Two:
"What do you mean? You saying that this happens every year?" Marik hops, grabbing a box of fireworks and shaking them, awaiting the boom.
Yugi nods and grabs a small box of his usual fire poppers, "Yeah, but the ones that you have, you gotta light them before they go boom, Marik…" the little teen then snickers, "I thought it would be funny to do this when Kaiba and Joey were least expecting it…"
Nixx then takes the firework box from Marik, "Ya mean he doesn't suspect something?"
Yugi and the others jumped, "What the- how did you know we were here?"
"I saw you sneaking into the back yard through my bedroom window, it's not that hard to see someone when all you do is look out the window and wait for precious Mokuba to walk in and say hi to you…" he sighed dreamily…
Marik blinked, just noticing that the fireworks had been snatched from his grasp, "Hey! Give those back you turquoise haired freak, I saw 'em first!"
"Nyah, nyah, but I took them from you first…"
"I didn't notice until now, give them back NOW!" Marik cried out.
"I bet you were thinking about Malik strapped to a bed, weren't you?" Nixx nodded knowingly, nudging Marik's hikari as a crimson blush spread across both their faces, Nixx laughed aloud and nearly fell to the ground…
"WAS NOT! Though it does sound very appealing, I WAS NOT!"
Malik gulped hard and turned to walk away, when he was grasped by Bakura who pulled him back and somehow slingshot him to Marik, who smiled psychotically, "Malik-pretty!"
"Wh-when do we let off the fireworks?" Yami cowered (he hates fireworks), hands trembling as he brought them to his face…
"Now I guess."
Marik jumped once more and took back the box of fireworks from Nixx, ripping them open and grabbing his lighter from his back pocket, his first one was the rocketlighting the 'fire-maker' and watching it shoot up into the air and blow up, "YAY!"
Yugi looked up and watched as the rocket plummeted back down and right into Yami's head, rendering him unconscious, and then burst with laughter and walked over to his darker half, "Score, we knocked him out!"
Marik and Bakura high fived and did a routine pose one dark held the lighter and the other held the next firework
"You guys are evil!"
"It's our job; we're classified as your evil halfs, so… what further explanation do you need?" Bakura stated.
"BIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDSSSSSSSS!" Marik called out, watching the birds fly over his head as he made an attempt to jump up and catch one, that didn't work out too well.
"Birds?" Bakura tilted his head to the side, "Flying rats!"
Ryou twitched, "What the hell is a bloody flying rat?"
"Maybe he was referring to the pigeons or something." Yugi scratched his head and sat on the ground with his poppers, throwing them at his friends and then jumping back when Joey ran out of the Kaiba mansion, an annoyed look on his face, "JOEY!"
"WHAT THE HECK DO YOU IDIOTS THINK YOU ARE DOING? KAIBA'S GOING TO CALL THE POLICE IF YOU DON'T LEAVE THIS AREA IMMEDIATELY!"
Everyone shrugged and rolled their eyes, "We got Bakura."
Joey's mouth dropped to the ground and he wiped his eyes….
"WHEELER!" Seto screamed from behind, walking out of the house yeah, in the gravity defying coat… you can stop laughing now and clenching his fists by his sides, "I thought I told you to get these dorks out of my yard!"
"I'm trying! You don't give me enough time!"
"Time is money, Wheeler, and I don't like wasting it!"
"Shut up, it's not like you don't have plenty of it; does the word multi-billionaire ring a bell to you?"
"Oh, does the word mutt ring a bell to you? How about I use that money to buy you some Kibbles-n-Bits, a leash and a nice dog house!"
"RICH BOY!"
"ILL-BRED MUTT!"
Joey sticks out his tongue to Seto, who returns the favor and pokes out his tongue what an amusing picture and stomps his foot.
All stare and Marik once again lights a firework, letting the BOOM take over…
"KYAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Joey yelped, jumping into Seto's arms and knocking them both over…. "Ay, get off-a me, you rich ass hole!"
"I miss something?" Yami rubs his head, waking out of his blackout and then glancing up into the sky at the new firework, "Let me…" he sighs, knocking himself out as if he were to save the firework's trouble, meh! and falling back into his quiescence sleep rather short, ne?
"Well, it's the fourth of July, Seto and Joey are fighting… again. Marik is letting off all the fireworks, Malik is still paralyzed from embarrassment, Bakura is now hovering over Yami's body attempting to send him to the Shadow Realm… Nixx is laughing, and I really need a video camera, other than the surveillance cameras that Seto has set up to supposedly keep out intruders." Yugi sighed in one breath, strumming his fingers on his chin and then plopping down into a sitting position when Misty and Ash skated up on their roller blades.
"Hi Yugi!" Misty smiled, hooking arms with Ash and then looking around, "I thought Kaiba hated fireworks in his back yard."
"He does."
"Wouldn't he tell you to leave?"
"He did."
"What about Joey, did he yell at him?"
"He did."
"Have they fought and spilled threatening nick names yet?"
"They are."
Misty gasped, "See, I told you we missed something!"
Ash giggled and looked around the Kaiba mansion well, the backyard, "Not really, I mean, we did accidentally push Tea and Tristan off the cliff all the way over there!"
PAUSE.
Joey jumped away from Seto and stumbled in front of his little sister and Ash, "Wh-wh-wh-what did you do!"
"Hey, hey, hey… just because we pushed them off the cliff doesn't mean that there wasn't any water beneath it."
"H-h-h-h-h-how do you know, did you check?"
"Yeah?"
"So they did land in water?"
"Huh? No, we didn't check."
Joey's mouth trembled, "YOU SAID YOU DID!"
"Oh, I did, I lied, sorry." Ash roller bladed away yeah, over to Ryou and Misty hugged to her brother…
Joey cried and hugged his sister back, then pushed her away and stuck out his lower lip, "You were in that plot too! I knew you never liked Tristan, it was just a ploy!"
"Mmm, and what's your point?" Misty brushed off her skirt and then folded her arms over her chest, blinking twice, "I never really said I liked either one of them. I mean come on! Tea and her stupid friendship speeches, they get a little old… Friendship this and friendship that, friendship is honor and friendship is trust, blah dee blah dee blah! AND TRISTAN, that freak, I mean he could seriously kill someone with that hair of his! And he complains too much, how can you stand him? Besides, it's not like they're dead curses, get over it, ya big baby."
Yugi's cheek twitched and he stood on his feet, "Maybe Misty is supposed to be the older sibling and not you, Joey."
"Who's side are you on, Yug?"
"I was only stating the obvious, Joey, don't be mean."
Misty roller bladed off a few seconds later and stopped at Seto, who was messing with his coat, "Hello, Kaiba."
"Oh great, little Wheeler, what the heck do you want now? Gonna try and get your big brother to beat me up?" Seto grinned evilly.
"Maybe I can do it myself."
"Oh, can you?"
"Yeah, but right now I really don't feel like it, so just wait. I'll attack you when you least expect it." Misty began to blade off, "Oh, and Kaiba?"
The brunette looked up, a smug look on his face.
"Don't screw my big brother too hard."
AN: So, maybe that too could have been a little funnier. I call this the Joey and Seto torture chapter… Anyways, better move it along!
