Joey was still surprised to see Tea on the dance floor and her acting the way she was.

"What are you doing here Tea?" Joey asked surprised.

"What does it look like?" Tea replied. "I'm dancing. I'm seeing if anyone here has what it takes to beat me in a dance off. I'm having a blast!" she said in such an excited tone. Although Joey loved seeing Tea have lots of fun, she was acting kinda strange with the way she was going.

Then all of the sudden, "Hey Joey!" Tea said. "I bet you can't beat me in a dance off? Let's see you come up here and dance."

"Huh?" Joey said. "Are you crazy?" he yelled in shock. But then the small crowd around the dance floor all looked at them and cheered to have Joey step up to the challenege.

Then Tea grabbed Joey's wrist. "Come on up here tough guy." Tea pulled Joey onto the dance floor in front of the crowd. Then she stepped back ready to dance off.

"Tea! What are you doing?" Joey shouted. "You know that I can't dance as…"

But before he could finish, another song started playing (a techno beat) and the colored lights started flashing and moving. They had already started the dance off. "Come on Joey! You gotta dance now!" Tea shouted as she smiled and begun to dance.

"TE-A!" Joey growled.

But as the crowd looked on at him with no choice, Joey had to try and dance. Joey started moving his legs around and at least try to dance like however these people dance. He of course was just so uncomfortable. He didn't know that much about dancing and he knew it. Tea knew as well. Or at least she was supposed to.

Tea just laughed happily as she danced on and watched Joey try to dance off to her. Tea was defiantly not herself it seemed to Joey. She was acting quiet cocky about the dance off. She had just dragged him into it without even thinking about what he thought about it. She was acting real sassy to. Maybe she had a couple of drinks or something. Obviously when people drink they tend to not be themselves anymore.

Then finally the song ended and the dance off was over. Joey was so relieved by this. Then the referee walked up. "And our winner is…." He held up Tea's arm. "Tea!" he shouted out.

Tea laughed a little as she looked at Joey. "Nice try Joey, but it looks like you just aren't as good as me!" she said. "That's exactly what I was trying to…." Joey started to say but then Tea walked away a bit as she showed off to the people watching. Tea was had gone over the edge with herself. She looked on at the others trying to get someone else to take her on in a dance off.

That was it Joey thought! "Hold on Tea!" he shouted out to her. Tea turned around. "I want a rematch!' Joey yelled.

Tea was surprised by this. "A rematch?" she said. "You're kidding right? After the way I just beat you and humiliated you?" she said.

"No Tea, not a dance off!" Joey responed. "But since you got to pick the contest, I thought I'd challenge you to a rematch. And this time, I get to pick the match!" he held up his dueldisk in front of him. "And I say, we face off in a game of Duelmonsters for the tournament right here, right now!" he shouted.

Tea also had her dueldisk with her. "Oh please, are you serious?" Tea said "Me? In a game of Duelmonsters?" she said with some cockiness.

"You heard me!" Joey yelled. He was serious about it cause of how Tea just about her mind. "Right here on the dance floor! What do you say?" The crowd was excited at hearing the challenge and tried to get Tea to except. "Alright!" Tea responded. "But you're gonna regret it!" Then both Joey and Tea turned on their dueldisks as the holographic generators flew out. They loaded their decks and stood ready to fight.

"LETS DUEL!" they both shouted. Their life points were set.

"Why don't you go first." Tea said. "No. I insist you go first!" Joey said. "Okay!" Tea said.

She draws. "You're gonna regret this Joey. I play a monster in defense mode face down and place one card face down on the field!" She does so. It's Joey's turn.

"Fine" Joey says. "I'll also place one card face down, and summon Alligator Swordsman (1500 ATK/1200 DEF). Now attack her face down monster!" he shouted.

The alligator attacks and Tea's monster, Ancient Elf, is destroyed."Thanks Joey! You just activated my magic card Shield Reinforcement. It automatically gives me 1000 life points since you destroyed a monster that was in defense mode!" "What?" Joey yelled in shock. (T: 5000 LP).

Tea draws. "Now I'll play Fire Sorceress (1000 ATK/1500 DEF). And thanks to her special ablilty I'll discard two of my cards," she does so. "and have her take 800 of your life points!" (J: 3200 LP). "Then I'll place another card face down and end my turn. So come and get me!"

The crowd cheered and the music played and the lights flashed as the duel continued. "Alright then! You asked for it!" Joey said. He draws. "I'll summon Axe Raider (1700 ATK). But I don't think I'm stupid enough to attack you just yet. I'll end my turn."

Tea laughed. "Is that all you got for me Joey?" she taunted. "Fine then. First I'll activate Graceful Charity and draw 3 more cards and discard 2! But then discarding the 2 I'll activate my Sorceress's ablilty again!" Joey's life points take another hit (J: 2400 LP).

"Then I'll summon the spirit monster, Asura (1700 ATK)." "Huh?" Joey said. "Spirit monster? No way!" Tea smiled. "Oh yes!" she said. "I'm sure you remember what spirit monsters are capable off right?" Joey was surprised at how Tea had reconstructed her deck! "I'll also play my Spring of Rebirth card and have Asura attack your Alligator Swordsman!" Tea's monster does so and destroys it (J: 2200 LP). "Now my spirit monster returns to my hand and my Spring of Rebirth will give 500 more life points!" (T: 5500 LP).

Looking at the life point score Joey gets worried a bit. He needs to step up a bit. "Okay Tea, my move!" He draws. "I'll activate Giant Trundade and use it to send your face down card back to your hand!" The giant wind appears and blows away Tea's card. "And then I'll summon Flame Swordsman (1800 ATK). Now attack her Fire Sorceress with your Flaming Sword!" Joey's monster does so and destroys her (T: 4700 LP). "Now Axe Raider, attack Tea's life points directly!" Joey shouted. He did so and Tea took the hit. (T: 3000 LP).

But despite Joey's move Tea just laughs! "Nice move Joey" she said. "But I'm afraid it wasn't good enough. You should've finished me off when you had the chance cause I'm about to finish this duel!" "Huh?" Joey said. Tea went on. "First I'll play Card of Sanctity so we can draw more cards. Now I'll activate the magic card you sent to my hand last turn, Soul Exchange!" Joey yelled in shock "WHAT?" "You heard me Joey" Tea said and smiled. "I'll use it to sacrifice your Axe Raider and your Flame Swordsman, so I can summon a very powerful spirit monster that I'm sure you remember quiet well!" Then Joey's two monsters disappear, leaving him defenseless! "Now, say hello to Yamata Dragon (2600 ATK)!" The 8-headed dragon appears! "Now to finish you off, attack his life points directly!" Tea shouted.

With no defense Yamata Dragon fires and looks to take out the rest of Joey's life points. "Not so fast Tea! I activate my face down card, Scapegoats!" Then Joey's 4 goats appear and one of them is destroyed by the blast! But Tea laughs again. "Nice move Joey, but it won't save you tonight! Have you forgotten I have another spirit monster in my hand? I can still normal summon him to the field, so now I'll bring back my Asura (1700 ATK) and using his special ability he can attack and destroy the rest of your scapegoats!" Joey's scapegoats are destroyed.

"But that's not all!" Tea says. "I'll activate Groundbreaking so that I can bring back another spirit monster I discarded earlier in our duel! So now I'll bring back Inaba White Rabbit (700 ATK) and have him attack you directly!" Then the rabbit attacks Joey (J: 1500 LP). "Now all 3 of my spirt monster will return and I'll receive 1500 more life points! (T: 4500 LP). Finally I'll play one more card face down!"

The crowd looks in amazement at the duel! "I gotta hand it to you Tea." Joey begins to say. "You're putting up a good fight!" Tea smiles. "Thanks Joey. I wish I could say the same though about you!"

This shocks Joey. He knows now that something must have gotten to her here at the club. "Alright then. It's my move!" Joey draws. "First I activate the trap card, Déjà vu. This lets me replay your last turn by bringing back every card you had on the field last turn!" Then all the sudden, Tea's 3 spirit monsters return to the field! "Huh?" Tea says. "Why in the world would you wanna risk doing this?" she says. Then Joey goes on. "Because, that sets the stage for this! I activate Grave robber, and I'll use it to steal your Soul Exchange magic card!" "Huh?" Tea says in surprise. "Now I'll use it to sacrifice Yamata Dragon and Asura, so I can summon this! Say hello to my Red Eyes Black Dragon (2400 ATK)! And I'll enhance his strength with Dragon Nails!" Then Red-Eyes attack goes up to 3000. 'Now Red-Eyes, attack Tea's Inaba Whit Rabbit with your inferno blast!" Joey shouts.

Red-Eyes destroys the white rabbit. But Tea just has a big smile on her face! "Hehehe. Sorry Joey but I'm afraid you took my bait, again." Just then, Tea reveals her face down card, Nutrient Z. "No way!" Joey says in complete disbelief! "I'm afraid so." Tea says. "Thanks to its effect I received 4000 more life points before your attack went through, thus thanks to your powerful attack, I instead gained more life points (T: 6200 LP)!"

The crowd was in even more shock as some of them cheered for Tea! "Sorry Joey, but it seems as if once again I've shown how better than you I am." She said to him in a cocky confident way.

Then Joey got up. "Tea, what has gotten into you?" he said to her. "I've never seen you this caught up in yourself before! What ever happened to you believing in friendly competition, and being so full of spirit? It's almost like you don't even care anymore!"

"What on earth are you talking about Joey?" Tea said. "All I'm doing is having fun! I've just been enjoying the whole night away, hanging out with some friend, dancing out here…."

"Hanging out with some friends?" Joey said.

Then Joey looked around at the crowd for a second. About half of the people he saw had some kind of drink in their hands, and were dressed like real party animals. Then he noticed one guy with a drink looking Tea up and down as she stood out in her sexy outfit on the dance floor (it was the same guy who talked to Tea when she first showed up). Joey remembered how earlier in the day he and Tea had lunch and she told him about how she felt feeling like Yami Yugi was gonna some day leave her forever. Either Tea had been hanging with the wrong crowd, or she must have had a few drinks earlier here, or both Joey thought.

"I don't mean to be rude or mean or anything like that, but you now I think you're great. But still I've always been better than you at just about everything!" Tea said.

"What are you talking about?" Joey said. "That's not true!"

"Oh come on Joey, its true and you know it. I've always been the smarter one of us. I beat you in half the games we played. Even when I barley knew how to play Duelmonsters I still always beat you!" Tea was saying. "You've always had to follow me ever since we became friends."

"You're wrong." Joey said. "You've always had to follow us when it came to playing Duelmonsters!"

"Is that so?" Tea said. "Then what do you say we make this duel more interesting?"

"Huh" Joey said.

"Let's raise the stakes of this match!" Tea began to say.

"What? Have you lost it?" Joey said in shock.

"Let's say, whoever loses this duel has to be the winner's Loyal Servant for a whole week!" she said. "That way, when I win this match you challeneged, the rest of the week I can have you spend your time away from Mai doing things for me all day!"

"TE-A!" Joey growled as he tried to get some sense into her.

"Don't tell me you're afraid to lose to me Joey!" she said. Then some of the guys in the crowd cheered fro Tea. Joey realized at this point he couldn't snap Tea out of what she was she was getting into.

"Fine then!" Joey responded. His eyebrows went down in anger and determination! "But here me out! I won't lose this duel!"

Then as the duel continued, "I play my De-Spell card so I can destroy your Spring of Rebirth magic card!" It's destroyed. "Then I'll place two more cards face down and end my turn!" he said.

"It doesn't matter now!" Tea said with a smile. "I already have the cards I need to finish you of!" After Tea's Inaba White Rabbit returns to her hand, she summons it back to the field at the beginning of her turn. "So first I'll have my Rabbit attack your life points directly!" she yelled. The Rabbit leaped up and flew and attacked Joey (J: 800 LP)! Tea still had 6200 LP.

"Now I activate the magic card, Monster Reborn and I'll use it to bring back another monster I sent to the graveyard: one of my favorite monsters, and the perfect monster to finsh you off! Dark Magician Girl (2000 ATK)!" She appeared and danced around like the sexy doll she was. She looked and pointed at Joey like she was ready to dominate him and take him down.

"Hang on!" Joey said. "I still have my Red Eyes Black Dragon on the field."

"Not for long though." Tea said. "Now I activate Magical Duplicate which lets me create a second Monster Reborn card. And I'll use the second to bring back my Yamata Dragon! But that's not all! I also activate Gift of Immunity which means none of your two face down cards will effect my monsters if you activate them! Now I have everything I need to finish this duel and make you mine!" she yelled in excitement.

"Yamata Dragon, attack and destroy his Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" Tea yelled.

But Joey was ready. "Not so fast Tea! I have a Monster Reborn also face down. So I'll activate it and use it to revive my Flame Swordsman!" Then he reappears. "But that's not all! I activate Polymerization so I can fuse my Flame Swordsman with my Red-Eyes," Then suddenly they begin to merge together. "In order to summon Flame Dragon Swordsman (2800 ATK)!" (Red-Eyes Black Dragon with the Flame Swordsman sitting on top of him) "Huh?" Tea said. "And thanks to his special ability, he can absorb the attack of any fire monster that attacks him!"

Tea watched in shock as Yamata Dragon attacked Joey's fusion monster. Joey's monster remained standing as its attack strenght rose to 5400 ATK! "Oh no!" Tea said. Her confiednce all turned to fear!

"And since your turns over, that means Yamata Dragon returns to your hand and off the field!" Joey said. Yamata Dragon disappeared as Tea grew more scared.

"It's time to end this duel Tea, and knock you out of the mess you've gotten into!" Joey said. "So I play Mind Control, and I'll take control of your Dark Magician Girl!" Then suddenly she floats over by Joey's side, leaving Tea defenseless!

The crowd all watched in shock. "Alright! Flame Dragon Swordsman, attack Tea's life points directly!" Then he flew at Tea and slashed her directly (T: 800 LP)! Then Dark Magician Girl looked Tea in the eyes. Tea looked back at her favorite monster that was now about to finish her off! What did she do she thought! "Tea, this is for your own good. Dark Magician Girl, attack her life points and end this duel!" Then she leaped up as she fired her dark burning attack at Tea. The attack knocked Tea down as the duel was now over (T: 0 LP).

And with that, it was over. The crowd was shocked for a second, and then they cheered for Joey's amazing victory. The music was still playing. Soon everyone went back to partying.

But Joey just looked in regret at Tea lying down in defeat. He went over to her. "Tea?" he said. She slowly began to lift herself up. "Are you alright?"
