DING DONG! DING DONG!
Tea's mother rushed to the door and opened it. What she found was this: Mai with her arms crossed, tapping her fingers, and Joey with his eyes half- closed leaning against Tristan.
Tea's mom kind of scowled at the sight of them, but then forced a smile. "Hello there."
"Hi! Is Tea alright?" Asked Tristan. "She sounded really upset when she called us."
"She called you?... That's odd. Maybe her babysitting job isn't going very well. Why don't you go help her out then."
"This way." Tea's mom motioned for them to follow her up the stairs to Tea's room.
"By the way..." Tea's mom asked as she was walking. "What's wrong with Joey tonight?"
"Oh... he's just really sleepy." Explained Tristan.
"O-kay..." Tea's mom said, only half believing him.
They found Tea waiting for them in her own doorway with a neurotic expression.
"Well, you can stay until it's time for her client to go home." Said Tea's mom suspiciously.
She opened the door it's widest and walked away.
"Tea, what's all this about?" Asked Mai.
"JOOOOOEEEEEEEYYYYY!" Yugi shouted as he threw himself around his leg in a hug.
"And how does this little tyke know my name?" Joey asked her as he picked up Yugi, like a cat, by the scruff of his neck.
"I'm Yugi! I'm Yugi! Don't you know me, Joey?!" Yugi shouted happily.
"No way! You're not Yugi!" asserted Tristan. "Yugi is a bit taller than you."
"He's telling the truth." Admitted Tea with a sigh. I was with him... and this... happened."
"You're Yugi?" Joey looked at teeny Yugi skeptically.
"Yes! You got dit Joey! You're so smaht!" Yugi swung himself forward and hugged Joey around his neck.
"So... how did all of this happen? What were you doing right when this happened?" asked Joey.
"Well, you see... after you and Tristan went home, Yugi and I went out for ice cream."
Yugi smiled at the memory of the ice cream.
"Then we were walking home together, and Mai offered us a ride. Then we said no we didn't want one because we were happy to walk together... you know it was just so nice out."
Yugi sighed grouchily."
"Then we were saying goodnight and he turned into a little bitty kid." Tea sighed miserably and Yugi stuck out his tongue in protest.
"We must be missing something." Remarked Tristan thoughtfully.
"Well..." said Tea.
"Yow war!" exclaimed Yugi with digust.
"K, see dis is 'ow it habbened" Yugi jumped from Joey's neck to Tea's bed.
"She was all like.. oh Yugi! I had such a wonderful time! Thank you for takin' me out! I wuv you!" Yugi stuck out his arms and made a bunch of kissy faces.
"And den she kissed me! Right 'ere!" Yugi pointed at his lips and made gagging noises. "And den POOF! I'm mall little and stuff!"
Tea and Mai looked mortified, Joey was trying really hard not to laugh at Yugi because Tea was there, and Tristan looked shocked.
Tea started to cry and retreated back to her closet. "I'm a pedofile." She whimpered.
"You go in there and apologize right now, mister!" Mai barked at Yugi.
"No, I won't!" Exclaimed Yugi stubbornly.
"Do it or I won't be your friend anymore!" Joey reasoned with him.
"But why???!" Yugi looked hurt at him. "She's just a stupid girl!"
"Girls have feelings too." Tristan told him.
"I don't care! Girs are ucky! And dey got cooties."
"Fine. No-one's talking to you!" Mai stated to him. At that moment everyone turned away from him, except for Tea who was still in her closet.
Yugi waited... and waited and waited... for an entire five seconds!
"Fine! I'll do it! But dits not cuz I wanna."
Yugi walked into Tea's closet. "sorry!" He barked and walked out.
"Say it like you mean it." Ordered Joey.
Yugi growled and went back to the closet. "I'm sooorrrryyy!" He said slower this time, rolling his eyes.
"Do it right." Tristan coached.
"Fine!" Yugi griped.
"I'm sorry I said you were yucky!" Yugi told her crossly.
"I think that's the best you're going to get. Come on out of there, Tea!" said Mai.
"It's okay, I'm sorry I... kissed you." Tea said back to Yugi.
Both walked out of the closet.
Tea's mother rushed to the door and opened it. What she found was this: Mai with her arms crossed, tapping her fingers, and Joey with his eyes half- closed leaning against Tristan.
