When they got home and to the porch door, Seto had put his hands over Tea's eyes.

"Seto? What are you doing?" Tea said with a little jolt.

"Hang on, almost there and..." He said as he opened the door.

"SURPRIZE!" Seto lifted his hands to reveal a surprise birthday party. Her eyes lit up to see gifts and a pretty cake. Her friends were all there too.

"Is this all for me?" she asked as she walked into the room.

"Nope! Fooled'ya, its all for me!" Joey said in sarcasm. Yugi came up to her with roses in his hand. Tea blushed and took them.

"They're beautiful Yugi!" she said. Quickly, she kissed him on his cheek. Whiched caused Joey and Tristan to 'ooo' playfully. Looking to Seto, she said.

"Oh THANK YOU!" Giving Seto a hug, the party began.


Everyone was talking, eating, and having a great time. Tea's grandmother's cookies were a big hit.
DING

DANG

DONG

The doorbell rang. Tea got up and walked to the door.

"Coming!" she sang as she reached the door. When she opened it, she found a gang of kids in the door.

"Oh my god! Its you guys!" she said as she let them in. A tall raven haired kid named Duke checked her out.

"Damn, 16 huh? Look'n fine!" He said as he handed her a card.

"Duke! Uhg! Happy birthday Tea!." A younger girl, named Rebecca, handed her a shiny pink gift. Tea and Rebecca hugged. Another tall boy named Malik followed her, handing Tea a box of chocolates.

"I really didn't know what to get you," he said sheepishly.

"I love chocolates! Thanks!." Tea said as she opened the box and smelled the fresh chocolate. "Here, I'll bring them to your grandma Tea." Serenity said as she carefully took the roses.

"Ok guys! Make your selves at home!" Tea said. They all smiled and headed to the snacks.


Once again, everyone ate, drank, played games, and talked their hearts out! Soon the lights went dim and Tea's grandma walked out of the kitchen with a chocolate iced cake with 16 candles lit on it.

"All right children, its time for cake!" she announced as she set it on the table. Tea sat down right in front of the cake.

"Make a wish!" Rebecca said with a smile. Tea smiled back and blew out the candles. Everyone clapped.

"Ok, who wants a piece?" Tea's grandma asked with a knife in her hand, cutting the cake.

"The biggest should go to Tea." Ryou said as he received his piece.

"Geez. Ryou, you wanna make me fat?" Tea replied as she got a huge piece. "I'll never finish this Nonna!" she said as she picked up her fork. Ryou looked a bit bashful after saying such a thing.

"Then. Let me help Ya!" Joey said as he sat on her lap and grabbed a fork.

"Joey! You can have some but get off me!" she said playfully. He scooted over and started eating the cake. He didn't realize the death glare coming from Seto.

"Prime example of the American appetite," Tristan sighed.

"Nonna, um..can I open my gifts?" Tea said with the old puppy eyes. Everyone smiled.

"Si bella," She said as she picked up the remaining of the cake. Tea got up and rushed to her gifts. Everyone followed and found a place in the living room to watch.
She picked up a small purple gift from Serenity. Tea opened it and found the dolphin necklace that she saw earlier.

"Serenity! This is the one I wanted! Thanks!" she said as she put it on. Serenity smiled, then blushed from getting a positive wink from Seto. Joey and Tristan both got up and handed Tea 2 packs of Duel Monster cards.

"We really didn't know what to get you but Yugi suggested it." They both said together. Tea took the packs and smiled.

"I'll open them later." She said as she put them on the coffee table.

"Good! Because I really don't want to find out that you got a good card!" Joey said, sitting down. Tea looked at the white roses that Yugi gave her, and then picked up a gold present. It was from Yami. The gift was heavy and was as thick as a book. She tore off the wrapping paper and inside was a gold book with the eye of Anubis on the cover. In the corner of the book, it had her name in silver.

"It's a diary. I know it's big, but the Egyptians use to write in books like that." Yami said. His face turned red as a smiled appeared on Tea's face. Tea's grandma stood up and handed her a box that looked like clothes were inside.

"Hope you like it dear" she.

She opened the box and inside was a gold pajama gown. It had long sleeves and had silver lace at the bottom. Tea took it out of the box and held it up. She smiled brightly.

"Grazie Nonna." She replied as she held the gown to her.

"I'm gonna try it on right now!" she took off to her room.

"Um, does anyone know what they just said? Cuz I wanna know." Duke asked.

"They were complementing the dress genius." Marik told him with a smile.

"You know Italian? But you're Japanese!" a puzzled look appeared on Duke's face. He heard footsteps and saw Tea walk in.
"How do I look guys?" she said as she twirled around. Seto looked at her hard. It almost looked like she had wings.

"It suits you," Yami said as he looked at her. She blushed scarlet.

"Here, why don't you pop this into the DVD and we'll watch it. Its called Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Seto said as he handed it to Tea. She then got up and popped in the CD and pressed play.

"Oh! I've wanted to see this one." Ryou said as he sat back in his chair.

"What ever." Joey said as he sat back on the couch.


An hour has passed and Tea was looking really tired. Seto notice this and put a pillow on his lap.

"You wanna lie down on my lap?" he whispered to her. She nodded and rested her head on the pillow on his lap. She immediately fell asleep. Seto couldn't help but smile down at her. He stroked her hair gently as he watched the movie. Yami looked at his watch and then got up.

"It's getting late, we should go now." Everyone but Seto and Tea got up.

"Good night everyone." Seto said. "Yami, thanks again" he added.

"Only for a friend" he said with a smile. He then walked out the door with the others.
Seto just sat there looking down at the sleeping Tea.

"Seto, I'm going to bed. You should too." Nonna said to him as she walked up stairs to her room.

"Good night." He said but didn't move. After he heard a door shut, he picked Tea up and carried her to her room.
Inside her room, Seto put her in bed. He sat next to her and smiled down at her. He took her hand and kissed it. Seto loved his little cousin. He'd do anything to protect her. Seto was his only family. He lost his little brother, Mokuba, in a terrible accident, Tea was the only one left. When her Grandmother dies, Seto and Tea will be the only living people in their family.
Seto yawned and decided to take a little nap with Tea. He lied down next to her and held her in his arms. The moment he drifted off into a sleep, one of Tea's azure eyes opened. She looked over at the sleeping Seto and smiled sweetly.

"Nigh night Seto" she whispered as she kissed his forehead. She then went back to sleep.
