Oh man! I am so sorry about the lack of updates! I've had a lot of internet problems (stupid weather (grumbles)) and it turns out that the password ended up changing so even though the internet could have been working, it wasn't because the password ended up being changed. Ah, it sucks. Anyways, I'm planning to update my other fics real soon. I finished exams this afternoon (hopefully I passed. . .) and I have a few days off now. So, sorry about the updates and lack of reviews (if you have fics that should've had reviews from me, but you didn't get any, and they've been updated, just let me know and I'll go read them 'cause I want to read updated fics (smiles)).

Our Sucky Little Keyboard That No One Cares About and Will Probably Never Look At (OSLKTNOCAWPNLA for short )
Is OSLKTNOCAWPNLA even a word? Hmm, somehow, I don't think so...but, I can make up words! So can you! Like Fudgeamania! watches readers back away slowly ...oops?

Anything written in normal text (like this) is the actual story.
Anything written in italics (like this) is when flashbacks or dreams are occurring.
Anything written in bold (like this) is someone acting as a narrator-slash-voice over. (You think I'm rich enough to hire two people?)
Anything written in bold italics (like this) are song lyrics.

Please note that original characters may be brought in due to the lack of females in Yu-Gi-Oh.

So now, let's begin the torture. . .err, chapter! smiles innocently Oh and by the way, most of this fic is word for word, however, some things may change.

Please review!


Ishizu sighed and walked back over to Julia, who was now standing behind the counter, shoving the napkins into the metal dispenser.

"I'm a very appealing person." Julia and Ishizu mimicked Cecelia before exchanging grins.

"That woman can make a nun swear," Ishizu commented in a mutter.

"I'm glad I'm graduating a year early so I can be three thousand miles away in Princeton." Julia commented, shoving the napkins into the dispenser.

Ishizu turned to Julia and pointed a finger at her. "You can get a scholarship to the University of Mars, and it still wouldn't be far enough."

Julia smiled slightly and was about to comment when Eleanor, another waitress, skated up to her, holding a couple plates. "Julia, honey, I'm desperate. Can you cover the back for me?"

Julia looked to the table and noticed that Mai and her friends were there.

"But, I. . .uh. . ."

Eleanor tossed her a desperate look before skating off again. Julia sighed and grabbed her notepad, skating over to the table.

As she skated up, Mai was looking through the menu. "Why do I have a feeling I wouldn't be able to get a zone meal here?"

A some-what tall girl with emerald green eyes and long lilac coloured hair pulled up into a half-ponytail, the remaining hair being tied together with long orange feathers, and her bangs in a side-part, spoke up. "I already ate."

"Amara," another boy, roughly her height with black spiked hair, red and blonde streaks running through it, and blonde bangs with sharp amethyst eyes smirked. "Wax doesn't count as a food group."

Amara tossed the boy a sick look as Mai looked up.

"Wow, the visiting diner girl." Mai smirked.

"What can I get you guys?" Julia asked, standing at the table.

"What can I get here that has no sugar, no carbs," Mai started before looking up. "and is fat-free?"

Julia rolled her eyes before pretending to think for a moment.

"Water."

"Water." Joey's friend, Yami, mimicked Julia, snickering.

"Was that supposed to be a joke?" Mai's other friend, Jamie-Ross, a girl with long brown hair with blonde highlights and hazel coloured eyes, asked, quirking a brow at Julia.

"It's funny." Joey commented, a grin crossing his face.

Mai sighed and looked up. "I'll have a Voz."

"Excuse me?" Julia asked, quirking a brow.

"It's water. From Norway." Amara replied in an annoyed tone of voice.

Tristan, a tall boy with brown hair and eyes, snickered along with Yami. Joey rolled his eyes, trying, himself, not to laugh.

"Sorry, we only have water from the Valley." Julia answered, getting slightly annoyed.

"Oh well," Mai sighed, glancing back down at the menu before looking up at Julia and tossing her a cheeky grin. "I'll have an iced tea."

"Make that two." Yami spoke up, lifting his arm a bit and pointing up at the ceiling.

"You know," Tristan spoke up, grinning. "I'm still waiting on that breakfast burrito, diner girl. Thank you."

Julia rolled her eyes, a look of disgust crossing her face before skating away. Mai frowned.

"Ah, she is so not getting a tip." Mai commented.

Joey turned to look at Mai, one arm resting on the table, the other resting on the top of the booth. "Mai, we need to talk. Privately."

"Anything you say to me," Mai replied, looking back at Joey. "you can say in front of my peeps."

Yami and Tristan, who were sitting beside Joey, leant in closer towards the table, while Amara and Jamie-Ross, who were sitting beside Mai, leant in as well.

"Okay." Joey nodded, locking eyes with Mai. "I want to break up."

Amara and Jamie-Ross exchanged looks, drawing in a sharp breath before looking back to the blondes.

"Wow." Yami replied a moment later, nodding, his blonde bangs swaying lightly.

"What?" Mai shrieked. "Are you in love with somebody else?"

"I think so." Joey replied.

"No way!" Jamie-Ross cried out lightly.

"What? Who?" Tristan asked, nudging his best friend in the arm. "Tea?"

Joey mentally gagged to himself at the thought. He turned to look back at Mai.

"I don't know. Can we just be –" he started.

Mai glared at Joey and pointed a finger at his face. She shrieked. "Don't say the word friends!"

Joey's eyes, as well as Tristan and Yami's, went slightly wide. Tristan pulled Joey closer to him and a bit farther away from the raging blonde.

"Now, fortunately for you," Mai waved her hand, closing her eyes. "I'm gonna overlook this little mental breakdown of yours."

Joey rolled his eyes and she continued, her eyes opening. "Just chill out. We're gonna go get ready for the dance and I'll see you there. Hmmm?"

Before he could reply, Jamie-Ross and Amara climbed out of the booth, allowing Mai to slip out as well. The three girls left the diner, Mai slamming the door on the way out. The remaining boys winced lightly.

"Later," Yami replied in a quiet voice.

"Later." Tristan waved slightly, a sick looking expression on his face.

"Well," Yami said, looking at Tristan. "She really took it well."

Tristan and Yami both cracked up laughing as Joey climbed out of the booth. Just then, Julia skated up with the two drinks.

Tristan waved. "Later, diner girl."

Julia quirked a brow as Tristan and Yami left. Joey sighed and walked up to Julia, opening his wallet. Julia sighed and locked eyes with him. "Don't worry about it."

She skated away and back up to the counter, standing across from Ishizu.

"You know," Ishizu commented. "Those kids remind me of why I used to fight with my siblings when we didn't live under ground anymore."

She reached over and took the cups from Julia just as Yugi entered the diner, wearing black pants, a long sleeved black shirt that tied up near the neck (Julia thought the shirt resembled a pirate shirt), a black wide brimmed hat, black running shoes and a black mask.

Joey, who was just leaving, tossed Yugi a glance but shrugged it off and left.

"Have no fear! Zorro is here!" Yugi cheered, posing, his black cape swaying slightly. "And he's got the keys to his grandfather's Mercedes!"

Walking over to Julia, he blinked. "You're not going to the dance dressed as a bus girl are you?"

"Yugi," Julia greeted, looking at him and sighing. "I'm not going."

"What do you mean you're not going?" Yugi blinked. He attempted to follow Julia behind the counter, but Ishizu shoved him lightly back out.

"Okay, okay. Sorry." Yugi said, backing away. He climbed up onto a stool and watched his best friend.

"Uh, what about cyber dude?"

"Cyber dude?" Ishizu asked, her dark eyes locking on Julia. "Is he talking about the boy who's been sending you those love notes?"

"Ishizu, they're not love notes. They're emails." Julia clarified.

"Julia, if a man is taking his time to write down his feelings for you, it's a love note." Ishizu debated.

Yugi smiled, nodding at Ishizu.

"You've got a secret admirer." Ishizu teased, a grin crossing her tanned face.

"And he wants to meet her tonight at the dance." Yugi pointed out, pointing a finger at Julia.

Ishizu rested a hand on her hip, the other against the counter. "What are you still doing here?"

"I'm obeying orders." Julia replied, grabbing a bar towel and wiping down the counter.

"Julia, Julia. This is your true love!" Yugi whined.

"Well, true love is gonna have to wait." Julia shot back, cleaning the counter, not looking at Yugi.

"Oh, girl. Please." Ishizu moaned. "Save all the drama for the soap opera. You're going to that dance."

Julia looked up at the Egyptian manager as Yugi snapped his fingers while moving his arm a few times while saying, "You keep going girlfriend!"

Ishizu shot Yugi a questionable look before looking back to Julia.

"I can't go. If Cecelia found out, she would kill me!" Julia complained before stopping. After a moment, she added on. "Then bring me back to clean up the mess."

"If she wants to hurt you, she's gonna have to go through me." Ishizu retorted, frowning.

Yugi snapped his fingers a few times again, nodding his head. "You go ahead girlfriend! Do your thang!"

Ishizu shot Yugi a frown. "Call me girlfriend one more time."

Yugi shrunk back. "Okay, sorry."

Ishizu looked back to Julia and sighed. "Julia, your dad did not leave this Earth wanting you to be unhappy. It's time for you to find your own bliss, starting with this dance."

"You need to listen to Ishizu." Rishid said, looking up from poking a dead fish with a knife. "You are always studying, you are always working."

He poked the fish a couple more times. "You need some time to yourself."

"Yeah." Eleanor added on. "Why don't you go out and bust some moves?"

Rishid stuck the knife into the fish and grinned and started dancing around the kitchen.

"Get your freak on!" he half-shrieked as he danced around the kitchen some more, completely forgetting the fish with the knife stuck in its side. He hummed a little as he attempted to "get his freak on."

The employees and Yugi watched him for a few moments, now disturbed just slightly.

Eleanor turned back to Julia with a smile. "Whatever it is that you kids do these days."

Julia smiled. "You know what?"

Yugi and Ishizu both quirked a brow as Julia continued. "You guys are right. I never do anything for myself!"

"No." Yugi pointed out.

"And I deserve to have some fun."

"That's right." Ishizu nodded.

"Alright girl! Yeah!" Yugi yelled out, punching the air as he fell backwards off the stool.

"I am going to that dance."

"Okay, great!" Yugi moaned in reply as he sat on the diner floor, rubbing his rear end.

"Yeah!" Rishid yelled out, still dancing around the kitchen. Ishizu looked at him and became deeply disturbed as she watched her adopted brother attempt to dance with kitchen supplies.

"And I'm gonna meet my true love and dance all night!"

"Yeah!" Ishizu cheered.

The whole diner cheered and clapped except for Rishid, who was now yelling out in pain as he ran face-first into the freezer door.

Ishizu shook her head at her adopted brother's antics before giving her attention back to Julia.

"I can't go." Julia sighed.

"What?" Ishizu questioned, now confused.

"I don't have a costume." Julia pointed out.

"Hmm." Ishizu thought for a moment before speaking up. "But you will."

She turned to Yugi. "You coming Zorro?"


A few minutes later, Julia, Yugi and Ishizu were all hurrying down the street to a shop. The shop owner, a some-what tall man with a muscular body and brown hair falling into his brown eyes, has just flipped the sign from open to close as Ishizu reached the door.

"Valon, Julia needs a costume!" Ishizu pleaded.

"No, no Ishizu." Valon answered in an English accent, closing his eyes and shaking his head for a moment. "I'm closed."

"Oh, come on! I'll give you free breakfast for a week!" Ishizu shot at him, pointing at the door.

Valon stopped for a minute. "Make it a month."

Ishizu rolled her eyes and agreed, hurrying in as Valon opened the door and let the three into the store.

Moments later, Ishizu was shifting through costumes on a rack. "Ra, there has to be something in here!"

Yugi was up on the second floor. "There's this one. . ."

Julia shifted through a rack of costumes, walking and tripping over the wheel of the rack. "Oof."

Valon, also looking, found something he liked and gave it to Julia, ushering her in. Coming back out a minute later dressed as a magician wearing a pink cape and hat.

Valon gave a small jump and in a happy voice, he cried, "Oh, way!"

Ishizu shook her head. "No way."

She grabbed another costume and handed it to Julia, who took it and changed, this time coming out as a witch with a grey wig.

Yugi took off his hat, and grabbed a headband that had a fake bloody knife attached to it. When he wore it, it made him look like the knife was going through his head. He grinned. "You're killing me here!"

Julia rolled her eyes and continued to change. The third time she came out as a pig. Turning her back to the other three, she bent low and shook the butt of the costume. "Puny, puny, puny, puny."

They all laughed before she changed yet again, this time walking out of the change room as a Hawaiian dancer.

Yugi's mouth dropped, wearing a pair of glasses that had plastic eyeballs dangling out of them.

"Aloha!" he greeted, his face reddening slightly.

"No, no. I got something." Valon shook his head, handing Julia another costume. She walked into the change room, changed and walked back out as a nun and sneezed.

"Bless you," everyone replied.

The last and final attempt was when Julia walked out wearing a suit of armor. She lifted up the visor and glanced weakly at Ishizu.

"Ishizu, this is hopeless!" She whined before the visor slammed shut, causing Julia to stumble and nearly fall backwards.

Ishizu raised her eyes, her head resting in her arms. She looked through the display case. She lifted her head and tapped the glass top.

"Valon, let me see that mask."

"I don't have an outfit that goes with that." Valon replied, but reached in and grabbed the mask anyways.

Ishizu finger it, studying it. "Yeah, but I do."


Once again, I'm really sorry about the wait, and I hope that this chapter made up for it.

Ashleigh Kaiba: Good for you! You became smarter! XD And yeah, I feel loved that you let me use your character. Err, one of them! And yeah, next time, I'll try to update soon.

scarlettWALES: I brought Valon in, though I think I made him sorta gay. Hmmm. . .but Valon's awesome either way. Gay or not. Heehee, I brought your beloved Valon in. Too bad he's not in it for a long time. And you're right, it's not fair that there are not many Valon fics. Perhaps I should write one when I come up with a reasonable plot line.

chinkeepdaughter126: Oh yeah, I would know about torturing reviewers. (smirks) I'm gonna go look up your fic and review the new chapter. It sucks that you have to wait for an update. Heehee, Kaiba as Joey's father, yeah, it's kinda funny to imagine, but it does work.

blue-angel11: Ooh yeah, I can't wait till I get to the part where Yugi and Mai make out. I'm gonna have a blast writing that scene. Heehee, not a very pretty site. You have that right. And Kaiba as Joey's father? (laughs) It works, even though, in a sense, it's kinda keeping them in character. That's cause whenever I watch the movie I get the feeling that Austin doesn't like his father very much, and Joey doesn't like Kaiba very much either. (grins)

Next chapter will be longer (hopefully), and my other fics will also be updated. See you next chapter!
