Misha sat in a secluded corner reading Eldest. Almost there. Almost to the end of the book. She thought to herself eagerly.
Tambre walked by after having checked on Macy's condition. "Macy is still out cold."
"Shh! I must finish reading this book. I've procrastinated to long and I'm so close!" Misha hushed.
"You pick now to finish reading that book! What about all the other stuff you have to do. Like the movie and…" Tambre began to rant.
"I know, I know but… I finished reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince which did not upset me cause my favorite character has already been killed off. Lupin survived so I was happy, however… I'm not too sure about Snape… anywho! I want to finish reading Eldest before we go on." Misha explained.
"What's so important about that book anyway? It's just a stupid book," Seto scoffed.
"Is not! I have to see what happens to my favorite character. I know he comes back cause I read ahead a bit to see if he does. Just let me finish!" Misha begged.
"Oh… all right but hurry up." Tambre sighed.
"Don't worry. I'm a fast reader." Misha smiled.
About a hour later… or was it a half hour?
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
The cast jumps and looks around for the source of the wail.
"Dear Ra! What was that!" Marik shouted over the noise, covering his ears.
"I'm scared big brother!" Mokuba clung to Seto's leg.
"Tambre! Go see what that racket is!" Seto ordered.
"I think we're about to find out." Tambre replied and then pointed to a figure exiting out of a trailer.
Misha sulked out of the trailer, tears running down her cheeks. "Why? Why? Why?" she muttered to herself out loud.
"What happened?" Tea asked.
"It happened again…" Misha muttered.
"What happened? What is she talking about?" Mai inquired.
"Misha are you okay?" Tambre asked.
"Okay? Okay! No I am not okay! Something bad happened to my favorite character AGAIN!" Misha began to sob.
"Was it another Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix bad?" Tambre asked.
"Does anyone know of this Harry Potter that they speak of?" Marik asked the rest of the cast.
Everyone either ignored Marik or shrugged a response.
"No, but it was still bad! My favorite character… he… he… AH! That stupid, evil King! I hope Eragon knocks off your head! AHHHH!" Misha yelled at the book and began swinging it up and down as though she were hitting something or someone with it. "Curse you! Curse you! Curse you! Curse you!"
"Misha it can't be that bad," Tambre soothed.
"It can't be that bad! Tambre, something bad happens to all my favorite characters!" Pointing at Seto, "You got your soul stolen, got Mokuba kidnapped about four or five times, get trapped in a virtual reality game TWICE, and then get turned to stone!"
"Thanks for the reminder," Seto muttered, narrowing his eyes at Misha.
Pointing at Marik, "You get tattoos painfully engraved upon your body as a boy, your body gets taken over by your dark spirit and then get sent to the shadow realm!"
Looking away shamefully, "I'm not proud of any of that."
Pointing at Ryo, "You get your soul put into a card, get your body taken over by an evil spirit against your will; granted that your yami is pretty cool but you don't enjoy it, AND you get sent to the shadow realm!"
Ryo just stared at Misha in shock.
"Miroku has his wind tunnel that would probably engulf him and kill him, my favorite character dies in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Jareth looses and gets turned into an Owl in Labyrinth, Captain Jack Sparrow gets stabbed and cursed in Pirates of the Caribbean, my favorite character turns out to be the murderer in Secret Window and Brigham City and…" Misha ranted off with her fingers.
"All right, all right! We get it! You can't have any favorite characters because something bad happens to them or they just plain die!" Seto interrupted. "No wonder so many things happen to me; I'm one of your favorite characters!"
"Glad I'm not your favorite character." Duke said as he twirled one of his bangs. "Wait… why am I not your favorite character? Am I not hot enough for you?"
"Quite frankly, no." Misha answered bluntly.
Duke stared in shock and then promptly fainted. Joey and Tristan smile devilishly and drag Duke away and lock him in the closet with Pegasus.
"Wasn't he in there from the last fanfic?" Tambre asked herself out loud.
"Maybe." Joey grinned sheepishly.
"Does it make a difference?" Tristan pointed out.
"True." Tambre nodded.
The rest of the cast agreed full heartedly.
"Um… guys… shouldn't we get back to the movie anyways? I mean… we're still not through the beginning of the movie. We haven't even gotten through the twister yet." Marik reminded.
"We'll get to it soon. Consider this a lunch break." Tambre replied.
"Yay!" Joey and Tristan cheer and then head for the phone to order pizza again.
"You dweebs better not be ordering pizza with my money!" Seto yelled and then followed after them.
Marik stole Seto's cell phone and proceeded to order Chinese food. Mai went into her dressing room to do her make-up. Tea tried to pry Yugi's millennium puzzle out of Serenity's door. Odeon found some corner to meditate in. Ishizu found her brother and tried to get Seto's phone away from him. Mokuba raided Misha's backpack for more cookies.
Ryo walked up to Misha and Tambre and handed a handkerchief to Misha. "Here Misha, it's all right."
"Thank you Ryo." Misha sniffled, accepting the handkerchief. "Why does this always happen to my favorite characters? I don't know anyone else who has this problem."
"At least it's not stopping you from watching your favorite shows, movies and reading the book series." Tambre pointed out.
Misha sniffled, "I need a hug."
Tambre hugged her.
Then Ryo hugged her. Misha looked at him in surprise and then smiled. "Thank you Ryo. You're too nice."
"You were there for me Misha. I should return the favor." Ryo smiled.
Misha gleamed and then hugged him back which soon turned into a squeeze. "I love you sooooo much!"
Ryo blushed, "Um.. Misha… you're… hurting me."
"Oh sorry." Misha let him go.
"How are you feeling now?" Tambre asked.
"I feel…" Misha stood up. "I feel so much better now! Yeah! I'm back! In fact…" Misha then sped away.
"What is doing?" Ryo wondered out loud.
Just then, they see Misha running across the set wearing Seto's trench coat. "YAY! GRAVITY DEFINING-NESS!" Misha squealed.
Seto wasn't far behind trying to retrieve his coat. "Come back here with that!"
"NO!"
"She's back." Tambre sighed.
"But not to normal." Ryo added.
"Actually this is about as normal as she can get." Tambre watched the chase and then shook her head.
"I think someone should try to wake Macy again." Ryo suggested.
"Good idea." Tambre sped off to do so. "The movie will never get finished at this rate."
