Stranded
(long chapter btw)
Chapter 3 – Q & A
"Help me push this stuff over guys we can have more room then," Cherry was moving stuff out of the large lounge room so twelve people could sleep in there, "Leave the futon over there... don't go near the TV and games, ok we can bring sleeping stuff in here."
"Have you done this kind of thing before you are very good at it," Maeko complimented Cherry and began blushing when Cherry smiled back and said, "No but thanks Maeko, you look real cute when you blush you know."
"Oh thank you that is nice to know,"
"Can you come down town and get some snacks and order some chips about 10 bucks worth should do it, we can grab some nachos and cheese I can make my specialty nacho's with lots of cheese and we can rock out," Cherry smiled.
"Wow she has Maeko in her little hands, that girl knows how to get and keep a guy," Mai smirked at Cherry leading the young man down town.
"Huh what you talking about," Joey was confused (he wasn't the only one but he looked the most confused by Mai's words.)
"She could basically get Maeko to do anything she wanted,"
"What if it's genuine kindness Mai there is something called genuine friendship," Tea interrupted.
"Don't start Gardner we don't need one of your stupid speeches we've been read the book several times," Kaiba said lying in a t-shirt Cherry had bought earlier.
"Don't start guys the sooner we get this done the sooner we can get Mai over this spying power trip," Yugi said and he put his sleeping gear in a spot on the floor.
"Who's sleeping on the futon, it looks like it can fit two people," Mokuba asked.
"Well I'm going to have a shower before my plan goes under way," Mai said walking upstairs.
CHERRY AND MAEKO GET BACK...
"Who keeps saying what's happening its kind of creepy," Joey is freaking out because of my authorial power. "The author right! HEY THAT'S ME…COOL…I can make time go faster…"
FUVE MINUTES LATER…
"Yay…Authors godding is fun…now back to the story wait holy smexyness"
"No it's a ghost," Joey declared as everyone gawked at Joey's idiocy.
TIME PASSES
Everyone wore some description of Pajamas while Cherry made nachos in the kitchen…
"Ya gotta love a lady who can cook huh Maeko," Joey could smell the nachos and was drooling.
"Yes you would know wouldn't you Joey," Maeko said trying to get the crush teasing passed to Joey
(author: I really with I had gone and just called his Katsuya Jounouchi, Jou is so much shorter and this is already a bloody long chapter…before I redid it so 9 pages geese….and I am lengthening it….))
"Well nachos are one of the very few things I can actually cook which don't explode or become some kind of dangerous weapon. Although the hot cheese on the sharp edges could hmm..." Cherry said like she was serious with a straight face.
Skeptical eyes glare at Cherry strangely Oo (ok she isn't normal…she is my alter ego…)
"NACHOS FINISHED," screeched Cherry making everyone topple over and Duke and Tristan's heads crashed.
"You ok guys?" Tea rushed over quickly before bursting into laughter seeing Dukes small spikes stuck into Tristan's spike.
"Hey get out of my hair Duke,"
"Hey I can't get out,"
(Don't you love my author power?)
AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF STRUGGLING
"Not my hair," both Duke and Tristan cried seeing their absolutely trashed hair.
"Idiots," murmured Kaiba sitting on the futon eyes closed wearing the shorts and shirt Cherry bought for him to sleep in.
"Whatever Tighty," mocked Tristan.
"Uh Tighty I don't get it?" Cherry asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"Uh it's a funny story," Tristan replied moving up and whispering something in Cherry's ear making her bite her lip trying not to laugh. Then she began looking up and down Kaiba with a fake smile on.
"You know that doesn't sound like it was much fun for Seto here," Cherry began frowning and then grabbed the food and put it in the centre of the rooms table welcoming all to grab a bite.
"These are fat fries Cherry," Joey exclaimed looking at the chips Cherry and Maeko had bought.
"They're chips idiot, fries are yucky and thin chips are yummy and like this," Cherry said dipping a few in tomato sauce (ketchup) and munching on them.
"I haven't heard anyone call any food 'chips' since I was home in England," Ryou exclaimed, "I missed it,"
"Yeah I was born in Australia…loved it lived it…best place in the world!" she said a sparkle in her eyes and a smile drawn across her face.
"Well if you are done stuffing your faces can we have us some games you know answer some questions," Mai was getting impatient and was losing her subtle touch.
"Ok then, we pick a subject, and each tell a tale in referral to that subject instead," Cherry suggested smirking both cutely and evilly.
"Ok I'll pick subject number one," Shouted Yugi. "Uh what about worst habit, Mai you can go first."
"Me! What! well I guess I'm a shop-o-holic or I like to play matchmaker a bit much, I guess so what," Mai said really quickly turning then to Joey to tell his answer.
"I've been told I'm kind of hotheaded and I snore," Joey smirked.
"So you were listening Joey, you don't just snore you talk in your sleep and real loudly too big brother. Like last week you said 'Kaiba it's like I like to say you couldn't duel yourself out of a paper bag so how do you think you are going to get out of this plastic one filled with all these donuts and honey glazed steak-hams' or that other time when you said 'Mai I lo.."
"Serenity, didn't we talk 'bout dis yet,"
"Oh yeah the one about not revealing secrets about you; I nearly forgot Joey that would be my habit right,"
"Well its Mokuba's turn, what is yer worst habit," Joey said.
"I guess I kind of interfere in Seto's life and get kidnapped a bit much," Mokuba said.
"Only a bit," Seto sarcastically remarked.
"Hey whatever you gotta tell your secret habit now the worst one."
"Fine then," Seto said, "I sometimes before big meetings and stuff forget things and do stuff, then talk funny."
"Uh when Seto gets nervous he forgets to do important things like was it this one time breathe or was it you forgot how to speak," Mokuba said.
"Nut ah,"
"Ya huh, you also get really childish,"
"Nut ah,"
"Ya doing it again Seto,"
"Nut ..." Seto blushes looking away saying, "I don't know why I am even doing this!"
"Kaiba gets stage fright I never would have guessed," Ryou said, "I suppose it's mine and Bakura turn then,"
Ryou / Bakura mind conversation
"Our turn?"
"We share a body it is OUR turn,"
"I never agreed to
"You have no choice in this ordeal,"
"Whatever,"
Normal
"Well I guess whenever someone throws things I have away I always seem to get them back,"
"That it?" Mai was very skeptical, "anyway Maeko it's your turn,"
"Well I tend to be very loud early in the morning, as you may remember,"
"So uh yeah we remember Maeko, now its Tea's turn right," Mokuba said remembering the incident earlier with Kaiba and the wall and giggling.
"Well if it's my turn then I'd like to say I have no bad habits," Tea said stubbornly.
"I could point out a few," Seto said getting a pillow thrown directly into his face.
"Maybe I sometimes might talk a bit much about things I like," Tea admitted.
"Tea, girl; you should have a degree in friendship you talk about it so much you are a resident expert on yapping on and on and on and on and on and on and on ...," Mai says but is still going on and on and on and on and on and then she eventually stops.
"Hey Cherry maybe you should tell your worst habit now," Serenity exclaimed.
"Ok worst habit, worst; ok I'll pick one out of the hat... I sometimes play games with people like scamming them… and get myself into a lot of trouble, or maybe…I don't know…." pauses "Wait I got a better one, no wait uh yeah I am kind of always getting in trouble yeah that'll do."
"Trouble huh, so hon. what type of trouble," Mai asked.
"What about Yugi," she said looking to him smirking.
"What?"
"His turn then Tristan and Duke need to have a turn,"
"Well alright but,"
"So Yugi what is your worst habit," Cherry asked wide eyed.
"Well I kind of come up with wild ideas and schemes or just have a spaced look on my face and you get it," Yugi said.
"So Duke let's hear it, what's your worst little habit," Cherry said looking at duke.
"Uh once I have made my mind up, I uh personal space please, stick with what my mind made up until I discover otherwise," Duke said backing away from Cherry.
"Well I guess I find it hard to communicate my feelings clearly plus it is hard to change a thing about myself, except my voice…I had two at one point" Tristan declared.
"Ok uh sure but Cherry what kind of trouble," Mai said reverting back to Cherry's conversation.
"Well uh back at home me and my best friends..." Cherry began,
"Friends who," Tea cried out.
"Uh Jamie, Damien and Jim,"
"Only one girl friend, with a guy like name Jamie," Mai said.
"No all guys," Cherry declared.
"Oh well then continue,"
"Well then I will... so we were heading to school when I kind of got side track by a particular drink, so I overheard a conversation between these two guys about a certain person who they liked and I said 'Really guys if you're going to have secret crushes keep them secret' then they began chasing me and I dropped the orange juice which by the way when it says concentrate it doesn't mean it literally, so they chased me and I kind of ended up jumping in the river then they said that was a warning and I was wet and late so I got a detention. The thing is they didn't even let me explain, so that is why I try to avoid orange juice the end," Cherry said and then after several moments of staring... anime fall. (loves anime falls XD)
"Orange juice, really I don't even fall for that one you have to be really stupid to do that," Joey remarked.
"Well Cherry hon. It's my turn to pick a subject so it is what your funniest nickname is and how'd you get it, so..." Mai began. "Are they really asleep," (Tristan and Duke had fallen over asleep,"
"Yeah they must have got one of my donuts, they have a secret ingredient which can make you go strait to sleep after 3 hours, LETS SCRIBBLE ON THEIR FACES," Cherry cried pulling out several markers from a bag and begins drawing moustaches and glasses. Kaiba soon joined in drawing a monkey face on Tristan and big lips on Duke.
"They are both now ready for the surgery," Kaiba smirked with one of those dashing smiles of his. (dashing lol…)
"You have a nice smile Kaiba," Cherry stated, "oh yeah the nick names how bout since you guys probably know all of this stuff we shorten it and I hear one from all of you and I say one that way I won't be bored with all of your boring lives and I can hear the funny stuff ok."
"PERFECT," Mai thought out loud.
"Ok then nicknames," Mai was thinking.
"I have one," Yugi cried, "But it happened to Yami he told me that once way back when he was pharaoh,"
"Wait pharaoh what the ..."
"PG, PG, PG," Bakura cried running in a circle hands over ears, "I was written originally in old rating system!"
"Yami was a pharaoh once, anyway when he was out giving out orders he wanted to go for a walk and he cried "Fetch my cabbage I want to go for a walk," then he ended up with the nickname pharaoh cabbage and every one was calling out want to take a cabbage for a walk pharaoh," Yugi began to roll on the floor laughing while as Yami came out and chased Yugi (in the mind) with a mallet. (violence is bad….when your in real life vv)
Mind talk again
Come here Yugi
Aghhh Yugi runs
Normal again,
"Really interesting," Cherry said, "Cabbage the Pharaoh, so is that why the death sentence was imposed."
Anime fall "So uh Cherry your story," Yami said.
"Well my story about a funny nickname is well the most recent well I became known as the Evil, Madam Evil and the Evil Lady. Well in the library at school I played UNO (I don't own) with these guys and I kept winning by the means of draw two's skips and you know and I said 'I'm so good it's evil and then they began calling me evil and it kind of got caught on and I hold any card and they call me the evil instead of the other things they call me,"
"Well that is an original story," Tea said bluntly.
"So Cherry tell us more about yourself, like what are you doing here how you got here, you know that kind of stuff," Tea said smiling.
"How bout we put you in the hot seat hon. that sound cool."
"Uh whatever," Cherry said, "you get one question each, and then I get to pick a person ta swap wid."
"Sure Cherry ok here it goes, what are your aspirations as a career?" Mai said,
"Performer and writer…" Cherry replied.
"What is your favourite card game?" (Yugi)
"Rummy,"
"Favourite type of animal," (Serenity)
"Snake, crocodile or lizard,"
"Favourite thing to do," (Maeko)
"Abseil, rock climb that kind of stunt,"
"Special talents," (Kaiba)
"Oh that's a tough one, well I can write…and like to just get on stage and I have this confidence but I guess a special talent would have to be being able to recite the entire script of Moulin rouge….mostly…"
"... Whatever what's your favourite food," (Joey)
"Ice cream and donuts,"
"Your Idol," (Mokuba)
"My idol's uh my idols uh; I don't know I guess it would be Cher,"
"Ok why," Tea asked.
"She is de queen, no questions asked," Cherry said then laying down on the futon closing her eyes.
"What are you doing," Tea asked looking at the resting girl.
"Resting my eyes, thinking about ...stuff," Cherry replied and yawning, "Kaiba your turn on the hot seat then we can do something else,"
"Whatever," Kaiba wasn't too enthusiastic.
"Calm down Kaib, it's just the hot seat," Cherry sarcastically remarked.
"Kaib?"
"What you'd prefer Seto or whatever mate, I don't know what the heck you wanna be called so I'll just call you whatever I want until ya tell me," Cherry said angrily.
"Uh I don't care just don't call me Kaib, so keep your shirt on,"
"Alright ruin my fun," Cherry said making a little joke and most people laughed or looked at Cherry strangely. "So in subject with the hot seat I'll begin with question one of five,"
"Wait five?" Mai protested, "We only got to ask you one each."
"But there are more of you than there is of me,"
"Alright make them good ones," Mai said sitting down on the floor.
"Great, ok Kaiba what are you afraid of," Cherry cried very quickly.
"Uh!" he blushed "failing and losing Mokuba, and I guess Acid rain" Kaiba said quietly.
"Really," big chibi eyes were thust apon him "well then now I'd like to ask you what animal do you find annoying and why,"
Rol;ling his eyes "Dog's are just so immature and constantly getting on your nerves," Kaiba says and glares at Joey.
"You're telling me Kaib...a," Cherry said smiling.
"You don't like dogs too much do you Cherry," Mai's inquisition (tehe big word) made everyone look at Cherry waiting for a response.
"I'm only saying dogs are not on my list of good animals," Cherry said with a twitching eye and fist. "Anyway Kaiba what is your favourite film,"
"Film, you mean Movie," Tea inquired,
"No film, no real human with any intellect or who has a real good education says 'movie'," Cherry cried angrily overdramatic.
"Uh at least someone here has a brain," Kaiba bluntly remarked. "I don't really watch many films but I like 'Bowling for Columbine' it's a good one," Kaiba was actually very shy when speaking like this and barley anyone could hear him.
"Yes I see that one, I saw it, very touching I watched it as many times as I could," Cherry smiled kindly.
"If it is such a good film, I shall view it," Maeko remarked jealously.
"Cool I think I bought a DVD on it with me now I won't have to watch it alone," Cherry cried, "Ya we can watch it and other films later,"
"Great," the others said in sarcastic unison.
"So Seto Kaiba what did you do to get yourself stuck with these guys I'm guessing they ain't your friends,"
"He crashed da plane nearby," Joey snickered,
"No why did they get on that plane with you, what did ya do?"
"Well a technical accident, ahem I got a few typos messed up in their names, last time I put an apprentice on something actually important," Kaiba mumbled
"You put Joey 'that mutt' Wheeler, Duke 'Dice freak' Devlin' and Maeko Tsunami 'the living mermaid'." Joey cried out getting in Kaiba's face.
"I mumbled something and she typed it down, it was a technical error,"
"So it wasn't your fault, Joey, Duke and Maeko were just blowing off steam," Cherry said, "so technically you would not even be here if they had just listened to reason,"
"You guys are idiots," Cherry finished, "lets just watch some movies or play some card games you know bring the evil out," Cherry did a little evil laugh and then suddenly cried, "My dibs on the futon,"
"But I was going on it," everyone simultaneously cried out even the two unconscious guys on the floor.
"But it's mine, and it's only able to fit two peoples," Cherry whined.
"We need to settle this maturely," Tea cried, "we play a game for it say ..."
"Blackjack," Cherry cried, "we will begin and the two winners shall share the futon, I shall play dealer!"
