Part one - The Video
Game start --
It was another brisk autumn Friday afternoon in the town of Domino and sitting in their economics class were five familiar teen ; Yugi, Joey, Tristen, Tea and Carmen. Across the room sat the king of games archrival, the cantankerous C.E.O. of Kaiba Corp., Seto Kaiba.
They'd been taking notes on supply and demand all hour and it was almost time for school to let out for the day. The teacher switched off the overhead," A-hem, class ," he announced, " We're going to have a weekend assignment ...". A groan resounded amongst the student, the teacher continued, " I want you to divide into groups of four to five and write a report on a business oriented video ," he finished.
Needless to say no one was thrilled, Joey turned back to Yugi and the others, " I guess this means we're workin' together , " he drawled.
" Yeah, I guess so ," agreed Yugi, since it was the most convenient scheme, they all knew each other and they were going to hang out anyway.
" We can stop at the video shop after school ," said Tea.
" And we could meet at my house, or yours Yugi ," chimed in Carmen.
" It's all worked out then ," concluded the blond.
BBBBRRRRIIIIINNNNGGGG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The five adolescents entered a video store called Flicks-R-We, pointed out by Joey and Tristen. " Yea, dis is where me n Tristen get all our porn !" he beamed proudly, Tea looked at them with repugnance, while Carmen merely rose an eyebrow in question. Tristen agreed, " Uh-huh, this is the only place in the city that will rent'em to minors ,".
" Try to stay on track guys ," scolded the russet-haired girl maternally.
" Yeah, yeah ," brushed off Joey as he and Tristen wandered off to browse, Tea, Yugi and Carmen followed to suit.
" Hmm ," hummed the cherry-haired girl as her eyes glazed over the selection, Nope, no luck here either and moved on to the next row of movie, when she saw one that caught her attention. From the title and the picture in front of it, it certainly looked like a 'business-orientated' film. It was a picture of Seto infront of his company, looking as disgruntled as usual, so she grabbed it and went to find the others.
Joey and Tristen hadn't found anything entertaining enough to rent and Tea had found one also called 'Economics can be fun !'. Now, ever since Battle City, she and Carmen were at ends about everything, mostly because Carmen had developed a sort of 'crush' on Yugi. So of course she wanted to rent her movie and Carmen wanted to rent her own pick. " I guess we'll just have to vote ," said Tea irritated, " Alright, everyone who wants to choose mine, say 'aye'," and raised her hand.
" I'm goin' with Tea's, I ain't watchin' anythin with rich boy in it ," said Joey.
" C'mon Joey, have some pride, " diverged Tristen, " I'm going with Carmen's pick ,".
" Me too ," agreed Yugi, not wanting to watch some kiddie titled video.
" Mine it is !" announced the amber-eyed teen, while Tea seethed inwardly,
" Let's get to the front desk then ,".
The next day they all met at Yugi's house, his grandpa was down stairs in the shop, busy with customers, since kids usually get paid on Friday. The amethyst-eyed teen had made a bag of popcorn for his hungry friends, Joey and Tristen had two bags of Cheez-O crunchies. Once the five of them were all situated, Carmen grabbed the video and popped it in.
About five minutes into the video Carmen realized she'd made a horrible blunder, because at about this time the movie showed its true colors, the top had come off, quite literally.
Followed by the bottoms and ...
" NOOOO ! IT BUUURRNNS ," howled Carmen, falling off of her seat on the couch to the floor, pretending to scratching her eyes out.
" Whoa, I didn't thing money bags was inta this sorta thing ," said Joey with a shock.
On the other hand, Tristen stared at the images on the scene in awe, " Kaiba is a ...god !". Silence befell the group, looking at Tristen as thought he were possessed. " What ?".
There was a knock on the door, it was Yugi's grandpa, " Is every thing okay kids ?" he asked through the door, " sounds like someone burned themselves ,".
" Everything's fine Grampa ," Yugi called back, getting up and switching off the VCR before the he decided to come in. Carmen was rolling on the ground, evidently the shock of it was too much to handle and she had fallen into a fit of laughter.
