Chapter III: Some Strange Things

The director sighed. "Cut," he said in a depressed voice. It was the next day of filming. They were working on Kaiba VS Yugi: Part III.

Téa stopped in mid-sentence. "What is it now? I'm totally sick of doing this scene."

Kaiba stood before Téa looking slightly irritated. "What did she do wrong now?" he asked.

"You have to sound more emotional. You're supposed to be mad at him, not all buddy-buddy," said the director.

"God. Fine. Let's start it again," said an annoyed sounding Téa.

"And... action!" shouted the director.

"And tell me, Seto Kaiba, how come you get more pay?" Téa stopped, realizing she had said the wrong lines. As a matter of fact, those lines weren't in the script at all.

Joey burst out laughing. "I ask myself the same thing everyday," he said, directed at Téa.

Téa turned crimson. "I mean... what do you have at the end of the day, Seto Kaiba? Tell me!"

The director made a point of groaning loudly, but even so, he laughed. "That was quite funny, Téa. Too bad the lines weren't right."

"Sorry, I guess I was just thinking out loud," said Téa, glaring.

"In answer to your question, he doesn't get more pay. It's all in your head," continued the director.

"Okay, fine. Whatever. Can we get this dang show on the road already?" said Yami, looking darker than usual.

"Yeah, okay. Action!" the director called once more.

Téa said her lines perfectly. "It's about time," she muttered after the scene.

"Okay, lunch break," said the director.

Everyone went to the big lunch table and took out their non-fattening ham and cheese sandwiches on whole wheat bread. They each had an apple and a small container of milk, too.

"This bites," said Kaiba. "Oh, man. I'd kill for a chicken burger."

"Shut up, Kaiba, you're making me hungry," said Joey, his stomach growling.

"Kaiba, would you kindly pass me the money? Er... honey?" asked Téa.

Kaiba laughed a bit. "Um... news flash, Téa. There is no honey at this table."

Everyone laughed, including Téa.

"Hey, everyone. Guess what Bakura was doing last night in the kitchen?" said Yugi.

Everybody looked like this: "O.O"

"Um... do we want to know what he was doing in the kitchen last night?" asked Tristan.

Bakura blushed. "I wasn't doing anything. I was just... eating."

"Bakura finally made his confession," said Joey.

"Shut up, or I'll sick my Yami on you," said Bakura.

The whole table fell silent. Nobody really liked Yami Bakura. Violence seemed to be the only solution with him.

"So, Kaiba, do you and Téa have like, a thing for each other?" asked Tristan, trying to get rid of the silence.

Téa turned red. "Thing? What thing?"

Kaiba grinned evilly. "Hey, she kissed me."

Yugi was too dumbfounded, so he let Yami take over.

"Heh," said Téa, giving Kaiba the death glare. She slowly moved her finger across her neck, in a cutting motion.

Kaiba gulped.

"That's nice," said Joey.

"Yeah, awesome. Let's just talk about something else," said Bakura.

Téa looked relieved.

Joey stood up. "I'm so hungry, I could just gobble you all up!"

"That's a freaky thought," said Yami.

Joey stared at Yami hungrily. Yami had suddenly turned into a hot dog. This, all being part of Joey's over active imagination, of course.

"What's wrong, Joey? Are you sick?" asked Yami.

To Joey, instead of Yami saying that, it sounded like he was saying, "Please eat me, Joey. I'm a hot dog." He was foaming at the mouth. "Let me at him!" he yelled, tackling Yami off of his chair.

"Ahh!" Yami cried out, shoving Joey off of him. "What's wrong with you?"

Téa got up and grabbed both of Joey's arms, restraining him. "Joey, calm down. When we go on our week-long break, you can have all the hot dogs you want."

"Yes," said Joey, breaking out of his trance.

Tristan laughed. "You're such a moron."

Kaiba smirked.

Then, suddenly, Joey pulled Téa into a hug, and started crying on her shoulder.

Téa just stood there in shock. "Uh, Joey, do you mind?"

"I want food!" he cried.

Kaiba sat there, a look of jealousy crossing his face.

Téa pushed Joey off of her. "Go take a nap, poor baby," she said.

Joey went to go take a nap.

Yami got up from the ground and sat down in his chair again. "Thank Ra I'm alive," he muttered.

Bakura seemed to be the only one to notice the look of jealousy on Kaiba's face. He smirked to himself.

Finally, everyone finished their lunch, and headed their own separate ways.

Later that day, Téa and Kaiba were sitting alone, while watching a scene being played out by Bakura and Joey. The two weren't in that particular scene.

"Hey, I'm sorry I told everyone you kissed me," said Kaiba.

Téa shrugged. "It's no big deal, Kaiba."

Kaiba shrugged too, looking like his normal, dark self.

Téa sat there, gazing at Kaiba, wondering why he didn't like having friends. "Kaiba?" she said softly.

"Hm?" he said looking at her.

She brought her face closer to his, just so their noses were almost touching.

Kaiba gasped. He had never been thatclose to a girl before.

"What's the matter? Are you scared?" she asked playfully.

"No," said Kaiba.

Téa leaned in to kiss him. She was just a centimeter away from his face, when there was a loud crashing sound. It startled them apart.
