"Hey, Mai..." Tea starts asking looking down. "I have a question... um... I'm not saying that you would know, per say, but I'm not saying that you wouldn't know."
"What is it?" Mai asked her, getting rather bored of Tea's introduction.
"Okay... I wonder if you've kissed a boy before, and if you have is this kind of thing supposed to happen?"
Tea was blushing furiously, but the person everyone was staring at was Mai.
Mai looked all around the room just to see that their was no direction she could stare into without someone seeing her flushed sweaty face.
"Yes. I've kissed a boy." She said. "I've kissed lots of boys." "This sort of thing never happened to me. I can't believe you even considered that it could be a normal occurrence."
Mai picked up Tea's paddle ball and started playing with it, not taking her eyes off of it.
"Well then how come it happened to us?!" Tea demanded and resumed her crying.
Tristan, who was also avoiding eye contact with her suggested, "Maybe its something special about one of you. Probably Yugi. This probably has nothing to do with you Tea. It's probably something to do with the millennium puzzle."
Tristan looked at Joey hoping for back-up.
Joey provided no such back-up because he had fallen asleep in Tea's bed.
"I'm bored!" Yugi complained.
"Then go do something." Tristan replied.
"There's nothing to do." Yugi whined.
"Why don't you... read a book" suggested Tristan.
Tea looked up in horror all of the sudden.
"Okay!" exclaimed Yugi. "I know just what book I'll read."
Yugi dove under Tea's bed and grabbed her diary. He surfaced and proceeded to read the most recent page out loud. "Dear diary, this Friday I'm going to a party with my friends. It looks like it could be dangerous, I can't wait! Yugi always gets so serious and cute in dangerous situations... I just want to take him right there..."
Tea snatched the book out of his hand. "That's mine! Don't mess with that. Find something else to read!"
Yugi started to cry. Tea looked around to see if she could get any sort of help. Tristan was blushing and trying very hard not to laugh, and Mai was too.
"Ahh! I've had enough of this! One of you take him home! I just can't deal with babysitting right now, I've been enough traumatized already."
"Okay, ha ha," Tristan gave up on trying not to laugh. "I'll take him home with me too, Joey is spending the night anyway, what's one more gonna hurt?"
"How about we meet up tomorrow somewhere?" Suggested Mai.
"Alright" said Tea.
Tristan looked at Joey, "How about noon so Joey has plenty of time to sleep this off."
"Okay." Said Tea.
"Let's meet at the park." Suggested Mai. "By the blue benches near the lake."
"Alright." Replied Tea who was clearly out of it. Note the lack of friendship rants.
"Come on Tristan, I'll drive you two home." Mai looked at Joey thoughtfully.
Tristan and Mai picked up the sleeping Joey and carried him to Mai's car.
