Chapter 3

Colors, lots and lots of colors flashing before Tea's eyes, swirling around her. It seemed like days that she was there, not even standing on anything, just floating, with nothing happening.

But Tea wasn't bored. She was the opposite, while thoughts like, 'What's going on?' and 'Where am I?' flew through her head, and sometimes when she became sick of those thoughts, she thought of random ones, like, 'I wonder how Erica is doing?' or 'Who would get to be in the Nutcracker now?'

The main idea that was passing through her troubled mind was 'Who killed me?' That was the most worrisome thought of all. She had never been mean to anyone, or done anything rude.

Finally, she just decided to look out at the scenery and try not to think of anything at all. And that was when something interesting happened..

Everything turned black.

Tea crashed into the dark ground, and after a few minutes of shock, pulled herself into a sitting position.

She peered into the misty darkness, looking for some kind of light, and, finding none, tried to stand up.

"Oww!" She yelped. Her foot was twisted. 'How can my foot be twisted? I thought I was dead..' She thought.

"Help!," She shouted, calling through the dank-smelling air. "HELP!" She yelled for a few minutes, and then rested her voice.

"HELP!!!!!!!!!" She shouted again. "HELP!" Through the fog, Tea noticed a figure that seemed to float through the mist.

"What is it?" The person said grumpily. He came closer, and closer, and after a few minutes, Tea was finally able to see him.

"Yami?"

(I was going to leave it here, but. that's WAY too short, like, 269 words.)

"Do I know you?" Yami asked with a surprised look on his face.

"What do you mean, of course you know me! I'm Tea, remember?" She said worriedly.

"I don't recognize any Teas..." Yami said slowly.

"Did Yugi tell you say that?" Tea asked.

"Who's this Yugi person?" Yami inquired. He sat down beside Tea. "Are you feeling alright?"

"I'm feeling fine." She said sarcastically. "First this girl shot me, then I was stuck in a bunch of colors, then black, THEN you, who is my friend, but you don't know who I am!"

"You don't have to yell." Yami grumbled, putting his hands over his ears.

"Fine. But could you at least tell me where I am?" Tea asked.

"In the Millennium Puzzle."

"WHAT?!?"

"In_the_Millenium_Puzzle. Why does that surprise you?" Yami asked.

"B-b-but, that's Yugi's! Where is he then?" Tea shouted.

"What do you mean? No one's ever been able to put the puzzle together before.." Yami said in a puzzled voice.

"Huh? But Yugi did! I remember!" Tea exclaimed.

"Are you sure you're talking about the right puzzle?"

"Yes...." Tea said slowly. She thought for a few seconds. "Maybe..maybe Yugi hasn't solved it yet... But that would mean that I would have gone.... back in time..." She said this very, very slowly, trying to figure it out. Then she nodded vigorously. "Yes, that's what must have happened!" After those thoughts registered in her head, she shouted,

"I DON'T WANNA BE BACK IN TIME!!!!" Tea thundered, and thought, 'I didn't even get to finish "the Care and Keeping of Friendship." The book was just getting good too..'

"Calm down!" Yami said, trying to keep his voice restrained. 'How loud can she be?' He thought.

Tea took a couple of deep breaths. A few minutes later, she said, "Ok, so tell me Yami, don't you get bored sitting in here for a long time?"

"No." Yami started walking away.

"Wait! Don't leave me here!" Tea ran up and grabbed Yami's arm, just to make sure that he wouldn't go away. "Besides, Friends don't do that."

"I never said we were friends!" Yami exclaimed.

"Well, we are in the future, so.... we're friends now!" Tea smiled. "So where do you usually go?"

"I'm going to sleep, and You aren't coming. You are leaving NOW!" Yami thundered.

"You were sleeping? Sorry..." Tea said in a small voice.

"That's alright. But what happened to you? No one's ever come here before...."

"I was walking in the snow after shopping, and I thought I saw a shortcut. But it was an ally-way. I turned around to go back to the street, and.... yeah..."

"Oh, I see. Well, I guess you can come with me." Yami led Tea to where he usually waited.

"This room is... very unfriendly." Tea said, peering around Yami's room with a very scared look on her face.

"What's wrong with it?" Yami asked.

"N-n-nothing..." Tea looked around Yami's soul room, and then went out into the hall again.

"Hey, what's that room?" Tea pointed at a pink door.

"I don't know, I've never seen it before."

"But you live here!" Tea opened the door, and looked inside. "Ooh! I like it! It's sooooo cool!"

"Hmmmmmm.. I think that's your soul room, Tea. Do you like it?"

"I just said I did! It's AWSOME!!!!!" She ran inside, then slammed the door shut in Yami's face. A couple of seconds later, she opened the door, and said,

"I'm sorry, do you want to come in? It's so rude for friends to shut doors in each other's faces..."

"Yes, I guess I will come in." Yami walked in, and looked around, and became immediately disgusted with all of the pink.

"I take it your favorite color is pink." He said, stating the obvious.

"Yes." Tea laid down on her (pink) bed, and picked up a bottle of nail polish from her side table.

Yami sighed. It would be very different having a girl around...

*~*~*~*~*~*~****

it's the end of the chapter! Was it good? I dunno exactly what's gonna happen next, I don't know if I want Yugi to come directly into the picture, or if I want yami and Tea to get to know each other first. What do you think?

Review!

Till next chapter,
