Occurring sometime between Duelist Kingdom, and the Battle City Tournament, this is a romance story between Téa and Yugi.  I really don't like Téa… -.-  But here goes!

Disclaimer: I don't own anyone here, that I don't!

Duelist kingdom really had gone so well!  Very well, actually.  It was a good thing it was out of the way, though.  It had been rather boring, even, to some extent.  Especially when Joey was dueling…..More specifically, when Joey was dueling Mai Valentine, and Rex Raptor.  Nevertheless, there had been high stakes.  Very high stakes.  It seemed as if the main finalist wasn't going to make it, for a very long time.  But, at least, thank the gods, he made it out in the end.  Well, at least no one was hurt.  That's a plus, right?  It could have been a lot worse………and, well, no one was left with nothing; meaning they had entered the tournament for nothing.  No one important, that is.

'Especially not Yugi.'   Téa thought.  She wasn't trying to sound cold, or mean in any way, but Yugi belonged to her.  Only to her.  Forever!  Her feelings for him were unbreakable.  In addition, anyone who would try to take him from her would have to suffer her wrath!  And nobody could stand the wrath of Téa!

'But………I like Yami, too.'  She remembered.  'Damn it!'    Things were going to get more problematical, now.  Much more.  Liking two guys at once?  She'd quickly gain a bad reputation.  She'd be called every name in the book.  Téa was sure that Yugi liked her, possibly even more then a friend, but what about Yami?  She had forgotten him this whole time!  She slapped her forehead, quickly getting worked up.

What if Yami liked her, too?  Moreover, what if, truly, deep down inside her heart, beneath her love for Yugi, she also had feelings for Yami?  Or what if she only liked Yami?  But….what if she liked Yami even more then Yugi?  In addition, what if Yugi found out?  He'd hate her, she was sure of it!  He probably wouldn't ever talk to her again!  It'd be all over between them, even if they did just become friends!  ………However, Tristan's voice quickly made all of her 'what-if's' dissipate into thin air.

"So, like, dude!  What's up, you guys?  Anything been happening recently, that the Trist-man should know about?"  He asked, glancing around at the others.  He regained a serious look.  "Oh, and does anyone have any gel?  I'm running out!"  When it came to his hair, he was always serious.

Yugi and the others laughed, at Tristan's question.  Tristan without hair gel!  It was quite funny.  However, Joey stopped for a second, thinking for a bit, and then he shot Yugi a relentless glance, after pushing some loose strands of hair out of his eyes.

"Hey….!  Don't you use gel too, Yugi?"  Yugi nodded.  "Hah!  Thought so!  You aren't one t' be talkin', then!!"  Joey shot back at Yugi, with his Brooklyn accent, of course.

Yugi shrugged, gaining a rather apologetic look.  He felt, to some extent, badly now.  Joey was right.  It wasn't very nice to be a hypocrite, especially to your friends!

The Teacher of the classroom stared at them.  He shook his head, seemingly in disapproval of their non-educational conversation.  They didn't even notice him.  The bell rang, shortly after, and the short little break was now over.  Returning to the classroom, all the students sat back down in their assigned seats.  While the teacher was instructing the class, over half of the students weren't paying attention.  A great deal of them were actually asleep.  Tristan was fixing up his hair, with some gel from Joey, while Yugi and Joey were looking through each others' decks.  Téa was fantasizing over Yugi, while messing with her make-up, Seto Kaiba was reading an electronics book………and so on, and so forth.  The teacher was pretty much being ignored by everyone.  The only one who happened to really be paying attention, was the British-boy Bakura.  Like usual.

Finally, the class was over.  It seemed like an eternity that they were all trapped in the classroom.  Bakura, of course, didn't seem to think so.  He seemed like a Teacher's pet, even though he really wasn't.  He just……happened to pay attention, having quite a deal of discipline, of which the others lacked.  However, when the end of the day bell finally rang, almost everyone jumped up from their seats, and ran to the door.  The teacher made them form a line, being quite the pushy sort.  While everyone was fairly-neatly filing out the door, Téa bumped into Yugi.  She accidentally dropped her books.

"Oh!  Téa!  I'm sorry about that!  Let me give you a hand!"  Yugi exclaimed, kneeling down to pick up the dropped books.

This was good, because Téa didn't really want to have to bend over, because of her short skirt, of course.  Nevertheless………it was the school uniform, so she had to wear it.  There were many complaints about it, and many of the girls would rather wear the guys' blue shirt/pants uniform, but they weren't allowed to wear them.  The teachers would annoyingly reply, 'Are you a girl?  That's what I thought!  So you wear the 'girl' uniform!'.  However, realizing that Téa wasn't going to bend over, a group of rather perverted boys behind her mumbled, a few curse words, and left the room, making as much noise as possible…..or so it seemed.

"Thanks, Yugi……..…"  Téa started, when he handed her the dropped books. 

Yugi nodded, smiling rather charmingly, for a teenager half the size of a normal one.  Of course, he was always made fun of about that.  Téa rubbed the back of her head, quite embarrassingly.  She messed with the silver bracelets around her right arm, seemingly distracted, and most obviously nervous.

"Uhm…..well……..how about after my Cheer practice……you and I…….uh……hang out….?"  She asked, mentally slapping her forehead, realizing that that sounded really dumb.  Yugi grinned, seemingly not noticing at all, her embarrassment and nervousness.  Which was all way too obvious.

"That sounds great!  Hey, how about you stop by Grandpa's game shop when your practice is over?"  He asked.  Téa nodded, smiling.  Bingo!  She had just scored the jackpot!

"Sure, Yugi!  See you then!" she answered, leaving, and heading towards the girls' locker room to change into her cheerleading outfit.

So, then it all began.

'Oh, wow, this is going to be the best date………err………day…ever!'  Téa thought to herself, while on her way down the hallway.  Wow, a date?  Maybe.  Just maybe.  She hoped so!  As long as no one else came with them!  None of the others could come accompany them.  If that happened, then Téa and Yugi would be able to do everything together!  And maybe……Just maybe……they'd have time for some romantics, too.  That's what she had in mind, anyway…………………

Hey, I hope you like it.  It's my first Téa/Yugi fic, and as I said, I don't really like Téa!  Anyway, please R&R! ---Cell---  ~~
