Resting
Early Saturday Morning
Pegasus's Castle
Arena
"Okay Pharaoh time for you to release my friends." Said Tea. Tea, Tom, and Serenity stood in front of the pharaoh, the priests except for Mahad, Pegasus, Merick, Bakura, Simon, and Odion. "Alright Tea. Just stay calm." Said Atem. Atem turn to his priests, former bearers of the Millennium Items, Simon, and Odion. "Well go release all the duelist that we invited." Said Atem. "Pharaoh do not forget Mokuba and also Yugi, Mr. Mouto, and anyone else that any of your priests have merge with." Said Tea. Atem sighs and turns to Tea. "Alright, alright." Said Atem. Tom grabs Tea's hand and whisper in her ear. "Tea try to calm down." Said Tom. Tea just nods her head. Atem turns to see the couple. What's this and why is he holding her hand like that? I usually her hand like that when I was a spirit of the Millennium Puzzle. Thought Atem. Seth just shook his head and headed down the hall to where Mokuba was being held. Atem follow his cousin down the hall.

"Is there something I should know?" Asked Atem. He follows right next to Seth. Seth did not even acknowledge him being next to him and continue down the hall. "What do you mean pharaoh?" Asked Seth. "You know something that I don't." Said Atem. He looks straight ahead. "And I would like to know what?" Asked Atem. "Me and everyone besides Simon, and that guy call Tom, and that mutt Wheeler's sister felt something odd about Tea when she duel." Said Seth. Seth glances at Atem with a side glance. "Didn't you feel it?" Asked Seth. "To be honest I didn't feel anything." Said Atem. "Then it may have been nothing." Said Seth. There's something else he's not telling me. Thought Atem. "Is there something else I should know?" Asked Atem. Seth looks down and then looks straight ahead. "Tell me cousin how do you feel about this Tea?" Asked Seth. "Well I think she's a great friend." Said Atem rather confuse. "Just a friend huh. Are you sure?" Asked Seth. "Yes I'm sure." Answer Atem. "Well if that's how you truly feel then you won't mind if I tell you that she has a boyfriend." Said Seth. "What? Who?" Asked Atem. "Why that boy call Tom of course." Said Seth. Tea has a boyfriend. Thought Atem. "How did you know that?" Asked Atem. "Everyone was talking about it and the way he looked at her was one way to." Said Seth. Atem look down really upset. I can't let Tea date that guy. I know I hurt her in the past, but I can't let her date that guy. Thought Atem. "My guess is that you like her a little more than just a friend." Said Seth. Atem looks up at Seth. "You go on and head back I can handle this on my own." Said Seth. Atem just nods and turns around.
Arena
Tea, Tom, and Serenity sat on the floor. Serenity gave a short yawn. "Tired Serenity." Said a voice that sounded too familiar. Tea, Tom, and Serenity turn and saw Joey walking in with Tristan, Destiny, Mai, Macko, Duke, and Jordan. "Huh Joey, Mai, Duke, Tristan!" Yelled Serenity. She jump up and ran to give Joey a hug. "So Mai was right that you were here and also with Tea and Tom." Said Joey. "We heard what happen from those guys with the Millennium Items." Said Duke. The crew was finally was finally in the room. Tea stood up and hugs the group. "Hey wait where's Bandit Keith, Weevil, and Rex?" Asked Tea. "Oh they decided to leave they didn't want to stay any longer." Explained Mai. "Well we better head out." Said Tom. He grabs Tea's hand. Destiny saw this and was a bit shock from this. "Come on let's go." Said Joey. "Wait right there." Said a voice in the corner. Tea and the gang turn to see the priests except Seth and Mahad, the former bearers, Simon, Odion, and Atem came in. "Hey are you here to stand in our way!" Yelled Joey. "Calm down Joey." Said Serenity. "Hey wait where are Yugi, Mr. Mouto, and Mokuba?" Asked Tea. "Calm down we will release them as soon as you explain yourself." Said Isis. "What da mean?" Asked Joey. "Tea said she had something to tell the pharaoh at the beginning of the duel and also we like to know how she could duel like that. Because even if she just begun it would take years maybe centuries to beat the pharaoh." Said Odion. "But Yugi beat the pharaoh." Said Tea. "Yes because he is the reincarnation of the pharaoh." Said Merick. "Besides that you said you wanted to tell me something." Said Atem. "Fine once I tell you. Will you release Yugi, Mokuba, and Mr. Mouto?" Asked Tea. "Yes." Said Atem. "But it's late we can continue this when you all have slept and had something to eat." Said Atem. "What! No way." Said Tea. Tea felt a tap on her shoulder. Tea turns and faces Joey. "What is it Joey?" Asked Tea. "Listen Tea we all really haven't really slept well and we do need rest." Said Joey. "What! Joey when if he tries to do the same thing again!" Yelled Tea. I thought I was the one with the temper. Thought Joey. "I won't." Said Atem. "And I will release the others as soon as you all get some rest." Said Atem. He crosses his arms. "Come on Tea we all know that the pharaoh is true to his word." Said Tristan. "There is no way-Tea started to get dizzy and fell forward into Atem's arms. Atem lifted her up bridal style.
Everyone gasp except for the priests except for Seth and Mahad, the former bearers, Simon, and Odion. "Hey what did you do to Tea?!" Shouted Tom. "I use the Millennium Puzzle to put her to sleep." Said Atem. "Hey man when did you learn to do da?" Asked Joey. "That's simple mutt he always knew how to do it." Said a voice that came in from behind. "Where's Mokuba?" Asked Serenity. "I put him in a different room to sleep in. The other room was kind of chilly." Answer Seth. "So you didn't keep your word!" Yelled Tom. He points at Atem. "Actually I knew because my cousin would never let you all tell and go while you all sleepy." Said Seth. "I better put Tea in a bed." Said Atem. He was walking out of the room. "Hey let me take her. We're going the same way!" Yelled Tom. Tom was walking towards Atem only to have Odion in block his way. "Your rooms are that way." Said Pegasus. "The males that way." Said Pegasus. He points the opposite direction from where Atem was carrying Tea. "So we sleep that way?" Asked Mai. She points the direction Tea was being carry. Pegasus nods his head. "You better get some rest." Said Pegasus. Tom was really upset and Joey and Tristan had to drag him the other way to where the rooms were with some help from Duke who gave Serenity a kiss on a cheek when Joey and Tristan weren't looking. Serenity gave a little blush and Mai gave a little giggle. Mai and Serenity started to head for the rooms in the direction Atem carry Tea. Destiny kept her eyes on Tom and frown. Jordan came next to her. "I better go, but be on your feet just in case they go back on their word." Whisper Jordan. Destiny just nods her head and watches the boys disappear down the hall with an angry Tom. Destiny felt a small tap on her shoulder. "You better get some rest." Said Bakura. Destiny just nods her head and heads down the hall where Mai and Serenity went down into. Wow Tea and Tom who would've thought. I mean I'm happy for them, but I like Tom a lot even before we became friends in the other life. I can't let anyone know. I want both of my friends to be happy. Thought Destiny. Little did she know that Pegasus use his Millennium Eye to read her thoughts. Hmm…how interesting. This could be use too our advantage I'll just report what I heard from that girl's mind. Thought Pegasus. Pharaoh did say that I would get my wife back even if he did lose so I can be a very patient man if I want to. Thought Pegasus. He gave a small grin. But where did that girl, Tea learn to duel like that? Thought Pegasus. Macko talks about heading out and continue his search for his dad.

Atem carries Tea into a huge room. The room was beautiful. It had big bed and a balcony and also a mirror along with a couch. There were also some windows with curtains. Atem places Tea down on the bed and tuck her in like she was a small child. Atem was about to turn to leave, but he turns around and kisses her lightly on her forehead he goes to her ear. "Have a good rest Tea." Whisper Atem. He turns and he could see the sun rising He goes to the windows to pull the curtains so the sun isn't in her face. Atem then leaves the room and heads the opposite way to his room. /Hey Atem!/ Said Yugi through the mind link. /Yugi, how are you doing?/ Asked Atem through the mind link. /Just fine no thanks to you capturing me again./ Said Yugi. /Sorry./ Said Atem. /So will you finally let me go?/ Asked Yugi through the mind link. /It's gonna have to wait till Tea tells me what she wants to tell me and me and my priests have some questions for her./ Said Atem. There was a small pause. /Do you still hate me for what I did to you and our friends if they consider me a friend?/ Asked Atem. /I forgive you if you never use me or my friends again or even think of getting rid of Tea and I'm sure the others will too just give them some time. I mean Joey, Tristan, Serenity, Mai, and Duke will forgive you since our friendship is deeper than the others./ Said Yugi. /How about Tea and her friends?/ Asked Atem. /I'm sure they'll need time and I have a question for you?/ Asked Yugi. /What is it?/ Asked Atem. He finally makes it to his room. /Now since you're the one who used everyone just to get to Tea you should answer the question no matter what./ Said Yugi. /Okay and what is the question?/ Asked Atem. /Do you like Tea?/ Asked Yugi. There was a huge pause in the mind link. Atem took a deep breath before he could answer. /You do don't you. I felt it when you were with her as me and felt it when you carry her./ Said Yugi. /I guess I can't hide everything from you./ Said Atem. /Well I better get some rest if I want to face Tea and her friends later./ Said Atem. /Wait! How do you feel about Tom and Tea being boyfriend and girlfriend?/ Asked Yugi. /You said I could answer one question./ Said Atem. /And besides I'm really sleepy goodnight Yugi./ Said Atem. He closes his eyes and rested on the pillow that was on the couch. Yugi was instantly cut off.
