Hullo my friends and welcome to my second Yu-Gi-Oh! Fic. My first was "Tiny Dancer" and I enjoyed working on that, although I think I'm going to work on an epilogue for it. ^-^ But that'll be in the future.

This fic will have all the casts' dubbed names except for Ryou's, 'cause as much as I like the name Bakura…Ryou sounds cuter.

Téa haters BEWARE!!! I'm Pro-Téa and there may be some Ryou/Téa later on.

[I have found my favorite chapter of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Manga! Duel 41: Let's Find "Love"! Yugi's mom is a crack up!]

Chapter One: The Invitation

A knock of the door brought the biggest surprise of the day for Yugi Mutou and his friends. The mailman had a package, addressed to Yugi, from Industrial Illusions.

"Pegasus…again?" Joey winced, his face showing his disgust. "Please, please, tell me that's not a tape."

"Okay, I won't tell you, Joey." Yami said, snickering.

"Just put the tape in, wouldja Yug?"

Yugi nodded and placed the tape in the VCR. The rest of the gang crowded around the TV. The tape was snowy for a few seconds before Maximillian Pegasus' face appeared.

"Finally this stupid thing is working…Oh. Hello Yugi, and of course, his friends." Pegasus smiled, "I'd like to invite you all to Duelist Kingdom for a party I'm throwing. There will be a Karaoke contest of sorts and perhaps a duel or two. It's to show all you that I want bygones to be bygones. I hope to see you all again very, very soon. Farewell." After those words, the tape went blank…and so did the group's faces.

"All right, can someone tell me what that was about?" Téa asked, still skeptical of anything concerning Pegasus.

"Wish I could Téa, but I really don't understand it myself." Ryou answered her, just as confused as the rest.

Oddly enough, two other people received packages from Industrial Illusions, by the names of Seto Kaiba and Duke Devlin.

Seto refused to go, saying how childish it would be. Unfortunately Mokuba had other ideas…and that dreadful look people called "Puppy-dog eyes". So Seto caved and told him they'd go. Great, now I'll have to spend five days with that loser. The head of Kaiba Corp. thought to himself, Just great…

Duke on the other hand needed no such looks to decide to go. Finally, he was going get to meet Maximillian Pegasus in person! His hopes soared. Pegasus had invited him, HIM, to Duelist Kingdom.

"Wait a second…Karaoke? Oh, forget it! This is just too good to pass up!" Duke grinned, running to pack his bags.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Two days later Yugi and company met Duke on the docks, waiting for the boat to Duelist Kingdom.

"Hey guys, what's up?" Duke said hesitantly, "Why are you here?"

"Same reason as you, I guess." Yugi answered, "Pegasus invited us all to a party on Duelist Island."

"Oh…" Duke was down cast, he thought he was getting special treatment.

Téa smiled, "Cheer up Duke! This'll be fun."

"I guess." He said sadly.

The boat finally docked as they began loading their bags onto the conveyer connected to the ship. As they were about to board the gangplank a black limousine came screeching to a halt right next to them. Out stepped a peeved Seto Kaiba and an overly excited Mokuba.

"Yugi! Hi!" Mokuba said, bounding over to greet them, "You guys are coming to?"

Ryou smiled down at him, "Of course we are, little one. We wouldn't miss this for the world."

The black haired kid beamed, "Neither would we, right Seto? …Seto?" he turned around to find his brother glaring right at Joey Wheeler.

"Kaiba…" Joey growled.

"Mutt."

Tristan held Joey back, but just barely. Kaiba is seriously asking for it, he thought. "C'mon man, he's not worth it."

"Yeah, whatever." Joey grumbled and turned to walk away.

"Good dog." Kaiba let out a mocking laugh that made Joey's face flush with anger. Téa walked right up to Kaiba, against Ryou's better judgement, and glared at him. Her actions just made him that superior smile of his. "Oh look, Miss Friendship. Going to tell me to play nice?"

Téa sneered, stomped on his left foot and then kicked him in the opposite shin. She returned the same smile he had just given her when he let out a small yelp of pain. "No. Not really."

Duke cracked up. Téa really had guts. "Never thought I'd see Mr. high-and-mighty Kaiba be put in his place, much less by a girl. Nice."

Seto growled and led Mokuba onto the boat. The rest of the group boarded the boat and they were off a short while later. The night was uneventful, with the normal snores from Joey and the sounds of Tristan strangling his bestfriend. All in all it was a peaceful night. Except for Seto Kaiba, whom was nursing a bruised shin as well as a bruised ego.
