Chapter Eight
"Rainbow Sunshine Land"

Note to readers: Hi everyone, it's Namiko. Sorry I haven't updated this in eons, but now I am. Whoo. The rating of this story has now gone up to "T" for more use of a word starting with "S" and reference to Yami x Yugi. Contact me if this is a problem. Oh, and I promised you all that I'd tell you the next Yu-Gi-Oh story idea…well, kids, it's "Yu-Gi-Oh Fairy Tales." Chapter One will be up soon…it's already written and everything. It's short and satirical…anywho, enjoy Chapter Eight of "A Cup of Ice to Go!"

"WHEEEEEEE!" Yugi screamed as he quickly ran away from the candy store. Everyone else was so shocked at this behavior that they followed him…all the way to the children's play area.

"Dear God," mumbled Malik.

"YAY!" shrieked Mokuba.

"What's that smell?" asked Tristan.
"I'll explain later," whispered Yugi.

Yugi calmly walked up to the security guard at the entrance to the play area. "Hi, Roger," Yugi greeted the guard, who noticed the unconscious Kaiba on Malik's back.

"Hey, Yugi…what's up?" Then he noticed Yami.

"Oh, hi! You must be Yugi's father! Yugi is my favorite kid, you know. He's a regular here at Rainbow Sunshine Land."

"DEAR GOD, YUGI!" Yami yelled at the sweatdropping Yugi. "Is THIS what you're really doing when you tell me, 'I'm just going to the video game store while you get your haircut. I'LL BE BACK BEFORE YOU'RE DONE!'???"

Roger's face turned red. "Please, Mr. Yugi's dad, he's just a kid!"

"Actually," said Tristan, "Yami's not Yugi's dad. They're more like life partners."

Tea gasped.
"Shit! I didn't mean it like that!"

"Sooo…" Roger murmured, "What can I do for you, Yugi?"
"Well, I was wondering if I could bring my friends in with me today!"

"Listen, Yugi, these big kids look like they don't want to share in the joys of Rainbow Sunshine Land. And besides…" He gestured towards a sign:

Welcome to Domino Mall's

Rainbow Sunshine Land

A Happy Play Place for
Children ages 10 and under

Yugi's mouth dropped. "OH GAWD!" he shrieked like group of girls. "Why didn't you ever tell me?" Roger replied, "It didn't seem to be a problem until you brought these big kids!"

"Um, excuse me," Joey interrupted, "But we're all in Yugi's class."
"OMIGAWD!" shrieked Roger in a way similar to Yugi. "HOW MANY YEARS HAVE YOU ALL BEEN HELD BACK?"

"We're all in tenth grade!" exclaimed Ryou.

Trying to get over the shock of it all, Roger said, "Yugi, you can't come in here. You're…you're too…too…OLD…"

"But we have to wake up Kaiba!"

"No."

"Huddle, please," Tea said. The group huddled.

"Yugi," she whispered, "Why the hell do you need to go in there to wake up Kaiba?"
"Well," said Yugi, "Mokuba knows that not even a herd of elephants can wake up Kaiba."
"Yeah…"
"And everyone knows Malik has back problems. But, alas, he is the only one of us strong enough to carry Kaiba."

"You got that right," said Malik.

"Well, under the slide in Rainbow Sunshine Land…well, this one little kid threw up, and the janitor hasn't found it yet."

"Ew," said Tea and Bakura simultaneously.

Yugi continued. "The smell is so strong, I think it could wake Kaiba up."

"I thought I could smell SOMETHING grotty," said Tristan.

Tea paused. "Wait," she said, "It smells and the janitor hasn't found it yet? NOBODY'S FOUND IT YET?"

Yugi shrugged. "The janitor lost his sense of smell in a freak accident. Roger's known it's been there for about a month but refuses to clean it up because it's not his job."

Marik thought a minute. "Couldn't we just hit Roger with the Millennium Rod? Then we could get in."

"Why can't we stab him with it?" Malik asked, about to unsheath the Rod's hidden knife.

"Because 4Kids censored it out."

Malik opened the Rod and found it empty. "DAMMIT!"

Marik continued. "We'll just knock Roger out, and then Malik can drag Kaiba under the slide…and then…drag Roger there too? He'll wake up and we'll run away."

"Lame idea," said Joey. "It's perfect."

So that's what they did. Kaiba did, in fact, wake up. Now everyone in the group was happy.

"I'm hungry." Mokuba said.
"Me, too." Yugi rubbed his stomach.
"All right," said Yami, "Let's go get some food."
But, knowing my style of writing, you know that there is going to be another problem along the way to the food court, don't you? Haha, gotta wait another chapter!
