"Chapter V: Pegasus's Banquet - Part One"

"Hey, Uncle Gurenu!" Shira called, entering the kitchen.

"Yeah?" Gurenu answered; he was on the computer, which was on the table next to the stove.

"Did you hear about Pegasus's party?" She asked, her hands rested on the chair next to Gurenu.

"Yup." He answered.

"Can we go, please?" Shira asked, hopefully.

"Hmmm... Yeah, sure." Gurenu answered as the door bell rang.

"I'll get it!" Shira said.

"Uh uh... Last time you went out, you went missing!" Gurenu said.

"Hey, that was when we first moved here!" Shira cried.

"I'm answering." Gurenu got up, left the room, and entered the hall to go answer.

Gurenu opened the door.

"Huh?"

No one was there.

"Pranksters." Gurenu closed the door, and headed back in.

The door bell rang again, repeatedly this time.

Gurenu walked back to the door, again, and opened it.

"Hey, Uncle Gurenu. Hey, Uncle Gurenu." Kuf said, standing there, still ringing the door bell.

"Oh, hey, Kuf." Gurenu said to his nephew.

Kuf was wearing very black sunglasses.

"Kuf!" Shira called to her baby brother, entering the hall.

"Where have you been!" She asked.

"Hm? Me? I, uh, I was at the arcade." Kuf answered.

"Hmph!" Shira turned around, and headed back into the frontroom; Kuf and Gurenu followed.

"The Mets are losing..." Dina complained, sadly.

Kuf went and joined his mother on the couch.

"Hi, Kuf. How was your day?" She asked, brushing her hand over his head as she let it rest on the top of the couch.

"Hi. Um, fine." Kuf answered, muttering.

"Hm? Whatya say?" She asked, barely paying attention to him, and more to the ball game.

"Hm, it was okay." Kuf answered, only a bit louder.

"Ah, that's nice." She replied, continuing to watch the details of the game.

"Kid, is something wrong?" Shira asked, sitting down on the couch next to Kuf, making him bounce a bit.

Kuf shook his head.

"Just... One thing... I'm huuunnnngggrrrrryyyy." Kuf answered.

"Just a minute." Dina told her son, without even looking away from the screen.

"Hahaha... You're always hungry." Shira said, rubbing her brother's head, and messing up his hair in the progess.

"Hrr..." Kuf made that sound.

"'Kay. Well, I'm going to my room. See ya." Shira got up, and went into the hall, heading up the stairs.

"I'm going to my room." Kuf got up, yawning and went upstairs to his bedroom, to plan his next plot.


Shira entered her room, closed the door, and plopped down on her bed. Rolling over on her back; she stared up at the blank, white ceiling; thinking to herself.

Then her phone rang.

"SHUT UP!" Shira yelled at her phone, getting up to answer it.

"What do you want!" She nearly shouted into the phone.

"Uh, Shira?" A male voice replied.

"Huh? Who's this?" She asked, calming down.

"It's Aju." Came the answer.

"Oh, hi!" She answered, more cheerful now.

Aju Shiebu was her boyfriend from North America.

"What is it?"

"I just arrived in Domino, and I'm going to Pegasus's banquet, just ta let ya know." Aju told her.

"Wow, us too." Shira said.

"That's great!" Aju cried, happy.

"See you there then?" Shira asked, hopefully.

"Yeah." Aju answered.

"Do you still look the same, I hope?" She asked.

"Yep." Aju replied. Aju had black dark green hair with forest green highlights, deep blue eyes, and a southern accent.

"Do you duel?" She asked.

"Yep." Aju answered.

"That's good..." She let out her breath slowly.


"BAD BOYS! BAD BOYS! BAD BOYS! WHAT YA GONNA DO WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU?" This song was on the TV briefly before Kuf turned it off.

"Re-run." He said outloud.

Kuf then took off his sunglasses, and put them into his drawer, and looked at himself in the mirror, while yawning.

His once dark brown eyes were now deep red like blood.

Kuf blinked, and realized only his left eye was the deep red, while his right was still it's original.

"Oh, my gosh, it's Mahahku." Kuf said outloud, dully, and began to rub his eyes hard.

"Maybe it's just something in my eye..." Kuf muttered, keeping his left eye closed.

He stood up and opened his left eye, then began screaming at the top of his lungs.

A banging came at Kuf's door.

"Kuf! What's going on in there!" Gurenu was yelling, while trying to get in.

Kuf went and opened the door for his uncle.

"I-I-I saw a spider... Kill it!" Kuf cried.

"Kill it! Kill it! Kill it!" Kuf kept saying.

"Come on, it's just a spider." Gurenu told him.

"But they're scawy." Kuf said in baby-ish talk. "I hate how they move!" Kuf cringed, hugging himself tightly.

"Come on..." Gurenu sighed, and walked down the stairs.

"Hey, Kuf, what's the matter?" Shira asked, coming over from her room. "SPIDER!" Kuf cried.

"See you later." Shira said, and went downstairs; she hated spiders just as much as her baby brother did.

Mahahku closed the door as he stepped back into his host's bedroom.

As Mahahku made his way to the window, he squished the spider; and then opened the window.

He then jumped out, and landed on the ground beneath, and used his magic to close the window behind him.


"Uncle, I'm home!" Tea called as she entered her house.

"How was your day? Tell me everything!" Her uncle said to her, like he always did every day of her life.

Tea told him every bit, well, mostly every bit.


Pegasus woke up, because his alarm clock was ringing.

He yawned, got up, grabbed a mallet and smashed his clock.

"Ah, half hour to my banquet." Pegasus exclaimed.

He went into his closet, and undressed his PJs, and put new clothes on.

"Ha, Croquet, do you have everyone ready?" Pegasus asked his servant.

"Yes, except the people." Croquet answered.

"What? Where's the pizza?" Pegasus asked.

"In the kitchen." Croquet answered.

"Well, bring it out then!" Pegasus told him.

"When the party's ready..." Croquet replied, thought gritted teeth and anger.

"What! You disobey your master! I have a gun in this pocket!" Pegasus told him.

"I didn't know." Croquet said dully, and headed into the kitchen, while Pegasus sat down.

"CROQUET! CROQUET!" Pegasus called.

"WHAT!" Croquet snapped angrily, with the pizza in his hands.

"Put the pizza down. I wanna a piece!" Pegasus told him.

Croquet put it down in front of Pegasus.

"This is pepperoni!" Pegasus hit the first box of pizza off the top of the other boxes, Croquet caught it before it fell all over.

"Ah, this is better." Pegasus said, taking a slice of plain cheese pizza.

"Okay, you can go to sleep." Pegasus told Croquet.

"Good, I was planning to." Croquet sighed.

"Only for 15 minutes." Pegasus said, taking another bite of pizza.


"Well, I'm leaving... Or can I stay with you?" Abagail asked Joey.

"You can stay with me." Joey answered, getting thoughts.

"Hey, wanna go to the banquet? Even though I hate Peg-" Joey was interrupted.

"Oh, I LOVE Pegasus!" Abagail cheerfully told him. "Oh, what were you saying?"

"I hate Peg... legs, I hope he doesn't have peg-legged chairs..." Joey said, quickly thinking of that excuse.

"Heehee, you're funny, Joey." Abagail giggled.

"Yeah, I'm a really funny guy now..." Joey said. "...You wanna get him a gift?" Joey asked.

"Would I! Yeah, of course!" Abagail smiled, eagerly. "C'mon, lets go shopping." Abagail grabbed Joey's arm, pulling him. "Will you carry everything for me, please?"

"Will I get extra credit?" Joey asked.

"Uh, sure." Abagail answered.

"I'll carry then!" Joey said.


Later on...

"It's nearly time, Pegasus." Croquet told him.

"Who cares? Oh, yeah, my birthday." Pegasus said, remembering.

"They should arrive any minute." Croquet said, waiting to hear the sound of the door bell.

Once, everyone arrived, or at least most of them...

"Is that all of you? Good." Pegasus didn't even let them answer.

"That was cruel. He didn't even wait for an answer." Tristan told Serenity, who was standing next to him.

"Hmm..."

Then whispering.

"Croquet, do something!" Pegasus told his butler.

"Okay." Croquet said.

"Say something. Say something. Say something." Pegasus repeated.

"Pegasus, stay here." Croquet told him. "Everybody else, follow me." Croquet walked past the crowd into a huge room.

"But it's my birthday..." Pegasus muttered, watching them leave.


"Do any of you sing good? Good, we're all gonna sing 'Happy Birthday, Pegasus', while we bring his overly giant birthday cake out, with presents all around it." Croquet told everyone.

Some people groaned, others stayed silent.

"Okay, then."

The candles on the giant cake were already lit.

"Happy Birthday-" Croquet began singing, opening the doors.

"Hey, that cake won't fit though the door..." Pegasus exclaimed.

"Yes, it will." Croquet pushed a button and the walls moved aside so the giant cake could come out; it was even bigger then a wedding cake.

"Happy Birthday, Pegasus..." Croquet continued singing, and some others sang along too.

After the birthday song...

"Okay, Pegasus will decide what he wants to do first. Danc-" Croquet began. "I wanna eat the cake!" Pegasus cried, happy as a little boy.

"You have to share." Croquet told him, like a parent would to their child. "Hmph... I wanna eat it all... Okay, I'll share." Pegasus said reluctantly.

Croquet walked over to the cake, and began to cut off a piece.

"Everyone cuts off their own piece. Croquet, you cut off mine. I don't want it too small or medium." Pegasus told him, leaving the option of a large piece.

Croquet then cut him a really big piece.


"Why'd I have to come to this party when I should be looking for the Millennium Puzzle instead..." Yugi whined outloud to himself.

Mahahku (as Kuf) looked over at Yugi, and Yugi saw him looking over.

"Hey, Kuf." Yugi greeted, walking over to him.

"Hey, Yugi." Kuf/Mahahku said to Yugi.

"Wanna duel after the party?" Kuf asked.

"Maybe." Yugi answered after a moment of pausing. "So, what brings you here?"

"I wanted to go to the banquet." Kuf/Mahahku answered.

"Well, I came because I'm looking for the thief who bought my Millennium Puzzle." Yugi told him about the whole thing.

"Because my Grandpa was selling it..." Yugi said.

"But he bought it." Kuf/Mahahku pointed out the person couldn't be a thief.

"But I didn't want him to sell it." Yugi protested.

"Why didn't you stop him?" Kuf/Mahahku asked him.

"Because he bought it when I was upstairs." Yugi pointed out.

"How do you know if he's here?" Kuf/Mahahku asked.

"Everyone's here... I think..." Yugi answered.

"Okay." Kuf/Mahahku walked off, and entered the Men's Restroom.


Jiggy was asleep on the bathroom floor with math books around him.

Mahahku entered, and Jiggy woke up.

"Ah..." Jiggy mumbled surprised.

"Where are the other two?" Mahahku demanded.

"I'll get them." Jiggy ran out past Mahahku.


"Hi Aju." Shira greeted her boyfriend, walking over to him.

"Oh, hi, Eig... Shira." Aju, who seemed to have lost his accent, and seemed to have forgotten her name or something.

"Huh, what were you going to call me?" She asked curious.

"Nothing." Aju answered.

"Well, aren't you going to kiss me? Or you don't like me anymore?" Shira teased, and Aju went over to her, kissing her on the lips.

"HAHA! IT'S A COUPLE!" Jiggy laughed as he took a picture of them together kissing, with the camera he had.

Jiggy was running away quickly and stopped.

"Hey, wasn't that her?" Jiggy asked outloud, turning back, but more people just got in his way.

"Get outta our way, ya thing of jell-o!" A guy yelled at him.

"I'M NOT JELL-O! MAJIN BUU'S JELL-O!" Jiggy ran off after that.

"No, he's not. He's... What is he?" One guy asked.

"He's gum." Another said.

"Uh, do you remember my brothers?" Shira asked.

"Uh huh." Aju answered.

"Wanna dance or something?" Shira asked, placing her arms around his neck.

"OKAY! AFTER MY CAKE, WE ALL DANCE!" Pegasus told everyone though a mouthful of cake.

"Why not?" Aju flirtingly asked her.

"Are you, uh, here alone?" Shira asked.

"Yeah." Aju answered.

"TIME FOR DANCING! YEAH, LET'S DO IT!" Pegasus shouted, after finishing his cake finally.

"Okay then, let's dance." Aju said; then Shira nodded and they began to dance.

A soft, slow medieval-like song began playing.
