It was the next day.

The sun was high up in the air. It was high noon. A bright sunny day.

Somewhere out in the middle of the open road, Sam, Amber and Lynn were still walking. But it wasn't much further now. Only a few more minutes and they would make it back to Domino! They had their thumbs out, but surly no one was gonna pick up any hitch-hikers! They just couldn't wait to finally make it back! Oh, what they had in mind, after everything that happened, they just couldn't wait!

Back in the city, Joey was walking the streets from store to store. He had work to do. He was going into different gaming stores trying to find some new good Duelmonsters cards. He went into one of those little department centers. There he picked himself out some sunglasses, some sunblock, maybe some snorkeling gear he thought.

Soon eventually he stopped and had lunch. He ate at that same dinner where he and Tea first visited with each other while Joey was still with Mai, when they both still felt like they were having some love issues. Joey sat there and looked through his Duelmonsters cards trying to devise some strategies. Oh how he remembered how much he enjoyed eating lunch with Tea that first day.

Eventually Joey went back to his apartment. He sat at his computer looking at images of Kaiba's private island. He had his techno CD playing in the radio. It was that same song Joey made Tea dance to that day Tea was still Joey's servant. He certainly loved that song. He could never forget all the times he and Tea had that joyful sunny day.

And back at Tea's house, it was still high noon. Tea looked out her window into the bright sunshine. "It's certainly a gorgeous day outside" she said to herself with a smile.

"It certainly is" a voice behind her said. And out of surprise, Tea saw the window blinds close up in front of her eyes.

"And it's certainly a gorgeous day inside to!" Mai said.

Tea felt Mai put her hands aroundher wrists. Slowly she pulled her away from the window into her.

"Mai" Tea said and laughed.

Mai sat on the couch, holding Tea's wrist as she came into Mai's lap. Tea felt some kind of black leather come around her wrists. Mai strapped her wrists together behind her back. Tea belonged to Mai now.

Mai loved this game. She'd catch her lover as they stared out the window into the bright sunshine of freedom. Then she'd come and close that freedom away and pull them back into her prison of love.

Soon Mai laid back.Tea fell backwards into Mai as she wrapped her legs around her. With one arm, Mai held Tea close to her with the arm going along her chest. With the other, Mai began to caress Tea's lower region. Tea just laid back with a smile. Mai may trap her, Mai may take away freedom, but Tea loves it. All her life she wanted to belong to someone. She didn't like being the person trying to own the other lover.Tea's hands grasped behind her back, Mai's hand slipped into her pants that came unzipped, into her privates, and Tea who couldn't do anything about it. Tea wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

Finally night fell. Joey walked out of the apartment alone. Mai and Tea walked out of Tea's house, side by side, ready to do their thing and go out looking for some fun.

Soon after, Joey went back to re-visit the dance club. He was standing on the dance floor. He stood in that same spot. The colorful disco lights flashing under him, the music playing, the crowd looking on in excitement.

His life points took a hit! (J: 1400 LP).

"Hahahaha, I told you, you shouldn't have challenged me Wheeler." Johnny Steps told him.

Johnny still had 1900 LP. Joey had his Flame Swordsman and Battle Ax on the field with one face down card.

"I gotta hand it to you Johnny" Joey said. "You've improved, compared to what Tea told me about you!" Joey could remember that night he dueled Tea on this same dance floor like it was yesterday.

"He! I'm glad you appreciate that" Johnny said. "but I'm afraid all the fun is gonna have to end right now!"

"Read my lips: this duel isn't over!" Joey said.

"I'm afraid it is Joey! I'm already holding the winning cards!" Johnny taunted. "I activate Mystical Typhoon! This destroys all your monster leaving you defenseless. But that's not all. I'll activate my Monster Reborn magic card to bring back Musician King (1750 ATK). He'll wipe out the rest of your life points! Any last words Joey?"

But Joey just smiled. "Yes. Two words…… Thank You! You just triggered my trap! Double Spell!" Joey shouted.

"What?" Johnny yelled.

"Now I can play a copy of all your magic cards! So now I'll bring forth the Mystical Typhoon to destroy your Musician King. But to top it off, I'll use Monster Reborn to bring back an old friend! Jinzo (2400 ATK). It's been fun Johnny, but I'm afraid you can't win 'em all! Jinzo, attack his life points directly!" Joey shouted. With that Jinzo attacked and Johnny loses the duel! (JS: 0 LP).

The crowd watching cheered. Joey smiled knowing he was one step closer to winning the tournament, but now if he could do the same for Tea.

Eventually later that night Mai and Tea were seen hanging out at a ladies club. Since Tea loved to dance, she and Mai had both volunteered to go up on stage and so a do a sexy strip tease like dance with each other. Both the men and ladies watched on and cheered loudly.

The club was playing "Terrible Lie" by Nine Inch Nails. The dance started out kinda slow with both Mai and Tea slowing moving their arm and legs and shaking their hips to the bass guitar of the first versus. Soon Mai moved on Tea and ripped her blouse off at one point. Tea came and danced along Mai and did the same thing. Then when it got to the course of the song, the lights began to flash to the music and the two began to grab each other and dance. They danced back to back shaking their hips along side one another. Tea had jumped into Mai wrapping her legs around her waist and bending down. Tea then spread her legs out as Mai slipped down underneath them and came up. Eventually they ended up ripping one another's pants off! Thogh didn't strip entirly nude as it wasn't a topless club. By the time it got to theclosing tune of the song Mai and Tea had pulled themselves tightly to one another, brushing their hands through each other's hair, almost like they wanted to make out on stage right there, even though they weren't going to. Then at the end of the song Mai jumped into Tea and wrapped her legs around her as they made their standing ovation!

The crowd cheered and loved it, but Mai and Tea loved it more.

Joey stood in a back corner of the club watching them. He loved it too!

Finally Mai and Tea had their fair share of the place. They walked out side by side laughing into the street.

"Now that was a lot of fun Mai!" Tea said to her.

"You're right" Mai said. "We should really do that more often. You and I make a really good pair for that kind of stuff."

"I never even knew I could dance like that!" Tea said.

"Well of course you could!" Mai told her "You're a natural"

"I couldn't agree more!" a voice from behind called out. Sure enough, Joey was standing right behind them as the walked out.

Mai and Tea turned around in surprise.

"Joey?" Mai said. "What are you doing here?"

"Nothing" Joey responded.

"Huh?" Tea asked.

But Mai laughed. "You sure know how to surprise us Joey! I know what you want though! And if you came here to us just to try and get, you're not going to! Sorry buddy!" Mai told him.

"What are you talking about?" Joey said. "All I did was come here to see how ya'll are doing" he said with a smile on his face.

"We're having the time of are lives with out you Joey" Mai said "ain't that right Tea?"

"Uh…. Well…" Tea stuttered.

But then Joey stopped them. "Yea, that's great, cause so am I!" Joey said "I'm at the top of my game right now! Been kicking butt in the tournament, been enjoying myself….. it's too bad none of you two will make it to winning the tournament though!"

"What do you mean?" Tea asked.

"Trust me Joey!" Mai said "We don't need that night-time dueling tournament any more to be happy and go out having fun!"

"And that's fine with me" Joey said as he began to turn around as if to walk away. "cause after this tournament I'll be having the time of my life down at Kaiba Island!"

"Uh… what?" Mai asked.

"You know, Kaiba's big "Mystery Prize" for the winner of the tournament: a week long trip to a private getaway island vacation, winner gets to take one guest along with them! Of course, I don't have to take one of you with me since you don't want to be with me!"

"Huh?" Tea said in complete shock.

"The way I see it, it's a win/win situation here Mai" Joey said.

But Mai herself was quiet shocked listening to Joey here. There's no way he could mean what he was saying: that he was happy by himself, without Tea, or her for that matter?

'Oh well" Joey said. "I'll see you girls around."

"Um…. Yea" Tea said. Now she was really started to feel confused.

"Come on Tea" Mai said. "I think we've both had enough of this. Let's go home."

Mai, with Tea, and Joey both walked away in their opposite directions.

Joey clutched his fists together. "Come Tea" he was saying to himself "I know you can do it." He could only hope now that his plan to make Tea come to realization would work.

But as Mai and Tea walked on…..

"Are you alright dear?" Mai asked.

"Don't worry, I'm fine" Tea said, even though deep down she was still trying to piece together her emotions.

"You sure" Mai asked.

"Hey" Tea said "but……"

"But what?" Mai said

"I guess" Tea began to say "maybe we could beat Joey at his own game or something? I mean we could beat him and win Kaiba's tournament and then we Mai can take that island trip together!"

"I dunno" Mai said. "I really just want us to stay here. We don't have to go on and island trip now, especially if we have to duel for it!"

"We don't?" Tea said in shock.

"Don't worry Tea" Mai and said. "You and I can take a vacation like that anytime somewhere down the road together!"

"Um… yea" Tea tried to agree.

Meanwhile however……

Joey continued to walk down the street. He came down a darker path, one where almost nobody else was in sight. But he had to go this way to make it back to his apartment.

And all the sudden, Joey heard some kind of car engine rev up behind him. In shock he turned around and thentwo bright white headlights lit up in his face. The sound of that engine seems oddly familiar Joey thought….

….but next thing the knew the car was speeding his way! The car looked like it wanted to run him over. Scared, Joey quickly turned around and ran! The car got closer, when Joey came by an alley and dashed into it.

He turned back around. The car speeded by, but it suddenly stopped. Joey heard the sound of the car doors open up and then shut. Then he heard running.

Quickly Joey continued running! He had no idea what was going on but he feared for his life! He dashed down another alley. Then down another. And another.

Then suddenly one of the dark figures emerged around the corner in front of him. Joey stopped. Joey looked closely in surprise at her, with her pink hair. Behind him came the other two, with their blue and green hair.

"You guys again?" Joey said with a smile.

"We've got some unfinished business with you!" Sam told him.

But then back at Tea's house…..

It was 2:30 AM. Both Mai and Tea had quiet a night and were ready to go to bed. Tea sat on the bed in her bra and underwear for a while. What just happened, she kept thinking?

She threw herself back on the bed trying to figure out what was happening to her….. if anything at all. Did Joey confronting them back there mean something she wondered? She was just thinking about how much fun she had dancing with Mai back at that club to that song! She loved being with Mai, so why was she thinking about Joey?

Thensomething hit her!

She remembered back to when she and Joey were attacked with the stun guns outside her house. She remembered having that dream while she was unconscious: she woke up on the white sand of an island. She was looking for Joey when she saw him out by the water and she had ran out to him, only to see him vanish! She thought it was just a silly nightmare about her seeing Joey again. But now she realized what it really meant: ever since she began seeing Joey behind Mai's back she had dreamed of getting away to a beautiful place with him so they could be together. And now Joey was gonna take that island trip with out her.

But that didn't matter to her now…….. or did it? She was with Mai now and having the time of her life………. right?

Finally Mai came in and climbed into bed with Tea. She turned the lights out and snuggled up ontop of Tea wrapping her arms around her.

"Good night sweetie" Mai said. She softly kissed Tea's lip.

"Good night" Tea responded.

She looked up as Mai laid ontop of her. Mai fell asleep fast. Tea however almost couldn't fall asleep at all!
