Yuugi – "quoted" (out loud)

Yami- italisized (thinking)

Anyone else - /back slashed/ (out loud) arrow if two-sided person

Hello again! I have been given many ideas through my reviews. Thankies! This one was inspired by CHAOS-CHICK3. I will mention the 'idea-givers' names at the beginning of each chapter (if that is what you call a part of a no plot and never ending story) [cough, cough]. So far, Ryou and Bakura are still in the same body and same with Malik and Yami Malik. Um, Yami Malik has not really appeared yet, and, errrr... here he is! Read on and review with ideas.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------

Mmmmmm, the fresh, clean smell of chlorine in your nostrils. Yuugi always seemed to love the sensation that gave him a false high. He stepped out onto the sun-baked cement and skipped over to a place he thought suitable for his towel. After strapping on his bright pink fins and matching goggles ensemble, Yuugi approached the pool.

Uh, aibo. Yami half-scram half-warned. Do not go into that oversized puddle! There could be water snakes in there.

Yuugi just shrugged it off with a simple, "Oh, Yami," and continued on to the slide. Once he had climbed the winding steps, Yuugi found Jouno, Yami Malik, and Bakura at the top. They all seemed to be yelling at each other about something.

/Come, you know it's fun! Just try goin' down. It's even funner to slide down on your stomach,/ Jounouchi said as he pointed to his 2-pack abs.

I refuse to go down that contraption. I am only up here so I can be higher than everyone else. Yami Malik grumbled at his high position atop a chair.

Oh, you know it will be fun. Bakura sneered. Then, with one swift move, he whipped Yami Malik over the edge of the slide. He let out a yell as he began his backward descent. Yuugi heard something about 'curse you Ra' then followed by a splash.

/Your turn!/ Jouno said and then shoved Bakura into the slide. But, like a hand rising from the grave, Bakura grabbed Jounouchi's swim trunks and pulled him down to a similar fate. Yuugi quickly followed.

At the bottom, Yami Malik sat at the pool's edge with his usually spiky hair reduced to a wet lump. Jouno was doggy paddling in place waving to Yuugi. Suddenly, Bakura lunged out of the water taking Jouno into its murky depths. Everyone just watched as bubbles rose to the surface. Finally, Jouno returned and frantically swam away. Bakura emerged from the water with a hunk of blond hair in his hand. He climbed the ladder, sat down next to Yami Malik, and triumphantly stated, No one pushes me.

With that, Yami Malik knocked Bakura back into the pool and replied, Me neither. And then, he returned to trying to pull his hair back up into spikes. Bakura just splashed him and dived beneath the depths. Yuugi shook his head, knowing that he was going to find more victims.

On the other side of the pool, Rishido calmly lied on his floating inner tube. Seto jumped in next to him and flipped him over. Rishido hit the water and stood up yelling, /Ah, my eyes burn! The gods are punishing me!/ Seto jumped onto the tube, flicked out sunglasses from nowhere, assumed a sun bathing position, and began to float away.

Bakura showed up out of nowhere and moaned, I wanted that tube. Seto, give it back.
/There's one over there, loser,/ Seto answered. Bakura jumped out of the pool and put on the floatation device. Pop! Sssss... Bakura looked down to see a hole right next to one of his ring's spikes. He sighed and chucked the deflated piece of rubber back at Seto.

Yuugi got bored watching this scene and made his way to the diving board. After a couple cannon balls and belly flops, he got tired and sat down near the water. Honda shouted, /Come on everyone, watch the master at work./ He leapt off the diving board and made a perfect dive.

Yami uttered, I could do that, but then shuttered at the thought of being in the water again. Yuugi smiled to himself.

Honda returned to the top of the diving board lightly touching his fingers. /Damn, I dropped my ring somewhere. I'll have to go look for it at the bottom./ He once again dived in. Honda reappeared with a mass of muck in his hand. /I didn't find my ring,/ he said with disgust, /but I found this clogging up the filter at the bottom./ He plopped the lump on the side of the water and people came over to take a look. It was a wad of tri- colored hair. Anzu looked over to Yuugi.

/Um, Yuugi, do you have an allergy to chlorine?/

/I don't know, why?/ Then, everyone stared at his head. He had random bald patches all over his scalp.

/Eh, no reason,/ she quickly said in response.

Yuugi glanced at his watch, noticing that he had to be home soon. He grabbed everything and headed out. He began to walk the street that led him to his house. Yami not knowing how to gently put this, asked, Yuugi, you like me right?

"Of course Yami," Yuugi said with a way hyper tone and matching grin.

Well, can we stop by the drug store to get some Rogaine?

There you go. Um, bye!
