Gotc: WOOOOOOOOOOO! The greatest and favorite holiday of all pyromaniacs is here at last! The 4th of July! Let's give it up for this great country that we live in! Anyway, I realize that the 4th doesn't carry the same weight in Japan that it does here in the US of A, but to be completely honest, I don't really care...Even though my timing is slightly late...No time to post yesterday. This way, it's funny, and we all love the funny. LOVE IT! Erhem... Moving on, I don't own ygo, but one day I shall kill the arrogant fools who made Yu-gi-oh GX...They deserve to die...

Ace: She's had some serious problems with that show...Especially because it came out before

Yu-gi-oh was actually over.

Gotc: And how can they call it Yu-gi-oh when he's gone!

Ace: Ok, enjoy the fic while I give Gotc her happy pills...

Gotc: WOOT!

Chapter 1:Why are we doing this again?

Dawn. The sun is shining, the air is clean, cute little birds are singing merrily-

"BAKA BIRDS!"

Ok, so the cute little birds are singing in the Shadow Realm, but this is besides the point. Malik walked in to a pitch black room and threw open the curtains to let in the sunlight, resulting in a stream of creative curses emanating from a blond-haired bundle in the bed.

"Come on Marik. You need to get up, it's noon already."

"It is not! The crazy authoress just said it was dawn!"

"You set her clock back six hours last night, remember?"

Authoress: "YOU DID WHAT!"

"Come on," Malik sighed, "I need you to help me pack lunch."

"And why, dare I ask, are we doing that?"

"Because, we're meeting Yugi and the gang at the park for a 4th of July picnic."

"And what in Ra's name did I do to deserve this?"

"You're making it out to be something horrible."

"And spending the day sitting on a blanket with the Pharaoh, High Priest, and psychotic

Tomb Robber isn't?"

Malik sighed. This was going to be one looooooong day...

"No."

"Please!"

"No."

"Pleeeeeeeeeaseeeee!"

"No."

"Why not!"

"Because I am Pharaoh, and I don't have to do anything that I don't want to." Yami stated in a very matter-of-factly tone, before returning to his video game.

Yugi stared at his back, and pouted, while Yami paid him absolutely no mind at all. In fact he was concentrating sooo hard on his game, he never noticed Yugi quietly slipping away in the direction of the breaker box...

"Die already, you stupid zombie!"Yami screamed at the t.v. before there was a click and the t.v. went dark.

Yugi smiled contently, with power to the whole house shut off.

"5..4..3..2..1..."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"I'll bet he wants to go now."

"Ryou! Get that Ra-be-damned thing out of here!"

"Bakura...It's a vacuum cleaner..."

Bakura prodded the bag of the vacuum cleaner with the end of a stick.

"This thing is pure evil, I'm telling you!"He said continuing to poke it, "It eats things I leave on the floor to attract the rats!"

"And why on Earth would you be doing that?"

"Same reason I should be asking you why you cook your food. It's a wonder I haven't starved to death here yet..."

"Bakura," Ryou sighed, "Please will you leave that alone, and go get ready? We're gonna be late for the picnic."

"No, you're going to be late. I'm not going."

"Bakura-.."

Just then, the end of Bakura's stick found the "on" switch and roared to life. Bakura jumped 3ft in the air before taking cover behind the couch.

"SEE! It is alive! It's growling at me!"

Ryou rolled his eyes.

"Tell you what,"He offered, "I'll put the vacuum cleaner to sleep, long enough for you to get by. But he's gonna be mad when he wakes up, so you'll need to be somewhere he can't find you...Oh! I know! The park!"

"Humph, what kind of fool do you take me for Yandoushi? I know you'll wake it up right as I'm going past!"

Ryou glared at Bakura with "his look", and "his look" never meant good things were to happen...

"Ok, ok I'll trust you.."

"Good."Ryou smiled as he switched off the vacuum, "now hurry up before this thing wakes up again."

Seto Kaiba watched as half of their house was being crammed into a single limo, and his younger brother ran by with more.

"Mokuba."

"OOO! We need this!"

"Mokuba."

"OOOO! Can't forget these!"

"MOKUBA!"

The youngest Kaiba stopped dead in his tracks holding an armload of fireworks...well, snakes and sparklers mostly.

"Yeah?"

"Mokuba, if you put anything else in that car, there's no going to be any room for us to sit!"

"But-.."

"And..Leave those fireworks here. The last thing we need to do is give those insane yamis something destructive to do."

"BUT SETO! You can't have a 4th of July picnic without fireworks!"

Kaiba sighed.

"Fine, but don't you put another thing in this car, other than yourself got it?"

"Sure thing. Oh wait! Let me just get one more thing!"

"MOKUBA!"

"Ok, ok, I'm commin..."

Gotc: Short? Yes. Funny? Hoping. But then again that is entirely up to you. PLZ REVIEW! I NEED TO FEEL LOVED TOO!
