Ok, well no episode goes with this one obviously. It was just something I thought up. Hopefully you enjoy it as much as the previous chapters. If not, please let me know what is wrong so I can make it better. Thank you and enjoy!

It had been almost a month since Dria had returned to Domino. Every day she would walk with us to school, walk back to the game shop to help Grandpa, and then walk back to the school to walk home with us. Yami and I loved seeing her, Yami especially. I couldn't really decide if I was jealous of him or not… Every time he took over, she just seemed to glow with excitement. She glowed around everyone else, of course…but around him…

"Hey guys!" Dria stood outside the school gates, waving excitedly. She dyed her hair blonde again, hiding her dark locks. Everyone stopped at the sound of her voice and turned towards her. She ran in, people stepping aside to let the gorgeous woman through, and skidded to a stop in front of me.

"Hi Yugi!" She bounded forward and kissed my cheek. My whole face felt like it was on fire I was blushing so hard. She smiled brightly and turned towards the other three. She hugged Joey and Tristian as they kissed her cheek, but when she went to hug Tea, Tea pushed her arms away and ran off.

"Tea! Where are you going?" Joey took a few steps after her, before stopping and scratching his head.

"What's up with her? She's never been like this before…" Tristian shrugged and placed his arm around Dria, "Don't worry about her. I bet she'll explain it to us later. Let's go back."

As he gently pulled her along, Dria reached back and took a hold of my hand. Her soft hand shot warmth up through my spine, making it tingle. We walked in silence back to the game shop, where Grandpa was currently helping a customer. Yes! People do actually come into our store, despite popular belief!

The next few hours were spent in silence as well. Joey, Tristian, and I worked on homework while Dria helped Grandpa with the store. When the clock struck six, the shop was closed and the other two joined us. A fire was started as Grandpa went to make everyone hot chocolate. Dria curled up in the chair next to the fireplace and pulled out a sketchpad.

"Are you making a new card?" Joey was extremely excited. He tried to sneak a peek at the drawing on the pad, but Dria jokingly slapped him away. "Yes, and it's not for you." He huffed in annoyance, but didn't stop begging her to show him.

"What do you all say to a movie?" Tristian pulled out an old video from underneath the couch. "That's where my movie went! I've been missing that one for months now!" I raised my eyebrow.

"Something tells me I don't want to know what's on it."

Joey glared at me, "It's not that, you idiot! I know I have all those!" The opening credits started. " The Lion King? Really Joey?"

"Watch it! That's one of my favorite movies!" Dria protested. She closed her sketch pad, tossing it across the floor, and joined me on the couch. I felt Yami's presence next to me and turned towards him. You want some time with her too, right? He shook his head quickly…before slowly nodding and dropping his head guiltily. I smiled, Just don't hog all the time again, you hear? He smiled. I closed my eyes. A nap sounded kinda nice anyway.

DPOV

My necklace tingled against my skin. I reached down to touch it, when I noticed the faint glow the Puzzle was giving off. I raised my eyes, and stared directly into those sunset eyes that had captivated me so many years ago. His gentle smile covered his face, and I couldn't help but relax onto his shoulder, swooning slightly. He chuckled a little and barely brushed his lips against my forehead.

*FLASH*

I heard the snap of a camera and the giggles of two obviously mature boys. I opened one irritated eye and glared at the sources. "Aw, aren't they cute?"

"Dria and Yugi sitting in a tree… K-I-S-S-I—whoa!" In response to Joey's song, I pulled the Pharaoh down on top of me and proceeded to kiss him senseless. My fingers combed through his hair, messing up his blonde bangs even more. The boys hollered and cheered as we continued.

"Alright, alright! Loosen the lips, you two. We have a movie to watch." I released him and smirked. His eyes were completely dazed and he seemed short of breath. I giggled as I rested my head on his chest. To think, I used to be the one left breathless.

With the lights were turned off, the curtains pulled down, and the popcorn popped, we began the movie. Pharaoh and I were curled up on the couch with a nice warm blanket around us. I got distracted from the movie every now and then because he would run his fingers down my spine and kiss the spot behind my ear. I smacked him a couple times for it, but he ignored my warnings.

"Hello Tea. I'm so glad you could join us. They're all upstairs watching a movie."

I froze as I heard the footsteps getting closer. I knew why Tea avoided me. She hadn't figured out her feelings for Yugi, or the Pharaoh for that matter, and she especially didn't like the competition I presented. I wanted her to feel comfortable with my relationship with Yugi, but I was not going to go out of my way for it.

"Introducing His Majesty, King Ignatius, and his Lady, Queen Leilani!"

I looked up from the scroll I was reading and watched as the visitors made their way into the throne room. All the servants bowed to them as they passed. A servant came and offered to take my scroll back to the library. I smiled, passed him the scroll and some change, and floated over towards my chair. Pharaoh had just entered the room, and smiled lovingly upon seeing me. He took my hand and placed a chaste kiss on my lips before sitting down. I sat on the arm of the chair and leaned against the back.

"Greetings Pharaoh! Thank the gods above we are able to come together again." My husband smiled slightly. Ignatius was known for…well, starting wars and seducing others' wives. "And it is lovely to see you, Queen Alexandria. Rumor has lied to me. You are more beautiful than I could have imagined." I smiled warmly and left my spot. I floated down towards Leilani, grabbing her hands and kissing both her cheeks.

"As are you, Lady Leilani. I am very pleased you are here." She did not respond; I raised my eyebrow as she looked at me. Her eyes betrayed her…pure jealousy was prevalent. I smirked slightly, silently accepting her challenge. I bowed my head slightly towards Ignatius before dancing back to my husband. "Please, enjoy the wine and food we have prepared for you, and the ceremony our friends have prepared."

Pharaoh pulled me down onto his lap after I finished speaking. I giggled as he nibbled my ear, his chest rumbling as he tried to suppress his chuckles. The dancers came out and started performing for our guests. Ignatius's eyes were on me the entire time, and I started to fidget, uncomfortable under his gaze.

"What is wrong, my akh?" Pharaoh tightened his grasp on my waist. I slightly shook my head, "Nothing." He huffed in annoyance. He could always tell when I was lying. He pulled my chin around and stared directly into my eyes. Then he smirked, "Nothing now that I occupy your mind." He then proceeded to kiss me senseless, not caring about how many people were staring.

Many hours later, I found myself walking down the hallway towards my room. Pharaoh had told me he would come later, as soon as he knew Ignatius and Leilani were being watched carefully.

"The gods must have smiled upon me if I am so lucky as to meet you here, Great Royal Wife."

I had to suppress a shudder. Ignatius had too much to drink…so much that I could smell the wine on his breath even though he was on the opposite side of the hall. I smiled slightly, "Perhaps. Or perhaps they have cursed you so you would encounter me here. Surely your wife awaits you?"

He took three extremely large steps and pushed me back against the wall. He raised his hands and trapped me against the wall. My head spun as the overpowering scent of wine filled my nose and I could barely breathe.

"She means nothing to me…not when I can have you instead." I narrowed my eyes and hissed at him. "Ah, how feisty you are. I wonder if you have the same fire under the sheets." His lips came dangerously close to mine...

"IGNATIUS!"

A fist came flying from the hall, smashing into Ignatius' right cheek. He spun away from me, clutching at his nose. Familiar hands wrapped around my waist and pulled me to a strong chest. The unique scent of cinnamon cleared my head.

"Pharaoh! Please come back!"

Leilani joined us in the hallway, clad in a half-torn dress. I nearly shook in anger. She had tried to seduce my husband while hers tried to seduce me. Now it all made sense.

"Leave me, you snake. I want nothing to do with you. As for you, Ignatius, learn this: touch my wife again, and I will…" I placed my hand over his mouth. He blinked a few times, and then met my gaze with his confused one. I winked and focused on Leilani.

"What do you say to a game? Winner picks her husband. Loser gets the leftover."

She smiled widely, "Do not weep when you have to go with that pig of a man." I shrugged and requested a servant to bring my special basket. All the servants around started laughing loudly, knowing exactly what I was going to do. The one returned with my basket and set it down in between Leilani and me. The basket had one, very small opening at the top. A low hiss was heard from inside the basket as we sat down on either side.

Her eyes widened in fear as the hiss reached her ears. I smiled, "An Egyptian cobra, the most deadly of snakes in this kingdom. The game is to collect as many coins as possible, out of 20, without being bitten. If you are, you lose."

She laughed harshly, "Death would be the result if one is bitten. Of course you would lose." I smiled sweetly, "Not if one knows the antidote." Her laughter stopped and she glared at me once more. "Very well."

The game began. I started by grabbing one coin. Relief filled my body when I was not bitten. She grabbed one as well. This pattern continued until I had 9 coins. That is when she lost it. She pulled out a knife from underneath her dress and stabbed at the basket. The hissing stopped.

She giggled, "I was getting bored. Besides, my new husband awaits me. I will have to get rid of your bed though." I just stared back stoically. I did not appreciate cheaters. She stuck her hand in to grab the last few coins…my eyes flashed red…she could not pull her hand back out. "What trickery is this? My hand is stuck!" I still said nothing.

The hissing returned.

She froze and her eyes filled with complete fear. I rose from my spot. Pharaoh, who had leaned up against the wall to watch, stood straight and held out his arms. I could not resist his invitation and wrapped my arms around his neck. Leilani started screaming, "Please! I do not wish to die! Please, spare me!" I waved my hand and the basket was gone. All that remained was the bite marks from the snake.

"You lose."

Tea walked into the room and immediately narrowed her eyes at me. I just raised one eyebrow back. She scoffed and sat down next to Joey. "Hey Tea. Glad you could join us." She put on a fake smile.

"I got off work early and wanted to hang out with you all."

Her glaring eyes never left my face. I, on the other hand, enjoyed the evening. As I rose from my spot, I smiled at her. "Would you like to go shopping with me tomorrow?"

The three boys immediately agreed, but Tea was reluctant. I sat down next to her, "Please. I can't handle that much testosterone all alone." She cracked a smile and covered her mouth as giggles arose. I winked at the boys as I left. Maybe she and I could be friends (assuming she realized that the Pharaoh was mine, of course).

That night, Pharaoh crept into my room. I knew it was him, so when he tried to spook me, I just laughed quietly. "How did you know?" I winked at him, "You have very distinct steps. Plus, Joey and Tristian would have been laughing the whole time and Tea would have come at me with a knife. You were my best guess."

His eyes darkened a bit at the mention of Tea and her hostility. "Let me know if she bothers you. I will make her back off." I smiled and pulled him into bed with me. "Don't fret. I can handle her." I laid my head against his chest, falling asleep to the steady beating of his heart.

I woke up bright and early. Pharaoh had left in the middle of the night to return to Yugi's bedroom to avoid worrying Grandpa should he wake up and randomly check on Yugi. I bounded down to his room and threw open the door, shocking the three boys awake.

"Get up, lazy bums! It's shopping time."

Tea was already downstairs, ready to go. As I helped clean up the house a little, she tried to do everything better. I smiled. Anything I can do, she can do better? Ha, I think not. But I appreciated her determination to show off because it got the work done nearly twice as fast. The boys didn't even have to lift a finger. "So, as Tea and I are enjoying our shopping spree, you boys will be carrying anything we buy." It wasn't a request. Joey and Tristian complained at first, but when I promised to take them to an all-you-can-eat restaurant, they agreed. Yugi just rolled his eyes and smiled.

I won't go into the details of our trip, but I did find a new dress and new shoes for the dinner Father and I were going to have when he came to town. And, I got Tea a dress for…how should I know? It just looked great on her. So, in all honesty, the boys didn't have to carry anything…well, Yugi didn't.

"Alright guys. Pick a restaurant." Joey immediately dragged us out of the mall and over to some fast food place. He ordered half of the menu. But don't worry; Tristian ordered the other half. When they first saw the total, I had to laugh. Their jaws nearly broke through the table. "Hey, I promised." One swipe of the card later, the two were enjoying their reward. Yugi and I had talked for a while when I realized Tea wasn't with us.

"I don't know. I thought she was right behind us."

"Don't touch me!"

I snapped my head towards the high pitched voice. A few guys had cornered Tea in a nearby alley. I stood and made my way over there as quickly as possible. She smacked away one guy's hand just as I got there. I'm sorry, but she would be the one to get into this kind of trouble.

"Leave her alone."

The four boys turned on me instead. "Well, well aren't you a pretty one?"

"Yeah, we'd rather have you than her."

"Come here, little kitten." One was stupid enough to touch my shoulder. My fist met his face rather quickly. After successfully giving him a nosebleed, the other three backed off. "Leave now or you all will regret it."

They scampered away faster than I thought they would be able to. Yugi, Tristian, and Joey came running up as the cowards ran the opposite direction. While the last two checked on Tea, the former immediately came to me. "Are you alright, Dria?" His, and the Pharaoh's, worried eyes traveled over my body, checking for any signs of injury. I smiled and kissed his forehead. "I'm fine. That was fun, actually."

"Umm…thank you, Dria." Tea shyly extended her hand towards me. I smiled softly and stole a hug instead. She was surprised by my instant forgiveness, but accepted it anyway. Hopefully, she would realize that I didn't intend to give up Yugi or the Pharaoh so easily. And hopefully I wouldn't have to come close to killing her to make her see…

Then again…Just kidding.
