After breakfast at an IHop that happened to be on the corner, we all walk back to Yugi's house. Well, most of us. Tea, Duke, Tristan and Ryou have all decided they need to go check if their homes are still in tact and their families are alright and Yugi's grandpa decided to go to the store.

"Shouldn't you go check on your dad?" Yugi asks Joey as we walk back. I turn and walk backwards, facing the two. Joey shrugs. "Eh, if this plan'o hers works, I won't need ta worry 'bout my ole man. All me or Serenity's worried about is our mom, but we'll just call 'er when we get ta your house." I grin and give a thumbs up. "Course my plan'll work! It's a great plan and it'll be fun! We just gotta be careful about it and the whole thing'll go off without a hitch!"

I spin back around and march along. "Once we get back, it's time to get started!" "Yay!" Mokuba cheers. I hear Yami and Yugi sigh when Joey jumps to my side, doing that creepy face thing he does.

You all know what I'm talking about.

THAT face.

"Yee~! We're gonna screw with Kaiba!" I chuckle nervously and speed up, away from Joey's creepy rape face and closer to the safe haven that is Yami. I look back as Joey goes off on Yugi about how excited his is to mess with Seto. I sigh and glance at Yami to see him looking over his shoulder with an amused look on his face. I feel a soft smile tug on my lips. "He's a strange one, that's for sure." I blink up at Yami. "What?" He chuckles and points over his shoulder, turning his eyes to me. "Joey's definitely a peculiar person to know." "Oh, yeah, I guess he is." I giggle and nod.

-Yugi's house-

I burst through the front doors, accidentally shoving Yugi to the side. "Sorry Yuge!" I say, dashing to the kitchen with Mokuba in tow. "Time for some prank calls!" I shout. "But we need to call our mom!" says Serenity. I freeze, glancing back to her. "... ok, fine, check on people, THEN prank calls!"

I turn and skip out of the kitchen, returning to the living room, where the others have settled back into playing video games. I plop down on the couch as Yugi and Joey settle on the ground to play a round of free-for-all with Marik and Bakura.

"Ya know what, screw it. MOVE OVER I WANNA PLAY!"

-several hour later-

"AND SUCK THAT, BIATCH!" I shout, slamming my hand down on the ground. Yugi, Joey and Bakura all yell out in protest as Mokuba and I high-five. The screen whites out as the nuke goes off. "I TOTALED YOU SUCKAS!" I cackle loudly as the other three all sigh. "Well done!" Marik says, holding out one hand. I grin and high five him. "I'm glad you're on our team." laughs Mokuba.

I glance up to see Yami standing in the doorway with his arms crossed, eyes narrowed in thought. With a grin, I hop up and bounce over to the teenaged Pharaoh. "And what're you up to?" I ask. He jumps slightly, turning to me with wide eyes. I giggle and smile. I notice his cheeks getting slightly pink as he takes a step back. "Uh… n-nothing really." I frown poutily and lean forward. "You wouldn't have jumped if it was "nothing"." He glances away, rubbing his cheek with one finger. "I didn't jump." I giggle and pap his cheek. "Suuuure you didn't." He blinks at me with wide eyes.

"I'm done on here if you still want on!" Serenity calls. I jump up happily. "Oo! Yeah, I'm coming!" I spin around and dash into the kitchen. "Joey! Go get the thingy!"

"What thingy?!"

"The voice changer thingy!"

"Oh! That!" Joey pokes his head into the kitchen and tosses me the Darth-Vader-mask looking thing. "Are you gonna do it or…" I shrug. "If you can come up with better threats than me." I glance at Mokuba who is tapping away on a small computer while sitting at the table. "You all set?" I ask. The little boy glances up at me and grins, sending a thumbs up my way. "He'll never know it's us."

"Goody!" I laugh giddily as I attach the weird voice-changer device to my face by clipping it over my mouth. My nose scrunches up as play around with the front, trying to figure out where the buttons are and what they might do. "How's this?" I ask Joey. Said blond jumps back with a startled cry. "Holy cow, Lisa! You sound really creepy!" Blinking, I tap the top of the device. "Really?" Joey cowers in the doorway. "Dude, you sound like some creepy old guy!" I shiver at the thought before playing around with the device again. "JOey, HElp Me fiGURe tHIs thInG oUT."

Joey hurries over and starts messing with it. "Get IT oFF mY fACe fiRST!" "Alright, alright! Just stop talkin'! Yer freakin' me out!" Joey reaches around my head and starts fumbling with the strap. "JOey! HuRRy uP!"

"What is going on in here?!" Joey spins around, ripping the voice thingy off my face. I yelp and stumble backwards, rubbing my face and the back of my head. "OW! What the fuck Jo! That actually kinda HURT!" I glance over to see Yami and Yugi looking on with very confused looks. "What are you nerds looking at?!" I snap, still rubbing my mouth. "Never seen someone with a voice changer thingy?!" Both of them jump with wide eyes. "Uhm…" I plop down and rub my chin and cheeks with a tired sigh. Mokuba pulls a chair over and clambers up, setting an ice pack on my cheek. I shoot him a small smile and glance back to Yami and Yugi embarrassedly. "Sorry guys." "I-it's okay." says Yugi. "Uhm, me and Yami are going with the others to check on Tristan, Ryou and Tea." "What are you two up to?" asks Yami. I look up at Joey, who's messing with the voice thingy. Turning back to the two spiky-haired boys, I chuckle and rub the back of my head. "Well, Yami knows what we're doing, but, since you don't know, Yugi, I'll tell you." I lean back in the chair, still holding the ice pack in place.

"See, what we're doing is-"

And it's gonna need all of you to make sure it works!" I fan my arm out, pointing to everyone. The others, except for Yami and Ryou, glance at each other with big grins. I suddenly feel like a gang boss and it feels awesome. "Alright guys, chill out so I can explain this whole thing!" Everyone, still grinning, turns to me. I cross my arms and chuckle. "Alright, first things first. Joey, go back into the game store and see if you can find a voice changer thingy." "Voice changer thingy?" asks Yami. Smiling awkwardly, I nod. "Ye-yeah… I'm not exactly sure what the actual name for it is, but you get the idea." "What do you need it for?" Bakura asks, crossing his arms. I grin and rock from my spot on the counter. "Well, see here Bakura, we're gonna be…. sending a few calls to a certain tall, arrogant, CEO and…" my wrist swivels as I attempt to grasp for a word. "..convince him that there's an un-named group of terrorists out for him for "no apparent reason"." I giggle at the gaping mouths from the others. "YOU WANT TO DO WHAT?!" shouts Tristan.

"Well, aside from sending him calls that threaten some corporate secret only he or Mokuba knows, I've already got Ivy writing letters that threaten to expose personal secrets or spread ridiculous rumors, and then Mokuba is setting up a thing so we can send weird texts to him from an "unidentifiable number" or something." I grin at the others as Joey returns with a Darth-Vader looking mask. "Found one!" he says, handing it to me. I grin and take it. "Alright. That's one thing down. Now we just gotta get everything set up." I point to Bakura and Marik. "You two will be in charge of making the freaky text messages. If you need info on anything, ask Mokuba." Marik grins and elbows Bakura who huffs and crosses his arms. "And I do mean ask." Marik nods. "Alright, alright, we've got this! Come on Bakura!" The Egyptian drags the Brit away, Bakura shouting in surprise.

The others glance after them as I snicker. "They are so gay." I whisper. "What Lisa?" Yami shoots me a look. "Wha? Oh, it's nothing." I shake my head. "Anyways. Joey, you and me will take care of doing the calls, using the voice changer. Tristan, I want you to be the one to sneak into Seto's office and deliver the letters." "What?!" I nod at Tristan's yelp. "Yup. You'll be delivering Ivy's letters to Seto's desk. Make sure when you do, it's just after he's left for a few minutes. if you put the letter in before he goes someplace for a long time, someone else might take it. And if wait for too short a break then someone could catch you and then this whole thing will go up in flames. " Tristan gulps nervously. "M-maybe you should have Joey do it instead." I sigh and rest my cheek on my hand. "Well then Joey's gonna wait around and fight Seto and then this whole plan goes to hell and you don't get to chill with Serenity."

"Wait a minute!" Ryou butts in. "What is the whole point of this scheme of yours Lisa? What are we going to get out of pranking Seto like this?!" I throw my head back in a laugh. "Prank?! Who said this was a prank? We're throwing together a full up scam! A con! If I know Seto the way I think I do, if he's convinced some un-named group is out to get him and Mokuba, he'll want to find someplace they won't know exists to hide out until he can find or draw them out." I pull a set of transparent maps from the counter. "I've done the research. That field I woke up in the other day along with the cabin I found Seto and Mokuba in isn't on a map from either of our worlds." I place the maps on top of each other and set them on the table. "It's the perfect place for him to create a safehouse or something. And when that happens, we can convince him to let us all stay there. None of us have to deal with parents or other people if we don't want to. We may not even have to go to school!"

"I see alot of flaws in this plan." Yami points out. I shrug. "Well, obviously a few details need ironed out, but still." He sighs and shakes his head. "I mean, what if Kaiba doesn't act the way you think he will." I grin and tap his forehead. "You let me do the thinking about the plan, you just stick to your card games."

Yugi looks appalled as Yami tries to keep from looking in my direction. I look over at Joey. "You got it figured out yet?" Joey holds it up to his mouth. "How do I sound?" he asks, his voice coming out super high pitched. My cheeks puff up as Yami's eyes widen and Yugi's face turns red.

"What?" asks Joey. Yugi and I both burst into laughter, both of us falling over. "Jooooeeeeyyyy!" I giggle hysterically. "You sound so weeeeiiiiirrrrddd!" Joey puts it down and glances over at Yami who's face is tinting red. "She's not lying." he chuckles. Joey fumes angrily. "It's not my fault! She's the one who told me to figure the dumb thing out!" I almost respond, but I keel back over, still giggling. "Y-you soun-ded l-like a-a g-girl!" Yugi's laughter echoes my own and I suppose at some point, Joey starts laughing too, because his laughter joins in as well.

-Ivy's POV-

As Lisa and the others' laughter echoes upstairs, I continue typing away on Yugi's computer. Grumbling, I click the save button. "I'll delete it when it's sent." Standing, I stretch and mumble a few curse words before heading downstairs.

"-we wouldn't want that loose, now would we, Mr. Kaiba?" I peek into the kitchen to see Lisa and Joey around the phone, Lisa wearing a weird Darth-Vader looking mask. Where did that voice come from then? It was too deep to be Yami… "Yes, of course we'd tell you who we are." Lisa says sarcastically, her voice deep and utterly weird. Well, that answers that question.

"Ivy?" I turn around to see Yugi and Marik standing by the shop's front doors. "Oh, hey Yugi, hey Marik. What are you guys doing?" Marik shrugs. "We're gonna go check up on the others." says Yugi. "Wanna come with us?" I glance back as Lisa and Joey high-five, laughing and babbling on, probably about whatever they were just doing. I turn back to Yugi and nod. "Sure, I'm up for walking around."

-end chapter 8-

BAM! Chapter 8 is DONE! Next chapter will hopefully have more Ivy in it than these past few have.

Last chapter's GTC was The Dork King. (HEY!) It was Yami, incase "Dork King" didn't do it for you.

(As I'm running low on these, I may stop writing these, so here goes what may be the last GTC. (they were fun while they lasted.))

Only person to hit the author so far. Brash. Loud.
