"Whoo-whee! Haheh, two stars! Hmhmhm, this is so awesome, I can't believe it happened! Am I cool or what!? Heheheh!" Joey gleefully saying as he wore a child-like grin while he used his arm to polish the three starchips that he had on his gauntlet. It had Yugi looking at his own to see the same amount as he walked beside his best friend and Jaden walking on the otherside of Joey. "Is there a time limit on how long he gets to crow?" Tea asks with a deadpanned expression. "Cut 'im some slack, Téa. Did you ever think Joey would actually [b]beat[/b] Mai in a duel?" He asks with some enthusiasm. "I mean, [b]Joey[/b]... who would've thought?" Yugi looked back to his two friends that were traveling a little bit behind them. He had a proud and encouraging smile to his features. That proud smile though was from both Yami and Yugi. But yet it was only Yugi and Shadow would know and none of his friends. "[b]I[/b] knew he'd do it! I'm really proud of you, Joey." he said while also turning that sentence toward him. Jaden with a childlike grin to agree. "Same here pal! That was amazing with what you did back there!" "Yeah! It-" However his stomach having other plans and that was by interupting him. "Ugh, all that duelin' made me hungry! Did any of you guys remember to bring any food wit'cha?" Joey groaned as he now looked like he was about to fall over if he got no food in his system. The rest looked through their packs and looked ashamed of themselves when they realized that they had nothing that was food related. In unison they spoke while shaking their heads. "Sorry, Joe." "Ugh! What were we thinkin', comin' here wit' no food? How're we ever gonna get through the rest of the competition without anything to eat?" Joey groans aloud while he held his poor neglected stomach that grumbled again. "That's a good question, Joey. This dueling really takes it out of you, and I haven't seen any burger stands or restaurants since we got here." Though wondered if Pegusus ever had thought about that. Probably not. Let them all live off the land and all. He would admit he had never done that before and therefore was a little useless in something like that. "Well, we better do something fast! I've gotta have my five basic food groups, or else... it's metabolic meltdown!!" Tea was honestly beginning to freak out a little. "Hey, chill out, you guys, I got it covered!" Reaching into his pack he pulls out a book. Yugi and the rest look at Tristen as he seemed proud of himself. "Check it out, the Great Outdoor Survival Guide!" Sadly the group didnt look like they are more than enthusiastic about it. "Can we eat it?" Was Joey's question, making them all groan, even Yubel who facepalmed at the question. "Better than that! It lists all the plants, berries, and grasses we can eat!" Tristen proudly explains, earning ewws and yucks from them all. "Do I look like a squirrel, ya big doofus?!" Joey stops a moment within his rant to sniff the air as if something seemed to catch his attention. "I don't need your dumb book anyhow; I smell somethin' cookin' that-a-way! Hah! See yuh!" Before taking off in the direction of which he had caught the smell with Jaden chasing off after him with shouts of wait and hang on being shouted toward him, leaving the other three standing there dumbfounded. Through the trees in that direction, can be seen the sparkling ocean. "He's hallucinating." Tea remarked. "Don't be so sure. Ya know, it wasn't his [b]brain[/b] that beat Mai, it was his [b]nose[/b]. So they went to catch up with the two in hopes they wouldnt get into any trouble.
