Taking Care of Business

Yugi ran upstairs after Tea left the shop so he can change his clothes for work in the shop. He had no idea what possessed his grandfather to order such a game, but still the same, it's his business.

After changing his clothes to a pair of blue jeans and a black tee shirt with the sleeves cut off, he ran back down the stairs. Yugi had no idea what was in store for him next.

He walked into the store moments later to see his grandfather stocking the shelves. "Oh Yugi. How was your day today?" Solomon Moto asked with a mischievous grin. He knew his grandson well enough to predict his curiosity.

"Oh, uh, good," Yugi said as he tried to hide his embarrassment from finding the odd game earlier and he certainly didn't want to tell his grandfather that Tea was with him. 'He'll make a big deal out of it,' he thought to himself. 'He's a pervert that way.'

"Oh, Yugi. There is a game on the top shelf that you should know about. It's for a very important client who asked me to order it for him. When he gets here, make sure that he gets it," his grandfather says as he leaves the game shop and towards the back of the house where the office is. "I'm going to tally up the sales from last week. Would you finish up the rest of the stocking and mind the store for me?"

"Sure thing, Grandpa," Yugi said as he watched his grandfather leave the store.

Yugi approached the box with the remaining games so he can finish up what his grandfather started. The door opens up to allow Joey and Tristan into the shop. Since they both had detention after school for playing a prank on Kaiba, they didn't walk together after school like they normally would.

"Hey, Yugi. What's going on?" Joey said in his normal jovial tone.

"Oh, just minding the shop while my grandfather is taking care of other things," Yugi said with a smile as he greets the teens. "Hey, Tristan,"

"Hey, Yugi. You know, that's the last time I let Joey talk me into playing a prank like that ever again. That's just gross. I still have the heebie jeebies from touching those things," Tristan said as he shivers.

"Yeah but it was worth the look on his face," Joey said as he burst into laughter.

"That wasn't very nice, you guys," Yugi said as he remembers the cockroach crawling onto the back of Kaiba's chair and into his hair.

"I never knew that Kaiba could scream like that! It was worth it!" Joey said in between laughs.

"Ha, I would!" Tristan said as he looked at Joey harshly.

"Why did you do that anyway, and where did you get the thing?" Yugi said as he heads towards the counter to take the paper wrapped game from the top shelf.

"Oh, I took it from my apartment when it tried to eat my breakfast," Joey said as if it were nothing special.

"GROSS!!" both Tristan and Yugi said at the same time.

"Hey what's that?" Joey said changing the subject when he sees Yugi taking down the game from the top shelf.

"It's for a buyer. Grandpa ordered it for someone. Trust me, we can't play this one," Yugi said as he looked at Tristan and Joey with a pleading look that said, 'Don't ask.'

"I wanna see," Joey said as he snagged the game from Yugi's hands.

"Don't pull. . . " Joey was pulling the paper bag off of the game with a curious Tristan lookin over his shoulder. "Oh, boy," Yugi said as he slapped his hand to his forehead.

"Hey, it looks like some sort of party game. I wonder how you play it," Tristan said as he notices that there was no description on the top of the box that said what the game was about. He turns the game over as the two teens read the bottom.

Both of the boys looked at each other then back at the game, then to Yugi. "No way!" they said in unison as the return the game to Yugi. Both Joey's and Tristan's cheeks burn from embarrassment.
