Author's Notes: I really wanted to update this two days ago so I'd actually have updated on April Fools Day! But this website was in that "read only" mode thingy. Then I was busy and had to help serve food for required community service. I'll update my other stories soon; I'm just on a role with this one. To make up for lack of update on April Fools Day, I've included a little gift at the end. Anyway, on to the voting status!
Seto
10
Yugi
6
Yami
2
Voting Notes: Ack! I kept changing this as new reviews came in. I changed it from Yugi winning to a tie to Seto winning and then to another tie and now Seto's winning again! Whoever has the most votes will get the most romantic hints in the chapter. But don't forget that the main genre of this fic is humor so any romance will be light and fluffy and will not have a major role in the fic. And if you are really unhappy with the way the voting is going...I suggest to keep voting!
Review Responses:
(Thank you to all my lovely reviewers! 27 reviews already! )
-Chapter 1-
kobear91: Thanks for being the first voter!
Avataria: Umm...a bit late to respond to your chapter 1 review but I hope I did a good job with the last chapter, I was kind of a bit skeptical about it.
HappyDevil: Thanks! You'll see what's coming soon, I have some ideas...
biocrazy: Thanks...but when you say thanks for making Tea more normal, do you mean compared to my other stories or to other people's stories?
shining star: Thanks! I love reading Yu-Gi-Oh humor – it's so hilarious! Especially the ones with the doom bikers!
AngelStar: I will!
QueenofHearts4u: Yay, you've reviewed another one of my stories! Anyway, I agree with you that Yami uses dueling to get out of any situation. It's so funny!
(anonymous person): Don't worry, I'm not stopping there, that was just a tiny cliffhanger.
-Chapter 2-
iLuvJoey: Yep, Kaiba didn't answer his question, but that was mainly because Joey was the one asking it...I might go back and edit that chapter if I have time later.
Computerfreak101: Nice username, anyway, thanks for the vote!
Setoglomper: Thanks for the vote and interesting how you decided! stares at Mr. Moo-Moo plushie Anyway, it's still a vote!
animespirit: I'll try to do it if Yami gets the most votes but since he and Yugi share the same body and Yugi has more votes than Yami so far, I'll see what I can do...
kim: Did you think Yami was idiotic? Hmm, the whole point was that he didn't know a lot about the future but I guess he could appear kind of like an idiot. I'll try to change that and thanks for pointing it out!
Dark Magician Grrl: Another nice username I've seen. I'll review some of your stories when I get the time...
Vyser Adept of Dragons: Thanks! I'll keep writing!
Mokuba's Official Glomper: Yes, I'm hoping Seto will win too! (But it's all up to the reviewers...)
animeaddict99: Thanks for reviewing this story also! And like I said for MOG, I hope Seto will win too but I'm letting the reviewers decide.
(anonymous person): Thanks! I don't know about perfect, this is just my little stress reliever fic!
Angel2003320: Yep, Seto is a bit ooc but if he wasn't then it would be really hard to write this. I tried to keep him in character as much as possible.
QueenofHearts4u: I never saw that scene, was it during the very beginning of the Battle Ship? Anyway, my favorite part was Joey doing the chicken dance also and your vote did make a difference! Yugi's catching up...
jojo: Umm, I can't really count that as a vote because you just said that Tea shouldn't be with Seto. So is it Yami or Yugi? Please review and tell me.
ObsessedWithYugioh: Ack! I'm updating! I'm updating! Call off the rabid, hungry evil monkeys that want to steal my sugar! I need my sugar!
Sugar and Spice and Not So Nice: You'll find out what's in the cupboard soon...
slytherinsess: Yep, I'll keep writing, thanks for the vote!
KIARA: I love the Seto x Tea pairing too and so far they're winning! Thanks for reviewing!
Cool Writer5: Yes, another vote in the direction I want! Oh wait, must remain neutral, must accept any pairing, must remain neutral repeats "must remain neutral" over and over again
Disclaimer: Let me spell it out for you. I – d-o – n-o-t – o-w-n – Y-u – G-i – O-h. Are you happy now?
oooooooooo
Joey Wheeler was in heaven. He had just found Kaiba's main kitchen and boy, did he have some good things to eat. "Dis is da life!" he thought, rummaging through the many packages.
"Joey?" Tristan asked. Pushing the door back against the wall, he found Joey lying on the ground with several packages of candy surrounding him. A goofy grin was on his face as he wolfed down the sweets.
"Idiot," Tristan remarked before joining Joey on the floor to guzzle candy.
"Uh, guys?" Yugi asked. "Where did Tea go?"
"I dunno," Joey responded, mouth full of candy.
"Kaiba?" Yugi turned his attention to the businessman. "Do you know where Tea went?"
"Why do I care?" he responded in monotone.
"Kaiba," Yugi's voice rose. "She's my friend. Do you think something happened to her?"
"What could happen to her in my mansion?" Seto scoffed.
Just then, Tea entered.
"Hey Tea, where were you?" Yugi inquired, very much relieved.
"Oh, umm, just looking around," she replied, avoiding eye contact with him and holding something behind her back. Walking over towards Joey and Tristan, she made no noise on the linoleum floor. Standing behind Joey, she could barely contain her excitement.
"One, two, three," she counted under her breath before dropping the item right on Joey's head.
"What the heck?" Joey exclaimed, finding an apple pie affixed to his rather large hairstyle. "Tea!" he growled.
Meanwhile, Tea was doubled over in laughter. "That was...so...funny!" she said in between giggles.
"No it wasn't!" Joey protested. Seeing an open cabinet, he pulled out two pies. Tea's eyes widened.
"Heh, bye Joey!" she said, dashing off.
"Ya not gonna get away dat easily!" Joey declared, throwing a pie. It spun through the air before finally landing on Yugi.
"Not the hair Joey!" Yugi said, watching the pie smash his carefully arranged spikes. Picking up another pie, he ran towards Joey.
"Heads up!" Tristan shouted, tossing a blueberry pie. It bounced off the ceiling before landing on Seto.
"You pointy-haired freak!" Seto exclaimed, pulling the pie out of his hair.
"Don't insult my friends Kaiba!" Yugi said.
"I'll do what I like!" he exclaimed, tossing a pie at Yugi.
"Ooof," the king of games staggered backwards before crashing into a shelf. More pies tumbled down, soon burying the small boy.
"Hey, where did Tea go?" Tristan asked.
Joey groaned. "She disappeared again?" he asked. "Afta' all, she is da one who started dis fight!"
Seto's eyes lit up. "Stupid girl, I'll get her for this," he muttered, striding out of the kitchen, unaware of what was to come.
As soon as Tea had avoided Joey's pie attack, she ducked out of the kitchen. Grabbing a chair, she pulled it right next to the door. She picked up her last pie and stood on the chair, intending to give the next person who walked out the door a little 'gift.'
Seto strode out of the kitchen, intending to find Tea as soon as he could.
Tea, from her perch, saw that her victim emerging from the kitchen was tall. "Well, that rules Yugi out," she thought. "Oh well."
"Incoming!" she shouted out loud before slamming the pie right in the person's face.
"What the –?" Seto shouted, tasting banana in his mouth.
Tea jumped down from her stool only to face a very annoyed Seto Kaiba.
"Gardner, what the heck was that for?" he asked, pulling mangled banana pieces out of his hair.
"Umm..." her breath caught in her throat. For Seto had just brushed his bangs out of his eyes. "As much as I don't like to say it," she thought, "he's really hot! Why didn't I notice this before?"
Seto watched her, her eyes were glazed over and a light blush covering her cheeks. "It's time Gardner got a little wake-up call," he smirked. And so taking up the pie he still held in his hand, he threw it at her face.
Tea gasped. "How did he do that?" she wondered. Aloud, she said, "You'll regret that, Kaiba."
"Oh really?" he asked. "And how do you propose to do that?"
Inside his soul room, Yami detected something. "Yugi, let me take over," he requested.
"Why?" Yugi responded.
"I sense a dangerous situation here Yugi," Yami explained. "If we're not careful, this could turn into a shadow game."
"Yami, there's nothing wrong." Upon noticing Yami's disappointment, he reluctantly agreed. "I wish I could have talked to Tea though," he thought as Yami took over his body.
"Kaiba, stop it," Yami demanded.
"And if I don't?" Seto smirked.
"I'll throw this pie in your face!" Yami threatened.
"Oh, I'm petrified," he remarked sarcastically. "In fact, I'd be astounded if you could reach my face at all, considering your little height problem."
"He can if he has help," Tea said, jumping on his back.
Surprised, Seto staggered a little. It was enough for Yami to leap up and smash it in his face.
For the second time in five minutes, Seto found himself tasting pie, this time blueberry. Recovering quickly, he threw the remainder of the pie at Yami with deadly accuracy.
"Ack!" the Pharaoh of Egypt stumbled backwards. "Not the hair again!" he muttered.
"Look at the high-and-mighty king of games now," Seto sneered.
"You'll pay for that," Yami swore, grabbing a peach pie.
Soon, the kitchen was full of flying pie tins speeding through the air.
"Hey, wait fo' me!" Joey exclaimed. "I can't miss my chance ta peg Kaiba!" He started forward, only to be hit with a pie from behind. Turning around, he saw a laughing Tristan.
"Grr, you're going down Tristan!" he shouted before lunging at his friend.
Meanwhile, Tea sat in a corner, laughing at the fight she had caused. "Guys are so easy to manipulate," she remarked, watching the fun.
After thirty minutes, the fight finally died down. Joey fell to the floor, exhausted. Yami sat down in a chair, breathing heavily. Seto leaned on the counter, trying to catch his breath.
"Hey guys!" Tea was back. Eyeing them up and down, she noticed the various pies stuck to their clothes. "Umm...you'll probably want to clean up a little."
"I have a swimming pool that we can use," Seto remarked. "Well, everyone except Wheeler. Generally, dogs aren't allowed in swimming pools."
"Kaiba," Joey growled. "I'm warning ya..."
"Do you have more than one pool?" Yugi asked, having regained control of his body.
"Actually, I do," Seto remarked. "There's a complex in the basement that has four sections that we can use."
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Tristan broke in. "I can't wait to get these strawberries out of my hair!"
And with that, the entire gang headed straight for the swimming pools.
oooooooo
Author's Notes: That was the end of chapter 3! It probably needs a little editing, I wrote it really quickly, hoping I could get it up on April Fools Day. I know it's not that exciting and it's kind of short, but it's a set up chapter for the romance. And since it's April Fools Day, I'm leaving you with a little present. And nope, it's not a joke at all! This scene will be included next chapter.
Next time on Happy April Fools Day
Tea didn't know a kiss could feel like this. She didn't even know that he could kiss like that. Yet here she was sitting in a swimming pool, wishing that the moment could last forever.
His lips were passionate yet gentle, an interesting combination. She easily yielded to his fiery mouth, feeling as if she was heaven.
His hands slid down her waist, hugging her small form close to his. Both of them continued to kiss, all rational sense forgotten.
That is, until Tea recovered. "What am I doing?" she thought in a panic, realizing the exact situation she was in. "What have I done?"
