Wow, people like this?
"Hi, how is everyone today? My name is Yugi Motou and I live at a game shop!" You are confronted with a spiky-haired fourteen year old. He has weird colored hair, but that doesn't seem to bother the people walking past him, who all have normal hair.
He is standing outside of his house, a game shop, merrily trying to get people to come in and buy something.
"Now, I normally don't like advertising nor talking aloud…hey, do you think that's why people are ignoring me?" He turns to look at the floating Kuriboh.
"I mean, is it normal that only I can see you?" He gives an adorable pout and continues on, " the other me says that it's fine that I talk to you, but then again, practically nobody can see him either."
Kuriboh gives a sight nod, or at least that is what Yugi interprets it as.
"'cause, Ryou can sort of see him too…that is I think. Ryou goes all crazy, and I think his hair starts to absorb the electricity in the air." Yugi gives a look to the Kuriboh. "You think so? Yes, I guess I can see how Ryou might be a battery in disguise. Why don't we go and ask him?"
Yugi gives a cheerful face, eyes half moons…something only an anime character can do. "Let's go!"
As he turns to walk away from the game shop, an old person calls to him. Somebody smack me, this gets lamer every sentence.
"Yugi! Yugi, boy! Wait up!" Yugi turns around to see his grandfather chasing after him.
"What's up Gramps?"
"I need you to pick up this card from the new Japanese game shop down the road. Think you can do that?"
"Sure thing, Gramps!" Yugi eagerly takes the slip from his grandpa's wrinkly hands and changes course.
While walking happily down the street to the new Japanese game shop, Yugi continues chatting to Kuriboh.
"Hey Yug! Who ya' talkin' to?" Yugi stops his conversation and looks up at his best friend, who once tried to beat him up…wait, what am I thinking? He only wanted to show that he wanted to befriend him by knocking him around….much better.
"No one, Joey. I got to do an errand for gramps, though. Want to come along?"
"Sure man, but I gotta' register for the new duel thing at that Japanese game shop, first"
"That's where I'm going, too! We'll go together." Yugi exclaimed.
Walking together now, Yugi avoided talking to Kuriboh, because he didn't want to appear insane in front of his best friend.
They walked into the game shop moments later. Suddenly, a random girl just pops up.
"Hiya' y'all! What can I get for you today?" She asked bubbly, from behind the game counter.
"Nice to meet you, I'm here to pick up a card." Yugi responded well naturedly
"I'm here to register for dueling." Joey added.
"Great, my name's Mysty!" She blinked her eyes slowly…"not to be confused with Mary-sue Mysty. Hehehe"
"Okay…" Joey and Yugi both looked at each other. The girl was crazy…but necessary for the plot, so they had to endure her.
"I'm looking for a," Yugi pulled out the slip of paper and read the card name. The card's name was written in pinkish-silvery ink. Yugi needed to ask Gramps later where he got that marker from…it was so cool: he could do his English homework with it…wait? Weren't they in Japan? Or are they in America? Oh, I'm so confused! Anyway, back to the plot…does this story even have one? Okay, I'll stop…really I will.
"I'm looking for the Dark Magician card my Gramps sent me here to get." Yugi finished…see, I did stop…
Joey looked at Yugi quizzically…why did Gramps need a Dark Magician card? Actually, I don't know either, Joey.
"Okay," Mysty said all hyper like, "Let me check on the computer for you." Insert random sparkly sequences as Mysty does some mumbo-jumbo with the computer.
"Okay, done!" She bounced on her the balls of her feet, her heels clacking against the tiled floor. Why is she wearing heels? I don't know that either, I just like the sound of them clacking on the floor…again I'm getting off the subject. "I'm sorry to inform you Yugi, but there is no such card in my super Japanese computer by the name of Dark Magician."
"What?" Joey and Yugi exclaimed together.
"I have a Dark Magician card in my deck!" Yugi began to pull out his deck, searching for his most beloved card.
"Well, according to my Japanese computer, there is no such card as the 'Dark Magician'." Mysty frowned as Yugi handed her his card.
"See! Right there, that's my buddy's card!" Joey emphasized, pointing at the card.
"Hmm," Mysty evaluated the card before she pulled out a huge book. "Let's see what it says here in the rules."
Yugi and Joey watched her as she came to one particular page, gave a nod of agreement and spoke.
"Well, there's a simple explanation to this gentlemen. This card's a fake!" She then pulled out a pair of scissors and swiftly cut the card in half.
Yugi fainted.
"What'd ya' do that for?" Joey began to get into Mysty's face.
"It was a fake I tell you! A fake!" Mysty hid behind the counter and pressed the security alarm button right before Joey could tackle her and kill her.
Out of nowhere, alarms sounded as the place suddenly swarmed with police.
"You're going to have to come with us, young man," Said donut eater number one.
"Arrest her, man! She's the one that cut up my best bud's favorite card!" Joey tried to resist arrest, but was stopped by donut eater number two.
At the station…
The station was scary…the kind of, 'oh no, it's a police station' scary.
"Now, tell us your name again, young man."
"It's Joey Wheeler, I swear! Why won't you believe me?"
"According to our records, we took your finger prints when you went running around with that gang of yours…Mr. Katsuya…"
"That's not my name! I neva' ran around wit' any gang!"
"Sure, that's what they all say."
This was so random…It really was not supposed to turn out like this, I swear. I just couldn't stop watching YGO GX(which I still don't understand) and then the whole Kuriboh thing came up. Not to mention, this one time I slept over at Vera's, we watched Bakura turn into Yami Bakura and Vera says "Ryou turning into a battery!"
That was so uncharacteristic of her, so I felt I had to add that. And then this all kind of wrote itself.
Incase anyone didn't catch on, I made references to the 'lost' first season of YGO, the Dark versus Black Magician, and Joey's Japanese name. I also dissed myself…
