Finding Out About Us – Chapter Five
Grandpa picked his through the sleeping figures on the living room floor until he reached the couch. Patting Yugi on the arm, Grandpa tried to wake him up. "Yugi." He whispered. "Yugi, I have to go now." He added a bit louder.
"Mmmph." Was Yugi's reply. Rolling over, Yugi sat up groggily stretching his arms and yawning before opening his eyes. "What time is it?" He mumbled.
"It's a little after five." Grandpa replied. "I'm going to the trader's convention to see some new cards remember?"
Yugi nodded. "And you need me to mind the shop today. I remember."
"Good. I'll be back late tonight, so you'll have to close to."
After Grandpa left Yugi laid on the couch a bit longer before heading to his room. Setting his alarm clock to go off in two hours he flopped on his bed. Closing his eyes, Yugi wondered for the hundredth time that night what Mai and Tea had found so funny.
"You could just ask them." A voice came from nowhere.
Yugi's eyes widened in disbelief. "Are you kidding Yami? That would be like...like" He couldn't even think of a fate that might be of an equal suffering.
Yami chuckled. "Come now, you've dueled in the shadow realm. Surely this could not be as bad as that."
Frowning, Yugi shook his head. "Well, I didn't really know what I was facing then." He answered. "And sometimes not knowing is a lot better than knowing."
Yami was even more puzzled now. "Tea and Mai are your friends. What reason could you ever have to be afraid of them?"
"Because they're girls Yami, and that's what they do."
Yami was even more lost than before. From what he remembered, there was nothing frightening about girls. Things couldn't have changed that much since ancient Egypt. So he tried to help once more. "I could ask them for you."
"No offence Yami, but the last time you helped we ended up with pizza." Then Yugi immediately followed with an "I'm sorry. It's just that I hate not knowing."
Yami nodded. "It'll be better tomorrow." He said reassuringly even though he still hadn't a clue what was going on.
*That morning outside the game shop*
Tea hopped off the bus and glanced down the street. She could see that Mai was already standing outside the game shop waiting for her.
"So you made it after all." Mai smiled. "I was beginning to wonder."
"Are you kidding! I wouldn't miss it for the world." Tea giggled.
"Shall we?" Mai motioned towards the door to Grandpa's game shop.
The little bells that hung above the doorway clanked together as the girls opened the door and Yugi waved to them. "I didn't think you'd be here this early." He said glancing at his watch. It was only nine.
"Well, you know what they say. The early bird catches the worm!" Tea smiled innocently.
"I have to look after the store today. But go on in." Yugi motioned toward the living room.
Mai and Tea walked into the living room. Tristan lay on the couch snoring and the scattered remains of pop cans, dueling cards, a few blankets and an empty pizza box told the story of what happened last night. "Hey!" Mai exclaimed. "That was our pizza!"
Just then Joey walked in from the kitchen. "Hey Yugi, you're out of milk!" He called before noticing Mai and Tea.
"Why Joey, I thought you had more modesty than that." Mai called.
Turning around Joey noticed Tea and Mai standing on the other side of the living room. Grabbing a blanket from the floor he quickly wrapped it around himself. "Could yea give a guy a little privacy or something." He blushed.
Mai raised an eyebrow. "Well maybe you shouldn't be parading around in your boxers then."
Joey glared back. "You could at least give a guy some warning."
"We didn't interrupt anything did we Joey?" Tea added suggestively.
It took Joey a moment before he caught on to what Tea was hinting at, then he turned even redder at the notion.
"Come on Tea, maybe we should give the boys their privacy." Mai giggled.
Once upstairs in Yugi's room both girls erupted into full-blown laughter. "You don't think that we gave it away do you? Asked Mai once she caught her breath.
Tea shook her head and smiled. "Nope. It would take a lot more hinting then that before any of them caught on. But some how I think some of those authors are a little confused about Joey's physic."
Mai snickered. "Yeah, and those boxers. They're hardly the sexy underwear we've been reading about!"
Tea turned on the computer. "Where do you want to start today, with Yugi and Yami?"
Mai smiled slowly. "I've got a better idea. Let's see if we can find one about Joey and Tristan together."
Tea nodded while scrolling down the screen. "Yeah, let me see, Joey and you....Joey and some other girl, Joey and you again...Joey and me...ugh. There sure is a lot about Joey. Oh wait, here's one it's about...Oh my god!" Tea stopped.
Mai stood up. "About what?" She questioned.
"It's about Joey and Kaiba!" Tea gasped.
