Alright, here's my newest chappie of "Where's Yugi?"...
Malik: Sure took you a long time, huh?
Daricio: Who asked you?
Malik: Nobody...
Daricio: Well, it is true... ^_^U
Malik: *rolls eyes*
Daricio: So, anywise, thankies to everyone who reviewed! I feel special!
Malik: You do? Why?
Daricio: Oh, be quiet, you...
Actually, speaking of reviews...
Well, my Millennium Magic story started out going good, but lately... well... Let's put it this way: Last chapter I posted, I got four reviews. Four. That's it. For the whole chapter. Needless to say, although the few who do review like the story, I'm seriously considering discontinueing it.
This is not only due to the fact that I'm not getting reviews, though. It's also due to the fact that with so many stories, it often takes me forever to do any updates. (In case you actually haven't noticed...) and discontinueing would create lots more time to write my other stories...
So, unless I get enough people telling me not to discontinue the story, that's what I'm going to do...
And speaking of not updating fast, don't expect me to really be updating very quickly... I have a LOT of things on my mind lately, and I honestly DON'T need the extra pressure and stress of people flaming me or sticking stinky things in my soul room *cough*Livi*cough* when I don't update! (And if you haven't noticed, yes I'm a little bit stressed at the moment...)
Also, a lot of people recently have been telling me a whole lot about random typos and errors that have been appearing in my story... *Cough*PerfectArms*Cough* And to this, I have one thing to say: *Sticks tongue out* I don't care!!!!! Yes, I know I spelled Tristan wrong. I know that I typoed my own name at one point! I know I knwo I know!!! V_V *blink* I just typoed "know"... V_V!!! V_V!!! V_V!!!!!!!!!
Malik: Ha ha.
Daricio: Quiet!
On a lighter note, I've been doing some Yu-Gi-Oh fan art! I personally think most of it sucks cuz I keep messing up on it, but others tell me I'm doing pretty good... I'm going to post it up on my new home page and soon as I'm not too busy to do so... ^_^U which may be a while, actually..
Well, nothing else really to say at the moment, so let's go into my review responses...
Malik: *rolls eyes* Fun...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ethelflead: Sorry you've been having computer promlems... Me too... V_V I think technology hates me... ^^U And long reivews aren't stupid, they good! ^^
Devious-Duo: Thanks for telling me! I'll be sure to look at that...
Kate Ryou: ^^ You're related to Rada! (sorta) If you're Yami's wife, then Rada, (mine and Shells's character) is your daughter! *ahem* back to other things, I'm pretty sure you can figure out your story without me reading it over your shoulder while you write. ^^ Thanks for reviewing!
Taby: Thanks for telling me what Trigun is... And yes, I did see Joey's betrayal... V_V and yes, I do also think that Odion is a stupid name. (Never will I call him that, never never never.)
NekoPlushie: Yeah, I know, I know... But it's still funny listening to it... ^_^
Caterfree: See above for explanation of taking long time to update. ^_^U See, I personally DO hate short chappies, especially when it takes forever for the author to update, so, frankly, I'm a bit annoyed at myself... ^_^U Thanks for you support, though.
Tamera Raymond: Thanks a ton for your support! ^_^
Mojobubbles: Yeah, I know how they got Ishizu from Isis... I saw the lil movie clips... ^_^ But the idea is, the Daricio in my story DOESN'T know that because, unlike me, she doesn't spend forever on the computer all the time! (and this is becuase when I started the story, I didn't spend forever on the computer either... I'm trying to kinda capture myself at the age that I started writing it at... Yah know, no glassies, no computer, etc. etc. etc.) ^_^ And yes, YAY I got the CD!!! Unfortunetally... -_- My stereo killed it!!!!! AAAAARGGGGHHH!!!!!!
Malik: Be glad. It killed the evil Pegasus song...
Daricio: V_V But it also killed "The World of Yu-Gi-Oh" "Heart of the Cards" and "Millennium Battle" !!! I liked those songs!!!
C.M. Aeris Queen of Insanity: Somehow, I don't think you got the note that I don't like swearing... -_-UUU
Also, uh... I think that was a compliment and an insult... You're in love with the story, but it has more errors than anything you've ever read??? What errors??? Please send me an e-mail with more details... If I'm messing up, I want to know. (Unless it's just something stupid like typos everywhere or spelling errors... I already know that I typo everywhere... V_V)
And, no, I don't need info on the eppies... I have most of them recorded already... Plus, I'm trying to make the story sound like it's been edited from what happened to what the FWCs show to us. Because of this, I'm trying to do it mostly by memory so that there will be those minor differences.
(If that's where my "errors" come in, that's why.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Daricio: And now, to the story!
Malik: yay....
Daricio: ^_^
***********************************************************
{Joey}
Joey slowly opened his eyes, only to have the light glinting off the alleyway walls and sidewalk shine into them, forcing him to pull them shut again.
Now that he was a little more awake than he had been, he attempted to shift his weight a little bit. Pain shot through his legs and arm and he winced slightly. After a while, he found that he was in a sitting position, leaning up against a wall of some sort.
'How did I get here?' he wondered slightly. Suddenly a rush of memories came flooding back. Trying to get over to the hospital, cutting through an alleyway... The Rare Hunters... His Red Eyes... Serenity...
He vaugely remembered coming to sometime in the middle of the night and pushing himself into this position before passing out again... Those Rare Hunters really knew how to pack a punch...
He opened his eyes again, looking around the alleyway. Everything was still a little blurry, and he could feel that his right eye was starting to swell a little.
"Oh, man!" Joey closed his eyes again and leaned up heavily against the wall. "Serenity's going to kill me!" He groaned.
He tried to stand up, but was too weak to do so. He sighed in frustration. "I... gotta get to... Serenity!" He muttered to himself. "She... She was counting on me..."
But the blackness was coming back, the short effort of trying to get up having drained him of whatever energy he had left.
He sat still, breathing heavily, trying not to go unconscious again. He had to be there for Serenity... to help her through her operation... He let out another sigh of frustration and pain.
"Joey? Joey! where are ya, man?" He suddenly heard somebody calling his name."Jooooooooey!!!!"
Joey frowned, still mostly unconscious. 'Oh great, now I'm halucinating...'
"Joey! Joooey!"
"Go away...." Joey muttered. He doubted anyone heard him, though.
"Joey! Joey! Jo-" there was a pause in the shouting, then, "Joey!?! Man, what happened to you? Joey, can ya hear me?" The voice was now right next to him.
Joey groaned, then attempted to open his eyes again. "Tristan?" he asked.
"Oh, thank goodness, you're ok. We gotta get you to the Hospital, buddy!" Tristan began trying to help him up onto his feet. "You gotta help your sister!"
"What do you think I was trying to do?" Joey said wearily, trying to sound like his normal self. "Just sitting around taking a nap?"
Tristan led him over to his motercycle and helped him get on. "Just hold onto me now, ok?"
Joey nodded, and they took off. He was still feeling dizzy, but soon the air blowing into his face began to clear his head.
After a while, the two of them passed by Yugi and Tea.
"Look who I found!" Tristan called. Joey heard them shout something back to him, but it was lost on the wind. Soon, the hospital loomed up.
"We're almost there, just keep holding on!" Tristan yelled to him.
"I can see that! I'm not blind, ya know!" Joey yelled back.
Soon the cycle stopped and Joey got off, heading inside the building. "Thanks, man!" he said to Tristan.
"Hey, no problem. What happened, anyway?" Tristan asked.
Joey shook his head. "I'll explain later. Long story. For now, I gotta go see my sister."
Tristan nodded. "Let's go."
They raced as quickly as they could through the halls without getting told off by any of the nurses, and finally came around the corner leading to Serenity's hospital room.
Joey took a deep breath.
"Serenity, let us into this room, please!" There was his mom, looking like she was on the verge of tears. "The doctors need to do the operation, and they can't if you won't come out!"
"I won't do it, then! Not if Joey's not here to help me!" he heard Serenity cry through the closed door.
One of the doctors turned to Joey's mom. "I don't have time for this. We have other patients. I'm sorry."
"No, please wait! I'm sure she'll come out, please just wait!" Joey's mom sobbed, obviously very stressed out over the whole thing.
"Yeah, doc, hang on a minute." Joey said, walking closer.
"Joseph!"
Suddenly, all eyes were on him as he walked across the hall towards the door.
"I'll take care of this." he said softly to his mom. Then he turned to the door. "Serenity? It's Joey. Will you open up the door so we can talk?"
"No! You didn't show up last night! You promised, Joey, you promised!" Serenity's voice broke and she began to cry.
Joey leaned up against the door, feeling tears come to his own eyes. "I'm sorry, Serenity. I was trying to get there, honest. Some creeps cornered me last night... they forced me into a duel... beat me up... But that's no excuse. I should have been here for ya! I'm really sorry."
He took another deep breath and waited. The door opened, and there was Serenity.
She looked up at her brother and gave him a huge hug. "Joey!" she whispered. "I'm scared..."
"It'll be okay. I'll be there with ya every step of the way." Joey said comfortingly. "I promise."
"Thank you."
****************************************************************
{Yugi}
It was a relief for Yugi to know that Joey had been found and taken to see his sister. Everything was going to be fine now...
He hoped so anyway...
Yugi was now back at his house and had recieved a phone call from Joey saying that the operation would go as planned now and thanking him for going out and looking fo him.
Yugi flopped down onto his bed and sighed, glancing at the clock. It was already 7:00 in the morning...
When Joey's mom had called at first, Yugi hadn't bothered Daricio, knowing that she had been up already, doing her paper route and didn't need any distractions, but she was definitely back by now, seeing as she had to be done with the route by 6:30.
He went into his soul room and went over to the door seperating their two soul rooms. Opening it, he stepped inside the corridor and knocked on Daricio's room.
At first, there was no reply, but after a while Yugi noticed that he could faintly hear an alarm clock going off.
"Hey, Daricio? Daricio!!!" Yugi called. "According to your alarm clock, you need to get up! Daricio?"
About two seconds passed, and then the sound of the alarm stopped.
"WHAT??!?!?!?!!?" Daricio suddenly squealed from the other room.
"What is it?" Yugi asked quickly.
The door opened, letting Yugi in, and then Daricio was off racing about her room.
Yugi looked around. "Are you late for something?" he asked.
Daricio nodded, then got back to getting ready. "It's 7:00 already, of course I'm late!"
Yugi was momentarily confused, thinking hard about what it could be that Daricio was late for, and then he grinned. "Did you not get up for the paper route this morning?"
Daricio sighed, still getting ready as fast as she could. "Yes, I slept through my alarm! Why do you think it was going off??? School starts in 45 minutes, and I still have to completely get ready, AND those papers are still sitting there in the living room waiting to be delivered!"
Yugi turned back to his own soul room. "I'll go get Yami. Me and him will help you with your paper route, then you can get ready for school. You'll probably be late today, though."
Daricio shook her head. "No, by now, My mom'll be awake, and if she sees you guys, she'll flip! And what about the neighbors? Most of them are huge Yu-Gi-Oh fans and also get up early for school. If they see you..."
"Ok, ok, I get it." Yugi said, sighing. "I'm too famous to do anything anymore."
"Well, that and your hair style would attract lots of attention."
"What's wrong with my hair?"
"Nothing, it's just very unusual, that's all."
"I happen to like my hair, thank you very much."
Daricio grinned. "I know. My mom wouldn't though."
Yugi frowned. "Yeah, ok..." he said after a moment.
"And don't worry about it. I've been late to school before, it's no big deal..." Daricio said. Then she muttered, "I just wish somebody had woken me up..."
*****************************************************************
{Interlude: Mr. Gice}
"Just a little more.. One more... There!" Mr. Gice held up his newest gadget for his non-existant audience to see.
It was what looked like a small round ball, only it had small little wings attached to each side of it. It also had two buttons on the top of it.
"It's MY version of the FWC." Mr. Gice announced to himself, turning it around so that the camera's lens turned toward the room. He flicked one of the buttons located on top of the ball shaped camera and one of the screens near him in his semi-large laboratory lit up, showing the view from the camera.
Mr. Gice grinned. "And this is it's test drive. To see if it works."
He placed the RWC (Real World Camera) onto a table and picked up a control pad.
Turning on the control pad and playing with a few buttons on it, Mr. Gice made the wings on the RWC reveal their purpose. They each had little boosters inside and with the control pad running, the RWC began to zoom around the room, completely under Mr. Gice's control.
Mr. Gice watched the flight of his creation for a while, grinning slightly as he ran the thing into a few pictures on the wall, knocking them off, then he looked back down at his control pad.
"Aviation, check." he said, nodding. "Time for step two of testing procedures."
He flicked on another switch on the control pad and then set it back down on the table.
Then he began to walk around the room. The RWC stopped what it was doing and began to follow him around, keeping pointed on his every move.
Mr. Gice nodded and jogged back over to his screen. The RWC followed obediently, still tracking him.
"Filming follower, Check. Soundlessness, check." Mr. Gice listed off. "Time for step three of testing procedures."
He picked up his control pad again and flicked off the Filming follower (Ff) then he propelled the RWC into a landing on his desk. He picked it up and pressed the second button on the top of it.
The RWC became invisible, although Mr. Gice could still feel it. He set it back onto the desk, then set the control pad back to Ff mode. He set the pad down and watched his screen.
It was a success. The RWC was still transmitting everything it was seeing, was still tracking him perfectly, and he still couldn't exactly figure out where it was. Perfect.
"Invisibility, check." Mr. Gice smiled. This was the part he had been worried about, but it seemed to have worked fine. "Time for step four."
He pressed another switch on the control pad and the RWC slowly came back into view, hovering over his head.
"Emergency Inviso-turn-off switch, check. Step five..."
He switched it off of Ff mode and piloted it back onto the desk. "This is the dangerous part..."
He flipped two more switches on his control pad, and a cover slipped off of a big red button in the corner. He hesitated a moment, then pressed down on the switch.
At first, nothing happened. Then there was a big flash of light as a few cables short circuted and blew, scattering sparks everywhere! His screen went fuzzy.
Mr. Gice looked carefully over the damage. "Transportation to Freaky World... Uncheck..."
***********************************************************************
I was going to put up another POV, but I decided I wanted to get this chappie up... It's pretty short by my usual standards, but hey, so was last chappie, and at least this one didn't take forever to get posted up.
For those of you who are wondering, I'm going to stop writing for a little while... Lately, writing has been making me slightly frustrated, (stupid writers block and computer errors and people watching over my shoulder as I write) and so I'm taking a break. Especially with Millennium Magic.
I MAY update Ring Logic, but maybe not... *shrugs* It's actually one of the main reasons I'm feeling frustrated... I have almost 60 (really strange) reviews already on it!!! That is a TON of reviews for such a stupid pointless ficcie that I was only doing in my spare time cuz I thought it would be funny. Especially when you compare it to the whole 4 reviews I got for Millennium Magic, and the puny amount of reviews I've been getting for Millennium Item Girl, and the barely decent amount of reviews I've been getting for this...
If I get enough reviews telling me to keep going on Millennium Magic and my other ficcies, (Except Ring Logic) I may start up writing again... But until then, like I said, I'm taking a much needed break.
(I will still be on the computer, so my AIM will be up and I'll still be reviewing on stories that I read.)
See you next time I update... (Which may or may not be a while, depending on how many reviews I get...)

Malik: Sure took you a long time, huh?

It was what looked like a small round ball, only it had small little wings attached to each side of it. It also had two buttons on the top of it.
"It's MY version of the FWC." Mr. Gice announced to himself, turning it around so that the camera's lens turned toward the room. He flicked one of the buttons located on top of the ball shaped camera and one of the screens near him in his semi-large laboratory lit up, showing the view from the camera.
Mr. Gice grinned. "And this is it's test drive. To see if it works."
He placed the RWC (Real World Camera) onto a table and picked up a control pad.
Turning on the control pad and playing with a few buttons on it, Mr. Gice made the wings on the RWC reveal their purpose. They each had little boosters inside and with the control pad running, the RWC began to zoom around the room, completely under Mr. Gice's control.
Mr. Gice watched the flight of his creation for a while, grinning slightly as he ran the thing into a few pictures on the wall, knocking them off, then he looked back down at his control pad.
"Aviation, check." he said, nodding. "Time for step two of testing procedures."
He flicked on another switch on the control pad and then set it back down on the table.
Then he began to walk around the room. The RWC stopped what it was doing and began to follow him around, keeping pointed on his every move.
Mr. Gice nodded and jogged back over to his screen. The RWC followed obediently, still tracking him.
"Filming follower, Check. Soundlessness, check." Mr. Gice listed off. "Time for step three of testing procedures."
He picked up his control pad again and flicked off the Filming follower (Ff) then he propelled the RWC into a landing on his desk. He picked it up and pressed the second button on the top of it.
The RWC became invisible, although Mr. Gice could still feel it. He set it back onto the desk, then set the control pad back to Ff mode. He set the pad down and watched his screen.
It was a success. The RWC was still transmitting everything it was seeing, was still tracking him perfectly, and he still couldn't exactly figure out where it was. Perfect.
"Invisibility, check." Mr. Gice smiled. This was the part he had been worried about, but it seemed to have worked fine. "Time for step four."
He pressed another switch on the control pad and the RWC slowly came back into view, hovering over his head.
"Emergency Inviso-turn-off switch, check. Step five..."
He switched it off of Ff mode and piloted it back onto the desk. "This is the dangerous part..."
He flipped two more switches on his control pad, and a cover slipped off of a big red button in the corner. He hesitated a moment, then pressed down on the switch.
At first, nothing happened. Then there was a big flash of light as a few cables short circuted and blew, scattering sparks everywhere! His screen went fuzzy.
Mr. Gice looked carefully over the damage. "Transportation to Freaky World... Uncheck..."

I was going to put up another POV, but I decided I wanted to get this chappie up... It's pretty short by my usual standards, but hey, so was last chappie, and at least this one didn't take forever to get posted up.
For those of you who are wondering, I'm going to stop writing for a little while... Lately, writing has been making me slightly frustrated, (stupid writers block and computer errors and people watching over my shoulder as I write) and so I'm taking a break. Especially with Millennium Magic.
I MAY update Ring Logic, but maybe not... *shrugs* It's actually one of the main reasons I'm feeling frustrated... I have almost 60 (really strange) reviews already on it!!! That is a TON of reviews for such a stupid pointless ficcie that I was only doing in my spare time cuz I thought it would be funny. Especially when you compare it to the whole 4 reviews I got for Millennium Magic, and the puny amount of reviews I've been getting for Millennium Item Girl, and the barely decent amount of reviews I've been getting for this...
If I get enough reviews telling me to keep going on Millennium Magic and my other ficcies, (Except Ring Logic) I may start up writing again... But until then, like I said, I'm taking a much needed break.
(I will still be on the computer, so my AIM will be up and I'll still be reviewing on stories that I read.)
See you next time I update... (Which may or may not be a while, depending on how many reviews I get...)
