Hi everyone! I was on vacation but now I'm back! Um...I know this story is kind of going slow, but It will get there! ... Somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you...

Chapter 7.

"Okay," Yami said walking up with a gleeful expression on his face. "Your turn, Yugi." He sat down and smiled at Kaiba. Yugi looked up at the scoreboard and realized that he got a spare. Yami obviously thinks he has a perfect score so far.

"Ok, Yami." Yugi said. "Before we continue this game any further, I need to tell you the real rules of this game. Don't listen to anything Grandpa says."

He whispered the rules to Yami and it wasn't long before Yami stood up and asked everyone with a glare, "Ok, who was it that told me that the pins were milk bottles and that strikes were bad but only when you were on the verge of a chicken?"

Nobody spoke for a moment and then Solomon stupidly raised his hand. Yami didn't see it for a moment, and also apparently didn't see Yugi and Tea trying to tell Solomon inaudibly to put his hand down. Solomon said, "What?" to them trying to get them to say what they were trying to say, but he only got Yami's attention that his hand was up.

"YOU!" Yami pointed out furiously.

"ME!" Solomon…uh…

"Prepare to get beaten at your own game! I am and will always be, The King of Bowlers!"

"No you're not! I am!" Kaiba retorted from across the room. Nobody knew how he got over there so fast, but one things for sure: him yelling across the room to the people he was so desperately trying to avoid didn't get people's eyes off of him. If anything, it made them stare at him even more.

"Well, Yami, you're going to have to wait a while before that, because it's my turn now," Yugi said. Yami moaned. Yugi picked up his ball and walked up to the lane. He acted like he was going to throw it when Yami yelled, "PICKLED FISH LIPS!"

Fortunately for Yugi, he didn't let go of the ball. He just said to Yami, "Yeah, that's what I thought." He rolled it for real this time and got a strike.

"Gurr." Yami grumbled. He had to be, King of Bowlers. Yami looked up and saw a giant X and the word "Double" underneath it.

"Ha!" Yami said. "That's your second strike! And since it's a double, it counts twice! So, that's your third strike! You're out!"

"Yami, didn't I already explain that to you?" Yugi questioned.

"……Uh……yeah…ya did."

"Hey, I think you're memory's finally getting better," Kaiba insulted from across the room. Yami ignored him somehow. When Tea was going up, he suddenly got an idea to perfect his dream of being King of Bowlers. However, he was going to have to wait until after his next turn to do it.

Tea picked up her ball and rolled it down the lane. She got one pin. Kaiba laughed hysterically.

"Hahaha!" he laughed. "You only got one pin! How does anyone only get one pin?"

Tea argued. "You would get only one pin, too, if you expected someone to say something random to mess you up and they don't!"

"Oh, were we supposed to say something?" Yami asked. "Well, this makes things better! Everyone's going to be expecting me to try and mess them up, and I'm not going too, so they'll mess up! Haha!"

"Yami," Yugi said. "No one's going to expect you to attempt to mess them up if you tell them that you're not going to try."

"Oh…" Yami sighed. "Then I will keep trying! Haha!"

Yugi moaned.

"Anyway, it's my second turn now," Tea interrupted.

Yugi looked and noticed that everyone was watching them again. Some people were apparently even making bets. Apparently, the guy eating a pretzel bought some funnel cake, too. Yami noticed Yugi noticing that other people noticed them noticing each other. …Yeah.

"Hey Yugi," Yami said. "I know just what would make these people stop looking at us."

"No, Yami," Yugi replied, knowing what was coming.

"But whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?" Yami pleaded.

"No, Yami. We're not sending these people to the Shadow Realm."

"…Wow, that idea's even better than what I was going to say."

"Oh," Yugi said. "Then what were you going to say?"

"I was going to say, give Grandpa sugar and have him do the Macarena in front of the cash register."

"What? No way are we giving him sugar!"

"Well, it's either that, or you doing the chicken dance."

"…They can stare if they want."

Tea rolled her ball and she got one pin again. Everyone looked at her.

"Hey," she said. "I thought Yami said that he was going to keep trying!"

"…Kaiba! You're turn!" Yugi called to a once-again-laughing Kaiba. He walked over and picked up his gold ball.

"I'll show you how the real king of bowling does it," he said to Yami.

Well, sorry that took so long! To find out how good/bad Kaiba is at bowling, you'll have to read the next chapter...which I'll try and get in soon! Thanx!
