Quick little summary: MERRY CHRISTMAS, YU-GI-OH FANATICS!!!! This story's got lots of humor, a good amount of drama and some romance for ya, too! Pairings: J~M, T~S~D, sort of Rebecca and Mokuba, Ishizu~some kid?!?!, and Tea and...Yugi or Yami? R+R!!!
Long Summary: FYI, yuletide means having to do with Christmas. And Christmas means, aside from the birth of our Lord, gatherings, decorations, gifts, joy, love, festivities, charity, carols, celebrations, and feasting. It also means there's a lot going on. This year, Bakura is organzing a big Christmas play happening at Domino High, Yugi wonders what he'll get for Tea, Ishizu and Marik think there's going to be some big trouble at Kaiba's downtown Holiday Parade, Joey and Serenity have a crazy idea, Yami is cooking the Christmas feast, Rebecca and Mokuba are about to do something drastic, Mai's throwing a big party, and it looks like Domino City is in for a white Christmas-a REALLY white Christmas. This story is my gift to all Yu-Gi-Oh fanfiction readers, so you should just accept the gift and read it! And please review, because that would be a really nice present from you all, in return. That is, anyway, what Christmas is all about.
I dedicate this story to Kazuki Takahashi, who created Yu-Gi-Oh!!! (And he owns it, not me.)

Niisama-big brother
Baka-Japanese for idiot or fool
Onegai-Shimasu-what you say before you play a game

Marik-the hikari*
Malik-the yami*

Ryou-the yami*
yami-it's a noun, mind you
Yami-the spirit of Yugi's Millennium Puzzle
*(I'm deciding that. I learned it that way first, and I'm used to it now.)
Yes folkies, the yamis and the "hikaris" have separate bodies!! They didn't use to, so for example, when I say that Yami is Yugi's brother, I mean adopted brother. You see, I made up this imaginary TV series, The Yu-Gi-Oh Gang!, that takes place after Battle City. At the end of episode 7 of that series, Dark Magician Girl gives Yugi a spell that can make the yamis and hikaris have separate bodies! This special, Yuletide Yu-Gi-Oh, is.. uh, episode 33 or so. (do not ask.)
TV is fun!! If you find that I'm describing actions a little too much, it's because I meant for this really to be a TV show and I want you to know how everybody looks.
Also, you may find that my chapters are short (at least the first one.) Don't worry, I'll try to update often. EDIT: ...
And about this story, there is no "mindlink"!!! I mean, what fun would dreaming and scheming be if your yami/hikari was mentally there to hear your every mischevious thought? If there was mindlink, that would ruin at least three major plots in this story. (If you don't know what mindlink is, don't worry about it.)
This story is long. If you want a very short story, read Beginners' Fortune, a story with my own original characters.
This story is funny, but not all the time- it also has some serious moments. If you want 100% silliness and nonsense, check out The "Third Face- Off" Episode Remake, A Hikaru no Go fic that changes what happens in that fateful chapter from Volume 3. (I'll post the story on my DeviantArt.)
And now...our feature presentation!!! You'll laugh, you'll cry...and you'll review! Hopefully.
It was wonderful. More and more people were putting up Christmas decorations. Children and teenagers alike talked on and on about what they wanted for Christmas, and what they thought they would get for Christmas, which hopefully were not two different things. Carols in increasing numbers were being played on the radio. All of Domino City seemed to be in a good mood, laughing and cheerful. Of course, that was before the blizzard came.
Holiday 1: And the Winner Is.....
"Good morning, Domino High!!!!" said an overly cheerful Vice Principal, over the intercom.
The students groaned. "Good mor-ning, Miss Hins-ley," they all said.
"Today is Monday, December 5, 2005, and don't you forget it!!"
"Does she have to say that every day?" Tristan complained.
"Apparently, yes," replied Duke.
"Now, a very important announcement: The person we've chosen to be in charge of this year's Christmas play is...Ryou Bakura!"
Lots of the students who entered the sweepstakes said, "Awww!" Ryou Bakura said, "WHAT???!!!!!" He didn't even enter!!!! He didn't want to manage the play!!! It was a very hard, very stressful job. Now let me tell you about the play. It is not just a Domino High (a class or drama assignment) play. It's open to teenagers at the school and at the youth at the church who used the school as an auditorium. Since there was no time for auditions, parts were chosen at random. That's not good, but the pastor thought, for some reason, that the students and youth at the church were mostly very smart. Anyway, Bakura figured out that his jerk of a yami, Bakura Ryou, entered him into the contest by using their easily confusable names, knowing he wouldn't want to do it.
"...and he did this just to ruin my life!" Bakura said, in study hall at the end of the day. He had a copy of the play.
"I'm sorry, Bakura," said Yugi. (BTW, Kaiba isn't with them.)
"Thanks, Yugi...but I still don't think I can do this...It's so much to handle..."
"Don't worry!" said Tea. "We'll help you do it! Won't we, guys?"
No one said anything or looked enthusiastic.
"WON'T WE, GUYS?"
"Sure." Yeah." Whatever." "Okay." "Uh-huh."
"I'm sorry. I couldn't help but overhear your conversation," said Miss Hinsley, who had just come up to them. "It's gonna be hard to help Bakura when YOU GUYS have been chosen to be in the play."
The Gang, including Bakura, just stared.(You see, the kids in the play were chosen at random!!!!!!!)
"Here's a list of the parts." She dropped a list of parts and the people who were supposed to play them and several copies of the play on Bakura's desk, since he was the manager of the play and the table their desks made had no center. "Have a nice day!" she said, before walking out of the classroom.
"Who am I?!? Who am I?!?" everyone was saying. "Hold it, hold it, everybody! I'll read out the parts," said Bakura.
Bakura read the parts out loud, with great fear.
"I'm playing the innkeeper..."
"They're making you be the innkeeper AND the manager of the play?" asked Duke.
"Yeah."
"Harsh.
"I know.. anyway, the narrator is Miho Nosaka..."
"Miho?" said Serenity. "You mean 'Ribbon'? Uh-oh..She's kinda shy..."
"Don't worry, sis. She'll be fine," said Joey.
"Angel Gabriel is...Marik Ishtar."
There were laughs. Marik said,"What?!?!? I don't wanna wear some stupid angel costume!!! That's for girls!!"
"There are 4 shepherds. Shepherd 1 is Mai Valentine..."
More laughs. Mai said, "Didn't they say they were gonna have live sheep? I'm not so sure about getting near them. Who knows where they've been?!" Joseph and Mai were disappointed that they couldn't play Joseph and Mary.
"Shepherd 2 is Serenity Wheeler..."
"Oh, yes!! I would love to work with the sheep! They're so adorable!!" Duke and Tristan were now hoping that they could be shepherds, too.
"Shepherd 3 is Joey Wheeler..."
"Yes!" Joey whispered. He was happy to be with both his sister and his crush. He stopped smiling, though, when the others looked at him and giggled. Duke and Tristan were nervous now.
"And Shepherd 4 is Duke Devlin."
"Yes!" whispered Duke. "Aww!" said Tristan. Laughs.
"King Herod is Ushio Tashiki."
A few of them laughed, but there were more little gasps. What a coincidence!!!
"Herod's servant is Ishizu Ishtar..."
"Ishizu's not gonna like that. ...Um, you can go on, Bakura."
"Okay, there are three Wise Men. Wise Man 1 is Tristan Taylor..."
"Well, I am wise, you know." "Riiiiiiight." Joey said. Laughs.
"Wise Man 2 is Seto Kaiba..."
"And Kaiba's not wise!!!" declared Joey. Everyone laughed except for the nervous Yugi...
"And Wise Man 3 is Yugi Moto...."
"Well, we all know that Yugi is wise!" said Tea with a smile. Everyone agreed. No one seemed to notice that Yugi was sad!!
"...which would leave Yami and Tea to play Joseph and Mary. Congratulations, you guys!" There was some clapping, because the parts were chosen at random between the school and the church!!!!
Can you say Coincidence of the Century?!!
Tea blushed, mostly because she was embarassed, though, and Yami smiled. Also, Yugi scowled, but again, no one seemed to notice!!!
'Oh, great.....' he thought.
Bakura passed out the copies of the play and everyone started chatting. Joey looked at his lines in disgust. "Man, this stinks!!! I only say five words in the entire play!!!"
"That's because that's all you can handle," said Duke. Marik laughed.
"Who are you?!!!" said Tristan to himself, reading Shepherd 3's lines.
"I'm Joey," said Joey, frowning in confusion.
"That's your line, dimwit!!" said Tristan.
"See what I mean?" said Duke, smirking at Joey.
"Keep that up and you're not gonna be able to see!!!" retorted Joey. Serenity glared at him and he said, "UH... for a split second because you'll blink because everybody has to blink sometimes. Heh heh..."
"Lame," Duke said and then he blinked (because everybody has to blink sometimes.).
"And you, please don't insult my brother like that." said Serenity.
"It'll never happen again," said Duke hastily.
"Yes it will," muttered Tristan.
"Shut up."
When Yugi got his, he quickly scanned to see if there were any scenes where Joseph and Mary kissed. "Phew!" he said quietly after he finished. "No-"
"Ahahaha. Look, guys," said a grinning Mai to Tea and Yami, holding up the play. "There's a scene where you guys-"
"KISS?!" Yugi said in alarm. "Where?!!" He saw Mai, Tea and Yami staring at him, and said, "Uh, I mean, I was just curious."
"Right there! ^^ " said Mai.
Awkward silence. Destiny. Yami and Tea stared at their theatrical destiny.
Luckily, Joey broke the silence by butting his head into the conversation. "I couldn't help but overhear, did you see anywhere that Shepherds 1 and 3-"
"NO!!" The four shouted.
Next chapter(even though it's right here!!): Yugi comes up with a plan to get Tea's attention. But when he starts to try it out, will it work?
Holiday 2: The Beginning of Yugi's Epic Shopping Saga!!!
BRIIIIIIIIING!!!! The bell rang. Everyone got up and left. As they came out of the building, Mai threw one arm around Tea and the other arm around Serenity and began talking away, and walking away. "Okay girls, I'm gonna have a Christmas party at my place and it's gonna be on Christmas Day and I'm not sure what time it's gonna be but it's gonna be a long party and at the end we're gonna exchange presents and there'll be some games and lots of cool music and colored lights around and even a dinner and so I guess it's a dinner party and..." She trailed off.
"They abandoned us," said Duke.
"Girls..." said Joey.
"No..Mai..." corrected Tristan.
There was a pause.
"So...I guess we'll all go home now??" said Bakura, breaking the silence.
Everyone nodded or said, "Yeah," except for Yugi, who thought about it a moment and then said, "I'm gonna go after those girls!" Everyone walked away. To keep from lying, and to fool the others just in case they were looking, he went after the girls. But when the boys were gone, he turned and went in the direction of the nearby J-Mart. On the way there, he thought, 'Hmmm...Just my luck...Out of all those kids, Yami and Tea were chosen to be Joseph and Mary!!!!! Imagine all the romantic moments!!!!!! This is terrible!!! And since I can't do anything about that choice, I'll have to impress Tea in another way...which is..buying her the perfect present!!! And J-Mart sells EVERYTHING!!! Yeah!! I'll "coincidentally" show up right after Yami gives her his present, and give her mine, and she'll completely forget about him and his stupid present(whatever that may be) and she'll kiss me right then and there!!! Heh heh...that'll also get Yami back for playing all those practical jokes on me in the past!!!-'
Don't ask.
'-This is gonna be so great!!' He marched proudly into the store, but then he stopped his little victory march and froze with one leg in the air (for a moment, of course!). "Uhhhh..." He put the leg down. "Where do I start???!?" He looked around in front of him. He faced the big, big store. There were so many choices of what to buy! "Hmmm," he thought aloud. "Well..Tea likes to dance. Maybe I'll by her a nice dance outfit!"
'A nice, tight dance outfit...' he suddenly thought but he pushed the thought away. "How about something different..." He began walking around the store. "Hey!" He stopped. "Maybe she'll like a...photo frame!" He picked up a cute photo frame. "Or maybe..a watch..." He also picked up a pretty, metal watch with little fake jewels inside it. "No, wait! How 'bout a...set of Christmas cookie cutters?!" He picked that up, too. "I need a shopping cart..." Yugi went back and got a shopping cart, even though he didn't have one before because he thought he could decide on just 1 gift. He was so caught up that he forgot about this original plan of buying one gift. Instead he began unawarely to fill up the shopping cart.
"A Santa hat!!
A set of permanent markers!!
A can opener!!
A Moshi(R) pillow!!
A harmonica!!
A pair of earrings!!
A pair of toe socks!!
A..." Okay, we get the point.
When the spiky-haired kid finally reached the checkout, the cart practically weighed a ton and Yugi did lose a few pounds. Since it wasn't too close to Thanksgiving or Christmas, and since it was another busy Monday afternoon, and it was so cold outside, J-Mart for once wasn't crowded. In fact, Yugi was just second in line. After the guy in front finished up, the bored cashier, a grouchy old lady who talked like a genuine thug{Joey has the same accent, but this old lady made it sound really bad, unlike Joey. I don't hate Joey's accent at all!!!} said, "Next." But that's when Yugi finally realized that he had only planned to get 1 gift and that there were exactly 47 gifts in his shopping cart. "Um, I-"
"You buyin' all dat stuff, kid?"
"Well, I couldn't decide. You see, I-"
"It's about a gal, huh?"
"Oh, yes! How did you-"
"I dealt with alot'ta you boys last yeah. You're da first one dis yeah. Aldough I've nevuh quite seen one wit' dis much stuff before!"
"Well, ma'am, I didn't even realize I was buying so much stuff until I got to the checkout line! I only have enough money for one gift. I guess I really-"
"Enough chattuh. You need ta' get rid'da sum'muh dat stuff. Startin' wit' da can openuh."
"What?!! But what if she needs to open a can?! She'll be helpless!! And-"
Honestly, folks, Yugi really isn't this dumb. He's just blinded by love today.
"Ferget it." She took the can opener and put it behind the desk.
"But-"
"And she doesn't need a 6-pack of tissue boxes, eider."
"Well, what if she catches a cold?! Then-"
"A keychain calculator?!?" She took that, too.
"But that's for calculating on the go!!! What if she-"
"A talkin' bookmark?!? I don't tink so."
At this point, the old woman, Yugi, and the impatient young woman behind him were, for some reason, the only ones in the store.
"Will you hurry it up, already?!! I really need to buy this stuff, and I'm in a hurry!!!"
"Do you mind, lady?! I'm kinda busy right now," replied the old person.
"Urrrrrgh!!!!" cried the poor young woman in disgust. The old lady cashier took out a few more items, then the other lady protested again. "This is taking too long!!!"
"You're tellin' me," said the senior, suddenly agreeing with the lady. "Tell ya what. You can just take that stuff for free."
"Oh. .. All right, then!!" said the young lady, brightening up. She quickly left the store. The alarm went off, but then the old woman pushed a button that shut it off.
The old grouchy thug woman continued to take things out of Yugi's shopping cart until there were only 8 things left in it. That's when she said, "Now, dis stuff is useful. Decide from dose things."
But then Yugi said, "Wellllll......now that you think about it, I don't wanna give her any of these things."
"DAAAAAAAAH!!!!!" cried the old lady. "Just get outta here, boy!!!" Yugi, scared, quickly walked out of the store.
"I need a new job," said the old woman.
Meanwhile, Yugi thought, 'Oh! I have no idea what to get for Tea!! I need help! My present just has to be better than Yami's!!! Hey. Wait a minute.' He stopped. 'I think I know exactly who can help me.' He smiled mischeviously. 'No-
WILL help me.'
"Oof!" Yugi had been so busy scheming that he bumped into somebody.
"Hey, idiot! Watch where you're going!!"
The boy looked up only to stare into the mean, angry face of...da-dada DUM!!! Yami Bakura!!! His homie ^_^, Yami Marik(Malik), was right beside him. "Yeah!" he said. "Can't you see we're evilly plotting here?!!" Yami Bakura jabbed him in the stomach-hard-with his elbow. "Shut up, you moron!!! Unless you want the Pharaoh to know about this!! Yugi tells him everything!!" the Tomb Robber, also known as Ryou, whispered, a little too loudly. Yugi could hear him!!!! (No, Ryou was not a hypocrite. He was just so frustrated that he raised his voice. Anywho, that was his mistake.)
'Oh, not everything!' Yugi thought, smiling mischeviously again.
"OH!! Well, then," said Malik, thinking that Yugi didn't hear Ryou, " just tell the Pharaoh that we were ONLY talking about Seto Kaiba's holiday parade!!!"
Ryou punched Malik in the stomach. "MALIK, YOU DUMMY!!!!!!!"
"Well, it's true."
Ryou slapped Malik in the face. "Owwie!"
"O-kaaay..I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear all that!" said Yugi, even though he was just dying to tell said Pharaoh the news.
"Well," said Malik, "goodbye, Yugi, you idiot boy!"
"You're the idiot around here!!!" said Ryou to Malik.
"Boy, bye!! So, about those grenades..."
After the two psycho buddies had walked a little bit, Yugi turned around and whispered after them, "Oh, boy, Yami is SOOO gonna kill you two!!" Then he ran the rest of the way home.
When the spiky-haired kid got home, he said, "Yami!! Yami!!" at the same time Yami said, "Yugi!! Yugi!!" Looks like they both had urgent news! They ran to find each other and met up in the living room, which was near the front door. Yugi quickly inhaled and opened his mouth. The words were JUUUUST about to come out of his mouth(HE WAS SOOOOO CLOSE!!!!!!) when Yami whispered, "Yugi!! Code R!! CODE R!!!!" "Yami, what are you-"
"THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!!!"
"What the-"
"Just come with me!" Yami just grabbed Yugi's sleeve and pulled him behind a wall.
"Now what is all this ab-"
"SHHH!!! You're too loud!!"
"Well, sor-ry!" Yugi said sarcastically, rolling his eyes. Yami ignored this.
"Yugi, REBECCA'S HERE!!!!!"
"Yes, Yami, I know. They said they would probably arrive today. And they're staying at the Lavee (la-VAY) Hotel, downtown. Can I leave now??!"
"No, Yugi, you don't understand. I mean here IN THIS HOUSE!!!"
"Oh. ..Wait a minute!! What the-"
Just then, Rebecca Hawkins{My Destiny Board Traveler alter ego!!! Yay!!!} walked up to them, smiling cheerfully. She completely ignored Yami and took Yugi's hand with both hands. "Hi, Yugi!!!" ^_^ She let go with one hand and as she dragged him up the steps she said, "Let's go do something fun in our room!!!" ^ ^.
"OUR room??!" said Yugi.
"Ho boy," said Yami.
For some reason, the Grandpas weren't very smart at this time. "Ah, they seem to be getting along just fine," said Yugi's grandpa.
"Yes, I agree. This arrangement will work out quite nicely!" said Professor Hawkins.
Boy, was he wrong.
Next chapter:
Yami Bakura and Marik run into each other at the Food Tiger and it's not pretty.
EDIT(I edit all my posts...): I've just posted in the Happy Fun get the word out thread. You've gotta see it- it provides more detailed information about the story.

When Yugi got his, he quickly scanned to see if there were any scenes where Joseph and Mary kissed. "Phew!" he said quietly after he finished. "No-"
"Ahahaha. Look, guys," said a grinning Mai to Tea and Yami, holding up the play. "There's a scene where you guys-"
"KISS?!" Yugi said in alarm. "Where?!!" He saw Mai, Tea and Yami staring at him, and said, "Uh, I mean, I was just curious."
"Right there! ^^ " said Mai.
Awkward silence. Destiny. Yami and Tea stared at their theatrical destiny.
Luckily, Joey broke the silence by butting his head into the conversation. "I couldn't help but overhear, did you see anywhere that Shepherds 1 and 3-"
"NO!!" The four shouted.
Next chapter(even though it's right here!!): Yugi comes up with a plan to get Tea's attention. But when he starts to try it out, will it work?
Holiday 2: The Beginning of Yugi's Epic Shopping Saga!!!
BRIIIIIIIIING!!!! The bell rang. Everyone got up and left. As they came out of the building, Mai threw one arm around Tea and the other arm around Serenity and began talking away, and walking away. "Okay girls, I'm gonna have a Christmas party at my place and it's gonna be on Christmas Day and I'm not sure what time it's gonna be but it's gonna be a long party and at the end we're gonna exchange presents and there'll be some games and lots of cool music and colored lights around and even a dinner and so I guess it's a dinner party and..." She trailed off.
"They abandoned us," said Duke.
"Girls..." said Joey.
"No..Mai..." corrected Tristan.
There was a pause.
"So...I guess we'll all go home now??" said Bakura, breaking the silence.
Everyone nodded or said, "Yeah," except for Yugi, who thought about it a moment and then said, "I'm gonna go after those girls!" Everyone walked away. To keep from lying, and to fool the others just in case they were looking, he went after the girls. But when the boys were gone, he turned and went in the direction of the nearby J-Mart. On the way there, he thought, 'Hmmm...Just my luck...Out of all those kids, Yami and Tea were chosen to be Joseph and Mary!!!!! Imagine all the romantic moments!!!!!! This is terrible!!! And since I can't do anything about that choice, I'll have to impress Tea in another way...which is..buying her the perfect present!!! And J-Mart sells EVERYTHING!!! Yeah!! I'll "coincidentally" show up right after Yami gives her his present, and give her mine, and she'll completely forget about him and his stupid present(whatever that may be) and she'll kiss me right then and there!!! Heh heh...that'll also get Yami back for playing all those practical jokes on me in the past!!!-'
Don't ask.
'-This is gonna be so great!!' He marched proudly into the store, but then he stopped his little victory march and froze with one leg in the air (for a moment, of course!). "Uhhhh..." He put the leg down. "Where do I start???!?" He looked around in front of him. He faced the big, big store. There were so many choices of what to buy! "Hmmm," he thought aloud. "Well..Tea likes to dance. Maybe I'll by her a nice dance outfit!"
'A nice, tight dance outfit...' he suddenly thought but he pushed the thought away. "How about something different..." He began walking around the store. "Hey!" He stopped. "Maybe she'll like a...photo frame!" He picked up a cute photo frame. "Or maybe..a watch..." He also picked up a pretty, metal watch with little fake jewels inside it. "No, wait! How 'bout a...set of Christmas cookie cutters?!" He picked that up, too. "I need a shopping cart..." Yugi went back and got a shopping cart, even though he didn't have one before because he thought he could decide on just 1 gift. He was so caught up that he forgot about this original plan of buying one gift. Instead he began unawarely to fill up the shopping cart.
"A Santa hat!!
A set of permanent markers!!
A can opener!!
A Moshi(R) pillow!!
A harmonica!!
A pair of earrings!!
A pair of toe socks!!
A..." Okay, we get the point.
When the spiky-haired kid finally reached the checkout, the cart practically weighed a ton and Yugi did lose a few pounds. Since it wasn't too close to Thanksgiving or Christmas, and since it was another busy Monday afternoon, and it was so cold outside, J-Mart for once wasn't crowded. In fact, Yugi was just second in line. After the guy in front finished up, the bored cashier, a grouchy old lady who talked like a genuine thug{Joey has the same accent, but this old lady made it sound really bad, unlike Joey. I don't hate Joey's accent at all!!!} said, "Next." But that's when Yugi finally realized that he had only planned to get 1 gift and that there were exactly 47 gifts in his shopping cart. "Um, I-"
"You buyin' all dat stuff, kid?"
"Well, I couldn't decide. You see, I-"
"It's about a gal, huh?"
"Oh, yes! How did you-"
"I dealt with alot'ta you boys last yeah. You're da first one dis yeah. Aldough I've nevuh quite seen one wit' dis much stuff before!"
"Well, ma'am, I didn't even realize I was buying so much stuff until I got to the checkout line! I only have enough money for one gift. I guess I really-"
"Enough chattuh. You need ta' get rid'da sum'muh dat stuff. Startin' wit' da can openuh."
"What?!! But what if she needs to open a can?! She'll be helpless!! And-"
Honestly, folks, Yugi really isn't this dumb. He's just blinded by love today.
"Ferget it." She took the can opener and put it behind the desk.
"But-"
"And she doesn't need a 6-pack of tissue boxes, eider."
"Well, what if she catches a cold?! Then-"
"A keychain calculator?!?" She took that, too.
"But that's for calculating on the go!!! What if she-"
"A talkin' bookmark?!? I don't tink so."
At this point, the old woman, Yugi, and the impatient young woman behind him were, for some reason, the only ones in the store.
"Will you hurry it up, already?!! I really need to buy this stuff, and I'm in a hurry!!!"
"Do you mind, lady?! I'm kinda busy right now," replied the old person.
"Urrrrrgh!!!!" cried the poor young woman in disgust. The old lady cashier took out a few more items, then the other lady protested again. "This is taking too long!!!"
"You're tellin' me," said the senior, suddenly agreeing with the lady. "Tell ya what. You can just take that stuff for free."
"Oh. .. All right, then!!" said the young lady, brightening up. She quickly left the store. The alarm went off, but then the old woman pushed a button that shut it off.
The old grouchy thug woman continued to take things out of Yugi's shopping cart until there were only 8 things left in it. That's when she said, "Now, dis stuff is useful. Decide from dose things."
But then Yugi said, "Wellllll......now that you think about it, I don't wanna give her any of these things."
"DAAAAAAAAH!!!!!" cried the old lady. "Just get outta here, boy!!!" Yugi, scared, quickly walked out of the store.
"I need a new job," said the old woman.
Meanwhile, Yugi thought, 'Oh! I have no idea what to get for Tea!! I need help! My present just has to be better than Yami's!!! Hey. Wait a minute.' He stopped. 'I think I know exactly who can help me.' He smiled mischeviously. 'No-
WILL help me.'
"Oof!" Yugi had been so busy scheming that he bumped into somebody.
"Hey, idiot! Watch where you're going!!"
The boy looked up only to stare into the mean, angry face of...da-dada DUM!!! Yami Bakura!!! His homie ^_^, Yami Marik(Malik), was right beside him. "Yeah!" he said. "Can't you see we're evilly plotting here?!!" Yami Bakura jabbed him in the stomach-hard-with his elbow. "Shut up, you moron!!! Unless you want the Pharaoh to know about this!! Yugi tells him everything!!" the Tomb Robber, also known as Ryou, whispered, a little too loudly. Yugi could hear him!!!! (No, Ryou was not a hypocrite. He was just so frustrated that he raised his voice. Anywho, that was his mistake.)
'Oh, not everything!' Yugi thought, smiling mischeviously again.
"OH!! Well, then," said Malik, thinking that Yugi didn't hear Ryou, " just tell the Pharaoh that we were ONLY talking about Seto Kaiba's holiday parade!!!"
Ryou punched Malik in the stomach. "MALIK, YOU DUMMY!!!!!!!"
"Well, it's true."
Ryou slapped Malik in the face. "Owwie!"
"O-kaaay..I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear all that!" said Yugi, even though he was just dying to tell said Pharaoh the news.
"Well," said Malik, "goodbye, Yugi, you idiot boy!"
"You're the idiot around here!!!" said Ryou to Malik.
"Boy, bye!! So, about those grenades..."
After the two psycho buddies had walked a little bit, Yugi turned around and whispered after them, "Oh, boy, Yami is SOOO gonna kill you two!!" Then he ran the rest of the way home.
When the spiky-haired kid got home, he said, "Yami!! Yami!!" at the same time Yami said, "Yugi!! Yugi!!" Looks like they both had urgent news! They ran to find each other and met up in the living room, which was near the front door. Yugi quickly inhaled and opened his mouth. The words were JUUUUST about to come out of his mouth(HE WAS SOOOOO CLOSE!!!!!!) when Yami whispered, "Yugi!! Code R!! CODE R!!!!" "Yami, what are you-"
"THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!!!"
"What the-"
"Just come with me!" Yami just grabbed Yugi's sleeve and pulled him behind a wall.
"Now what is all this ab-"
"SHHH!!! You're too loud!!"
"Well, sor-ry!" Yugi said sarcastically, rolling his eyes. Yami ignored this.
"Yugi, REBECCA'S HERE!!!!!"
"Yes, Yami, I know. They said they would probably arrive today. And they're staying at the Lavee (la-VAY) Hotel, downtown. Can I leave now??!"
"No, Yugi, you don't understand. I mean here IN THIS HOUSE!!!"
"Oh. ..Wait a minute!! What the-"
Just then, Rebecca Hawkins{My Destiny Board Traveler alter ego!!! Yay!!!} walked up to them, smiling cheerfully. She completely ignored Yami and took Yugi's hand with both hands. "Hi, Yugi!!!" ^_^ She let go with one hand and as she dragged him up the steps she said, "Let's go do something fun in our room!!!" ^ ^.
"OUR room??!" said Yugi.
"Ho boy," said Yami.
For some reason, the Grandpas weren't very smart at this time. "Ah, they seem to be getting along just fine," said Yugi's grandpa.
"Yes, I agree. This arrangement will work out quite nicely!" said Professor Hawkins.
Boy, was he wrong.
Next chapter:
Yami Bakura and Marik run into each other at the Food Tiger and it's not pretty.

So they wouldn't want to give each other that privacy if they had mindlink. That's why I just took mindlink out of the story. Nope. Goodbye. Don't wanna deal with it!! =)
