Finding Out About Us – Chapter Three
A gentle knock sounded at the door. "Tea? Mai? Are you ok?" A concerned if somewhat confused voice came from the other side.
Tea opened the door a crack and peeked through. "It's Yami!" She screamed. Then doubled over into another fit of laughter.
Opening the door a little wider Yami could she Mai standing up and wiping tears from her face. "Hey Yami." She waved. Yami looked around the room. Nothing was out of order, he couldn't feel any evil within, and Tea was laughing; yet Mai was crying? Something had to be out of place, but he couldn't sense what. "Do you need help with anything?" He asked cautiously.
Mai gulped trying to hold in the laughter. She could feel the corner's of her mouth twitching. "Umm...sure. Just a minute." Glancing over her shoulder "Hey Tea" she called. "You hungry?"
*At the bottom of the stairs*"I don't know Joey. He's been gone for a while now. Go check on him" Tristan said poking Joey in the side.
"Me!" Joey squawked. "Oh no. I'm not risking my life going into that hen house."
"What's wrong? Are you chicken?" Tristan teased.
"Chicken! I'll show you who's chicken!" Joey huffed, rolling up his sleeves. "Come on, you and me. Now!" Joey beckoned Tristan with his hand.
"Oh yeah! You're on!" Tristan shouted back at Joey.
Just then, a totally confused and bewildered Yami came down the stairs. "No mushrooms, no mushrooms." He muttered over and over.
Tristan let Joey out of the headlock and Joey let go of his waist. "No mushrooms?" They asked together.
Yami came out of his daze. "Yes, no mushrooms."
Joey glanced at Tristan. "Do you think he's finally cracked?" He whispered.
Tristan looked at Yami out of the corner of his eye. "Maybe all that two people in one body thing was just to much."
Yami interrupted their conversation. "Excuse me, but I assure you I have not cracked."
He stated, stressing the last word.
"What did you find out then?" Interrogated Tristan.
Taking a deep breath before he started, Yami recited exactly what Mai had told him.
"One large pizza, all the toppings, extra cheese, crispy crust, extra ham, half bacon, half pepperoni, absolutely NO mushrooms, and two diet soda's." He finished; gesturing to the twenty-dollar bill Mai had given him.
"Pizza, Yummy! I'm starved. Think you could get me a Hawaiian?" Joey licked his lips.
"Agh! Joey!" Tristan threw his hands up in the air. "Could you sick to the matter at hand here!" He said pointing upstairs.
"A guy needs to eat you know. And I haven't had anything since lunch." Joey tried his best to look hurt.
"I've never tried pizza before. What exactly is it?" Yami asked.
Tristan was really loosing his patience now. "Pizza!" He screamed jumping up and down waving his arms wildly. "You!" He yelled pointing at Joey. "The girls are doing who knows what up there and all you can think about is your stomach." Then he glared at Yami. "And you?! You come back with an order for pizza? Do we look like short order cooks?!"
"Tristan." Yami spoke, his voice calm. "Are we all not friends here?"
"Yami's right Tristan." Yugi spoke now. "We don't need to fight over this."
Tristan looked embarrassed over his outburst. "I'm sorry guys. It's just eating me alive not knowing what's happening up there." Without a warning, more laughter erupted from the bedroom as if to emphasize what Tristan was saying.
Joey sat down at the foot of the steps. "Yeah, tell me about it. But how are we supposed to find out what's going on in there if Yami couldn't?"
*Author's Note: Thanks for all the great reviews guys! They're really encouraging me. Somehow this story just keeps getting longer and longer. It was only intended to be one chapter. But hey, I'm having fun with it! LOL And thanks to those of you who are graciously allowing me to use your names. (Don't worry it won't be anything bad) I'll try and get the next chapter up soon. (Tristan is such a minor character most times that I wanted to give him some attention in this chapter. Hence his little 'temper tantrum')
