Rin was convinced that they had spent three days in that horrid store, even though the clocks around her begged to differ. But she refused to listen to the begging clocks of lies and stuck to her tragic story of how they all camped out in the wilderness after getting lost in a simple hike. Malik had grown mad as well; oh the poor Egyptian went insane! All he did was rant that Yami had robbed him of his money and swore revenge. He stalked Yami around the store, muttering things that just weren't in any language. Maybe he learned to speak bear? His madness didn't cease for women who worked there thought he was a flat-chest girl and tried to make him try on dresses. Rin had begged them to help her get out of the woods but they just shrieked things at her. Things that sounded like, 'you need makeup' or 'you'd look cute in this!' Indeed it was horrible!

Yami started to believe he had his own cooking show. He would pretend to be cooking things, looking into a camera that wasn't there. He had a special going on; Eggs for the Needy. The eggs, however, were really socks. People thought he wasn't right in the mind and tried playing along, but that would only anger him. He thought everyone was making fun of him and screamed that he and his God Cards would defeat their evil ways. Malik had given up on Yami and laid in the center of the store screaming that he was dead. Rin had found the two of them and convinced them that they were lost in the woods. Malik complained that he was hungry and Yami tried feeding him Wonder Bras.

Anzu had found them hiding in a clothes rack. They were trying to hunt down some food. Confused, embarrassed and scared Anzu decided to retreat before anymore damage was done. (Actually, they were thrown out but Anzu is in denial about that...) Now the four Teenaged superstars strutted like chickens to the other end of the mall to the ticket booth. Rin was enjoying a large Pepsi and Malik was chewing on a pretzel. All seemed to be well as Rin and Malik took their place following behind Yami and Anzu. Rin was sipping her over-sized 'Biggy Sippy' Pepsi annoying and loudly along side Malik who gnawed on the over-sized pretzel like a deformed crazed animal, ah yes everything was normal!

"When do you think Yami will come out and just give her...whatever he bought?" Rin said to Malik, never taking her eyes away from the two in front of her. Malik made a noise and shrugged a shoulder. The two of them sighed in unison and continued to watch a life-changing episode of a Soap Opera called: The Days of Anzu's life and the famous half Pharaoh half Jesus Man that was really the Half-Blood Prince.

"I dunno," Malik said at last, "maybe never. Maybe Yami is really gay and that was for himself." Rin laughed at this and Malik shot her a dull glare. "What? I was serious!" He scowled, putting a hand through his hair, looking irritated.

Rin raised a brow to this. Perhaps Yami was gay! Oh my god, they should have a serious study about this! Years from now, scientist will be sitting in their labs, papers and lab things all around them. They'll be sleep deprived over the simple question: Was Yami Gay? It'll become a World Dilemma. They won't be able to solve world hunger because they'll be fixed on that one question. Was he gay? And if he was, all his fans would think it was cool and soon everyone would become gay! Rin laughed to herself. No, she cackled. She let out a shrill cackle that the Phantom would be proud of! Malik, Yami and Anzu were staring at her as if she had three heads.

"Hey Yami, are you ga--" Rin was cut off as Malik shoved a piece of pretzel down her throat. She began to gag and hack and sadly dropped her soda as she held her neck. Malik, who was crimson in the face, glared at the poor girl. He was shouting in Egyptian at her, pounding her on the head. People began to stop and stare, wondering what on earth was going on. It was like a parade...only Rin was dying and it wasn't fun. Yami and Anzu gawked at them.

Malik noticed being stared at and roughly patted Rin on the back curving his eyes up with his would-be innocent grin. Rin, who had turned blue, gave Anzu a 'HELP-ME' look. But Anzu didn't help her, nope she didn't at all. And the award goes out to...ANZU! FOR IGNORING RIN AS SHE WAS DIYING! Hello, choking here! Malik patted Rin a little to hard and Rin swallowed the piece, feeling dizzy.

"You alright there Rin?" Yami asked gently, giving her a 'it'll be okay' grin. Gah, yeah yeah! You won't be saying that when you're magically locked in a room with Harvey Birdman...a few insane Yugioh fans and...That guy from Pokemon--Ash, was it? Ashtray...

"No, I'm dead." Rin snapped, glaring at him just because she could. Yami looked taken back and Rin felt guilty. Oh well, he needs to learn to take snappy replies from friends! Rin, filled with soda, suddenly felt hyper--which was weird because she usually only gets hyper off of water. No, it wasn't hyper it was like light-headed giddy-ish. Ohhhh caaaaanddaa, I'm a loser baby so why dontcha kiiiiiilll me!

"Hey Yami," Malik called in polite, yet taunting, voice. He broke the awkward silence between everyone with his magical voice of piggy power. POWER PUFF! "Lend me some money, I know you have some." The Blonde Egyptian, as Rin now called him, sent Yami a cocky look. Looking flustered, Yami gave a nervous grin. The poor Pharaoh looked like a boy who miss-spelled "kitty" in a spelling bee. And poor Anzu had to resist a swoon, for Yami looked adorable.

"Didn't you bring some money, Malik?" Anzu asked, glancing back at Malik and Rin. He gave her a dark look. "Uh, I guess I'll take that as a 'no'."

"I'd have some if Pharaoh Boy didn't steal mine!" Malik snipped, shooting Yami a glare. Yami's face turned crimson and he looked down at his feet, clearly either ashamed or looking for attention. And the votes are in! Yami...erm...whatever his last name is...IS GAY! YAY! Let us rejoice! And then that freakin lawn mower came back and ran her over. Really. It did. It came out of no where! Rin tried to run, oh yes she did, but it was just too magical and ran her over...like that one time she had that dream--eh, anyway.

Malik said Pharaoh. Rin wasn't suppose to know about...well, anything she saw/read back at home. Hmmm, how was she to go about this now? Should she pretend to take it as a joke or act confused? What would Jesus do?

"If Yami gets to be the Pharaoh then I get to be Moses!" Rin declared, pointing at Yami. "YAMI! LET MY PEOPLE GO! Or God shall smite thee!" And now to add the guilt! "You are a horrible man! You enslaved my people and forced them into slave-labor! You heartless, heartless, man!" Aaaaahhh, the guilty look of Yami...the snickering Malik and the rolling of the eyes from Anzu. And the cackle. WAIT! The cackle! That cackle wasn't Rin's! She froze, knowing only one other who could make such a lovely cackle beside the great and powerful Erik. Rin spun around. Yup, she was right. It was Bakura.

Cue the Mall music: I believe in miracles. Where you from you sexy thing, you sexy thing. I believe in miracles, since you came along, you sexy thing!

"Bakura!" Yami gasped in alarm, staring at the white haired boy with wide eyes. "I thought you weren't coming..."

"Well I'm here, aren't I?" Bakura sneered as he put a hand on his hip. Oh, he was looking very menacing today. Rin would have either flipped out, melted or froze if she wasn't already hyper. His brown eyes flickered over to the staring Rin, and for a moment he thought he knew her from somewhere. And then he wondered if she was shorter than Yugi.

Ah, something should be explained here. The reason both Yami and Bakura have their own bodies...you see, they had found a spell...but Bakura had to agree to stop randomly throwing people into the shadow realm if he wanted his own body, and thus he became less...murderous? Now that's a bloody shame.

Rin glanced around. "Hey Anzu? Who else is just going to randomly pop up? Why'd you invite him? Who's next? Is Erik coming? Will he pop up from the 1800s with a pack of gum? Is Jesus going to step out from behind the tree over there and greet us? Will I find Waldo? Will I?" These questions just sort of came pouring out of Rin's mouth like a waterfall.

"Oh yes, Rin! Erik is coming because he's madly in love with you!" Anzu replied sarcastically, turning around and marching away. Rin, Malik and Yami gapped. What brought that bad mood? And of course Erik is in love with Rin! Even a turtle could figure that out! Silly sane girl, Yami is for the insane! You know the word 'insane' is illegal now or something? INSANE INSANE INSANE! HAHAHAHA! (-Rin gets hauled off to jail-...oh, well! The story must go on!) Yami hurried off to follow Anzu.

"We should follow the yellow brick road now." Rin stated, staring after the two.

Bakura's dark eyes flashed over to Rin and Rin felt naked. Oh my god, who got her stripped? Why was she--is that confetti? Oh my god there was confetti in her pocket! CONFETTI! Rin turned to Bakura with a strange, cat-like, grin plastered to her face.

"Welcome, Bakura," she said in her best mystical voice, "TO OZ!" And then she threw the confetti at him. Small colorful bits of paper flew around him, covering his hair in it. Malik burst out laughing while Bakura cocked his head to the side staring at Rin with a confused and horrified stare.

"Where the hell did you get that?" Malik asked, doubling over in laughter. It really wasn't funny, he was just drunk. Rin shrugged lazily. Who knew? Perhaps Anzu stole these pants and went to a party somewhere. Rin was surprised when Bakura didn't try and murder her, now that was strange! He just ruffled his hair annoyed, trying to get the confetti out of it. Malik was on the floor having a seizer or something.

Without thinking Rin rose to her tip-toes and plucked a piece of confetti from Bakura's hair. Now mind you, his hair was soft. Rin had expected it to be hard and point--like a weapon or something. So she poked at it.

"Oh my god, it's soft! Behold Bakura's hair of softness!" Rin shrieked and Bakura swatted her hand away, glaring. Malik, after a few attempts to get back up, swayed over to Rin, causing her to crash to the ground with a 'KYAAAAAAA!'

"Bakura, this is Rin. But never fear, I think you'll get used to her." Malik replied, ignoring the fact Rin was clawing at his clothes to get herself back up.

"Explain yourself, Malik." Bakura said in his 'look, dude, I'm the bad guy' demanding voice. Rin wondered if Yami and Bakura talked the same way as they dueled. What if they were playing gold fish? Would they still talk all...weirdish?

-In Rin's mind.-

"Hahahahaha. Tell me, Pharaoh...are you prepared?" Bakura asked dangerously, his brown eyes flickering with mischief. He smirked widley, glancing down at his cards.

"Bakura! Just go, stop wasting time!" Yami roared in his heroish Jesusish voice. Lightning crackled. Bakura threw his head back and laughed evilly.

"Very well! Do you have...any threes?"

"Go fish!" Yami declared, pointing over dramatically. Bakura scowled, and gave a soft growl of defeat.

"You have stopped me this time, Pharaoh...but next time you won't be so lucky..." Bakura snapped, drawing a card from the pile. He smirked, plotting.

"Bakura, what are you planning! Your evil ways will never win! My friends might not be here, but in my heart they are! Do you have any sevens?"

"Gah! You have foiled my plans! No matter, this won't stop me." Bakura laughed again. Yami growled.

"Just hand me the card..." Yami replied. Bakura rolled his eyes and dramatically tossed the card at Yami. Yami caught it.

-Back to 'reality'-

"I see what you mean..." Bakura replied after hearing Malik's tale of the insane Rin. Malik rolled his eyes at the girl, elbowing her. Rin yelped and rubbed her side, giving Malik a glare. Malik only laughed at her and she whacked him with her inch-longer-than-her-arm sleeve. In no time they got into a poking fight. Bakura cocked an eyebrow. He was now doubting that coming was a good idea. Anzu jerked her head around to glare at the two.

"If you guys don't stop fighting then I'm taking you to another store!" She threatened not noticing Yami wince. Bakura glared at her and crossed his arms.

"If you have not noticed, I am not the one acting like a fool." He said coldly, staring pointedly at Malik.

"Rin started it." Malik replied, pointing.

"Well...'Kura is in denial! Oh yeah, he's the insane one! He's getting all drunk and stuff, you should have seen the party he threw. His sexy parties..." Rin said as if making an important point. Bakura growled at her.

"What did you call me?" Bakura snapped, looming over Rin with a very menacing look. Malik stepped aside to leave Rin against the wrath of Bakura. Hell, Malik wasn't stupid. They were both insane! Bakura would cackle even if he was on fire and Rin...well, she was just short.

"I called you 'Kura." Rin said timidly, hoping to find somewhere around getting beaten up. "Hey, hey, hey! I called you Kuuuuuraaaaa!" Maybe if she added a song and dance he'll not kill her? His eyes glittered for a moment and then...he smirked.

"Very well then, Christine." Oooh. Low blow. That jerk! Rin sent Bakura her best glare, which was a really sucky glare. Rin couldn't glare when she was still in her hyper mode, and only Kyu could glare right! He called her that horrid name. The name of the woman that made Erik cry over and over again. Sure, she showed him compassion but she also broke his heart into tiny pieces...How'd he know to call her that anyway? IT DOESN'T MATTER!

"You bastard!" Rin growled, flapping her arms about. Bakura or not, nobody ever shoots her that low. So, doing the smart thing, Rin pounced attacked him. If you haven't noticed, Rin isn't a very logical person. Bakura, being nearly a foot taller than her, was not going to be damaged by her pounce attack. Though, it did surprise him and down the two went. "Ugh, someone remind me never to do that again..." replied Rin's muffled voice. Her face was buried into Bakura's chest. If it were any other moment, she would be blushing.

"Christine! I never knew you felt this way towards me." Bakura said smugly. He smirked and her head flew up. She glared at him in the eye.

"Well Kura, there's a lot that you don't know about me!" Rin replied coolly as Malik offered a hand. She took it, kicking Bakura as she got up. Bakura, hosting himself up on his elbows, sent her a glare. Anzu, who had gone somewhere, came back and blinked at the scene before her.

"Bakura called her Christine," Malik said with a smirk. Anzu burst out laughing, which surprised all three of them. They stared at her wide-eyed for a moment. Rin wished she could dig a hole and burry Bakura in it. Yami was the only one who just didn't get it.

"Rin, why does it upset you when he calls you by the name of Christine?" Yami asked, looking puzzled. He was the ice to tip the boat. Rin exploded. She whirled around, glaring at him.

"My god, how stupid can you be! Do you not even know what I've been shrieking about this whole time? Are you that pathetic that you don't even know who Christine is? EVEN BAKURA KNOWS!--" Bakura sent Rin a glare. "--CHRISTINE! FROM THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA YOU FUCKING RETARD! I DON'T CARE EVEN IF YOU ARE 5,000 YEARS OLD THAT IS NO EXCUSE TO NOT KNOW WHO CHRISTINE IS! I COULD KILL YOU YOU FREAKING HERO I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DON'T KNOW WHY CHRISTINE--" By this time, Malik and Bakura were inching away from her. "--IS SUCH AN INSULT! SHE BROKE HIS HEART, YOU FEEK! YOU INSULT ME WITH YOUR LACK OF UNDERSTANDING--"

"I've got the tickets!" Anzu said warmly, as if nothing was going on. Rin's eyes suddenly brightened.

"YAY! Candy!" She cried happily as if she hadn't been yelling.

This is when Malik and Bakura noticed that they were standing in front of the ticket booth. They wondered how they got there, but didn't have time to question Anzu's magical abilities. Rin had grabbed both their wrists and flung them into the next room, which was the snack room for the movie. It was a lovely room, actually. The walls were yellow with bubbles on them, there were movie posters and rows and rows and piles of candy! And there was popcorn--but CANDY! It's candy land! Rin had left the two to prance about the room.

"Maaaaaaalik! Buy me candy!" Rin cooed, prancing back over to her blonde friend. Malik scowled at her.

"Yami stole all my money, remember?" He snapped getting an amused look from Bakura who just became interested in the conversation. Rin glared and pranced off to her beloved candy that loved her for her and not her sweet tooth.

"The Pharaoh stole money from you? Have my ears deceived me?" Bakura asked smugly. Malik sighed in annoyance.

"Should I repeat myself?"

"Guys, you shouldn't fight." Anzu barked, crossing her arms as she...popped out of no where. Again with her magical ways of popping out of no where! She had just convinced Yami that Rin was just short and that's how short people deal with their anger. Yami didn't seem convinced and had wandered off to find Rin. Anzu turned around to find Rin hugging the life out of Yami.

"I guess we should figure out where to burry Yami..." Malik trailed off as Rin suddenly came prancing over with a bag filled with candy. Yami was holding some sodas and the popcorn. Anzu sighed and offered to help him hold a few sodas before the spilled. Malik eyed Rin. "Did he buy that with my money?"

"He bought it with GOD's money! Yaaay, candy!" Rin said, tossing a few pieces of candy up into the air. Malik understood this to be a 'yes' and glared at Yami. Yami gave him a 'she'd kill me if I didn't buy it' look. Sighing Malik snatched a handful of candy from Rin and shoved it in his pocket. Bakura was eyeing the girl, either he was horrified or amused, Malik just couldn't tell.
