Chapter 1: Recorder Problems
"Mokuba, they are not coming with us." Seto tells his little brother. Once again they are packing up the van. This time it's not for a road trip but to go to the airport to get on a private plane that will take them to some island in the middle of nowhere.
Mokuba pouts. "But Seto, they're our friends. And we had so much fun on the road trip!"
Nixx tosses his pink suitcase into the back of the van, smirking when it crashes into Seto's head first. Ignoring the way the CEO is now cussing him out, Nixx scoots over to Mokuba and wraps his arms around him. "But Mokie, we should just go by ourselves. The others will just interrupt our alone time."
"Fine, they can come." Seto quickly changes his mind when he hears that. "But I am not getting stuck with Wheeler again!"
Nixx grumbles something about stupid older brothers while Mokuba yells out, "Yay!"
An hour later the van is once again crammed full of people and Seto looks about ready to hang himself for letting himself be tricked by Mokuba again. He's also starting to get very annoyed by Joey and the tape recorder.
Obviously, Seto is once again driving and Joey is sitting right beside him. In the middle row are Yugi, Yami, Duke, and Serenity. In the back row are Malik, Mariku, Ryou, and Bakura. And in the very back with the luggage are Nixx, Mokuba, and Tristan.
Everyone was very surprised when Tristan agreed to go on the trip with them, but when they found out about his stalker most of them sympathized. Seto didn't and Nixx didn't and Bakura and Mariku found it hilarious, but everyone else sympathized.
"Day One of our second trip begins." Joey speaks into the recorder. "Seto is driving and we're all piled back into the van. This time instead of a road trip, we are going on an airplane to some unknown place. Who knows how this will turn out."
"Wheeler, if you don't turn off the recorder I'll do it for you." Seto threatens.
Joey grins. "Seto threatens to turn off the recorder."
"Wheeler, I'm warning you."
"Now it's a warning."
"WHEELER! TURN OFF THE FUCKING RECORDER!"
The van swerves dangerously. Joey slams into the side of the car, as do half the people in the van, and drops the recorder onto the floor. Joey retrieves the recorder, turns it off, and checks for damages before he turns it back on. "So far Seto has lost his temper once and nearly crashed into a semi-truck. Unfortunately, since he didn't hit it we can't do any 'did you get the license of that truck' jokes."
Seto growls when he hears Joey speaking into the recorder. Strange how he gets angry at Joey for recording conversations and not angry at Nixx and Mokuba for their PDA. Speaking of which…
"Lexus, if you don't get your hands off of my brother I swear to God I will--"
"Wait, you mean you're not an atheist?" Duke interrupts.
Seto eyes Duke via the rearview mirror. "What the hell does that have to do with anything?"
Duke shrugs. "Dunno. Are you?"
"Am I what?" Seto asks. He's learned to just answer questions when it comes to this group, or else go insane from sheer amount of questioning. It's not like he has to be truthful about it. He can always make up BS.
"An atheist."
"No, I worship the devil." Seto says with a straight face.
The car goes deathly silent. Joey clicks off the recorder.
"What?" Yugi practically squeaks.
"Finally! Someone else who can understand me!" Bakura exclaims. That comment earns him a smack in the head from Ryou. "What?" He snaps at his hikari. "You're into all that occult stuff!"
"And whose fault do you think that is?" Ryou hisses.
Bakura falls silent. "Oh."
"Kaiba, you don't really worship the devil, do you?" Yami asks, trying to comfort a frightened Yugi. Beside the two Duke is doing the same for Serenity.
Seto snorts and rolls his eyes. "Oh please. I'm an atheist, you fools. Anything can be explained by science and technology, pure and simple." He glares at Yami using the rearview mirror, daring the ex-pharaoh to say anything against him.
"So I suppose there's no magic, either."
Yami never fails to disappoint Seto with his "brilliant" comebacks. But before Seto can make any scathing remark, something- or rather someone- distracts him.
"So we now know that Kaiba does not worship the devil and is an atheist. What do you know? Devlin was right for once!" Joey says into the recorder. "And now he's glaring at me. Se- Kaiba doesn't seem to like recorders very much."
Seto either doesn't notice the near slip-up or chooses to ignore it. "Wheeler, give me the recorder now."
Joey childishly clutches the recorder. "Hell no! Get your own recorder!"
"Just give him the stupid recorder!" Mariku grumpily snaps. "Just because you two can flirt and use the excuse of bickering doesn't mean the rest of us want to hear it."
The van falls silent. Everyone seems a little surprised and amused by Mariku's observation. As always, the silence doesn't last for too long.
"The van fell silent after Mariku accused me and Kaiba of flirting during our fights. Of all the outrageous--"
"Wheeler, if you do not turn off that recorder I will pull the van over and dump you on the side of the road!" Seto threatens.
Joey gulps and turns off the recorder. Then he slips it into his pocket. The recorder is off and gone. At least for the time being.

Shiro: Yes, I'm very aware of how short this is. I will try and make the other chapters longer, but I can only stretch out a fic in which the storyline takes place in a matter of hours for so long.
Bast: Did that sentence make any sense to you, hikari?
Shiro: (reads over sentence) Err...? Yes?
Bast: (sighs) Whatever you say.
Shiro: Right... (to readers) Anyway, this story covers the trip to the airport and then the airplane ride to wherever it is they're going. And because of that, there will be yet another sequel to this story after this one. Yay! So that's something to look forward to after this short fic is done.
