Summer Fun:

By: ~*Brittney a.k.a Hoshi Mizuriu*~

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-gi-oh! Good grief! How long must I say this?! It gets tiresome very fast!

Okay, someone asked that I make another plane ride chapter, and I'm sure everyone else would want that too, right? ^-^* Anyways, I have to give my older sis some of the creds, since some of these that you are about to see is from her. Well, majority of it.

And thank you for all the reviews so far! ^-^* It's nice to have some ideas for this story since my other Yu-gi-oh! story is in trouble. . .(oops, maybe I shouldn't have said. . .*sweat drops*) Anyways, onward!

P.S: Don't hate me for getting this chapter out for so long!

". . .199 cans of soda in the fridge, 199 cans. Snap em up, gulp em down, 198 cans of soda in the fridge. . ." Joey Wheeler cited in a singy-song voice, ". . .197 cans of soda in the fridge, 197 cans. Snap em up, gulp em down, 196 cans of soda in the fridge. . ."

Next to him, Seto Kaiba kept his eyes closed.

". . .196 cans of soda in the fridge, 196 cans. Snap em up, gulp em down, 195 cans of soda in the fridge. . ."

The elder Kaiba shifted his arms.

". . .195 cans of soda in the fridge, 195 cans. Snap em up, gulp em down, 194 cans of soda in the fridge. . ."

Seto straightened his back.

". . .194 cans of soda in the fridge, 194 cans. Snap em up, gulp em down, 193 cans of soda in the fridge. . ."

Seto turned on his other side.

". . .193 cans of soda in the fridge, 193 cans. Snap em up, gulp em down, 192 cans of soda in the fridge. . ."

Seto shuffled his feet a few times.

". . .192 cans of soda in the fridge, 192 cans. Snap em up, gulp em down, 191 cans of soda in the fridge. . ."

Seto crossed his arms.

". . .191 cans of soda in the fridge, 191 cans. Snap em up, gulp em down, 190 cans of soda in the fridge. . ."

Seto began to twitch.

". . .190 cans of soda in the fridge, 190 cans. Snap em up, gulp em down, 189 cans of soda in the fridge. . ."

". . ." Seto twitched more.

". . .189 cans of soda in the fridge, 189 cans. Snap em up, gulp em down, 18-"

"Would you SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Seto yelled in Joey's ear, a large vein popping out on his head.

". . ." The blonde stuck a finger in each of his ears and made a goofy face at the older Kaiba, "Hah?! WHAT?!?! Can't HEAR YOU!!!!!"

"Why you - !!!!" Seto bared his fists and lunged at him.

Tristen Taylor sat with his arms crossed, his shoulders hunched and his face full of irritation as he continued to stare at nothing at all, looking at his watch every so often. The flight attendants had given up a long time ago on trying to shut the two teens up and just left them alone,

' . . .it's a wonder that the Captain didn't just open the door and throw them out. The least they could do was grab a bunch of duct tape rolls and shut their mouths with it!'

Next to him was the calm and cool Ryou Bakura, who had succeeded in blocking out most of the argument behind him by stuffing a little more than a lot of cotton balls in his ear and is now starting to nod on and off before falling asleep finally, his back resting comfortably in the chair.

The brown haired male huffed, laying his chin on his knuckles, trying to endure the on-going noisy conflict,

". . .lucky Ryou. . ."

Beside Ryou rested Joey's brown haired younger sister Serenity. She, too, had managed to find a few cotton balls herself and crammed them in to snuff out the knife throwing and fire-breathing words that managed to be heard all over in the plane. Not even the engines that roared outside could compete against the Yelling Competition Candidates' verbal and sometimes physical fight.

Across from the three sat Yugi Moto and Téa Gardner, whom had managed to doze off. Too tired from the altitude and the constant arguing, Yugi had ended up leaning his head on Téa's arm and she didn't seem to mind. . .nor care, so she left him alone without protest and just slept herself with a slight smile on her face, her mind filling with past memories of her friends, and the soon-to-be reunited one.

Behind them rested the little Kaiba child, Mokuba, who laid his head on the purple violet eyed blonde woman's lap with her purple jacket draped over his body to keep him warm against the cabin's air-conditioner while she gritted down hard on her teeth as she tried to keep from yelling herself at Joey and Seto. So all Mai Valentine could do was to sigh and stew and boil silently, trying to restrain her control to just get up and strangle both boys to death to shut them up,

'. . .I don't know WHY I even agreed to come with them on this trip! I should have known by common sense that Joey and Kaiba would do this all the way! Stupid, stupid, STUPID!!'

". . .ya bastard! Go back ta your machines, ya computa geek!!!" Joey yelled in Seto's face as he shoved his finger at the Kaiba's nose.

Seto did the same, glaring down at him hard, "As soon as you go back to nursery school, baby blondie!!!!"

"I dun know how ANYONE can stand ya!!! You're a sleazy, rich, and snobby jerk!!!!!!"

"Oh look who's talking!! You like to snuggle up to Barney and Telatubies at night!!!"

"Prove it, Ken the Barbie Doll!!!"

"It's a fact, Jackass!!!"

"You friggin' slim ball!!! Take that back!!!" Joey growled as he bared his fists, a large vein popping out with a lot more little ones as he started to advance on Seto.

"Hmph, make me." Kaiba smirked.

"Oh I'll REALLY make ya, you fu - "

****SPLAT****

All went silent as everyone looked up.

Joey and Seto blinked a few times in surprise as a mix of food covered both their faces and slowly slide down in a heavy glob of liquid goop onto their clothes.

There was a long period of silence as everyone stared.

After recovering, Seto and Joey both clenched their fists as their eyes blazed at Tristen, who had his hand still in the air, "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!?!"

****SPLAT!!****

". . ." They two boys stared for a while, feeling the milk drip down before fire and daggers burned in their eyes, "Now what was THAT FOR?!?!?!?!?!?"

Mai was up in a flash and glare down harder then anyone could at Joey and Seto with her hands on her hips, large veins popping out on her head, "LOOK!!! JUST SETTLE DOWN AND SHUT THE HELL UP BEFORE I DRAG YOU UP OUT OF YOUR SEATS, WACK BOTH OF YOUR HEADS WITH ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING I CAN FIND, THEN DRAG YOU BY YOUR HAIR DOWN TO THE CARGO BAY, FIND THE SMALLEST SUIT CASE, EVEN A COIN PURSE IF I HAVE TO AND STUFF YOU BOTH IN TOGETHER!!!!!! AND I WON'T HESITATE IF I HAVE TO BREAK ALL YOUR BONES!!!!!!!!"

Joey and Seto suddenly shrunk in fear. When Mai Valentine was on a rampage, better do what she say!

"Yes, ma'am!" Both squeaked highly.

"That's better." And with that, she turned and walked back to her seat.

"Thanks, Mai." Tristen said with a grin as he began to settle in his seat comfortably.

"No prob." She replied with a smirk of her own as she gave him a thumbs up before sitting down again, this time, getting comfy to sleep.

Everyone but Joey and Seto let out a long sigh of relief and began to slowly rest themselves.

Joey glanced at Seto with a small glare,

". . .It's all your fault, ya know."

"Get real. It was you, stupid." Seto countered with a glare of his own.

"No. You."

"No. You."

"You."

"You."

"You."

"You."

"You."

"You."

"You!"

"You!"

"You!!"

"You!!"

"Y-!!!"

"SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

". . .yes, ma'am. . ."

~*~

Téa yawned behind a hand quietly , stretching her legs as she slowly began to wake up.

"Did you sleep well, Téa?" A young voice said beside her.

She blinked and looked to him, "Yugi?" Then she smiled a little, nodding slightly, "I think I did. With all this yelling, I'm surprised I could even shut my eyes."

"I know what you mean. Too bad they still hate each other." Yugi laughed a little nervously.

"It may seem that way, but deep down, they must really be friends." She replied as she looked out the window, knowing their plane ride will soon be at an end, and it only fed her excitement as she could see the water below them being lighted by the setting sun as they go back in time difference.

Yugi smiled softly, grateful for having a person like Téa as a close friend. She always seemed to be the voice behind it all. Without her, he probably wouldn't be there right now. She also cheers everyone on, giving hope and support whenever she can, listening to everyone else before herself,

". . .Thanks, Téa. . ." It slipped out of his mouth before he could even think.

"Huh?" She turned and looked at him in question, "What for?"

He blinked, realizing what he just said and turned his head away with a blush, "I. . .umm. . .well. . ."

'. . .he's at a loss for words!!' Téa thought as she smiled a little more and giggled, only to make young Yugi blush more,

"It's okay, Yugi. I do that myself sometimes."

Just then, the captain began to speak through the intercom on the plane,

"Good afternoon everyone. This is the Captain speaking. We will be arriving in Honolulu, Hawaii in just half an hour, so sit back and enjoy the view. Currently the time there is 6 o' clock p.m. and temperatures at a warm 73º F. So if you still haven't caught up on some sleep, be sure to try and relax now that it's nice a quiet. Until then, this is the Captain signing off. And thank you for flying with us. We hope to see you again."

Yugi then smiled at Téa, "We're almost there."

"Yeah! And you and the others can finally meet Hoshi!" She nodded, smiling like her childish self, making him laugh a little himself.

Two rows of seats down, Joey laid sprawled out over his seat, his feet apart and his arms to the side, one hand in a steaming mad Seto's face, whom was rudely awakened by a slap in the face while Joey slept heavily, notice the drool from the corner of his mouth as he grinned in his sleep with a loud snore every so often, ". . .mm. . .donuts!!!"

'. . .this is the most pathetic day of my life. . .can it get any worse?!'

~*~

A teen young woman at age 19 with blood auburn hair with natural black streaks in them, patiently waited at the gate of the airport as the plane began to port into a position to stop, her blue eyes brightly shined with it's silver flecks in them as she watched the passengers slowly unload. She looked down at the picture she held in her hand before scanning amongst the crowd, staying on the side so she wouldn't get runned over. She wore a lose plain blue T-shirt and faded blue jean pants and running shoes as she checked her watch.

Then she looked up at a sudden commotion at the very back of the whole line, colorful curses and shouts could be heard loud and clear before a female voice louder than the both of them resounded,

"HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU TO SHUT YOUR TRAP AND ACT LIKE CIVILIZED PEOPLE!!!!!! WE'RE HERE AND THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS SHUT UP FOR ONE DAY!!!!!"

". . .sorry, ma'am. . ."

The girl blinked before sweat dropping, '. . .what kind of idiots can they be?'

Then she spotted a blur of shoulder length brown hair and blue eyes and she looked down at the picture and back at the person before smiling and strolling over and tapping her on the shoulder,

"Excuse me. . .but are you Téa Gardner?"

Téa turned her head at her and blinked, "Yes. . .I am. How do you know my name?"

The girl breathed a sigh and smiled wider before standing straight, "Good. I was thinking you wasn't on this flight. Aloha! My name is Lillia, and I have been sent here to get you for Hoshi."

"Nice to meet you, Lillia." She replied back with a smile, her stomach jumping at her friend's name.

"Umm. . ." Lillia began as she looked to Joey and Seto, whom was starting another session of yelling and screaming, ". . .how many are with you?"

Téa followed her gaze and sweat dropped, "9. . .including me. . .and those two, unfortunately."

"Hey, Téa? I. . .oh." Ryou stopped his words and took notice of the new arrival. He smiled politely at Lillia, "Hello."

The auburn haired girl blinked and slightly bowed her head, smiling herself, "Hi."

"Oh, Lillia, this is Ryou Bakura. Ryou, this is Lillia." Téa introduced and the two shyly shook hands before their attention was focused at Joey and Seto again, who were now ready to grab at each other's throats.

"I, umm. . .maybe we should save the intros later, Téa. Let's get your things before Hoshi starts to worry. . .and before the security comes after us."

"And to prevent deaths!" Tristen put in, helping Mokuba hold Seto back while Serenity, Mai and Yugi tried to restrain Joey.

"Okay! Then. . .umm. . .let's get going, shall we?" Lillia said nervously.

'. . .great. Now we're stuck with a couple of hooligans. . .'

~*~

The radio softly played a Hawaiian lullaby as the van snaked onto the highway of Honolulu's web of roads and concrete, the Honolulu Airport slowly drifting behind them, the lights on top of the buildings a sharp color against the night fallen sky with the twinkle of silver stars.

With Lillia at the wheel, mostly everyone could relax as the music calmed the two savages in the back, and finally some dozed off.

". . .say, Lillia?" Téa began.

"Hmm?" The other girl listened beside her since Téa was in the passenger side.

"How old is Hoshi now?"

"Well. . .let's see. . ." Lillia went thoughtful for a while as they came to a stoplight, ". . .mm. . .13. . .yeah. She's 13 right now."

Téa blinked, "She's still 13?"

"Yeah. . .although, I'm not sure when her birthday is. She never said anything about it." The other girl nodded as she made a turn when the light turned green for her to do so.

"Hmm. . .as far as I can remember. . .it was some place during the summer time. . ."

Lillia nodded, "I'm guess around that time."

Téa then gazed out the window, "Honolulu's beautiful."

The blue silver speckled-eyed young woman just chuckled to herself as she drove on, her silver moon pendent faintly glowed with a light yellow aura beneath her shirt.

Yugi's eyes suddenly snapped open at a strange feeling surging through his body as he absently touched his Millennium Puzzle as he found himself gazing out at the window, watching the tall dark trees pass by with occasional spots of light dotting the ground below. But he wasn't really paying attention, his eyes a little blanked out and hollow as he tried to determine the sentimentality without alerting his other, but he found out anyway and spoke through their connection,

\\. . .what's wrong, abiou?\\

\. . .it's nothing, Yami. . .did I wake you?\ Yugi replied mentally.

\\Yes.\\

\Sorry.\

\\Abiou. . .is there something your not telling me?\\

\. . .no. Of course not.\ He lied.

\\Then why do I feel something strange stirring somewhere? Like. . .a power.\\

Yugi sighs, \Nothing gets past you, doesn't it Yami.\

\\When it comes to powers like these hidden ones concerns my full attention.\\

\Okay, so where do you think it is?\

\\If I knew, I would say. But this one is very faint. Which means that it must be trying to hide itself.\\

\So what should we do? We're suppose to be on vacation.\

\\Vacation or not, abiou, we must investigate and find out just what it is and why it's here. But, since it's hard to determine where it's coming from, we can only wait and keep an eye out. We don't know if it is here for a good, or a bad purpose.\\

Yugi nodded, \I understand, Yami. So I guess we're on another adventure.\

\\It looks that way. . .\\

The child then blinked at Yami's sudden trail of words, \Something bothering you, Yami?\

\\. . .no, nothing's wrong. But if the situation calls for it, I will tell you if needed.\\

\. . .hmm. . .alright, Yami. I won't pry, but you make me worried sometimes.\

Yami chuckled in the connection, \\I'm sorry, abiou.\\

\It's alright, Yami. We're almost there so I'll bring you out once we're clear of everything.\

And with that, the link was broken as they began to drive up the path to a tall small sized mansion with gates boarding up around the grassy property, a few lights were on in the windows with the porch light on for they're arrival.

As soon as the van came to a stop, slowly one by one sleepily filed out of the vehicle and got their bags before stepping in to the building.

"Wow." Tristen simply said in awe for everyone as they all looked around, the walls colored with a light blue color with a few paintings of flowers and landscapes decorating the walls.

Then Lillia stepped to Yugi, smiling a little down at him, "He can come out, you know."

Yugi blinked a few times in surprise, along with everyone else with the exceptions of Téa, "E-excuse me?"

Lillia's smile only grew wider as she giggled a bit and pointed to his puzzle, "He can come out. No one's here to stop and question you."

Yugi then trailed his eyes to Téa, receiving a nod from her, "Go ahead, Yugi."

Then there was a flash of white light that illuminated the room for a short while, and there stood beside young Yugi was his taller and more mature self, his dark purple violet eyes narrowed slightly at Lillia, "How did you know?"

"Hoshi told me." She replied.

"And who told her?"

"I did." Téa said as she adjusted her bags to they wouldn't slip from her grasp, "Since you were coming with us, and you probably wouldn't be able to stay in the puzzle for the whole trip, she might as well knew everything. I mean, we couldn't leave you out of this vacation after all."

"Don't worry! I didn't tell anyone. And I'm sure Hoshi didn't either." Lillia reassured. Then her eye caught Mokuba yawning behind a hand while his other held on to his older brother's then turned back to the group, "You guys must be tired. Follow me and I'll show you to your rooms and then you can all take a shower." She said before slowly walking up red carpeted stairs.

"Umm. . .but where's Hoshi?" Téa asked.

"She's not here right now. She's out somewhere on her own. Probably thinking." Lillia replied as she continued again.

"Oh. . ."

After that said, slowly, everyone trudged in tow after her, trying to stay awake for some. But a mysterious gaze of narrowed violet amethyst eyes watched her with suspiciousness dwelling within them.

Lillia then stops and points down a lighted hall with open doors, "You all can take your pick. Each one has a bathroom in the rooms and doors that connect with the one next to it so you can visit each other if you want. . .unless the person locks the door."

At that, Seto and Joey glared at each other before each found a room that they liked: The girls chose the rooms on the left side of the hall that faced the ocean. The first room was taken by Mai, then followed by Serenity, Téa, and the last is where Lillia stayed. The right side of the hall faced the mountains, and the occupants were as followed after Joey took the first room, then Tristen, Yugi, Yami, Ryou, Mokuba, and then finally, Seto.

"Okay. . .pretty much everyone is settled in. You all should rest now. I'm guessing the trip was not a very comfortable one." Lillia said from her door.

"You said a mouthful." Joey said aloud and everyone nodded.

"Thanks for getting us, Lillia." Téa said gratefully with a tired smile.

The older girl just smiled a little, "No problem. Introductions can be said tomorrow. . .as soon as Hoshi can get back here to greet you."

They all nodded in agreement and closed their doors to turn in for a well- rested night in so many hours.

~*~

The clock ticked quietly to the time of 11:37 p.m.

While everyone slept, one couldn't. Yami stood outside on the balcony of his room, his hands resting on the gray stone railings as his eyes slowly scanned the perimeter of the grounds with a careful gaze. The feeling of that faint power still bothered him from earlier. And with Lillia already knowing about him just made it a little more worse than it is. And it made him wonder if she also knew about the power of the Millennium Puzzle and the adventures they had with the run in with Pegasus. And a looming question still stood since the first time he set foot onto these grounds:

Where was the Hostess, the so-called Hoshi?

To Be Continued. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
