But first, the disclaimer: I don't own Yu-gi-oh! (or Seto Kaiba.)
Chapter 3: Overboard!"Hey! I see it! I see it!" shouted Joey, leaning forward and pointing out the window, squishing his friends in the process.
"We know Joey," said Tea, her voice muffled because her face was squashed against the seat. "We could see it from the expressway."
The car pulled up to the seaside hotel. After finding their room and unloading their things, they started packing for the boat trip.
"Hey Yug, should I take the spicy chips or these cheese puffs?" asked Joey, holding up two giant-sized bags.
"Joey, don't you think we have enough food?" asked Yugi.
"Not likely!" said Tea. "With Joey around, we probably won't even have enough to last us an hour!"
"Whaddya mean by that?!" exclaimed Joey. "Tristan eats more than me!"
"Exactly!" replied Tea. "With both of you around, nobody will get anything to eat!"
"Well then, I guess I'll just have to take both bags!" grinned Joey.
After a few small delays over which pop to bring, everyone was finally ready to go. They drove to the dock and looked for their boat.
"Is that it, Grandpa?" asked Yugi, pointing to a medium-sized wooden vessel with twin sails.
"That's the one," said Solomon.
"Woohoo! Let's go!" yelled Joey as he ran up the gangplank.
"Wait for us, Joey!" called Yugi as he and Tristan ran up after him.
"Hmph! Boys," said Tea as she, Serenity, and Solomon also boarded.
"Aaaannnd cast off!" said Joey, striking what he thought was a macho pose in the bow of the boat, while his exasperated friends sighed.
"So, what do you think of the boat, Yugi?" asked Solomon.
"It's great, Grandpa!" Yugi answered.
"It has a radio in case we run into trouble, and a motor that can get us back to the dock if the wind fails," said Solomon.
"This is going to be the best boat trip ever!" exclaimed Yugi.
It certainly started off that way. Everyone had brought their dueling decks, in case they felt like playing a friendly game or two. Joey and Tristan were in the middle of a heated competition, each one trying to top the other to impress Serenity, who was watching their duel. A few feet away, Yugi and Yami were teaching Tea some new techniques, and she was picking them up very quickly.
"You'd better watch out, Joey!" Yugi called to his friend. "Next time you play Tea, she might beat you!"
"Say what?!" exclaimed Joey, looking up from his game with Tristan.
"Yeah! After you and Tristan finish your game, I'll play the winner!" teased Tea.
"Hmph!" said Solomon from his position at the wheel.
"What's wrong, Grandpa?" asked Yugi.
"Where did all this fog come from?" he grumbled.
The thin mist that had wreathed the boat for about ten minutes was quickly turning into heavy fog. The thick whiteness made it almost impossible to see anything more than five feet away.
"Sorry, kids, but we'll have to turn around and head back," said Solomon. "That is, if we can find our way back," he muttered darkly to himself. "Yugi, take the wheel while I go get the radio."
Suddenly, the boat hit an underwater rock. It wasn't damaged, but the shock violently jolted the vessel, causing everyone onboard to fall to the deck. Solomon, who had just gotten the radio, was instead pitched to the side and fell overboard, still clutching the radio. Yugi saw him fall.
"Grandpa!" he cried as he scrambled to his feet. The boy raced to the broken railing, but he could see nothing through the fog. All the while, the boat was moving rapidly away from the spot where Solomon had fallen in.
Ok, that's the end of chapter 3! I will get chapter 4 up as soon as possible.
