Chapter 1.

"He better be awake." Tea was walking with a book bag in her hands. Walking to the game shop to get Yugi come to school with her.

She finally got to the game shop and saw Yugi's grandpa outside with a broom in his hands.

"Hello, Mr. Motou!" Tea smiled.

"Oh, hi there, Tea. Yugi is upstairs." He smiled

"Thank you!" Tea winked and went inside.

Grandpa slightly blushed at Tea's wink.

Tea went upstairs to Yugi's room, but stopped by the door, behind a wall to hear what Yugi's doing.

"I wish you could be with us...Yes, but I..." Yugi was talking nervously.

'Is he on the phone?' Tea thought at first.

"But I want you to be here like an ordinary person. I want you to enjoy it..." Yugi stood on a soccer ball trying to balance while talking.

"Yugi, what are you talking about!" Tea finally exclaimed.

Yugi was surprised Tea was there, lost his balance and fell.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Tea ran to Yugi and helped him up. "You okay?"

Yugi laughed a little, "Yup, I'm okay. I was talking to spirit about my birthday..." Yugi's face turned sad.

"Ah...You really wish he participated...Right?" Tea looked at Yugi sadly.

Yugi nodded sadly. "Yeah...He said he'll be with us...but I'll be the only one who could see him... Plus, he can't do anything fun but watch us..."

"Oh, don't worry, Yugi. We'll make something up about it." Tea smiled, trying to cheer Yugi up.

Yugi smiled and nodded, and they walked out of the room.

On the way to school, they noticed Joey and Tristan catch up to them

"Hey there, Joey, Tristan." Yugi smiled.

They continued walking as they saw Kaiba's limousine pass by. They all saw Kaiba through the window, ignoring them. In 15 seconds, the limousine was already by the school.

"Gah! How do you like that! He could have given us a ride!" Joey said angrily.

"Say whatever you want, Joey, but I don't think Kaiba would ever do something like giving us a ride." Tristan added.

Yugi signed, "He could have at least been nicer, since my birthday is coming..."

"So Yugi, who are you inviting?" Tea sat by Yugi with her lunch.

"Well, I'll invite: You, Tristan, Bakura, Joey, probably Marik, Duke, Serenity, Kaiba if he agrees, Mokuba, and Ishizu...I think that's all."

"Ah, how rude." Mai sat on the other side of bench, by Yugi. "Now since when did you start dissing me?"

"Oh, uh..Mai? Heh...I didn't know you went to this school. Heheheh..." Yugi blushed. He was looking at Mai's cute body. He was too busy looking; he forgot he had juice in his hand, so he accidentally poured it on Tea's lap.

"Uh...Yugi?" Tea looked annoyed.

"Of'course you can come, Mai! I'm..I'm sorry...I kind of forgot about you." Yugi tried putting his hands behind his neck, and accidentally hit Tea with his elbow.

Tea started getting mad. "Yugi..."

"Oh, look. Our little Tea is jealous." Mai teased.

Yugi then snapped out and looked at Tea. "Oh my... Tea, why is there juice all over your legs?"

Tea was going to say something, but Yugi cut her out. "I forgot, I have to give out the invitation cards!" Yugi got out his birthday invitations.

"Here, Tea, here, Mai." He then stood up and started looking for Joey, Tristan. Bakura, and others.

"Big attitude..." Tea growled.

"Oh, Tea. Please. Stop being jealous. He's so much shorter than you are. And you like him. Isn?t that just weird?"

"OH, SHUT UP, MAI!" Tea yelled that out so loud, everyone in cafeteria stared at her. "What! She pissed me off!" Tea walked away with a red face.

"Gee...she's one angry girl..." Mai sighed.

"Here, Tristan. Take one for yourself, and one for Joey. Where is Joey?" Yugi looked around.

"Oh, he went to get more food...He can never stop eating." Tristan continued eating.

Yugi laughed a little. "Okay then." He went to give out the invitation to Kaiba and Bakura.

"Yugi, you know I'm busy. I have no time for parties."

"But Kaiba...it happens only once a year."

"Hm.." Kaiba took the invitation. "We'll see about that."

Yugi smiled and nodded then started looking for Bakura.

'My birthday is tomorrow night... we better think of SOMETHING to have you participate, Yami.'
