A Trip to Remember
By Snare-chan
Notes: By the way, just wanted to mention once soever is what I was looking for. It's a phrase I have sadly picked up on. And thank you all who have reviewed. It always cheers me up on my darkest days. ^^=
~*~
Another hot, blistering day. Yugi noted to himself that he feared Egypt a bit. If it was this hot here, how would it be there? Most likely sunstroke and heat waves galore. He sighed deeply, shifting his book bag slightly on his back so it wouldn't dig into his back. Joey was currently stocking up on snacks while Bakura calmly sat on a plastic seat, reading a novel.
Yugi himself was entranced by the sight of everything. He'd never gotten to actually fly on an airplane before. Sure, a boat and an helicopter but that was it. THIS was a real live metal bird! Even Yami, who by chance had never even heard of such a thing, was just as interested by this machine of flying ability. It had taken Yugi a few to many hours to tell Yami what such a thing was, and he hoped he would not have to repeat the process over again.
//All you had to say was that it was a mechanical device capable of flight//
/I thought you didn't understand such concepts./
Yami coughed, huskily and harshly to prove his point. Yugi blushed just slightly, rubbing the back of his head absently.
/Well, you didn't understand a bicycle or what roller blades were./
//...no comment.//
Yugi grinned to himself, not saying anything else. His violet eyes locked on all the different things happening around him. He was entranced by it all, so much energy going about him. Voices of excited people and smells foreign to him. It sent a great rush through him that padded his soul. He was glad he'd manage to win this trip for he could just i/ifeeli/i deep inside of himself that this trip would be one he'd never forget. He mused and prodded this thought a bit, curious. He wasn't sure if this memorial trip would be a good or bad one.
Yugi started out of his deep thoughts when Joey tapped him on the shoulder. He started, blinking up at his tall partner.
"This is what ya wanted, right?"
"Oh, yeah!"
He smiled in thanks, taking the tasty morsel from the other and started eating. Ah, the fine taste of fast food. Nothing like it in the world. Joey remained at his side, chewing on his hotdog silently as he watched everything that was happening.
"Ne buddy, what do ya think we'll see at the place?"
"I don't know Joey, maybe some pyramids or some tombs."
"You think so? I wonder if there's any gold in any of 'em."
"Maybe..."
Yugi drifted off softly, hearing their flight being called. He lifted his head towards the speaker slightly in anxiety, shifting from one foot to another. He suddenly grew a bit ill, thinking of the height they would need to take to get off the ground. He sighed wistfully, wondering if it was wise to eat before this...
"Yugi, are you alright?"
Yugi looked back at Bakura at the sound of his soft voice, shrugging absently.
"First time on a plane I see."
"That obvious?"
"Afraid so."
Bakura gently placed a kindhearted hand on his shoulder, causing Yugi once more to look back at the other.
"I've been on one before, it's nothing scary at all. You can't even tell you're up in the air."
Yugi smiled softly in thanks, nodding his head. Bakura was truly a very dear friend. He seemed to worry over his friend just as much as Yugi himself did. It was one thing Yugi was most thankful from the other.
"Thanks."
Bakura nodded removing his hand, looking out the window till it was time to board the plane.
~*~
Yugi could hear his very heart beating. Or was that Joey's? He couldn't tell who's. Both of them were hyperventilating. The sad thing was...they hadn't even left the ground yet.
Bakura himself was sitting calmly in his seat, chewing on some peanuts while listening to music and reading another novel. Yugi always wondered how, with his friend being such a klutz, could be so multi tasked. It must just be one of those many wonders of the world...
Yugi breathed in deeply then exhaled deeply, repeating the process over and over again. He didn't know why he was suddenly so scared, butterflies running through his stomach. Or were they elephants? He just couldn't seem to tell which.
Then the plane started.
/I'm not gonna die, I'm not gonna die, I'm NOT going to die...The plane's engine is not going to suddenly combust, sending us hurdaling to the ground a thousand miles per hour into the earth and cause us to burn up in one large mass of fire.../
//That, I think, did not help our situation.//
/Why couldn't we go by boat.../
Yugi closed his eyes deeply, feeling the plane begin to start up and pull around.
To be continued...
