Tealie: *in front of mirror, putting makeup on tiredly*
She-Spirit: *taps Tealie's shoulder* Uh, Tealie?
Tealie: *putting concealer under her eyes* What is it?
She-Spirit: *points at you* They're here.
Tealie: WHAT?!?!?!? *suddenly goes into hyper-drive with the makeup, so it looks like she has five hands - one holding a hairbrush, one holding hairspray, one holding blush, one holding eye shadow, and one holding lipstick*
She-Spirit: ^.^ While my aibou is busy having a fit, I guess it's my turn to do the disclaimer. Here goes - Tealie does not own Yu-Gi-Oh!, she does own herself, she doesn't mind if you use her, just do a disclaimer. Though why anyone would want to borrow my mental aibou is beyond me . . .
Tealie: *comes out of her fit* . I heard that! *goes back into it*
She-Spirit: *goes on like she didn't hear* Another thing people forgot, I guess that technically Tealie owns me, too. I don't mind if you use me, just do a disclaimer, 'kay? Also, this one takes a bit of a time jump. Last one was in October. Now, the school year just ended.
Tealie: *comes out of the fit again* It's not my fault! Nothing interesting happened in the school year! *goes back in it*
She-Spirit: Whatever, hikari. Guess that's it. Oh, wait! I almost forgot!! Thank you, Yami no Ryu Sakura! I'VE GOT A NAME NOW!!!!!!! *falls on bed, giggling insanely*
Tealie: *finished getting ready, stares down at She-Spirit* And you said I was mental.
She-Spirit: *still giggling insanely*
Tealie: *snaps fingers in front of She-Spirit's face* Earth to She-Spirit!
You: *getting very impatient*
Tealie: *sweat drop* Uh . . . I'll get back to her. Here's the story!
************************************************************************

7:29 a.m. on a Saturday. Tealie Kaiba was fast asleep. 7:30 a.m. RING!!!!! "Ugh." An arm appeared out from under the blankets and hit the alarm. RI . . . After about thirty seconds, the rest of Tealie appeared. She sat up and yawned.
"ARGH!" said a voice loudly.
Tealie jumped. "What, She-Spirit?" she said irritably.
"Two things." said She-Spirit. "Number one - I can understand you doing that during the school year, when you have to get out for school, but the school year's over! I need a lie-in!"
Tealie sighed and rolled her eyes. "You can catch up on your sleep later," she said. "I'm leaving the Tauk behind anyway."
"Why?"
"I'm going to the beach. Didn't you pay attention when I told you yesterday?"
"No."
"I don't see why I bother telling you things," Tealie said, rubbing her eyes tiredly. "Anyway, what was the second thing?"
"The second thing is that I don't want to be called She-Spirit! I have a name too, you know."
"What's that?" asked Tealie.
"Raven Shaddi," replied She-Spirit.
"Raven," repeated Tealie skeptically. "Isn't that a strange name for someone who lived in ancient Egypt? I mean, no offense, it just seems a bit, well, present-day."
"Actually, that's the English translation," Raven admitted. "I can't actually remember my original name. All I know is that I got it because my hair is black as a raven."
"Well, that makes sense. Anyway, go back to sleep. I'll see you later, Raven."
Raven yawned. "See you later."
Tealie changed into her bikini, and ran downstairs. She ate her toast quickly, and grabbed her lunch and towel. "Bye, Seto," she said to her twin brother. "See you later, Mokuba," she told her younger brother.
"Have fun, Tealie," replied Seto.
"Bye, Tealie!" said Mokuba.
Tealie ran down her extremely long driveway. When she finally got to the end, she breathlessly hopped into her limo. "Pick up my friends," she gasped to her driver.
"Which ones, miss?" he asked.
Tealie giggled. "Yugi, Joey, Tristan, and Tea."
"Right on it, miss."
When all five of them were in the car, Tealie announced, "Now to the beach!" Everyone cheered.
An hour later, they made in to Huudsson Lake, a saltwater lake. "Here we are!" said Tealie.
Joey got out first. "Hey, guys," he said. "Don't get out yet."
"Why?" questioned Tristan.
"I want to swim!" whined Tea.
"You'll be able to," Joey said. "I just have a surprise for you all."
"Okay," Yugi said.
"Works for me," said Tea and Tealie together.
Joey closed the car door.
(begin flashback)
"You okay, Serenity?" Joey asked.
"Better than okay," answered the figure on the bed. Because her face was covered in bandages, it was impossible to see any features.
"Say, Serenity?"
"Yes?"
"Remember before Mom and Dad divorced, when I took you to the beach?"
"I'll never forget it."
"Remember how I promised you I'd take you there again?"
"Of course."
"Well, schools going to be out in a couple weeks. I've been planning a trip to Huudsson beach with my friends. I thought it would be a good time to show you off. Think you'll be up to it?"
"Oh, Joey! Of course I'll be there!
(end flashback)
"You can come out now, Sis!" Joey called.
Out from behind a tree came a 13-year-old girl who was as tall as Joey. She had brown, waist-length hair and soft, brown eyes. She was wearing a sky-blue bikini.
"Well?" she said, her eyes scanning the empty beach around her. "Where are your friends?"
"In the limo," Joey answered casually.
"Limo!" Serenity exclaimed, surprised. "I thought the prize was only $3 million!"
"It's not mine. It's Tealie's."
"Tealie? You never told me about her!"
"I met her afterward. She's a Kaiba, but she's a wicked nice one."
"Oh."
By now they had reached the limo. Joey opened the door. "Allow me to introduce. . .my sister, Serenity!"
"Serenity?!?" everyone said, surprised.
"Serenity, this is Tristan, Tea, Yugi, and Tealie," Joey said, pointing to each of them in turn. "Guys, this is Serenity."
"Hi, Serenity!" everyone said.
"Let's swim!" suggested Tea.
"Yeah!" everyone else agreed.
Meanwhile. . .
"You seem restless, big brother," said Mokuba.
Seto was restless. He kept sitting down at his laptop and standing up again. He went upstairs and came back downstairs. He went downstairs and came back upstairs. Finally, he put on his coat. "If anyone calls for me, I'm taking the day off."
"Where are you going, Seto?" Mokuba asked innocently.
"I'm not sure," said Seto. "I'm just going for a walk. Away from here."
"Okay!"
He walked down his driveway, towards his car.
(begin flashback)
Tealie was on a dance machine at the arcade. She was yelling at him. "Listen to me, Seto Kaiba! Just because you don't have any friends doesn't mean I have to be an antisocial hermit as well!"
(end flashback)
'Maybe she's right,' he thought. 'Maybe I don't have any friends. . .don't be ridiculous, Seto Kaiba! Mokuba's still your friend, isn't he?' Normally that would have comforted him, but today was different.
He got into his limo. "Take me somewhere," he told his driver.
"Where, sir?"
"Somewhere. Anywhere. Actually, take me to Huudsson Lake."
"Huudsson Lake, sir?" asked his driver.
"Yes. Take me there, will you?" Seto asked. 'A walk around the lake might ease my nerves,' he thought.
"Yes, sir."
An hour later, Seto arrived at the lake. "Don't expect me back for a while," he told his driver.
He had walked around three quarters of the lake when he began to notice the world around him. He heard people long before he saw them. He heard shouts, splashes, and laughs. He sighed. 'If only I had that kind of life,' he thought sadly. 'If only I had friends and a happy-go-lucky life.' He sighed again. 'The only family I've got is Mokuba and Tealie. And I hardly know Tealie. She might as well be a stranger who happens to live in the same house as me and eat at the same table.' His dismal thoughts were interrupted by a loud shout. It wasn't so much the shout, which said simply "Ready, set, go!" but who had said it. 'That sounded like. . .TEALIE!?!' (A/N: O.O LONG PARAGRAPH!!!)
Seto froze in his tracks. He realized now that all Tealie had told him was that she was going to a lake. 'Oh, no!' he thought. 'Please, I don't want to see her and her friends. . .I don't want to see friends.' However, his beliefs were confirmed when a different voice claiming, "Tristan wins!" 'Oh, great. It is them. That was Yugi, and Tristan hangs out with Tealie too. Well, I'll keep walking, and if she sees me, she sees me.' Gulping slightly nervously, Seto Kaiba walked on.
It turned out, however, that he saw her. It was just that the "her" wasn't Tealie. When he walked over a little hill that had separated them, the first thing he saw was Tristan and Joey fighting furiously about who had won the race. The next thing he saw was Tealie and Yugi with Should-We- Risk-Getting-Drowned-and-Try-and-Separate-Them looks on their faces. Shifting his gaze again, this time to the beach, Seto stopped. There were two girls tanning themselves on the beach. One he recognized as Tea. The other. . .well, it was her Seto found himself staring at. She was wearing a sky-blue bikini and had waist-length brown hair. Seto didn't know who she was, but of course everyone else knew she was Serenity.
Seto had never felt the way he did right now. His heart felt as though it was about to pump right out of his chest. He felt as though if he had tried to speak, he would stutter uncontrollably. Try as he might, he couldn't take his eyes off of her. He knew it. Cold-hearted Seto Kaiba was experiencing his first love.
Meanwhile. . .
Tealie saw Seto first. 'Oh!' she thought. 'Seto's here. I know I didn't tell him where I was going, so he must be here by coincidence. Well, I'll just ignore him and. . .what is up with him? He hasn't budged. What is he staring at?' She followed his gaze, and, more surprised than ever, saw it led right to Tea and Serenity. 'He's seen Tea a million times, so it must be. . .Serenity?!?'
"Uh, Tealie?" Yugi said, snapping his fingers in front of her face.
Tealie shook her head. "Huh?" she said. 'Real intelligent, Tealie,' she thought.
"Don't do that!" Yugi said, by way of answering her question. "You were spacing out. Your eyes were bulging. Are you okay?"
"Um. . .I feel fine," she answered.
"What were you staring at, anyway?"
"Oh, nothing." 'I'll tell them later,' Tealie thought.
"Um. . .okay. . ." Yugi replied. 'She's definitely keeping something from me. But, whatever. I won't push her.'
Serenity saw Seto next. Of course, she don't know him, but she caught him staring at her. "Oh!" she exclaimed quietly.
"What is it, Serenity?" asked Tea, sitting up.
"Um, a-a-a," Serenity stuttered.
Tea noticed she had been going increasingly dark shades of red. "What is up with you?"
Seto was still on top of the hill. 'So her name's Serenity,' he thought. He knew he'd been seen, but he just couldn't move. 'She's beautiful. . .'
Tea started to worry slightly. "What are you looking at?" she asked.
"A - a - a," Serenity stuttered.
Tea shrugged. "Whatever," she said. 'Time to see for myself,' she thought. Tea followed Serenity's gaze, and found Seto Kaiba. "Kaiba!" she exclaimed with a mixture of surprise and anger.
"Kaiba?" Serenity asked blankly.
"Yeah," Tea said, rolling over to tan her back. "You don't want anything to do with him. He's done some pretty jerky things to beat Yugi in a duel."
Serenity broke her gaze, and turned to Tea. "Hang on a sec," she said, confused. "Wasn't your friend Tealie's last name Kaiba?"
"Yup. She's Kaiba's twin sister. She and Mokuba, her little brother, are pretty friendly, but Kaiba's a grade A jerk, and that's that."
"Oh," Serenity said, disappointed. Her soft brown eyes met Seto's deep blue eyes once more, but she broke the eye contact.
On top of the hill, Seto was feeling pretty disappointed himself. 'Now I'll never get her, not after Tea's little speech. But. . .' He'd just had a sudden brain wave. 'If she's the puppy's little sister, and Tealie's friends with the puppy, I could get Tealie to pair us up!'
A similar brain wave had occurred to Serenity. 'Hold on a sec. Didn't Tea say Tealie was his twin?!? I will be able to meet him!!!!!!!'
Serenity got up. "I think I'll go swim," she told Tea.
Tea's voice was muffled by the sand, so all Serenity heard was, "Mumphamumph."
Serenity swam to the fight. "Um, Tealie? Can I talk to you?"
"Sure," Tealie replied. "Hang on a sec. Joey! Tristan! CUT IT OUT! YOU TIED, ALL RIGHT!?!"
Joey and Tristan separated. "Sure," began Joey. "Whatever," finished Tristan. They swam in opposite directions.
Tealie turned to Serenity. "Let's go elsewhere," she said. Serenity just nodded. They swam toward a piece of unaccompanied beach.
"So, what's on your mind?" asked Tealie.
"Um," said Serenity, unsure of where to begin. "Well, do you, um, have a twin?"
"Yep."
"A brother?"
"Yep."
"What's his name?"
"Seto, but most people just call him Kaiba."
"Do you?"
"No. Why would I? He's my twin!"
"Did you know he was on top of that hill?" Serenity asked, pointing.
"I noticed."
Serenity surprised Tealie with what she said next. "He's cute."
Tealie looked at her curiously. "You think so?"
"Yeah. He was looking at me. His eyes are so, well, blue! And the way his hair falls into his eyes. . ." She started to space out with a strange, glazed, carefree look in her eyes.
"Lemme guess. You want me to pair you two up."
Serenity came back to Earth from wherever her mind had been. "Yes. I don't care how you do it, just get us on a date!!!!"
"All right. It's time he met someone anyway."
By now the sun had started to set. "Hey, TEALIE!!!" yelled Tristan. "Hurry up! Or we'll leave without you two!"
"Two?" Tealie asked Serenity.
"Yeah! I'm going to Dad and Joey for a week! And if I like it, I'm going to stay for the school year!"
"Oh. Well, cover your ears," Tealie warned. Serenity covered her ears. "THAT WOULD BE A LITTLE HARD, CONSIDERING IT'S MY LIMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"WELL, HURRY UP!" Joey yelled.
"Coming," said Serenity.
"WHAT?" yelled either Joey or Tristan, they couldn't tell.
"I SAID, C O M I N G!!!" yelled Serenity.
Tealie and Serenity swam towards the beach. Tealie noticed that Seto had left, but didn't say anything. When they had got to the limousine, Tealie whispered the info and a plan to Yugi. What was this plan? Find out next time!
THE END

By now the sun had started to set. "Hey, TEALIE!!!" yelled Tristan. "Hurry up! Or we'll leave without you two!"
"Two?" Tealie asked Serenity.
"Yeah! I'm going to Dad and Joey for a week! And if I like it, I'm going to stay for the school year!"
"Oh. Well, cover your ears," Tealie warned. Serenity covered her ears. "THAT WOULD BE A LITTLE HARD, CONSIDERING IT'S MY LIMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"WELL, HURRY UP!" Joey yelled.
"Coming," said Serenity.
"WHAT?" yelled either Joey or Tristan, they couldn't tell.
"I SAID, C O M I N G!!!" yelled Serenity.
Tealie and Serenity swam towards the beach. Tealie noticed that Seto had left, but didn't say anything. When they had got to the limousine, Tealie whispered the info and a plan to Yugi. What was this plan? Find out next time!
