MG: But! I have another story I'm working on! I don't wanna...
Marik: Fine! Hey... Am I in the next story you're working on...?
MG: Yeah.
Marik: Then by all means, finish this one!

Monica was out of there in a hurry.
"Ohhhh, why'd she go?" Mokuba mumbled, then looked at his big brother, who was standing with one hand on his hip. He was looking at where Monica had been sitting with absolute disgust. Kaiba made an angry noise between his teeth and walked into his office, Mokuba at his heels.
"I think might know... well, I have this hunch... To start..." Mokuba said, ripping a piece of paper out of the printer, "Write something down. Anything."
Kaiba took the paper and wrote "olleH."
"So it is backwards...." A light bulb went off above his head. "Got it. You need to put things forward again."
Kaiba wrote "Olleh."
"Erm... almost."
Kaiba didn't trust himself to speak, but instead looked glumly at the wall. But then it hit him. Maybe something was out of order, and it was making him act like this. He sprang up out of his chair and started to walk around, making sure everything was in the right spot. Mokuba seemed to understand a little of what he was doing, so he helped him.
Hours later they had searched the whole mansion and found nothing out of place. Mokuba suggested the Kaiba Corp building, which Kaiba agreed to with a "Doog Aedi." When they got into the car, Kaiba put it in reverse, and they hit the mailbox, so Mokuba decided to help him with the shift stick. They finally got to the building and went straight to Kaiba's office.
Upon entering, something seemed wrong. Everything was quiet and dark. Kaiba opened the door to his office slowly, and heard noises coming from inside. His eyes narrowed as he and a frightened looking Mokuba walked inside.
Kaiba's secretary stood up from the floor so fast she banged her head on the trophy shelf above her.
"OOWWW, I mean, oh um, sorry, Kai- I mean Mr. Kaiba, just was looking for, um, paper," she said, then ran away.
"The door's this way," Mokuba called out, but the secretary did not return. Could this secretary lurking around his office be what was making him so out of place?
The first thing Kaiba did was check his desk. All the contents were in the right places, so the secretary obviously hadn't taken anything. The drawer she had been looking through contained no paper, and his secretary was supposed to know that...
Mokuba yelled a distance down the hall. Kaiba leapt up and ran, finding Mokuba poised at the door of a janitorial closet. Inside was Kaiba's real secretary.
"Um..." Mokuba said cautiously, "what are you doing in here?"
The secretary mumbled through a bandana tied around her mouth. Kaiba ripped it off and she said, "...little girl came in, and then I was just cleaning up, you know, when she tripped me and put me in here and tied me up but she did a real poor job, but I still couldn't get out because I'm dainty, and then I heard her go into the uniform closet and she put on a secretary uniform and then she stole my wig!" The secretary wailed the last notes.
Mokuba looked at her like she was stupid. Kaiba looked at her like she was mental.
"Well, she did!" the secretary said angrily.
"You wear a wig?" Mokuba said, dumbfounded. "And I thought you were a natural blonde..."
Kaiba sighed and walked off to find the imposter who had been going through his desk. He started checking all the closets down the hall, Mokuba behind him. He finally came to a door locked from the inside. This was the one. He picked the lock and swung the door open wide...
"Aha!" he yelled, and Mokuba couldn't tell whether or not he was saying it backwards because "aha" is a palindrome.
But anyway, Kaiba was looking down upon a girl in an oversized Kaiba Corp ladies uniform wearing a blonde wig. The girl yipped and tried to push past Kaiba, but no one alive has ever been able to push past Kaiba, so she managed to get herself pinned against the wall. The wig fell off. It was...
"Serenity?" Mokuba said with surprise. Kaiba withdrew from the girl who had been touched by that mutt Wheeler on several occasions. She had been touched by Tristan, too. Yuck.
Serenity looked around nervously and said, "I didn't do it!"
"Didn't do what?" Mokuba said.
"I didn't sneak up here and go through Kaiba's desk looking for his dueling deck so I could steal the good cards and have my big brother win a duel against him!"
Kaiba growled.
"Oops... Did I just say that out loud?" Serenity said, putting a hand to her mouth.
"Yeah, you did, and you're going to pay for it!" Mokuba seethed through his teeth.
Mokuba launched himself in an all out attack on Serenity but Kaiba calmly held him back and said, "I keep my dueling deck at my house in a safe."
Mokuba stopped. "Yay, Seto! We fixed your problem!"
Kaiba realized it, too. "You're right, we did!"
"You have a house?" Serenity said.
"Finally, I can talk right again! It must have been her," Kaiba said, pointing to Serenity.
"You have a house? You don't live here?"
"Yeah, Seto, it must have been some weird intuition that she was going through your stuff! Wow, I'm glad we figured that out, or you would've had to go to meetings like that..." Mokuba said happily.
"You don't live in Kaiba Corp? But Joey said..."
Kaiba's secretary hopped over from her closet looking angry. Mokuba untied her, and she ripped the blonde wig off Serenity and stormed out of the hallway.
"But?" Serenity said as Kaiba pushed her out of the hallway and into the elevator.
"You didn't even get mad at her!" Mokuba said, watching as the elevator doors closed on a confused looking Serenity.
"Yeah, well, I decided to save my breath. She's not worth it," Kaiba said as he locked up his office. The two then went home.
Somewhere on the other side of town, Joey started talking backwards because his little sister was in an elevator in Kaiba Corp wearing an oversized uniform going towards the roof level with no intention of pressing any buttons.
.........................................................................
Serenity: Elevators are fun! They go up and down, up and down...
Joey: Taerg.
MG: So yep, that's it for this story, and now I'm free to work on better ones! (Runs off)
Marik: I don't know if she wants you to review or not, but I would say yes just in case. So review.
Joey: Yhw em?
Bakura: Positive. Real positive.
MG: But! I have another story I'm working on! I don't wanna...
Marik: Fine! Hey... Am I in the next story you're working on...?
