Bluest Eyes in Texas

By: DJ Rodriguez

(Author's Note: This little songfic here is a bit humorous, but also cool. I was inspired by The Bluest Eyes In Texas by A-Camp. I heard the song while watching my recorded video Sea World's All-Star Lone-Star Celebration.

Yugi: I'm just going to have some fun here, but knowing DJ… it's going to add up to a whole mess.

Darien: In any case, we hope you understand. Now, enjoy!

Now, on with the fanfic!)

Yugi and the others were invited by Mokuba to witness the grand opening of KaibaLand, one of the largest theme parks in the world. Although Joey and Tristen were more then reluctant to go, Yugi and Téa convinced them to come with them.

"I really hope this theme park of Kaiba's is good at least.", Joey spat out as they drove to the area via Mokuba's limo.

When the limo stopped, the driver soon opened the door the guests. When they stepped out, they stood in awe at was in front of them.

KaibaLand was huge, about twice the size of Sea World! It was set up near a cliff that overlooked the ocean, and many tall, domed buildings dotted the landscape. Although it wouldn't open until tomorrow, Mokuba allowed the gang for a sneak-peek. As they passed the blue steel gates, the four guests were just wide-eyed in wonder at the sheer size of the park.

"Come on, everyone! The video arcade is up here!", Mokuba exclaimed as he raced towards a two-story blue building. The gang followed him, very much stoked.

"Yugi, can you please bring Yami out?", Téa asked politely.

Yugi was crushed, because he wanted to spend the day with her. But, rather then complain, he merely hid his disappointment and transformed into Yami.

'Will I… ever meet someone who'll like ME?', he thought.

When the group entered the room, they were in awe on how many coin-op machines they saw! The first floor had about over 240 machine games, all of them up-to-date and/or popular. Joey and Tristen whooped it up, running to go play Tekken Tag-Team. Yami and Téa just watched in amusement, while Yugi could only smile sadly in ethereal form.

Mokuba called out to them, "Come on, guys! The elevator here takes us to the second floor of the arcade!".

The two pulled the video game maniacs away from the machine game, followed Mokuba into the elevator, and rode up to the top. When they arrived and the doors opened, they found themselves surrounded by large virtual machine pods of every design.

"My bro is always fascinated by virtual reality, so this floor is dedicated to them.", Mokuba explained.

Joey and Tristen got into some of them, while Téa examined some interesting ones. Yami was about to check some of the games out himself, when he noticed Yugi in his Soul Room. To the pharaoh, he seemed too quiet and an air of sadness was thick around him.

'Hikari, do you want to take a look at these machines too?', he asked.

Yugi looked at him, forced a smile, and answered, 'Sure, Yami. But, only for a little while.'.

Yugi took over once again, and started to slowly examine the pods and machines. When he was going to another one, he saw an empty room in the right-side corner of the large room. Making sure the others didn't see him, he carefully made his way to the dark, empty room.

He felt around for a switch, and when he finally found it and turned the lights on, he was both amazed and puzzled to see a karaoke player set up in the empty room.

"I guess Kaiba likes to sing as well.", the young hero assumed.

He walked slowly and carefully, making sure not to damage anything. He saw that the power was on, and everything was set up. He soon got an idea on how to release all of his pent-up sorrow and sadness.

'Its better then keeping them inside myself.', he assumed.

He went to the large CD rack, checked the discs, and soon found an old favorite he liked very much. It was the American song The Bluest Eyes In Texas by A-Camp. He took it out, inserted it in the CD player, and went to the stage. He took the microphone off the stand and looked around to make sure no one saw him.

Unfortunately for him, a couple of mischievous crew workers saw the young man and decided to play a little joke on him. They hacked into the computer system, did some re-routing, and soon turned on the small camera situated in front of Yugi. The hero assumed it was off, and thought little of it.

"Wait till that kid sees that he was singing… to the entire nation!!", one of crew workers chuckled as they both slinked away.

The music came on clear, Yugi now getting in the mood, and in a few moments he was singing his heart and soul out. To him, no one else was there and the song was all that was important.

The lonesome Texas sun was setting low

And in the review mirror I watched it go

I can still see the wind in her golden hair

I close my eyes for a moment, I'm still here

As Yugi sang the song, from his Soul Room, the maze was slowly changing. It was turned from a labyrinth of confusing stairs, to a large indoor coliseum. Yugi, in ethereal form, was standing in the middle, still singing and oblivious to everything. The song and music were playing from overhead, but that wasn't the strange thing going on.

From the darkness, plenty of various Duel Monsters came form and took a seat in the massive coliseum. Apparently, they all wanted to hear their little Master sing. The Dark Magician and the Dark Magician Girl took front row seats, and soon, Yugi was spellbinding them with his rich, soulful voice.

Yami was in the crowd as well, listening intently to his hikari. He was not surprised that Yugi could sing well, the small hero keeping the little talent a secret. But now, he felt the strength, the power of his soul being poured into the song.

'Its like he's… singing about someone.', he assumed.

The female monsters had a strange glazed look in their eyes as they sighed in content, listening closely and being softly swayed by the song and music.

The bluest eyes in Texas

Are haunting me tonight

Like the stars that fill

The midnight sky

Her memory fills my mind

(Where did I go wrong?)

Did I wait too long

Or can I make it right

The bluest eyes in Texas (the bluest eyes)

Are haunting me tonight

As Yugi continued to sing, he was unaware of anything or anyone. Not even when his friends were watching and listening him intently. Joey, Mokuba, and Tristen were just amazed on how they never knew Yugi could sing.

Téa was amazed, but it wasn't just that discovering Yugi could sing. No, she was amazed on how soulful and deep his singing was. 'It feels so… powerful, strong. Rich and warm.', she thought. In all of her years, she never imagined Yugi doing something like this.

Another town, another hotel room

Another dream that ended way too soon

Left me lonely way before the dawn

Searching for the strength to carry on

While Yugi sang, more people out there in the ENTIRE nation of Japan saw him on TV. Hundreds gathered around the television, wanting to see the boy who sang with such passion and feeling.

Mai Valentine, Serenity Wheeler, Rebecca Hawkins, Ishizu Ishtar were among the crowds who saw him. All four ladies never knew that Yugi could sing as he was now.

"Wow! That little kid has more in him then I thought.", Mai said to herself as she watched from a dining area.

Serenity was watching it in her new home with her mother. Her sensitive ears thought the song and Yugi were just in perfect harmony with one another.

"It seems that young man is singing about someone. Only a person with a broken heart sings like that.", her mother told her daughter.

'But, who would have broken his heart?', Serenity thought.

The bluest eyes in Texas

Are haunting me tonight

Like the stars that fill

The midnight sky

Her memory fills my mind

(Where did I go wrong?)

Did I wait too long

Or can I make it right

The bluest eyes in Texas (the bluest eyes)

Are haunting me tonight

The entire nation was in wonder on seeing the King of Games singing like that. A person declared, "He should be a superstar!".

Girls all over Japan started to like this Yugi kid, even girls that had boyfriends imagined themselves with Yugi. "Why can't my boyfriend sing like that to me?!", one of them exclaimed hotly.

It was the same situation like that in the Shadow Realm. Girls of different forms were now daydreaming of being with Yugi.

For every heart you break

You pay the price

But I can't forget the tears

In her blue eyes

The whole nation was watching, and Yugi wasn't aware of it. His only concentration was on the song, any other thing was just non-existent. He didn't know the millions of women all of Japan, and in the Shadow Realm, swooning over his singing.

The bluest eyes in Texas

Are haunting me tonight

Like the stars that fill

The midnight sky

Her memory fills my mind

(Where did I go wrong?)

Did I wait too long

Or can I make it right

The bluest eyes in Texas (the bluest eyes)

Are haunting me tonight, tonight

As the song started to go into its finale, Yugi's soul was starting to feel lighter. He had unloaded his sorrows and sadness onto the song, and it actually made him feel a lot better.

The bluest eyes in Texas

Are haunting me tonight

The bluest eyes, the bluest eyes

Are haunting me

The bluest eyes tonight

The song ended, and the music started to fade. When it was over, the two workers quickly turned the camera off and scooted out and off the premises.

Yugi wiped the light drench of sweat off his forehead, put the microphone back on the stand, turned off the machines, and put the CD back in its proper place.

"I really hope no one saw me. I'd be very embarrassed if I found someone watching me.", he whispered to himself.

How many of you want to bet what he'll be like once he finds out EVERYONE saw him?

(Author's Notes: Well, I hope you enjoyed this little songfic here. Let me ask you all something, Yugi fangirls only. What if Yugi sang to you? What choice of song would you have preferred, and by what artists?

Yugi: DJ wanted to do Standing Outside The Fire by Garth Brooks, but he decided on this one. DJ has a whole number of country songs lined up for me!

Darien: Any of you out there like country?

R&R, no flames, enjoy, and leave long reviews!)
