"Overdoing the Friendship Speeches"
Chapter 4: The End
Behind the scenes, the boys were laughing as they rewatched the episode they had just filmed, fist-bumping each other when the 'moment of truth' came. Tea had virtually screwed them over by leaving them to write a friendship speech at the last minute but they had showed her!
"We totally showed, Tea!" Tristen said. "Bet she's not going to leave the speech writing to us ever again."
"Yeah, but that was still ffffing awesome!" Yugi cheered.
Joey swatted him across the head. "Don't say that word. It's bad!"
"But you say it all the time?"
"Yeah, but it's cooler when I say it," Joey flexed his sorry-excuse for muscles under his elastic tight leather bodysuit which shoved off his . . . . finer qualities.
"So, what are we gonna do now?" Tristen asked ignoring Joey's pitiful figure because it burned his eyes.
"How 'bout we go to the park and get some ice cream?" Yugi suggested. "And then later you guys can take turns pushing me on the swings!"
Tristen and Joey exchanged awkward glances then simultaneously shivered. "Yugi, buddy," he paused about to insult his co-star for the several-ith time but decided on a better, and crueler, alternative. "That's a great idea!" Joey's jaw dropped off his face. "Why don't you go down to the park and Joey and I will meet you there after we change out of these clothes?" Joey began to bang his head against a table.
Yugi took no notice of Joey's antics. Tears of joy were welling up out of his eyes and Tristen backed away slowly. "You really mean it?" Yugi asked.
Tristen held up his hands. "Yeah, sure, Yugi. Now go head down to the park and find an ice cream stand or something."
Yugi couldn't contain his joy. He squealed loudly, like a Gackt fan girl, and pounced on Tristen to hug him regardless of his hands being up. "I wuv you guys!"
"Greeeeeeat! Now get off me!" Yugi got off of Tristen who calmly brushed himself off. "Ahem, so see you in ten minutes?" Yugi nodded his head like a loyal lap dog and bounded off in the direction of the door.
Joey sat up with several red welts across his forehead and looked at Tristen. "Now, was that really worth it?"
"Of course! It'll give us some time away from him," Tristen said. "I wonder how long it'll take him to realize that we set him up?"
"Oh! So that's what you were planning," Joey mused finally getting it.
"Right you are, Captain Obvious."
"Cool." They sat in a silence that sustained for little over an hour. "So now what?"
Suddenly, a brick wall came tumbling down sending loose bricks and mortar flying everywhere. Joey and Tristen dove over the television they had been watching and peered over the top to see what had taken the wall down. They hadn't realized that the studio was going to be under construction.
When the dust settled, Tea stood amongst the destruction, hair disheveled, muscles bulging, and covered with nothing more than a towel.
"Oh, hey, Tea!" Tristen greeted with a wave. "How was Miami?"
Tea growled and threw off her towel. The boys gasped but since this is anime, Tea appeared to be wearing a sailor uniform she had stolen from one of the Sailor Scout characters next door to the Pokemon studio. Both boys breathed a sigh of relief, having been spared from an emotional scar that they would have been forced to carry with them for the rest of their lives, that no amount of therapy would have ever been able to fix, that would have caused horrific nightmares, that would . . . .
"Some people may think I'm a skank but I do have a sense of decency!" Tea declared.
"That's nice to know!" Tristen said. "Would have been nice if you had told us that before you had flung off the towel."
Tea glared at him. "I have a bone to pick with you guys." She paused and counted by pointing to each one of them. "Where's the midget?"
"He, uh, went to the park," Joey said. Tristen smacked him across the head and stood up. "We tried to stop him, Tea. We honestly tried, but he was like a craze animal!"
"What?" Tea asked perturbed. Yugi was a little freak with two-tone, pointy hair and a low self-esteem problem. He was easily taken advantage of and wasn't that hard to handle.
"Oh God! It was awful!" Joey stumbled out from behind the television with his hand thrown up to his forehead. "It was so bad; I can't even remember what he did!" He jabbed Tristen in the side to continue.
"Oh yeah, um!" Tristen started to produce fake tears for effect. "He started ranting and raving about the speech and how he was in control and how we were his. . . his. . ." Tristen sniffed after each pause.
"It's okay, buddy. Take it at your own pace," Joey consoled him patting him on the back.
"HIS BEOTCHES!" Tristen wailed. Tea visibly twitched. "I was so afraid. He said if we didn't do what he told us to do then he. . .he. . .he." He couldn't go on.
"He'd bring out the whip and spurs," Joey said matter-of-factly.
"THE WHIP AND SPURS!" Tristen screamed wide-eyed. "Don't let him get me, Joey! Don't let him get me!!"
Tea crossed her arms in front of the king-sized bow that was custom on every Sailor Scout's uniform. "So, what you're trying to tell me is that the moment after I left, Yugi, our wimpass, little Yugi, went all S&M culture on you guys and beat you into submission?"
"Hells yes! Where do you think these came from?" Joey asked pointing to the welts on his forehead.
"And why do you think he's wearing that outfit?" Tristen mumbled dropping out of the character of the raped and molested for a moment.
Tea had been trying not to make eye contact with Joey the entire time but at the mention of his outfit, her retinas were instantly burned out of her eyes. Luckily, she had a spare in her brassiere which she pulled out and shoved into her eyes. "Now tell me why I shouldn't BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF YOU GUYS!!" She screamed but she contained herself and went on. "For writing that HORRENDOUS friendship speech?"
"Yugi did it." Joey quickly said.
"Yeah, he thought it would be cool to cuss each other out," Tristen asked. "And if we didn't," he nodded to Joey's attire. "That was going to happen."
Tea raised an eyebrow. "So why aren't you in tears?" she asked Joey suspiciously.
"I've been beat so far into submission," Joey said in a monotonous voice. "Quietly I am contemplating suicide."
"Good, that will make my job easier," Tea replied skipping over any form of consolation.
"So, aren't you going to do anything about, Yugi?" Tristen asked carefully.
"No, why should I. He just beat me to what I was planning on doing to you." Joey and Tristen suddenly became very fearful for their lives, more so than they were used to. "And I think I still need to teach you two a lesson." She slowly started to stalk towards them.
"Uh, look, Tea. You really don't want to do that," Joey said with sweat pouring down his face.
"And why wouldn't I?" Tea asked cynically. She was enjoying this.
"Because Yugi has been posting lemon fanfictions of you and him on the internet," Tristen piped up. The entire room became silent except for the sound of Tea's jaw hitting the floor.
"He has?" Joey asked. "I didn't know that! Where?" Tristen thoughtlessly punched him in the face.
Tea began to twitch violently. "Are. . .you. . . .serious?"
"Uh-huh," Tristen said fearful of what her result reaction would be.
Tea straightened up, pick her jaw up off the floor and turned around. She stomped off towards the door, leaving crater size indentions in the floor as she went and slammed the door.
"Oh, dude! That was close!" Joey said holding his jaw.
"What do you say we take a vacation?" Tristen asked. "Both of us just get far, far away."
Joey stared at him, completely baffled. "Dude, don't do that. You're beginning to sound like Yugi."
They heard a chorus of pops like knuckles and various joints crackling very, very loudly.
Joey turned back to Tristen. "Yeah, sure, whatever, Let's go, go GO!"

Yugi sat on a bench at the park busily licking away at his fifth ice cream cone, oblivious to the black cloud that had settled over the park. The small children were abandoning their toys in the sand and fleeing to their mothers while picnic goers packed up their baskets and ran with an Olympic track runner's speed. Something wicked was coming their way.
Yugi continued to happily eat away at his ice cream cone every so often checking his watch for the time. Joey and Tristen should have been here by now.
Something thudded down next to him and he looked up to see Tea wearing one of those sexy Sailor outfits. Funny, it looked exactly like the ones the Sailor Scouts wore right next to their studio. Instantly, all his pubescent fantasies came rushing to him and he blushed. This was like a dream come true.
Tea pulled out a black whip but to her surprise and disgust instead of cowering in fear, Yugi smiled brightly.
A dream come true!
The End.
BlueDragonGirl1: So that's it. OFS is finally completed. Hope you enjoyed it. This chapter was a bit random because I wrote it off the cuff without a plan. But off course the other chapters were written without much of a plan either. R&R!! (And don't forget to read the other Yu-Gi-Oh fic "Merry Naked Christmas").
