Tea felt like she needed someone to hang out with. Triston was working, so was Yugi, but Joey was around.

Joey sat at the booth in the food court looking out the window. He wasn't sure at the moment what he wanted to order. He had some of his duelmonsters cards in front of him as he tried to sort them out and come up with strategies and stuff for the tournament starting at midnight that night.

Then next thing he knew, Tea came out of nowhere and just sat down in the other sit across from him.

"Yea Joey what's up?" Tea said.

He was just a bit surprised. "Not much." Joey said "What are you doing here? You kinda surprised me sitting down like that."

Tea sighed. "I'm just so bored right now. I have the day off but there's no one to hang out with right now. Triston's at work, Yugi's at work!"

"Oh" he said. "I see."

"I just walked by and saw you walk in and thought I could visit with you." She said.

Moments later Joey and Tea had their food; Joey had chicken strips with a soda, while Tea just wanted a bowl of ice cream. They were talking about different things: the dueling tournament starting that night. Tea teased him how if Joeytried to challenge her how she'd take him down. Joey just made fun of her, confident he'd win the whole tournament.

Too bad Yugi isn't here with us." Joey said.

Then Tea sighed. "Yea. I know."

Then Joey gave her a weird look. "Huh? Is something wrong?"

Tea looked up. "No, no, nothing! Just, you know, me and Yugi do fun stuff together on the weekends, and since he's working I was just bored today."

Joey looked at her as she fell back into her seat a little. "It's more than that, isn't it?"

"Hmmm okay so I have a crush on Yugi, and maybe his alter ego Yami. I admit it Joey!" Tea said.

"Tea," Joey said. "I've knew you had a crush on Yugi for a long time. But I just thought something else went through your head. You know you can tell me if you want."

"Hmmm" Tea said. For a moment she didn't say anything. Then she spoke up. "It's not so much I have a crush on Yami, or well Yugi. Or well…" she stopped again for a second. "I think the thing is I really like Yami better than Yugi. Even though I like Yugi still, if I had to pick one, I'd pick Yami. But I just keep getting bothered by the fact he may one day go away forever you know, since he's just a sprit inside a puzzle. And since it always seems like he's destined to do so."

"Oh!" Joey said. "I get it."

"I mean, call me crazy, but I keep thinking what it would be like if we had such a relationship. Almost like you and Mai, since you guys are like soul mates!"

"Me and Mai?" Joey said in surprise. "Can you imagine the relationship I have with Mai?"

Tea looked at Joey for a moment. "Well I mean yea, you love each other and aren't afraid to show it. I mean, I bet she thinks you're a great guy" No kidding she secretly said to herself. "and I bet she thinks the same thing. And I bet you both have lots of fun together with each other!"

Joey thought for a moment as he remembered last night when Mai made him get out bed so she could play with him the rest of the night. "You don't know the half of it!" he said.

For a moment he wasn't sure what to think of last night. But Tea laughed at Joey's comment. He looked at her for a moment. Then she stopped laughing and her eye caught him looking at him. Quickly Joey turned his head.

"Umm well… I gotta go now I guess." Joey said. He began to get up.

"Oh um… yea, me too" Tea said. "I guess we're done eating. I gotta get ready for tonight anyway hehe" she said.

"Yea me too." Joey said. "Mai said she has something planned for us tonight before the tournament."

Tea laughed to herself! They got up and began to leave. "Well I guess I'll see you later, and maybe tonight somewhere with the tournament." Joey said. "I have some things I need to do."

"Yea me too." Tea said. "Well I'll see you later." She said with a smile. They walked off. They still had the rest of the daylight by themselves. Tea wasn't bored anymore though.

Then later that afternoon Mai got home from work. She was ready for the night though. "Hey Joey!" she said as she got in. It was around 5:30. Joey was on the couch watching TV. Mai came up and came onto him. "Hey baby." Joey told her. "Did you have an okay day working today?"

"Yea it was an okay day." She told him. "But I'm defiantly glad to be back home. I'm just ready for tonight." She said slowly as she started moving her fingers across him. "Huh?" Joey said as she did this. "You know what I'm saying!" Mai told him. She had that devilish look again.

Mai and Joey had a short and small supper. Then Mai was right at it.

Not too long, Joey found himself sitting on his hands and knees in the living room in his boxers. Mai had a chain leash on him. She had her black leather outfit and her matching boots with the leash in one hand and a whip in the other. "Up!" Mai ordered as Joey got up and she pulled him into another room.

Mai loved her s&m with Joey. She would only make Joey do these things with her when she felt like it, and she certainly felt like it that night. Mai wanted play with and have fun with Joey during the rest of the night before the tournament was supposed to start at midnight.

"Ah" Joey yelled.
"Say it!" Mai ordered again.
"You are the better duelist." Joey said.

Mai had Joey handcuffed to a pole and had him bend out and over for her. She whipped him again. "And that you will give into me every time, no matter what!" she whipped him. "Say it!"

"And that I will give into you every time, no matter what!" he was forced to say.

"Now turn around!" Mai ordered. Joey did so. He now had to bend over backwards. Mai was now whipping Joey in the crouch and was forced to gaze upon Mai standing over him as she punished him. It was supposed to give the feeling Mai would always be over Joey and he was always under her control; that Joey belonged to Mai and he was the slave. Of course women always want to be in control and make the rules. Joey could live with it.

Soon they were both in bed with the curtains shut and the lights at a dim. It was only 9:00 but Mai wanted to get some sleep with Joey before midnight when they would get up, go out and do some dueling for the tournament.

"Say it!" Mai said as she had his hands pinned behind him.

You're gonna win the tournament and beat me." Joey said. Mai kissed him some more.

Finally they were asleep. They were worn out from their fun and rested up.

But then, it was 11:30. Joey had woken up. He began to get up to get ready to leave for the tournament. But he felt something pull him back down. "Sorry Joey." Mai said. "Not tonight."

Joey saw Mai had gotten out of bed. He looked to see his wrists and ankles chained to the bed. "What the heck?" Mai was already dressed, had her dueldisk and deck, and was about to leave. "This is for your own good. Since I decide what you do, I've decided that you're not gonna duel anyone tonight." "What?" Joey said in shock. "I'm not letting you get out so you can beat me. But this is only for tonight. I'll let you out tomorrow night." She told him. "Right now, I'm going to duel and you're gonna stay here and when I come back, we're gonna have some more fun and I'll let you go! Tata!" she said. She went out the door and closed it.

Joey struggled to break lose. It wasn't the first time Mai had done this. She did it once to him one day when it was sunny and he wanted to get outside but she wanted him to stay inside like a prisoner. It was only one of Mai's games. Joey liked it the first time. But this was different. Dueling was Joey's passion and Mai was trying to hold him back, just because it's fun. He loves Mai, still anyway, but nothing would stop him from dueling. He knew just how to break out of Mai's bed chains. He reached under behind the mattress and pulled out a metal pin.

Meanwhile, at her house, Tea stepped outside with her dueldisk and her deck. She walked into town ready to take on anyone who came her way.

A few minutes later, Joey did the same. He had his deck loaded as he ran into the city. It was 12:15 AM now. There was really no big get-together for the beginning of this tournament, since it was a late-night thing. You just came out when you felt like it, went looking for someone and dueled.

Later Tea was seen in the middle of a duel with some unknown guy. "This duel is over!" he shouted as he laughed. "Dark Magician, attack her Dark Magician Girl and wipe out the rest of her life points!" he yelled. But Tea was ready. "Not so fast!" Tea yelled. "I activate Divine Wind" "What?" the man yelled! "It reverses your attack back at you and doubles its strength, thus you lose 1250 life points, meaning you lose!" she shouted in excitement.

With the duel won, Tea walked on. She walked by a dance club and decided to go inside and hang out for a while.

She went in and saw the people dancing, but she went to sit down for a while. She thought about Yugi for a moment. She was supposed to meet him later if she could. But she wasn't sure what to think at the moment. She was still upset about the thought of him possibly going away, almost like they were already drifting away. Then for some reason, she started thinking about Joey. She remembered meeting him earlier for lunch and them talking and hanging out.

"Hey is something bothering you?" someone from nowhere came up and asked.

Tea turned around in fright. "Huh? No I'm fine!" she said. "Don't worry I'm not gonna and do anything crazy like some other people at night" the man said. He was a tall guy, looked like the kind who defiantly love to party. Maybe he had a few drinks. "But this is a dance club. And were here to party and have fun and enjoy the night to our fullest." "Uhhh…." Tea went. "Come on, I bet you wanna go out there and dance!" he tempted her. "You can come hang out with us if you want." Tea indeed felt like she needed to have some fun. Maybe not with these guys, but she did love to dance. Finally she let herself go. "Let's go!" she got up and said.

Meanwhile, Joey had been confronted by Weevil Underwood in the streets as they were dueling.

"Heeheeheehee" Weevil laughed. "It's been three turns and now it's time for my Cocoon of Evolution to hatch!" It began to. "Emerge! Ultimate FireFly (1450/1350)!" Weevil yelled out.

Joey had 1800 life points, Gearfried the Iron Knight (1800/1600), and one face down card. Weevil had his new monster, Insect Barrier, DNA Surgery, and 2300 life points.

"Huh? Why should I be afraid of that thing?" Joey asked. "He only has 1450 attack points."

"Heeheeheehee." He went. "I thought you wouldn't be smart enough to realize he has a few special abilities. But for starters, by giving up 300 of my life points I can have him attack yours directly!" Then it did as it blasted Joey with an bright blast (J: 350 LP; W: 2000 LP). "But that's not all. Now I activate Monster Reborn, and use it to bring back my Insect Queen (2400 ATK)." But Joey sees the opportunity. "Not so fast! You just triggered my trap, Celebration of Creation, which forces you to end your turn since you just summoned a monster with a magic card."

"Ha! I wouldn't get your hopes up that high Wheeler!" Weevil taunted. But Joey just laughed. "Actually I wouldn't get too excited about winning bug boy!" "Huh? What are you talking about?" Weevil said. "I've got you cornered. Thanks to my DNA Surgery/Insect Barrier combo you can't carry out an attack on me!" "Oh really?" Joey said.

"I activate the magic card Giant Trunade." Then Weevil's two cards are returned to him off the field. "But that's not all! Now I'll play my Brain Control card, and take control of your queen." "What?" Weevil shouted in shock and fear. "Now Incest Queen, destroy his Firefly!" It attacks and destroys it. (W: 1050 LP). "And for the big finisher, Gearfried, attack his life points and end this duel!" And Weevil loses. (W: 0 LP). "Eeerrrrr!" Weevil growled. "This isn't over Wheeler! You hear me?" but Joey just ignored him.

Winning his duel, Joey walked on down the road. He came by the dance club when suddenly he thought he saw down the road, Mai. Worried that she might see him and wonder how he escaped the house, Joey's runs inside the club to hide. The girl however wasn't really Mai.

In the dance club now, Joey decides to make himself comfortable. He decides not to try and dance (since he's not good at it really) and goes to relax at a table. But then suddenly he hears a bunch of others cheering for some reason. He looks over at the dance floor. "And it looks like we have a winner!" the referee shouted. Joey decided to check it out.

Joey made his way through. Apparently they had some kind of dance contest. The dance floor had been cleared. Joey got to where he could see everything. He looked and was shocked and surprised by what he saw.

Tea stood on the dance floor having won the dance off. "Woo!" she shouted. She was obviously having fun. She was acting sorta classy and all sexy as she was showing off to everyone. Joey was surprised by this. This wasn't the Tea he knew. "Come on. Who wants to step up now and see if they can beat me in a dance off?"

"Tea?" Joey called out.

Then she suddenly eyed him. "Hey you!" she called back in a sassy way. Something was very wrong.
