A Fantastic Story
Chapter 17 - Date

"Is this seat taken?" a voice came from behind Tristan. Tristan turned around to see Kaiba standing there.

"What are you doing here?" Tristan asked.

"I was worried about you," Kaiba replied while Tristan found it hard to believe him.

"How did you find me?"

"Well, you're not that easy to miss," Kaiba sat as he sat down on the seat opposite him. "Come on, let me buy you something to eat. It looks like you could use the company."

Tristan gave Kaiba a weird look. What could he be up to?

Meanwhile, on the roof of Domino City high school, the door opened and there were footsteps coming out from it.

Tea suddenly appeared with Yugi holding her hand. They were both blushing, but neither of them noticed each other were doing it.

"Remember this place Yugi?" Tea asked.

"Yeah, it's where we first meet," Yugi replied as he looked around the place.

"And remember when you would always come up here when ever you would have a problem?"

"Yeah, I remember…I could forgot everything up here…but they would still be there," Yugi said as he let go of Tea's hand, sat down on the concrete and looked up at the stars. Tea did the same thing. The two sat in silence for a while until Yugi spoke again. "So, how was your date the other night."

"Huh?"

---Flashback---

"Hey Tea," Yugi greeted as she entered the lab as he was working on the machine. "Up to much today?"

Tea hesitated for a moment.

'Okay Tea, do that thing that Mai told you to do, to get a guy interested in you…What was it again?' she thought to herself. 'Oh yeah, make him jealous.'

"Hello? Tea?" Yugi said stretched out his arm from where he was and waved his hand in front of her face. "Anybody in there?"

"Huh?" Tea responded as she snapped out of her deep thought.

"Are you okay? I asked you a question and then you just blanked out."

"Oh, I'm okay! I was just thinking about my date tonight."

"A date?" Yugi said curiously as he stopped what he was doing and turned around. "With who?"

"Just with this guy I met a couple of days ago."

"Oh…" Yugi replied, and then suddenly went back to work. "I hope it goes well."

"Yeah, me too," Tea said sounding little disappointed in Yugi's reaction, turned around and went out the lab.

'Darn it! It didn't work!' Tea thought.

'Darn it! I missed my chance!' Yugi thought to himself as he continued working.

---End Flashback---

"…Oh, that date. I didn't work out."

"Why not?" Yugi asked, as he thought 'Yes!'

"He just wasn't my type."

"Oh really, so what is your type?" Yugi asked. 'Please say me!'

'Just say him!' Tea thought to herself.

"Maybe what you need is a better man…a stronger man," Yugi said as he used his powers to make his chin wider and his muscles bigger. This made Tea laugh.

"I don't know…it guess someone who makes me laugh, someone who treats me as if I exist and that I'm not just some silly girl standing in the background. Someone like my best friend…" Tea softly said as she and Yugi stared at each other until they both found themselves leaning into each other.

Suddenly, Tea pulled away when she heard something.

"Is someone up there?" A worker from the school said as he opened the door and looked out onto the rooftop. No one was there. He then closed the door and went back down the stairs.

Tea and Yugi appeared again.

'Darn it! So close!' Both Tea and Yugi thought to themselves before they looked back at each other again.

"Err…maybe we should get back," Tea said. 'No! No! Let's stay here!'

"Yeah, we should," Yugi replied. 'You've really blown it this time!'

They both stood up with disappointed looks on their face and disappeared again.

Tristan had just finished his third plate of food and he was just about to start on the forth. Now normally he wouldn't of let Kaiba by him food (In-case in was poisoned), but he hadn't eaten all day and he wasn't one to turn down free food. Kaiba sat opposite him a little digested, but he tried ever so hard not to show it.

"I know it can't be easy," Kaiba said. "Life hasn't changed much for Yugi, Tea or Wheeler. At least they can go out in public. But with you, people stare and whisper behind your back…"

"If you're trying to cheer me up, you're not doing a very good job at it scar-face," Tristan replied before take another mouth fall of food.

"I'm just saying…I know what it's like to lose something you love. To see it slip away and know it's never coming back."

"But Yugi and the professor are going to fix me up and we will all get back to normal."

"For your sake, I hope you're right…sorry if I sound sceptical."

"Sceptical?" a confused Tristan replied, unsure what it meant.

"Look…" Kaiba said as he lent forward a bit and his voice deepened little. "Yugi's a good guy and we can assume he's working as hard as he can. Well, him and the other two. He's one of your best friends. So what possible reason could he have for taking his time? I mean, other than getting close to another best friend…"

Tristan suddenly looked up at Kaiba, realising he had a point.
