When Worlds Collide
Note: Well, here goes my best shot. Don't hate me if I make the characters a little different, I'm only a lowly writer, not the creator. Besides, they're more fun when you get to put your own spin on things. Feedback encouraged!
Chapter Two: Strange Encounters
"Where are we, Steph?"
"Like I know… it looks almost like… no, that can't…"
"Oh my… is that…?"
Steph nodded weakly and we both continued to stare at the very tall building that we knew all to well from our beloved Saturday mornings.
"Alright… which one of us is dreaming?" I asked, looking at my friend hoping that she'd tell me it was indeed a dream.
Instead, she blinked dully at the tall Kaiba Corp. building in amazement. "Do you think we've lost our minds? Maybe we actually got hit by that lightning…"
"Who's on my property?" A cruel voice called out, causing Steph's eyes to glaze in a manner that could mean only one thing; Seto Kaiba.
"What are we supposed to say? Hi, we're nuts and think we are in the world of Yu-gi-oh?"
"You there, get over here and explain yourselves! I want a solid explanation or you'll be facing charges… You're only a couple of little girls… well, this is certainly very interesting, but you're wasting my time. Are you both so stupid that you can't even talk. Maybe you should go and find Wheeler… he's closer to your intelligence le-"
"I would appreciate it if you would not insult me or my friend. If you want to pick on someone, go find somebody who actually cares!"
I smiled despite myself. That was just like Steph… showing her love by treating him the same way he treats everyone… of course, she pretty much does the same thing if you aren't lucky enough to be her friend.
"Who do you think you are, talking to me like that? And you, the moron, quit smiling!"
That was the final straw for me, but I would never, ever yell at someone as menacing as Seto Kaiba. Instead, I glared coldly at him while waiting for Steph to defend me. Even Seto Kaiba was chilled by my stare… I could see it in his eyes, though he tried very hard to show no emotion.
"Do not insult me! And do NOT insult Lily… only I'm allowed to do that, got it? Who do YOU think YOU are?"
"I am Seto Kaiba, and this conversation is really wasting my time. What do you two geeks want?"
I fought off the urge to thank him for the "compliment", which was a long standing inside joke between Steph and I. Instead, I summoned my heartless voice.
"Perhaps we have decided to take a little walk, Mr. Kaiba. Do you… have… have… a… a …" My courage faltered and I looked pleadingly at Steph.
"She means, 'Do you have a problem with that?'."
"As a matter of fact, yes I do. You've wasted enough of my time. Guards, please get these idiots out of my sight!"
As the tall, suited strangers grabbed us, even my timid nature couldn't keep me from fighting back.
"Get your grimy hands off me, creep," I said in my signature deadly whisper. The guard just laughed in amusement as I struggled to break free.
Steph, however, being a tough girl, actually broke the grip of her attacker long enough to threaten her very first CEO. I'm sure she was very proud at that moment.
"You'll regret this, Seto Kaiba… I'll make sure of it!"
"And that comes from me, too! I will glare very threateningly from the sidelines while I watch her beat you to a-"
The guards pushed us out the gate and we realized that Kaiba had been gone for quite a while.
"I think that went well," Steph proclaimed. "He loves me already!"
I sighed and shook my head. Ahh, angry brave people, you gotta love em, I thought.
End Note: Stay tuned dearies! Next, we find out what's going on… or maybe not… It depends on when I figure it out…
