Things seemed to fall back into normalcy, well as normal as life got in Domino. So after being returned to her present time she simply flopped in bed and slept til the next day. With a clear cheerfulness, she bounded out of her house and toward school. At the top of the steps waiting was Yugi, and she waved and ran up the stairs to hug him.

"What was that for?" He asked with a laugh.

"Oh, I just missed you is all. I had this weird 'dream' and, never mind, it's not important." She smiled, keeping her little escapade to herself. "So how's Atem doing on this fine day?" She asked with a smile, but Yugi's only response was to frown.

"Who?" He asked.

"Oh, no one." Tea replied with a sigh. Noah had taken them back to the beginning, before The Pharaoh was to know his name, and Tea was perfectly fine with that.

"Yo, Yug, Tay, wait up for me!" Joey's voice called, and the blond entered the school grounds.

"Joey!" Tea exclaimed, running down the stairs to give him a hug. "I missed you." She smiled as she hugged him.

"Course ya did, Tea, 'cuz I'm the great Joey Wheeler! You can't forget me, it's just as simple as that."

"Oh Joey." She laughed, rolling her eyes.

"Hey everyone." Tristan said as he entered the school yard.

"Tristan!" She laughed, and raced to hug him.

"Whoa, Tea!" He laughed as he caught the dancer. "It's nice to see you too."

"I missed you so much!" She gushed, breaking away. She walked back up the stairs regaining her composure. "Hey Yugi, do you remember Noah?" She began curiously.

"Virtual Noah?" He asked surprised.

"Yeah, him."

"Course, took me forever to beat him, and he almost turned you into an icicle! I don't think I could forget about that, and Tristan became a robotic monkey, course I couldn't forget him!" Yugi sputtered surprised.

"Hm, so it did happen." Tea murmured, almost sad for Noah. He had been able to regain his body apparently, but in the end the results were the same. "Why did he end up in cyberspace Yugi?"

"Well, it seemed he had gotten cancer or something like that, and when his body started decaying Gozaboro Kaiba had his mind transferred over into cyberspace so he wouldn't lose his son. Don't you remember that, Tea?" Yugi explained.

"Not exactly that way." She replied with a smile. "But hey, I remember all the other important stuff right? Now let's get inside, it's about to pour!" Tea called as the skies darkened with rain.

In the end, Tea thought sadly as she settled into her homeroom seat, Noah ended up evil. I guess, that sometimes fate can't be changed. The skies dropped down tiny little tears, and Tea bowed her head in quiet remembrance.

School let out with a happy bring, and Yugi and Tea found themselves back at a restaurant eating a midday snack.

"So Tea, you've seemed a little down all day. What's wrong?" Yugi began with concern.

"Oh, it's nothing Yugi. Random bits of nothing." The brunette replied with a sigh, and then gasped. Down the road and standing in the middle was a girl in a long back dress, and a floppy black hat covering her eyes, and part of her black sunglasses. The figure was tall and lithe, feminine, and had long black hair. The girl pulled down her glasses to the edge of her nose and gave a grin and a wink before pushing her glasses back up. "Rek?" Tea whispered shocked. The girl gave a tip of her hat and turned away, quickly joined by a girl in a more modern Dark Magician Girl outfit. Tea shook her head with a laugh. "It's nothing Yugi, absolutely nothing."
