~CHAPTER THREE~
Joey woke up looking out the window. Clouds flew by swiftly; hitting the plane as it crossed the sky. A blue ocean swirled and waved down below, a shinning sapphire with creatures hidden underneath the mirror like surface. There was movement aside him and he turned his gaze towards his friend, Yugi. The plane was on its way to the airport, and soon Joey would be a step closer to his sister.
Yugi yawned, "How much further until the plane trip is over, Joey?" He asked.
"Not much longer, maybe an hour and a half."
A lady came by giving passengers their lunch. She strolled down with a cart full of drinks and snacks, and was handing them out, row by row. She gave Yugi, Bakura, and Joey their lunch and continued on. It was very tiring on the plane, and there wasn't much to do except eat at times and sleep. No one talked much and it was longer than they expected.
When the plane did end and they were picking up their belongings, they were feeling much more active. Joey picked up his suitcase and something inside started to shake. Joey was very curious to see what was going on. He zipped open the suitcase after setting it on the ground and a furry head popped out. It was his small golden retriever looking up at him with those big beady blue eyes and same tongue hanging out.
"Oh no! What are you doing here?!" He said with surprise and confusion.
"Wouldn't the bag checking guys would have seen him?" Yugi suggested and Bakura nodded in agreement.
"Stupid lazy asses! They should've paid more attention to their jobs! I swear people can get in and out with a gun or marijuana. Why people can even get to George Bush's house and shoot him, with bums on patrol like these guys!"
Joey picked up the puppy and held him in his arms and zipped shut the suitcase. He sighed and looked at the puppy then at his friends. "I bet he got fur all over my clothes," he said as put the dog down. The puppy sat there like always looking up to him with those beady eyes, the tongue sticking out, and his tail wagging. "Oh well, I guess he'll have to come with us. I feel sorry for Serenity's cat," he laughed at the thought.
"Well let's go then. We're going to miss the bus," Bakura stated out.
They nodded and walked out of the airport, the puppy following them. After they rode the bus and were now outside the bus station, Joey decided to let his sister know that they'll be there in a few minutes. Yugi agreed to that suggestion and said he'd watch the dog and wait. Joey walked over to a phone booth on a corner, and dialed Serenity's number. He set the phone by his ear and had his shoulder supporting it.
Joey tapped on the phone box and waited as the phone rung repeatedly. Then a little girl came over to him, "Excuse me sir, do you have a quarter?" He looked at her from the corner of his eye and made a "go away" gesture with his free hand. "Sir do you have a quarter?" She asked again. He mouthed out the word "go away" getting a little frustrated.
"I need a quarter sir, do you have one?" She asked yet again.
"I'm a little busy, can you leave?" Joey replied quietly.
"I really need a quarter mister," she wined getting on his nerves.
"Get away you little brat!" Joey snapped at her and she ran away, crying for her mommy. The phone picked up in the middle of Joey's sentence and he felt embarrassed and surprised. "Oh hey Serenity." he started but her voice cut him off as she said, "Hi, I'm not here right now. Please leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as possible." A beeping sound came up quickly and Joey hung up walking over to Yugi. "She's not there," he started.
Yugi looked worried and stress covered his forehead, "That's not our problem right now, Joey. Bakura's gone!"
Joey was confused now; he looked at his dog, which was scratching its ear with its paw. He looked back at Yugi, "Alright, he has to be here somewhere. By the time we find him, Serenity will probably be home."
"We'll find him, I just hope your right about that," Yugi said still worried, but more eased. They started their search for Bakura hoping that he got off the bus with them. They tried giving the puppy a scent, but he just ate what ever they gave him. It seemed harder than they suspected and it would take awhile. After all, wasn't it always hard to find someone so small in a city like this?
