Marco Polo and…hiking again

We find our heroes at the lake where we left off last time. Bakura was just pushed onto the waterfall and now Seto wants to play Marco Polo…

"Are we going to play or what?" Seto asked. This was getting annoying. Now that he was in a good mood, he wanted to have a ton of fun before his bad mood came back.

Malik looked at him. "What's Marco Polo? I've never heard of it before…will it make me rich?" He asked. If it made him rich, he'd do it…no matter what the cost.

"No stupid. It's a game where one person has their eyes closed. He says 'Marco'. Then the other people swim around and say 'Polo'. The person with his/her eyes closed has to try to find the people by listening. The first person to be tagged by whomever is saying 'Marco' becomes that person." Mai explained.

Everyone (but Yami) just stared at her. Yami had gone into a sort of trance and was muttering to himself. "Game…must…play…it is…a game…" his eyes were half closed like he were being controlled.

Now everybody turned to Malik and Marik. "Wasn't me." They said in unison. It was true. They had left the Millennium Rod back in the tent.

Bakura, who was tramping up the hill, was just about to ask what they were all doing and to tell Marik that he was going to die in his sleep when Ryou interrupted him. "Seto wants to play Marco Polo, Yami's in a trance, and we are trying to snap him out of it." This seemed like a reasonable explanation to Bakura, so he walked over to the former pharaoh.

"Game…must…take on…challengers…must not loose…must play…must win…" Yami mumbled.

Serenity stared at Bakura. "What are you going to do to him…?" she looked like she was about to tackle Bakura if he even looked at Yami. She didn't like like him…she just felt the need to help him out if Bakura did do something.

"Who…me? I'm not going to do anything…except get him out of the trance." Bakura replied.

Joey looked puzzled. "How can you do that? You just said that you weren't going to do anything and…whoa…did I just say something smart?" that was confusing even for him…and he said it.

"How?" Mai asked. "I want to know all the details, 'cause if you hurt him, Serenity will be mad at you for all of an eternity."

Bakura didn't anything until he had a good answer. "You'll see." He knew this didn't sound evil, but it was the best he could think of. And with that, he stuck his finger in his mouth as if to test the wind. But instead, he stuck it in Yami's ear and yelled "WET WILLIE!" Ha ha. That was funny, he thought.

Ryou just put his head in his hands. He knew where this was going. Yami would freak out and end up in the water. Then we'll all play Marco Polo. At least we'll get somewhere…

Almost automatically, Yami jumped up with a look of shock and coldness on his face. "AAAAARRRRRGGGGG!" he yelled. And with that, he jumped into the lake and was instantly surrounded by warm water. It was like a bath. "Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh…" he sighed.

And now he's relaxing… Yugi thought. Now what'll we all do? Well for one thing Seto will probably ask to play Marco Polo again…

"Now can we play?" Seto asked. "I've waited long enough!" and I want to splash Marik…that'll be funny… "Let's get going!"

Malik looked annoyed too. "Yea, we may as well play. The sooner we do, the sooner we can all go back to the campsite and eat dinner. We did have a late breakfast after all."

That was true. The gang did have a little bit of a late breakfast. They wouldn't be hungry for at least another 6 hours, not including a small snack to hold tem over in 3 hours.

So, with that said, the gang all jump into the lake. After getting used to the water temperature, they all get in positions to figure out who will be "Marco" first. After a lot of arguing, the gang decides on someone…

"Aw, man! Why 'da heck am I always 'da one? Ah well, I suppose it's all for 'da best. When do we start playing?" Joey asked.

Mokuba looked ready. "Why don't we start now? If Seto doesn't play soon, he'll be in his bad mood again…and we all know how good that would be…"

"Right…hey!" Seto said. "That's not what…oh…never mind. Let's play!"

So, the gang all plays Marco Polo. They were in the lake for about 3 hours when they decide to call it quits for the day. And, on their way back to the campsite, they all argue about what was for dinner that night. Now there were two teams fighting.

"Burgers!" team Joey yelled. This team had all of the following people: Joey, Serenity, Tristan, Yugi, Malik, and Mai.

"Macaroni with broccoli!" team Seto cried. Seto's team consisted of: Seto (well duh…), Yami, Marik, Ryou, Bakura, Tea, and Mokuba. "We out number you guys! Besides, we had burgers yesterday!" Mokuba said.

"Oh…all right…" Joey said, and his team fell apart.

"Good. Now let's get cooking!" Serenity said. Don't forget, Ryou's on vacation.
