"Would you be a dear and contract one of our friends?" Ann was starting to twitch at how lady-like she sounded. I was disturbing. Very disturbing.
And by the looks of it, so thought Bill as well.
"…Yes…"
"Thank you." Bill raised an eyebrow but closed his eyes all the small and started a low hum.
"Scared are we?" Bakura mocked, looking at his cards just the same way.
"Scared you can't win a duel without your pathetic group at your side? How sad…" Ann let her hand curl into a ball but resisted the urge to sock him.
"Where are _your_ companions anyway?"
"For me to know and you to wonder about, Madam." He drew again and flipped a card face down next to his other four trap/magic cards. Ann's face turned a slight green at the word Madam, but Calendae took no notice. She just brushed back a brown banana curl carefully and drew a card from Ann's deck. Calendae almost widened her eyes with deep surprise at the Blue-White Dragon looking back at her with large golden letters reading BLUE-EYES WHITE DRAGON.
/ Told yeah. Play him face down, attack with Maha Vailo, and then stall. /
"Stall?"
/SSHHH! Don't talk so loud! We have to wait for Yami and the others to show up.
"Why?"
/ Because we need their help! /
"…I play this face down and…how is Kakra?" Ann slapped her forehead in dismay. Oh that was wonderful, now she gets to hear about how much Kakra wants to kill her before she dies. Tomb Robber seemed to sense what was going on, probably since Calendae talks aloud and said "Stall" loud enough for a surprise party, but he was good about it, surprisingly, and just decided to play along.
"Oh, she's fine…a bit angry with you, but enjoying her freedom…with me." That sent a splurge of bad images through Ann's mind so fast she wanted desperately to throw up right there. But she couldn't, duh; she was only a phantom of her own mind. Calendae was in control and loving it Ann dared to think.
"That is very good, for both of you. My boyfriend was nervous for the whole week before I had to go on this little adventure, we had no fun in that time he was so concerned, couldn't even eat. I hope he isn't worrying too much about me." Now Ann felt really sick.
/WHAT!?! YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND! / Calendae ignored her completely, setting Ann in a bit of a nasty mood. Bill's mouth hung open for about two seconds until he tumbled over backward and started laughing his ass off. Bakura, a deep white like the color of snow, still looked very very very ill from what his double had just said, and Kaiba was trying desperately not to get angry, although he was loosing that battle because his face was turning a darker and darker purple by the moment.
"Bill! I though you were contacting your buddies!"
"I'm already done with that! Jeez you guys always think it takes forever."
"Because you make it take forever." Kaiba growled and Bill quickly sent him a glare but ended up cracking up at how tight Kaiba's lips had turned and how white. Bakura looked completely dead to the world.
"How long will it be?"
"Not long."
"That's good." Calendae smiled and turned back to Tomb Robber.
"What are you planning?" He smirked.
"Wouldn't you like to know…"
"Every much I would." Calendae replied with a greater smirk. But for now they had to wait and see…wait and see…
BookDragon: "Another short one sorry!" ^^;;;
Bill: *sighs* Please review.
