Hello everyone. Since its Spring Break for me I thought I could do a small Spring Break Story. Now, what do and what to think. So many things will happen in this story! For this, I decided to be rather . . . laid back, sarcastic, it's a rather smart ass story, I can tell you that much. I promise there will be some romance, fluffies and whatnot. Warning, I also make fun of fangirls. (In the Yu-Gi-Oh! World, who said I was talking about the fangirls in reality?)

What to do on your Senior year of Spring Break? Well, there's quite a bit on that list. Hang with friends, rent a beach house for seven days, get drunk, play Monopoly, crab hunting, enjoy the white sandy beaches, see some dolphins, play in the waves while trying to dodge the bigger crabs, laugh, live, you know, the regular stuff. Well, sometimes you don't get regular; especially while hanging out with Yugi Mutou and his 'brother'.

Rated M for language, alcohol is present, some yummy lemons, and some strange crazy behavior.

Disclaimer, I own nothing(I also don't own Monopoly!).

The Beach House

Chapter 1

Spring Break, the ultimate week to have a blast and hang with friends, to have crazy awesome parties and get drunk, that was what Spring Break was all about. For one blue-eyed brunette, this is what she had been waiting for since freshman year of high school, she'd saved up all the extra money she could get her hands on over the course of four years and she had a small fortune to spend, all for that one week. But why spend it all alone when she could bring her four guy-friends with?

Anzu Mazaki was an ordinary tomboy with the exception the yeah, she got pulled into a few shadow games, had her mind controlled a few times by a crazy psychopath, almost never had a normal day when it came to hanging out with her best buddy, Yugi Mutou, and had four guys for friends that occasionally got her into some sticky situations with fangirls, but like she gave a flying fuck about those that were jelly, they could go fuck their dildos and vibrators. Wasn't her fault she had become friends with some guys girls liked to see as gay.

Anyway on to better and brighter subjects, Spring Break, beach house for a week, all equaled fun beyond image, and considering Yugi was coming with, it was going to be a freaking, supernatural for sure, blast. She had helped Joey Wheeler, Tristan Taylor, and Yugi Mutou with all their late work assignments, projects, and just helping them get their grades up in general so they didn't end up failing. Senior year was not the time to fuck up.

Even better, yeah it can get better, Atem was coming with. Yes, Atem as in the former spirit that used to share Yugi's body. Confused? Well, Yugi completed this golden upside-down pyramid puzzle sophomore year which was inhabited by a spirit of an Ancient Pharaoh who lost all his memories, well, he sealed them away but we'll get to that. For some months Yugi slowly gained some contact with him, slowly as in a slug running in a ten mile race, but Pegasus, a rich million or billionaire which no one seemed sure of his sexuality even though he once had a wife, helped them connect by stealing Yugi's Grandpa's soul and so there was drama about that where they had to do to an island and duel all these duelists and whatnot. After Yugi beat Pegasus, and seriously, who doubted him, they went back thanks to the grace of Seto Kaiba, another rich one, only he was a teenager and previously went to school with them but he became too cool for school. Personally Anzu wondered when he was going to pull that damn poll out of his ass.

Then came Battle City, enter two, plus one, psychopaths, Bakura no-last-name and a guy named Marik who had some seriously misplaced anger that stemmed from a weird childhood, go figure. Anyway, from Marik came this seriously twisted version of himself, if you could look up crazy psychopath in the dictionary you'd see this guy's picture. Then the whole thing got side-tracked because of Seto Kaiba's family problems and former business peeps. A kid by the name of Noah, who wasn't all that bad, just needed some love, seriously, being trapped in a computer doesn't sound cool at all. Well, long story short, Yami, the spirit in the puzzle, defeated Kaiba, helped Marik, the actually really nice guy, see the light, and gained some pretty powerful cards called the God Cards.

After that was over they all went to the museum to try and unlock Yami's true past but that was screwed over when this really old, older than Yami, guy who was once the king to who-knows-if-its-real-or-not Atlantis. That was a complete and total shit stain for the year. Not even worth talking about since the world is still here so that basically means Yami won again.

Up next was some more supernatural with shadow capsule monster game. That was sort of fun, with a few crummy parts but we won't get into that. Cool part was they got to meet Alexander the Great. How she would have loved to sit down with him and ask him questions as she wrote up a report on his actual life.

Then came another duel tournament, nothing really supernatural, for once, with that, just some guy who couldn't stand competition. His plans were foiled and became a total fail.

Then, finally, Yami got to know his past where they learned that his name was Atem, he was a good Pharaoh, so suck it evil Dartz, he defeated the bad guys the second time around and all was happy. Second part of that was not-so-happy, more so painful. Atem had to duel Yugi and they did duel, but it ended in a tie. No one lost but no one won. So the gods made a compromise, Atem got to stay in his own body and live of the rest of his life in the modern world while Yugi could walk about his own person with some more confidence. The items still disappeared to wherever the hell the hole went and that was the end of the supernatural, for the most part.

She still caught a glimpse of weird from time-to-time, like very faint images of ghosts, probably Atem's old friends and family popping in to see if he was doing okay. She didn't really care about that considering she would do the same, just to see what her buddies were up to.

Back to the beach house, yes, Atem was coming with them and though he didn't like to show it, but Yugi had told her that he was actually really excited. Gulf Shores, and just for the sheer fun of it they were driving down there. It was going to be a good kind of crazy, something they all needed badly.

Anzu went through her checklist, carefully marking things off as she loaded the things up in her father's huge dark blue truck which could seat five comfortably. "Joey and Tristan will no doubt eat a lot, it's a seven hour drive so . . ." she paused and did the math in her head. She sighed. "Why can't there be a built in fridge? That would be so much easier." She huffed.

A chuckle made her look up to see her dad, a lot like her, brown hair, blue eyes, only he had a slight tan to him that never seemed to go away. Lucky . . . "A built in fridge, huh? I'll have to think about that. It would certainly help when I went on my long trips."

Anzu smirked and placed both hands on her hips a one brow shot up. "So you feel the itch to invent again? Goodness, Dad, there's so much the world can take." She joked, making Mr. Mazaki laugh. He walked over and wrapped his daughter in a hug; he was leaving on a business trip sadly.

"Be good and watch out for Joey and Tristan." He said, winking teasingly, making Anzu grin. Ah, the last family Christmas Party, Joey and Tristan had gone all out drinking. Her dad hadn't minded, in fact it gave him the best laugh he had since his wife had died last August.

"I'll try. They'll be driving, I know that much but once we get there, who knows what will happen." She said. Mr. Mazaki grinned and opened his car door and shut it. Anzu watched as the car purred to life and the window rolled down.

"Have a nice trip, Anzu!"

"Bye, Dad! Have good business trip."

"Don't remind me." He snapped, but the sting was taken by the laughing smile on his face. When the car was gone Anzu rushed in to her house, made sure everything was there and locked down before she moved her bags into the very back of the truck to maximize the room. In one of the bags was several carefully wrapped bottles of alcohol to make several shot drinks.

She locked the front door and got into the huge truck and turned the key, making the monster roar to life. She had to scoot the seat up just a little bit, she may have been tall but she fit in cars better than trucks, but she could drive them, her dad had made sure of it. Backing up, she took one last glimpse of her house before gently pressing the gas petal, moving the truck along at the speed limit. First stop, the Game Shop!

After a few left and right turns down some streets she came upon a small little shop that had yellow walls and a green roof. Splashes of blues and reds along with two doors, one lead to the shop, the other was the main entrance of the house. What made the doors stand apart was that above one was a pyramid with an eye in it. She had no idea what it meant but she probably took a guess that it had something to do with the Millennium Puzzle, maybe, she didn't really know nor was she willing to ask. Anzu pulled the truck up carefully next to the Game Shop, parked, and pulled out her phone. She dialed Yugi's number, waited . . .

"Hello?"

"Yugi! You and your 'bro' ready?" she asked.

"Yes! Atem is almost ready, he isn't sure if he should bring sunscreen or not." The teen laughed. Anzu heard a deep voice that was obviously whining about not wanting to be burned.

"Yeah, just tell him to bring it. Joey and Tristan will need it a lot considering they don't believe in sunscreen." She laughed. "Do you guys need any help?"

"No, we got it. See you in a few seconds." Yugi said and quickly hung up. Anzu got out and opened the top that covered the top of the bed and then opened the bed door. She heard a 'bye grandpa', a few thumps and from out the door came out two of her friends.

Both had spiky black hair tipped with violet and blond bangs that framed their face. The only difference was that Atem had more blond bangs than Yugi. Now a senior, Yugi had grown up quite a bit. He lost the innocent look in his eyes, but there was still a hint to them. Yugi had also grown; his forehead was now to Atem's chin, his body slightly more defined. Atem had also grown, he was looking more and more like a man now, he was two inches taller than her now, and his other features simply more defined. She smiled. "Got everything?"

Atem nodded. "Yes. We brought the drinks."

"You guys are too kind." She said and pulled the almost full cooler towards her and opened the top. While Yugi pushed their week supply of clothes for the week into the back of the bed where Anzu had her stuff, Anzu and Atem packed the sodas, bottled waters, and blue and light blue Gatorades(1), Atem and Yugi's favorite among the Gatorade collection of flavors.

Once that was done, they repacked the cooler, closed up the bed, leaving Anzu to lock up the cover before getting back into the driver's seat and headed over to Tristan's place where the two idiots were waiting with the supposedly large food supplies they promised.

To the three teens' surprise, they kept their promise and brought a cooler that could fit on someone's lap. Anzu got out, opened the bed once more, packed, and then locked up once more before handing Joey the keys. "Drive safely Wheeler. This is my Dad's truck."

Joey gave her a salute as she climbed into the back where the two Mutou brothers were. "So what did you guys pack?" she asked once buckled up. Tristan looked over his shoulder, smiling.

"Lots of sandwiches, chips, a few muffins Serenity made." Yugi was already digging around in the smallish cooler with wide eyes.

"Wow, I'm surprised you guys could fit all of this in here."

Joey snorted. "Yeah right, Tristan is holden the other cooler we had to pack. When Serenity heard that it was going to be a seven hour trip she went all out to try and put enough in for everybody, she made us both," he elbowed Tristan roughly. "Promise not to eat it all, right Tristan?"

They watched as Tristan nodded quickly. Yugi, Anzu, and Atem shared grins with one another. Joey had told them about how he was now manipulating Tristan when it came to his sister. Turns out Joey Wheeler did have a thinker somewhere in the big head of his.

Once they hit the highway Joey fell silent, which was one of the reasons why Mr. Mazaki let Anzu take the truck, though Joey acted like a goofball, but when it came to the safety of his friends and those in the car or truck he was driving, he was very serious. Anzu had brought out her laptop portable table, which was basically a flat surface sewed onto a beanbag pillow, and asked Atem if he could give a few dueling lessons.

Yugi looked over Atem's shoulder, pointing out something that the former Pharaoh may have accidentally skipped over. Anzu had brought her own deck and listened intently. She wasn't as great as they were, considering they were the King and Prince of Games but at least she could put up a fighting chance. Besides, it passed the time quite a bit.

"So, Atem, you excited?" she asked innocently as she and Yugi quickly shared a grin. Atem shrugged.

"I guess so, but I don't understand why it's such a big deal, this Spring Break."

Anzu grinned. "Well . . ." she paused and thought how to make it simpler for him. "You had a lot of lessons when you were little, right?"

Atem made a face. "Yes, but those lessons were important."

Anzu rolled her eyes. "I'm sure they were but didn't you get tired of them, day in and day out?" she pointed out. Atem frowned.

"Well yes . . ."

"Now imagine that you could get an entire week free from those lessons."

He blinked. "Oh." Yugi laughed and patted the Pharaoh on the back.

"Yeah, and best of all, no parent supervision." He said, singing out the last word. Anzu grinned.

"What did you managed to get?" she asked.

"I managed to get beer like Joey and Tristan." Anzu's brows rose up.

"Well, good thing I thought ahead with my stash."

Joey groaned. "Please tell me you got the stuff to make those money bites you made last Christmas."

Anzu laughed. "Have no fear, Joey, I got all the stuff."

"How'd you do it?" Tristan asked.

"When you have a parent who still remembers what it was like to be a teenager on Spring Break you get a lot of cool stuff, Tristan. I also made a deal with him that I would record you and Joey totally, one hundred percent, shit-faced."

Tristan pouted while Joey grinned. "Not cool." He muttered.

"Besides, he wanted to come too but his job told him otherwise." She pointed out. Joey frowned.

"That sucks."

"Anzu." Yugi giggled. She looked over to see her childhood friend holding in his laughter, his shoulders shaking with effort to hold it all in.

"What?" she asked, faintly confused. He pointed down.

She blinked and looked down, blinked again. When the hell did Atem play Slifer the Sky Dragon?! "What the fuck?!" Yugi burst out laughing, not even bothering to hold it all in anymore while Atem smiled, slightly bashful as he went back and explained his move.

Anzu, defeated, crossed her arms and pouted. "I thought you didn't use the God Cards on beginners like me." She said, glaring, without the heat, at the former Pharaoh.

Atem grinned. "You are far from a beginner, Anzu. Besides, I haven't allowed Joey the honor of dueling me when I have the god cards in my dueling deck."

She rolled her eyes. "Yeah, he still went up against Ra though, not to mention if he hadn't fallen on his face he would have won."

"Shut up." Joey muttered.

"What're going to do to me if I don't?" she challenged him. Joey remained silent, not even bothering to use the, I'll-leave-you-on-the-side-of-the-road threat because he knew that if her Dad found out, Joey's ass would be hanging over their fireplace by the end of Spring Break or whenever she got to a phone.

Atem tisked. "Stop belittling yourself, Anzu. You almost had me beat in this game."

"Yeah, almost is not the same as, 'I beat you'." She pointed out before sighing dramatically. "I guess I'll have to work my butt off until I finally wear your invisible crown and be called, 'The Queen of Games'!" Yugi smiled slyly.

"I know another way you could get that title."

"How?" Atem asked, not really sure he liked the idea of having to share his title. He had his pride.

Anzu glared as a light blush flushed across her face. 'Little imp.' "No one is interested in knowing another way." She snapped. Yugi continued to grin, not at all fazed by his friend's tone of voice. Now dating Rebecca, he could see Atem's feelings for Anzu and was quite determined to put them together. He wished he could tell Joey and Tristan but they had a tendency to spit things out when asking for mercy from Anzu, specifically when she was hanging some kind of important bribe over their heads, like their many porn tapes.

So when this Spring Break opportunity came up he took it. All it took was tipping the glass a little too much and a little too fast to get the perfect moment, besides, he wanted to see what a drunken Atem was like.

Hours into the trip, Joey pulled into a gas station to fill up while everyone else got out to stretch about and buy a few things. Once refilled, things that were wanted were bought, they were on their way once again. Only minutes in, Anzu and Atem had taken a break with the dueling lesson so they could play the ABC Game. "What's the ABC Game?" Atem asked, slightly curious. Tristan smirked as he turned to face the Pharaoh.

"You know the alphabet, right?"

"Who doesn't?" Atem said, slightly annoyed.

"Well, for example, you start with A and you work your way to Z." he pointed to a road sign that indicated food for the next exit. "You see a word that begins with an A, and say, 'A, All Day Fish', get it?"

Atem blinked before he nodded. "Alright."

Once the rules were explained they waited for a groups of signs to come up. Anzu was the first to get her bit in. "A, Apple Barrel!" Tristan cursed loudly while Yugi got his A. Atem, once they were in a few letters, quickly picked up on the game, catching up to the others. Anzu was on J, Yugi was on G, Tristan was on H, and Atem was on I. Anzu quickly peeked over at Atem and giggled. "Maybe I'll beat you, Atem." She teased, making the former Pharaoh look over at her.

"What?"

"J, Jackie's Bar!" she said excitedly. Atem blinked and realized quickly that she had openly challenged him. He smirked and looked back at the road.

"We'll see about that Anzu." He said. They went at it for hours, there were moments when Tristan would pass everyone but despite being in the backseats, Anzu, Yugi, and Atem would always catch up and pass, leaving the poor guy in the dust. Then, to everyone's horror, the game stalled on one letter. Q.

That horrible, damnable, letter that no one would use in the names of their businesses. Yugi groaned. "That's so freaking unfair! We passed a Z!"

Anzu sighed and leaned back a little bit. "It's no use." She said, sounding defeated when in reality she was watching the road very closely. Yugi buried his face into the pillow he brought along and muttered sentences like, 'Stupid letter,' or 'What's wrong with using Q?' Atem, still new to the game, relaxed slightly, before looking down to ruffle Yugi's hair.

Anzu took this chance to look up at a large group of billboards. Oh hell yeah . . . "Q, Grandma's Quilts!" Tristan sat up and pressed his face against the glass like Yugi and Atem.

"You have got to be shitting me?!" Tristan growled. "Just when I relax you have to appear. Seriously!" Tristan cursed a little more while Yugi promptly glared at Anzu along with Atem.

"You used your Defeated Strategy, so not cool." He pouted.

Anzu grinned. "Don't be a hypocrite, Yugi. You and Atem are the Prince and King of Games." She grinned. Now with the game even more tense then ever, everyone with the exception of Joey, was leaning forward. "R, Robert's Chop Shop, S, Stop." She grinned, knowing she could practically hear the boys grinding their teeth together.

By a sheer miracle, they caught up again, but Anzu was on Z, while Atem on Y. "Y, YellowJackets!" Atem snapped. Anzu cursed and sat all the way forward.

"Sorry Joey." She muttered.

He quickly flashed her a smile before looking back at the road. Atem and Anzu were now going head on and then . . .

"Zulu's Surf Shop!" Atem and Anzu said together before they glared at one another. Tristan and Yugi 'Oooed' loudly while Joey's shoulders were shaking noticeable. Anzu had never lost at the ABC Game, even to Yugi! Wait . . . surf shop?

"We're close to the ocean already?!" she squeaked, the tied ABC Game forgotten.

Joey smirked. "You guys were going after those letters for hours. I guess it's true when they say when you're having fun, time flies."

"How far away are we exactly?" Yugi asked excitedly. Tristan pressed a few buttons before answering.

"We're only forty minutes away!"

Cheering ensued while Joey pulled through the drive though of burger joint, grabbed some burgers, and drove on. The truck was now humming with excitement, even Atem was smiling slightly. As they drove closer and closer, windows were rolled down to let in the salty sea air. Anzu watched as the palm trees increased and the white sand on the ground increased.

Then regular houses gave way to houses that were raised up off the ground just in case for huge waves and storms. "So, Anzu, what did you say what the road was?" Joey asked. Anzu hummed as she pulled out the sheet.

"Says Buchanan Ct. E." she said.

"Ah, fuck," he muttered and stamped on the break. Yugi's face was nearly implanted into the seat in front of him, Atem pressed himself against the backseat as much as he could while Anzu held onto the handle above the window. "Sorry guys." He said and backed up quickly to the street they had passed and turned into it.

Anzu turned to the picture of the house and as Joey drove slowly down the road while Anzu quickly analyzed each beach house. They had come to the end when Anzu spotted it. Small, raised up, with a nice sized deck and a small room bellow. "There, the second last one to the left." Joey nodded and pulled in. Everyone got out, the sun was setting now, lighting up the front of the house. White with faded red shutters that now looked pink.

Anzu pulled out the key that had been mailed to her and walked under the place, up the stairs to the deck above. Sturdy, though the wood was faded slightly unlike the deck of the house that was being rebuilt across from their place. She unlocked the door, though with difficulty, and pushed the door open.

With her friends behind her, they all walked in to a small but just big enough living room. There were three couches, one sat to their right with a end table at the left arm. The other two sat opposite of one another against the walls, both ends having small tables, each having lamps on them, though all were different. The kitchen, Joey and Tristan's favorite place, was a nice sized placed. Walking in, Anzu immediately noted the really ugly pink that was only around the cabinets. The large square archway that connected the living room to the kitchen was painted in a neutral cream like the living room. Above the archway was two large plastic fishes. The top of the archway was eight squares divided into two triangles. On the bottom right triangles were glass fishes with more tiny fishes.

She loved it.

Just enough room for all of them. She peeked into the master bedroom, it had a door the slid open. "Mine!"

"What!" Joey said. "Why do you get that room?!"

Anzu walked over to the other room with two sets of bunk beds. "Because you all are boys and with the beach close by, I'll be changing a lot."

Atem laughed as he and Yugi slipped into the room, Atem grabbing top bunk leaving Yugi to pout and take the bottom bunk. Joey and Tristan didn't wait any longer and bolted to gain the beds. Tristan caught the top while Joey victoriously claimed the bottom.

With beds now decided after some whines and bickering they all went out to unpack. Anzu, Atem, Yugi were pulling in the bags while Joey and Tristan moved the heavy stuff. Once everything was out and into the house Anzu walked back out to the truck and made sure it was all cleaned out of everything, including the alcohol. Once she was sure it was clean, she locked it up and headed back up. The horizon was ablaze, burgers ready and waiting to be eaten, and they were all ready for tomorrow.

"I got a feeling." She grinned, walking into the beach house.

So what do you guys think? Great start, no, yes? Tells me please! :D

(1) I don't own Gatorade btw. (I don't wanna get sued...)

The seven hour trip that was only maybe about three hundred words or something, seriously, how was I going to describe seven hours? Do you know how horrible that would have been and boring? I wouldn't know what the crap to write to make interesting for you guys so I put in the ABC Game. I actually play this game while going on long trips with my family and it can get pretty intense along the way. (I made my mom put some soft music on, put my bro to sleep instantly. *evil smile*)

Day one is complete, what's next I wonder? Oh well, I guess that's for everyone to find out. :)

Thank you for reading!
