Angelina: "Finally! Today is the day we finish ArcOver Tattletail!"

Yugo: "I thought it was called-"

Angelina: "No it wasn't. Shut up. Anyway! There's just one last thing we need to do before we can really get things in motion?"

Yuri: "And that would be?"

(Angelina grabs a bucket that was filled with what looked like water and threw it on Yugo and Yuri.)

Yuri: "Ahh! What the hell?!"

Yugo: "Angel! I already took my bath!"

Angelina: "Oh, I know."

(Angelina grabs a second bucket.)

Angelina: "Yuya! Yuto! Can you guys come here for a second?!"

(Yuya and Yuto appear around the corner, holding their scripts.)

Yuya: "What's up, Angel? Me and Yuto were just going over our lines for the-"

(Angelina throws the bucket of water on them.)

Yuto: "Umm...okay then..."

(Yuto wipes the water from his face.)

Yuya: "Good thing we got extra copies."

(He sighs as he throws his wet script into the trash along with Yuya's.)

Yuri: "Is there any point to this? Or are you just getting a kick out of throwing water on people?"

Yugo: "Umm...guys? Does Angel look...taller to you?"

Yuto: "What? Yugo, what are you...?"

(The boys froze when they saw Yugo. He had shrink! It looked to be half his size.)

Yuya: "Yugo! What happen?!"

Yugo: "You think I know?!"

Angelina: "Everyone, calm down. I just threw a little Youth Water on you."

Yuto: "Youth Water?"

Angelina: "Yeah. From the Fountain of Youth. In the play you guys are suppose to look a lot younger so I came up with a solution for that."

Yuri: "By literally making us younger?"

Angelina: "Great plan, right? Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go find the Bracelet Girls."

(Angelina picks up another pair of buckets and leaves. Yugo looks back at the others to see that the Youth Water had finally taken effect on them as well. At that moment, Fable, Zarc, and Ray walk in.)

Zarc: "Hey, are we ready to start or...what the hell happen to you?"

Yuya / Yuto / Yugo / Yuri: "Angel..."

Zarc: "Figures..."

Ray: "Awwww! You all look so adorable! Even Yuri!"

Yuri: "I did not agree to this!"

Yuya: "As...weird as this is, we should probably get started. This Youth Water does wear off after some time, right Fable?"

Fable: "Uhh..."

Yuto: "Fable, Yuya is right...right?"

Fable: "Youth Water is a strange thing..."

(Fable laughs uneasily.)

Yugo: "What do you mean?"

Yuri: "Explain yourself."

Fable: "O-Oh! Curtain's rising! Zarc, you're up!"


December 20th

~5 Days Before Christmas~

It was late in the Sakaki's household, almost midnight. The boys had been put to bed and the only one who was left awake was the eldest brother, Zarc. He was busy setting presents down in the basement. The gifts were from Ray Akaba, a close friend of his's. He would have put the presents under the tree like what you're supposed to do during Christmas time, but since he was five days early he decided to hide them in the basement. Zarc was still getting to know his younger brothers but he knew that at least one of them had an impatient streak.

With the presents hiding down here, the boys were less likely to see them and be tempted to open them. Once Zarc got the last present tucked away on the old wooden table in the back room he turned to leave. He quietly walked through the musky basement, flick off the light switch, went up the creaky stairs, and shut the door behind him when he reached the top. The house was dark and nearly dead silent. The only sounds were of Zarc's feet on the wooden floor and the tick-tock of the grandfather clock in the living room. Zarc went up another flight of stairs to the second floor. His room was the last door on the left hallway.

Connected to his room was his own private bathroom. Before changing into his sleepwear for the night Zarc went into his medicine cabinet and took down a pill bottle. He opened it up and pulled a small white pill from it. He sighed but swallowed it down anyway. Ever since the death of his parents, Zarc had been having trouble sleeping. His doctor had given him sleeping medication to help him, although he wasn't much too fond of it.

The only reason he took it was because of Ray, who kept on insisting that he does what the doctor has ordered, and for the sake of his brothers. Zarc ran a hand through his hair as he thought about his four 'brothers' that he didn't know existed until just a few months ago. You see, Zarc was a famous pro duelist. He started traveling the world just last year. However, apparently, while Zarc was traveling, his parents, Yusho and Yoko had adopted 4 orphan boys.

They never said anything to him, wanting to surprise him when he returned home, but that didn't end up happening.

There was a car accident. A truck had hit their car dead on. Yuya, the youngest of the 4, was spared from the accident, having been staying after school with his theater club. Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri have all been in the backseat, but aside from some minor injuries, they were fine. Their parents had received the worst of it. They didn't survive due to their injuries.

It was a lot for Zarc to take in. His parents were suddenly dead and since he was the oldest sibling the responsibility fell on him to take care of his new brothers. If it wasn't for Ray and her family, Zarc doesn't know what he would have done.

Zarc got dressed in his nightwear and once that was done he crawled into bed. Before shutting off the lights, Zarc opens the drawer in the side table where his duel deck is. Zarc wasn't just known as a professional duelist for his skills. He was also known for his ability to speak to his duel monsters.

Connect to his deck more than just on a physical level. A lot of people didn't believe that he could hear his duel monsters but Zarc didn't pay them any mind. His deck was like a second family to him.

"Night guys. I'll see you all in the morning." Zarc smiles as his monsters gave him their own good nights. He shuts the drawer and turns off the lights. In a week Christmas will be upon them. This would be Zarc's first Christmas with his 4 brothers but also his first Christmas without his parents.

"I wonder how this week is going to turn out?" Zarc thought as he closed his eyes and drifted off into sleep.


Author Notes: During my...I guess we'll call it 'break', I rewrote 'Let's Play: Tattletail' into 'ArcOver Tattletail'. The ending is different from the one I had plan originally. So to make it easier on everyone, including myself, I'm just gonna post the whole story. This story has been long overdue.

The chapters I posted already (Chapters 1 - 4) I don't think have much changes, but it wouldn't hurt to reread them.
