:Chapter Three:
Ring!
Ring!
Ring!
Tristan had decided that since Joey was obviously not planning to tell him Serenity's number, he would have to resort to other, more devious means, ones that only his vastly superior, cunning, obviously tactical mind could come up with, an idea that Joey would never, ever foresee with his puny brain.
Wait...what was his idea again?
Oh.
Maybe Yugi knew Serenity's number?
Well, even if he did, Yugi would have to answer the phone first. Which he wasn't.
Tristan sighed, listening to the phone ring again…and again…and again, wondering if anyone was planning on picking up the phone.
'Maybe they've gone somewhere' was his brilliant conclusion.
There was a click.
"You've reached the Motou residence." Yugi's cheerful voice came across the line.
"Answering machine…again. Why me?" Tristan closed his eyes and shook his head. "This is the second time today. Does someone really hate me or something?"
Across town, scrutinizing the numbers in his phone book, Joey sneezed.
"We can't come to the phone right…now. But if you'll…leave-" Yugi's seemed distracted, as if noticing something odd, and then suddenly cut off altogether. Faintly, Tristan could hear, "Yami, put the casserole down. Yami! You remember the last time you used the oven? We spent months winning tournaments just to pay back Grandpa…"
Yugi's voice returned to recorded norm. "Ahem. If you'll leave your name and number." Yugi's voice rose slightly in panic. "Yami, what do you mean Bakura told you..." Tristan held the phone away from his ear as a sudden increase in volume threatened to bust his eardrums. "No…NOT THE MICROWAVE EITHER! YAMI!" There came the sound of screaming. "YAMI! BATTERIES CAN NOT GO INTO THE MICROWAVE! THEY'LL-"
The last sentence was followed by an explosion, and then a beep.
Tristan hastily hung up the phone, deciding he didn't need to leave a message anyways.
"I think I'll uh…call someone else."
Mental note to self: never let Yami into the kitchen.
If Yugi lets him sign up for Home Ec, I need to change schools…fast.
