GYAH! I posted this once, but I forgot to translate the song...-.-;;

The Fair

Terra POV

I sighed, and looked at Kaiba. "You don't have to come with me on any of the rides—but don't wander off on me either, or I'll kill you."

Kaiba rolled his eyes. "In case you hadn't realized this by now, I don't know my way around this place. If I were to wander off, I'd get lost. So, if you don't mind, I'm staying put."

I grinned. "Oh, I don't mind a bit. Now, let's go find something fun to do!"

We passed a candy booth—and I squealed. "Ooh! Cotton candy! Be right back!" I bought a huge bag of cotton candy, and ignoring Kaiba's protests, I began popping chunks in my mouth.

He made a face. "You're braver than I thought."

I snorted. "That's got to be an insult."

"No. Cotton candy in Japan tastes more like raw cotton than candy."

I raised my eyebrows. "Really? Well, here in America, cotton candy is more sugar than anything." I tore off a piece. "Want some?"

Kaiba eyed me suspiciously. "What's the catch?"

I shook my head. "No catch. Just eat it."

With a skeptical look on his face, Kaiba took the cotton candy and popped it into his mouth. "This isn't bad!"

I grinned. "Told ya."

Kaiba looked around as we approached an intersection, reaching for another chunk of cotton candy. "Which way should we go?"

I pointed to the left. "That way is the indoor exhibits—art, science, cooking, models, all kinds of stuff." I pointed straight ahead. "That way is the roller coasters, the ascending Drop of Fears, the Spinning Viking Ship of Doom thingy, and all that." I jerked my head to the right. "That way is the kiddie rides. Don't worry about food or drinks, there are concession stand all over this place."

"We're not going on the kiddie rides," Kaiba said flatly.

"I know. So, what's first? Rides or exhibits?"

Kaiba thought for a moment. "Logic says go to the rides first. That way, we can go to the exhibits when we get tired."

"And you always listen to logic?"

Kaiba growled. "Okay, so I want to ride a roller coaster. So what? The last time I went to an amusement park was when I was eleven."

I grinned. "Then this should be fun. Let's go!"

As we walked, I spotted a camera booth. "Come on—I want to do this."

"Do what?" Kaiba asked suspiciously.

I shrugged. "Get our picture taken. Come on!"

Kaiba stood firm, crossing his arms. "Seto Kaiba doesn't have his picture taken," he said flatly.

I smirked. "You're not Seto Kaiba right now, remember? You're Sorien Miasawa. And Sorien Miasawa is getting his picture taken, whether he likes it or not."

I dragged him towards the little booth, and ducked under the curtain, pulling him in after me.

"This is stupid," Kaiba muttered as I slipped a couple of quarters into the machine.

"Everything here is stupid to you," I pointed out, sitting back. "Now shut up and smile for the camera."

A few minutes later, we were walking down the path again. I shuffled through the six pictures—the first consisting of me smiling nicely and Kaiba deathglaring me, and the other five consisting of me making weird faces at the camera and Kaiba eyeing me like I was insane. "You could have at least tried to smile," I muttered sourly, slipping them into my bag.

Kaiba snorted. "That would mean letting you have your way. And that's not going to happen any time soon."

I elbowed him. "Shut up."

Kaiba smirked. "Why?"

And that got us started into that old argument—again.

Mikey POV

"Are you good?" Ryou asked as the Skyrise took off with a bump.

I nodded, looking out over the edge of the little car as it rose up and up along the wire. Soon, we were about twenty feet in the air, and had a bird's-eye view of the entire park.

Ryou leaned over the edge, shading his eyes with his hand. "Hey, look—I think I see John!"

He groaned. "What a baka…he just dumped his water on Dean's head!"

I couldn't help but giggle. I peered over myself. "I see Dustil and Yuugi! They just got off the bumper cars—and they're going right back on!"

Ryou laughed. "And there's Sonja trying to get Damien in the funhouse!"

I pointed. "Merekai and Jonouchi are at a concession stand. Look at how much food they've got!"

"There goes Marik—she's really giving Malik a run for his money! Literally!"

The two of us collapsed into laughter. We then tried to find the remaining pairs, but couldn't.

Ryou sighed. "Oh well. Can't have 'em all, eh?"

I grinned. "Right."

We sat in silence for a moment. Ryou began to kick his legs back and forth, causing the whole car to swing.

"Ryou!" I gasped, clutching at the safety bar as the car swung up at a forty-five-degree angle.

Ryou immediately stopped swinging his legs, grabbing my shoulders. "Gomen, gomen! Gomen nasai, Mikey-koi!"

I blinked. "Wha?"

Ryou blinked, too. "What what?"

"What did you call me?"

Ryou grinned. "Mikey-koi. Why?"

I gave my head a little shake. "That's what I thought you said."

Ryou frowned a little. "If you want me not to—"

I smiled at him. "No, it's all right. Really. It's just… Never mind."

I turned to look back out over the edge of the car. Somehow—even with what had been happening—I still wasn't expecting being called Mikey-koi by Ryou. It was the stuff of my dreams.

I felt his hand on mine. "Are you sure you're all right, Mikey?"

"…I am now," I said softly, holding his hand a little tighter.

Bakura POV

"No. Man, I am not getting anywhere near that."

I rolled my eyes. "For Ra's sake, it's a roller coaster—and it's not even a very fast one!"

Sam's face went a bit pale as she watched the cars of the Dopple Looper run up and around the twin loops. "I've never been on a roller coaster before," she moaned softly.

I grinned, grabbing her wrist. "There's a first time for everything!" I then proceeded to drag her over to the line. "And don't even think about trying to call Derama out on me—she has no problems with things that spin and whirl at high speeds."

Sam paled even more. "Crud," she groaned.

It didn't take long before we were seated in the roller coaster—in the very front seats, at my insistence. The ride attendant buckled down the safety harnesses, and with a jerk, the ride started off.

"This isn't good," Sam muttered to herself, looking around as we went higher and higher.

I grinned. "Oh, yes it is!"

The cars stopped, hovering on the edge of a forty-five-degree drop. Without much imagining, I saw myself on a steep cliff, tottering on the edge, about to fall—

And the coaster dived.

The wind whipped my hair back from my face. The roller coaster went fast—very fast. Beside me, Sam was screaming—but it was a scream of exhilaration, not of fear. Feeling a fierce, wild rush of excitement, I grabbed her hand.

The coaster went over the twin loops, curved, spun, went upside-down—and pulled us back up to the top of the hill for a second run.

"You ready for another time around?" I murmured to Sam. She nodded, eyes bright with excitement.

And the coaster dropped again.

Two minutes later, we were standing in the middle of the wide fair lane, regaining our balance on the still ground. I grinned. "See? That wasn't so bad, was it?"

Sam grinned, too. "I guess not!"

"So, you up for another roller coaster?"

"Yeah—let's go!"

Sonja POV

"This is boring," I whined. Damien absolutely refused to go on any of the rides except the bumper cars—and I didn't want to go on the bumper cars.

Damien glared at me. "Deal with it."

"You sound like Kaiba," I commented dryly—and ducked as Damien threw a punch at me. "Nyaaah—and you hit like him too! Or rather, miss!"

I ran, laughing, Damien on my tail. "When I get my hands on you, Sonja—!"

"You'll have to catch me fir—ulp!" Damien grabbed my wrist from behind, yanking me backwards.

He smirked. "You were saying?"

I tried to yank my wrist out of his grasp. "Damien! Lemme go!"

Damien shook his head. "Why? The bumper cars are right here!"

He stopped. "Wait—I think I hear Yuugi! Listen!"

I paused, listening. Sure enough, I head Yuugi's voice—and Dustil's, too.

"Iie, Dustil, we've gone on these a million times! I want to go do something else!"

"But Yuugi, these are fun!"

"But I'm tired of bumper cars!"

Damien looked at me. We both nodded, and walked up to the two shorter boys.

"We heard you two arguing," Damien said, grinning. "We have the same problem—I want to go on the bumper cars, and Sonja doesn't. How about we switch buddies?"

Yuugi nodded. "Shimeta. Fine with me."

Dustil grinned at Damien. "Last one in line's a rotten egg!" The two of them headed back for the line.

Yuugi grinned at me. "I was looking at one of the Haunted Houses earlier, but Dustil wouldn't leave the bumper cars. Are you coming?"

I grinned. "Definitely."

After about two minutes, Yuugi managed to find the Haunted House. We showed the person in charge our wristbands (A/N: Which I just remembered are called POP Tickets—Pay One Price), and stepped inside.

The lights immediately went dim as the door closed behind us. We were inside a large hexagonal room with a door on every other wall. There was writing in red paint on the wall across from our door.

Pick a door.
Pick your fate.
Find your way out of the Haunted Labyrinth.

Yuugi shivered a little. "That doesn't sound too good…"

I sighed. "Come on, Yuugi. This is just another lame-o, cheap-o haunted house ride."

Yuugi looked around suspiciously. "I dunno…"

"I know. Now pick a door."

Yuugi looked between the doors for a moment, and then pointed at the door to the right. "That one."

I nodded. "To the right, then!" I reached for the doorknob, and pulled open the door. We stepped through, into a very dimly-lit room—and something dropped at us. Yuugi let out a small shriek, ducking behind me.

I started backwards—and the grinned. "Look, Yuugi—it's just a fake!" In fact, it was a plastic skeleton on strings, holding a wooden sign. In green paint were the words 'Turn back, if you don't want to end up like me!'.

Yuugi giggled. "He's not that scary!"

"Really?" I teased. "Then how come you jumped practically two feet in the air?"

Yuugi stuck his tongue out at me, and I laughed.

We looked around the room. Once again, it was hexagonal, with a door on every other wall. "Should we go right again?"

Yuugi shook his head. "Let's go to the left."

"All right, then! Let's go!"

We went through the door—and into pitch blackness. As soon as entered, the door shut itself, condemning us to darkness.

"Sonja?" I heard Yuugi call nervously. "Are you still in here?"

"You would've seen a light somewhere if I walked out." I replied into the darkness. "Where are you?"

"I don't know…try saying something so I can come to you."

I shrugged and began to sing the first song that came to mind—Ashita Moshi Kimi ga Kowaretemo, which happened to be my all-time favorite song and the first ever ending song of YuGiOh.

"Call my name
Dareka ga yobu koe
Kurayami no fukai kanashimi
Shiroi suhada no kimi ga
Boku no soko ni hikari wo sasu…

Kuro ka shiro ka wakaranai mama
Konna ai wa jidaiokure nano ka
Bokura wa ichinichijuu
Asa ga otozureru no wo matsu dake…

Ashita moshi kimi ga kowaretemo
Koko kara nigedasanai
Tsukareta karada wo iyasu
Kimi no hohoemi yo…

Lonely heart
Moteamasu kokoro
Pokkari ana ga aita you da
Jibun wo osaekirezu
Nanika ni iraira shiteta…

Ano koi wo wasurerarenai to
Deatta koro hanashiteta ne
Honshin wo kakushita kao
Mada boku niwa sukui ga arisou?

Ashita moshi kimi ga kowaretemo
Samayoi tsuzukeru darou
Aishite hajimete shita
Ushinau kowasa wo…

Ashita moshi kimi ga kowaretemo
Nani mo mienaku natte mo
Yasuraka na toki no naka de
Bokura wa arukidasu…

Kimi no maboroshi yo…"

I felt something brush against me. "Yuugi? Did you just brush up against something?"

Then something grabbed my waist. "Please tell me this is you, Sonja!" Yuugi cried from somewhere around the vicinity of my chest.

I grinned. "If Damien saw this, he'd have your head," I joked. The sigh of relief following my statement confirmed that the cling-on was, in fact, Yuugi.

Suddenly, the lights flickered on. Sure enough, Yuugi was holding me tightly, face buried in my chest. "Uh, yeah—if Damien saw this, he'd really go Kaiba on your butt."

Yuugi looked up—and let go quickly, blushing.

I realized that, though the room was much larger than the previous two, it was still hexagonal. "This is getting really redundant," I muttered. "To the left again."

Yuugi whimpered a little as I opened the door and we entered a corridor filled with fake cobwebs. He glanced cautiously around as we walked.

"You're lucky you're a midget," I muttered sourly, ducking under the hanging cobwebs for the umpteenth time. "I swear, sometimes I think I'm getting too tall…"

"I don't think so," Yuugi said a little too lightly, still glancing nervously around. "I think you're fine the way you are…"

I smiled a little. "You're always so optimistic…that's one of the things that make you so cute…" I laughed as Yuugi blushed even harder.

I ducked yet another cobweb—and ran into a door. I yelped, stumbling backwards and rubbing my nose. "Who put that door there!"

Yuugi giggled a little, and peered into the next room.

"Sonja. You're not gonna believe this." He threw open the door.

I blinked. "No. Way. Duel Monsters?"

Yes. The pictures off the cards I treasured so much—right here in front of me, as wax statues.

Yuugi's fear was immediately diminished, as he was in 'familiar' territory. He ran towards a life-sized statue of Gaia the Fierce Knight. "They're almost exactly like the holograms!" he exclaimed, amazed.

I chuckled. He might have been fourteen, but he was still a little kid at heart…

Suddenly, I spotted one of my monsters looming regally over the figure of a Petit Dragon. "Hey! It's Galactica!"

Yuugi looked over at me, confused. "Hunh? There's no card named Galactica…"

I pointed at the statue. It was of a woman with a large yellow crown that looked like a headdress, wearing a royal blue robe and dark blue cloak. Her pitch black eyes stared lifelessly at us, thin mouth in a permanent frown. "That is to say, Cosmo Queen—Attack twenty-nine hundred, Defense twenty-four fifty. My all-time favorite."

"You duel?" he asked, cocking his head.

I nodded, waving my deck in front of his nose before slipping it back into the box that was attached to my belt. "Watching you and Yami duel makes me want to. But sadly, Damien is just no match—plus, he's a sore loser."

Yuugi laughed. "I guess Kaiba's looks weren't the only thing he got!"

It took me three whole minutes to stop laughing after that remark.

Yuugi began to prowl around—and stopped in front of a row of humanoid-looking monsters. "I've never seen these before!" he exclaimed.

I grinned. "If Miriku were in here, she'd be having a blast. Those, my friend, are the Elemental Heroes—at least, the ones that aren't fusions." I pointed to a man in a green outfit, with white wings extending from his back. "This one's Elemental Hero Avian—Attack and Defense one thousand." The next one in line was a girl dressed all in red. "This is E-Hero Burstinatrix—Attack twelve hundred, Defense eight hundred."

I continued down the line. "Bladedge—Attack twenty-six hundred, Defense eighteen hundred. Wildheart—Attack fifteen hundred, Defense sixteen hundred. Bubbleman—Attack eight hundred, Defense twelve hundred. Clayman—Attack eight hundred, Defense two thousand. Sparkman—Attack sixteen hundred, Defense fourteen hundred. Necroshade—Attack sixteen hundred, Defense eighteen hundred."

As we walked towards the only other door in the room, we passed a statue of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Its pupil-less blue eyes glared menacingly at us. I shivered inwardly.

Yuugi looked up at me. "Something wrong?"

I shuddered. "Nothing, it's just—I can't help it. Seeing those eyes just staring at you…blank, but menacing…it creeps me out."

Yuugi snorted. "Try standing it when it's also roaring bloody murder at you."

"…Good point."

We walked past it very briskly. I opened the door—and we emerged into sunlight that was, for a moment, much too bright.

Yuugi shaded his eyes. "Ooh—turn off the sun!"

I squinted down the street. "Man, I can't believe it's over already!" I was having fun. Trekking through the maze with no one around but Yuugi…

Speaking of whom—he was waving excitedly at someone. I turned around to see who he was waving at—and saw Jonouchi and Merekai approaching.

"Hey, guys!" Merekai called when they got close enough.

Jonouchi looked over our shoulders. "You guys went in dere too, huh? Cool! Did ya see all dose Duel Monsters?"

"Yep!" I replied cheerfully. "I even saw my Cosmo Queen!"

Jonouchi looked strangely at me. "You duel?" I rolled my eyes and nodded.

Suddenly, I grinned. "Hey, Jonouchi—what did you do, see the Blue-Eyes and run for cover?"

"Yeah, he did!" Merekai giggled. "He looked over his shoulder, saw it, and ran!"

Jonouchi gave her a playful shove. "Did not!"

Yuugi smiled a little. "Tell the truth, Jonouchi."

The blond rolled his eyes. "Awright, I did—but I tell ya, I coulda sworn it was Kaiba settin' it out on me!" He looked around eagerly. "You guys wanna go ride da bumper cars?"

Yuugi and I winced. "No thanks!" we said quickly.

"Dustil forced me to go on that ride over and over," Yuugi explained, "and Sonja didn't want to go anywhere near them with Damien."

I grinned. "I swear, my brother drives worse than Duke… You know him as Otogi," I added quickly.

Jonouchi groaned. "I'm sick just thinkin' about dat!"

I smirked. "Exactly. Besides, I'm hungry!"

Yuugi laughed. "So'm I—and I'm sure you two know where the best concession stands are."

Merekai laughed. "Yeah we do! Come on—you should try this one stand's chocolate-covered waffles!"

Miriku POV

Yami looked around. "Are you sure we're going in the right direction?"

I shrugged. "Not in the least. But who cares? It's a fair—last I checked, getting lost wasn't that much of an issue."

"…If you say so…"

"I know so."

Yami continued to look uneasily around as we walked along.

"Come on, Yami, hurry up! I want to get to Arnold Hall! They might have that Egypt shop open!"

Yami sped up. "Egypt shop?"

I nodded. "Yeah—with all kinds of cool stuff!"

Yami grinned a little. "Sounds good. What time is it right now?"

I glanced at my phone—and did a double-take. "Holy crap! It's six forty-five!"

Yami's eyes widened. "Already!"

I looked frantically around. "We gotta get back to the entrance!"

"And you said getting lost was nothing to worry about," Yami muttered sourly as we started off.

"Oh, shut up."

OooO

"We've already been this way!" Yami exclaimed, looking around. "I told you we had gone in a circle!"

I rolled my eyes. He had been like this for the past five minutes. I was about to tune him out, when—

"Ra, Miriku—do you even listen to what I'm telling you! I swear, sometimes I think you haven't even got a brain!"

I stopped. And turned. "In case you hadn't noticed," I said coolly, "that isn't the same kiddie coaster as before. And if you'd bothered to look up, the exit is right there in front of your damn face. Now if you don't mind, let's go."

Without waiting for a response, I turned and stomped off. What the hell was that all about!, my brain was screaming.

I ignored him calling my name. That…had hurt…

"Hi," I said shortly to Sonja and Yuugi as we approached. Everyone else was already there, and appeared to have been for a while.

Bakura rolled his eyes. "Thanks for being on time," he said sarcastically.

I glared at him. "Shut your hole, tomb robber."

Bakura smirked. "What, am I annoying you?"

"Apparently, you are," Mikey said dryly.

Bakura looked at her. "Listen, you—just because you're my hikari's girlfriend doesn't mean you get to tell me what to do!"

Damien rolled his eyes. "Can we go now, please? The place closes in three minutes, plus I'd like to go home and have dinner."

Ryou nodded. "Yeah—we'll drop you all off."

"Good," I muttered, massaging my head. I was starting to get a major headache.

I noticed people were looking strangely at me, but ignored it. I didn't particularly care.

"I swear, sometimes I think you haven't even got a brain!"

That was harsh. Way harsh. I hadn't even done anything. I had known what I was doing. If he had just asked…

I barely even realized I was home until I flopped down on the couch, closing my eyes. Stupid, stuck-up pharaoh…

I was probably overreacting. But I didn't care. He had just completely downgraded me from human to something less…

o.O;; Someone's getting a little angsty...

Review, please! Sugar cookies for you all! And here's the song!

Ashita Moshi Kimi ga Kowaretemo
Even If Tomorrow Dies

Call my name,
That voice of someone calling
The deep sadness of the darkness
Your pale skin fills me with light...

Without knowing if it was black or white
I wonder if this type of love is old-fashioned?
For the entire day
We just waited for the sunrise...

Even if you could shatter tomorrow
I won't run from this place
It cures the fatigue of my body
Your smile...

Lonely heart,
Feelings beyond my control
It's like a wide hole has opened
Unable to control myself,
I became angry at something...

I can't forget that love--
That's what you had said when we first met
Your face hides your true intentions
Is there any redemption for me?

Even if you could shatter tomorrow
I guess that I'd still keep wandering
Loving you, I discovered for the first time,
That fear of losing you...

Even if you could shatter tomorrow
Even if I should lose my sight
We'll start walking
In those times, when we were at peace...

It's a ghost of you...
