5: 45 PM

That afternoon Tristan was on schedule for his solitary walk. He gazed at the sunset that was sinking deeper and deeper into the sea.

"Hmmm... I wonder what's for dinner... perhaps cup noodles? Heh... what was I thinking... CUP NOODLE IS THE ONLY THING I'VE EATEN FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS!!!!!!!!!"

At that last sentence people around Tristan gazed at him and gave him the silence treatment along with a "He's crazy Son, don't go near people like him" look on their faces.

"Damn... did I say that out loud?? Great, now everybody thinks I'm a freak... maybe I'll go crash at Joeys' place... then we can eat cup noodles-- TOGETHER! "

Suddenly Tristan stopped in his tracks. His pointy hair spiked up and began to spin around like a radar.

"My Yugi senses are tingling... hmm... he's close... but where?"

Tristan began to look in all directions, when a short man –across the street-- wearing a brown cloak caught his eye. With the hood ripped Tristan was able to make out colors like red, black, and yellow. No doubt it was Yugi. (A/NI know I know, I'm always making fun of his hair aren't I? I can't help it!!! What would you say if you saw someone with a hair like THAT???) The little man perked around as if he was checking if the coast was clear. He held something wrapped tightly around his arm.

"What is he up to...?"

Tristan began to follow the little man unsure of the actions he my take. He followed him up the sidewalk. Each step closer and closer

"Teletubbie sneakers? TELETUBBIE SNEAKERS??? Hold on a sec... there is only one person in this whole town that would wear TELETUBBIE SNEAKERS!"

Sure of the answer, Tristan picked up the little man by the back of his cloak, turned him around so they were face to face.

"Yugi... if you're role playing as James Bond or one of those Rarehunters, you suck at it...What in the name of Ra are you doing—AND WITH THE PORTABLE COMPUTER TOO!?!?!?!??"

Tristan grabbed the heavy item out of Yugi's arm and took a good look at it. Sure enough it was Joey's laptop. He then shifted his eyes on Yugi who put on a puppy dogface.

"What is the meaning of this??

"I plea guilty!! ... please don't hurt me."

"And what is the purpose for your actions?" Hmmm???

"We're not in the court of law Tristan"

"Hmm... true... true... so... WHY'D YOU STEAL THE LAPTOP FROM MY HOUSE?!??!????"

"....."

"Speak or feel the wrath of my Yami!!!"

"You don't have a Yami"

"... I WILL ONE DAY! AHAHAHA!!!"

"I confess... I was gonna trade the laptop in for a Teletubbie costume"

"YOU WHAAT???? You sicken me you hear? SICKEN!"

"I am ashamed"

. : Sob sob : .

"There there Yug, there is always a punishment for our sins. Therefore I hereby confiscate your Duel Monsters deck for a week!"

"NoOoOoOoOoO!!!!! Anything but my deck, ANYTHING!!!"

"Anything eh? Well... there's this magic lamp—"

"—Forget it! The deals off!"

"Darn"

Journal Entry 3:

It was 6: 05 in the morning when I was awaken by a noisy phone call from my sister. Half asleep, I tried to reached for the phone but instead, rolled off my bed and landed on the carpet floor. I picked up the phone and held it up to my ear

"...WHAT?!"

"Big brother? It's me! "

"Who?"

"Me! Serenity!"

"Oh, you"

"Who do you think I was? Silly!"

Somehow my sister's voice sounds manlier as each day passes... strange... but cool! I mean, how many guys get a bisexual for a sibling?

"Um... never mind. What's the deal Sis? Calling me so early"

"Oh nothing much... just calling to say hi."

Calling to say hi? That's lame... us dudes don't even do that. I will never be able to understand these strange beings called 'females'

"Uhh... that's it??"

"Well no, we haven't seen each other for an awfully long time... so I was wondering if you'd like to go to the mall with me today"

"The mall?!? Hold your horses! Guys don't go shopping Serenity in case you haven't noticed."

"They don't? Oh... that's not what Duke said when I called him. Hmm..."

"WHAT?!??? DUKE?!?!? DUKE DEVLIN!!?!?!?!!! IS THAT UGLY ANOREXIC BOTHERING YOU AGAIN SERENITY!!!???????!!!!!!!?!?!?"

"Huh? Ohnononono. I just ask him to come with us to the mall and he said yes."

"Us?? Who else is coming???"

"Um... Tristan."

"TRISTAN???? WHT?WHY?HOW!?—

"It's kind of funny, cause when I mentioned about Duke he got all"

"... Jealous?"

"Jealous? You're silly big brother! Silly!

"Go figures"

"So will you be coming with us?"

"... I have no choice"

"Huh?"

"Nothing! I'll come!"

"Great! I'll tell everyone else! We're meeting a 1:00 in front of the main doors of Domino Mall. See you there Joey! Bye!

"That's all I need... Tristan and Devlin tagging along"

I'd have to be there first and early to keep those two con-mans away from my sister... I put the hand-free phone on the table and went back to sleep

I was awaken in an instant when my alarm clock was set off. Reminding myself I had a mission to do, I got off my bed and headed for the washroom. As I brushed my teeth I planned out the situation for today's mission. I'll have to bring a crowbar just in case if anything goes wrong. Hmm... and if that doesn't work...

. : Grin : .

I punched in a couple of numbers, "My friend... I have a proposition for you."

Ensuring that my plan was foolproof I left half an hour early. I took 2 buses until I finally arrived at the Domino Mall. When I got off the bus I could see that Serenity was already waving her arms frantically at me to catch my attention. As I walked up the stairs I saw what looked like the two "con-mans" standing next to my sister.

"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU TWO SO EARLY?!???

"Why are you so late?"

"I—ARE YOU QUESTIONING MY AUTHORITY??!??"

"...maybe."

"Shuddup!!!"

How can this be??? My plan was foolproof! How can these donut-heads arrive earlier than ME??!?!?!??

"Oh big brother, don't get mad. Tristan and Duke were very nice. They offered to pick me up this morning."

"WHAAAT?!!!? THAT'S IT! —"

As I was about to pull out the crowbar from my bag a hand grabbed my wrist

"What the hell are you doing here?!", Tristan and Duke asked in unison.

"Heh, I was asked to come you pathetic mortals."

"WHAT!?! JOEY!?? YOU INVITED BAKURA TO COME!!!!!?!?!?!?!??!?! ARE YOU NUTS?!???????"

"Heh, yeah well... I had to be on the safe side."

"WHAT SAFE SIDE?????!?? HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND!!! HE'S A TOMB ROBBER!!!!!

"That was 5000 years ago who cares"

"WE CARE!!!!"

"Oh come on guys, the more the merrier!

"Easy for you to say Serenity... He might as well slice us up now and serve us with fries"

"Not a bad idea... heh."

I nudged Bakura in the stomach hard with my elbow, "You'll get your chance later. You better not screw this up for my sister! I paid you big bucks in this!"

"Heh, not to worry"

Bakura gave a grin. Somehow I knew he wouldn't handle this well. Damn! I should've asked Malik to come too when I had the chance!

So the day started like that with the five of us arguing. When we arrived at the food court it was already filled with people yet we still managed to find a small table.

. : Sigh : .

"Oh dear, this is a four person table. I guess there's no choice but have Serenity sit on my lap."

"What?! Noo Serenity gets to sit on MY lap! You can't even support yourself with your own legs Duke nevermind Serenity"

"WHAT?! Are you saying that my sister is over-weight!?!?"

"I didn't say anything about that!! What I meant was—"

"—THAT'S IT YOU'RE GOING DOWN TRISTAN!!"

"Yeah, you're going down Tristan!"

"YOU STAY OUT OF THIS SKINNY BOY!!!"

"... yes sir."

"Bakura! Get my crowbar!"

"Umm... I'll go and get the food big brother. Be right back!" ;;;;;

When Serenity came back with trays of food she found Joey, Tristan, and Duke all lying on the floor with blood and bruises. She looked around and noticed that everyone in the food court disappeared... with the exception of Bakura who was sitting on a chair arms crossed

"What happened here?"

"Heh, you should be happy that so many men care for you."

"I don't understand."

"To put it simply... they all beat the crap out of each other for you"

"Is that why everyone here left?"

"No. I sent them all to the shadow realm. Humans... they're so noisy"

. : Gulp : .

TO BE CONTINUED.........

"Let's stop it there. Dinner is ready."

"I don't get it... how come I wasn't invited to go to the mall with you guys that day??"

"Uhh... really???"

"Yeah"

"Um... you know... we called you but you weren't home Yug... heheheh...."

. : Sweatdrop : .

"Hmmmm"

"Anywayz.... WHO'S UP FOR CUP NOODLES????????"

This is only Part 1, Part 2 is gonna be in the next chapter. Hope you enjoyed this, REVIEW PLEAZE!!! : )
