Me: Here's another spelling story I wrote a little while ago and didn't post… maybe for good reason…
Ringo Starr was looking at a transcript of the show that had taken place that day. Shocked, he looked around him, perspiration on his forehead because of his worry. He saw Seto Kaiba leaning against a wall.
"Seto! Have you read today's episode?"
"No. Who cares?" But Ringo was pervasive, and did not give up.
"Look! Look at this!" Seto quietly groaned. He looked through the dialogue on the paper.
"What is the permutation in the script that has scared you so much?" he grunted.
"There!" said Ringo, pointing. "Read it aloud!"
Seto did so:
"Scene: Seto Kaiba on hospital bed, Mokuba Kaiba next to him.
Doctor enters.
Doctor: Mr. Kaiba, I have the diagnosis of the tests that we did. Unfortunately we have diagnosed you with diabetes. I want to you watch what you eat VERY carefully because you cannot have many sweets.
Seto: shocked But… but…
Mokuba: gaping And it isn't transient so that it goes away quickly?
Doctor: I'm afraid not. It's a bit perforated; in a way, it's like a gaping hole.
Seto: still shocked
Doctor: Strangely enough, the only way to "cure" this is to percolate you with electricity, and to get a transistor to regulate this.
Seto: silently momentarily … you're going to electrocute me?
Doctor: hasty No, Mr. Kaiba, that's not what I meant at all!
…and it continues." Seto looked up. "I'm diagnosed with diabetes? What sick person wrote this script?"
(THAT IS THE BEST LINE EVER AND EVERYONE AGREES!!!!!!! "…You're going to electrocute me?" LOL!!!!!)
"I don't know," said Ringo, shaking his head. "The only sign of a writer was a line that stretched diagonally across a square so it cut it into two triangles."
"It's translucent now!" said Seto. "There is only one person that I know of with that signature!" He took out his laptop and attached a peripheral onto it. He turned on the communication device. "Mokuba, are you there?" he asked.
The voice of his younger brother came through. "Sup?"
"Did you write today's script?"
"Yeah, why? Need a copy? Or should I change the perspective to another person's?"
"Will the changes be permanent?" asked Ringo. "Or will you be able to change them again?"
"Wait a minute…" said Mokuba's voice slowly. There were a couple of clicks, then Mokuba was back. "Sorry, the gang's with me now, and I needed to turn on the transmitter so that they could hear too."
"Why?!" said Seto. "I don't want my voice permeated through your surroundings!"
"Your voice is too annoying ta be a dialysis of da air," came the voice of Joey Wheeler.
"Oh God, it's the mutt," muttered Seto.
"Hello there!" said Ringo cheerfully.
"Hey Ringo!"
They continued to talk a while. Suddenly…
It was quite suddenly that Mokuba screamed.
"What's wrong?" asked Ringo and Seto immediately.
"It's… gasp it's… oh, GOD, that scared me!" But then Mokuba started to… laugh.
"What. Happened." This was Seto.
"Well, eh, ya see Kaiba," said Joey. "A gardener came through with a mask on, and, well, ya know, it scared us. He was carrying some of dose perennial flowers too."
Ringo and Seto looked at each other with identical flat expressions on their faces.
"You screamed…" began Ringo, "because of that?"
Mokuba and Joey laughed.
