Here's three. Wow, two chapters in one day, I'm doing good. I'll try to get four up before I go to work. But for now, enjoy! And sorry that this is short.
Chapter 3
Marry Vivian?
The next day, Vivian pushes a few tree branches aside to see Yugi's cottage with Rain grazing some grass. "Oh boy, Yugi is going to get the surprise of his life, huh Vivian?" Panic says as he stands beside Vivian, all dressed up in a beautiful white gown with red rose patterns on the skirt and wearing white heels with the straps wrapped around her ankles.
"Yes, today is his lucky day." Vivian glances at the blue sky with a dreamy sigh, before releasing the branch and it smacks Panic in the mouth, leaving leaves stuffed into his mouth.
Appearing in the area where an outdoor wedding is set up, Vivian clears her throat to grab everyone's attention. "I would like to thank all of you for coming to my wedding. But first I need to go in and propose to the boy." This had caused many to laugh at her joke, but Shane just remained in the shade of a tree, back against the hard wood, his arms crossed over his chest and he lets out a snort.
Then she turns back toward Panic. "Now when Yugi and I step out of that door…"
Panic nods his head, getting the idea. "I know. I strike up the band!" With everything all set, Vivian then makes her way to the front door, with Rain watching her closely with a nasty glare.
Inside, Yugi and Ryou are playing the card game Against Humanity when they heard a knock on the door. With Ryou putting the cards up, Yugi checks the window next to the door to see Vivian in a white dress with roses on the skirt. Letting out an annoyed groan, Yugi opens the door with Vivian just allowing herself in. "Vivian, what a surprise. I didn't think you would be here today."
"Isn't it though? I'm just full of surprises for just the right people." Vivian seductively approaches Yugi as Ryou joined his side, just as annoyed at her arrival as Yugi is. "You know Yugi, there's not a single guy in town who wouldn't love to be in your shoes. Today your dreams will become a reality."
What could she know about his dreams. Both Yugi and Ryou wonder what could she really be doing her. "What do you know about his dreams, Vivian?"
"I know plenty! Here, picture this; a rustic lodge, my latest won trophy now place on a shelf, and my darling husband rubbing my sore back. While the young ones playing with Spirit, Rain and Kiryu outside while it's still a cool Autumn day."
"Kiryu?"
"My dragon companion, of course."
"Imagine that." Yugi then picks up his book and Ryou puts their card game away so there won't be any possibilities that Vivian could ruin them.
"Do you know who that darling husband will be?"
Shane Jordan since he loves you. Both Yugi and Ryou thought. "Let me think."
"He's you, my Yugi." Vivian starts to come onto him more flirtatious.
How typical. "Vivian, I'm speechless, I really don't know what to say to this."
Cornering him at the door with Ryou standing off to the side, Vivian says in a seductive manner that the two boys didn't like, "Then say you'll take me as your wife."
"I'm very sorry, Vivian. But I just feel that…" Yugi slowly reaches for the doorknob with Ryou sneaking up behind her. "You're just not the right one for me!" Just Vivian is going in to kiss him, Yugi opens the door and just as he steps off to the side, Ryou pushes her hard out of the house and into the mud puddle.
As soon as she landed in the muddy water, Panic strikes up the the band. Laughing at the stunt they pulled on her, Yugi and Ryou high-five before shutting the door.
Finally noticing where Vivian had landed, Panic had the band stop playing and help Vivian up on her feet, with her dress completely ruined. "So how did it go with the proposal?"
Grabbing Panic by the collar of his shirt, Vivian snaps, "I will have Yugi as my husband. Make no mistake about that!" and dropped him in the mud.
"Touchy." Panic snorts as a few band members help him out.
After a while, Yugi and Ryou peek outside through the front door. "Is she gone?" Yugi asks Rain as they step down the porch. "Can you believe it. She asked me to marry her! Me, the husband of that bitch?"
Mister Vivian
Can't you just see it?
Mister Vivian
Her darling husband
No ma'am, not me
I guarantee it
I want much more
than this provincial life
Running out into the fields behind his home, Yugi desires to be free of this life he has in the village and have a life of an adventure. Staying close behind him, Ryou and Rain follow him into the great open area where he can scream out to the heavens.
I want adventure
in the great wide somewhere
I want it more
than I can tell
Laying on his side on the cool earth, Yugi allows the wind to play with his hair as the dandelions bend to the wind and Ryou soon joins him with Rain staying close by with a watchful eye out for anyone that would ruin this peaceful moment for her friend.
And for once
it might be grand
To have someone
understand
He had also wished that there would be someone else that would understand him more than anyone else, like his grandfather and Ryou.
I want so
much more
than they've
got planned
Just then, Spirit ran out of the woods. Turning to see the horse a little freaked out, Yugi and Ryou get back on their feet and help calm Spirit when they noticed that Solomon is not on his back. With Ryou steadying him and Rain coming over, Yugi asks, "Where's grandpa? Where is he, Spirit?"
"Yugi, we need to find him. Spirit will take us to him." Ryou says as he mounts Rain. Seeing that he has a good point, now that Spirit has calmed down, Yugi mounts the steed and allowed Spirit to lead them to where he last saw Solomon.
