Hey who watched the premiere of the new yu-gi-oh season on kids wb on Saturday? Everyone reading this raises their hands: duh, we're just as obsessed with yugioh as you are!
And hey, did you see how HOT Kaiba looked in his white suit! hugs Kaiba plushies And he looks so skinny in it! And then they changed Mokey's voice! THEY CAN'T DO THAT! I mean, it is the last season and they want to suddenly change it! And he talks like he's a totally different person! He sounds less cute! I say we storm the 4Kids HQ with our pitchforks and torches in hand and demand that they change his voice back!
Ahem….anyway, what's the name of the German dude? I couldn't understand what he said his name was…not good at understanding accents. And is it just me or are all the duelists participating in the tournament a little odd(aka 'Viv' calling Seto, Kaiba-poo…man, she makes us fangirls look bad, I mean if she were a true fangirl she'd call him Seto right? Duh!), anyways, if I were Kaiba I'd be like: where the heck are they digging these idiots up from? What's the world coming to if they're the best duelists we have….but anyways I think it's trying to make a statement that people who play duel monsters and watch yugioh are a bit insane. The sad truth is that most of us are….AND WE'RE PROUD OF IT! everyone cheers
And it sounds like the German dude is after Kaiba more or less…man, Kaiba's got a bunch of enemies. But who would be an enemy of Kaiba-kun? looks around…oh yeah, the care bears anyways….
Are they combining Kaiba Corp Grand Prix(as I think it's called in Japan) with the Ancient Egypt arc? They better be because they can't just cut out the last season with the pharaoh finally discovering his past…but either way, it's still the last season begins to sniff…then sob…then cry…then wail uncontrollably and squeeze Kaiba plushies I'll be ok…
Wow, what a bunch of aimless rantings! How fun! And now what you've all been waiting for…
…the disclaimer! Yeah right. I don't own yu-gi-oh or the care bears.
And now REALLY what you've been waiting for…
Nobody Cares Like a Bear
By Eveilly Autumns
Chapter 9: Mayhem at school part I
NOTES: this is what I made Kaiba's schedule be and no, I don't have any idea if it's accurate.
1st period: Language Arts
2nd period: Math (perhaps Calculus)
Lunch
3rd period: PE (well it is required…)
4th period: World History
5th period: Some computer class (like he needs it, he could teach it…)
6th period: Chemistry
Ok without any more interruptions….
It was language arts. Seto Kaiba sat at his desk, thinking to himself about how much better stuff he could be doing at the moment, like working on building more Kaibalands. He wasn't really listening to the teacher, after all, did grammar really matter when running a company? The answer naturally is no, and in fact grammar matters 0 in life because even if you're a writer you can just get an editor to fix it for you.
But the teacher had barely gone 5 minutes into the lesson when she went: "Oh my gosh, I forgot about the play! We're supposed to watch Mrs. Morris's class perform their play right now! We're going to be late, come students!" she said and ushered everyone out the door. Kaiba thought to himself: this is high school right? And some class is still doing a play? Give me a break. Poor Seto, he never gets a break does he….
And he wasn't going to get one today for the care bears and care bear cousins were roaming the empty halls of the school, being careful not to be seen. They knew that eventually they'd have to split up but for now they decided to travel together. Their goal was to find a way to get Yugi out of class and alone so they could ask his help. And they were not gonna try the fire alarm scheme again.
"How are we gonna get him out of class?" asked Cheer bear quietly as they crept along the floor.
"I'm not sure but—" Tenderheart didn't have a chance to finish as he heard footsteps coming their way. "We have to hide!" he whispered as loudly as possible and they all looked around for a place to conceal themselves. Of course it was no problem for them after getting so much practice of hide and seek at the Kaiba mansion, and so it was just a few seconds before they spotted some boxes.
The boxes were overflowing with odd items and fabrics….and there were a lot of boxes. Tenderheart ran over to one and jumped inside, quickly concealing himself. The others mimicked him and since they were small and the boxes were huge they were able to fit in them before the people came around the corner. The people of course, were Mrs. Morris's class—picking up their boxes of props and costumes and taking it to the auditorium. "Quickly students! We're already late!" Mrs. Morris urged and everyone picked up the boxes and carried them away. It was showtime.
Domino High Auditorium
Meanwhile, Kaiba and his class were at the Domino auditorium, waiting for Mrs. Morris's class to arrive. Kaiba didn't like having to waste his time like that; I mean, don't you think the actual performers should have been on time? Luckily, it was only a few minutes before Mrs. Morris's class shuffled into the theater with all of their prop and costume boxes in hand. About time, Kaiba thought.
As the students carried their things backstage the care bears and care bear cousins began to grow more frantic. How could they escape without being noticed? It wasn't long before the students had reached their destination and placed their boxes on the floor. They were about to begin shredding through them when a kid shouted out: "Hey, there's no scenery!" All the others stopped in their tracks and looked around.
"I thought the janitors were supposed to bring the scenery down here!" Mrs. Morris screeched. "Good for nothing janitors! Let's go kids!" she yelled and began sprinting down the hallway despite being quite overweight, she was fast.
Once all the kids had left the backstage area, the care bears and their cousins were free to emerge. "Where are we?" Braveheart asked.
"I think we're in the back of a stage!" Brightheart said, spotting the curtains.
"Backstage?" Good Luck bear asked, "You mean those kids were about to perform a play?"
"They must have been, look at all these costumes and props!" Sunshine said.
"Well, they'll be back soon," Tenderheart began, " and we need to be gone before they get back—there's plenty of places to hide back here!" And indeed, Mrs. Morris's class wasn't the only class that used the stage area; in fact, many theater classes had their props, costumes, and scenery backstage. But the care bears 'n' cousins knew that they couldn't just hide if they wanted to get anything done. They had to take action.
"Wow, there's so many people out there Tugs!" Baby Hugs said as she and Tugs pulled the curtain back to look.
"Baby Hugs and Tugs, get back in here!" Grumpy bear said as he pulled them out. "Do you want them to see us? It'd cause an uproar and—"
"That's it!" said Braveheart. "If we cause an uproar we'll be able to pull Yugi aside to talk to him!"
"But we can't let them see us," Proudheart pointed out.
"True," Tenderheart began, "But we don't have to let them see us. We can still cause a commotion without being seen. And I hate to do it but…we'll just have to knock over scenery or something…just enough for people to rush up to the stage and see what's going on." Tenderheart knew it wasn't the best of plans, and so did everyone else. But it was the only thing they could think of in the short amount of time provided. After all, thought Tenderheart as they hid behind more boxes and the kids returned with the scenery, it's our only hope if we want to help our good friend Seto.
By now Seto was getting quite tired of sitting there and waiting, especially since the chairs weren't that comfortable. If he knew he'd be waiting this long he'd have brought his laptop with him. He was sitting in the front row because the teachers always left the best seat for him since they didn't want him to complain. Idiots, Kaiba thought to himself, don't they realize I hate theater no matter where I sit?
"Ladies and Gentlemen!" Mrs. Morris came on stage and introduced the play. After all, she had worked for months perfecting it. "I'd like to welcome you all to my classes humble play of Dr. Pickle and Mrs. Clyde: Hawaiian Style. It's a play the students wrote themselves based off of the popular novel Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which we read in class. I'm sorry for the delay but now, without further ado, let the show begin!" Too bad poor Mrs. Morris didn't realize that by her saying "Let the show begin" it was also the que for the mayhem to begin.
What the hell kind of play is this? thought Kaiba. Wait, I know, a huge waste of my time and time is money so it's a huge waste of my money too. Where'd those morons even come up with a play like this….this school must be more pathetic than I thought. Maybe I should switch Mokuba to a private high school when he gets older…
And then the play began. It was more than a bit strange. It was basically Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde on a Hawaiian island. But Dr. Jekyll was changed to Dr. Pickle and when he transformed (by drinking a coconut milk potion) he became not Mr. Hyde, but a girl called Mrs. Clyde. Yes, it was odd but Mrs. Morris and her classes had worked hard on it. And Mrs. Morris had a secret desire to become famous because of it…well, famous at the school at least. For though the play looked bad on paper, she wanted it to go down in Domino High history as the play that was so good you'd have to see it to believe it.
The play started out normal (as normal as it could be) and went on like that for about ten minutes. Already, the audience was bored. Kaiba had managed to tune out the play and go over his stock reports in his head instead. Yugi and Tea were trying to watch the play as best he could but it was tough; Joey was snoring loudly so Tristen had to jab him in the ribs, Bakura (who was sitting next to Joey on one side) was oblivious to the whole thing, and Duke was just playing with those simply awesome dice earrings of his. The rest of the audience was acting similar. Mrs. Morris grew worried…but her worries were just beginning as the care bears had spent the ten minutes chatting amongst themselves about what their plan should be…
They decided it would be easier for them to get to Yugi without being seen in the dark so Brightheart agreed to run to the lighting booth (which was not being used since the play was not important enough) and turn the lights lower. Meanwhile, the others would try to cause some distractions around the stage area so they'd either make a commotion and be able to get to Yugi in the confusion, or they'd get to the point where the show was canceled and everyone would leave and maybe they could get to Yugi while everyone else rushed to the exits. Either way, it was time for action.
Kaiba had finished going over his stock reports by now; he had moved onto designs for the French Kaibaland and then…
The lights started dimming.
The Lighting Booth
"Uh-oh, I didn't know there'd be so many buttons…" Brightheart was looking for the switch that turned the lights completely off but he had just hit the dimmer. "There are hundreds of switches here…I guess I'll have to go through them all…" Brightheart whispered and pushed another one. It sent lights bouncing off the audience and stage like a disco ball would. Brightheart tried to turn it off but he wasn't sure how.
What the heck now? Kaiba wondered, annoyed. Don't tell me they're gonna start disco dancing on top of everything else.
"What's going on?" one of the kids in the play asked.
"I dunno," said another, "But didn't Mrs. Morris tell us that if we didn't know what to do we should improvise?"
"Yeah! So I guess we'll just make up something…" And so the kids sang a song like they were supposed to but started doing a disco style/conga line combo in the middle of it. The audience actually began to watch.
Backstage the care bears 'n' cousins had split up and were looking for any distractions they could find. But they were having a hard time finding any at all; the lights were still dimmed.
Sherry bear was feeling her way around like the others. They could see the things in front of them but not on the floor… "Ouch!" Sherry fell over a cord that led up to the stereo…which she fell right against. The stereo wasn't being used; Mrs. Morris played the piano as accompaniment for the songs. But as Sherry bumped against the stereo it turned on…and began playing phantom of the opera music.
All the kids on the stage stopped doing their disco/conga line combo as the phantom music came on. Mrs. Morris looked around. Where was it coming from? It was so loud it was drowning out her piano music and she had to quit. At the same time a care bear cousin tripped over another cord. Gentleheart it was, and she fell against a smoke making machine.
Instantly smoke began rising from the corner of the stage. And it was on full blast. This wasn't one of those smoke machines that created a tiny amount; this was a heavy duty best you can get super expensive professional smoke machine. And it did its job. Within a minute the entire staged was engulfed in a layer of gray fog. The kids began to cough. But at least it fit well with the music.
The kids moved forward on the stage so they could be seen more easily and then they began to improvise some more. They ran around in random circles and sang "The phantom of the opera" over and over since it was the only line of the song they knew. Mrs. Morris sobbed silently to herself.
Brightheart had found out how to undim the lights and now they turned to a red and green mixture giving it the appearance of Christmas. Backstage the care bears could see again. "This isn't working!" Tenderheart had to yell to be heard over the loud phantom music. "We need to do more!" He spotted a costume box and hurried over it. He quickly pulled out some small costumes and handed one to anyone nearby. "Put these on just incase someone comes back here. That way they won't know who you are!" So those that had been handed one put it on and Tenderheart went to distribute more around.
Some of the others had decided that it would be easier to cause some commotion from the top of the backstage area. So a group of them ran up the backstage stairs which led to the top of a platform. A bunch of ropes hung around. Some sandbags were attached to the ropes. Swiftheart had no idea what these sandbags did but he figured they were important so he went to 'swift' work biting them with his rabbit teeth. They quickly snapped and fell to the floor. The floor of the backstage area, that is.
The phantom song was over. Now "It's a Hard Knock Life" was playing. So the kids began singing it and got the verses mixed up more than a few times and mimicked sweeping the floors. The smoke machine was still going. The lights were changing color every twenty seconds.
Down, down, down the sand bags fell until then landed with a THUD! hard on the floor. The lighting was dark purple now so poor Good Luck bear could barely see anything. He just heard and felt a thud and started running, not realizing that he was running onto the stage.
About halfway through the Hard Knock Life song Good Luck bear ran across the stage. But no one knew it was him. That's because he had his costume on…a sheet aka a ghost costume. It's probably hard to imagine this scene: a bunch of high school kids in hula skirts, flower lays, and sandals pretending to be sweeping and singing mixed up verses of a song while the lights change color and smoke piles onto the stage and then a little midget ghost suddenly runs across it. Yes, it's hard to imagine…but that's what happened. Everyone just kinda paused and looked at the thing as it ran backstage. Then a kid thought he'd better improvise or something but he wasn't exactly the smartest of the bunch so he just yelled out "It's the ghost of Jimmy Joe! Y' know, Old man Jenkins's grandson!" A second of silence and then someone yelled "RUN!" and all the kids ran around like maniacs.
What the hell is going on? (he was starting to say that a lot) Kaiba thought as the kids ran around crazily. Is everything going wrong or is this just some insane part of the play? And what was that 'ghost' midget supposed to be…
Swiftheart couldn't see from up on the platform what the sandbag had done. But he thought it hadn't done any harm so it could possibly be helping…so he chewed off another couple of sandbags…
Braveheart had covered himself in wigs so you couldn't see him at all and Champ bear had put a very large pumpkin costume. Grumpy bear was wearing another rather large banana costume. None of them could see where they were going and none of them knew what had happened to Good Luck bear. So when the other sandbags came down they were also startle and went bounding across the stage too.
And the kids had to improvise again. "Look it's the bodieless pumpkin!" One shouted as champ bear ran across the stage. But when Braveheart went across he was harder to name.
"It's the…it's the….the…THE HAIR MONSTER! RUN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DIE A PAINFUL AND HAIRY DEATH!"
And then Grumpy bear strutted across.
"IT'S THE CURSED BANANA MONSTER COME TO GET REVENGE ON US FOR MAKING SMOOTHIES OUT OF IT!"and everyone ran around some more and screamed. Mrs. Morris was on the verge of fainting.
At least the audience was loving it, thinking to themselves: Now that is what you call entertaining.
"What's going on back there?" Wish Bear said. She had put on a mask the size of her body and decided it wouldn't hurt to peek behind the curtain…
"IT"S THE MASK OF DOOM! RUN!" Wish bear quickly retreated backstage. No one knew what was really happening but it was entertaining. The disco lights were still going and the main lights had changed to a chrome color.
"I wonder if the sand bags did anything?" Swiftheart asked. Proudheart, who was standing next to him, shrugged. There weren't any more sandbags to cut. Proudheart went further down the platform, near the top of the backdrop.
The backdrop for the play was an island scene with cardboard palm trees attached to it. On those cardboard palm trees were coconuts…real coconuts. Someone had brought them in and they were attached to the palm trees by means of huge amounts of Velcro. Proudheart was close enough to touch the coconuts. No one could see her though because of all of the smoke. She reached for the coconut with both paws and pushed with all her might….
The coconut fell down, down, down….
….onto some kid's head and knocked him out. The audience erupted in laughter. Even Kaiba grinned slightly, thinking to himself: moron.
Proudheart was getting ready to push off some more coconuts and the lights were changing color even faster now (with the disco ball still going). The smoke machine was going strong too, all the kids onstage were running around screaming, and now the "Give my Regards to Broadway song was playing." And then the real mayhem began.
Love a lot bear saw it first. A huge contraption so tall that…well, it was just really high up. But the switch to turn it on was not. In fact, the switch was just the right size for Love a lot bear to switch it on and up to FULL BLAST. And it blasted, believe me. It blasted the scenery and the kids right off the stage. It was a huge fan.
A huge fan that was located just behind the scenery and just in front of the care bears so none of them got blasted. But the fan was huge and extremely powerful. The care bears 'n' cousins on the platform were high up enough to avoid it but the palm trees and backdrop were blown right off the stage and into the middle of the audience where they pushed it to the back of the auditorium. Luckily, Proudheart had removed the coconuts from the trees so they weren't wasted. And she began to drop the coconuts, one by one and they fell and got caught in the huge wind created by the fan and went flying at people in the audience. Kaiba ducked and narrowly missed one. He looked back to see where the coconut went and BONK! Another one hit him square on the head.
Kaiba cursed and looked back towards the stage. The coconuts stopped flying; Proudheart had run out. Kaiba tried to see where the cursed piece of flying fruit had come from but he couldn't see anything with the lights changing color so often. It was enough to blind someone. But Kaiba kept looking because now he had a suspicion sneaking up to him from the back of his mind…the bears….
Well, the huge fan was definitely causing a commotion but the care bears knew they needed more. Sunshine ran and pulled a lever. A lever that led up to a tank marked "WATER." A tank full of 40 gallons of water. And it all came tumbling down…into the wind of the fan and thus into the audience.
The audience screamed as the water spritzed them. That is what you call not entertaining. Kaiba wasn't enjoying it either. He was wearing his white trenchcoat. The one that he had just gotten back after the pink dye had been removed. Kaiba was beginning to think it was cursed.
But the water wasn't enough. Cozyheart ran up to a machine and pushed a button. The machine came on immediately and suddenly it seemed very much like winter; the machine was a snow making machine. Particles of soap suddenly began covering the audience as well. Kaiba grew more furious. And all the while the smoke from the smoke machine was getting redirected towards the audience, making everyone cough and wheeze. A few people tried to get up but the wind just blew them back down again. Plus the sand that had been placed on stage as part of the 'island' scene was blowing into people's eyes giving the whole thing the appearance of a sandstorm.
After a few minutes the snow and water were out. Loyalheart and Treatheart knew they had to do something to keep the distraction going. So they began to take boxes of props and threw them in front of the fan and out to the audience.
Kaiba (being in the front row) was hit with all the following items and some multiple times: the typical Hawaiian items such as flower lays, hula skirts, and those little mini guitars I forgot the name of…plus hats of just about every kind (top hats, sombreros, caps, big fruity ones, cowboy hats, ect), plus a bunch of items from the Wizard of Oz play including an oil can, flying monkey wings, straw, the mane of a lion costume, and a munchkin outfit, then came the stuff from some Halloween play including several fake pumpkins, a grim reaper's scythe, an eyeball, and a bottle of fake blood which broke open and made Seto look like he was bleeding to death (it also stained his poor trenchcoat, man I feel sorry for that trenchcoat…) plus stuff from other random plays like rainbow colored wigs, a watermelon, an umbrella, and a makeup kit which was also open so Seto got lipstick, mascara, face paint, and powder all over his face.
But the care bears weren't done yet. Oh no, because Cheer bear took some stage paint up with her to the platform and poured it right in the line of wind. Of course it ended up spraying everyone (especially Seto) with gusts of splatter paint.
Kaiba was not just gonna sit there and take more of this. He got up and fought to stand against the wind. It was a valiant effort but Kaiba knew he couldn't make it to the stage that way so he dropped to the floor. He felt like a complete idiot crawling against the floor and snaking his way to the stage but no one saw him; everyone was too busy screaming and trying to escape the paint.
Kaiba inched closer. He wasn't sure what he was going to do backstage but he knew he had to find out if it was those retched bears and their little cousins who were making this mess. He had no proof it was them yet but…
…now he did. For when Kaiba had gotten out of the reach of the wind on the right side of the theater he saw them. Two little bears standing on the edge of the stage with two tubes of squish paint in hand. They squeezed the paint and it went flying at Kaiba. But Kaiba knew this tactic and managed to dodge most of the paint. And then he made a bee line for the two bears…
During all of this Tenderheart had been out in the audience trying to locate Yugi. You'd think it'd be easy with his spiky head but he was short too and it was dark so Tenderheart was having a hard time. But finally he spotted Yugi and was about to run up to him when he heard the screams of two little bears and turned around. "Oh no!" Tenderheart yelled, "Baby Hugs and Tugs look out!"
But it was too late. Baby Hugs and Tugs had been so brave as to dare to try to spray Seto to his face but they turned tail and ran when he lunged at them. But they slipped on the slick stage floor and feel backwards. Kaiba joined them on the edge of the stage as they squeezed each other and whimpered in fear. They were trapped. Kaiba saw that they were lying on a long costume dress that had been blown to that side of the stage and he grabbed the end of the dress and yanked it hard. It sent the two poor little baby bears flying away and they hit another part of the stage hard. Luckily they were made of fluff so they weren't really hurt but they were still in pain. They began to cry and their crying got the attention of the others backstage.
"So you thought you could get away after messing with my life!" Kaiba screamed, furious. The bears just cried. "Well that's too bad…because you won't…"
Suddenly an extremely loud sound echoed through the theater. It sounded like…a lion and an elephant?
Of course it did! Because it was Braveheart and Lots o' heart calling a signal to all the others backstage that they needed to wrap things up. Their plan wasn't working too well and Baby Hugs and Tugs were in danger. So at the sound of care bear cousin's calls, they worked together and pulled hard on the curtains. And the curtains came down….
…on top of the whole stage, including Kaiba and the cubs.
Kaiba fell to the floor of the stage as the curtains fell on him, and he scrambled to find the cubs. Baby Hugs and Tugs hurried to get away but Seto reached them first; he grabbed their furry legs. But the care bears and cousins weren't done rescuing them yet.
Friend Bear, Secret Bear, and Playfulheart were on the high platforms above the fan. Behind the fan lay scenery used for other plays and the ropes that the sandbags were once attached to. The trio knew what they had to do. And so all at once they jumped onto the swinging ropes and swung back and forth as hard as they could…and hit as much scenery as they could.
Almost instantly the scenery came down onto the stage. All of it. The audience watched it collapse through the corners of their eyes. Obviously all of this craziness hadn't been part of the play. Mrs. Morris had already fainted. At the sound of the collapsing scenery, some other school administrators heard it and were on their way to see what was going on.
Several pieces of scenery came down on Kaiba, and literally he had no idea what hit him. But he knew whatever it was, it was the work of those animals…the ones that would be dead soon…Kaiba wasn't gonna underestimate them again.
Baby Hugs and Tugs wiggled out from under the curtain after Kaiba let go of them. The other care bears and care bear cousins got out quickly too since they were small enough to crawl out easily. They all gathered on the right side of the stage next to Hugs and Tugs.
"Are you ok?" asked Tenderheart as he came bolting back onto the side of the stage.
"Yeah, do you really think that mean old Seto is a match for us?" Tugs said proudly.
"What I think is that we need to get out of here. This has gotten so out of control—" Tenderheart wasn't able to finish as the theater went pitch black. Brightheart had finally found the 'off' switch and then he raced down to everyone on the stage.
"Hurry! Follow me!" he said. He grabbed Tenderheart's hand and Tenderheart grabbed Tugs who grabbed Hugs, etc. etc. so all of them had made a chain and they followed Brightheart (who could see in the dark since he's a raccoon) through the emergency exit and outside back into the light.
A few seconds later Kaiba squirmed out from under the curtains, cursing madly and swearing everything he could think of against the care bears and their cousins. The administrators came and switched the lights back on and the fan off. They asked everyone what had happened but no one knew. It was as if ghosts had caused it all.
And poor Mrs. Morris hadn't even been awake to see it all. But at least her goal had been accomplished. For this play had in deed been one that you had to see to believe.
There was no doubt that the school mayhem had begun…
…and it was only 1st period.
End of Chapter 9
Woah that was long and confusing. I think too many things happened at once…sorry bout that…
Not every period is gonna be its own chapter but a couple more might be…I'm not sure. And the maid wasn't in this chapter because it was so long but she should be in it next chapter I think. Oh and you may wonder why Seto was wearing his white trenchcoat instead of the school uniform but it's because he doesn't wear the uniform to school everyday. Plus it's my fic so I can make him wear it if I want right….
Anways, I know I had a lot of ranting at the beginning of this chapter but I like to discuss yugioh so I'm gonna talk about the new episodes every week! Maybe you guys can comment on what you think about it! Anways, that's enough of this…
Oh and by the way this is the second time I've mentioned Jimmy Joe. Jimmy Joe isn't meant to make fun of anyone it's just a nickname for one of my insane friends…who I'm gonna kill if she doesn't read and review this fanfic…
Preview: In chapter 10 more school craziness including lunch mayhem! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
See you next chapty! This is becoming my trademark man but: Don't forget to care or review! See ya!
