Chapter 1

Day 2 of vacation.

"I'm going to kill them." Seto grumbles as he walks out to the dock with Joey by his side. "I'm going to fucking put them in straight jackets and hang them upside down on the ceiling fans and let Mokuba and Nixx take turns hitting them with two-by-fours."

Joey just "hmms" and begins munching on his bag of chocolate-covered raisins.

Early in the morning of their second day on vacation, Malik brought up the subject of going on a boat ride in one of the huge boats that can be rented. Mariku and Bakura thought it was a brilliant idea and, after the two threatened everyone, the others agreed with them.

Now Seto is cursing himself for going along with the idea, but since there's no way he's letting Mokuba go on the trip with all the nutcases without him there to protect him…

Fortunately for Seto, Nixx won't be going with them since he came down with a cold. Mokuba's only going because Nixx insisted and because Serenity, Duke, and Tristan, have stayed behind and can keep the pink-lover preoccupied. Unfortunately for Seto, someone else has joined their little "group".

"What are you doing! You are not going to light that on fire, do you hear me!" A feminine voice screeches. The voice belongs to none other than Mai Valentine, a boisterous, blonde duelist most of them first met back when Pegasus hosted the Duelist Kingdom tournament. Somehow she joined in on their vacation fun and Seto has a feeling that it has something to do with Yami and Yugi and their extremely annoying kindness.

"Damn them." Seto mutters as the boat comes into view. "Damn them all to hell."

"You curse too much, Seto." Joey says. "You should lighten up a little. It'd be good for you."

Seto glares at the blond and quickens his pace to get on the boat as soon as possible. As soon as everyone's on they'll be leaving for their little ride and the sooner they leave the sooner the whole thing will be over with. At least, that's Seto's reasoning. It was suppose to be the same way with the road trip and look what happened with that.

"Seto, hurry! We want to leave soon!" Mokuba yells from his spot on the back of the boat. "The others are getting impatient!"

Seto mutters something about them always being impatient and continues walking at the same fast pace, not really caring that the others are waiting. Joey follows along right beside him, not having any trouble keeping up with the brunet's fast pace.

Soon enough all 10 of them are on the boat, which has been "affectionately" nicknamed the S.S. Minnow by Bakura and Mariku. That should be the second hint telling them that things will go wrong. The first hint is all one them being on a boat together, with no map and a general lack of direction.

And then Mariku decides that he wants to drive, and Malik, figuring that no harm can come of it since by then they're out in the open and there are no other boats around, lets him drive. That proves to be the worst mistake Malik has made in all of the trips. Yes, even worse than introducing Mariku to the Mile-High club or taking directions from his yami while he was driving, which were both stupid things to do.

As a result of Malik being stupid and letting his psychopathic yami drive the boat, said boat has crashed into shoals near an island and is damaged beyond repair. To make matters worse, Bakura and Mariku are singing the theme song to Gilligan's island as the boat sinks more and more into the water. Everyone else is on the island watching the two idiots with the few supplies they managed to rescue, which is basically just a can of hairspray, some matches, a radio that can't pick up a signal, a penny, the keys to the boat, and two of Mariku and Malik's daggers that Ryou swiped from Bakura, who had swiped them from Mariku earlier that day.

"Are they always like this?" Mai asks, wringing out her hair. She was one of the first ones off the boat when Mariku wrecked it and had swam through the water to get away from the others, who weren't really all that shocked that Mariku wrecked the boat.

"Unfortunately." Ryou replies with a soft sigh.

"Sometimes they're worse." Malik adds. "You wouldn't believe some of the stuff they got into in just the day we've been on the island."

Mai watches the two dances around and be idiotic in general and then rolls her eyes and starts to walk off. "I don't want to know." She informs Ryou and Malik. "So don't tell me."

Off on another part of the beach is Seto, Joey, and Mokuba, who are trying to stay away from the crazy people. Well, at least Seto is. Mokuba and Joey find the whole situation hilarious.

"You know," Joey says. "Somehow I get the feeling that going on a boat was a horrible idea."

Seto glares at the blond. "Oh, really? What made you think that? I mean, other than the fact that we're stranded on a fucking deserted island!!!"

There is silence for a moment. Neither Mokuba nor Joey dare speak in fear of invoking Seto's wrath. Okay, not really. They're both trying not to laugh and that's why they're not talking.

"I hate you." Seto directs the comment to Joey, who doesn't look at all hurt by it. He's grown used to the insults.

Mokuba grins. Without Nixx there to tease Seto about things, it's up to him. "Aww, he loves you, Joey! Isn't that sweet?" He teases with a devilish grin on his face.

Seto glares at his little brother and Joey chokes. It's going to be a looong vacation.

Back at the main island, Duke, Tristan, and Serenity are preparing for a little fun in the sun out on the sandy beach. Duke and Tristan are all ready and are teasing Nixx about being bedridden. Nixx vows to get revenge and stays silent and gives them a look that promises a long, painful, violent death.

"Duke? Tristan?" Serenity steps into the room in her pink bikini and matching wrap skirt. "Are you ready to go?" She asks sweetly.

The two males immediately jump to their feet and fight with one another to Serenity's side. They salute Nixx and then leave with the young brunette.

"I'm going to kill them." Nixx seethes. "And I'll get Mariku and Bakura to help me." He smirks. "You better watch your backs!" And then he sneezes and pulls the blankets up tighter around him. "Those jerks could have at least gotten me more tissues." He mutters, glancing at the box of tissues halfway across the room. "That might have spared them from being tortured. Maybe."

End Chapter

Shiro: Look! Look! It's the first chapter of Rocking on the Waters! It's a miracle! (falls over)

Damian: (pokes Shiro) Shii-chan, it hasn't been that long.

Kaze: Don't poke her. She might get up.

Shiro: (gets up) Shuddup, Kaze.

Kaze: (rolls her eyes and leaves)

Shiro: Anyway... updates may come quickly if I can stick to my plan of finishing this thing up in 2 weeks. Yes, you read correctly; 2 weeks. That's my goal anyway. I figure I'd better practice so I'll be ready for November. What's in November, you ask? NaNoWriMo is in November, and I'm currently planning on participating. It would be so great! Writing a 50,000 word novel in one month! Woo!

Bast: Hikari, considering it took you 6 months to finish 'Dragon of the Shadowed Light', which is a little over 54,000 words, I'm not sure if--

Shiro: (punches fist into the air) I can so do it! Watch out world! Here comes Kishiro the Novelist!

Bast: The world is doomed.

Damian: No, the world would be doomed if it was you writing, Bast. But this is Shiro writing so what's the worst that could happen?

Bast: (glares) Do you remember what happened the last time you said that?

Damian: Er...

Bast: The last time you said that was right before she started her plans for the whole "Yugioh! Road Trips of Terror" kick! That comment of yours is what spawned 'Like a Pack of... What?', 'Terror in the Sky', 'Rocking on the Waters', and the others that have yet to come!

Damian: Oops?

Bast: Big 'oops'!

Shiro: Yay! Writing! (dances around)
