Dare Date
Chapter 3: Start Simple? Part I
RINNNNGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!
A loud crash.
A very loud groan.
'My dear brother is up...' Isis thought in satisfaction as she picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"Hello dear Isis, is your dear brother there?"
"Yes he is, Bakura." Isis replied, she didn't like Bakura's emphasis on the word dear, but she knows that he is calling about the dare date. "Wait just a second, I'll get him."
"Thank you very much, dear Isis."
Isis covered the speaker with her hand and called out, "Malik! Phone call!"
Another loud crash.
Isis put down the phone on the table and went to see what was going on. Rushing into Malik's very messy room, she found Malik sitting on the ground rubbing his head.
"Do you have to do that every day, my brother?" Isis asked somewhat annoyingly.
"If this thing wasn't here, then I wouldn't have tripped over it!!!" Malik said, pointing furiously at some books.
"Well, maybe if you cleaned your room, those books won't be there." Isis answered while shaking her head, "Anyways, phone call, from Bakura."
That got Malik's full attention; he raced out for the phone before Isis could even get out of the way. And that's how Malik stepped on his dear sister's foot.
"Oww, MALIK! Watch where you're going!"
"How long do I have to wait for that---"
"Yami! I have to call Yugi, get off the phone!"
"Ryou?"
"I'm using the phone in the bathroom!"
"Damn this thing, people can eavesdrop so easily. Well, wait! I have to talk to that Egyptian Blondie, he's taking forever!"
"But I have to talk to Yugi!"
"About what? The toilet?"
"Of course not!"
"Excuse me, is it a phone call for me?"
"Ryou, get off the phone, I have to talk to Malik in private."
"Fine."
Click. It appears that Ryou has hung off the phone in the bathroom.
"What is it Tomb Robber?"
"It's about the sweet little dare."
"I knew it."
"Now, let me tell you where you'll be heading with your sweetheart Téa."
"Bakura, shut up! Don't say Téa is my....my....argh, just don't say it!"
"Alright. But let's get on to business...."
The attempt had failed, but it was worth a try. Bakura will go on with his crazy dare no matter what; and especially a dare like this. Why did he do it anyways? Trying to be a matchmaker? Probably not, he's better at breaking people apart.
He sighed as he walked out of the room. He'll still try, no matter what.
"What's this?" Téa questioned herself as she sorted through the mail. There was this envelope that had nothing on it except two words "To Téa". 'Weird.' She thought. Téa ripped the envelope open and took out the content.
She sat down on her sofa as she read over the strange letter. 'This isn't so bad. Way better than what I imagined.' Téa put the letter on the coffee table and went to her room to change.
"This should be fine." She looked in the mirror. The mirror showed a reflection of a brunette wearing a bright yellow t-shirt, a pair of white denim pants, along with a pair of matching sandals.
Téa picked up all her accessories and placed them inside her red bag. She took a quick glance at the clock at left her home.
'I can't believe I'm doing this.'
'I cannot believe Yami said that.' He thought with bewilderment as he stirred his coffee. The memory of the conversation he and his yami had replayed in his mind.
FLASHBACK
"What?!!" he screamed into the phone. Two seconds later, he slammed the phone down so hard that it almost broke the table.
"What's wrong aibou?"
"Damn that Tomb Robber!!" the platinum hair boy yelled.
"Tell me what he has done, so I can finally send him to the Shadow Realm!" the other, but much darker, platinum blonde said.
"He...I...I have to go to the mall with the friendship preacher!" his light violet eyes looked furiously at the other guy. Then he began to stomp towards his room.
"What's wrong with the mall?"
He stopped stomping, his light violet eyes turned and he stared at his yami, hard. It was a minute before he could manage out a single word, "What?!"
END OF FLASHBACK
'Has he ever been to the mall?' Malik Ishtar thought, taking a sip at his coffee. 'Has he ever seen those crazy girls at the mall, buying a huge amount of clothing and spend almost a whole day at that wicked place?' Malik looked out the café's window and stared at the huge white building. Many people are going into that building, and soon he will be too.
Malik sighed, why is he doing this? And why?! Why?!! Why in the name of Ra does Bakura have to pick the mall?!!! 'He even said "let's start simple for today". If this is simple, then I cannot wait to see what else he has planned.' Malik thought sarcastically.
"And where in the world is that friendship preacher?!!!" he thought out loud, causing everyone in the shop to stop what they were doing and turn to look at Malik.
Silence.
The shop bell gave a hearty jingle as the door opened, breaking the unusual peacefulness. Everyone stopped staring, and the business resumed.
Malik let out the breathe he was holding and took a huge sip of his coffee. That was definitely something Malik will not do again.
He looked up as a shadow poured over his coffee.
"You are finally here." Malik said with hints of annoyance in his voice.
"Excuse me, but I didn't know where we're suppose to meet here until half an hour ago." Téa shot back.
They are now in a quiet little café near the Domino Mall, it is their first date's meeting place. Malik had been waiting for ten minutes, and Téa just showed up.
"Whatever." Malik looked away. He was annoyed that he's actually doing this, and even more annoyed at the fact that they are going the mall.
"Then let's go!" Téa said with excitement.
"Let's sit here for a little more. I have to finish my coffee." Malik said, clearly not wanting to go.
No response came.
Malik looked at Téa, who is currently standing. Malik noticed that her outfit was somewhat cute, but that did not matter; he is not someone who would fall easily for some girl, and especially not the friendship lecturer. "Sit down!"
"Don't command me Malik Ishtar! You have no right!" Téa still sat down though, but with a blast of rage. This is not someone she wanted to be with. "And I thought you've changed..." Téa muttered.
"What are you muttering?! If you don't like something, then say it!"
"It's a free country for goodness sake!" Téa cried out. She is starting to hate Malik.
"Well it's not free anymore if you're talking about me!" Malik argued. He hate it when people are talking about him behind his back, even worse; just muttering about him right in his face!
"I wasn't talking about you!!" Téa protested.
"Sure, you weren't." Malik said sarcastically. He knew he would never get along with her.
Téa kept quiet. She didn't feel like arguing anymore, and there's no point; he would just find some thing to get back at you, you'll never win. 'And I thought today might be fun, since we're going to....'
"Let's go." Malik interrupted Téa's thought with his commanding voice.
Malik left some bill on the table, and left. Téa stood up hastily and followed Malik. This might not be the best day for shopping.
"Can we go now?" Malik whined. He hated doing this, but he wants to go home. They've been at the mall for the whole morning, and he didn't enjoy one second of it. This is some date, all Téa does is picking out clothes and try them on (Malik actually liked some of the outfits that Téa tried on), and all he can do is carry the large shopping bags for her.
"Just one more shop!" Téa replied happily. She was actually enjoying this; the mall can always clear out her worries. Téa loved shopping, it's always fun.
"You always say that!"
"Hang on; I have to try this on!" Téa said, holding out a baby blue dress. She flashed a smile at Malik and went to the changing room.
'This is not a date, its pure torture!!!' Malik dropped all the shopping bags he was holding, and cried out, "WHY ME?!!!"
Everyone in the store turned and looked at Malik, the song that was playing in the store just happens to be finished.
Silence.
"How do I look?" Téa interrupted as she opened the change room door.
Everyone went back to their own business.
Malik mentally slapped himself, he must never ever yell out in public places. On the other hand, he looked at Téa. And he was taken away.
Téa was looking at herself in the mirror. But the baby blue dress fitted her perfectly. The dress was just above her knees, floating softly. The dress showed her features very well, but there was just something missing.
"Well?" Téa turned around and looked at Malik, except Malik was no where to be seen; and on the floor were the shopping bags he was carrying.
'Malik Ishtar!!!' Téa mentally screamed. She could not believe he just left her, with all those heavy bags; and to think she was going to thank him by treating him to a lunch!
Téa turned around and looked at herself in the mirror. 'Forget about Malik.' She told herself, 'this dress is great! It's the best that I've seen yet!¡¯
"It looks perfect on you!"
To be Continued.....
FQ: This is only part 1 of their first date, for the second part; please stay tuned!
Bakura: I'm good. *snicker*
Joey: As if.
FQ: I have to explain something though. Ryou was able to talk to Bakura on the phone is because he used the one that was in the bathroom of his house. The phone Bakura was using had the same line as Ryou, so they can hear each other. Hope that helps your understanding of that part!
Seto: They probably know it already, who needs you to tell me about technology?!
FQ: Hey! You might consider being nice to me, or I'll put you in this too!
Seto: As if.
FQ: Just watch me. Anyway, reviews please!!!
