Mr. Evil Squirrel: So, so, so. You had to cut the last chapter in half. This is what I have to say..Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
Yami: That's not very nice Mr. Evil Squirrel
Yugi's Angel: Hey, Yami's right!
Mr. Evil Squirrel: So. Hahahahahahahahaha
Yugi's Angel: If you don't stop being so mean to me I'll have Yami shave off your little fuzzy tail.
Mr. Evil Squirrel: Ha! I'd like to see you try. Remember, you don't own any of the characters from Yu-Gi-Oh! You DON'T own Yu-Gi-Oh! Muahahahahahaha
Yugi's Angel: Do you have to be so mean?
Mr. Evil Squirrel: .......yes......yes I do
A/N: wow, it has been yet another long time since I updated, but I think somewhere along the last time I updated and this time I was eaten by either my geometry book, plays of Sophocles book, or maybe my IPC book. I have been swimming in a pool of homework. So please forgive me. I did come up with a strategy that would allow me to update quicker.but I still have to test it. I'm babbling aren't I. Okay I'll shut up but one last thing. Thank you to all that have reviewed. Thank you very much. Now on with the chapter.
Important Note!!! In this chapter I said that area 51 is in Arizona ( which is the wrong location) I had no clue when I wrote this that it was really located in Nevada. Forgive my mistake.
Previously in Chapter 3
"We're saved!" I yelled. I pointed to the heavily guarded building. Fences went all around its perimeter, military trucks circled it. "Let's go in and see if anyone knows how to get back to the interstate." "Fine!" Seto snapped.
Chapter 4 - What More Can Go Wrong part 2 Ryou's POV
Seto turned the car onto the driveway. The building looked like a prison, to me at least, but who knows what it really was? All I care about is how to get back to the interstate. Any interstate, as long as it leads to California.
"Bakura, are you sure they would have directions to the interstate?" Seto questioned. "I'm positive!"
"Okay. This place freaks me out! It reminds me of Area 51 or a place like it."
"It reminds me of a big prison." I said.
"It reminds me of some kind of secrete military compound." Yami said.
Seto drove slowly toward the main building. There was no visible parking lot, so Seto stopped the car in the middle of a big cement platform. "Well," he said shakily, "everybody out." We got out. Yami and I walked casually toward some doors. Seto walked slowly with his hands and arms glued to the side of his body, he was walking kind of like a super skinny penguin would.
"Hey Seto? What's wrong with you?" Yami asked.
"Nothing's wrong, Yami. What makes you think that something is wrong? Nothing's wrong?" he said shakily.
"Of course something is wrong!" I blurted out. "Can't you see, Yami? Mr. Seto Kaiba, big, bad ass CEO, is afraid of the mean ol' scary building!"
"So!" He snapped.
"What's going to happen, Seto? Is the big bad building going to grow teeth and bite your head off?" Seto shrieked with fear.
"Ha!" Something cold grabbed my arm as I said that. 'Oh my God! The building is growing arms! It wants to take me away and eat me!' I shrieked like the girl I looked like. 'Hey, this girl's cloth is kinda comfortable. Ahhh.. I should wear this stuff more often!'
"Doctor, what species do you think it is?" a cold voice asked.
"Species! You have to be insane to consider this an ordinary earth species! This is clearly extraterrestrial, a stranger from an unknown universe."
"What do you mean doctor?"
"Look at the hair coloration, an abnormal shade of white. Look at that one, the one in the tight mini skirt; it has three different colors in its hair. Look at that."
"I see doctor. What should we do with them?"
"Why must you ask such a stupid question? We must take them to the laboratory for further studies!"
"Yes sir!" The assistant (or at least I think he is the assistant) began to pull me. I refused to move.
"NO! You'llnevergetmealive!" I yelled.
"Schultz! They speak an odd language!" the assistant yelled.
"Excellent! I'll call the laboratory head to get the machines ready. By the time we'll be done with them they would have been stripped down to their bare bones."
"Ah! No! Letmego!" I yelled.
"Doctor, it refuses to move! What should I do?"
"Ah, a brain of some kind. The other two tried to run but a sedation injection was administered."
"I don't think that a sedative will work on this one, doctor"
"Do what I would do then, bang him on the head with this" Doctor Schultz handed his assistant his neon green clipboard. Why does he have a neon green clipboard? Metallic pink would suit him so much better.
"Thank you, doctor."
"No! I yelled "I'll put a spell on you"
"He uses supernatural forces. Amazing!" Schultz commented. "Hurry now Mr. Lechuga, I can't wait to start running the tests!" he smirked.
"Yes sir" Lechuga said. He raised that green clipboard and BANG! Who knew that a person could pass out from a little tap on the head with a clipboard? Okay, so it wasn't that little. Okay, okay, it wasn't little. Okay, all I'll say is that he hit me hard enough to make me pass out. Happy?
A little while later..................
I opened my eyes slowly. I saw white. Did I die and go to heaven? I was laying on some kind of metal table. 'Hey, is it just me or is it a little drafty in here?'
"Hey, Bakura." Seto said to me. "You're looking good." he winked. Now what in the hell was that supposed to mean? I sat up. Holy shit!
"Ah!" I screamed. They had totally stripped me down! No cloth, none at all! "Hey, wait a second.why you looking Seto?" He shrugged. The door to the room opened. 'Oh no.'
"Lechuga! Restrain the specimen!" The damn lettuce man ran over to me and flipped me so I lay on my stomach. (A/n: I should have mentioned this a little earlier lechuga is the Spanish word for lettuce.)
"Doctor Schultz, I have the specimen ready for the first experiment."
"Good work Lechuga" Schultz said as he walked over to some metal drawers. He opened one of them and pulled out a long, thin, metal object. What the hell are they going to do?
"Lechuga, restrain his arms" he said as he walked around me.
"Hey Bakura, I really wish that I would have brought a camera."
"Ha, ha very funny, Seto. By any chance could, you please tell me what they are about to do?"
"You'll seen very soon or shall I say feel very soon"
"What?" I laid there in silence for a while and then... "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Pain and a hell of a lot of it, Dr. Freakystine just shoved that long, thin, metal stick up my ass! I'm going to be sore tomorrow, no doubt about it!
A few more painful experiment later.............
The room was the most depressing room you would ever see. Plain white walls, average size metal door, and a white teddy bear with the name Lechuga on it. I'm not even going to ask.
"So how were the experiments Bakura? Were they fun, fun, fun?"
"Yeah, they were 'fun, fun, fun.' All right lets see. I had a metal stick shoved up my ass, 3 inches of skin pulled off my arm, I had to run on a treadmill and recite the names of all the craters on the moon, they gave me a CAT scan. which reminds me, those two 'Doctors' said that my head is emptier than Bill Gates's coffee mug."
"Huh?" Seto and Yami said at the same time.
"You get the basic idea. They also called me a rock with white hair."
"Well, you know if you stand at this angle you kinda do look like a rock with white hair."
"Gee, thanks Seto. I feel special."
"I'm glad." The door opened. Dear God no! Please don't let it be the stupid goons! Damnit! It was them.
"Mini Lechuga" Schultz ran to the little white bear "Aww! I'm so sorry I left you here!" He began to cuddle the bear (and he calls us odd). He kissed it a few times and put it inside of his coat pocket. "Lechuga."
"Yes?"
"Prepare for the hypnotic test!" He walked towards me. "I want to hypnotize the rock with white hair."
"Very well." Lechuga left the room
"Now that we are all alone tell me. how did you get here? What planet do you come from? Who is your leader?" We just sat there....
Cricket, cricket, cricket
STOMP!
"Seto, what was that for?"
"It was making a noise." Yami and I glared at him. " What?!....it was!"
"Answer my questions you God damn cross-dressed aliens!" Schultz yelled. Yami stood up. He looked so serious, to the point of being admirable (minus the mini skirt and small tank top) "Oh, well, well, well you decided to comply with my demand." Yami still stood there. "So answer my questions!" Schultz yelled. Yami stepped up close to him. I had gained a new respect for the guy that is until he started to sing and dance to the Can Can. At that very second I had lost all that respect for him, all of it. Gone. Down the drain and shredded with the garbage disposal, yeah. Yami started to dance around in circles kicking higher than I knew a male was capable of. He hit Schultz a few times in the face and in a very unpleasant place for a guy when he made one of his low kicks. Seto just stared at him in shock; you really can't blame him though. When things were just about to get ugly- Schultz had grabbed a hammer from who knows where- Lechuga walked in with all he needed for the hypnotic experiment.
"Where would you like me to set this equipment Doctor?" "Right there on the floor." He replied while hiding the hammer behind his back.
"Yes Doctor." He put the equipment on the ground and began to set it up. While he was doing that, Schultz hid the hammer. I, on the other hand, was sitting on the floor watching Yami dance with an odd craving for a nice cup of Starbucks coffee. Lechuga got up off the floor and made it clear to Schultz that the equipment was all ready. Schultz walked over to me and dragged me till I was sitting in front of the equipment. Lechuga grabbed Yami and forced him to sit down next to Seto. I really don't want to go through with this. Schultz walked behind me and I attempted to get up and run- I remembered what happened to me last time he walked behind me- but Lechuga ran over and kept me down. Why? Schultz tied my hands behind my back and I sat there. The lights in the tiny room were turned off and the equipment was turned on. Lechuga used some thin metal rod, much like the one that has made my ass so sore, that had a tiny light at the end of it. He waved it back and forth and began and my eyes followed. Right, left, right, left..... I became entranced. Schultz began to interrogate.
"What planet are you from?" he barked.
"Earth!" I yelled back.
"Who is you leader?"
"The president."
"Why is your hair white?"
"Natural."
"How did you get here?"
"Car."
It kept on like this for what seemed to be an eternity. Some road trip we're having, or should I say some road trip I'm having. Doesn't it seem to be the best way to spend a summer vacation? Well, whatever. A while later the interrogation with the stick with a light was over. It's about time to! Seto and Yami had fallen asleep that's how long this little session was or was it just that boring? What ever the case was I'm just glad that it is over with. I yet again tried to get up, this time with my hands tied behind my back, and yet again Lechuga held me down. Schultz walked out of the room which could be a good thing or a bad thing. I sat there, Yami slept, and Seto was in the process of waking up. So interesting. Lechuga was taking apart the equipment that took him so long to set up. Schultz walked in happily leaving the door behind him wide open, not that it would do much for me in this situation. In his hand he held some kind of beaker with a clear fluid. He handed it to Lechuga. "Give him this." He said "I don't quite think his is telling the truth."
I shut my mouth tight but it was to no avail, Lechuga pinched my nose shut forcing me to open my mouth to draw in air. As I did that he poured the liquid into my mouth and forced me to swallow. I feel dizzy, la la la la la le le la la la la!
"Now tell me, alien. Tell me everything about yourself." Schultz yelled. I tried my best not to look at him, so I looked around the small room. Yami asleep, Seto completely awake, Lechuga looking real pissed off. "Well, start talking!" I hate to say this but I started talking and the worst part of it all was that all I said was the truth. NO!!!!!
"Well when I was five ................................................................ and then there was the time I got in a verbal fight with a teacher, I had d-hall for a week. Not my nature, I know, but when you had 2 hours of sleep you get a little touchy. Oh, have I mentioned that you look as if you need to drink more coffee in the morning? I like Seto. I also think that I'm being stalked by an evil squirrel ......................................................"
That little session was quite a lengthy one. Schultz reviewed almost everything I said while muttering some things to himself. Lechuga untied my hands and allowed me to sit against the wall were Seto and Yami were. Yami still slept. He sleeps through, anything doesn't he? Seto stared continually at the open door. I just sat there and watched Schultz and Lechuga argue about some of the things I said. Seto leaned over toward me and whispered in my ear.
"If we run now we might be able to make a run for it. Wake up Yami and tell him" I nodded and tapped him on the shoulder. Oddly enough he woke up. 'That was easy.' I told him the plan and we waited for Seto's okay. When the doctor and his assistant's fight got to the point were neither of them took their eyes off each other Seto signaled the okay. We got up and ran. Hey, I wonder if there is a draft in this place. As we ran toward the area where Seto thinks we came through- I was unconscious at the time- I realized something. I wasn't wearing the same cloth I came in with, unlike the other two. I was wearing one of those hospital gowns that have absolutely no backside. Ahhhhhhhh!!!!! This one had a big pink flower on the front and it was covered in lace. I can only wonder were they got such a hideous thing.
"That door." Called out Yami. "I remember it."
"Your point?" Seto yelled.
"We need to make a right at that door."
Lechuga and Schultz were running after us along with a bunch of their fellow employees. Each had a long tranquilizer gun in hand.
"We're being attacked with a phalanx!!!" I yelled.
"What the hell are you talking about, Bakura?" Seto asked.
"Phalanx, world history." As we kept running he gave me a blank look. "Never mind." We ran like hell and by the time we had made the right turn at the door my ass felt like a damn ice cube. We ran by a doctor who had a poor soul hostage. . Santa? I looked at him again. ... it's Santa Clause! We ran by him and he called out to us "Run, cross-dressed alien-people- things..RUN!" I guess that we took his advice because we kept on running. We ran down the hall until we saw a door.
"Is that it Yami?"
"Yep." We ran to the doors and out them. In the distance the car could be seen and right next to it was Santa's sleigh. Wow, I guess Santa really does exist. Schultz and his army were gaining on us. To be exact they were about four feet away from us. Now doesn't that just sound peachy? Peachy as a freshly baked peach pie. Now were did that thought come from..maybe that's just my stomach trying to tell me that if I don't feed it it'll try and eat me. We got to the car and jumped in at record speed. Just as I shut my door lettuce boy Lechuga came. Seto turned the car on and sped off. Schultz shouted something and held out mini Lechuga. I can only wonder why he has that bear and considering how creepy he is, I don't think I really want to know.
"Hey Bakura, what was up with that Schultz guy and that teddy bear?" Seto asked.
"Do any of us really want to know?" I am assuming he caught what I was implying because he asked no further questions. We drove down the lonely road that led us to Area 51 (aka.hell on earth). We were so lost.
"Hey Seto, are we lost again?"
"How about you take out your little handy dandy road map and tell me. You did claim to be the map master." I took out the map and looked, and looked, and looked some more. "Hey! How do I know where to look if I don't even know where we are?" Seto shrugged. "Some answer that is."
"How about we stop there and ask for directions?" Yami said while pointing to an old looking shack on the side of the road. "They might know how to get back on an interstate."
"Sure" Seto drove over to the shack and pulled over. A lady came to the window.
"Wanna buy a squirrel?" (a/n: yes, this idea came from Rat Race. Just to let ya'll know) the lady said.
"Ah no!" Snapped Seto. "We need directions to the interstate."
"And well who is this. What's you name?" she asked me.
"Bakura."
"Hey Bakura, would you like to buy a squirrel?" she turned around and started pointing to some of her squirrels. There was one with a pink tail and an attempted ponytail, there was one with a spiky tail and a cowboy outfit, and then there he was. My stalker.it was the evil squirrel. He was were the most adorable outfit of them all, a pink ballerina dress, some pink slippers, and a sparkly rose on top of its head. How cute but it looked as if it would kill me if it could. "Do you wanna buy that one?" she pointed to the evil one.
"Ma'am, all we want is directions to the interstate. Do you know where that is?" Seto was becoming very impatient.
"Course I do; I'm not a dumb ass like yourself, now am I?"
He became really pissed. His grip on the steering wheel became tight and his breathing became heavy. I guess that Seto really isn't a good person to insult. I had to do something because if I didn't, we would lose our only chance to get back to the interstate.
"Excuse my friend, ma'am; he is just having a panic attack of some kind. May you please tell us how to get to the interstate?" I put on a very sweet and sincere face. I think it worked because she smiled at me.
"Sure, I'll give you the directions but wouldn't you prefer me to give you the short cut directions?" all of our eyes widened.
"Please, we need to save all the time we can get!"
"Just follow these directions precisely. " I nodded. "Go north down this road 1.4 miles you'll see a sign saying Arizona Turtle Museum. Make a left and go down that ol' dirt road for exactly 2 miles, there'll be a sign telling you when it has been 2 miles. Make a left there and it should take you strait to the interstate."
"Thank you so much." Seto was about to drive away when she told us to wait. She handed Seto a paper bag that said: 'I love nuts' and the bag had a big heart on it. He glared at her and sped away. Seto drove down this road for exactly 1.4 miles and made a left at the turtle museum. As we passed the turtle museum we all looked at it with confusion. A turtle museum in the middle of nowhere, how very interesting. Seto continued to drive down the road until he saw the to mile marker. Ha, we are almost to the interstate and who knows how many hours we just knocked off. All I have to say is thank you Mrs. Squirrel lady, thank you so much. Seto made the next left turn and sped up the car.
"Seto, why are you speeding up?" I asked.
"So we can get to the interstate faster."
"I see."
Seto sped the car up some more. He looked happy; I guess it was because we were finally where we had to be. An odd feeling swept over Seto, Yami, and me. For some odd reason it felt as if there was nothing below the car as if it were flying. Seto's eyes grew wide with fear that caused me to look back and see if Yami had the same reaction. He did, am I always the last one to find out about things? I looked out my window and became horror struck. The car was falling down a cliff, oh dear. I checked my seat belt, just to make sure that I don't die on impact if anything I would like to die a few minutes after impact so that I'll know exactly how I died. The car crashed and Yami, who was too stunned to put his seat belt on, hit his head on the roof of the car.
Was I alive or dead? I opened my eyes and saw a bright light, it burned. I was in hell, wasn't I; what did I ever do? WHY! I was slapped across the face and I snapped out of whatever daze I was in. I was alive and Seto just slapped me, I have to remember to thank him later. I leaned forward and the car did to. I looked up and saw what used to be a red Corvette teetering above us. I leaned against the dashboard to get a better look. The Corvette fell right onto the hood of Seto's car. A skeleton lunged forward and in its bony ol' hand there was a bag that read: 'I love squirrels' and had a big red heart on it. We all screamed and ran out of the car. At the bottom of this cliff there were a countless numbers of wreaked cars; apparently nobody wanted to buy a squirrel. We walked away from what we considered the car graveyard.
We soon entered plain desert so we did all we could do and that was to just keep walking. We walked and walked, and walked, and then we walked some more. Seto and Yami began to run. What did they see that I didn't? I looked straight up ahead and I saw what looked like a Seven-Eleven and. and. the interstate? Was this a mirage or was it real? I decided to run behind Yami and Seto. We ran and it wasn't a mirage, it was real! That was a real Seven- Eleven and that was the real interstate. We crossed the interstate and walked into the Seven-Eleven. Seto bought three waters and three candy bars; at least it was something to eat. All of these events and yet I still ask the same question: What more can go wrong? Great, I think that I just jinxed my luck didn't I and if I just did I can't unjinx it because I do see any wood to knock on. We sat outside on the curb while eating our candy bar and drinking our water. I looked at the only car in the parking lot and it just reminded me that we had no car. How are we supposed to get anywhere?
I looked at Seto.
"Seto, how are we supposed to get to California before sundown without a car?" Seto just glanced at me and looked at the single car in the parking lot. What was he thinking? Yami was also staring at the car, I can only wonder what he was thinking. Seto got up and approached the car and Yami followed. They both worked together to open the hood and Seto, being as smart as he is, hotwired the car along with the keyless entry code. Yami jumped in the back and Seto yelled at me to get in quickly. I got up and ran in and Seto got in and peeled away. I looked in the passenger side mirror and saw that the clerk had a two-barrel pistol and was aiming it at the back tire.
"You'd better be speeding up Seto!" He took my advice and sped the car up. I cannot believe it. I am riding in a car that was stolen by Seto, who was aided by Yami. I just can't believe it. hey this car has a radio but I don't think that now is the time for music. The ride became quite peaceful after a while and it became real quiet to. I reached into my pocket and pulled out the crossword puzzle book that Seto had given me.
"Seto, do you have a pen?"
"Nope."
"Do you have one in you duffle bag?"
"Nope."
"But I am sure you had one in your bag."
"I hate to tell you this, but we left all of our things in the car." My face went expressionless at his words and Yami just let it go over his head. "We'll just have to get some new things later."
"Okay."
The car went silent again. I must admit it was a nice sized car with leather seats and some cool computer stuff, Yami looked up at the rearview mirror and mentioned about the built in electronic compass. Seto looked up at it. It said that we were going south, now when did we make a turn around? We continued on the same southward path for a while when we saw it. We had finally got back on track! It was interstate ten and Seto had found a way to get onto it.
"Hey guys we are back on track! Bakura, did you check the glove compartment for the pen you were looking for?"
"No."
"Well, go ahead and check" I opened the glove compartment and I found a sparkly, pink gel pen. Oh no, I wasn't about to do crossword puzzles with a pink, sparkly gel pen. I stared at it for a while and then came to the conclusion that it was better than sitting here in total silence, I have already done plenty of that. I opened my crossword puzzle book and began working on the ancient Egypt puzzle I had started a few days ago. Wow, it was great to know that we were finally back on the road we had to be on, now nothing can go wrong.hehehehehe. Time seemed to have flown by when I started working on the puzzles because when I had finally looked from my book Yami was dead asleep in the backseat and we had already entered the state of California.
"Seto, how much longer before we stop for the day."
"Well, according to the road sign Los Angeles is only one hundred twenty- five miles away."
"Is that the closest?"
"I don't know. Check the map. map master."
"I would but we have one problem." Seto's eyes widened "The map is in your car."
"Well then, I guess that Los Angeles is the closest because the other cities are around three hundred miles away."
I went back to my crossword puzzles. As I worked on the puzzle, Yami's atrocious snoring became even worse. How the hell is a person to think in such an environment!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!! At first it was tolerable but this is ridiculous! First of all how can a person sleep so much and second of all how can a single person snore so freakin' loud! I took off my shoe and sock; the snoring would end now. I turned around and climbed over to the backseat. Carefully, I raised my hand that held the sock, so that it was leveled with his mouth. I let him snore a couple of times but when he opened his mouth wide, so he could yawn, I shoved that nasty sock of mine in his mouth. There. no more snoring. I climbed back over to my seat and went back to my puzzles. I did here some odd sounds that sounded a lot like Yami spitting my sock out and falling back asleep, but that was probably just my imagination.
"Do you hear that Seto?" He gave me a confused look. "Hear what?"
"Exactly! I stopped Yami's snoring."
"That's a relief."
"Yep. I'm not only the map master, but I am also a genius." Seto rolled his eyes and went back to driving. Only now do I appreciate the wonderful silence.
SNORE!
What! How can he be snoring? I stopped it with the sock! I stopped it with a damn sock! I turned around and saw that the sock was missing. NOOOOO. "Hey genius, I thought that you stopped his snoring." I glared at him. "What?" I kept glaring. "You know glaring at me will do nothing, right?" I glared for a little while more just to annoy him some and then I went back to my puzzle. The snoring.it's so agitating! Note to self purchase some of those Breath Right strips.
"You look annoyed Bakura. You know what helps to tune out the snoring?"
"What?"
"To just ignore it."
"Gee, thanks for the advice." I went back to my puzzles yet again and the weird thing is that I actually took his advice but to make things even weirder his advice actually worked. The ride went smoothly and in no time we arrived in Los Angeles. Yay! Now the hard part came: to find a hotel for the night. Yes there are plenty of hotels, you would think there would be in such a large city, but to find on e with some vacant rooms was the problem. We went around and around till we found one. Seto booked the room but there was one tiny catch, there was only a single full size bed that would me two of us would share and one of us would sleep on the floor. Oh well, at least we had a room and for a fairly good price. Since we had nothing to unpack, we went straight from the hotel lobby to eat. Yami found a very nice sounding restaurant and Seto decided that we should eat there.
"Wow, everything sounds so good." Yami commented.
"Yes, it does." Seto added.
"Wow, everything is so expensive." I said.
"Don't worry Bakura. Sometimes you forget that you are traveling with the CEO. Do ya'll know what you're going to have?"
"Yes." Yami and I said.
Seto waved for the waiter to come and take our orders. A while later the orders came. I looked at my plate and saw that everything looked so delicious except for one thing. The thing that looked gross looked kind of like a fried frog. I picked it up by what I thought was to be the leg.
"Hey guys, what in the hell is this?" I waved the odd looking thing around.
"It looks like a deep fried frog." Seto said.
"I have to agree with him." Yami said.
My facial expression must have been an odd one because they gave me the strangest look I have ever seen, a look even weirder than the one Schultz gave the teddy bear named Lechuga. I looked down at the frog and saw that it's skull had been crack and ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww... It looked as if the brains of the tiny creature had been seeping out of that hole in its skull. Being me, I touched it and my assumption was right. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! I threw that thing as fast as I could without looking. I heard it hit something made of glass so I turned around to see exactly what I had hit. I went into shock. The stupid frog had landed in some old guy's wine glass and not only that but now the old guy had a big red wine stain on his white suite.
"Excuse me. I think I have to go hang myself." "Wow, that was a good dinner all except for when Bakura threw the frog into that guy's wine glass" Yami said.
"Ha ha, very funny. I thought that it would land on the floor not in a wine glass."
Seto walked in the hotel room and yawned. "I'm tired. What are the sleeping arrangements?" Yami and I looked at each other.
"Okay, I'm assuming you want me to come up with some right?"
"I'll sleep on the floor." I volunteered.
"Okay, that means that me and Yami take the bed."
I walk over to Seto and did the best I could to whisper into his ear. "I truly sympathize for you. You have to sleep by the snore machine. Well, nighty-night." I grabbed my pillow and a bath towel and made my little bed right beside the full size bed. Seto climbed in, who ended up being right beside me but just a little higher than me, and Yami got in right beside him. This was going to an interesting night. Seto turned off the lights and almost instantly I fell into a deep sleep.
A/N: I would like to make an apology to all. I am so sorry it has taken me sooooo long to update but a part of my new year's resolution is to make faster updates. With my new computer I think I can accomplish it. Now as for the fic goes I hope ya'll are liking it. This chapter was supposed to get real interesting with the new character I was going to add but I found out that Death Valley is somewhere near Nevada so that has to wait till next chapter (which I have to say is already in progress) so yeah that's enough of me talking. I always thank you for reading and I will be thankful, no doubt, for any reviews given.good ones, bad ones, or even nasty flames. Till next time....
Mr. Evil Squirrel: So, so, so. You had to cut the last chapter in half. This is what I have to say..Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
Yami: That's not very nice Mr. Evil Squirrel
Yugi's Angel: Hey, Yami's right!
Mr. Evil Squirrel: So. Hahahahahahahahaha
Yugi's Angel: If you don't stop being so mean to me I'll have Yami shave off your little fuzzy tail.
Mr. Evil Squirrel: Ha! I'd like to see you try. Remember, you don't own any of the characters from Yu-Gi-Oh! You DON'T own Yu-Gi-Oh! Muahahahahahaha
Yugi's Angel: Do you have to be so mean?
Mr. Evil Squirrel: .......yes......yes I do
A/N: wow, it has been yet another long time since I updated, but I think somewhere along the last time I updated and this time I was eaten by either my geometry book, plays of Sophocles book, or maybe my IPC book. I have been swimming in a pool of homework. So please forgive me. I did come up with a strategy that would allow me to update quicker.but I still have to test it. I'm babbling aren't I. Okay I'll shut up but one last thing. Thank you to all that have reviewed. Thank you very much. Now on with the chapter.
Important Note!!! In this chapter I said that area 51 is in Arizona ( which is the wrong location) I had no clue when I wrote this that it was really located in Nevada. Forgive my mistake.
Previously in Chapter 3
"We're saved!" I yelled. I pointed to the heavily guarded building. Fences went all around its perimeter, military trucks circled it. "Let's go in and see if anyone knows how to get back to the interstate." "Fine!" Seto snapped.
Chapter 4 - What More Can Go Wrong part 2 Ryou's POV
Seto turned the car onto the driveway. The building looked like a prison, to me at least, but who knows what it really was? All I care about is how to get back to the interstate. Any interstate, as long as it leads to California.
"Bakura, are you sure they would have directions to the interstate?" Seto questioned. "I'm positive!"
"Okay. This place freaks me out! It reminds me of Area 51 or a place like it."
"It reminds me of a big prison." I said.
"It reminds me of some kind of secrete military compound." Yami said.
Seto drove slowly toward the main building. There was no visible parking lot, so Seto stopped the car in the middle of a big cement platform. "Well," he said shakily, "everybody out." We got out. Yami and I walked casually toward some doors. Seto walked slowly with his hands and arms glued to the side of his body, he was walking kind of like a super skinny penguin would.
"Hey Seto? What's wrong with you?" Yami asked.
"Nothing's wrong, Yami. What makes you think that something is wrong? Nothing's wrong?" he said shakily.
"Of course something is wrong!" I blurted out. "Can't you see, Yami? Mr. Seto Kaiba, big, bad ass CEO, is afraid of the mean ol' scary building!"
"So!" He snapped.
"What's going to happen, Seto? Is the big bad building going to grow teeth and bite your head off?" Seto shrieked with fear.
"Ha!" Something cold grabbed my arm as I said that. 'Oh my God! The building is growing arms! It wants to take me away and eat me!' I shrieked like the girl I looked like. 'Hey, this girl's cloth is kinda comfortable. Ahhh.. I should wear this stuff more often!'
"Doctor, what species do you think it is?" a cold voice asked.
"Species! You have to be insane to consider this an ordinary earth species! This is clearly extraterrestrial, a stranger from an unknown universe."
"What do you mean doctor?"
"Look at the hair coloration, an abnormal shade of white. Look at that one, the one in the tight mini skirt; it has three different colors in its hair. Look at that."
"I see doctor. What should we do with them?"
"Why must you ask such a stupid question? We must take them to the laboratory for further studies!"
"Yes sir!" The assistant (or at least I think he is the assistant) began to pull me. I refused to move.
"NO! You'llnevergetmealive!" I yelled.
"Schultz! They speak an odd language!" the assistant yelled.
"Excellent! I'll call the laboratory head to get the machines ready. By the time we'll be done with them they would have been stripped down to their bare bones."
"Ah! No! Letmego!" I yelled.
"Doctor, it refuses to move! What should I do?"
"Ah, a brain of some kind. The other two tried to run but a sedation injection was administered."
"I don't think that a sedative will work on this one, doctor"
"Do what I would do then, bang him on the head with this" Doctor Schultz handed his assistant his neon green clipboard. Why does he have a neon green clipboard? Metallic pink would suit him so much better.
"Thank you, doctor."
"No! I yelled "I'll put a spell on you"
"He uses supernatural forces. Amazing!" Schultz commented. "Hurry now Mr. Lechuga, I can't wait to start running the tests!" he smirked.
"Yes sir" Lechuga said. He raised that green clipboard and BANG! Who knew that a person could pass out from a little tap on the head with a clipboard? Okay, so it wasn't that little. Okay, okay, it wasn't little. Okay, all I'll say is that he hit me hard enough to make me pass out. Happy?
A little while later..................
I opened my eyes slowly. I saw white. Did I die and go to heaven? I was laying on some kind of metal table. 'Hey, is it just me or is it a little drafty in here?'
"Hey, Bakura." Seto said to me. "You're looking good." he winked. Now what in the hell was that supposed to mean? I sat up. Holy shit!
"Ah!" I screamed. They had totally stripped me down! No cloth, none at all! "Hey, wait a second.why you looking Seto?" He shrugged. The door to the room opened. 'Oh no.'
"Lechuga! Restrain the specimen!" The damn lettuce man ran over to me and flipped me so I lay on my stomach. (A/n: I should have mentioned this a little earlier lechuga is the Spanish word for lettuce.)
"Doctor Schultz, I have the specimen ready for the first experiment."
"Good work Lechuga" Schultz said as he walked over to some metal drawers. He opened one of them and pulled out a long, thin, metal object. What the hell are they going to do?
"Lechuga, restrain his arms" he said as he walked around me.
"Hey Bakura, I really wish that I would have brought a camera."
"Ha, ha very funny, Seto. By any chance could, you please tell me what they are about to do?"
"You'll seen very soon or shall I say feel very soon"
"What?" I laid there in silence for a while and then... "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Pain and a hell of a lot of it, Dr. Freakystine just shoved that long, thin, metal stick up my ass! I'm going to be sore tomorrow, no doubt about it!
A few more painful experiment later.............
The room was the most depressing room you would ever see. Plain white walls, average size metal door, and a white teddy bear with the name Lechuga on it. I'm not even going to ask.
"So how were the experiments Bakura? Were they fun, fun, fun?"
"Yeah, they were 'fun, fun, fun.' All right lets see. I had a metal stick shoved up my ass, 3 inches of skin pulled off my arm, I had to run on a treadmill and recite the names of all the craters on the moon, they gave me a CAT scan. which reminds me, those two 'Doctors' said that my head is emptier than Bill Gates's coffee mug."
"Huh?" Seto and Yami said at the same time.
"You get the basic idea. They also called me a rock with white hair."
"Well, you know if you stand at this angle you kinda do look like a rock with white hair."
"Gee, thanks Seto. I feel special."
"I'm glad." The door opened. Dear God no! Please don't let it be the stupid goons! Damnit! It was them.
"Mini Lechuga" Schultz ran to the little white bear "Aww! I'm so sorry I left you here!" He began to cuddle the bear (and he calls us odd). He kissed it a few times and put it inside of his coat pocket. "Lechuga."
"Yes?"
"Prepare for the hypnotic test!" He walked towards me. "I want to hypnotize the rock with white hair."
"Very well." Lechuga left the room
"Now that we are all alone tell me. how did you get here? What planet do you come from? Who is your leader?" We just sat there....
Cricket, cricket, cricket
STOMP!
"Seto, what was that for?"
"It was making a noise." Yami and I glared at him. " What?!....it was!"
"Answer my questions you God damn cross-dressed aliens!" Schultz yelled. Yami stood up. He looked so serious, to the point of being admirable (minus the mini skirt and small tank top) "Oh, well, well, well you decided to comply with my demand." Yami still stood there. "So answer my questions!" Schultz yelled. Yami stepped up close to him. I had gained a new respect for the guy that is until he started to sing and dance to the Can Can. At that very second I had lost all that respect for him, all of it. Gone. Down the drain and shredded with the garbage disposal, yeah. Yami started to dance around in circles kicking higher than I knew a male was capable of. He hit Schultz a few times in the face and in a very unpleasant place for a guy when he made one of his low kicks. Seto just stared at him in shock; you really can't blame him though. When things were just about to get ugly- Schultz had grabbed a hammer from who knows where- Lechuga walked in with all he needed for the hypnotic experiment.
"Where would you like me to set this equipment Doctor?" "Right there on the floor." He replied while hiding the hammer behind his back.
"Yes Doctor." He put the equipment on the ground and began to set it up. While he was doing that, Schultz hid the hammer. I, on the other hand, was sitting on the floor watching Yami dance with an odd craving for a nice cup of Starbucks coffee. Lechuga got up off the floor and made it clear to Schultz that the equipment was all ready. Schultz walked over to me and dragged me till I was sitting in front of the equipment. Lechuga grabbed Yami and forced him to sit down next to Seto. I really don't want to go through with this. Schultz walked behind me and I attempted to get up and run- I remembered what happened to me last time he walked behind me- but Lechuga ran over and kept me down. Why? Schultz tied my hands behind my back and I sat there. The lights in the tiny room were turned off and the equipment was turned on. Lechuga used some thin metal rod, much like the one that has made my ass so sore, that had a tiny light at the end of it. He waved it back and forth and began and my eyes followed. Right, left, right, left..... I became entranced. Schultz began to interrogate.
"What planet are you from?" he barked.
"Earth!" I yelled back.
"Who is you leader?"
"The president."
"Why is your hair white?"
"Natural."
"How did you get here?"
"Car."
It kept on like this for what seemed to be an eternity. Some road trip we're having, or should I say some road trip I'm having. Doesn't it seem to be the best way to spend a summer vacation? Well, whatever. A while later the interrogation with the stick with a light was over. It's about time to! Seto and Yami had fallen asleep that's how long this little session was or was it just that boring? What ever the case was I'm just glad that it is over with. I yet again tried to get up, this time with my hands tied behind my back, and yet again Lechuga held me down. Schultz walked out of the room which could be a good thing or a bad thing. I sat there, Yami slept, and Seto was in the process of waking up. So interesting. Lechuga was taking apart the equipment that took him so long to set up. Schultz walked in happily leaving the door behind him wide open, not that it would do much for me in this situation. In his hand he held some kind of beaker with a clear fluid. He handed it to Lechuga. "Give him this." He said "I don't quite think his is telling the truth."
I shut my mouth tight but it was to no avail, Lechuga pinched my nose shut forcing me to open my mouth to draw in air. As I did that he poured the liquid into my mouth and forced me to swallow. I feel dizzy, la la la la la le le la la la la!
"Now tell me, alien. Tell me everything about yourself." Schultz yelled. I tried my best not to look at him, so I looked around the small room. Yami asleep, Seto completely awake, Lechuga looking real pissed off. "Well, start talking!" I hate to say this but I started talking and the worst part of it all was that all I said was the truth. NO!!!!!
"Well when I was five ................................................................ and then there was the time I got in a verbal fight with a teacher, I had d-hall for a week. Not my nature, I know, but when you had 2 hours of sleep you get a little touchy. Oh, have I mentioned that you look as if you need to drink more coffee in the morning? I like Seto. I also think that I'm being stalked by an evil squirrel ......................................................"
That little session was quite a lengthy one. Schultz reviewed almost everything I said while muttering some things to himself. Lechuga untied my hands and allowed me to sit against the wall were Seto and Yami were. Yami still slept. He sleeps through, anything doesn't he? Seto stared continually at the open door. I just sat there and watched Schultz and Lechuga argue about some of the things I said. Seto leaned over toward me and whispered in my ear.
"If we run now we might be able to make a run for it. Wake up Yami and tell him" I nodded and tapped him on the shoulder. Oddly enough he woke up. 'That was easy.' I told him the plan and we waited for Seto's okay. When the doctor and his assistant's fight got to the point were neither of them took their eyes off each other Seto signaled the okay. We got up and ran. Hey, I wonder if there is a draft in this place. As we ran toward the area where Seto thinks we came through- I was unconscious at the time- I realized something. I wasn't wearing the same cloth I came in with, unlike the other two. I was wearing one of those hospital gowns that have absolutely no backside. Ahhhhhhhh!!!!! This one had a big pink flower on the front and it was covered in lace. I can only wonder were they got such a hideous thing.
"That door." Called out Yami. "I remember it."
"Your point?" Seto yelled.
"We need to make a right at that door."
Lechuga and Schultz were running after us along with a bunch of their fellow employees. Each had a long tranquilizer gun in hand.
"We're being attacked with a phalanx!!!" I yelled.
"What the hell are you talking about, Bakura?" Seto asked.
"Phalanx, world history." As we kept running he gave me a blank look. "Never mind." We ran like hell and by the time we had made the right turn at the door my ass felt like a damn ice cube. We ran by a doctor who had a poor soul hostage. . Santa? I looked at him again. ... it's Santa Clause! We ran by him and he called out to us "Run, cross-dressed alien-people- things..RUN!" I guess that we took his advice because we kept on running. We ran down the hall until we saw a door.
"Is that it Yami?"
"Yep." We ran to the doors and out them. In the distance the car could be seen and right next to it was Santa's sleigh. Wow, I guess Santa really does exist. Schultz and his army were gaining on us. To be exact they were about four feet away from us. Now doesn't that just sound peachy? Peachy as a freshly baked peach pie. Now were did that thought come from..maybe that's just my stomach trying to tell me that if I don't feed it it'll try and eat me. We got to the car and jumped in at record speed. Just as I shut my door lettuce boy Lechuga came. Seto turned the car on and sped off. Schultz shouted something and held out mini Lechuga. I can only wonder why he has that bear and considering how creepy he is, I don't think I really want to know.
"Hey Bakura, what was up with that Schultz guy and that teddy bear?" Seto asked.
"Do any of us really want to know?" I am assuming he caught what I was implying because he asked no further questions. We drove down the lonely road that led us to Area 51 (aka.hell on earth). We were so lost.
"Hey Seto, are we lost again?"
"How about you take out your little handy dandy road map and tell me. You did claim to be the map master." I took out the map and looked, and looked, and looked some more. "Hey! How do I know where to look if I don't even know where we are?" Seto shrugged. "Some answer that is."
"How about we stop there and ask for directions?" Yami said while pointing to an old looking shack on the side of the road. "They might know how to get back on an interstate."
"Sure" Seto drove over to the shack and pulled over. A lady came to the window.
"Wanna buy a squirrel?" (a/n: yes, this idea came from Rat Race. Just to let ya'll know) the lady said.
"Ah no!" Snapped Seto. "We need directions to the interstate."
"And well who is this. What's you name?" she asked me.
"Bakura."
"Hey Bakura, would you like to buy a squirrel?" she turned around and started pointing to some of her squirrels. There was one with a pink tail and an attempted ponytail, there was one with a spiky tail and a cowboy outfit, and then there he was. My stalker.it was the evil squirrel. He was were the most adorable outfit of them all, a pink ballerina dress, some pink slippers, and a sparkly rose on top of its head. How cute but it looked as if it would kill me if it could. "Do you wanna buy that one?" she pointed to the evil one.
"Ma'am, all we want is directions to the interstate. Do you know where that is?" Seto was becoming very impatient.
"Course I do; I'm not a dumb ass like yourself, now am I?"
He became really pissed. His grip on the steering wheel became tight and his breathing became heavy. I guess that Seto really isn't a good person to insult. I had to do something because if I didn't, we would lose our only chance to get back to the interstate.
"Excuse my friend, ma'am; he is just having a panic attack of some kind. May you please tell us how to get to the interstate?" I put on a very sweet and sincere face. I think it worked because she smiled at me.
"Sure, I'll give you the directions but wouldn't you prefer me to give you the short cut directions?" all of our eyes widened.
"Please, we need to save all the time we can get!"
"Just follow these directions precisely. " I nodded. "Go north down this road 1.4 miles you'll see a sign saying Arizona Turtle Museum. Make a left and go down that ol' dirt road for exactly 2 miles, there'll be a sign telling you when it has been 2 miles. Make a left there and it should take you strait to the interstate."
"Thank you so much." Seto was about to drive away when she told us to wait. She handed Seto a paper bag that said: 'I love nuts' and the bag had a big heart on it. He glared at her and sped away. Seto drove down this road for exactly 1.4 miles and made a left at the turtle museum. As we passed the turtle museum we all looked at it with confusion. A turtle museum in the middle of nowhere, how very interesting. Seto continued to drive down the road until he saw the to mile marker. Ha, we are almost to the interstate and who knows how many hours we just knocked off. All I have to say is thank you Mrs. Squirrel lady, thank you so much. Seto made the next left turn and sped up the car.
"Seto, why are you speeding up?" I asked.
"So we can get to the interstate faster."
"I see."
Seto sped the car up some more. He looked happy; I guess it was because we were finally where we had to be. An odd feeling swept over Seto, Yami, and me. For some odd reason it felt as if there was nothing below the car as if it were flying. Seto's eyes grew wide with fear that caused me to look back and see if Yami had the same reaction. He did, am I always the last one to find out about things? I looked out my window and became horror struck. The car was falling down a cliff, oh dear. I checked my seat belt, just to make sure that I don't die on impact if anything I would like to die a few minutes after impact so that I'll know exactly how I died. The car crashed and Yami, who was too stunned to put his seat belt on, hit his head on the roof of the car.
Was I alive or dead? I opened my eyes and saw a bright light, it burned. I was in hell, wasn't I; what did I ever do? WHY! I was slapped across the face and I snapped out of whatever daze I was in. I was alive and Seto just slapped me, I have to remember to thank him later. I leaned forward and the car did to. I looked up and saw what used to be a red Corvette teetering above us. I leaned against the dashboard to get a better look. The Corvette fell right onto the hood of Seto's car. A skeleton lunged forward and in its bony ol' hand there was a bag that read: 'I love squirrels' and had a big red heart on it. We all screamed and ran out of the car. At the bottom of this cliff there were a countless numbers of wreaked cars; apparently nobody wanted to buy a squirrel. We walked away from what we considered the car graveyard.
We soon entered plain desert so we did all we could do and that was to just keep walking. We walked and walked, and walked, and then we walked some more. Seto and Yami began to run. What did they see that I didn't? I looked straight up ahead and I saw what looked like a Seven-Eleven and. and. the interstate? Was this a mirage or was it real? I decided to run behind Yami and Seto. We ran and it wasn't a mirage, it was real! That was a real Seven- Eleven and that was the real interstate. We crossed the interstate and walked into the Seven-Eleven. Seto bought three waters and three candy bars; at least it was something to eat. All of these events and yet I still ask the same question: What more can go wrong? Great, I think that I just jinxed my luck didn't I and if I just did I can't unjinx it because I do see any wood to knock on. We sat outside on the curb while eating our candy bar and drinking our water. I looked at the only car in the parking lot and it just reminded me that we had no car. How are we supposed to get anywhere?
I looked at Seto.
"Seto, how are we supposed to get to California before sundown without a car?" Seto just glanced at me and looked at the single car in the parking lot. What was he thinking? Yami was also staring at the car, I can only wonder what he was thinking. Seto got up and approached the car and Yami followed. They both worked together to open the hood and Seto, being as smart as he is, hotwired the car along with the keyless entry code. Yami jumped in the back and Seto yelled at me to get in quickly. I got up and ran in and Seto got in and peeled away. I looked in the passenger side mirror and saw that the clerk had a two-barrel pistol and was aiming it at the back tire.
"You'd better be speeding up Seto!" He took my advice and sped the car up. I cannot believe it. I am riding in a car that was stolen by Seto, who was aided by Yami. I just can't believe it. hey this car has a radio but I don't think that now is the time for music. The ride became quite peaceful after a while and it became real quiet to. I reached into my pocket and pulled out the crossword puzzle book that Seto had given me.
"Seto, do you have a pen?"
"Nope."
"Do you have one in you duffle bag?"
"Nope."
"But I am sure you had one in your bag."
"I hate to tell you this, but we left all of our things in the car." My face went expressionless at his words and Yami just let it go over his head. "We'll just have to get some new things later."
"Okay."
The car went silent again. I must admit it was a nice sized car with leather seats and some cool computer stuff, Yami looked up at the rearview mirror and mentioned about the built in electronic compass. Seto looked up at it. It said that we were going south, now when did we make a turn around? We continued on the same southward path for a while when we saw it. We had finally got back on track! It was interstate ten and Seto had found a way to get onto it.
"Hey guys we are back on track! Bakura, did you check the glove compartment for the pen you were looking for?"
"No."
"Well, go ahead and check" I opened the glove compartment and I found a sparkly, pink gel pen. Oh no, I wasn't about to do crossword puzzles with a pink, sparkly gel pen. I stared at it for a while and then came to the conclusion that it was better than sitting here in total silence, I have already done plenty of that. I opened my crossword puzzle book and began working on the ancient Egypt puzzle I had started a few days ago. Wow, it was great to know that we were finally back on the road we had to be on, now nothing can go wrong.hehehehehe. Time seemed to have flown by when I started working on the puzzles because when I had finally looked from my book Yami was dead asleep in the backseat and we had already entered the state of California.
"Seto, how much longer before we stop for the day."
"Well, according to the road sign Los Angeles is only one hundred twenty- five miles away."
"Is that the closest?"
"I don't know. Check the map. map master."
"I would but we have one problem." Seto's eyes widened "The map is in your car."
"Well then, I guess that Los Angeles is the closest because the other cities are around three hundred miles away."
I went back to my crossword puzzles. As I worked on the puzzle, Yami's atrocious snoring became even worse. How the hell is a person to think in such an environment!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!! At first it was tolerable but this is ridiculous! First of all how can a person sleep so much and second of all how can a single person snore so freakin' loud! I took off my shoe and sock; the snoring would end now. I turned around and climbed over to the backseat. Carefully, I raised my hand that held the sock, so that it was leveled with his mouth. I let him snore a couple of times but when he opened his mouth wide, so he could yawn, I shoved that nasty sock of mine in his mouth. There. no more snoring. I climbed back over to my seat and went back to my puzzles. I did here some odd sounds that sounded a lot like Yami spitting my sock out and falling back asleep, but that was probably just my imagination.
"Do you hear that Seto?" He gave me a confused look. "Hear what?"
"Exactly! I stopped Yami's snoring."
"That's a relief."
"Yep. I'm not only the map master, but I am also a genius." Seto rolled his eyes and went back to driving. Only now do I appreciate the wonderful silence.
SNORE!
What! How can he be snoring? I stopped it with the sock! I stopped it with a damn sock! I turned around and saw that the sock was missing. NOOOOO. "Hey genius, I thought that you stopped his snoring." I glared at him. "What?" I kept glaring. "You know glaring at me will do nothing, right?" I glared for a little while more just to annoy him some and then I went back to my puzzle. The snoring.it's so agitating! Note to self purchase some of those Breath Right strips.
"You look annoyed Bakura. You know what helps to tune out the snoring?"
"What?"
"To just ignore it."
"Gee, thanks for the advice." I went back to my puzzles yet again and the weird thing is that I actually took his advice but to make things even weirder his advice actually worked. The ride went smoothly and in no time we arrived in Los Angeles. Yay! Now the hard part came: to find a hotel for the night. Yes there are plenty of hotels, you would think there would be in such a large city, but to find on e with some vacant rooms was the problem. We went around and around till we found one. Seto booked the room but there was one tiny catch, there was only a single full size bed that would me two of us would share and one of us would sleep on the floor. Oh well, at least we had a room and for a fairly good price. Since we had nothing to unpack, we went straight from the hotel lobby to eat. Yami found a very nice sounding restaurant and Seto decided that we should eat there.
"Wow, everything sounds so good." Yami commented.
"Yes, it does." Seto added.
"Wow, everything is so expensive." I said.
"Don't worry Bakura. Sometimes you forget that you are traveling with the CEO. Do ya'll know what you're going to have?"
"Yes." Yami and I said.
Seto waved for the waiter to come and take our orders. A while later the orders came. I looked at my plate and saw that everything looked so delicious except for one thing. The thing that looked gross looked kind of like a fried frog. I picked it up by what I thought was to be the leg.
"Hey guys, what in the hell is this?" I waved the odd looking thing around.
"It looks like a deep fried frog." Seto said.
"I have to agree with him." Yami said.
My facial expression must have been an odd one because they gave me the strangest look I have ever seen, a look even weirder than the one Schultz gave the teddy bear named Lechuga. I looked down at the frog and saw that it's skull had been crack and ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww... It looked as if the brains of the tiny creature had been seeping out of that hole in its skull. Being me, I touched it and my assumption was right. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! I threw that thing as fast as I could without looking. I heard it hit something made of glass so I turned around to see exactly what I had hit. I went into shock. The stupid frog had landed in some old guy's wine glass and not only that but now the old guy had a big red wine stain on his white suite.
"Excuse me. I think I have to go hang myself." "Wow, that was a good dinner all except for when Bakura threw the frog into that guy's wine glass" Yami said.
"Ha ha, very funny. I thought that it would land on the floor not in a wine glass."
Seto walked in the hotel room and yawned. "I'm tired. What are the sleeping arrangements?" Yami and I looked at each other.
"Okay, I'm assuming you want me to come up with some right?"
"I'll sleep on the floor." I volunteered.
"Okay, that means that me and Yami take the bed."
I walk over to Seto and did the best I could to whisper into his ear. "I truly sympathize for you. You have to sleep by the snore machine. Well, nighty-night." I grabbed my pillow and a bath towel and made my little bed right beside the full size bed. Seto climbed in, who ended up being right beside me but just a little higher than me, and Yami got in right beside him. This was going to an interesting night. Seto turned off the lights and almost instantly I fell into a deep sleep.
A/N: I would like to make an apology to all. I am so sorry it has taken me sooooo long to update but a part of my new year's resolution is to make faster updates. With my new computer I think I can accomplish it. Now as for the fic goes I hope ya'll are liking it. This chapter was supposed to get real interesting with the new character I was going to add but I found out that Death Valley is somewhere near Nevada so that has to wait till next chapter (which I have to say is already in progress) so yeah that's enough of me talking. I always thank you for reading and I will be thankful, no doubt, for any reviews given.good ones, bad ones, or even nasty flames. Till next time....
