CHARACTERS: Sunuru, ProtoMan, Bakura, MegaMan, Mom, Dad, Keyki, Grammy, Grampy, Aunt Shelly, Aunt Deni (Den-Den), TJ
PREVIOUSLY: Sunuru and ProtoMan found out that Bakura is sharing his body with Yami Bakura, an ancient Egyptian spirit with a taste for whiskey. Thank goodness the family is very forgiving, and ended up letting poor Ryou stay anyway. However, with Winter Break's arrival, comes visits to family--that means our friends will have to keep Yami under control at the yearly Christmas party... and there will be champagne...

MOM: Sunuru, Keyki, hurry up! We're leaving for Grammy and Grampy's in a few minutes!
KEYKI: Coming! MegaMan, hurry up and put this coat on.
MEGAMAN: Okay. Darn it--the zipper's stuck!
PROTOMAN: Guys, Sunuru's parents aren't going to wait for us any longer. We have to get downstairs now!
BAKURA: Let's not allow our anger to get the best of us, ProtoMan. I'm sure we're not running too late.
PROTOMAN: It's eleven thirty! We're supposed to be at the farm by twelve!
SUNURU: ...And it takes about an hour and a half to get there.
BAKURA: Good gracious! Hurry up, MegaMan!
MEGAMAN: Hang on... Okay, I've got it! Let's go, Keyki.
(Sunuru and Keyki carry the Cyberus, and rush down the stairs.)
SUNURU: We're here!
DAD: Finally. I thought you two would never come down. We're going to be so late...
BAKURA: I'm very sorry, sire! I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience--
YAMI: Aw, shut your mouth, hikari.
MOM: Yami Bakura... manners.
PROTOMAN: There's no TIME for manners! We've gotta get goin' right now!
(The family walks outside, and hops into their minivan named Rosie. Mom starts up the van, and they take off... It took em' long enough!)
MEGAMAN: So, your grandparents live on a farm?
SUNURU: Yup. Every year we have a big old party to celebrate Christmas. Sadly, Grammy and Grampy have no idea you Cyberus even exist yet... That's why I only brought you three. It might be best to bring a small amount of you guys just in case.
MEGAMAN: Your grandparents are gonna love us!
PROTOMAN: Feh. Yeah right. I'm sure they'll adore a worthless weakling.
YAMI: ProtoMan's right. The one they'll truly adore is ME. After all, I AM perfect. I mean look at me! I am the definition of perfection.
KEYKI: You aren't perfect!
YAMI: Oh yes I aaammm....
DAD: Yami Bakura, stop that!!
(Two hours later... We added a half hour because MegaMan had to go potty, ProtoMan wanted to get "somethin' ta eat", Bakura needed some paper to write a poem, Yami wanted to get himself a new throwing knife, and MegaMan had to go potty again)
MOM: At last, we're here!
DAD: I guess we're not TOO late...
KEYKI: Yeah right. We're super late!
(Grammy comes outside.)
GRAMMY: You're here! We were just about to call you and see if you were okay. Sunuru, Keyki, how nice to see you again! Look how much you've grown!
SUNURU: I'm like a trumpet vine, huh?
GRAMMY: That might be going a little too far, Sunuru. You're still short enough to fit through a doorway without ducking.
(Grampy comes out, too.)
GRAMPY: Hey there, Rusty!
KEYKI: My name is Keyki!
MOM: Guys, there are a few demons--er--people I'd like you to meet.
GRAMMY: Who are they, Suza?
(Yami jumps out of the van, and ProtoMan and MegaMan follow.)
YAMI: I feel like I just drank sixteen gallons of grape juice, and washed it down with the Nile. Where in Ra's name is the bloody bathroom!?
GRAMPY: Uh... Hello...?
YAMI: Shut up! I want a toilet--NOW!!
SUNURU: Yami, that's enough! Introduce yourself POLITELY.
YAMI: Hmph. My name is Yami--and I've gotta go!!
PROTOMAN: I'm ProtoMan. Nice ta meet ya.
MEGAMAN: Hi there; my name is MegaMan.
GRAMMY: Are you all... dolls?
BAKURA: No, ma'am. We're miniature demons called Cyberus who used to live inside of the computer, wrapped up in this horrible war with the Kayons--mutated Cyberus--when Sunuru found our crumbling civilization, and agreed to give us a place to hide. We transferred our data to the bodies of dolls, and started living with her as her children.
GRAMPY: Now if that isn't a change of heart, I don't know what is.
BAKURA: Ha ha ha! No, no! I'm Ryou--Yami's my split personality! *too-sweet-for-comfort smile*
YAMI: And his "split personality" needs A BATHROOM!!!
GRAMMY: Alright--no need to explode. The bathroom is inside. Can you show him to the bathroom?
GRAMPY: Sure. Come right inside, everyone.
MEGAMAN: This is gonna be fun!
(Everybody follows Grammy and Grampy inside, and Yami is led to the bathroom. After all of that... business is taken care of, the Cyberus line up to meet the others.)
AUNT SHELLY: So you're the little doll people?
PROTOMAN: Who're ya callin' doll people? We're Cyberus, woman!
AUNT SHELLY: Sorry! Didn't know that would offend you. My name is Shelly--pleased to meet all of you... Gosh, you're cute.
MEGAMAN: Shucks!
AUNT SHELLY: And, the one with the white hair--she's very pretty.
PROTOMAN: That's a--
BAKURA: Boy...
AUNT SHELLY: Holy Mustard!!!
YAMI: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
PROTOMAN: That's Bakura's split personality.
AUNT DENI: Hmm. Interesting. Hey, Mr. Evil Person, how did you get your hair to go all FLOOF like that? Those spikes are outrageous.
YAMI: My hair is better than yours will ever be, and how I get it that way is my little secret.
TJ: You look like those comic-book dudes... In the tights...
PROTOMAN: I ain't warin' no tights!!
TJ: Loud little guy, aren't ya?
PROTOMAN: Grr...
SUNURU: Settle down, you guys. That's Aunt Shelly, Aunt Den-Den, and TJ, our cousin. Please treat them with respect.
PROTOMAN: He...llo... I'm... Proto...Man...*clenched teeth*
BAKURA: Good day. I'm Ryou Bakura! *sparkle sparkle*
YAMI: I'm drunk--I mean, Yami... *malevolent smirk*
MEGAMAN: Hi, guys!! I'm MegaMan! *ka-ching wink*
SUNURU: Good. Supper is almost ready, so please wash up. There's a nice stool in the bathroom for all of you to reach the tap with.
PROTOMAN: Alrighty. C'mon, brothers.
(The three walk into the bathroom.)
AUNT SHELLY: You're a little mother, aren't you?
TJ: I hope she's motherly enough to make that "Yami" dude leave us alone.
AUNT DENI: I like MegaMan quite a bit. He's so cute! I really thought Ryou was a girl, though.
SUNURU: A lot of people do.
GRAMMY: Dinnertime!!!
KEYKI: Good! I'm starved!!
MOM: Me too. What are we having, Mom?
GRAMMY: Lobster, crab, scallops, shrimp, salmon...
(The Cyberus come back into the room.)
YAMI: Where's the rare steak, mortal!?
GRAMMY: Ahem! I didn't finish. I have rice, broccoli, corn on the cob, STEAK, made rare for Keyki and Deni, calamari, lo-mein, and a bunch of Chinese dinners.
MEGAMAN: What about drinks?
GRAMMY: Dr. Pepper, champagne, milk, chocolate milk, strawberry milk, Sherly Temples, lemonade, water, Gatorade, Sprite, and Coke.
PROTOMAN: Is this place a restaurant?
GRAMPY: No. It's just a place that has a bunch of very hungry people inside at the present time.
MEGAMAN: You've got that right!!!
YAMI: GIVE ME SOME CHAMPAGNE AND A RARE STEAK!!!
SUNURU: Oh boy...
PROTOMAN: What are we waiting for?
GRAMPY: Okay then... let's eat!
TO BE CONTINUED...
