Mondays…yuck!
Tea smiled it was late in the afternoon when she got to Kaiba's house or mansion, what ever, but she still had about an hour before she had to start working. So she came in with a smile that quickly vanished as soon as she saw the butler. She hadn't liked him since they had first met. The butler came up to her and said with a smirk, "Master Kaiba wants to see you. He'll be in his office." Tea couldn't think of any reason why Seto wanted to see her it couldn't be about a raise and she hadn't done anything wrong…. "Oh well" she sighed as she walked up the stairs, "I guess I'll find out soon enough."
She opened the doors and stepped inside the room she'd been led to. Kaiba was sitting in a chair and had his back to her so she didn't know if he knew she was there, "Um…you wanted to see me?" She said nervously suddenly feeling slightly sickish.
"Yes I did. You're fired." He said in his emotionless speech, the back of the chair still towards her.
"WHAT?! What do you mean fired! I haven't done anything wrong and I've worked my butt off! I demand a reason why I'm fired!"
Kaiba suddenly turned around, "How dare you come in here and say that! Of course you've done something wrong you talked to my brother!" Kaiba unfortunately in all his rage didn't know how stupid this comment sounded, but Tea some how in her own way realized that Kaiba was just angry that his brother hadn't come to him and talked to her instead.
"Gosh Seto for a genius you sure are dumb! You wanna know why Mokuba came and talked to me?" She said slamming her hands on the table.
"No but I think you're going to tell me any way." He snapped back.
Flash Back
Tea carefully picked up the blue vase and dusted under it, today was the first day she'd actually been in the west wing of the Kaiba mansion. She was setting the vase down when she heard what sounded like something braking Tea walked slowly to where she'd heard the sound it had come from a large room. She opened the door to see Mokuba standing over what looked like it was one a glass figurine of a Blue Eyes White Dragon. "Mokuba what's wrong?" Tea said coming up from behind.
"I hate it! I hate how everyone compares me to Seto! I hate always being the baby always riding on the tail of his fame! I can never do anything right!" Mokuba said angrily as tears weld up in his eyes, "You wouldn't understand! What it feels like to be always second best! You wouldn't know how it feels to always stand in someone's shadow!" He said now the tears running freely down his cheeks. "You wouldn't understand."
"Yes, yes I do." Tea said hugging him, "I know how it feels to be on the sidelines feeling useless. Sometimes When Yugi or Joey are dueling I feel so helpless like I can't do anything. They're both such great duelists I feel so small compared to them. But I know," she said as she picked up the pieces of broken glass, "That no matter how strong they are they need to always be there helping them on so just because my role looks very small its not."
Mokuba stared at her a second. Seto had always made fun of Tea calling her the 'dweebs' cheerleader, a person only smart enough to say a couple of catch phrases over and over again. Seto was wrong, Mokuba thought as he got down on his hands and knees to help pick up the glass. "I had just finished it when some kids came over and started laughing at me. They were saying I was a looser who couldn't even come up with an original idea for an art project that I had to use one of my brothers, and that's all that I ever did in life was use my brother. That I was always depending on him and that I couldn't even stand on my own two feet. And you know what I thought they were right…I mean I would still be in that orphanage if it weren't for Seto." He said turning his amethyst eyes toward her.
"That may be true, but the only reason Kaiba even tried to get out of the orphanage was because of you. You gave hime the strength and initiavtive to get you two out." She said smiling picking up the last of the glass, "Well it looks like we're finished here I'll go get another one of the maids to vacuum up." Tea stood up brushed off her dress and walked towards the door, right before she left Mokuba said, "Thank you."
End
"Well hurry it up I haven't got all day!" Kaiba seethed as he glared at her.
"The reason Mokuba talked to me because he didn't want you to think he was a baby! Mokuba knows he's not as smart as you! So here he is at school getting picked on by his classmates and they're saying exactly how he feels in his heart, that he's just a little kid who can't do anything that he always comes crying to you when he's in trouble. So he decided to go out on a limb and maybe not ask for your help, to solve his own problem. So maybe you'd actually pay him some respect and who knows maybe treat him more as an equal! I certainly think, tough, that you shouldn't be firing me just because I talked to him, Seto!"
Seto leaned back in his chair this hadn't been what he'd expected. Was this what one of Tea's stupid friendship speeches made you feel like? He didn't feel angry or resentful any more; hell he didn't know how he felt. And for a few minutes he just sat there, "I'm sorry," he said blankly, "I didn't know the circumstances if you want you may have your job back."
Now Tea was just as shocked as Seto had been after her little speech. Had he just apologized? She looked out the window just waiting to see a pig fly."Uh well of course I want it back."
"Good then please get to work. Oh! And by the way I didn't know we were on a first name bases." He said with a smirk he was glad he had been able to save some of his dignity with that last remark. And he could barely hold in his laugh as he saw her face turn bright red.
"Very funny Seto." She, blushed an even deeper shade of red, she had accidentally called him by his first name, again! But what was done was done so with that she walked out.
A few weeks later
All had gone well for a while Tea and Seto weren't so snappy with each other and had even exchanged a few pleasantries (Seto's pleasantries being you can quit five minutes early). Seto didn't mind any more that Mokuba and Tea talked. But the biggest news was Tea had finally saved up enough money to make a down payment at her dancing school! All she had to do now was pass the exams and she was in!
Tea stood by her bed shoving things into a duffle bag today was the day and no matter how hard she tried she couldn't stop smiling! She attempted to carefully put all of her ballet outfit in so it wouldn't get wrinkled or messed up but it was no use. As soon as she finished she rushed out the door, Tea hadn't told any one that today was her audition. She smiled again as she slammed the taxi's door shut she was on the way to making her dream come true!
Hikarie: Wow! That chappie seemed really long! - And I liked feels so happy
Tea: Yeah I'm so glad I get to dance in the next chapter! Hikarie and Tea clasp hands and dance around
Seto: I hate you! You made me look like a stupid jealous idiot!
Yugi: Hahaha I think that role fits you Hahaha!
Seto: Why you #&! Come back here!runs after the laughing Yugi
Hikarie: Well all fun must end I got to go chase down Seto and Yugi before one of them gets hurt so bye-byes waves
