When We Graduate
Everyone was at school thinking the same thing, graduation. They were soon to graduate from Domino High and move on with their lives.
"Yugi, I can't believe we're leaving this place. We've known this place for so long. It's like all of a sudden we're adults. When did all of this happen?" asked Tea
"It's hard to say Tea. We sure have passed a lot of time when we were saving the world and stuff. I wonder what Grandpa's going to think about. He probably thinking, Oh my! When did my grandson grow up to be such a fine young man! I still don't know Tea."
"I wonder what will happen to our friendship after we all leave for college, assuming that all of us are going. Are we still going to hang out on the weekends, or are we going to be too far away? There are so many questions that we still can't answer."
"You're right Tea. Time here is slowing closing. We should have as much fun as we can, while there's still time."
"Yugi, you know what you just said? You know about closing time? That reminds me of a song called closing time. We should send it in so that they'll play it at our graduation dance. It'll be fun."
"Tea, I think I know that song. Does it go like this? Closing time. Open all the doors and let you into the world. Closing time. Turn on all the lights for every boy and girl. I forgot some of the words, but is it that song?"
Tea stood in shock. She had never known that Yugi could sing so well. He sang like a singer might do.
"Yeah, Yugi, that was the song. You are a great singer. The way you sing it, you sound like an angel."
Yugi blushed slightly at this comment. He didn't really like singing but for Tea he would do anything.
"Thanks Tea. I didn't know that I sounded like an angel. I think that song would be great for the dance, just like you said earlier."
"So Yugi, are you excited about graduating?"
"No Tea. I've been so scared that the only people I act normally around are all of my friends. My grandpa is worried about me all of the time. He thinks that there is something wrong with me. It's only me being nervous though."
"Wow Yugi, I had no idea that you are so scared and insecure. You could have always just talked to me. I know how to make you feel better. How long have I known you?"
"For as long as I can remember. And you're right. I should have came to talk to you."
"We can start now if you like Yugi. Well, only if you're ready to talk to me. I don't want to rush you."
"Hey Tea, will you go to the graduation dance with me?"
Tea jumped a little in shock. She didn't know that he liked her more than a friend. Or, was it just that he needed to be with one of his friends? Tea certainly didn't know.
"Tea, are you feeling ok? You just jumped in the air and now you're staring at me. Do you not want to go with me? I would understand if you didn't. I just thought that I would ask you if you wanted to go with me."
"Yugi, I will go with you, but I need to know something. Do you like me… as more than a friend?"
"I really don't know Tea. If I scared you a bit, I'm sorry."
"You did frighten me but everything is alright now. I wanted to know because I always thought that you did have a little crush on me."
Yugi turned a beautiful crimson red color. He looked at Tea and turned an even brighter red color.
"Yugi, are you alright? You just turned a really bright red color."
"I'm fine Tea. You're right, I always did have a little crush on you. And sometimes I still do. Are you sure that you still want to go with me?"
"Yugi of course I'll go with you. You know, I always liked you too."
The two teens couldn't help but to be happy. They confessed their love and Yugi was beginning to feel a little less awkward about graduating. Now they had even more questions to answer. Will it last? Will they get married? Is college scary? The questions were endless for them.
"Hey Tea, we should probably head over to my house before gramps gets worried. Didn't you say that you're parents were gone for the day?"
"Yeah they're gone. Going to your house would be better than sitting in an empty house all by my self. Maybe we can call the other over so that we can talk graduation.
"That sounds like a good plan to me. Let's hurry though. It's getting late."
"Come on let's go!"
"I'm coming Tea!"
"Hey Yugi, does this mean that we're going out?"
"If you want to go out than we will go out. We should probably break it to the others later. I don't know how they will react."
"Good plan Yugi. What do you think you're grandpa will think of this?"
"I don't know. He might let me or he might forbid me. I doubt that he will say no. It's not like we would do anything…inappropriate. Do you know what I mean?"
"Of course Yugi, why would we want to?"
"I don't know. You know how I can't keep any secrets from Yami? I don't think that he will approve of us. He likes you too you know."
"Oh Yugi, You should talk to him."
"Ok. I'll do it right now. Hey Yami, I just wanted to tell you that Tea and I are a couple now."
"What! Yugi, how could you betray me? You know that I liked her too!"
"Yami, calm down before you hurt yourself or anyone else. I'll ask Tea if she date both of us.
"Tea, Yami didn't like the idea. So I came up with something else. Maybe you can date both of us? I don't like this idea, but it might make Mr. Pharaoh be good and stop hurting himself."
"I'll give it a try Yugi. I'm not promising you anything but well, you know."
"Ok Tea, I'll let him know. Hey Yami, Tea said she will date both of us ok? Will you please stop hurting yourself? My mind can feel it too."
"Fine, I'll date Tea with you and stop hurting myself."
"Good."
"Tea, we're here, at the game shop."
They walked in and were about to tell grandpa everything when…
