Chapter 3

"So you doin anythin this weekend??" asked joey.

"You asking me out?" Tara laughed. "you just met me today and you want a date.

"Yea, well your really pretty and all. Sorry if I made ya mad or sometin," Joey apologized.

" I'm not mad at you. That's sweet of you to ask me, but I really don't want a relationship right now. Sorry."

"Hey, what are you doing this weekend?" Yugi asked.

"Um……probably getting all my stuff unpacked. I'm not really sure yet why?" Tara asked.

"Well my friends are coming over on Saturday and I was wondering if you wanted to come," yugi explained.

"Oh, but I don't want to impose," Tara protested.

"Impose, smose! Don't worry bout it," Joey exclaimed.

"Yeah, your our friend," stated Yugi.

"But, you don't even know me," she whispered.

"Well we could use this weekend to get to know each other," Yugi said smiling up at her. 'How can he trust people so easily?'

"Uh…yeah I guess I can go if I'm not busy. So where are your friends?" Tara asked.

"They're outside probably. We usually eat under the Sakura tree," Joey said as they turned the corner.

"Hiya smurf!"

"Don't make fun of my height!" Tara and Yugi shouted in unison. Malik and Tea jumped back in shock.

"Woah I wasn't expecting that. I was actually talking to Tara when I said that," Malik said looking at the both of them. Yugi and Tara blinked and looked at each other before laughing.

"Oh my God! I thought he was talking to me!" Yugi laughed. "Everyone makes fun of how small I am. I didn't think they did the same to you seeing as you're taller than me."

"Yeah they do, but not all the time. I usually beat most of them up but Malik here wants to be a pain in my ass so he calls me smurf all the time. I may not be as short as you but I'm short for a girl," Tara explained laughing.

"Guys this is Malik. Malik this is Yugi Motou and Joey Wheeler. Who's your new girlfriend?" Asked Tara.

"Ha ha she's not my girl. Tara this is Tea Gardener. Tea this is Tara. Can we eat yet I'm hungry," Malik whined.

"Yeah let's go! My stomachs crying out for food!" Joey cried grabbing Yugi and Tara's wrists before running off.

"Hey wait for us!" Tea shouted.

As Joey slowed down Tara saw two boys by the Sakura tree. 'The boy with the Ring!'

"Hey guys! What's up? This is Tara Ishida. Tara this is Tristen," Yugi indicated towards a tall brunette, "And this is Ryou."

"Hey," Tristan said.

"Hello," Ryou looked at Tara for a few minutes efore blinking.

"Hi," Tara replied. 'He looks a lot like what's his name only without thte black.'

"Hey guys!" Tea cried as she and Malik came to a stop. "Tristan, Ryou this is Malik. Malik this is Tristan and Ryou."

'So that's his name.' Ryou blushed as he saw Malik smile at him. No one but Tara noticed.

*Taken a liking to him I see.*

**Shut up Tara!**

*Whatever*
