Tea's Time to Shine
Magicman: Last time we all got a glimpse of Zev Crawford, the main antagonist yet extremely cool character and the responses from you, the readers, were varied.
Smokegirl: *dancing around like an idiot* I'm bad, you know it, I'm bad, I'll show it!
Joey: Hey, that's my line!
Tea: I wouldn't bother. She'd probably kill you for disrupting her grove.
Magicman: Well, that said, we should probably get down to business.
Pegasus: It's about time! I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever get any screen time!
Magicman: Oh you will. Don't worry about that.

Serenity frowned at her map. "Lets see" she muttered to herself. "According to this map, I'm in the ship's cargo hold." She looked around. There was open sky above her, a swimming pool with jubilant girls frolicking in it, and ocean as far as the eye could see. She sighed and folded up her map. Obviously she had no idea where she was.
Serenity had gone exploring upon her arrival on the cruise ship with Joey and Mai (also to give them some privacy; she wasn't blind, after all) and had become lost within moments. She had wandered the ship, from the galley to the duellists' territory, without the slightest idea where to go. Finally she ended up on the ship's deck, tired, hungry, and extremely annoyed.
Sometimes, living up to her name could so incredibly tiresome.
"Is something wrong Miss?" a raspy voice said from behind the girl.
Startled, Serenity jumped and spun to face the voice. She reached into her purse and yanked out a bottle of pepper spray, which she pointed at the startled young man. "I'm warning you" she warned, "I know exactly how to use this!"
The stranger raised his hands defensively. "Whoa, whoa! Relax! I'm not going to hurt you!"
Serentiy relaxed slightly but did not put away her pepper spray. "Then what are you doing on this ship? This tournament is for girls only."
The guy reached into his vest and pulled something out. "I'm Rex Raptor, a part of Duellist Kingdom security. See my ID card?"
Serenity examined the card and the guy. He was short, about her height, with messy brown hair concealed in a weird brimless hat. He also wore a backpack, a red sweater, some jeans, and a greenish vest. The card itself was legit though, and she relaxed and put her spray away.
"Sorry about that" Serenity apologized. "I'm kind of lost."
"Well then I'm your man. As well as security, it's my job to find people and get them where they need to be." Rex puffed out his chest proudly.
Serenity smiled. This was lucky. "Then could you show me where the dueling arena's are? That's where my brother would be."
"Alright then. Just let old Rex lead the way." Rex offered Serenity his arm. Smiling, she refused. Smiling back, Rex led her into a nearby door that led into the interior of the ship.
As they walked, they chatted companionably, swapping life stories. She mentioned her childhood traumas that caused her eye condition, and Rex talked about his duelling career. Serenity was quite interested in how a duelist like Rex got a job at Industrial Illusions.
"Well" he explained, "I've been around and picked up a nickname or two, but I never really got anywhere. I came in second at the regionals, I never did make it to Pegasus' castle last Duellist Kingdom tournament, and I was cheated right out of the Battle City preliminaries."
"Weren't you mad?"
Rex smiled. "Of course! But when all's said and done, it's just a game. I wasn't out of it yet though. I thought to myself, who's the guy who put Duel Monsters on the map? And obviously the answer was Maximillian Pegasus. So I go down to Industrial Illusions and things just develop from there. Now life makes sense again, and I don't usually have to worry about nutcase duellists who think they can score an easy win off of the 'washed up Bronto-brain'."
Serenity smiled. "I'm glad that things turned out well for you."
Rex smiled ruefully. "I'll admit that things are looking up. So anyway, what's a cute girl like you doing in a place like Duellist Isle?"
A light dusting of pink touched Serenity's cheek. She tried to ignore it and tell her tale. "I'm not actually participating."
"Oh no?"
She shook her head. "I'm here with my brother. We were invited by a friend of his."
Rex studied the girl. "Come to think of it, I never did catch your name."
"I'm Serenity Wheeler. You might know my brother? He was second in Duellist Kingdom and duelled in Battle City. We were invited by his friend Mai Valentine."
Rex started then chuckled a bit. "Oh I now your brother alright. I ran into him into the tournament. He broke my winning momentum. I still think that I could have made it to the finals if I won. I was about to go after Mai next." Then he smiled roguishly. "Serenity, huh? That's a sweet name."
Serenity blushed lightly again. "You name is a lot cooler. It's a great duellist's name."
"Thanks. You're brother's a great duelist, you know. You should be very proud of him."
"Oh I am." Now it was Serenity's turn to fill with pride.
They talked a bit more before they arrived at their destination. Almost immediately, they were beset by Serenity's overprotective brother.
"Serenity! There you are. I was worried about you. Where the heck did you get to?" He blinked a couple times. "What's Rex Raptor doing here?"
Serenity smiled, pleased to see her brother again. "Hey big bro! I was just exploring the ship. I guess I got lost. Then Rex came by and offered to show me around."
"I'm part of security" Rex added.
Joey looked back and forth between his sister and the duellist. "I see," he said slowly. "Well that was nice of you Rex."
Serenity turned a charming smile on the dinosaur duellist. "He's really quite sensitive. I don't know why so many duellists are afraid of him. Will I be seeing you sometime during the tournament?"
Rex winked. "I'll see what I can do. Later cutiesaurus!" And with that, he left the room in his slouching way.
Smiling, Serenity turned from Rex's exit to watch her brother's expression. The instant she saw it, she sighed in exasperation. "Oh come on Joey! Don't be so stern and forbidding. He's really nice."
"Hey, I'm not stern and forbidding" he claimed defensively.
"Then why are you always chasing Tristan and Duke away from me?"
"That's because Duke is a playboy and Tristan is Tristan! Tristan is the future patron saint of the women repeller!"
"Granted" Serenity admitted. Then she looked up at Joey, her eyes pleading. "But please Joey, don't be so mean to Rex. I really think he's a good guy, and, well I think I kind of like him."
Joey seemed to consider for a moment. Serenity could only wait in tension as her brother deliberated. "Alright" he said at last. "If you want to get involved with Rex then I guess that's your choice. But if he hurts you in anyway, I'll tear out his tongue."
"Oh thanks brother!" Serenity hugged Joey. "You're so great!"
"Oh I don't know. If I was, I'd probably stop bugging you about guys."

At about that time, Tea was sunning herself by the pool. Clad in her blue two-piece swimsuit she sighed happily. It wasn't often that she could go sun tanning, and she wanted to savour every moment. At that moment, the duels and Zev Crawford were the farthest things from her mind. There was only she, the sun, and her sunglasses.
Her tranquility was spoiled when a wave of water struck her.
Gasping and spluttering, she sat up quickly and glared furiously. Her eyes quickly set upon the culprits, bobbing in the nearby pool. Secure in his pyramid-print swimsuit, Yugi was smiling innocently while his darker side, clad in black, made the 'V' sign with his fingers. Their victorious smiles faded quickly when they saw the vein popping from her forehead.
Yugi turned to Yami and stage-whispered, "I don't think your idea was so good."
Yami stared, surprised. "My idea?! This was you-"
"Run while you still can boys!"
The boys turned to see Tea, wielding one of the monstrous water cannons, which were being rented out at a nearby concession stand. The pharaoh and the midget asked no questions; they simply took off, streams of water firing wildly behind them.
Yami stroked frantically, but was quickly outdistanced by his lighter side. He had taken a dim view of swimming lessons and had proven difficult for the instructors to manage. His indignity, which could only be felt by a 5000-year-old pharaoh forced to take lessons with whiny 3-year-olds, made him drop the lessons when he was capable of the dog paddle. As a consequence, he cried out when a stream of icy water smote him righteously between the shoulder blades. A resounding splash behind him warned that Tea was pursuing her offensive.
She quickly caught up with him while he was floundering. Smiling sweetly, Tea eyed him with her luminous blue eyes. "So" she asked pleasantly, "If I know where Yugi's ticklish spots are, does that mean I know where yours are too?"
Yami's eyes widened. "Tea, think about what your saying!"
"I already did." Keeping herself afloat by kicking her legs, Tea snaked her right arm around to Yami's back, and her left arm to the spot between his right shoulder and his neck. Immediately Yami started to squirm and Tea's smile changed to a rather malicious smirk. "So you are ticklish, eh? Goodie."
Tea tickled Yami mercilessly and without quarter. Soon he was reduced to tears and peals of raucous laughter as he struggled to escape her clutches. "You like that Yami?" she murmured into her victim's ear.
Then she was hit by a stream of water. Yugi had picked up the water cannon and was moving to save his dark side. Under attack from her flank, Tea abandoned her incapacitated and giggling foe to neutralize the new threat. Yugi ran off screaming but his short legs were no match for Tea's. Soon she had him writhing in laughter as an exhausted Yami pulled himself up onto the side of the pool. Finally Tea let her friend go and sat down next to Yami, her long legs dangling in the water.
"Have you two had enough?" she asked playfully.
The duo nodded in unison, tiredly. "I'll never listen to another of Yami's plans to surprise you again", Yugi promised.
Yami snorted. "Even though it was your idea."
"You wish."
Tea rolled her eyes. "You guys are so crazy. Loveable, but crazy." She lay back on the deck and rested. "Life just doesn't get much better than this, does it? Hanging out with your friends on a cruise ship in the bright afternoon sun with a big card tournament just around the corner."
Yugi slid closer to Tea while Yami pulled himself out of the pool and scooted beside her. "Aren't you just a little bit worried Tea? I was terrified in my first tournament."
Tea smiled softly and sat up. "I don't have a grandfather to save, Yugi. But yeah, I am a little nervous. But if I lose then that's the way things go."
"As long as you believe in yourself and your deck then you'll have no reason to fear a loss." Yami laid his head on her lap, smiling up at her.
Blushing slightly, Tea reflected on her feelings for both of her multi-colour haired sweethearts as Yugi joined his darker side on her lap. She knew that they both had feelings for her (she could see the way they watched her sometimes) and that she had those same feelings for both of them. Sooner or later she have to bite the bullet and pick one, hurting the other.
But for now, she'd just be happy stroking their hair soothingly.

"What's wrong Joseph? I would've thought that a five star banquet would be irresistible to you."
Joey sighed melancholy-like as Mai strolled up behind him casually, eating an apple. "Food tends to be bitter when you meet the guy you find out your sister has a crush on."
Mai nodded sagely. Joey had told her about Rex. "Yes, that will happen."
"Where did I go wrong Mai?" Joey whined. Granted, Mai wasn't the best person to whine to but she could surprise you. "I always thought Serenity would go for a nice, sensible guy like Yug' or Ryou or someone. But no! She liked Tristan for a while, Duke for a while; she even had that crush on Bakura!!! And now she's going for Rex Raptor!" He banged his head on the table, disturbing the food.
Mai finished chewing a bite of her apple. When she swallowed, she smiled. "Well it could be worse. She could be going for Weevil Underwood!"
Joey snorted. "I'm serious!"
"So am I." All pretense of joking was gone. "Look Joey. You love your sister, right?"
A sullen "yeah..."
"Then let her grow up the way she wants to. Let her make her own mistakes and chart her own path through life."
Joey sighed again. "Yeah. But it's tough watching your sister grow up. We've always been so close. I'm afraid of us drifting apart."
Mai sat down next to her friend and put her hand over his. "You won't", she said with assurance. It made Joey feel better.
"You know Mai," he said, "Despite all of the dumb blonde jokes I've heard, you're pretty smart."
Mai smirked and made a pose. "Why thank you Joseph. I may have to be a role model for your dear sister, to make sure she grows up right!"
Joey snorted. "You can be so hypocritical, yah know? Besides, I don't really want her ending up like you."
Mai's eyes narrowed menacingly. "And just what is wrong with me, Joseph?!"
Joey shrugged. "Nothing. But I've got plans on dating you someday and I don't really want images of my sister coming up when I'm kissing you."
Shocked, Mai's eyes widened. But before she could say anything, Joey leaned forward and caught her soft, silky lips with his own.
Expecting a slap he didn't get, Joey brought one hand up to caress Mai's cheek as he deepened the kiss. She tasted of the apple that she had been eating and something sweet that he couldn't identify. But when she began to kiss him back, he almost died right then and there.
When they finally broke apart, Joey had a big grin on his face and Mai was smiling cheekily. "Well, did you see your sister there?"
"Not even a little."
"I'm glad". Mai put a hand on Joey's shoulder and pulled him in for another kiss.

Magicman: And cut! Okay people, print that and break for lunch!
Tea: So I do like them back?
Magicman: Yep! And Joey likes Mai, and you can only guess at Zev and Bakura.
Smokegirl: Who did NOT appear in this episode!
Magicman: Oh keep your shirt on. They get to Duellist Kingdom next chapter. You'll show up then.
Pegasus: Maybe I'll finally get an appearance.
Joey: Maybe.
Magicman: Last time we all got a glimpse of Zev Crawford, the main antagonist yet extremely cool character and the responses from you, the readers, were varied.
