Stakeshipping (Mai x Keith)
(Just some random American tournament that both Mai and Keith are in...)
Mai Kujaku was not in the best of moods. She had played badly during her last round; she had won, but that didn't matter. She hadn't pulled it off with her usual ease and grace. If she wanted to win this tournament, she would have to pull herself back together.
"I had my doubts when I heard there was a lady duelist here, but I guess the rumors are true!"
Judging by the comment, the gravelly tone of voice, and the unmistakable stench of cigarettes mixed with alcohol, it was yet another stupid blockhead of a man that for some reason thought she couldn't play a card game because she was female.
She spun on her heel to face him. Sure enough, he was a tall, blond man with sunglasses and a five o'clock shadow, obviously trying to create some kind of American stereotype in his motorcycle jacket and American flag headband. He sent her a wide grin.
"So, maybe I'll be facing you in this tournament, honey. What's your name again? Don't be too upset if you lose...I'll make it up to you with dinner afterwards."
Mai sent him a big, fake smile.
"Go to hell, you braggart," she said in Japanese.
He laughed shortly.
"I haven't lived with my fingers in my ears," he said. "I've played a game or two up in the old Jap home."
"Oh, good, he has some brains," Mai said, as though talking to someone else. "I was worried I might have to explain everything I do in my match to him, like how to use Pot of Greed."
The man frowned. Mai smiled to herself. Not so cocky anymore, huh?
"You might want to watch your step, little lady," he said. "Or I might not take it easy on you."
He shoved past her, nearly making her lose her balance.
"Don't push a girl in heels," she muttered, stalking back in the other direction.
A/N: Okay, I admit it. The Pot of Greed thing is one of my favorite jokes. XD It's like, in every English dub Yu-Gi-Oh episode, whenever they use Pot of Greed, they are obligated to say: "This allows me to draw two cards!" No crap, Einstein! It's not like we didn't get it the first five hundred times. So therefore, I found that overly hilarious out of this whole short dialogue. Okay, next is Sprayshipping (Seto x Ryouta x Shizuka).
