The three confused ones: ...
Kaiba: *Storms in* What in the HELL is going ON?!

Kaiba: There are no censors here, thank god...stupid 4kids...
Me: I'd have to agree.
Joey: Uh, aren't we breaking the fourth wall?
Everyone: ...
Marik: Just start the chapter before more insanity ensues...
Yugi and the group waited for Sarah and Bakura to return, seeing as they left in such a rush with Sarah's hands and all. After about 15 minutes, everyone started to feel a little on edge.
"Should we check on them?" Tristan asked.
"I think it'd be a good idea." Yugi said as Tea nodded. The two got up and walked to the door to open it, but when they did, Bakura and Sarah already standing there. Yugi and Tea jumped a little, but Sarah and Bakura just stood there smiling.
"Oh hey guys. Sorry to scare you." Sarah said in a cheery voice. Tea blinked, but smiled at her friend, happy to see that Sarah was ok.
"It's fine. How are you hands? They seemed pretty banged up."
"Oh they're ok." Sarah lifted up her hands, which set everyone on alarm seeing as that seven of them were patched up.
"Ok? You practically chewed your fingers down as if they your favorite candy!" Joey exclaimed. Sarah only giggled,
"I know I know. It's a really nasty habit, but I think I'll be able to stop it now."
"Really? Why?" Emily asked from her hospital bed. Sarah only looked at Bakura, who gave her a sweet smile, which made her turn away, giggling with her cheeks red. This set everyone off a little,
"Ok, what's going on?" Joey asked, suspicious of the two's behavior. Bakura only kept his smile,
"Oh nothing." He then walked in the room and sat down, Sarah beside him. He then proceeded to wrap an arm around her which made her giggle shyly. Everyone stared at them, starting to get an idea at what was going on,
"Wait a minute..."
"Are they...?" Bakura blinked at them, sighed, then planted a kiss on Sarah's forehead, causing her to turn 50 shades of red, and it also made everyone's mouth drop.
"Holy crap!" Tristan exclaimed, nearly falling out of his seat.
"I knew it! I fricken KNEW it!" Joey raised a triumphant fist in the air. "You owe me ten bucks Tristan!"
"I don't owe you anything!" Tristan yelled, as the two of the glared at each other, electricity flying. Tea sighed,
"There they go again..." Yugi chuckled, and then looked at Sarah and Bakura. The two of them looked so happy together, Bakura even nuzzled his new girlfriend's hair, making Sarah giggle uncontrollably. As far as the gang to could tell, those two were made for each other. As lunch came, so did the growling of many stomachs, preferably Joey's. Emily's dad stood up,
"I'll buy you guys dinner. It's the least I can do for helping out my daughter." Yugi shook his head,
"N-No, it's fine."
"Please, allow me to at least do this." Yugi was hesitant, but nodded. Atem looked at Emily,
"Is there anything in particular you want to eat?" Emily looked up with a thoughtful look on her face,
"Um...I don't know if they serve it in the hospital."
"I can get it if you want." Emily shook her head blushing,
"N-No, I think I'll settle for some fruit or something..." Iana laughed,
"She want's a milkshake with "Bunny Apples", a chocolate pudding and a slice of Sicilian pizza." Emily's face flushed in embarrassment and buried herself in the blankets.
"M-Mom! Did you really have to announce that?" Iana only giggled smiling,
"I'm your mother. I'm supposed to announce anything embarrassing." Emily pouted under the blankets as Atem chuckled at this. He looked at Emily under the covers,
"I can get you that if you want Emily." She blinked and smiled shyly.
"I-If you could...I...would like that please..." Atem smiled. He really liked it when Emily was shy, because she looked so cute. Emily's father was now standing behind the egyptian.
"Oh no you don't. I'm the only one whose gonna serve my daugh-""Aaand we're off to the cafeteria. Come on you guys, times'a wasting!" Iana cut off her husband by pulling on his ear and rolling out of Emily's room in her wheelchair. Everyone sweatdropped, but followed the couple anyhow. Atem didn't stay with the group long. Once he had gotten Emily's food, he had returned to a very excited Emily. Atem set the food in front of her and Emily gladly started nibbling on the "bunny" apples. Atem found him staring at Emily, smiling softly. She seemed to be so content and looked absolutely adorable, at least to him. As Emily finished up her apples, she moved to her milkshake, but she almost immediately got a speck of the shake on her face. Atem chuckled and started to wipe her face with a napkin. Emily looked at the older boy shyly,
"Th-Thank you Atem...Y-You didn't need to do that."
"I felt I should. I don't think your lovely face should be messy." Emily's face was now redder than a tomato, as she looked at her plate of food,
"Y-You...Y-Your not just saying that a-are you?" Atem shook his head,
"No Emily. You...You are very lovely...More than just your facial features..." Atem cleared his throat, his heart racing and cheeks flaring red.
"Y-You are too...Except more handsome..." Atem's mind went blank after that and the two were left in an uncomfortable silence. Atem couldn't understand this feeling he had when he was around the teenaged girl. He'd always feel uneasy or on edge, which was out of his character. He sighed quietly, remembering what Emily had said a few days back.
"ATEM IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" Why did that make him feel more unnerved? He looked at Emily, who was staring at her hands. She looked uneasy and her face matched his. He then remembered that the dance was two days from now, and knew what he wanted to ask,
"Emily?
"Y-Yes?"
"Are you...attending the dance with anyone at this moment?" Emily hesitated with her cheeks flaring up,
"Th-The dance this Friday? No, I-I'm not going with anyone still." Relief filled the pharaoh's mind. He then took Emily's hand and held it gently in his,
"If that's the case...Would you do me the honor," He looked at her with a determined look in his eyes. "Of letting me take you to the dance?" Emily's face turned a rosy-red, her heart rate skyrocketing to which the moniter clearly showed. This set Atem on alarm and he became concerned,
"Emily?"
"I-I'm ok! Just give me a minute!" She took slow breaths and she soon played with her spoon, being very flustered. "You...really wanna go with me? I-I mean, there are tons of other girls who are prettier than me, and I think that I wouldn't be much of a-" She was cut off with Atem placing a hand on her cheek and making her look at him,
"You look perfectly fine. I want to go with you Emily." Emily sat there in disbelief, but she slowly brought up her hands and held them against Atem's slightly larger one resting on her cheek.
"And...I really want to go with you Atem." She looked at him with an adorable stare in her eyes, which made Atem smile even though his cheeks were tinted again. He gently kissed her forehead,
"You just focus on getting better now Emily." Emily's face lit up, giggling and smiling,
"I will." They separated as Emily looked at her food platter,
"You want my pudding? I don't want you going hungry." Atem chuckled,
"If you want me to have it." They both started to eat and continued to talk. They were being spied on, however, by a few of their friends they knew very well.
"How cute!" Sarah squealed quietly. Bakura smiled and, blushing, wrapped his arms around her from behind.
"Hehe, not as cute as someone I know." Sarah's face became a rosy tint and her hair covered her eyes,
"Nuuu..." Tea and Yugi laughed quietly at this. These two weren't a couple for even 3 hours and they were acting like they were together for 3 months.
"Oh how charming. You seem to be such a sweetheart, Bakura." Iana said, and that made Bakura blushed and bury his face in Sarah's hair.
"U-Um...Thank you." Sarah giggled, knowing that Bakura would always be shy, even though he would have some strong moments in their relationship. All of a sudden they heard Joey yelling down the hall way,
"We can't hold him back much longer!" The friends and Iana sweatdropped.
"Oh dear...I will be right back." With that Iana rolled away in the direction of her overprotective husband. Yugi looked at Atem, who had the courage to ask Emily out. He felt great for him, but since he didn't ask Tea really upset him. He was able to help everyone out besides himself...But he smiled, knowing that was enough for him.
"Hey Yugi?" Yugi snapped out of his thoughts as he looked at Tea.
"Ya Tea?" She looked at Emily and Atem for a minute,
"Can I talk with you?" She faced him, her cheeks a pinkish hue, "Privately?" Yugi felt his cheeks heating up.
"O-Oh...S-Sure..." The two then walked down the hallway, but before Yugi got far he heard,
"Pst! Yugi!" He turned to see Sarah winking,
"Go get her, tiger." Yugi's whole entire body was red as he ran after Tea.
"Was that necessary Sarah?" Bakura asked. Sarah giggled,
"What? Yugi's cute when he blushes like that." Bakura pouted and looked down.
"Oh..." Sarah gave him a sweet smile.
"But the real cute one is you, Ryou" Bakura blushed and buried his face in her hair again.
"N-No I'm not..." He gave her a sweet, shy smile, "Because that's the sweetest girl in front of me."
Me: OMG! IT'S A CLIFFY! Well...Not technically, but you have to wait until next time to see Tea's and Yugi's conversation!
Yugi: *Hiding under blankets*
Me: Daw...Tea! Go and help your future BF!
Tea: *BLUSH* WHAT?!
Yugi: *Yelps*
Seto and Marik: ...
Atem: *Not saying anything*
Me: Oh ya, I'm really happy to finally get some Emily and Atem action!
Emily: :/(
Atem: I'M NOT! *Blush*

Iana and Ryan(Emily's dad): R&R!
