Going Nowhere at the Speed of Light
Chapter 3: The Evils of Annoying Yamis, and Some New Friends

---WITH TEA, DUKE, AND MAI---

"Tea, where are the dice?" asked Duke.

"They don't have any." Tea replied. "How about singing a friendship song instead?"

Duke's eyes bugged out. "WHAT! NO DICE?" he yelled. "AND I DO NOT WANT TO SING A FRIENDSHIP SONG!"

"He's clearly over-reacting..." said Mai, shaking her head. "I'm going to find some new makeup..." She walked away, leaving Tea and Duke to fight.

"Attention, K-Mart shoppers," said a voice over the loudspeaker. "We close in 5 seconds, have a nice day! 3... 2... 1. We are now closed. Good night!"

---IN THE SNACK AISLE---

"NOOOOOO! DAMN TEDDY GRAHAMS!" a boy yelled. "If I weren't so hungry, I would be gone by now!"

---BY THE MAIN ENTRANCE---

Yugi and everyone else dashed up to the main entrance. Yami, Bakura, Tristan, Joey, and Duke tried to ram the door down, with absolutely NO luck.

"It's no use," Yami said. "And the K-mart will be closed for 2 weeks..."

"WHAT!" everyone screamed in disbelief.

"Yep." Yami confirmed. "I saw the sign when I came in."

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?" they all yelled in reply.

"You never asked..." Yami said meekly.

Before they all could kill Yami..the boy from the snack aisle walked up.

"So this is what the commotion is all about..." he muttered.

"TIRAN! There you are! Where'd ya go? I found something really cool I wanted to show you." Kat said as she approached the group, followed by Marik and Malik, with Marik following so closely that he's almost bumping into her. She glanced back at Marik and sweatdropped.

"I got hungry," Tiran replied. Kat rolled her eyes, grinning.

"So, we're trapped for two whole weeks?" Tiran asked. "Crap..."

"Whaat!" Kat exclaimed. "Crap is right! But I suppose it could be worse, like being trapped in an insane asylum with a bunch of crazy people..." ((Kat: I mean no offense to crazy people. n.n))

"And that's probably where we'll all be sent to if we ever get out of this damn place..." Bakura grumbled.

At this point, Tiran and Kat walked away from the crowd.

"I guess we shouldn't tell them WE got them trapped, huh?" Tiran whispered to Kat.

"Yeah," Kat whispered back.

Right then, Marik walked up to Kat.

"Hi..." he said, staring again. "Grr..." Kat growled, annoyed.

"Should I take care of him?" Tiranwhispered toKat, cracking his knuckles.

"Please do," she replied. "He's starting to get on my nerves.."

Kat pinned Marik's arms behind his back, and Tiran whacked him in the back of the neck, knocking him out. Then they walked back, with Tiran dragging Marik.

"Hi," Tiran said. "We had to take care of something, and Marik was hit with a falling teddy bear."

"But-" Yugi started, confused.

"It was filled with candy!" Kat falsely explained.

"Oh... can I have some?" Yugi asked.

"I sent it to the shadow realm," Tiran told him.

"Aww.."

"Umm... we should make camp, seeing as we will be here for a LONG time..." suggested Kat.

"Can it be in the toy department?" Yugi asked hopefully.

"Nope." Tiran answered. "It's gonna be in the middle, now follow me."

"What are we getting?" Yami asked as they followed Tiran.

"Tents an' stuff like dat, right?" Joey speculated.

"How many tents do we need?" asked Duke.

"I want candy..." Yugi remarked suddenly. "Oh wait, I forgot I brought some!" He pulled out his bag of candy with a HUGE grin and began devouring it (the candy, not the bag). "YAY!"

"Oh, boy," Yami muttered, sighing. "Yugi's gonna get hyper again..."

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, MARIK!" Malik shouted uselessly at Marik, who didn't reply because he was still unconscious, and being carried by Tristan.

Kat, I'm gonna wake him up now, 'kay? Tiran said telepathically to Kat. Sure Kat replied. Tiran smacked Marik.

"OWWWW! ...huh? Where am I?" Marik asked groggily as he woke up.

"GREAT, BECAUSE OF DUKE AND TEA, MY MAKE-UP IS RUINED!" Mai yelled suddenly.

"As long as me an' Serenity are together, everything will be okay!" Tristan exclaimed happily.

"Oh, Tristan..." Serenity replied as they hugged, while Duke and Joey glared at them.

"I'm sick and tired of all this!" Bakura shouted. "I didn't even want to come to this damned place anyway!"

"Well, I'm also tired AND I'm hungry, so would you please SHUT THE HELL UP, BAKURA!" Ryou screamed in reply, breathing heavily and glaring.

Everyone stared at him.

"What?" Ryou asked defensively. "I can curse and yell..."

"ALRIGHT! STOP SHOUTING AT EACH OTHER!" Tiran demanded, exasperated.

"Yeah, that's not nice!" Tea said, beginning a friendship rant. "We should all be friends!" She began singing. "Why can't we be friends, why can't we be friends? Because friendship makes the world go round and--"

BAM! Tea disappeared in a bright flash of light.

"Who sent her to the shadow realm?" Yami asked, as everyone looked around, startled. "I did!" a girl's voice replied. "She just wouldn't shut up!"

"Tale!" Tiran exclaimed. "All you need is some duct tape!"

"Oh...okay!" She grabbed some duct tape, brought Tea back, and taped her mouth shut.

"I'd like to know something, Tristan..." Ryou began, somewhat calmer. "If your Hummer can seat 15, why were Marik, Malik, Bakura and I stuffed into the back?"

"..you're right. Why were we?" Bakura demanded. "That was VERY annoying..."

"Uhh..." Tristan replied, glancing around with shifty eyes.

Yugi, still stuffing his face with candy, looked over at Yami, who was staring at Tale with an odd expression on his face.

"Why're you looking at her like that, Yami?" Yugi asked.

Yami blinked and shook his head, and looked away from Tale rapidly. "..no reason..." he muttered in reply.

End of Chapter 3

Tiran: Well, this is turning out better and better.

Kat: Oh, and the reason we changed the format is because we can convey the action that will be coming up in later chapters better this way.

--Tea slips out of the duct tape somehow--

Tea: Hi! I'd like to sing a song! I love you, you love-

Tale: What! OH, NO!

She hurriedly puts new tape over Tea's mouth

Tea: -.-U

Tiran: That was quick...

Kat: I wonder how long she'll go on with the disclaimer next time... o.o

Tale: ... --gets GIANT roll of duct tape ready--

Tiran: oO;

Kat: So long for now!

Tiran: Oh yeah, and we might introduce a new character in the next chapter.

Kat: Oh yeah, to all Tea/Anzu-lovers, we're not trying to make you mad or anything, but Tea-bashing is just so much fun, we couldn't help it!
