The just last week birthday boy ran through the halls of the Seto Kaiba Mansion calling for his older brother, Seto Kaiba the busy business man .
"Seto! Setoooooooooooo!" Mokuba called, 'Where are you Seto?"
The one and only Seto Kaiba came out of one of the many doors. "Yes Mokuba?"
"Seto, it's Yugi's birthday in THREE days. Can we PLEASE throw him a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheeses?" Mokuba asked, smiling at his older brother.
"Mokuba," Seto began, pushing a bit of his hair behind his ear, and looking out the window that was there just so Seto could look out of it for dramatic effect, "You know we were banned in the Chuck E. Cheeses because Malik set fire to it and knocked down the tunnels."
"I know that," Mokuba replied, "But I did some research and found another Chuck E. Cheese. And the building has extra strength tunnels so Malik can't cut them down, so please?"
"How far away is it?" Seto replied immediately.
Mokuba looked down at the ground. "Only 65 miles away, Seto."
Seto sighed. "Mokuba, that is a long way away and -"
He was cut off by Mokuba, who was making the saddest puppy eyes. "Seto, we can pick them all up in our limo and take them there, please? Yugi is my friend and I want him to have a good birthday party."
"Very well," Seto relented. "You may call everyone you wish to and invite them to Yugi's party."
"Thank you so much, Seto!" Mokuba smiled and hugged his older brother happily. "I'm gonna go call everyone right now!"
Mokuba did just that. The next morning, Yugi, Yami, Ryou, Bakura, and Malik were on the front step of the Seto Kaiba Mansion and Seto had booked the Chuck E. Cheese restaurant out for the day.
"Happy birthday, Yugi," Ryou said as they waited for Seto to answer the door.
"Thanks," Yugi said, smiling.
"Same here," muttered Bakura.
"And here," Malik said. "My yami would be here, except he's busy terrorizing peasants in Byzantine."
"Oh. Of course," Yugi said, blinking.
At that moment, however, Seto Kaiba opened the door and the group went inside.
"Alright, everyone," Seto said, "As you know, we're going to a new Chuck E. Cheese today to celebrate Yugi's birthday. There is to be NO cutting down of the tunnels and/or destroying of the machines, alright?"
Malik sighed and nodded.
"Furthermore," Seto continued, "In interest of seeing how good people are at games, I will buy everyone 250 tokens. How you spend them is up to you, but the winner - the person with the most tickets - will get a special prize."
"Ya know you're just gonna lose," taunted Bakura.
"Shut up," replied Seto. "And everyone, get in the limo. We've got a short drive."
Everyone got into the limo. It was a VERY spacious limo, with room for all of them, and room to spare. Yugi and Yami were sitting in the front, facing the back, where Ryou, Bakura, and Malik were sitting. On the side sat Mokuba and Seto.
The ride itself was just over an hour. At the end of it, it was safe to say that no matter how spacious the limo is, you should never stick seven people in it, especially when many of those said seven people are rivals with at least one other person in the limo.
"Yami, what's that?" Yugi pointed as they got out of the limo.
Yami looked at where Yugi was pointing. He sweatdropped. "Yugi, that's a squirrel. . . drinking . . . a cup of pop with a straw."
"That's what I though," Yugi muttered, "But I was hoping I was wrong for once."
"Come on Yugi! Let's go inside! It's YOUR birthday!" Mokuba said happily, dragging Yugi inside.
"Arlight, everyone," Seto called for everyone's attention once they were inside. "Here are your tokens. Knock yourselves out." He threw the bags of tokens at them. Malik, Bakura, and Yami caught them perfectly. Yugi and Mokuba missed and Ryou's landed smack on top of his head. "I didn't mean literally," Seto added.
"Sorry," Ryou said softly.
"Don't worry about it," Bakura replied. He pulled the token bag off of Ryou's head. "Now, go and play your little games."
"Ummmm, of course. Right." Ryou said, and slowly walked off.
"Pizza and cake in an hour," Seto called out, even though it wasn't noisy at all.
Instantly Mokuba grabbed Ryou's and Yugi's hands.
"Wait, wait," Ryou said, "I gotta arrange Yugi's presents!"
"Thanks, Ryou," Yugi said, smiling.
"No problem."
So Mokuba waited somewhat patiently for a few minutes while Ryou finished arranging the presents, and then he grabbed Ryou's hand again and the three of them went to the games section to see what there was there. Just, as Yugi said, 'No Merry-Go-Round.'
"Ok, let's go into the tunnels right away then, ok?" Mokuba replied.
"Ok, why not?" shrugged Ryou.
"As long as we're safe from Malik," agreed Yugi. The three of them made their way up into the tunnels and just crawled around for a bit, finally peering out of a window to see Seto Kaiba stepping up to the console of a game that involved putting a token down a tube that would shoot the token at a moving scoreboard. If it got through the scoreboard, you'd get tickets.
"Practically impossible to lose at," Seto assured himself, and put his token in.
The token missed.
"Ok, ok, mostly impossible to lose."
The token missed.
"Three's a charm, right?"
The token missed.
Up in the tunnels, Yugi couldn't help but to laugh as Seto stormed away angrily, and then Yami went over, put a token in, and got fifty tickets.
"Geeze, I guess we can see who's going to win, hey, Yugi?" Ryou said, blinking in awe.
"Yeah, no kidding," Yugi replied.
They moved along in the tunnels until they came to another window, where they could see Malik going to a game console. He looked at it, shook his head, destroyed it, and moved on to the next console.
Repeat, repeat, repeat.
"I, erm, don't think there will be any games left at this rate," sighed Yugi. "We'd better get down and play some right away."
Mokuba nodded, "I agree. But can we go all the way around the tunnels? They're shaped like a circle so we'll get out in about the same amount of time."
"I guess so," Ryou agreed, and the three of them made their way around the tunnels. However, there was a branching tunnel that was bright green, and Ryou felt compelled to look. Yugi and Mokuba followed.
"I love the tunnels," Mokuba said happily.
"Why are we going this way?" Yugi asked.
Ryou shrugged. "We've got some time."
A new voice spoke up, "Too much time can be bad for you."
Yugi blinked. A thin blonde girl was sitting at the end of the tunnel, looking out the window. "Who are you?" Yugi asked.
"Ummm, well, I'm just sitting here. And watching Malik," The girl sighed happily. "You can just ignore me. But can I have some cake?"
Ryou blinked as well. This girl seemed to be insane.
"Well, if you want to know, my name is Mysty," the girl finally said, not taking her eyes off of Malik, and then she added very quietly, "And I'm just a self insert to drool over Malik."
"What was that?" Yugi asked politely.
"Nothing," replied Mysty immediately.
Ryou, Yugi and Mokuba exchanged glances, and then left quickly. In a hurry they all climbed out of the tunnels to find all of the games in the room in smoldering heaps on the floor. Seto seemed to be arguing with the manager of the place.
"Every single one! Look! Not a single game isn't destroyed!" yelled the manager, "Because of you and that blonde guy!"
Malik smirked, fingering his Millennium Rod appreciatively. "They sucked. I made it all better."
"Now I'll go out of business! GET OUT!" screeched the manager.
"Do get a hold on yourself," Seto said, with a bored edge to his voice. He pulled out a cellphone and punched in a number. "Yeah, this is Kaiba. I need a shipment of #3456a2. Immediately, if not sooner." He hung up. "Ok, give them a minute."
The manager looked at Seto suspiciously. "What did you order, and moreover, how will they know where to bring whatever you ordered?"
"I didn't order drugs or anything, geez! There are kids here!" Seto replied.
The manager glanced at Yugi and Mokuba. "Are they both celebrating their birthdays? Twins or something?"
Yugi sweatdropped and Mokuba forced himself to grin and not laugh at Yugi. "We're not brothers. We're celebrating Yugi's birthday."
"Which reminds me," The manager added, "You guys need to get out!"
Seto rolled his eyes, "They'll know where I am. The shipment will arrive in a bit. Let's go have cake while we wait, shall we?"
"That sounds like a good idea!" Ryou said quickly. Bakura and Malik nodded in the back.
"I wanna open my presents too," Yugi said to the manager, with his hopefullest smile, "And my friend arranged them all nice for me, so I don't want to move them and make him do it all over again."
The manager sighed. "Fine kid, you can have your cake and presents. But then you need to get out."
Yugi smiled brightly. "Thank you sir!"
The manager couldn't help but smile back. "You're welcome." He sighed and went back to his office. "You'd better clear out afterwards!" He yelled to Seto.
"Yeah, whatever," Seto replied, "Let's go eat cake and stuff."
They went into the dinning section of the place, and everyone sat down.
Since the waiters and waitresses had all left when Malik destroyed the machines, Seto went and picked up a few pizza's from the conveniently located pizza place next door. He also got sixteen liters of pop from the conveniently located convenience store next to the pizza place.
"Fizzy punch, sprite, coke, root beer, orange pop, mountain dew, lemonade, I got everything," Seto announced, and, well aware of Malik's addiction to fizzy punch, had gotten four liters of it. "And a bunch of pizza. So eat it."
They didn't need telling twice. Everyone ate the pizza and drank the pop. Before they brought out the cake, however, Yugi opened his presents.
Seto and Mokuba got him a new duel monsters card holder.
Ryou and Bakura got him two new shirts; one, a deep blue t-shirt with the words 'Dueler' in gold on the front, and the other a blood red shirt with black writing that said 'I might look little, but my friend will beat you up.'
Yami got his hikari a box of Japanese candy that included Ramune and pocky.
And Malik got Yugi a box of mild explosives, also known as dysfunctional fireworks.
"Gee, thanks, you guys," Yugi smiled, thanking each person. He put the wrapping paper (which he had ripped carefully off of each box) to the side and smiled at everyone in turn. The room seemed to be brighter just with his smiles. It was actually rather disturbing.
"Alright, alright, time for cake," Seto announced.
But just as he was about to get the cake out and cut it, there was a knock at the door, and several FedEx men came in, dragging several boxes with them.
"Oh, good, my order arrived," Seto said.
"What is it?" Yugi asked.
"You'll just have to wait and see," replied Seto.
The just last week birthday boy ran through the halls of the Seto Kaiba Mansion calling for his older brother, Seto Kaiba the busy business man .
