Disclaimer: I own nada! For those of you who do not know Spanish (I'm not saying this to be conceited) 'nada' means nothing. So, I'm back with this random story thanks to the urging of a good friend. I've also hit the ten-review mark thanks to this friend! Thanks to all who reviewed! Onward with the story!
Cosplay, Crushes, and Closets
Luna stretched as she rose up from the couch where she spent some time reading manga, although this manga is better known as Fullmetal Alchemist. She was also listening to commentary from her Yami. Crystal was residing in the back of Luna's mind, resting up for the show.
/ "Hikari, who's your favorite Fullmetal Alchemist character?" / Crystal asked via mind link.
Luna didn't feel like answering through the mind link so she spoke out loud. "I like Edward, of course."
/ "Really? I like Mustang, 'cause he's awesome with his fire alchemy." / Crystal responded in surprise.
"Eh, he's OK. I still think Ed pwns all."
/ "Oooh, you have an evil plot don't you?" / Crystal said once she saw the thought that flashed across her Hikari's mind.
"Oh, yes I have an evil plot. And I do love a good cosplay…" Luna snickered evilly as she slinked off to begin her 'evil' plot.
"What the hell, Luna?" Bakura asked when he and his Hikari arrived at her house.
"What? I like Ed." Luna said as she tugged on her white gloves.
"Yeah, I know that you liked that manga but… isn't this pushing it a little too far?" Bakura said as he pointed at Luna.
"Look who's talking 'albino-hair'. I like to cosplay, so I'm cosplaying as Ed! And it came out pretty well might I add."
"Yeah, but… Did Crystal really have to dress up as Colonel Mustang?"
"Yes." The navy-eyed Yami responded.
"So… you… are going to cosplay as Edward Elric during this interview?" Ryou asked, while hesitating at some parts.
"Yeah, does that bother you?" Luna asked while fidgeting with her wig.
"Kinda, I mean I have a crush on you and since you're dressed up as Ed, isn't that like Ya-" Luna cut Ryou off.
"You say the word and I dye your hair purple with my alchemy powers." Luna responded darkly.
Ryou gulped. "Well, I mean-" He was cut off once more.
"Would you prefer it if I cosplayed as Winry and you as Ed?" Luna asked him, her voice seeming quite irritated.
"Yes." Ryou sighed.
"Not happening. Although…" Luna left the sentence hanging. Then, she pulled out wrench.
"What're you doing with that? Oh no… Please-!" Ryou screamed as Luna smacked him on the head with the wrench.
"Now I know why Winry does that. So refreshing." Luna sighed joyfully.
Luna and her yami changed back into their normal clothes and put their cosplays away. Everyone was waiting in the interview room when Luna and Crystal came back in from their clothes change. They all noticed that Luna was carrying a small box along with her.
"What's in there?" Marik asked curiously.
"Oh I'm so glad you asked, Marik! You see, in this box," Luna ripped open the box and pulled out a pair of gloves with a weird circle array on them. "Here I have Colonel Roy Mustang's flame gloves. And I have three pairs of them!"
"Can I ask where you got them?" Bakura questioned.
Luna looked at Crystal and giggled. "My secret, you'll never find out."
= - - - - Meanwhile in Amestris - - - - =
"Hawkeye, have you seen my three pairs of gloves? I can't find them anywhere…" Mustang asked his subordinate.
"I haven't, sir." Hawkeye responded.
"Gah, I hope I find them soon…"
"I'm sure you will, sir. I'm sure you will."
= - - - - Back in the Interview Room - - - - =
"Ahem," Luna smiled. "Now onto the show. My friend is coming over but she's running late… but we'll read some of the dares she sent us." Luna grabbed the first letter.
"So? What is it?" Crystal inquired.
"Oooh, this'll be good…" Luna giggled evilly. "Ever heard of the game 'Seven Minutes in Heaven'? That's the dare."
Everyone blushed at the thought.
"First, oh this will be really good. Bakura and Crystal? Closet number one please!"
Both yamis looked at each other then walked into the closet.
"Seven minutes, starting… NOW!" Luna shouted.
= - - - - Seven awkward, silent minutes later…. - - - - =
Both yamis emerged with a bright blush across both their faces. Crystal's ponytail was extremely messy and her hair was more erratic than usual. Bakura was smiling with a huge, goofy grin and his hair looked more ruffled than usual.
"How was it?" Luna asked slyly.
Both yamis looked at each other before answering simultaneously. "Fun."
"Bakura, your shirt's on backwards." Luna commented.
"Oh, please excuse that." Bakura turned bright red and so did Crystal. Everyone laughed.
"Anyone wondering what they actually did in there?" Marik said laughing.
"Shut it, Ishtar!" Bakura's reaction only made everyone laugh even more. Crystal simply walked over to Marik, pulled out one of her flame gloves and slapped Marik with it.
"Problem solved." She stated happily.
"What the hell? Why didn't you just slap me with your hand?" Marik asked.
"Cause, I saw that glove-slap thing in a movie. Right, Hikari?" Luna nodded. Then they heard rain and thunder from outside.
"Nyuuu…. I hate it when it rains…" Luna said sadly.
"'Nyuuu'?" Ryou questioned Luna about the word she made up.
"I dunno, I'm bored." She shrugged.
"Well, you did start this messed up fanfic so I guess you're pretty bored." Duke mumbled.
"Hey, Duke!" Luna chirped.
"What?" The black-haired teen asked.
"FIRE!" Luna snapped her fingers together and the gloves instantly sparked causing Duke's perfect hair to catch on fire. "These things are awesome!" Luna said happily.
"NOOOOOOOO! My beautiful hair!" Duke screeched. Luna's huskies, along with the help of Joey and Tristian, brought in a fire extinguisher and sprayed the teen's hair with foam. Needless to say, Duke was missing some hair patches.
"Hmm, nice one, Hikari." Crystal commented.
"Thank you, Yami." Luna responded.
"Hey, Seto you've been quiet for a while." Ryou told him.
"Oh, I've been chatting with my girlfriend." Seto was about to smile.
"Nuh-uh, you aren't going to smile at all because then puppies will die and I'll get blamed for it."
"Huh? Oh my girlfriend wants to ask something. 'Does Mokuba hate me now that I'm dating his brother? I want him to be my BFF.'"
"Well, Mokuba's been kidnapped again, but we know his wherabouts. He was captured by the ninja pizza men." Luna explained.
"Figures…" Both Yami and Yugi sighed.
"Shut up, starfish. Now as I was saying, the ninja pizza men allowed us to talk to him and he said that he doesn't hate you and that you were very pretty." The sky-blue eyed girl concluded.
"So… He's Kanae's best friend?" Bakura asked.
"It would seem so. Kanae has another question for Yami and Yugi."
"The joys of life…" Yugi said sarcastically.
"It reads 'How many duels have you been in? And, how many times has some crazy psychopath tried to kill you/send you to the Shadow Realm?'. We lost count after 2000. Psychopaths have tied to kill us at least fifteen times, give or take." Atem responded.
"Oooh! And, yes, I did enjoy my tackle hug." Seto said.
"Alrighty, that's it with Kanae's questions." Luna started but didn't finish on account of the doorbell ringing.
Bing-Bong!
"Oooh! The door rang!" Tristian said in a stupid fashion.
Everyone looked at Marik to see if he was going to say a smart response. "What? I used up my good comeback. And plus, I have nothing to say to that thing." Marik stated in a as-a-matter-a-fact-ly tone. Everyone nodded in agreement.
Luna opened her door. "Hi, Creel! Creel, your makeup…"
"I know. I was at a party when you called, but I came anyways. Oh, and I brought the sledge hammer, my cat with the automail claws, and 'No Disappear!' spray."
Luna allowed the soaking wet girl to come in. Creel (you may already know her from Dragons of Chaos) had long, blonde hair and piercing violet eyes. She was extremely tall, and towered over Seto.
"Alright, your first gift!" Luna cheered. "A kitten!"
= - - - - Meanwhile in Amestris - - - - =
"Brother? Have you seen the black kitten I found yesterday?"
"No, but I say good riddance."
"How could you be so mean? I hate you, Edward!"
"What the-! Al get back here! Think about the cats still in your armor!"
"I'm the only one who is!"
= - - - - Back in the Interview Room - - - - =
"Awww… What a cutie!" Creel squealed as she was handed the kitty.
"Ok, your dares and questions?" Luna urged.
"Oh, right. May I?" She asked. Luna nodded. Creel picked up her sledgehammer and whirled it at full force right at Marik. And we can all guess where it landed.
"AIIIIIEEEEE!" Marik screeched before crumpling to the ground.
"That was fun. By the way, where's Melvin?"
"Eh, we sent him to the looney bin." Luna answered.
"Darn. I want to slap him for making a move on you."
"Aw, thanks. Second gift: Roy's gloves!" Luna said as she passed them to Creel who took them and smiled.
= - - - - Meanwhile in Amestris… - - - - =
"I STILL CAN'T FIND THOSE DAMN GLOVES! AHHHHH!"
= - - - - Back in the Interview Room - - - - =
"Third gift!" Luna exclaimed while Creel smiled. Luna opened a window while Creel picked up Joey and threw him out the now-opened window.
"Yay. Oooop. I only have one cat… What about the fourth dare?" Creel asked sadly.
"Don't worry! That kitten has automail claws and gets really upset if you pull its tail! So unleash the kitten-ness!" Crystal told her.
"Ooh, yay… The fourth dare is: Seven Minutes in Heaven. Marik with my cat and Joey with my kitten!" Just then Joey walked back into the room with twigs and the like in his hair.
"I'm back!" He yelled.
"Good, we needed you for a dare." Creel told him. She picked him up and then grabbed Marik for his turn to go in the closet.
Before Marik was thrown into the closet, Crystal whispered to him. "Consider this payback for sticking your nose where it doesn't belong. Now it's gonna get scratched."
"Seven minutes… GO!" Luna yelled.
= - - - - Seven horrible, scream-filled minutes later… - - - - =
Both teens were allowed to get out of the closet. Both of them had severe scratches and bites and needed to be tested for rabies. For some reason, they had third-degree burns. Creel, Luna, and Crystal smiled at their handiwork. And it was all thanks to Roy's gloves.
"Alright," Creel turned her gaze at Ryou and Luna. "You two, closet one."
Ryou smiled but Luna kept an emotionless face.
= - - - - Seven minutes of complete silence later… - - - - =
"So…. What did you to do?" Bakura asked darkly, which caused Crystal to blush and giggle madly. (Although, he probably could have just looked through his Hikari's thoughts).
"I gave him a hug, and he told me about the time you walked around his apartment in just a towel when people were cleaning the windows. And the blinds weren't down, poor window-washers…"
"Ryou! That was never to be spoken of AGAIN!" Bakura yelled at his light.
Ryou shrugged. "Oh, well."
"Ok, then… Now time for my last dare!" Creel grabbed a razor out of her pocket. "Time to shave Ryou's head!"
Everyone gasped at the thought of a bald Ryou, especially Ryou himself and Luna.
"Uh, Creel? Let's do something else to him 'cause I don't want a bald Ryou running around, like… We could put him in a kitty suit and then throw him in a closet with both of your cats?" Luna suggested.
"Hmmm… Ok, your suggestion it is!"
Ryou was screaming in his kitty suit while Creel dragged him too his doom- I- I mean the closet! "Luna! How could you! I gave up my life for you and this is how you treat me!" Ryou was now an official cat because he was tearing up Luna's rug.
"You didn't die for me," Luna told him. "You fell of a dragon, yes, but you didn't die."
Ryou was thrown into the closet with the two cats while he was in a kitty suit.
"Seven minutes… NOW!" Luna started the timer.
= - - - - Seven scream-filled minutes later… - - - - =
Ryou came out of the closet full of scratches and bites and needed to be sent for rabies testing, while he was still in the tattered kitty suit. Everyone felt bad for him, except for Creel who was on the floor laughing.
"Creel, you're gonna have to wind down on the dares. I can't pay for all the rabies testings." Luna told her best friend.
"Oh fine…"
"Wait… Are you implying that she's going to come back?" Bakura questioned looking quite afraid.
"Well, yeah. Considering Crystal is now the equivalent of Ryou," Luna explained.
"Hey!" Ryou pouted since he was still being loaded onto the stretcher.
"We needed someone able to fight pretty well." Luna concluded.
"Oooh! Wait! I want to do something!" Creel smiled evilly. She pulled out her Flame Gloves.
"Oh, yeah. Go ahead!" Luna gave Creel clearance to do her final evil action.
Creel walked over to Bakura, her glove in hand, and slapped him with it. "That's for being an idiot." She slapped with the glove again. "That's for making me think you were Ryou." She slapped him again. "That was for denying your crush on Crystal. And this, is for existing!" Creel slapped with the glove one more time, but this time the reactive material rubbed together and sparked one of Bakura's many hair tips.
He clamped his fingers on the flame so that it went out. "Are you done?" He asked with a bored face.
"No, I have a final statement," Creel pointed at Bakura. "You should just tell Crystal that you like her so you can actually get somewhere in life."
"Who says I haven't already?" Cue the surprised faces of everyone in the room and cue Crystal's blushing face.
"Alright then…. That's the end of our show! Make sure to tune in next time!" Luna chirped as she concluded the show.
= - - - - Meanwhile in Amestris - - - - =
"Hey, Fullmetal. How's your day been?" Mustang asked the blonde-haired alchemist.
"Fine, Colonel God-Complex. Yours?" Edward told him smugly.
"I lost three pairs of my reactive gloves and still haven't found them. What about you, Alphonse?"
The suit of armor made a sniffling sound. "I lost one of my kitties…"
"Anyone else feel like these events are linked somehow?" Ed asked.
All three of them shrugged.
= - - - - Meanwhile in Luna's Room… - - - - =
Luna was reading her Fullmetal Alchemist manga when she saw Crystal appear in ghost-form next to her.
"So, what did you two do in that closet?" Luna asked curiously, after all, she was the Hikari so she often meddled and got caught up in the actions of her darker half.
Crystal blushed. "You can go see through my thoughts, can't you?"
"Oh, yeah. Good point." The room went quiet as Luna searched through her Yami's thoughts. "Jeez, Crystal! You had a pretty awesome make-out session!" Luna exclaimed. "And you must of spazzed out at the fact that he was shirtless!"
Crystal nodded vigorously while a light blush started forming on her cheeks.
"Well, I'm glad that you didn't do anything to reckless that would've put my name in mud. I'm going to bed. 'Night, Crystal!"
AN: So how did you like that chapter? I hope the little 'Meanwhile' things weren't too annoying, I just thought it would be funny to put it there.
