Lila: I apologize for the Tea bashing. I will admit that I do not like her. (Okay she's my least favorite character next to Weevil Underwood but so what?) I must have just taken my bad mood out on her. Please don't flame me for it! (Whimpers) I really like this story and I don't want one character to ruin it. I'll try to lay off the Tea bashing. I could just go back to torturing Joey.

Joey: NO! Why does everybody stick up for Tea? I mean LOOK AT WHAT SHE"S DONE TO ME!

Seto: Drama Queen.

Joey: Shut up.

Seto: I don't think reviewers are going to hate you for one bashing.

Lila: Really?

Seto: Sure. Tea probably will, but everyone else should be okay with it.

Tea: I'm down right pissed.

Lila: Chill out. You'll get your good parts too.

Tea: (Grumbles)

Lila: This is not good. I've got angry reviewers and angry Yu-gi-oh characters. Ahhhh!

Joey: Now whose being the drama queen?

Everyone: SHUT UP!

Lila: Calm down! (Takes deep breath) I looked through and I have taken it too far out of character. (Smacks forehead) I really did need one character to get attacked though.

Lila doesn't own Yu-gi-oh

With Snow Comes Insanity

Chapter 16

Everyone sat around the dining room table panting like mad. Their faces were dripping with goo and paste, noodles and sauce. The whole room was a complete disaster.

Tea sat up against the one wall glaring.

"I'm sorry for what I said Tea. You were being kind of bitchy though." Joey said.

"You'd be bitchy too if you hadn't had a full nights sleep in 3 days because you've been sharing a tent with the loudest snorer in the world!" She said.

"I don't snore!" Mai demanded.

"Please! It sounds like the Titanic is crashing right next to you!" Tea said.

Mai tossed a hand full of mashed potatoes at Tea she found on the floor. Tea turned to Joey. "It really hurt me what you said." She told him.

"It was mean. I'll make it up to you. I'll do one thing you want. You name it." He said.

"Okay. We'll leave it as an IOU okay?" She said.

"Deal." Joey said. He gave Tea a hug and in the process she dumped a handful of coleslaw down the back of his pant. "Very funny." He said.

"I thought so." She grinned. She then noticed Seto. "Seto!"

"Reflexes!" He demanded.

"Wow. What a mess." Mokuba said as he looked around the room.

"The maids are going to have a fit." Seto said.

"I'm not complaining." Joey said. He licked a mixture of pizza sauce and macaroni and cheese off of his arm.

"You really are a dog." Seto said.

"Shut up!" Joey snapped.

"I guess we need to take turns showering." Yugi said.

"Hey if we need to save water, I can share a shower with you Mai." Joey said.

"In you're dreams." She said.

"Where else!" He commented.

"You sick freak!" She shouted and slapped him across the face.

"Smooth Joey. Real smooth." Tristan said. Joey shrugged as he rubbed the side of his face.

"I don't think the shower is going to take care of this big of a mess." Seto said.

"Then what should we do?" Mia moaned as she pulled long strands of spaghetti out of her hair.

"I have a rinse station in the science lab down the hall." Seto said. "It's very powerful and should do the trick."

Everyone followed Seto down the hall and into the lab. The sterilized room was kind of creepy. Everyone looked around at the bottle of unknown liquids and things bubbling here and calculating there. It very much resembled a mad scientist's lair.

"Seto I though you were just into technology." Joey said.

"I have other hobbies too you knit whit." He snapped. Seto walked over to the one wall where three-shower curtains were hanging. He pulled them open to reveal the three large metal tubes protruding out of the roof.

"Everyone pair up." Seto ordered. "And three pairs get in. One pair to a tube."

Mai and Tea stood under one. Yugi and his STILL drunk Yami stood under the second and Joey and Tristan stood under the third. Rock paper scissors of course decided all of this and it was now 4 in the morning. Some of them took a nap while they waited for all the decisions and the food has now hardened one some of them. For example, Yami Bakura has developed a plastic- like coating from the sweat and sour sauce.

"You okay Yami Bakura?" Yami Malik asked.

"I cn brly mv my mouf." He said.

"Let's get rinsing." Seto said. "I'll just warn you that there are several gallons of water being held up in those tubes and it will come out fairly quickly."

"We can take it." Joey said. "Now hurry up!"

Seto grinned. "As you wish." He pulled the chord and the tubes opened. The water came pounding out of the tubes at an incredible rate. They had to hold on for dear life to prevent being washed away. The water was nearly beating them senseless.

"TURN.IT.OFF!" Tristan screamed.

"I can't!" Seto shouted back. "It only stops when the tank runs out."

"YOU.SON.OF.A" The water roared and over powered his voice.

"I'm SINING in the rain! I'm singing in the RAIN!" Yami sang and danced around. Yugi was clinging to him for dear life for he could not stand up on his own against the force. Bakura stared at Duke. "Do we really have to go through that?" He asked.

Seto nodded and Bakura swallowed his heart back down into his throat. The water soon ended.

"Seto!" Tea yelled.

"It's a reflex! Sorry!" He said. The six crawled out of the water like drowned rats groaning in pain.

"Stop you're whining. It's our turns now." Seto said. He and Mokuba stood under one, Yami Bakura and Yami Malik stood under two and Duke and Bakura stood under three. "Okay Tea.Now!" Seto said.

"Tea pulled to chord and a second gallon began to blasts down on the six of them. "Bloody Hell!" Bakura yelled through the flood.

The others stood and waited for them to finish. "Hey! What's all this stuff?" Joey asked.

"Don't touch that Joey. It could be dangerous." Yugi warned Joey. Yugi was rather busy trying to hold his other half up right.

"Nonsense. I know what I'm doing. I was one of the best students in chemistry class." Joey bragged.

"Right." Tristan snorted.

"Actually he is. For some reason he knows his chemistry. He used to help me study." Tea said.

"Really?" Tristan said. "Hey! How come you never helped me."

"You never asked." Joey said. "Now what do we have here, it looks like some sort of high tech biologically engineered carbon based block." Joey said.

"That's a sponge Joey."

"Of course it is. I was just playin' wit cha." He said. They all rolled their eyes.

"What's this? Miracle potions?" Joey asked.

"Stop being such a moron Joey. There's no such thing." Tristan said.

"Then what's this stuff?" Joey asked. He stepped back and showed the cupboard to the others. It was lined with different potions.

"It's just a joke Joey." Tristan said. "Probably fruit juice he lets Mokuba mix for fun."

"I think it's real." Yami said. "Potions and miracle drinks have always been around. People used to believe that different mixtures would cause them to be stronger, younger and so on. It's very possible he's trying to recreate them."

"Should we ask Seto?" Tea asked.

"He's looking a little busy right now." Mai said as she looked back at the small waterfall coming out of the roof."

"Drink it Joey!" Yami said.

"Ya. Drink one of them!" Mai cheered.

"NO WAY!" He said. "What is something bad happens to me?"

"Drink it!" Tea ordered. "That's what you can do for your IOU. Drink it!"

"Fine." He grumbled. "But Yugi has to drink one too."

"Okay." Yugi said.

"Really?" Joey asked.

"I think it's fruit juice. We'll be fine." Yugi said.

"Okay. Which one do you want?" He asked.

Yugi stood on his tiptoes and looked into the cabinet. They were all labeled with symbols. One had a star, one had an arrow pointing up, one had an eye, another had a spider, a flower.it went on and on. "I'll take the one with the arrow pointing up. It looks like grape juice." He said.

"Okay Yug." Joey said and handed him the small vile. "I'll take this one with the feather on it." He held up the vile with a light blue substance in it. "It could be Kool-Aid." He said.

"On the count of three." Mai said.

"One"

"Two"

"Three"

The boys gulped down the liquids, "Ew! That isn't Grape Juice. Yugi scrunched his nose. "It tastes like vinegar."

"I'm not even gonna tell ya what mine tasted like." Joey said.

"How do you feel?" Tea asked.

"Okay.I guess. Nothing happened." Yugi said.

"What a gyp." Tristan said.

Suddenly, Yugi and Joey were on the floor rolling in pain.

"What's wrong?" Tea asked.

"Hmmm. That doesn't look good." Yami said.

The boys continued to wriggle on the floor and then a light began to shine around them. It became so brilliant that it blinded all of them. When the light dimmed the others gasped. "Oh boy." Mai Said.

"Looks like I got even with Joey but Seto is gonna be pissed." Tea said.

"Really really pissed." Tristan added.

The water stopped and Seto crawled out. "What was that weird light?" He asked.

"We all saw it." Bakura said.

"Oh, done already?" tea asked. She stepped in the way and blocked his view of Joey and Yugi. "You look much better but you still have a lot of stuff on you. You should go back in."

"Really? I feel fine." Seto said.

"Really. Another shot and you'll be ALL better." She said in a sing song voice.

"You look fine Seto. She's just being weird." Mokuba giggled. They all walked over but Tristan also stepped in their way.

"What are you hiding?" Seto demanded.

"Nothing!" They all said at once.

Seto was getting angry. "Seto? Have I ever told you how sexy you look?" Mai asked. She pushed against him trying to distract him.

"Now I KNOW something is going on." Seto said.

"Nonsense. I just think you are such a better looking man than Joey." She cooed.

That when the noise on the other side of the desk came and drew Seto's attention back. "What the hell was that?" He pushed past Mai and walked past the desk. "Holy Shit!" He shouted.

"Cool!" Mokuba said.
