Word count: 150

A/N: Ha... I know people don't usually pick inanimate objects as their mascots, but hey, who said Yugi-tachi are normal people?

"You're pouting. What's wrong?"

"I was talking with Malik and Ryou earlier, and we just started to talk about mascots for us. And you know, we'r hikaris, so we thought about lights. Not big ones like the sun. Just small ones.

"And Malik said he was a light bulb because it lasted long. And Ryou was a camp fire because it gave people this warm and fuzzy feeling."

"And you?"

"A candle flame."

"You're not happy. Why?"

"A candle is so easy to extinguish! And it's small!"

"Well, Malik is a fuse short of a light bulb in my opinion, and Ryou becomes a fire hazard when Bakura is around..."

A look.

"I prefer candles. The ethereal glow is something no other fire can replicate. It's bright, but not too bright. It's warm, but not too warm. It's also natural. And you know what lit candles represent?"

"What?"

Smile.

"Hope."
