Authoress' Note: This story is also side-written by my friend, Sara-Darkotter. She wanted me to mention that. Now, onto the story!
Once back at the Game Shop, Tèa looks a little distant.
"You okay?" Tristan asks.
"I dunno..."
"But Yugi and Rebecca are turning into you."
"Hi, Joey." Tristan replies.
"What do you mean turning into me?"
"Turning into you two. Glued at the hip. Hands. Whatever."
"Hey!"
"Téa, calm down."
"I will not! They're clearly suggesting..." She whispers the rest in his ear.
He blushes. "Oh...Okay, guys, that's not funny."
Tèa nods in agreement, still blushing.
"Wait, you two ain't...?" Joey looks embarrassed. "Sorry bout dat. My mistake!"
"Of course we're not that close yet! What made you think that?"
"Well... You're always together, an' kissin' an' stuff."
"That's because Yami can't go five seconds without doing so."
Pharaoh gripped her hand a little tighter.
"Yeah, bu..." His words quailed under Téa's glare.
"I'm serious, Joey! I'd say 'Ask him yourself.', but he's not here."
"Wha?"
"They don't know, Téa."
She sighs. "It's a long story..."
They sit on the floor. "We're ready!"
And so she explains.
And once done,they begin to investigate Pharaoh. "Gotta pulse."
"Joey! Tristan, stop! You're embarrassing him! And me..."
"'Kay, Téa. Just making sure he's alive..."
"Guys. Guys..."
"Weird. Doesn't feel like there's gel. How does it stay up?"
"Guys. The hair's natural."
"And Yami and YUGI have that style as well, you know."
"I thought it was all just gel..."
"No."
"He's real right now, okay? Give him some space."
"Fine..."
Sighing, she flops back on the couch. "You guys really wear me out sometimes..."
"Sorry."
"I'm gonna go make myself something. I'm feeling peckish again." Tèa gets up and heads for the kitchen.
And while fixing herself a sandwich, Joey comes in. She continues her work, unfazed. "Where's da cleaner?"
"Under the sink. Why?"
"I spilled somethin'."
She looks down, watching as he digs it out.
"I wonder if dere's anythin' left." He sprays it in the air.
As Tèa watches this, her nose twitches. And she gives a light sniffle as her breath starts to softly hitch. "Ah...ah...ah..." She quickly places a finger under her nose, but upon its release a fireball rolls into the air.
"Whoa."
Another sniffle and hitching breathes. "Ah..AH...AHH-CHOO!"
Joey had scrambled back.
"Ah...ah...AH...!" She clasps both hands over her mouth and nose. "...AH-CHMMPH!" She flies back against the wall. "Oof!"
"You okay, Téa?"
"I-" She sneezes again. "hate that cleaner." She takes a breath and holds it, clasping both hands over her mouth and nose again, eyes shut tight. And with each powerful trapped sneeze, her entire body bounces and/or jumps.
When Joey sees her nose, he blinks. "You got allergies? Your nose is red."
"My d..dragon half does..."
"Dragon?" She goes to answer, but is interrupted by another sneeze. "Let's leave..." Joey drags her out.
"But my food...I-"
"Get it later."
When they return, and everyone sees her nose, Pharaoh sighs, Tristan looks confused, but Yugi and Rebecca aren't noticing. She's set gently on the couch. "I want my sandwich." She smiles when Joey brings the club-style sandwich to her. "Thanks."
"Want some pepper?" He holds it out.
Before she can answer, he sprinkles some. "Ah-choo!" And with this sneeze, a fireball the size of Joey's head rolls skyward. "Ohh..." She sniffles, rubbing her nose again.
"Okay, bad idea."
"That's it...My dragon half is going bye-bye as soon as I'm done eating..."
"But it's cute!"
"It's also been a pain in the butt!"
"And cute..."
Tèa whimpers...then begins to cry.
"Ohh...Please don't!"
She continues to cry, face hidden in her hands.
Pharaoh hugs her. "I'm sorry."
"It's ruining me! My relationships! Everything!"
"You'll be FINE." She looks up at him tearfully. "Everything goes up and down. Things can only get better from here."
"But-"
"Just wait and see."
Another soft, tearful whimper.
"Movie anyone? Pirates of the Caribbean?"
"O-okay..."
"Good idea, Yugi. Jack Sparrow can solve anything."
"CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow." Téa corrects.
And during the movie, it works! Téa cheers up. This makes Pharaoh cheer up and everything feel better.
Meanwhile, with the Millennium Puzzle and Yami, he was struggling with new instincts. They were telling him to find her, kill her... But his heart was arguing back.
And then he heard them. A female and a male.
"He keeps resisting. You think he would have realized by now..."
"She's a danger to all. She's a heartless killing machine, under the human guise. She's just trying to get close to him, then..."
The thrum of metal through air.
He whirled.
