Jenny: Welcome all! I have decided to write a new fic!
Cloe: The dedication of this fic goes to LadyBloodShedRed!
Jenny: Yes! She gave me the idea for this fic a while ago, and now I am ready to start writing it!
Cloe: Just a warning. The pairing for this fic has NEVER been found on fanfiction, unless they for some reason removed it before I could find it.
Jenny: Anyways, the pairing will probably be pretty evident soon, so…here's the disclaimer!
Disclaimer: I do not own Starbucks, no matter how hard I may wish on that star. I do not own Gladware, nor would I want to. I do not own YGO. It is Kazuki Takahashi's. But someday when I change my name to Takahashi, I shall claim that I am his rightful heir and then I, Jenny, shall OWN YGO! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Ahem. Too much sugar on the cheerios this morning…
Jenny: Okay…I'll try not to let the fourth wall break…and this will NOT be AU…well, okay, it might be in certain places, but…shakes head I'll try to keep it steady. Here goes!
Egyptian Myths
By CFB
Chapter 1
Yugi and the gang left Starbucks with their hands full of, well, coffee and frapachinos.
Tristan glared at Joey. Joey took no notice and kept sipping his coffee contentedly.
Tristan looked away from Joey as he took a mouthful of frapachinos. To put it in layman's terms, Tristan was pissed off at Joey.
Joey, having somehow receiving the short end of the stick when it came to brains, didn't notice. In his mind, he found nothing wrong…until Tristan flicked whipped cream at him.
"My bad." Tristan said, grabbing a napkin.
Joey grinned.
"Don' worry 'bout, man. I got it." He said, getting his own napkin and starting to wipe it off.
Tristan took his napkin and dipped it in more whipped cream, then smudged it all over Joey' shirt.
"No. I insist."
Joey gaped at him.
"The hell? What'd you do dat for?!" Joey yelled, trying to wipe off the cream.
Tristan smirked.
"You know why."
Joey stared at him for a moment, thinking of what could have bedeviled Tristan to do such a thing. It finally clicked, and Joey's lips formed an 'O' shape.
"You're mad at me 'cause of dat? It was just a prank! No harm was done!"
Yugi and Tea' turned.
"C'mon, guys. We're going to be late." Yugi chirped.
Joey and Tristan waved him away.
"Go ahead without us." Tristan said, glaring at Joey.
"But, you don't want to miss the exhibit, do you? Ishizu gave us free tickets!" Tea' said, holding up four tickets for the Domino Museum.
"Yeah, I know. C'mon, Tris. We can settle dis later." Joey growled, cleaning off his shirt and throwing the napkin away.
Joey stormed away from Tristan and walked across the street to the museum with Tea' and Yugi.
Tristan followed, dragging his feet on the pavement.
"Hullo, guys! Did you come to see the exhibit, too?" A boy asked with a British accent.
Yugi smiled at Ryou.
"Yup! Ishizu gave us free tickets!"
Ryou's face darkened for a second.
"I think Bakura stole mine…" He muttered to Yugi.
Yugi's eyes widened.
"Really?"
Ryou laughed heartily.
"No, I was just winding you up! You should've seen the look on your face!" Ryou laughed.
Yugi breathed a sigh of relief while Tea' glowered at Ryou.
"That wasn't very nice, Ryou."
Ryou's smile drooped.
"I was just joking…" He murmured.
"Yeah, Tea', can't you take a joke?" Joey asked teasingly.
Tea' made a noise of distaste and walked off towards the door to the museum.
Ryou and Yugi looked at each other before muttering, "Women…"
Joey laughed and put his arms around his two friends.
"Let's go 'den!" Joey cheered while dragging Ryou and Yugi with him to the entrance.
Tristan lagged behind.
"Hmm…" He mumbled, trying to think of some way to get back at Joey.
"LOOK OUT!"
Tristan jumped and backed up right as a certain blonde Egyptian ran through the crowd with about twenty girls chasing him.
Malik ran into the museum and through a door marked 'Employees Only'.
"Man…I thought that psycho went back to Egypt already…" Joey said while handing his ticket to the employee at the door.
"Have a good day." The employee said as Joey followed Yugi and Ryou into the building.
Tristan dug around in his pocket for his ticket.
He cursed quietly to himself when he realized that he'd left his ticket with Tea'.
At that point, the horde of girls that were chasing Malik walked by him. A light bulb went on over his head.
"Hey, if one you can give me your ticket, I'll get Malik's number for you."
The troop of girls stopped and stared at him.
"Would you really do that for us?" One of them asked.
"Just one of you. So, who wants to get Malik's number?"
They all screamed with delight.
"Choose me! Choose me!"
Tristan backed up with his eyes wide.
'Jeez! Now that's what you call rabid fan girls!' He thought to himself.
Malik slumped down into a chair in Ishizu's office.
"Did you go outside again?!" Ishizu asked incredulously.
Malik nodded and grinned.
"Sorry. I was hungry."
Ishizu rolled her eyes and handed him a cup of ice water. Malik took it gratefully and sipped it slowly.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Malik choked on his water and started coughing insanely.
Ishizu stared at him for a second before opening the door.
Yugi and company looked at her happily.
"We came!" Yugi chirped.
"I see. Come in." Ishizu said calmly while Malik coughed and hacked and ran for the restroom.
Joey quirked an eyebrow at him.
"What's da matter wit him?"
Ishizu rolled her eyes again and waved it aside.
"He choked. Don't worry about him. Come on in and have a seat."
Ishizu opened up the door all the way and the troop walked in.
Before Ishizu could close the door, Tristan ran in.
"Sorry. I got held back in line. Did I miss anything?" He asked, gasping for breath in between words.
"No. Take a seat, please."
Tristan sat in the chair farthest away from Joey.
"What'd you wanna show us, Ishizu?" Yugi implored innocently.
"Well, Yugi, there is, as you know, a film today on Ancient Egypt. I thought it might enlighten your darker side immensely. The film covers everything that he may need to know—"
A strange noise came from the bathroom. They all turned in their seats to see what the problem was. Silence reigned for a minute before Malik came striding out of the restroom.
"Hey, Ishtar!" Tristan called.
Malik glanced at him.
"Yeah, Taylor?" He asked sarcastically.
Tristan ignored it.
"Can I have your number?"
Malik backed up a step and looked at Tristan oddly.
"Why…?" He asked fearfully.
"Uhh…my sister wanted it."
Malik smirked and regained his composure.
"In that case…"
He pulled out a piece of paper and wrote down his phone number.
Meanwhile, the others looked at Tristan questioningly.
He mouthed to them, "I'll tell you later."
Malik threw the paper at him.
"There. Have fun."
Ishizu pushed Malik out of the room while muttering something under her breath.
"I do not!" Malik yelled as she pushed him into the small lunch room and locked him in.
Yugi's eyebrows shot up as Ishizu trumped back to the group looking somewhat harassed.
"Vicious, ain'tcha?" Joey asked jokingly.
"Don't. Start. With. Me." Ishizu said through clenched teeth.
"Okay…" Joey murmured, acting as if there was a zipper on his lips and he was zipping it shut.
"As I was saying—"
Malik started banging on the door.
"All there is in here is meat, Ishizu! I'm claustrophobic! The walls are closing in on me! Lemme out!" Malik pleaded.
"You are not claustrophobic! There's a salad for you in the refrigerator!" Ishizu yelled back.
Ryou sniggered, but stopped as he received a nasty look from Tea'.
"What if YOU were locked in there?!" Tea' exploded.
The guys looked at her in shock. Even Malik stopped banging on the door.
"I can't stand hanging out with you guys anymore! You're insensitive, little, immature—" She started.
At this point in the story, rabid Yugi, Joey, and Tristan fan girls run into the room and kill Tea'.
Just kidding!
Tea's cell phone rang loudly, playing the theme song for Dora the Explorer.
"Excuse me." She huffed, storming out of the room.
"What the hell was that?" Tristan voiced, speaking for everyone in the room…and lunch room, of course.
"Well, Tris, I think that was the Dora the Explorer theme song." Yugi answered.
"May I continue, please?!" Ishizu snapped.
"Please do." Ryou said politely.
"Thank you. Anyways, I believe the film would be enjoyed by your darker side, Yugi."
"Wait, wait, wait. Yugi's the darker side?" Joey asked, eyeing Yugi.
Ishizu took a deep breath.
"No, I was saying to Yugi that his darker side may enjoy the film."
"Oh! Okay, I get it now."
Ishizu closed her eyes and counted to ten.
"The film we're showing tells about everything he needs to start regaining his memory."
"Is it educational?" Ryou questioned softly.
"Yes. Very." Ishizu responded shortly.
Ryou held his hands up defensively.
"Just asking…"
"I'm sorry. It's been a stressful week…Malik's been in town since Monday, and ever since he came…" She trailed off and sighed.
"I heard that!" Malik hollered from the lunch room.
"Just eat your salad!" Ishizu said irritably.
"Fine!"
They watched through the window as Malik gruffly pulled open the door to the fridge and all its contents spilled out on the floor.
"I'm okay!"
"Is the fridge?" Ishizu asked.
"Uh…hold on…I can fix it…"
Malik stuffed everything back into the fridge except the salad.
"Oi…well, the film starts in five minutes…I suppose we should get moving." Ishizu said, heading for the lunch room door.
"We'll see you there!" Yugi said cheerfully.
"Auditorium 13." Ishizu said.
"Got it!"
The group left the room.
Ishizu unlocked the door to the lunch room.
Malik smiled sheepishly at her (even though sheep don't smile). She hit the back of his head. Malik held up the lid to the salad bowl.
"Don't get mad, get Glad!" He said.
Yes, the lid to the bowl just happened to be Gladware©. Ishizu glowered at him and stalked out of the room.
Malik shrugged to himself.
"Must be that time of the month…" He muttered, taking a bite of his salad.
