As the curtain opened up, we can hear 'Part of Your World' being played by a Flute of the Summoning Dragon. We then see a castle and at a close-up, we see Seto Kaiba playing his Flute of the Summoning Dragon to the song and Joey, still dressed in a dog costumelying down in front of him.Kaiba stops for a moment and gets up. Joey gets up as well and goes to his nemesis's side.

"Woof, woof!" the hot-tempered kid in a dog suit cried.

"That voice, I can't get it out of my head." Kaiba said as he paced across the sandy beach. He then bent down and pets the head of his nemesis's friend. "I've looked everywhere, mutt. Where could she be?"

The scene changes to another part of the beach andTea Gardner is lying on a rock and tired.Tristan andYugi are with her and they were tired from all that swimming they had to do.Tristan collapsed on a rock he crawled on when he got on it. Tea turned around and when she did, a pair of legs came out of the water. It startled her at first, but when she lifted one, she realized they were hers. She looked at one of her feet, began to wiggle her toes, and smiled in delight.

"Well, look at what the catfish dragged in!" A very familiar duel monster voice called.

Flying Penguin came down and perched himself on one of Tea's legs. "Look at ya, look at ya. There's something different." He said. "Wait, wait I got it it's your hair do right? You've been using the dingle hopper right?"

Tea shook her head in response to Flying Penguin's question.

"No? Ok let me see…" He leaned on Tea's foot and began thinking. "New seashells?"

Tea gave him an annoyed look but then had an idea and began to move the leg Flying Penguin was on up and down.

"No new seashells, huh? I've gotta admit there's something new if I just stand here long enough I bet I can…"

"She's got legs you moron!" Tristan finally yelled.

Flying Penguin got scared and flew off Tea's leg finally realizing it. He then flew over to Tristan and Yugi.

"She traded her voice to the sea witch and got legs. Jeez man!"Tristan said in disgust.

"I knew that." Flying Penguin said.

"Tea's been turned into a human! She's gotta fall in love with this prince and he's gotta, he's gotta kiss her." Yugiexplained.

Tea, on the other hand, tried standing up for the very first time but she began to loose her balance and fell.

"And she's only got three days!"Tristan finished Yugi's explanation just as Tea hit the water and splashed them.Flying Penguin was soaked and had a patch of seaweed on his beak.

"Just look at her! On legs, on human legs!"Tristan yelled, then inhaled as if he was dying. "My nerves are shot! This is a catastrophe! Do you know whatthe pharaoh will say? I'll tell you whatthe Pharaoh will say, he's gonna kill himself a crab, that's what he'll say!"

Other than Tristan's frantic yelling, Tea was getting up and getting the seaweed out of her hair.

"I'm gonna march myself strait to the King of Games just as I should've done…"

Tea, hearing this, sawTristanstarting to head into the water and then she shook her head frantically trying to make him change his mind.

"And don't you shake your head at me, girl! Maybe there's still time. We can go back to the sea witch and get your voice back." Tristan began but Tea, again, shook her head saying "No" but Tristan continued. "We can take you home back with all the normal water duel monsters and you'll just be…" Tristan said but when he saw Tea giving him a sad look, his voice trailed off. "Just be miserable for the rest of your life. Alright, alright, I'll help you find your prince." Tristan said giving up.

After he said that,Tea gave him a kiss on the cheek. Tristanputhisclaw on his forehead and shook his head.

"Boy, what a soft shell I turned out to be." He said.

Flying Penguin, flew to where a wrecked boat was and began explaining something to Tea while grabbing a sail. "Now Tea, I'm telling ya if you wanna look human the first thing ya gotta do is dress like one. Now let me see…"

The scene changes back to Seto Kaiba and Joey, still wearing a dog suit walking along the shore. Joey saw something and he turned his head a little before frantically running around Kaiba.

"Woof, woof! Woof, woof!"

"What is it mutt?"Kaiba asked his arch-rival's friend.

"WOOF!" Joey said running off.

"WHEELER! COME BACK HERE!" Kaiba shouted running after him.

The scene changes to Tea and the three other duel monsters. Flying Penguin did a wolf whistle while looking at Tea. Tea was wearing the sail as if it was a dress, sort of.

"You look great Gardener, sensational!"

"Woof, woof!" Came a voice.

Then Joey came out and ran to Tea.Tristan got scared and ran to hide in the sail just as Joey came up to Tea jumping around everywhere.Tea tried to hide from Joey or at least get away by getting on a rock but Joey jumped and gave her a couple of hugs.

"Woof, Woof!" Came another voice.

Joey stopped jumping on Tea and headed towards the voice. When the person who had the voice cleared around the corner of a rock Tea realized who it was. It was Seto Kaiba himself. Joey ran to him and began jumping around him.Kaiba bent down and ignored Joey.

"Now what, Wheeler?" Kaiba asked just as he noticed Tea. His head perked up when he did. "Oh, I see."

Tea messed with her hair a little trying to look her best for Kaiba.

"What are you doing here?" Kaiba asked as he walked up to her. "Sorry if this mangy, flea-bitten mutt scared ya, but he's pretty harmless once you get to know him." Kaiba said referring to his rival's friend. He then noticed Tea was smiling at him but he also noticed she looked familiar. "You…look familiar from someplace. Have we met?"Kaiba asked.

Tea nodded her head still smiling.

"We have?"

He then took her hands in his. "Then you're the one, the one I've been looking for! What's your name?"

Tea tried to say her name but remembered she doesn't have her voice so she held her hand to her throat and had a sad look on her face.

"What's wrong?" Kaiba demanded.

She gestured towards her throat.

"You can't speak?"

She shook her head in response.

"Oh, then, forget it. I guess you're not the girl I'm looking for." Kaiba said in disappointment.

Joey just anime sighed with a little, "Woof…"

Tea just blew her hair to her side. She then remembered to use body language and tried to gesture to Kaiba of what happened to her.

"Now, what?" Kaiba asked. He then began guessing what was wrong with her before Tea lost her balance and fell right into Kaiba's strong arms. When they locked their eyes together, they both couldn't help but to stare.

"You must've had quite and experience. Let's go, maybe I can help you." Kaiba said as he began to walk her to his palace.

Tea looked behind her and saw Flying Penguin and Yugi.

Yugi was giving her a thumb up just as the scene ended.

End Act two, scene 1

Act two, Scene 2

Tea is in a bathtub full of bubbles. She looks at one with curiosity but it popped and she formed another while the nanny, or who we all know as Ishizu Ishar, is washing her clean.

"Washed up from a shipwreck! Oh, the poor thing." She said rinsing Tea off. "We'll have you fixed up in no time."

Tristan stuck his head from behind the so-called 'dress' Flying Penguin made her wear only to have it picked up by Ishizu. He quickly hid back into the pocket and tried to stay hidden. Ishizu looked at it giving it an awkward look at it.

"I'll just have this uh…washed for you." She said before placing it outside where some ladies are washing laundry.

The ladies were discussing about Tea, the fact Seto Kaiba was single, and other things. The ladies were a few ladies like Isis, Mana, plus many more. Tristan wasbeing stuck being washed with the 'dress' and when the squeeze thing (whatever that's called) squeezed it dry; he was flat as a pancake and he ended up going into the kitchen.

The kitchen, to Tristan, was a gross site.

All around there were signs that the chef was cooking seafood.

A fish had its body and head cut apart by a clever and whenTristan saw some stuffed crabs, he fainted.

Dining room

Kaiba was by the windows while he and Roland were discussing the girl who saved him.

"Oh come on Mister Kaiba, be reasonable." Roland said to his friend trying to make him change his mind. "Nice girls don't just save people and flutter off like they never…"

"I'm telling you Roland, she's real and I'm going to find her!" Kaiba stated rudely interrupting Roland before facing the window and putting his arm on it. "And I'm going to marry her."

Giggling could be heard from Marik's sister as he and Roland turned to see her and a beautiful figure standing at the entrance.

"Now don't be shy dear." Ishizu encouraged Tea as she began to walk into the dining room.

When Tea was out of the shadows, she was seen in a stunning pink and white dress with her hair with a bow in it along with jewelry on. When Kaiba saw her, he thought he had died and gone to heaven. He stared at her as if he was in a trance and couldn't take his eyes off her.

"Oh, Mister Kaiba isn't she a vision?" Roland asked being impressed by how beautiful Tea was.

Tea looked at Kaiba, noticing the small blush on his face. He stared at her up and down and then recovered.

"Uh…you look wonderful." Kaiba muttered.

It was Tea's turn to blush as she tried to hide it from Kaiba, hearing his comment. Roland then took her hand and led her to her seat.Kaiba just couldn't stop staring at her; the only thought in his mind was, ''Sure she's beautiful and all! Of course Seto Kaiba, you've always known she was a stupid baka cheerleader of Yugi Muoto!''.

"Come, come you must be hungry my dear." Roland said.

Kaiba came up to her and pulled her chair out and let her be seated being a true gentleman. The real Tea sincerely thought that Seto Kaiba was a real total jerk after all those years. Tea then noticed a fork among her silverware; while Kaiba and Roland were discussing something, she took it and began combing her hair for a while. The room went silent asTea looked at the two of them noticing the awkward looks they were giving her. Embarrassed, she put the fork down; but then she noticed Roland's pipe. Noticing she was looking at his pipe, Roland handed it to her.

"Would you light it?" Roland asked as she took it. "It's very…"

Before he could finish, she blew into it blowing black smoke all over Roland's face. When the smoke cleared, Roland's face was almost completely black. Kaiba and the audience let out laughter as Tea gave it back. Ishizu, noticing Seto Kaiba's laughter went over to him.

"Kaiba, that's the first time I've seen you smile in weeks!" she complimented.

Roland cleaned his face straightening out. "How very amusing." He said before asking what was for dinner. "Oh, young lady, what is on the menu for this evening?"

"Oh, you'll love it!" she said. "The chef's been preparing his special, stuffed crab."

Kitchen

Tristan looked from hiding seeing the chef pulling out a bowl of dead fishes from the oven. He was singing things in Japanese and more before straightening his bow tie and clearing his throat beginning the song, '' Sushi''.

"Ah, Sushi
Ah, Sushi
How I lovesuch Sushi
Love to chop..."

He sang just as he took the clever and sliced off a fish's head. Tristan cringed, hearing the clever chop and watching it. He closed his eyes and cringed again hearing three chops repeatedly. As he continued to be sickened by the chef's cooking, Marik kept singing.

"And to serve little fish
First I cut off their heads
Then I pull out the bones
Ah mais hai
Shikitari delish..."

(Oh, in case some of you are wondering what he's singing in French, ask someone who's fluent in the language.)

Tristan felt like he was going to be sick by the way Marik was going to cook his fellow sea creatures. Marik kept on chopping away at fish heads and singing at the same time while preparing dinner.

"Ah, Sushi
Ah, sushi
Hee hee hee
Hah hah hah
With the cleaver I hack them in two..."

He chopped off another fish's head just asTristan was going to run, the fish head landed right in front of him and he stopped in fright. Marik kept on singing and preparing the fish for dinner.

"I pull out what's inside
And I serve it up fried
Ra, I love little fishes
Don't you?"

After cutting the fish's head off, Marik pulled out the insides of the fish and cooked it on a frying pan before serving it on a plate.

Tristan found a piece of lettuce and hid under it trying to sneak his way out of the kitchen. But Marik took a mallet and began smashing a fish flat.

"Here's something for tempting the palate
Prepared in the classic technique
First you pound the fish flat with a mallet..."

When Marik pounded the mallet, he flew off the counter along with other stuff on it. He hid again under the lettuce before hearing more gross stuff from Marik's preparations for the fish.

"Then you slash through the skin
Give the belly a slice
Then you rub some salt in
'Cause that makes it taste nice..."

When Marik was describing those horrid moves,Tristan cringed even more. Just after Marik put the salt on he rather was holding the fish body close to his cheek, he picked up the pieceTristan was under. Tristan, seeing his cover blown hid like a Des Turtle Crab into his shell.Turtle then picked him up before continuing.

"Great Winged Dragon of Ra, I have missed one!"
"Great Slifer!
What is this?
How on earth could I miss
Such a sweet little succulent Turtle Crab?"

After continuing he began to 'prepare'Tristan for dinner. First he put him in a bowl of sauce, then he dashed some flour on Tristan, then Marik took him and stuffed his mouth full of stuffing but he spit it out, and thenMarik tossed him towards a very hot pot.

"Holy Ra!
What a loss
Here we go in shoyu
Now some flour, I think
Just a dab
Now I stuff you with bread
It don't hurt 'cause you're dead
And you're certainly lucky you are
'Cause it's gonna be hot
In my big silver pot
Toodle loo mon Sushi
Sayonnara!"

Just as the song ended,Tristan held on to the inside of the pot before a bubble popped burning him out of the pot and onto the counter. Marik, hearing it looked over to it being confused.Tristan hid again just as Marik took a flipper, but Tristan's too big for the other kitchen utensil, and looked closer at Tristan.

"What in the Ra is this?" He asked just beforeTristan took his claw and pinched Marik's nose.

Marik screamed in pain as he held his nose.

Tristanjumped away from him just as Marik landed his hand on a frying pan. Again, he screamed in pain just as the frying pan landed on his foot. He held his foot and jumped around yelling 'ow' several times. He then took a bunch of knives and threw them at Tristan who hid under the counter. Marik went over there with his clever ready to slice and dice. Tristanthen took the bowl of sauce and put it over Marik's head. The bowl broke and now Marik was furious; he took his clever and sliced the counter but noticedTristan was gone and noticed he went to a shelf full of plates and pans. He ran over there with a mallet andTristan hid in the shelves just as Marik jumped and crashed into the shelves.

Dining room

Hearing the crash in the kitchen, Ishizu Tea, Roland, and Kaiba were wondering what was going on in the kitchen. Ishizu laughed nervously and looked at the three. "I think I'd better go see what my brother Marik is up to." She said before dashing to the kitchen to check on her brother.

Kitchen

The kitchen was a mess after Marik was in rage. He was still looking forTristan like a madman.

"Come on out and fight like a mon!" Marik roared before continuing his search.

"Marik!" Came his sister's angry voice, which made Marik hit his head as pots fell on him. "What are you doing?"

"I was just uh…" He said trying to explain but then shrugged and put out a flame on his mustache. "Gomen, dearest sister." He finally said grinning sheepishly.

Ishizu made an angry scoff before grabbing the three plates containing dinner and heading towards the dining room.

Dining room

"Now Mister Kaiba, I've been thinking with this new guest I think it would be wonderful if she would join you on say…a tour of the kingdom?" Roland inquired just as Ishizu came in with the food.

Kaiba wasn't paying attention but he was paying attention to the beauty sitting next to him. "Huh? Did you say something, Roland?"

"Come on Mister Kaiba! Don't be such a lazy bum and do something in your life." Roland stated as he lifted the lid of his plate up.

Tea looked noticingTristan was under it. He gestured her to shut up and she lifted her plate gesturing him to go under her lid. He did so before Kaiba and Roland finished their conversation and Tea quickly closed the lid and pretended nothing happened.

"So, would you like to join me on a tour of Battle City tomorrow?" Kaiba asked her.

She nodded with excitement saying, 'yes'.

"Wonderful then!" Roland exclaimed getting his fork ready. "Now let's eat before this...whatever this is...wanders off my plate!"

Just as Roland brought his fork down he only heard the fork hit the plate. When he looked, he noticedTristan wasn't there. Shocked by his word he was wondering where he had gone off to.

Later that night

Tea was in her warm and fluffy pajamas and watching Kaiba from her balcony. Kaiba was playing with Joey and dodging while he was at it. Joey sat at his nemesis' feet, barking unenthusiastically. Kaiba laughed as well and scratched his Joey's ears before looking up and noticing Tea. He smiled and gave her a wave. Startled, Tea blushed, smiled, and returned with a small wave before going back into her room.

"The things I do for you, Gardener." Tristan stated while Tea lay down on her bed and nearly sank into it, literally. "Tomorrow we've got to get that boy to kiss you. Now you have to bat your eyes like this…" He said demonstrating it. "And you've got to pucker up your lips like this…" He said again demonstrating but noticed she fell asleep.

He smiled, went and put the covers over her, and blew the candle out. He patted her head before going to sleep himself.

"You are hopeless girl, completely hopeless." He said, yawning as the scene ended.
