Chapter Four: The fun begins
He sat back in his chair, swishing around his wine glass thoughtfully. "I need an idea..." he muttered, turning his face to the high ceiling. His attention turned to the monitors that sat before him. He watched intently as a hidden camera followed Yugi and his friends around. His mind was working like a machine. Processing every possible outcome of a single plan, not one detail being left out. He suddenly sat upright, a sly, evil grin creeping across his lips. "I have it." He muttered. He pressed a button, calling for his henchmen to prepare to carry out the dirty deed.
~At the Beach~
"AIIIIEEEEEEKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!"
The shriek pierced the calm, ocean air, alerting all in its presence. Serenity winced as the scream echoed again, sending shivers down her spine.
"What is it, Mai?" She asked.
"My swimsuit is missing!!!" Mai answered, "I-I had it here!"
Serenity thoughtfully poked her own cheek. "Well, I saw a guy run over here and grab a pink bag-"
"My swimsuit! It was in that bag! My brand new swimsuit!" Shrieked Mai.
Téa leaned on the side of Mai's convertible, panting, as she had finally caught up with the gang. "Stupid Seto... Was anything else in the bag?"
"Good gracious! Thank heavens no!" gasped Mai, clearly overwhelmed with the theft of her precious swimsuit.
"Perhaps we can go buy a new one?" suggested Téa. "I see a huge shopping center over there."
Serenity clapped her hands together happily. "Oh yes! Please Mai?! I haven't been shopping in the longest time ever!"
Mai pondered the thought. Shopping was her specialty. "Alright. Good thing I forced my insurance company to insure the suit."
Téa frowned. "Is it really THAT valuable, Mai?" She asked as she threw her bags into Mai's trunk.
As if Joey slapped her, Mai turned around to face Téa. "Is it valuable?" she hissed. "IS IT VALUABLE, YOU ASK?! WELL LET ME TELL YOU THAT IT WAS A BRAND NEW LOUIS VUITTON SWIMSUIT!!!!"
Serenity chuckled. "Brand new and brand name!"
Mai nodded. "Téa, go tell the guys that we'll be at the mall and we'll meet them around three o'clock."
Téa saluted mockingly and ran off.
~With the Guys~
The boys were all happily laying out their belongings in the sand, since they all had changed into their swimming trunks. || Imagine that! Smexy! XD || {*Drools at Yami in black swim trunks and squeals "Kawaii!" at Yugi*}
"Man, I can't wait ta get in tha wata!" said Joey as he rubbed sunscreen on his arm impatiently.
Yugi had immediately started construction on a sand castle, he then paused and looked at Yami, whom was surveying the youngster.
"Want to help, Yami?" he asked innocently.
Yami sat down opposite of Yugi. "I see why not. I prefer we do not build an English castle."
Yugi cocked his head to one side in confusion. "That's the only type of castle I know."
Yami piled damp sand eagerly, forming a large rectangular base. "I wish to construct an Egyptian palace, similar to that of my own. I will show you how it is done, for I have played in sand many times since I was a child."
Yugi smiled warmly at Yami.
Seto was sitting under the shade of an umbrella, likewise with Mokuba. Bakura, Ryou, Malik, and Marik were entranced in yet another tag-team game. Seto had brought Duel Disks, so vivid holograms of the monsters stood obediently next to their masters. They were attracting quite a crowd, as they were putting on an impressive show of explosions and magic.
Joey, Tristan, and Duke were engrossed in a game of... Splashing each other. Tristian laughed as he shoved Joey's head underwater. As everyone was doing their own thing, Téa came running. || This part is for you Akiko! || Unaware of the majestic sand palace built by Yugi and Yami, her foot slammed right into the side of the palace, utterly destroying it and also causing herself to trip and fall on her face {LMAO!!! SERVES YOU RIGHT, BIOTCH!!! *Gasps* YOU DESTROYED YAMI AND YUGI'S EGYPTIAN PALACE!!! YOU SHALL PAY!!! I SHALL HAVE YOUR HEAD!!! *Chases Téa with scythe in hand*}.
She coughed sand out of her mouth and look apologetically at Yami. " Sorry?"
Yami closed his eyes to keep his anger at bay, breathing in sharply.
"Its ok Téa..." said Yugi. ' It was such a beautiful palace...' Yugi thought sadly.
Téa scrambled up and brushed herself off. "Uh, I came to tell you guys that me, Mai, and Serenity are going to mall... To get Mai a new bathing suit..." She then awkwardly stumbled away.
"I must be calm with her..." said Yami to himself, inhaling deeply.
Yugi watched Téa thoughtfully. "Yami, it was fun, building that castle. Maybe building it again wouldn't be so bad?"
Yami nodded. "That's one of the things I like about you Yugi... You're always so positive." With that, the duo began recreating the palace.
~Back with the ladies~
At the mall, Téa's spirit has lifted a considerable amount. Turns out that the mall was having a huge sale. Mai was hysterical with joy. They rushed to and fro, snapping up bargains and whatnot. Finally, they were at a shop that was selling swimwear. Mai was looking at a display while Serenity was selecting goggles for her older brother. Téa, however, had found the bikini for herself. Even though she already possessed a decent bikini, this one was wonderful. Excited, she proudly showed the bikini to Serenity and Mai.
"Isn't it great?" She asked.
Mai grinned. "Its perfect for you, Téa! Buy it!"
Serenity tugged at Mai's sleeve. "Shouldn't she try it on first?"
Téa looked shocked. "I can't believe I forgot to try it on!" She rushed to the changing rooms, with Mai and Serenity trailing behind.
As Téa rummaged around in the cramped area, Mai wandered off, returning with latte's for her friends.
~With the guys~
Yugi and Yami leaned back to admire their handiwork. It was a breathtaking sight, far better than the first one. {*Eyes sparkle*}
"See Yami?" said Yugi proudly. "Its way better then before!"
Yami nodded. "Maybe it's a good thing Téa knocked it over then. Or we would have never created such a masterpiece."
Yugi yawned and laid down on his beach towel, preparing himself for a nap.
Yami flung himself on the sand and looked up at the soft, fluffy clouds that were peacefully drifting across the sky. He sighed, treasuring the moment with his friends. As he closed his eyes, ready to fall into peaceful slumber, he felt something heavy being piled upon his chest. Ignoring it and keeping his eyes closed, he continued to fall into serene oblivion, but was soon snapped back to reality by a chuckle. His chest was getting heavier, as with his legs and arms. Finally, Yami's eyes snapped open. He looked fiercely at Yugi, Joey, and Tristian.
"Hey sleepy-head." Said Yugi cheerfully.
"I was not asleep." Yami snorted. "I merely closed my eyes for a few seconds."
"Yeah, yeah." Said Joey. "By the way, Marik told us to."
All three of them stood back, watching Yami, who raised an eyebrow at them suspiciously. As he tried to get up, but realized, in horror, that he was buried in sand. The sand had taken the form of an octopus, so it looked like Yami had eight tentacles. Seeing the mortified expression on Yami's face, the three friends burst into laughter. Yami growled, unable to find anything amusing about the situation.
"I am not dead!" He barked. "Unbury me an once!"
Malik and Marik glanced at Yami casually. "Relax, Pharaoh." Smirked Marik. "You shall be released when the goofballs see fit."
The Egyptian king glared fiercely at Marik. "Alright, as a Pharaoh, I command you to release me this instant!"
Malik bowed. "As you wish." He turned to Joey, Yugi, and Tristian. "Goofballs, unbury the Pharaoh."
The three friends grinned idiotically and started to dig the enraged Yami out. Ryou and Bakura were watching from a safe distance, chuckling.
Far from the scene below, atop a sand dune, stood a noble figure. His hands were in his pockets, fiddling with a small microchip. His hair waved in the wind and his faithful henchmen stood a little distance behind him.
"It is time." He said in a slow voice. His henchmen nodded as he dropped the chip into the hands of the leader. The men in black {Hey, I was watching Men In Black II today ^^'} then walked off, leaving their master.
He smiled, taking in the salty air. "In time..." He muttered. "In time... You... Will be mine..." He threw back his head, laughing an evil, haunting laughter. "Oh, what fun!"
Unaware of the villain, Yugi and his friends were happily digging Yami out of his pit, whom was still glaring at Marik.
~Back with the gals~
Téa observed herself in the mirror, striking a pose. "Gee, It looks awesome!" she exclaimed happily. She stepped out of the change room and twirled before Mai and Serenity.
"Its great, Téa!" said Serenity.
"Fabulous." Complimented Mai. "You're going to have to buy it now!"
Téa nodded. "Let me go back in the change room to get my clothes. Can you guys wait for me by the cashier?"
Her friends agreed and left.
Téa walked back inside her change room. She closed the door and removed her clothes that were hanging on a hook. Just as her hand touched the handle of the doorknob, she felt strong arms grab her around the waist, along with a hand clamping upon her mouth. Téa struggled, trying to overcome the stranger's strong grip, but her efforts were futile.
"Gotcha!" said a low, masculine voice.
~At the Cashier~
Mai impatiently tapped her foot on the cool, marble floor. Crossing her arms, she glanced in the direction of the changing rooms. "Where's Téa? It can't take her that long just to grab her clothes!"
Serenity started walking to the changing rooms, maneuvering through the racks. "I think we should check on her."
As if on cue, a shriek was heard from the back of the store.
"Its Téa!" said Serenity and Mai in unison.
When they got there, Téa had her foot resting on a large man's back. She looked triumphant while the man looked bruised.
"Téa?" said Mai in a confused tone. "What happened?"
Téa grinned. "This guy attacked me, so I whopped his ass."
Serenity observed the stunned man. "Wow Téa... You really pack a punch... This guy looks pretty bad."
"Yeah... Well... Lets just go pay for my suit and go." Said Téa casually.
As the tri walked to the cashier, again, Mai noticed Téa kept on rubbing her ear.
"Téa? Is something wrong?" asked Mai.
Téa looked at Mai, confused. "No... Nothing. Everything is fine... Just fine..."

Yukiko: Well... I tried! I really did! Sorry if this chapter was kinda lame... But was longer then the last one I wrote, right?
Akiko: You see, Yuki's brain tends to dry out sometimes.
Yukiko: ...Huh?
Yugi: Well that proves Akiko's point.
Yukiko: What?
Mai: Never mind, Yukiko. Perhaps you should take a rest? After all it is... 12:17AM
Yukiko: Aw, that's not too late!
Akiko: Bed! Straight to bed Yuki! Or my Mallet of Doom shall send you to sleep.
