~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"... One...?" Bakura asked.
"Nope..." Malik said, his eyes closed, and his hands tucked behind his head, in a relaxed position.
"... Nine...?" Tristan tried.
"Wrong..."
"Six..?" Joey asked.
"Ooh, so close...!"
"... Seven...?" Yami asked.
"Correct! Give the King of Games a prize!" Malik said, with a wide grin.
"The last granola bar..." Tea said, as she handed the said prize to the Pharoah. Yami raised an eyebrow, then put his 'hard-earned' prize in Yugi's backpack.
"It wasn't exactly fair, that we had to play against the King of Games, you know..!" Kaiba spat.
"You didn't even offer a guess, Kaiba... something about it being too ridiculous..?" Yami said, with a smirk. Kaiba glared at him, then turned and stared out the window again.
"I say we just stop somewhere... we've been driving for nearly five hours now..!" Tea pointed out. "And we must all be pretty hungry, since we were playing a game for a measly GRANOLA BAR!"
"Thank you, Tea... I WAS WATCHING THE CLOCK TOO, YA KNOW!?" Joey snapped.
"Then why don't you stop!?" Tea demanded.
"What good is stoppin?! We have no money! This is a school thing, remember!?" Joey spat. Everyone grimaced. Those two were impossible at times.
Then Yami turned back to normal Yugi. His innocent eyes a sure sign that the normal Yugi was back.
"Turn on the charm, Yugi..." Tristan said, with a grin. Yugi smiled, innocently.
"Are you gonna stop, Joey?" he asked, as he leaned up on the seat, watching Joey, curiously. Joey blinked, "but, Yuge..." he started to argue. Then he looked into the large, violet eyes.
"Oops..." he said, with a sigh. "Fine, fine..."
"It's not just for us, Joey... we're also running low on gas..." Malik pointed out, pointing at the gas gauge. Everyone leaned up to look. Yup, nearly out of gas.
"... Damnit!" everyone groaned, in exasperation.
***
Everyone piled out of the van, stretching, yawning, and looking around for a bathroom. Not to mention a place to eat.
"There's a diner..." Bakura said, with a small smile, pointing at a 50s looking diner-trailer thing.
And for reasons unknown, Yami Bakura and Yami Malik seperated from Bakura and Malik. As did Yami. Why? Who knows. Maybe Nanashi just thought it would be better this way. Possibly. She's weird that way... anyways.
Kaiba frowned slightly, at the sudden growth of the small party, then he pursed his lips. "The mutt's right..." he commented, everyone turned to him. Joey glaring at him.
"Huh?"
"Things aren't free... they cost money... and unless you guys aren't carrying money, than we should be fine..."
Joey dug in his pocket, pulling out a wrinkled 5 dollar bill. Tristan also pulled out a 5. Bakura and Tea each pulled out a 10 dollar bill. Yugi shook his head. Malik pulled out a 5 dollar bill.
"Pitiful..." Yami Bakura muttered. Yami Malik snickered.
"Shut up..." Bakura and Malik snapped.
Yami Bakura and Yami Malik (who will now go on to be known as Yami B and YamiM, because Nanashi's lazy v.v) glanced at each other, shocked to have their light sides say "shut up". To them, even.
Sighing at the pitiful (not to mention poor) mortals, Yami B calmly strided up to Kaiba, and swung his arm, seemingly at nothing. Then in a flash, he held up a gold card. Everyone stared in shock.
"HEY!" Kaiba snapped.
"Dinner's on Kaiba..." Yami B said, with a smirk.
"No, it isn't!" Kaiba hissed, and grabbed Yami B's collar, roughly.
"Alright... fine... but let's make a game out of this..." Yami B suggested, with a small smirk.
"You sound like Yami..." Kaiba snapped.
Then Yami smirked, "someone say my name..?"
Yami B gestured at Kaiba, "Yami... perhaps you have a game in mind... Kaiba refuses to buy your poor aibou some food..."
Yugi's belly began to growl, causing the small boy to blush, and he stared at the ground, sheepishly.
"That's not the case!" Kaiba snapped, "you guys have to learn to be independent!"
"But, what if most of us don't have the money to be independent..?" Tristan pointed out. Bakura and Malik nodded in agreement.
"True..."
Joey smirked, "lemme talk to him..."
Everyone gaped at Joey in shock.
"Whaat!?"
"Seriously... lemme talk to 'em..."
Yami smirked, "I'll assist you, Joey..."
Joey grinned, "cool... hey, Tristan... help me put him in the van."
Tristan blinked, then grinned, "oh that... sure..."
Bakura, Tea, Yugi and Malik glanced at each other. Yugi and Bakura already starting to blush. YamiM and Yami B started to snicker.
Joey and Tristan teamed up, Tristan pulling Kaiba down and grabbed him under his arms, and Joey moved in, picking up Kaiba's legs. Kaiba's face turned red at the sudden humiliation he had to deal with.
"WHAT'RE YOU DOING!?" he shouted.
They both smirked, and calmly tossed Kaiba back in the van.
"HEY!"
"Let's go, Yami..." Joey said, with a grin.
Yami smirked, giving Yugi an assuring look. Then strolled over. Both he and Joey calmly climbed in, after Kaiba.
"WHAT'RE YOU DOING!?" Kaiba shouted. With one last grin, Joey closed the door.
The others all stared in shock.
"I would not be surprised if that thing started rocking..." Yami B said with a snicker. YamiM grinned.
"Me either..."
Malik bopped YamiM, lightly with his fist. "Hentai..."
Tristan smiled, faintly, then grabbed Yugi and Bakura's shoulders, "c' mon... let's go check out that diner..." he suggested. Yugi and Bakura nodded, slowly, and allowed Tristan to lead them away. Malik shrugged and followed.
Tea was biting her lip. Did she wanna miss this!? She had her camera! She grinned wickedly, and dashed towards the van.
Yami B and YamiM glanced at each other.
"Should we... help them?" Yami B asked, cautiously.
YamiM raised an eyebrow, "with Kaiba?!" he asked, in surprise, "he already has the Pharoah and Joey..."
Yami B rolled his eyes, "not like that, you hentai! I mean stopping the mortal girl..." he pointed at Tea, for emphasis.
"CURSE ALL TINTED WINDOWS!" Tea wailed, as she pressed her camera against the darkened windows, seeing nothing.
YamiM and Yami B glanced at each other, sweatdrops forming, then nodded. "Better help them..." they agreed, in unison.
***
Yugi sighed, glumly.
"I'm sure it's nothing, Yugi..." Bakura assured him. Yugi forced a smile and nodded.
"One Sampler... anything else for you, kids?" Dora, the waitress asked, chewing on bubblegum, snapping it, loudly. She pushed up her horn-rimmed glasses with her... tampon? Malik and Tristan being the first to notice.
Malik raised his eyebrow, "uhhh..."
"Ummm, excuse me..." Tristan said, slowly.
"Yeah?"
With as much tact as Tristan could muster, he pointed at the tampon, giving her a quizzical look. Dora blinked at the tampon.
"Strange... if this was behind my ear, then where's... my pencil..?" she said, slowly.[1] Yugi and Bakura's eyebrows shot up, as they glanced at each other. Then back at Dora.The waitress sighed, "excuse me, boys..." with that, she turned and headed for the bathroom.
Tristan blinked. Malik tried not to snicker.
"THERE IT IS!" Dora's voice cried, in delight.
The four teenagers fell over, classic looks of anime disbelief on their faces. "URK!"
Dora then walked out of the bathroom, waving around her newly found pencil. Then she blinked at the four boys on the floor.
"What now, Dora..?"
Dora held up her pencil.
"Left it in the bathroom again, didn't you?" the chef asked, dryly.
"Can't help it..." Dora said, with a shrug.
***
After a while, everyone was in the diner. And Kaiba, well, he did not look happy. Why not, you ask?
"YOU THOUGHT WHAT!?" Yami gasped. "Aibou, of course not!" he quickly embraced the smaller boy.
"Really?" Yugi asked, confused.
"It was a mere duel... if Kaiba lost, he'd let us use his card..." Yami explained.[2]
"Then why was the van rocking?" Tea demanded, pouting.
Joey frowned, "exactly what I was wonderin..." he glared hard at Yami B and YamiM. The two yamis merely grinned, it was supposed to look innocent. But considering who was doing the grinning, it looked more devillish.
"Well, that's a relief..." Bakura said, with a small smile.
"Why's that?" Malik asked, confused.
"We have to ride in that van, remember?"
"Oh yeah..." everyone shuddered at the thought.
Kaiba, Yami and Joey blushed, furiously.
"Sorry, kiddies... this card don't work..." Dora said, bringing the gold card back, and sat it back on the table. Everyone stared at the card, then back at Dora.
"What?" they asked, slowly.
"It don't work..." Dora repeated.
"KAIBA!" Tristan and Joey snarled. Both reached over, grabbing Kaiba's collar, and started to shake him, violently.
"Why don't you just try some saran wrap..." Yugi suggested.
"Yes, that might work..." Bakura agreed. "Tristan, Joey... stop, already!" Bakura, Tea and Malik started trying to pull the taller teenagers off each other.
Yami B rolled his eyes, as he sat at the counter, examining his fingernails, "you all have money... 35 dollars to be exact... just use that..."
"What about gas!" they all demanded. Yami B shrugged.
"That's for you to figure out..."
Finally after a few moments, they all sat their money on the table. Dora smiled as she took it, "I'll be right back with your change..."
"What good is change... that van's pretty big... I'd say it needs up to 60 dollars just to get a full tank, again..." Tristan said, with a shake of his head.
Everyone grimaced.
"Here you go, kiddies... 4.68's your change..." Dora said, with a cheerful smile, oblivious to the 'poor' kids' dilemma. After a moment, they all got up, and walked out of the diner and went back to their van.
***
The group were gathered around their van: Yami and Yugi sitting on the hood, Kaiba leaning against the van next to Joey, playing with his gold card. Tristan took a walk down the street. Bakura was watching for Tristan from the top of the van. Malik was playing with his GameboyAdvance(GBA), YamiM and Yami B were throwing pinecones at passing vehicles. And Tea was snapping pictures of pretty much anything.[A/N: old habits die hard *snickers*]
"We're screwed..." Joey muttered. Tea sighed, and snapped a picture of the street.
"Couldn't agree with you more..." she mumbled. Then she lowered the camera, blinking. "Hey, guys..."
"Tristan's coming back..." Bakura told them, as he jumped down. Tea rolled her eyes.
"I was going to tell them that..."
Everyone looked up, as Tristan walked up to them.
"I think I solved our money problems..." he told them.
"How?" Yami asked.
With a small smirk, Tristan handed the Pharoah a flyer. Yami raised an eyebrow and read it over. Then his face fell. "No... No, No, No... NO, TRISTAN!" he bellowed.
"ACK!" Tristan fell over.
"'No' what?" Joey asked, as he read over Yami's shoulder. Then he started to snicker. "You're kiddin!"
Tristan shrugged.
"What's he kidding about?" Malik asked, as he lowered his GBA and read the flyer as well. Then he burst out laughing.
"It's not funny! I will not subject my aibou to such a place!" Yami snapped. Yugi blinked.
"What kind of place..?" he asked, confused.
"A strip club..." Malik informed him.
Everyone froze.
"What?" Tristan asked, confused.
"A STRIP CLUB!?"
Tristan sighed, then took the flyer and held it up, "before you all get all judgemental..." he said, calmly. "It's amateur's night at the strip club... 1st prize is 500 dollars, 2nd is 300, and 3rd is 250... either way, we'll be able to get gas, right..?"
"I can't help but wonder how you got that flyer, Tristan..." Tea said, slowly.
"Yes, I can't help but wonder that, as well..." Bakura said, frowning slightly. Tristan's face reddened.
"Not what you're thinking Bakura... it was handed out in front of the place, not from inside... I would never go inside..!" he said, hastily. Bakura laughed, to Tristan's relief.
Kaiba folded his arms, "alright... if it's a way to make money... who do you suggest enter?" he asked, dryly.
"Well, it's got to be someone who looks older than us..." Joey said, slowly.
Yami, Yami B and YamiM stepped back. No way were they gonna do this. Yami pulled Yugi back, slightly.
"Has to be a guy..." the blonde teenager went on. Tea stepped back, with a smile of relief.
"Has to be single, cause there will be grabbing..." Joey added. Bakura and Tristan both smiled and stepped back.
Everyone else snickered.
"And... should be a redhead, since they're more fiery..."
Malik and Joey grinned at each other, and stepped back. Everyone else grinned, and nodded in agreement.
Kaiba froze. They were kidding. They had to be kidding! THEY HAD TO BE!
***
"Meet Seto Kaiba... he wants in, on your amateur's night..." Joey said, with a wide grin, as he held Kaiba's arm so he wouldn't run.
Kaiba was hit with a sense of dread.
THEY WEREN'T KIDDING!
