Disclaimer: I neither own nor want to own Yu-gi-oh!...just be happy about the story...on we go!
The Adventures of Grandpa
Grandpa v. The Birds
It was a b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l spring day in the city of Domino. The sky was blue...the sun was bright...the birds were singing in the window above Kaiba's office...
"Stupid birds!!!!" Kaiba grumbled to himself as he continued to work on another duel monsters upgrade.
In the Game Shop...
Grandpa was sweeping his shop... as always.
"Why doesn't Yugi ever help me with this kind of thing?" Grandpa wondered out loud, "Doesn't he care that I'm an old man with a bad back?!"
A multitude of birds had settled in the tree in front of Grandpa's shop. They chirped loudly as they watched Grandpa through the window...everything was JUST right...
"I've found a perfect place for a nesting spot...what do you think? That hideous orange bandana could be useful..." said the male bird to his mate.
"Yes it IS hideous!" the female agreed, "but it will have to do..." All the other birds agreed that the shop would make a perfect nesting ground. They waited until Grandpa's back was turned...
"What is that noise?" Grandpa stopped his sweeping and SLOWLY turned around...
Just in time to see a throng of birds take flight and head straight...for the door of the Game Shop.
"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Grandpa's eyes bulged and he turned to run, but it was too late to stop the birds. They swarmed into his store, upsetting stacks of duel monster cards and flinging feathers everywhere. They settled on the newly scrubbed floor and shelves...on the counters...and on Grandpa's head.
Outside the Game Shop
"I hope Grandpa's not too angry that I didn't help him clean up the shop today. Oh well, at least this cake I baked in home ec. should make him happy," Yugi smiled at the pink cake proudly. It really was a masterpiece – covered with delicate red roses and frilly yellow ribbons. Yugi had gotten the top grade in the WHOLE class for it.
As he approached the shop, Yugi noticed that something was a bit off about it...perhaps it was the profound silence outside...or the emptiness of the usually bird-filled sky...or the wide open door of the Game Shop...but something was definitely different today.
Yugi quickened his pace and entered the Game Shop at a run...and froze in his tracks.
At first, he couldn't discern anything – feathers filled the air inside the shop, but there was a dark shape lying on the floor in the middle of the room.
"Oh no! Has Grandpa been cleaning out the attic again?" thought Yugi in distress "He knows he shouldn't go up there by himself."
"Grandpa! Where are you? Do you need any help?" He shouted, trying to see through the haze of feathers. But then he realized that those weren't feathers...they were birds! Everywhere, they were covering the shop from top to bottom, and suddenly, Yugi realized exactly what that thing on the floor was.
"Grandpa!!!" He shouted frantically, dropping the pink, now feather-covered cake on the floor and rushing over to Grandpa's side.
"Help me, Yugi" Grandpa said, sounding exactly like he did after Pegasus had trapped him in a duel monster card.
"Grandpa! What happened to you? And where's your bandana?" Yugi asked with concern.
"Yugi...there's no time to explain...but you know what to do...believe in yourself. And more importantly, believe in the heart of the nets!" With that, Grandpa fell into a stupor, muttering "The birds...the birds..." over and over...
"The nets? Grandpa? Grandpa?!" Yugi cried in dismay
"Of course! The butterfly nets in the attic!" Yami exclaimed "To the attic, Yugi!"
Yugi rushed up to the attic, grabbed the nets and proceeded to run around the shop, chasing all the birds outside and stepping on Grandpa numerous times in the process.
20 minutes later
Finally, all the birds were gone. So was grandpa's bandana.
Yugi sighed with relief and collapsed...right onto the cake...although he didn't realize it.
"Next time, Grandpa, c-l-o-s-e the door" Yugi said, with just a hint of annoyance in his voice.
Grandpa, who was just getting up, nodded his head in agreement and picked up his broom.
"Too bad about my bandana," He sighed, "But don't think it's over! Revenge will be mine!" He cried, waving the broom over his head. "Now, time to clean up, Yugi. Grab a broom!"
Yugi stood up, turned toward the broom closet and saw his cake...or what was left of it.
"NOOOOOO!!!!! My beautiful cake! It's ruined! All ruined!" He collapsed to the ground, weeping and tearing at his multicolored hair in despair. "How will I ever become a culinary chef if I destroy my creations?!"
Grandpa glanced at Yugi nervously and quietly crept out of the room, conveniently leaving his broom within easy reach of Yugi.
THE END
