Miake: *just got back from the mall* I hate holiday shopping. It's so crowded that you can't walk, there's long lines everywhere and--

Kaiba: Miake, that's really nice *rolls eyes* but this really isn't about you and your complaints about holiday shopping.

Miake: You're right. This is about you and your complaints about disclaimers.

Kaiba: No, it's about our skiing trip where everything goes wrong.

Miake: I mean this opening.

Kaiba: Oh, ok. Anyway, Miake doesn't own YGO.

Miake: Can I go back to complaining now.

Kaiba: Sure *tapes Miake's mouth closed*

************

Yami: Malik! You can't even win this race on your own without using your powers. You have no skill.

Malik: I do have skill!

Yami: Then prove it by leaving my mind alone and playing fair.

Malik: Alright. But I assure you, I'll still win.

Tea: He actually got him to be fair.

Yugi: Yeah, he's really good at that.

Bakura: I have one question. Yami is the spirit of the puzzle. How can he ski. I mean he's a spirit, not a regular human.

Yugi: I wondered that myself. And unfortunatly the writer of this is trapped in the shadow realm so I can't ask.

Yami Bakura: I'm a spirit but I can ski.

Joey: It's because Miake thought it would be cool to have you be able to ski and not be left out.

Yami Bakura: And you know this HOW?

Joey: I asked her before she was deported to shadow city.

Yugi: Actually Joey, it's the shadow REALM.

Joey: Same difference.

Malik: *thinks to self* NO, he's winning! But I might have a way to take his Millenium Puzzle yet.

Pegasus: Hmmm, that Malik looks like he has something on his mind.

Mai: He's probably thinking of a way to get the puzzle.

Pegasus: Well if I couldn't do it, he certainly can't.

Meanwhile....

Kaiba:This place os boring.

Mokuba: And I'm tired of playing go fish. Don't you have any Duel Monsters cards?

Miake: I only have a few. Not nearly enough for a game.

Kaiba: If we don't get rescued soon I'll--

Mokuba: You'll be stuck here forever just like us. There's really nothing we can do.

Miake: We can play more cards. We don't have to play go fish.

Kaiba: *sigh* I'm going to sleep. This is boring.

Meanwhile...

Yami: I won. I beat you Malik. Now you have to let Kaiba, Mokuba and Miake go.

Malik: I'll let everyone get off easy and not have to face me, and I'll release your friends if you do one thing for me. Give me the Millenium Puzzle! And the Maillenium Ring.

Bakura: Never.

Yami: Um, Malik, that's my house. I live in the Puzzle. And I'm not about to give it up to you.

Yugi: NO! You can't have my puzzle.

Malik: Then I'll be forced to send everyone to the shadow realm while I duel with Yugi and Bakura.

*everyone gets sent to the shadow realm*

Mokuba: Whoa, it's getting really crowded here.

Kaiba: *wakes up* What are all of you people doing here.

Mai: Well, Malik decided that he's going to duel Yugi and Bakura and sent us here because he felt like it.

Kaiba: If they lose and we're stuck here forever...

Tea: Yugi won't lose. He has the heart of the cards and his friends behind him.

Joey: Could ya give it a rest Tea.

Tea: Sorry. Force of habit.

Meanwhile...

Yugi: We have a lot on the line. Our friends and the spirits of the Millenium Items.

Bakura: We'll beat Malik.

Malik: You won't beat me.
