Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, In The Night Garden OR Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series.
Having read the disclaimer and the first chapter, I think you can see where this Fanfic is going…Don't ask me where I got 'The Minstrel' from, I was looking for inspiration for a hotel name and it just came to me.
Please note: This Fanfic contains some gore, especially from this chapter on-wards. So brace yourself.
Tele-wise Chapter 2 – The Plot Gets ThinnerAs the sun crept over the trees surrounding The Minstrel, every room that had a clock, told it's occupants that the time was 07:00. On the tenth floor in rooms J1 to J5, the residents of these rooms ignored this fact, as they were fast asleep. Having had a tiring day of travel the previous day, and despite going to bed at 21:00 the night before, they were catching up on their sleep. But as the clocks neared 08:00, one by one they woke up, dressed casually and went to the breakfast room. They piled their plates high with bacon, sausage, fried bread, egg, beans and tomato on Bakura's instructions.
"It's called an English Breakfast." He told his acquaintances.
"Why?" Yugi asked. "Surely eating this unhealthy balance of food for breakfast is going to be bad for you."
"Only
people who are afraid of vegetables eat this everyday. Most Britton's
eat it every now and then as a treat."
"Well that's ok
then."
They sat down with their food and each fell in love with it as they ate it. When they finished their breakfasts they got their coats and walked to the Metropolitan Police Station.
After explaining to the police that they would like to help in the investigation, the police laughed at them.
"In all my years of this job, I've never heard something as far-fetched as that. Run along kids, and get yours heads out of the clouds, this isn't Scoobey Doo."
Disappointed, they left the police station and sloped off in to London. They stopped at a shop selling Televisions to watch what was on. They couldn't hear any music or voices but saw the name of the show. 'In The Night Garden'.
"Why's he got a funny shaped head? And why's he blue. And what's with the blanket?" Joey asked.
"That's Iggle Piggle, Joey." Bakura explained. "Iggle Piggle has a boat, the sail is his blanket, when he goes to sleep in the boat, he dreams that he's In the Night Garden. He has friends in this garden-"
"Him having friends is as unlikely as you, having friends, Bakura. But continue."
"…Well one of his friends is called Upsey Daisy, she just runs around looking sweet, and then there's Makka Pakka, he goes around with a sponge cleaning faces, and he lives in an adorable little cave with a home-made blanket, I think it uses double sti-"
"I don't need to know that. Who are those tiny little people."
"They're Tombliboos. And that train is the Ninky Nonk. The flying blimp is the Pinky Ponk."
"And who are they, with the dotty trousers?" Yugi asked.
"The Pontipines." Bakura answered.
"Is that all of the characters?"
"Yes."
"This is nothing compared to the show back home. Night in the Garden." Joey said slightly annoyed. They slowly started to shuffle away from the shop window when Yugi stopped them.
"Look. Look at those Daisies."
"What about them?" Tristan asked, disinterested. "They're just daisies. Let's go."
"They're not just daisies Tristan. They look exactly like the daisies shown on that news report on Monday night. The one's left with the victim's that are being killed here, In London!"
"All daisies look the same, Yugi." Téa sounded concerned.
"I am not dropping this until we check it out." Yugi replied, crossing his arms and standing stubbornly on the spot. Téa sighed.
"Fine. We'll check it out, to prove you wrong."
"That's all I ever ask for." Yugi hugged her.
