Caitlin- *does the happy dance* YAY! I'M FREE!

Author- *scoff* Yeah right, *points at herself* I still own you.

Caitlin- *groans*

Author- I'm going to answer a few questions first,

%First%: No, when I write Yug, I am not forgetting the 'I' in Yugi, just Joey calls Yugi Yug, (Like You-g or Y-ooh-g if you prefer. ^^)

%Second%: Yes, you will meet a few of new characters late on in the fic.

%Third%: Yes, they will visit most for the states in the USA so the fic will go on and on until there aren't any other places to go.

Yugi turned over in his bed a few more times, Joey knocked on the wood on his top bunk, "Hey Yug, could you stop moving around so I can get some shut eye?"

"Sorry Joey, I just can't get to sleep."

"That seems almost impossible seeing as these beds are like clouds."

"I don't think it's the bed, I think it's the light out there. It's just keeping me awake."

"Me too," Ryou said, making it known that he wasn't asleep.

"Really?" said Joey, "I didn't really notice it."

Yugi got up and looked out the window into the darkness, sure enough there was a golden glowing coming from the lake area. "Hey it's Caitlin."

They both got up and looked out the window, Ryou squinted, "What's she doing?"

"Just- sitting there." Joey answered.

Suddenly the light went out and they saw Caitlin look down at her pocket. Although it was a lot harder to see her, they could still make out her taking out the cell phone and answering it. It wasn't long after when they saw her throw it into the lake.

"Whoa," Joey said, "Didn't see that coming."

She got up and slowly walked back down the boardwalk, with a look on her face that said her Yami was talking to her.

"Wonder what that was for." Ryou said curiously.

"Do you think we should ask her?" Yugi asked.

"No way! They she'd know we were spying on her!" Joey exclaimed.

"Well then we'll just have to keep it to ourselves." Yugi said quietly, "And we'd better get to sleep, must be four in the morning by now."

********

"Look at this, look- at- this!" Caitlin exclaimed, emerging from the bathroom holding a tiny container, "This, is the shampoo they gave us."

Tea looked at it, "So?"

"So! It's going to take me FOUR of these little things to clean my hair ONE time! Why can't they just give you one big container!?"

Tea laughed, "Because that would be too logical, they have to annoy you and make you use MORE bottles of shampoo so they make MORE money."

Caitlin smirked, "Well this is one person who they aren't going to con out of their money. I brought my own bottle of shampoo for just this sort of problem."

"Being prepared is a good thing."

"Always was, always will be."

The girls were still in their P.Js and Tea was still lying on the bed under the covers. They had slept until ten in the morning and were just getting up. Caitlin had called up room service for both of the rooms a couple minutes before hand and they were just waiting for it now.

"You did call for breakfast for the boys room right?" Tea said, pushing a loose hair out of her face.

"Yup, they should be delivering it any moment now."

"That's good."

"Tea, there has been a change of plans."

"What do you mean?"

"I think we are going to visit Hollywood, then go to Hawaii instead of Florida."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I thought about it last night and- we should enjoy our time here and Hollywood can't be THAT far and Hawaii is closer then Florida you know?"

"I get it, it's fine with me."

"But I did think we'd spend the day here first, go to H.W tomorrow, then Hawaii the next day."

"Does-"

Room service came into the room with a jug of milk, a box of cereal (Cinnamon Marshmallow Scooby Doo Cereal) and two bowls. Tea stared at the cereal as he left it on the table and Caitlin laughed.

"They probably don't sell this in Japan do they?"

Tea just shook her head and opened the box. Caitlin filled the bowl with milk and Tea tried it, "It's actually really good."

Caitlin smiled and looked at the digital clock on the table, "Hurry up and eat, we've got to go to the pool and meet up with Mai- I mean, MY friend."

Tea rolled her eyes, "I know who it is already Caitlin you don't have to try and hide it."

Caitlin huffed, "How did you know?"

"Oh common, did you really think you'd keep it from us with how bad at lying you are?"

"I'm not bad a bad liar."

"Oh really? Well what about this one, 'My friend Bob wanted the item because SHE thought it was powerful."

Caitlin rolled her eyes "Do you have to bring up the bad points."

"Yes, I do. It's my job."

"And I'm not really bad at lying, I'm bad at cover stories. I can lie fine, its just hiding things that I can'' do without changing the story every time I tell it."

"Whatever you say."

"So you know it's Mai?"

"Yes haven't you listened to anything I just said?"

"In that case, get in your bathing suit we're going to meet Mai at the pool."

**********

There was a second rap on the door and everyone groaned. "Room service!" The voice said again.

"We didn't order room service!" Tristen groaned.

"Someone ordered breakfast up for you, room 102 do you know them?"

Another groan, of coarse it couldn't just be a mistake; it had to be for them from the girls. Even Joey wasn't quick to get up, so after three minutes the person just came in and left the tray on the table muttering under his breath.

NOW Joey got up and grabbed a bowl, "If I wasn't this hungry, I wouldn't get up."

Tristen covered his head with his pillow, "What time is it?"

Yugi looked over at the clock, "Ten thirty already."

The phone rang once and then left a message. Only it was Caitlin's voice singing to the tune of Happy Birthday.

"Good morning to you, good morning to you, good morning you lazy bones good morning to you. This is your wake up call; hello it is ten thirty already! Anyway Tea and I will meet you guys at the pool at around eleven or noonish." Then it stopped.

Tristen grinned, "Pool, that means girls in bikinis!"

Everyone seemed to be thinking the same thing and got out of bed quicker then anyone would have thought possible.

Of coarse the thing to get them up would be girls.

-= At the Pool Deck =-

Tea sat down at an empty table in the sunlight and finished the rest of her smoothie she had gotten while waiting for the guys. Tea sighed and rolled her eyes at Caitlin, who was just emerging from the girl's bathroom with a long shirt and jeans, sunglasses, and a large floppy hat. She sat down at the chair next to Tea and fidgeted with her shirt.

"You know Caitlin, it isn't mandatory to wear all that clothes. I'm all for 'Protecting yourself from the sun's harmful rays' but, isn't that a bit much?"

"Ha ha very funny. It's not like I have THAT much of a choice, when I'm in another state MAYBE I'll wear less. But I've already been stopped TWICE for autographs. It's downright annoying. They remind me of flies when you're at a picnic, no matter how many times you try to protect yourself; they come and annoy you anyway. "

"How exactly is Mai supposed to recognize you with all that on?"

Caitlin paused, then said, "When I see her, I'll wave my arms around shouting and she'll come over."

"Either that or you'll scare her away and she'll pretend she doesn't know you."

Caitlin shrugged and looked out at the pool. It was a very pretty shade of blue that day because of how bright it was, and if you squinted, you could see the bit of a rainbow in the waterfall.

{ Man, I've only been here for a few minutes and I'm already sweating! }

{{ Well what do you expect? It's summer in California and you're dressed like it's snowing for goodness sake. }}

"Hey guys!" She heard Tea shout. Caitlin turned around and looked at the group of boys making their way over to the table. Despite the efforts to hurry, they still made it to the pool late. Tea got up and waved them over.

"Tea!" Yugi exclaimed, "Hi! Wow you look, great!"

Caitlin almost laughed; it was so funny to watch them. It seemed so obvious that Tea liked Yugi, and Yugi liked Tea, but none of them wanted to do anything about it but compliment and daydream.

"And what about you?" Joey said, raising an eyebrow at Caitlin, "Not exactly pool wear is it?"

Tristen laughed, "Yeah! Common Caitlin let's see some skin!"

Caitlin glared at them, but they probably didn't notice it behind the dark sunglasses.

"Oh Caitlin, I'm in my suit! And no one here will ask you for your autograph, or we'll just have to take care of them." Tea said.

Caitlin groaned and got up, she looked at them for a while before taking her shirt and hat off. She tried not to blush when the guys hooted and catcalled at her, and instead went down to the water. She felt it with her hand, then dove in.

"Water's great, come on in!" She said, coming up for a second dive.

Joey dipped his toe in, "That's crazy cold!" He exclaimed.

Tristen followed, "You're right, what is it sixty degrees?"

Caitlin grabbed them by the hand and yanked. Joey managed to free himself quickly,

But Tristen didn't.

He landed face first in the water after Caitlin and it took him a few moments to regain himself. His teeth chattered a few times before giving the rest of them the thumbs up signal.

"Tristen are you nuts?" Yugi said, "There is NO WAY I'm getting in there."

Tristen smirked, "Not like you have a choice." He said, grabbing Yugi.

Yugi yelped and grabbed Tea at the same time he was pulled in. Tea screamed when she fell in, but got used to the water faster then Tristen did.

"If I have to get in the water." She said, "Then Joey does too!"

Only she couldn't find Joey, he was busy running for his life for fear of getting pulled into the cold water. Ryou however, felt trapped and didn't run. He could only stand there and back up slowly as they all edged closer to him.

"Wait! Don't I have a say in what happens to me!?" He exclaimed.

Tea grinned, "None whatsoever."

They all grabbed Ryou's arm and yanked him into the cold water. Ryou's lips turned a purplish blue when he got in, and pretty much just stood in the water shivering. Caitlin jumped in again and got under the waterfall. The pressure of the water however, was so strong that she was forced underwater. She got up and smiled, "It's like a head massage, only they're using a hammer instead of their hands."

Tea shook her head, "If they were using a hammer, you would die."

"Fine let's say it was a heavy FOAM hammer. Better?"

"Watch out!" Joey yelled, soaking her with a large squirt gun.

Caitlin coughed and stared at him, "Where did you find that squirt gun!?"

"There were a bunch left on the deck, I guess a family left them."

Caitlin was out of the water and looking for the guns faster then, something really fast. (Late... tired... can't think of fancy writing right now.) She grabbed a light blue one and ran after Joey laughing dramatically.

"With this squirt gun, I will be able to take over the world! ONE PERSON AT A TIME! MWAHAHAHA! Man that would take a long time..."

Yugi jumped out from behind a table with his own red gun. "Not so fast- um.."

"The Waternater."

"Ok? Not so fast Waternater!"

Caitlin gasped, "Oh no! Not the-"

"Just Yugi."

"Not Y-man!"

"Y-man? I said Yugi!"

Joey came up from behind him, "And his faithful partner Power Man!"

Caitlin grimaced, "Power Man?"

"Hey I didn't have much notice, and at least it's better then, 'The Waternater!"

"Watern-A-ter, not NAter. The 'A' says it's name."

"Fine, anyway at least it's better then that."

"Well if Yugi gets a partner," Tea said, getting out of the pool, "Then I'll be on Caitlin I mean, The Waternater's side."

Caitlin smiled, "Great TG!"

Tea rolled her eyes, "I'm not even going to ask."

"Since when did you get to be the official namer anyway?" Joey said.

"Since I have a gun filled with 60 degree water and your water has been sitting in the squirt gun, in the sun, for who knows how long." She replied.

Joey seemed satisfied with the answer, so he shut up. Tea laughed and Caitlin turned to her; "Where's your gun?"

"I don't have one yet."

Caitlin huffed, "Well you're going to have to get one, they're over there."

Tea ran off, leaving Caitlin with Joey, Yugi, Tristen, and Ryou. Tristen and Ryou just were joining the side as 'androids eight and nine' because they couldn't think of a name. Feeling outnumbered, Caitlin took that moment to run and hide.

"Day one." She said into her hand like it was a recorder, "I am not sure if I am on enemy territory or not, but I don't like it. My only partner abandoned me, (Sorta kinda) and I'm left on my own against all the boys. I think one is coming for me, I'd better go. Over and out."

Joey came up behind her, but Caitlin shot him first. Caitlin took great pride in her sound effects though, so she didn't exactly skimp on them. "Jewjewjewjewjew!" She shouted.

Joey cringed, "It's cold! It's cold!"

Caitlin grabbed his gun and aimed it at him, "Does this mean I win?"

Joey paused, "I don't think so."

"Fine, then you at least be on my team."

"Uh, ok?"

Caitlin gave him the gun back and started to crouch behind tables, humming the Mission Impossible theme song while she was doing it.

"Day one, again. I have earned yet another team mate, I am happy, that is all."

Caitlin heard Yugi shout and started to run, "I'll get you Water person!"

Caitlin turned around while she was sprinting, "It's Waternater!"

Caitlin wasn't looking were she was going unfortunately, and ran straight into someone.

That someone was Mai Valentine.

Caitlin gasped and smiled, "Oh hi Mai!"

"Hello to you to, why were you-"

"I've got you now WaternAter!" Yugi shouted, drenching Caitlin with his gun.

Along with Mai, who was behind her.

Yugi stopped and bit his lip, "Oops."

Mai wiped the water from her eyes slowly and took a deep breath, "Hello Yugi."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
