The bell rings to dismiss of Domino High for the summer. Papers soared beyond Heaven's height while other boys and girls raced down the winding hallway with toilet paper zigzagging across lockers and rooms. Their theory was trashing the school on the last day; it's not such a bad idea, actually.
It was glory day for all students, especially the particular individuals everyone was most fond of: Bakura, whom was trying to heave himself through the swinging doors without being cooed by girls or flattened into a pancake with the stampede. Kaiba couldn't have cared less about what he made of his free three-month holiday in the sun; he had the money to blow. Miho was concerned about creating dinner plans and pool parties--the usual for a popular, squealing girl.
Then there came Téa, Tristan, and Yugi who were absolutely thrilled with grins plastered on their faces. Tomorrow would be Téa's big day because of her ballet recital. Tristan and Yugi focused on jumping into a shipment of dueling cards that arrived to Yugi's grandpa's Game Shoppe.
"I really don't get why people use toilet paper." Yugi began.
"What the? Yugi, that just makes me curious to ask where the heck you go to take a whiz…" Tristan formed a twisted expression to his face, mostly emphasizing his eyebrows.
"I didn't mean it that way," he blushes, "I guess I need to clarify it. I meant that why trash the school if you're coming back next year…and the year after that. Even better if you're staying back—"
Téa rolls her teal eyes and blinks gently, "Well, it's fine for the seniors. They blame the freshmen, because we'll be back next year and they won't. We'll be sophomores and still get the blame. What I'm saying is, don't bother defending yourself from upperclassmen. If we did the toilet-papering ourselves we'd still get the same punishment…" She paused and questioned to herself why she was making a point about toilet paper.
"Good point, Téa. We should toilet paper the halls next year. You never know when you need to wipe your ass." Joey voiced his opinion bluntly causing his friends' faces fault anime style.
"I need to find new girl friends." Téa added quietly while staring at her beaming boys that were still amazed about the wonders of toilet paper.

First day of summer break, and yet there was still something wrong. Something that had to be nitpicked from all of them. Joey said he had to stay home; reason unknown to their minds.
Joey had plunked his thin body onto a plain, junky mattress. He kicked his feet up with his knees bent while brushing the soles of his sock-covered feet against the cotton softness of his bed. Staring at the ceiling with a poster of Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop, he decided to make up a list of priorities.
1.) Get in contact with…
He sprung up and darted his eyes around his room wildly. Serenity, he thought. "Damn, I forgot all about her lately. Shit, how could I be so stupid?" Joey slicked his dark blonde hair out of his eyes abruptly with his lean hand.
With a hop off of his bed, he pulled the black phone cord underneath a pile of clothes and the feeling of calling his younger sister built up a small bubble of warmth surrounding him; protecting him from any other force or stress he didn't predominantly crave for, so to speak.
Joey had forgotten that his younger sister's required surgery needed to be soon. He examines the voicemail messages in the red, digital numbering. Six messages. Three messages were from either Tristan or Yugi. A familiar voice broke the other three messages.
"Voice Message: June 1st at 11:03 A.M.: 'Guess who Joey. I've phoned and phoned you from the past two weeks and only worked up three messages for you. This is the last one, big brother. I wanted to make plans with you; you know how much I miss you and Mom still hasn't saved up enough money for me to take the train down to Domino City to see you—that is, if I still have enough blur in my eyesight to make out your face.(a few sniffs and sobs)I'm so scared that if every time I call, Dad will pick up and start yelling at me. Please Joey, I miss you and I'm worried. Talk to you later. Love you.(small relieving sigh)'"
"Damn it." He knocked down his fist into his pillow. Eagerly the boy dials the digits to his sister's home. Joey taps his foot to the rhythm of the rings, each time getting more and more anxious. Finally Serenity answered the phone with a pleasant voice.
"Hi, Serrie, I-I'm so sorry, I don't use my phone much. My friends complain all the time…" He dwelled through his head, searching for more sympathetic words to appease his sister's paranoia.
"Well, who cares? I'm just really…mad between the gap we're in. I can't take it, please when can I see you?! --Remember the time when we were little? When you said that we were the best team since Scooby Doo and Shaggy?"
This caused him to blush a deep rouge coloring; Good thing the guys aren't here to hear that…he mused. "Yeah, Ser', I know we're not going through the best times here, but I have the mon—"
"And when Shaggy fell into the well, what did Scooby do? He SAVED HIM. Now why won't you save me?"

The trio that consists of Yugi, Tristan and Téa, for the time being, were relaxing in a booth sipping on milk shakes.
"So are you all coming to my dance recital tomorrow?" Téa inquired enthusiastically.
Yugi and Tristan exchanged glances and as if on cue starting bubbling up their shakes blowing through the straw simultaneously. Téa's face faulted.
