Okay here is chapter 2 of the revamped Stranded
HISTORY
The group basically slept the shock off so it is the next morning now.
Chapter2: Shacking with a stranger
"Morning Yugi, my good friend" Maeko was of course up but had not cooked any thing yet which Yugi for some reason found strange. "Who shall cook breakfast today?" Maeko had a great smile on his face with an obvious love for the day ready for it to come.
"Uh I don't know we should wait till everyone's up before that is decided," Yugi said unknowingly giving Maeko the idea that he must wake every one up immediately.
"WAKE UP MY FRIENDS COME DOWN HERE, THERE IS SOMETHING THAT WE MUST DO," Maeko shouted basically waking everyone most came down, Kaiba was the only one to refuse and whine about the noise, so Maeko just kept calling him, "KAIBA COME DOWN HERE, IT IS IMPORTANT," Kaiba eventually came down once he realized Maeko wasn't going to shut up until he did.
"What is it," The drowsy Kaiba came down still half asleep and groaning loudly scratching his hair and seemingly out of character, he walked into the edge of a doorway and hitting his head making him fall down into the ground.
"Seto not again," Mokuba covered his face with one hand as he picked himself off the floor too tired to be embarrassed.
Maeko continued, "Who will be cooking today's breakfast?" Soon enough Maeko had glares coming his way and he just said, "I am sorry to wake you but Yugi told me we must wait till you were all up before we decided that," and Yugi got glares from every one except Kaiba who was barley conscious.
"Well let's decide this fairly," Tristan thought for a second and somehow he and Joey synchronized, "ROCK, PAPER, SCIZZORS the winner gets to choose the chef for today's meals,"
"Ready all of my friends ROCK, PAPER, SCIZZORS," Maeko cried as everyone but Kaiba still in low brain power early mode.
"Yes, Tea, Yugi, Maeko, you are out of dis," Joey rejoiced but it soon was only him and his sister.
"Ready Joey," Serenity smiled kindly and it was time for the final showdown...
"ROCK,
PAPER,
SCIZZORS, way to go Serenity paper beats rock Joey," Duke and Tristan praised Serenity's victory.
"Ah can you cook big brother, you make the best pancakes, I get to pick lunch and dinner cooks too don't I?"
"That was the deal," Tristan said.
"Uh then can you and Duke can make lunch and dinner then Tristan," Serenity did the usual innocent smile and went upstairs to do her hair and Joey just began to make pancakes.
"They're actually not half bad Joey, where'd you learn to cook," Tristan complimented Joey's cooking and began eating it a lot quicker when a man walked in.
"Sorry to disturb your breakfast but I am here to welcome you to this island and Mr. Tsunami I neglected to mention you will be sharing with the person who booked this place and was generous enough to allow you to stay until you are able to go, Miss Cherryse Star, I believe it was" the man said.
"Oh that is alright Mr. Skite we do not mind this at all," Maeko said smiling, "We are lucky we have generous strangers like this person in this world."
"She should be here in a few minutes, good day," Skite walked off leaving the group to eat.
"Great a stranger living with us, that's all we need right now," Seto said in a very irritable mood.
"You better be nice Kaiba or you might end up sleeping outside," Joey remarked smirking, on national day of smirking.
"What is it to you mongrel,"
"Well I think you should just be nuet... I am not a dog," Joey cried in response to Kaiba's remarks censoring them for certain younger viewers who we will probably totally forget at a later date.
"KNOCK, KNOCK anybody at home in here," a girl about 17 years old opened up the door and grinned seeing the many people she said, "Hey I'm Cherry, wazzup people, nice to meet you!"
"Hello Miss Cherry I am Maeko Tsunami we are grateful for you generosity,"
"You must be the 'person' we have to stay with," Kaiba growled, still in a grump about having to share with not only the poor enemies he pretty much hated, but also this chirpy little girl. "Whatever just stay out of my way."
"So who woke you up too early, and on the wrong side of the stick?"
"Maeko did but he's always like this; the time he was woken up has nothing to do with that," Joey again snickered and smirked.
"Do you want to have some pancakes Cherry?" Serenity asked smiling kindly, very upfront "My brother Joey made them," Serenity looked at Joey and took a big bite of the pancake.
"No thanks I already ate," Cherry backed away from the people eating at the table.
"Don't worry hon. they isn't poison Joey is actually a pretty good cook," Mai smiled and also took a bite of the pancakes.
"I would love to but it looks like you are all out besides I need to do some 'work'," Cherry was about to leave but Yugi asked, "Uh your room is that one with the balcony right, by the way where were you last night you didn't come down here?"
"I was out checking some local scenery out; I just arrived yesterday morning and I was out and when I heard a plane crash landed nearby and the people in it needed a place to crash for about two weeks I decided to let them stay if they help out around here, Mr. Skite owns this place and he was fine with it besides I don't want to be stuck on this island all by my lonesome self with just islanders I need someone who has some sense of outside civilization to just hang out with, oh and you are?"
"Yugi Moto!"
"Hey Yugi" she said smiling to him, "well I gotta jet, work ya know!" she said as she jetted up the stairs to her room.
"Speaking of working," Kaiba got up and went to his briefcases and out of one pulled a laptop and began typing into it.
"Great I thought this would be a chance to stop him working," Mokuba sighed and walked up to Kaiba and saw his charger and took it along with his mobile phone and electronic diary, Mokuba surprisingly got away with it while Seto was absolutely concentrated on his work.
LUNCH
"Hey all, I'm buggering off after this so uh if anything important needs to be said say it when I'm eating, on that subject what's for eats?" Cherry smiled and walked into the kitchen where the table was covered by different foods which were a result of the two cook's efforts to impress Serenity.
"WHERE ARE THEY?" Kaiba stormed into the room and said, "MY CHARGER FOR MY LAPTOP AND MY PHONES ARE MISSING!"
"Cool your jets dude, your name is Kaiba right relax you will need to I am putting you's to work tomorrows anyways, you know to work off the room! Oh and before I forget, I am getting you some clothes, seeing how most of you are going to be stuck with what you have there," Cherry was definitely in a perky, hungry mood and began chewing down the food and smirked when she saw Joey with sauce all over his hands and said, "Joey, James or whatever you need to wipe that ketchup off ya face,"
"Oh sorry," and it happened Joey got ketchup all over his face causing the room to burst into laughter as Joey just sat there thinking he had got it all off.
"Oh yeah, Cherry, Seto doesn't have a size his clothes are specially tailored for him," Mokuba perked up taking a liking to her.
"I see….stand up!" she said pointing to Kaiba eyes fixated seriously on him as she said, "I think I should be able to take a guess….if not, then I will have to take you with me next time! Wow look at the time, I have to jet, I will have to catch you guys…la…ter!" she waved as she jumped out the door
"She's a different kid, that's all I'm saying guys we could do some investigating into her," Mai who was clearly bored and was seeking some form of entertainment which wasn't a certain Wheeler boy said.
"What are you talking about Mai; she is obviously just a nice Samaritan," Maeko cried defending the girl.
Joey smirked looking at Maeko and said, "I think little Maeko has a thing for Cherry,"
"What are you talking about land lover?"
"You know the girl we are living with," Joey laughed pointing out the door.
"I don't have a 'thing' for Cherry," Maeko was going very red and shouting louder.
"Then you will help us spy on her, you can't have any moral objection, seeing as you don't have a thing for her!" Mai and Joey said as they trapped him.
"Alright but I don't want to do anything underhanded, just some find straight answers about her,"
"Well alright we can find out things by asking her and maybe just a few small accidents," Mai was definitely in a 'zone' and smiling as she and every one chowed down plotting their evils.
IN THE LOUNGE AFTER LUNCH
"I knew it you all want in," Mai smiled seeing everyone turned up to plot. "We will have investigations in different departments like teams, like a game, Alright we need history, to be divided into different departments," Mai was really into it now.
"If we have eleven people we should have two or three in each department, volunteers?" Joey said being the co-main plotter in the teams.
"What about family?" Serenity asked.
"Family History department, Serenity," Mai said in response, putting Serenity in that place.
"I'll do that then," Serenity smiled and once again Tristan and Duke volunteered to do something Serenity was doing.
"At least they're not in the Love department, they are hopeless," Tea said.
"I shall look for her prior friends, who shall join me?" Maeko said going to but not too far from love.
"How bout Yugi," Tea volunteered the King of games.
"I'll do spying then shall I," Ryou said, "Bakura should be quite good at that,"
"That leaves Mai, Kaiba, Joey, Mokuba and Tea," Yugi said,
"I'll do love of course," Mai said winking,
"I'll join her, so that leaves Joey, Mokuba and Kaiba," Tea smiled.
"Uh I'll do the fun one with Maeko and Yugi so who's that leaves spying and uh maybe love," Joey said
"I'll spy," Mokuba said ready to do some hands on spy work.
"I'll sit out," Kaiba wasn't too interested seeing as Mokuba made him go to the meeting.
"No you won't you can help all around if you have that attitude," Mai said.
"I'll tell them about you know what Seto, so help or else," Mokuba shouted.
"Ok I'll help then, spy or whatever…but this is stupid" Kaiba grumbled something but wasn't understood.
"Well uh let's just hang and plan out what we will do, till Cherry returns," Mai said as she left the room.
LATER
"Hey anyone here," Cherry called into the house which seemed empty. "Must be at the beach," Cherry was thinking out loud.
"Hello Miss Cherry, I did not hear you come in only I, Kaiba and Ryou are here right now," Maeko called out to Cherry from atop the staircase.
"That's great I only need Kaiba or Seto I grabbed some stuff for him and I think the other stuff will fit you's fine oh and I thought you might like things like what you are wearing so I got that kind of stuff, I wasn't quite sure about the rest of you guys so I just guessed,"
"Hey tomorrow the work we are going to have to do isn't going to be that tough you know I just want everyone to be prepared to work, you get it I don't want anyone to be under prepared Maeko," Cherry smiled kindly at him, "and it's just Cherry, not Miss Cherry ok, can ya grab the others for me and here's ya stuff,"
"Thank you Cherry," Maeko ran off to get the rest of the gang from the beach and he looked in his bag and saw some clothes just like the ones he normally wore, "What a natural flare for fashion!"
"What are these I cannot wear this stuff," Kaiba was fuming for two reasons Cherry woke him up in front of every one and he did not like the clothes Cherry bought.
"Calm down Seto, if she got you that normal stuff you wear you would overheat in this temperature," Mokuba was trying to calm his angry brother down.
"So it's not your normal style I tried to keep it as close as I could to the style you had on at lunch," Cherry was yelling at Seto.
"I appreciate the stuff you got me," Maeko said interrupting. "About the work tomorrow, what kind of work is it?"
"Uh for tomorrow we will be doing stuff on the beach,"
"We get to spend the whole day on the beach, cool," Serenity was excited and giving a nice big smile.
Mai wasn't happy her plot wasn't going under way very quickly so she made a grand intervention, "How bout we celebrate our new friendship with a little party; Tea suggested we have one with all of us so we can become better friends and we could talk about us and our friendships, right Tea,"
"But I didn't say that," realizes the idea, "I mean I didn't say friends that many times in that sentence,"
"That sounds sweet Tea, I can dig up your secrets," Cherry laughed and walked upstairs and called down, "We can order fish n Chips pizza and chow down on 'junk food'."
"You nearly blew it Tea, sugar you need to know how to play the game, but now we can find out her secrets," Mai whispered.
"But she wants our secrets Mai," Tea was definitely worried.
"But we get hers and it's all part of the game, besides we only have to discard one secret as she discards one and we have more so if she reveals all of hers we only reveal like a tenth or less so we have a fool proof game going down here,"
"Don't blame me if it blows up in your face, get that straight Mai," Tea was very conscious of the situation at hand.
Well that's all for now and the next chappie is comin' soon
