Trent- She keeps updating and updating and updating.....

Hicky- I'm the Energizer Writer! Naw, I just had all this stuff writen before... and now I'm done... So I have to go back to writing it until the part where they get together, cause that's written too.

Trent- Hicky doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh or the dubbed versions.... I think I should give up my job as writer's block.... I suck big time.

All Out There

Gaia looked at the ritual somewhat shocked. "You don't know what being gay is?" he asked flat out.

"Well, no. I can't say that I do. Maybe if you explained it to me then I might know what it is to... umm. what did you say again?.... to be gay was it?"

"Yeah....." Gaia drifted off, trying to think of a way to explain what being gay was. "Well, umm, do you now what love is?"

"Love, why yes. Love is defined as a profoundly tender, passionate affection for a person, especially when based on sexual attraction. It can also be defined as a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as well as..."

"Okay, okay! I get it... you know what love is, sheesh. You're like a dictionary." Luster smiled sheepishly not knowing if what Gaia said was a compliment or not. "What about lust?"

"Well, lust is intense sexual desire or appetite. Or a passionate or overwhelming desire or craving. Oh, and also the first four letters of my name." He smiled again, but this time with more happiness behind it.

"Okay, Mr. Dictionary. So then what do you have under the definition for gay?"

"... a merry, lively mood?"

"Arrrg, you're like an old dictionary!"

"Hey! That's not very kind. Don't be such a callous card!"

Gaia was snapped back from his thinking. "Oh, sorry. I didn't mean it to be, well, mean.... I just don't think that I'm going to do a very good job at explaining this..." he stopped to take a deep breath to calm himself down. "Okay, now that we've defined love and lust, let's use that in the explanation..."

"Okay," Luster said nodding.

"So here's another question for you... do you feel love or lust toward any certain monsters?" Gaia asked really not wanting to be the one to explain what being gay was.

"Of coarse not. I've only been alive for an hour or so. How could I already be in love, or even in lust for that matter."

Gaia's head dropped into his lap and he rubbed the sides of his head. "Yeah, you're right, stupid question... well, how 'bout... do you find anyone attractive?"

"Yes, there are some mighty fine looking monsters in this mansion." Luster nodded to solidly confirm his statement.

Gaia reached out his hands, palms upward, and grabbed at the air to signify the wanting of more information.

"What are you doing?" Luster asked confused.

"Need more information. Who? Who do you find attractive???"

"Well, I really do think that that information is for me to know and not you."

"But.... I can't explain what being gay is unless you tell me," Gaia whined and pleaded at the said time.

"If you really must know then... I'd have to say... Dark Magician looks like a tasty little dish," Luster said while picturing the monster who had greeted him to the deck.

Gaia went slightly wide eyed, then covered his mouth, stifling the laughs that were making themselves more apparent by the second.

"Oh dear! What has gotten you all energized?" Luster asked, looking very confused.

"Oh man..." he began to calm down. "It's nothing, really. I've just never heard Dark described as a 'tasty little dish'.... oh, and the answer to the gay conundrum is... you are."

"I am? How did you figure it out?"

Gaia looked somewhat puzzled. "Well, because of the fact that you're attracted to guys."

"Well, I am a homosexual. I knew that.... so being gay is like a short way of saying homosexual. I understand now. Well I suppose I would be gay then..."

Gaia was wide eyed again and a little angry. "Homosexual? You knew all along but just because I asked you the question in a more relaxed term, you didn't know what I meant?!"

"Oh my, well yes, that does seem to be the case.... my, you do look quite adorable when you're angry Gaia..." He said smiling slightly seductively at the other monster.

"Oh, well..... Luster, man, I'm flattered," he said scratching the back of his head. "I really am, but you see, I'm not gay."

"Oh, sorry then. Won't come on to you again. Promise. Didn't mean to make you uncomfortable or anything like that. But my way to find out sure was quicker than yours was." He started chuckling.

"Oh shut up," Gaia said while lazily lofting a pillow onto Luster's face. They both laughed and resumed their pillow fight.

deet

After Dark had greeted Luster he walked back to the mansion. Celtic had been right behind him so he had to make it look like he was going back to his room. He walked up the three flights of stairs then jogged over to the elevator. It was time for Cee, Gee and him to have a little chat... Dark walked along one of the halls of floor twelve, looking back and forth at the graffitied doors. Finally he came to a door that was covered in paint and had an odd crest with a large C and G on it. 'Guess this is the place...' Dark knocked on the door a was slightly surprised when it opened almost immediately.

"Hi Celt-!...... Dark Magician?????" Gee opened the door expecting to see their one and only friend that visited them.

Dark walked into the room without being invited and proceeded to shock Cee.

"What the hell? Dark Magician?... What the hell?"

Dark smirked and went to lean against a wall. "I need to speak with the two of you..."

"About what?" Gee asked closing the door and walking back over to his bunk bed.

"Just a few little questions... about a friend of yours..." Dark kept his head down and talked with a cool, calm voice, that sent silvers down the two guardian's spines.

"Eep, creepy spell-caster voice, burrrr." Gee got kicked lightly by his room mate.

'Don't be so rude! I don't care if his voice is giving you the heebie-jeebies. You know not to act like that!'

"He's right you know. Manners are important," Dark said half dropping the tone he had been using before.

Cee and Gee went slightly wide eyed.

"I'm a spell-caster. I can read minds. It isn't hard." Dark continued looking down.

"And you call us rude. You're looking into other people's private mind-discussions." Gee crossed his arms over his chest.

"Well, I never said that I wasn't rude." Cee laughed slightly at what Dark had said.

"So, what, or who are you wanting to know about?" Cee asked trying to get to the point. Having powerful mages in his room wasn't the kind of company he kept, or knew how to deal with.

"Your friend..."

"We have lots of friends," Gee said happily.

"Liar..." Cee said quietly.

"...From Masters Yugi and Yami's deck?" Dark continued.

"Ahhhhh.... ummmm," both pretended to think. Giving away information about this particular friend didn't seem like the right thing to do. "Nope, sorry. Don't got no friends down in that part of the mansion."

"Liar!" Dark almost hissed, back in the icy-cool tone, giving the two monsters a glare to match.

"For the sake of AMUN! Do NOT do that again!" Cee freaked out from Dark's sudden transformation.

"Hmm hmm hmm," Dark chuckled slightly. "I do apologize. I guess I just get carried away sometimes. But... I do need some information, and you are going to tell me what I want to know." Dark said, after he had regained his composure.

"Alright, alright. We know one monster from Yugi and Yami's deck... Celtic Guardian..."

"Perfect, why don't we continue on that subject." Dark walked closer to the young elves and took up a sitting position in mid-air.

"Ummm, he's an elf warrior," Gee stated.

"I don't want the obvious details you fools. I have seen him before! I know what he looks like." Dark pressed forward for more answers. "I want to know things like, who he's dating? who's he interested in? is he interested in anybody at this point in time? in any particular type of monster?" Dark asked that last question thinking about that damned horse.

"You do want the details don't you? What if we feel that the information we have, like that which you seek, is too private an issue to discuss with you?" Cee asked the mage, showing more courage than he felt.

Dark changed to his dark tone again. "If you don't tell me I will give you pain you can't even imagine. Pain you can't stop or even know where it is. Only that it is unbelievable pain and I'm the one that controls it."

"Ho-ly shit!" the young guardians said, cowering away from the mage at the same time.

"Well, you know. We aren't really that close... heha heha... our info is your info!" Gee said.

'You good for nothing, sell-out traitor!' Cee yelled at him through their link.

'Shut up! You were a micro-second away from saying the same thing!'

"So, I will have my information?"

"Yeah sure. First of all... Celtic is interested in a certain type of monster, he's interested in someone now, but he isn't dating...." Cee started.

Dark sat quietly with a 'you better keep going or the pain will be coming sooner than expected' look.

"Dark Magician... I think you're eyes are on fire...." Gee said almost questioning his own words.

"What's you point? Burning with desire... it's not just a figure of speech for spell-casters. And it ain't going out until I have my information!!"

"Okay, OKAY! What do you want to know first?"

"Type."

"Spell-caster," Gee said, resisting the temptation to wink.

"Really? Well, how about more specific type?"

'Is he asking if Celtic's straight or gay?' Gee asked Cee.

'That's what it looks like... and don't you dare wink.'

"Well, there's this one monster in particular. Really caught Celtic's eyes. He's ears over boots I tell ya. There's no way he's gonna give up on this one. It's a really serious crush. Yep, definitely.... OUCH!" Cee yelped as a sharp pain shot throughout his while body.

Dark smirked, "Please do continue, and do stop stalling. And... I do hope that you're okay."

"Bastard! You wanna know who Celtic's all ga-ga over?!?! Go look in that mirror, it'll tell you better than us! And it doesn't care if you hurt it!" Gee yelled, quite pissed off that Dark had just hurt his closest friend.

"The mirror?" Dark asked himself, wondering if it was a magical mirror or if this meant that Celtic cared about him. He stopped hovering and walked over to the mirror, looking into it for over a minute before turning back to the young monsters, smiling contently. "Thank you. You've been a great deal of help to me."

Gee could hold back no longer. "I knew it! You looove him, you wanna hug him, you wanna kiss him, you wanna fu-" Gee was stopped by a firm hand over his mouth.

'You just couldn't stop yourself could you?'

'Nope, but I think it was funny... and Dark Magician is laughing, so it's all good.'

"Hmm hmm hmm," Dark finished laughing. "Now, you do understand that I was never here right? You do know that we never spoke and therefore Celtic won't ever hear of this encounter."

"Well, I'd rather lie to Celtic than you, I guess..... Alright, you were never here," Cee agreed to Dark's terms.

"But Cee, how can he never be here when he still is here?"

"You're brain-dead, you know that?"

"Uhhhh, he's gone...."

Dark re-appeared in his room and moved over to his bed. Going to pick up his sketch book but instead had to question it's where abouts. "Where the hell is it?!"

Hicky- Oh no! Dark's really getting pissed about that book...

Trent- And how is Celtic going to get it back in there? Dark keeps that magic lock up.

Hicky- That lock that any spell-caster could crack?

Trent- Yeah.... oh, he's getting help... but how's he going to convince them???

Hicky- Showing them a hentai pic from the book! Mwahahaha!
