Chapter 3.)
"What are we going to do now?" Yuugi exclaimed in a whispered tone. Clairissa grinned in a way that only a true maniac- or Bakura- could pull off. She dug around in her pocket which, Yuugi found, was large enough to fit her whole arm. She pulled out what appeared to be a fist-sized metallic cylinder. She hit a certain part of it, resulting in a low chime. Clairissa counted down with her fingers. Three, two… When she reached one, she threw the now-expanded cylinder in the general direction of the two figures guarding the air-lock. Van Rook quickly spun around, hearing the clank it made on the floor, and too late the grenade exploded, rendering both Abby and Van Rook unconscious.
A startlingly loud alarm blared as Clairissa grabbed Yuugi's arm and both raced to the air-lock. "C'mon!" Clairissa yelled at Yuugi as he paused just outside the air-lock she had just pried open.
"A-are you sure this is safe?" Yuugi asked worriedly.
Clairissa blankly stared at him for several seconds. A large grin pasted itself to her face. "No." She reached for his arm again, and pulled them both out the opening. "That's what makes it fun!" she said belting out a cackle so insane that a psychopath would've been frightened. Yuugi screamed loudly as they began free-falling at six-thousand feet.
Yuugi's deafening shrieks halted with a loud intake of breath as he felt as if his arms had been ripped out of their sockets. He looked up in surprise to see Clairissa wearing a jetpack. 'How had I never noticed that before?' Yuugi asked himself.
Shortly, they landed, Yuugi's arms still sore. Clairissa whipped a cell phone from her extraordinarily large pockets, and quickly punched in a number. Yuugi began to wonder what else was in there.
"Hello," Clairissa began. "Yes, we're stranded on a hill in the middle of no-where. Do you think you can pick us up? … Sure. I'll hold." During the entire conversation, Yuugi looked on, confused by the English words.
"Yuugi," said teenager looked up. "My family is going to come rescue us soon." Yuugi shivered, the cold of night reaching him. Clairissa looked into the night sky, twinkling stars peeking from behind scatters of semi-transparent clouds. A small smile expressed her feelings.
Soon, both fell into a state of unconsciousness.
About half-an-hour later, a large orange air-ship appeared on the horizon. Yuugi watched its progress as it advanced towards them. He woke Clairissa up as the vehicle landed just beyond the hill they rested on. "Who are they?" Yuugi asked awkwardly.
Clairissa smiled in true contentment. "They're my family."
"Wow." Yami no Yuugi said as two children, both with ridiculous hair, emerged from inside the air-ship. "They have hair almost as crazy as ours."
"Hey guys!" Clairissa said skidding her way down the hill in short bursts.
"Cliss!" one yelled. Yuugi saw that it was a girl- or an extremely effeminate male. Clairissa reached the bottom of the hill, and the girl pulled her into a hug.
"Not cool, dude! Not cool!" Clairissa choked out as she was being half-strangled. Yuugi slid down the hill after Clairissa, managing to trip over his own shoe. He tumbled into Clairissa, sending both crashing to the ground. Clairissa blinked at the awkward position Yuugi now rested on top of her in. As if it had a mind of its own, Yuugi's face turned red. The black-and-white haired girl stared at them, and then burst out laughing. "Not funny, Lexie!" Clairissa whined. Lexie's obnoxiously loud giggles gained the attention of Clairissa's family, now residing by the metal surface of the air-ship.
The boy, looking over immediately with what appeared to be a tall gorilla-man, began laughing hysterically as Yuugi quickly pushed himself up and stumbled backwards. "Please, let me die in a hole, right now," Yuugi heard Clairissa murmur as she pushed herself up and hid behind a tree. The white haired woman pushed her hand up to her face, holding back a laugh.
"What's your name? You're kinda cute," Lexie said poking Yuugi's nose.
"Uh, I don't understand what you're saying…" Yuugi commented in his native tongue, slightly creeped out by the finger prodding his nose.
"She says 'What's your name? You're kinda cute,'" Clairissa told him, also in Japanese, still hiding behind the tree. Yuugi's face turned even redder, if that was possible. "His name is Yuugi Motou," Clairissa responded to Lexie, switching back to English.
"Nice to meet you, Yuugi. I'm Lexie," she said shaking his hand violently. Clairissa translated for Yuugi once again.
After the introductions, they boarded the oddly-colored mobile. "Hey, you wanna see my room?" Zak asked pulling on Yuugi's arm. Clairissa slapped her forehead and for added effect, dragged her outstretched hand down her face. She quickly walked over, and out-of-the-blue punched Yuugi in the gut.
"Ouch," Yuugi groaned, dropping to his knees. "What was that for?"
Clairissa smirked in satisfaction. "Now you can speak English." (Clairissa: See! I told you my punches were magical!) Everyone in the room gawked at her, except for Yuugi who was still in pain on the floor, while she grinned brilliantly.
"So where is he going to sleep?" Clairissa asked later on in the night. Lexie immediately pointed at Clairissa. "Wha'?" Clairissa asked, confused.
"Well, he can't sleep in Zak's room since Doyle's already in there, and he can't sleep in mine because I'm a girl," she finished proudly.
"Excuse me?" Clairissa gave her the 'evil-eyes.' "I AM a girl, and you better think of a better reason for that."
"Uhhhhhhhh…" Lexie's mouth hung open. "He can't sleep in my room 'cause… I have… uh, a giant teddy-bear named Kevin taking up the entire space!" She let her eyes close, and her mouth twitched up in a satisfied smirk.
"You do not!" Clairissa called out pointedly.
"Do too!" Lexie snapped.
"Do NOT!"
"Do TOO!"
'I've never had girls fight over me before,' Yuugi said dreamily through his mind-link.
"Yes, but they're fighting over who you're NOT sharing a room with," his Yami laughed.
'You just have to take the fun out of everything, don't you?' Yuugi thought back.
"Do too times ten!" Lexie yelled.
"I don't care," Clairissa said, wrinkling her nose. She was not going to have a nerd in her room without a logical reason.
"I'll give you ten bucks," Lexie told her.
"Uh, uh. You'll have to do better than that!"
"Twenty?"
"Try again," Clairissa said after some thought.
"Thirty?" Clairissa made a face. "Forty; final offer."
"Forty-five," Clairissa bargained. Lexie sighed and gave in. "Deal," Clairissa said grinning. "Thanks for your business."
CZR: "Haha! I am back again!"
*More crickets chirping*
CZR: "Damn it Bakura! I told you to get rid of your cricket farm!"
Bakura: "I DID! I threw them in the waste baske-" *Looks at CZR* "Shit."
CZR: *Runs to waste basket and sees broken glass* "I MEANT OUTSIDE, YOU IMBECILE!"
Marik: "Imbecile. I agree."
Bakura: "I know what'chu meant. I just like annoying the hell out of you."
CZR: "Give him a pet on the head. It worked."
CZR/Marik: *Petting*
Bakura: "DAMN IT I'M NOT A KITTY!"
CZR/Marik: "Righhhhhht."
Tristan: "I don't believe you!"
Yuugi: "R&R please, it would (probably) make Clairissa-chan write faster… (Probably.) She doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh, or the Secret Saturdays."
CZR: "But I do own a p-"
Bakura/Marik: *Strangling CZR*
