"Look! There is the border!" shouted Bakura as they saw a long line of cars.
"Do we have to wait in that line?" asked Teá looking apprehensive.
"I guess so." Bakura answered. Everyone groaned.
"Hey look at the bright side guys!" Joey said from the driver's seat as he slowed the car down and finally stopped at the very end of the huge line of cars waiting to cross over into Canada.
"WHAT bright side?!" Teá yelled.
"ICE CREAM!!!!!!!!" shouted Tristan who had caught sight of the truck doing a roaring trade along the side of the road.
"Don't you dare give Mokuba any more sugar!" everyone, except Mokuba, yelled. None on them had forgotten what is was like when Mokuba had been bouncing off the walls.
"What is your problem?" asked Mai who had not experienced the unbelievable sugar rush first hand. Everyone groaned again but cheered up ten minutes later when the ice cream truck came their way.
"Okay, orders! C'mon people he'll be here any minute and with this many of us I think it might take a while." after Joey finished speaking a clamor arose.
"Chocolate! Vanilla! Strawberry, no, chocolate chip, no, Mint! I want cookie dough. I want a sundae! I want an almond bar! I want three! I want sugar-free! Weirdo! Hey!" a fight involving slapping broke out between Mai and Tristan over the advantages/disadvantages of sugar-free ice cream.
When the truck came to them pandemonium had ensued. Kaiba was cradling his aching head in his hands while Mokuba was hopping up and down at the prospect of more sugar. Tristan and Mai were screaming at each other.
Bakura was constantly changing his mind about the flavor he wanted. Yugi was asking Serenity what she thought about a double scoop of bubblegum and pralines because he couldn't make up his mind, and she was telling him that sounded like a good idea and how she was going to get cookie dough. Teá was telling Tristan that sugarless ice cream was really good for you but she couldn't be heard over Mai's screams and Tristan's angry yells.
"IF YOU ALL CAN'T MAKE UP YOUR MINDS I'LL ORDER YOU ALL RAINBOW SORBET WITH SPRINKLES!" Joey yelled.
"I just want some cookie dough."
"Ewwwwwww." Tristan said, "SORBET!?"
"That sounds good!" said Teá and Mai, "NO fat!"
"JINX!" yelled Mokuba and Yugi. Serenity crawled up over the seats, and over the fights and past Mokuba who was singing a song about sugar until she came up between the front two seats.
"Hey, Sis." said Joey looking seriously annoyed that his threat had just resulted in more chaos.
"I want cookie dough."
"Bless you! Someone who can actually make up their mind!" Kaiba said to her, "By the way Wheeler I'll have chocolate."
"Okay and I want a triple scoop of cookies and cream, espresso flake, and Smarties ice cream. Smarties can only be found in Canada y'know!"
"That is so amazing Wheeler."
"Okay, we would like a single scoop of cookie dough, a single of chocolate and the triple." Joey said to the ice cream man.
"Will that be all, sir?" The ice cream man asked. Joey looked back the arguers.
"They'll never stop will they? And Bakura will never decide on a flavor and your brother and Yugi shouldn't have sugar, anyway. Yeah that's all." He and Kaiba paid the man and he drove off looking very exhausted. The car moved forward a bit in the line and Serenity stayed where she was and talked to her brother and Kaiba about the latest movies, and they all ate their ice cream.
************************************************************
"Okay, I think we are ready to order!" Tristan called out half an hour later, "You ready Joey?"
"Ummmmmmmmmm, no. The ice cream guy left half an hour ago. You didn't notice."
"WHAT!?" Everyone cried out.
"Sorry. He couldn't stick around. But look! We are nearly to the checking stand! Get your passports ready!" Everyone began rooting through their bags to find their passports. Kaiba pulled out his and Mokuba's from an organized inside pocket, Joey pulled his and Serenity's out from the glove compartment, one by one each of the passports was handed to Joey. He drove up to the window and handed the large stack to the woman at the gate. She looked through the windows at everyone.
"Hey are you the Yugi Muto who is the King of Games?!"
"Uh yeah."
"Cool! Can I have an autograph?" She handed him a random form and he signed.
"Hey do you want my autograph? Joey Wheeler- first runner up in the Duelist Kingdom!"
"Uh, I have never heard of you before." Joey sulked all the way through the inspection.
"She was pretty cute!" Tristan said after they had gone through.
"Yeah, yeah whatever." said Joey, still annoyed, "Hey! We are in Canada! COOL!"
"And it only took forty minutes! Yay!" Mai said, sarcasm dripping from her voice.
"HEY! Is this MY fault?! Who took three hours to get ready this morning, eh, eh!?"
"Hmmmm we must be in Canada! Wheeler has adjusted his accent again and is now saying 'eh'." Kaiba said laughing. Suddenly Teá screamed.
"There are EYES in that wood!"
"What?!" They all looked out into the forest they had been driving in for the past ten minutes as Joey slowed the car. After a while they saw antlers, big brown eyes and a furry nose poke out of the trees.
"It is a moose!" Serenity cried out joyfully. "Oh Joey! Can we keep it?" Just then the moose came fully out of the trees it was much bigger than the van and everyone gasped.
"Woah." Tristan said as the moose walked down the road in front of them. "That is waaaaaaaaayy freaky."
"No! It is sooooooo cute!" Serenity argued. The moose wandered around for a bit and then went back into the trees. Teá was still shaking with fright.
"Hey, that was enough excitement for one day!" Joey said, "Who wants to drive?" No one said anything. They all looked at the twisting road ahead of them. "No one?" Joey pleaded.
"I'll drive." Mai said lazily. Tristan closed his eyes and looked pained. Kaiba said,
"We are all going to die." "HEY! I am a GREAT driver!"
" You said you were a great duelist."
"Oh come on! It is either me or Joey!" They all thought about this choice, looking at Joey who was yawning and rubbing his eyes. He could fall asleep anywhere....
"Mai!" They all said as one.
"JINX!" Mokuba shouted, and was promptly hit on the head by Tristan who was sitting next to him.
"Hit my brother one more time Taylor...." said Kaiba, making his point by cracking his knuckles.
"I thought you would agree with me." Mai said smugly.
"Whatever. As long as I can sleep." Joey moaned, " So tired! Must Rest!" Everyone got out of the car and switched places. Joey was too tired to notice Serenity and Tristan sitting next to each other. Now Mai was in the front with Bakura in the passenger seat. Joey was sitting in the middle seat next to Yugi, who was sitting next to Teá who was sitting next to Kaiba. Tristan, Serenity, and Mokuba were in the back. Joey instantly fell asleep. Yugi began talking to Teá, and Kaiba stared out the window. Mokuba was really tired and went out like a light, as all the sugar in his system stopped making him hyper and he had a sugar crash. Bakura was telling Mai about Britain and she was not trying to hide how bored she was as the car climbed up the mountain. Tristan was flirting with Serenity and she was giggling quietly. Kaiba got out his laptop and began checking his finances. Teá began her backseat driving again.
"Mai! You are going way too fast!"
"Shut up! I know what I am doing!" Mai said to her. "Now which is the brake and which is the accelerator?" she thought to herself.
They finally got to the other side of the mountain and saw a sign saying a town was only sixty kilometers away. Just then Joey woke up. He stretched, hitting Yugi, Teá, and Kaiba on the head and yawned.
"Ahhhhh. How long have I been asleep, guys?"
"About half an hour, it is about time you woke up." Mai said. "Are we feeling better, Joseph?"
"Yeah. Thanks!" Mai rolled her eyes.
"We will stop in that town in an hour." she said. Kaiba looked up.
"You will only be going 36 miles per hour?" he asked.
"No! I am going sixty miles per hour. That is why it will take an hour to get there." Mai said sounding exasperated.
"That sign was in kilometers."
"So?"
"So, you have to convert it." Kaiba said sounding bored.
"They are close enough."
"Not really, Mai." Joey, to everyone's surprise said. Kaiba looked totally astonished.
"I suppose you know the conversion rate, Wheeler." he said scornfully.
"Hey I'm not totally stupid!" Joey yelled. "You have to multiply the number of kilometers by 0.6 to get the number of miles! Duh!" Everyone blinked.
"Joey don't tell me you were actually paying attention in class for once!" Tristan said, laughing.
"Yeah. I thought it would be useful when I went to Canada so I stayed awake." Joey said to him and then looked at Tristan for a minute.
"Hey man! What are you looking at?!" Tristan asked, looking very nervous as Joey's look of confusion turned to one of rage. Joey glared at him and then leapt into the back and tackled him. "Bro! OW! Lay off! What's your problem?!" Tristan yelled.
"WHAT DID I TELL YOU TRISTAN?" Joey yelled while punching Tristan on the head.
"How should I know? No one EVER listens to YOU!" Tristan gasped out while trying to get Joey to let go of his neck.
"Ok I'll repeat myself for your slow mind: STAY! AWAY! FROM! MY! SISTER!" He said while strangling Tristan. Yugi turned into Yami and jumped back to save Tristan from Joey's wrath, Mai stopped the car, Kaiba was cracking up, Teá was giving a friendship speck that no one could hear, Bakura was muttering 'Oh dear, oh dear!', Serenity was telling Joey to cut it out and Mokuba was still asleep. Tristan finally got Joey off his back with Yugi's help. Joey was glaring at him but had stopped trying to kill him.
"Can I keep driving now?" Mai asked.
"No." Joey said. "First there has to be a seating change. Kaiba you switch with Serenity."
"No. There is absolutely no way I will sit in the back with Tristan!" Kaiba protested.
"Fine. I'll drive and Bakura can sit in the back, and Mai can sit in the passenger seat, and Serenity will sit in my old seat." Joey announced. Everyone but Serenity, Tristan, and Bakura was fine with this so the switch began. Twenty minutes later everyone was in their proper place and Serenity, Tristan and Bakura were pouting. Joey began to drive and conversations began again.
