Author's note: I know some people are wondering about why Amelda didn't follow Varon, but the guys still have a full day ahead of them...and plenty of chances for trouble so there's plenty of time for Amelda to laugh at Varon :)

How Unlucky Can One Guy Be?
An hour had passed since the trio and Dartz dropped into the mall, but so far they hadn't crossed paths. "Where on Earth are those fools?"thought Dartz as he looked around all over "I'm supposed to be getting lots of funny and humiliating footage on film!". He tried to remember what their favorite stores were, but with so many stores around it made it even more confusing.
"Think...think!"muttered Dartz to himself as he looked around "Raphael loves junk so he could be in any of these stores, Varon likes junk food but he wasn't in the foodcourt, and Amelda...". Dartz honestly had no clue what Amelda liked so he closed his eyes and began to think hard. "If I were Amelda where would I hide?"said Dartz as he looked around "Banana Republic? Express? Victoria's Secret? I'VE GOT IT! He's at Hot Topic!". Dartz then grabbed his camcorder and ran as quickly as he could to Hot Topic, but on his way there he failed to notice Brookstone.
"Is there anything else I can interest you in today sir?"said the salesman who had been helping Raphael "Anything at all?". "No thanks"said Raphael as he headed over to the register "I think I'm set for right now". "Hmm...there must be something else I can sell him" thought the salesman as he looked around "I've got a family to feed!". Suddenly he spotted something, picked it up, and said "We've got some amazing new pillows!". At that point Raphael's arms were filled with all sorts of junk including a cd player, a mini digital camera, a back massager, a self heating pillow, a self cooling pillow, a flashlight shaped like a pen, a pen shaped like a flashlight, a hammock, and an alarm clock shaped like a panda. "What's so special about the pillows?"said Raphael "I've already got two of them right here". "They're scented pillows!"said the salesman "They come in any fragrance you want!". "Even roast beef?"said Raphael who was suddenly intrigued by the idea of scented pillows.
The salespeople already knew about Raphael and each time he attempted to go and pay, all they had to do was tell him about the newest product. He always ended up wanting it and he'd buy at least two or three of whatever it was they were offering.
"What do you think of these pants Tea?"said Yugi as he stood in front of a mirror "Do you think they make me look cool?". Yugi and Tea were at Hot Topic since it was the only place that carried the kind ofpants that Yugi and Yami favored. "They look alright"said Tea "But they're about four inches too long for you". "Well lets see what Yami thinks"said Yugi as he suddenly switched places with the pharoah. "Dear Ra!"said Yami as he groaned when he realized just how tight the pants were "I can't breathe in these!". Tea suddenly blushed like crazy and said "But they make you look great! You should by them! The tighter the better!".
Meanwhile on the other side of the store Amelda was busy also trying to look for some new pants. "Why the Hell are these pants so short?"growled Amelda as he held up a pair"Not everyone is under six feet tall!". Amelda was usually able to find at least one pair of pants, but on this particular day it seemed like he was out of luck. Suddenly out of the corner of his eye, Amelda spotted a strange looking belt with some silver studs all over it on the other side of the store. "That belt!" exclaimed Amelda "I've been wanting one just like it for months!". Amelda ran as quickly as he could towards the belt and grabbed it, but unfortunately someone else had grabbed it at the same moment.
"Hey I saw this belt first!"exclaimed Tea who had decided to look around while Yamichanged back into his own pants"So let go!". "You let go!"shouted Amelda as he tugged it harder "I've been wanting this belt for months!". They both began to desperately tug at the belt in an attempt to get it away from each other andneither one was determined to give up.
During this time though Dartz made his way into the store and saw what was going on, so he found a good hiding spot and began to film.
"Heh heh heh" chuckled Dartz as he hid behind a rack of clotheswith his camcorder in hand "Here we have Amelda and some girl fighting over a belt, he should know better than to fight with a woman over clothes". Dartz was determined to get every second of the fight on film since it was beginning to turn more and more violent. "LET GO OF IT!"screamed Tea as she reached over and stomped Amelda's foot "I want this belt!". "OWW!"shouted Amelda from the pain but even then he didn't let go "You're not getting this belt, especially now!".
"No matter who wins this is going to be hilarious" said Dartz as he followed every second of the action "Although if Amelda loses it'll be even more hilarious and pathetic"
"Ahh"sighed Yami as he walked out of the dressing room in his own clothes carrying a huge pile of pants "I guess these should do, but I'm certainly not getting that last pair". Yami completely failed to notice the fight between Tea and Amelda, so he walked right by and headed straight to the register. "Anything else I can get you?"asked the girl at the register who had blue hair, multiple piercings, and tattoos. "No just this" said Yami as he pulled out Yugi's credit card, paid for all the pants, and just as quickly made his way out of the store without Tea.
"Where the heck is Amelda?"shouted Varon who was hiding behind a trashcan "I've been to all the women's clothes stores and still no sign of him!". Varon has spent the past hour looking in every single women's store. Varon soon discovered that being a woman that day had certain advantages. For one thing Varon had finally been able to see what went on in the dressing rooms without getting kicked out. "Well if I can't find him in awhile then I guess I'll go check out the dressing room at Victoria's Secret" said Varon with a sneaky chuckle "That's one of the places I've always wanted to go my entire life".
"Hey baby!" suddenly said Duke Devlin as he walked up behind Varon "So what's a fine girl like you doing all by yourself?". Varon quickly stood up, looked around, and said "Are you talking to me?". Duke wore a sly grin on his face as he eyed Varon from head to toe, absolutely liking everything he saw. "There's something familiar about this girl"thought Duke whonoticed herresemblance to Varon"But she's hot! I gotta get her number". Varon suddenly remembered all the times he'd laughed at Amelda when the same happened to him, but he knew exactly how to handle Duke.
"Hey look over there!"said Varon as he pointed in a random direction "A girl's skirt just fell down!". "Where?"exclaimed Duke as he quickly turned around to look "I don't see any-". That was the last thing Duke said before Varon's fist slammed into his face and sent him flying straight to the ground. Duke obviously wasn't going to be too happy when he woke up since his cheek was already starting to turn purple.
"Heheheh! That'll teach him"laughed Varon as Duke lay unconscious on the ground "Although I can't blame him since I do look pretty good as a woman..WHAT AM I SAYING?". Varon quickly looked around but then he immediately noticed a familiar sight. "Holy crap!" said Varon as he just stared in amazement "Where the heck is he going to put all of that?"
"Okay the roast beef pillow is for me, the cupcake one is for Amelda, and the cotton candy one is for Varon" thought Raphael as he was carrying at least twenty bags in his arms "Or should I just keep them all for myself?". Raphael was too busy pondering what to do so he walked right by Varon without noticing him and he continued on to where the escalators were. He had found out from the people at Brookstone that the Home Shopping Network now hadits own store located at that very mall, so there was no way he was going to pass that up.
"Strange" thought Yami as he walked down an escalator "I have a feeling that I'm missing something..I guess it's nothing important". Yami was more concerned at that moment with finding some new platform boots to wear with his new pants since the ones at Hot Topic weren't tall enough for his taste.
"Oooh that girl certainly can kick!"said Dartz who was still filming the fight "Oh but it seems Amelda has no remorse about kicking her back!". At that point both Amelda and Tea's legs were badly bruised since they had resorted to childish kicking in an attempt to make the other let go. Before long Tea kicked him in the knee and knocked him right down but he was still holding the belt! "Why won't you let go?"shouted Tea "This belt wouldn't look good on you anyways!". "Well it wouldn't look good on you either!"said Amelda as he suddenly reached up and kicked her in the leg. At that point she fell down and landed directly on him...still holding the belt.
They lay there momentarily just staring at each other in complete shock, but then they both quickly snapped out of it.
"I gotta go!"blurted Tea whose face was now bright red as she let go of the belt and quickly scrambled to her feet and out the store. Amelda's face was also bright red so he also just dropped the beltand headed out of the store as quickly as he could. The situation had been completely unexpected, so but now Amelda was really confused. "Why the Hell did I blush like that?"thought Amelda as he ran "Damn this really isn't my day!"
"All that for a belt and in the end neither one took it?"said Dartz as he zoomed in on the belt before picking it up "I must say it is quite fetching". So in the end Dartz decided that he liked it enough to buy it so he went right over to the register. "These belts certainly are popular aren't they?"asked Dartz as he pulled out his wallet "They must be very rare". "Are you kidding me?"said the blue haired girl "There's an entire rack of them over there!". She was right since indeed there was at least ten more belts located right next to the dressing room. "So all of that was for nothing?"chuckled Dartz as he remembered the fight "But the memories will last a lifetime!".
