JT: I did it! I got my first review! And as always (from now on) I will reply to it.
kenmeishouri: Who knew two words could make me so uppity? As soon as I read your review I started jumping up and down trying not to scream of excitement! I even called my best friend and started talking about it even though she knows next to nothing about anime. By the way, I'm sorry it took so long. My family's been really hectic with the birth of my second cousin and my cat who was real close to me died, but that's still no excuse for my way-too-long tardiness (just like in school!) But now I promise to focus on my story (If you haven't forgotten about it by now --).
Yami B.: Damn, mortal! All that over one review?
JT: What? I had a lot to cover. Oh, and before I forget, here I want you readers to meet my muses! (You can see the following explanations in my profile.)
Fergon- a computer-sized red bird with yellow-tipped wings and a pair of curved horns on his head. His talons have black tips and his beak has a black streak down the middle. He has three scythe-ended tails and sharp eyes framed by a turquoise eye of Horus. He's a real smart-ass and very lazy.
Zear- my Sweet, innocent and adorable Kuribou. He has three Keaton tails (yellow fox tails with black ends) and a small white horn on his umm... forehead. He is always somewhere in the scene. And, like in the show, he can only say parts of his name. He is easily offended.
Shen- my miniature purple dragon with the ability to change colors and yellow eyes. He's very mischievous and is rarely seen due to insane plots on taking over the world.
Goragig- a light brown metallic spider monster that has four arms it uses to cling onto someone's shoulders and waist and a white streak down his back. He serves as my comedic and oblivious muse. Bugs the heck out of Joey.
Hey, by the way! I'm going to do quote of the chapter from now on as a little gift!
Quote of the chapter:
K.C. (initials are for secrecy): Grammar? What, like we can't speak good?
Disclaimer: I will never own any recognizable characters in this fic, nor do I own Burgers Galore from Shaman King.
Chapter Four: Preparations
The touching moment between brothers over, Yugi spoke up, " So, Kaiba, I was thinking we could use one of your planes to get us there, if you don't mind that is," he said carefully choosing his words.
"Fine by me, but I'm driving."
With that they set a time and headed towards their respected homes to pack for the trip that would take place two days later. They were to meet at the Kaiba mansion.
"So Joey, how do you feel about your girlfriend coming with us?" Tristen asked of his best friend, feeling the need to push his buttons as he helped him pack. Joey's apartment contained four rooms: A bathroom, two bedrooms, one for him and the other for his dad, and an extra room with kitchen supplies, a couch, and a television. Joey's room, as would be expected, was a pigsty. Comics littered the floor and what looked like it was once a chair. One of the pillows from his bed had fallen off and was lying amidst clothes and other junk. A computer was along a wall and was pretty tidy, except for the sock hanging off it. The "help" Joey was receiving would have been greatly accepted if Tristen were actually HELPING instead of just nosily going through random stuff on the ground and poking fun at him the whole time
"I already told you Tristen, she's not my girl friend."
"If you say so… Hey, isn't this your third grade math book?"
"That's it, get out!" he said as he pushed him out the door.
"This is the closet, you moron!" he said. As the blonde opened up the closet and pushed him out the real door, he made sure to call back, "Don't forget to call your girlfriend!" before leaving.
Joey sighed as he picked up the phone and mentally thanked his buddy for reminding him. "Hey, Mai?" he said hesitantly when someone answered (what? The only girls he's probably ever called are Tea and his sister.)
"Joey?"
"Yup! So what's up?" he asked back to his usual grin.
"Well I was painting my nails," she said sounding rather annoyed at being interrupted. "So, why are you calling, Joseph?"
"Well…" So he explained everything about the trip and asked her to come.
"Well alright I'll come. But you boys are carrying my luggage like real gentlemen," she said, not really giving poor Joey a chance (A/N: Joey: Does she ever?) and returning to her previous task. "Now where'd I put that hot pink nail polish?"
Meanwhile at Tristen's house…
Tristen was still laughing as he walked into his apartment (A/N: o.0 Geeze how long can he laugh!). He then proceeded to grab the phone and flop down on the sofa in the middle of the living room. He looked on the back of the phone where the words 'Important phone numbers' were written down, with a list underneath which read:
Joey's- 604-8992
Burgers Galore- 444-8232
911-911 (A/N: Wow who saw that coming?)
Turtle Game Shop-351-8982
Bakura's- 604-7737
Tea's-315-6460
Yusuke's-604-3169
So gazing at Yusuke's number, he dialed.
"Hello?" said Yusuke
"Hey! It's Tristen! What's up?"
"Eh, the usual. Skipped school, mom's drunk and passed out on the couch, while I'm deep into my Inuyasha manga. So, why are you calling?"
So Tristen told Yusuke everything and asked if he wanted to come along.
"Sweet! Can I bring a few friends though?"
"Sure! The more help the better." And with that they hung up.
So as everyone lay in their beds that night, they wondered what adventures would await them in just two days. Well, except for Joey who thought about what he'd have for breakfast (Joey: The most important meal of the day! ).
