Still Gloooooooooooooooming. I do not own Yu-gi-oh, Yu-gi-oh GX, or Princess Tutu.

Chapter 6: Manarella

The darkness was fading. I could see a faint glow of light in the distance getting brighter and brighter. The light was right in front of me. The light was Mahad.

He did something wonderful to make him shine. I do not know what it is. When I reached out for him I woke up.

I was in my house sleeping in my bed. I do not remember getting home or going to class. I must have dreamed that the harpies were chasing me if I'm still in bed. Something did not feel right though. I was in my magician's uniform. There were bandages covering almost every inch of me. I also felt a great pain on the side of my face.

Didn't Sakura cut my face with her talons? Maybe this wasn't a dream at all. If this was not a dream though then how did I get home? Maybe I walked home and did not remember. But then who put all the bandages and the ice bag on me? I turned around to see Mahad sleeping against the wall.

Everything came back to me.

Sakura and the Harpies were chasing me to get the wand Mahad gave me. I was badly injured. I ran into Mahad and he talked to the harpies. They eventually left and Mahad noticed I was hurt. I can't remember anything after that. Mahad must have carried me home and bandaged me up. He cared didn't he?

For some reason I could not look at him. I felt all embarrassed even though he was sleeping. It reminded me in the anime I watch when the guy kisses the girl she has to turn away because she was all embarrassed. Did Mahad…no that couldn't have happened. Mahad would never do that. The feeling was still there. I should thank Mahad. Then again I can't wake him up.

What time is it anyway? It was 9:30 am. Today was Friday October 31st. Halloween was today. I couldn't believe I forgot all about it. I went into my hall closet and pulled out a couple of decorations. In 15 minutes I had a couple of ghosts and an inflatable pumpkin on my front yard. Halloween was the best time of year. I love the dressing up, decorations, and the candy. The candy was the best part.

That reminds me. I have to shopping for a costume with Jasmine today. I have to leave soon but I can't just leave Mahad here. Wait, I know. In a few minutes Mahad came downstairs.

"Mana why are you up? You should be resting from what happened yesterday."

"I'm making blueberry pancakes for breakfast as thanks."

"Oh, if that is the case then maybe we can stay up for a few more minutes."

Mahad loves blueberry pancakes, even when he is sleeping he could still sense that someone is making them. How do I know this you ask? Well, that is my little secret.

"These are good. Where did you learn to cook like this?"

"Jasmine taught me."

"I should have known."

This seems like a good time to ask Mahad to go to the party Kaiba Corp is throwing tonight. Besides, there is no possible way he can run away this time.

"Hey Mahad I was wondering if you would like to…"

"Kawee, Kawee! (Mana I think it is time you got going to Jasmine's!)"

"Mahad I have got to get going to Jasmine's house."

"Before you go Mana I want to ask you a favor…"

I was at Jasmine's house with Mahad's request.

"Hello Mana. Are you ready to go shopping?"

"Jasmine I would like you to meet Melanie."

There was a long pause. The tension between the two was incredible.

"Hello I'm Jasmine."

Melanie said nothing as she walked into the house.

"Why do you have toy dogs like these? They are so pathetic."

Jasmine was silent for a minute.

"I also have cats."

"Cats are even worse."

"Well I am going to make a phone call. You two keep bonding."

I went to the kitchen and dialed Mahad's number.

"Hello."

"Hi, Mahad it is me. The bonding is not going to well."

"Do they not have anything in common?"

"Not as far as I'm seeing."

"Jasmine needs a friend her age."

"I know but…"

Laughing was coming from the other room.

"Mahad I'll be right back."

When I got back to the room Melanie and Jasmine were singing some sort of song. Melanie sang first.

"E is for emotional ruins everybody's day."

Jasmine took the second verse.

"M is for Miserable people."

Then they sang together.

"O is for on the dark side because we have some fresh cookies, cookies!"

"What are you guys doing?"

Jasmine was the first to reply.

"We both figured out that we love watching NigaHiga on Youtube.*"

I left the room and went back to the phone.

"Hey Mahad I take back what I said."

"Well I have to go now Mana. See you tonight."

"Ok bye."

He hung up. Wait what did he mean by see him tonight? I don't know. When I got back to the room Jasmine and Melanie were talking about movies in minutes.

The doorbell rang after a few minutes went by.

"This is weird. Who else is coming over?"

Jasmine got up to answer the front door. When she opened there was a girl a few inches taller then her with strawberry red hair going down to her solders. She was wearing a pink blouse with loose flowing jeans.

"Surprise!"

The girl then hugged Jasmine.

"Christine you are here a week early!"

"I decided that I should come here for Halloween."

"You are just in luck. We are going costume shopping."

Melanie looked over the door with her.

"Oh, Melanie, Mana, I want you to meet my friend from New York Christine."

"Hi Melanie."

"Wait you two know each other? We met at a duel that I was watching."

Melanie simply nodded her head.

"Christine is going to live here in Japan."

I could not say anything. This was going to be a very interesting trip. We arrived at the Halloween shopping center to pick out outfits. I wanted something beautiful. I was not interested in all those scary or funny costumes. Christine was caring this huge bundle of costumes.

"How are you going to carry all of those?"

"This is an old trick of mine that works every time."

Christine dropped the outfits on the floor. She slowly bends down and snapped right back up in a sexy like position. All the guys in the store came running towards her.

"The trick is called the bend and snap*. It always works if you want the get a guy's attention. Would you guys mind carrying my stuff?"

"Of coarse we would !"

As Christine changed into about 20 different outfits Melanie, Jasmine, and I went looking for costumes for pets. I got Kuriboh a bunny outfit. It was adorable on him. Jasmine got a biker outfit for max, a princess costume for Sheba, vampire, mermaid, ballerina, spider, and a pig for her girl cats, hulk, Elvis, spider man, Harry Potter, and a knight for her boy cats. I bought some candy for trick-or-treaters. Christine eventually picked out an outfit. Christine decided to go for a forest faerie costume. Melanie went with a violet witch costume. Jasmine had a Greek goddess. I picked out nothing. None of the outfits were what I was looking for. As the other girls talked I just walked beside them lost in my own thought.

"What's wrong you have been sulking since we were in the costume store?"

Jasmine could figure out anything.

"I have the Harpy Sisters to deal with so I can't go to the party tonight."

Christine suddenly spoke up.

"You mean Sakura and the rest of the Harpies? They always cause trouble in my realm."

That took my interest.

"Wait, how do you know about the Harpy Sisters and what do you mean by realm?"

All three of the girls frooze. I have triggered something.

"I guess I have no choice but to confess. I will show you when we get back home."

When we arrived at Jasmine house Christine had to change. When she got back into the room she took off her shirt reeling a light blue tang top which looked like it was made of leaves. Christine turned her back and I saw two gigantic butterfly, like wings stretch from her back. She started flying with them.

"The truth is I am a fairy. The world of Golden Medow is right next to yours. We use our magic to hide it from you. I am a commoner their. Most of the fairies there are more beautiful then the average duel monster or human. Jasmine found me when I was about to fall into the sea. She saved my life and we became friends ever since."

I said nothing. I was still shocked by the big wings.

"The Harpy Sisters seem to have found out about our world. They steal our magical treasures and cause chaos. They do not reveal anything about our world because they know it will be harder to steal from us if everyone knew."

"So the Harpy Sisters cause trouble even outside the realm of the cards."

I said this more to myself still having trouble believing this.

"I wish Mahad could know about this."

"Who's Mahad?"

I spoke up this time.

"Mahad is my teacher. He teaches everything I know about the dark arts. I also am in love with him. Even if I admit it he still does not seem attracted to me."

Christine was next to speak.

"Did you try the bend and snap?"

"No way am I doing that."

Suddenly Jasmine had a strange look on her face.

"You have an idea don't you."

Jasmine nodded her head slowly.

"You really want to get to the party tonight at Kaiba Corp?"

"Of coarse I do!"

"Okay everyone we are going to go Mana into this party and make her have the best time of her life! Mana, what time do the harpies go to the party tonight?"

"They leave at six and will return around midnight."

"Okay this is what we are going to do."

Jasmine made a whole plan how we have tiny walkie talkies that Melanie could happen to supply. She said that they would distract the Harpies and let me get close to Mahad.

"One question though Jasmine."

"And what is that."

"What am I going to wear?"

"Oh Manarella let your fairy god mother handle that."

This was most likely going to consist of long gowns and very uncomfortable glass slippers.

*1- NigaHiga is a funny group on Youtube. They invented how to be ninja, gangster, Emo, nerd, and movies in minutes. They have their own real movie called Ryan and Shawn's not so exelant adventure.

*2- The bend and snap is from the movie Legally Blonde.

This is not supposed to be that much of a funny chapter to begin with. I might be adding the two characters from Yu-gi-oh 5D, Yusei and Akiza. I have a favor to ask from all of you. I can't think of a costume that Mahad could wear to the part. Could you guys post up some comments for me? I want something mysterious. See you next chapter.

Here are the links to the costumes.
