Don't kill me for being late. Serious, serious problems to deal with.
Well, now they're dealt with and I bring to you the (hopefully) long
awaited 2nd chapter of the college years. This one may be boring, but it's
longer so that I can start getting to the good stuff. Oh boy *sighs*.
The 17-18 year-olds waited a year before college.

"C'mon, Bakura! We're definitely going to be late!"
"Just a sec!"
Bakura grabbed his wallet and a donut from the dining room table in his house. He had left nothing in his room but his Monster World display case. All the others had left their rooms equally empty, but had received one graduation gift each from their parents. Yugi had received a new hockey stick, Tèa had received a beautiful and rare writing pen, Tristan had received a set of his favorite graphic novels, and Joey had received a female pet Eclectus parrot, which he had with him inside of Bakura's gift, a new SUV. He was going to drive them to their college in the Tokyo outskirts. He scarfed the donut in two bites, and then jumped into the driver's seat of his new Silhouette.
"Let's blow this town!" he said, flooring the accelerator.
SCRREEE!!!
"Goodbye Domino City, hello University of Tokyo!!!" cried Yugi.
After they were on the freeway, Bakura slowed it down a notch. He and Yugi were the most careful drivers, so they decided to switch up on the nonstop trip when the other got tired. That way, it would only take 14 hours to get to their destination. Hopefully, they would reach the college before orientation.
"Okay, let's see here," Bakura said, pulling out a map of the area and putting it over the steering wheel. "We just go along this part of the freeway, then get onto the turnpike the rest of the way, finally exiting at exit 94, then we drive to the college."
"Uh, Bakura?" Yugi interrupted.
"Yeah?"
"Who's driving?"
"Well I am, of course," he replied, pulling down the map. A semi truck was headed directly towards them, honking frantically.
"YAAAAGHH!!"
Bakura swerved just in time.
"Heh. S-sorry."
He hit the button to start his CD player. Immediately, his favorite song began to play. It was that "Living Dead Girl" song by Rob Zombie. Though most people thought Bakura wasn't like his Yami, he did like some things quite similar and the creepy stuff he owned, like his occult deck, showed it. After all he had bought the cards, even if his Yami used them. Yugi gave him a noogie.
"It's our dark duelist, here."
"That's my screen name, too. DarkDuelist04."
"Mine's Gamrboi03, " Yugi said.
Tèa said hers was Dancer Duelist, Tristan's was Beefcake74, and Joey's was DobermanDuelist26.
At about twelve o'clock, Bakura stopped at IHOP.
"What'll you have?"
"I'll take a small stack of pancakes with eggs and sausage and an orange juice," Joey said.
"Same here," Tristan replied.
"I'll have the same minus the sausage," confirmed Yugi.
"I'd like the same too, but make the sausage bacon instead," Tèa
"And you, sir?" the waitress asked Bakura.
"Gimme a mocha latte. Make it a double," he said wearily.
"Coming up," the lady said.
"Bakura, you shouldn't miss a meal," Yugi said. If you want, I'll drive, too."
"Naw. I'm straight for a few more hours, I think."
Bakura wasn't just tired; he was depressed. He feared that even as a college freshman he would be bullied. Even with his friends, he still wasn't sure on his position.
"Hey Yuge," Joey said. "Me and Tristan are tryin' out for the College X games. We need at least one person and a back up. I was hopin' you'd be our other man and Bakura is the back up."
"We wouldn't mind, right Bakura?"
Bakura did mind a bit. He knew that he was better than Yugi. Oh, well.
"I dunno, Yugi."
"Yeah, I just remembered. Me and Bakura were going to try out for hockey."
"We were going to do it too," Tristan said. "But don't we want to rule?"
"We can try to do this," Bakura said. "Only try."
After they finished their meal, everyone piled back into the car.
"You sure you could hold up, Bakura?" asked Tèa.
"Uhm, oh yes. I'm fine."
Bakura only drove about 30 minutes before he passed the wheel off to Yugi. In a few minutes, he was snoring in the passenger seat.

"Wake up, sleeping beauty. We're almost there."
Tristan shook Bakura awake.
"Yawn. We're there?"
"Yuge says almost."
"Well, I've learned to trust Yuge well. Uh."
Bakura rubbed his eyes and sat up.
SCREEE!!!!
The brakes squeaked as Yugi made a sharp, two-wheeled turn.
"Ah! Yuge, you've gotten reckless, have you not?" Bakura cried.
"Sorry, I almost missed the turn Bakura."
Yugi parked near the main building. They all whipped out their skates, or skateboards in Joey's and Tristan's case. Joey once again made a comment on Yugi's height.
"Man, Yuge, you've gotten pretty athletic. And tall."
"Yup. Now when I transform, I don't get taller."
They had indeed missed orientation, but they still got all the necessary papers and junk.
"Look at this, it says we can have up to two people in a dorm room," Joey said. "That means me and Tristan can be in one, you and Bakura can be in one, and Tèa can have one to herself.
"There's no problem with that, right Yuge?" Bakura said, beaming.
They figured everything out with an hour left to spare before they decided they would turn in. in that time, they decided to make themselves known through skate skills. Joey gained much popularity with his handstand "Wheeler" wheelie. Bakura gained his popularity through his awesome grinds. They signed up for hockey, then decided to turn in. That was when Bakura's skate busted and he lost a wheel and bearing. He fell face first onto the grass as his skate turned.
"Yaaigh!!"
And that'll be about it. I'll try to get the 3rd chapter up as soon as possible. Maybe not tomorrow, since I have to find my written copy of the story, but perhaps sometime this week. And if you want to review this story, tell me if I should add an extra humor fic in it separately. Kinda like White Angel Chan does it. After all, she is my favorite author, as is my best friend who goes by the pen name of AyariChan02.
R&R por favor!!!
