Marik smiles as she looks herself over in the mirror for about the hundredth time that day. The girl was wearing a lavender bikini that really brought out her eyes and nicely contrasted her tan skin. It was tied in the back and around her neck. The top of the top part of the bikini was lined with golden jewels, and she couldn't help but smile. Ryou had offered to do something to the bikinis that they had chosen in order to make them look better. This was also the day that Marik had learned to sew.
The girl grabbed her towel and wrapped it tightly around her body, making her way out of her part of the dressing room and moving to find Ryou, who was wearing a bathing suit that definitely wasn't hers. However, that wasn't the thing that made Marik stop; it was the area of the girl that protruded from the girl's chest.
"Ryou, there is no need to stuff!" Marik says, running to her friend and reaching into her bikini top and trying to grab at the supposed stuffing in her chest, however, when nothing came out, and she only grabbed skin, she flushed.
"Imma guess thus is why you never remove your bra…" Marik concludes, and Ryou nods, her cheeks a bright red.
"Well, the jig is up, I'm either going to be considered a stuffer, a slut, or boys are gonna start groping me again. However, I am glad that someone left this bikini top instead, I now realize that my other one would've been a tad too small." Ryou says, and Marik blushes as inappropriate images make their way into her mind.
"I mean, c'mon Yug' I don't think that beating up a boy should warrant me being disqualified, and how the hell is Minume still in, I mean she sucked. And how is it that Marik got away with using four knives, but I couldn't beat someone- Holy shit Ryou, I think you went overboard with the stuffing!" Joey exclaims upon entering the room with the other two girls.
"I didn't stuff." Ryou whines, tears pricking at the edges of her eyes.
Marik immediately goes over to her best friend and wraps her arms around her, pulling the girl in close, and allowing the smaller girl to use her breasts as a cushion. Ryou flushes at the action, however, for the most part the action goes uncared for.
"You look pretty Yugi." Ryou compliments, smiling at the amethyst bikini Yugi is wearing. The top part has lace added to it, and the bottom part flares out as a mini skirt, also adding some modesty to the outfit. It is Yugi.
"Same with you Ryou, but that isn't your bathing suit." Indeed, this bathing suit like Ryou's first one was an aqua color; however this one was a lot less modest. The bathing suit was tied around her back and around her neck, and the top art did not leave mush to imagination, making Ryou wonder why her friends thought she was stuffing. The bottoms were shorts; they were the same aqua, but with some emerald where the seams should have been.
"Wow Ryou," Anzu says as she walks into the room, much to the dismay of the white-haired girl.
"Would everyone stop commenting on my boobs? I mean dear Ra, there is a reason I buy my bras small!" Ryou basically yells, storming out of the room.
"She shouldn't do that, that's not healthy for the breasts, they need to breathe." Anzu says as the other girls, who were of course originally boys pale for a moment before turning a bright shade of pink and staring at their new bodily appendage, if they could even call it that.
"Um, let's go." Marik says trying to end the awkward conversation over breasts. Yugi nods before waving a good-bye to her friends and making her way over to the stage. From where the girls were standing, they could hear the gasps and then the collective awes over Yugi's chibiness.
"Well, I'm next." Anzu says as she makes her way to the stage and smiles. This time, instead of gasps, there are wolf whistles and cat calls. Marik sighs realizing that she is next.
She makes her way to the stage and proudly struts her stuff, much to the approval of her yami, and a ton of other boys that attend the school.
Lastly, Ryou makes her way onto the stage, and at first all is silent, but then the school erupts in cheers. Minume turns and looks over at the whit haired girl whose head is down and looks as though she is trying to hide her body.
Minume's bathing suit was tight, it is a sky blue, and it truly leaves nothing up to imagination. Wasn't that how a bikini should have been, then why was everyone else rooting for Ryou?
She then took a closer look at her competition, and she realized one of the worst things ever. Ryou is bustier then she is, and the girl is a whole year younger that means she has a whole other year of growing, and even worse, the bikini she had exchanged for Ryou's first one made her look better than the one the girl used to own. Ugh, this was a major waste of time.
"Okay la-ladies, you may return to your room. We will decide the three people who make it to the finals. This may take some deliberating, so take your time ladies." The announcer says, trying to sound as smooth as he could.
The girls nod and turn to leave, each making their way back into the locker rooms.
"Uh, sorry I exploded earlier-" Ryou starts, only to be tackle hugged by Marik.
"Ryou, don't apologize. It must be awkward to know that every boy and girl in the school was staring at your boobs." Marik exclaims, and emerald eyes go wide as realization hits the girl. The girl looks downcast as more tears start to form in her eyes and Marik reaches over and tightly encases the smaller girl in a hug.
"C'mon guys, let's get changed," Yugi says as she starts making her way to her changing room to start changing. All the other girls make their way to their respective room and start undressing and preparing for the next stage, if they make it that is.
"Hey Yugi?" Ryou says, gently knocking on the door. Yugi looks over at the girl to see her dressed in the classic Ms. Claus outfit.
"Yeah?" Yugi replies in a penguin outfit.
"What are you doing for the next part of the competition, I'm doing something with gymnastics and I don't want to feel like I am copying you." Ryou explains her eyes downcast.
"Oh, no, actually, I'm not. I didn't know that you did gymnastics, Ryou." Yugi says, her eyes widening a bit at learning all the things that she has been learning since her friends became girls. Well, besides that even though they would never openly admit it, Marik and Ryou like each other.
"Yeah, I did it with my sister when I was younger. It helped with diving." Ryou explains, looking a bit downcast at the end. She, when she was a he, had planned on going back to diving, however breasts kind of stopped her from doing so.
"Hey guys!" Joey says as she walks into the room, a small frown on her face.
"Hey Joey, what's up?" Yugi asks, putting the finishing touches on the penguin outfit.
"Oh, I found Anzu and Marik, they should be coming now. They went to change after being kicked out of the competition." Joey says, and Ryou and Yugi look at each other with wide eyes. That means that it is the two of them left, possibly with Minume.
"Hello girlies. Mariku just told me that I was definitely the sexiest girl in the competition." Marik explains happily. Ryou smiles at her friend and gives her a hug.
"Lucky, I don't think Bakura would be able to tell that I liked him, even if our lives depended on it. Some thief he is." Ryou mutters the last part; however, Marik hears it and starts laughing.
"I'm shocked that you admitted to something like that. It looks like Ry-Ry is finally learning this thing called bravery." Marik teases as the smaller girl blushes.
"Yeah, yeah, we gotta go, we have the last part of the contest to attend. Come on Yugi." Ryou says, leaving her best friend's side and making her way out of the door, her cheeks going red when she feels someone's eyes on her bare back.
No sooner in which they left did Joey and Anzu turn to Marik with matching evil smiles on their faces. Marik however doesn't react, because he has spent enough time with Mariku and Bakura, so their evil smiles are nothing now.
"What?" Marik asks, though it is quite obvious by the look on her face that she could honestly care less.
"Well, if Mariku has finally admitted his crush on you, which means that it is time for you to make a choice. Do you like Ryou or Mariku more?" Joey asks, and the girl before him turns a slight shade of pink, which oddly enough compliments her tanned skin.
"Or, do you like Bakura?" Anzu adds the last part at the end, and laughs as Marik blushes even more. Sure, it was obvious to everyone (except the three before mentioned and Marik) that Marik had some major crushes, in fact, all of them did, but she didn't think that it would be that obvious, hell, she barely noticed that she was crushing on all of them, that is until now.
"Uh…imma say Mariku because he is my yami?" Marik replies, not really taking the time to take in the question. She just doesn't want to answer the question right now that is just her temporary answer. However, it would probably be wrong to say any of the other two choices, saying that they obviously like each other. They were his best friends for Pete's sake, it would be wrong to take them away from each other, even though they were either to shy or stubborn to say so.
"Sure." Anzu says with a knowing smile on her face as she turns around and makes her way over to the door, she then turns back with an evil smirk and looks at the boys turned girls. "C'mon, don't you two want to see Yugi and Ryou preform." Anzu says, winking at her friends as they roll their eyes, and eventually follow the dancer out of the room.
"Hey guys." Anzu says, fluttering her eyelashes and flipping her hair at the sight of the three yamis, Seto, Duke, and Honda. None of the boys pay her much mind, but when Marik and Joey came through they were awarded like patrons, well, only by Bakura and Mariku who congratulated Marik on the knives and Joey on beating up that random boy.
"So, I guess this means that both Ryou and Yugi are in the finals." Sato says, looking out into the distance thoughtfully.
"Yes, and no, I already know Ryou isn't singing again." Marik explains looking happily towards the stage awaiting the coming of his friends. She blushed slightly when he felt two strong arms wrap around her and pull her to a toned chest, and her cheeks were scorching when Bakura tussles her hair and gave her one of his signature smirk.
"And now, for the final part of the competition, the Christmas outfit and show," The announcer announces, and the light dims and then the music starts.
