Wow, this is weird…..after being missing for about oh, I don't know…6 or 7 months…..I'm back! Well, you guys probably really don't care anyway, so I'm going to try and write my stories again. (And a little better this time)
So I'm going to try and re-create the really crappy first Beach Party! into something better. It'll have the same plot, just some different details. Ok, so here you go: the NEW Beach Party!
BEEP! BEEP!
Tea woke up to her alarm clock sounding. "Uhh….why do I have to wake up at 6:00 every morning?" Tea flopped her head back into her pillow and stayed there.
BEEP! BEEP!
"Alright! Alright! Gosh, I'm waking up…." Tea turned off her alarm clock and lazily got out bed. She walked over to her closet while rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, "Ok, where's my school uniform?" She looked through her closet, pulling out used clothes that didn't fit her anymore, throwing old things she wouldn't be caught dead wearing, and pushing all of her old junk she didn't feel like throwing away out of the way.
"Ah-ha! There it is!" Tea said while she pulled out a clean uniform and stood up. She walked over to her dresser and got out a pair of socks and some of her other undergarments. "Looks like it's going to be another uneventful day at school. Oh, boy," she said sarcastically to herself. She put on her top and skirt and walked downstairs where she was greeted by an empty kitchen. She looked around.
"Yep, another uneventful day….."
Meanwhile…..over at Yugi/Yami's house….
"For some reason, I think today is going to be an eventful day." Yugi said while eating his cereal at the kitchen table. Yami gave him a weird sort-of tired glare.
"Don't hold your breath." Yami replied as he stood up and walked his dirty dishes over to the sink.
"Oh, come on. You're no fun. Why can't you just be a morning person for once? You stay up all night looking at your dueling cards and thinking of strategies. You should really consider sleeping. It's supposed to be good for you."
"Yeah, well so is chocolate, but that only makes people fatter, so there." Yami said.
"You will just never understand…." Yugi looked around as if he was trying to remember something. He did remember something.
Yami gave him a concerned look, "What's wrong, Yugi?"
"Aren't we supposed to meet Tea at the bus stop today?" There was a pause. Both Yugi and Yami looked at each other and then at the clock .Tea agreed to meet them at the bus stop at 7:15 and it was 7:10. They both stopped everything that they were doing and rushed to get their backpacks and things for school. While pushing and shoving their way out the door, Yugi's Grandpa called back to them, "You forgot to wash the dishes again! Uhh, I'm too old for this…I need a vacation…" And with that, he walked back into the shop.
Up ahead, Yugi and Yami were running like mad to get to the bus stop on time. Pushing people out of the way, running into things, and yelling at each other for being late only made things worse. It wasn't until they finally got to the bus stop that they found out that all of their efforts were for nothing. Tea wasn't there and neither was the bus.
"Well, this is just great. What are we supposed to do now?" Yami said as he leaned up against the fence next to him to catch his breath.
"I don't know." Yugi said, repeating Yami's actions, "Do you think we missed the bus?"
"No. the bus is supposed to come at 7:20. Right now it's- Yami looked down at his watch, "-7: 18. Ok, so we are a little late…..The bus is usually late too, though."
Yugi looked around for any sight of Tea, "Do you think Tea will be here?"
"Probably." Yami said plainly. "She hasn't missed a single day of school in her life. I don't think that she would start ditching now." Yami turned and leaned his back against the fence while naturally stuffing his hands in his pockets like he always did.
"True……." Yugi looked around for a little bit, "So what time is it?"
"Is this 20 questions or something? I don't know! Why don't you check your sundial of a watch! Jeez!" Yami yelled at Yugi. He didn't seem to be in a very good mood that day.
"I'm not wearing it today. I forgot to put it on because we were in such a rush this morning." Yugi looked at Yami with a corky smile. Yugi knew he won. Again.
"Whatever….." Yami puffed, "….smart-ass…." Yami whispered.
"What did you say?" Yugi asked quizzically.
"Nothing." Yami replied quickly. After that neither of them talked.
About 2 minutes passed. Tea was nowhere to be found and bus was late. They started to get worried that they actually did miss the bus. Finally Tea started to appear in the distance.
"Finally!" Yami said while walking down to greet Tea. Yugi followed.
"Hi Tea!" Yugi said in his usual cheery voice. Little did either of them know, Tea was listening to her music and couldn't hear a word that they were saying. Her earphones were hidden behind those brunette locks of hair that were neat and tidy like they always were.
"So what did you do last night?" Yugi asked. He seemed to be asking a lot of questions today.
"WHAT?" Tea said loudly. She pushed back some of her hair and removed one of her earphones.
"I said- Yugi said even louder- "what did you do last night!"
"Oh." Tea turned off her music, removed both earphones, and stuffed her CD player in her backpack. Then she turned back to Yami and Yugi. "Sorry about that. Anyway, I did my homework and went to dance class. What did you guys do?"
"Same old stuff we do every night. We did our homework and played video games." Yami replied.
"Wow, exciting…Hey! Did you hear about this new contest that's being held this weekend?" Tea looked at both of them.
"No"
"Nope"
"Well, whoever wins gets to go on a vacation to the Caribbean! I soooooo need to win. It's about time we've had a vacation." Tea explained.
"So how do you win the contest?" Yugi asked another one of his questions.
"Well, the contest is going to be held over the radio and the 100th caller to answer some kind of question correctly wins. I don't know about you guys, but I'm calling in. You can't win if you don't call." Tea simply stated.
"Do you know what the question is going to be about?" Yugi asked another one of his questions yet again.
"Man you're full of questions today, Yugi." Tea said to him.
"Sorry, I can't help it." Yugi smiled.
"Yes you can. You can shut-up." Yami coldly said to Yugi.
"Man, Yami that was kind-of harsh. What put you in such a bad mood this morning?" Tea asked Yami, concerned.
"Nothing, I'm just tired." Yami answered.
"Ok, well maybe you should get some sleep. It's supposed to be good for you." Tea said.
"Yeah, I know, I know." Yami said impatiently. "Jeez, does everything revolve around sleeping?"
"No. It just looks like you haven't gotten any last night." Tea told Yami.
"That's because he didn't get any sleep. He was up all night looking at his dueling cards." Yugi explained to Tea.
"Is that true Yami? You should really get your sleep. That's probably what's making you so grumpy, too."
"Whatever." Yami replied as he yawned loudly, covering his hand over his mouth.
Tea looked at him worriedly, but then went back to the subject at-hand, "Ok, well back to the contest: I was thinking that we could all call in so that our chances of winning would be greater. What do you think?"
"I don't mind." Yugi chirped in.
"Sure." Yami said.
"Ok, great. So all of us can meet at my house on Saturday." Tea said, "I'll tell Joey and Tristan about the contest at school today, so you won't have to worry about them. I wonder if Kaiba would like to come with us?" All of them thought about this for about five seconds and they all agreed that it would just be between the five of them. (And possibly Yugi's Grandpa.)
"Ok, so now that we have all of that set up, all we have to do is get a ride to school and we'll be able to tell Joey and Tristan." Yami said, looking for the bus.
It was getting pretty late. The bus usually didn't come this late. When the bus did finally arrive, it was already filled with the other students. It was hard to get a seat as it was, but trying to get a seat with one of your friends was even tougher. Since the bus was full, the trio decided to split up and they all sat at different parts of the bus. It wasn't that bad, but it did get very annoying. Most of the kids were either throwing paper at your head or screaming in your face just for their own entertainment. It wasn't very pleasant. That really didn't matter too much, though. The ride only lasted about 5 minutes so the torture didn't last very long.
When everyone got off the bus, they went about their ordinary morning routine. After Gym, Math, Science, and Health everyone met up at their usual spot where they ate lunch. Joey and Tristan were in the lunch line, taking everything they could find appealing as if they've never eaten before, and the rest of the gang were sitting outside waiting for them to get done.
"Man, why do those guys have to take so long?" Tea asked impatiently. "I hope they know this isn't a buffet."
"They think that every restaurant is a buffet." Yami stated plainly.
"True."
Joey and Tristan walked over to where the gang was and joined them laughing their heads off.
"What's so funny, guys?" Yugi asked.
"Hold on one second…" Joey and Tristan both laughed a little more and then turned back to the gang, "Ok, sorry, anyway, we were in the lunch line and that fat-ass lunch lady asked me what I wanted, and I'm like 'Food.' She gives me this really evil glare and then she snaps back at me (Joey imitating the lunch ladies voice) 'You little smart-ass! Wipe that smile off of your face or else you won't ever be buying lunch hear again!' By this time, Joey and Tristan were both laughing their heads off again. The gang looked at Joey and Tristan, not finding the humor in any of it.
"Ummm…so let me get this straight: You guys think that it's funny that you antagonized the lunch lady and she responded that she wouldn't ever serve you guy's lunch again? I really don't see the humor in that." Tea told the boys. What Tea said didn't seem to reach the boys' ears because they continued to laugh, "Whatever, you guys are so immature." and Tea walked off to where they usually ate lunch. Yugi followed. Yami stayed behind with Joey and Tristan and waited for them to stop laughing.
"I still don't understand what's so funny about that." Yami told them flat-out.
"Don't you get it? That lunch lady is going to get fired since we made her say that right in front of the principal. That ass. She doesn't cook the food well enough anyway." Tristan explained to Yami.
"Well, everyone does seem to hate her…..Oh, well. It's not my problem." Yami shrugged his shoulders and went off to find Tea and Yugi. Joey and Tristan followed eager to tell Tea the rest of the story.
When Yami and the others got to where Tea and Yugi were, they all sat down and began to eat their lunches. It was quiet for the most part (with the occasional belch from Joey). Nothing really seemed to be going on that was so fantastic. Finally Tea spoke up to tell Tristan and Joey about the contest.
"Hey, guys?" Tea asked.
"Yah?" Joey said while stuffing a hot dog in his mouth.
"Did you hear about this contest that is going to be held over the radio? Whoever wins gets a free vacation to the Caribbean. I was thinking that we should all enter. What do you think?" Tea looked at the boys. Tea's words didn't seem to be reaching them, "Hello? The contest? Did you or did you not hear about it?" Teas voice got a little louder this time. Joey and Tristan continued to stuff their faces. "GUYS! DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE CONTEST OR NOT!" By this time, Tea was screaming at the boys. Some of the other people near by stopped and looked to see what was going on. Tea tried to calm down, but it didn't work too well.
"Come on, Tea, you don't have to yell at us like that. We were eatin' and you just start talkin' and interruptin' us. Just take a chill pill man." Joey said to try and calm her down. It didn't seem to be working. Tea was still mad at the boys, but she tried not to show it. Tea huffed and then went to throw her tray away.
"What was it that she was trying to tell us?" Tristan asked.
Yugi responded, "She wanted to know if you've heard about this contest that is going to be held over the radio this weekend. Whoever wins gets a vacation to the Caribbean!"
"Wow, that's interestin'. So what's the catch?" Joey asked.
"Well, you have to be the 100th caller on this radio station and answer a question correctly to win. Tea said that she was going to call in, and she wants all of us to meet at her house this Saturday so that we can all call in at the same time to increase our chances of winning." Yami explained
Joey grinned, "Sure we'll be there! I don't think I want to tell her that we'll help out right now, though. I think that she's still mad at us," Joey looked over to where Tea was and saw her acting natural like nothing had happened, "Can you tell her for us?"
Yugi looked at Tea and then back at the boys, "Sure. We'll tell her."
"Thank you sooooo much! Hey, we'll catch ya lata! Bye!"
"Bye!"
"Seeya." And with that, Joey and Tristan walked off.
"Well, that was interesting, don't you think?" Yugi asked Yami.
"About as interesting as it ever gets around here." Yami stood up to dump his tray off with Yugi right behind him. After their food was disposed of, they met up with Tea at her locker to tell her that Joey and Tristan would be coming.
"Hey, Tea. Joey and Tristan said that they would come to help us win the contest," Yugi explained.
"Whatever. They don't need to come. I found out that our chances of winning are slim-to-none anyway. I guess we'll never get that vacation….." Tea drifted off sadly.
"Oh, come on, Tea. It's like what you said before: 'You can't win if you don't call.'" That was Yugi's attempt to get Tea to feel better. It didn't seem to work. Yugi had always managed to cheer Tea up whenever she was down, but today just wasn't Tea's day. (it wasn't Yami's either.)
"Thanks for trying to cheer me up, but I have to go. I need to get to my dance class which I still need to lose 10 pounds for." Tea stated.
"What! How do you get 10 pounds off of your body? You're practically a toothpick as it is!" Yami exclaimed.
Tea sighed, "Well, in order to be in some of the musicals I'm trying to get into, my dance instructor said I needed to lose more weight, otherwise, I won't get anywhere with my dancing. I hate trying to lose weight, though. I should just get a new hobby and forget about dancing." Tea stuffed a book into her locker.
"No! If you like dancing, then you should to it. Nobody is forcing you to do anything," Yugi was giving another one of his famous speeches; "You should dance because you want to, not just to be in certain plays or musicals. By the way, in order to be in a musical, don't you have to sing?" Yugi asked off-topic.
"Yes, you have to sing to be in a musical." Tea answered grabbing her backpack out of her locker.
"Are you a good singer?" Yugi asked.
"I don't know," Tea said sarcastically, "I've been taking vocal lesson for about 4 years, but I don't think that I'm a good singer." (a/n: ok, I know in the series that Tea doesn't take vocal lessons, but I've always imagined her being a good singer, so just bare with me.) Tea closed her locker and turned to the boys.
"I didn't know you liked to sing, Tea. Why didn't you tell us?" Yami finally entered the conversation.
"Well, you never asked. Hey, I gotta go. I catch up with you guys later. Seeya!" Tea turned to leave.
"Bye, Tea!" Yugi said cheerfully.
"Seeya." Yami waved.
After that, the week flew by. Before they knew it, it was already Saturday, and it was time for the contest. Everyone met up at Teas house and brought their cell phones. It was time to see who would win the contest.
(continued)
Yep, that's about it. Hopefully this beach party turns out better than the last one. Anywayz, at the part where Joey and Tristan made fun of the lunch lady: that actually did happen to someone in my class. It was really funny. (except they didn't get the lunch lady fired or anything. That would never happen!) Well, anywayz, stick around because the next chapter of Beach Party! is coming up soon. Please R&R! It is so very important!
