Shea finished fixing her hair and smiled at herself in the mirror. She was incredibly excited to go to this party and wanted to make sure she looked her best. She was happy to finally change out of her ugly school uniform and wear her favorite dress. Shea heard a quiet knock on the door and ran down the stairs. She flung the door open and smiled.
"Hey Shea are you ready to go?" Yugi asked happily.
"Yah lets go!" Joey said with a chuckle.
Shea laughed and closed the door behind her. She led them down her driveway and they walked on their way to Mai's house.
"Tonight should be fun, huh Yugi?" Joey said, nudging his friend.
Yugi twitched "Uh, y-yah…" He said nervously.
Shea looked over at him "You ok Yugi? You sound nervous"
"I-I'm fine" He rubbed the back of his neck.
Joey laughed "Yugi's just happy you decided to go to the party"
Yugi stepped on his foot "Joey!" He blushed brightly.
Shea laughed "I'm glad that you guys invited me" She smiled over at Yugi, who was still blushing like crazy.
"There's Mai's house!" Joey yelled. He started to run up her driveway with Yugi and Shea close behind. Joey knocked on the door "Hey open up will yah!" He called.
Mai eventually opened the door "Well if it isn't Joey and Yugi" She laughed "Come on in" The three entered the house and looked around. The place was packed with mingling people and the stereo was blasting music. Shea smiled and kicked off her shoes.
Mai laughed "Well isn't anyone going to introduce me to this… tiny young lady?" She looked down at Shea with a smirk.
"This is our friend Shea… I hope it's alright that we invited her" Yugi said with a smile
Mai put her hands on her hips "Of course it's alright!" She laughed a bit "Looks like you finally found someone your height huh Yugi?"
Yugi and Shea twitched "Were just friends!" They both yelled at the same time.
Mai laughed "For now at least…"
Joey changed the subject "Hey there's Tristan and Tea!" The three of them went over to meet their friends.
"Hey" Shea waved lightly.
Tea huffed and turned around "I'm going to get some punch" She stalked away to the kitchen.
Shea sighed "I don't think she likes me very much…"
Yugi smiled at her "Don't worry; she just needs some time to get used to you."
Tristan rolled his eyes a bit "She's been acting like this all day"
Joey shrugged "Oh well, she'll be back to normal soon"
Mai walked into the living room and cut the music. She clapped her hands a few times to gain everyone's attention. "Alright everyone! Now this is when the fun starts" She smirked "It's time for seven minutes in heaven"
Shea twitched "Uh… I don't think I'm gonna play"
Mai stared down at her "Nonsense dear of course your playing"
Shea sighed "Alright fine…"
Tea eventually returned from the kitchen "What are we doing now?"
Shea turned around and looked up at her "Were gonna play seven minutes in heaven" She smiled a bit.
Tea crossed her arms "You'd like that wouldn't you"
Shea didn't say anything she just quietly turned back around and sighed.
"Alright boys you know the drill!" Mai held out a hat "Drop your favorite card into this hat."
Tristan and Joey walked over and put their cards in the hat. "Come on Yug! Aren't you playin?" Joey called.
Yugi looked down "I-I don't know Joey"
Tea stood next to him and bumped Shea to the side. "Come on you should play Yugi! You never know who will pick your card" She smiled… a little too big.
Shea smiled a bit "You should play… it could be fun" She shrugged and Tea glared down at her.
Yugi nodded slightly "Your right… I'll play" He quickly walked over to the hat and put in his favorite card. He hurriedly returned to his group of friends and stood next to Shea.
Mai picked up the hat "Alright now who wants to pick first?" Just as she said that Tea ran over and snatched the hat from her. "A little excited huh?" Mai asked as she stepped back a bit.
Tea smirked and ran her hands over the cards, obviously hoping to pick out Yugi's. She finally decided on one and pulled it out of the hat. She studied it for a moment then twitched.
"You gotta be kidding me!!" She yelled as she threw the card down.
"Wait, what card was it?" Shea asked, puzzled.
Yugi shrugged "I have no idea"
Tea finally held out the card "Blue eyes white dragon! Are you kidding me!?" She yelled.
Kaiba slowly stood up but Tea stopped him. "No! I refuse to play this game anymore!" She angrily stormed off to the kitchen. Kaiba simply sighed and sat back down.
Joey laughed "Poor guy"
Mai leaned down and held the hat in Shea's face "How about you go next?" She winked slightly at Yugi.
Yugi twitched and backed up a bit, he rubbed the back of his head.
"Don't be so nervous buddy, this might be your chance" Joey whispered.
Yugi gulped "Your right…"
Shea bit her lip "Um… I don't kn-"
Mai cut her off "Oh just pick already!" She snapped
Shea twitched "Oh ok…" She stuck her hand in the hat and rummaged around.
Yugi bit his lip and watched her nervously, secretly hoping she would pick his card.
Shea finally pulled out a card and studied it for a moment. She blushed brightly and held it out for everyone to see "The d-dark magician…" She stammered. The room fell silent and Shea waited for someone to step forward.
Joey nudged Yugi "Go get her tiger!" He pushed Yugi forward and he bumped into Shea. Shea whipped around and looked at Yugi.
"i-is this your card?" She asked timidly.
Yugi's face was beyond red. He nodded shyly and kept his head down.
"Into the closet you go!" Mai grabbed both of them and shoved them into the closet.
