Crow sighed, tossing a card into the ever growing pile of cards before him. Across from him, lounging on the couch, was Jonouchi, idly watching each new card that Crow tossed on to the pile. He'd occasionally comment on one or ask to see it, but other than that, the breakroom at the studio was completely silent.
That probably had something to do with Kaiba and Jack leaving the room a few hours earlier to have a, and Crow really wished he was making this up, "KING OF FASHION DUEL" and there being nothing on TV, but Crow was too bored to think much about it. Yusei and Yugi (and the other Yugi) were all going to be filming a live commercial a few rooms down, and they had gotten to pick some people to come along for the ride.
"Damn it!" Crow finally yelled, getting up and tossing his deck on the ground, ignoring all of the cards spilling around before him.
"N-Nyeh!?" With that cry, Jonouchi fell from his seat and stared over at the redhead across from him, a scowl forming on his face. "Hey, don't DO that! You almost gave me a heart attack!"
"But this is such bullshit! We're the freaking best friend characters! We- We should have some role in this movie thing! Right!?" Crow yelled, making a fist with a hand and slamming it into his palm. "We shouldn't stand for this!"
"Hey, hey. You wanna spend the whole movie runnin' from zombies or something?" Jonouchi shook his head. "You weren't there man. Be glad for what you get, that kinda stuff."
"But that's because you weren't the main character! Can you imagine what that movie would have been like if you were the main character...!?"
"... Yeah. I woulda had to duel a giant naked dude after he beat up Kaiba. Pass."
Crow paused after that. He... couldn't really come up with a good comeback to that one. Hell, he would have said the same thing in Jonouchi's place.
"... Still! What if this movie has a naked girl in it or something?" Crow tried. He knew he was going out on a limb with that one, but maybe, just maybe, Jonouchi would--
"Nyeh? Naked girl? They actually make those in this series?"
-- take the bait. Crow grinned and strode over to the blond, putting his arm around around his shoulder and beginning to whisper the greatest attention seeking plan that he had ever come up with.
Ever.

"And we're on air in 3... 2... 1... Go!"
The stage was fairly simple. A backdrop of a sky, with Yusei and Yugi staring at each other from across a large platform. The two began their lines, and while neither of them were, well, great at it, at least Yugi had experience.
Of course, when the middle of the platform exploded and Crow and Jonouchi jumped out, in matching Yu-Gi-Oh! 10th Anniversary t-shirts, well, the acting pretty much stopped there.
"... Jou...?" Yugi stammered, fading out of his other self's persona in surprise at the sight of his and his fellow actor's friend.
"Crow, what are you two doing?" Yusei asked, always one for keeping his calm. Though that said, surprise was written all over his face.
"We're sick of being the 'best friend' but getting stuck in the sidelines!" Jonouchi declared, pointing at Yugi with the force of an angry prosecutor.
"We can't be satisfied with the roles you two keep giving us!" Crow yelled, pointing at Yusei with the determination of a losing defense attourney. "So no offense, Yusei..."
"And hope you don't take this personaly, Yugi..." Jonouchi continued.
"But the thing is..."
"Yusei..."
"Yugi..."
And then, in unison, the two best friend characters tossed off their shirts and spun around to the cameras, and pointed dramatically right at them.
"SATISFY US!!"
Needless to say, Crow and Jonouchi got the parts they wanted.
... Right in the battlefield of an epic duel against two naked dudes.

Tale as cold as steel
Untrue as it can be
Not even close to friends
Then over the robot bends
Unexpectedly
Their love it soon would change
Rising like someone's yeast
Both a little scared
The robot so much more
Cecil and the Bot
Never just the same
Ever a surprise
Never as before
Never just as sure
As the Starscreams will cry
Horror as old as time
Tune an old guitar
Super sweet and strange
Finding even robots can change
Learning Guy was wrong
Certain as the island
Stalking Australia in the east
Tale as new as DSi
Song as new as PSP Go
Cecil and the Bot
Tale as new as DSi
Song as new as PSP Go
Cecil and the Bot
