A Trip to Remember
By Snare-chan
Notes: Well, having seen that my other stories were very bad and in need of LOTS of work I saw fit to just start completely over. Hopefully this one will be as good as the others. ^^ Also note, I can't remember nor have the will to use the Japanese names of the characters. So don't go complaining to me cause I'm using the 'dubbie' names.

/Yugi talking to Yami in his head/
~*~
It was a bright and glorious day, one filled with light and wonder. Even the birds sang at their peeks, chirps and songs of praise towards the song being issued most fluently. Even the quick witted mosquito, normally speedy to suck from its prey moved slowly through the air, lazily landing on whatever random victim crossed its path. As lovely as the day seemed it was summer, the months in this season most hot and treacherous to those easily affected by the sun and its heat. The rays of our sun beating down on the crusting earth, making each precious drop of water move up into the sky and to the clouds up above.
School itself was more horrible then usual on this overly heated day, since it had no air-conditioning once soever despite its new appearance. Yugi, the boy with natural lightening like spikes for hair in the back row of the classroom, was helplessly fanning himself with his notebook (which he'd originally gotten out to take notes with) in hopes of cooling his wary body. His eyes lazily scanned the classroom, spotting his best friend Joey in the row next to his, only he was second to the front. He smiled softly to himself, amused at his best friend's state. Joey was currently napping in the shadow of his book, which was propped up in front of him and hiding his sleeping face. Yugi's eyes needn't move much more to spot his other friend, Tea. She was idly fingering her pencil, head held up by her hand as she too looked ready for sleep. Biology, as boring as it was, was no surprise to have everyone almost falling out of their seats from sleeping upright. At least in his opinion and, not surprisingly, his own yami agreed with him (for Yami was fast asleep in his very soulroom).
Yugi sighed wistfully, eyes still locked on the back of Tea's head. He couldn't help blushing slightly as he continued to gaze at the other, entranced by her shapely frame and lovely posture. And Tea, being the girl she is and having that womanly six sense, turned around in her seat at the feeling of being watched. She smiled softly, waving just lightly at the other before turning back around to 'pay attention'. Yugi smiled softly, shifting in his seat. He knew he was in deep, taking such gestures into memory and such but he...he just adored her so much...
As Yugi wondered about how Tristan and Bakura's day was going (for they had no classes nor lunch together so he couldn't tell) he idly chewed on the back of his pen. The object suspended in between his lips and twitching every once and awhile as he nibbled on its plastic surface. He'd been strangely losing sleep, dreaming of things but unable to remember them other then that he'd had them. He thought a bit deeper on this, his childlike mind however wandering, moving onto other things. From grades to how he couldn't wait for the day to end to signal summer vacation to envisioning one specific girl in a leather suited bikini...
"Ne YUG'!"
"Hm?"
"Schools' over bud, we can leave."
"Oh!"
Yugi shot up from his half lying position on the desk, noting the now completely empty room. He blushed now in embarrassment, rubbing the back of his head. Joey only laughed though, sliding off his friend's desk and messing up his hair.
"Come on already, I don't know about you Yug' but I'm ready to break out of this joint!"
Yugi cheered with his friend, just as eager to get out of this place of torment and horrors unknown and back outside where there was at least a breeze. They both stopped at their lockers one last time before finally taking their leave, bookbags over their shoulders carelessly.
"Hey Joey, did Tea have any basketball practice today?"
"Yeah, she was practically out of the room before the bell even rang!"
Obviously said girl, Tea, had taken on a new hobby in hopes of bettering her chances for her true dream, dancing. She had read somewhere, Yugi and friends assuming from one of Mai's teen girl magazines or whatever, that basketball made one more coordinated and graceful, not to mention attractive. So she was quick to join (to everyone's amusement). Yugi chuckled softly, shaking his head at the thought. She was already graceful and attractive in his opinion...
Yugi sighed deeply as the sun beat down on his small frame. The thing seemed to have no mercy all day. Yugi was already desperately looking for a sidewalk covered in shade to walk home in, finding only random spots few and far between. Soon both him and Joey were desperate for some cool air, stepping inside a random store in hopes of getting some refuge. They did, being welcomed by sudden artificial air. The pair toke in large cooling breaths of air to cool their overheated bodies. Finally satiated they took the time to look around them. Joey, in his bliss fell to his knees and praised the lord while Yugi clapped his hands. They'd stepped right into an ice cream shop! How ironic...
Yugi, having the money, was first to order. Joey was second of course and they both stepped over to the side to let other's order too. As the impatient twosome waited for their love of the day Yugi noted a small clear box next to him, seeing many multicolored spheres within and each holding a different number.
"Hey Joey, look at this. You can win a trip for your friends," Yugi stated aloud, finger tracing over the instructions carelessly tapped down on the counter. Joey blinked, glancing over Yugi's small body to eye the orange paper, slightly crumpled from being touched and moved over so much.
"You're good with this stuff, you should play," noted Joey, eyeing the large box.
Yugi paused, eyeing the thing before inserting a single silver coin, watching the machine come to life and turn about a bit to shift the little colored balls about. One popped out, it being the only color Yugi could see. He picked it up carefully, eyeing the number, the large bold character of it saying #1. He blinked, surprised. He'd just won a free trip for himself and two other friends...
~*~
Yugi carefully began to pack his things, checking off things from his list that Grandpa had prepared for him. His par of suitcases were already pretty full, one completely done while he finished the other. It was his Grandpa's, since his own was obviously already done for.
//How ironic this all is. Though, I must admit It'd be nice to see how much my homeland has changed//
Yami, having been sitting silently in Yugi's mind, finally decided to put in his two cents. Yugi started just slightly, still not having grown used to the other's presence and random words. Yugi resumed his packing, talking back to the other to show he was paying attention to him too.
/I'm sure it has changed, it having a new government and new technology./
//Yes, I wonder if I'll recognize it all.//
/Never know until we get there./
Yugi sighed with triumph and zipped up his suitcase, gently placing it on top of the other. He plopped down on his bed, shirt slightly riding up as he fell back and stretched. He placed his hands behind his head as he grew wary but not enough to fall asleep.
/I can't wait till tomorrow.../
//You should still get some rest.//
/I know, but we're going to Egypt tomorrow! I won't catch I wink I think.../
Yami snorted softly, the sound bordering an amused chuckle. Yugi sighed lightly, looking out his window into the night sky. He looked to the door as Grandpa passed, wishing him a goodnight before curling up into his sheets. Yugi just kicking off his shoes and curling up in the bed sheets, still in his school uniform.
//Sweet dreams, my light.//
/Night Yami./
Even Yugi's voice sounded sleepy, his 'brain' voice slurred and slow-like. He yawned aloud, soon falling into a deep slumber. The next morning he'd be off...
