-At Alexia's house, in a spare bedroom at the end of the main hall-

Marik: -stares lovingly into Natri's eyes while stroking her hair- I love you Natri.

Natri: -looking up into Marik's eyes- I love you too Marik.

Marik: -bends down to kiss Natri-

Talra: -walks into the room- Hey guys, we- Oh sorry.

Marik: -straightens up- Uh, hi Talra.

Natri: -blushes- Hello.

Alexia: -also walks in- Sorry to interrupt guys, but it's time for the party to begin.

Natri: -smiles and nods- Alright.

Marik: -sighs- We'll be out in a minute.

Talra: -smirks- Ok, have fun.

Natri: Talra…

Talra and Alexia: -leave and close the door behind them-

Marik: Well, so much for that idea.

Natri: -laughs- Yes, Alexia and Talra do seem to have good timing for things, don't they.

Marik: -smiles- Yeah, I guess we should go out and enjoy our pre-wedding party.

Natri: -looks up at Marik smiling-

-They walk out of the room holding each other's hands-

Elektra: -runs up to them with her hair flashing- HI GUYS! GREAT PARTY! -bounces on the balls of her feet-

Tancred: -sighs- She had sugar.

Natri: -nods- I can tell.

Kiya: -is wandering around- Wow, this place is huge!

Talra: That's why we are having the party here.

Alexia: Yeah, I think everyone is here except for Joey and Serenity.

-Doorbell rings-

Yugi: -shouts- I'll get it! -answers door- Hi guys!

Serenity: Hi Yugi!

Joey: Heya Yuge! Hey, buffet table!

Alexia: Uh oh. Good thing there's an endless supply of food.

Marik: Is that possible with Joey here?

Talra: Amazingly enough, it is.

Joey: -grabs about five plates of food and sits down next to Tristen- Hey Tristen.

Tristen: Hi Joey. -sees Serenity- Hi Sere-

Duke: -cuts in- Hello Serenity! It's nice to see you here.

Tristen: -is making strangling motions with his hands in the background-

-Meanwhile-

Bakura: Congratulations on the engagement guys.

Natri: Thank you Bakura.

Bakura: So when's the big day?

Marik: -beaming- Two months from now.

Alexia: Where are you guys going for your honeymoon?

Natri: -smiling-Egypt.

Alexia: Cool.

-Back over at the table-

Duke: So Serenity, want to go sight seeing some time?

Serenity: That would be great!

Tristen: You know Serenity, I know some very good places for sight seeing.

Joey: Alright, both of you lay off my sister.

-On the other side off the room-

Kiya: Hey Yugi, have you seen Atria and Mokuba?

Yugi: I think they went off into one of the game rooms.

Kiya: Alright. -goes off in search of Atria-

-In Game Room A-

Atria: -is shooting at targets with a laser gun-

Mokuba: Nice aim, but not as good as mine! -shoots at some moving targets- Too bad that Seto had to work.

Atria: Uh, yeah, too bad.

Kiya: -comes into the room- Hey Atria, Mokuba, are you guys going to join the party or not?

Mokuba: Yeah! -runs out-

Atria: I'm coming. -puts up the laser guns and follows Kiya-

-Back with Marik and Natri-

Marik: This was very nice of Talra and Alexia to throw us this party.

Natri: Yes, very. –jokingly- Too bad we can't seem to get some more alone time though.

Marik: -laughs- I agree with you on that.

Talra: -walks over- We are getting ready for the first event. Just thought I'd let you know.

Natri: Ok. What is it?

Talra: -smirks- You'll see.

Marik: Why do I get the feeling that this first event was planned by Alexia?

Talra: Cause it was.

Natri: This'll be interesting.

Alexia: -loudly- May I have everyone's attention please!

-Room quiets down as all eyes turn to Alexia-

Alexia: Welcome everyone to Marik and Natri's pre-marriage party! It is now time for the first event!

Elektra: YYYYYAAAAAA- -mouth is covered by Tancred's hand-

Alexia: -As I was saying, we will all split into groups of two or three. I will inform you as to the rest of the rules in a moment.

Duke and Tristen: I'm with Serenity!

Joey: Neither of you are. She's with me.

Duke and Tristen: Awe….

Tristen: Come on man!

-The room grows dark and cold-

Marik: Oh no, Alexia!

Alexia: -smirks- The first event is a monster race. Each team will summon a monster to ride on. It doesn't matter whether the monster runs or flies. The first team to cross the finish line wins a plasma TV.

Joey: O.O Are you serious?!?!?

Alexia: Yep. You can take any route that you want to get there, the only rule is, DON'T hurt anyone.

Tancred: Uh, what finish line?

Alexia: You'll see.

-The Shadow Realm transforms into a series of terrains-

Atria: Nice.

Talra: Everyone summon and mount your monsters!

-The monsters are summoned and everyone scrambles on, a few falling off and having to climb back on-

Alexia: On your mark-

Talra: Get set-

Talra and Alexia: GO!
