Lila: Can you believe it? I updated TWO stories in ONE weekend! This must
be a record for me.
TOO MANY ON AN ISLAND
CHAPTER 4
Joey knelt down against the rock and ran his fingers across the top of it's smooth surface.
"It's warm." He said. "Something must be near by."
Seto walked up next to Joey. "You dumb mutt. It's warm because the sun is shining on it."
"Oh. I knew that." Joey said.
"We're never going to find anything at this rate." Malik grunted as he stumbled over some brush to catch up with the others. He tripped up and crashed behind the others. Joey shushed him. "You're gonna scare dinner away." Joey snapped.
"The way you're panting, it's probably already took off." Seto teased.
"Shut up Kaiba! You'd be dead by know if it weren't for me." Joey said.
"How so?" Seto asked.
"I'm the only experienced woodsman here. You spend have your life in front of a computer screen. You probably couldn't even light a fire." Joey hissed.
"Oh please. I'm much better off in the woods than you. You'd get lost in your own back yard." Seto said.
"Guys. Maybe we should keep it down a bit." Malik said.
The boys ignored him.
"Dog."
"Nerd."
"Loser."
"Loner!"
"Guys!" Malik shouted. They turned to him. "You're scaring every living creature within a fifty foot radius away."
"Right. We need to focus on getting food." Joey said. The boys shared one last glare and then continued through the jungle.
They soon came across a rather large pig munching away at the grass.
"Pork chops." Malik drooled.
"Bacon." Joey grinned.
"Dinner." Seto added. His eyes got big at the sight of the walking meal. (Hey. I'd drool at a pig too if I hadn't eaten in a long time)
Malik was about to walk forward when the others grabbed his arm.
"We need a plan." Joey said.
"We need weapons." Seto said.
"Here." Malik said. He handed them some broken sticks off the ground. "They're kind of like spears."
"Okay. On the count of three we'll surround and attack okay?" Seto said.
"Do you mean on three or right after three?" Joey asked.
"Does it matter?" Seto said.
"Just humor the moron Seto." Malik said.
"Hey!" Joey said.
"Shhhh."
"That was mean." Joey pouted.
"ON three. One, Two THREE!" He cried.
They all dove out of the forest and advanced on the startled pig. The pig began to run away but the boys continued after him.
Joey grabbed it by the feet and it fell. "I got it!: Joey cried. He suddenly felt it moving with him. "I don't got it. HELP!"
The pig (Which was rather strong) began to drag Joey through the forest.
"Somebody hurry!" Joey screamed.
"We're coming!" They yelled at him.
The boys just couldn't seem to catch up and Joey's head suddenly came in contact with a rock stunning him and causing him to let go.
The boys caught up with him "You let it go." Seto scorned.
"Shadup Yugi!" Joey said.
"It's Seto." Kaiba said.
Joey shook his head. "Oh Yeah. Right. I'm alright,"
"Looks like that thick head of yours came in handy for something after all huh?" Malik said.
"Yeah, Uh. Hey!" Joey said. "I didn't see you clinging to the backside of a pig for dear life."
The boys continued.
They soon came to a small clearing.
"Wow!" Joey said. "Bananas!" The whole clearing was full of fruit and flowers. Bananas, papaya, coconuts, pineapples.The list went on and on.
"I don't think we're going to catch any meat tonight but at least we have fruit to eat." Malik said.
Seto nodded then noticed Joey. "Joey!" He yelled. "What the hell are you doing?"
Joey swung awkwardly from the one tree. "There's better fruit at the top." He said and continued to climb.
"He's gonna break his neck." Malik said.
"We can only hope." Seto smirked.
Joey continued to climb the tree with some grace. He eventually reached the top of the rather large tree and looked around. "Coooool." He said at his birds eye view of their tropical paradise. From where he sat he could see the whole island was lined with white beaches with the exception of two spots. One spot looked like rocky cliffs and the other was blocked by a mountain. Joey thought he saw smoke coming from the beach and assumed that the others had made a fire. He then noticed a second patch of smoke coming from the middle of the island. He reminded himself to check it out later. Right now he was going to collect fruit.
He began to pick away at the fruit carefully and selectively when he spotted one piece of fruit that looked absolutely gorgeous. He reached out and grabbed for the fruit but two hands snatched it before he could grab it.
Meanwhile on the ground....
"So now you're going to break your neck?" Malik said.
"Stop being such a pussy. I'll be back." Seto said as he climbed another tree.
"What good it that tree?" Malik asked. "There's no fruit on it."
"I'm not after the fruit." Seto said and continued to climb. He reached the top and found what he'd been looking for. There was a rather large pair of nests up in this tree. Each nest held four rather large eggs in it.
"We're gonna need more than just fruit to survive on this island." Seto said to himself. He carefully collected all the eggs into the remains of the backpack he'd had with him on the boat. He began to climb back down when he felt a rather large shadow cover him. "Uh oh." He said looking up.
"What's the big idea?" Joey demanded as he stared at the small thief that had taken his fruit. "I saw that first."
The little spider monkey stared at him for a moment holding tight to the piece of fruit.
"You give that back." Joey demanded.
The spider monkey had other plans. The monkey jumped onto a further branch and began to peal back the skin on the fruit. "I said give it back." Joey demanded. The monkey didn't listen.
Malik shouted from below, "Just forget it Joey!" as he'd been watching the scene develop from down below. "There's other fruit!"
"It's the principal Malik!" Joey shouted back and made another move for the monkey. The monkey was now eating the fruit. "You little!" Joey cried and dove at the monkey. The little fur ball was so shocked by this that he dropped the fruit. This pissed him off. The monkey jumped onto Joey's face. "Get it off! Get it off!" Joey shouted. Joey began to drop the fruit from his hands trying to grab the monkey off his face.
Malik did his best to catch all the fruit dropping a few.
Meanwhile in the other tree....
Seto screamed as the two rather large birds dove in on him for taking their eggs. "Get away!" He screamed swinging at the birds. "Malik!" He cried.
He could see Malik at the bottom of the tree staring up at him with fruit splattered on his face. "What happened to you?"
"Joey." Malik said simply.
"Here." Seto said. "Catch!" He dropped the eggs at Malik who caught them.
"Why do you two insist on hitting me with things?" Malik demanded.
Malik continued to run back and forth between the trees in the chaos catching things being dropped. Occasionally he was hit with an egg or anonymous fruit but he was doing rather well.
"Catch this!" Seto shouted throwing more eggs.
"Get off me you furry bastard!" Joey shouted.
"Get away you feathered freaks!" Seto cried.
"Catch these." Joey shouted as he threw more fruit.
"Owe! That was a pineapple Joey!" Malik cried.
"I can't see what I'm throwing!" Joey shouted as the money continued to latch onto his face.
"Do this!"
"Do that!"
"Go here!"
"Get that!"
"Why are you taking so long?"
"MALIK!" They both cried.
Malik couldn't take anymore. "I quit!" He cried. "This is too much!" He sat down on a rock in protest.
"Get off!" Joey screamed. He ripped the monkey from his face and through it away from him. Amazingly, the monkey hit one of the rather large birds square on the head instantly killing it and causing the other to run away.
Joey and Seto sat up in the tree for a moment. "Well that was a lucky coincidence." Joey said. (Hey! It's not my fault if things just happen to work out so well)
Joey and Seto climbed down out of the tree. "Not a bad catch." Seto said. "Eggs, bird and fruit."
"Yeah. Not a bad job. Too bad SOME people weren't more help." Joey said in Malik's direction.
Malik only looked at them long and hard wishing every Egyptian curse he'd ever learned on them.
