Chapter IV: Awh!

"Ah!" An agonizing scream rang out and a loud crashing sound startled Téa and Kaiba apart.

Dang, I was so close, too, Téa thought to herself.

Dang, she was so close, Kaiba also thought.

Téa got up and ran to the stage, where the scene was set. The background was made to look like a forest. It had started raining that day, so they couldn't finish the scene outside.

Yami Bakura was on the ground, writhing in pain. "Ow, my arm," he moaned.

"What happened?" Téa asked Joey.

"A stage light fell on his arm," said Joey, smirking.

"Well, that is not something to smirk about!" said Téa.

"Who gives, it's just Yami Bakura," shot back Joey.

"Are you forgetting something, you moron? Bakura can also feel the pain! Duh!"

"Oh, yeah," said Joey, scratching his head.

Téa kneeled beside Yami Bakura. "Which arm is it?" she asked quietly, not wanting to get yelled at by him. Bakura had been in the scene originally, but Yami Bakura took over, being selfish.

"My left arm," Yami Bakura choked out. "It hurts like --" He was cut off by Téa.

"Hmm, it's not broken. Just bruised," she said.

The director finally got up and went to go see if he was okay.

Kaiba continued to watch, still sitting where he had been originally.

Téa, being the kind soul she was, helped Yami Bakura up.

"Don't touch me," he muttered, but he did not resist her help.

Téa proceeded to lead him to the nurse. "He hurt his arm," she said, and then the nurse took him away.

Kaiba had noticed the slight blush on Yami Bakura's cheeks when Téa was helping him. Oh, great. Another rival, he thought.

The director sighed. "This is never going to go right. Ever! You can have the rest off the damn day off," he muttered, and walked away. He was going to collect his thoughts.

Tristan and Yugi pulled up a couple of chairs. "Well, this has gone great. We aren't going to get paid, if we don't do anything," said Tristan.

The rest of the Yu-Gi-Oh! gang sat down, including Kaiba, who had finally decided to be social.

Yami Bakura was still in the nurse's office.

Joey chuckled to himself.

"What's so funny?" Tristan asked.

"Nothing," he mumbled.

"Gawd, everyone's depressed," said Kaiba.

Everybody nodded in agreement, and continued sitting there, looking depressed.

Joey wasn't really paying attention to anybody. So, he decided to go to his room and rest. He got up to leave.

"Where are you going, Joey?" asked Yugi.

"To rest," he replied.

"I think we all should," said Téa.

Everyone nodded again, and they all went to their rooms.

Joey walked to his slowly. He flopped down on the bed, his head hitting the pillow. "So, tired," he muttered, and closed his eyes, falling asleep...

Joey felt like he was being dragged into a black hole. When he opened his eyes, he was sitting on a stool, in a bar. "What can I get you, son?" asked the bartender, his voice familiar.

"Um, do you guys have any Coke?" he asked, staring at the counter.

"Yeah, we do," the bartender said. He took out a Coke and handed it to Joey.

Joey looked up at the bartender and gasped. So did the bartender.

"Oh, my God, Joey! What the hell are you doing in my dream?!" shouted the arrogant voice of Seto Kaiba.

"This is my dream pal," said Joey. "And you're invading it."

Kaiba stared hard and cold at Joey.

Joey smirked, then burst out laughing. "A bartender? Seto Kaiba... a bartender?" Joey sat there, laughing his butt off.

Kaiba glared. "Shut up, dog face," he said.

Just then, the door flew open. In stepped a girl with brown hair. She was wearing a short skirt and a tank top. She took a seat next to Joey.

Joey just stared at her. Then, like a bolt of lightning, he realized who it was. "Oh, my God! Téa?"

"Yeah... Joey? she yelped.

Kaiba stood behind the counter in awe. "Why are you here, Téa? Don't tell me that you're a - " He was cut off by her.

"No, I am not what you think," she said.

Joey continued staring at her.

"Is there something on my shirt?"

Joey shook his head, still staring.

"Well, then stop looking at me that way!" she yelled.

Joey shrugged and continued sipping his drink. His dream was getting weirder and weirder.

Suddenly, Kaiba started singing in a blues-like voice. "When the weight of the world has got you down, and you want to end your life. Bills to pay, a dead end job, and problems with the wife..."

Joey and Téa joined in. "But don't throw in the t'owl, 'cause there's a place right down the block - where you can drink your misery away."

Suddenly, Yugi, Tristan, and Bakura came up behind Joey and Téa. All six of them started singing, Kaiba's voice standing out the most. "At Flaming Moe's (Let's all go to Flaming Moe's)! With liquor in a mug (Let's all got to Flaming Moe's) and happiness is just a Flaming Moe away! Happiness is just a Flaming Moe away!"

They all finished singing.

"Well, that was fun. I hardly ever get any visitors," said a tearful Kaiba.

"Yeah." said Bakura.

"Why are we all in the same dream?" Yugi wondered out loud.

"Listen guys, I'm dreaming this. Not you," said Joey.

"Oh," they all said.

Suddenly, Kaiba pulled out a gun. "Give me your money. All of you. Now," he said.

"Okay, it's time for me to wake-up," said Joey to himself.

"Kaiba! Don't!" yelled Téa.

Kaiba ignored her, pointed the gun at Joey, and laughed insanely. "I'm not Kaiba," he said, pulling off a mask. The face under the mask was none other that Pegasus.

"Oh, my God. I need to wake up NOW," Joey said.

"Haha!" Pegasus pulled the trigger, and the bullet sped in slow motion towards Joey.

"No!" he cried out, as it was about to hit him.

Joey's eyes flung open and he breathed a sigh of relief. "It was just a dream!" He lay there, just thinking. He couldn't believe that this was the second nap he had taken in the same day. (A/N: Remember? In chapter three, Téa told him to go take a nap? )

He looked around his room. Not again. He saw food items everywhere he looked. The pillow had turned into a cake. "Yummy!" he said and bit into the pillow. "Awh, yuck! I'm sick of this. I need something to take my mind off food." He pulled out a novel entitled 101 Ways to Make Great Lasagna and started reading.

While Joey was reading, Téa had decided to go outside and get some fresh air. She ran into Kaiba in the hallway.

"Hey," he said.

"Hi," she replied.

Kaiba took her hand and let her into the room where the stage was set. It was empty.

Téa gulped. She felt nervous being alone with him again.

Kaiba looked at her. "Hmm..."

"What?"

"Nothing. Is that a zit I see?" he asked.

"You little, son of a - "

Kaiba cut her off by pressing his lips against hers.

"Mmph!" Téa mumbled something incomprehensible against his mouth.

He pulled away. "How was that for you?" he asked, smirking.

She smirked back. "You're not a bad kisser, but Joey's better," she thought out loud.

"What? You've kissed Joey before?" Kaiba stood there looking totally shocked.

"No, of course not," said Téa grinning evily. "Gotcha."

"Why you little..." Kaiba started tickling Téa.

While this was going on, someone was watching them. There was a loud click. Téa turned to see who or what had made that sound. She gasped when she saw who it was.

Disclaimer: I don't own The Simpsons or the song Flaming Moe's. Matt Groening does... actually he probably doesn't really even own the Flaming Moe's song since it's a clear parody of the Cheers theme. : )
