Chapter II: Problems
The director was still crying by the time suppertime rolled around. "It's not fair!" he sobbed. "I wanted this to be the best show on television!"
Joey came out of his dressing room, only to find the director sitting in his chair, sobbing. "It's okay, man, I feel for you!" He felt tears also well in the corners of his eyes.
Téa came running up to Joey. "Where's Kaiba? It's like he disappeared off the face of the earth!"
"Oh, who cares? He's a jerk anyway," said Joey, grinning for the first time that evening. The tears had obviously been fake.
Téa looked genuinely insulted. "He is not. He's actually a very nice boy once you get to know him a bit better."
The director looked up, bursting into laughter, the tears gone from his face, also. "Nice? Téa, honey, that child is not nice. He's a spoiled brat."
"I heard that," said Kaiba, coming out of nowhere.
"Good! It's about time someone told you that yer a stuck-up jerk!" snapped Joey.
A look of hurt crossed Kaiba's face for a brief second. Finally, he replied with, "You're the jerk, you jerk!"
Just then, Yugi and the Dark Magician came out. "Director! He's drunk again!" said Yugi, his voice weary.
"The problems never end, do they?" the director replied, sighing heavily.
"I swear to drunk I'm not God!" slurred the Dark Magician.
"Yes, you are," said the director, snapping his fingers. Two security guards came. "Take him to his room and give him some pills." The security guards nodded and took the Dark Magician away.
Téa, Kaiba, Joey, and Yugi pulled up a chair beside the director. "Where are Bakura and Tristan?" demanded Téa.
"We're right here! We went looking for you, Téa," said Tristan. They sat down as well.
"You know, director guy, you never did tell us your real name," said Kaiba.
The director looked embarrassed. "Well, if I tell you, you have to promise not to tell anyone!"
"We promise," they all said in unison.
"My real name is... it's... my real name... my name is Archibald."
Téa burst out laughing. "Archibald! Oh, my God. No wonder no one knows your real name," she snorted. Everyone else burst out laughing too. (A/N: Yes, even Kaiba. He's allowed to laugh, you know. )
The director got up. "Gee, thanks. Rest up for tomorrow," he said, walking away. "Impossible to work with," he also muttered.
Everyone else went to catch some shut-eye, leaving Téa and Kaiba sitting by themselves. "Um, so... are you like, the man of silence or something? It wouldn't kill you to say something or talk to me," said Téa.
"Yeah, it would," he said, just as a meteor came and landed on him, killing him. (A/N: No, he didn't. LOL! I wouldn't really do that to him. I was just trying to make you all laugh. )
"So, did you really mean it when you said you thought I was cute?" asked Téa.
"Yeah. You're really cute," he said, flashing her a smile.
Téa blushed. "Thanks," she said.
Kaiba stood up. "Well, I guess we should try to get some sleep."
"Hey, want to come to my room?" Téa thought aloud.
Kaiba turned to her and said, "What did you just say?"
"Oh, nothing," said Téa, grinning devilishly. "Well, have a good sleep and sweet dreams." She walked over to him, kissed him on the cheek and skipped off to her room.
Kaiba just stood there, his cheeks brightening slightly. He shook his head and also went to his room.
Later that night, Bakura had awoken to a rumbling sound. Realizing that it was his stomach, he got up to go to the fridge, still half-asleep. "Need food," he mumbled.
"Bakura! What are you doing up?" rang Yugi's voice, sounding slightly slurred.
"I'm hungry," he replied, fully awake now. "What are you doing up?"
"I'm thirsty." Yugi was holding a 2-litre bottle of pop.
"Oh, I see." Bakura raided the fridge, trying to find something good to eat.
"Remember, no fattening foods!"
"You really think I'm going to listen to that?" Bakura replied, rolling his eyes, English accent gone.
"Oh, my God, Bakura! What happened to your voice?" exclaimed Yugi.
"I don't need to use my accent all day, now do I?" He was clearly ignoring the "no fattening foods" rule as he began munching on a slice of cold pizza.
"What has this show come to?" said Yugi, going back to bed, taking the caffeine with him.
Bakura shrugged and continued eating. It certainly wasn't his problem. Maybe if they paid him more, he would consider obeying the rules.
What will happen next? Will the YGO cast clean up their act for the next day? Are Téa and Kaiba an item now? Stay tuned and find out!
A/N: Okay, I'm so sorry. This is supposed to be a humorous fic, but I ran a little short on humor this chapter. Don't worry, though; I promise there will be a lot of it in the next chapter. I vow to make you laugh! Thanks to my reviewers, Amethyst Bubble, and The Fallen angel King. I'm so glad someone reviewed. Well, the next chapter should be up soon! Everyone, please review!
