Hello again! I hope everyone is doing well, especially with how the world is right now. This chapter was something I had wanted to play with and, because they say the tournament is supposed to last a week, I wanted to add another day to this!

*I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! I only own my OC, Christine. If you see anything you recognize, I don't own that either.*

I was annoyed when the alarm went off but quickly turned it off when Yugi made a groan. How could I have forgotten why I had the alarm in the first place?!

"Christine?" Yugi groaned sleepily. "What's going on?"

His eyes were fluttering between open and closed. He was probably only half-awake right now. Pure exhaustion was kicking the poor boy's butt.

"Nothing, Yugi." I replied softly, sliding a hand through his hair. "I just forgot to turn off the alarm last night. Go back to sleep."

Yugi hummed, his eyes fully closing again. It took a minute but the boy finally fell back asleep. I kept brushing his hair for an extra minute to make sure but the boy was definitely unconscious. "Phew." I breathed. "That was a close one."

Making sure I remained quiet, I tip toed around the room gathering everything I needed for today. I left quietly as well, saying a soft goodbye to the sleeping Yugi.

Anzu was waiting in the living room of our hotel room. Her stuff clutched in her hands as well. She gave a nervous smile.

"Ready for this?" Anzu asked.

"I was born ready, Anzu."

We ate a quick breakfast before we headed to the park. We made use of the large bathrooms in order to get ready for our crazy day. I was dreading this hairspray though. "Anzu, can I have some help?"

My friend laughed at my attempt to spray my hair the different color. She swiped the can from me and continued on in my stead.

"Man, Yugi is going to flip when he sees you."

I gave a shaky laugh.

"I kinda hope he doesn't. I'll never hear the end of it."

Anzu laughed again. She finished spraying my hair with quick stripes of the other colors before returning to her own readiness. It took about half an hour but by the end, we looked marvelous.

We were ready to have some fun.

Yugi:

Yugi faintly remembered waking up to the screeching of the alarm clock. He also remembered Christine's soft voice telling him to go back to sleep. There was nothing after that. When he woke up next, the room was empty and he could hear Jounouchi shouting in the next room.

"Christine?" He called.

There was no answer. Only the continued sound of Jounouchi shouting in the next room.

Yugi quickly got dressed and headed into the living room. The rest of the gang, including Rebecca, Professor Hawkins and Grandpa, were all there. "What's going on?"

"We can't find Anzu!" Honda quickly said. "We've looked everywhere!"

"Is she with you, Yugi?" Grandpa asked.

Yugi shook his head. If Anzu was gone as well...

"Have you all seen Christine?" Yugi asked.

Everyone glanced around the room like they had just noticed their other friend's absence.

"She's gone too?!" Rebecca cried.

"What the hell is going on?!" Jounouchi shouted.

The blond was doing one last search of the hotel room when Mokuba walked inside, looking oddly confused.

"What's going on in here?" The younger Kaiba asked.

"We can't find Anzu or Christine." Grandpa told him.

"It's like they vanished!" Ryuji added on.

Mokuba thought for a moment, giving Jounouchi the chance to come back into the room. The boy tapped his foot for a moment before an idea hit him and pulled his tablet out.

"Why don't we see if they entered the park?" Mokuba suggested. "Their ticket stamps would have a time on them."

There was a hum of excitement as Mokuba looked over the data on his tablet. After a few taps, he found something. "Here we go, Anzu and Christine entered the park about two hours ago."

"Why would they go to the park?" Professor Hawkins asked sagely. "There aren't any duels today..."

"Let's go find them!" Rebecca cried. "I'm sure they have a reason!"

Nobody argued with her and the gang quickly gathered themselves to head into the park. With Mokuba and Yugi at the helm, they entered the large amusement park with no clear plan except look for their friends.

"Any idea where they would go?" Honda asked.

"The park is huge!" Mokuba sighed. "They could be anywhere by now!"

"Then we best get looking!" Jounouchi cried.

That's what they ended up doing. They practically walked from one end of the park to the other, eyes peeled for Christine's identifiable blonde hair. While they didn't find her, they did end up finding Leon.

"Hey, guys!" The younger boy chirped. "What's brought you to the park today?"

"We're looking for Anzu and Christine." Yugi replied. "Have you seen them?"

Leon thought for a moment, bringing a hand to his chin. It wasn't long before he shook his head.

"Nope, can't say I have."

The gang sighed. "But I did hear Christine's voice not too long ago." That brought up their spirits.

"Where was she?"

Leon turned to point to the line headed up to an ice cream seller.

"She was over that direction but when I turned around, she wasn't there."

Her voice was there but she wasn't?

Yugi looked around and suddenly realized that many of the people meandering the park weren't dressed normally. They were dressed like... the contestants... He kept this thought to himself as Jounouchi suddenly spoke.

"Do ya know where they went off to next?" Jounouchi asked.

"I can't say for sure but I thought I heard something about a ride?"

"And knowing Christine, she'd want to go on the biggest one there was." Grandpa added.

The gang looked to Mokuba who simply pointed towards the large Blue Eyes ride nearly a quarter of the way across the park. It was exactly the thing Christine would want to ride.

They interrogated the man at the entrance to see if their friends had been there but the man shook his head.

"I haven't seen anybody like that." He replied politely with a shrug of his shoulders.

The gang sighed. "But lots of people are in costume. Do your friends do cosplay?"

"One does." Ryuji replied, looking to the rest of the gang.

"Then I bet she's dressed as one of the competitors. Isn't it the day for that?"

The man looked to Mokuba for the answer to that and the boy nodded.

"I thought it would be a fun addition to the tournament week and Seto agreed." Mokuba clarified. "People can dress up as the competitors of the tournament, Duel Monsters or anybody they want."

"Which means they could be dressed as anybody!" Jounouchi whined.

They quickly thanked the man before heading back into the park. With Jounouchi and Honda complaining the whole way, they eventually decided to stop at a small café to sit and have something to eat.

"They must be walking fast in order to evade us so quickly." Professor Hawkins sighed as he sipped his drink.

"Christine does walk fast when she's excited." Rebecca told her Grandfather. "You should've seen her when I pointed out that store the other day."

Yugi sighed as he took a bite out of his burger. Why would they leave without saying anything? Did they not want to be seen today?

"Mokuba!" Kaiba's voice suddenly cut through the silence.

The gang all looked up to see the CEO, wearing his white suit, walking over to them.

"Seto!" Mokuba cried, racing over to him.

"What are you doing?"

"I was helping Yugi find Anzu and Christine. They're in the park somewhere."

Kaiba was silent at that. He kept his eyes fixed on Mokuba but Yugi saw a twinge of something. Laughter? "Have you seen them?" The twinge faded at that.

"Why would I be actively seeking them out? I'm not their babysitter."

"Come on, Rich boy!" Jounouchi complained. "Have you at least seen them?"

"Even if I did, why would I tell an underdog like you?"

That made Jounouchi growl. It still didn't take long for Kaiba to rile him up. The CEO gave a short laugh before looking to Mokuba. "I'm headed back to the office. If something goes wrong, let me know."

"Right!" Mokuba chirped.

Jounouchi continued to growl as Kaiba walked away. Yugi watched Kaiba leave, thoughts fixed on the twinge he had seen. Kaiba wasn't telling them something.

After getting something to eat, the gang continued on their hunt around the park. It was nearly sunset when Jounouchi gave a loud sigh.

"I have no idea where they are!" The blond sighed.

"They may have gone back to the hotel by now." Ryuji sighed as well. "Should we head back?"

"Might as well." Honda agreed.

Yugi was about to agree when two female park goers left one of the shops and were quickly walking past them. They were in costume with one identifiable as Kaiba but the other one... Yugi figured that they were in a hurry because there was a show starting nearby soon but his other self quickly perked up.

'Partner. Could I have control for a moment?'

'Huh? Uh... sure.'

The Pharaoh took control, casually turned his head towards the two girls and called out the pet name of his girlfriend.

"Mereret." Yami huffed and the reaction was immediate.

The second cosplayer flinched, stopping dead in her tracks, then gave a loud sigh.

"We've been caught." The girl sighed and the gang realized it was Christine dressed as Yugi, school uniform and all.

"Ya should have expected it." Anzu's voice then appeared from the voice of the girl dressed as Kaiba.

"Yeah..."

Christine straightened and turned to face the gang with a cheeky smile. Instead of her green eyes, amethyst contacts greeted them. Her blonde hair had been covered in tri-colored hair spray so it was practically unidentifiable. Around her neck was an impressive copy of the Millennium Puzzle. "Hi, guys. Fancy seeing you here."

"Why are you dressed like that?!" Jounouchi barked.

"Hah? Meg and I heard about this and thought it'd be fun. Since she's not here to be Kaiba, I managed to get Anzu to do it."

All eyes turned to Anzu, who smiled nervously. "Any other dumb questions?"

"Did anyone else see you?" Ryuji asked.

Christine hummed, bringing a hand to her chin. Her now tri-colored hair shifted as she tilted her head.

"I saw Leon while we were getting ice cream but he didn't seem to see us. I blame the hair. Roland saw us and did a double take."

"Kaiba saw us..." Anzu added on.

"Yeah!" Christine burst into laughter. "Recognized us immediately! It was hysterical!"

"I knew he saw something!" Jounouchi growled. "Why didn't he say anything?!"

"We asked him not to."

"Why?!"

Christine pointed to her hair.

"This. Just... this..."

"It was an impressive set-up, let me tell you." Anzu added. "The bathroom reeked of hairspray when we were done."

Christine groaned, like she was remembering the smell of hairspray.

"I swear, it's still in my nose!"

She turned around and began to skip back into the park.

"Mereret... where are you going?" Yami huffed.

Christine turned back around. The different colored eyes were a definite shock when he was expecting her green ones.

"Anzu and I took pictures with some of the photographers. I was going to check them out."

Anzu gave a squeak before racing after Christine. "We'll catch up with you all later."

"Oh no!" Jounouchi barked. "We aren't leaving you alone!"

"Fine fine!"

After Christine and Anzu bought their pictures, they wanted to head back to the hotel. Nobody argued; they were tired from searching all day.

Yugi entered the hotel room while Christine was in the shower to grab his dueling deck so he and Jounouchi could play. Yugi made it a quick trip but the Pharaoh was caught on the soft singing coming from the bathroom. It was faint over the running water but he heard music and singing but just over it. Christine was singing along. He didn't know the song nor could he hear the words but he was frozen even as Yugi dashed out of the room, wanting to listen. The sound of it made the barest of memories return to his mind but they faded away just as they appeared.

After another minute, the water shut off. The music continued to play, slightly less covered up by the sound of water. That was the moment Yugi realized he was still in there and madly called him, not wanting to have any strange thoughts echoing in his head. The Pharaoh chuckled at the bright blush that most likely covered Yugi's face but did leave. Yugi came back an hour later, when he and Jounouchi were done playing, and crept into the room. "Hey, Yugi." Christine was sitting at the desk with the small computer in pajamas. Her hair was back to its blonde color but there were some darker stripes where the hairspray hadn't come loose yet. "Dueling with Jounouchi?"

"Yep! He's getting really good."

"He's gonna have to work a lot harder to be able to beat you."

Yugi chuckled and nodded at the words. "Hey, be honest with me, Yugi, how much hairspray do I have left in my hair?"

"Only a bit. Faint stripes here and there."

"Oh, that's ok."

Christine looked back to her computer, typed for a moment before closing her windows and shutting it down.

"Sending pictures to Meg?"

"Yep. She would appreciate seeing the fruits of her labor."

Christine then got to her feet, grabbing the brush that she had brought with her to the computer and sliding it through her hair a few times to make sure it is fully brushed. She made herself scarce as he got himself ready for bed but, before heading to sleep, she was asking him another question. "Hey, Yugi?"

"Yeah?"

"Was Yami in here when I was in the shower?"

Yugi's face was tomato red and his denial sent his voice at least four octaves higher. "Really?"

"Yep!"

There was a moment of quiet laughter from his partner's girlfriend/wife but she didn't tease him further.

"Ok. I believe you. I just could've sworn I felt something."

There was another moment of bright blushing before Christine ruffled his hair with a laugh before wishing him goodnight.

He should have thrown the Pharaoh under the bus, if only to get some payback for his bright red face.

Thanks for reading! See you all next time!
