You are my Super
Star
chapter 15—Tristan and Duke Interrupted!
by YYY
"ARRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Everyone scream and falls to the ground.
"Hey, what's going on?" Someone comes up and asks.
"Tristan? Is that you?" Seto says.
"Yeah. Duke and I came to see what you guys are doing." Tristan says.
"Duke?" Tristan then realizes that the ghostly figure is actually Duke.
"Damn it, Duke! You have black, white and bloody red makeup! And you're wearing black Goth outfit on top of that! Don't go around graveyard sneaking up on people. You're going to give us a heart attack!" Seto says.
"What are you two doing here in the graveyard in the middle of the night?" Joey asks Tristan and Duke.
"We're on a date." Tristan says.
"You two come to the graveyard to have a date? That is soooo sweet! It's Romantic!" Joey cheers.
"Romantic?" Seto asks Joey.
"Don't you think so? I bet Tristan comes here to have a date because Duke is into places like this. Tristan is so nice to do things like the for Duke!' Joey beams.
The little bunny turns to his friends and introduces, "guys, this is Tristan and Duke, they're in my band."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Hakkai, this is Sanzo and Gojyo." Hakkai says to Tristan.
"I'm Yugi, it's nice meeting you!" Yugi says. He tries to shake Duke's hand and then he realizes Duke's hand is all wrapped up with bandages.
"What happened to your hand? Were you in a fight?" Yugi asks, but Duke doesn't answers.
"Sorry, Yugi, Duke doesn't talk. So, what are you guys doing here?" Tristan asks.
"We're digging my friend up." Joey says.
"What?" Tritan asks, not sure why Joey will be digging for a friend in the middle of the night at the graveyard.
"He buried his friend for fun. It's a game they play. Joey pretends his friend is dead and buries him, after doing a ceremony they dig him up again." Seto lies. That sounds silly but Seto is hoping Tristan will believe him since Joey is a silly person.
"Really! That sounds fun! That sounds like something that Duke will love to do! Can you guys bury Duke next time?" Tristan asks. Not only Tristan believes Seto, but Tristan wants to join in the burial. O.o;;;
"Got it!" Joey shouts. They have reached Yami's cast. Joey opens the cast and Yami gets back into his body.
"Yami?" Yugi looks down at the hole Joey just dug. Yami jumps out from there and lands in front of Yugi.
"Yami!" Yugi cries as he runs into Yami's arms. Tristan claps his hands.
"This is so much fun! Bury Duke next time, okay?" Tristan smiles, "oh, hey, guys, Duke and I are having a picnic! You guys want something to eat?"
"Yes! I'm so hungry! I didn't eat anything before I went to hell." Joey says.
"You went to hell?" Tristan asks.
"Hmm…" Joey says.
"That sounds so much fun! It must be an amazing game. You have to let Duke and I join in next time." Tristan asks.
"Let's just go and eat." Seto says.
"Alright." Tristan says. He takes everyone to the center of the graveyard. The whole place is lighted with candles and there is a blanket on the floor. On top of the blanket there is a shelf filled with cakes and cookies. Duke sits down on top of the corner of the blanket and pours hot chocolate into different cups.
"There are enough food here to feed the whole Hong Kong." Seto says.
"There are still more on the car." Tristan says.
"How come you bring so much food? You two don't eat that much." Seto asks.
"The fun is not in eating them, the fun happens when you're making them." Tristan smiles.
"Wow, you made all these! You're amazing! How can you make so much cakes?" Joey asks.
"I didn't make them. Duke did." Tristan answers.
"Duke made all these?" Everyone blinks. It's easy to imagine the scary looking Duke to be an assassin or even a vampire, but no one can honestly see Duke wearing an apron baking heart-shape cookies.
"I thought you are the one who bake this." Joey says to Tristan.
"Duke's uncle and aunt own a bakery, he knows how to bake before he knows how to read. I can't bake. I tried to help but end up making a mess. Duke wounded his hand trying to help me." Tristan says.
"That's so heroic, Duke! Sorry I thought your hand is wounded because you were in a fight." Yugi says. Duke just gives Yugi a cookie.
"Duke, these look awsome!" Joey says as he picks up a piece of cookie. The bunny takes a bite out of the cookie and says, "yummy! Yugi, you have to try this!"
Yugi tastes a piece of cookie and says, "Yummy!"
"Seto! I know you love apple! You have to try this apple spiced cake!" Joey says. He sticks a piece of apple cake in front of Seto. Seto takes a bite out of it and says, "taste good."
"You know, Seto. This is the first time ever see you eating out of someone's hand." Tristan says, "it's nice to see you getting close to someone."
"Just eat your cookie, will you?" Seto grunts.
Tristan smiles and says, "You guys, try the hot chocolate. Duke made the best chocolate in the world!"
"Hot chocolate! Yummy!" Joey cheers, "you made the hot chocolate too? That's amazing! You have to teach me how to make it sometimes!"
Duke smiles and puts some extra marshmallows into Joey's cup. He adds some into Yugi's cup too.
"Thank you!" The two boys say together.
"I'm sorry we interrupted your date." Joey says.
"Don't worry about it. Sorry we interrupted your game, too. We didn't mean to scare you guys, we thought you guys were grave robbers. By the way, who own the car? That car is sweet!" Tristan asks.
"What car?" Seto asks.
"The car that was parking right over there. We thought it was the car of one of you guys." Tristan asks.
"We all took the company van here. No one else was driving." Seto says.
"Strange. Who can that be then? No one was here besides you guys." Tristan says, "when Duke and I see the car, we thought it was really strange that someone will be driving up here in the middle of the night. That's why we showed up at where you guys were digging. We were looking around to see who would be driving to a graveyard in the middle of the night."
"I was wondering why you would go sneaking around at Yami's grave." Seto says.
"Sorry, we didn't mean to sneak up on you, we though you were grave robbers who were stealing from rich people. The car is really expensive and it parked at somewhere very dark too, as if it wants to be hidden. When we saw you guys digging we were like 'they're stealing from the grave to buy another nice car.'" Tristan says.
"Tristan…" Seto says as he remembers something. "That mystery car, does it happens to be a sport car, red sport car?"
"Yeah, it's bright red. I remember thinking how stupid it is for a grave robber to use a red car, that colour is way too eye-catching. There is no way it can be a good escape car if things go wrong." Tristan says.
"And you didn't see anyone in the graveyard besides us?" Seto says.
"I don't think so. There are no other people here except you guys." Tristan says, "I look through the whole grave yard already."
"Show me where the car is." Seto says.
"Okay." Tristan leads the way. They arrive under a tree. "the car was right here! I swear!"
"There are tire tracks around here, fresh tire track." Yami says.
"What's going on?" Tristan asks.
"Someone was trying to run Joey down with a red sport car earlier." Seto says.
"Should we get to somewhere safer?" Yami asks.
"Don't worry about it. The car is gone so the killer must be gone too. Let's just get something to eat." Seto says.
"I want to try the chocolate covered strawberries!" Joey runs back to the picnic place. Seto watches as Joey smiles happily.
"Seto, is everything alright?" Yugi asks.
"I'm fine." Seto says.
"You know, if you love him, why don't you ask him to stay on earth with you?" Yugi asks.
Seto is quiet.
"You're sad cause he is leaving, right? He doesn't have to be. You are willing to jump down to a pit of fire for him; and he would do the same to you. He loves you just as much as you love him. If you tell him how you love him and how much he wants you to stay with him, he will stay with you." Yugi says.
Seto is quiet still.
After the picnic, Duke and Tristan take the group to a children center. "We always bring our cookies here after we finished our picnic." Tristan tells the other.
"Children!" Joey runs up to them. All the kids run up to Joey and hug Joey at his legs.
"Hey! Watch out!" Joey falls on the floor. The kids climb all over Joey. Seto watches as Joey laughs.
There is no way Joey can make it on earth. Joey is too kind and sweet. Joey belongs to the garden of the moon palace. He belongs to the children's dreams.
"Joey, don't feed those kids so much cookies. They're going to have a sugar high. Come on, let's get home and let them sleep. You need to record your single so you can get home."
"Okay." Joey says, "well, bye bye, children."
"Bye!" The children wave.
"Well, we're going home. See you tomorrow at the Agency." Tristan and Duke left.
"We're going home too. It had been a long day." Yugi and Yami left too.
"Why don't you guys come back to my house?" Seto asks Sanzo, Hakkai and Gojyo.
"Are you sure it's not too much trouble?" Sanzo says.
"Nah, I live by myself. Beside, Joey stayed cause he needs to record a single for me. You are stuck on earth because of me." Seto says. He takes everyone to his house.
"I'm beat! I'm going to bed!" Joey says. He drops onto the couch and falls asleep at once.
"That mutt is actually sleeping? I thought he never sleeps." Seto says. He carries Joey back to the bedroom and puts Joey on the bed.
Seto puts a blanket over Joey. He then gives Sanzo, Hakkai and Gojyo some change of clothes. "Here, you can have some of my father's clothes. They're from the sponsors and my dad never wears them. You can take the guestrooms at the end of the hall. Call the maid if you need anything. I'm going do something on the Internet in the computer room." Seto says.
"Thank you, Seto. You got a really nice house here." Hakkai says.
"It my dad's place. I only come back here to sleep." Seto says, "good night."
Sanzo gets to the guestroom and gets changed. He then lies on the bed looking to the ceiling. He is really tired but he can't sleep. After an hour of trying to sleep, Sanzo gets up and gets out of the room.
He walks down the hall where Seto's computer room is. Seto has fallen asleep in front of the computer. Sanzo walks up and sees that Seto is actually typing out the lyrics of Joey's single. Seto senses someone standing next to him in his sleeps and wakes up.
"I'm sorry, did I wake you?" Sanzo asks.
"No, I should not be sleeping yet anyway. I need to type out Joey's lyric and put it on the Internet. I want all the fans to know how to sing the song when the single comes out." Seto says as he starts typing again.
Sanzo reads the song as Seto starts typing,
…We belongs
together,
I'll look for you even if it takes forever and
ever.
No matter how hard it is, how long it takes,
I'll never
give up my hope until we're one again.
Please trust in me, trust
in the love I have for you.
Believe in our love, we'll meet
again.
Even the seven deserts cannot separate us.
Our love bind
us together,
we will be one again.
Our love bind us
together,
we will be one again…
"Joey wrote that?" Sanzo says.
"Yeah, I think Joey got inspired by Yugi's feeling to Yami. But then again, a lot of people feels that way once in a while, do they?" Seto says.
"I guess…" Sanzo says.
"Even you?" Seto asks.
Sanzo doesn't answers.
"Well, I'm going to go to bed. You can listen to the song if you want. Good night." Seto leaves his computer room.
Sanzo sits down at Seto's desk and puts on the headphone. Joey's enchanting voices come through.
"I hope you're doing well, you damn monkey…" Sanzo mutters.
TBC…
