"You did what?" Ryou asked in amazement over the phone line.
Joey again smiled victoriously. He'd gotten in back to his apartment, so he would be able to get it to move if he had to. "I bought a bus! You know, for tourin'!"
"How can you afford that?"
"Uh..."
"Don't tell me you didn't pay for it, Joey!"
"Give me some credit! I bought a bus!"
"Okay, so how can you afford it?"
Joey quickly changed the subject. "You know what, it's not important. I hafta call Yuugi an' everyone."
"Okay," Ryou sighed, exasperated, and promised, "I won't bother you on that anymore."
"Thanks, man!"
"So now what?"
"Now? Now I find out how much it costs ta put an add in the paper!"
"Probably almost as much."
"Say what? Joey counted on his fingers. "So... Now I'm down to square 1, again?"
"Well, maybe. But you could find other ways to advertise."
"Like...?"
"Like on the internet or something. I don't quite know."
"Hey! That's a good idea!"
"I'd like to think so."
"Okay, so how do I do that?"
Joey heard a loud crash on the other end of the phone. "I don't have time for this right now, okay, Joey? Talk to you later."
"Yeah... Alright. Just so you know, you can come with." Joey hung up the phone. "Great. Now what?" He sighed, picked the phone up again, and dialed.
It rang for a minute before Yuugi's grandfather picked up on the other line. "Hello?"
"Hey, Gramps. Is Yuugi there?" Joey crossed his fingers.
"Yes, of course, just a minute."
There was a short silence.
"Hello?"
"Yuug!" Joey grinned. "What's up, man?"
"I don't know. You called me, Joey."
"Yeah, I did. Guess what?"
"Um..."
"I bought a bus!"
"A what?"
"I bought a tour bus!"
"Joey, how can you afford a bus?"
Joey facefaulted. "Aw, man, let's not get into that, again."
"Okay... Then I have another question."
"Shoot!"
"Joey, why did you buy a bus?"
"Oh, yeah, I haven't told ya. I'm gonna start a tour!"
"Um..."
"Come on! Be excited! Tell me how cool I am!"
"..."
"Okay, whatever. Well, if you want to come with us, you can."
"Us? Hey, who else is going?"
"Uh... Well, it's a tour bus, there's gonna be a lot of people..."
"Well, yeah, but..."
"I told Bakura he could come, and Serenity's gonna be there, too."
"I dunno, if I'm in the same room as Bakura for too long, Yami could really loose it."
"Yeah, I guess... Man, it won't be the same without you there, Yuug."
"Sorry, Joey. I'll look into it, but I dunno."
"Alright, man. Thanks. Talk ta ya later."
Joey sighed heavily. He looked up as Serenity walked in. "Hey, Joey!"
"Hey, Serenity. What's up?"
"Absolutely nothing."
Joey smiled. "Sounds fun."
Serenity sat down in a big chair in the small living room. "I can't believe it, you had me upset over nothing." Joey smiled, but silently contradicted her. It was definitely something - a problem. And it would have to wait. "But instead we're getting out of here and going on vacation!"
"Getting outta here? What's wrong? Don't you like it here?"
Serenity blinked several times. "Of course I like it here! I'm back with my big brother! What's not to like?"
Joey frowned. "That's not what I mean. Maybe you haven't noticed, but this place is a dump."
Serenity shrugged. "Haven't noticed at all. It's nice."
"Yeah, I guess... It's gotta be better than being stuck in a bus for about a month with people you don't know, huh?"
Serenity shook her head. "It's gonna be great, Joey! Don't worry about it! I think this is your best idea yet!"
Joey sweatdropped. "Thanks."

Joey sat, again, in the back of Yuugi's grandfather's shop with the rest of the gang. After he had finished explaining everything, he asked, "So, Tristen, you coming? How about you, Tea?"
Tea nodded. "Yeah, that sounds fun!"
"What she said," Tristen agreed.
Tea frowned. "So exactly where are you gonna be going on this tour?"
"Well," Joey began, "I'll tell you, but you can't tell Serenity, okay?"
"That depends on your answer," Tristen replied.
"Alright..." Joey smiled victoriously. "I'm takin' Serenity to the beach!"
"Um..." Tea blinked slowly. "Joey, why did you buy a tour bus to go to a beach?"
Joey facefaulted. "Not A beach! THE beach! The beach I promised her we'd go back to. And I think it's about time I made good on that promise."
Yuugi nodded. "Sounds good to me."
"Yeah," Ryou agreed.
"Right..." Tristen shrugged. "I guess I won't tell your sister, then."
"Thanks, man."

Seto Kaiba stuffed clothes into a suitcase sitting on his bed as Mokuba bounced. "Why can't I go with you, Seto?"
"This is very important. And besides, you need to learn how to run Kaiba Corp. I won't always be here, Mokuba."
Mokuba frowned. "Don't say that."
"It's true. I won't always be here. Just like our parents weren't always there." Seto slammed the suitcase closed. "Things don't always last."
"But it's gonna! I don't know what I'd do without you. Nothing will ever change. You'll always be my big brother, and you'll always be there for me, Seto."
"Mokuba, you can't expect everything to work your way. It just doesn't happen."
Mokuba sighed. "Why can't I come with you, Seto?"
Seto smiled and looked at Mokuba - Bouncing, carefree. Tears stung his eyes, and he quickly turned away.
Okay, one more chappie done. Sorry if I slowed down, but now we only have 1 working computer, and someone's always on it. But please review! Comment, flame, whatever. But if you're gonna flame... Please don't just say something like "Bad story. Bad author. Bad." Or anything else weird like that... If you have to flame me, please make it productive! Seriously! I mean, if you're feeding me compliments, that at least makes me want to write more, but if you're insulting me... v.v
