Tea was running late, as usual. She groaned looking at her watch. She told the Pharaoh she would meet him at the cafe at eleven and it was almost twelve. "Why?" She groaned as she picked up pace. She turned the corner and saw the cafe, the Pharaoh at the doors waiting. She smiled. "Pharaoh!" She called out, but then put her hand over her mouth. People stared at her when she had called out to him, including the Pharaoh who just smiled and waved to her. Tea ran up to him, hoping people would stop staring. "Sorry about that." She said when she got up to him.

"No that's okay." The Pharaoh chuckled. "I'm glad you made it."

"I am too. I'm always late." Tea sighed.

"It's fine." The Pharaoh put his hand on her shoulder. "Also you can just call me Yugi if you want to."

Tea nodded her head. "No! You're not Yugi, you're you." She smiled. "I don't want to take your identity from you."

"You're too kind, Tea." The Pharaoh opened the door to the cafe and allowed her to enter first.

"Thank you, Pharaoh." She smiled really big and walked in.

Once they were inside the cafe, they sat down, and placed their orders. The Pharaoh ordered a peach tea and a turkey club sandwich while Tea had ordered an iced mocha and a strawberry salad. They sat down with their food in the back of the cafe, where no one could hear them talk. "So what is it you needed to talk about?" Tea asked the Pharaoh as she mixed her salad together.

The Pharaoh took a quick drink. "Yugi's birthday is in three days and I just now figured out what I would like to get him." He smiled really big. "Remember last week I told you guys I was afraid of losing my memories of you all, if I were to regain my past memories?" Tea nodded and listened as he spoke. "Well I was thinking about how to keep memories close and I thought of pictures. I wanted to know if you could take my picture and I would get them in a photo album for Yugi. Like some pictures of just me, me and you all, and other random pictures." He chuckled. "I said pictures too many times."

Tea giggled. "I think that's a great idea. I got a great place we can do it at." She pulled out her phone and began searching for something.

"Where?" The Pharaoh tilted his head curiosity filled his eyes.

"Here!" Tea turned her phone around and showed him a picture of Yugi.

"That's a really good picture of Yugi." He smiled seeing his Aibou have a big grin on his face.

"I figured you would like it. It's at one of our favorite places we go to." Tea put her phone away and smiled. "So when do you want to do it?"

The Pharaoh had just finished his sandwich and placed a napkin on the plate. "I was thinking tomorrow. The sooner the better. We also should make sure Joey and Tristan can make it."

"Yeah I will text them! You can't use Yugi's phone, he will know then." Tea smiled and began to finish her salad.

"Yes, that would spoil the surprise." He chuckled and took another drink of his tea. Thank you, Tea."

Tea and the Pharaoh parted after their lunch and she ran home to get her camera ready for tomorrow's photo shoot. As soon as she got home she began to take her shoes off. "Is that you Tea?" Her mother called out from the kitchen.

"Yep!" She placed her shoes in the corner and slipped her slippers on.

Her mother appeared in front of her, wiping her hands on her apron. Tea's mother was a replica of her, she had brown hair but had some grey showing, her eyes were a grey blue, and had some wrinkles under them. She was the same height as her daughter and you could swear that would be Tea's future self. "How was your date with Yugi?" She winked.

"Mom!" She moaned. "It wasn't a date." She huffed and head towards the stairs.

"Oh really?" She smirked. "I would say lunch and a boy by yourself is counted as a date."

"It wasn't a date." Tea was red in the face from embarrassment and headed up the stairs quickly.

"Whatever you say sweetie." Her mom called up as she went back to the kitchen.

Tea groaned and closed her door. "It wasn't." She sighed. "a date with Yugi." She smiled. "Besides the Pharaoh doesn't even like me in that way." She walked over to her computer and turned it on, she also picked up her phone and sent a message to Joey and Tristan.

Hey guys the Pharaoh wants us to meet at the park tomorrow around 11ish. You gotta come dressed nice, but not like fancy. We will be taking pictures so please smile.

She placed her phone down and began to clean out her SD card. "Man I didn't realize I had this many pictures on it." A few minutes had passed and she spotted the picture of Yugi she had shown the Pharaoh. She smiled really big and opened up her photoshop, an idea had just came to her.

The next day Tea was at the park, she stood right next to the tree where the picture of Yugi had been taken. She was taking some pictures and adjusting her camera's settings. "Hey!" Joey called out. He was wearing some blue jeans, a light blue t-shirt, and a light tan colored jacket, and he had combed his hair back slightly. Tristan was right behind him and he was wearing black jeans, a white t-shirt, and a olive green jacket, similar to Joey's. His hair spiked up as usual.

"Hey guys!" Tea greeted them. "You look great!"

"Thanks." Tristan pointed at her. "Wow Tea, you look great!"

Tea was wearing a pink and white polka dotted dress, it had white sleeves that went almost to her elbows, and a white bow that wrapped around her waist. She had put a pink ribbon in her hair and had on some white flats instead of tennis shoes. The boys couldn't stop staring and ow! This was the nicest, not overly dressed, thing I had." She blushed.

"Hey everyone!" The Pharaoh ran up to them, he stopped when he reached them, out of breath. "I had trouble finding you all."

"Hey Pharaoh!" Tea smiled.

"Wow you look beautiful." The Pharaoh smiled when he noticed Tea's outfit.

She blushed heavily. "Thank you."

"Why'd you have trouble finding us?" Joey asked putting his arm over the Pharaoh's shoulders.

"I didn't know where exactly the tree was." He tapped his head. "I had to go by my own memory of how to get here. Yugi's only brought me once or twice." The Pharaoh gave a half frown half smirk.

"The Puzzle?" Tristan pointed. "It's gone!"

Everyone looked at the Pharaoh and was surprised, it was actually gone! "Yeah, I told Yugi I was working on his present and he said to just leave it home, so he didn't get tempted to look."

"Oh wow! So we got you to ourselves?" Joey smiled big.

"Yeah, pretty much."

"Nice choice of outfit by the way." Tristan smiled pointing at his attire.

The Pharaoh was wearing navy pants, a black shirt, and also wore a grey sleeveless vest over his shirt, and some dark grey shoes to finish the attire. "Thank you! Yugi has too many graphic tees, so I had to throw this together."

"Didn't he wear that when we met Duke?" Tea asked.

"Yes he did." The Pharaoh chuckled.

"Okay, let's get the pictures started. I want to take just a few pictures of you Pharaoh first. I got an idea come to me last night and I really want to make sure they come out perfect." Tea started turning her camera on and looked up at the Pharaoh. "I am going to photoshop you and Yugi in some pictures. So we got to get the angle just right."

"What?" Joey said confused.

"I'm going to have the Pharaoh and Yugi be in a picture, together, got it?" Tea spoke slowly.

"How is that possible?" Joey was still confused.

"It's called photoshop dummy." Tea groaned. "I'm going to take a picture of Yugi and take a picture of the Pharaoh and combine them together. If done right it will look like the picture was taken with them both together instead of apart."

"Wow Tea! You can do that?" The Pharaoh smiled really big. "It's impossible for me and Yugi to be in a picture together."

"Yeah I can, but I got to get the angles right so can you come over here so I can start snapping." She smiled and pointed over to a spot near the tree. "I have the picture of Yugi right here." She pulled the photo out of her purse. "Okay. Move to the left a little, and back." She stared at the picture and then picked her camera up, she looked at the Pharaoh for a few moments through the lens. "One more time take a step back, perfect! Say cheese!" Tea began to snap a few pictures when the Pharaoh smiled. He posed a couple times and tried his best not to feel awkward. "Okay now I want you to 'wrap' your arm around like you would be linking your arm with Yugi's." Tea showed him what she meant.

"Uhm, okay." The Pharaoh copied her actions.

"Okay now smile, pretend Yugi said something funny." The Pharaoh smiled. "No no, like really really funny. That'll work." She took a couple more photos and put the camera down to look at the photos. "Not bad if I do say so myself."

The Pharaoh just smiled at her, he couldn't help but feel so grateful to her. He knew she had a crush on him, he felt horrible when he couldn't return the feeling, but his heart belonged to someone else, even if that person would never know. Tea had started taking pictures of everyone else, she made sure she got a picture of the Pharaoh with everyone before she set up her camera to take a picture of them all.

They all decided to head back to Tea's house to look at the pictures. "Are you sure you guys don't need anything to drink?" Tea's mom asked at the door. They all nodded. "Okay, if you need anything you know where the kitchen is." She closed the door slightly, she trusted Tea would be safe but still didn't like the idea of three men in her daughter's room with the door closed.

"Okay so let's take a look at what we got." Tea smiled as she opened her SD card on the computer.

"You got a lot!" Tristan said leaning on her desk.

"Yeah, before you guys got there I took some shots of the tree area. I wanted to make sure I had enough room to photoshop." She double clicked on a photo of Joey, Tristan, and the Pharaoh. "This is my favorite! I can't wait to get Yugi in it."

"Make sure not all of them have Yugi in it." The Pharaoh smiled. "I want to make sure that everyone has pictures."

"Oh yes, I know. I think a picture of all four of you though would be great. I would take it with me to New York." She smiled looking at the Pharaoh. That photo was more for her than anyone. The Pharaoh nodded and they all began to watch her photoshop magic.

A couple hours went by and Joey and Tristan left to go get something to eat. The Pharaoh was sitting on Tea's bed, lost in his train of thought. Finally he spoke. "Tea can I ask you for a favor?"

"Yeah, anything." Tea looked over at the Pharaoh and smiled.

"I need you to help me record some videos." He sighed. "Goodbye videos." He looked down at the ground.

"What?" Tea was confused.

"When the time comes, I want to have a video for each of you, to watch when you need to. I want to do this now, while it's in my mind, what I want to say." He looked back up at Tea, tears at the edge of his eyes. "Please."

Tea swallowed the lump in her throat and got up from her chair, she bent down and was face to face with the Pharaoh. "I don't want to say goodbye." She wrapped her arms around his neck and nuzzled into it. Tears falling from her eyes.

The Pharaoh was shocked, his eyes went wide, causing some tears to fall. "I don't want to either." He returned the hug, placing one hand on the back of her head, the other arm went around her back. After a few moments they pulled apart, the Pharaoh placed his hands on Tea's shoulder. "Would you please help me?"

Tea nodded and wiped her eyes. "Yes, let me save the picture I just finished." She stood back up and walked over to her computer.

The Pharaoh followed and looked at the screen, his eyes went wide. "Oh Tea." He was amazed by the picture he saw.

"It's my favorite one." She smiled. The picture was in front of the tree they were at earlier. There in the picture was Yugi, who smiled so big that his eyes had closed, he was just so over joyed. Next to him was the Pharaoh, he was smiling very big that his eyes were also closed, reason being Joey had made a joke at that time. But what the Pharaoh and Tea loved the most was that she was able to interlock their arms together, Yugi's left and the Pharaoh's right arms were around each other. The picture looked like it was taken just that way, no editing needed.

"I love it." The Pharaoh smiled. "For sure my favorite as well."

Tea smiled and saved the pictured. She closed out of her laptop and smiled. "I got one more to photoshop and then I will print them out. I will also get a photo album, it's the least I can do."

"No you don't have to, I have the money." The Pharaoh went to reach for Yugi's wallet.

"You do?" Tea titled her head.

"Yeah. You see whenever we win a tournament, we ended up with cash prizes. Like with Duelist Kingdom and Battle City, also the little ones Yugi has done on his own for the game shop." He smiled. "At first I told him I wasn't going to use it, but he said he didn't have means for it. So if I ever needed anything, just use his bank card." He pulled out the wallet and pulled out a card. "See?" He smiled.

"Oh wow! That's so cool! I kinda wish I had that." Tea giggled, she was an only child and even though the Pharaoh's relationship with Yugi wasn't brotherly, it sure was nice of them to share things like that.

"Yeah. I have used it like three times. Once for a snack, a couple cards, and when Yugi and I went and saw a movie. I get in for free of course." The Pharaoh winked. "So please let met pay for it."

Tea nodded. "Photo albums are just a couple bucks, no need to worry about it." She stood up and walked over to her camera and began to set it up. The Pharaoh took it as the end of the conversation, he sighed and put the card and wallet back in his pocket. "Okay so I guess you can sit wherever you like."

"The bed works." The Pharaoh walked over to the bed and sat down. He waited till Tea had everything set up. "Tea, I think I'll do your video first."

"My video?" Tea asked surprised.

"Yes. I am making one for each of you." The Pharaoh sighed. "If you don't mind, could you please step out of the room. I don't think I will be able to say anything if the both of us are crying."

Tea sighed. "You got a point. Okay, I think I'll take my laptop and finish the pictures. Then I can print them." With that she closed the door and left the Pharaoh to record.

"I can do this." The Pharaoh sighed and pressed the button Tea had pointed to. He saw a red light come on and knew it was recording. "Hey Tea." He sighed and than smiled.

Tea had just finished printing out the pictures for the Pharaoh when her mom walked in. "Hey honey, where is Yugi?" She asked.

"Oh he is in my room, he needed to record something." Tea answered not noticing her mom was over her shoulders.

She noticed that Tea had the picture of all four boys together. "I didn't know Yugi had a brother!" She noted startling Tea.

"Mom." Tea put the bundle of pictures close to her chest. "You scared me." She turned and looked at her mom who was giggling.

"I am sorry sweetie. How come you never told me Yugi had a brother?" She asked curiosity filling her by the moment.

"He doesn't. Yugi's an only child like me." Tea said quickly.

"Then who is that guy in the picture with them?"

"That's not his brother. He's just a really good friend of ours."

Tea's mom rose an eyebrow. "He looks just like Yugi."

"Yeah I know, isn't that crazy." The Pharaoh spoke from the doorway.

"Oh hey you!" Tea said trying not to say the wrong thing.

"Hi there Mrs. Gardner." The Pharaoh walked over to Tea and her mother.

"You're not Yugi, your his friend, correct?" Tea's mom crossed her arms over her chest and gave him a questioning look. She trusted a stranger alone in her daughter's room, with her daughter. Never once had she met the man to begin with.

"Yes. My name is Yami." He held out his hand and smiled. "It's a pleasure to meet you. Tea and Yugi have told me so much about you. I heard you cook one of the best Christmas dinners around."

"Oh." Tea's mom unfolded her arms. "Why thank you Yami. It's nice to meet you as well." She shook his hand. "How long have you known my daughter and the rest of the gang?"

"About a year, but I do so much traveling, that's how we met, that I don't get a chance to just relax. I finally am able to spend some time in Japan before returning home for a while." The Pharaoh smiled, he was actually surprised she bought the whole story. Tea was too.

"Well Yami, welcome to Japan and I hope you enjoy your visit. Don't you ever feel like a stranger, you are more than welcome to come by anytime." She smiled and let go of his hand, with that she walked back into the kitchen to start dinner.

"Yami?" Tea asked softly.

The Pharaoh chuckled. "It's a name Yugi gave me a couple years ago, he doesn't use it anymore, but it came back to me when she asked." He shrugged his shoulders and noticed the pictures in her hands. "You printed them all already?"

Tea smiled. "Yeah I did." She looked at the Pharaoh and noticed how tired his eyes were. "Oh Pharaoh. You cried a lot didn't you?"

"I did, but I needed to say what I said. Tea when you get that one long video into the four short videos they are, could you let me know."

"Of course!"

"I must be getting home now, Yugi is probably worried and I hated that I stayed away so long. But thank you Tea, I appreciate all that you have done today for me and for Yugi." The Pharaoh walked to the door with Tea and just before he left he leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, causing the brunette to blush. "Thanks again." He smiled and left.

"You're welcome." Tea said softly as she put her hand on her cheek where the Pharaoh had kissed.

"Yay you're home!" Yugi smiled really big when the Pharaoh walked into his room.

The Pharaoh chuckled. "Yes I am. I'm sorry it took so long, I had so much that needed to get done."

"Was it fun? Ya know, planning my birthday and all." Yugi was excited and was trying to hold back the excitement.

The Pharaoh picked up the puzzle off the desk and smiled. "It wasn't fun, more than it was, entertaining to say the least." With that he switched with Yugi and than appeared next to his side. "There ya go."

Yugi stretched. "Ah! I'm starving!" Yugi laughed when he heard his stomach growl.

"Yeah I didn't really eat much, had a lot on my mind." The Pharaoh sighed feeling a tad guilty.

"You wouldn't eat or drink, if it wasn't for me." Yugi chuckled.

"That is very true." The Pharaoh smiled. "Why don't you go get some dinner and I will tell you something really funny that happened today with Tea's mom."

"Oh yeah! I gotta hear this." Yugi ran down to the kitchen and gathered up what his mom had put away for him and came back to his room. Him and the Pharaoh talked about his day alone until his mom had came in and turned the lights out herself.
