Elle: OMG! It worked! I swear I almost died when I saw my story on I did this funny lookin' dance (my dad asked me if I was o.k. --') & called everyone I know who likes (which was maybe 2 people --'). We went out to eat that weekend. It was…weird. --' I need a boyfriend. :(
Bakura: Psh. You ain't kidding.
Elle: Heh heh heh. Just wait. You keep forgetting that I control this story! Muahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Bakura & Ryou: Sweatdrop
Elle: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! If I did Yugi & Tea would be shipped off to Iraq to give soldiers friendship speeches & Ryou would be tied up in my closet!
Ryou: sweatdrops Ehe heh heh.

Ryou: Uh… --' on with the story!
Chapter Two: Fairy Princess
Bakura sat on his bed. There is no way. There is no way in Ra I am going out there looking like this. He crossed his arms. A soft knock fell upon his ears, but he dared not move. "Bakura? Are you almost ready?" Ryou asked. "I am not going anywhere dressed like this!" I stated clearly. I could feel the warmth of his smile through the door, even though I could not see him. "It could be far worse you know. Besides, I made sure to get a costume similar to yours, so it can't be that bad. Come on out and I'll show you what Malik has to wear!" Ryou said happily. I sat there for a few minutes before deciding that Hikari was right. This costume wasn't as bad as the other few I had tried on and if he was wearing something similar, then I guessed I wouldn't feel so bad about it. I still didn't like it though. Sighing, I got off the bed and walked to the door and opened it up. Ryou was, as he had promised, standing in the doorway with a costume similar to mine. He was wearing a pale blue vest with a white shirt on underneath and pale blue pants. He also had pale blue wings with white tips strapped to his back and white tennis on. I, on the other hand, was wearing a blood red vest with a black shirt underneath and blood red pants. My wings were more gothic than his; red with black tips and I wore my black tennis. He had a look on his face that said he approved. "Come on!" He said cheerily as he grabbed my arm and dragged me half way down the hall and into the living room. "Slow down Hika-." I was cut off by the sight in the living room. I laughed out loud and Malik furrowed his eyebrows. Ryou, who also couldn't control himself, laughed with me. Malik was standing there with a soft pink dress, blonde wig, a golden crown on his head, and white tennis shoes. "And-hahaha-who are you-hahaha-supposed to be!" I said through laughter and tears. "Hmph!" was all Malik could say, his face as red as it could be. "He's supposed to be Aurora, the princess from sleeping beauty! And I'm Prince Phillip!" Marik said triumphantly. He was wearing black gothic pants, a purple shirt, a silver belt with a sword attached, and a crown on his head. I blinked twice. "I don't see a difference." I said. "That's because he wears his costume all year round." Malik stated. Marik just smirked back. "Heh heh heh. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're the one wearing the dress, not me." Malik growled at him, but Marik smiled innocently (A.N. Is that possible! ;) and grabbed a shield that had been sitting on the kitchen table and slung it onto his back. "Let's get goin'. We're supposed to meet Yugi and the gang in half an hour so we'd better get started." Marik stated. "Why do we have to go with that stupid pharaoh and his stupid Hikari?" Malik whined. "Because he invited us." Marik stated plainly. "And because I wanna see what their costume's looks like." Ryou said.

We all left in unison. I locked the door behind us, tucked the key away in my back pocket, whirled around, and followed my Yami down the stairs. I stifled my giggle with my hands. Bakura crossed his arms and huffed. (B: I can NOT believe I'm doing this!) I smiled brightly in his direction. (B: And they say I'M the evil one!) I giggled again, earning raised eyebrows from 'Princess Aurora'. All I could do was laugh harder. Marik soon joined me, leaning on my shoulder for support. "Laugh while you still can, because I am sooooooo gonna get you two for this!" Malik shouted angrily. His face was red with anger. We laughed even more, this time Bakura joined us. "Heh heh heh. You make a very interesting princess, Malik. You'd better watch yourself or the pharaoh may very well fall for you!" Bakura said through his laughter. It was good to see Bakura laugh. He also seemed to be acting a little more like himself. I frowned , remembering that just earlier today he had barely said much of anything to me or his good friend Malik. (R: Bakura?) Bakura slowed his pace until he was next to me. (B: Hn? What is it Ryou?) I looked down nervously. I really wanted to know what had been bothering him so much. (R: …if I just ask him he'll probably get mad at me. I mean, I think he's still mad at me from last week. I don't wanna invade his privacy either…) (B: Last week was last week. Let's drop that, o.k.? Now stop babbling and just ask me already!) I blushed slightly and lowered my head all the way so that my head was facing the ground completely and no one, especially Bakura, could see my embarrassment. (R: Ba…Bakura, I'm so sorry. I had honestly forgotten about the link being-) (B: Ryou, what's bothering you so much? If it's the outfit, don't worry about it. As long as Malik looks more embarrassing than me then it's fine.) I looked up and smiled at him. (R: You sure Bakura?) (B: Psh! 'course I'm sure! Just look at him!) I smiled and fought back the urge to laugh. (R: Thanks Yami, you're the best!) Bakura picked up his pace a little and whistled in Malik's direction. "That is so not funny Bakura!" Malik practically yelled. "Are you kidding! A pretty lookin' woman like you deserves to be gawked (A.N. O.o That doesn't look right…is it really spelled that way! X.X) at!" Bakura said smirking. Malik huffed, turning red with anger. "WHY YOU!" He replied. Marik stopped and waited for me to catch up with him, allowing the Yami's to take the lead. "I swear they must have been brothers in the past! Just look at them! If that isn't sibling rivalry, I honestly don't know what is!" "You have a point." I replied. "Do you know what time we're supposed to meet Yugi and the others at the Game Shop?" I asked Marik. Bakura and Malik froze suddenly without warning, and Marik and I ran right into them.
----XXXX----
"There is no way in hell I'm going to the Pharaoh's house!" I spat. 'Are they crazy! This is the pharaoh we're talkin' about here! If the pharaoh sees us like this we'll never live it down!' "Well, we were invited so we are going. If you two wanna go back home and live with the humiliation of A-Not showing up and B-Passing up the perfect opportunity to get free candy, then be my guest." "You do realize that the pharaoh is our sworn enemy and that someday the two of us WILL be victorious in killing him, right?" Malik stated. "Right. And we're with you all the way, right Ryou?" He said as he put an arm on Ryou's shoulder. "Uh…" Hikari started. "But that is definitely not gonna happen tonight with all of the trick-or-treaters; so instead we will watch the mighty pharaoh being reduced to Tea's ragdoll! Muahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" Marik stated loudly. Ryou raised his eyebrows at him quizzically. "What? I couldn't help it!" he retorted. Ryou sighed heavily. "Let's just get going, o.k.?" Marik nodded and grinned from ear to ear, as if knowing some god-awful secret that no one else knew. I decided to forget about the dream for now. There would be plenty of time to figure it out later, and I could see how it was worrying Ryou.
We finally arrived at the Game Shop. Ryou knocked on the double doors and Yugi opened the door, peeking outside. He smiled at us and opened the door wide. He was standing in the doorway wearing a black Tuxedo Mask costume from the ever popular Sailor Moon series; he even had a top hat and a fresh red rose in his hand. Malik and I snorted, while Ryou and Marik commented him on his replication. "You guys look awesome too!" Yugi was saying, "Ya'll did pairings too I see! Me and Yami did that too! Come see come see!" He said, grabbing the two Hikari and gently pulling them inside. Malik and I looked at each other swiftly before entering the house and shutting the door. We followed the three upstairs. The four of us, unable to control ourselves, erupted with laughter at the sight before us. There stood our 'great and mighty pharaoh' in a white blouse and a rainbow-ish skirt, complete with tiara, scepter, mini wings, white tennis, and a fake diamond necklace. Inbetween my laughter I spoke to him. "Where're your high heels!" The pharaoh gave me a dirty look, as if to say 'shut the hell up'. I continued to laugh. Just then the doorbell rang. "Coming!" Yugi yelled as he ran down the stairs. (B: Thank you, Hikari. I needed that. ) he smiled brightly (R: Anytime!) Just then streaks of red and blue flew past us and knocked 'Sailor Moon' onto the floor. "Ah!" Yami shouted. "Oh! You look so good in the outfit I made for you, Yami!" Tea expressed joyfully. I made a gagging noise and Malik and the two Hikari giggled. Tea was wearing a red and blue cheerleading uniform; complete with disgustingly short miniskirt, pompoms, and a picture of Yami in the front. "Hey, what'd I miss?" Tristan asked. Tristan was wearing a knee-length loincloth and a club rested on his shoulders. "What in Ra are you supposed to be!" Malik blurted out. "A lovely caveman for the lovely ladies!" he acknowledged proudly. Just then a young woman that I didn't recognize began to giggle lightly. She had an almost white-ish blue dress that hit the ground but had slits on either side; featuring a scepter, tiara, and see-through shoes. Her ginger-colored hair was pulled back and her green eyes shimmered with tears from all of the laughter. Ryou walked up to her, his cheeks red from laughter also and tried to calm them both down.

I walked up to Serenity, still laughing and being slightly pushed by Marik. She smiled and looked up at me and I blushed instantly. "The only thing he's gonna catch with that is a cold!" She told me. We laughed in unison and it felt good. "Hey sis. What happened?" Joey said as he entered. He looked up and glanced at Tristan. He instantly hit the floor laughing saying "Dude, You chose to wear that!" Tristan frowned. "Oh yeah! And just who the hell are you supposed to be with your top hat and whip !" "He is Indiana Jones and I am the Ice Queen of Narnia!" Serenity spoke happily. "Yeah, I let Serenity pick out my outfit, maybe you should do the same!" Joey said as he busted out laughing. "Hey!" Tristan retaliated. "Hey, I thought it was a witch not a queen." Marik whispered to me. "Shhh! Leave her alone!" I retorted. Serenity walked up to us both. "I like your costume Marik! And I really like yours, Ryou. It makes you look…like an angel." She said to us. I blushed darker but she didn't seem to notice, nor did my Yami or Joey. "Let's get going everyone!" Yugi shouted. I smiled and followed Marik and Serenity down the stairs and out the door, thankful for the distraction.

As predicted, Malik and I walked more in solitary behind the group where we had a good view of Tea literally dragging the pharaoh down the street. "You know, he makes this dress look like gold compared to that miniskirt!" Malik stated. We both laughed a little, thankful that the pharaoh looked more embarrassing than us, but also because that girl had brought a camera with her and was making it her life's mission to takes millions of incriminating pictures and promised everyone copies, including Ryou. Heh heh heh. Pharaoh, you're goin' down! Seto Kaiba approached the join with Mokuba in the lead. Kaiba was wearing black vampire attire with fangs and Mokuba looked like some sort of slayer, with an assortment of crossed, bottled water marked with crosses, stakes, and fake garlic around his neck. "Hey guys!" The pharaoh's Hikari stated cheerfully. Kaiba huffed and kept walking. "Hi Yugi!" Mokuba said. "You guys look cool! But, Yami, Tristan, did you guys lose a bet or something?" "NO!" Tristan stated. "I wish." The pharaoh said as he sweatdropped. "Well, gotta jet. So many houses so little time!" Mokuba stated happily as he ran next to his brother and they continued on down the street. I looked over to see Ryou standing a little distance away from the group, with that new girl to his left and Marik to his right. They seemed to be talking, laughing, and generally enjoying each other, so I let them be and turned my attention to Sailor Moon. "This has gotta be in my top five most embarrassing moments of the pharaoh." I said to Malik. "Oh really? What's number one?" He asked. I smirked. "Paint ball."

Elle: That chappie was fun! Well, just so you guys know, I wanted to get some humor into it to lighten it up a bit before it gets deep. I promise there will still be humor (because well can you technically can't have a completely serious Bakura that would be like having a completely sane Malik! ) but not as much. And I really had fun humiliating the pharaoh! It's just something that I can picture happening to him.
To The Reviewers!
Wildace keladry2005: You are my first review! Yay! Does a dance, earning funny looks --' I am so glad somebody likes it! I hope you like this chappie too!
Kim-Ishtar: Hey! I am soooooooooooooooo glad you liked it! I tried exceptionally hard to keep Malik's slight insanity but keep Marik's humor. B-c…well…I always pictured it that way:D I hope you liked this chapter. I really played with Marik's humorous side in this chappie. I think he was a cuter prince than Malik was a princess. But Ryou was kawaii and Bakura was definitely hot!
