"Malik. Um, hi. This is Yugi. I was wondering if you wanted to meet me at the park. this Saturday? You know, near sunset or whatever. I was thinking we don't spend enough time hanging out. I mean, it's not like we're enemies anymore, is it? Didn't think so. So. you wanna?"

BEEP.

"Hi, Malik. This is Bakura. I." "Who is it, Baku-chan?" "Nobody, hikari. Go away." "But who iiiiiis iiiiiiiit?" "I said nobody, Ryou, dammit, now go away!" "Awww, Kura." "Uhhh. Aw, man. Ryou, don't cry! Stop being such a sniveling wimp! Ryou!" "Waaah!" "Oh, geez, Malik, I'll call you back, 'kay? 'Kay. Bye."

BEEP.

"Malik, this is Seto Kaiba. Tell your sister that I have no intention of returning to her the Obelisk. Oh, here, let me dumb it down for you: I WON'T GIVE HER BACK THE CARD. Okay, just to get that straight. Now, I'm a busy man, so bye."

BEEP.

"Hi Malik, this is Mokuba. I apologize for my older brother's rude behavior." "Mokuba, give me the phone!" "He's really not such a bad guy." "Mokuba, give it to me!" "No!" "Give it! NOW!" "Make me!" "Fine!" "Aaaah!" BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEP (dial tone, not cussing)

BEEP.

"Hi, uh, Malik. I just wanted to say, uh. I'm not in Las Vegas, and I'm not gambling money and playing strip poker. Really. I'm not. Really. So. I love you younger brother bye!" BEEP.

Malik blinked. That last message is the most disturbing. So far, all the messages showed this: Yugi liked him and was gay and wanted to date him, Ryou was a crybaby and Bakura had a soft spot for him, Seto was an asshole, Mokuba was a lying asshole, and Isis was some type of gambling stripper.

Oh yeah. It was gonna be a weird day.
