Just a reminder... /anything like this is in italics/

"What on Earth is going on in here?" Mr. Trevino stood in the doorframe to Carlos' room. Carlos was on the floor, trying to catch his breath, Kai and Bakura sat on the bed, every once in a while catching each other's eye and laughing, Joey, Tristan and Tea were all huddled in a lump on the floor trying to breathe, and Yami was regaining his control while leaning against the doorway.
"We were just... playing a game," Kai said, giggling and Bakura had to put a hand over his mouth to stop from bursting out laughing. Carlos flung his arm over his eyes and snorted with laughter.
"That's a very loud game you're playing. Try to keep it down, okay," Mr. Trevino said, shaking his head. With that, he left, leaving the seven teens to themselves.
Kai fell back on the bed and sighed happily, a grin on her face. She couldn't remember the last time she had had this much fun.
Bakura sat there, his hand over his mouth to keep from laughing. Looking at his friends, he saw that they had mostly calmed down. Yami was back to his normal pulled-together self, and though the others were still on the floor, they only had stupid grins on their faces. Carlos still had his arm over his face, but he looked as though he was breathing again.
"So, Carlos, now what?" Kai asked, sitting up. Bakura took his hand away from his mouth and managed not to laugh.
"Go suck on a lemon," was Carlos' reply.
"You look like you were weaned on one," Kai teased.
- Here we go again, - Bakura thought with a mental chuckle. He enjoyed watching the best friends. Their sarcasm was better than the latest horror movie.
"Oh, for crying out loud!" Carlos exclaimed, sitting up. "You /never/ have anything nice to say to me!"
"And you're /always/ showering /me/ with compliments," Kai said dryly.
"Don't you have something to do? Besides sitting around adoring me I mean."
Bakura bit his tongue in an effort not to laugh.
"Adore /you/? You /have/ to be kidding me! In your /dreams/!" Kai exclaimed, pointing at him.
"In /your/ dreams you mean. I know you can't resist me," Carlos said, standing. He folded his arms and looked at her.
"Carlos, any dream with you in it is a nightmare," Kai shot back.
"You scream my name in the middle of the night," he said, grinning.
"I wake up screaming," she corrected.
"Don't you two ever stop?" Tea asked, astonished that they could go on for so long. She, Joey and Tristan had finally managed to get to their feet.
"No," they replied in unison. They grinned at each other as there were a few chuckles around the room.
Kai looked at her watch and her mouth dropped open. "You guys it's nine o' clock!" she said. "We'd better go."
"Whoa! Nine?" Carlos asked, checking his own watch.
"What, don't believe me?" Kai said, standing along with Bakura. Carlos just glared at her.
"You'd better get home. I'll see you out," he said, and they made their way to the front door, pausing to say good-bye to Mr. and Mrs. Trevino on the way.
"See you later Carlos," Kai said, play punching him in the arm. He, in turn, jabbed her in the ribs with his finger.
"Bye, Carlos!" Tea said, heading into the front yard.
"Yeah, thanks for the food," Joey said, following her. Tristan, Yami and Bakura also said good-bye.
Kai was the last to leave. As she turned to go, Carlos gave her a swift kick in the butt. She cried out and jumped forward, allowing him to close the door before she could strike back.
"Carlos Trevino!" she yelled, banging on the door. "I can't believe you! Get out here right now! I'll get you for that!"
Yami and the others laughed as she stuck her tongue out at the door and turned around, rubbing her butt.
"I can't believe he did that!" she said, leading the way home in the dark. "Well, wait a minute. I suppose I can... it's Carlos." She shook her head.
She hated walking at night, but having her friends with her made it more tolerable. She felt safer.
"That show you guys put on in there was great!" Joey exclaimed with a laugh. Kai felt herself go red.
She hadn't really meant for it to get quite so out of hand. Had she not been with Carlos she never would have done those things. She hoped she hadn't embarrassed Bakura too badly.
Bakura blushed and was very thankful it was dark so no one saw. He had had fun, but he knew that he would never live this down with Joey.
"Yeah, you were hilarious!" Tristan remarked.
Yami glanced at Kai who was walking beside him. He chuckled as she gave an embarrassed laugh. He too had loved the trio's performance, but refrained from saying so, knowing it would only add to his friends' embarrassment.
"Did you ever think of a career in acting?" Tea asked, half joking.
"You mean acting stupid?" Joey cracked and they all laughed, including Kai. She could appreciate jokes like that because she hung out with Carlos.
They reached Kai's door shortly after and she was very thankful for that. She went to bed quickly, therefore she didn't have to endure any more of the others' wise cracks.

As she crawled under her blankets, she had a slight pain just behind her temple. Rubbing the side of her head, it soon faded. Thinking nothing of it, she fell asleep...

a/n: Whew. Glad that one's over. I hate connector chapters. Well, I'll try to post again tomorrow. Please review.
P.S. Just in case you were wondering...
I'm trying to keep this fic as much to the TV program as possible, so Tea, Tristan and Joey know about Yami, but Bakura doesn't. He doesn't know about the spirit of the Millennium Ring either. I don't know how he could miss that, but I didn't write the program. Anyway, just in case you were wondering why sometimes Yami was called Yugi and other times called by his true name.
