WA: Alrightie! School is coming back and that means more pressure! Gotta work, work, WORK!! , Read and Review pleez!

Yamu had just finished packing all her books into her book bag. She slammed her locker shut and swung her bag over her shoulder. Yamu turned around and saw Jounouchi sitting outside of the school as if waiting for someone. She walked over to him slowly, when she was halfway towards him, he looked at her and smiled and got up running towards her saying, "Hey Yamu!"

"Oh Hi Jounouchi!" Yamu said showing him a weak a smile. "You are waiting for someone?" Jounouchi nodded blushing a bit. "Ehh...Yep!" He answered wearing his Jounouchi-smirk. "I needed to ask you something." Then Yamu's stomach felt weak and was afraid of what he was going to ask but said anyway, "Ok! Shoot!"

"Alright!" He said taking a deep breath then said, "Will you go to the school dance with me?" Yamu paused and her smile faded. Jounouchi's smirk faded as well when he saw her facial expression.

"Sorry Jounouchi..." Yamu said feeling guilty, "I'm going to the dance with someone else." Jounouchi frowned and sighed, "Oh...it's alright! Then see ya at the school dance, Later!" Yamu tried to say, "Sorry" again but before she could open her mouth Jounouchi darted off leaving Yamu feeling sour and filled with guilt.

Later on that night

"Hey!"

"Grrr....Leave me alone!" Len shouted facing Rini then turned back to his TV.

"I want someone's opinion." Rini said trying on a shirt Mai, Shizuka, and Mana helped her buy.

"Well get someone else's opinion! Like get out of the house and go over to Mai's place." then muttered, "So I could watch my show in peace!"

"No! I want a guy's opinion. Do you think Mahado will like this on me?"

"I doubt he'll even care..." Len muttered under his breath.

Rini walked into the living room and turned off the TV and got in front of it standing in front of Len. She was wearing a black tank saying in blue bold letters: "Black Magician's Girl" She also had black pants. She did a little twirl and asked, "What do you think?"

(Len: T,T thinks Trying....to.....watch...TV!!! eye twitches Rini: )

"Maybe you should get a SKIRT!" Len shouted irritated, "That's what all girls wear to school dances...now lemme watch my TV." He tried to grab the remote but Rini was quick and grabbed it first.

"Hey! Give it to me now!" He said forcefully but Rini thought they were playing and she stuck her tounge out at him saying, "Nahhh....You have to Catch meeeee!" Then she ran away as Len jumped for the remote.

The next day((SATURDAY!! ))

(A/N: This is a phone talk and from now on the phone talks are not written like this since the last one was LONG! , )

Mai: Hello?

Yamu: Hey Mai!

Mai: Oh hey what's up Yamu?

Yamu: Ehh...well I feel sort of bad.

Mai: Why? What's wrong?

Yamu: Well...Atem asked me first to go to the school dance with him and I said I'd go with him, but then after school Jounouchi asked me to go to the school dance with him. When I told him I was going with someone else he looked so-o-o-o hurt! Poor Jounouchi!

Mai: Wow....had two guys after you...what's you secret?

Yamu: Mai!! (Yamu: , )

Mai: laughs I'm joking! Sheesh! No one can take a joke anymore. So what's the big deal? You told him the truth.

Yamu: Yeah....but....I feel guilty for turning him down.

Mai: Hmm....unless I go out with him!

Yamu: huh?

Mai: Then he'll lay off and you and Atem can have your peace at the school dance...sound good?

Yamu: Yeah...sounds good! Hey want to go shopping today for outfits for the school dance?

Mai: Well I got my outfit already yesterday. But I can help you look around for an outfit!

Yamu: cool! I'll ask Kokoro to come along too...she seemed upset yesterday.

Mai: Yeah....eating that green mashed potatoes! (Mai: XP gross!)

Yamu: I meant even BEFORE you guys stuffed the food in her mouth! (Yamu: uu)

Mai: Oh...ok! The more the merrier! See ya then ok?

Yamu: Bye!

At the nearest Slushy store

Kokoro had her head lying on top of the table face down and had a half-way empty pina colada flavored slushy in her hand while three other empty cups were all over the table. (And they weren't the small cups, they were super size.)

The guy at the cash register was starting to get worried because she had been there ever since from 10 o' clock this morning. "Uhh... little ma'am?" He asked poking her on the shoulder and she lifted her head to look up at him.

"Huh?" she said groggy. "Is that your last cup?" he asked now realized that she had only been asleep. "Uhh..." Kokoro said looking at her cup, "Yeah...I'm done for today." Then she paid him a 2,000 yen for the drinks and left the shop.

Just then her cell phone rang and she picked it up and muttered, "Hullo...?" "Hi Kokoro!" Yamu's voice came from the other line. "Oh...hullo Yamu-san." Kokoro said trying to sound normal, "What's up?"

(Phone talk)

Yamu: Hey! Atem asked me out to go to the school dance with him! So Mai, Rini, and I are going to the mall to pick out some outfits and clothes...wanna come?

Kokoro: Uhh...sure! Nothing better to do! I'll come along.

Yamu: Cool! Meet us at the mall around like two in the afternoon ok?

Kokoro: kk! Sounds cool! Meet ya there.

Yamu: Later!

(End of phone talk)

At The Motou's Residence

/I'm bored.../ Yuugi complained through the mind link with Atem. He was laying lazily on the couch as Atem was stuck in the basement doing the laundry.

Well...do YOU wash and dry the clothes instead?

/...no thanks! I like watching you wearing a pink frilly apron doing house chores!

(Atem: T,T# is wearing a pink frilly apron that says: CUTIE)

Why am I stuck doing all the work in this house on weekends?!!Atem pouted not realizing he added too much soap to the washer machine.

/well...Ojijan is right now cleaning the game shop...I'm watching cartoons! And someone HAS to do the work.../

...you know....even though you're my hikari...right now I'm giving you a mean look.

/Well...then that means your giving YOURSELF a mean look too!/

...Damnit...

(Yuugi: )

/Oh well! Tell you what I'll go call the guys and we'll chill at the mall...ok? I'll tell Ojijan to watch the laundry and you're already done with all the house cleaning alright?/

alright! Sounds good. I need to look for something anyway I want to look good for my date to the school dance.

/Oh! You have a date?? AND YOU DON'T TELL ME!!! I'm so unloved, so misunderstood, so unkindly brought up right! Oh! What cruel fate does a poor adolescent like me has to deal with in this cold forsaken wor-

Alright!!Atem snapped, Enough Drama class for you!! I'm glad school is almost over! So you can stop going to those drama classes you've been taking lately! You King of Drama!

/Usually I'm known as King of Games.../

(Atem: == Yuugi: doesn't get it)

/So who's going to be your da-/ Atem had closed the mind link leaving Yuugi in suspense while watching Teen Titians. "I'm so-o-o-o unloved!!" Yuugi said in his voice that he used when we was playing Romeo for the winter school play.

"Everybody ditches me! Oh! What a cursed poor little creature I am! What is a lost, unwanted, and helpless adolescent whose just dealing with hormones have to do to get his justice?!!"

"First, cut the crap!" Atem said as he came out of the basement holding all the dry clothes in a plastic basket. "Oh Atem!!" Yuugi said practically in tears hugging him, "Everybody neglects me so!!"

(Atem: == get off...)

Kokoro's House

"Hullo...?"

Silence.

"Niisama...?" Kokoro said softly then heard tapping and looked down to see her robotic hamster, Cinnimon walking around in its clear baby pink ball. (A/N: Yes! Spelled C-i-n-n-i-m-o-n! SIN-E-MON! , )

"Aww...Cinnimon!" Kokoro said smiling picking up her hamster out of its ball as it made its robotic squeaking. "Heh heh....you're so cute!" She started to pet it's head then put it gently back into its ball to walk around more. She grabbed her wallet, cell phone and keys to get back into the house.

Before she ran out the door she yelled to Cinnimon and (Maybe) Tatsuya inside the house. "Well see ya! I'll try to be back home soon!" Then she ran out the door.

At the mall

Mai, Rini, and Yamu were waiting out in the parking lot and just were talking. "So Mai I taking Jounouchi to the school dance so it won't get nasty at the school dance?" Rini asked. "Yep" Mai said, "I should call him now to ask him since Kokonut is taking such a long time...as always!"

"Yeah...the school dance is the day after tomorrow the sooner the better." Yamu said feeling once again guilty about reminded about how Jounouchi's face looked like when she turned him down. Mai dialed Jounouchi's house number while Yamu turned to Rini to talk to her.

"I still cannot believe Mahado is ACTUALY going to take you to the school dance!" She said chuckling a bit. "I know!" Rini said getting excited about the idea of going to the dance with her dream-man. "It's my dream come true! I can be in my Mahado-love's arms!"

(phone talk)

Shizuka: Hello...?

Mai: Hi Shizuka! Hey is your brother there?

Shizuka: Oh sure! I want to get him out his bed! He has locked his room and started playing his hard rock music on full blast. Hold on...

Background: Shizuka is screaming on top of her lungs that Mai, Rini, and Yamu can hear it loud and clear then depressing hard-rock music shuts off

(Mai: , Ow....I'm going to need to arrange an appointment will my doctor about my ears!)

Jounouchi: Hello..?

Mai: Hey Jounouchi-kun!

Jounouchi: Hm? Mai? Hey! Why are you calling?

Mai: Sheesh! Why can't I call? Anyway you wanna go hang out with me to that school dance?

Jounouchi: ....what??

Mai: Well....do you?

Jounouchi: Uhh....err...ok! I mean...I was going to take someone else...but she's taking someone else.

Mai: So...ok? We're set up for Monday's night for that school dance?

Jounouchi: Uhh...yeah...We are! See ya then!

Mai: Bye!

(End of phone talk)

"Finally!" Yamu-san said, "Kokoro is here!" "YAY!" Rini said cheering, "Kokonut is here!!" Kokoro smiled saying, "Hullo everybody..." Rini glomped Kokoro and her face was half a smile while the other half was sour-ish.

(A/N: Kokoro DOESN'T like glomps!)

"So what took you so long Kokonut?" Mai asked. Kokoro pulled out of her bag Cinnimon. "Aww!" Yamu squealed, "You brought along your robotic hamster?" "Heh heh...yeah! I thought she would be lonely because my brother isn't there so I brought her along!" Kokoro answered. "Alright! Now c'mon let's get started on shopping!" Mai said squealing in delight.
