One Day to Ourselves
Ch. 2

Don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! and probably never will.

Yugi's intentions were good, and honestly no body knew why the hell the little spider monkey was after him. Yugi couldn't explain it either. He was just minding his own business, walking through the paths made in the park and trying to find Tea. How was he supposed to know what would happen next? The sound of estranged music came to his ears as he appeared out in a clearing. He looked around as he saw little children running and gathering around a cart with ice cream. Some ice cream sure does sound good right about now. Yugi thought as his stomach growled a little. It was 11:15 and he was no where near to finding Tea. He approached the ice cream cart.

"Look it! Look It!" one kid started screaming. Yugi looked to where the child was pointing and realized that he was pointing towards a little spider monkey dressed in a small red vest with a little tin cup in his hands. He was swaying and dancing to the music of the ice cream cart.

"How cute. Hey there little fellow." Yugi said smiling a little as the monkey ran up to him and jiggled his can. Yugi pulled out a couple of pennies and placed them in the cup. The monkey took one look at him and then jumped up on him. "Hey! What's the big idea!" Yugi screeched as the monkey began to climb all over him.

"Bimbo! Down!" screamed the ice cream man. He gave the last child an ice cream cone before turning back to Yugi. "I guess he likes your hair." The man stated casually as the monkey began playing with Yugi's strange hair.

"Well, could you please get him out of my hair?" Yugi was starting to get a little paranoid. The last thing he needed was for the monkey to leave him a nice little monkey surprise. The vendor just laughed at him and began to scoop up some ice cream for more children who made their way to the cart. Yugi attempted to pull the monkey down but instead got something else. The monkey bit him and then started screeching and running all over him. Yugi tried to grab him but the monkey suddenly reached in his pocket and took his wallet. "What! No Bimbo No!" Yugi shouted as he started chasing the little monkey around. It must have been quite the site for many of the children stopped playing just to watch the scene unfolding. It was hilarious. Yugi was jumping up and down trying to grab the monkey, who was having a good laugh at his expense. The monkey then ran to the monkey bars (no pun intended) and started this new little game. Oh but Yugi was mad and he was going to get that little monkey. He started climbing but Bimbo was fast. They raced up and down and all around the bars. Finally Bimbo bested the King of Games as Yugi fell hard to the ground, his jacket ripping. The monkey let out a shriek of victory. Yugi sat there on the ground, dirt everywhere and jacket ripped. Oh he was fuming and the monkey would pay.

I sure wish I still had the millennium puzzle and Atemu here. He would know how to deal with the little…..Yugi thought to himself but then realized what he was thinking. No! No! Yugi! I think it's high time you stop thinking about the Pharaoh and start trying to take care of yourself. No more Mr. Nice Guy. Yugi then got up and pulled off his jacket. It was no use to him now that it was torn. He grabbed a hold of the monkey bars and started to climb up.

Water splashed onto her face as a child ran screaming and jumping through the fountain located in the middle of Domino Park. Stupid kid! Tea fumed. She gave the kid a hard glare, but when she realized that no one was paying attention to her, she turned around sulking and left.

She had been searching now for almost two hours but still no sign of Yugi. I don't believe that he would stand me up. Yugi would never do that to any of his friends. Her temper started to deplete with that thought. But she was starting to get tired of walking.

Spying a bench, she headed over to it and sat down next to a man reading the paper. It feels good to just sit down for a while.

'coo, coo' Tea looked up at the cooing sound to find all kinds of pigeons wondering around her and her bench warming partner.

"I guess they want something to eat." the man suddenly stated from behind the paper. Tea looked at him. He looked to be maybe homeless. Poor guy. She thought. He pulled out a bag of something and stuck his hands in. Then he threw the bread crumbs to the ground and watched as the birds excitedly pecked at the ground. "Want some?" the man asked turning to Tea.

"um…sure." she stated before putting her hand in the bag and throwing down her own bread crumbs. They both just sat there idly watching the birds for what seemed like forever, then Tea decided it was time to head off.

"Well, thank you sir." she bowed her head in thanks before turning to walk away.

"Where the hell do you think you're going?" Tea stopped dead in her tracks "You can't just leave. You have to pay me for what you used."

"What! I only took a little handful of bird seed!" Tea snapped back at the man.

"Ha! That's a lot of bird seed. I was only going to make you pay three bucks for it, but since your being a little witch about it, it's gonna be six bucks!"

"Like hell if you think I'm gonna give you even a penny!" Tea shouted back. People walking along the sidewalk just turned their heads to stare at the two shouting at each other. Some were even mumbling to themselves. Tea shot those people a dirty glare.

There's no way this man can be serious. But wait, if he's homeless, then maybe this is a way for him to make a little money. Shame on me! Tea started to suddenly criticize herself as she slumped in defeat. "Fine. Here. I'll give you Six bucks but that's it."

As Tea started to reach into her purse to draw out the money, a tone started to come through the air. Tea stopped and listen. She turned to the man, who looked a little pale all of a sudden. Hold on a sec. That's a ring tone from a cell. Tea's face turned to outrage when a well dressed man in a butler's outfit came into view.

"Sorry it took so long sir but the car is right around the corner."

"Williams you idiot!"

"Hey! Your not a homeless man!" Tea suddenly screeched making the birds fly away.

"No I'm not but I sure as hell am the keeper of the birds. Now give me the money you promised me."

"I didn't promise you anything." Now that she knew the truth. She wasn't about to give this arrogant thief the benefit of the doubt.

"Fine then, suit yourself." The man then pulled out some kind of small whistle. Blowing into it, Tea suddenly realized it got quiet. Too quiet.

Looking up, she spied something that she could have sworn would only be found in the Wizard of Oz. Thousands of birds could be seen flying towards her! Not good! Tea took off running as thousands of birds came zooming in and out, pecking at her and trying to drop their specialty, birdie bombs! As she ran, she could have sworn she heard, "Fly My Pretties! Fly!" and the theme song of the Wizard of Oz playing in the background.

Finally, caught you! You stupid little monkey! Yugi thought to himself as he and the monkey pummeled to the ground. The monkey screeched and tried to get out of his grasped. "Not until you hand me my wallet you little criminal."

The monkey's jaw dropped at the accusation and then it's eyes started to water. Yugi looked into the monkey's eyes and then for some odd reason, a reason that not even he could think of, he felt sorry for the little fellow. "Aw, come on now little guy. Don't cry. I didn't mean that."

Yugi gave the monkey a comforting smile, the monkey, miraculously, smiled back. Handing the wallet back to Yugi, the monkey then sat there in front of him and watched him place the wallet back into his pocket.

"Well, Bimbo, I can't say it's been a privilege to meet you, in fact, I will try to avoid you from now on. But It was nice. See ya." Yugi stated getting up and nearly running from the monkey. But what he didn't catch was the gleam in the monkey's eyes as he pulled out a roll of dollar bills that was stashed away in his small vest.

Stupid loser. Bimbo thought to himself as he scurried back to his master, ready to show the good deed that he accomplished today.

I know this was short but I enjoyed writing what little of it there was. Hahahahahaha.

Anyway, remember to Rand R please b/c you know you want too.
