A Spiderman Story
Chapter 14 - Job

"What else did you do then?" Mai asked.

"Well, it all started on that night I watched the people of Domino City give their opinion on Spiderman, then…"

---Flashback---

Seto came down the stairs, still half asleep.

"Yugi? When did you get in?" he asked.

"Oh, just a few minutes ago," Yugi replied as he put the paper down and Seto sat down next to him. "They're talking about this Spiderman guy on the TV. What do you think of him?"

"He's nothing but one big hoax

Meanwhile, on the TV program…

"Tonight we have, the head of the Daily Bugle, Mr Duke Devlin," the chat-show host said. "So Duke, who is this Spiderman?"

"Who is Spiderman?" Duke replied. "He's a criminal, that's what I tell you, a vigilante, a public menace. I'm even appalled he's on my front page."

"But how can he be a criminal? Didn't he pull out six people from a crashed subway car?"

"Yeah, from a wreck he probably caused. Something goes wrong and he suddenly is there. Look, he's fleeing the scene, what does that tell you?" Duke said a he held up a black and white picture of something flying away in the distance.

≤≤Back in the apartment≤≤

"I…he's not fleeing! I was…I mean, he was going to help someone else!" Yugi stood and yelled at the television. "…Or so I presume that was what he was doing."

"Whoa Yugi, calm down! They can't hear you," Seto replied, a little surprised by Yugi strange behaviour.

"Sorry," Yugi said as he sat back down. "It's been a long day."

"What happened?"

"Well, for one thing I got fired from my job."

"What! Why?"

"It was late…"

"Late again? I don't get it, where do you go all this time?"

"Umm…around."

"What are you going to do now then?"

Meanwhile, back on the television screen…

"This picture of Spiderman isn't very good," the host said to Duke. "He's been at it for a little over a week now. Isn't there any decent pictures of him?"

"No, that's why I ask the people of Domino City. If you have a decent picture of this menace, there will be a big reward waiting for you!"

Yugi turned back to Seto once he saw the scene on the television.

"Oh, I'll think of something."

---End Flashback---

"Wow, that was a big coincidence," Mai said.

"Yeah," Yugi replied. "That night I took my camera along with me and I put it on self-timer, so it would take pictures of me fighting criminal and saving the day."

"I bet they were good."

"Yep…well, they would have been, except that that I forgot to put film in the camera."

"Yugi, are such an idiot!"

"I know," Yugi sadly said as he dropped his head in shame. But then he bounced back up. "But when I did finally got then, after forgetting the film several times, they were pretty good. I was on my way to take them to the Daily Bugle, when…"

---Flashback---

I was walking along the street until a familiar face pasted me…

"Hey!" Yugi yelled as he began to chase after the person he recognised.

"Buss off!" she replied, thinking it was someone else.

"Tea it me, Yugi."

"Hi!" Tea replied as he caught up with her. They both stopped. "What are you doing around here?"

"I'm trying to get a job," Yugi replied as he held up his folder containing his portfolio. "How about you?"

"Oh…I'm heading for an audition."

"An audition?" so you're dancing professionally now?"

"Yeah…I work steady. In fact, I just got off a job."

"That's great Tea! You're doing it! Living the dream…"

"Hey!" A voice yelled from across the street behind them. "Glamour girl, your drawer was short six yen! Next time that happens, I'm going to take it out of your cheque! Excuse me, Miss Gardner, I'm talking to you! Do you get me?"

"Yes! Enrique, okay, I get you!" Tea yelled back at him.

"Well it better not happen any more!" he yelled before going back into the small café behind him.

Tea turned back to Yugi and opened up her long coat to reveal she was wearing a waitress uniform.

"Some dream huh?"

"That's nothing to be embarrassed about," Yugi replied. "We all have to start off some where."

"Don't tell Seto."

"Don't tell Seto?"

"Yeah, aren't you guys living together? We're going out, didn't he tell you?"

"Oh…yeah."

"I'd think he'd despise the idea of me waiting table. He'd probably think it was low."

"That's not low, you have a job. It's just Seto, doesn't really live in a place we call Earth."

"No, I guess not," Tea chuckled. "Thanks Yugi, we should can up some time." Tea started to walk away. Yami came out.

/--Go on Yugi, ask her. You know you want to! --/

/-Yami no, I'm not going to just say…-/

"Let's get some lunch some time…" Yugi said out loud as Tea suddenly stopped and looked back at him. "Err…I come by and have some of your coffee some time. And I won't tell Seto!"

"No, don't tell Seto."

"I won't!" Yugi yelled as he watched her walk away until she was out of sight. Yugi suddenly remembered something and looked at his watch.

/-Oh god, I've got to go! -/

Yugi immediately ran off, leaving Yami standing there.

/--Where are we going? --/
