A/N: Wow! Yea, thanx for the reviews people! Ok, I am adding a new
character in this chapter. Her name is Vicky. More info later in story.
Screw my teacher's LA lessons! I'll write this story my way! Well, that's
about it. Enjoy this chap.
Tea looked at the clock, it said 2:30. 'Yes! In thirty minutes I can leave and go back to see my friends!' She was so busy looking at the clock she never saw her teacher come over by her. "Tea! Wake up! It's time to dance, not to go on vacation." She quickly snapped out of her thoughts, "Oh, I'm so sorry! I'm just really excited to see my friends again." She went back into the motion of the music. Twirling and leaping she looked like a graceful swan. Before she knew it, the class was over. She started to head out the door when someone grabbed her. She turned around and saw her friend, Chelsey. "Oh, you scarred me! So, whats up?" "Nothin much. Just can' wait to get home for the holiday. You sure have improved since you've been here. You looked fabulous at the end." Tea blushed at the comment, "Thanks, but, I was just following the beat. Anyway, where are you going for the break?" Chelsey tied her shoe and walked out the door, "Oh, I'm going down to Ohio. My family doesn't know I'm coming so I plan to surprise them. Well, I got to catch the train, good luck back in Domino!" Chelsey ran off towards the front of the campus. Tea quickly ran to her room to pack and to let Teana out.
They were boarding the plane and both were eager to get home. Tea had only packed a backpack because a lot of her stuff was still at her house. She was wearing flare jeans and a blue shirt that said 'Dance' on it. When the plane took off Teana had a confused expression on her face. "What is it? Is there something wrong?" Teana looked at her, "Well, I still don't see why Yami is terrified of flying." Tea just grinned. She sat back and fell asleep, thinking of everyone's surprise when she arrived.
A few hours later, Tea stepped off the plane. She took in a deep breath and exhaled. She was home, where all of her friends were. She walked over to a taxi and told him downtown Domino. After she paid the man, she walked around to stretch her legs. Teana came out and looked around. "I thought you would go straight home and surprise Yugi." Tea sighed, "Yeah, but I have to think of something to say. I can't just show up and say, 'Hey guys, I'm back!' They would go crazy and would have no idea on how to answer their questions. Look! There's the coffee Shoppe. Lets have a drink and think of our plan of action." They walked in and took a seat. Tea looked around and thought she heard Yugi's voice. She turned around, and sure enough, Yugi and the group were sitting behind them. They hadn't noticed Tea sitting right be hind them. (A/N: Typical male thing XD) She listened to what they were saying. "Yugi, come on, she's gone for good. And you know what, I just don't care anymore. She never had the nerve to tell us anything." Joey's cruel words rang in her head. Yugi sighed, "Your right. Maybe she doesn't have any feelings for me. She probably would have called by now if she did." Tea thought this couldn't get any worse until she heard a very familiar voice, "Well, anyway, if she did show up, you would tell her about us, right Yugi?" "Huh, oh yeah, right Vicky."
Tea ran out the door with her hands on her face. Teana ran after her but couldn't keep up. Tea kept running, ignoring Teana calling her. 'Yugi, how? Why did you do this? Did leaving you make you turn from that easily?' She ran into a forest and kept running. It had started to rain but she didn't care. All the pain and heartache was too much to bare. She tripped over a tree root and fell. She didn't get up, she didn't even try. She just cried. That's all she could do. She soon fell into a deep sleep and never heard the soft pounding of footprints behind her.
She woke up and looked around. She was in a living room on a couch bed. She sat up and heard voices coming from the kitchen. She quietly got up and walked over to the wall to listen. "Do you think she'll wake up soon? Her oatmeal is getting cold." Tea knew that voice. Serenity was almost like another sister to Tea. She was always so kinda and graceful, certainly the opposite of Joey. "I bet she's awake right now. Hey Tea! Come in here and let's see your face!" Tea moved over into the doorway. Mai and Serenity were sitting at the table drinking coffee. Tea smiled a little, "Mai, Serenity, how have you been?" Mai gave the what-about-you look. Tea gulped and went over to the empty chair. "I guess you guys want to know where I have been, huh?" They both nodded and Tea took a deep breath, "Ok, where to begin. Well, about 8 months ago, I received a phone call from the New York Dance School. I had qualified to enter and I told them I would be there as soon as I finished high school. Well, when the last day of school came, I decided to not tell you guys I was leaving. I knew it would break Yami and Yugi's heart but I had to. This was such a rare honor; I couldn't just throw it away!" Tears filled her eyes at the remembrance of Yugi yesterday. Mai and Serenity exchanged glances. Tea wiped her eyes and continued, "I knew if I told you then Joey and Tristan would have convinced Yugi to stop me. I wouldn't have been able to say no then. Yugi always said to follow your heart but, even if he didn't stop me than he would have thrown a big good-bye party and I would never have been able to leave. Please, don't tell them I'm here. I'll tell them when I'm read, ok?" Again, she remembered Yugi from yesterday and cried. Serenity walked over and gave her a reassuring hug, "Everything will be ok. I understand how you feel." Tea wiped her eyes and looked at her two friends. Mai smiled, "Well, now how about breakfast?"
After Tea had breakfast, she went into the guest bedroom to get dressed. //Teana, how did I get here?// Teana woke up from her sleep and looked around the soul room. //Huh? Oh, yeah. When you ran off, I found Serenity and Mai walking around. I told them what happened and Mai ran after you. Serenity and I waited and until it started to rain. Then we went back here. Mai brought you back a little later. So, that's how you got here.// Tea sighed. She knew Teana would do something like that. She got dressed and decided to go for a walk in the park, to clear her head. She walked out of the apartment and down to the first floor. She walked down the street and took a left and headed towards the park. She was looking at her feet and didn't notice someone else until they ran into each other. "Ah! I'm so sorry, here let me help you up." Tea grasped a firm hand and was yanked upwards. She was about to say thank you when she saw who it was. Yugi and Tea stared at each other. Tea looked at everyone else and saw Serenity and Mai staring at her. Tea turned and ran as hard as she could. "Tea! Stop! Please!" Yugi and everyone ran after her. She kept her head low. She turned down an ally and hid behind some trash cans. She saw Yugi and everybody run past her. She stood up and walked out of the ally. When she got to the park, she saw Mai and Serenity there. They were talking about something. "Mai, Serenity. Is anyone else-" she was cut short when she saw Vicky come stand next to them. Her eyes narrowed and she took a few quick steps towards her. "Well, well, if it isn't miss runaway her self. So, Tea, why have you come back here after all these months?" Tea looked at Mai. She looked like she was about to punch Vicky but didn't. "None of your business! I want to know why you're hanging around with my friends."
Vicky just shrugged, "After you left, little Yugi was heart broken. I couldn't bare to see him this way so I tried to help him. It started as friends and now we're more than that. Face it Tea, you were never good enough for him. I was the one meant to be bye his side. You've never been able to compare to me!" Tea's face was a classic. She fell to her knees and stared at the ground. "Don't listen to her Tea! She's just some loser who is trying to get to you." Mai told her. "But, she's right. Ever since we were younger, she has always been the better one. Everything I did, she copied and did so much better." Tea looked down at her Gem. 'Teana, help me.' When she looked up, Teana was in her place. "Vicky, why have you gone and destroyed Tea like that?" Vicky stepped back, "What? Are you crazy? You are Tea!" Teana stood up and walked over towards Mai, "You never told her did you?" Serenity shook her head. Teana turned back towards Vicky, "Do I look like Tea? Well, if I do, then you are sadly mistaken. Tea is no more. You have crushed her spirit and now she's dead! It is entirely your fault!" Vicky turned and ran. Tea came out of the soul room and was now standing next to Teana. "That was very good Teana! She actually ran scared." Teana smiled and started to talk with Serenity and Mai. Tea looked in the direction Vicky had run. "Yugi..." she whispered.
