Chapter 8: The Many Joys of an Amusement Park
The long walk to the Amusement Park was silent. Icey kept staring at the ground, she didn't have the nerve to talk to Kaiba, not even look at him. I mean, how could she? Not after what she had just admitted to him, and being rejected. No, she just couldn't bring herself to. Oh why was she so stupid as to fall in love with the wrong person?? But that was typical of Icey. Always doing SOMETHING stupid. She sighed softly so Kaiba wouldn't hear her. Upon reaching their destination, Kaiba stopped. And since Icey was always looking to the ground, she crashed into Kaiba's back.
"Sorry," she muttered, still not looking up into his face. It was only until she heard another voice did she actually tilt her head upwards.
"Hey, there's the star!!!" Joey yelled, waving his arms around in the air as if to get her attention.
Icey ran over to the group, Kaiba stared after her.
~*Seto's POV*~
Honestly, I have never met a girl so dense before in my life. She...she's beyond fucking dense. That idiot seriously needs an IQ booster. Even more so then Joey. I swear it, she's the most irritable thing on this planet.......I'd kick her out of the house if I could, but Mokuba is too attached to her. But even so, she looked to me for support and I threw it back in her face. And now, all I can do is stare after her, feeling not sure of myself anymore. But one thing is still certain....... (A/N: This whole 'one thing is still certain' thing means two things people, can you guess what it means? Don't worry it all makes sense in the next chapter!!)
"Idiot," I whispered. "Honestly, you really are an idiot"
~*Back to whatever POV it was before... O.o*~
Kaiba shook his head, from the group he heard someone speak,
"Anything the matter Icey? You look upset," Ryou asked, he always was a caring one. It made Icey want to cry. Instead, she faked a smile,
"It's nothing. Nothing at all!! I'm perfectly fine!" She linked arms with Yami on one side and Joey on the other, "C'mon guys, let's go knock ourselves out!!"
The group was able to get in free of charge because of Kaiba, and their first destination was none other then the huge rollercoaster, Yugi shuddered,
"Evil, evil things..." He muttered.
Joey suddenly got an evil idea,
"Say Yug, that rollercoaster looks awfully sweet, wanna give it a try?" He asked, without waiting for a reply, Joey dragged a kicking and screaming Yugi in line.
Icey smiled, "C'mon, I'm gonna have a go too, whaddya say Mokie, wanna come on with me?"
(You, came into my life, and my world never looked so bright yeah,)
Mokuba grinned, it had been years since someone had called him Mokie, "Yeah, I'd LOVE to have a go!!" He said running after her.
(It's you, you bring out the best in me, and now I can clearly see,)
Duke ran after them, motioning for the others to follow, "Let's go chicken- wusses!!"
(Days keep getting better, Nights keep getting better, days keep getting better oh yea)
"Who's a chicken-wuss??????" Bakura yelled a smirk crept across his face. The former Tomb robber ran after the green eyed fool.
(When you are around, when you are around, all things just keep getting better. When you are around, when you are around, all things just keep getting better,)
Malik, shook his head, "No way, no force on heaven or Earth can make me sit in that 'Cart of Death'" He said. It was then Icey ran past him,
"Malik-chan, iku yo!!!" she said to him specifically.
"Hai!!!!!!" He said, running after her and Mokuba.
(Say, it's more then one day(More then one day), That you'll be right here beside me(Stay beside me), It's you and all of the things you do, that makes everything alright,)
Within seconds, everyone was waiting in line,
"JOEY WHEELER!!!!!! LET ME GO!!! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO AN INNOCENT KID!!!" Yugi was screaming. Yami sweatdropped,
"It's alright, Hikari. You don't hear Ryou complaining!"
Ryou was pale as anything, sweating like hell and rocking back and forth while saying,
"Find a happy place, find a happy place, find a happy place..."
Everyone sweatdropped.
(Coz Days keep getting better, Nights keep getting better, Days keep getting better oh yeah. Days keep getting better, Nights keep getting better, Days keep getting better. It's true!!)
Yugi clutched onto the rails as the cart went over the first hill (A/N: ok I dunno what they are called so I will call them hills ok? -.-") He screamed all the way down. Mokuba was having a blast, and Kaiba was glad to see it.
"YEAH, BRING IT ON!!!!!" Joey yelled.
(When you are around, when you are around, all things just keep getting better. When you are around, when you are around, all things just keep getting better,)
The ride came to a stop again, Yugi's eye was twitching, he was gripping the rails so hard his knuckles were turning white, almost matching the tone of Ryou's face.
"Never again," He vowed. "Never I tell you!!!"
Icey giggled in glee, "That was great guys!!" She said.
Joey nodded in agreement, then turned to Yugi, "You arite man? I didn't mean to..." He said the last part in between fits of laughter.
Then Yugi exploded with a, "HOW COULD YOU JOEY?? YOU KNOW I HATE ROLLERCOASTERS!!!"
Joey sweatdropped, "Sorry man, it was just for entertainment."
They all got off the carts and walked out of the gate. Laughing and talking like nothing was wrong at all. Hell, even Bakura was enjoying himself, which was definitely an accomplishment.
(When we are together baby things keep getting better. Better baby better baby, when we are together baby, 'gether baby. Things keep getting better baby, better baby. When we are together...)
After the rollercoaster ride, the group stopped at the gate to the bumper cars of hell!!
"What is the object of this game pray tell?" Marik asked, watching the mayhem inside the ring. With what appeared to be fascination and glee.
Tristan grinned, "It's a game I think you and Bakura will both LOVE!! You just have to sit in the car, drive around and hit as many other cars as you possibly can!" He explained.
Marik's and Bakura's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Is the prize world domination???" Marik asked quickly.
"Uh...there is no prize Marik..." Tea said raising an eyebrow.
"Oh well..." Marik sighed, shrugging it off.
Tea turned to the others, "Whaddya say we give this a go?"
Joey and Tristan just shrugged, they didn't seem to mind what they did. Icey tugged on Yami's sleeve,
"A...ano, Bakura to Marik wa doko desuka?" Icey asked. (A/N: Translation- 'Umm...where are Bakura and Marik?')
Yami looked around, indeed they were gone!! A sudden beeping made everyone jump. It was Bakura, he and Marik were already sitting in two of the cars, Bakura was beeping at them with the horn in his car, Marik was equally impatient.
"C'mon you fools!! Get in, I wanna see some destruction dammit!!!!" Bakura yelled at his friends.
"Such impatience..." Yugi muttered, closing his eyes for a while, when he opened them again, everyone around him was gone. Only Yami stood by him, "Where did everyone run off to now?" He asked his Dark.
Yami groaned and pointed to the carts which were now almost all occupied by their friends. They were getting impatient too.
"Hey you two queers hurry up or we'll start without you!!" Mokuba yelled.
"Call me a queer will you??!!" Yami shouted, rolling up his sleeves and making his way to an empty car, "I'll slam you into the wall so hard you'll..." Yami trailed off when he noticed Kaiba giving him as evil glare, Yami sweatdropped. He silently got into his car and buckled himself down.
"Ready, set, GO!!!" The announcer.....um...announced, then put on the song 'Para Para Sakura'.
(A/N: Tee hee, now I'm listening to 'Para Para Sakura' By Aaron Kwok, if you don't know who he is then never mind, but if you do, you should know how this song goes, very upbeat and dancy. Puts me in high spirits... ^-^ *Dances around* Seto: O.o")
Bakura slammed down the acceleration and charged forwards right into Icey's car,
"Hey!!" She yelled, "I wasn't ready!!!"
"Bad luck Mortal!!" Bakura answered back. He gave Marik a look and Marik nodded. The duo turned towards Tristan.
"Oh yeah?" He asked, "Just try it mate!!" Tristan hit the acceleration, only, he didn't move. Tristan panicked, Marik was closing in on him on one side and Bakura was on the other. "Oh crap...I always get the dud cars......" He muttered, right before impact.
Joey grinned, turning the steering wheel to ram into Mokuba, "Dwahahahahaha!!!" Was all Mokuba could hear apart from the ringing in his ears from the impact.
Kaiba smirked, "Hey Wheeler!!" He called. Joey turned his head to see Kaiba heading straight for him, "Don't hurt my brother!!" Kaiba said, before violently ramming into him. Joey sat with swirls in his eyes,
"Pretty stars..." He uttered.
Kaiba slapped his brother a high five as he drove past. Meanwhile, Bakura and Marik were planning their next attack. Bakura stared over at Tea and smirked evilly. Marik followed his gaze, his smirk mirrored Bakura's. The deadly team adjusted their steering and drove towards Tea....... And slammed her out of the game. (A/N: Thank GOD!!!!....LOL!! ^-^..Heh, don't ask...) Yugi and Ryou were peacefully driving around the course, staying out of the mayhem. It was like they were in their own little world amidst a World War. Too bad they were Bakura and Marik's next victims, as they headed off into the two little boy's direction. Bakura was taking the lead as his car was better. When he was almost there, Yami suddenly knocked his car off course, Yami grinned,
"To get to my Hikari you have to get past the King of Games!!" Yami challenged.
"Gladly," Bakura replied, following Yami's car closely.
However, this left an open opportunity to Marik. Marik sped towards the two Hikari's. Only to be hit by Icey and Malik, who were then hit by the Kaiba Brothers. Joey still sat in his car, the swirls repeatedly spinning around. Tristan and Tea got out of their cars to commentate.
"And here we have the 'Deadly Duo', consisting of the Bastard Bakura and the Malicious Marik. After them is the Courageous lone wolf, 'The King of Games'!!! But of course, how could we forget, the other not so courageous lone loser, 'Wheely Wheeler', who unfortunately is unconscious right now, courtesy of Seto Kaiba!! Up next is the incredibly amazing team, the....um...err... 'Incredibly Amazing Team', including the Intriguing Icey and the Marvelous Malik. Then we have the unbeatable 'Kaiba Brothers'!! And our last contestants are none other then, 'The Peace-loving Hikari's', the members of this team are of course, Yippin' Yugi and Ridiculous Ryou!!" (A/N: I'm sorry, don't hurt me!! I couldn't think of another adjective starting with 'R' for Ryou!!) Tristan turned to Tea, "And right here we have the Trippin' Tea, What's your opinion on this match so far Tea?" Tea stepped up to him.
"Well Tristan, I believe that the 'Deadly Duo' have the advantage in this match. With their love for destruction, you'd better steer clear!! The 'Kaiba Brothers' definitely have the most brains amongst all the teams, but is that enough? The 'Incredibly Amazing Team' have got skill with them, but they'll need more then that to win!! 'The King of Games' may stand alone, but don't take that as a weakness. 'Wheely Wheeler' is unable to battle at this point so I can't submit an opinion for him. And the 'Peace-loving Hikari's' will definitely lose unless they start attacking SOMETHING soon!!"
Meanwhile, inside the ring, this so called, 'battle' raged on. Bakura was every now and then ramming Yami from behind. Kaiba and Mokuba were busy scheming, all while kicking ass with style. Marik was trying to find some way to outsmart Icey and Malik.
"Die 'Incredibly Amazing Team'!!" Marik yelled, charging towards an unprepared Icey.
"I think not Marik!!" The Hikari yelled to his Dark, ramming him out of the way.
Yami sped past the three, Bakura was close behind.
"Keep trying Tomb robber!!" Yami teased turning his head to look at the white haired hottie (A/N: Tee hee, don't mind me, I think Bakura is DAMN hot!!! Who agrees with me???? ^o^)
"Yami look out!!!" Yugi suddenly yelled.
Confused, Yami turned back to the front, just in time to see the barrier around the edge of the ring. Yami crashed into it, sending him flying out of his car, and landing on the floor face first.
"Ooh, and 'The King of Games' has taken a rather nasty hit, and in conclusion, he is OUT of the match!!!" Tea announced.
Bakura slid to a stop beside the barrier,
"Nice move Ex-Pharaoh!!" He said smirking.
Yami didn't reply, even if he could. Bakura sniggered and drove off again to join Marik. Marik nodded to his partner, and once again, the two headed for another 'team', only to slow to a stop. Confused, Bakura blinked. (A/N: How cute would he look if he really did that??? ^-^)
"Oh and it appears that the ride is now over, the winner of this match was undecided!!" Tea said.
Marik and Bakura looked around, everyone else was getting off with disappointed groans. Marik pouted.
"It's not fair, I want more mayhem!!!!"
~*After tearing Marik away from his beloved Bumper Car*~
"FERRIS WHEEL FERRIS WHEEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Icey yelled pointing to the L-A-R- G-E white ferris wheel. It was beautifully decorated with lights on the side which flashed different patterns and colours, like a yin-yang, coloured swirls and even stars and what not. Bakura gritted his teeth, hiding behind a tree. This was something he was hoping they WOULDN'T do. Every now and then he stuck his head out from behind it, great, everyone was agreeing to Icey's decision. Yami smiled,
"That's a great idea, Icey!" He paused, sensing something behind him.
The others began walking off, leaving behind Yami. He turned to the source of the disturbance to see Bakura stick his head out from behind the tree again. Yami knelt down in front of him,
"What are you doing?" He asked.
Bakura stood up, "....N-nothing at all...." He replied, kicking a small stone with his shoe.
"Nothing eh.....?" Yami questioned, a sudden thought came to him. "You're afraid of heights aren't you, Bakura.....ne.....ne???"
Bakura sweatdropped, he gasped inwardly, sheepishly scratching the back of his head, "Who do you think I am Ex-Pharaoh??? Some loser who can't handle heights??? C'mon, what kind of loser do you take me for.....?"
~*Minutes later*~
Everyone had gotten into their carriage, everyone but Yami and Bakura,
"Where are they?" Tea asked.
Joey shrugged, it was then that Yami stepped in with a chibi Bakura firmly attached to his leg. Malik sweatdropped,
"You had to CARRY him on????" He asked raising an eyes brow.
"Damare!!!!(Translation- 'Shut up') You'd be scared of heights too if you were trapped in that ring for 5000 years!!!!!" Bakura objected, a smirk crept across his face, "At least I didn't get dumped by 15 girls in one day!!!!"
Malik clenched a fist, his face heated up slightly, "I did NOT get dumped!!!!"
Bakura stuck his tongue out at him, "Mwahahahaha, dumped dumped dumped!!!!!"
Malik tackled him to the ground.
"Children settle!!!" Tristan said in an authorotive voice.
Within minutes the carriage moved off. Bakura clung to his Hikari, cutting off the circulation to his right arm.
"Smile guys!!" Tea said, holding up her camera to include all her friends in one picture. They all struck a pose, and the camera let off a flash. This was a different camera, one of the old ones that develop pictures on the spot. The small white square slid out of the slot, Tea help it up for them to see. Marik noticed another him inside the picture.
"HEY WHAT'S THAT MARIK DOING IN THERE????? I'M THE REAL MARIK!!!! ME!!! HE'S AN IMPOSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He yelled leaping to his feet pointing to himself. The carriage swung back and forth dangerously.
"STOP IT!!!!!!!!!" Bakura yelled.
Tea sweatdropped, "Relax Marik!! It's only a photo!!"
Marik stopped his raving, "Huh??? Pho-to???" He wondered in amazement.
The others sweatdropped, like this --( ^-^"
"Stupid fool, you don't even know what a photo is..." Bakura muttered.
Marik heard this and lunged at Bakura, seconds later a screaming Bakura was being hung outside the carriage by his ankle, courtesy of Marik,
"Let go!!!!!!!!!!!" He yelled.
"Let go Bakura? I don't know why you want me to but alright!!" Marik replied and let go of his ankle.
"Marik!!!!" His Hikari scolded.
Pouting, the insane Yami took hold of Bakura's ankle again and brought him back in.
"It sure is nice up here," Mokuba said aimlessly.
"Yeah, and cold..." Icey said shivering.
Kaiba looked at her for a few seconds then looked away. Another movement triggered his attention back to Icey. Malik had his arm around her shoulders. A stress mark appeared on Kaiba's forehead, (A/N: You know the ones when anime characters get pissed off and this little thing shows up on their head? Yah, that's the one) He put his feet up on the seat opposite him right between Icey and Malik, forcing them to separate. Joey smothered a laugh. Finally, much to Bakura's enlightenment, the ride was over. With Kaiba keeping an eye on the whereabouts of a certain purple haired girl.
Yugi smiled at his friends, "How about something a little more relaxing, like the paddle boats?"
Tristan rolled his eyes, "Leave it to Yugi to choose a sappy ride!"
Ryou objected, "It's not sappy, I like that idea!!"
Bakura chuckled, "Then I guess you and Yugi are too much alike, Hikari"
Icey beamed, "Nah, Bakura, it's not a bad idea. I mean, we DO need to wind down after the Bumper Cars and the Ferris wheel!!" She sneered at him slightly, emphasizing on the two words 'ferris wheel'. Bakura gave her an evil look she simply gave him a squeeze, "You look cute when you're angry"
From behind the group, Kaiba growled softly. "Baka onna..."
Bakura had enough time to conceal his blush and shake off Icey's grip. "Don't ever do that again, mortal, unless for some reason you wish to cut your life tragically short!!" He warned.
Icey stepped back, "Ok, ok sorry Bakura," Icey said sheepishly. She then turned to Joey and grabbed his arm, "Hey Joey, let's go!!" Without waiting for a reply she ran and sat into a boat.
Each one had to be shared with another person so Joey climbed in, it began rocking dangerously as he did. Icey grabbed hold of the sides,
"Watch it Joey!!!" She exclaimed.
Joey just grinned and started paddling on the pedals. Everyone else did the same.
"Feeling better?" Joey asked suddenly.
Icey looked up at him, confused. "What do you mean by that?"
Joey looked back at her, "Y'know about everything that's been going on..."
For some reason, anger sparked up from inside Icey, "I'm fine OK???!!! You don't have to worry about me!!!! I'M FULLY CAPABLE OF TAKING CARE OF MYSELF NOW SO JUST GIVE ME MY SPACE!!!!!"
Everyone looked up at the source of the screaming, completely stopping what they were doing. Joey silenced and turned to face the front again.
Icey regretted yelling at Joey, she didn't know why she had gotten so angry. He was just concerned for her that's all. "Joey..." She said softly.
He didn't face her, "What?" He asked coldly.
Icey cringed at his cold tone, "I'm sorry I yelled at you ok? I shouldn't have, I appreciate your concern ok? It's just," Icey shot a look over at Kaiba, "A lot of things have been happening that's all..." She trailed off, her amethyst eyes narrowed slightly.
Joey turned back to her, "Is there something ya need to share?" He asked.
Icey smiled uncertainly, "N-no...not really, it's ok. Really!" She said reassuringly, not sure if it sounded real enough.
"Well in case ya do," Joey began, slowly pulling her into his embrace, "I'm here for ya arite?"
Icey felt a heat rise in her cheeks, all she did was blink and breathe in Joey's cologne, "Uh...ok..."
Kaiba saw this and instantly adjusted the steering. He sped up and crashed into the two who were still hugging. And once again, the boat rocked dangerously. Mokuba was just downright confused by his brother's actions.
Joey turned to face Kaiba, "Geez Kaiba, watch where you're goin will ya???" He yelled.
Kaiba just smirked as his eyes came to rest on the somewhat tall blonde, "Oh I apologize, did I interrupt something?" He asked smugly diverting his attention to Icey, once his azure eyes came to rest on her face, his smirk faded.
Joey rolled his eyes, "Arite, let's go Ice, there's something I need to talk to you about anyway....something important..." Icey was sure he added in the last bit to anger Kaiba further but she wasn't sure.
She allowed Joey to take them back to shore and leave, her hand firmly clasped in his. Finally they came to a small secluded grassy area. Joey turned to face her.
"You have a thing for Mr. High and Mighty Kaiba don't you?" He asked without warning.
Icey said nothing in her defense, she didn't know anymore, her fringe covered her eyes.
"I might not know any girls who have the guts to actually love Kaiba but I can tell these things ok? I have a sister y'know" He explained. Icey still didn't reply, she could feel the tears well up in her eyes. Joey wasn't blind however, "But it's understandable, I know a lot of girls who have a crush on him at school...." He trailed off.
Icey fought her tears back, then looked up at Joey, "It's our little secret, ok Joey?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Icey's note: Whoa, ok this dragged on and on, literally, and I promise that'll be the last one, although I can't guarantee that...
Yami: Then why promise them?
Joey: A smart monkey never monkeys with another monkey's monkey!! ^-^
Yami: *Raises and eyebrow* Oooooooook that was random.....
Joey: Ants are not nice people!! ^-^
Yami and Icey: O.o
Yugi: ^^" Just review and we'll explain later.......or maybe not....
Icey: Ja mata ne

Ryou was pale as anything, sweating like hell and rocking back and forth while saying,
"Find a happy place, find a happy place, find a happy place..."
Everyone sweatdropped.

After the rollercoaster ride, the group stopped at the gate to the bumper cars of hell!!
"What is the object of this game pray tell?" Marik asked, watching the mayhem inside the ring. With what appeared to be fascination and glee.
Tristan grinned, "It's a game I think you and Bakura will both LOVE!! You just have to sit in the car, drive around and hit as many other cars as you possibly can!" He explained.
Marik's and Bakura's eyes lit up with excitement.

Yami groaned and pointed to the carts which were now almost all occupied by their friends. They were getting impatient too.

"Oh yeah?" He asked, "Just try it mate!!" Tristan hit the acceleration, only, he didn't move. Tristan panicked, Marik was closing in on him on one side and Bakura was on the other. "Oh crap...I always get the dud cars......" He muttered, right before impact.
Joey grinned, turning the steering wheel to ram into Mokuba, "Dwahahahahaha!!!" Was all Mokuba could hear apart from the ringing in his ears from the impact.
Kaiba smirked, "Hey Wheeler!!" He called. Joey turned his head to see Kaiba heading straight for him, "Don't hurt my brother!!" Kaiba said, before violently ramming into him. Joey sat with swirls in his eyes,
"Pretty stars..." He uttered.
Kaiba slapped his brother a high five as he drove past. Meanwhile, Bakura and Marik were planning their next attack. Bakura stared over at Tea and smirked evilly. Marik followed his gaze, his smirk mirrored Bakura's. The deadly team adjusted their steering and drove towards Tea....... And slammed her out of the game. (A/N: Thank GOD!!!!....LOL!! ^-^..Heh, don't ask...) Yugi and Ryou were peacefully driving around the course, staying out of the mayhem. It was like they were in their own little world amidst a World War. Too bad they were Bakura and Marik's next victims, as they headed off into the two little boy's direction. Bakura was taking the lead as his car was better. When he was almost there, Yami suddenly knocked his car off course, Yami grinned,
"To get to my Hikari you have to get past the King of Games!!" Yami challenged.
"Gladly," Bakura replied, following Yami's car closely.
However, this left an open opportunity to Marik. Marik sped towards the two Hikari's. Only to be hit by Icey and Malik, who were then hit by the Kaiba Brothers. Joey still sat in his car, the swirls repeatedly spinning around. Tristan and Tea got out of their cars to commentate.
"And here we have the 'Deadly Duo', consisting of the Bastard Bakura and the Malicious Marik. After them is the Courageous lone wolf, 'The King of Games'!!! But of course, how could we forget, the other not so courageous lone loser, 'Wheely Wheeler', who unfortunately is unconscious right now, courtesy of Seto Kaiba!! Up next is the incredibly amazing team, the....um...err... 'Incredibly Amazing Team', including the Intriguing Icey and the Marvelous Malik. Then we have the unbeatable 'Kaiba Brothers'!! And our last contestants are none other then, 'The Peace-loving Hikari's', the members of this team are of course, Yippin' Yugi and Ridiculous Ryou!!" (A/N: I'm sorry, don't hurt me!! I couldn't think of another adjective starting with 'R' for Ryou!!) Tristan turned to Tea, "And right here we have the Trippin' Tea, What's your opinion on this match so far Tea?" Tea stepped up to him.
"Well Tristan, I believe that the 'Deadly Duo' have the advantage in this match. With their love for destruction, you'd better steer clear!! The 'Kaiba Brothers' definitely have the most brains amongst all the teams, but is that enough? The 'Incredibly Amazing Team' have got skill with them, but they'll need more then that to win!! 'The King of Games' may stand alone, but don't take that as a weakness. 'Wheely Wheeler' is unable to battle at this point so I can't submit an opinion for him. And the 'Peace-loving Hikari's' will definitely lose unless they start attacking SOMETHING soon!!"
Meanwhile, inside the ring, this so called, 'battle' raged on. Bakura was every now and then ramming Yami from behind. Kaiba and Mokuba were busy scheming, all while kicking ass with style. Marik was trying to find some way to outsmart Icey and Malik.
"Die 'Incredibly Amazing Team'!!" Marik yelled, charging towards an unprepared Icey.
"I think not Marik!!" The Hikari yelled to his Dark, ramming him out of the way.
Yami sped past the three, Bakura was close behind.
"Keep trying Tomb robber!!" Yami teased turning his head to look at the white haired hottie (A/N: Tee hee, don't mind me, I think Bakura is DAMN hot!!! Who agrees with me???? ^o^)
"Yami look out!!!" Yugi suddenly yelled.
Confused, Yami turned back to the front, just in time to see the barrier around the edge of the ring. Yami crashed into it, sending him flying out of his car, and landing on the floor face first.
"Ooh, and 'The King of Games' has taken a rather nasty hit, and in conclusion, he is OUT of the match!!!" Tea announced.
Bakura slid to a stop beside the barrier,
"Nice move Ex-Pharaoh!!" He said smirking.
Yami didn't reply, even if he could. Bakura sniggered and drove off again to join Marik. Marik nodded to his partner, and once again, the two headed for another 'team', only to slow to a stop. Confused, Bakura blinked. (A/N: How cute would he look if he really did that??? ^-^)
"Oh and it appears that the ride is now over, the winner of this match was undecided!!" Tea said.
Marik and Bakura looked around, everyone else was getting off with disappointed groans. Marik pouted.
"It's not fair, I want more mayhem!!!!"
~*After tearing Marik away from his beloved Bumper Car*~
"FERRIS WHEEL FERRIS WHEEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Icey yelled pointing to the L-A-R- G-E white ferris wheel. It was beautifully decorated with lights on the side which flashed different patterns and colours, like a yin-yang, coloured swirls and even stars and what not. Bakura gritted his teeth, hiding behind a tree. This was something he was hoping they WOULDN'T do. Every now and then he stuck his head out from behind it, great, everyone was agreeing to Icey's decision. Yami smiled,
"That's a great idea, Icey!" He paused, sensing something behind him.
The others began walking off, leaving behind Yami. He turned to the source of the disturbance to see Bakura stick his head out from behind the tree again. Yami knelt down in front of him,
"What are you doing?" He asked.
Bakura stood up, "....N-nothing at all...." He replied, kicking a small stone with his shoe.
"Nothing eh.....?" Yami questioned, a sudden thought came to him. "You're afraid of heights aren't you, Bakura.....ne.....ne???"
Bakura sweatdropped, he gasped inwardly, sheepishly scratching the back of his head, "Who do you think I am Ex-Pharaoh??? Some loser who can't handle heights??? C'mon, what kind of loser do you take me for.....?"
~*Minutes later*~
Everyone had gotten into their carriage, everyone but Yami and Bakura,
"Where are they?" Tea asked.
Joey shrugged, it was then that Yami stepped in with a chibi Bakura firmly attached to his leg. Malik sweatdropped,
"You had to CARRY him on????" He asked raising an eyes brow.
"Damare!!!!(Translation- 'Shut up') You'd be scared of heights too if you were trapped in that ring for 5000 years!!!!!" Bakura objected, a smirk crept across his face, "At least I didn't get dumped by 15 girls in one day!!!!"
Malik clenched a fist, his face heated up slightly, "I did NOT get dumped!!!!"
Bakura stuck his tongue out at him, "Mwahahahaha, dumped dumped dumped!!!!!"
Malik tackled him to the ground.
"Children settle!!!" Tristan said in an authorotive voice.
Within minutes the carriage moved off. Bakura clung to his Hikari, cutting off the circulation to his right arm.
"Smile guys!!" Tea said, holding up her camera to include all her friends in one picture. They all struck a pose, and the camera let off a flash. This was a different camera, one of the old ones that develop pictures on the spot. The small white square slid out of the slot, Tea help it up for them to see. Marik noticed another him inside the picture.
"HEY WHAT'S THAT MARIK DOING IN THERE????? I'M THE REAL MARIK!!!! ME!!! HE'S AN IMPOSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He yelled leaping to his feet pointing to himself. The carriage swung back and forth dangerously.
"STOP IT!!!!!!!!!" Bakura yelled.
Tea sweatdropped, "Relax Marik!! It's only a photo!!"
Marik stopped his raving, "Huh??? Pho-to???" He wondered in amazement.
The others sweatdropped, like this --( ^-^"
"Stupid fool, you don't even know what a photo is..." Bakura muttered.
Marik heard this and lunged at Bakura, seconds later a screaming Bakura was being hung outside the carriage by his ankle, courtesy of Marik,
"Let go!!!!!!!!!!!" He yelled.
"Let go Bakura? I don't know why you want me to but alright!!" Marik replied and let go of his ankle.
"Marik!!!!" His Hikari scolded.
Pouting, the insane Yami took hold of Bakura's ankle again and brought him back in.
"It sure is nice up here," Mokuba said aimlessly.
"Yeah, and cold..." Icey said shivering.
Kaiba looked at her for a few seconds then looked away. Another movement triggered his attention back to Icey. Malik had his arm around her shoulders. A stress mark appeared on Kaiba's forehead, (A/N: You know the ones when anime characters get pissed off and this little thing shows up on their head? Yah, that's the one) He put his feet up on the seat opposite him right between Icey and Malik, forcing them to separate. Joey smothered a laugh. Finally, much to Bakura's enlightenment, the ride was over. With Kaiba keeping an eye on the whereabouts of a certain purple haired girl.
Yugi smiled at his friends, "How about something a little more relaxing, like the paddle boats?"
Tristan rolled his eyes, "Leave it to Yugi to choose a sappy ride!"
Ryou objected, "It's not sappy, I like that idea!!"
Bakura chuckled, "Then I guess you and Yugi are too much alike, Hikari"
Icey beamed, "Nah, Bakura, it's not a bad idea. I mean, we DO need to wind down after the Bumper Cars and the Ferris wheel!!" She sneered at him slightly, emphasizing on the two words 'ferris wheel'. Bakura gave her an evil look she simply gave him a squeeze, "You look cute when you're angry"
From behind the group, Kaiba growled softly. "Baka onna..."
Bakura had enough time to conceal his blush and shake off Icey's grip. "Don't ever do that again, mortal, unless for some reason you wish to cut your life tragically short!!" He warned.
Icey stepped back, "Ok, ok sorry Bakura," Icey said sheepishly. She then turned to Joey and grabbed his arm, "Hey Joey, let's go!!" Without waiting for a reply she ran and sat into a boat.
Each one had to be shared with another person so Joey climbed in, it began rocking dangerously as he did. Icey grabbed hold of the sides,
"Watch it Joey!!!" She exclaimed.
Joey just grinned and started paddling on the pedals. Everyone else did the same.
"Feeling better?" Joey asked suddenly.
Icey looked up at him, confused. "What do you mean by that?"
Joey looked back at her, "Y'know about everything that's been going on..."
For some reason, anger sparked up from inside Icey, "I'm fine OK???!!! You don't have to worry about me!!!! I'M FULLY CAPABLE OF TAKING CARE OF MYSELF NOW SO JUST GIVE ME MY SPACE!!!!!"
Everyone looked up at the source of the screaming, completely stopping what they were doing. Joey silenced and turned to face the front again.
Icey regretted yelling at Joey, she didn't know why she had gotten so angry. He was just concerned for her that's all. "Joey..." She said softly.
He didn't face her, "What?" He asked coldly.
Icey cringed at his cold tone, "I'm sorry I yelled at you ok? I shouldn't have, I appreciate your concern ok? It's just," Icey shot a look over at Kaiba, "A lot of things have been happening that's all..." She trailed off, her amethyst eyes narrowed slightly.
Joey turned back to her, "Is there something ya need to share?" He asked.
Icey smiled uncertainly, "N-no...not really, it's ok. Really!" She said reassuringly, not sure if it sounded real enough.
"Well in case ya do," Joey began, slowly pulling her into his embrace, "I'm here for ya arite?"
Icey felt a heat rise in her cheeks, all she did was blink and breathe in Joey's cologne, "Uh...ok..."
Kaiba saw this and instantly adjusted the steering. He sped up and crashed into the two who were still hugging. And once again, the boat rocked dangerously. Mokuba was just downright confused by his brother's actions.
Joey turned to face Kaiba, "Geez Kaiba, watch where you're goin will ya???" He yelled.
Kaiba just smirked as his eyes came to rest on the somewhat tall blonde, "Oh I apologize, did I interrupt something?" He asked smugly diverting his attention to Icey, once his azure eyes came to rest on her face, his smirk faded.
Joey rolled his eyes, "Arite, let's go Ice, there's something I need to talk to you about anyway....something important..." Icey was sure he added in the last bit to anger Kaiba further but she wasn't sure.
She allowed Joey to take them back to shore and leave, her hand firmly clasped in his. Finally they came to a small secluded grassy area. Joey turned to face her.
"You have a thing for Mr. High and Mighty Kaiba don't you?" He asked without warning.
Icey said nothing in her defense, she didn't know anymore, her fringe covered her eyes.
"I might not know any girls who have the guts to actually love Kaiba but I can tell these things ok? I have a sister y'know" He explained. Icey still didn't reply, she could feel the tears well up in her eyes. Joey wasn't blind however, "But it's understandable, I know a lot of girls who have a crush on him at school...." He trailed off.
Icey fought her tears back, then looked up at Joey, "It's our little secret, ok Joey?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Icey's note: Whoa, ok this dragged on and on, literally, and I promise that'll be the last one, although I can't guarantee that...
Yami: Then why promise them?
Joey: A smart monkey never monkeys with another monkey's monkey!! ^-^
Yami: *Raises and eyebrow* Oooooooook that was random.....

Yami and Icey: O.o
