Téa arrived just then, wearing a gray sweatshirt and sweatpants. "Hello, Yuge."
~Yuge?! Why did she call us THAT?!~
Joey said he'd spread the word to the others!
"Say, 'Yugi,'" Yami told her.
"Say what?" Joey asked.
"My name."
"Yugi Moto, you're up," a voice called from behind. He pushed Yugi into a neighboring room, where the mock couples were getting married.
They went through with the mock ceremony (luckily, no kissing was required), after which a baby was placed in Yugi's arms.
~Thank goodness it isn't me.~
"Something's a bit off," the girl said, "from the last time I saw you. You seem. smaller. Isn't that funny, Yugi?"
"Yes . . . funny . . ." Yami said, blushing because of what layed in his arms. He handed it to the girl desperately.
Meanwhile, Tristan (in a black tux) ran by the little room quickly, followed by Bakura (in a white tux), laughing sinisterly. "Ahhhh!" Tristan screamed. Yugi saw that Bakura's Millennium Ring was glowing.
"Where is Téa?" a deep voice called from a corner of the room. It was Kaiba, dressed in a trench coat-type of tux. He looked very nice, of course due to his massive profits from Kaiba Corp. He was getting angry, as his grade was riding on this. He stormed over to the teacher and took out his briefcase.
"Look, I'll pay you anything if I don't have to do this," Kaiba told the teacher.
The teacher shook his head. "I'm sorry, Seto. You have to learn that you cannot buy your way out of everything. Oh, look, there she is . . ." He went out and dragged Téa from the hallway outside.
"What happened to YOU?" Kaiba asked, pupils in the centers of his eyes.
Téa crossed her arms. "Look, Kaiba. I don't want to do this, and I hope you don't, either."
"I have no other choice," Kaiba said, throwing his briefcase at her feet. "There. In there, you'll find something for you to wear. Go put it on. I KNEW you'd do something like this."
With the teacher watching, Téa had no other choice, so she took the briefcase and walked out of the room.
So Téa became Mrs. Seto Kaiba, but Kaiba refused to even touch the toy baby. "I hope this is over - quick!" he said as he left.
Before he left, Yami got the girl he was paired up with to say his name so he could become Yugi again.
"Good night," she said, holding the toy baby in her arms. "Perhaps you looked different tonight because of the darkness."
"I guess you CAN blame it on the darkness," Yugi said, chuckling.
Grampa was waiting for Yugi in his room. "Let's give this a go," he told Yugi. He put the Puzzle in the machine.
An hour later, Yugi returned to the machine and took out the Puzzle. He pulled at that corner section, and to his disbelief, the pieces came loose! But he knew that somehow, that machine did more than clean dirt. It took more than dirt to cause trouble with the Millennium Puzzle. He spent a few hours past his bedtime, trying to put the pieces back correctly, and finally, he got it so that the Puzzle looked normal again, with no pieces sticking out.
The next morning, Yugi put on his Puzzle and reported the good news. I got the Puzzle put back correctly again!
~That's good; just in time. Now if only you'd just shut me up in my Soul Room, too.~ Yami laughed.
On his way to school, Yugi noticed Téa up ahead carrying the toy baby, walking very, very quickly. A car was following her. A back window of the car went down.
"Why don't you accept my ride?" a voice called from inside the car. "There are sensors in that baby, and if you walk like that, it'll get shaken too much, and we'll get a bad grade!"
"I'd rather fail; I'd rather walk; I'd rather crawl!" Téa yelled at the car.
"Hello, big sister!" another voice yelled from inside the car. It was Mokuba.
"Big sister?!" Téa yelled. "You and I might be on decent terms, Mokuba, but as for your brother, forget it! Besides, this is only an assignment."
At school, the teacher looked very stressed. "This arrangement isn't working," he said and sighed. "This week's project is over early. I've had too many parents call in an complain." Cheers could be heard throughout the classroom. The teacher walked around and collected the babies. "But . . ."
There's always a "but."
"You still need to give reports so that I can give you a grade. Bakura? Tristan? You guys are up first."
Tristan walked to the front of the class, but Bakura was walking funny. He walked closer and closer to . . . Yugi!
"Hey, what are you doing, Bakura?" Tristan demanded. "We have to earn our grade!"
"It's not me!" Bakura called back. His Millennium Ring and Yugi's Millennium Puzzle were glowing. "I can't control it."
Joey laughed. "I hate magic."
~What's going on?!~
I don't know! Unless it has to do with how I put the Puzzle back together. No, but that's impossible! No pieces are sticking out!
The two Millennium items were stuck together. Bakura hung funnily from the side of Yugi's desk. Yami tried to come out to help, but for some reason, he couldn't.
~I can't come out. How about you try going in?~
Yugi tried, but he, like the Millennium items, was stuck.
"Are you okay, Bakura?" the teacher asked. "You were paired with Tristan, not Yugi. Well, I guess you can give your reports from exactly where you are standing."
"Um, okay," said Tristan. "Stay cool, cool as a cucumber." (He was speaking quietly to himself.)
"Well," Bakura said, at the same time trying to take off his Millennium Ring (but he could not), "it was quite inspiring, really."
"Inspiring?" Joey called from the audience.
"Well," Bakura tried yanking now, "we have to - take advantage of the times - when we're not stuck to somebody else." He pulled harder, and Yugi pulled too, but they could not unstick themselves.
"Very good!" the teacher said, smiling. "Take advantage of living independently. That's exactly what I wanted to teach you through this project. You guys get an A."
"All right!" Tristan yelled, skipping back to his desk.
Next up were Téa and Kaiba. They stood on opposite corners of the front of the class.
"He's a jerk!" Téa yelled, turning her back on Kaiba.
"Ah, well, she didn't want to be with me," Kaiba said angrily. "My little brother, Mokuba, tried to embrace her into our family, but she refused."
"Is that true?" the teacher asked.
"Yeah, well," Téa began, "I never wanted to do this project in the first place. That's why divorce was invented."
The teacher shook his head. Both Kaiba and Téa knew that they didn't fare too well with the grade. They went back to their seats.
"You'll pay for that, Téa," Kaiba muttered from his desk.
After school, Yugi and Bakura had to walk home together, since they were stuck. Grampa was very alarmed at the situation. "I'll have to use my secret weapon to fix THIS."
