Authoress Notes: Oh, the band last chapter was Eurythmics. My bad. I still haven't found the Great Cheeseburger source; although I'm almost 100 sure it was Treana. Now, I think I'll leave trippy Kat and Jou for awhile and focus on the Sennen Item users: Isis, Shadii, Yugi, Malik, and Ryou (in no particular order).
Warning: This chapter contains an OC, shonen ai mentions, hentai and squabbling siblings.
Disclaimer: No, I do not happen to have acquired ownership to YGO since the last chapter. If you own YGO and or looking to sell, I am interested.

Waking Up
Chapter Two
"African ho-hos and African Twinkies…"-Yuki, the Wallflower
Meanwhile…
Not Enough Money in the WORLD.
"Icy?" a cute, innocent voice drifted up the stairwell to her private room in her family apartments. "Please? It's just Disneyland…I mean, what could go wrong? They're very family friendly."
"Why is it so important to you that I sign your slip AND chaperone? I thought teenage boys weren't supposed to be able to wait to get rid of their guardians?"
"Well…the school didn't want to be liable for me. So I can only go on the trip if you go to and watch over me."
"It's your own fault for being a criminal genius," Isis told him, sweeping down the stairs and going past him. She figured it was about time to head to one of her other apartments.
"But I'm not a criminal genius," Malik whined piteously as she walked out the door. "That's my yami. AND EVERYONE ELSE GETS TO GO!" He yelled after her quickly retreating back.
"Please, please jump off a bridge," Isis moaned to herself. "Come on, be a lemming!"1
Begging for Change.
"Did she say yes?" Ryou calmly asked Malik over the phone, even as Bakura draped all over him.
"She said no," Malik's voice came through crackly, the dejection still clear in his tone.
"I figured." Bakura snorted, rudely snatching the phone. "I hadn't noticed the floor growing cold as if something below it had frozen."
"The water pipes?"
"Yeah, yeah that's…or hell." 2 Bakura rolled his eyes at the blonde and handed the phone back to Ryou. "Tell me when you're done with the whiny Egyptian."
Get Your Hands Off My Stack.
Shadii opened the door to a smiling Isis leaning on the side entrance wall. "So many plans to make to save the world…" she trailed off, and drew a finger down his arm. "I think I need to unwind."
"I think you do," Shadii replied, leaning forward into her. "Come on in," he whispered into her ear, feeling her smile against his face.
"Sounds like a plan to me."
Pygmy Bank.
Yugi worked the cash register steadily, when Mai walked through the door, looking much as she had three years ago to his eyes. "Kujaku-san!" he exclaimed, his innocent grin fully in place. "I haven't seen you since…" he trailed off, a lost look entering his large purple eyes. He finished his sentence softly, with a sentence of itself, "Jou died."
Mai stopped dead, fully realizing why she had never gone back to the Game Shop. She'd gotten over Jou, but only as much as you can ever get rid of the first person you truly love. And she could see Yugi still well remembered his best friend.
"How could he never tell us?" Yugi asked her softly. "How could he keep something like that a secret?"
"I don't know those answers," Mai told him harshly, her face narrowing. "So don't ask me." Turning on the heel of her boot, the young woman walked to the limo where Seto was waiting for her. "You were right," she informed the blue-eyed boy as she got in gracefully, "This was wrong."
It wasn't long before both Yugi and Mai were crying, and Yami and Seto were helpless to dry their tears.
END SECOND CHAPTER
This was shorter, but it holds the cliffhanger longer and gives you a glimpse of the other characters, including Mai and Seto.
Get your hands off my stack is a lyric from a Pink Floyd song, and piggy banks were made of pygmy clay.
