Disclaimer: *My friend Ashmo (Ashley) and I are standing on a table while being attacked by rabid lawyers. Ashmo and I have whips and chairs trying to defend ourselves.*
Me: *Cracks whip* Get back!! Get back!! *Lawyers get even more restless at the sound of the whip*
Me: This really is not working. What the hell do I have to do to get rid of them? *Throws the whip aside*
Ashmo: Sweetcandie already said that she didn't own Yugioh, Little Debbie, Hershey, Follow the Leader, which is a great reggae and party song that you all should listen to… and the Roof on Fire Mix. What more do you want? *Kicking the lawyers to prevent them from gnawing on her leg. Twelve of the lawyers leave, but 38 remain*
Ashmo: *Spraying mace as she talks* But Sweetcandie does own the plot, Jed and Martha, and all of the other messed up characters in the story. Oh yeah Sweetcandie and I own all the weird, retarded, slow, and offensive shit that the characters say, so uh make all comments and flames to us. There, is that what you want me to say. *Lawyers are still there* Money hungry bastards!
Sweetcandie: *Smacks Ashley on the forehead* I don't want flames you idiot.
Ashmo: Sorry.
Me: Ashley we have to use the last resort. I hoped that it didn't have to come to this.
Ashmo: *Horrified face* No Sweetcandie, not that.
Me: Yes Ashmo that. *Clears throat* Ashmo and I attend FAMU!!!!!!! *The echo stops and all the lawyers eyes grow wide. They start clawing and biting trying to get away from us. Ashmo and I hear numerous obscenities as the lawyers leave, until only one is left (because he has been mercilessly crushed by the other lawyers).
Lawyer: Damn broke ass school.
Thought you guys could use a little humor before the story. Everyone needs a good laugh every now and then. Oh yeah I am referring to Pegasus as Pegasus J. Crawford in this story. I made a mistake and put Max in the first chappie, maybe I'll get around to correcting that later. (Or maybe not, actually probably not.) That's so everyone can be referred to by first name. Also when Ryou curses he is as calm as hell. In this story cursing is like talking for Ryou so it won't be unusual or anything. Now you guys just enjoy the chappie.
Malik pulled the covers over his head as a bright light attacked his eyes.
"Damn shiny son of a bitch." Malik said as he shielded his eyes against the bright light with his hand. "Go back behind the clouds, go back."
"Malik get up you moron, that's not the sun it's a lamp and you sound like a sick vampire."
"What kind of lamp is that? It's bright as hell."
"Come on Malik, Martha is ringing the morning bell and we have to be ready to start work."
"Well wake me up when she stops."
"Get your dumb ass up and come on." Malik sat on the edge of the bed and stretched before getting up.
"I can't stand little short shits." Malik grumbled incoherently as went to his suitcase and pulled out something to wear. Pulling on his shirt Malik mumbled, "She better make it worth me getting up."
"I'm pretty sure she has breakfast. And I'm not short." Malik cleared his throat and added more emphasis to his previous statement,
"She better make it worth me getting up. So you are just shit then." Yugi frowned, not even wanting to get into an argument at such an hour, so he settled for talking about Martha's cooking.
"Okay so her food isn't the best."
"Don't be so fucking modest. That shit sucks."
"Well at least you are eating."
"You actually ate that crap. Even that Pegasus guy dumped his in the garbage."
"No, but you get used to a lot of experiments when you eat my Grandpa's cooking…"
"Okay I understand, no need to explain. I have seen his cooking and it's not kosher at all. I guess if you can survive that you can survive anything, but I'm still not taking any chances." Yugi giggled and finished buttoning up his shirt while Malik pulled on his pants and laced his shoes. When they were finished dressing both walked out of their room, heading toward the noise of the bell.
"What the hell is all that fucking racket?" Ryou said groggily as he stopped to listen to the sound of the morning bell. Hearing Martha yell something about getting up, he sighed and flopped back on the bed that he and Mokuba shared. "Can't she see a bitch is trying to sleep? Damn clanging ass bell."
"Ryou, big brother says that you have a potty mouth." Mokuba said through a yawn, his face still nestled in the pillow.
"Yeah so the fuck does he. Get up, we have to get ready."
"But I don't want to get up yet, big brother usually lets me sleep in."
"Well next time you sign somebody up for some damn community service read what the shit entails and do I look like your brother?"
"No."
"So what do you think my response is going to be to what you just said?" Ryou questioned while running his hands through his hair. Mokuba looked as though he was thinking then cleared his throat as if he was about to make a speech.
"I don't really give a damn, now get your little spiky haired ass up and get dressed." Mokuba said grumbling into the pillow.
"You learn so fast, now come on let's go."
"It is so hot." Pegasus sat up in the bed, his gray wife beater (wife beaters are the undershirts that the guys wear under their suits. If you didn't know, that's what we call them down here in the dirty south) sticking to his back and his crimson boxers clinging to his legs. Pegasus listened to the bell and shoved Seto who had taken up most of the bed. "Why did I have to share a room with you?"
"Because I'm the devil and you are in hell, so deal with it." Seto sat up shoving the other man back and fanning himself with his hand. "At least you were right about something, it is hot."
"I bet if they throw a newspaper in here the print would melt and the paper would combust." Pegasus groaned as he walked to the new bag that Croquet had dropped off after he called and asked (begged for the fear of wearing Jed's clothes) for more casual clothing. Pegasus pulled out a pair of blue jeans, socks, and a white tee, leaving the bag to grab the sneakers Croquet brought with the clothes.
"Something normal people would actually wear." Seto commented as he pulled on a pair of jeans and a loose shirt.
"I hate this. I was taught to dress my best at all times."
"You must have been going through rough times during Duelist Kingdom then. That suit was hortrocious."
"Don't you mean atrocious and my suit was fine."
"No I said it right it was a mix of horrible and atrocious." Pegasus rolled his eyes and pulled the sneakers onto his feet.
"What about that huge trench coat you are always wearing. It looks like a train on a dress to me. Maybe you could get Mokuba to hold it up for you while you walk down the aisle."
"Yeah well at least my stuff is from this century." Pegasus having enough of Seto's comments finished tying his shoes and left the brunet in the room alone.
"This going to be great." Seto said as he followed the other out of the room seconds later.
It was five in the morning and everyone was up sitting at the breakfast table. Martha placed food in front of everyone and they all began to eat (no wait scratch that, put food in their mouths, hold it under their tongues, and then spit it in their napkins when she wasn't looking, yeah that sounds about right)
"It's nice to have a full breakfast before working on the farm." Jed commented as he put some MUCK (Martha's Unidentified Cooked Krap, yes people it is so bad I had to spell crap with a K dammit) in his mouth. The crew nodded dumbly and smiled through pursed lips, once again turning to the side to spit it out. Pegasus being one of the smarter ones smeared his food all over his plate to make it look like he had eaten most of it, (I think everyone has done this before, I know I have. I shall not tell a lie) and the others followed suit, pushing what looked like orange scrambled eggs, weird shaped pieces of ham, extra runny grits, and a biscuit dry enough to crumble, to the edges of the plate. When they were finished, Jed called them all outside to introduce them to the two new helpers that they would be getting.
"I want you boys to get acquainted with some good buddies of mine. They are going to be helpin' y'all out these couple of weeks." Jed stopped talking and turned toward the barn. "Sam! Jake!"
"Oh great more weird people I…" Pegasus trailed off as he heard two quick barks and then nothing. Thinking that it just his imagination Pegasus went to continue. "Weird people…" But he was interrupted once again by more barks, these he was positive were not his imagination. "Y-you have dogs? Was that b-barking I heard?" Pegasus asked Jed quickly, as he slowly backed away to the house.
"Yeah we have two, Sam and Jake."
"No you don't."
"Uh, yeah we do."
"Uh, no you don't." Pegasus' slow backing away to the house turned into a mad sprint as he entered the back screen door and closed it, his eyes shifting from side to side.
"What's the matter with you Pegasus?" Mokuba asked as he watched Pegasus shiver behind the door.
"Oh nothing, just that I am extremely afraid of dogs!"
"Ha Pegasus is a wuss. Scared of a couple of mangy mutts." Seto commented while laughing at the other CEO.
"Quiet Seto."
"Uppity bastard. You can't even insult me the right way."
"Why you… you animal. I shall not descend to your level of ignorance."
"Did you just insult me? I'm sorry, but I don't speak gentleman, that's reserved for white haired pansies, eh Pegasus."
"Well I never."
"What, got laid? Maybe you should try it sometime, you wouldn't be so stiff." Pegasus gave up trying to think of a comeback, knowing that Seto would have another insult waiting for him. As Seto and Pegasus exchanged insults, Pegasus failed to notice the two Border Collies that came behind him and sat down. The black spotted collies were wagging their tails, waiting for their master's call and Jed did not disappoint them.
"Jake! Sam!" Both dogs barked and Pegasus screamed like a frightened female, all the while nearly dying of a heart attack. (I would like to make it end right there, but you know that would not be really hilarious… so I shall continue) The two dogs jumped up and Pegasus tore the screen door down as he tried to get away from the dogs, the door coming off its hinges and Pegasus clawing holes in the screen. Pegasus got up from the porch, the dogs still chasing him and ran into the field, screaming for help as he flew past the crew.
"Get the dogs! Please! Oh my God…" Pegasus didn't get to finish his sentence as one of the dogs jumped him from behind, knocking him over, and both started licking and nuzzling him. Pegasus shrieked again, picking himself up from the ground and continued running through the field, tripping and falling frequently. Pegasus must have been on the track team in his earlier years because he jumped the wooden fence like it was a small hurdle, the dogs sailing over behind him. Pegasus continued to scream for help as he ran blindly, but at full speed, into the tire on the side of a tractor, falling onto his back and going unconscious. (Boy I really trashed Pegasus's character a little too much, so I'll take a brief recess and return to the main group ^__~)
Seto and the others were not helping a hysterical Pegasus, instead they were laughing beyond belief. They could not believe that someone like Pegasus could be afraid of dogs. Seto was nearly having an asthma attack and he didn't even have asthma. (Damn that is some serious laughing) Jed was trying to call the dogs back, but they ignored him and Mokuba had fell to the ground from lack of air, along with Malik and Yugi, both whom were crying and panting trying to catch their breaths. The only person who seemed to be concerned was Ryou, who had long ago stopped laughing when he saw Pegasus fall to the ground after hitting the tire (What the hell did I come back to the group for? They aren't even helping poor Pegasus. Seems that Ryou is the only one with some type of sense. Oh what the hell, Ryou's going to bitch at them anyway, so I'm happy).
"You guys, Pegasus isn't moving." Ryou said mostly to himself.
"Wha…?" Seto managed to choke out, as he calmed down from his fit. Ryou, hating to repeat himself, yelled back,
"I said Pegasus isn't moving you fucking idiots!" Malik stopped laughing and stood up next to Seto.
"Do you have to be so mean all the time and so what?" Ryou, grinding his teeth, grabbed his head and began massaging his temples.
"Let me break it down for you retards, if Pegasus is afraid of dogs that much don't you think he would be trying to get away, instead of laying on the field?" Ryou gave the two young men a sarcastic smile and then gave them the 'duh' look.
"Ohhh." Seto and Malik said in unison as Ryou walked toward Pegasus' fallen body in the field.
"Dumb shits." Ryou whispered under his breath, before calling to the others to help him see what was wrong with the Industrial Illusions CEO.
When they reached Pegasus' body, the young man was sprawled out, with his face leaning to the side.
"Mokuba go to the house and tell Martha to give you some water." Mokuba nodded to Jed and ran into the house to get the water. "I didn't know the boy was afraid of dogs. Didn't any of ya know?"
"No, we just found out like you did."
"That was funny as hell though."
"Shut up Seto." Ryou said as he bent down beside Pegasus. Mokuba had come back with a pail of water and a worried Martha, who occasionally looked at her back screen door quizzically.
"What happened Jed?"
"The boy was afraid of Sam and Jake." Jed indicated to Pegasus as he splashed the water on the CEO's face. "Martha take the dogs in the house, hon." Martha called the dogs and took them away before Pegasus had fully woken up. When Pegasus began to return to consciousness, all he could see were masses that resembled faces staring over him. Pegasus listened to the conversation going on as he slowly pulled himself to full awareness.
"Is he alright?" (What Pegasus heard and his thoughts: "Blah blah blah." …)
"I think he hit his head." (What Pegasus heard and his thoughts: "Blah blah blah." Ow my head, damn tire.)
"No shit Sherlock. Malik you have got to be the dumbest fuck around." (What Pegasus heard and his thoughts: "Blah shit Sherlock. Malik blah blah blah dumbest fuck blah." Ryou is angry; I might need to stay unconscious.)
"Maybe we should bring the dogs back out." Seto laughed. (What Pegasus heard and his thoughts: "Bla… Dogs!" Get up Pegasus get up. Find some motivation to get up. Strangling Seto, that's good motivation, that's real good motivation. Seto's death is even better motivation.) Pegasus opened his eyes and went for the first throat he saw and started to choke the person.
"Wrong person Pegasus, I'm over here. You shouldn't do that to Yugi." Pegasus turned toward the taunting voice, fingers still around the neck of someone, and glared at Seto.
"Sorry Yugi." Pegasus said while unlacing his fingers from Yugi's neck and pulling himself from the ground, glowering at Seto as he walked toward him. Seto stood his ground, smirking and making vulgar comments.
"Dogs!" Seto yelled and laughed as Pegasus stopped mid step and looked around the field.
"Where are they?"
"I told Martha to take them back in the house. I didn't know you were afraid of them. That Croquet guy left a list of things you were scared of, but he didn't say nothin' about dogs."
"He what?"
"He gave me a list the other day. Said that you were afraid of the stuff."
"How dare he?"
"Croquet misses his baby."
"Shut up Seto."
"I don't believe it, he actually…"
"If you say one more thing I'm going to put a hole in your face." Pegasus growled and Seto, completely surprised at the older man's attitude, instantly shut up. "That's better."
"Do you want ta leave?"
"No, I don't want to leave." Pegasus sighed. "Croquet is waiting for me to call because he thinks that I can't take it here, but I'm going show him. Now what do I do?"
"We are goin' ta need the dogs." Pegasus frowned a little before sighing.
"Then I guess that I will have to learn to like them."
Noisy music played in Pegasus castle as loud whoops and laugher could be heard. Pegasus' agents were having a party, enjoying their two weeks off, while their employer was away.
"The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire, we don't need no water let (the DJ scratches the record) burn. Burn, (scratch) burn." That people, was the DJ letting the people have it as he played the rowdy music that had all the agents dancing.
"Ki-mo! Ki-mo! Ki-mo!" A group of drunken agents chanted as Kimo chugged a pitcher of beer and held up the empty pitcher for all to see. The agents cheered and then began jamming to the music once again. Croquet who had been walking around the castle, followed the chanting, finding his partner in a circle of now drunken females, who would normally never give him a chance. (Ashmo: Being drunk can make you see the pretty in ugly people. Me: They must have had a lot of drinks then. Many shots from that Jack Daniels bottle had to be consumed for them to even speak to Kimo)
"Kimo has Master Pegasus called yet?" Yelled Pegasus' chief security officer, his voice trying to compete with the DJ.
"Have I had sex with Prisa yet? (Me: Whoa that chick must have overdosed on something. Oh well she'll regret it when she finds out. Heh heh) Oh yeah, she was great. Don't tell Master Pegasus I used his bed though." Croquet's eyes widened has he comprehended what Kimo had said.
"You what?" Croquet pulled the man from the ring of women and out onto one of the many occupied balconies, dismissing the officers standing there.
"I said I used Master Pegasus' bed. The sheets were all nice and soft and they are comfortable when the chick is on her back with…"
"I don't want to know what they were good for! What the hell were you thinking?"
"What? I changed them when I messed them up."
"You messed them up!" Croquet began pacing the large balcony as Kimo looked worried.
"I could buy him some more."
"Those sheets were imported from Sweden, they cost one of your paychecks and then some. Why did I let you talk me into throwing this party while Master Pegasus was away."
"I was very persuasive and whether you admit or not you want to have fun too." Croquet sighed and slid into one of the chairs on the balcony. "Don't worry about it we'll have this place cleaned up and Master Pegasus won't even know we had a party." Croquet ignored the young man and went back to talking about Pegasus.
"I was expecting a call last night when I found out that the farm house didn't have air conditioning, maybe he found a fan or something."
"Maybe he couldn't find his phone. You might get a call today. He'll be dying to come home after today, you know with all the heavy-duty work and stuff. Master Pegasus is too nice-looking and prissy for that type of work."
"Yes that is a very optimistic view. I guess I'll get my call when he finds out that the Grierson's have dogs, I didn't bother to put that on the list of Master Pegasus' fears."
"So all we have to do is wait. The day is still young." At that moment, the DJ threw some reggae on the turntables, namely a song called Follow the Leader, and Kimo pulled Croquet out of the seat, putting a party hat on his head.
"Follow the leader, leader, leader. Follow the leader. Follow the leader, leader, leader. Follow the leader. Hands up, hands down… Come on Croquet lets go join the party." Kimo pulled the older man into the party and they both danced, following the directions of the DJ. (Bad Croquet, bad. Now isn't that something your own damn workers are plotting against you. But you know mothers like to keep an eye out for their children. Croquet: I am not a mother I just care… a lot. Me: -__-0 Yeah, whatever you say.)
"Now Malik, I'm putting you and Mokuba here" Jed paused to pat the young boy on the head. "in charge of plowing the fields." Both boys nodded and Jed continued. "Yesterday I showed you two how to use the plowing tractor over there." Jed said, indicating the tractor in the middle of the field. "So you two should be alright with plowing the fields, right?" Mokuba nodded and Malik gave Jed the thumbs up. "Alright now get to work." Jed left and Mokuba ran to the plow tractor and jumped in the passenger's seat. Malik went to the other side and got into the driver's seat, making sure that Mokuba was buckled in. After buckling Mokuba in, Malik immediately felt his yami separate from him and appear beside Mokuba. Marik was grinning like a rabid dog and this did not make Malik feel safe at all.
"Can I…?"
"No."
"But I didn't even get to finish my question." Marik pouted.
"You don't have to and the answer is still no."
"But I want to drive."
"No."
"Why?"
"Because you don't know how."
"Do you?"
"Yes." Malik said suspiciously.
"Then… so… do… I." Malik growled, pulling his hikari from the driver's seat and sitting there himself. Marik pushed Malik into the driver's seat beside Mokuba and began looking for the key to start the machine. Malik noticed this and began praying to the Gods.
"Ra, if you love me you will not let Marik find the key to start the tractor." The second that Marik finished his prayer, the key fell from a drink holder and into Marik's lap.
"Gotcha. Are you ready to roll Mokuba?"
"Yeah!" Mokuba yelled and Malik grasped onto the seat, having experienced his yami's driving first hand.
"What the fuck was that Ra? I asked you to make sure he didn't find it, not give it to him." Malik heard the machine start and slowly begin to move. "What did I do to deserve thhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssssssss? Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiikkkkkkkk!
"Well Ryou and Yugi, you two are in charge of feeding the animals today." Ryou and Yugi took a survey of the farm, trying to get a glimpse of what they would be dealing with. A few chickens, some cows, several pigs, some horses and a couple of goats. But during that little survey, I neglected to mention that Yugi and Ryou also noticed a pretty aggressive looking bull in a fence alone. The bull was black with two very large horns coming out of his head. His facial expression screamed ' You will die if you touch me' and Yugi or Ryou didn't want to find out if that was true. Yugi hoping that he and Ryou were not in charge of feeding the bull asked,
"Uh, Mr. Grierson…"
"Call me Jed."
"Uh, Jed then." Yugi corrected before continuing. "Who is supposed to be feeding that bull out there?"
"You talkin' about Old Maniac Martin."
"Yeah, I guess."
"You and Ryou are."
"Not my ass." Ryou said between coughing.
"That's a real bad cough you got there Ryou. Ya might want ta get that checked out."
"I'll keep that in mind."
"But anyway you two got ta feed Maniac Martin too. He ain't so bad once you get to know him." Ryou and Yugi looked out through the corner of their eyes, both thinking the same thing: But we don't know Maniac Martin.
"Boys the food for each animal is by them so you don't get them mixed up. Hope you have a good time. I'm off to get these last two started then.
"Jed before you go one more question."
"Go ahead Yugi?"
"Why is Maniac Martin foaming at the mouth like that?"
"He only does that when he is having a bad day. You boys go and get started, the animals are hungry." Jed yelled over his shoulder as he left the two boys with a bag of feed in their arms.
"You two boys are the last of the bunch. Everybody seems to be starting off well."
"Well that's nice to know, hopefully Seto and I do as well." Pegasus said, nudging his elbow into the side of the other CEO."
"Alright boys you two are in charge of herding the sheep into the fence, so Ryou and Yugi can feed them. The task is a little difficult for people, but Jake and Sam help to speed the process up a little bit."
"Isn't that great Pegasus?" Seto slapped Pegasus on the back, harder than needed, and grinned at the other man. "Our pals Jake and Sam are going to helps us out."
"Yes very." Pegasus pulled Seto in for a side hug, his arm going around his shoulder, but quickly snaking up to his neck.
"You boys are goin' ta have ta get along now. Now let me explain how to do this, one of ya will hold the dogs while the other will run into that small forest over there making sure none of the sheep are in there. They never go past the lake so you don't have to go further than that. When you are sure no more sheep are in the woods come out and signal for your partner to let the dogs go. Sam and Jake will do the rest for you."
"I'll go in the forest." Pegasus yelled, before Seto could say anything.
"I guess you stuck with the dogs then Seto."
"Yeah I guess."
"I'm goin' ta call Sam and Jake so you might want ta go somewhere."
"Don't have to tell me twice." Pegasus ran into the barn and Jed called for the two dogs. The dogs flew through the broken back door (courtesy of Pegasus) and ran to their master.
"Here they are Seto. They are full of energy and might be a little hard to handle, so keep a tight grip on them. You boys can start whenever ya want. I'll be mowin' the front field if ya need me. And don't scare that boy Seto."
"I won't."
"Yeah don't scare me."
"And the both of ya behave ya selves." Jed left and Pegasus and Seto looked at each other.
"Don't release them until I tell you too."
"I'm not, but Jed did say that they were full of energy and that I might not be able to control them. So what if they sorta, kinda, maybe get a loose." Pegasus smiled a sugary smiled and replied,
"I'll sorta, kinda, maybe kick you're a…" Seto released his grip slightly on the collars of the dogs and they lunged toward Pegasus, who stopped talking and backed away. "You're not funny." That was the last thing said as Pegasus went into the field and toward the forest.
"Damn, I have always been one to let my curiosity get the better of me." Seto said to himself as he loosened his grip a little more.
If anyone is reading this and they go to FAMU they know what I mean, but the school is really cool. Great experience, but every school has its problems, I was just joking. I love FAMU. ^__^
Another chappie finished yay. Sorry it took so long but all these tests are killing me. I'm trying to get this stuff up as fast as possible, but I am getting no breaks from school at all. The days that I do get off are spent recovering or studying. But anyway I hope all of you guys enjoyed the chappie.
Another thing I wanted to know if you guys would mind if this turned into a Pegasus/Seto romance. Just asking so please give me an answer. If people want a romance it will work over a period of three stories, but if you don't then just say so. The majority will win. I am turning this and two other stories into the Mokuba Community Service series. So I just wanted to know what you thought about the romance part. The rest of the Monday morning stuff will be in the next chapter.
That's all for now, so read and review. Pwease
