Ryou woke up to the words 'milk ans cookies', his mouth watering and his stomach growling.

"WHo said milk and cookies?" he asked urgently, getting really hungry.

"I was making examples" I said before my stomach growled

"I guess it's time to eat" Goku laughed

"Sounds good to me, Goku! I can finally eat now that I've got my own mouth!" Slenderman says to Goku with a happy grin.

Mage smiles up at Melvin after hearing the food related comparisons Austin comes up with.
"Actually, I know what types of food we are, Melvin. I'm a cream puff, and you're a pineapple!" He says while ruffing Melvin's soft, spiky blonde hair gently, and he giggles with his blush turning into a deeper rosy-pink color.

"That's what I'm talking about, you two care about each other" I said

"So where should we all go for lunch?" Goku asked

Ryou giggled

"I thought I was the cream puff, Mage!" He laughed, he stomach growling more.

Melvin flushed a deep red in his cheeks as Mage called him a pineapple and ruffled his hair. He let out a soft and content-sounding purr.

"Aww" I said

"Guys, what should we do for lunch?" Goku repeated

Mage replies to Goku while still ruffing Melvin's hair.
"I'm okay with going anywhere you guys wanna go, Goku. I usually don't mind where I go to eat as long as I'm hungry!" Mage tells him as his stomach growls a bit. Then he giggles. "Although I bet I'd attract a lot of attention wherever we go. If you've ever seen me roam around anywhere outside Ryou-sama's apartment, I always look like I just came out of one of those cosplay conventions where people dress up as famous characters!" Mage admits with a laugh after that.

"I'm with Mage on the lunch thing, Goku. I don't have any preferences on where we should go, though we should probably go somewhere that's gotten good reviews by other people who went there before." Slenderman says to him. He hears what Ryou says about being a cream puff, and he then notices the tint of sky blue coloration in Mage's hair.
"Actually, Ryou's right, Mage. You look more like a cotton candy puff, not a cream puff!" Slenderman tells Mage, trying not to laugh.

The pinkish blush on Mage's cheeks now turn into a deep red blush after hearing what Slenderman says to him. He then buries his entire face in Melvin's chest.
"Nooo I'm not a cotton candy puff just because I have a hint of light blue in my hair, Slendy!" He says as his blush on his cheeks grow warm.

Melvin smirks.
"Heh... Cotton candy puff..." His stomach then growls hungrily. "I'm starved... I could really go for a rarely done steak right about now..." He licks his lips. "My hikari may be a vegetarian, but I'm more like a meatarian..." He chuckles.

"Melvin, Ryou, Austin, how about you guys?" Goku asked

"There's a nice diner down the street guys" I said

Mage glares at Melvin with a fake angry glare.
"I'm not a cotton candy puff, you meatarian palm tree!" He says with a mischievous smile on his face. Then Mage reaches for Melvin's ribs and starts tickling his ribs.

Melvin cracked up with laughter and squirmed around when Mage tickled him.

"Bwahaha!!! N-no! Please, I'm very--ahhahaa!!!--ticklish!!"

The chibi white magician grins mischievously as he stops tickling him, and then uses some of his mana from his prized staff to shrink himself down to his small Monster World pawn size. He lands on the Yami's shoulder, where Mage quickly goes into his shirt, and resumes tickling Melvin's ribs as a mini White Mage.

Seeing what Mage does, Slenderman can't help but to snicker while watching the scene with an amused smile on his face.
"Heheh... Ryou, does Mage tickle people all the time like that?" He asks Ryou, giggling a bit while asking the question.

Melvin squeaked with laughter and tried grabbing the miniature White Mage.
"St-stop! Nuuu!!!" He squirms. "Slenderman, please help me!! Anyone, help me!!"

I walked over and stuck my hand down Melvin's shirt, I grabbed Mage and pulled him out "Can we get some food now?" I asked

"Eep!" The mini Mage makes a startled squeak after Austin grabs him. He chuckles, then sighs with defeat, and he smiles.
"Sorry 'bout that... I was just tickling Melvin because I was bored. But I didn't mean to stall anything." White Mage says to him, then starts squirming a bit in his grasp to try and break free. "Melvin, can I sit on your shoulder while we all go to that diner Austin was talking about? ...And can someone please tell Austin to let me go???" He says as he wiggles around a bit more.

"I will let you go" I said as I put Mage on Melvin's shoulder

Melvin chuckles and beams at Mage sitting on his shoulder.
"Sure, let's go eat!"

Ryou nodded, following everyone to the diner.

Slenderman smiles and nods as well, and sticks close to the group on their way to the diner, still trying to get used to the feel of being out in public without anyone fearing him since he is now a human.

"Hoorayyy!" Mage cheers happily as he is placed on Melvin's shoulder. While the gang heads over to the diner, the mini pawn beams happily up at the blonde spiky-haired Yami, purring sweetly the whole way.

Ryou keeps following, seeming to be silent the whole way there, and sort of invisible.

"Hey Ryou, you ok?" Goku asked

"So Melvin, when you get your own body, what are you going to do first?" I asked

Melvin pondered this.
"I don't know... Probably kill my hikari..." He replied, half joking about this, but half serious.

Ryou nodded silently, then heard Melvin and squeaked, flinching for some odd reason.

Slenderman sees how silent Ryou is, and is worried after seeing him flinching.
"What's the matter, Ryou?" He asks Ryou with a concerned expression.

White Mage hears what Melvin says, and he suddenly gets a little frightened, remembering how much Bakura liked Marik.
"I'm not stopping you from killing Marik, Melvin, but if and when you do..." He pauses and takes a deep breath before speaking to Melvin again. "You do realize Bakura might get back at you by going after me and trying to kill me, right?" Mage tells him, squeaking a bit while saying the word "kill" in that sentence.

"Yeah, it might not be the best idea Melvin" I said

"Yeah, what's wrong buddy?" Goku asked

Melvin sighed.
"Yeah, you're right... I won't do it... But he's soo friggin' annoying though! He deserves to have his throat slit and every last one of his organs ripped out of his body..." (Geez Melvin, take it easy. )

Meanwhile, inside of Marik's soul room, Marik overheard this and huddled up into an even tighter ball than he already was in. He had been crying this entire time. He just wanted Bakura badly.

As soon as Mage hears this, a frozen, horrified look appears on his mini chibi face.
"M-... Melvin... What you just said about Marik being annoying and the throat slitting and organs being ripped out and all... th-that's.." White Mage then pauses for a minute, then gulps and speaks again. "That's what Bakura s-said about me before my Yami saved m-my life!" As he says this to Melvin, a pair of tiny rivers flow down the mini pawn's face as the horrible memory of Shadow Mage's death races through his thoughts. "A-and when Bakura killed him, he cut my Yami's throat open with a knife and then cut his belly open, a-and... Bakura ripped all of his organs out, and..." He chokes on some of his tears, and his fear towards his creator's Yami rises to the surface again. Wanting comfort, Mage hugs onto Melvin's neck, and resumes talking with tears still flowing down his face.
"And Bakura told m-me he'd someday figure out a way to do the exact same thing to me and come up with a reason to get himself out of trouble if he successfully murders me... Melvin, I don't want him to use your hikari's death as his 'reason' to do that to me." He says with a high-pitched squeaky voice while he starts to sob. "My own Yami was taken away from me, and I don't want anything like that to happen a second time! Please, I don't want anything or anyone to take me away from the Yami I have now..." After he says that to Melvin, the mini White Mage looks up at him with kawaii emerald eyes welled-up with tears. "I don't wanna be to be taken away from you, Melvy..."

Ryou stayed a bit hidden, the ring glowing as he resisted Bakura well.

"My god...Bakura's a monster" I said

"If it wasn't for Ryou, I'd rip Bakura in half!" Goku said in anger

Melvin froze and looked at Mage, then at Ryou, then at Austin and Goku.
"I... I didn't know... I'm so sorry, Mage..." He hangs his head low.

Meanwhile, Marik has grown furious inside of Melvin's soul, due to everyone talking bad about Bakura. He tries to take over his body again. Melvin growls as he forms a harsh headache, and as he resists Marik from taking over.

"It's alright, Melvin... My Yami wanted to be friends with Bakura, but no matter how much politeness or kindness he gave him, Bakura always just used it to his advantage and---" Mage drops the sentence as soon as he hears Melvin growling. The chibi white magician becomes filled with worry, and in an attempt to help Melvin, he hugs onto his neck again, and repeatedly nuzzles him in a soothing manner. "Calm down, Melvin. Shhh... I'm right here with you, Melvy.."

Meanwhile, Slenderman silently watches the scene with worry and confusion, wondering what he should do to calm things down before any conflict occurs.

Melvin squeezes his eyes shut and then he suddenly freezes.
"Did... did you just call me Melvy?.." A blush forms on his cheeks, but the moment doesn't last long until another harsh wave of pain takes him over. "No!! No no no! Go away, Marik! Nobody wants you!!! I swear I'll kill you!"

The ring glows more, Bakura taking over and smirking

"Marik~" He called out with a sly smile "I want you~"

The mini Mage also blushes as he nods in confirmation to calling him Melvy, but then when he hears Bakura's voice, he looks at his creator's Yami and squeaks with fear, hugging onto Melvin even tighter.
"Melvy! P-please don't let Bakura hurt me!!" He cries out with frightened tears in his eyes as he stares at Bakura with terror.

Marik was fighting hard now, wanting to be with Bakura, who was calling him. Melvin could feel himself slipping and he gently picked up Mage, his head pounding with pain, and put him in Goku's arms.
"M-Mage... p-please... stay here... You're safe here for now.. Don't worry, I'll find a way to take over my body again... aghhhk!!!" He suddenly disappears as Marik takes over again. He runs over to Bakura and hugs onto him tight.
"Bakura!!!" He whimpered.

Bakura hugged Marik back, smirking at his accomplishment making Marik come back out.

Marik kissed Bakura on the lips as he hugged him close.
"I missed you..."

"I issed you too," he admitted, sighing.

"You'll be ok with me Mage" Goku assured

"Marik...I'm sorry to say this but, Bakura wants to kill Mage, I can't let that happen" I said

Mage quickly hops out of Goku's arms and lands on his two feet onto the ground, where he then uses some of his mana through his prized weapon in order to return back into his human size. Now shaking like a leaf, the chibi magician goes behind Goku's back, hiding behind him and staying close to him.

Slenderman nods in agreement with Austin.
"Austin is right, Marik. Bakura almost killed him last time, and we're not going to let that happen again." He says while glaring at Bakura. Then he crosses his arms and his eyes narrow even more at Bakura. "Why do you want to kill Mage anyway, Bakura? I don't think he's done anything bad towards you, and yet you still want to murder the innocent, harmless magician that always has cute kawaii-ish look on his face! I don't get why anyone would actually feel a sense of great accomplishment by mercilessly murdering an innocent chibi..." Slenderman growls under his breath as he says the last sentence to Bakura.

Marik glared at Slenderman as he hugged onto Bakura.
"Bakura can't help it, he gets these strange episodes where he can't control his anger, and he hurts and kills people that he doesn't mean to... Sort of like my Yami is..." He licks Bakura's neck and kisses him there. "I love you, Bakura..." He says softly to him.

Bakura ignores all the negative comments, just kissing Marik back and purring a bit.

"Marik...Melvin has changed...He's in love with Mage" I said

"Stop making excuses for Bakura!" Goku yelled

Right after overhearing what Austin says aloud to Marik, White Mage's heart jumps, and his jaws go agape. An intense blush appears on his cheeks, and he covers his mouth with his hand.
"He... h-he's in love with me?" The magician thinks to himself, and for a moment, he doesn't believe Melvin would fall in love with him so soon at first... but deep within his heart, Mage hopes what Austin says is completely true. He then looks over at Marik, but speaks directly to Melvin, hoping the Yami hears every word he says.
"Melvin, I hope you can hear me right now, because... I--I have a confession to make to you." Mage says aloud as he slowly takes his hand away from his mouth. He takes a deep breath, then continues to speak to Melvin. "I know it may sound so sudden, but I... wanted to confess that I..." White Mage takes another deep breath of air, then he finishes the sentence with his blush reddening even more, and with a soft smile on his face and with a tear rolling down his cheek that gives his chibi face a lovestruck expression. "...I'm in love with you too, Melvy..."

Bakura grabs Marik's shirt and pulls him into another rough kiss, trying to hold Melvin back the best he could.

Marik kissed Bakura back but he froze when he heard what Mage said. He then hissed with pain as Melvin tried hard to take over his body again.
"No! I just got out! Please, I have a life too, you know!!" He grips onto Bakura, his head pounding with pain. "Help me!" He cried. Melvin was using all of his might to break free again, and Marik was losing consciousness fast.

The ring glowed as Bakura closed his eyes, trying to hold Melvin back the most that he could, hoping he could succeed in making Marik last longer. Bakura hugged him tight, growling a bit as he was using a good portion of his energy through the ring.

Believing Bakura will go after him and hurt him if Melvin successfully takes over again, White Mage remains behind Goku, keeping his staff at the ready just in case he needs to use spells to defend himself from Bakura. With a scared kawaii expression, Mage keeps an eye on his creator's Yami for any signs of sudden aggression towards him, and more tears flow down his face. "Melvin, please don't let my creator's Yami force you back down! I know you can fight the energy from his Millennium Ring!" He shouts to Melvin, and is shaking like a leaf as he says the last few sentences, knowing Bakura will get extremely pissed because he is encouraging Melvin to fight him. "I know you're much stronger than Bakura because you're in love with me, Melvin. When I made my confession, I know you're using that love to show Bakura that not only are you the stronger Yami, but you're proving to me and everyone around us that you do love me. And I was serious when I said I love you, Melvy, because I fell in love with you ever since the first second I saw you..."

Meanwhile, Slenderman decides to help Goku protect Mage by standing behind Goku and standing next to Mage, giving the magician extra protection just in case Bakura goes after him. Ever since he heard what White Mage confesses to Melvin, tears flow down his face as he silently hopes and prays that Melvin will answer Mage's encouragements and successfully take over again.

(OOC: @amethystrose Heyyy you changed your avatar! Lol for a moment, I thought the new avatar you have was Ripto as a frog or something because of the way his mouth was opened like that. )

Inside of Marik, (lol.. xD) Melvin grew determined and extremely motivated to get out. He fought with all of his might against the powers that Bakura was using to hold him back and all of a sudden Marik was knocked out cold on the ground. Melvin woke up and immediately rushed to Mage, wrapping his arms around him tightly and holding him close.
"M-Mage... What Austin said was right... I... I love you. That's the reason I never killed you when I had the perfect chance... I was in love with you..." He lifts Mage's chin up and looks into his eyes, then presses his lips on his, kissing him deeply.

(OOC: Yeah, it's only a temporary change, because we're trying to start a trend here and get a bunch of people to have the same avis. It's Ripto from the worst Spyro game ever made (glitch wise), and the scene where it's taken from is from the opening of said horrible Spyro game. Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X74cY5JJhnc
