Chapter 3
"You kids have a good time in London!" Grandpa Motou waved good bye to Yugi and his friends as they got off the car. "Bye grandpa! We'll give you a call when we get there." As they entered the airport, they stopped in front of schedule screen, Jounouchi pointed at their flight info on the screen, "Alrighty, our flight leaves in about 45 minutes at gate A1." As they started walking Honda walked up to Jou, "Hey, are these tickets first class?" Jounouchi shook his head, "Nope! Man, wish they were."
"Since we have some time to kill, let's have some breakfast at that small McDonald's restaurant." Jounouchi pointed as he dragged his luggage towards the food court. "Jounouchi wait up!" Yugi called; as he followed his friend as well as the others followed him. Jounouchi and Honda were in line to get the orders while Yugi and everyone else sat next to a view of the planes outside, Otogi looked down at his watch, "Let's see, we've got 39 minutes left. That's enough time for Jounouchi and Honda to pig out."
Jounouchi took a huge bite on his 6th burger, and then turned to Anzu, "Say, do you know what time is it?" Anzu looked down at her watch and then replied back, "Well, I think we should start heading to the gates now, hey Yugi, how long will it take to get to California?" Yugi helped threw away the trash as he answered, "Well, I'd say about 15 hours. You guys got enough batteries and charged iPods?" "Oh yeah! Got a bagful for my Game boy." Jounouchi said as he threw his bag over his shoulders, "Say, after California, its then to New York, then London, right?" Yugi nodded as they all started to walk to the gates. Then, Honda spoke, "So, since it's about 15 hours, do you think they got great movies showing on the plane?"
As they reached the gate, many people were sitting, napping, and chatting with others, waiting to get on board. "Let's sit over there, those seats aren't taken." Anzu pointed. Yugi dropped his bag next to him, and started to take out his dueling deck, Jounouchi watched him then spoke, "Practicing dueling, huh?" Yugi nodded, "Yup! Also in England, there's a duel tournament, maybe I want to duel after we have our tour around the places." Jounouchi nodded as he started to take out his deck, "Say, I'll practice with you." "Thanks Jou!" Anzu and the rest began to turn their attention to the two with interest.
"Alright! Gate A1, to Los Angeles California, no boarding! First Class, at Line 1, and regulars, lines 2 to 5." The gate man said aloud. Everyone began to pick up there bags and luggages, and began walking towards the gate. "Man, will you look at that, first class is getting to the plane faster then the low class." Jounouchi said to Yugi. Yugi answered, "Well, at least we have time to get to our seats, hey, are we sitting together or apart?" Jounouchi smiled, "Don't worry; we're all sitting together, not to worry pal!"
In the plane
Yugi and friends sat next to each other, Bakura was reading a great novel, Otogi was chatting with some girls behind him, Anzu was reading a magazine about the great places around London, Honda was watching Fast and the Furious, Jounouchi was busy playing with his Game Boy advance, and Yugi was reading a King Arthur novel, on the history.
As hours passed by, Yugi's eyes slowly closed, then, everything went black. Everything was calm, and soothingly, then suddenly, he opened his eyes, to find himself, in a forest, "Hello?" he called out. No answer came to him, from near or afar. Suddenly, he could hear the trotting of horses coming by. Yugi quickly jumped behind a tree to hide from the incoming stangers. As they drew near, Yugi could see light banners raised, blue-colored, with a dragon crest upon them. "Those symbols look familiar." Yugi said to himself. Soon the riders came even closer, wearing shinning armor, in the front, Yugi saw a young man, about 17 years of age, his hair was golden brown, and he couldn't seem to see his eyes. Yugi wanted to call out, to ask for directions, but then a voice called out to him. . .
"YUGI! WAKE UP MAN!" Yugi jumped wide awake on his seat, to see that his friend Jounouchi woke him up. "Jounouchi! Hey, what is it?" A stewardess came up to them, then Jounouchi answered his friend, "Dinners here man! What do you want? They're serving chicken pasta, with salad and garlic bread, and Roast beef with vegetables, with some fries and fruits." Yugi yawned and stretched out his arms, "Um, I'll have the chicken pasta, and miss, what drinks do you serve?" The lady replied, "Well, we got milk, juice, apple juice, and soda for you kids." Yugi frowned, "Um, I'm not a kid, but I'll just have juice."
"And for you sir?" The stewardess said to Jounouchi/ "I'll have the roast beef, as for drinks, I'll have root beer." As they ate, Yugi ate his pasta, for he's too busy, thinking about his latest dream, and comparing it to the previous ones.
"Yugi, what is it? Did another dream occur lately?" the spirit spoke with concern. "You could tell huh?" Yugi asked as he took a sip of his drink. "What was it this time Yugi?" Yugi replied, "Well, when almost everyone around here is asleep, I'll tell you."
Soon, almost everyone's light was closed, few people were still awake, Yugi's friends were all asleep, as he was still awake, then he called to Atem. "Alright, now we can talk." Atem's face became dead serious as he listened carefully. "I was in a forest, soon, a group of knights came riding along, I recognized the crests on the banners they held, and I think they were King Arthur's men. And riding in the front, was a guy, who looked like a teenager." Atem then rubbed his chin, "Hmmm. . .Do you think these dreams of yours have something to do with King Arthur history?" Yugi sighed heavily, "Yeah, but what do they mean?"
He leaned down on his pillow, "Well, we got 7 hours to go, before we reach California, I don't know if another dream may happen if I sleep again, do you think it will?" Atem sighed, "I don't know, it could happen. Well, get some sleep now, it's still a long way to get to England."
Yugi was able to sleep peacefully this time, nothing has happened, no strange dreams occurred.
"Yay! 15 more minutes before we reach California!" Jounouchi said aloud. Yugi woke up to see a light from his window, "We're almost there?" he asked and yawned. Bakura spoke, "Yes, look below you, you can see tiny cities." Anzu spoke out, "Sure it's great to know we're in LA, but we still have a long way to go to get to London, we still have to go to New York, then London." Soon the seat-belt sign appeared above, then the captain spoke on the intercom, "Ladies and Gentlemen, we have arrived in Los Angeles, California, we have five minutes to land, so please have your seat belts fastened, and we hope you enjoyed our flight with us, thank you, we hope to see you again."
In the Los Angeles Airport
"Awright! California here we are! Our next gate is at 21H, and we got a good 25 minutes to get there." Jounouchi said as he looked at their next tickets. "Two more flights to go, how long do you think is this one?" Honda asked. Yugi answered, "I think it's like about 7 hours, and then from New York to London, it's 5 hours." "Thank goodness there are some free sockets near our gate, so I can hook up my laptop to recharge my iPOD." Bakura said as he sat down the chair as they made it to their gate on time. Anzu sat up and headed towards the gift shop, "Guys, I'll be heading to the gift shop for some snacks and some gum, you know, incase you get ear-poppings. Anyone want anything?" Otogi handed her some cash, "Oh, yeah, could you get me some of those STAR magazines; I wanna know what's going on between the stars Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt." Honda raised and eyebrow, "Since when have you learned about famous stars?" Otogi replied, "FYI, the girls on the plane talked about it, I mean, why would Brad divorce Jennifer for that Jolie lady?"
"The flight to New York in Gate 21H is now boarding." A woman's voice called at the gate. "C'mon guys, this time it's only 7 hours. Then 5 hours to go to reach our destination." Yugi said, as he showed his ticket to the lady. "Well, at least we're still sitting together guys. And my iPOD is fully charged." Bakura said as he followed Yugi. Honda then spoke to Jounouchi, "Hey Jou, I also brought my DS with me, did you?" Jounouchi nodded with a cheesy grin, "Yup, did you bring your Mario Kart game? I'll play ya once in the air?" "You're on!"
"Ladies and Gentlemen, you may now remove you're seat belts and move freely until the sign turns on again." The captain spoke. Bakura continued his novel while he had his iPOD on, Otogi chatted along with more girls, "So whose side are you girls on? Aniston? Or Jolie? I myself am on Aniston's side!" Anzu watched The Notebook on the mini TV on the chair in front of her, Jounouchi and Honda are both playing with their DS, and Yugi sat quietly practicing more dueling, coming up with new combinations and strategies.
Soon a stewardess came, asking what drinks and snacks they want. Yugi spoke, "Um, I'll have the mini PJ sandwich and apple juice." Jounouchi passed the snacks to Yugi, and then continued to his game with Honda. "So, Yugi, are you feeling alright this time?" Atem asked curiously. Yugi replied as he went over his deck, "Okay I guess, I mean, I don't think I'll have another dream for the next 5 hours. And then on the next flight, I think I'll be okay." Atem nodded, "That's good, and if it turns to be more, don't be afraid to tell me or the rest of everybody. I'm sure they want to help you no matter what." "Thank you pharaoh." Yugi smiled cheerfully.
"Sigh. 1 more hour to go guys." Jounouchi said with his mouth full of tuna sandwich. "Gee, no fancy food this time, since it's not much of a long flight huh?" Honda said as he wiped his mouth. They both could hear Otogi with his loud conversations with some girls, "What? Well in my opinion, Brittney SHOULD divorce that Kevin dude, I mean, that guy is horrible!" Yugi read quietly, his brochure of great sight-seeings in England. "You know pharaoh, we should check out some of the castles. Oh! Look, they found the legendary sword Excalibur, and is displayed at a castle, claimed to be Camelot! We gotta check that out!" Atem replied, "Yes, England has some magnificent histories and legends."
New York City JFK Airport
"Okay, one more flight, and then we'll be at our destination! I think my butt's waking up now." Jounouchi said as they walked out of the gate and headed to the next one. Yugi looked at his new, and last ticket, "Gate 17B, flight leaves in about 15 minutes, let's hurry!" Anzu spoke to Jounouchi, "Hey Jou, what hotel are we staying at? Which one did the prize givers of the movie marathon said we'll be staying at?" Jounouchi smiled and replied, "Oh, they gave me enough money for us to stay at the London Marriot hotel, enough to stay until we go back home. They're just regular rooms, man, not the suites!" Yugi spoke, "At least we're staying at a fancy hotel instead of a motel right?" "Guy's got a point." Honda said.
"Get in line! They're already getting on board!" Otogi said as they all ran towards the gate. "He's our tickets miss!" Yugi said as he handed the gate lady his ticket. "Bye Statue of Liberty!"
On the plane
"Thank god this is the last flight!" Jounouchi said to Yugi. Yugi nodded and smiled, "Yeah, this time it's only 5 hours, and then we'll be there!"
