Hurrah! Or maybe not, it depends. I only got one review for chappy 5… TT am I losing my touch? Well, here goes another chapter of SMABB.

/\0071(4, )00)!1

In the peaceful suburb of insert city here, someone had to figure it out.

It was on the web, in the papers.

Even Ryou had figured it out.

The previously mentioned character and his trusty partner-in-ex-crime sat at Ryou's breakfast table. "AHA!" yelled Ryou, making Yugi spill his coffee. "I figured it out!"

"Figured what out, Ryou?" yawned Yugi.

"The answer to 7-down! It's "Seattle"! See, it's 'sea turtle' but 'without hesita-'"

"I don't CARE, Ryou. I just want to know how we can clear our names. We need to fill in the blanks, first."

"And the plot-holes…" murmured Ryou.

"Whatever. Anyway, clearing our names is the main priority. So… any idea how?"

Silence.

More silence.

Even more silence.

"What's a six-letter word for 'hated'?"

Silence.

"'Loathes'."

Silence.

"Right, thanks."

Suddenly, an immense plot hole gaped open in front of the unmistakable sound of sirens filled the room. Ryou stared at Yugi, who stared at Ryou, who stared at Yugi again, who stared at the giant plot hole out the window at the fast approaching police cars.

"Wow," gasped Yugi, "4Kids will be screwed after this."

"Come out with your hands up!" yelled a policeman. "We have you girt!"

"You have us what?"

"DO NOT QUESTION THE GIRT!"

"We didn't, we just-"

"WE? Ryou, YOU said that, not me!"

"I SAID, COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!"

"Can you just shut up a sec? Now, Yugi, if we're going to be surviving right now, we have more to worry about than who said what to whom."

"But I know that already! You said "You have us what?" to the policeman!"

"But that's not the point! The point is-"

"YOU DON'T HAVE A POINT, RYOU!"

"Oh, shut up!" yelled the policeman.

A single bullet flew through the air, hit the glass, smashed it, and flew straight towards Yugi and Ryou. "NO!" yelled Ryou, and held up his hand. A blue forcefield appeared out of his hand and engulfed the two, deflecting the bullet effortlessly. "Woot!" yelled Ryou, as another bullet reflected off the bullets surface.

There was a silence.

"Are you to dead yet? I want to finish my book!" asked another policeman.

Ryou let his forcefield down. "Um… what book?"

The policeman hesitated. "War and Peace," he said. "Why?"

Ryou paused this time. "I read that, for an exam in English. Interesting book, really. Heavy, though."

The policeman nodded in agreement. "Hey, does that mean you're not dead?"

Yugi replied, "Um… depends…"

"On WHAT?"

"Whether you shoot us again or not."

"Oh. OK then," he said, and unleashed a storm of machine-gun fire at them.

Yugi recoiled, waiting for the pain, as did Ryou…

…waiting…

…Yugi opened his eyes…

…and found himself looking at a massive conga line of bullets, frozen in space and time in front of him.

Ryou blinked. "Yugi?"

"No?"

"OK then…"

The two wandered off. They walked out the door. Everything was frozen. The policeman who had shot at them, the 'girt' policeman, a car crash down the road, the helicopter overhead, they were all frozen. EVERYTHING.

A deep voice spoke, coming from no-where. It said merely, "Without me, you'd be proper fu- oh, damn G ratings. You owe me one…" and it faded.

"What the hell was THAT?" asked Ryou. Yugi shrugged in reply. "I dunno, but let's get the hell out of here" he said, and casually strolled off down the road, with Ryou trailing after him in desperation.

It was midday, as it had been for 25 minutes before time realized it had taken a wrong turn. This time rift had given Ryou and Yugi enough time to, as Yugi had said, "get the hell out of here". They had walked downtown, stolen a magazine or two (Ryou was especially delighted at that. "Another crossword!" he had yelped. Yugi had pretended he didn't know him, which was stupid seeing as there was no-one that could actually see them), and had just walked into Yugi's favourite milkshake shop before time made a U-turn and looked at the map before driving off the right way.

The two sat down after ordering. Ryou took out a pen from his pocket ("Nerd" muttered Yugi under his breath) and started his crossword. Yugi took out a MAD magazine. The milkshakes arrived in no time at all, and as Yugi sipped casually at his drink while surreptitiously hiding a Playboy magazine under the MAD, Ryou yelled "I've got it!" again, making Yugi spill his milkshake all over himself and drop his Playboy, which he quickly cut into pieces with a section of his hair.

"GOD DAMN IT RYOU!" he barked furiously. "What did you get now, 17-fricking-down?"

Ryou cowered as far as he could under the table without leaving his seat. "Actually, I just realized-" He was interrupted by Yugi sighing-yelling "Just shut up Ryou!" while wiping his shirt with the shredded remains of his PB magazine. Ryou glared at him menacingly. Yugi glanced at him and sensed he wanted to say something. "What is it Ryou?" he said impatiently.

Ryou shook his head. "What is it?" asked Yugi again. Ryou picked up his pen and wrote on his napkin:

You told me to shut up.

"Oh for God's sake Ryou. Don't take it too literally…"

Ryou scribbled another note down.

Say you're sorry.

"Wha- oh for the love of 1337… I'm sorry I yelled at you Ryou. OK?" Ryou nodded, and said, "Well, I was saying, I realized how we could clear our names." Yugi looked dumbfounded. Why had Ryou figured it out before him? Damnit. Ryou seemed to read Yugi's thoughts. "Ha! Whaddaya say to THAT! How do ya like me now, huh!"

Yugi knocked Ryou unconscious and dragged his limp body away from the staring customers of the milkshake shop.

"Now, where can we go where we can't get caught by the police? Where is the last place police would EVER go? Who can we stay with that no-one would suspect? Hmm… not Joey, he's always getting into fights… not Mai, she's just always in the wrong place at the wrong time… like the famous Pineapple Incident… not Kaiba, he's just creepy…" A thought crossed his mind, looked around, imprinted itself in Yugi's mind, then decided it needed somewhere roomier, and left Yugi's mind to find someone stupider. Yugi thought this idea was brilliant, and set off straight away to his friend's house.

The thought wondered off in search of a person with more room in his or her skull. It eventually found Joseph Wheeler, who at that time was unconscious on the sofa after 15 too many slices of pizza. The thought slipped into his daydreaming mind and settled down.

When he woke up several hours later, Joey's dream confused him. Why did he suddenly think of Tea Gardener?

R+R please! Well, if you're reading this you've already done the first R. So why not kill two birds with one stone? Go ahead… you know you want to…
