Seto:Get out.
He pointed at the door. Tea, unwillingly, walked slowly home; six blocks in the middle of a snowy night.
At Mai's house, the rest of the gang had gathered, talking amongst themselves about what just happened.
Yugi:Frankly, that was more than I needed to know. I don't think I'll ever look at either of them the same way again.
Joey:Well, FRANKLY, I didn't need to see you making out with my sister in a corner.
Yugi and Serenity sit down on the couch. Then they each slide abruptly away from eachother. Ryou seemed to be very thoughtful. He just stood near the fireplace, staring into nothingness.
DING DONG
Mai:Come in!
The door opens. It's Tea.
Bakura:What's the problem? Your boyfriend kick you out?
Tea:I dunno. Can someone drive me home? It's too cold to walk the rest of the way.
Mai:Just stay here. We can all stay. It IS Christmas time.
Everyone laid off Tea and she went straight to bed. It seemed a little early but she wanted to lay in a nice warm bed and think.
Downstairs, Yami had an idea. He suggested calling up Kaiba and inviting him and Mokuba over to finish the party. Mai didn't want to. "I haven't decorated yet." But everyone overpowered her.
Tristan:Yeah, and he can share the bed with Tea!
Tea heard her name from upstairs. 'Great, now they're talking about me. I didn't do anything.' She rolled over, fluffed her pillow and fell asleep.
Half an hour later, she woke up from a most wonderful dream(from her point of view, if you know what I mean) to hear the doorbell ring. She listened attentively. The voices were all so happy and joyful.
Seto:Hey. Can I just ask one thing before I come in?
Yugi:Tea's upstairs in the guest room...
Seto:That wans't funny. I want to know why you wanted me over here.
Ryou:Friendship...
He said it in a way Bakura would have, sarcastic and harsh but also with a cloudy tone that made everyone chill. He seemed oblivious but completely alert(speaking from experience here). They all moved sideways, slowly, cautiously, to the kitchen and left Ryou to his thoughts. He watched them go, seemingly undaunted.
Kaiba:Where can I put Mokuba? I think he's still tired since I had to wake him up.
Mai:You can put him in my bed, but try to avoid Spacey over there.
Joey:Where's the egg nog? I'm thirsty and since we got kicked out of the mansion...
They all started whispering because Seto was just upstairs.
Serenity:Don't look at us, we're not the ones who... Who knows what... On his precious floor. It was just a kiss.
Yugi:Right, and nothing more.
Slowly, Serenity's hand moves closer to Yugi's.
Mai:So, who wants fruit cake?
She yelled this to avert her own attention from what was happening right beside her. 'Sickening.' She thought.
Seto walked back in and nothing more was said about the disturbance. Everyone walked back into the living room. Grabbing Ryou, Bakura decided it was time for sleep and it was his rule that everyone had to go to bed when he got tired, not before and not after.
They all found something to sleep in(well, Serenity was the only one who had to find anything considering...) and Mai pulled out the sofa-bed. Everyone found a spot and night time fell over them like a mist.
No one seemed to notice Ryou, who was still gazing into nothing at all. Bakura, devillish as he is, got out of bed in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep(apparently, he wasn't tired after all) and got a bowl full of water from the kitchen.

Joey:Eew. What the hell happened-
Tristan:Wasn't me.
Yami:It'll be hard to tell who did this but I can tell you whose fault it is.
Then, pointing to the reclining chair, everyone saw Bakura sleeping snugly and dry as ever. Everyone got up, got dressed, and grabbed the bowl that Bakura had stupidly left on the side table.
Tea walked tiredly down the stairs.
Tea:What's that smell?
Then, seeing the couch, she stammered a simple "Oh" and ran for the bathroom, her face turning puke-green on the way.
Yugi:It wasn't our fault!
***
A few hours later, after Bakura had woken up and screamed, everyone was sitting at the table eating breakfast. Mai walked down the stairs, a single forgotten curler still in her golden hair.
Mai:What the freakin' hell did you do to my beautiful living room set?!
Kaiba:Glad I slept in the guest bed... Did I just say that out loud?
Everyone sweatdrops. That was just the thing nobody needed to hear. It was only 10 AM and their morning had already been eventful enough.
They all finished scarfing down their eggs and grabbed their coats. There were some hasty good byes and an alarming slamming of doors before the house was completely empty, other than Kaiba, Tea and Mai.
