"This is talking"
'These are thoughts'

Chapter One - April Fool!

Yami yawned and streched his arms out as he walked slowly down the stairs. Covering his mouth with one hand and holding onto the doorframe with the other, he swung himself around the corner and into the kitchen. It was around 09:45 on a warm spring morning. He had awoken to find Yugi was already gone, and decided to get up himself. He found his friend sitting at the table, seemingly off in a world of his own.

Yami mumbled a 'Good morning' and Yugi just wave lazily in responce. He sat down in an empty seat and grabbed the carten of milk from the table, taking a drink from it. Suddenly, his eyes grew wide as the milk was, insteed of liquid, lumpy from being sour! He stood up and ran over to the sink, spitting it out and coughing, taking a drink of water to wash out the taste. He looked back and saw Yugi nearly rolling on the floor laughing at him. A little hurt, he spoke up. "Did you do that? On purpose?"

Only able to nod, as he couldn't stop laughing, Yugi tried to calm himself down. "I can't believe you fell for it." He said, still laughing.

Yami frowned and put the glass of water down. Why did Yugi do that to him? Had he done something to annoy him? As he walked towards the living room, he glanced back and saw Yugi looking in his dirrection, but looking away suddenly. Confused, he open the door, only to had a bucket of water land on his head. He pulled it off and shook some of the water off, looking up to see Yugi laughing again. "That's two in a row Yami!"

"Has he grown some mental illness overnight?" Yami thought to himself as he stomped off upstairs. "I'll have to talk to Joey about this..."

"April Fool's Day?"

"Yup." Joey responded, smiling. "It's a day were people play tricks on eachother for a bit off fun. Even Yugi goes a bit evil. No need to worry Yam', he doesn't mean anything by it, it's just tradition."

"Oh, I see," Yami said thoughtfully, looking down at the floor. He felt something on his shoulder and looked up to see Joey.

Joey grinned mischeviously and clenched his hand in a fist. "Let's go have some fun!"

Yami and Joey walked into the game shop, laughing so much they nearly fell over. This had been the most fun day Yami had had in a long time. He had thought Yugi was good, but Joey was the master! He'd lost count of how many pranks they'd pulled. Joey had brought a box into the shop with him, full of items they had used during the day. Water ballons, bottles with slime in them, hair dye, glue and marbles.

"That was a blast!" Joey said as they walked upstairs. When he reached the top he walked down towards Yugi's room, were he and Yami were planning on using Joey's mobile phone to make prank phone calls until midnight.

Yugi walked out of his room and waved at them as he passed. He'd been out all day himself, and come out about an hour ago. He walked past them and headed towards the stairs.

Joey and Yami were so deep in conversation, that Joey didn't see the football on the floor, which had rolled out of Yugi's room to the hall. He stepped on it and stumbled back, falling flat on his back and the box went flying. Contents spread across the floor and the marbled rolled quickly across the floor.

While this was happening, Yugi was near the top of the stairs. Suddenly, he stepped on a whole group of marbled and started slipping back and forth, trying to find some floor but only stepping on more marbles. Before he knew it, there was no floor left, and he fell forward.

"Yugi!" Yami called out as he say his friend falling down the stairs.
