Anime: Ohayo everyone! I should be studying for my mid-term exams, but I decided to post up this chapter instead. Before the chapter begins, I just want to thank you guys for reviewing my story. Arigato! You guys are the best!
Kotori Susayki: Arigato!
zeynel: Thank you! About Laga's sister's identity, keep that name in mind. She'll make a special appearance several chapters from now.
DJ: Thanks for your reviews! Hmm, I might allow Laga and Yugi to get together in this fic…..
Laga: What do you mean, might?!
Anime: You never know, I might make this into a Yugi/Téa fic.
Laga: Y-you wouldn't!
Anime: I could if I wanted to, I'm the authoress. *Laga stares at her in shock* Gotcha. Don't worry, I'm only joking. I wouldn't turn this into a Yugi/Téa fic. Then again…..
Laga: AH!!!!!!!!! *Runs away in horror*
Anime: Hee, I love teasing her. Anyways, onto the fic!
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or Oh My Goddess! Kazuki Takahashi owns Yu-Gi-Oh! and Kosuke Fujishima owns Oh My Goddess! All I got is a computer that doesn't have Microsoft PowerPoint or a floppy drive. Ah! The horror!

Téa Gardener walked down the street leading up to Yugi's house with a luminous smile on her face. 'Yugi is going to love the cookies I made for him!' She thought, holding the tiny package in her hands close to her chest, being careful not to crush the cookies. 'I can't wait to see the look on his face when I give these to him. I know how much he loves chocolate chip cookies, especially mine! And we're going to have a great time at the festival, I just know it.'
Téa was absolutely thrilled when Yugi said that he'd go to the festival with her. After pecking Yugi on the cheek, she went home and began making the cookies just for him. In 40 minutes, the cookies came out of the oven and were cooling on the cooling racks. While waiting for the cookies to cool down, Téa went to her room to put on her pink cotton kimono, put the pink hair clip Yugi gave her for her birthday in her hair, and spray on her perfume (Pink by Victoria's Secret of course!) When she was done, she went to the kitchen, took the cookies off the cooling racks and into a small box. Taking the box in her arms and slinging her purse onto her shoulders, Téa put on her flip-flops, locked the door to her house, and began walking to Yugi's house.
'We'll play some of the carnival games and eat cotton candy.' Téa grinned, thinking about her favorite treat. 'Then we'll hang out wishes on the bamboo poles and go on the rides. Then we'll go on the ferris wheel and watch the fireworks go off and I'll finally tell Yugi how much he means to me.' Téa blushed, contemplating what she was going to tell Yugi tonight.
Two years ago, Téa had a secret crush on Yami, the spirit in the Millennium Puzzle. Reflecting over her feelings for the ex-pharaoh, Téa realized that she wasn't in love with Yami, but instead was in love with Yugi, her childhood friend and the young man who saved her countless of times from evildoers and perverts. It took her two years to gather enough courage to tell Yugi how she feels, and this was the night she was going to tell him!
Arriving at Yugi's doorstep, Téa rang the doorbell.
**
Hearing the doorbell echoing throughout the house, Yugi finished putting on his dark blue cotton kimono. Running his comb through his tri-colored hair, Yugi went downstairs to open the door. 'Where's Laga?' He thought, running past various rooms to answer the door.
Grabbing his keys on the counter, Yugi unlocked the door. "Hey Téa!" He said to her, letting her inside.
"Hi Yugi." She replied, taking off her sandals and leaving them by the doorway, closing the door behind her. They went into the living room and talked about final exams, until Téa decided to give Yugi the cookies she baked for him.
"Here," Téa said, holding the small package in front of Yugi. "This is for you. You know, to celebrate Tanabanta."
Yugi took the white box from Téa and opened it. Sitting neatly in stacks of three, were more than a 2 dozen chocolate chip cookies. The pleasant smell of chocolate wafted through the living room, bringing a smile to Yugi's face. "Wow! Thanks Téa, these are my favorites!"
"I know, and you're welcome." Téa smiled at Yugi as he bit into the cookie.
"I'll get us some milk to go with these." Yugi said, heading towards the kitchen. Just as soon as the kitchen door swung shut, Téa heard a crash coming from upstairs.
**
Téa ran upstairs to see what happened upstairs. 'I know I heard something-' A loud thump coming from behind the door that led down into the Turtle Game Shop, interrupted her thoughts. She ran to the door and opened it. She walked down the stairway and into the game shop, checking to see what happened.
Near one of the shelves, was a pile of various games. The pile shaking slightly, Téa could see a little girl emerge from the heap of games. "Last time I'll let my curiosity get the best of me." Téa heard the little girl mumble. The little girl stood up and smoothed down her blue skirt, her back facing Téa .
How did she get in here? The shop isn't open for another week!' Téa thought, remembering that Yugi's grandpa was in Tokyo for the rest of the week. "What are you doing here little girl?" Téa asked her.
The little girl's hair whipped around her wildly as she turned to face Téa. "I'm not a little girl!" She cried out angrily. "I know I'm short, but I'm not a kid! I'm 17 years old! "
Téa was taken aback by her outburst. "Well sorry!" Téa said sarcastically. "It was an honest mistake, no need to throw a tantrum over it." Téa shot back at her. "You still haven't answered my question, what are you doing here?"
"Why should I tell you?" She began picking the games scattered on the floor, evidently still upset over Téa's 'little girl' comment.
Téa fumed at her childishness. "You may say you're not a kid, but sure act like one! Now tell me what you're doing here!"
"Why is it so important for you to know?" She asked, putting the games on the shelf.
"Look, I'm trying to be nice here!" Téa yelled.
"If that's you being nice, I'd hate to see you when you're mad." She said calmly.
Téa was getting ready to scream in frustration. "Look, I'm giving you a chance to explain what you're doing here, before I call the police and tell them to arrest you for breaking and entering!"
"Well you don't have any evidence proving that I broke into the shop, seeing as all the windows are still intact and the door is still locked." She replied coolly. Téa noticed that the windows were still intact and yelled when she tried to open the door and found it locked. The girl in the blue dress sighed. "If you must know, I'm from out of town and I'm stopping by to visit Yugi."
Téa studied the outfit the girl wore. It was most definitely something a normal person wouldn't wear. She quickly contemplated where she had seen this type of clothing worn before. She soon made the connection, when she remembered passing a very colorful sign on the way to Yugi's house. "You're not one of those circus clowns are you?" Téa asked her.
Téa smirked, enjoying the flabbergasted look on the other girl's face, but immediately regretted it when the girl grabbed a pair of sai from a bin labeled, 'Wooden Swords, tonfas, sai, staffs, and rubber nunchuks: Everything your little samurai needs!' 'Maybe I shouldn't have asked her that.' Téa thought, grabbing a wooden sword.
**
Yugi came out of the kitchen, balancing three cups of milk in his hands. "Hey Téa-" Yugi stopped, noticing that she wasn't in the room. "Téa!" Yugi called out to her, putting the glasses onto the coffee table.
Suddenly, Yugi heard shouting coming from upstairs. He went up the stairs and saw that the door that led down into the shop was open. He could also hear various clanking noises. He walked towards the door, wondering what was going on.
"How dare you call me that!" The clanking noise intensified. Yugi ran to the door and down the steps when he heard Laga's voice. Coming to a stop at the foot of the stairs, Yugi watched Laga attack Téa relentlessly with her wooden sai while Téa was doing her best to avoid and block her attacks using a wooden sword.
"Calm down Laga!" Yugi ran behind Laga and wrapped his arms around her waist, pinning her arms to her sides. Téa sighed in relief and put away her wooden sword. Laga still held onto her sai. "Laga, please give me the sai." Yugi quietly pleaded with her. Laga squirmed in his arms for a few seconds, but soon leaned against his chest, letting the sai drop to the floor. "Thank you," Yugi said to her, as he picked up the sai and put them back in the bin. "Now, will you explain to me what happened?"
"First of all, who is she Yugi?" Téa asked him. "She refused to answer me when I asked."
"This is Laga, she's a friend of mine that's visiting from out of town." Yugi said to her. "So tell me what happened." He looked at to Téa .
"When you went into the kitchen, I heard something upstairs. I went to check it out and I heard several more noises coming from the game shop. So I went down and I saw her underneath a pile of board games and puzzles." said Téa.
Yugi turned to Laga. "Are you alright?" He asked her.
"Yes," She replied. "But I shouldn't have been in the shop in the first place. My curiosity got the better of me, so I went down into the shop. I was looking at the games, and there was this particular game I wanted to check out. I tried taking it off the shelf, but I ended up pulling it and many others down with me. Then, Téa came downstairs……and she called me a little kid."
"You're so small!" Téa retorted. "How could I not help thinking you were a little kid? After I tell her that, she blows up at me because I had mistaken her for a kid."
Yugi understood why Laga blew up at Téa. People also used to think that he was a little kid, even though he was in high school. So many people would pull him to the side and direct him to the nearest junior high or elementary school. Yugi frowned at that memory.
Looking at Laga, he also understood why Téa mistaken her for a kid. 'Laga's so small. She's only up to my chin.' Yugi thought.
"Then, she refused to tell me what she was doing in the shop." said Téa.
"And threatened to call the police and have me arrested for breaking and entering." Laga said. "But since she didn't have any proof that I broke into the shop, she stopped threatening to put me behind bars."
"But you still didn't tell me who you were! If you told me who you were, we wouldn't have fought!" Téa reasoned.
"I did tell you I was from out of town and I was visiting Yugi. If you didn't call me a circus clown, then I wouldn't have attacked you." Before Téa could object, Laga said, "But, if I didn't lose my temper, I wouldn't have tried to hurt you. I'm sorry." She smiled apologetically.
Téa was a little started at Laga's apology. "Er, it's okay. It's forgotten." She replied.
Yugi felt relieved that the two of them patched things up. "Hey, why don't we head back into the living room and wait for the others to arrive?" He asked the two girls.
"Others?" Laga asked, cocking her head to the side.
"Yeah, my friends are stopping by and we're going to the-" Yugi stopped, realizing that he failed to mention to Laga about his plans for tonight. 'I have to go, but I don't want to leave her alone.' An idea popped into his head, solving his dilemma. "Say Laga, Téa, me and a bunch of our friends are going to the Tanabanta festival tonight. Wanna come along?" He asked her.
"Are you sure? Wouldn't I be intruding?" asked Laga.
Before Téa could get a word in edgewise, Yugi replied, "No, I'm sure no one will mind if you come with. Now, you can meet my friends and get to know them."
"I'd like that very much." Laga said, smiling gently.
Téa coughed loudly, getting Yugi's and Laga's attention. "We better go back to the living room to wait for everyone." She suggested, heading towards the stairs. Yugi and Laga nodded in agreement, following her. Suddenly, Laga stepped on the hem of her dress, causing her to fall flat on her face.
Yugi went to Laga's side and helped her onto her feet. "Are you alright?" His voice filled with concern, his hands clasped with hers.
"Yes, I'm fine." Laga replied. With that said, Yugi let go of her hands and was yanked by his collar up the stairs, dragging Laga with him. Looking up at Téa, Yugi shrugged sheepishly, as they went into the upstairs hallway.
**
Téa looked behind her and saw that Yugi and Laga were still holding hands! She let go of Yugi and stormed down the hallway. Yugi let go of Laga's hand and chased after Téa. Laga closed the door and leaned against it. A few seconds later, a door downstairs was slammed.
Laga knew that Téa was the girl in the picture standing very close to Yugi. Laga still wasn't sure if Téa was Yugi's girlfriend or not, but she could tell that Téa had strong feelings for him, just by the way she acted earlier. 'She probably thinks I'm trying to take Yugi from her.' Laga thought. 'Great,' Laga sighed. 'I've only been here for a little more than an hour, and I think I just made a 'rival' here on earth.' Laga walked down the hallway and down the steps, deciding to lie down on the couch and wait for Yugi's friends to arrive.
