Author- Nothing to say, time for the fic.
DISCLAIMER- *just a reminder* Retaw does NOT own YGO or any of the YGO characters. She doesn't know if she doesn't own the MILLINUIM AMULET because they have so far made no mention to such a thing in the anime or TV series. She does however, own Caitlin.
Caitlin- That is very depressing.
Author- GET BACK TO WORK! *cracks the whip*
Caitlin- O.O *Yelps and starts writing next part of story*
Author- ^_^
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Caitlin sits down crossly on the floor of Tea's room. She takes out her school notebook and starts to write down math equations.
"Stupid math." She grumbled, "I lived perfectly well without it."
She put down the pencil and sighed, looking down at her un-finished work. At that moment, she decided it was better to make a list then do homework.
"CAITLIN'S TO DO LIST" She wrote in big fancy letters across the top.
Save Megan from Jail without getting caught Get item back from Mai. Keep the item a secret. Survive school. Run away to another city.
She stared at the last one for a few seconds. It was the only thing she could think of that would allow her to keep her item, but it came at a terrible price. Because she couldn't take the hit, someone else would, and she would be running away from the best life she had ever had! Running away from her new friends, her new education, a completely different road then the begging in dirty clothes and singing for money like she had to do before. And almost bad enough, shed be running away from her problems, something she'd never done before. Dare she do it?
"I don't know if I have much of a choice." She thought.
Then the doorknob turned and Caitlin shoved the paper under the bed so Tea wouldn't see it. She made up her mind to see Megan tomorrow and get her input. Megan was always better at solving problems then she was.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey Tea?"
"Hm?"
"What exactly is a dance?"
Tea looked at Caitlin for a while, it still amazed at how little she knew about regular living.
"Well, there's one this Friday and it's when you, go and you dance."
"Oh, hence the name 'Dance.'"
"Yeah. Why are you asking about it?"
"Because dudes keep asking me if I'm going and I didn't know what it was!"
Tea laughed, "Poor you."
"Yeah poor me! I didn't even KNOW who nine tenths of them were!"
"Oh, so you were paying attention in Math?"
Caitlin just rolled her eyes, "Yes Tea, I always pay attention."
"You do a pretty good job of hiding it." Joey teased, "It always looks like you're sleeping during class."
"You're not one to talk Joey." Tristen scoffed.
The bell rang and they all started to make their way to English.
"Stupid bell." Caitlin mumbled, "Why can't they just give us beepers?"
"Because beepers coast money." Tea said, stopping to adjust her shoes for a second.
"Bells coast money too! It's not like bells are fee and beepers aren't."
"I think the lines the principal is thinking is, first you give then beepers, then they'll want cell phones."
"I want a cell phone."
~~~~P.E LATER THAT DAY~~~~
"Caitlin! Show some hustle!" The coach shouted.
Caitlin panted as she ran from side of the court to the other trying to keep the ball from getting into her hoop and scoring. Their team was loosing by ten points.
*Basketball,* She thought, *Who's brilliant idea was that?*
"CAITLIN!" The coach shouted again, pointing at the ball that had been thrown to the player she was supposed to be guarding. She nodded and followed the player to her hoop-
Where he scored.
The coach blew her whistle and everyone gathered around her, it was impossible to breathe because everyone was sweating and Caitlin soon found out that not everyone wore deodorant.
"We're done." Coach said, "I'll see you tomorrow, and I'd like to see more hustle the next time."
Caitlin just smiled; she was planning to stay home from school sick the next day. Tea and Caitlin talked on their way to their lockers, mostly about basketball and how they didn't know how much hustle she wanted from them. Caitlin was reasonably happy, that is, until she saw who was in the locker room waiting for them.
"Well, well, was it YOU Caitlin that she was telling to hustle? Must be, seeing as it looks like you need the exercise. How long has it been since you got off you butt and did something?"
"Jennet? Is it your JOB to make my life miserable? Because you aren't doing very good, and STILL you walk yourself into a loosing battle."
"You may have taken SOME of my popularity, but not all. You're going to pay for what you did to me."
"Yeah yeah yeah, I know that part."
Jennet smirked, "I've got friends in high places Caitlin."
"Of coarse you do Jennet, compared to you, all your friends are in high places!"
"I'd like to know how many people have asked you to the dance? I've got thirteen."
"Twenty three. And most of them I don't know."
"You're lying."
"Whatever Jennet."
Jennet glared at her, then stuck her nose in the air and left. Caitlin two, Jennet zero, Caitlin smirked.
*I'll give her zero and a half for effort.*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Caitlin ran into the jailhouse later that day in a hurry, she told Tea she would be right back as soon as she finished doing something. Caitlin left so fast Tea couldn't ask what exactly she was doing and Caitlin was home free.
"Megan!" She yelled, running up to the cell, "Meg I need your-"
She stopped, Megan wasn't the only one in the cell. Zach, the brave and quick mouthed, was also there.
"Now I've got to save YOU too?!" She exclaimed.
Zach and Megan gave her a look that said, well-it's-your-own-fault.
"Why are you here?" She asked Zach.
"Duh, they said I was 'suspicious' and took me here."
Caitlin slapped her forehead, "Well, not I've got my work cut out for me don't I?"
"Where have you been!" Megan shouted at her.
"School. The dreaded abyss of torture."
Zach and Megan gaped at her, "You went to SCHOOL?!"
"Not my decision!" She shouted back, "It was a deal I made with a friend!"
"Fine, just tell me why you haven't gotten me out of here by now!"
"Two reasons, first- I needed an escape plan. Second- I don't have the item anymore and I need to steal it back before I can rescue you."
"Why do you need the item."
"The get away. I need to take the item with me when we escape and run away to a different city."
Megan nodded and Zach just stared, "You mean, you're just going to run away from everything you've made in Domino? All your friends and-"
"Look Zach, I know what I'm doing, and I don't like it. But I don't have any other choices! I knew I'd have to run away some time. I got myself into this mess, and I got YOU guys into this too! I'm not doing this for me, I'm doing it for you guys!"
"Caitlin." Zach just gaped.
"You guys are my friends, and I've lived with you guys forever, I'm not going to desert you just when things get tough."
There was silence and Caitlin then shook her head as if to forget the problems, "I've got a plan to get you guys out, and I've got to steal the item, but I've got that plan too."
"Thank you Caitlin." Megan said, smiling.
"If it all works out, I should have you guys out and free, and well be on the road again by Saturday."
"Saturday?" Megan said, almost in a shocked tone.
"Well, yeah. I was going to get the necklace from Mai on Friday and get you guys out that night."
"But Caitlin- this dude that captured us, Kiba, he's taking us to the next city Friday!"
Caitlin looked at them in disbelief, then pounded on the wall, "Why me?!"
"He's taking us so we can be questioned and such, Friday night."
A glimmer of hope, "Friday night?"
"Yeah."
Caitlin paused and closed her eyes, "I think I've got another plan."
"What?" Zach seemed surprised.
"I think I can get you out before Kiba gets here, but it will be risky."
"I'm willing to do anything to get outta this place!"
"Good. I'm going to try and work out the bugs and possibilities. I'll come back tomorrow with the plan so you're ready. You're going to be out of here in time for the dance."
"Why the dance?"
"I'll tell you tomorrow! Just wait, I have to get back to Tea now though I think she's waiting."
And with that she ran out of the jail. She wasn't happy about what she had to do, and it was going to be hard and untrustworthy. Not to mention it was going to seem unnecessary, key word is 'seem'. She was going to steal her item back from Mai.
Tonight.
