Here's a great chapter! YUGI'S DATE WITH TĚA! I like this chapter :)

Date night

Yugi had a melt down last minute. "What if I look dumb!" he exclaimed to the Pharaoh, pacing the room with his hands in his hair. "What if I can't act normal and I just start babbling and spill all my deepest darkest secrets? Then she'll never talk to me again!"

Pharaoh sighed. "Yugi," he started.

"I mean, I know I've known Tea for a long time but if I get nervous, I'll just start talking nonsense and then she might think I'm weird!"

"Yugi—"

"As soon as I try to talk to her I'll break down! She's probably going to look all pretty and I'll get tongue tied!"

"Yugi, calm—"

"I can't do it!"

"Yugi!" the Pharaoh finally cried, stopping the boy's pacing and putting his hands on his shoulders. Yugi met the Pharaoh's gaze with a petrified one of his own. "Yugi," the Pharaoh said very precisely, "Take a deep breath." Yugi did so, if not rather shallowly, but he held it in. "Let it go," Pharaoh instructed, and Yugi let it go. "Now breathe again. In, out, in, out. Not just in and not just out. You don't want to pass out."

Yugi breathed like he was breathing into a paper bag, taking air in and out when the Pharaoh told him to. "Better?" Pharaoh asked, and Yugi nodded. "You're going to be fine, Yugi, you can do this."

"Right," Yugi breathed, "I can do this." Pharaoh nodded, smiling, and Yugi grinned at him gratefully. "Thanks, Pharaoh."

The Pharaoh simply nodded. "Now get going. You don't want to keep Tea waiting."

Yugi stood frozen before Tea's door, trying to breathe like the Pharaoh had told him to. He hadn't been able to ring the doorbell, so the Pharaoh had done it for him only moments ago, before retreating back into the puzzle.

Yugi wasn't sure whether to thank him or hurt him.

The door opened to reveal Tea, and she smiled. Yugi smiled. "Hey, Tea," he breathed.

She looked beautiful—wearing a short tan skirt and blue tank top, tall brown boots adorned her feet and several bracelets hung at her wrists. They had decided on a movie and dinner and anywhere else they wanted to go.

Yugi had only managed to get dressed after the Pharaoh had calmed him down and chosen options for him to wear. He now wore black jeans, a dark blue muscle shirt, a black leather jacket and his usual adornments: studded bracelets and a choker, along with heeled boots.

How do I look? Yugi asked the Pharaoh nervously before he could retreat into the puzzle again.

How do you want me to answer that? Pharaoh replied. You look fine, Yugi. Don't worry about it. Be yourself and breathe.

Right, Yugi thought, and the Pharaoh nodded before disappearing. Yugi felt him withdraw inside the confines of the puzzle, and knew that the Pharaoh was leaving him and Tea alone.

"Hi, Yugi!" Tea beamed exclaiming happily, "Let's go!" Falling into step beside Yugi, they set off towards the theatre.

Yugi found himself relaxing further, growing more comfortable with the idea of the date. He found he could talk quite easily to Tea, laughing with her and just being normal. He shouldn't have been worried.

Tea and Yugi both agreed that a chic-flick definitely wouldn't work. Instead, they saw an action/romance/comedy film called How-to-blast-your-best-friend-to-bits, which they both agreed would be a lot more exciting than a chic-flick.

The movie was about a man who got people on his side, made them his 'best friend,' and then betrayed them—he started out as a bad guy, but you could guess how he ended up.

They left the theatre talking animatedly about the show. Quoting it and deciding to come see it again with the rest of the gang.

"Where do you want to go, Tea?" Yugi asked.

"Wherever, Yugi," she shrugged, smiling.

They settled for a nice Italian restaurant, where the food was delicious. Tea got a salad while Yugi ordered pasta: Fete-chine Alfredo. They ordered bread-sticks as well, and at the end, a double-fudge chocolate cake.

"You know," Tea said after finishing a mouthful, "This probably isn't very good for us, but it sure is good!"

"Mm-hm!" Yugi agreed.

As soon as the cake was finished, they were completely full. They sat back with satisfaction, looking blissfully content with the over-fullness of their stomachs. The waiter came by and Yugi paid for the dinner with half of his earned money and half of gramps lent money.

Now sitting outside on a bench, they looked up at the stars. The night was warm and the light breeze refreshing. Yugi came to a sudden realization: he hadn't once made a fool of himself.

The Pharaoh was always right, Yugi thought, realizing he hadn't talked to him in over three hours. That was a definite record.

"Where to now, Yugi?"

Yugi took a pleased breath, "I don't know. Any ideas?"

"We could just walk around," she suggested.

So they did. They went around to open-late trading card shops for Yugi, a music story for Tea, went window shopping, and just enjoyed each other's company.

"You know," Yugi began rather sheepishly, "I was a little nervous before the date."

"You were?" Tea asked.

Yugi nodded. "The Pharaoh had to calm me down," he laughed. "That's not weird, is it?"

Tea just shook her head, smiling, "Not at all. You and the Pharaoh are really close, right?"

Yugi grinned, "Yeah."

Tea cleared her throat, "I was a little nervous, too, actually."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I mean, we're really good friends, and I've…" she cleared her throat, "Liked you for a long time…"

Yugi's heart nearly stopped, "You have?"

Tea nodded nervously. "I just didn't know how to tell you."

"You know what the Pharaoh told me just before we left?" he asked, surprising Tea.

"What?" she inquired.

"He told me: 'You're a great person, Yugi, and I know you've liked Tea for a really long time. Trust me, you're going to be just fine. There's a time where you just need to say what you want to say and do what you want to do. Follow your heart.'"

Tea smiled, blush coloring her cheeks. Without warning, she leaned over and kissed Yugi's cheek. "And he's right."

Yugi's heart floated in his chest and he smiled, "He usually is."

She laughed, and at the same time, they grasped hands.

Yugi flew blissfully onto his bed, a silly smile on his face. He stared up at the ceiling, unable to get Tea off his mind or the incredible feeling on his lips. It had been minutes before, but he could still feel it.

He had never had so much fun in his entire life. His heart was so light, he felt like he could fly.

The Pharaoh leaned against the wall, suppressing a laugh as he smirked slightly, "So I take it from that ridiculous smile on your face that everything went well?"

Yugi just nodded, and a sigh escaped his lips.

Pharaoh raised his eyebrows, but he would get no where with Yugi tonight. Sensing that his young friend was no where near sleep, the Pharaoh took over and settled in to sleep, thinking that he really hoped Yugi would get a grip on things in the next week.

Well there it is! I hope you liked it! Please review—its mucho appreciated! There's one, maybe two more on this baby, so enjoy it while you can, and meanwhile check out my other story!
