It was a couple days later.

Late at night, Kaiba sat as his computer in his office looking over the stats on the duelist competing in his night-time dueling tournament. It had been four weeks now since his tournament began. It was drawing closer to win Kaiba would have to pick his top four. Kaiba looked at the duelist and their current rankings. He was surprised.

"Hmm, this is pretty interesting" Kaiba said to himself. "If these numbers are correct, that little runt Wheeler is actually one of the top four duelists right now in the tournament rankings! Someone must be trying to play a sick joke on me! Hmm and he's right next to….let's see….. Mai Valentine, Tea Gardener, and someone else. Hmmph, who knew those three geeks could make this far and stay up that late? Maybe I should look at their duels first and see what all they did and who they dueled." Kaiba looked through the computer some more.

The days had gone on since the day Tea left Mai's shop with all those things. While Joey and Tea would still see each other behind Mai's back, they could only hang out during the day time. They would eat out together, go for walks together in the bright of the daylight, but Tea really wanted Joey to come over to her place at night. Tea kept telling Joey she had some things she wanted to show him and surprise him with. But the past two nights Joey was either being forced to go out and duel with Mai, or stay home for another night of fun wild sex.

However, one night…..

"Have you been on Kaiba's website Joey?" Mai asked.

"No. Why?" Joey said.

"I just looked at to check the rankings. It says I'm actually one of the top four duelists right now!" Mai said. "Wow! Really?" Joey said. "Yeah, and even better, it said you and Tea were right next to me in the rankings!"

Joey was a bit shocked by this. Just hearing about him, Tea and Mai next to each other in the rankings, this is a bit scary he thought. "You know" Mai went on "Tea's not a bad girl. Not only is she a great duelist right now, but she has good tastes!"

"What do you mean by that?" Joey asked.

"Believe it or not, she actually came into my store the other day." Mai said. "We talked with each other, I showed her around, I think she felt a little embarrassed, it was kinda funny, but I got her to feel comfortable. She picked out some nice things to buy."

"Heh, well that's a cool thing to hear." Joey was sweating in his mind. "So you're saying you don't want to duel with me tonight Mai?"

"No" Mai said. "If I'm already in the top four I don't need to. Besides I have to get up a bit earlier tomorrow morning for my job with the girls at work."

"Oh. That's too bad" Joey said. "Cause I'm going out there tonight to duel and boost my rankings."

"You are?" Mai said a bit surprised. "Meh, okay.

Then later that night Joey told Mai bye as he left with his dueldisk. He went out the door and headed on out.

But Joey wasn't out tonight to duel!

This was what he and Tea had planned. Joey would wait til he could leave the house at night by himself. He would tell Mai he was going out to duel. Instead Joey was really going to Tea's house for the night they planned with each other. It worked perfectly.

Joey walked up the steps to Tea's door. He knocked on the door. He heard a voice.

"Door's open" Tea called out to him.

Surprised Joey opened the door and walked in. "Tea" he called out. "Where are you?"

"Come in here" Tea called out from the living room. Joey realized Tea wanted him to come to her, and for good reason.

Joey walked into the living room. There was Tea, laying down on the couch, in her new sexy short black leather skirt, her black high heel sandals, and a sexy glimmering pink silk dance shirt exposing her bare arms and shoulders. Joey was quite memorized.

"Wow Tea" Joey said. "You look……amazing! And well…….hot……and uh………"

Tea smiled. "You don't have to be afraid to say it Joey."

Joey just walked up to her. Tea looked back to him passioningly. "Did you miss me?" Joey asked.

He leaned towards her glad to see her again. Tea looked up to him. "You know how much I missed you" Tea said slowly.

There was no need to say anything else. Joey climbed onto the couch. They slowly kissed each other. Tea fell back and wrapped her arms around him. She slowly pulled him to her again and they were kissing. Joey finally got his legs onto the couch and Tea wrapped her legs around him and they kept kissing slowly and softly. Tea felt herself try to pull off Joey's shirt. The shirt slowly came off. Joey's bare chest lay on Tea's soft silk and breasts as they kissed.

They slowly continued to make love. Tea and Joey and led themselves to the bathtub. Their clothes lay on the ground in the hall, into the bathroom floor.

The warm water flowed. The shower curtains were closed. The lights were dim. Some white and vanilla candles sat along the tub. Tea put bubbles in the bath. Her and Joey laid down together in the soothing water. Joey faced the wall while Tea wrapped herself around him and caressed him.

"Hey Tea" Joey whispered. "I gotta ask….."

"Ask what?" Tea whispered back.

"That night, you and I dueled on the dance floor. And we decided to raise the stakes: whoever lost had to be the winner's loyal servant."

"Yes" Tea said.

"If you had won that" Joey asked. "What would you being doing with me right now?"

Tea laughed just a bit. "You know, you wanna know the truth" Tea said "while I couldn't admit it Joey, while I was a bit daisy, deep down inside me the real reason I said that when we dueled, was because that's how much I wanted you. That's how much I wanted you to be with me."

Then Joey turned around slowly as the water splashed lightly. He and Tea faced each other again as he pulled her to him. "So what would and I have been doing?" he whispered.

Tea smiled. "Probably what we're doing right now." Then they kissed again. There night of making love went on.

Meanwhile, Mai was back at the house. She was tired now know ready to crash into bed. It was 3:00 AM. Mai fell back and dropped herself onto the bed ready to fall asleep.

But as she did, she heard some strange noise. She looked over where it came from at the other end of the bed. Something had fallen of and hit the ground. She reached down and over to see if she could find anything. Then she picked it up and looked at it with a surprised expression. It was a metal pin. Mai was puzzled. Why would something like this be under her and Joey's bed, she thought.

Then it was the next day. Joey and Tea stayed at Tea's house to enjoy the day together with Mai at work again. Joey and Tea were planning on seeing each other again at Tea's house that same night. Mai once again said she wouldn't want to duel that night.

While at work Mai made Sam, Amber, and Lynn takeover and do all the work for a while. Mai sat in an office on a computer. She was looking at Kaiba's website at the information on the duelists in the tournament. But Mai didn't care right now who was in the top four. She looked at Joey's profile on the website. She was looking at the list of all the duelists he had competed against since the tournament.

Then it caught her eye. "4/29/05- The first night of the tournament." Joey had dueled against two people that night. But that was the night Mai chained Joey to the bed so he couldn't go out and duel. According to the information Mai read, Joey dueled first against Weevil Underwood. He then dueled against Tea Gardener. But then Mai stopped. What was she thinking? So Joey managed to escpae that one night just to duel; big deal she thought…….right?...it doesn't mean anything right?... but then she noticed something else on the list.

It was evening again. 11:30 AM. Joey was ready to walk out the door to go out dueling again as he told Mai. "You sure you don't want to duel again tonight Mai?" Joey asked.

"No, I'll be fine." Mai said. "Are you sure though you'll be okay dueling tonight?" she then asked.

"Of course I will" Joey said a bit surprised. "Well I'll see you later."

Joey and Mai said bye as Joey left. Mai laid back down in the couch after he left. She looked up and smiled. She put her arms behind her head and her legs up and smiled!

It was only a matter of minutes before Joey made it to Tea's. Tea waited for him in another one of her new sexy outfits: her black high heel sandals, black leather short shorts, and a sexy emerald green strapless blouse.

This time that night Tea decided she wanted to dance for Joey again. Joey loved it. Tea put in one of her own techno CDs and danced in the living room floor in front of him while she had him sit back and watch. She later got up on one of the leg rests to do a slow stripper like dance for him, but without the stripping, just like while Joey made Tea his servant.

Then all the sudden Tea put on another song and suddenly came and grabbed Joey's hands. "What the? Wha…. What are you doing?" Joey said in shock.

Tea grinned at him. "You're gonna come up here and dance with Joey."

"What?" Joey went. "Are you nuts Tea? You of all people know I can't….."

"I know, I know" Tea said. "That's why you're gonna learn, tonight, by dancing with me!"

Tea saying that made Joey feel a lot more comfortable now. If there was any girl he could trust, it was her. Joey and Tea held hands as the moved to the music of the techno track. Then she let go as she showed him some tricks on moving his legs and his hips. Then some tricks on moving his arms. Then some moves on dancing close up and next to each other. The song finally came to an end. Tea laughed for a moment. She suddenly threw her arms again around Joey, who did the same. Joey brushed his hand through her hair.

"That was fun" Joey told her. And right there, the made out with each other. They kissed slowly and softly and held each other. Tea moved her hand down Joey's back and onto his butt. Then Joey suddenly stopped. "You know what?" Joey said. "Let's take this somewhere else" he said with a smile.

Joey then led Tea up to her bedroom and closed the door. Tea figured she knew what Joey wanted. She stripped herself of her blouse and her shorts, down to her white see-through bra and panties. Joey stripped off down to his boxers. Tea got up on the bed and sat on her knees. Joey climbed up and came up to her. They looked at each other again. Tea thought they were about to make out again when…..

Joey suddenly reached down under Tea's arms and suddenly tickled her! "Wha…Hey…..Joey…."

Tea suddenly burst out laughing as Joey continued to tickle her and throw her to the bed. "Gotcha!" Joey laughed. But then Tea suddenly reached under Joey's arms with her fingers and tickled him back! "Hey!... No fair……. that's cheating!" he yelled laughing. "Okay" Tea said. "You let go, I'll let go, okay?" Joey went ahead and took his hands out, but Tea kept hers in and tickled the hell out of Joey! "Sucker!" Tea laughed. "Oh yeah" Joey said. The he tickled her hips and she burst out again. Tea fell down while Joey got on top her and grabbed and tickled her feet. Tea was trapped now as she laughed and struggled and begged him to stop. But then she fought out and caught Joey's feet and tickled them. Joey manged to get back up and try tickling her hips again but Tea caught his hands. She twisted his arms behind him and shoved him to the bed. With one hand she held his wrist and the other she tickled the hell out of him with. Joey was laughing and begging to stop.

He fought his way out. Worn out now and laughing aloud Tea and Joey took each and were then kissing and making out again. They laid down in the bed kissing and then Tea turned out the lights. They found themselves under the sheets now and holding each other. At this point they couldn't help it. Lost in the darkness and exhaustion and the ever so burning love, Tea felt her bra come off and Joey's lips caressed her chest. They went further down and Tea felt her legs lift up. Joey came above Tea as she looked upon him in passion and trust. Then closed her eyes once more and breathed as Joey went up and down slowly and softly inside her.

Then finally they were asleep. Tea laid on top Joey with Joey's arms around her, lost deep within one another.

They slept with each other until it was time. Joey and Tea awoke and began to get dressed up again. It was now 4:00 AM. Tea walked Joey outside.

"Oh," Tea sighed. "Why do you have to leave so soon?" she said with her arm around her.

"Don't worry Tea" Joey said. "I loved tonight here with you. And I promise, we'll do it again."

Tea and Joey stepped outside down Tea's steps to the sidewalk. Tea hugged Joey. "What should we do tomorrow?" Joey asked.

"I don't know?" Tea responded.

Joey looked down the street ready to walk on. "Well if you want, tomorrow at noon we……"

Then all the sudden,

A loud scream came behind Joey! Then froze! Shocked and scared Joey turned around. Tea was laying on the ground! "Te……"

"Aaaaahhhhhh!" Joey then shrieked himself.

And then Joey felt himself fall to the ground! Joeycollapsed and rolled on his back. His vision blurred as he faded unconscious! He tried to look up and through his blurring eyes he saw three dark figures looming above him with stun guns! One with pink hair, another blue hair, and the other green!
