"I never thought I'd have a hard time choosing between My Bathroom, Creamed Corn, and Skinheads." -a game of Apples to Apples

“Yuy is right. We have to proceed with caution and make certain that the house is secure."

"Personally I think we should waltz right in and call out 'anybody home'," muttered Trowa. "Then we'd know for sure if the place was under siege or not."

10 Best reasons Gay Marriage is wrong:

1. Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

2. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

4. Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

5. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

6. Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

7. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

8. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

9. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

"Your dad sounds funny when he sings falsetto. At some points it sounds like someone shoved a frog up his

nose..." -my friend Katie S.

-

At that precise moment, Heero's phone decided to ring. He picked it up.

"Yuy."

"Hey hee-chan!" came Duo's perky, if rather distracted, voice.

"...you're calling me why, exactly?"

"Packing. Have you seen my white sock with the green stripe on the ankle?"

Heero scowled. "No. like I'd wear your socks." Automatically he glanced down at his feet. To his dismay, his socks were two faintly different shades of white. He turned his foot to the side to get a view of the ankle.

"Ahem. Might possibly have sock."

"....We neeeeeed to break Wufei of that habit of grabbing two random white socks and stickin' em together in a pair when he does laundry."

"Agreed."

-

Duo waltzed into the room, not seeming to realize that there was a slew of (now incapitated) guards in the hallway. He was wearing a black tee-shirt and a pair of jeans with an embroidered dragon up the left leg. Heero raised an eyebrow.

"You’re wearing my pants" he commented.

"You're wearing my sock" Duo shot back.

*Stupid cow! If she doesn't shut up soon, I'll--*

/You--you can't kill her!/

A pause, then Bakura snorted. *Stop me.*

/We....err.....she...she's going to teach us MacBeth next week./

*And what the hell is a MacBeth?*

/Ahh...err...it's another one of Shakespeare's plays, a tragedy!/

He felt the small tingling on the back of his head, like someone was scratching his skull softly. Bakura was interested, and Ryou continued tentatively.

/With a lot of....ahmm....deceptions, and betrayals, and murders, and....well, you know./

*.....continue.*

/Many people died./

*Did they.*

/Yes.... very bloodily./

Malik brushed the hair from his shoulders and stood up to face the mirrors, only to discover that there were no mirrors in the boys' bathroom. "Uh… I'd like to see what you've done to me."

The three looked at each other for a moment, before Ryou tentatively said, "There are mirrors in the girls' bathroom, aren't there?"

"We're guys," said Kaiba patiently.

"We're gay," said Ryou patiently.

"Speak for yourselves," Kaiba muttered. "You can go in. I'll wait outside."

Except they still wouldn’t… couldn’t… stand a chance against people experienced with core magic. Against demons, who used core magic almost exclusively; Harry remembered that much. Only a handful of students had passed Kurama during Genkai’s assessment test. Malfoy had vanished, his crystal magic apparently useless. And that was against a demon who wasn’t seriously trying to hurt them (and had, no doubt, been secretly laughing at them the entire time)

Goten and chibi Trunks lay on their bellies on the floor, staring up the TV screen with matching expressions of slack jawed awe. Near them, Gohan was sprawled across the prone form of Mirai Trunks with his hands buried in his lover's shoulder length hair. The future incarnation of her son was smiling in sleepy bliss at the attention. Bulma despaired of ever again getting his damn hair to a decent length.

Vegeta was seated in one corner of the massive couch, a look of intense satisfaction on his face from watching human cities go up in balls of fiery death. Or from having Yamcha face down in his lap. It was hard to tell. Goku sat on the other end of the couch with Yamcha's feet on his thighs, diligently working his way through a bowl of popcorn. Lastly, Chichi was curled up in the armchair, eyeing Vegeta as if seriously considering her chances of survival if she tried to take the remote from him.

My Family, by Briefs Trunks

Son of Vegeta no Ouji of the Royal House of Vegetasei

I live with my family at the Capsule Corporation head quarters in Satan City. Our house is huge, which is good because there is a lot of us and we need the space. The walls are all soundproofed, too. This is even better.

My mother, Bulma, is the president of Capsule Corp. and rules with an iron fist. Many of the old executives and staff were stealing from the company when my grandfather ran it, but mom completely cleaned house. Our profit margin has risen by over 20% and our productivity is twice what it was.

Mom can be a little dramatic sometimes. Especially when I blow something up or stay out all week training or terrorize the city. Otherwise, she's really fun to be around. She lets me help out with her inventions, tells the best stories, and even taught me how to drive a tank and use firearms. I asked her one time if she ever thought about ruling the world. She laughed and said "I already do."

My father is Vegeta no Ouji, one of the two survivors of a race of aliens called Saiyajin. They were an incredibly powerful people and being a half-breed, I share that power. Papa is a prince and would have been king of his home world if some tyrant hadn't fried the place. He originally came to Chikyuu to destroy it, but Goku, another Saiyajin and my best friend Goten's father, kicked him around until he changed his mind.

Papa is very strong and smart and focused. Nothing is beyond his capabilities. He's a little scary, too. The one time papa got a telemarketer call he tracked down the source and destroyed the building. He even let me and Goten come along. It was great fun.

He had a hard time growing up, so he's not very good at saying what he means, but I've learned to hear him anyways. And I know that's he is a lot happier now that he's gotten together with Yamacha and Goku.

Way back before I was born, Yamcha was my mother's boyfriend. That didn't last, obviously, but they stayed close. A couple years ago, Yamcha lost his apartment and came to stay at Capsule Corp. for a while. He's kind of flighty and downright annoying at times, but for the most part he's just. . .nice. For some reason, my dad started following him around the complex. It when on for weeks, until papa cornered him in the gym and several hours later, they came out half-naked and covered in bite marks. The next day, Yamcha moved into papa's rooms and hasn't stopped smiling since.

Goku, like I mention earlier, is the other full-blooded Saiyajin and he and papa have known each other since forever. Papa has spent most of that time trying to turn Goku into a greasy smear on the ground. Which is kind of useless, because Goku's died a couple times already and that hasn't stopped him yet. He is the most powerful person in the universe (several gods have told us so) and has saved the world countless times. He's also an idiot.

Not long after he came back to life this last time, his wife, Chichi, fell in love with my mom and they decided to go steady. Goku didn't care much about losing a wife, but he threw all kinds of fits over losing a cook. Cooks after all, should be worshiped and Chichi is one of the best. So when Chichi moved in with us, Goku came with her.

I don't know how he ended up with papa and Yamcha-tousan---Goten thinks he just walked in on them one night and never bothered to leave.

Goten and Gohan are Goku's sons. Gohan is the oldest and totally cool expect for that weird superhero thing. He used to have his own apartment and a girlfriend. Then Mirai Trunks showed up.

Mirai Tunks comes from an alternate future timeline, where everybody is dead. Genetically speaking, we are the same person but our personalities are completely different. He's also years older than me. Mirai is like my father in a lot of ways. I used to be so jealous of him because he and papa had this understanding that I wasn't a part of. Then Goku said how sad it was for Trunks growing up without a father, how hard it had been for him to lose everyone he cared about. I wasn't as jealous after that.

And Mirai let me play with his sword. It was awesome.

Anyway, Mirai Trunks had come to stay in our dimension permanently because his mother had died. When he and Gohan saw each other, they both got this strange, sparkly look in their eyes. They so obviously wanted to be boyfriends, but Gohan still had Videl and was all wishy-washy about dumping her. He can be such a dork sometimes. Trunks spent weeks going around sighing "Gohan-sensei" until papa snarled at him to either shut-up or do something about it.

Gohan moved in a week later. Videl still hasn't gotten out of the psych ward.

Goten is Gohan's little brother and the best person alive. Goten's a demi-saiyajin just like me, though not as strong of course, and I've known him since he was a baby. Even when he's not there, I can feel him in the back of my head, like a piece of light I always carry with me. He's warm and open and happy, and really wicked underneath it all. We get into all kinds of trouble together. Just yesterday we went flying all over the shopping center and Gohan nearly had a coronary trying to catch us. We love to do stuff like that. Fighting is neat too, but only when it's for practice. Fighting to save the world isn't nearly as much fun.

My family is big and more than a little crazy. I couldn't ask for anything better.

-

Just then, Mrs. Son let out a furious squawk. "What the hell? Why that pastel-haired little dirt-sucker!"

Karoushi grimaced and raised his hand in preparation to calm the oncoming fit. Uh oh, he thought, she must have gotten to the part where. . .

"He passed me off as the cook! Is that all I am to him?!"

-

Like a pack of hunting dogs, the five warriors waited, tense and listening, for their quarry. Yamcha wondered what would happen if he threw a stick for them.

-

"I suppose I should," Gohan sighed, "Wait, stop. Don't harm those innocent people," he intoned with considerably less than the usual Superhero dramatics

-

Chichi took several deep breaths, not to calm herself, but to make sure she would have enough oxygen for when she started screaming.

-

"You're right!" Chichi said, swinging from borderline homicidal to cheerful with her usual ease, "I hadn't thought of that."

-

It should be noted that her eldest son being gay---and her youngest son's intentions to marry his best friend---had not dented her plans to see them siring offspring in the slightest. After all, she'd spent seventeen years with a man and bore him two children despite her preference for other women. Gohan would make her a grandmother if she had to hogtie him to do it

-

Karoushi shivered involuntarily, but determinedly plowed onward. "So you admit to being engaged in a polyamorous homosexual relationship?" he said in a challenging tone.

Vegeta opened his mouth to respond, then stopped and looked questioningly at Bulma.

"Yes, you are," she said, amused.

"Yes, I am," Vegeta said to Karoushi, then to Bulma in scornful amazement, "You idiots actually have *words* for it?"

-

Three of them were in the middle of card game with Goten and Trunks the younger and appeared to be losing badly. Four others were cheering Yamcha and Gohan on through a martial arts demonstration. Two more and Mirai Trunks were visible from the waist down under a beat up old car. From the various tools and parts scattered around them, they were doing some extensive---and possible illegal---modifications to the old hunk. Someone had dug a fire pit into the cement and Goku was roasting something suspiciously dog-like over the flames, while the last strange youth lounged in the doorway of *Bulma's* aircar, smoking and nodding his head time with the rock music coming from inside.

That is not how normal people reacted when you pulled a gun on them and locked them in a room. Well, Quatre, maybe. But he was a Gundam pilot and thus exempt from all accusations of normalcy.

-

Duo tensed as the line of men broke and started toward them. One Preventer and two whatever-they-were against six armed adversaries was bad odds, even without the two gunmen on the roof. If he could disarm one and use him as a shield while he took out the rest…

Two shots cracked out and the gunmen on the roof crumpled. The suit didn't wait to see what had happened, he just took off running.

Or his backup could finally show the hell up. That could work, too.

-

His first impulse was to eliminate it. Strange occult symbols rarely meant anything good, and circular occult symbols often spoke of summoning circles or portals – neither of which Kurama wanted in his bathroom. He had a mental image of someone trying to summon him in the middle of a shower, or netherworld entities attacking while Kuwabara was brushing his teeth. Both were definitely scenarios to avoid, although the latter might be fun if he had a camera with him at the time.

-

Yuusuke was on the Tarzan level of Kingdom Hearts, getting his ass kicked by evil monkeys for about the twentieth time, when Genkai appeared in the door way and threw the phone at his head. He ducked on reflex and caught the phone in his left hand, tucked it under his ear and quickly had Sora keyblade a heartless into non-existence. "What?"

-

It was narrow enough that he had to crawl, and his shoulders scraped against the walls if he wasn't careful. But the dirt was hard packed and rock solid – not freshly dug. It was as if the tunnel had been there for many years, waiting for someone to cross through the summoning circle.

Of all the things he hadn't wanted to find in his bathroom…

-

Kuwabara gaped at him for a minute. "You're just being a jerk now, aren't you? You're totally making this crap up just to freak me – what are you doing?"

Urameshi casually pointed an index finger at the bathroom door. "We want the door open, right?"

"Door open, yes! House and neighborhood demolished, no. Put that thing away!"

“You're overreacting."

"You're trying to blow up my house!"

-

"That room doesn't exist anymore," Urameshi said.

Hiei shrugged, casting Kuwabara a blatantly doubtful look. "That's not the most accurate statement."

Kuwabara flipped him off.

Urameshi crossed his arms and began to look testy. "So what the fuck is the most accurate statement?"

"I don't know. But attempting to interfere with the situation before we understand it is-"

"What we always do?"

"Inordinately stupid."

Kuwabara grinned at Urameshi. "Yeah. What we always do."

-

Yuugi patted his shoulder in mock sympathy. “Atemu, perhaps you’ve noticed that when you walk into a room, they don’t see a vertically challenged, spiky haired teenager. They don’t even see a 3000 year old man. No, the problem is, when you walk in, little rockets go off behind you. All the other people become blurry and hazy. The room glows, and ‘When you wish upon a star’ starts playing in the background. You may not be aware of this, but there’s this bright neon sign just above your head saying, ‘Ladies! Your God has arrived!’” Yuugi laughed. “You’re hopeless, pal. Doomed to be followed by fans for the rest of your life!” Atemu rolled his eyes as the doorbell rang.

A few curses, punches, an overturned couch and a water hose later, everyone was ready to listen to him. – Heero’s week by asaka kereru

((Finally! I was starting to think nothing interesting was going to happen!))

(I don't think this is exactly in the definition of 'interesting'.)

(Of course it is! Can you imagine how dull life would be if there were no risks?))

(For risks perhaps, but life threatening situations I can do without thank you.)

((Someday,)) Bakura declared decisively, ((I will have to teach you that life is only fun when there is possibility of losing it.))

(Oh.I'm not sure I want to learn that.)

Bakura grinned, ((You'll love it! The exile ration! The excitement! The anticipation! If I can enjoy it, so can you.))

Ryou seriously doubted this but didn't remark on it.

“So, can we visit the joke shop now?” Malik asked impatiently. But instead of waiting for an answer, he lengthened his stride and moved off without a backward glance.

“Well,” Yugi rubbed the back of his neck, “I…guess we’d better follow then.”

“A joke shop…a joke shop…” Ryou murmured under his breath. “Oh, why don’t I like the sound of that?”

“Because it’s Malik talking?”

“Oh, right…”

“Maxwell, I never thought you’d be the type to know your literacy history.” Wufei had prompted. But Duo had just shrugged it off.

“Yeah well, when you talk as much as me… it helps if you have an endless supply of otherwise useless information.” – That was bloody brilliant by Ryoko Porter

-

“You’ll be lucky if she’s not calling up hit men right now to take you out.” Duo grinned. “It might not be safe to go home.”

“As long as she’s not there.”

“Nah. She’s probably calling the others to pump them for info.”

“Oh no...”

“Oh, it’s not so bad. Depends who answers. Quatre would listen to her rant, Wufei would call her a stupid onna and hang up on her and Trowa would just put the phone down someplace and go back to sleep.”
