"Ninty nine bottles of beer on the wall, ninety nine bottles of BEEE-
"
"SHUT UP!" Kaiba yelled, finally cracking. "You three have sung that damn song THREE TIMES now! Can't we have silence for at least FIVE MINUTES?! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?" Turning, he glared at the three offenders in the back seat.
"Such language, Kaiba!" Marik retorted, looking sternly down his nose. Putting his arm around the girl beside him, he grinned. "There are ladies present!"
Bakura, pushing Marik's arm off and replaced it with his own, looked around, shock on his handsome face. "Ladies, really? Unless, of course, you were referring to yourself..."
"Why you..."
"Enough, boys." Josie sat forward, pushing Bakura's arm away. She winked at Kaiba. "Go back to work, dear. If it bothers you that much, we can sing something else..." Taking a deep breath, she began, "Ninty nine bottles of COKE on the wall, ninety nine bottles of COKE!"
Kaiba groaned as the other two joined in with her, Bakura's base and Marik's lighter tenor ringing through the car.
Swearing softly, he decided that, next stop, he was going to switch with someone in the other car. Joey Wheeler or not, if he was stuck with these obnoxious morons much longer, he would go completely insane.
Morgan, behind the wheel, glanced sympathetically at him. She knew what he must be going through. She, at least, was used to it, she had to LIVE with it. He was used to the quiet of a business office. "We should stop soon," she told him, wincing as the trio continued at "Eighty Six bottles of COKE on the wall..."
"Dude, I gotta use the can!"
Mai glared at Joey through the rear-view mirror. "Already?!"
Tristan smacked the back of Joey's head from the vintage position of right behind him in the backseat of the van. "What did I tell you about drinking all those sodas before we got going?"
"C'mon, guys, don't fight." Yugi piped from somewhere between Tristan and Duke. "We have to spend the weekend together, let's not start it off badly..."
"Yugi's right!" Tea agreed from the passenger seat next to Mai. "You guys work it out."
"Yeah, but that doesn't change the fact that I gotta PEE!"
Serenity smiled at her brother. "Don't worry, Joey, I'm sure we can stop at the next exit."
At the gas station, the thirteen of them got out. They were all there: Mokuba, dragging Kaiba along with him, Tristan, Duke, Serenity, Yugi, Tea, Mai, Marik, Morgan, Josie, Joey, and Bakura. Summer vacation had finally come, and they, in celebration of successfully (with the exeption of a few classes of Joey's) passing another grade, decided to go to an island chain somewhere off the coast for a couple of days. It was supposed to be a pleasant trip, where they could hang out, meet people, and get sunburned. But, in vacation as in anything else, things don't normally go as planned.
Which is what they were about to find out.
