A few hours later, then everyone put on their seatbelts and the plane landed. It bumped along the flat sand until it finally came to a stop. The speaker crackled again.
"Ok, folks, we have now settled right next to the Great Desert of Egypt. If you look at the ground, you'll see that there is no asphalt or concrete. That is because all the villagers that live here have tried their hardest to keep this place looking like it did originally, thousands of years ago. They have done a very good job, and you may be surprised how primitive the streets and buildings look. Now, please gather your belongings and step off the plane. The exit door is in the back to the left. Once outside, please stay together and try to keep a firm hold on your children. This village is very large and it will be easy to get lost. When wandering about the village, please respect the villagers' property and do not cross their boundaries. First, we shall go see the tombs. Stay close to your guides, and have fun. Thank you very much." The speaker turned off, and everyone started to leave the plane. There were not a large amount of people, but the plane was at least half way full. It took about five minutes for everyone to get off. The crowd chattered excitedly, and it was a bit noisy. Yugi took hold on Marik and Atem, trying not to lose sight of them. Atem smiled and looked at Marik.
"You heard the pilot. Don't let go of your child, Marik." Marik grumbled and looked a little uncomfortable. Yugi looked up.
"Huh? What's the matter? Are you okay?" The blond haired teen looked at the pyramids.
"I just don't feel that well right now. Something's getting to me…" Atem nodded.
"I feel awful too. It hurts a lot to see my home in ruins. It's like there's a part of me that's been ripped out…" Yugi jerked their arms.
"Hey, you guys, we're here to have fun. Lighten up." Atem gave a small smile as he looked at Yugi.
"You know what? I feel better already. You have that effect on people, Yugi." He bent down and kissed his light on the forehead. Yugi blushed a little but looked ahead.
"C'mon guys, we better hurry! Everyone else is already walking." Marik nodded and they ran to catch up. Once they were back with the other tourists, they took the change to look around. They were standing in one of the most beautiful and ancient places they had ever seen. Short, square buildings were everywhere, and they nearly matched the color of the orange tan that was seen in the sand. Clothes lines stood in front of some houses, and the street was filled with people dressed in simple wear; a short or long white or brown skirt, dark sandals, and, most common, a long plain tunic with a sash tied around their waists'. All of the people were tanned, like Marik and Atem, and some women wore necklaces made of wood or clay. There were also many markets, some selling fruits or vegetables, jewelry, clothes, shoes, meat, candy, pottery, house utensils, furniture, and much more. Yugi was stunned, and looked up at Atem, but was confused at his expression.
"What's wrong, Pharaoh? You look strange."
"Yugi, you are making me feel much better, but it is still extremely painful. I am amazed at how the place looks; it is nearly exactly the same as it was thousands of years ago." Yugi nodded, and felt sorry for the Pharaoh. Seeing his old home after so long must hurt. Yugi's face scrunched up. Why hadn't he thought of that before?
It must be awful knowing that all the friends you knew are gone…and that you can't stay here longer than the tour lasts…" Yugi thought, feeling bad. He hugged his buddy and Atem smiled. Having his friends here made him feel a little happier. They all looked forward and smiled.
"Ok," Marik said, " Let's get on with this tour!"
