This is the last chapter. I'm sorry to say that. This, at least, is coming along a lot faster than the others. Please read and review this chapter and, if possible, tell me what you think of my story overall. Thanks to all those who have dealt with me!
Thanks to Kiyama who reviewed my last chapter!
Last TimeOnce they all arrived back at Yugi's house, they all camped out in the living room with several blankets and pillows. Selene and Damien curled up on a recliner while Yugi and Yami lay together on the other one. Jason, Jake, and Derek (in that order) curled up in front of the couch.
On With The StoryJake woke up first that morning and lay for a moment between his two lovers before he realized that he was the first one awake. A wide grin split his face in two as he very carefully slid out from between Jason and Derek. He quickly placed a pillow between them so they wouldn't miss him for a while.
Taking a moment to observe the, for now, peaceful scene while he could. They he smirked evilly and headed toward the kitchen. First he went to the connected garage and fetched three buckets, a long rope, and some duct tape. When he went to the kitchen he picked up two things that he'd managed to buy over at the mall without anyone else noticing. Smirking, he cut the rope into six long pieces and three shorter pieces. He also took out three bowls. He taped a piece of short rope on each bowl, making a handle on each. He filled the buckets with water and added a bit of pink liquid that would stain skin pink, neon pink, and make sure that it would stay pink for several hours. He also put some white itching powder in each of the bowls. Then he got out several knives and made three double-strength poles by wrapping them together with duct tape.
Next he headed out and securely taped the makeshift poles to each of the three fan blades. Then he placed first the bucket and then the bowl onto the pole and taped the handles down. Then he attached one long rope to the bottom of each container. He carefully positioned them over the sleeping groups before taking the ropes, careful to keep them separate by what was in the container, and moving to the edge of the room. Counting to three silently in his mind, he pulled the strings attached to the buckets with the pink liquid.
It dumped over the three groups, completely soaking them. Selene and Yugi were lucky enough that they both jumped away out of instinct right before the itching powder got dumped on them.
Hearing the laughter, Selene instantly leapt toward the source of that laughter. Jake, expecting this to happen, ran. Selene gave chase, followed closely by Yugi while everyone else ran to the bathrooms because they started itching uncontrollably. The trio ran around the house while Jake sang merrily.
"All around the mulberry bush, my partners chase a loony. I run for my life!" he started to recite to the beat of "Pop Goes the Weasel."
Suddenly, Selene and Yugi both took a flying leap towards him and Jake went down like a sack of bricks. Selene flipped him over so he was face up and she was on top of him.
"What the hell did you do?" Selene growled while she held onto the front of the redhead's shirt with her quickly drying arms. Selene was currently straddling his chest with her knees up in his underarms. Yugi was currently witting on his feet so he couldn't kick his way out.
"I-I," Jake started gasping out between laughs, "I-I d-doused you all…with…with pink skin dye…a-and…itching powder!" Jake's laughs doubled.
Selene growled louder then grinned as she placed her still wet hands on his face, causing him to sputter. Yugi took her cue and started to place his wet hands onto Jake's sensitive stomach, making him struggle between protesting and laughing. Laughing won out of course.
Soon Damien and Yami came down with soaking hair and pink skin, both looking pissed.
Raising an eyebrow as Jake's currently very vulnerable position, Damien drawled, "Now what exactly is going on here?"
"Well, we just found out that the pink dye won't come out for a while and will only stain our skin. Thus I thought it appropriate that I give him a pink face while Yugi gave him pink ribs. The tickling was just an added bonus."
Damien rolled his sapphire eyes and shot a look at Yami to see him doing the same to see their respective lovers acting like vengeful children. Then he grinned and decided to help them. Hey, what goes around comes around. By the time poor Jake was finally released, all four of his teammates, Yugi, and Yami had had a turn at his ribs. They also weaseled out that the dye would last, approximately, six hours. That had earned him another hard tickling by everyone present.
Finally, satisfied by the fact that Jake could no long speak any coherent words, Selene and Yugi climbed off of the redhead.
"Hey you guys, what time is it anyway?" Selene suddenly asked, curious.
"It's about noon, why?" Yugi replied after glancing at the clock in the living room.
"That means the dye will wear off about six," Jason chimed in as he glared at his still incapacitated lover.
"And six is…" Damien trailed off, the fact that this was their last day for this visit hitting home, "when we need to head to the airport."
Everyone went silent, they too remembering that they had been scheduled to leave at 6:45.
"Well," Jake exclaimed as he finally finished with his fits, "why don't we just hang out until then! I can make lunch!"
"Oh hell no," the emerald-eyed girl interrupted, "last time you made lunch, we all ended up sick. You are not allowed to make lunch. I can, and someone else can help me."
Jake pouted as Derek and Damien volunteered to help Selene while the others went to see what movies they had.
They ended up eating sobe with cokes all around while they watched The Grudge, the movie that Yugi had dug out of the pile of DVD's that lay beside the TV.
All too soon, it was time six, and the pink dye had, thankfully, worn off all the way. Sadly, the Venetors grabbed all the clothes they'd bought at the mall when they'd first gotten there and had headed out to catch the bus, a cleaner one this time. They arrived at the airport and went straight to the jet sent by the Venetors' organization.
"Well…," Selene started, still unsure about how to continue despite how many times it'd happened, "I guess this is goodbye."
"No, just see you later," Yugi replied, "you do have to come back yet again after all."
"Of course," Jake grinned, "I still have many more pranks up my sleeve and I need more vic…I mean helpers when it comes to testing them out."
Yami rolled his ruby eyes and offered the Venetors a smile, "Be sure that you come back soon. This visit wasn't what one would call a vacation."
"No problem, we'll just ask for time off soon," Damien smirked, knowing that the other Venetors were rolling their eyes at the idea that the organization would give them one easily.
"We deserve it from them anyway," Jason continued, "so we'll be back soon to annoy you again."
"You heard them," Selene smiled, "I'll make the bastards in charge give us time off if I have to. Just wait around and we'll surprise you."
"Yep, we couldn't have you expecting us after all," Derek smiled as he looked across at the two nearly identical yet opposite tri-haired lovers.
"Good, I'll be sure that we don't leave Jake alone next time," Yugi grinned, knowing that it would be pointless to be upset over them leaving because they would be back before he knew it.
Yami and Yugi waved as the plane flew slowly out of site, knowing that while the parting was sad, they would see their odd friends again soon enough.
The end.
I finally finished. And it's really sad too. I now have to let go of so many of my favorite characters! Well, I hope you at least liked how this story went, please read and review.
And I would like to say thanks to everyone who reviewed this story. Thank you for sticking with me!
