"I am very dissapointed in you girls." Darien was lecturing Marilyn and
Carolyn on their run-away-to-Africa scheme.
"But Daddy! We weren't really running away, we were only PREPARING to."
Marilyn argued.
"We're really sorry Darien." apologized Tristan and Joey. "We should never
have-"
"It's okay. They trick everyone, including me. Don't bother yourselves
about it." Darien replied, " And thanks for finding them, Tori."
"Right, I agree." said Tori, his face buried in a book, as usual. Just
then, the door opened.
"Hey everyone!" exclaimed Tea. She then walked up to Tori and hugged him.
"Hi Tori!"
"Oh, hi Tea!" he said, miraculously looking up from his book. But it would
have been hard to look at anyways, with Tea's hug barely allowing him to
breathe.
"Awww, what's wrong?" Tea asked a sniffling Carolyn, finally letting go of
Tori who fell over, gasping for breath.
"Daddy is going to put us in daycawe." Carolyn said softly, "And that
doesn't sound like fun."
"Hey Tea, where's Yugi?" asked Joey.
"He went home. I think he wants to be alone for a while, though." she
replied "Go after a while, okay?"
"Sure..." said a confused Joey, as Marilyn and Carolyn tried to sneak away
undetected.
"I suppose then you're right. I'll just have to put you two in Daycare."
said Darien.
"But-" started Marilyn.
"No buts." Darien said sharply.
**********
"Did you hear? That CEO guy is holding a Dueling tournament." Selene said
to Joey.
"Of course I heard! How can an important Duelist like me NOT know?" Joey
bragged.
"Selene, please call him Kaiba." requested Yugi politely.
"No." said Selene dangerously. Everyone sweatdropped. Around Selene, that
happened a lot.
"I'm still trying to get the whole spirit situation." said Tristan
wonderingly, "Yugi has a spirit that's an Ancient Pharaoh. Selene has two
spirits, which are curses or something. And Selene was in Egypt as some
Priestess. So was Kaiba."
"That's how it seems." Tea said.
"Selene, do your spirits look cooler than you? Like how Yugi's looks cooler
than him?" asked Joey. Yugi fumed.
"No, I'm way better." Selene said haughtily.
"Well call them out or something, I want to see them." Joey said. Selene
looked worried.
"This I have GOT to see." said Tristan.
"Uh... come out." Selene said. Nothing happened. "Please come out?" she
said again. Still nothing. Joey burst out laughing. Tristan was trying
valiantly to hold back his own laughter.
"Did you see how stupid you looked?" he said amid howls of laughter. Selene
glared at him. Smoke was practically coming out of her ears.
"You look stupid all the time, so it's thanks to your dumb influence on
me." but Selene didn't know what else to say. She certainly FELT stupid, so
it was a good possibilty she looked the same way.
"I don't think you can just call them out. My other self doesn't come out
unless I duel so... well you get what I mean." he finished akwardly. He
didn't get the spirit business either, but he would just have to deal with
it.
"So are you joining the tournament?" asked Tea to change the subject.
"I am. It's my destiny." said Yugi. Selene rolled her eyes.
"I sure am. And I'm going to win this time!" said Joey. Selene rolled her
eyes again. She was stuck on a roof and surrounded by idiots. She pulled
out her manga comic book and slowly walked away.
"Hey Selene! Are you also joining?" asked Tristan.
"Well duh!" she said, as she went down the stairs leading inside.
**********
"Nooo! Nonononononononononononononono!" exclaimed Marilyn and Carolyn.
Darien dragged them across the schoolyard. He was dropping off Marilyn and
Carolyn, and Selene and Tea were with him. Joey, Tristan, and 'Yugi' came
along too. They needed to get their Kaiba Corp. Duel disks.
"Stop shouting." Darien said calmly. They didn't stop.
"STRAWBERRY!!!!!" screamed Mailyn. Tristan immediately leapt forward, but
was held back by Joey.
"MY ANGELS!" he shouted, trying to get to them. Joey, Selene and Tea were
forced to take him back to the car.
"SUPEW CUDDLES! SAVE US!!!!" Carolyn cried.
"NO, DON'T SAVE US!" said Marilyn, thinking Daycare was okay compared to an
Egyptian Pharaoh named Super Cuddles.
"Who is in charge of the daycare?" asked the other Yugi.
"Um, the principle. Him." Darien said, pointing to a man. The other Yugi
walked up to him.
"Sir, I challenge you to a Duel. If I win, Marilyn and Carolyn need not
stay in this dungeon. But if you win, you may choose their fate." The other
Yugi said, looking straight into the bald principles eyes. The principle
stared.
"Battle City is that way." he said, in a voice that sounded convinced that
this teen was insane. The ancient Pharaoh opened his mouth to reply when
Selene came and clamped her hand over his mouth. The principle stared with
O_O eyes.
"Excuse me, can you tell me where classroom 7 is?" asked Darien, taking off
his sun glasses. The principle told him as Tea walked up to them.
"I locked up Tristan, I don't think he'll be able to handle it." she said.
"Let's drop them off, already!" cried Joey "We have to get our Duel Disks!"
"Alright, we're going!" said Selene as they walked into the classroom.
"Wow!" said Marilyn and Carolyn, looking around at all the toys. They
walked toward a bunch of kids playing with miniature Duel Monster cards.
Darien, Tea, Joey, and Selene slowly stepped out the class room door.
"HE'S LEAVING US!" shouted Marilyn, "COME BAAAAACK!!!!!"
"Daddy don't leave me!" said Carolyn, crying.
"Aww, don't you want to play with the dollhouse?" asked the teacher.
"No, I HATE DOLLS!" Marilyn screamed, kicking the teacher's shins.
"COME BACK!" they both said, pounding on the doors.
"Why don't you play with the nice puzzles?" asked the teacher, rubbing her
shins.
"Okay." said Carolyn in a quiet voice. The teacher led her to where the
puzzles were. Then she screamed.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
"What?" asked Carolyn.
"That!" she said, pointing on the floor.
"SUPEW CUDDLES!" shrieked Carolyn, jumping on him, hugging him.
"Huh?" he said. Another Yugi was on the floor, his eyes narrowed in
concentration as he finished the puzzles one by one.
" Oh, hello Carolyn. I'm finished. What other thing do you challenge me
with?" The other Yugi said to a small boy.
"Well... No one's been able to do that one." The boy said, pointing to one
with 5,000 pieces in it. The other Yugi reached for it.
"YUGI!!!!!!!!" The door burst open. It was Selene, Joey, and Tea. Selene
grabbed him by his ear, and yanked him out the room.
"But I was doing a puzzle! A Pharaoh isn't supposed to forfeit!" he creid.
"Tough luck." said Selene. Joey and Tea followed them out.
"NO WAIT DON'T- Oh never mind. Who cares?" said Marilyn. "Come on Carolyn,
we have business to attend to." she walked up to the middle of the class
room, and stood up on a chair.
"People of classroom 7, who is your leader?" she asked. The children
blinked.
"Um, we don't have a leader." said a girl.
"Correction: Now you do." Marilyn replied.
"Excuse me, but-" said the teacher.
"Why don't you take a coffee break? We have a surprise for you, so just
take your time." said Marilyn sweetly.
"Well I don't-" the Teacher began.
"Please." said Marilyn, her eyes were big and teary.
"Well I am feeling thirsty..." the teacher said as she left.
"Lock it, Quick!" Marilyn said. Carolyn locked the door as Marilyn reached
into her pockets and started throwing papers at the other children.
"What is this?" asked a little boy, holding a paper.
"These are all your slave contracts and registration forms." Marilyn said
promptly.
"Coooooool!" said the kids, not even knowing what a slave was.
"Yes. From now on, I am your ruler, Queen Marilyn. You have to listen to
every word I say. You have to obey my every order, and wait on me hand and
foot."
"Like this?" asked a girl, standing on one hand and one foot.
"Uh... Yes." Marilyn said. "Now as you all can see, on your contracts are
small symbols. These will represent your occupation. Now get to work, all
of you. We must construct a royal kingdom from this dump."
"Yes, Queen Marilyn!" shouted the kids.
"Carolyn?" asked Marilyn.
"Yes, Queen Mawilyn?"
"Punch everyone in the room. When they punch you back, decide which person
was the strongest. They'll be my Royal body guards."
"I am so honowed, Queen Mawilyn!" she gasped. "What does punch mean?"
"Let us show you." said a tough looking group of kids. They cracked their
knuckles threateningly.
"Uh that's okay. You can be my Royal body guards." said Marilyn, thinking
of the time-out chair she would sit in if Carolyn came home with teeth
missing.
"Yes, Queen Marilyn."
"Well, you guys surround me, and the rest of you, do your jobs."
**********
"I still think we should go save Marilyn and Carolyn from that terrifying
teacher." Tristan said.
"Honestly, Tristan, they're more of a danger to her than she is to them."
Selene replied.
"I think this is where you get the Duel Disks." Yugi said, pointing to a
store with the Kaiba Corp. logo.
"Let's go then!" said Joey. They all went in.
"Hi. We want to enter Kaiba's duel tournament." Yugi said to the man behind
the counter.
"What's your name?" the man asked politely.
"Yugi Mutou." The man typed it in to the computer.
"You are given the highest qualification, 5 stars. Here you go." he said,
handing Yugi a box. "This has your Duel Disk in it."
"I'm Joey Wheeler. I'm also entering." Joey piped up. The man typed his
name into the computer.
"I'm sorry, you only have 1 star. That doesn't get you in to the
tournament." he said.
"One Star!" everyone exclaimed.
"He deserves better!" said Tea.
"What are you talking about?" Selene laughed, "He deserves none." Everyone
sweat dropped.
"Oh wait! My computer must be malfunctioning, you DO qualify." he also
handed Joey a box.
"What about me?" Selene asked, shoving Joey aside.
"Your Name?" the man asked.
"Selene Masaki." The man typed it up.
"Are you sure? That name doesn't exist." It was Joey's turn to laugh.
"But, I HAVE to be on there! I'm 2-card girl!" Selene cried, taking out her
2 prized Dragon-cards, and showing it to him.
"Well maybe..." he quickly typed something on the computer.
"Maybe what?" asked Yugi.
"Maybe my computer's still malfunctioning." he said with a strange glint in
his eyes.
"You have 4 stars. You qualify." He said handing her a DuelDisk.
"Well don't just stand there! Apologize!" Selene shouted at the man. Tea
dragged her out the shop.
*********
"How was school, girls?" asked Selene's Dad.
"Great! Everyone became my slave at once! I didn't even have any
rebellions!" Marilyn exclaimed happily.
"Um... Carolyn? How about you?" asked Tea.
"Okay..." Carolyn said. She sighed.
"Is something wrong?" Tori asked Carolyn.
"No..." she said, sighing again.
"Well I'm pooped. Let's go to bed." Marilyn said.
"Who do you want to tuck you in today?" asked Darien.
"Auntie Selene!" said Marilyn, at the same time, Carolyn said
"Auntie Tea!"
"You don't want me to tuck you in?" said Darien, pretending to be hurt.
"You don't tell stories about Monsters who lose their heads in guillotines
or People maimed for stealing other peoples ice creams." Marilyn said
gleefully.
"Oh Daddy! I'm so sowwy, did I huwt youw feelings?" Carolyn said, looking
up sadly at Darien.
"No you didn't." Darien said reassuringly, "and Selene, Maybe you shouldn't
tell stories like that to Marilyn. I used to do the same to you, and look
how you turned out."
"And what is THAT supposed to mean?" Selene asked raising an eyebrow.
"I mean your job." Darien said.
"So? It's a good thing to solve mysteries." Selene said, as Marilyn pulled
her into her bedroom.
**********
"Carolyn, what is wrong with you?" asked Marilyn. It was midnight, and
Carolyn still hadn't fallen asleep.
"I was just thinking about... pwomise you won't laugh?" Carolyn said.
Marilyn nodded eagerly.
"I was thinking about the Ice Faiwy." Carolyn said. "You'we not laughing?"
"'Cuz that's not funny, It's dumb. What about him?" Marilyn asked "He was
really rude in my opinion."
"I want him to give me a wish. I caught him, so it's only faiw."Carolyn
said. Marilyn bolted upright.
"You mean, if you catch an Ice Fairy, you get a wish?" Marilyn asked.
Carolyn nodded.
"You can even wish for infinite wishes?" Marilyn asked. Carolyn nodded
again.
"Then what are we waiting for!?!" Marilyn exclaimed, jumping out of bed.
"We'we going to go and claim ouw wishes, Queen Mawilyn?" gasped Carolyn.
"Of course! Change out of your PJ's, quick!"
"Thanks Queen Mawilyn!" said Carolyn, hugging her older sister.
"Okay, Okay, paws off." Marilyn said, pushing her away. They changed and
climbed out the window down to the street below.
**********
"Now where would an Ice Fairy live?" asked Marilyn aloud.
"Pwobably in a castle." Carolyn answered. They looked around for a castle,
but there were none in sight.
"Maybe we should just give up." said Carolyn as they passed the 14th block
from their apartment building.
"Never! A Masaki never gives up! Or at least that's what Daddy says."
Marilyn said.
"Hey look! Didn't the Ice Fairy's dress have letters like that on it?"
Marilyn exclaimed, pointing to a tall building, surrounded by towers.
"You'we wight, Queen Mawilyn!" Carolyn squealed. "You'we a genius!"
"I know, I know. I can't help it." Marilyn replied. "Let's go to that
building."
They went a few more blocks. Luckily, no one was awake at 12:56 at night,
or else there would have been trouble.
"Fluffy Baby is scawed, Queen Mawilyn." Carolyn said, pointing to her teddy-
bear.
"Well tell him not to worry, we're here!" Marilyn said, as they reached the
front of the building. They tried the door, but it was code operated.
"He's pwobably at wowk." Carolyn said, sounding dissappointed.
"Let's go home." said Marilyn, sadly. She had wanted a million wishes, and
now she couldn't get them. She hailed a taxi.
"No, you wewe the one that said Masakis don't give up." Carolyn said, as
she stepped into the taxi after Marilyn.
"Awe thewe any castles awound hewe?" Carolyn asked the driver. He didn't
even look at her.
"Nope," he said.
"Well, take us to our house." Marilyn said.
"Where is it?" asked the driver.
"Just drive around, we'll point it out."
"It's your Yen." the driver said, shrugging. They drove for 5 minutes when
Carolyn shouted
"STOP!" The driver slammed on the brakes.
"A castle!" Carolyn exclaimed, pointing to a mansion.
"You're crazy! That belongs to Seto Kaiba!" the driver said incredulously.
"Who?" Marilyn said quickly.
"You don't know Kaiba? He's all over the papers!" He said, shoving one
behind him, still not bothering to notice he was with 2 preschoolers.
"MY FAIWY!" Carolyn cried, hugging the picture.
"How much do we owe you?" Marilyn asked.
"1500 Yen." Marilyn paid him and exited the car with Carolyn.
**********
"How do we get in?" Carolyn asked Marilyn. The gates were huge and bolted
shut.
"Umm...." Marilyn said looking around. She noticed an odd branch sticking
out from the ground.
"Wierd." she said as she picked it up. It was very heavy.
"Caroliyn, help me with this!" she said. They both pulled it up.
"What the...?" They were standing in front of a staircase leading downward.
"Let's go!" Carolyn said, racing down the steps and holding Fluffy Baby
tightly. Marilyn went in after her. They came to a huge library.
"Where next?" asked Marilyn out loud. In reply to her question, Carolyn
opened a door, hidden as a bookcase, with a pair of stairs leading upward.
"C'mon!" Marilyn said, running up into a huge entrance hall. They went in
through the rooms, which turned out to be kitchens, dinig areas, living
rooms, and a bathroom. They went up to the second floor. Marilyn put her
hand on the knob of the first room. She hesitated for a second.
"Masaki's nevew give up, Queen Mawilyn." Carolyn said. Marilyn opened the
door.
"It's him!" whispered Carolyn, edging closer to the brunet's bed.
"Shh!" Marilyn said.
"Let's not wake him." Carolyn said uneasily.
"Masaki's don't give up!" Marilyn whispered back. "Carolyn, you'd better do
the talking, you found him."
"Okay Queen Mawilyn." said Carolyn. She tiptoed nearer to the bed and gave
the boy sleeping on it a small poke. He stirred slightly, then turned over.
"Ice?" Carolyn whispered in his ear. Kaiba sat straight up.
"Mokuba?" he said, blinking in the dark.
"No, my name is Cawolyn, not Mokuba. But if you want to call me that, it's
okay. It suwe is bettew than kid." Carolyn said politely, curtsying.
"How did you get in here?" he shouted at them, his eyes flashing
dangerously.
"We followed you're Fairy Dust. And if you don't mind, please don't shout."
Marilyn said smoothly.
"I'll get to the point. We want our wishes now. I'd like a-" she was
interuppted.
"SECURITY!" Kaiba shouted. In 2 seconds, 5 tough looking thugs came out of
nowhere, followed by Mokuba.
"If that's your son, you ought to teach him a thing or two about manners."
Marilyn said to one of the thugs.
"What should we do with them, Mr.Kaiba." One of them asked.
"Kick them out! Thank God they didn't bring their dog with them." Kaiba
said.
"Nii-sama, isn't that a bit harsh? I mean, look at them." Mokuba said,
"They look so innocent and harmless."
"Don't judge a book by it's cover, Mokuba." Kaiba said, "Take them away."
"At least ask them why they're here at 2 in the morning." Mokuba said
pleadingly.
"What are you doing in my house?" spat Kaiba.
"I'm awfully sowwy, I didn't mean to distuwb you," Carolyn said curtsying,
"but don't we get a wish fow finding an Ice Faiwy?"
"She's so cute!" Mokuba exclaimed.
"She's so insane." Kaiba replied.
"Let's just send them home. Please, Nii-sama?" Mokuba begged.
"Fine! Get them in one of the limo's and out of my site!" Kaiba shouted.
"Can I go , too?" Mokuba asked his brother.
"Whatever." Kaiba said, going to his computer room to upgrade his security
system.
