Shizzy: OK, sorry it's taken me so long to get this next part up. I don't have a lot of time during the week between school, homework, and all the other crap that goes on to get on the computer and write. So, just as a fair warning, it might take me a while to get all the chappies up for that reason. Expect them on the weekends most of the time. (cuz ya know, you're just DYING to read this! You're just SOOOO addicted! Pshaw. I know I know you aren't, but I just thought I'd tack this up here to let ya know ^_^) OK, seeing as I don't have anything mor to say, let's get o-

Tèa: * cough * AHEM! * cough *

Shizzy: * turn her head slowly, slowly, until she faces her * Yessssss?

Tèa: I belive you DID have something else to say.

Shizzy: * looks clueless *

Tèa: * rolls eyes * You know, about what YamiAnzu said? She was quite displeased, as was I, and so we both demand a formal apology.

Shizzy: * thinks a second. Remembers what she's referring to. Rolls eyes * Oooooh yes. How could I forget. OK, if you will recall the beginning of the previous chappie, I mentioned that all of our characters were in a charoom. Well, when I listed those included characters, I unintentionally forgot to list Tèa. My very good friend YamiAnzu, being the Anzu fan that she is, noticed this and informed me of it. I am hereby formally apologizing to them both for forgetting Tèa. ^_^ * turns to Tèa * Happy?

Tèa: * about to open her mouth to say that No, she would much prefer a more in-depth apology about how Shizzy is sorry from the very cavernous depths of her soul, but Shizzy stops this abruptly *

Shizzy: * puts a hand over Tèa's mouth * Why of COURSE you're happy! * puts on a fake smile * As I was saying, before I was interrupted * glances at Tèa * let's get on with the story! Oh, and just one more quick thing! Sorry if this isn't roll-on-the-floor-in-pain funny, it's still getting started. So, hopefully the humor will pick up very soon. And, just in case you might be wondering, I will not be introduced into the story until after the crew reaches the island. OK? NOW, on with the story!

*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*

When we last left our friends, they had just gotten Pegasus' mysterious invitations to a grand dueling tournament on a mysterious island. They eventually decided to go. Why? Why, after all the treachery Pegasus has put them through, why would the decide to go? Well, for one, the prize is quite nice-3 Blue Eyes and all 5 pieces of Exodia. Secondly, they have to or else the whole story goes down the tubes. -_- So, they have sent in for their tickets and are making preparations to go. We find Malik, Y/M, and Isis at home the day following that fateful online chat. Isis: * sees the mailman delivering their mail * Hey bro! The mail's here! Maybe the tickets have come.

Malik: * looks at her blanly * So? Then go get them. * goes back to deciding what to wear that day * Hey Y/M, should I wear the purple robes or the baby blue ones?

Isis: *_* uhhhh.why don't one of you get the mail? I was just going to start break- * stops at the evil looks they throw at her * O_O ok then I'll get it..

As she exits the front door, she pauses, hearing the two arguing.

Y/M: Oh, I was going to wear purple. It looks better on me, anyways. You can wear baby blue.

Malik: * seething * It does NOT look better on you! You just look like Barney! YOU should wear the baby blue!

Isis starts to hear Y/M's heated reply, but hurriedly closes the door, not wanting to hear the nasty catfight in the making.

Isis: * to herself * I seriously worry about those two. They're worse than girls O_o

She retrieves the mail, and hasn't even taken one step towards the house when she hears..

Malik: Whatever.BARNEY! * starts teasing in a sing-song sort of voice like a little girl * Yoooouuuu look like Baaaaarney! Yooooouuuu look like Baaaaaarney! Yoooooou-

A loud SMACK can be heard, followed by a loud "UH!" from Malik. Then..

Y/M: * in an annoying kno-it-all little girl voice * I do NOT look like Barney!

Malik: * in the same type of voice * DO TOO

Y/M: NUH-UH

Malik: YEA-HUH

Y/M: NUH-UH

Malik: YEA-HUH

Y/M: NUH-UH

Malik: YEA-HUH

Y/M: DO NOT Malik: DO TOO!

Isis: * whispers * Ra, give me strength.and get me away from this place!

Isis, rather than set foot in the danger zone that is now her house, runs down the street as fast as she can away from her brother and his Yami, and to the Wheeler household instead.

Isis: * mutters * I doubt they'll notice my absence, anyways.

She rings the doorbell, and Joey answers.

Joey: * surprised to see Isis * Oh, heya. What's up?

Isis: My brother and his Yami are making me CRAZY!

Joey: O_o Haven't they always?

Isis: Well.yes. But I desperately need to escape them! You want to know what they're doing right now?

Joey: * looking frightened * I donno, do I?

Isis: They're arguing over who should wear purple and who should wear baby blue, and wether or not Y/M looks like Barney in purple!

Joey: *_* um, come right in!

Isis steps inside gratefully, and immediately smells something.

Isis: * sniff sniff * Ummmm Joey? What is that I smell?

Joey: * hurriedly * UMM nothing! Nothing at all! * tries to change the subject * So, have you gotten your tickets yet? My sis and I just got ours this morning!

Despite Joey's attempts to keep Isis away from the kitchen, she pushes past him and gasps at what she sees next.

Isis: JOEY! WHAT ON EARTH HAVE YOU DONE!

Joey: *____* I SWEAR IT WASN'T MY FAULT!

The whole kitchen is a mess. There's flour all over and eggs and sugar and butter and a VERY much so burnt cake sitting in the middle of the kitchen table amidst this.

Isis: * turns slowly to face Joey, a wide-eyed look of horror upon her face. Yet she speaks calmly, not wanting to terrify an already frightened Joey * I'll ask again.what have you done?

Joey: * points shakily towards the very much so burnt cake, and says in a small voice * I made a cake.

Isis: -___- I see that. But, making a cake doesn't require you to completely mess up you kitchen!

Joey: I-I I've never made a cake before! Serenity usually does all the cooking! But she wasn't up yet and I was hungry and wanted something for breakfast.

Isis: -________- JOEY! Cake isn't breakfast food! You could have made something easy like waffles in the toaster or, or Poptarts or cereal or ANYTHING! Why a cake???

Joey: * looks down like a little boy being scolded by his mother * Because I wanted some cake. And I thought it would be fun to make it!

Isis: -____________-

Joey: AND, AND I DON'T NOW HOW TO USE THE TOASTER OK???

Isis: *_________* WHY!??? FOR RA'S SAKE WHYYYYY?

Joey: -______________- Serenity doesn't trust me around appliances. She's forbidden me to use the toaster, the microwave, the oven, to stove..and a bunch of other things.

Isis: * closes her eyes, shakes her head, and mutters * I think I see why..

Joey: _ WHAT?

Isis: NOTHING! ^_^

Joey: _ I heard that!

Isis: Never mind that now. Lets just get this cleaned up before Serenity wakes up or I think she'll blow up or something.

Joey: Yea. THEN how will I ever eat?

Isis: -_______-

The two get to work and manage to make the kitchen sparkling clean again before Serenity would ever know what had happened. When they finish.

Joey: Now, time for some cake..

Joey tried to cut out a piece, but its too tough and it won't cut. He gets mad and so he jabs a fork into it, and when he pulls it out, the whole entire cake comes out with it!

Joey: * looks at the cake on the end of his fork * O_O DUUUUUUUUDE!!!!

Isis: *_* GAWD Joey what did you DO to that thing? That's SOME cake you made! * sarcastically * What's your secret?

Joey: I BURNT IT HELLA GOOD! It could come in handy!

Isis: -_- * sigh * Would I just have been better off staying home?

Just then, that question is answered. She hears a loud noise and a bunch of shouting and she and Joey run outside to see what on EARTH all the commotion is about.

Joey and Isis: ;;;;;;*_____________*;;;;;

They can see up the street to Isis' house and can plainly see that the catfight between the Maliks has definitely intensified. It has also carried out into the front yard. Malik and Y/M are outside in the front yard fighting over the purple robes they both want to wear. They seem to be having a sort of tug-o-war over them. Also, Y/M has somehow gotten hold of the Rod and keeps hitting Malik over the head with it every time Malik yells "GIVE IT UP, BARNEY!"

Isis: UMMMM I'm going back inside!

Joey: * hesitates * Shouldn't we try to stop them?

Isis: NO! In a fight between Malik and Y/M YOU DON'T WANNA GET INVOLVED! * pulls Joey inside the house *



The rest of that day is relatively un-eventful. They all receive their tickets and pack. The next day, however, is when they are all to leave on the boat at the local harbor to get to the island. Pegasus seems to want them there a few days before the tournament actually is to take place. The crew think this quite strange, but just shrug it off and pack. They all talk to each other online and arrange for some picking-up. Yami and Yugi's grampa can't drive them, so Isis volunteers to do so. But.she doesn't tell Malik or Y/M for fear that they will murder her in cold blood. It's best to leave it a surprise so that when the time comes they're too shocked to do much of anything. Tristan is to pick up the rest of them: Bakura, Y/B, Tea, Joey, Serenity, Mai, and Seto. But, Ill save that all for the next chappie! Why? Well..because my brothers kicking me off the computer that's why! Teehee! R&R! ^_-
