Disclaimer: AllDay doesn't own Yu-gi-oh, or the movie this fic is based on (BTW) "She's All That."
We'll See Now!
Holding two plastic grocery bags in each hand, Tea walked past the Game Shop after a day of shopping for her parents. Why is there such a large line if front of it . . .? She wondered if there had been some sort of accident with old, ailing Mr. Motou. Maybe it was silly it assume the worst, but it had happened so many times before . . .
Kids loitered, in a large centipede of wild-print T-shirts, shorts and regular teenage gear as Tea passed down the line into the Game shop, concerned. They were talking and laughing, and she recognized some of them from Domino City High, but most were little kids, maybe middleschoolers. This alleviated her fears somewhat; they weren't cops, at least.
Her heart slowed its beating in relief. Mr. Motou wasn't hurt, he wasn't even there! "Huh?" Tea asked aloud, looking right and left. "Where's--?" Where is everybody?
"You're telling me," grumbled one. "We've been waiting forever!"
Ignoring the kid's grumping, Tea pushed further forward still. The line seemed to stream into the back door, the one that led to the living room of the Motou household. Tea knew that the black spikes sitting on the couch was Yugi, and that the blonde's . . .
"What's he--?" In her shock, Tea left the door wide open, allowing the other customers a glimpse of what was the hold up.
"I've gotta tell you da truth . . ." Joey gulped and a silence fell from the chattering outside. He didn't even notice—so nervous was he.
Omi . . .gosh . . . that could only be one thing!! He's telling Yugi about . . .us!!
I've got to stop him!! Tea thought determined. She saw Yugi's face form a puzzled frown, but couldn't see Joey's; his back was to her. Nor could he see her. I have to . . .! Do something! Anything! Move! Yell out!
But as she willed her feet to move forward, to say anything . . . she choked. A part of her DID want this to get out in the open, and a more, dominating one wanted it a secret. But still, she couldn't speak, like she had laryngitis or something. Mr. Motou stood passive a little ways off, a little smile on his face. As if guessing what she was going to do—at least trying to—he put one stubby finger to his moustache. Tea looked at him in horror.
"J—" she croaked . . . finding her voice . . . Too late!
" . . Tea and me are in love wit each other . . .I'm . . .sorry if you'd liked her." Yugi's smile fell faster than a dropped cake pan. Even Mr. Motou's did, replaced with surprise. Seeing it, and hearing it didn't register. Everyone was quiet for a minute outside, then started to murmur amongst themselves.
Yugi just turned great big eyes down, not smiling. Not smiling at all. He looked pale and altogether not with it. Plus, he was shaking.
" . . .Yuge?" Joey said in concern, looking closely. Now the shorter, younger boy's face was completely hidden by the long blonde bangs. Dis is bad. I think he's crying! "C'mon, Yuge! Say something! Please!"
Tea ran out. Mr. Motou tried to stop her. Hearing a scuffle, Joey glanced over quickly and saw the back of wide Mr. Motou blocking someone from view there, fighting with an impatient customer.
Turning back, he bit his lip. Knowing Yugi as well as he did, he knew that Yugi wouldn't be that mad at him. His earlier vision of Yugi stabbing him with chopsticks faded away. Still, he took them away, just to be sure. Jest in case!
They were very tightly gripped. Man, I didn't know Yugi got so strong
"It's your guilt that's making you weak," boomed a strong voice.
Startled, Joey looked up, not into Yugi's regular, pure, violet eyes, but rather Yami's, red-tinged, narrow eyes. Very scary-lookin' dude. Yami's mouth corners curved up, as it was his turn.
"Hey! I was . . .talkin' to my best friend!" Joey said, angrily. And what does he mean, 'my guilt'? "Do ya MIND?!"
"'Friend?' I would suggest your actions say otherwise." Yami continued to calmly look at him.
"Don't go there. I'm not gonna talk to you, I'm only going to talk to Yuge!"
"I'm sorry," Yami said crisply, "But Yugi can't come to the phone right now."
Ignoring the joke, Joey said even more angrily, "What do YA MEAN—"
"He's crying . . . in his soul room, if you must know."
That made Joey shut up. Man . . .I knew he'd take it bad, but I didn't know--! That he'd be this crushed . . .
"Yes. Well." Yami, looking down, taking his chopsticked hand back from Joey's grip, watching in satisfaction. It was Joey's turned to stare down unblinkingly. "How about we finish our duel? I want to help you." He stated, and then looked up to find a still staring Mr. Moto and Tea, and gave them a wink.
"I'll take care of everything, Tea" he seemed to say. Flushing, she pushed past Mr. Moto and past the schoolkids as fast as she could.
Out on the street, she wondered what he meant by "taking care of everything." Was he going to convince Joey not to pursue her? "I hope so," Tea said aloud to herself, not sure if she really meant it. She left the bank, having gone to pick up something.
Beep! Beep! A car's horn blared as she stood on the streetlight. "Watch where you're going!" Tea started to shout then saw who it was. Serenity in Mai's convertible. And since she was only fourteen . . .
"What are you--? Ah, Tea. I thought I recognized your yell." Mai adjusted her sunglasses. The day was breezy and sunny, and the little Corvette shone a glossy blue. Serenity, Joey's little sister, waved from the backseat.
"Come on in Tea, you look like you've got a lot of groceries," she called.
"Uh." Personally, Tea would've rather walked in mile back, since Mai was sure to tease her and she wasn't in the mood to be aggravated. But in the end, she was roped in. "But I'm not very good company right now," she muttered.
"When have you?" Mai joked, as Serenity giggled behind them, but Tea scowled. "Oh, I'm joking! Don't be angry, dear, on such a beautiful day! And if you scowl any harder in your lifetime, you'll be wrinkly."
Just out of spite, Tea glared harder. "Very funny."
"I'm serious!" Mai turned a corner, beeping jauntily at some pedestrian, and waving. "It's such a pleasant day outside, isn't it . . .Serenity?" she added.
Tea rolled her eyes. She knew Mai was just dying to say "it". What'll she talk about next, politics?
"So, Tea . . ." Mai finally said, after chatting and coming to a red light. "Any news about our bet . . .?"
"Hm?" If she acted stupid, maybe Mai would drop it.
Mai adjusted her strap on her shoulder of her bright blue tank top on her perfect figure. "Our bet? You know."
Tea was taken aback, she'd forgotten! At the silence, Serenity asked, "What bet?"
Still smiling that smile, Mai turned around and explained before Tea could stop her. If Joey hears it from Serenity, I'll be dead! She thought.
"Mai! That was supposed to be SECRET!"
"Oh, pish," Mai flipped her French tipped nails upwards, "Serenity won't tell. Right?"
"Uh . . ." Serenity said in a way that made Tea nervous. "Sure! I'm just kidding; of course not."
"So you're safe. So, how goes it? Oh right, we didn't set rewards . . ."
"No . . .but I'm going to win. Everyone's voting for Joey, as far as I can tell."
"Ooh, yes!" Serenity clapped her hands together.
"Really?" Mai tipped her face up to the sunlight. "Interesting."
Tea couldn't help a sideways glance. What was she up to?
"You're still going with him to the Prom, right?"
"Mm," Mai shrugged, not able to resist annoying Tea for a bit.
"Mai! You promised! I did everything you said."
"But you like him, too."
Tea was stunned, silent. Much too slow, she said, "No . . .I don't . . ."
Even Serenity wasn't fooled. "Good luck!" she pumped Tea's free hand up and down. "I'm sure you and big brother will be very happy."
Mai had to turn her head away over her car door to prevent from laughing. She calmed down and put on a bland expression. Tea looks like she's been hit by lightning! Oh, this is going to be interesting. Tee hee!
"No . . .no . . ." Tea said quickly, putting Serenity's hand into Mai's instead. "S-seren, you should be congratulating Mai! Not me!" she stuttered.
I doubt she'll put up a fight, though . . .Mai continued to observe, rubbing her fingernails together and smiling. Then she sighed patiently but sharply. "Tea, you don't fool me. Either one of us. I know you like him. I saw you 'liking' him."
"No, no you didn't . . . that was a fluke! 1 moment of weakness!" Tea pleaded.
"I don't think . . .that you'd be the type of person to show 1 moment of weakness," Mai said lazily.
"What do you mean? What type of person am I then?" Tea said just to change the subject; even though her ego was on the line of fire.
Mai was not being led. "No . . .I mean, I think that you'd--or, you have-- shown more than one moment." Tea's lips moved soundlessly. "I'm right, right? Say I'm right," she said teasingly and winking.
"Mai, you shouldn't tease Tea about stuff like that."
Mai's gaze turned sharp. "You've kissed him again, didn't you? Other than the time at the movie . . You can confide in me."
Tea was tired of all of it. "Either way, you're not going to believe me if I said no."
"If? If?!" The blonde playfully poked her in the ribs and smiled lazily. "But I guess you're right . . .because Tristan told me what he saw. I was just testing you, I admit. You know, you should be more careful where you kiss someone!"
"It was in my own home!" Tea said defensively.
"Really. Serenity, cover your ears. So how was it?"
"And don't change the subject." Tea's cheeks grew rosy. "Are you going to go with him, or not?"
"Oh, come on!" Mai said over Serenity, who was obediently covering her ears. "You're selling me to him, aren't you?"
"Um . . .no." Tea was getting tired of it all. "You don't sell people. Especially if they have feelings."
"Well, you're not a very good salesperson." Mai chewed her pinky nail delicately, expectantly.
"Okay . . ." Tea said grudgingly. "It was . . ." she gestured wildly, and a grin broke out on Mai's face smugly. "Very good, okay!"
"Wow." Mai adjusted her seatbelt. "I didn't think you were ACTUALLY going to tell me!"
"MAI!" Serenity had to cover her ears for real; Tea yelled so loud.
"Okay, okay . . .I guess I will."
"Good!"
"But! Only if--"
"Argh, what now?!"
"Don't interrupt me! Only if . . ." the mischievous blonde paused for effect, " . . .you hit him."
"Oh no, please don't hit big Brother!" Serenity said plaintively.
"WHAT." Tea was dumbstruck. "Look, Mai don't you like him or not?!"
"I told you, I do." Serious one more time, Mai gazed distantly, giving her profile. "I mean . . .at first when I caught you two, I was angry . . .I admit . . ." Draping a well-toned arm over the seat, she spun the wheel easily for a right turn. "And don't worry, Serenity; Tea won't hit him."
I don't like her tone of voice. So knowing. "And why wouldn't I?" Tea exclaimed hotly. Especially after what he did. . .!
"Because," Mai blew out her breath, fanning her bangs out. "You like him, too. As well as Yugi."
"What a triangle," Serenity commented from the back, her long hair whipping back with Mai's looking like a golden and auburn banner. Tea's hair was too short to wave.
"Mm." Makes it all the better. Mai hid a gleeful smile impishly.
"I don't see anything triangularish about it." Crossing her arms, Tea stated, "All you have to do is go to the Prom with him, fall happily in love, and ever after. And Mai, when you go out with him, you had better not hurt him and give him a good fair chance. He's been dying for this for ages. Isn't that right, Serenity?"
"Right!" Boy, not only is Joey a good duelist, is he ever charming with the girls! Wow!
"See?"
"It isn't all that neat and perfect," Mai said wisely, as they finally stopped in front of Tea's house.
"Of course it is," Tea said stubbornly with a frown. " 'Bye." She waved.
"You'll see . . ." Mai cackled a pseudo-evil-laugh as she dropped off the sullen brunette and sped away. Her laughter rang on the quiet street.
Stupid Mai . . .Tea kicked her bag as she entered. Stupid Joey . . .why don't they just fall in love already? With each other, I mean . . . Stuffing some broken eggs in the 'fridge, thanks to Mai's crazy driving didn't help. Not Joey with me and Mai with herself . . .
Next morning . . .
Still sweaty from a workout at cheerleading practice, Tea slung a thin threadbare, school-issued towel around her neck, and studied her schedule. It was nearly noon, time for lunch, and she hadn't seen head nor tail of Yugi or the gang all morning.
Especially Joey . . .Except on the soccer field. Tristan saw me, but he didn't. Boy . . .Tea sighed in a deep breath in front of some fliers, did he look . . .good. Good moves, I mean. He's been practicing.
Her tone with herself got defensive, and battled with her conscience. So what if she got jealous when a fellow cheerleader starting catcalling out to him on the field? She wasn't supposed to--ah, whatever. I'm too tired to even battle with myself this morning.
Mai's stupid deal floated back to her. Why do I even bother? All I do is to make other people happy, and this is what I get. Teased and laughed at. Or chaotic. Grr, that stupid Mai. The bell jangled merrily, and students starting pouring, signing each other's yearbooks and photos.
Two more days till Prom, Tea sighed, staring at the chart like it was some holy god. Two more days until my life is back in order . . .It seemed like a shimmering mirage. Let's see . . .I promised Ryou that I'd help his decorate the gym . . .that sounds like fun. At least.
Turning, her eyes on her daily planner, she bumped into something. Or someone. "Oh, hi Tristan."
Tristan was there, but it wasn't he who'd she'd bumped into. Tristan cleared his throat, breaking their staring match. "Ahem. We were just looking for you, Tea to eat lunch with us." Aw, how cute.
"Oh." Said Tea. "Well, I need to go and help um, Ryou with--at the gym."
Joey finally spoke. "We can take our lunches to the gym, den."
"Oh, I don't think so--" Tea stopped in case she was being rude, smiling. "Or maybe, I guess."
"Okay. 's dat okay . . .with you . . .Tristan . . .?" Joey looked around for his friend but he was nowhere to be seen. Why dat--! After hounding me all morning about her!
Meanwhile, Tea was remembering Mai's stupid plan. I have to hit him. I don't know how she knows, but she's got eyes everywhere, so . . . She balled up her fist and swung out.
"?!?!?! Hey! What're ya hittin' me for?" Joey dodged just in time, looking like she'd lost her mind!
"It's for a bet. Now hold still!" Tea couldn't tell him whom, or else he'd think Mai nuts and not fall in love with her.
"Bet? Well, I don't care, you're not hitting me!" She chased him all the way down to the gym, where the others were gathered around, hanging up decorations. Tea stopped her odyssey.
"Hey, Tea! Joey!" Yugi called to them with a shiny foil strip. He seemed perfectly all right . . .
"Yugi?" Tea asked in concern. "Are you okay?"
"Of course!" was the puzzled answer.
Seeing her even more puzzled frown, Joey whispered, "So you were there like Mr. Motou said!" under his breath before going over to help Ryou hang a twenty foot banner.
Utterly confused, Tea remembered her quest and casually walked up from behind. But when she swung out (making sure no one was watching) Joey just dodged again. "Ergh! This is for your own good!" she hissed, stopping since people were staring now.
Joey shrugged, not believing her. Earlier, Yami had said that Yugi had erased his own memory files so he didn't remember a thing and they had dueled and Joey won. That was why Yugi was all chirpy as usual. "Psst, Tristan . . .thanks a lot!" he hissed at him.
Meanwhile, Yugi saw Tea taking swipes? at Joey. This in itself wasn't unusual, but Tea looked like she'd really meant it. Her fist was clenched and she was standing on a ladder. I'll ask her about it later. Is she keeping something secret?
"Thanks a lot you guys," Ryou said breathlessly, ducking as Tea tried to hit Joey and nearly got him. "Why don't we head down to the cafeteria now? The rest of the committee will do the rest."
Whole hearted agreements, and everyone started cleaning up. Tea didn't help, for once, once she saw him speed outside. Idiot! I don't know how he got Yugi to agree, but . . .I'm going to hit him!
It was weird, since she already hit him before, all the time. Anyway . . .I need to talk to him about Yugi, anyway. She sped down the hall after him. "Wait! Joey!"
"What?" he said, like he just noticed her running after him. The hallways were deserted, the rest of the school were taking exams, so they voices were whispers.
"There . . ." she slapped him, but lightly.
"Nope. Missed!" He ducked at the last minute. No fair, he's into that fighting thing . . .
Tea blew her bangs out in frustration. Her hair was hanging limply from her ponytail. "I'm trying to help you, you dolt! Trust me!"
"You're hitting too lightly," he teased, "you're a lot faster before."
Staring at him grinning at her, Tea heard Mai's voice inside her brain: "Don't worry, Serenity. She won't hit him." Is this why? Do I really like him?
Grr . . .I hate it when she's right!
"And who're you calling a 'dolt?'" he said after a good long while, eyes narrowing.
"Tell me everything that happened yesterday with Yugi," Tea said, not answering his rhetorical question.
"I knew you were there." Joey stabbed a feet at her. "Running away again, eh?"
"Don't poke me!" Tea pushed a strand of hair behind her ear messily. "You talk first."
"O.K. Uh . . ." Joey turned a bit to the side, rubbing his eye. "I told Yuge da truth."
"Yeah, I saw that part." Tea said impatiently, twirling her wrist.
"Don't look at me like you're askin' fer money, awready. Sheesh. Well, den dat stupid Yami of his butted in—"
"Yeah? And he isn't stupid."
"Well, he was 'cause he erased Yuge's memories—"
"WHAT?"
"—to 'protect' him. Talk about overprotective." Now I hafta tell him all ova again . . .
Stunned, Tea was struck speechless. "Are you sure?" she grabbed him. "How do you know?"
"Cause he told me so!"
Letting go, Tea frowned away. "That doesn't sound like him." Weird. I'll—I'll talk to him later. "So, Yugi still doesn't know we—"
"Nope. Nada."
"Don't worry, I'll take of everything." Tea whispered, remembering Yami's message. But, then it sounds like he's trying to break Joey and me up! But why--? "!" she gasped, clapping her hand over her mouth.
"What? What?" Joey was completely in the dark. Sounds like she's figured somethin' out!
"Nothing . . .nothing . . ." Tea said distractedly. "It's just—"
"Don't sound like 'nothing.'" He commented.
Tea shook her head, hard. "So, what happened after that?"
"Nothin' . . .we just dueled . . .and all the kids in the sto' saw us . . ." Joey broke off, scratching his ear absently. "And I won."
Tea must've looked blank.
"I did! Except . . .it was a Shadow Duel thingy . . .boy, was it scary . . ." He shivered to himself. " . . .one scary-lookin' dude."
Tea frowned, her eyebrows knitting together. "First of all, he's not scary-looking. Second of all . . ." She plunged ahead when Joey started to protest. "Secondly, I think you must've hit your head, or something, because I doubt that you beat him in anything. Thirdly . . ."
"I did so!"
"Thirdly . . ." Tea paused, studied her hands. "I think I know why he did that to you."
"Did dat to me?! Did dat to me?!" Joey was livid. "I know why! He did it so I could learn a lesson. He said."
"A lesson . . .?"
"Yeah! Something about . . .my risking my friendship with Yugi . . .to be with you . . .was causing me guilt . . .Duel Monsters . . ." He shook his head, blond hair flying everywhere. "Tried to make me stop pursuing you."
" . . .just like I thought . . ."
"But I told him he was fulla crap. I was gonna pursue you or whoever even if he set wild horses at my tail."
"Joey . . ." Tea sighed, and rubbed her forehead, like she had a headache. "Joey, Joey, Joey."
"What?"
"Um . . .never mind." She walked around him towards the fountain. After taking a sip, she asked, "Anything else after that?"
"Not really. So how much did ya hear?"
"Enough," she said evasively.
"Did you hear da part . . .when I said, dat, I love you?" he said coyly.
A tiny smile tugged. "Yeah." She scuffed her white tennis shoe on the ground, "But I already knew that!"
Huh? "When did I tell you?"
"Remember??" she said meaningfully. "I told you . . .I liked you for a long time . . .and you said—"
"Well . . .do you--? I mean—"
"Yeah-yes, of course I do."
"Not as a friend, I mean!"
"Not as a friend," she agreed easily. When he continued to look perplexed, she elaborated, "Joey, you know I love you as a friend . . .too, right?"
"Mm." He took time to think things over. "Den why---why don't we just go to da Prom togetha? Whaddya say?"
"But . . ." Tea studied her hands, which had nails bitten off short. "I already promised Yugi I would. And the truth is, I'd rather go with him . . ."
He ignored her last statement. "Den just cancel on him."
"I can't. It's not that I don't want to go with you . . . but . . ." Tea sighed, and shrugged. "I really think that you should just trust my judgement . . ."
He flinched knowingly.
" . . .and take Mai." Suddenly grabbing his hands, Tea spoke seriously. "Please!"
He shook her off. "Why don't you trust my judgement? Do you think I say 'I love you' to just any girl that passes by?"
"No." she said with a straight face. "But I heard you say it to your pizza."
"? I was joking!"
"I know I know! Look," she walked around in a circle, "I know you love me in a romantic way, and it's returned—"
"Exactly!"
"But! But . . . if Mai were to, come in now, with flowers and balloons, shouting 'I love you!' to you, would you REALLY not—return it?" She tipped her head and looked anxious.
"With balloons?" He crossed his arms. "No."
"Look me in the eye, Joey."
"I am!" He leaned over, emphasizing.
"You're looking me in the nose." Tea said. "Look, you can't help that you wear your heart on your sleeve. So please! Just go with her this one night. ONE night!" Holding out her hands in front of her chest, she shook them. "And, I'll go with Yugi, as well. And, if we still feel the same, then . . .we'll see."
"I dunno— wouldn't feel right." Not to mention, fair to her.
"I know it's a lot to ask . . .but please, Joey! For me?" She begged with verve
It was hard to refuse those crystal clear lake-blue eyes. " . . .Awright."
She hugged him.
"But only dis one time! That's it!" Ridiculous. I feel utterly ridiculous. I can't believe what a mess dis is . . .being forced to go out on a date by the girl I like . . . ironic, dat's what it is. "On one condition."
"What?" Tea hoped Joey wouldn't do a 'Mai' and make her hit her too! Which reminds me . . .
"Ow! Reminds me, whaja do dat for?!" He rubbed his sore arm.
"Your condition?" she pressed, avoiding answering that.
"Oh yeah. What was it again?" Tea tapped her toe. "Oh. That you don't mention it until Prom night and not a moment sooner! And I mean everything—"
"Prom night is tomorrow, Joey."
"Oh. Right." He scratched his head some more. "Well until then, den!"
Tea let out a mushroom-shaped sigh. "Anything else?"
"Nope, I'll let you know."
" . . .Okay. Well, come on, the others are probably wondering what we're doing." She gestured towards the cafeteria.
"I will pass your test, Taye." He said seriously, holding her eye. "I'm sure I will."
"Right . . ." she tried not to sound too sarcastic. Truthfully, she was certain that he'd fall in love with Mai tomorrow . . .thanks to her help. And I'm going to do everything I can so that can happen! After all, she'll see what a great guy he is, and fall in love too! And then . . . we'll see.
Of course . . . the only person who knows is Serenity . . .but she can keep a secret. I think I'll go ahead with Joey's 'campaign', for Prom king, even though the whole point of that is already done. Besides, he has a really good chance. And I wouldn't mind seeing Kaiba beat for once; all he does is never accept it anyway.
But would Serenity not tell about the bet if Joey asked her directly? And Mai. I'm kind of surprised she didn't tell him already. She must have a good reason . . .Tea made a face. Probably to stir up more trouble. Sometimes I think she's manipulating me too . . .
"I'll just have to talk to Serenity and make sure," Tea told herself.
"Sis?" He looked quizzically at her.
"Uh . . .about the prom, I mean. If she's going." I've been spending so much time around Joey; I haven't seen Serenity in a long time. Which is weird, since she's always hanging around her brother . . .
"Dere's not somethin' yer not keeping from me, is dere?" he said, turning her around to look into her eyes with narrowed suspicion.
Tea focused in a spot just above his nose and smiled quickly. "No . . ."
"You sure?" Now, he was playful, not suspicious.
"Yeah . . ." she nodded, smiling back.
"Well, I do hope you know what you're doin.'" Which I doubt.
"I do." Am I making a mistake?
"Well . . .be sure to save me one dance at least!?" His hand brushed hers in question while they walked down the hall, the bell rang and students started pouring out.
"Of . . .course I will." She moved her own hand into his, and he gave her a tiny smile.
To be continued . . .
A/N: Lol, will Tea be one of those weird girlfriends who sets her guy up on dates? Just kidding. Joey's not like that ! (Joey: I'm not?) Of course not. Sorry if this seemed rush-y, I'm trying to get to Prom night ASAP :D Maybe the final chapter and conclusion is up next. Probably. Please Review !
