ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Thank you to all the great Yu-Gi-Oh! People who read these fics and the great kids at the tvtome site (where I am known as Anime Addict) who encouraged my obsession with the show.
WARNING!
This story contains NO cussing but some character bashing and implied adult humor. Some material may be offensive to Tea/Yugi fans. Although I dearly love Yugi and Co., they are not exactly the brightest crayons in the box, and I sooooo love to make fun of them! Sorry.
DISCLAIMER
If I owned Yu-Gi-Oh and all the perks that came with it, do you think I would be writing about it on this site? Come on!
TEA'S QUESTYou probably know Tea. She is Yugi's sweet, caring, perky friend who cheers him on and constantly assures him that everyone believes in him. Yes, Tea has stood up for Yugi and nurtured him time after time, but Yugi never seems to notice her! Tea wants to be more than a friend, and Yugi just can't seem to take a hint.
She wonders what differences keep them apart. Yugi is gentle and caring, but so is she. Yugi is persistent and brave, but didn't Tea tell off Pegasus and Kaiba for him? She is brave too!
Finally, Tea can only come to one conclusion: she is two feet taller than Yugi! Yes, poor Yugi, destined forever to live the life of a singing midget from Wizard of Oz!
Tea sits on a bench outside her charming little dance studio, Tea thinks and thinks. But she cannot find anyway to make herself shorter besides chopping off her legs, which, she decides, would not be terribly attractive. She absently pictures Yugi marrying some tiny hobbit-person like that horrible little Rebecca, and gasps with horror. Somehow she must make Yugi taller! And with this decision, Tea sets off on her quest.
Mai browses through tube tops at the mall, sneering at their incompetent designs. She is shocked to see Yugi and Tea enter the shoe section at her left.
Yugi: Um, Tea, I really like my sneakers.
Tea: Oh Yugi! You really should try something new. Haven't you ever noticed how cool Yami looks in his boots?
Yugi: I guess…
Tea: And look at this pair! Aren't they GREAT?
Yugi: Uh, well, those are twenty-inch heels…
Tea: All the better!
Mai: (coming up to them and speaking perkily) Hello Tea. What's up, kiddo?
Tea: (snarling) Shouldn't you be shopping for lingerie, Mai? I think you could use some.
Yugi: (innocently) What do you think of these boots, Mai? And, Tea, what's lingerie?
Mai: Frankly speaking, you would have to be a moron, or at least as fashionably challenged as Pegasus, to buy those ridiculous boots.
Tea: (through clenched teeth) You really should get some new shoes yourself, Mai, with those heels of yours, you might just trip one day ON ACCIDENT and fall off a cliff you be smashed to smithereens, or stumble into traffic and get plastered to a speeding bus or tumble into a tank of ravenous piranhas or…
Mai: Why, look at the time! I'm late for my hair appointment. Stay away from female dogs, Yugi! See ya, kiddo.
(She leaves)
Yugi: But I like dogs! What's wrong with girl dogs, Tea?
Tea: (still recovering from Mai) Grrrrrmph…
Yugi: Um, Tea…I kind of don't think I should get these boots, 'cause I might trip and fall off a cliff, or stumble into traffic or…
Oh dear, Tea's task is much more difficult than she imagined. But our heroine will persevere! She cannot fail!
Next Chapter: Yugi is challenged to a duel! Tea whips up a meal. Kaiba makes phone calls! …okay, I know it doesn't sound that exciting, but you do get to hear Joey tell and lame joke and Yami Bakura plot to enslave the world! …well, at least tell me what you thought of this chapter!
