The Dreams of A Ballerina
Chapter 1: Long Time No See
Téa sighed from the long, dreary, rainy weather. People have been coming in and out of the building that night, intrigued that Miss Téa Gardner will be appearing. She was excited. The adrenaline rush just shot all over her body. She was very satisfied that she was able to travel to New York and make it this far.
She opened her drawer in attempt to find some accessories to flare her style. While rummaging through the compartment, she accidentally gave herself a cut from a piece of paper sticking out from one of her old clothes.
Téa hissed from the slit on her finger and sucked the blood out. She peered back in the drawer and opened the piece of paper.
It was a photo of her and her friends – Yugi, Joey, Tristan, and Bakura…even Mai gladly agreed to be a part of the picture – four years ago. She smiled, "I miss the gang…"
She slouched on her chair and placed the photo down on the table. Suddenly a small, gentle knock on the door caught her attention.
A girl about her age, wearing a skimpy, yet formal dress appeared. She grinned, "You're up, Téa!"

Joey Wheeler ran as fast as he could, realizing that he was late. He made a bet with Tristan, that if he could make it in time to the Game Shop – where Yugi and his pals are supposed to meet- Tristan would fork over $10. If Joey were to show up late even for a second, he would give Tristan the money.
Huffing and puffing, Joey swung the door open.
"You're late…" Tristan grimaced, spreading out his palm, "Where's the dough?"
"That was a stupid bet! I just woke up this morning, five minutes ago!!!" Joey yelled, waving his fist in Tristan's face.
Yugi sweatdropped, "It's three o'clock in the afternoon Joey."
The blonde boy blushed, "Oh…okay…eheheh."
"What did you do all night?" Bakura asked, leaning on the counter.
Tristan leered, nudging Joey, "Go ahead and tell them, Joey."
They all looked at Joey, who was very embarrassed at the moment. He tried to hide his expression behind the shadows of his hair.
"Tell us, Joey! You're not keeping a secret from us are you?" Yugi smiled.
"Well, if you must know." Tristan began, "Joey's been renting out adult movi-"
Joey quickly interrupted, "U-Uh…Just some good ol' fashioned W-Western movies that's all."
Bakura rolled his eyes, "Western?"
Joey laughed, "Yep! Just some western movies! Those awesome cowboy actions are really sumthin'!"
"Ha! Can't be the kind of 'action' you're interested in!" Tristan mocked.
Joey glared, "Hey, watch it!"
"Anyways…how do you guys want to start the summer? I heard that Kaiba's in New York right now." Yugi told them.
"What?!?! Here I am, bored to my ass, and ol' Moneybags is getting all the good stuff in NY?"
"Isn't Téa doing her dance lessons there?" Bakura asked.
Tristan nodded, "Yeah. It's been years now. I wonder how she's doing. It'd be cool to check up on her and see how she's been progressing."
Yugi's face suddenly lightened, "Good idea, Tristan! Maybe that's what we should do! It's been such a long time since we saw Téa. I'll give her a call tomorrow. I betcha she'll be so excited to us! "
*****
"What?!? T-This week?" Téa stuttered, "Maybe some other time, Yugi...I'd be too busy with…m-my dancing lessons and it'd be rude if I just ignored you guys."
"Nah…don't worry! Plus, we're not gonna be bothering you and you won't even notice that we're there." Yugi replied via the phone.
Téa coiled the telephone cord around her index finger, "I don't know, it's just-"
Yugi sighed, "Is there something wrong? If you're too embarrassed to have us watch you, that's okay…we just-we just really wanted to see you again that's all…"
The brunette felt guilty. She wanted to see her friends again, but the timing wasn't right. Téa didn't want to let her childhood friend down, but she couldn't stand hearing him feel disappointed.
"Fine, I guess you could drop by, but I doubt that you'll see me much!" Téa told him, releasing the cord from her finger.
"Cool! We'll see you on Sunday! Where can we meet you?"
NEW YORK CITY (Central Park)
After a long flight from Domino to New York City, Yugi had decided to meet up with Téa in Central Park. They had waited for three endless hours, waiting impatiently for her. To pass the time, Joey skipped a couple rocks or two in the pond in attempt to hit the ducks swimming by.
"Joey! Don't hit them!" Yugi told him.
"Chill outs, Yug!" he sneered, "They're just ducks!"
"I don't think you're allowed to hit them Joey." Bakura chimed in, "They still respect nature here you know."
Joey paused and shrugged, "You hit ducks, you eat ducks, wut's the diff?"
Everybody sighed.
"Gee, Téa is really taking her time isn't she?" Bakura commented.
"Weeeeell. She is probably busy, why don't we go 'round and go sight seeing. After all, this is New York City." Tristan suggested, folding arms.
Without any hesitation the four boys set off in the big city. They toured endlessly all over New York. From the shopping malls, to the Downtown premises, it was endless sight seeing.
Dusk arrived in the city and the boys paced down the sidewalks, afraid of the 'people' that come out at night.
"This is stupid." Joey pouted, "It's not even that dark yet. Why are we walking waaay too fast?"
"Because…at big cities like these, chaps like us could get jumped at. There are a lot of scary people here in New York." Bakura shuddered a bit.
Joey leered down to him, "Man, Bakura? Are you for real? You sound like a little girl." He stood upright bulged his muscles, "We're men! We're not afraid of anythin'."
"You know, Bakura could be right. We should find a place to stay for the night." Yugi added.
The boys continued to walk, until Joey paused and pointed a building.
"There! Let's stay here for the night."
Yugi cocked an eyebrow, "Joey…this is a strip club…"
"Exactly!" Joey grinned, "C'mon! Let's go in! Fun! Fun! Fun!"
Tristan rubbed his chin, "I have been curious to know what else is going on in there."
Bakura and Yugi waved their hands, saying no.
"Sorry, fellows. We-We're not planning to enter this….er…establishment." Bakura hesitated, about to leave with Yugi.
Tristan and Joey grabbed both teens and pulled them inside the building.
"Relax, you guys. This should be fun! We won't stay long!" Tristan assured.
INSIDE THE "BUILDING"
The flirtatious gigglings, the lusty music, and the fuming smoke and aroma that danced inside, built the environment of the strip club. Everywhere you looked there were girls with short skirts, low tops, or simply girls with NO skirts or NO tops at all.
Yugi blushed, "T-This is weird, you guys! I feel so awkward being here."
"Suck it
up, Yugi!" Joey gave his friend a gentle slap on the back, "Strip clubs are all
manly to me!"
A
young stripper approached Yugi, "Hey, Tiger."
Yugi looked up, his stomach growing queasy, "H-Hey…you…"
The stripper giggled at the young boy in front of her, "You're cute. Hee hee. Would you like to um-"
Yugi shook his head abruptly, "N-no thank you."
The stripper shrugged and looked at Bakura. She winked at the young English boy "I'm watching you."
Bakura blushed crimson red.
Joey hooted, "There goes the ladies' men!"
Tristan laughed, and paused, gaping wide eyed as something caught his attention, "Holy crap, what's Kaiba doing here?!?"
Looking over to a big table, Seto Kaiba was seated amongst six lovely strippers, giggling and tickling him about.
"C'mon ladies one at a time…" he chuckled.
O_O…
"Whoah…" Joey gasped.
They were about to approach Kaiba, but the announcer quickly went stage and announced, "Please, give a warm desire and yearn for the ever so sexy Mademoiselle Lust-acia!"
Joey quickly turned his attention on stage, "Whoohoo! The star stripper!"
The 'sexy' Mademoiselle Lust-acia appeared on stage, shaking her hips about, practically naked. Her see through clothing concealed enough for the horny audiences gawking and drooling over her sexual desires she fumed all over the room.
Yugi squinted his eyes, trying to get a closer look at the star stripper. He felt his stomach drop, his heart flipped, and his mouth was dry. He stuttered, practically screaming at the top of his lungs.
"T-Téa?!?!?!?!"
