Yugi stared into a mirror, gazing at his reflection. He let out a very long
whine.
"Graaaandpaaaa! I look really--weird!" Yugi looked at his black tie and formal suit. He didn't feel very comfortable.
"Yugi, you said it yourself. It's a formal party, isn't it?" Grandpa said. He started to straighten Yugi's tie with a smirk. "You look handsome!"
"Well, it is, and, yes, I am," Yugi added shyly, "B-but--look at me! I'm not wearing gloves, so don't even think of it!"
"I think Yugi DOES looks handsome, don't you think?..Guys? GUYS?" Tea turned around and saw Joey and Tristan, cracking up. Tears were almost flowing from their eyes. They have never seen Yugi in a tuxedo before!
"You look like one of those dolls Tea plays with!" Tristan laughed. Tea glared at Tristan.
"I DON'T PLAY WITH DOLLS!!" she screamed, bearing her teeth at Tristan. He continued laughing.
"Man, Yuge, Halloween isn't for a couple-a months--why do you look like a penguin?" Joey asked, followed by raucious laughter. Yugi turned red, then eyed his cuff-links.
"You look fine, Yugi," Tea said.
"Very fine," Grandpa added. "You'll be a smash!"
"I dunno, Grandpa.." Yugi looked at himself in the mirror again, then gulped.
"Well, I'll let you decide. But hurry up now, it's almost time to go!" Grandpa ushered them to the door. "Go, go!"
"Thanks, Grandpa!" More thank-yous rang from the group as they walked out into the sidewalk, tripping slightly. When they finally regained their balance, Tristan and Joey began to snicker.
"So immature," Tea shook her head. "All relative..."
"Are you insulting my family?!" Joey shouted. Tea slapped her forehead.
"So, Yugi, are you keeping that on?" Tea asked.
"You know, I'm gonna see what everyone else thinks at the party..then we'll see what happens," Yugi said, tugging at his sleeve. "But it's so tight...and itchy--"
"Like a straitjacket," sniggered Tristan.
"We'll see what happens then," Tea nodded. "How do you think WE look, Yugi?"
"Um.." Yugi stopped walking and looked at them. "You all look fine to me."
Tea, Joey, and Tristan looked just like every other day. Joey with his green jacket and jeans, Tea with that skirt of hers, and Tristan with his long coat.
"Yeah." Yugi tilted his head to one side. "Well, Joey, you could tuck in your shirt--"
"You expect me to do dat?! I'm not in some private school, ya know!!" Joey shouted.
"Yeah, but you're going to a BALL...it's kinda like Cinderella." Yugi laughed nervously and sweatdropped.
"I'm not wearing no slippers eitha!" Joey replied.
"No use getting through to him. Just tuck in your shirt, Joey, just this once. Then untuck it a little so it looks loose," Tea suggested. Joey groaned and did so, then looked down at his shirt.
"I feel so stifled right now."
"Did he say 'stifled'?!" Tristan said, turning to the gang. "Joey used a big people's word!!"
"Ah, shaddup!! I've been readin' ya know!!" Joey attacked Tristan and noogied him, but Yugi was walking onward. When Joey was done horseplaying, he looked up, and saw that BOTH Yugi and Tea had disappeared.
"Hey...what?"
"Where'd they go??"
* * * *
"Welcome, Mister Yugi! You look handsome tonight, I see." Weevil greeted him at the door of a huge mansion, and inside were glimmering lights--along with glimmering tables of pastries and cakes. Tea marveled at the large room, full of lights and people. "Like a dream," she had said. Weevil held back a snicker, looking at Yugi.
"Master Yugi," he began.
"Yes?"
"Why on earth are you wearing that? It doesn't...suit..you," Weevil chuckled to himself. "If you wish to change, you may."
"Oh, I dunno...it IS a ball--"
"But Master Yugi! You are the most exprerienced Duelist present! You have as much right to wear whatever you want. But do you wish to change or not?" Weevil asked.
"That may not be a bad idea," Yugi smiled, then nodded. Weevil showed him to the bathrooms, and when Yugi stepped out, he was back to his old self: blue jacket, jeans, and a millenium puzzle around his neck.
"DAT'S the Yugi I know!" Joey said. Yugi laughed nervously.
"I guess I'm not the tuxedo type." Yugi held the suit under his arm.
"Oh, don't wrinkle that!" Weevil took it from Yugi. "I'll just put this in the coat room. You can pick it up when you're ready to leave."
"Thanks, Weevil," Yugi said, nodding.
"Not a problem." He started off toward a hallway. "And YOU enjoy the party!" He chuckled again, and disappeared.
"Weevil's scaring me," Tristan said, scratching his head.
"What else is new?"
The gang had their shares of conversation, mostly about Duel Monsters, and Joey was having fun sneaking snacks into his pockets.
"You CAN eat them HERE, ya know."
"They're, uh...not for me. They're for..eh...uh...my dog!"
"You don't have a dog, Joey."
"I do now!" Joey popped a pig-in-a-blanket into his mouth and munched. It was the best party he ever went to...with the best refreshments.
"I think Weevil outdid himself, don'tcha think?" Yugi asked in between sips of fruit punch.
"Money to blow Yuge, money to blow.."
"Hey, you guys, look at this," Tea pointed to the center of the ballroom. They noticed how people were suddenly muttering amongst themselves, as if something excited was about to happen. Weevil appeared from the crowd and opened the door, grinning. Yugi looked through the doorway, at a distance, and clearly saw a limo pull up. He heard two doorslams, and then heard the long vehicle drive off. People stepped back from the crowd, and Weevil threw up his arms.
"Well, well! Look who decided to attend!" Weevil clamored with excitement. "Ladies and gentlemen, the highest ranked Duelist in the country, and most probably in the entire world, Seto Kaiba!"
"Kaiba?!" Joey exclaimed, nearly choking on a snack. "He-he's here?!"
"No surprise. He MUST have gotten an invitation," Tea said.
Kaiba stepped through the doors then eyed around the room. Mokuba was right next to him, wearing a smirk; he had learned a lot from his big brother. Kaiba folded his arms and walked toward Weevil, then gave him a smirk as well. Weevil returned the facial expression, then offered his hand.
"Welcome, Seto Kaiba. It's an honor for you to be here." Weevil glanced at his little brother. "And you too, Mokuba. I am sure you have learned a lot from your big brother here."
Kaiba looked down at his brother, as if on cue. Mokuba smirked. "Oh, I learned a lot from Seto. I learned that some Duelists aren't even worthy enough to be challenged. I'm sure you've understood that before." Kaiba laughed silently.
'Mokuba, Mokuba...he's becoming a mini-Seto,' Kaiba thought. He smirked again.
Weevil though, frowned a little. But he liked Mokuba's flare. "Hm, you HAVE learned a lot from Seto Kaiba." He looked at Seto for a minute. "Welcome again. And enjoy the party." Weevil walked off with a mutter, and the Duelists that were present looked at Kaiba for a minute. He raised his eyebrow at them, and they finally started to scatter and talk amongst themselves.
"I don't believe dis.." Joey trailed. "After what Weevil said about you before-! The most experienced Duelist-!"
"Weevil has his ways, I guess." Yugi shrugged. "I don't mind."
"Yep. Buttering people up," Tristan said.
"So this is the party, Seto?" Mokuba asked. Kaiba looked around, then spotted Yugi. He narrowed his eyes.
"Yep. This is the party all right...and it's going to be an interesting one," Kaiba replied. "Come on, Mokuba." He took Mokuba's hand and went to the refreshments, his coat slightly whipping against the air, but he still managed to keep an eye on his adversary, Yugi Mutou.
"Graaaandpaaaa! I look really--weird!" Yugi looked at his black tie and formal suit. He didn't feel very comfortable.
"Yugi, you said it yourself. It's a formal party, isn't it?" Grandpa said. He started to straighten Yugi's tie with a smirk. "You look handsome!"
