Super mega quick happy Christmas update POWER!!!!!!
Holiday 2: The Beginning of Yugi's Epic Shopping Saga!!!
BRIIIIIIIIING!!!! The bell rang. Everyone got up and left. As they came out of the building, Mai threw one arm around Tea and the other arm around Serenity and began talking away, and walking away. "Okay girls, I'm gonna have a Christmas party at my place and it's gonna be on Christmas Day and I'm not sure what time it's gonna be but it's gonna be a long party and at the end we're gonna exchange presents and there'll be some games and lots of cool music and colored lights around and even a dinner and so I guess it's a dinner party and..." She trailed off.
"They abandoned us," said Duke.
"Girls..." said Joey.
"No..Mai..." corrected Tristan.
There was a pause.
"So...I guess we'll all go home now??" said Bakura, breaking the silence.
Everyone nodded or said, "Yeah," except for Yugi, who thought about it a moment and then said, "I'm gonna go after those girls!" Everyone walked away. To keep from lying, and to fool the others just in case they were looking, he went after the girls. But when the boys were gone, he turned and went in the direction of the nearby J-Mart.
On the way there, he thought, 'Hmmm...Just my luck...Out of all those kids, Yami and Tea were chosen to be Joseph and Mary!!!!! Imagine all the romantic moments!!!!!! This is terrible!!! And since I can't do anything about that choice, I'll have to impress Tea in another way...which is..buying her the perfect present!!! And J-Mart sells EVERYTHING!!! Yeah!! I'll "coincidentally" show up right after Yami gives her his present, and give her mine, and she'll completely forget about him and his stupid present(whatever that may be) and she'll kiss me right then and there!!! Heh heh...that'll also get Yami back for playing all those practical jokes on me in the past!!!-'
Don't ask.
'-This is gonna be so great!!' He marched proudly into the store, but then he stopped his little victory march and froze with one leg in the air (for a moment, of course!).
"Uhhhh..." He put the leg down. "Where do I start???!?" He looked around in front of him. He faced the big, big store. There were so many choices of what to buy! "Hmmm," he thought aloud.
"Well..Tea likes to dance. Maybe I'll by her a nice dance outfit!"
'A nice, tight dance outfit...' he suddenly thought but he pushed the thought away. "How about something different..." He began walking around the store.
"Hey!" He stopped. "Maybe she'll like a...photo frame!" He picked up a cute photo frame.
"Or maybe..a watch..." He also picked up a pretty, metal watch with little fake jewels inside it.
"No, wait! How 'bout a...set of Christmas cookie cutters?!" He picked that up, too.
"I need a shopping cart..." Yugi went back and got a shopping cart, even though he didn't have one before because he thought he could decide on just 1 gift. He was so caught up that he forgot about this original plan of buying one gift. Instead he began unawarely to fill up the shopping cart.
"A Santa hat!!
A set of permanent markers!!
A can opener!!
A Moshi(R) pillow!!
A harmonica!!
A pair of earrings!!
A pair of toe socks!!
A..." Okay, we get the point.
When the spiky-haired kid finally reached the checkout, the cart practically weighed a ton and Yugi did lose a few pounds. Since it wasn't too close to Thanksgiving or Christmas, and since it was another busy Monday afternoon, and it was so cold outside, J-Mart for once wasn't crowded. In fact, Yugi was just second in line. After the guy in front finished up, the bored cashier, a grouchy old lady who talked like a genuine thugJoey has the same accent, but this old lady made it sound really bad, unlike Joey. I don't hate Joey's accent at all!!! said, "Next." But that's when Yugi finally realized that he had only planned to get 1 gift and that there were exactly 47 gifts in his shopping cart. "Um, I-"
"You buyin' all dat stuff, kid?"
"Well, I couldn't decide. You see, I-"
"It's about a gal, huh?"
"Oh, yes! How did you-"
"I dealt with alot'ta you boys last yeah. You're da first one dis yeah. Aldough I've nevuh quite seen one wit' dis much stuff before!"
"Well, ma'am, I didn't even realize I was buying so much stuff until I got to the checkout line! I only have enough money for one gift. I guess I really-"
"Enough chattuh. You need ta' get rid'da sum'muh dat stuff. Startin' wit' da can openuh."
"What?!! But what if she needs to open a can?! She'll be helpless!! And-"
Honestly, folks, Yugi really isn't this dumb. He's just blinded by love today.
"Ferget it." She took the can opener and put it behind the desk.
"But-"
"And she doesn't need a 6-pack of tissue boxes, eider."
"Well, what if she catches a cold?! Then-"
"A keychain calculator?!?" She took that, too.
"But that's for calculating on the go!!! What if she-"
"A talkin' bookmark?!? I don't tink so."
At this point, the old woman, Yugi, and the impatient young woman behind him were, for some reason, the only ones in the store.
"Will you hurry it up, already?!! I really need to buy this stuff, and I'm in a hurry!!!"
"Do you mind, lady?! I'm kinda busy right now," replied the old person.
"Urrrrrgh!!!!" cried the poor young woman in disgust. The old lady cashier took out a few more items, then the other lady protested again. "This is taking too long!!!"
"You're tellin' me," said the senior, suddenly agreeing with the lady. "Tell ya what. You can just take that stuff for free."
"Oh. .. All right, then!!" said the young lady, brightening up. She quickly left the store. The alarm went off, but then the old woman pushed a button that shut it off.
The old grouchy thug woman continued to take things out of Yugi's shopping cart until there were only 8 things left in it. That's when she said, "Now, dis stuff is useful. Decide from dose things."
But then Yugi said, "Wellllll...now that you think about it, I don't wanna give her any of these things."
"DAAAAAAAAH!!!!!" cried the old lady. "Just get outta here, boy!!!" Yugi, scared, quickly walked out of the store.
"I need a new job," said the old woman.
Meanwhile, Yugi thought, 'Oh! I have no idea what to get for Tea!! I need help! My present just has to be better than Yami's!!! Hey. Wait a minute.' He stopped. 'I think I know exactly who can help me.' He smiled mischeviously. 'No-
WILL help me.'
"Oof!" Yugi had been so busy scheming that he bumped into somebody.
"Hey, idiot! Watch where you're going!!"
The boy looked up only to stare into the mean, angry face of...da-dada DUM!!! Yami Bakura!!! His homie , Yami Marik(Malik), was right beside him. "Yeah!" he said. "Can't you see we're evilly plotting here?!!"
Yami Bakura jabbed him in the stomach-hard-with his elbow. "Shut up, you moron!!! Unless you want the Pharaoh to know about this!! Yugi tells him everything!!" the Tomb Robber, also known as Ryou, whispered, a little too loudly. Yugi could hear him!!!! (No, Ryou was not a hypocrite. He was just so frustrated that he raised his voice. Anywho, that was his mistake.)
'Oh, not everything!' Yugi thought, smiling mischeviously again.
"OH!! Well, then," said Malik, thinking that Yugi didn't hear Ryou, " just tell the Pharaoh that we were ONLY talking about Seto Kaiba's holiday parade!!!"
Ryou punched Malik in the stomach. "MALIK, YOU DUMMY!!!!!!!"
"Well, it's true."
Ryou slapped Malik in the face. "Owwie!"
"O-kaaay..I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear all that!" said Yugi, even though he was just dying to tell said Pharaoh the news.
"Well," said Malik, "goodbye, Yugi, you idiot boy!"
"You're the idiot around here!!!" said Ryou to Malik.
"Boy, bye!! So, about those grenades..."
After the two psycho buddies had walked a little bit, Yugi turned around and whispered after them, "Oh, boy, Yami is SOOO gonna kill you two!!" Then he ran the rest of the way home.
When the spiky-haired kid got home, he said, "Yami!! Yami!!" at the same time Yami said, "Yugi!! Yugi!!" Looks like they both had urgent news! They ran to find each other and met up in the living room, which was near the front door. Yugi quickly inhaled and opened his mouth. The words were JUUUUST about to come out of his mouth (HE WAS SOOOOO CLOSE!!!!!!) when Yami whispered, "Yugi!! Code R!! CODE R!!!!" "Yami, what are you-"
"THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!!!"
"What the-"
"Just come with me!" Yami just grabbed Yugi's sleeve and pulled him behind a wall.
"Now what is all this ab-"
"SHHH!!! You're too loud!!"
"Well, sor-ry!" Yugi said sarcastically, rolling his eyes. Yami ignored this.
"Yugi, REBECCA'S HERE!!!!!"
"Yes, Yami, I know. They said they would probably arrive today. And they're staying at the Lavee (la-VAY) Hotel, downtown. Can I leave now??!"
"No, Yugi, you don't understand. I mean here IN THIS HOUSE!!!"
"Oh. ..Wait a minute!! What the-"
Just then, Rebecca Hawkins walked up to them, smiling cheerfully. She completely ignored Yami and took Yugi's hand with both hands. "Hi, Yugi!!!" She let go with one hand and as she dragged him up the steps she said, "Let's go do something fun in our room!!!" .
"OUR room??!" said Yugi.
"Ho boy," said Yami.
For some reason, the Grandpas weren't very smart at this time. "Ah, they seem to be getting along just fine," said Yugi's grandpa.
"Yes, I agree. This arrangement will work out quite nicely!" said Professor Hawkins.
Boy, was he wrong.
