Dinner at My House

Chapter 11

Tea walked home with Yugi, Joey, Tristan, and Yugi's grandpa behind her. Yugi was next to her and Joey, Tristan, and Yugi's grandpa behind the two. The three knew that Tea and Yugi both like each other and could see it by the way they act toward each other. Jakey sat in the stroller Tea pushed and was looking at the beauty of Domino City.

"Those two seemed to really like each other." Whisper Tristan loud enough for Joey and Yugi's grandpa to hear only.

"Yeah. It's gotten quite obvious." Said Joey.

"She seems like a nice girl." Said Yugi's grandpa.

Yugi and Tea with Jakey being pushed of course both manage to side glance at each other.

/She looks quite beautiful./ Said Yami through the mind link.

Yugi side glances at her and saw some blush on her cheeks that she tried to hide. Yugi smiled when he saw her blush.

/Yeah, especially when she blushes./ Said Yugi.

There was some laughter in the mind link.

The rest of the walk was spent on talking about the duels. Also on Joey's little sister Serenity of course speaking about Serenity made Tristan blush. He managed to say out loud how beautiful she looked today. Nothing wrong with a guy saying another guy's sister is beautiful, unless he has a huge crush on her. Joey just glared at Tristan and Tristan of course just ignored him.

Tea unlocked the door and allowed everyone to go in before her. Yugi being a gentleman allowed Tea in first with Jakey to stroll in. The house smell like it was homemade.

"Mom, dad I'm home and I brought some friends over." Said Tea liking the idea of calling them friends.

Mrs. Gardner came out of the kitchen with an apron. She had a big smile on her face. Mrs. Gardner was happy to hear that Tea had some friends.

"Hey honey and it's nice to meet you all. Are you guys staying for dinner?" Asked Mrs. Gardner.

The group nodded and smiled at Mrs. Gardner.

"That's great, but dinner will start a little later than normal, because your father is running home late, Tea." Said Mrs. Gardner.

"Oh really he never runs home late." Said Tea.

"Yeah well there's a first for everything." Said Mrs. Gardner.

"That's find I'll teach Tea some of the games we play in Domino." Said Yugi.

"Great and I'll go upstairs and change Jakey." Said Mrs. Gardner.

She took Jakey out of the stroller. Tea and the gang went into the living room. Joey and Tristan sat on the couch Yugi's grandpa sat in the chair. Tea and Yugi sat on the floor. Yugi took out his dueling deck.

"You know some of the rules." Said Yugi.

"Yeah. On the one who loses all the points lose the duel." Said Tea.

"Those are called life points." Said Yugi.

"Oh." Said Tea.

/Yugi do you mind if we switch?/ Asked Yami.

/Nah go ahead./ Said Yugi.

There was a small glow from the Millennium Item that no one seemed to notice except Tea. Yami sat were Yugi was with a smile on his face. Tea's eyes widen a little.

They switch again and no one cares…or they didn't notice. Thought Tea.

She returned the smile worry that he may think something was wrong.

/She still looks like something is wrong./ Said Yugi.

/Yeah, but I think she's starting to get comfortable with us doing this./ Said Yami.

/I hope so./ Said Yugi.

Yami taught Tea the basics of the game. Joey and Yugi's grandpa taught her some other moves. Yami even showed her how to hold her cards. He went around and helped her hold her cards even though she knew that if you had to hide them from anyone she plays against that she would need to hold them and not whole deck, but Tea didn't say anything. Instead she gave a light blush. Yami gave a light smirk when he saw her blush.

/Do you think she needs help holding her cards?/ Asked Yugi.

/You can never be too careful. And besides I think she doesn't mind by the hold./ Said Yami.

Tristan and Yugi's grandpa noticed how Yami and Tea were getting close. Joey was working a strategy for tomorrow, but each one seemed to have a fault in it so he would sigh and rework a different one.

"I'm going to call a friend of mind. I heard he found something interesting." Said Yugi's grandpa leaving the living room.

"And I want to talk with someone who's at the hospital." Said Tristan pulling out a phone.

Joey's head shot up and glared at Tristan.

"It better not be my sis, Tristan." Said Joey.

Tristan left the room with Joey behind him waving his fist in the air.

/Hey did the gang do what I think they did?/ Asked Yugi.

/They did and we'll thank them later./ Answer Yami who gave a small smile.

Tea noticed that everyone ran out of the room so she could spend time with Yugi and the spirit of the puzzle. She wasn't sure how to take this. She wasn't sure if she liked him as a boyfriend since they just met not to long ago.

I'm sure he has a girlfriend. So why should I worry. Thought Tea.

"Uh…Tea." Said Yami.

Tea looked up at Yami who looked worry.

"Oh hey Yugi." Said Tea.

"Are you ready to continue?" Asked Yami.

"Yeah." Said Tea nodding.


Mr. Gardner arrived home an hour later. He took off his coat and hat. He smelled the air and grin.

I smell pasta. Not any pasta it's…manicotti. Thought Mr. Gardner.

A woman came out of the kitchen with Jakey in her arms. Mr. Gardner smiled at Mrs. Gardner who wore an apron. She smiled back at him.

"Hey honey." Said Mr. Gardner leaning over to kiss Mrs. Gardner.

Mrs. Gardner kissed Mr. Gardner with Jakey giggling.

"Sorry I'm late I had to work on a proposal that was next week." Said Mr. Gardner.

"That's fine. Tea invited some friends over." Said Mrs. Gardner.

"Oh good." Said Mr. Gardner.

"Dinner is ready and set go on and sit at the table." Said Mrs. Gardner.

Mr. Gardner nodded and went into the living room.


Meanwhile Tea and Yami decided to play a game of Duel Monsters. He had an extra deck of cards. Tea was losing and she said she wasn't good, but Yami insisted.

/Are you sure about this she is just a beginner./ Said Yugi.

/Of course and I put up a deal that you made when you went against Johnny./ Said Yami.

/Really./ Said Yugi.

/Yes now try to act calm and cool. You don't want to lose do you?/ Said Yami.

/No the last thing we need is Kaiba getting word that the champion of Duelist Kingdom lost to a beginner./ Said Yugi.

They both laugh through the mind link. Yugi's grandpa watched as the two played the game. Yami was beating Tea easily. Mrs. Gardner appeared by Yugi's grandpa.

"How is she doing against your grandson?" Asked Mrs. Gardner with a huge smirk on her face.

"Oh not so good. She still a beginner and my grandson is really good so I'm sure with more practice could beat my grandson." Said Yugi's grandpa.

"Oh that's good do you mine if you get those two it's dinner time and their other friends look like they are going to faint if they don't have anything to eat right now." Said Mrs. Gardner leaving and heading back into the kitchen.

"Typical those two boys are such food freaks." Said Yugi's grandpa to himself.

Tea threw down a card in attack mode. She smiled thinking she threw down an unbeatable monster, but Yami chuckle. Tea looked up confused and nervous at the same time.

"Witch of the Black Sands is a good card and higher than my Dark Magician, but it's not good enough." Said Yami flipping over his face down card.

Yugi's grandpa had to lean in a little to see that he played Brain Control and took control of Tea's witch card. He then place down the ritual card he used in Duelist Kingdom and turned his Dark Magician in Magician of Black Chaos.

"I win." Said Yami.

"I guess I need more practice." Said Tea.

"Yeah, but your improving and now it's time to pay up." Said Yami.

He lean into Tea and Tea froze on the spot.

Wow that's the same way I got Yugi's grandma's first kiss. Shame I have to ruin this moment. Thought Yugi's grandpa.

"Hey you two it's time for dinner." Said Yugi's grandpa.

"Oh." Said Yami looking a bit disappointed.

He got up and helped Tea up and they both walked to the dinning room.

/Sorry partner I was close./ Said Yami.

/It's fine. We'll try again next time./ Said Yugi who switch places with Yami.

Was he going to kiss me? Maybe he saw something in my hair. Thought Tea.

To be young again with Yugi's grandma. Of course she'll always live in my heart and I'm sure she would be very proud of Yugi. Thought Yugi's grandpa.
