Her Sweetness: Yeah… so… big surprise, here I am. Bet none of you expected this, huh? Well, I got back into the RRW spirit of things recently. In short, I missed the hell out of writing for the chibis.

Their way of talking isn't hard to get back into at all and I can instantly fall through the hole in the monitor and back into their world. I even came up with a new plot which rocks way harder than the other one. See what wonders hiatuses can work?

Enjoy.

Rascals R Wee

Chapter 8:

The sun was shining brightly over East Domino as the grass swayed and the birds picked at the remains of broken condoms on the streets. On Sphincter Ave, near the center of East Domino, three teen boys were running from their previous spot at the manhole towards Ryou's house. Well, Malik and Ryou were running. Yugi was more or less walking quickly, a perturbed look on his face, half of it due to the lingering effects of the skunk and the other half because of this wild goose-chase they were setting out on.

"Come on, Yugi!" Ryou shouted back at the shorter hikari. "We have to get to Jupiter in a hurry!"

Yugi's face twisted up twice as much and he said nothing. The boys reached Ryou's driveway and waited a minute as Ryou manifested his car keys from his person which happened to be only in a Chobits towel. He unlocked the car and he attempted to get into the driver's seat, however, he was stopped by Malik's hand on his shoulder.

Ryou looked up, blinking. "Malik, what's wrong?"

"Uh-uh." Malik shook his head gravely. "Ryou, I'm sorry, but you cannot drive. You know how you get. Remember what happened last time? We were nearly killed! No way, out, out, out. I'll drive."

Ryou looked shocked and hurt. He turned around and saw Yugi's face just as grave. "He's right, Ryou," Yugi said, immediately looking up to Malik and saying, "You know, just in case, he better sit in the back. So he doesn't reach over and try to take control."

"Good idea."

"Hey! I would never do such a thing!"

"Out," they other two said in unison.

"This is my car," Ryou tried to argue but Malik seemed unsympathetic. He scooted Ryou out of the driver's seat and ended up having to have Yugi's help to push Ryou into the back seat and strap him down with three seatbelts. He sulked and grumbled in the back seat as the engine started up and Malik backed out of the driveway and left Sphincter Ave and their homes, setting them on the first few steps of their next adventure.

A few blocks down, Yugi stopped rocking out to the radio and leaned up to turn the volume down. "So, clue me in here. Just where is it that we're going? I didn't think it was possible to drive to Jupiter."

Malik waved his right hand at Yugi as if dismissing something silly. He laughed and said, "Of course not! We're driving to NASA."

"…" Yugi blinked.

Malik continued to drive.

Ryou continued to sulk.

Yugi slowly turned his head towards the back seat and noticed how, at hearing this madness, Ryou had not flinched or batted an eyelash. Yugi wondered if Ryou had been privy to this crazy destination. "Ryou… um… N-NASA?"

Ryou raised an eyebrow daintily. "Yes, Yugi, what about it?"

"Wha… but… NASA?"

"Yes, Yugi. Do you know any other space stations?"

There were a few moments of silence, during which Yugi kept switching his gaze from Malik to Ryou and visa versa. He finally shouted, "But NASA is like so far away!"

Malik turned to him and winked. "You'd think that, right? But actually, they just built a new one not far from here!"

Ryou nodded. "It's right outside of Domino."

Yugi's eyes were wide. "W… What the heck? There is no other NASA, the only one is in Houston, Texas!"

"You know how they built another Disney Land? Yeah, well, this is the same thing."

"…"

Malik went back to driving.

Ryou went back to sulking.

Yugi sat back in his seat and questioned reality.

The elevator doors opened up on Floor Three for the three young yamis who stood inside the machine. On their way up, the elevator stopped at Floor Two and six people were wanting to get on. When the chibis denied them entrance (and it was more so Marik and Bakura than Yami who just hid in the corner and cried) the people got mad and tried to get on anyway. This resulted in bitten knees and the people backed off. But, yes, finally the doors opened and the site on Floor Three was just as busy as ever. It was summer and everyone was rushing to go on vacation to popular places in the southern hemisphere.

Marik ventured off of the elevator as soon as the doors opened and the other two followed suit. People who had been waiting for the elevator gave the chibis exiting strange looks but ignored them and entered.

"So," Marik said conversationally, looking around, "which is da wight gate fuh New Zeawand?"

"We gwotta wook at da big board," Yami said and waved his hands above his head.

The other two yamis looked at him in question.

"Ya know!" He waved his hands again. "Da big board tingy dat shows twimes uh awival an' numbah an' stwuff. Ya know!"

"Nwo." Marik and Bakura shook their heads.

Yami groaned. He grabbed each yami by the hand and began to lead them in a direction. "I'll show ya."

"Wait jus' a gwoddamn minute!" Marik shouted and pulled away from the young Pharaoh's grip. Both Yami and Bakura looked back at him and Bakura shook Yami's hand away to be like Marik.

"Was wrong wid you two?" Yami asked, utterly confused and a bit irritated. "We gwotta find a fwight to New Zeawand afore it weaves! Wets go!"

"Jus how do ya know where dat board is?"

"Wha? I dun weally know but da airport is wike a dome." Yami wiggled his finger in a circle to demonstrate. "If wes keep gwoin' wound it, we'll find it!"

Bakura looked at Marik. "Kinda swounds wogical ta me."

"You wouldn't know wogical if it came up an' bit ya nose off."

"Hey!"

"Hey yourswelf."

Bakura growled and launched himself onto Marik, tumbling with his fellow chibi and rolled them both onto the floor where they proceeded to beat the crap out of each other. People walking by paid only passing attention to the tiny brawl and Yami, who wasn't too happy about the outbreak of violence.

He sighed heavily and while Marik and Bakura fought themselves into a ball, Yami got behind them and rolled the ball of chibi down the aisle. They were down between people's legs and for Yami looking up to search for the board was hard work on his neck seeing as how, in chibi form, his head was so ridiculously large and his neck was almost the size of a pencil eraser. Marik and Bakura continued to fight and didn't seem to have any objections about being pushed across the floor like a medicine ball.

Over the loudspeaker was that same voice that you can never understand, announcing flights and such. Yami made an upset noise in the back of his throat when another random person almost stepped on him. "I hwate bein' small! Can't wait till we find dat Wizard uh Suggwestiveness an' go back at bein' big."

He looked up and, lo and behold, saw the board he had been searching for. Times and flight numbers flashed and moved up and down. Yami's large amethyst eyes searched it quickly as he used his foot to kick Marik off of Bakura.

The other two chibis looked up questioningly.

"Fwound it!" Yami cried. He pointed and read down the list, thankful for a moment that his now chibi-like nature did not prohibit him from reading. "N… Ah! W'okay, lessee."

There was a pause.

Bakura's eye twitched. "Well?"

"You guys cwould help me wook! 'Stead uh jus' sittin' dere wike bumps on a pickle!"

Marik shrugged. "I dun know how ta wead, you nuts?"

Yami blinked and looked to Bakura. "Well… you know, wight? You been ta school, I know Ryou took ya."

"Yeah… but all I eva wearned was how ta stwep ova wet condoms in da hallway."

Yami's face grew red. "Well jus' perfect!" he shouted, "Tanks, Bakuwa! If we come across a condom dat we can't defeat, we'll wook to you for gwuidance!"

There was a pause.

Bakura gave a thumbs-up sign.

Yami screamed in aggravation.

Marik smacked Yami across the back of the held and told him to get back to work. Yami pouted and scanned the screen once more. After a moment or so, he looked back at his two companions, whining, "Dere's no fwight ta New Zeawand, gwuys!"

"Gweat, now wha do we do?" Bakura asked.

"Hmm… Well, dere is a fwight to Mwelbourne, Austwalia weaving soon. Dats wight next ta da New Zeawand. We go ta Mwelbourne an' den find a way ta New Zeawand fwom dere. Sound w'okay?"

There was a pause.

Marik bonked Yami on the head.

"OUCH!"

"Shwut up. Dat idea is stwupid. I gots a betta one. Hows 'bout we take a fwight to Mwelbourne in Austwalia. We can go ta New Zeawand from dere."

Bakura nodded. "Sounds gweat ta me."

"Coolies."

Yami's eyes were wide in awe. "B… But… I just—"

"You wanna 'nother smack?" Marik asked, his lavender eyes glinting and promising trouble.

"No…"

"Den wets go. Which gwate is da fwight ta Mwelbourne and when dwoes it weave?"

Yami grumbled as he looked up once again. "Uh… Lessee… it's Gwate 18, fwight 241. Swoutheast Airwines… HOWEE RA! IT WEAVES IN TWO MINUTES!"

Both Marik and Bakura gasped and started to frantically look around for their gate. Yami started running in the opposite direction of which they had come and shouted back at the other two to follow him, reminding them yet again of the airport's circular structure. They followed him and had to weave in and out from between the legs of passengers boarding and exiting their own gates.

Yami looked from side to side as he ran and counted the gates. He thought worriedly, 'Where's 18? Lessee… 11, 12, 13—Ack!' Yami was looking to the left at gate 13 and ran right into a baby stroller being pushed foreword by a traveling mother. Yami flipped over the stroller's front two wheels and knocked the baby out and spun himself into the stroller.

The baby lay on the floor crying and the mother, whose attention was just grabbed, gasped and hurried to pick up her child. The stroller with Yami in it, meanwhile, bounced backwards with the force of having Yami thrown into it and lunged foreword after hitting the mother's knees. She screamed. So did Yami.

The stroller started foreword and people dove out of the way. Marik and Bakura who had been running that way just noticed their fellow chibi in the stroller coming straight at them. Marik yipped and began to run the other way. Bakura, being naturally slow-witted, simply stopped running and squint. He said, "'Ey, Yami, dat you?"

"GET OUTTA DA WAY!" Yami wailed, waving his arms above his head.

"But why—" Before Bakura could finish his question, he was swept up by the stroller which had now picked up speed and was rushing down the aisle. Most people managed to get out of the way. Those who didn't were run over and Yami and Bakura's head bobbed up and down as they went over many speed-bumps.

Marik was still running but he was only just in front of the baby carriage seeing as how his legs were considerably shorter. Unfortunately for Marik, he was unable to outrun the carriage and it ran into him, flipping him backwards and betwixt Yami and Bakura. The force of the newest passenger, however, bounced the stroller and it swerved into a nearby pillar, bouncing off and back in the correct direct. This time, traveling at a bit of a downward slope, it went quite a bit faster.

The three chibis were screaming and so were the innocent bystanders who were thinking there were three helpless babies in the stroller. One of the bystanders actually took it upon themselves to help the situation. He threw himself in front of the stroller in an act of heroism but tripped at the last second and fell down.

Yami gasped and, not wanting to be the cause of another maiming, he shifted his weight to one side of the stroller and swerved to the right just bouncing off the man's head. The stroller veered off the linoleum aisle and went onto the carpet by the nearest gate. Gate 18.

The woman standing at the gate entrance was getting the last two people in through the entryway after taking their tickets. As she was walking away and the gate was about to shut, the stroller went rocketing through unnoticed.

A few minutes later, flight 241 was preparing for take-off and its destination was Melbourne, Australia.
