Ok, this is the first chapter of Lost in Golden Sands...Be ready for random fluff, far too much kissing, a tiny touch of angst, and a cheesy fortuneteller, weird Egyptian names, and tears.
Karma: I LOVE it! *dons fortuneteller headwrap*
Me: You're weird.
Karma: :P
Me: *eyeroll* On with the fic!

"C'mon, Toria, we're going to be late meeting the guys!" yelled Tea up the stairs. She was waiting impatiently in the foyer, hoping Toria would show up before her legs needed another shave. What could she be doing up there?
Looking harried and rushed, Toria scampered down the stairs, flushed but pretty in her basic black sundress, amethyst pendant, and black sunglasses perched on her smooth violet hair.
"Ready now?" demanded Tea, slightly exasperated. "You know those guys can't be left on their own for very long."
"Yeah," sighed Toria as she headed out the door of the apartment suite and locked it. "We can't even leave them at a bus stop without a brawl, let alone at the carnival." She checked her watch. "Serenity and Mai are meeting us there, right?"
"Yeah." Tea gazed at Toria's bike with awe. "Hey, your motorcycle finally got shipped over from the States! Cool model."
Toria gave a faint smile of dreamy pride as she pulled on her leather jacket and indigo helmet. "Take one of these." She tossed Tea a helmet decaled with a black rose. She swung her leg over the Harley, carefully tucking her sundress modestly. Tea climbed on the back.
"Hang on," said Toria, and with a flare of gas and explosion, the dark purple motorcycle sped out of the driveway, trailing exhaust.

Kaiba glanced at his watch. How did he let himself get bullied into a carnival, with Yugi and Dimwit Co. of all people? He gave a slight smirk. He knew how she did it. A few kisses usually did the trick. It had taken a few more this time. He hated carnivals. Too much sun. Too many people with chili cheese fry breath. Too many puddles of puke near the spinning rides. He gave a frown at the bright blue sky. Ugh. More sunlight.
"Are Serenity and Mai ridin' with Tor and Tea, or is Mai drivin'?" asked Joey, eyeing the chili cheese fry stall. Kaiba rolled his eyes, thinking that Joey would shortly be another in the chili cheese fry breath population.
"Mai and Serenity are driving," confirmed Tristan, watching the parking lot for any sign of Mai's shrieking, neon purple convertible. It was pretty hard to miss.
"What about Tea?" asked Yugi, retying his shoelace.
"Toria is bringing her on her motorcycle," growled Kaiba. He shot a glance at Mokuba, who was almost bursting with anticipation at the prospect of so many exciting smells and sights. He passed his brother a fifty. "Go on, Mokuba. Meet us back at the Ferris wheel in three hours." With a cry of "Thanks, Seto!" he was already off and running. Kaiba gave a dark half- smile. Mokuba was such a good kid. A little too sheltered, didn't get out enough, yes – but a good kid all the same.
"I dink dat's dem!" shouted Joey as a whirlwind of gray exhaust and grit, shrouding the figures, came roaring closer. With a screeching brake, the motorcycle halted, skidding on the gravel and showering the boys with dust. When the smoke cleared, it revealed two young girls – Toria and Tea.
Toria smiled at Kaiba and tore off her helmet, her normally smooth violet hair askew. She stowed both helmets away, along with the leather jacket, looking just as fresh and adorable as before. She strode to Kaiba and gave him a romantic kiss.
He gave another half-smile at this, holding her to him girlfriend/boyfriend style, and said to her, "I suppose you know this is my favorite outfit on you?"
"Of course I do. You bought it for me." She gave an uncharacteristic giggle and gave him another brief kiss.
Tea was not so lucky. Unused to the motorcycle, she was covered in grit and looked rather shook up...and slightly green. Yugi helped her off the motorcycle and held her purse while she brushed off her skirt and t-shirt.
"We'll get you some water, Tea," said Yugi, handing back her purse.
"Sorry, Tea," apologized Toria. "I should've warned you. Most people don't like their first ride."
"Hey!" shouted Mai as she ran up to the group, Serenity in tow.
"Ok, we'll all here," said Yugi.
"We'll meet back at the Ferris wheel in three hours," said Tristan.
"Right," they all agreed, and then turned to go their separate ways.

Karma: What a LAME chapter. No action, barely any kissing – you are awful.
Me: I could cut off your pocket money, girl.
Karma: *shuts up*
That was chapter 1!!! Not very eventful, but it's getting there. Should probably be about...*counts on fingers* 7 chapters at the most, I think. Mind you the first story was supposed to be 9. Lol! R&R, please...
