A/N: Well, you thought the first chapter was odd, but it's about to get odder… Thanks to Dragonlady222 and Willowwind for the reviews, as per usual, and I'm glad to see you finally showed up, Scooby2408. Only kidding. Sorry, no time for proper responces again... My dad wants on...

Filler: Acting for Inspiration Part 2

It has now been 1 week since Anna Mitsan joined the Cast of Yu-Gi-Oh to shoot the special Made-for-TV Movie, Amusing for Inspiration

About 60 percent of the scenes have been shot due to Cast and Crew alike working efficiently. There is no particular order as to which scenes are shot on witch day, besides the whims of Kazuki Takahasi.

And now, after working hard for a week, acting is becoming boring, and we re-join the cast as they try and find something to do…

Day 8…

The camera entered the staff room, and it was not all that glamorous. It could have been any staff room in the world, with chairs and a small counter to make drinks on. It even had a kettle.

Inside, Anna was taking a chance to have a drink while she wasn't needed, and the only other person in the room with her was the guy that played Yami, who's real name was Alan.

"Well," She said, resting her mug on her lap. "They're just shooting the ending scenes now, where Yugi and Ryou are pretending to be gay, so I'm just hanging around in here…" She nodded at the man sitting silently on the other side of the room. "And look who else is here! I think Yami actually only comes in once, so this is the first time I've met Alan… Um… He doesn't talk much, but… Do you, Alan?"
He glared and said nothing.

Anna laughed slightly. "Well, what do you expect, after 5000 years of being in the Puzzle?" She leaned forward, whispering. "I think someone's spent a little too long trapped inside a Pyramid…"

"Which the Egyptians didn't build." Alan announced randomly, proving that he had heard the comment.

"What?" Anna blinked.

"The Egyptians didn't build the Pyramids. At least, not alone." Alan insisted. "There's no way they could have done it alone."

"Um… Well, they must have done because the Pyramids are there…" Anna replied, sucking down coffee like it was the only thing keeping her alive.

"No." He shook his head. "Aliens. They must have had help from Aliens. Some people think the Pyramids are really special 'Computers' that calculate… Things."

"Right, okay." Anna raised an eyebrow.

"Or that they're some kind of weapon…" Alan continued.

Just then, Ryou entered, grinning inanely. At least Anna could tell the difference between him and his brother now. Speaking of the other half of the twin set, he must have been acting that day. "Have you seen Seto?" He asked.

"No…" Anna frowned.

"Oh good!" He smiled in relief. "I thought I'd missed him…"

"What have you done?" She asked tolerantly.

"Wait and see…" he smiled, disappearing again.

The room fell into silence. Anna just raised her eyebrows, clearly thinking about how crazed this place was, and continued to drink.

/Cut Scene, Fading Transition, Text:Lunchtime/

At lunch, they were all sat in the staff room, eating various meals, Téa one that she probably couldn't even taste. It was very crowded in the small room, because, for the first time, the entire cast except Seto was in there, tired after a morning filming. Apart from Alan, who had only done one scene, and Anna hadn't done any yet. They were all eating companionably, and having nice, civilised conversation.

Or listening in bewilderment to Alan insisting loudly to the Bakura brothers that twins were in fact descended from a failed genetic experiment to clone people.

Just then, the door banged open, and Seto came in, looking angry.

"Alright!" He demanded. "Who was it!"

"Who was what?" Yugi asked innocently, although he had a feeling that if something was afoot, the twins would be behind it.

"You know what!" Seto insisted angrily. "Don't try to play innocent, any of you!"

"No, we don't know what, and we don't really care to either." Téa snorted.

"Ah, c'mon…" Anna muttered to her, perhaps a little more inclined to be nice to Seto, mainly because she hadn't been stuck with the guy for as long as the others. "What's the matter, Seto?"

"What's the matter!" He screamed back, waving something. "This is the matter! I went to change out of costume, and this is what I found!"

Anna grabbed the piece of material he was failing in her face, and held it still so she could see. The camera zoomed in on it eagerly. It was yet another of Seto's environmental T-shirts, the one he had worn that morning, with, if she remembered correctly, SAVE THE WORLD written in big black letters. And, indeed, the slogan was still there- but someone had added to it, for written underneath in neat hand writing, was put (We'll Trade it for Something Shiny Later).

"See?" Seto yelled, obviously upset even as his fellow cast members, looking over Anna's shoulder, collapsed into giggles. "What a terrible thing to say! SAVE THE WORLD, We'll Trade it for Something Shiny Later? What's that supposed to mean!"

"Seto…" Anna said, holding back a laugh and trying to calm him down. "It's just a joke… just a funny slogan… calm down, already…"

"But it's not funny!" Seto insisted. "It's sick! The planet is the only place we have to live and we should take care of it, not kill it. I'm trying to make a statement-"

"Well, no worries, Seto, you certainly do that." One of the Twins commented, impossible to tell the voices apart unless you saw their faces. "It's just a joke, for pity's sake. Just a bit of fun."

"So it was you two!" Seto accused, his eyes narrowing. "I should've guessed! This is exactly the kind of thing you'd do!"

"Hey, hey!" Ryou said, holding his hands up. "Calm down! Don't do anything 'Hasty'. I wouldn't want to get in a fight with you…"

"No, you wouldn't." Seto scowled. "Because you know I'd beat you."

"Exactly." Ryou grinned, Seto the only one not realising he was being wound up again.

"Now," Seto snatched his top back from Anna. "I am taking this to the dry cleaners, and I expect you two to pay the bill!" He marched out the room, head held to the sky.

The remaining cast members looked at each other in disbelief, then burst out laughing.

/Cut scene, Fading Transition/

Seto stomped into the interviewing room.

"Look at this!" He yelled, holding up the vandalised T-shirt in annoyance. "Look what those damn twins have done!"

"What are you going to do?" The interviewer asked.

Seto looked pensive. "I'm not sure yet. But it'll be good…" He nodded firmly. "This time, they have gone too far. And I will get my revenge…! But, right now, I have to go on stage. I'm about to do the ending scene, when Azreal turns up at my doorway and I get my memories back…"

"Are you looking forward to kissing her?"

Seto considered, head on one side. "I'm not dreading it…" He said eventually. "But I'm sure she'll enjoy it more then me. I'm just hoping my girlfriend doesn't look too deeply into it…"

"Ignore him!" A certain person's voice echoed from where he had been listening from outside the partly open door. "He doesn't have a girlfriend!"

Seto stood up, running out the room. "Bakura!" He yelled. "I swear…!"

The camera just caught a shot of a laughing white-haired actor running off down the corridor, ahead of a very annoyed brunet after his blood.

/Cut scene, Fading Transition/

Anna was in the interview room now, in full Azreal get-up, minus the wings.

"Well," She sighed nervously. "I'm about to do my first screen-kiss…And it's weirding me completely, especially after that little display Seto gave us at lunch time…" She twirled a loose strand of hair absently. "Plus, I'm worried the Bakuras are going to pull something… There seems to be a vendetta between them and Seto…"

"Are you looking forward to it?"

She didn't hesitate. "Not really… I mean, when I first got the part, I was…" She sighed. "But what they don't show on film is dog-breath. I mean, no offence to Seto if he ends up watching this, but… A Tic Tac wouldn't hurt you, man! Goodness!" She sighed again, and stood up. "Well, it's time… let's hope that Seto cleaned his mouth at lunchtime…" She grimaced, but then, marched out determinedly.

/Cut scene, Fading Transition/

Anna's heart was pounding, but it was of nerves, not the kind of way you get when you are with your love.

Just get this over with… She thought Just imagine that's it's the Seto Kaiba from the show, not the dog-breathed Eco-warrior nerd from behind the scenes… Just kiss the guy and be done with it… Just ignore his breath, ignore the rest of the cast watching, ignore the fact that this will be watched by the nation…

She was about to close her eyes, but just caught a glimpse of Seto's teeth before his lips. And she screamed in surprise, jumping back. "Sorry, sorry…!" She yelled. "Seto, your teeth are blue!"

Behind her, the cast were laughing raucously. Guess who was laughing loudest.

Seto glared at them. "Food colouring in the food?" He asked. "Oh, real mature, guys!"

"If you leave your sandwiches lying around, you demand for them to be tampered with." One of the Bakuras shrugged. "In future, don't leave them lying around!"

"They weren't lying around…" Seto ground out. "They were hidden in a non-descript plastic carrier bag underneath the loose floor board in the dressing room!"

"Then hide them better." He shrugged.

"Or check the filling for unusual colouring." The other chimed in.

"Right!" Seto declared. "That is it! I should have done this a long time ago! I quit!"

He stormed out the studio, not even bothering to go and get changed out of the (fake) leather trousers and the trademark Trench coat.

The Cast and Crew looked at each other.

/Cut Scene, Fading Transition, Text:Day 25: /

Anna was talking in the interview room, but they would use it as a voice-over later.

"Well, it's Day 25, and we're still at a standstill with the filming, because Seto hasn't come back yet…"

Yugi, Alan and Téa were in the staff room; smoking, staring into space and building a house of cards respectively.

"The Bakura Brothers are kinda in disgrace right now…" She laughed a little. "They're not in the Director's Good Books at the minute…"

The twins in question were talking to the light man, who wasn't anymore friendly to them then he had been to Seto, although they were technically earning him more money the longer they had to wait for Seto.

"The thing is, no-one knows where he's gone. He's not at home or anything. I'm thinking he's run off with Greenpeace to save the whales or something, in witch case, we're screwed." The screen returned to Anna, who was sitting in the interview room, at a bit of a lose end.

"Actually, I'm right here!" Seto declared gleefully wandering into the room.

"I'm not sure whether to hug you or punch you," Anna said disbelievingly. "So I'll decline to do either. What are you doing here! Where have you been?"

"Getting my revenge." He laughed. "See? I held you all up for more then a fortnight! Maybe it'll teach you all to respect me!"

"Changed my mind." Anna said. "I'm gonna punch ya!"

/Cut Scene, Fuzzy screen Transition/

/Credits showing scenes not used in documentary/

Amusing for Inspiration was eventually released, almost 3 weeks late. The other half a week that Seto hadn't wasted was used trying to stop all his fellow cast members from pummelling him.

Seto has decided that once the show is finished in it's entirety he will give up acting and go and join Greenpeace in Saving the World (and whales).

Téa officially quit smoking, claiming that with the memory of Seto getting punched she can bear to live.

When Amusing was done, Alan was found trying to sneak into Area 51 and is now awaiting trial for Acts of Suspected Terrorism. He is expected to be let off with a fine.

The Bakura Brothers began their own sitcom, which is filming now.

Yugi took a part as one of the seven dwarves in a local pantomime to try and raise the money to pay Alan's bail.

Anna earned enough money to move out of her parent's house, and now has her own home near the coast. She will not give any of her fellow-cast members her address.

The next time she meets the others will be for the filming of the Spin-off of the series, where she does not have such a major part, It's My Move.

Anna's comment when told this was 'Don't remind me'.

The End

A/N: Well, that little trip into the bizarre realms of OOC-ness is over. Oh, and so she won't hurt me, I heard the 'SAVE THE WORLD- We'll trade it for something shiny later' T-shirt slogan off my-ever helpful friend Willowwind, but it's not hers either. She stole it off a friend and I stole it off her. So thanks to Willowwind's friend!

And now, it's time for me to leave you for two weeks. I love writing these fanfics, and I have no doubt that in a few days I'll be longing for a keyboard, but still. I have my trusty notebook and a few one-shots in mind! It'll also be nice to have a break from an update schedule. I have put up at least one chapter a week, every week, since February the 22nd, when AfI popped into my head! However, here's a fun fact I bet you never knew- I almost paired Azreal with Ryou, the idea being that he found out who wrote the love letter to Téa. The Azreal/Seto pairing pushed it out of the way as I was starting chapter one. I tried to convince myself not to do it, because I had the Az/Ryou all planned out, but it just seemed to work so much better… and look how it's turned out! The first fic, the start of the sequel, a spin-off, and a third fic in the pipeline! It's certainly grown…

But even Azreal needs a break sometimes, and so do I. So I shall see you in just over 2 weeks, when we return to WyGwith a rather interesting problem… and what do they have planned for poor old Ryou! Join me in chapter 5, at the moment called USKFC! Guess what it stands for… Until then, have fun everyone, whatever you're doing!

Actually signing off for once, Waffles
