A Cup Of Ice To Go

Disclaimer: Let's get this over with. I do NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh or its characters. I do not own the following stores/restaurants: Claire's, Younkers, Orange Julius, Cellular Advantage, Mr. Bulke, Cost Cutters, and McDonald's. And lastly, I do not own the song "Bananaphone".

Note to readers: Hi everyone! Namiko here! I'm American, and even though I like the Japanese character names better (i.e. Jonouchi, Honda, and Anzu), I'm going to be using the American names. The character who is known in the United States as "Yami Bakura" is going to be referred to as "Bakura". His hikari, or light, "normal" side, is going to be called Ryou. The evil Malik is going to still be Malik, however, in America his hikari is known as "Marik".

Chapter One

Nifty Nail Polish

"We're heeeeeerreeeee!" Tea squealed as she hopped out of the van. "Yay!" Yugi, Joey, and Tristan chorused. They scrambled out of the blue car seats after Tea. Ryou followed, and Marik came after him.

"Get out, couch potatoes," Yami said to Malik and Bakura from the driver's seat.

"Do we really have to?" Bakura whined.

"Yes. Yes, you do."

"That sucks," Malik complained as the two of them climbed out of the van.

"I hate the mall," Bakura grumbled. Yami locked the doors after he got out, and then the nine of them went into the mall.

"I WANNA GO TO CLAIRE'S!" Tea exclaimed, pointing to her destination.

"But that's a girl store!" Tristan cried.

"There's a whole bunch of lip gloss in there that smells like candy," Tea said.

"OH MY GAWD! AWESOME!" Joey and Tristan screamed. Of course they had ignored every word except "candy", so, to everyone else's dismay, they entered the store.

"Oh my gawd!" Tea shrieked. "That pink would go great with the school uniform!" She grabbed a little bottle of nail polish. Joey and Tristan wandered around the store searching for candy.

Bakura yawned. "I'm bored."

"We haven't been here two minutes," Yami informed him. Bakura ignored what Yami said and turned to Malik. "There's gotta be something to do here." Malik looked around. "Erm…we could go bug, er…what's-her-face…" he mumbled, looking at Tea.

"Brilliant." Bakura looked to see if Ryou was doing anything; he and Marik were trying to get Joey and Tristan to realize that there was no candy in the store.

Bakura and Malik walked over to Tea. "Er, that is very…pink, Tara," Malik said.

"My name is Tea. Why can't you remember that?"

"Whatever," Malik grumbled as Bakura easily took the bottle of nail polish from Tea's loose fingers.

"Hey! What was that for?"

"Here, Malik! Catch!" Bakura shouted and threw the bottle over Tea's head.

"Give it back!" Tea said to Malik as he caught it.

"No," Malik chuckled, throwing the bottle back to Bakura.

"Fine," Tea said, "I'll just get another-" she looked at the rack to see that there were no more bottles of that color.

"GIVE ME BACK MY NAIL POLISH!"

"Well, technically, Tracy, it's not yours because you ain't bought it yet. And it's such a nifty color – me 'n' Bakura are jist gonna keep it fer ourselves."

"Erm, Malik?" Bakura whispered.

"What?" Malik hissed.

"Why are you talking like that?"

Malik sweatdropped. He threw the bottle back to Bakura –

CRASH!

The bottle broke in Bakura's hands. Pink polish spewed everywhere – on his hands, on his clothes, and in his hair.

"MALIK!" Bakura screamed. He rubbed his hands off in Malik's hair.

"You –"

Tea was shocked.

"Excuse me, but what seems to be the problem?" a tall, blonde store clerk asked.

"They broke the last bottle of Princess Pink nail polish!" Tea screamed.

"The bottle costs eight dollars," the clerk said, "And I need the money from the two of you."

"EIGHT DOLLARS?" Bakura shrieked. "I only have two!" He pulled two crumpled bills out of his pocket.

Tea sweatdropped. "You brought TWO DOLLARS to the mall?"

Malik grinned. "I brought fifty cents!"

"Oh gawd."

"RYOU!"

"MARIK!"

The two hikaris rushed over. Ryou giggled.

"What happened to you?"

"SHUT UP, FOOL!" Bakura yelled. "We broke a bottle of nail polish and we only have two dollars and fifty cents!"

"Here, I'll give you a dollar fifty," Marik said.

"And I'll give you the last dollar," Ryou told them. The two gave the pink criminals their money.

"Here," they chorused, handling the clerk their cash. "Can we go now?" The clerk nodded.

"Come on, everybody!" All nine of them left the store.

As they walked through the mall, lots of people pointed and laughed at Bakura and Malik.

"Are you still mad, Tilly?"

Tea glared at Malik.

"Er…Yami?"

"Yes…what is it, Yugi?"

"I HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM!"
