Chapter 10

A deserted alleyway. A large multi-coloured orb appears. Several people fall from within.

"Ugh… where are we? What happened?" Mandy pulled out her compact and fixed her hair.

"Another wormhole!" said Seiya.

"Man, I was hoping that wouldn't happen… where are we?" Hyoga asked.

"Great minds think alike – I just asked the same thing!" simpered Mandy.

"Shut up, Mandy. We have to – "

"Who put you in charge?"

"No one, okay! I'm just trying to – "

"Take over! Yeah, I know you, Sam!"

"Mandy, would you just shut up!" Clover said.

"Stay out of this, wannabe!"

"What did you call me?"

"Wannabe! Wannabe!"

"Mandy shut up you moron! We're lost, remember!"

"Moron? Me? You…!"

"What? Me what?"

"Aargh! Shut up Slumentha!"

"What!"

"Yeah, good name, huh?"

"You little… arghh! I can't even say it!"

"Well, I know perfectly well what you are, and I'm not afraid to say it! You are a Know-It-All Teacher's Pet!"

Sam gasped and slapped Mandy. "How dare you!"

"Yeah! Not in our cartoon now! Allowed to speak freely now!"

"Mandy!"

"Oh, man! You are so – ha ha ha ha ha! Yeah! Feels good! No restraints!"

"Mandy…"

"Can't handle it, can you? Ha ha ha ha ha! Oh, and Clover… "

"Mandy!"

"What?"

"L-l-l-look behind you!"

Mandy whipped around and her "freedom high" wore off in an instant as she saw a tall, handsome stranger heading towards her. She fell backwards into a mud puddle.

Clover laughed. "Real graceful, Mandy!"

Mandy growled and stood up. "Do you even know how much this shirt cost!" she shrieked.

"Mandy, that's not the issue right now. Anyway, there are more important things than how you look!" said Sam, watching the approaching stranger.

"Oh, shut up!" Mandy bent, scooped up some mud, straightened and threw it at Sam, splattering all over her jumpsuit.

Sam slapped Mandy across the face for the second time in minutes.

Seto stalked out of the car.

"Seto! Wait!" Mokuba ran after him. Seto stopped to let his brother catch up, then turned away and walked on, now with measured strides calculated to allow his little brother to keep up. He breathed deeply, filling his lungs with the fresh morning air. He allowed his thoughts free reign in his mind. Inevitably, they turned to the people staying in his mansion. Seto gritted his teeth as he thought of how he had been woken. By the noise of those ingrates shrieking and laughing! Argh! They woke up even earlier than he did. And those stupid pets of theirs! That pudgy yellow one that growled at him whenever he went near it – ugh!

"Do you even know how much that shirt cost!"

"Mandy, that's not the issue right now. Anyway, there are more important things than how you look!"

Seto was jerked from his reverie by the angry high-pitched voices of a group of people up ahead. He could see the two that were arguing – a pouting black-haired girl, and a striking redhead. And then, the redhead struck.

"What the – ?" said Mokuba, coming up behind his brother.

"Oh, great, now Kaiba's involved! What a nice day… sucked into wormholes, meeting more stupid whiney mortals and now, Kaiba! That's wonderful! Tell me, Ishizu, if you knew this was going to happen, WHY DID YOU WAKE ME UP!" came the sarcastic voice of Marik.

"Oh, stop complaining, brother," said Ishizu distractedly, helping Seiya to his feet.

Seto scowled. "I have had enough if this…" he muttered, and turned on his heel.

"Hey, man, wait up!" came a voice.

Seto did not turn around, but did not walk away either. "Talk to me – you have ten seconds."

"Well, um, I was wondering if you, ah, knew of someplace where we could stay…?"

Seto turned and glared at the speaker, who was wearing a swan headdress. "And why exactly would I do this for you, swan-boy?"

"It's Hyoga!" yelled Hyoga, who had been melting under Kaiba's death glare until the words 'swan-boy' had reached his ears. Clover giggled. Mandy pouted. Sam rolled her eyes.

"Whatever." Seto turned to leave.

"No, wait," said Shun.

Seto turned around with exaggerated slowness. "Yes?"

Shun looked abashed, but carried on. "Please give us a place to stay. Or tell us where we can find a place to stay."

Mokuba looked from Shun to Seto, repeatedly. "Go on, Seto, let 'em stay. It won't make any difference."

Seto rolled him eyes and sighed. "Fine. Mokuba, take them home, I have an appointment." He turned and left.

Mokuba shrugged. "C'mon everyone."
