Tori the Hanyou: Well, here it is, Chapter 7! I'm so happy for having made
it this far. You guys who actually like this story will be glad to know
that I don't base my updates on how many reviews I get. Even if I only have
one review, I'll keep updating, cuz I know that there are people out there
who love to read stories, but just don't like to review them. I understand,
and that's why I'm not like that. Any who, enough with my chitchat, time to
get on with Chapter 7, Are We There Yet?

YuGiOh! Trapped in the Next Dimension
Chapter 7: Are We There Yet?
After Tea told Tristan about what happened, he insisted on going to see if Yugi was all right. Duke offered to take over driving so he could go see. He walked down the hallway, greatly hindered by Tea, who was telling him not to go in there, because he might disturb them.
"Well, if you gotta go see him that badly, don't open the door too fast, got it?" she said.
"Yeah, okay."
Tristan hurried down to Yugi's room. Remembering what Tea said, he quietly unlocked the door and pulled it open. He saw that that had been a good idea, because he noticed Yugi and Tori asleep on the couch inside. He walked up to them. Yugi seemed a little different, not in a bad way, but like something was gone, something that had been bothering him for a long time. He smiled, after hearing what Tea had told him, Yugi was really back to normal. He turned and left the room, closing the door quietly. He decided against locking them in, which would only make Yugi mad, and went to the boys' room to finish Terminator with Joey and Bakura (Bakura had finally decided to go back).
A few hours later, Tori stirred, opening her eyes. She vaguely remembered what just happened, and tried to sit up, finding Yugi's arms tightly encircled around her. She looked up into his sleeping face and smiled. She and Yugi may not have hit it off when they first met, but that was because of Riku. Now that he was gone, Tori felt that Yugi could now be normal, no more evil fits. She tried to pull out of Yugi's grip again. Yugi felt her struggle and woke up. Tori froze. She hadn't meant to wake him. She wanted to go see what her friends were doing. With any luck, they weren't bugging the boys. Yugi looked down at her.
"Where are you going?" he asked. Tori almost became scared again, but didn't sense any evil aura from Yugi, so she forgot it.
"I'm gonna go see my friends," she replied, "Can you let me up?"
"No," came the answer.
"Why not?"
"You're not fully recovered from what I did," he said, "my powers can have lasting effects on the people they hit. They drain the energy for at least twelve hours, unless the person gets enough sleep," he explained.
"Well, I don't care, I'm gonna . . ." Tori suddenly froze. Yugi had begun scratching the back of her neck, right underneath her ear. It released the extremely calming and happy feeling throughout her body, like she'd never worry again. She completely relaxed, allowing Yugi to keep her there, pulling her back down, resting her head under his chin again. She didn't care what he was doing, so long as the wonderful feeling didn't stop. Yugi looked down at her peaceful face as her eyes closed once more, and realized that there was a vibration coming out of her throat. She was purring. 'Wow,' thought Yugi, 'that trick I learned from Riku really works. She's purring like a kitten, and she's going right to sleep. I guess it's that Ligress, making her react like a cat to all of it.' The purring was soon replaced by soft, even breathing. Yugi realized she was asleep. He stopped scratching and wrapped the arm around her, dropping back off to sleep himself. Good thing he'd learned that, he didn't know if he would've had the energy to stop her. Of course, she wouldn't have had the energy to make it out the door.
Four hours later, Tea laughed as they finished Hanging Up, with the main characters Maddie, Georgia, and Eve having a flour fight in the kitchen. As the credits were rolling, Mai got up and did her imitation of Georgia freaking out over powder getting on her dress.
"This is Donna Karan!" she cried, doing an almost perfect imitation. Serenity followed up with Maddie's response, Maddie was mimicking Georgia.
"Oh, my god, Donna Karan!" The three girls rolled with laughter on the floor. Tea decided to imitate Eve, and grabbed a bowl of popcorn and started throwing it at the other two, who squealed and yelped, trying to dodge the popcorn. They wound up going into the boys' room, Serenity and Mai armed with bags of chips or cookies.
They continued throwing the food at each other, hitting the boys with it, too. The boys got up, except Bakura, evil smiles on their faces. Bakura went and traded off with Duke to drive, so he could watch Fast and the Furious in the DVD Player in the driver's cab, and Duke could join the food fight. The six of them were pegging each other with food, when Tea got an idea.
"Hey, you guys, why don't we wake the Sleeping Beauties and 'ask' them to join us?" suggested Tea. The others agreed that that was a perfectly marvelous idea. So they went into Yugi and Tori's room, covered from head to toe in cookie, chip and popcorn crumbs, along with covered in M&M's, Skittles, Spree, Smarties, and many other types of candy.
They snuck up on the unsuspecting couple and, all at once, each of them threw a handful of food at them. The two woke up, furious to be disturbed. But seeing the food fight, they joined in. Soon there was a whole food war going on. It was girls vs. boys, like usual.
**********
Tori hid behind a couch, armed with a huge bag of Skittles, ready to throw, an empty Twizzlers bag on her head, serving as a helmet, sort of. It was more for decoration. Tea hid behind another one, M&M's at the ready, an empty Smarties bag on her head. They weren't sure what became of the other two. Mai and Serenity had snuck out to check what was going on, when they'd been ambushed by Joey and Duke. The lights had been turned off in the entire truck, and it was nighttime, so it was hard to see in the pitch- blackness. The only light coming in was the eerie glow of the three-quarter moon outside. The girls were a little afraid to go check if they could make a break for it. Tea and Tori began an argument as to who should go out and check. Tea insisted that she should go, but Tori said that she had the best instincts, she could see if they were there without having to go very far. But Tea threatened to dump a can of soda on her, so Tori let her go see.
Tea silently crept toward the door; her handful of M&M's clutched tightly in her fist, turning her hand dots of different color (Don't you hate it when they do that?). She came to the door, and peeked around it. The hallway was empty. She continued out and down the hallway, not noticing the shadow creeping up behind her. She had almost made it to the front common room (they added that in before the food war. If one team could all make it to the common room, or make their opponents surrender, then that team would win) when Tristan tackled her from behind. She only had time to scream before he covered her mouth, and dragged her off to the compartment where they were keeping the prisoners. Tea saw the other two POW's, (prisoners of war) Mai and Serenity, being held by Joey and Duke, Joey keeping a close eye on Duke.
"Got another one," said Tristan, dragging Tea into the room and sitting down next to Joey and Mai. "Your turn," he said to the shadow in the corner. Yugi emerged, smirking. This would be fun.
Tori turned tail and dove back behind the couch after hearing Tea's scream. She sat silently, turning all of her senses towards the door, where she heard another person creeping up. A shadow slipped in the door in the darkness, and crept towards her. Tori was fully aware of it, and watched it carefully. Yugi's suddenly jumped out of the shadows at her, and out of shock Tori threw her Skittles at him and ran out the door, tearing down the hallway, being carefully pursued. She realized Yugi had stopped following her, and turned around to see where he'd gone. He'd vanished. She glanced curiously up and down the corridor, not seeing any sign of him. Before she could get the feeling she was being followed, Yugi had her arms in his hands. She struggled, snapping, biting at him, while he dragged her towards the compartment. He had her in the door, and wrestled her towards the seats when she began to go nuts, snarling and trying to tear at him with her teeth. Yugi realized it was becoming more than just a game then, and he quickly sat her down on the couch and scratched the back of her neck. To everyone's shock, Tori shut up, and curled up against Yugi's shoulder, purring. Yugi sighed.
"Phew, that was close," he said, "She almost went nuclear on me."
"That was one of the little 'tricks' you learned, wasn't it?" asked Joey, "You scratch the back of her neck, and she turns into a kitten!" He looked at Mai, apparently in thought.
"Don't even try it, Joey. I'm not half-cat, it won't work on me," said Mai.
"Or me!" said Serenity and Tea quickly as Duke and Tristan were about to try it.
"No, you guys, it won't work on them," said Yugi, "it's Tori's Ligress that makes her act like that." He stopped scratching, and stood up. He didn't notice that the purring had stopped, and Tori's eyes had opened, full of revenge. She glanced at the other girls, smiling. They got the message, and looked like nothing was happening.
Tori, quick as lightning, dove at Yugi, and held him against the wall with her claws, a can of whipped cream in her hands. While the boys were distracted, the other girls threw them off, and pinned them against the wall, cans of soda in their hands (don't ask me how they got them, use your imaginations). The boys finally surrendered, and there was much cheering from the girls.
"Yahoo! We beat the boys! We beat the boys!" came the chanting. The girls dashed out of the room as the boys got looks of revenge, and leaped at them. The girls made it into their room, and locked the door before the boys could open it. They sighed, and sat down on the couches. Tori glanced over at the door, and hoped that the boys didn't have anything to open the lock with. A black shadow appearing around the lock and turning it dashed her hopes quickly. In all of that, she'd forgotten about Yugi's powers!
"RUN!!" she screamed as the door opened. Tori was the only one who was ready, and she dashed past the boys with her super speed, but was followed by Yugi. When they reached their room, Yugi finally tackled her onto the couch, and locked the door behind him. Tori tried screaming for help, but she was soon silenced by the pleasant feeling spreading through her body again as Yugi scratched her neck. This time, he didn't stop scratching until her purring stopped, and he knew she was asleep. He then realized how tired he was, too. Tori curled up against him, sighing in her sleep. Yugi smiled, and fell asleep, too.
The next morning . . .
"WE'RE HEEEERRRRE!" screeched a voice throughout the truck, waking up every single person. Yugi jarred out of his sleep so fast, that he fell off the couch. In his struggle, he grabbed Tori to try to balance himself, but wound up pulling them both on the floor, Tori landing on top of him. Tori snapped awake, blushing when she saw the awkward position, and jumped off of Yugi quickly. He shook his head, sitting up.
"What the hell is she on?" he asked as he saw another hyperactive Tea bounce past the door.
"I'll go see," said Tori. Yugi fell back on the floor, pulling the blanket up and going back to sleep.
Soon, three girls on another sugar rush came shooting in the door.
"WAKE UP, YUGI!!!!! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! IT'S TIME TO HAVE BREAKFAST! LET'S GO!" they screamed. Yugi sat up angrily, growling at them.
"I'll ask this again, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ON????"
"WHAT ARE WE ON? WE'RE NOT ON ANYTHING, ARE WE, TEA?"
"NOPE, NOPE, NOTHING AT ALL, NOPE!"
Yugi got up off the floor as the Wired Threesome shot off for the common room. He walked in as they ran back out, going up and down the hallway, back and forth about a million times. Yugi didn't think he'd ever seen anyone run that fast before. Shaking his head, he went up to Joey.
"Morning, Yug. I just gave the girls coffee. Would you believe that they've never had it before? Yug? Why are you looking at me like that? Yug . . ."
He didn't get a chance to finish, Yugi had pounced on him and given him the worst beat-up of his life.
Satisfied, Yugi sat down to enjoy his breakfast, smiling at Joey's groaning form on the floor.
"Next time you wanna wake me up, do it yourself, and don't sic the Sugar- Rush Squad on me. Kapeesh?"
Joey's groan was enough of an answer for him.
Soon the girls had finished their coffee, and had run up and down the hallway enough to exhaust themselves before collapsing on the common room floor. Panting, they got up to have their own breakfast.
Tori felt like she had the worst headache of her life.
"Urrgh, now I know why I've never had coffee before," she said. Tea agreed.
"Yeah, last time I have any of that stuff."
"Makes you high," agreed Mai. Serenity came out of her room and came to eat her breakfast.
"Anyway, what were you screeching about this morning, Tea?"
"Oh, we're here," she replied.
"We're where?"
"At the beach, didn't you look out the window?"
Staring, Yugi got out of his chair and went over to his window. Sure enough, instead of forests, there was a broad expanse of sand stretching from the right to the left as far as could be seen. In front of them was another broad expanse of ocean, stretching out beyond the horizon.
"And don't forget the hotel!"
"What hotel?" asked Yugi.
"Right there," said Tea, pointing it out. Far to their left, a large building stood ten stories out of the sand, right on the beach. Beyond it were many buildings, lined up along the beach. Yugi stared.
"How can there be a hotel here? We're supposed to be the only people here!" he said. "Have you guys forgotten that we're in another dimension, not the real world?" The others sat, apparently in thought.
"Yeah, guess we did."
"How did all those other people get here, I wonder?" Tori piped up.
"Actually, I read something in the article that the guy who built this dimension linked it up with all the others that he knew. Apparently, other people have come here, too. Should we ask them if they're stuck here, too? If they're not, then they probably know how we can get out of here . . ." she said, her voice fading. Everyone looked down. They'd all forgotten about getting out of there.
"Let's not leave," said Tea.
"Yeah, we want to be here with you guys, we don't want to go," said Tori, walking over to Yugi and taking his hand. Yugi blushed as he looked down at their hands. The other girls smiled, and went to their guys.
"How about we just have fun here? The other people here seem to be having plenty of fun," said Mai.
Yugi looked up, and suddenly wished they were back in the secluded forest where they'd been before. There were lots of people there. Tori decided to be the brave one, and got out of the truck first. She walked up to the hotel. Everyone followed her, Tristan locked up the truck as they left. Tori went into the front lobby of the hotel, and looked around. Everyone there seemed to be having fun. Then Tori noticed something very peculiar.
"You guys, do you see something missing here?" she asked.
"What?" asked Tea.
"There aren't any adults here," she said quietly, "It's all teenagers, like us. There's not an adult to be seen." Tea glanced around, and her eyes widened.
"Wow, you're right, Tori, I don't see anyone over the age of 18 here," she said.
"Or anyone younger than 13," quoted Mai.
"I like this place!" said Tristan as he looked around, seeing all of the arcade games lining the lobby wall. They walked up to the front desk.
"Hey, like, you guys look kinda, like, lost. You new here?" came a very valley-girlish voice from behind the counter. A blonde head poked out from behind the counter. The girl had blue eyes, which were lined by, in Tori's opinion, far too much eyeliner and mascara.
"Um, yeah, we're new," said Tea, "You think . . ."
Mai nudged her.
"Let me handle this," she whispered. She turned to the girl. "Listen, hun, we need rooms, could you get us some?" she asked, getting back her rich girl attitude.
"Oh, yeah, like, sure," said the girl. She turned to the box behind her. "Which floor do you want, and how many rooms do you need?"
"Top floor, two adjoining rooms, with a porch overlooking the ocean on each one," said Mai flatly. The girl nodded, grabbing two sets of keys and tossing them to Mai. "Also, could you tell us what's with this place? All I see are teens, where're the adults?"
"Oh, we, like, don't do adults here," replied the girl, "If you want to go to Snoresville, it's about a hundred miles up the coast from here, and if you wanna go to the Kiddies' Corner, it's about a hundred miles in the other direction."
"Great!" said Mai, "We just wanted to know, thanks a lot, hun!"
"You're in rooms 176 A and B on the top floor," she said, "And don't forget, this entire place is free, so, like, have fun!" They went and got into the glass elevators that went up the floors, going past a huge room with a high ceiling full of party stuff, another one with an indoor plain (grassland), that seemed to go on forever, and yet another one with an indoor pool, with a bunch of guys playing water polo at one end, and other kids swimming at the other end. Soon, they were in the actual hotel rooms, continuing up.
Tea looked at the elevator buttons. The bottom one was a fuzzy pink one that said Lobby, the next was glittery with Party Room on it, the next was bright green with Field on it, Pool was shiny blue, and the room floors were all red. They reached the top floor finally. Tori walked out the door quickly, and headed to their rooms, unlocking room A with her key. She went in and sat down on one of the five double beds. The other girls soon came in, closing the door behind them, and opening the door between the two rooms so that the boys and girls could visit.
"I call this one!" Tori said, claiming the bed nearest the sliding glass doors that opened to the porches outside. Tea got the one next to her, and Mai after that, with Serenity closest to the door. The boys picked their beds, and came in to see the girls. Tori went out on the porch. She stared out at the immense view, and saw teens running around on the beach or swimming in the ocean. Far below the porch, there was a fenced-in cement area with another enormous pool. "Wow," she said as she continued to watch the rhythmic flow of the waves in the ocean, occasionally disturbed by some girl or boy playing ball, swimming, or surfing.
Tea walked up behind her, and took the view in with an, "Awesome!" Tori decided to go explore the hotel.
"I'll be back!" she called as she raced out the door and down to the elevators.

YuGiOh! Trapped in the Next Dimension
Chapter 7: Are We There Yet?
After Tea told Tristan about what happened, he insisted on going to see if Yugi was all right. Duke offered to take over driving so he could go see. He walked down the hallway, greatly hindered by Tea, who was telling him not to go in there, because he might disturb them.
"Well, if you gotta go see him that badly, don't open the door too fast, got it?" she said.
"Yeah, okay."
Tristan hurried down to Yugi's room. Remembering what Tea said, he quietly unlocked the door and pulled it open. He saw that that had been a good idea, because he noticed Yugi and Tori asleep on the couch inside. He walked up to them. Yugi seemed a little different, not in a bad way, but like something was gone, something that had been bothering him for a long time. He smiled, after hearing what Tea had told him, Yugi was really back to normal. He turned and left the room, closing the door quietly. He decided against locking them in, which would only make Yugi mad, and went to the boys' room to finish Terminator with Joey and Bakura (Bakura had finally decided to go back).
A few hours later, Tori stirred, opening her eyes. She vaguely remembered what just happened, and tried to sit up, finding Yugi's arms tightly encircled around her. She looked up into his sleeping face and smiled. She and Yugi may not have hit it off when they first met, but that was because of Riku. Now that he was gone, Tori felt that Yugi could now be normal, no more evil fits. She tried to pull out of Yugi's grip again. Yugi felt her struggle and woke up. Tori froze. She hadn't meant to wake him. She wanted to go see what her friends were doing. With any luck, they weren't bugging the boys. Yugi looked down at her.
"Where are you going?" he asked. Tori almost became scared again, but didn't sense any evil aura from Yugi, so she forgot it.
"I'm gonna go see my friends," she replied, "Can you let me up?"
"No," came the answer.
"Why not?"
"You're not fully recovered from what I did," he said, "my powers can have lasting effects on the people they hit. They drain the energy for at least twelve hours, unless the person gets enough sleep," he explained.
"Well, I don't care, I'm gonna . . ." Tori suddenly froze. Yugi had begun scratching the back of her neck, right underneath her ear. It released the extremely calming and happy feeling throughout her body, like she'd never worry again. She completely relaxed, allowing Yugi to keep her there, pulling her back down, resting her head under his chin again. She didn't care what he was doing, so long as the wonderful feeling didn't stop. Yugi looked down at her peaceful face as her eyes closed once more, and realized that there was a vibration coming out of her throat. She was purring. 'Wow,' thought Yugi, 'that trick I learned from Riku really works. She's purring like a kitten, and she's going right to sleep. I guess it's that Ligress, making her react like a cat to all of it.' The purring was soon replaced by soft, even breathing. Yugi realized she was asleep. He stopped scratching and wrapped the arm around her, dropping back off to sleep himself. Good thing he'd learned that, he didn't know if he would've had the energy to stop her. Of course, she wouldn't have had the energy to make it out the door.
Four hours later, Tea laughed as they finished Hanging Up, with the main characters Maddie, Georgia, and Eve having a flour fight in the kitchen. As the credits were rolling, Mai got up and did her imitation of Georgia freaking out over powder getting on her dress.
"This is Donna Karan!" she cried, doing an almost perfect imitation. Serenity followed up with Maddie's response, Maddie was mimicking Georgia.
"Oh, my god, Donna Karan!" The three girls rolled with laughter on the floor. Tea decided to imitate Eve, and grabbed a bowl of popcorn and started throwing it at the other two, who squealed and yelped, trying to dodge the popcorn. They wound up going into the boys' room, Serenity and Mai armed with bags of chips or cookies.
They continued throwing the food at each other, hitting the boys with it, too. The boys got up, except Bakura, evil smiles on their faces. Bakura went and traded off with Duke to drive, so he could watch Fast and the Furious in the DVD Player in the driver's cab, and Duke could join the food fight. The six of them were pegging each other with food, when Tea got an idea.
"Hey, you guys, why don't we wake the Sleeping Beauties and 'ask' them to join us?" suggested Tea. The others agreed that that was a perfectly marvelous idea. So they went into Yugi and Tori's room, covered from head to toe in cookie, chip and popcorn crumbs, along with covered in M&M's, Skittles, Spree, Smarties, and many other types of candy.
They snuck up on the unsuspecting couple and, all at once, each of them threw a handful of food at them. The two woke up, furious to be disturbed. But seeing the food fight, they joined in. Soon there was a whole food war going on. It was girls vs. boys, like usual.
**********
Tori hid behind a couch, armed with a huge bag of Skittles, ready to throw, an empty Twizzlers bag on her head, serving as a helmet, sort of. It was more for decoration. Tea hid behind another one, M&M's at the ready, an empty Smarties bag on her head. They weren't sure what became of the other two. Mai and Serenity had snuck out to check what was going on, when they'd been ambushed by Joey and Duke. The lights had been turned off in the entire truck, and it was nighttime, so it was hard to see in the pitch- blackness. The only light coming in was the eerie glow of the three-quarter moon outside. The girls were a little afraid to go check if they could make a break for it. Tea and Tori began an argument as to who should go out and check. Tea insisted that she should go, but Tori said that she had the best instincts, she could see if they were there without having to go very far. But Tea threatened to dump a can of soda on her, so Tori let her go see.
Tea silently crept toward the door; her handful of M&M's clutched tightly in her fist, turning her hand dots of different color (Don't you hate it when they do that?). She came to the door, and peeked around it. The hallway was empty. She continued out and down the hallway, not noticing the shadow creeping up behind her. She had almost made it to the front common room (they added that in before the food war. If one team could all make it to the common room, or make their opponents surrender, then that team would win) when Tristan tackled her from behind. She only had time to scream before he covered her mouth, and dragged her off to the compartment where they were keeping the prisoners. Tea saw the other two POW's, (prisoners of war) Mai and Serenity, being held by Joey and Duke, Joey keeping a close eye on Duke.
"Got another one," said Tristan, dragging Tea into the room and sitting down next to Joey and Mai. "Your turn," he said to the shadow in the corner. Yugi emerged, smirking. This would be fun.
Tori turned tail and dove back behind the couch after hearing Tea's scream. She sat silently, turning all of her senses towards the door, where she heard another person creeping up. A shadow slipped in the door in the darkness, and crept towards her. Tori was fully aware of it, and watched it carefully. Yugi's suddenly jumped out of the shadows at her, and out of shock Tori threw her Skittles at him and ran out the door, tearing down the hallway, being carefully pursued. She realized Yugi had stopped following her, and turned around to see where he'd gone. He'd vanished. She glanced curiously up and down the corridor, not seeing any sign of him. Before she could get the feeling she was being followed, Yugi had her arms in his hands. She struggled, snapping, biting at him, while he dragged her towards the compartment. He had her in the door, and wrestled her towards the seats when she began to go nuts, snarling and trying to tear at him with her teeth. Yugi realized it was becoming more than just a game then, and he quickly sat her down on the couch and scratched the back of her neck. To everyone's shock, Tori shut up, and curled up against Yugi's shoulder, purring. Yugi sighed.
"Phew, that was close," he said, "She almost went nuclear on me."
"That was one of the little 'tricks' you learned, wasn't it?" asked Joey, "You scratch the back of her neck, and she turns into a kitten!" He looked at Mai, apparently in thought.
"Don't even try it, Joey. I'm not half-cat, it won't work on me," said Mai.
"Or me!" said Serenity and Tea quickly as Duke and Tristan were about to try it.
"No, you guys, it won't work on them," said Yugi, "it's Tori's Ligress that makes her act like that." He stopped scratching, and stood up. He didn't notice that the purring had stopped, and Tori's eyes had opened, full of revenge. She glanced at the other girls, smiling. They got the message, and looked like nothing was happening.
Tori, quick as lightning, dove at Yugi, and held him against the wall with her claws, a can of whipped cream in her hands. While the boys were distracted, the other girls threw them off, and pinned them against the wall, cans of soda in their hands (don't ask me how they got them, use your imaginations). The boys finally surrendered, and there was much cheering from the girls.
"Yahoo! We beat the boys! We beat the boys!" came the chanting. The girls dashed out of the room as the boys got looks of revenge, and leaped at them. The girls made it into their room, and locked the door before the boys could open it. They sighed, and sat down on the couches. Tori glanced over at the door, and hoped that the boys didn't have anything to open the lock with. A black shadow appearing around the lock and turning it dashed her hopes quickly. In all of that, she'd forgotten about Yugi's powers!
"RUN!!" she screamed as the door opened. Tori was the only one who was ready, and she dashed past the boys with her super speed, but was followed by Yugi. When they reached their room, Yugi finally tackled her onto the couch, and locked the door behind him. Tori tried screaming for help, but she was soon silenced by the pleasant feeling spreading through her body again as Yugi scratched her neck. This time, he didn't stop scratching until her purring stopped, and he knew she was asleep. He then realized how tired he was, too. Tori curled up against him, sighing in her sleep. Yugi smiled, and fell asleep, too.
The next morning . . .
"WE'RE HEEEERRRRE!" screeched a voice throughout the truck, waking up every single person. Yugi jarred out of his sleep so fast, that he fell off the couch. In his struggle, he grabbed Tori to try to balance himself, but wound up pulling them both on the floor, Tori landing on top of him. Tori snapped awake, blushing when she saw the awkward position, and jumped off of Yugi quickly. He shook his head, sitting up.
"What the hell is she on?" he asked as he saw another hyperactive Tea bounce past the door.
"I'll go see," said Tori. Yugi fell back on the floor, pulling the blanket up and going back to sleep.
Soon, three girls on another sugar rush came shooting in the door.
"WAKE UP, YUGI!!!!! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! IT'S TIME TO HAVE BREAKFAST! LET'S GO!" they screamed. Yugi sat up angrily, growling at them.
"I'll ask this again, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ON????"
"WHAT ARE WE ON? WE'RE NOT ON ANYTHING, ARE WE, TEA?"
"NOPE, NOPE, NOTHING AT ALL, NOPE!"
Yugi got up off the floor as the Wired Threesome shot off for the common room. He walked in as they ran back out, going up and down the hallway, back and forth about a million times. Yugi didn't think he'd ever seen anyone run that fast before. Shaking his head, he went up to Joey.
"Morning, Yug. I just gave the girls coffee. Would you believe that they've never had it before? Yug? Why are you looking at me like that? Yug . . ."
He didn't get a chance to finish, Yugi had pounced on him and given him the worst beat-up of his life.
Satisfied, Yugi sat down to enjoy his breakfast, smiling at Joey's groaning form on the floor.
"Next time you wanna wake me up, do it yourself, and don't sic the Sugar- Rush Squad on me. Kapeesh?"
Joey's groan was enough of an answer for him.
Soon the girls had finished their coffee, and had run up and down the hallway enough to exhaust themselves before collapsing on the common room floor. Panting, they got up to have their own breakfast.
Tori felt like she had the worst headache of her life.
"Urrgh, now I know why I've never had coffee before," she said. Tea agreed.
"Yeah, last time I have any of that stuff."
"Makes you high," agreed Mai. Serenity came out of her room and came to eat her breakfast.
"Anyway, what were you screeching about this morning, Tea?"
"Oh, we're here," she replied.
"We're where?"
"At the beach, didn't you look out the window?"
Staring, Yugi got out of his chair and went over to his window. Sure enough, instead of forests, there was a broad expanse of sand stretching from the right to the left as far as could be seen. In front of them was another broad expanse of ocean, stretching out beyond the horizon.
"And don't forget the hotel!"
"What hotel?" asked Yugi.
"Right there," said Tea, pointing it out. Far to their left, a large building stood ten stories out of the sand, right on the beach. Beyond it were many buildings, lined up along the beach. Yugi stared.
"How can there be a hotel here? We're supposed to be the only people here!" he said. "Have you guys forgotten that we're in another dimension, not the real world?" The others sat, apparently in thought.
"Yeah, guess we did."
"How did all those other people get here, I wonder?" Tori piped up.
"Actually, I read something in the article that the guy who built this dimension linked it up with all the others that he knew. Apparently, other people have come here, too. Should we ask them if they're stuck here, too? If they're not, then they probably know how we can get out of here . . ." she said, her voice fading. Everyone looked down. They'd all forgotten about getting out of there.
"Let's not leave," said Tea.
"Yeah, we want to be here with you guys, we don't want to go," said Tori, walking over to Yugi and taking his hand. Yugi blushed as he looked down at their hands. The other girls smiled, and went to their guys.
"How about we just have fun here? The other people here seem to be having plenty of fun," said Mai.
Yugi looked up, and suddenly wished they were back in the secluded forest where they'd been before. There were lots of people there. Tori decided to be the brave one, and got out of the truck first. She walked up to the hotel. Everyone followed her, Tristan locked up the truck as they left. Tori went into the front lobby of the hotel, and looked around. Everyone there seemed to be having fun. Then Tori noticed something very peculiar.
"You guys, do you see something missing here?" she asked.
"What?" asked Tea.
"There aren't any adults here," she said quietly, "It's all teenagers, like us. There's not an adult to be seen." Tea glanced around, and her eyes widened.
"Wow, you're right, Tori, I don't see anyone over the age of 18 here," she said.
"Or anyone younger than 13," quoted Mai.
"I like this place!" said Tristan as he looked around, seeing all of the arcade games lining the lobby wall. They walked up to the front desk.
"Hey, like, you guys look kinda, like, lost. You new here?" came a very valley-girlish voice from behind the counter. A blonde head poked out from behind the counter. The girl had blue eyes, which were lined by, in Tori's opinion, far too much eyeliner and mascara.
"Um, yeah, we're new," said Tea, "You think . . ."
Mai nudged her.
"Let me handle this," she whispered. She turned to the girl. "Listen, hun, we need rooms, could you get us some?" she asked, getting back her rich girl attitude.
"Oh, yeah, like, sure," said the girl. She turned to the box behind her. "Which floor do you want, and how many rooms do you need?"
"Top floor, two adjoining rooms, with a porch overlooking the ocean on each one," said Mai flatly. The girl nodded, grabbing two sets of keys and tossing them to Mai. "Also, could you tell us what's with this place? All I see are teens, where're the adults?"
"Oh, we, like, don't do adults here," replied the girl, "If you want to go to Snoresville, it's about a hundred miles up the coast from here, and if you wanna go to the Kiddies' Corner, it's about a hundred miles in the other direction."
"Great!" said Mai, "We just wanted to know, thanks a lot, hun!"
"You're in rooms 176 A and B on the top floor," she said, "And don't forget, this entire place is free, so, like, have fun!" They went and got into the glass elevators that went up the floors, going past a huge room with a high ceiling full of party stuff, another one with an indoor plain (grassland), that seemed to go on forever, and yet another one with an indoor pool, with a bunch of guys playing water polo at one end, and other kids swimming at the other end. Soon, they were in the actual hotel rooms, continuing up.
Tea looked at the elevator buttons. The bottom one was a fuzzy pink one that said Lobby, the next was glittery with Party Room on it, the next was bright green with Field on it, Pool was shiny blue, and the room floors were all red. They reached the top floor finally. Tori walked out the door quickly, and headed to their rooms, unlocking room A with her key. She went in and sat down on one of the five double beds. The other girls soon came in, closing the door behind them, and opening the door between the two rooms so that the boys and girls could visit.
"I call this one!" Tori said, claiming the bed nearest the sliding glass doors that opened to the porches outside. Tea got the one next to her, and Mai after that, with Serenity closest to the door. The boys picked their beds, and came in to see the girls. Tori went out on the porch. She stared out at the immense view, and saw teens running around on the beach or swimming in the ocean. Far below the porch, there was a fenced-in cement area with another enormous pool. "Wow," she said as she continued to watch the rhythmic flow of the waves in the ocean, occasionally disturbed by some girl or boy playing ball, swimming, or surfing.
Tea walked up behind her, and took the view in with an, "Awesome!" Tori decided to go explore the hotel.
"I'll be back!" she called as she raced out the door and down to the elevators.
