Well, here's the final chapterthis was really fun to write! You guys have been great. Sorry it took me so long to update, but I've been slightly busy. Well, really busy actuallyI've been either on vacation or at my best friend's house. I actually have another fic coming soon, so look for it. I hope this wasn't too sappy for you ppl, but hey it is romance. I guess I have it on the brain a little since I watched several romantic comedies here recently. That and I went back to the site and read all your wonderful reviews again and felt a little guilty. A big thanks to Joey's girl. Who's been there throughout this whole thing. I love ya sis. Kaiba is mine! Damn you Tea! I love him just a little too much. Hee hee. Hope you all like this. Oh and I don't own YGO or the song" I'm with you" by Avril. Word of advicedon't sue until next week. I don't get my allowance until then. Well, I suppose you could sue me for the few pennies in my carbut that's pretty pointless.

Thanks to:
TrueRain ~ Thanks so much! Your encouragement means a lot to me. I hope that you enjoy this last chapter and that you'll come back and read my other works when I get them posted.
dancingdiva ~ You were my very first reviewer. Because of you I continued. Thanks so much. You have played a big role in the creation of this fic. You have to be one of my favorite reviewers. Thanks so much for seeing this one out.
Tasha3 ~ You're reviews are always so much fun to read. You're a great author, so why wouldn't they be? I'm glad that you think my plot was well planned. Actually I had to improvise a little on that. I got the idea because I thought that it would be funny to see Joey giving Kaiba advice on how to approach Tea. I do write for myself, that's why I do romance. A lot of people can't stand it, but it's so much fun. Thanks so much. I have thought of writing books in the futurethis is a start I suppose. I love writing ad it fills my time until school starts again. Thanks again so much!
LadySilverDragon ~ Well, the ending is a bit predictable. But hey it was fun. My favorite chapter was the first. I'm glad that you reviewed and that you liked it. Thanks so much!

"Kaiba, I'm sorry," Tea muttered into his chest, wailing as he held her gently, "I'm so sorry" He ran his hand down her back and through her hair, trying to soothe her nerves as well as his own. All he could think to do was to hold her to himself. Hold her and never let go. To embrace her as he wanted to for so long. He could think of nothing to say, and that was probably a good thing. He'd never been good at this sort of thing. He held her as she cried gently massaging her. Neither could have wished for anything better.
"Call me Seto," he growled finally, and gave her hand a small squeeze, "I love you." She looked up into his eyes, not sure what to expect. What he should feel as this moment. She wasn't even sure what she felt. She saw in those blue eyes, a light that she's never seen there before. It had played across his face the other night as they'd sat by the fire, but now it commanded his gaze. He seized her and she found herself in his arms. He kissed her, and grinned. He was so cute when he turned red. She knew that she was too.
It felt like that moment lasted forever to the pair. Neither would have minded if it had. But eventually they did break apart. Both were embarrassed but rather pleased all the same.
"This would look really bad if your friends were to show up right now," Kaiba smirked at her.
"I'd never hear the end of it from Joey," she grinned, "Nor Tristen." They lay on the floor in silence, both reflecting.
"What made you change your mind?" He asked her after a few moments.
"Mai Valentine." Tea said, "She knocked some sense into me. I have the bumps to prove it. I realized that no matter what my friends would still care."
Kaiba began to ask her who Mai was and how she'd gotten into the mansion, but thought better of it. He made a mental note to fix his security system though.
The gang arrived soon after. That was the only time she'd ever been sorry to see them. She hated to leave him. Mai drove up in a stunning blue corvette, Joey, Tristen, and Yugi with her. All looking very smug indeed to be riding with a beautiful lady in a flashy convertible.
"Mai, I didn't know you knew how to drive," Tea said, a little hesitantly.
"She doesn't," Joey said from the back, looking very green.
"Wheeler, I told you to lean out the side. You're not getting THAT all over my car," she frowned at him. "Get in Tea," she grinned.
"Let's just hope we don't have to make another U-turn," Joey winced. Mai slapped him.
"I have to say good-bye. I'll be right back," Tea said, and looked back at Kaiba framed in the doorway. They embraced, or at least their lips didwhile the rest watched in astonishment.
"Go Tea!" Mai yelled from the front seat, and Joey whooped. Yugi was stunned, words had utterly failed him. Tristen simply grinned slyly at Mai.
"Give you any ideas Mai?" Tristen asked her, grinning. She glared at him, and kicked him.
Tea embraced her friends as she got into the car. She knew what was coming. Especially with Joey and Tristen with them. She grinned. She wouldn't have had it any other way.
"And you called me a whipped dog!" Joey yelled to Kaiba, grinning, as they sped away. Tea and Mai both slapped him. Tea knew it was going to be a very long ride home.

I'm with youAvril Lavinge
I'm standing on the bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No foot steps on the ground
Listening but there's no sound
Isn't anyone trying to find me
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are but I
I'm with you
I'm looking for a place
I'm searching for a face
Is anybody here I know
Cause nothing's going right
And everything's a mess
And no one likes to be alone
Isn't anyone trying to find me
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are but I
I'm with you
I'm with you
Why is everything so confusing
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yeah yeah
