Yami: I still don't see how you can catch fish by throwing a piece of string into the water.

The gang was on their way to a pond for a nice.er.'relaxing'.fishing trip. Something Yami could not possibly blow up.

Tea: You didn't have to come.

Yami: (glaring at Tea) You try saying 'no' to that (he pointed at Yugi who grinned innocently) and besides, I'd be locked in the closet if I stayed at home.

Everyone burst out laughing (everyone but Yami) at this last statement.

Mai: (being the first to stop laughing) well, well.what did you blow up this time?

Yami muttered something that sounded suspiciously like 'refrigerator' before hastily changing the subject.

Seto: (who had been attempting to ignore everyone and everything, made difficult by the fact that mokuba had put a little too much sugar in his cereal that morning and was jumping up and down in the seat next to him while singing 'row, row, row, your boat' at the top of his voice, pointed silently at mokuba, who had just switched to singing 'my bonnie lies over the ocean')

Yami: Ahhh.

Yugi: ummm.Ryou.what's wrong with Bakura? He hasn't tried to argue with Yami this whole time.

This was true. Bakura had been sitting in a corner silently, glaring at whoever happened to look his way.

Ryou: Oh, him. He's fine, just a little mad. He didn't really want to come. I told him he had to though.

Yugi: (grinning) Or.

Ryou: (with a sly smile) Or I'd give Yami all his chocolate bars.

Everyone who had been listening shuddered. Bakura glared. Tea, Ryou, and Yugi began making plans for when they arrived. Joey and Tristan began arguing, Mai watching with an expression bordering nausea. Yami had found some Gummi Bears somewhere and joined mokuba in song. Seto made the wisest choice and ignored them all.

They arrived at the pond just in time; Yami and Bakura were glaring daggers at each other Mokuba was duct-taped to his seat with a piece over his mouth, Seto was in the exact same position but with a slight smile on his face, and Tea, Yugi, Ryou, and Mai were having trouble holding Joey and Tristan back.

Yugi grabbed his and Yami's poles and led Yami down to the water to explain how to fish.

Yugi: See? You grab the worm like this, pinch it in half, and put it on the hook like so.

Yami: (looking a little green) I.don't.think.

Yugi: What's wrong?

Yami: (quickly) I'm just gonna use cheese I think.

Yugi: (holding up a worm) You aren't AFRAID of the worms.are you?

Yami: Of course not!

Yugi: (giggling and holding the worm closer to Yami) You're afraid of worms!

Yami: (backing away a little quicker than necessary and turning slightly red) I AM NOT!

Yugi: (trying desperately not to laugh) Okay, okay.gosh.

Yami: (muttering more to himself than to Yugi) I am not afraid of worms.

Mokuba: What did you say Yami?

The others had joined them at last.

Yami: (turning red again and speaking a tad bit faster than he would probably have normally) Nothing! I didn't say anything and I am NOT afraid of worms!

Everyone: * blink, blink *

Joey: .Rrrriiiiggghhhtt.well lets get fishing!

Surprisingly only one fight broke out over places to fish and everyone was calmly sitting down and holding their poles within ½ an hour. Mai, Tea, and Mokuba took off their shoes and put their feet over the side of the dock, into the water.

Joey: Hey! Lookit dis! I got one! I got one! Ha ha! Beat dat!

It was a large perch. Mokuba immediately jumped up and ran over to it, followed closely by Yugi. The others hardly even looked up.

Mokuba: oh, wow! Can I touch it? Can I? Can I? Huuuuuuuhhhhhhh??

Yugi: That's a nice one Joey!

Joey: Yeah, aint it?

He began to walk slowly up behind Mai, but before he could even raise it up to drop it on her.

Mai: Joseph Wheeler, if one single drop of that fish water touches me, I'm going to be using you as bait.

Joeys face fell. Everyone snorted with laughter but the Yami's who continued to stare at their bobbers. Joey unhooked his fish and threw it back.

2 HOURS LATER

Mokuba caught 8 fish, Joey-4, Mai-6, Seto-2, Yugi and Ryou-5, and the Yami's-0.

Yugi: Ummm.Yami.maybe you should check your bait.

Yami: NO! MY BAIT IS JUST FINE!

Yugi: How do you-

Yami: I JUST KNOW, OK?!?

Yugi: Well.ok.

Mai: Well, somebody needs a nap.

Yami: SHUT-UP!

Ryou: (sensing a fight coming on and noticing he was beginning to get another little nibble) Hey, Yami! Come here.

Yami: (turns his head) WHAT DO YOU WA-

His sentence was cut off by the pole being ripped out of his hands and under the water. When it resurfaced, it was heading towards the middle of the pond.

Yami: Shoot.

Mai: Well, that was real smooth.

Tristan: Uh-oh.

Yugi: The pole!

Joey: Dat was some fish!

Bakura: (laughing too hard to say anything)

Mokuba: I'll get it!!

Seto: No you wont!!

Tea: Wow.

Ryou: Oh, my!

Joey and Tristan were assigned to walk around the pond and see if the pole washed up onto shore. (Mainly so that everyone else didn't have to listen to them anymore.) The others stayed on the dock and waited, Yami sulking on a far corner. Soon Joey and Tristan returned empty handed.

Tristan: We went all the way around the pond with no sign of it.

Mokuba: (running over and pulling on Yami's shirt while the others were trying to figure out what to do.) c'mon, Yami! Lets go get that fish!

Yami: What? Huh? How?

Mokuba pointed at a small paddleboat tied to the dock.

Yami: Ohhh, no!

Mokuba gave him his most cutest look. (And Yami thought Yugi's was bad.) I mean he had the lip quivering, the eye thing, and the tears all down pat. That was a face that could melt steel.

Yami: (trying to avoid 'the look') oh all right! All right! Just turn that thing off, will you?

Mokuba grinned then put a finger to his lips.

Mokuba: Ssshhhhh.come on.

They snuck over to the paddleboat, which wasn't that difficult as it was by now nightfall, climbed in, and pushed off. Mokuba figured out how to work it almost at once (which was lucky) and took over steering leaving Yami to simply paddling, which gave him plenty of time to explore the compartments (paddle boats do have a surprising number of compartments). This ended up being a good thing as he found a pair of flashlights in one of them. They went all the way around the pond once without any sign of the pole and ignoring the loud angry shouts from the dock (or, to be specific, from Seto). They were halfway around for a second time before they saw anything.

Mokuba: Look! There it is! (He pointed before steering the boat over to it.) You can get it out. I'm not sticking my hand in there.

Yami: That's real reassuring.

But he grabbed it all the same.and was almost pulled into the pond.

Mokuba: Yay! It's still on! Don't let it get in the propeller!

Yami: O.o That would be bloody.

He kept the waterlogged pole and the fish off to one side of the boat. Surprisingly the fish was still fighting. On their way back, they almost ran into a very large pole that some dolt had put in the middle of the pond to measure how deep it was.

Yami: What kinda dolt would put a pole in the middle of a pond?!?!?!

Mokuba unfortunately had not noticed this until it was too late. He had just enough time to turn the boat enough to miss it, but since the pole had to be kept to the side of the boat, Yami was forced to stand up and do a very unusual kind of stretch/bend that he would never have done under normal circumstances in order to get the rod over the pole while keeping the fish in the water. The fish was making this difficult because he apparently still had quite a bit of strength left.

Mokuba: Wow! It must be really big!

Yami: Oh, joy.

When they reached the dock, a very worried Tea, Ryou, and Yugi, a disappointed Bakura, an oblivious Joey and Tristan, an uninterested Mai, and a furious Seto greeted them.

Yami: We got it. ('IT' was a 1½ ft long catfish...and the hook was through the eye. This did not please Yami. Yugi unhooked it.)

Seto: (glaring at Yami.) YOU.YOU.IF.MOKUBA.ARGHHH!!!!!!

He ran over in an attempt to strangle Yami, who stepped aside, allowing Seto to take a nice 'refreshing' bath in the pond. Joey and Tristan almost fell in after him from laughing so hard.

Mokuba: Big brotheerrr.

Yugi: Uh-oh

Yami: Have a nice swim?

Mai: That looked like fun.

Tea: Ouch.

Ryou: Now, now guys.

Bakura: (totally oblivious of the commotion taking place behind him) Hey look! I caught one!

He holds up one of Seto's shoes grinning.
