Call On Me
Chapter 15:
When Marik, Malik and Bakura returned to the gymnasium, their friends were waiting for them at the doorway, talking about one thing or the other. They noticed the boys and quickly ran over to them, wide grins on their faces. Malik hurried and shoved the little bag of pills into his back pocket before Yugi could notice.
"Hi guys, where'd you go off to?"
All three boys looked at each other and said, "Bathroom."
Ryou grabbed his yami's arm and pulled him closer, "Oh, well, I'm glad you're here! It's about to start!"
Malik and Marik looked at Yami and Yugi, "What's about to start? I thought this travesty had already begun?"
"Yeah, yeah!" Yugi jumped up, "But this is the part where the students take over. It's been mild so far, don't you think? Look." He pointed around the room, gesturing towards the teachers with their watchful eyes roaming from kid to kid, stopping the ones who were Grinding and doing other 'suggestive' dances. "Now, now… wait for it."
As if planned, in less than a minute, a boy came running in from the outside, screaming at the top of his young lungs, "Hey! The faulty part of the parking lot has caught fire!"
"OH MY GOSH!" All the teachers and adults over the age of eighteen, shouted and practically trampled over each other to get out of all the exits, rushing for their cars that were supposedly on fire. The boy that came running through the door earlier was now grinning madly and he gestured towards a few other kids. They all shut the main entrance and locked all the doors.
Marik and Malik looked around, questioning expressions on their faces, "W-What's going on?"
Yugi and Ryou nodded giddily, "You'll see!"
The boy waved to Tristan and Tristan, in turn, pulled up the mic and pumped up the volume to a different song, "OKAY! Ladies and hoodlums, all the squares have left the building and now it's time to jam! So, get on your feet, get on the floor and turn your friend into something more!"
He pulled on his sunglasses, flicked a button and all the lights went off. Another button and a trap door in the ceiling opened, dropping out a gigantic disco ball. It began to turn and flashes of light twirled around the room. A siren sounded and the sound was blasted even higher.
If ya wanna get with my baby
Ya gotta get through me first
A ménage a trois is tasty
But only I can quench your thirst
Tristan shouted over the noise and the laughter, "Happy hour is approaching, people! The teachers are gone, your parents are asleep, this is what you've been waiting for! So, if you're a teen and you're ready to party, then somebody say oh yeah!"
"OH YEAH!" They all shouted.
"Somebody scream!"
"AAAHHH!"
Malik was looking around at everyone and smiled, "Wow, so this is what happens every year? This is all planned?"
"Yeah!" Ryou nodded, "Can you believe the way the got all those teachers out? Beautiful, they're so creative. You should've seen what they did last year! They-"
"Wait, wait, wait!" Bakura turned to his hikari, "I was here last year, nothing like this happened."
Ryou smiled and nudged Bakura's arm, "Don't you remember, 'Kura-Kat? You hid under the snack table last year and slept for two hours. When I finally coaxed him out, everything was over, including this part."
Marik cackled, "Sleepy, 'Kura-Kat?"
"Don't call me that…" He growled and was immediately dragged away by Ryou, who stated that he loved this song and Bakura was going to dance with him. While Yami and Yugi were talking about something, Marik whispered to his hikari.
"Look, we have to get those two pills into their drinks."
"How do we do that?"
"Mmm…" Marik turned around to the punch table and motioned for Malik to join him. They looked around and, just in case the pills had a weird smell or taste, they wanted to pick a drink that was strong.
"Why don't we just use water or something?"
"Because, you idiot, would you want to drink water at a social event? You have to think more like a teenager, not an old man."
Malik huffed, "…Who are you calling old?"
Marik picked up two Styrofoam cups and filled them with punch. Malik took out the bag and they both looked round before putting one pill in each cup, they dissolved quickly and it was hardly noticeable. Though, just as the pills were fizzing, a spiky-haired head popped up behind the two.
"What ya doing, guys? Why aren't you dancing?"
"GAH!" Both Marik and Malik nearly jumped out of their skin, and tried not to spill the cups. They turned around and saw Yugi starring up at them, a huge smile on his face, "Y-Yugi…! What the hell are you doing?"
"What are you doing?" Came his innocent question, yet again.
"Uh, uh… W-We…" Marik looked at his hikari for answers, Malik's face was pale, "You see… Um, I… Well, Kilam and I… Uh…"
Suddenly Yami popped up and looked at the drink in Marik's hand, "Oh, Kiram, you think of everything!" No sooner did those words come out of his mouth, he snatched the Styrofoam cup and chugged it all down.
"Ah… hey!" Yugi pouted, "How do you know that wasn't for me!"
Yami shrugged, "…"
"Um. Here you go, Yugi, I got this for you." Malik volunteered the cup he was holding to Yugi and the young boy eagerly accepted it, chugging it as his other half had done before. He grinned, "Thank you, Kilam!"
Yami nodded solemnly, "This reminds me of the first time I actually had modern-day punch. It was about a year ago and I was at one of Joey's sleepovers and he was saying something about a monkey…" He carried on, and of course everyone else tried to ignore him.
"Well, Kilam, come on and dance with me!" Yugi chirped and dragged Malik over to the dance floor. Yami did the same with Marik, and somehow managed to keep telling his story.
15 minutes later…
They'd been dancing ever since Yami and Yugi drank their spiked punch, and at first Marik and Malik didn't think it was working. Yugi was as hyper as ever and Yami just wouldn't shut up. They were beginning to think that maybe it didn't work on anybody under five foot five. But then…
"Guh…" Yugi slumped over in Malik's arms, a serene look coming over him as he looked up, "… Kilam… you know… I-I… this thing…"
Malik tilted his head as Yugi's babble continued, "No… no way. Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" He busted out into a fit of laughter, scaring Malik and a few students who were slow dancing beside them.
Suddenly, Yami's "Back in Egypt" story came to a slow halt and he giggled, yanking on the fake puzzle around Marik's neck, "This is going to… too slow, Kiram… I want pizza now… Oh…"
Marik looked at his hikari, grinning madly, "Hey, I think it's beginning to take effect, don't you?"
He nodded frantically, trying to keep Yugi from drooling on his shirt, "Yeah, yeah…! C-Can we just do this already, he's drooling everywhere!"
Before Marik could reply, Ryou and Bakura came over, Bakura being dragged over. "Hey… what's wrong with these two?" Ryou asked, a worried look scrunching up his face, "Are they sick or something?"
Yami nodded loosely and leaned into Marik, "Sick… with… with gooey, gooey sickness… Oh, sickness, I knew ye well…"
Yugi had attached himself to Malik's thigh and was holding onto it for dear life, though Malik tried to shake him off. Not wanting to let go, Yugi clung on tighter and looked pretty content, perched upon Malik's leg. "No, Grandpa… Yami didn't mean to pee on your plant… It was an…"
Ryou gasped, "There's something wrong with them…!"
"No, no! Really, they're fine." Marik said, pushing Yami away from his belt. Malik, meanwhile, was starting to freak out, and it seemed that Yugi had almost fallen asleep in that position. Suddenly, Yugi twitched violently and scared Malik half to death, causing him to jump back… into the punch table.
"EEK!" Malik screamed, his entire torso covered in cold, red juice and ice cubes. Bakura was laughing and Marik was too busy with Yami to notice. Ryou, being the type he is, was in hysterics and went over to Malik, helping him up. Yugi didn't even flinch, though he was wet too. When Malik was standing up, he shook his head to get the wet hair out of his eyes.
Ryou sighed and then noticed something, "… Um, Kilam?"
"Yeah…?"
"What's this?" He lifted a lock of Malik's hair and, when Malik saw it, he gasped. Parts of his blue hair dye had been washed out with the punch and it was turning blonde again. He immediately pulled it all back and turned to his Yami, whispering, "Marik! My hair's turning colors! We've got to get somewhere so we can get this over with and leave! I don't want Ryou knowing about this!"
Marik looked at his hikari and cringed, "Uh-oh…" He quickly faced Ryou, grabbing Yami as he did so, "Listen, we do think that Yami and Yugi are sick, so we're just going to take them somewhere where they can rest."
"Oh, okay…"
"Yeah, we'll be back!" He called, while running off with Malik, Yami and Yugi. When they were out of Ryou and Bakura's sight, they sighed and looked around. There really wasn't very many places to go. The whole gym was crowed and all the windows and doors had been locked to keep the teachers out.
But, of course, before any panicking could occur, Marik had a bright idea first. He decided to go behind the curtain of the DJ's booth. It was big enough and Tristan wouldn't mind… would he? Nah.
"Hey, Tristan." Malik called, pulling little Yugi off his leg, "Yami and Yugi are sick, will you let us hang out with them in the back?"
He nodded his head in time with the music, "Sure! I'm no scrooge! Mi casa es su casa." (A/N: I probably spelled that wrong, but oh well. I'm not Spanish.)
Marik grinned and crawled in with his hikari and they threw the boys onto the wooden floor of the DJ booth. They closed the red curtain and Tristan didn't even notice that Malik's hair was completely back to normal now.
