...Okay, the ending was bad... So I decided to give it a second part... and that's it. XD I mean it this time.
Anyway, massive "yo, thanks!" to Blue September & ObiWanGirl, who both quoted similar ideas... I figured that was better than Australia... no, think about it, it makes more sense than America... Until you talk about accents and climate, but I'm not touching that with a 10 foot pole; it'll put holes in my own theory. ^_^
Everyone else who reviewed but I'm too lazy to reply to: thanks! *heart*
Yea, the dub is supposed to be in American, but it just doesn't make sense there... And Sherry-chan... haha, in the TV was great! If I had been able to pull that off, I would have tried... but then there would have had to be more chapters about how traumatized everyone would be... and I'm already busy enough. :)
Watch for the "5 W's". They're all in here. Because I wrote this in school...
Anyway, this is cheesy, short, and sort of pointless... but at least it's a conclusion, right?
"What do you mean you don't know?" Joey yelled. "You said you did!"
Bakura shrugged and said snootily, "That's what you get for dragging a man out of the bathroom without offering any explanation." Insert pointed glare at Tristan. "You get led on."
Tristan glared back. "That wasn't very nice. This is important." He turned to Kaiba. "Shouldn't you know? You're an important businessman; you travel."
"Because I have nothing better to do than ask where I'm coming from, right?" Kaiba countered sarcastically.
Yugi whined, "Guys, don't fight. This is impossible. Maybe we're not meant to know…"
Tea shook her head and stared at her cell phone. "I've got it! The phone operator should know."
"Yea!" Duke agreed. Then he joked, "Who better to realize that than a chick?" For that he received piece of wadded paper to the head.
Tea dialed the operator. "Hello? Yea, I'd like to ask what continent we're on. …Oh. Really?"
"What?" Yugi demanded. "Where?"
"Why?" Kaiba added dryly.
"Who told you that?" Tea continued, ignoring the questions around her. "Yes, I'm sure that you can't question what he says… Really, it was that early? No, ma'am, I believe you. What choice do I have? It's either believe you or travel the world searching for the answer…"
Duke mused, "How? Bus? Train? Private jet?"
Everyone looked at Kaiba. "I don't have a jet," Kaiba told them exasperatedly. "I have a blimp."
"Freak," Bakura spat, and everyone moved their stares to him. "Any quazi-sinister half-bad guy had a private jet."
"Eh?" Joey looked confused.
"When did you develop a mean streak?" Tristan asked.
"I HAVE TO USE THE BATHROOM!"
Blink. "Go, man," Joey said.
"Thanks," Bakura responded, suddenly back to being kind as usual. He hurriedly left library. Tea ended her phone call.
"You guys won't believe this…" She stared at her phone for a minute, as though she was trying to recall what she had just learned.
"Well?" Kaiba asked, uncharacteristically impatient.
Tea pointed to a series of small, almost impossible-to-see white specks on the map. "There."
"Eh?" Joey said again, moving her finger and leaning close. He squinted. "That looks more like dust."
"Nope," Tea said proudly. "It's a small grouping of islands."
"What islands?"
"They don't have a name. Just 'a small group of islands'." Tea laughed nervously. "The operator tried to explain it to me: something about mice and computer experiments, but I wasn't really listening."
Kaiba twitched. "The best technology company in existence is in a place known as 'a small group of islands'?" He looked like he might have been in shock.
"So…" Yugi stared at the map. "That was disappointing."
"Yea," Joey continued. "It was kinda exciting trying to figure out where we live…"
"Only to learn we live on a totally lame group of nondescript islands," Duke finished. Tea started playing with her phone again; Kaiba looked traumatized; Yugi looked bored. Tristan wadded up the map and threw it at Joey's head; Joey was so startled that he fell out of his chair.
"So how did it go?" Bakura asked, returning from his much-needed bathroom break. "Did the operator know the answer."
"We live on Mouse Island or something," Yugi sighed. Kaiba twitched, his expression switching from traumatized to bitter.
"Huh?"
Tristan shook his head. "Don't think about it." Another moment of silence. "I'm bored; anyone up for burgers?"
"Yea!"
They all but ran out of the library, leaving Kaiba and the messy book-filled table behind them.
...no, for real this time.
note on the ending
admit it, you could just see the dub characters being all "okay, we're done!" and running off to do something else. ^_^
Also, I tried to pull of a "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" joke in there... but I don't think it came out. If you noticed, 10 points.
