V.E.: Now I said I wouldn't start another story, but please just read below before you start to criticize me for lagging behind in my work. Even I get the case of Writer's Block and boredom.

It was perhaps the strangest sight Keira Ravenwood had seen in her short fan created life.

She had been told by her creator to wait in this room until the characters arrived and she had been getting rather anxious. The room for the most part, was devoid of personality. White walls, white floors, white couches. To a girl whose favorite colors are black, red, and purple; not exactly where she'd like to stay. At least there wasn't any pink.

Then with a bright flash of light blue, her waiting packages(I mean people) arrived. Bound, gagged, and struggling to get out of them. Joey Wheeler in particular looked like he was cussing through his bindings.

She was a little bit taken back by how similar these people looked like her 'friends', but considering they were basically younger versions of their parents, she didn't dwell on it too much.

Another flash of light next to her silence them all as it brought their attention to her and the newly arrived master of their fate.

A girl in her teens appeared with a check board and a pen trucked behind her ear. She was about a few inches smaller than Keira, but that didn't seem to bother her. Her hair was a chocolate brown, the same color of her eyes. Her complexion was pale, but with a slight tinge of brown so not to be deathly pale. She wasn't necessarily pretty, with the mole near her nose; but Keira knew that beyond that unassuming appearance was one heck of sarcastic humor.

The authoress looked up from her check board.

"Everyone here?"

Keira scoffed.

"How I am supposed to know? You're the one with the check list."

That thought seemed to catch her as she took out the pen from her ear and scanned the list.

"Oh right, let me check then."

Looking down at the list, she went through a quick mental marking.

"Yugi Muto and Yami/Atem Check, Tea Gardener Check, Joey Wheeler Check, Tristan Taylor Check, Seto Kaiba….."

She looked up at the one to make sure that Kaiba had the double bindings she requested. Sure enough it was so and as soon as she made eye contact, he gave her the iciest glare she had ever seen. Unfazed, she continued with her check list.

"Seto Kaiba Check, Mokuba Kaiba Check, Ryou Bakura and Yami Bakura/Thief King Bakura Check, Marik Ishtar Check, Ishizu Ishtar Check. Mai Valentine Check."

V.E. perked up then because she scanned the list she noticed something.

"We're missing the characters I wanted from the Memory Arc; Mana, Mahad, and Kisara. Where are they?"

Keira shrugged.

"I don't know, you're the boss monkey behind all this."

Her creator shot her a rather dry look.

"Remind me why I created you?"

The blonde banged teenager pointed to the group with her thumb.

"Because you wanted a realistic skeptic in the next generation, along with someone who wasn't actually related to these guys."

"Right, I'll have to get those three next chapter. Kind of running on a schedule right now. Are the cameras set up?"

Keira sighed before answering.

"They've been rolling ever since I've been here. Everyone's already reading about this."

V.E. looked startled as she glanced around the room before turning on her OC.

"And you couldn't have thought to mention that?!"

Keira shrugged.

"You're the one who started this, you're typing it even now. Plus, you know what I'm like."

The authoress sighed.

"Remind me to go over the final profiles of the next generation before I write that time travel fic."

"You mean, if you write it."

Valkyrie Elysia shot her creation a look before sighing.

"Right. Well, better get down to business."

She snapped her fingers and immediately the restraints were gone. Which promoted the immediate gasping for breath before general outbursts.

"HEY YOU!"

"WHAT'S GOING ON!?"

Keira pulled a bull horn out her sack and let it loose.

HOOOONNNNNKKKKK!

After this hearing damage had been done(with the duelists clutching their unfortunate ears), V.E. addressed them with a serious look on her face.

"Please leave all questions and comments until I'm done explaining to the audience. That means you Kaiba and Wheeler."

With that, V.E. turned to face the cameras with a smile.

"Hello, Fan Fiction Users; both authors and readers. I'm Valkyrie Elysia, also known as V.E. in my author's notes. Some of you have probably read my completed piece Blue Eyes Cinderella or are reading my ongoing pieces. And now, here I am to introduce my new project."

Right above her in bright red letters and flashing lights came.

ASK/TORTURE THE YUGIOH CAST!

Not really taking in the reactions of her surrounding characters, the authoress went on.

"That's right people, I'm doing a question and dare show! I'm probably just going to do this for the summer though. At the moment, I've got a little bit of a snag in my stories so I thought this would be a good change of pace. Now let's start with some ground rules…."

"Are you out of your mind?!"

V.E. sighed as she turned back to face Kaiba.

"What part of 'wait til the end' do you not understand? On second thought, bindings back on you go!"

With that, she snapped her fingers again and everyone was gagged as V.E. turned back around with a smile.

"Sorry about that peoples, we all know how they get. Hopefully, they'll get their just desserts next chapter with the requests you put in.

"Now onto the ground rules. Number One, now I know everyone from the series isn't here, but there are just too many and I doubt everyone is going to be asked a question. The ones I have listed will be the regulars. Anyone outside of that I'll have to bring in, though if it's Pegasus or Siegfried it's not going to be pleasant dealing with Kaiba.

"Number two, keep your requests reasonable to an extent and keep them polite. As to what can be asked, no karaoke. This has to do with the site's guidelines, I already got a warning when I posted a oneshot. Anything public domain, like nursery rhymes, is okay though. Also in relation to that, no yaoi or yuri requests. Unless explicitly stated in the canon, I will not write a character gay or lesbian. So please, no puppyshipping or the like."

That mention got Kaiba and Joey's attention who looked ready to yell at the audience if they said otherwise.

Keira looked slightly disturbed at that.

"And I thought Candace and Caleb were impossible."

With that, V.E. moved closer to the rather strange looking teen.

"My assistant here is Keira Ravenwood. If you've seen my Next Generation Duelist Profiles, you'll know who she is. For description and personality, please check her out in the final chapter Ravenwood. I might bring in others from the next generation if you ask, of course for the sake of fun I'm not telling these guys which are their kids. They'll have to guess."

This statement got everyone to look at Keira with their eyes widen in disbelief.

"Also, I know some people on this site are familiar with Yugioh Abridged. I have never watched it, so no questions relating to it please. Crossovers on the other hand, I can see possibly doing.

"Now please review and send in your questions and/or challenges. Oh, for example say one of our hot duelists stripping naked? I know some you ladies are just dying for that!"

The exuberant authoress just smiled and waved as the duelists behind her seemed to be wondering what they were getting into(aside from Kaiba who looked ready to contact his lawyer and Bakura who was trying to find his knife so he could get the authoress a taste of her own medicine).

"Until next time! Also check out my profile for the new poll!"
