Hey again all!!!

{Shells}
Shells and DVD ran up the stairs back to Daricio's room and began gathering up as many of her tins as they could find. Then they hurried back down the stairs and pilied them up on the table.
Shells grabbed the one off the top and placed it in front of her.. It was Daricio's Tea tin.
Shells and DVD prepared themselves for a monent, not sure of exactly what would happen.
//What am I going to say?// Shells wondered to herself. She looked over at DVD who gave her a small nod. He was ready. Shells took a deep breath and pressed the square on the tin.
It glowed slightly for a moment, then Tea appeared, fast asleep on the tin.
Shells wondered for a moment why everyone she and DVD brought over were asleep, then she recalled that it was almost 10:00 at night. It only made sense that everyone was asleep. She should probably be asleep too. They should probably just ask Tea, then not do anymore until morning. She told DVD so. He agreed.
Then DVD reached forward and nudged Tea with one finger. She mumbled softly in her sleep and curled up in a little ball.
DVD nudged her again and she rolled over slightly, still mumbling softly. After a few moments, she opened her eyes wearily and sat up halfway.
"Huh? Wha?" she wondered sleepily, rubbing her eyes with one hand. "Where am I?"
She began looking around. She spotted and began staring at, what was to her, a huge bowl of cheerios near her.
"What's going on here?" She asked herself.
"Tea..." Shells said as softly as she could so that she wouldn't be startled. "Don't be scared or anything, but..."
Tea looked around quickly, searching for the owner of the voice. When she saw Shells and DVD, she gasped and stood up quickly.
"Oh...My....." Tea was shaking all over, not taking her eyes off of them. She slowly took a few steps away from them.
"Uh... Hi." DVD said.
Tea swayed slightly. "I...Uh.....Wha?" She started. Then she fainted.
Shells and DVD looked at each other, shocked. They had never seen anyone faint before, so they had absoulutly no idea what to do.
"Tea?" DVD asked, his voice shaking slightly. "Are you Ok?"
Tea groaned softly but didn't move. DVD hesitated for a moment, then turned to Shells.
"Uh..... I think she should go home now.... We'll ask her tomorrow...." He said as he reached over and tapped the square, making Tea disappear.
Shells gathered up the remaining tins and, with DVD trailing after her, put them away upstairs. Then she said goodnight to DVD and got into bed.
She tried as hard as she could, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not get to sleep. She stayed awake for hours, doing nothing but staring off into outer space in the general direction of the ceiling, and thinking about what she was going to say to the people from her favoite show. And their possible reactions.
//Well, we already know that Joey was scared of us, and he doesn't know anything about Daricio. Tea.... Was most definetly scared of us.... I think Tristan would most likely be scared of us too.... Yugi might... But not as much as everyone else... He has Yami to help him.... Of course, Yami might be scared of us too, so.... And Seto Kaiba.....// Shells shook her head, still thinking.
//Seto Kaiba would probably stay cool while he was here...maybe yell at us...// She grinned. //Then he'd probably get on the internet to figure out what in the world was going on. He'd get so into trying to figure it all out, he'd get himself sent to the nuthouse!!!// Shells giggled slightly.
//Let's see.... I've mentioned Joey, Tea, Tristan, Yugi, Yami, Kaiba..... who else? ..... Oh, yeah... Mokuba! and Yugi's Grandpa.... And Bakura!// Shells suddenly remembered seeing Bakura at the hospital. //I.... I can ask him now!// She realized.
She got up and went over to the desk. She took out a sheet of notebook paper and began to write down questions for everyone, especially Bakura.
She stayed up for the next three hours, before finally realizing how tired she was and going to bed.
//This is..... Very cool.// She thought idly as she drifted off to sleep, mentally reveiwing her list of questions.
**********************************************************************
{The next morning. Yami, then Yugi.}
When Yami awoke the next morning, he looked at the little clock he kept in his dungeon-like soul room, then dashed to Yugi's room.
"Yugi, wake up!" He called. "You're going to be late for school! Come on! Look at the time!"
Yugi mumbled from his bed in the soulroom and from his bed in the real world. " Huh? Wha? What time.... Oh, no!"
Yugi dashed out of bed, realizing that school started in about ten minutes. He raced around the room gathering up all his things, tripping over several of the Mad Magazine game pieces that had been left out on the way.
He called a quick goodbye to Grandpa, who gave him a small wave from the doorway where he was sweeping again. Then Yugi grabbed a cereal bar and ran out the door.
Yugi let Yami come out so he could run faster, but the late bell still rang before he could get inside and to his first period class. Yugi took over again and stood in the line that had formed in front of the attendance window.
Looking ahead of him to see who else was late that morning, he spotted Tea. She looked like she hadn't slept well the night before and had been late to school as a result. She saw him in the line behind her and gave a small wave and a sheepish grin.
The doors of the school banged open, and suddenly Joey came running in, breathing hard. Looking around, he realized that the bell had already rung and came and stood next to Yugi in line.
"Hey Yuge..." Joey said softly.
"Hi Joey." Yugi whispered back.
"Why're you late?" Joey asked him.
"Slept in.... you?" Yugi replied.
"Um.... Slept in too.... Didn't sleep too well last night. Had a strange dream...." Joey said, sounding extreamly Fatigued.
Yugi came up to the lady at the window.
"Name?" She asked uninterestedly. Then she looked up, realized who it was she was talking to, and smiled sweetly. "Oh, Yugi Moto. Late today?"
"Uh... Yeah." He said. The lady wrote him a pass and he waited off to the side for Joey to get his.
//Hm.... Just a little famous are we?// Daricio teased him softly.
//Oh, be quiet.....// Yugi sighed.
//Fine.... Sorry, I didn't realize you weren't in the mood for teasing....// Daricio said, trying to keep a straight face. It wasn't working. She decided to shift subjects. //I wonder what's up with Joey and Tea? They look horrible today....//
//I dunno. I'm going to ask him....// Yugi said.
Joey walked up to him and shook his head as they started down the hall. "The lady knows YOU, but not ME..... You'd think that the second place winner would get just as much attention as the first place winner of the tournamant....." Joey said. But it was only half-heartedly. His mind was obviously on other things.
"Uh, yeah... Joey, what's up? You seem really...." Yugi started.
"Out of it? Yeah, a little I guess.... As I said, I didn't sleep well last night. I had the strangest dream, though...." Joey sounded distracted, like he was remembering the dream.
"What was it?" Yugi asked.
"I don't remember parts of it.... But.... Listen, I'll explain after school when I come over, Ok? I've gotta get to class, or I'll get into even more trouble than I probably am now. See ya." Joey rushed off into his class.
Yugi stared after him for a second before going into his own class.
//There is definetly something going on here. Joey is not acting like he normally does. That dream of his had to have been REALLY strange to get him to be acting like this.// Yami said, sounding worried.
//Hmm... Time to concentrate on science now, Yami....// Yugi said, trying to change the subject so that he wouldn't be so worried.
//You can. I'm going to rest for a while.// Yami said, retreating towards his soul room.
//Ah. Don't like science, do you?// Daricio said with a smile.
//Noooo..... Well.... Yes, but that's not the point.....// Yami went into his soul room.
"Ok class, now that you have all gotten yourselves situated into your seats, it's time to start class. Today we will be..." She started blabbering on and on about scientific stuff.
Yugi tried to pay attention, but for SOME reason, he was distracted by Daricio trying to sneak into the puzzle and play jokes on Yami.
//Stop it. Get back in here.......// He called after her, trying to sound stern.
//Sorry.// Daricio said with a grin, coming in and sitting on a bed that she had made appear in the room. Yugi could tell by the way she said it that she really wasn't.
//You two are going to end up driving each other, and me, nuts!// Yugi said, exsasperated.
//Sorry.// She said again.
Yami frowned at her from the doorway and went back into the puzzle, locking the door this time.
****************************************************************************
{Shells}
It was 8:00 in the morning. She would have been at school, but Mom had decided to let them visit Daricio again at the hospital.
Shells got out her backpack and dumped all of her school supplies out of it onto the floor. Then she packed all of Daricio's tins, (And her Bakura one,) into it. She was about to sling it onto her back and carry it out to the car, when Jrj walked in.
"Shells, why are you taking your backpack? We're not going to school today." He said, frowning at her pack.
"I know, Jrj. I wanted to take some stuff with me...... You know, so that when we run out of things to do, we don't have to resort to turning on the TV." Shells said smoothly.
"Oh. Right. Good idea." He turned from her and went into his and DVD's room to pack some things of his own. On his way in, he almost ran into DVD who was coming out.
DVD went around Jrj and went into Shell's room. He closed the door. "Got them all?"
"Yup. Every one....... But DVD, will the tins still work? Let's try out a tin really quick just to make sure we weren't just... I don't know... Dreaming or something." Shells suggested.
"Ok, fine. We can try one out in the car too. Very quietly. Hopefully." DVD said.
"No, not in the car. What if they scream? That would be real easy to explain to people. 'Oh, it's nothing, Mom. We just have... Mai or someone in the back of the car..." Shells reminded him.
"Oh... Right... So, who should we bring right now?" DVD asked.
"Probably the one who would be the least scared of us. Maybe...." Shells tried to think of the bravest Yu-Gi-Oh character.
"I think.... Well... I would have said Joey, but.... Now.... I think maybe... Tristan...." DVD thought aloud.
"Ok, that sounds good. I guess. Just a second." Shells began digging through the bag and pulled out the Tristan tin, and her list of questions. DVD spotted something in the bag.
" Shells, you don't have to bring the tins of the people we already asked. We don't need the Joey tin..." DVD told her.
"Yes we do. I have more questions for him." She said, waving her list on front of his face.
"Fine, fine.... Whatever...." DVD said, turning to the tin on the floor. "It's Tristen time."
Shells reached over and pressed the square on the tin. It glowed for a moment like all the others had done, then suddenly...
****************************************************************
{Yugi}
Yugi tried to concentrate on his work and on what the teacher was saying. Daricio had finally decided that she would listen in too so that she wouldn't bug Yami so much. And so that she could still learn stuff at school even though she wasn't at her own school.
//Uh, Yugi? What's it called when you're supposed to go to one school, and you go to another school? what're you then called again?// She wondered idly.
//Um... A transfer student?// Yugi said, glancing over at Bakura who was sitting in desk a couple of rows away from him. //Like Bakura.//
//Oh, right! That's what it is! Sorry. I'll pay attention to science now.// Daricio said shaking her head. //I get so off topic sometimes...//
//Just pay attention.// Yugi said, slightly annoyed. They were supposed to be balancing chemical equations, and it wasn't his favorite thing to do.
He glanced around the room at the different people working on their assignments. He stopped when he got to Tristen. //He seems to be figuring this out quite easily, even if he is being ignored by everyone.// Yugi commented to himself when he realized that Tristan was in a corner of the room, working hard. He felt bad that the science teacher hadn't let them pick their own seats and that she had put Tristan by himself in the corner.
//Hmm.... Do you want some help with your work?// Daricio asked. //I can help.... I think.//
//No thinks. I want to be able to figure this out... for... my....... What in the world?// Yugi stopped in the middle of his sentance.
//What? What happened?// Daricio asked, looking through his eyes at what he was seeing. It was an empty chair. //What? It's just a chair, Yugi.//
//Yeah, but.... It used to have Tristan sitting in it. He disappeared!//
***********************************************************************
{Shells}
Tristan appeared on the tin and immedietly fell over. He had apparently just been sitting in a chair. Tristan quickly got up and began looking around. Shells and DVD had positioned the tin so that he had appeared facing away from them.
"Wha? Ok, what's happening?" Tristan looked down at his clothing, then looked relieved at something. "Ok, I'm little, but I'm not dressed as Cyber Commando again.... So what's happening?"
Shells couldn't help but giggle at the mention of Tristan: The Cyber Commando. Tristan heard her giggle and froze. He turned around very slowly.
His eyes grew wide when he saw Shells and DVD.
"Uh.... Hi..." DVD said.
"Um.... Whoa... Hi?" Tristan stammered, his voice shaking slightly. "Who are you?"
"I am DVD Jonesy, and this is my sister, Shells Jonesy." DVD said.
"This is wierd...." Tristan commented.
"Oh, yeah..." Shells said. "Definetly."
"Tristan, we'd like to ask you some things..." DVD said.
"Oh, great. I'm in a very BIG place, with very BIG people who I don't know, and they already know who I am. Go figure." Tristan said, looking from one to the other in astonishment.
"Oh, well....um.." DVD looked at Shells. She decided to try the technique that she had done with Joey. Flattery.
"You do know you're famous, right?" She asked him.
"Um... So I'm famous in giant land... How?" Tristan asked.
"Well.... You just are...." Shells could see that this was getting them nowhere. "Um, as we said, we have something to ask you..."
"What?" Tristan said, still looking back and forth from DVD to Shells.
Shells unfolded her list and set it on the floor next to the tin. "First off.... Do you know anyone named Daricio?"
"Uh..... No.... What is this, some sort of game show?" Tristan asked, looking around the room again, possibly for a camera.
"No.... we're just wondering stuff. Another thing we'd like to know is..." Shells started.
THUMP
THUMP
THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Oh great." DVD said, looking at his watch. It's time to go and Jrj is coming to get us! Let's go! Send him home! Hurry!"
Shells reached forward and pressed Tristan's square after a very hurried, "See ya!"
He disappeared. Two seconds later, Jrj burst into the room. "Come on you two! Are you comeing or are you going to go to school with a late pass?"
"We're coming!" Shells put the tin and her list back into the bag and she and DVD got up quickly and left the room after Jrj.
They all went down the stairs and piled into the car.
***********************************************************************
{Yugi}
About a minute went by, and then Tristan appeared standing next to his desk. He looked confused for a moment, before shaking his head and sitting back down. Nobody else had even noticed except Yugi.
Yugi continued staring at Tristan, until he got a soft reminder from Daricio that it would appear very strange to be staring at someone when you're supposed to be doing work. He looked down at his paper, but now he REALLY couldn't concentrate on it.
//That was weird. Who could have... What could have... What happened?// He asked himself.
//Maybe.... // Suddenly, it clicked in Daricio's mind. // Shells! And DVD! They must have figured out how to use the tins!//
That did it. Yugi wasn't able to concentrate a single bit on his work. He looked up at the clock and saw that there was still about a half an hour of class left. He put away his work so that he would be able to concentrate on their conversation that he would be able to actually be in the soul room and talk normally.
"So what do we do now? How will Shells and DVD know how to find you? Or are they just going to be bringing us over there all day asking us questions about our life?" Yugi wondered.
"Somehow I doubt that they would do something like that." Daricio said, also talking normally now that Yugi was there in the room to talk to.
"Why not?" Yugi said.
"It's just not something they would do.... Of course, when I figured out how to work the tins, as you know, I was thrilled....." Daricio grinned. "It's fun talking to someone that you didn't know existed before...."
"Not that it's exactly fun for them..." Yugi muttered to himself.
Daricio's grin faded. "Right." She said, remembering what happened to Seto Kaiba. Yugi looked over at Tristan for a brief moment to see how he was handling it. Yugi couldn't tell. He was still working on his problems. He'd have to ask him later.
"I wonder if they have brought anyone else over?" Daricio thought. "Any why aren't they in school?"
"I guess we'll figure that out when they decide to try out that Yugi tin." Yugi replied.
The hour long science period crawled slowly by, with Yugi finding several alternate things that he could say to Shells when she brought him over, with the help of Daricio. It seemed to take forever, but it finally did end.
Yugi gathered up his books and tried to push through the crowd to get over to Tristan. In order to do so, however, he had to push his way against the general flow af traffic, and before he knew it, Tristan had passed by him and gone out the door, lost deep in thought.
Yugi didn't have any other classes with him, so he would have to wait until after school to ask him about details of what had happened.
Fortunetly, he did have his next class with Tea, so he could ask her why she and Joey were so tired today. He suspected that he already knew, but it was best to confirm it anyway.
He went to his locker to exchange his books in preperation for his next class. As always, he thought the number in his head as he turned the combo lock.
//55.... 92.....57.... There!// The locker opened up as it always did. Daricio, hearing the numbers immedietly recognised them and began laughing.
//So THAT'S where those numbers came from!!// She said between giggles.
//What are you talking about?// Yugi asked as he dumped his books into his locker. He sounded slightly annoyed.
//You see, I was trying to open MY locker the other day, and for some reason, the combo didn't work! After a while, I realized that it wasn't my combo, it was someone else's!// She paused to giggle some more, then continued. //And the numbers you have for YOUR combo is the combo I was trying to use to open MY locker! That link thing must have...// She couldn't continue, because she was laughing too hard.
//Oh.// Yugi said. //So? It's not that funny, Daricio.//
//Yes it is.// She said stubbornly.
Yugi sighed and started off towards his English class, trying to stay close to the edges and out of sight, just in case Shells chose that moment to bring him over. She didn't, and he stepped into his class and took his seat.
*******************************************************************
{Shells}
It had been almost an hour and a half since they had left the house for the hospital. It had been just their luck to get caught in a traffic jam.
"Mom, how long til we get there?" Shells asked, wanting to use the tins. As long as they were in the car, she knew that she wouldn't be able to do that.
"Oh.... If this traffic keeps up, honey, probably about another half an hour. If it clears up, it will be even faster. Shells sighed.
//A whole half an hour? Sheesh!// She sighed again and began staring out the car window, not really seeing the roads and things out there. To pass off the time, she began trying to remember what all the people she had brought over had been wearing.
//Let's see. Joey was wearing.... I think that was some kind of night clothes... That would make sense, seeing as it was about.... 10:00 or so.... Tea was wearing a night gown..... And Tristan was wearing his school....uniform.... Oh, great! School! They have got to be in school right now!// She turned to DVD who was also staring off into outer space in the general direction of the window. She tapped him on the shoulder and he turned to her.
"What?" He asked.
"I just realized something about...... about the show." she said, so as not to raise their parent's suspisions.
DVD raised an eyebrow. "Show? You mean... Oh, ok. I get it. What about it?" he asked again, taking a few seconds to figure out what she meant.
"Well, the Yu-Gi-Oh charecters have to go to school, right?" She said with a meaningful look. He didn't get it.
"Yeah.... And?" He asked.
"So what time do you suppose their school starts? What do you think they'd be doing at about, oh say, 9:00 or 10:00 in the morning?" She asked.
This time, DVD got it. "Ooooh... School. Duh!" He slapped his forehead. "Obviously. So..... Would ...uh...They have to wait until after school to...uh....do stuff?" DVD asked, really asking her if they would have to wait until after their school got out before they transported them over.
Shells shook her head. "No, I wouldn't think so. I mean, they can still do stuff between classes, right?"
"Well, yeah, but how would we know whether they are between classes or not?" He asked, slipping up the code a little. Jrj turned around in his seat to look at them and gave them a strange looking grin.
"We?" He asked.
"You know what I meant, Jrj." DVD said, turning red from anger at himself for giving it away.
"No, actually, I don't. Elaborate." Jrj said, still grinning. "Are you pretending to be in the show again?"
"No!" DVD said, embarrased all of a sudden at the mention of the stupid game he and Shells had made up a few weeks before. Shells elbowed him and he, grudgingly changed his answer. "Yes..." he muttered.
Jrj gave himself a triumphant grin that said, "wait till all your friends find out," then turned back around in his seat and turned back to his gameboy, which was beeping at him softly.
"Ok, so now I must abandon all of my dignity as well as all of my sanity because of this?" DVD whispered softly and slightly angrily to Shells.
"Sorry. But, this really is important! One of those guys HAS to know something about what happened to Daricio! Especially Bakura!" She whispered back a little too loudly. Jrj rolled his eyes.
DVD and Shells looked at each other. "Too bad we can't just communicate mentally, like Yugi and Yami..." DVD whispered. Shells nodded. "Let's just continue this...game...later, ok?"
DVD nodded.He understood what she was saying. "Ok." he said. They wouldn't talk about it any more until they got to the hospital in... a whole half an hour.
Shells went back to thinking about Yu-Gi-Oh while staring idly out the window. She thought about the charecters themselves. She thought about the storyline. She thought about the soulrooms.... soulrooms...
//Soulrooms. Hmm... I wonder.... Yugi and Yami could actually talk mentally because they used their soul rooms! They could do it like that, because they have a link with each other! Me, Daricio, and DVD have a link with each other.... Maybe....// She concentrated as hard as she could. //Hey, DVD?//
DVD jumped slightly and looked over at Shells. He gave her a funny look. "Did you have to yell?" He whispered, glancing at Jrj.
Shells looked at him in astonishment. Then she grinned. //I didn't yell.// She thought to him. His eyes grew wide. //I used thought-speak!//
DVD leaned back in his seat, still staring at Shells. "You figured out how to make it work?" He whispered excitedly.
Jrj looked back at them and frowned. DVD turned red again. Jrj grinned and turned back.
DVD leaned close to Shells. "How?"
//We have a mental link, right? So just think a sentence in your mind and pretend that you are saying it to me, and I'll be able to hear it.... I think....// Shells directed him.
He tried. Several moments passed before Shells heard something. //Is this working?// He asked.
//Yes! yes! This is so cool!// Shells said, turning back to the window to stare off into outer space for a while so that Jrj wouldn't think anything was up. Shells heard DVD moving and guessed that he had done the same.
There was silence between the two for a few minutes, as nobody could figure out what to say. they sat and listened to the beeps and music of Jrj's game. Then DVD broke the silence.
//Did you ask Jrj what game he had brought along?// he asked.
//No. Why?// Shells said, slightly confused.
//No reason. Just wondering. The music is very strange.// DVD answered.
//Yeah....// The two fell into silence once again.
A few minutes later, it was Jrj that broke the silence with a loud, "Yes! Swords of Revealing Light! Now I can play it down, then use this Change of Heart... then.... Alright! I finally beat Joey!!!!" He pumped his fist in the air.
//Oh. It's my Eternal Duelist's Soul game. Figures. He likes the idea of actually being able to face off against the characters.// DVD said, grinning.
//If he only knew....// Shells said. They tried to keep from laughing out loud, but they couldn't help but giggle.
Jrj turned around in his seat. "What? You think you can do better? I'd like to see you beat Yugi!"
//Talk about playing "pretend we're actually in the show"... // DVD said, still trying to wipe the grin off his face and replace it with an innocent looking smile.
It apparently wasn't working, because Jrj gave him a big "Hrmph!" and turned back in his seat, determined to ignore them.
Shells and DVD mentally talked until they arrived at the hospital, almost an hour later.
*********************************************************************
{Yugi}
Nothing much really happened in Yugi's English class beyond working non- stop on the book report, so Yugi was extremely glad when it was over. As were Daricio and Yami, who had woken up from his nap halfway through class.
They, of course, had immedietly began debating the rules to the Duel Monsters game, as it differed slightly from her world to his world.
"Well, back home, Kuribo is one of the hardest to get creatures in the game! It's a super rare! And I don't think you can actually use multiply on it to get a good defense!... I think."
"Well, that's pretty dumb."
"That's what I thought. Also.." It went on... and on... and on.... Until Yugi informed them that they were driving him nuts and told them they had to finish their conversation in YAMI'S soul room. So they did, and Yugi was left to battle the evils of the Proper writing formats by himself.
After class, Yugi caught up with Tea.
"Tea? Are you Ok?" He asked.
"Hmm?" Tea asked. She hadn't even noticed that he had walked up beside her until he spoke. "Oh, hi Yugi." She said tiredly.
He repeated his question. "Are you OK?"
"Oh, yeah... I guess... Sorta." She replied.
"What's up?"
"I just couldn't get to sleep last night, that's all. Nothing big. You don't have to worry about me, really." Tea said, trying to duck away into the crowd towards her next class.
Yugi shook his head slightly. //Ok, now she's acting like me. That means something is definetly wrong.//
Yugi jogged forward and got in front of her. "Did it have something to do with a dream?" He asked. "Because that's what Joey said too. What's going on?"
Tea looked down at the floor. "Ok, ok, your right. It was a dream. Um..." She looked at her watch. "But it's time to go to class! I'll tell you after school, ok? See ya!" She raced off into the crowd. Yugi stared after her.
"Must have been some dream." Yugi thought to himself. "To get her to do that..."
//My sister generally had that effect on people.// Daricio said from the doorway of the soulroom. //Are we allowed to come back in now? As interesting as the puzzle may be, it's cold in there! Plus it feels weird watching the puzzle shift around every couple of minutes.//
//Ok, fine...// Yugi said, starting off towards his next class. Daricio and Yami stepped back into the soulroom.
Yami was shaking his head. //I can't believe I didn't notice this before! I have apparently been spending too much time in here instead of observing the puzzle.//
// It's Ok, Yami. At least Daricio knew about it and warned us, so we won't be suprised if Bakura shows up sometime.//
//And if he does show up, he's outnumbered one to three and he doesn't even know it! Remember, we haven't told him what's been going on yet...// Daricio said.
************************************************************************
{End of Chappie Interlude. (Has nothing to do with story...sorta) : Seto Kaiba.}
Seto was back in his giant computer room, working on data tables showing how much profit the company had made that year. He gritted his teeth as he stared at the screen.
He had only been gone for two days, (It had taken him that long to get past all of the security at that annoying place) and that stupid idiot, Weevil Underwood, had still managed to unravel almost five months of his hard work.
He had been able to work about half of it back together, but it was a very excrutiating experience. It was wasting his valuable time, and wearing away at his now very thin patience.
Why the company had voted to have that nimrod put into place as the company head in his absence was beyond him. He should have them all fired. But then where would he be? Owning a company of one. No, two. Mokuba would still help him.
Seto would have been able to get past the guards very easily, except that he had Mokuba with him. For some reason, Mokuba's cell, which was seperate from Seto's, was extreamly heavily guarded. It had taken him over half that one night to get him out of there.
Seto shook his head, trying to get his weary mind to return to his work. But no matter what he tried, thoughts of padded rooms, Mokuba, and a very large girl kept straying into his mind, and after a while, he fell fast asleep at his computer console.

Anyways, any ideas will be appreciated. I have a good idea for a main plotline here, but I need some minute details or else my fic is going to become slightly boring... So, see ya!
(Also, for those of you who have not read my little brother's fic, "Poke Duel Monsters," please read it! It is very funny.... It's an insanity fic.... Also you can get details on a little contest we are doing in the last chappie entitled, "Very long Chappie of Randomness" or something like that...)
Ok, that said, you may now return to your originally programmed fanfictions. Thank you!
How are all of my loverly readers?
Ok, first off, I noticed several mistakes and strange things in my last chappie as I read them over, but have decided that they really aren't that important to go back and fix, so if you notice or noticed them, just ignore them.... They are the result of the mind of the person that nobody would stop giving candy to. ^_^
*Sings* I am the Candy queen! Young and sweet! Only Fourteeeeen!!!!!!!!! ^_^
So, that said, enjoy the chappie!

{Shells}
Shells and DVD ran up the stairs back to Daricio's room and began gathering up as many of her tins as they could find. Then they hurried back down the stairs and pilied them up on the table.
Shells grabbed the one off the top and placed it in front of her.. It was Daricio's Tea tin.
Shells and DVD prepared themselves for a monent, not sure of exactly what would happen.
//What am I going to say?// Shells wondered to herself. She looked over at DVD who gave her a small nod. He was ready. Shells took a deep breath and pressed the square on the tin.
It glowed slightly for a moment, then Tea appeared, fast asleep on the tin.
Shells wondered for a moment why everyone she and DVD brought over were asleep, then she recalled that it was almost 10:00 at night. It only made sense that everyone was asleep. She should probably be asleep too. They should probably just ask Tea, then not do anymore until morning. She told DVD so. He agreed.
Then DVD reached forward and nudged Tea with one finger. She mumbled softly in her sleep and curled up in a little ball.
DVD nudged her again and she rolled over slightly, still mumbling softly. After a few moments, she opened her eyes wearily and sat up halfway.
"Huh? Wha?" she wondered sleepily, rubbing her eyes with one hand. "Where am I?"
She began looking around. She spotted and began staring at, what was to her, a huge bowl of cheerios near her.
"What's going on here?" She asked herself.
"Tea..." Shells said as softly as she could so that she wouldn't be startled. "Don't be scared or anything, but..."
Tea looked around quickly, searching for the owner of the voice. When she saw Shells and DVD, she gasped and stood up quickly.
"Oh...My....." Tea was shaking all over, not taking her eyes off of them. She slowly took a few steps away from them.
"Uh... Hi." DVD said.
Tea swayed slightly. "I...Uh.....Wha?" She started. Then she fainted.
Shells and DVD looked at each other, shocked. They had never seen anyone faint before, so they had absoulutly no idea what to do.
"Tea?" DVD asked, his voice shaking slightly. "Are you Ok?"
Tea groaned softly but didn't move. DVD hesitated for a moment, then turned to Shells.
"Uh..... I think she should go home now.... We'll ask her tomorrow...." He said as he reached over and tapped the square, making Tea disappear.
Shells gathered up the remaining tins and, with DVD trailing after her, put them away upstairs. Then she said goodnight to DVD and got into bed.
She tried as hard as she could, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not get to sleep. She stayed awake for hours, doing nothing but staring off into outer space in the general direction of the ceiling, and thinking about what she was going to say to the people from her favoite show. And their possible reactions.
//Well, we already know that Joey was scared of us, and he doesn't know anything about Daricio. Tea.... Was most definetly scared of us.... I think Tristan would most likely be scared of us too.... Yugi might... But not as much as everyone else... He has Yami to help him.... Of course, Yami might be scared of us too, so.... And Seto Kaiba.....// Shells shook her head, still thinking.
//Seto Kaiba would probably stay cool while he was here...maybe yell at us...// She grinned. //Then he'd probably get on the internet to figure out what in the world was going on. He'd get so into trying to figure it all out, he'd get himself sent to the nuthouse!!!// Shells giggled slightly.
//Let's see.... I've mentioned Joey, Tea, Tristan, Yugi, Yami, Kaiba..... who else? ..... Oh, yeah... Mokuba! and Yugi's Grandpa.... And Bakura!// Shells suddenly remembered seeing Bakura at the hospital. //I.... I can ask him now!// She realized.
She got up and went over to the desk. She took out a sheet of notebook paper and began to write down questions for everyone, especially Bakura.
She stayed up for the next three hours, before finally realizing how tired she was and going to bed.
//This is..... Very cool.// She thought idly as she drifted off to sleep, mentally reveiwing her list of questions.
**********************************************************************
{The next morning. Yami, then Yugi.}
When Yami awoke the next morning, he looked at the little clock he kept in his dungeon-like soul room, then dashed to Yugi's room.
"Yugi, wake up!" He called. "You're going to be late for school! Come on! Look at the time!"
Yugi mumbled from his bed in the soulroom and from his bed in the real world. " Huh? Wha? What time.... Oh, no!"
Yugi dashed out of bed, realizing that school started in about ten minutes. He raced around the room gathering up all his things, tripping over several of the Mad Magazine game pieces that had been left out on the way.
He called a quick goodbye to Grandpa, who gave him a small wave from the doorway where he was sweeping again. Then Yugi grabbed a cereal bar and ran out the door.
Yugi let Yami come out so he could run faster, but the late bell still rang before he could get inside and to his first period class. Yugi took over again and stood in the line that had formed in front of the attendance window.
Looking ahead of him to see who else was late that morning, he spotted Tea. She looked like she hadn't slept well the night before and had been late to school as a result. She saw him in the line behind her and gave a small wave and a sheepish grin.
The doors of the school banged open, and suddenly Joey came running in, breathing hard. Looking around, he realized that the bell had already rung and came and stood next to Yugi in line.
"Hey Yuge..." Joey said softly.
"Hi Joey." Yugi whispered back.
"Why're you late?" Joey asked him.
"Slept in.... you?" Yugi replied.
"Um.... Slept in too.... Didn't sleep too well last night. Had a strange dream...." Joey said, sounding extreamly Fatigued.
Yugi came up to the lady at the window.
"Name?" She asked uninterestedly. Then she looked up, realized who it was she was talking to, and smiled sweetly. "Oh, Yugi Moto. Late today?"
"Uh... Yeah." He said. The lady wrote him a pass and he waited off to the side for Joey to get his.
//Hm.... Just a little famous are we?// Daricio teased him softly.
//Oh, be quiet.....// Yugi sighed.
//Fine.... Sorry, I didn't realize you weren't in the mood for teasing....// Daricio said, trying to keep a straight face. It wasn't working. She decided to shift subjects. //I wonder what's up with Joey and Tea? They look horrible today....//
//I dunno. I'm going to ask him....// Yugi said.
Joey walked up to him and shook his head as they started down the hall. "The lady knows YOU, but not ME..... You'd think that the second place winner would get just as much attention as the first place winner of the tournamant....." Joey said. But it was only half-heartedly. His mind was obviously on other things.
"Uh, yeah... Joey, what's up? You seem really...." Yugi started.
"Out of it? Yeah, a little I guess.... As I said, I didn't sleep well last night. I had the strangest dream, though...." Joey sounded distracted, like he was remembering the dream.
"What was it?" Yugi asked.
"I don't remember parts of it.... But.... Listen, I'll explain after school when I come over, Ok? I've gotta get to class, or I'll get into even more trouble than I probably am now. See ya." Joey rushed off into his class.
Yugi stared after him for a second before going into his own class.
//There is definetly something going on here. Joey is not acting like he normally does. That dream of his had to have been REALLY strange to get him to be acting like this.// Yami said, sounding worried.
//Hmm... Time to concentrate on science now, Yami....// Yugi said, trying to change the subject so that he wouldn't be so worried.
//You can. I'm going to rest for a while.// Yami said, retreating towards his soul room.
//Ah. Don't like science, do you?// Daricio said with a smile.
//Noooo..... Well.... Yes, but that's not the point.....// Yami went into his soul room.
"Ok class, now that you have all gotten yourselves situated into your seats, it's time to start class. Today we will be..." She started blabbering on and on about scientific stuff.
Yugi tried to pay attention, but for SOME reason, he was distracted by Daricio trying to sneak into the puzzle and play jokes on Yami.
//Stop it. Get back in here.......// He called after her, trying to sound stern.
//Sorry.// Daricio said with a grin, coming in and sitting on a bed that she had made appear in the room. Yugi could tell by the way she said it that she really wasn't.
//You two are going to end up driving each other, and me, nuts!// Yugi said, exsasperated.
//Sorry.// She said again.
Yami frowned at her from the doorway and went back into the puzzle, locking the door this time.
****************************************************************************
{Shells}
It was 8:00 in the morning. She would have been at school, but Mom had decided to let them visit Daricio again at the hospital.
Shells got out her backpack and dumped all of her school supplies out of it onto the floor. Then she packed all of Daricio's tins, (And her Bakura one,) into it. She was about to sling it onto her back and carry it out to the car, when Jrj walked in.
"Shells, why are you taking your backpack? We're not going to school today." He said, frowning at her pack.
"I know, Jrj. I wanted to take some stuff with me...... You know, so that when we run out of things to do, we don't have to resort to turning on the TV." Shells said smoothly.
"Oh. Right. Good idea." He turned from her and went into his and DVD's room to pack some things of his own. On his way in, he almost ran into DVD who was coming out.
DVD went around Jrj and went into Shell's room. He closed the door. "Got them all?"
"Yup. Every one....... But DVD, will the tins still work? Let's try out a tin really quick just to make sure we weren't just... I don't know... Dreaming or something." Shells suggested.
"Ok, fine. We can try one out in the car too. Very quietly. Hopefully." DVD said.
"No, not in the car. What if they scream? That would be real easy to explain to people. 'Oh, it's nothing, Mom. We just have... Mai or someone in the back of the car..." Shells reminded him.
"Oh... Right... So, who should we bring right now?" DVD asked.
"Probably the one who would be the least scared of us. Maybe...." Shells tried to think of the bravest Yu-Gi-Oh character.
"I think.... Well... I would have said Joey, but.... Now.... I think maybe... Tristan...." DVD thought aloud.
"Ok, that sounds good. I guess. Just a second." Shells began digging through the bag and pulled out the Tristan tin, and her list of questions. DVD spotted something in the bag.
" Shells, you don't have to bring the tins of the people we already asked. We don't need the Joey tin..." DVD told her.
"Yes we do. I have more questions for him." She said, waving her list on front of his face.
"Fine, fine.... Whatever...." DVD said, turning to the tin on the floor. "It's Tristen time."
Shells reached over and pressed the square on the tin. It glowed for a moment like all the others had done, then suddenly...
****************************************************************
{Yugi}
Yugi tried to concentrate on his work and on what the teacher was saying. Daricio had finally decided that she would listen in too so that she wouldn't bug Yami so much. And so that she could still learn stuff at school even though she wasn't at her own school.
//Uh, Yugi? What's it called when you're supposed to go to one school, and you go to another school? what're you then called again?// She wondered idly.
//Um... A transfer student?// Yugi said, glancing over at Bakura who was sitting in desk a couple of rows away from him. //Like Bakura.//
//Oh, right! That's what it is! Sorry. I'll pay attention to science now.// Daricio said shaking her head. //I get so off topic sometimes...//
//Just pay attention.// Yugi said, slightly annoyed. They were supposed to be balancing chemical equations, and it wasn't his favorite thing to do.
He glanced around the room at the different people working on their assignments. He stopped when he got to Tristen. //He seems to be figuring this out quite easily, even if he is being ignored by everyone.// Yugi commented to himself when he realized that Tristan was in a corner of the room, working hard. He felt bad that the science teacher hadn't let them pick their own seats and that she had put Tristan by himself in the corner.
//Hmm.... Do you want some help with your work?// Daricio asked. //I can help.... I think.//
//No thinks. I want to be able to figure this out... for... my....... What in the world?// Yugi stopped in the middle of his sentance.
//What? What happened?// Daricio asked, looking through his eyes at what he was seeing. It was an empty chair. //What? It's just a chair, Yugi.//
//Yeah, but.... It used to have Tristan sitting in it. He disappeared!//
***********************************************************************
{Shells}
Tristan appeared on the tin and immedietly fell over. He had apparently just been sitting in a chair. Tristan quickly got up and began looking around. Shells and DVD had positioned the tin so that he had appeared facing away from them.
"Wha? Ok, what's happening?" Tristan looked down at his clothing, then looked relieved at something. "Ok, I'm little, but I'm not dressed as Cyber Commando again.... So what's happening?"
Shells couldn't help but giggle at the mention of Tristan: The Cyber Commando. Tristan heard her giggle and froze. He turned around very slowly.
His eyes grew wide when he saw Shells and DVD.
"Uh.... Hi..." DVD said.
"Um.... Whoa... Hi?" Tristan stammered, his voice shaking slightly. "Who are you?"
"I am DVD Jonesy, and this is my sister, Shells Jonesy." DVD said.
"This is wierd...." Tristan commented.
"Oh, yeah..." Shells said. "Definetly."
"Tristan, we'd like to ask you some things..." DVD said.
"Oh, great. I'm in a very BIG place, with very BIG people who I don't know, and they already know who I am. Go figure." Tristan said, looking from one to the other in astonishment.
"Oh, well....um.." DVD looked at Shells. She decided to try the technique that she had done with Joey. Flattery.
"You do know you're famous, right?" She asked him.
"Um... So I'm famous in giant land... How?" Tristan asked.
"Well.... You just are...." Shells could see that this was getting them nowhere. "Um, as we said, we have something to ask you..."
"What?" Tristan said, still looking back and forth from DVD to Shells.
Shells unfolded her list and set it on the floor next to the tin. "First off.... Do you know anyone named Daricio?"
"Uh..... No.... What is this, some sort of game show?" Tristan asked, looking around the room again, possibly for a camera.
"No.... we're just wondering stuff. Another thing we'd like to know is..." Shells started.
THUMP
THUMP
THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Oh great." DVD said, looking at his watch. It's time to go and Jrj is coming to get us! Let's go! Send him home! Hurry!"
Shells reached forward and pressed Tristan's square after a very hurried, "See ya!"
He disappeared. Two seconds later, Jrj burst into the room. "Come on you two! Are you comeing or are you going to go to school with a late pass?"
"We're coming!" Shells put the tin and her list back into the bag and she and DVD got up quickly and left the room after Jrj.
They all went down the stairs and piled into the car.
***********************************************************************
{Yugi}
About a minute went by, and then Tristan appeared standing next to his desk. He looked confused for a moment, before shaking his head and sitting back down. Nobody else had even noticed except Yugi.
Yugi continued staring at Tristan, until he got a soft reminder from Daricio that it would appear very strange to be staring at someone when you're supposed to be doing work. He looked down at his paper, but now he REALLY couldn't concentrate on it.
//That was weird. Who could have... What could have... What happened?// He asked himself.
//Maybe.... // Suddenly, it clicked in Daricio's mind. // Shells! And DVD! They must have figured out how to use the tins!//
That did it. Yugi wasn't able to concentrate a single bit on his work. He looked up at the clock and saw that there was still about a half an hour of class left. He put away his work so that he would be able to concentrate on their conversation that he would be able to actually be in the soul room and talk normally.
"So what do we do now? How will Shells and DVD know how to find you? Or are they just going to be bringing us over there all day asking us questions about our life?" Yugi wondered.
"Somehow I doubt that they would do something like that." Daricio said, also talking normally now that Yugi was there in the room to talk to.
"Why not?" Yugi said.
"It's just not something they would do.... Of course, when I figured out how to work the tins, as you know, I was thrilled....." Daricio grinned. "It's fun talking to someone that you didn't know existed before...."
"Not that it's exactly fun for them..." Yugi muttered to himself.
Daricio's grin faded. "Right." She said, remembering what happened to Seto Kaiba. Yugi looked over at Tristan for a brief moment to see how he was handling it. Yugi couldn't tell. He was still working on his problems. He'd have to ask him later.
"I wonder if they have brought anyone else over?" Daricio thought. "Any why aren't they in school?"
"I guess we'll figure that out when they decide to try out that Yugi tin." Yugi replied.
The hour long science period crawled slowly by, with Yugi finding several alternate things that he could say to Shells when she brought him over, with the help of Daricio. It seemed to take forever, but it finally did end.
Yugi gathered up his books and tried to push through the crowd to get over to Tristan. In order to do so, however, he had to push his way against the general flow af traffic, and before he knew it, Tristan had passed by him and gone out the door, lost deep in thought.
Yugi didn't have any other classes with him, so he would have to wait until after school to ask him about details of what had happened.
Fortunetly, he did have his next class with Tea, so he could ask her why she and Joey were so tired today. He suspected that he already knew, but it was best to confirm it anyway.
He went to his locker to exchange his books in preperation for his next class. As always, he thought the number in his head as he turned the combo lock.
//55.... 92.....57.... There!// The locker opened up as it always did. Daricio, hearing the numbers immedietly recognised them and began laughing.
//So THAT'S where those numbers came from!!// She said between giggles.
//What are you talking about?// Yugi asked as he dumped his books into his locker. He sounded slightly annoyed.
//You see, I was trying to open MY locker the other day, and for some reason, the combo didn't work! After a while, I realized that it wasn't my combo, it was someone else's!// She paused to giggle some more, then continued. //And the numbers you have for YOUR combo is the combo I was trying to use to open MY locker! That link thing must have...// She couldn't continue, because she was laughing too hard.
//Oh.// Yugi said. //So? It's not that funny, Daricio.//
//Yes it is.// She said stubbornly.
Yugi sighed and started off towards his English class, trying to stay close to the edges and out of sight, just in case Shells chose that moment to bring him over. She didn't, and he stepped into his class and took his seat.
*******************************************************************
{Shells}
It had been almost an hour and a half since they had left the house for the hospital. It had been just their luck to get caught in a traffic jam.
"Mom, how long til we get there?" Shells asked, wanting to use the tins. As long as they were in the car, she knew that she wouldn't be able to do that.
"Oh.... If this traffic keeps up, honey, probably about another half an hour. If it clears up, it will be even faster. Shells sighed.
//A whole half an hour? Sheesh!// She sighed again and began staring out the car window, not really seeing the roads and things out there. To pass off the time, she began trying to remember what all the people she had brought over had been wearing.
//Let's see. Joey was wearing.... I think that was some kind of night clothes... That would make sense, seeing as it was about.... 10:00 or so.... Tea was wearing a night gown..... And Tristan was wearing his school....uniform.... Oh, great! School! They have got to be in school right now!// She turned to DVD who was also staring off into outer space in the general direction of the window. She tapped him on the shoulder and he turned to her.
"What?" He asked.
"I just realized something about...... about the show." she said, so as not to raise their parent's suspisions.
DVD raised an eyebrow. "Show? You mean... Oh, ok. I get it. What about it?" he asked again, taking a few seconds to figure out what she meant.
"Well, the Yu-Gi-Oh charecters have to go to school, right?" She said with a meaningful look. He didn't get it.
"Yeah.... And?" He asked.
"So what time do you suppose their school starts? What do you think they'd be doing at about, oh say, 9:00 or 10:00 in the morning?" She asked.
This time, DVD got it. "Ooooh... School. Duh!" He slapped his forehead. "Obviously. So..... Would ...uh...They have to wait until after school to...uh....do stuff?" DVD asked, really asking her if they would have to wait until after their school got out before they transported them over.
Shells shook her head. "No, I wouldn't think so. I mean, they can still do stuff between classes, right?"
"Well, yeah, but how would we know whether they are between classes or not?" He asked, slipping up the code a little. Jrj turned around in his seat to look at them and gave them a strange looking grin.
"We?" He asked.
"You know what I meant, Jrj." DVD said, turning red from anger at himself for giving it away.
"No, actually, I don't. Elaborate." Jrj said, still grinning. "Are you pretending to be in the show again?"
"No!" DVD said, embarrased all of a sudden at the mention of the stupid game he and Shells had made up a few weeks before. Shells elbowed him and he, grudgingly changed his answer. "Yes..." he muttered.
Jrj gave himself a triumphant grin that said, "wait till all your friends find out," then turned back around in his seat and turned back to his gameboy, which was beeping at him softly.
"Ok, so now I must abandon all of my dignity as well as all of my sanity because of this?" DVD whispered softly and slightly angrily to Shells.
"Sorry. But, this really is important! One of those guys HAS to know something about what happened to Daricio! Especially Bakura!" She whispered back a little too loudly. Jrj rolled his eyes.
DVD and Shells looked at each other. "Too bad we can't just communicate mentally, like Yugi and Yami..." DVD whispered. Shells nodded. "Let's just continue this...game...later, ok?"
DVD nodded.He understood what she was saying. "Ok." he said. They wouldn't talk about it any more until they got to the hospital in... a whole half an hour.
Shells went back to thinking about Yu-Gi-Oh while staring idly out the window. She thought about the charecters themselves. She thought about the storyline. She thought about the soulrooms.... soulrooms...
//Soulrooms. Hmm... I wonder.... Yugi and Yami could actually talk mentally because they used their soul rooms! They could do it like that, because they have a link with each other! Me, Daricio, and DVD have a link with each other.... Maybe....// She concentrated as hard as she could. //Hey, DVD?//
DVD jumped slightly and looked over at Shells. He gave her a funny look. "Did you have to yell?" He whispered, glancing at Jrj.
Shells looked at him in astonishment. Then she grinned. //I didn't yell.// She thought to him. His eyes grew wide. //I used thought-speak!//
DVD leaned back in his seat, still staring at Shells. "You figured out how to make it work?" He whispered excitedly.
Jrj looked back at them and frowned. DVD turned red again. Jrj grinned and turned back.
DVD leaned close to Shells. "How?"
//We have a mental link, right? So just think a sentence in your mind and pretend that you are saying it to me, and I'll be able to hear it.... I think....// Shells directed him.
He tried. Several moments passed before Shells heard something. //Is this working?// He asked.
//Yes! yes! This is so cool!// Shells said, turning back to the window to stare off into outer space for a while so that Jrj wouldn't think anything was up. Shells heard DVD moving and guessed that he had done the same.
There was silence between the two for a few minutes, as nobody could figure out what to say. they sat and listened to the beeps and music of Jrj's game. Then DVD broke the silence.
//Did you ask Jrj what game he had brought along?// he asked.
//No. Why?// Shells said, slightly confused.
//No reason. Just wondering. The music is very strange.// DVD answered.
//Yeah....// The two fell into silence once again.
A few minutes later, it was Jrj that broke the silence with a loud, "Yes! Swords of Revealing Light! Now I can play it down, then use this Change of Heart... then.... Alright! I finally beat Joey!!!!" He pumped his fist in the air.
//Oh. It's my Eternal Duelist's Soul game. Figures. He likes the idea of actually being able to face off against the characters.// DVD said, grinning.
//If he only knew....// Shells said. They tried to keep from laughing out loud, but they couldn't help but giggle.
Jrj turned around in his seat. "What? You think you can do better? I'd like to see you beat Yugi!"
//Talk about playing "pretend we're actually in the show"... // DVD said, still trying to wipe the grin off his face and replace it with an innocent looking smile.
It apparently wasn't working, because Jrj gave him a big "Hrmph!" and turned back in his seat, determined to ignore them.
Shells and DVD mentally talked until they arrived at the hospital, almost an hour later.
*********************************************************************
{Yugi}
Nothing much really happened in Yugi's English class beyond working non- stop on the book report, so Yugi was extremely glad when it was over. As were Daricio and Yami, who had woken up from his nap halfway through class.
They, of course, had immedietly began debating the rules to the Duel Monsters game, as it differed slightly from her world to his world.
"Well, back home, Kuribo is one of the hardest to get creatures in the game! It's a super rare! And I don't think you can actually use multiply on it to get a good defense!... I think."
"Well, that's pretty dumb."
"That's what I thought. Also.." It went on... and on... and on.... Until Yugi informed them that they were driving him nuts and told them they had to finish their conversation in YAMI'S soul room. So they did, and Yugi was left to battle the evils of the Proper writing formats by himself.
After class, Yugi caught up with Tea.
"Tea? Are you Ok?" He asked.
"Hmm?" Tea asked. She hadn't even noticed that he had walked up beside her until he spoke. "Oh, hi Yugi." She said tiredly.
He repeated his question. "Are you OK?"
"Oh, yeah... I guess... Sorta." She replied.
"What's up?"
"I just couldn't get to sleep last night, that's all. Nothing big. You don't have to worry about me, really." Tea said, trying to duck away into the crowd towards her next class.
Yugi shook his head slightly. //Ok, now she's acting like me. That means something is definetly wrong.//
Yugi jogged forward and got in front of her. "Did it have something to do with a dream?" He asked. "Because that's what Joey said too. What's going on?"
Tea looked down at the floor. "Ok, ok, your right. It was a dream. Um..." She looked at her watch. "But it's time to go to class! I'll tell you after school, ok? See ya!" She raced off into the crowd. Yugi stared after her.
"Must have been some dream." Yugi thought to himself. "To get her to do that..."
//My sister generally had that effect on people.// Daricio said from the doorway of the soulroom. //Are we allowed to come back in now? As interesting as the puzzle may be, it's cold in there! Plus it feels weird watching the puzzle shift around every couple of minutes.//
//Ok, fine...// Yugi said, starting off towards his next class. Daricio and Yami stepped back into the soulroom.
Yami was shaking his head. //I can't believe I didn't notice this before! I have apparently been spending too much time in here instead of observing the puzzle.//
// It's Ok, Yami. At least Daricio knew about it and warned us, so we won't be suprised if Bakura shows up sometime.//
//And if he does show up, he's outnumbered one to three and he doesn't even know it! Remember, we haven't told him what's been going on yet...// Daricio said.
************************************************************************
{End of Chappie Interlude. (Has nothing to do with story...sorta) : Seto Kaiba.}
Seto was back in his giant computer room, working on data tables showing how much profit the company had made that year. He gritted his teeth as he stared at the screen.
He had only been gone for two days, (It had taken him that long to get past all of the security at that annoying place) and that stupid idiot, Weevil Underwood, had still managed to unravel almost five months of his hard work.
He had been able to work about half of it back together, but it was a very excrutiating experience. It was wasting his valuable time, and wearing away at his now very thin patience.
Why the company had voted to have that nimrod put into place as the company head in his absence was beyond him. He should have them all fired. But then where would he be? Owning a company of one. No, two. Mokuba would still help him.
Seto would have been able to get past the guards very easily, except that he had Mokuba with him. For some reason, Mokuba's cell, which was seperate from Seto's, was extreamly heavily guarded. It had taken him over half that one night to get him out of there.
Seto shook his head, trying to get his weary mind to return to his work. But no matter what he tried, thoughts of padded rooms, Mokuba, and a very large girl kept straying into his mind, and after a while, he fell fast asleep at his computer console.

Ok, definetly a long chappie there... Definetly.... I think this thing had over 5,000 words in it... O.o *Falls over* I am definetly obsessed with this stuff..... Must....Have..... Break.....
I know! I'll go in and do some updates on my other fic!........ *Runs off to other fic*....*Comes back* Oops, almost forgot to end this chappie.
Ok, peoples, the next chappie may not come out for a while, as I am becoming totally braindead and need to be sent off to fill Seto's place in the nuthouse... O.o Did I just say that?
Anyways, any ideas will be appreciated. I have a good idea for a main plotline here, but I need some minute details or else my fic is going to become slightly boring... So, see ya!
(Also, for those of you who have not read my little brother's fic, "Poke Duel Monsters," please read it! It is very funny.... It's an insanity fic.... Also you can get details on a little contest we are doing in the last chappie entitled, "Very long Chappie of Randomness" or something like that...)
Ok, that said, you may now return to your originally programmed fanfictions. Thank you!
