I've got the gamecube plugged to the laptop right now. Both the red and white audio cables are connected into one that allows me to plug them both to the "Audio-in connector". And I've got the yellow one plugged into another cable which allows me to plug it into the "S-Video In Connector". The gamecube is on, so is the laptop. Now. What is the next step into using my laptop as a monitor, or is there just no way to do it?

Hmmm...
just because you can plug the cable in doesn't mean you should.
I don't think your setup will work because all those ports on a notebook are OUTPUT. I don't know about your model though, so I could be wrong.
In theory, you might be able to do it with an external adapter. I'm not aware of one, but I don't know why not.

95% of the S-Video ports on a laptop are OUTPUT. Are you *sure* you got an "INPUT" port on the laptop there?
If you're *sure* it says INPUT, then you'll need to load video drivers to enable the port, and route the input to the screen. For that, you'll need to ask the laptop maker.

You need this gamebridge.
