T.G.I.F.
The blonde haired girl hopped off of the school bus, fox tail wagging and sky blue eyes shining in the afternoon sun. Her fluffy golden fox tail was tipped in white and so were her overly huge fennec fox ears. Under each of her eyes on her cheeks was a purple Z-shaped marking. Her blonde hair, which was put up high in a rainbow ponytail holder, had white tips and she was wearing a pair of faded blue jeans and a yellow "Dragonball Z" T-shirt with the Capsule Corporation logo on the front and a picture of Trunks on the back. She was wearing two belts, a watch, a charm bracelet, white and blue tennis shoes, sky blue ball shaped earrings, black half-fingered gloves, and a gold Egyptian ankh necklace. She was 5' 1 ½'' tall.
"Hurry up, y'all! Let's get our homework done!" The seventeen year-old shouted happily as she crossed the small country street and checked the mail. A 6' 2'' eighteen year-old boy with long blue hair, blue eyes, large muscles, black boots, baggy pants, and a tight muscle shirt that showed off his eight pack followed her with his hands crossed behind his head.
"Man, do we HAVE to, Ryoko?" He asked her.
"Hoofamon, I only have a few geometry problems to do. No sweat. I'll be done in less than fifteen minutes," Ryoko replied as she flipped through the mail and began walking up the long gravel driveway. Hoofamon shuddered at the mentioning of his least favorite school subject.
"She complicated circles... HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO COMPLICATE CIRCLES?!" He demanded, kicking the gravel as he shuffled along behind Ryoko. "Stupid Mrs. Wallace..."
"Apparently radii and diameters have measurements that all lead up to the circumference," quipped another blonde girl. This girl was taller than Ryoko by 2 and ½ inches. Unlike Ryoko, this girl was a bit more buxom, but still quite small around the waist. Her eyes were the same as Ryoko's and her hair was down and looked similar to the Dark Magician Girl's. She appeared to be the same age as Ryoko. She was dressed in a white T-shirt with the words "Foxxy" printed across it in lavender, khaki shorts, purple and white tennis shoes, silver half-fingered gloves, and a silver Egyptian ankh choker.
"Shut up, Kenyamon! I'm scarred enough as it is that we've got homework on a Friday!" Hoofamon argued.
"If only you would pay attention in class instead of sleeping, then maybe you would not be so confused," said a second eighteen year-old boy. He was an inch shorter than Hoofamon, but just as well muscled. His white hair was short, shaggy, and spiky and sharply contrasted with his deep black eyes. He wore a beanie on his head to hide his pierced cat ears and a large jacket tied around his waist to hide his fluffy cat tail. Because he had the legs of a cat, his feet were covered with black socks. He seemed to have an ancient, mystical aura about him. He was dressed in baggy blue jeans and a white T-shirt. In a flash, Hoofamon had him in a headlock.
"You can keep your mouth shut for all I care, Shinmon," Hoofamon threatened as he gave his friend a power noogie. Tears were in Shinmon's eyes as he struggled to get free.
"I apologize!" Shinmon said.
"Not good enough, you have to say uncle!" Hoofamon replied.
"Uncle, UNCLE!!!" Shinmon cried. Hoofamon released him, dusting his black bowling gloves on his shirt.
"That's what I thought, you mangy cat."
"JABBERWOKIE!!!" Cried Kenyamon as she tackled Hoofamon to the ground. Shinmon sweatdropped as Hoofamon attempted to push his hyper half-sister off of him.
"That is the last time that I allow her to eat Skittles after eating the cafeteria's brownies," Shinmon said nervously.
"ASSHOLE!!!"
"BITCH!!!"
"BASTARD!!!"
"DUMBASS!!!" Everyone turned as Sin and Plague walked down the driveway, arguing and shouting insults in each other's faces. They never got along. Hoofamon leaned against the fence rail, one eye on the two foul-mouthed teens and the other closed, his arms crossed behind his head.
"Are they arguing over the fact that Plague mixed nitro in a Coke bottle and threw it at him?" He asked lazily.
"Either that or because Sin slammed Plague's head into every single locker door they passed today going to English after lunch," added Kenyamon. Ryoko twitched her tail.
"Guys, please stop fighting," she begged.
"ASS MAGGOT!!!" Shouted Plague.
"I'd rather be an ass maggot than a maggot's ass," the Goth samurai answered coolly. Hoofamon sweatdropped.
"They invent new words," he said.
"Will this turn into World War III?" Asked Shinmon.
"Nah, we've already had that. I think this will be World War XXXXIII," replied Kenyamon.
"I'll take away your pickles," Ryoko warned. Plague rounded on her hikari.
"Are you threatening me?" She asked.
"No, it's a promise, yami," Ryoko replied. Plague glowered. She hated it when Ryoko threatened to take her pickles away. Plague was 5' 9'' and had spiky aqua green hair tied back in a blue ribbon with rainbow beads. The seventeen year-old's bangs spiked out everywhere and her eyes were red. She had black markings on the corners of her eyes that curved under them like Malik Ishtar's. Black tattoos were on her torso and arms and her nails were painted black. She had a brown belt, black hose, black knee-high boots with buckles, and blue jean shorts that had two purple tails sewn onto the back pockets with a strange black symbol bedecked on the ends. A red strapless bikini style top revealed her tattoos, the so-called "shirt" trimmed in yellow and a chain hanging down in the front. She wore a long, red, sleeveless jacket and red arm warmers with black half-fingered gloves. Skinny black belts with silver studs wrapped around both of her arms. Like Ryoko, she had fox ears and a tail, only hers were different. Her tail was silver with a white tip and had a crest of white hair going down the center. Her ears were colored the same with white tufts of hair inside of her ears and on the tips. Blue wave crest patterns decorated the outside of her ears and she had four piercings in each.
"Now, what was your cussing fit over?" Ryoko asked.
"He cheated in a game of Duel Monsters," Plague accused. Sin grunted.
"Only the weak minded accuse others of cheatery when they themselves were the ones who did the cheating," Sin said.
"Screw you!" Plague growled. Kenyamon counted off on her fingers.
"He said eighteen words! That's a record!" She squealed.
"Sin won, then?" Shinmon asked.
"He THINKS that he won because the dumb bastard cheated," Plague seethed.
"If I'm dumb, then how could I have won?" Sin asked. Plague fumed and pulled out her grenade launcher, the "K12 Asskicker."
"GOTH ASSHOLE!!!" She spat. Sin smirked cockily.
"Damn straight I am," he said. Ryoko grabbed Plague's weapon.
"Plague, be nice! Fighting won't solve anything," Ryoko scolded. Plague pouted as Sin grunted smugly. He was 6' 5'' and his well-toned body's muscles were slightly larger than that of Shinmon's and Hoofamon's. His ice blue eyes were cold and his long, black, silky hair reached the back of his knees. A scar ran diagonally from under his right eye to his forehead. The mysterious and handsome nineteen year-old Gothic samurai was dressed in chains, belts, leather pants, and a tight leather shirt much like Hoofamon's with a red cross and buckles decorating the front of it. His ears had countless piercings and his left forearm and hand were wrapped black gauze. He carried a black jagged-edged katana with him. Not much was known about his past. In fact, nothing was known about him other than the fact that he was a ronin.
"Can I have my weapon back, now?" Plague asked. Ryoko shook her head.
"Ask nicely," she replied.
"Gimme my damn weapon!" Plague demanded. Ryoko shot her an intense stare, causing Plague's eye to twitch. "Can I PLEASE have my weapon?" She asked. Ryoko smiled.
"That's better. As long as you don't use it," she said, handing the grenade launcher back to Plague.
"That was a fatal mistake," Kenyamon observed. Ryoko shifted through the mail once more and squealed in delight, causing Hoofamon to jump.
"What the heck?!" Hoofamon shouted. Ryoko held up part of the mail.
"I got my new horse magazine!" She chimed. Everyone facefell. "Now come on, I've got homework and 'Yu-Gi-Oh!' is coming on! T.G.I.F. indeed!"
Yugi Mutou was walking down the street towards his grandfather's game shop. The sky was a brilliant blue and he was musing over what a peaceful day it was when his thoughts were interrupted.
"Hey, Yug!" Yugi, startled, turned around and smiled as Joey ran up to him.
"What's up, Joey?" He asked.
"Tristan wanted me to tell you that the gang's gonna be meetin' at Burger World here in about an hour. Wanna come?" Asked Joey. Yugi's face lit up.
"Sure! Who all's gonna be there?" He asked. Joey counted off on his fingers.
"Lessee here... Me, Tristan, Téa, Mai, Duke, Serenity, Bakura, and Malik," he stated.
"Sounds great! I'll be there!" Yugi answered. Joey grinned.
"Great! See ya around!" He said before running off.
"Bye, Joey!" Yugi shouted, waving after his friend. Yugi ran into the game shop. "Hi, Grandpa!" He greeted. Solomon Mutou looked up from the newspaper that he had been reading.
"Hi, Yugi. Good day?" He asked as Yugi opened the door to the back part of the store that served as their living quarters.
"Yeah, but I'm sure glad that it's Friday," he said cheerfully.
"I agree. It's been a long week," Solomon replied. "Do you have any homework?" He asked.
"I just have to read a few pages in my biology book, that's all," Yugi stated. "Everyone's gonna meet at Burger World in about an hour to hang out, so I was planning on going after I read." Solomon smiled.
"That's fine," he said.
"I'll be in my room if you need me," Yugi said as he went up to his room. He closed his door and threw his book bag onto his bed and took out his biology book. As he sat down at his desk and opened the book to the page that he was supposed to start reading, Yami Yugi appeared.
"How many pages must you read?" He asked as he sat down on the bed.
"Only ten," Yugi replied, his eyes moving up and down as he read the Japanese text. Yami cocked an eyebrow.
"Is that all?" The Egyptian spirit asked.
"I'm a fast reader, so it'll be no problem for me," Yugi answered as he turned the page.
"What's the occasion for the get together?" Yami asked.
"I guess it's to celebrate the start of the weekend, as usual," Yugi answered, glancing over at his yami. Yami Yugi nodded ever so slightly and his purple gaze studied the Millennium Puzzle around his neck. He was silent until Yugi finished reading. The Domino High student closed his book and stood up. He looked at the clock. It was 5:20. It had only taken him eight minutes to read. It would take him twenty minutes to get to Burger World. He decided that he would leave in ten minutes in order to get there early. Yami looked up as Yugi crossed the room and picked up his dueling deck and shuffled through it.
"What's on your mind?" Yami asked.
"Ever since Battle City, things have changed," said Yugi. He stopped shuffling and stared at the Red Eyes Black Dragon card that Joey had given him. "Remember when Malik took control of Joey's mind?" He asked. Yami nodded. "My friends stood by me. You were always there to help me out, Yami. I'll never forget everything that you've done for me. You're a great friend," he said with a smile. Yami smiled back.
"The love of our friends is stronger than anything," Yami stated. Yugi nodded and pocketed his deck.
"Battle City was over four months ago. Malik, Isis, and Rashid went back to Egypt for a while---and then they decided to move here into that big apartment complex down the street," Yugi explained. "Since then, we've become great friends. I've forgiven him for all of the things that he's done. What about you?" Yami thought for a moment before answering.
"I had a harder time, but I forgave him," he replied. Yugi glanced at the clock. It was now 5:30. He grabbed his jacket.
"Well, looks like it's time to go," observed Yugi. His yami nodded and rejoined Yugi's body. Turning off the bedroom light, Yugi headed down the stairs. "I'll be back at around 8:30, Grandpa!" He called as he opened the door.
"Alright, be safe and have a good time!" Solomon shouted. Yugi waved.
"I will!" Yugi said as the door closed behind him. He walked down the street and soon broke into a run. He was so excited! He could not wait to hang out with his friends!
