Mokuba Kaiba, In The Library, With The Computer
Today's phrase is commonly attributed to Edward Flaherty.
'Wake up and smell the Shadow Magic, kid. Your brother is a jerk.'
'I'd tell you to get a clue, but you couldn't get a clue during the clue mating season in a field full of horny clues if you smeared your body with clue musk and did the clue mating dance.'
Mokuba's eyes widened, then narrowed to tiny slits. A growl escaped his lips and he glared at the piece of paper and accompanying magnet in his hands.
"Oh, boy. They really did it this time," Serenity said.
Crumpling the note into an infinitesimally small wad of paper, Mokuba seethed. "How…dare they?"
Serenity shrugged. "All's fair in love and war?" she offered lamely.
"And baby, this is both," Mokuba agreed.
Blinking, Serenity said, uncomprehending, "Both?"
Mokuba nodded. "These guys aren't just content to attack people one at a time anymore – they're going after our loved ones, too. That 'I'm With Stupid' shirt Joey got to give to my brother, whatever it was that Mai sent to Bakura and Ryou… It's an all-out family feud now."
"So we should go after pairs of people?" Serenity asked.
Mokuba nodded.
"Well, who should we get?" she asked practically. "I think almost everybody's been hit by now."
Pausing reflectively for a moment, Mokuba finally said, "Not Shadi. Or Bandit Keith."
"Or Espa Roba," Serenity put in.
"Rex Raptor hasn't been done, either," Mokuba continued.
"But except for Shadi and Rex, none of them are dating anyone," Serenity pointed out. "And I really don't want to get on Isis' bad side." She shuddered at the thought of what the holder of the Millennium Tauk could do when she got mad.
"Espa has four younger brothers, though," Mokuba said. "And I don't give a shit about getting on Dinoboy's bad side. Do you?" He raised an eyebrow.
A smile reminiscent of the one her brother got when he was about to pounce Seto crossed her lips. "Not at all," she said agreeably.
"Then let's get cracking!" Mokuba exclaimed.
"To the computer room?" Serenity asked, knowing that her boyfriend would most probably need to surf the 'Net for a suitable phrase.
Mokuba shook his head. "To the library," he said. "The computer in there has a faster modem."
"Let the games begin!" Serenity pronounced, and she and Mokuba exchanged wicked grins.
Rex Raptor had better watch out; that dinosaur was about to become extinct.
