Chapter Three: Brush with Fate
Tristan's eyes widened as he looked at the fine piece of fertile land ahead. He was about to tell Joey about his discovery, but found him in a dead sleep. He sighed and watched patiently as the boat drifted closer and closer to the land. Once the boat came in contact with the soft surface of the land, Tristan thought that it was about time to get the others up and tell them about his finding.
"Hey guys! Wake up everyone!" Tristan yelled.
His call went unanswered. He exhaled deeply and put his hands on his hips. {A/N: No, he's not gay!} That's when Yugi and Mai slowly opened their eyes and looked at a very irritated Tristan.
"Wh-What's going on?" Mai asked groggily as she slowly rose to her feet.
"Yeah Tristan, what's-" Yugi stopped talking and looked around at his surroundings. "How did we get here?"
"Luck." Tristan said briefly.
Yugi nodded his head in accord. He looked from Tristan to Tea to see how she was doing. As he expected, she was still in a deep sleep. He kneeled down next to her and brushed a few strands of brown hair away from her eyes. She slowly stirred and opened her eyes, only to smile at a pair of violet eyes.
"How are you doing? Do you feel better?" Yugi asked as she sat up.
"Yeah, I feel much better." She said as she looked at the small piece of terrain in front of her. "This isn't Domino City, right?" She asked as Yugi shook his head.
"No, but it's something near it." Yugi assured the confused Tea.
"Yeah...this place has to be close to Domino City...." Tristan interrupted.
Everyone, besides Joey, nodded in agreement. As Tristan, Yugi, and Tea made their way onto the island, Mai decided that it was about time for Joey to wake up. She bent down next to him and called out his name. Slowly, Joey's eyes flew open and gazed upon Mai, who was holding out her hand to help him up. He took her hand gingerly and rose to his feet, with the help of Mai of course.
"How did we wind up on this island?" He asked as she turned to him.
"Luck." Mai said, repeating Tristan's statement a few minutes ago.
They soon got off the boat and made their way to the others, who were already exploring the island.
"Did you find anything interesting?" Mai asked as Tristan and Yugi pointed to some fruit trees. "Oh great, we're saved!" Mai said unenthusiastically.
"Hey, you criticize the fruit tree now...but when we are stuck here for a couple of days, you will be grateful that they are here." Tristan said as Tea and Yugi nodded.
"We are not going to be stuck here! Tomorrow morning, we are getting on that lifeboat and sailing out to find Domino City." Mai said as they all looked at her. "Is that clear?" She asked in a boss-like fashion.
They all fell silent. Mai looked at all of them and sighed to herself.
"Lets just get some things for our little camp out, gentlemen...and other." Mai said as Tea silently rolled her eyes and obeyed her orders. {A/N: I usually make Mai & Tea bestfriends, but in this story they have the same relationship as they do when they were in Duelist Kingdom.}
Finally after collecting the towels from the boat and using them as blankets, or pillows, they settled down and slowly fell asleep one by one. But, for some reason Tea couldn't fall asleep. As she walked away from their campsite, she found herself watching the calm waves rustle back and forth along the shore. She sighed and began thinking about today. She couldn't believe the situation they were in.
"Mind if I join you?"
She jumped and turned around to see Yugi standing there. She laughed tensely.
"You don't even have to ask, Yugi." Tea said as Yugi smiled and sat next to her.
"Thanks." He said as he gazed up at the sky. "Nice view, huh?" Yugi said, refering to the stars.
"Yeah, beautiful..." Tea said as she yawned softly.
Yugi turned his attention from the sky to Tea. He wanted so badly to tell her how he felt about her. He just couldn't find the right time to tell her. *Maybe this is your lucky day* Yami called out in his head. Yugi blushed slightly and looked down at the soft sand.
"You know Tea," Yugi said as Tea looked at him. "Even though we are stuck out here...I'm glad it is with you." He said as Tea blushed a deep red.
"Ohh Yugi, that's so sweet." She smiled. "Thank you, I feel the same way about you."
*Alright, cut to the chase Yugi* Yami said as Yugi cleared his throat.
"Tea...I...really...umm.." Yugi swallowed hard. "I...really like-"
"Hey you two lovebirds, if you wanted to get a room...you should have asked."
Yugi and Tea swiftly turned around to see where that sarcastic notion came from. None other than Joey Wheeler. Tea clenched her teeth softly, annoyed that he interrupted her romantic moment with Yugi.
"What's above your chin and below your nose.....close!" Tea shouted as Joey laughed nervously.
"I'm just kidding." Joey said as Yugi smiled.
"Sure you are." Tea said as she stood up. "Well, I better get to bed."
"Goodnight Tea," Yugi said polietly.
"Goodnight Yugi," Tea said as she looked at Joey. "Goodnight Joey."
"...'Night Tea," Joey said as she walked back to the campsite. "She's so touchy sometimes!" Joey said to Yugi.
"I heard that Joey!" Tea yelled in the distance.
Yugi and Joey started laughing. Once they stopped, Yugi looked at Joey seriously.
"Hey Joey...have you ever been in love?" Yugi asked as Joey looked away from him.
"Me? Yeah, but it never worked out." Joey responded.
"Why?" Yugi asked as Joey put his hands behind his head.
"Well....the girl seems so perfect and then after you get to know them...they go into demon mode on ya." Joey said as they both laughed, but then Yugi stopped and smiled at Joey.
"So is this true...in Mai's case?" Yugi asked as Joey blushed.
"What!? I don't like Mai." Joey defended himself.
"Uh-huh....." Yugi said as Joey's face fell.
"Is it that obvious?" Joey asked as Yugi smirked.
"Maybe," he said as Joey shook his head.
"No, seriously....can you tell?" Joey asked as Yugi nodded.
"You guys argue like a married couple!" Yugi exclaimed as Joey blushed again.
"Alright, alright.." Joey glared at Yugi. "Don't get me started on Tea and you!"
It was Yugi's turn to blush. He smiled and looked back at the sky.
"At least I will admit that I like her." Yugi said.
"Yeah, but not to her face." Joey added as they both shared a good laugh.
"We better get to bed, it's probably going to be a long day." Yugi said as Joey nodded.
They both stood up and started walking back to the campsite in silence.
"See ya tomorrow Yug," Joey said as Yugi sighed.
"Goodnight Joey," Yugi said as he closed his eyes and prepared for tomorrow.
~To be continued.......~
A/N: Stay tuned for the next chappie, it should be a good one.
