Hi! Finally…after how many months already? Haha I finally have updated this story, Yay! But sad to say it isn't yet the continuation of the story, just a bonus chapter. In this chapter, I didnt know if I already told you why Tea commented Atem seemed different when she was in the pond(refer to the part where her power was awakened) but anyway it was explained here. Sorry I keep forgoting and so sorry If I took a looooong tym to update. Busy with school and only finds tym to write story when my sister was in a good mood, of course I still write a draft first then type it up so it would most likely take time. Enough with the chit chat…on with the story! ENJOY and REVIEW afterwards please^_^
The sun shone brightly at the clear blue sky that makes the desert even more hotter. In this kind of weather, the gang are wearing white sleeveless clothes and paired with a knee length skirt. "Wow! The heat today is very hot, much hotter than the usual days," Duke said while wiping the beads of sweat forming from his forehead.
"Tell me about it…this could be the reason for my death…," Joey replied slowly as he rested on a pillar of the palace.
Afterwards the gang without Tea heard a loud thump. Everyone looked at the spot where it came and found Joey lying unconsciously on the floor with twirling eyes. "Joey!" the gang shouted and came to the blonde hair, "Hey Joey, you still there?" Tristan asked as he poke Joey's face. The blonde haired guy slowly showed a thumbs up to them with a weak smile.
The others sigh with relief. "Alright everyone, let's bring Joey to his room," Yugi suggested and everyone agreed. Upon nearing to Joey's room, the gang met Tea on the way.
The brown haired girl looked at her friends with concern, "What happened to Joey?" Tea asked.
Yugi showed a sheepish smile, "He collapsed due to the heat."
Tea upon hearing the word "collapse" panicked, "C-collapsed? Then It's not a good thing, I'll call Isis."
Yugi nodded, "Thanks Tea, just tell her that Joey would be in his room…and Tea, you look beautiful today." Tea was about to run but stopped when she heard Yugi's remark, she turn around to her friends but they were already gone.
"Beautiful huh," she said and looked at herself. She was dressed in a white knee length dress that was only being hold by 2 straps wrapped around her neck, paired with a white sandal and one golden armlet that was put on her upper left arm. She only shrugged and did what she has to do.
It took 5 minutes when Isis came and made Joey woke up, she used some kind of essence which has a strong odor that could wake up unconscious persons in a second. Upon waking up, Joey was ordered to drink plenty of water. Isis then left after the gang said their gratitude. After Isis left, a knock came and Duke opened it revealing Tea with Atem. The young pharaoh with his usual white pharaoh outfit came carrying a tray of delicious foods, Joey upon seeing it immediately eat it. As he was busy eating, the gang sat around and discussed something. "Hey Atem, we want to know if there would be a Halloween party tonight," Yugi asked.
The pharaoh only stared back at him with a questioning look, "Halloween party?"
Everyone was taken aback, then Tea came near Atem, "You mean…you didn't know Halloween and never experienced it?" Atem nodded.
"Halloween is *munch* a celebration that is *munch* happening every last day of October. It is where *munch* people, most likely kids dress in a scary costume," Joey explained in between eating his food.
"Oh…well, it's fine to me if I didn't experience it," Atem replied with a smile.
"No! it's not! Atem you've gotta experience it one too…" Tristan said.
"But-" Atem argued but was cut off when he met a killing stare from his friends.
"Let's go to Japan today, so we can plan what we'll do tonight," Tea suggested and everyone agreed except Atem.
"But, how about my work here?" Atem asked and Yugi replied, "Say to Shimon we'll return tomorrow and that we'll be going somewhere today to have some bonding time." Atem couldn't argue anymore, he knew that his friends would find a way, so he followed them.
Afternoon came and the gang are all ready to go, Shimon and Atem's other councils were standing at the palace gate waiting for the gang. Atem and his friends were still dressed in their Egyptian clothes and were only carrying a bag, as soon as they arrive at the palace gate, Shimon and Atem's councils bid goodbye to them. "Your majesty, will you be ok even without your horse?" Shimon asked, the young pharaoh smiled, "Yes." After that, the gang went outside the palace gate. As soon as they saw that no one was looking, Atem used his power to change their clothes into modern ones. He then said some Egyptian chant and a blue circle appeared underneath them, afterwards they vanished with the circle and arrived at the museum.
"Yeah! We're here now…yes!" Joey exclaimed and soon met a hard punch in the head, "Ow! What was that for-". He stopped in midsentence as soon as he found out that it was Mai who punched him, "Stopped shouting here in the museum" Mai said and looked at her other friends.
Yugi and the others upon seeing Mai's reaction with Joey sweatdropped, "Looks like were next" Duke whispered and the others nodded. But what they expect Mai would do never happened, instead she hugged them all tightly with teary eyes.
"I missed you guys! Even Serenity and Lady Ishizu were worried to you. We're gonna have a Halloween party tonight, you guys should now prepare your costumes," Mai spoke and Tea replied, "Thanks Mai, besides it would be great that Atem could experience it once." Mai looked at Atem who immediately stiffened, "Tea should be able to have you join in the party…besides, she's your wife right? so you should follow her, problem solved." Atem nodded and Tea only smiled. "Well are you guys just gonna stand there or what? We only have a few time to shop you know, let's go!" Mai commanded and everyone followed then she added, "Atem, you should still act as Tea's husband here in Japan you know."
The young pharaoh only sweatdropped and nodded while Tea giggled, "It's fine Mai, I need to enjoy being a teenager once in while too you know" Tea replied and Atem sigh with relief. When they left, Lady Ishizu and Serenity looked at the gang.
"The pharaoh is really lucky to have you and them as his friends, and most of all, he's lucky to have Tea help him enjoy his life as a teenager and find love in the way," Lady Ishizu spoke and Serenity replied, "Yeah."
Nighttime came and the gang arrived at the museum with everything they needed, they all slouched at the sofa while Lady Ishizu and Serenity prepare their dinner. "Phew! That was really tiring," Tristan spoke.
"Anyway let's just eat dinner and prepare ourselves for the party tonight," Yugi said and the gang went to eat and afterwards went to sleep a bit.
It was already 10 in the evening when Atem woke up, he found that Tea was still sleeping beside him in their room that Mai argued they should stay. He looked at Tea who was sleeping soundlessly beside him, her face sparkled with the moon's light. 'She's beautiful at any angle,' Atem thought. Tea began to switched her position facing towards Atem, as she did, Atem couldn't help himself to hold Tea's hand and caress it softly.
The young girl made a slight sound and Atem smiled while saying , "You sure sleep like a child, Tea. I'm really fond of seeing you from a friend that supports me through my battles to a wife that cares for me, I want to be surprised by you everyday in Egypt and I hope that someday, before the contract will end, I could find the answer to this strange feeling I'm always having whenever you're around."
After that a knock came and Atem let go of Tea's hand just in time when Tea woke up, "Atem and Tea! Wake up now and be ready…the party will soon start" Mai said and the couple started to change.
As soon as they finished changing, Atem and Tea went outside their room and was welcomed by glowing pumpkins and skulls lighting the way. "Looks like it is starting," Atem calmly said as he and Tea walk outside the museum.
"A-atem…you're not gonna leave me right?" Tea said as she clutched by Atem's right arm, the young pharaoh smiled and repiled, "how can I? It seems you're not gonna let go of me. Don't worry, I'll be right beside you Tea."
When the two were in the ground floor of the museum, a door suddenly closed and Tea flinched. The young girl didn't say a word but only clutch to Atem harder. When both were now outside, they saw that many childrens and adults were walking outside the museum with their scary costumes too. "So this is Halloween…looks fun," Atem said. The two continued to walk towards the place where it is smoking, on the way there a hand suddenly grabbed Tea's foot and the young girl immediately shriek in fear.
Atem immediately pulled her with so force that both suddenly fell on the ground, Tea on top of Atem. As the two faced each other, Atem blushed a bit but due to the darkness of the night, Tea couldn't see it. "Are you alright?" Atem asked with concern and Tea nodded, "Yeah…sorry, I immediately get scared" Tea replied with a smile and both laugh afterwards. After laughing, the two faced each other again.
"You know, this Halloween is not that bad," the young pharaoh said as he slowly moves his face closer to Tea.
"Yeah…" was the only reply of the young girl. They were only an inch apart, their noses were already touching and both hearts were beating fast.
"Tea, let me kiss you just this time…" Atem said in a hushed tone and Tea closed her eyes. Just when they were about to kiss, some kids shouted in fear calling their mommy and both immediately stayed away from each other. Atem began to compose himself and stood to help Tea stand as well, but then girl stood alone. The young pharaoh didn't utter a word, he felt awkward with what just happened. Both walk off again, without saying a word.
Tea then spoke, "You know Atem, your skin tone change when we were in Egypt." The young pharaoh smiled hearing Tea talk to him again, "Oh that, well it's simple. Mana used her magic to change my skin from white to brown, she's the first to notice it when I arrive there." "Oh, I see" was Tea's only reply.
When they finally arrive on the place, Atem and Tea saw a big cauldron boiling with a nice smell coming from it. Not just that, the table that was placed on the center was covered in black cloth and there on it were delicious Halloween foods and candles, there were tombstones too placed near the streets and glowing skulls placed on poles standing at the corners of the museum, pumpkins lighting the place they were in and cobwebs hanging on the museum from inside. Atem could really feel the Halloween spirit and smiled in awe as he saw other decorations on the streets. Suddenly out of nowhere came Mai dressed in a cat costume, Joey dressed in a mummy costume, Duke dressed in a vampire costume, Tristan dressed in a Frankenstein costume, Yugi dressed in zombie costume with blood dripping on his mouth, Serenity dressed in a white lady costume, and Lady Ishizu dressed in her usual clothes with blood splattered on it.
The two looked at them with surprise, "Umm, is that supposed to be scary?" Atem asked pointing Mai's costume.
After he said that, he received a punch on the face by Mai, "Of course it is! This costume makes me sexy," Mai argued while Joey and the others giggled.
"We tried saying to her that it isn't scary but she argued with us, Atem. Sorry about that," Joey said and received a killing glare from Mai, "What did you say toilet boy?" Joey replied, "I said that your costume isn't scary…and I'm not a toilet boy, I'm a mummy!"
"Hmph! Said who?" Mai argued and both looked away from each other while the others watching them sweatdropped, "You guys should stop fighting…we are trying to celebrate a Halloween party for Atem you know" Yugi said and sweatdropped as the two still looked away with each other.
"Anyway, did you two enjoy it?" Tristan asked and Tea replied, "Enjoyed? You scared me…I wasn't supposed to be scared off, only Atem!" the others sweatdropped.
"Sorry Tea, anyway we didn't mean to scare you so please forgive us," Lady Ishizu said. The young girl sigh, "Yeah I know, anyway sorry Atem if things didn't go well today."
Atem smiled, "didn't go well? I enjoyed it. You guys made me feel that it's not my first Halloween party and that I've been here long enough. I'm really glad to experience it with you all, Happy Halloween!"
the others looked at Atem then smiled and hugged him, "Happy Halloween too Atem!"
"Now, will you two get along already?" Tea suggested and Mai replied, "Hpmh! Said by the witch who couldn't even kiss his warlock."
Upon Mai's comment, both Atem and Tea reddened. "K-kiss? What do you mean by that?" Both of them replied and Joey smirked, "Don't act like you don't know it, you both fell to the ground awhile ago because I grabbed Tea's foot and both of you was about to kiss but didn't since some kids interrupted you." "N-no way! We're not!" Tea argued.
Yugi sigh, "Anyway let's eat!" and upon hearing that the others nodded.
After eating, Tea was sitting on a bench near the place where they eated and watched the starry sky. Atem came and sat beside her, "the sky looks amazing right?" he said and Tea nodded.
"By the way, did you enjoy the party?" Tea asked and Atem nodded. "Great! Atleast you have another fun memory with us," the young girl added and continued watching the sky. Atem faced Tea and slowly held her left hand, the young girl was surprised at first but then returned the gesture.
"The reason I enjoyed this Halloween is because I'm with you, Tea," Atem said and Tea looked at him with a surprised look. The young girl then smiled and replied, "Me too" as she kissed Atem in the mouth. After the kiss, both blushed. Tea then laugh and Atem followed, "Let's keep that a secret to them alright?" Tea asked and Atem nodded.
