PP: *Sigh* I'm really, really tired, but as I've been working on my website
rather than my stories for the last couple of weeks, I sort of feel an
obligation to write another chapter. Well, here goes nothing.
YPP: Thanks for the reviews people!
PP: Yeah, what she said. And she'll be hosting the rest of this fic. I'm going to go catch some Z's.
YPP: WOOHOO!!! All right! A whole chapter, all to myself!!!
PP: *Sleepily* You can invite Bakura-Kun. For that matter, bring him in next chapter, too. I'm going on vacation.
YPP: YAY!!! Thank you Phire-Chan!!!

Yugi's Voice: Previously, on Camp Flamethrower: What does Bakura have in mind? What's going to happen to the YGO guys? How will they survive under the deadly hand of the Tomb Robber??
Bakura: I resent that!!!
Yugi: *Sigh* Fine, the Extremely Hot and Handsome Tomb Robber.
Yami: ¬_¬
Bakura: Thank you.
Yugi: You're -
YPP: GET ON WITH THE SHOW!!!
Yugi + Bakura: Yes ma'am.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ryou soon realized with horror that he was no longer in charge of the situation. For some reason, Bakura had taken over 'redecorating' the Camp, and Ryou wasn't sure he liked it. He only hoped that nobody he knew would come to the camp.
As the arrangements dragged on, and the next Camp Session drew closer, Ryou's fear grew. What if, worse yet, all of his friends came to Camp? What would they say? Oh Ra, this can't be happening.
But it is, and little did our Cute Ryou know that his friends, all of them, were, indeed, coming to Camp...
~^*^~
"Wow! Isn't it great that all of us are going to the same Camp?" Tea exclaimed, hoisting her bag onto the bus. Incidentally, everyone who's going was someone they knew. Malik, Marik, Kaiba, Mokuba, Yugi, Yami, Joey, Tristan, herself, Mai, Serenity, Isis, Duke Devlin, Rebecca, and...
"PEGASUS??? CROQUET??? MR. MOTOU???" Joey yelled at the top of his lungs, jumping a foot into the air and startling his friends. It wasn't bad enough that Kaiba was coming, for god knows what reason. "What the heck are you doing here?" Yugi blushed and he started fidgeting with his fingers, not meeting Joey's eyes. Tristan gaped at the three adults, unable to say a word. Tea opened her mouth, perhaps to say something about how great it is that they have escorts, but was cut short by Yami, who had come to his Aibou's help.
"Mr. Motou has volunteered at Camp Bluemount..." He explained, saying the word Camp as though it was something exotic. Well, no wonder, since there were surely no camps in Egypt. But he didn't seem to like the concept. "So he will be one of our chaperones. As for Pegasus..." He shot the aforementioned man a death glare, which the white haired adult promptly proceeded to ignore completely.
"Oh Goody!" Pegasus exclaimed, clapping his hands together and totally oblivious of his surroundings, although not his companions. Croquet wiped some sweat off his forehead. "This is going to be so much fun, isn't it, Yugi-boy? Too bad Ryou-Chan isn't here." Yami glanced at Yugi, and they exchanged a knowing look. Pegasus obviously forgot about the items, and Bakura. This is great! But the man continued rambling. "Two weeks, with all of us together at camp, what a wonderful thing! And I'm sure all of us will enjoy ourselves immensely, won't we, Kaiba-boy?"
Kaiba winced at the mention of his name, and had to be restrained by Joey and Yami to stop him from killing Pegasus right there and then. Mokuba was cowering behind his big brother, for apparently these two were not aware of the fact that Pegasus no longer possesses the millennium Eye. Kaiba scoffed and turned his back on the man, head held high in an arrogant stance, apparently determined on ignoring everyone around him. Not before an announcement though.
"I just want you to know that I don't wish to have anything to do with any of you during the two weeks that I will be here. I will be requesting a private cabin for Mokuba and me, and you will abide by the PRIVATE part of the bargain if you know what's good for you. I'm only here because Mokuba happens to...have something I desire, and this is the price." He looked very sour at that moment, enough to curdle milk, and shot his brother a glare. "And I do not wish to be disturbed" He looked around challengingly, as though daring them to speak up. And sure enough, no one did.
Mokuba giggled and whispered to Yugi, just because he was closer his size, "Blackmail, that's what I have." Yugi laughed, but quickly stopped when Kaiba's gaze turned on him, as well. Yami moved to protect his Aibou, stepping on Joey's foot in the process, causing Malik and Marik to double over with laughter, and ending with Joey chasing both of them all around the bus.
So it was a very noisy, unhappy, and mixed group that set off towards Camp Bluemount, a two hour ride away from Domino City.
~^*^~
Joey was the first to jump off the bus. His sister had unlovingly deserted him, as had Tristan, so he'd been the one stuck sitting next to Tea. Two hours of uninterrupted friendship speeches was enough to drive anyone nuts. Right then, he would even have sat with Pegasus, but Tea held him by the arm and dragged him off to one side to talk about the importance of peace and love and friendship, amid hearty giggles at his predicament.
He stretched, yawned, and shouted "Camp Bluemount, here I come!!!" He marched forward, moving towards the gate. Yugi stuck his head out of the bus and peered at the big gate. It had recently been renovated, and he was happy to see that Duel Monsters were painted on the name. That's good. That meant there are going to be activities concerning the game.
But his eyes were caught by the actual lettering themselves. They widened, if possible, and he stepped off the bus, beckoning everyone else to come look at it. Of course, their first reaction was to admire the wonderful pictures of Duel Monsters Yugi had to yell twice before their attention fell on the writing.
Camp Flamethrower.
A hushed silence fell. Everyone looked at one another, unsure of what this forecasts. Then their eyes fell on Yugi, who looked genuinely worried. Malik shrugged and the babble broke out again, as though nothing had happened at all. Yugi's eyes became watery, and he sniffed a couple of times, an action that was not overlooked by Yami.
"Hikari, what's wrong?" He asked worriedly.
"It's the name...It's, it's...so..."
"Strange? Weird? Suspicious?" Yami suggested cautiously.
"WONDERFUL!" Yugi exclaimed and winked at Yami, grinning. Yami sighed. He had to get Yugi into Drama class, or whatever they called it. He needs a place to vent his actor talents. Yami certainly didn't want to be tricked by Yugi's skills the rest of his life. That's for fans.
Still talking loudly, the group moved towards the main cabin that seemed to be the mess hall. Joey pushed open the door, flashed a victory sign, and walked in, followed by his friends. They sat down at different tables, ever chattery. Even Tea was more bearable under these circumstances. Then a side door opened and they stopped chatting to look at whoever's coming out.
It sure wasn't who they expected.
Ryou and Bakura, followed by Mystical Elf and Change of Heart, all of whom had changed into camping clothing...yes, even the monsters. Behind them, two Silverfangs trotted, watched by the Celtic Guardian, who looked very self-conscious and kept fingering the strange khaki material he was wearing.
Worst of all, Bakura had a wolfish smirk on his face.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
YPP: That wasn't so bad! Gotta give my Hikari that!
Bakura: Why didn't she say that I was hot and handsome?
YPP: Because this is written from the other characters' views, and you don't want to be chased by, say, Pegasus, do you?
Bakura: *Shudder*
YPP: And stop being so vain. I liked you better when you were mean.
Bakura: *Sigh* FINALLY!!! Ryou dared me to be vain.
YPP: *Sweatdrop*
Bakura: *growl* Speak now, and die...
YPP: Maybe I'll get Ryou to help me next chapter instead...
Bakura: Fine by me.
YPP: No, wait, that'd be a reward, wouldn't it? Nope. You're stuck with me. I'll be using Millennium Authoress Power to take away your Ring AND the Eye for the next chapter.
Bakura: NOOO!!!!
YPP: AND I'll be ordering torture devices on Ebay.
Bakura: Why did Phire Phoenix ever say you could have her powers???
YPP: Thanks for the reviews people!
PP: Yeah, what she said. And she'll be hosting the rest of this fic. I'm going to go catch some Z's.
YPP: WOOHOO!!! All right! A whole chapter, all to myself!!!
