Seto: Mommy.

Joey: Did you just say mommy?

Seto: (coughs) uh. no. I said uhhh. Yo Momma!

Joey: Right...

TOO MANY ON AN ISLAND

CHAPTER 11

Tacky Announcer Guy: So there they were: the birds chirping, the bees buzzing, the water trickling, Joey sputtering and splashing as Seto holds his head under water..I uh..

GURGLE GURLGE

"Ki! Ba! *sputter* Kn---it---of""

Tacky Announcer Guy: Oh. Way to ruin my beautiful imagery guys.

"Don't look at us." Yami said, referring to Duke and himself. "We're just spectators."

"Gee. Yami. I never new you had such a blood lust." Teased Duke.

"We'll you should be pissy too!" Yami said standing up. "We've been stuck on this Ra forsaken' island for who knows how long. My hair is full of knots. I can't even get it to point right any more."

"You mean part." Duke corrected him.

"No. I mean point. Look at it! All the spikes are lumpy."

"Nothing a little hair gel won't fix." Duke replied.

Yami rolled his eyes. "My point exactly. There is none! There's nothing here. We've been eating coconuts for days now. Mai has made about 10 zillion coconut tops out of the leftovers and I overheard her talking about making some for us."

"Esh!" Duke said.

"And everyone is driving each other crazy! Between Kaiba and Bakura both wanting Joey dead and Yami Bakura seeking revenge on Mai, IT"S GETTING ridiculous!"

"Gee Yami. I didn't realize you felt so strongly about this." Duke commented.

"Well I do! And I'm sick and tired of this place and I just want to go home to some clean clothes and curl up by the fire with my dueling deck."

"That's kind of creepy Yami."

"I DON"T CARE!" He stood up as tall as he could. "Every man has the right to love anything he feels is appropriate and dammit! I LOVE MY DECK! DAMMIT! YOU HERE ME! I LOVE MY---"

SPLASH!!!

Yami came sputtering back up out of the water and glared angrily and his attacker. "What the hell was that for?"

"Because you're all driving me crazy!" Kaiba snapped.

"Is there anyone sane left?" Duke said in a dramatic fashion.

"OH SHUT UP!" They all said.

"You know." Joey said as he rang out his hair and regained a steady breath from being drowned. "The only reason Duke here is so much better off than us is because he has a girl."

"It's your sister." Seto said.

"Kaiba! Exnay on the istersay." Yami said.

"Yami. This is no time to be working on your French. No. What I'm saying is that we need women. or at least other people."

"You know. Dog here has a point." Kaiba said.

"I told you not to call me that!" Joey said. In fury he dove at Kaiba who simply slid over in his seat and watched Joey do a swan dive into the water right next to Yami. He then continued. "We've been stuck together so long. Some fresh faces might be nice."

"We'll unless you enjoy in-depth conversations with a wild bore, there isn't many other living things around here." Duke said.

"Then maybe we should just get rid of the annoying people that are already with us." Seto said in his low growly voice as he stared intently at Duke.

"You wanna go?" Duke stood up and smacked his chest.

"Oh please. I'll ring your pencil neck before you even touch me." Seto scoffed. He stood up casually which really irritated Duke.

"THAT's IT!" He screamed and he dove at Kaiba. The two fought on for at least a good 5 minutes. Occasionally getting one near the edge of the boat then back again. Suddenly they both lost their balance and crashed into the warm tropical waters below.

SPLASH!

"You bastard!" Seto screamed. "You ruined my last trench coat!"

"Why are you wearing a trench coat when it's hot as Hades out here?!"

"It's a fashion statement."

"We'll your fashion statement is causing you to sink."

"HELP!"

"Is Kaiba asking for help?" Yami grinned.

"Oh shut up and help me." Kaiba cried.

"JUST TAKE THE COAT OFF!" They cried.

He pulled it off in a fury of splashes and then continued to paddle with the coat in hand.

"What's the matter Kaiba?" Joey asked.

"I can't do it." He whimpered.

"It's just a coat."

"It's my favorite coat."

"You can probably buy another one just like it. Aren't you like a millionaire?" Duke asked.

"Actually, thanks to eBAY I'm a billionaire." He said.

Joey grumbled.

(sad violins start playing)

"Where the hell is that music coming from?" Yami asked.

Seto stared at his coat with sad eyes. "I'll never let go coat. I'll never let go."

"Uhh. Kiaba?" Duke asked, as he paddled a little further away from him.

"Parting is such sweet sweet sorrow!"

"Uhh. Okay. Kaiba has lost it."

"WHERE THE HELL ARE THOSE VIOLINS COMING FROM."

"I know it's hard to let go.but I have too. If I don't I'll regret it." Kaiba said as he continued to stroke the coat as best as he could while swimming. "Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but someday. Probably within the next few minutes actually since you're getting kinda heavy."

"This is getting really creepy."

"VIOLINS! I'M GOING CRAZY!!!" Yami cried. He attempted to cover his ears but found that difficult to do while trying to keep his head above water.

"Till we meet again my love." He cried as he let go of the coat.

"Kaiba. You've got some really bad taste in movies. Hones tly! The Titanic?" Joey commented.

"VIOLINS! VIOLINS! VIOLINS!" Yami screamed.

"Someone put him out of his misery!" Duke shouted.

"I got it!" with that, Joey dunked Yami under the water. Yami came sputtering up. "JOEY!"

"He he. Sorry. Thought I was doing the right thing."

"Do I look like an injured horse to you?" Yami shouted.

"Uh guys.." Duke said.

"No. No you don't." Joey said, Ignoring Duke.

"Then maybe a duck. Is that it?" Yami glared.

"No! No! Of course not!"

"Uhhh, Guys."

"We'll then what Joey?" Yami glared.

"I was just trying to be a pal." Joey said.

"Guys."

"Just a minute Duke." Joey said. "I was just being a friend Yami."

"Oh. Well then.... here friend." Yami said as he dunked Joey under the water.

"GUYS"

GURGLE. GURGLE.

"Just minute Duke. This is kind of entertaining." Seto smiled.

"Yami! Stop it!" Joey cried.

"GUYS!"

"WHAT?!"

"THE BOAT IS GONE!"

"What?!" Joey cried.

The boys looked around. During the arguing, the releasing of the coat and the drowning spat, the boat had drifted off with the current and the boys were left alone swimming in the water.

"Well now what?" Duke said.

"We swim to shore." Yami said.

"We'll never make it back to the island!" Joey whined. "I had way too much coconut this morning, I'm getting swimmers crap. HELP! HELP!" He cried and jumped on top of Kaiba.

"Get off of me dog!" Seto snapped.

"Actually Seto, with your hair all wet like that.." Yami commented.

"Stop right there Yami." Seto growled.

"Hey Kaiba. You look like a dog!" Joey giggled.

"Can we focus people?" Duke said. "I'd rather not die in the middle of the ocean with you three."

"How about that island over there. It's a lot closer. We can make it." Yami pointed to the island just off to the south.

"Oh man! I hate swimming." Joey whined.

"Maybe if you weren't so bad at it." Kaiba scoffed.

"I could swim circles around you Kaiba!" Joey snapped.

"I was all state champion three times running for our school." Seto grinned.

"Ya? Well..I'll race you!" Joey said and took off swimming towards the island.

"Having to cheat to win Wheeler. Pathetic." Kaiba said and swam after him.

Duke and Yami side glanced each other and swam off towards the island.
