Okay, here's chapter 2!

Disclaimer: Again, I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh. You already know what I'd be doing if I did... Oh, I don't own Barney, either. If I did, I'd make him a blue dinosaur with yellow spots... yeah...

Adventures in Cooking Chp. 2

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

After standing still for a few seconds, Joey and Yugi got back to making their projects. They had only been working a few minutes when Téa reentered the room, Marik behind her.

"Ahh!" Joey screamed. "What's he doing here?"

"Quiet, Wheeler, or I will send your mind to the Shadow Realm! Mwahahahaha!"

"Marik!" Téa exclaimed. "None of that, or I will not let you use my kitchen."

"Why should I listen to you?"

"You'll fail cooking class..."

"Darn..."

"Wait," Joey said. "Since when did Marik a) live in Japan, b) go to our school, c) attend our cooking class?"

"Since the author of this story decided this!" Marik replied.

"Oh, I see..."

"Now, Tea, is it?"

"Téa, with a little thing over the 'e'," Téa replied.

"Yes, Téa... I just need to finish adding the ingredients, then cook it, and I'll be on my merry way."

"Sure!"

Yugi, Joey, and Mokuba quickly glanced at each other, then the first two went back to their projects.

----Ten minutes later----

"Grr... Stupid dough..." Marik growled, pulling his hands up from the dough he was kneading. "Too... sticky..." (a/n: Same thing happened to me!!) Yugi and Joey glanced over as Marik swiftly pulled out his Duel Disc and drew a card. "Go, Revival Jam! I choose you!"

(Me: Psst! Marik! Wrong show!)

"Oh, right!" Marik placed his card on the Duel Disc. "Revival Jam, go! Make this dough less... doughy!" A hologram of Revival Jam appeared, but nothing else happened. "Grrr... What's wrong? Maybe I summoned the wrong type of monster..." He took out his deck and shuffled through it. "Dark Necretos (a/n: I don't know if I spelled that right...)... no... Holding Legs... no... Fluffy Bunny... no..."

"Fluffy Bunny?" Joey whispered.

(All: O.o)

"C'mon!" Marik begged, throwing his hands in the air. "Please, monsters, help me!" Nothing happened. "Damn you all! I will now send you to the Shadow Realm!"

"Marik!" Téa warned.

Just then, Tristan and Kaiba popped their heads in.

"Shh! Christy just admitted her love to Billy, but he said it could never work out because he's really her cousin's ex-boyfriend's sister-in-law's aunt's niece's son!" Kaiba exclaimed.

"What? You guys watch The 24 Hour Time Periods of Our Existence, too?" Marik asked. "I love that show!" He quickly tossed the dough down and followed Tristan and Kaiba into the living room.

"Okay..." Joey muttered.

"Oh, no!" Téa suddenly exclaimed. "I'm out of eggs!"

"I'll go get some!" Yugi and Joey announced at the same time, wanting any excuse to get away. Quickly throwing off their aprons, the two raced out of the house, leaving Téa and Mokuba in the kitchen.

"Umm... I'm gonna go home now..." Mokuba said, walking to the door.

----At the store----

"Do you think she wants brown eggs, or white eggs?" Yugi asked, holding up two cartons.

"Does it really matter?" Joey asked. Yugi agreed, and put the brown eggs back. Both boys proceeded to the check-out.

"Hey, Joey, you have money, right?" Yugi asked.

"No, I thought you had some..."

"Darn... How do we pay for this?"

"Wait! I see Ryou and Duke over there. Maybe they have some money!"

Joey and Yugi got out of line and ran over to their friends, who were surrounded by a bunch of other people.

"Twenty bucks on three bottles!" one person shouted.

"Thirty on five!" another shouted.

"Hey, Duke! Ryou!" Yugi called out.

The two boys spotted him, and quickly yelled, "Uh, we will get back to you all later!" They then pushed their way out of the crowd over to Yugi and Joey.

"What was that all about?" Joey asked.

"Uh, nothing..." Duke replied. Joey looked passed him at Ryou, who was wearing a sign that said, "Place Bets on How Much Hair Gel Yugi Motou Uses!"

"Nothing?" Joey smirked.

"I don't use hair gel!" Yugi exclaimed. "My hair is naturally this way!"

"Sure..." Duke said. "Anyway, what can we do for you?"

"We're a little short on cash... Since you're making all this dough, could you lend us two-fifty?" Joey asked.

"What's in it for us?"

"Umm... the good feeling you get when you help someone?"

"Wrong."

Joey thought for a minute, then an evil smirk appeared on his face. "If you give us the money, I won't tell anyone what I saw you watching last night."

"What?" Duke glanced around. "You're bluffing!"

Joey started to hum a bit, but before Yugi could think of the song, Duke shouted, "Okay! Okay! Here!" After shoving a few bills into Joey's hands, Duke grabbed Ryou and they both left the building.

"What show does he watch?" Yugi asked Joey as they paid for the eggs.

"I did promise Duke I wouldn't tell...Nah, I'll tell you!" Joey paused for drama. Yugi stood there... waiting... waiting... waiting...

"Um, Joey?" Yugi asked after ten minutes had elapsed.

"Huh? Oh, must've zoned out for a second... I saw—Wait! Do you have any quarters, Yuge?"

"Yeah... Why?"

"I NEED to ride the airplane!" Joey exclaimed, pointing to the kiddy, ride-on plane outside of the store.

(Yugi: O.o)

"Pleeeeease? Please, please, please! It's calling me! 'Joey, Joey. Come ride me!' Please, Yuge, I NEED to!"

Just wanting him to shut up, Yugi handed over a few quarters. Joey squealed with joy and raced over to the plane, shoving over a few kids to be first in line. Yugi watched as the thing went back and forth, back and forth, as Joey threw his hands in the air and screamed, "Look, Yuge! No hands! Whee!" Yugi sweatdropped.

After a minute or two, the ride stopped. Joey clambered out and went back over to Yugi. Joey cleared his throat and said, "Yeah... So, what was I saying?

"The show you caught Duke watching."

"Oh, yeah! Barney!"

"Nu-uh!"

"Yup!"

---flashback---

Joey was walking back to his apartment after eating out at Burger World. As he passed by Duke's house he heard music coming from inside.

"Hmmm... Should I?" Joey pondered. "Yeah!"

He walked up to the window and pressed his nose against the glass. What he saw shocked and scared him.

Duke was sitting on the floor of this room, surrounded by Barney stuffed animals and other paraphernalia. There was a Barney sing-along doll clutched in his hands, and he was wearing a Barney costume. On the TV, the show, Barney, was just starting.

"Barney is a dinosaur from our imagination..." Duke was singing with the TV at the top of his lungs, obviously unaware that the people he paid to soundproof his house didn't do their job.

It was all Joey could do to keep himself from bursting out in laughter.

This went on for half-an-hour: Joey standing at the window, trying not to laugh, while Duke sang and danced to his hearts content. But when Duke started singing the "I Love You" song, Joey couldn't handle it anymore and just ran home.

---end flashback---

(Yugi: O.o)

"Well, that's... interesting..." Yugi stated. "Gah! Now you have a picture of Duke dressed as Barney in my head! And it's not pretty! Worse than you in that airplane!"

"Hehe..."
