Youngbountygirl: I edited this one. This is where you get to see Tea's reaction and the next chapter, we'll get to the story about what happened to Marik and why he disappeared.

Aqua girl 007: I wrote this one. I hope you guys enjoy it.

"You sure the rest of the wolf pack went cliff diving?" Yugi asked.

"They usually go cliff diving on the weekends about this time. I lost touch with them an hour ago, so I'm sure that's where they're at," Serenity replied. "Besides, they don't know that Joey transformed yet, so whatever happens today will be out of their control."

Yugi frowned. How were they going to be able spill the beans to Tea? There was the chance of the wolves finding out. Still, as Serenity said, they wouldn't be able to stop them. The boys are still clueless about the transformation and Serenity was sure of it. When a wolf transforms, all the other wolves are linked to that wolf by sight and sound, even if their minds were blank.

There was also the other part of how to tell Tea. She would obviously not be able to take the transformation as well as Yugi did. He was familiar with the supernatural, living with Yami as a vampire for almost a year and a half. This would definitely be something new. Joey seemed pumped about this, but Yugi and Serenity were so nervous, they were shaking.

"So what's the plan, Yuge?" Joey asked, seemingly anxious.

"Well, when Tea gets here, we'll try to talk to her gradually about this and prepare her, then you can transform in front of her. That way, she can't deny the fact," Yugi explained.

"Good idea Yuge," Joey said with a smile.

"Yeah, I like it. Though, I still feel nervous about this," Serenity admitted while biting her bottom lip.

"It's as I said Serenity, Tea won't care what you guys were," Yugi assured.

"Besides, this is my way of getting my revenge against Marik for forcing my sister to keep secrets from me and Tea and for hurting her like that! I don't care if I transform at the wrong time! It's already open season for Marik and you bet I'll be ready to bite his head off!" Joey glared with promise to his words. Yugi couldn't blame his friend for feeling this way. "I'm only gonna agree to join his little pack, because of my promise to Yami."

"Seems like Yami's a nice guy for a vampire," Serenity said, then made a chuckle. "Duke was so pissed for not being allowed to take a snap at him after crossing the boundary line."

"Boundary line?" Joey questioned.

"The boundary line to werewolf territory. That's where we're at. Yami can't cross here or he's dead meat, but he did to save my life from a vampire that was trying to kill me. The werewolves took a snap at him and Duke almost got one on my brother," Yugi explained as Joey rose two eyebrows. "Marik stopped him... I guess because they would've hurt me if they tried."

"That's what Marik said. Not to mention Yami saved your life. Though, they still don't trust him," Serenity explained.

The three heard a car parking outside. Yugi knew it was Tea and let a sigh escape his lips. The siblings gave each other glances. It had been half an hour and Tea finally arrived. The gang knew what they had to do and decided to go at this carefully, so Tea would be able to take it all in. A knock was heard and Joey got up to open the door.

When Tea entered the house, Serenity ran up to her friend, locking her in an embrace. She had never seen Tea in ages! After all, it had been almost a year. Serenity was especially surprised that she was able to control her powers a little better. It was probably due to all the happiness.

"I'm glad you're here!" Serenity cried in tears.

"Same here," Tea said politely. She looked at Yugi and he nodded.

Tea sat down on the couch. Yugi decided to sit down beside her, just encase she freaked out about Joey's transformation. Joey leaned back on the couch with a smirk on his face. He was anxious to see what Tea's reaction to his transformation is going to be like. Serenity, on the other hand, seemed very nervous about this.

"Promise me you won't freak out?" Serenity said nervously, biting her bottom lip.

Tea eyed her suspiciously. Why would Serenity say something like that? What is she up too? She seemed very nervous. Yugi said that this was not what she would ever think up, about the gang thing going on, so what was it? Joey started chuckling, as if he knew that wasn't gonna happen.

"Sure, I guess," Tea said with furrowed eyebrows.

"Are you sure?" Joey asked with his smirky grin. "If you freak out, you owe Yugi ten bucks right?"

"What's going on?" Tea asked with folded arms.

Suddenly, Joey transformed in a millisecond and showed blond fur all over his body. This time, he was prepared for it. His shirt was stretchy, compared to the other one he previously ripped, his shorts were also stretchy sport shorts, and he had bare feet, not wanting to ruin another pair of good sneakers. Joey landed on his two hands, which were now paws.

Tea screamed with widened eyes. She couldn't believe what she had just witnessed. Joey looks an over sized wolf with short, blond fur. How is he able to do that? She thought people were only able to do this in fiction! While screaming, Yugi flinched and held his girlfriend's hand tightly.

Joey ran up to his friend and jumped onto her lap, licking her face. Yugi and Serenity instantly laughed their heads off while this was happening. Eventually, Tea began laughing from all the licking on her face. Joey hopped off and sat on his hind legs and front paws, wagging his tail like a little puppy.

Serenity, for the first time, felt extremely relieved from all the stress that had been building up. Maybe this was all she needed, to be more open about her wolf side toward her closest friend. Perhaps Yugi was right! Perhaps this was a good idea to tell Tea! Now that Tea knew about Joey's transformation, Serenity's alpha order from Marik was now void.

Tea wiped Joey's slobber off of her face before staring at Yugi, then Serenity dumbfounded as Joey transformed back.

"Haven't heard from Marik and the others, so looks like we're off the hook for a few more hours," Joey said, then showed a pout. "Which sucks, because I wanna give that wolf-boy alpha a piece of my mind!"

"Marik? You mean-" Tea realized in pure shock.

"Yes Tea, we're all werewolves. It kinda runs in the family. Whenever a vampire is nearby, a part of our family instantly... goes into what we call 'werewolf puberty,'" Serenity explained. "It usually takes a long time to control our transformation, depending on how we handle our emotions. When a werewolf starts becoming aggressive, he transforms instantly. It's all a matter of control. That's why I had been gone for so long. I couldn't, and still can't, control my wolf form."

"If that was the problem, why didn't you mention this to me before?" Tea asked angrily.

"It wasn't her fault. She was given an alpha order by that asshole Marik! When a wolf is given an alpha order, apparently he has to do what the alpha says. Though, I just transformed today, so it was different for me," Joey explained.

"Though, it's really surprising, Joey. For me, I was stuck as a werewolf for almost three days. Even Duke was stuck for an entire day and that was in front of his family! You really set off a world record," Serenity teased.

"Well, Yugi was with me and knew how to calm me down!"

"It was nothing, Joey. I knew you'd be freaking out alot and you needed me," Yugi slightly blushed.

"Shit Yugi, you must've freaked out like hell!" Tea said, feeling pity for her boyfriend.

"Not really. I guess he hadn't told you. His brother's a vampire who... apparently drinks only animal blood according to Yugi," Serenity explained as Tea's eyes widened and stared at Yugi.

"She's not kidding. That's why Yami has those freaky eyes and is always pale. Though, he doesn't drink human blood. In fact, he hates the taste of it," Yugi assured.

"Really?" Serenity asked in surprise.

"Yep, last time I snatched a bag of A positive, while volunteering for the Blood Donation Drive, Yami vomited it all over the toilet. And the stench was a killer! YICK!" Yugi cringed, plugging his nose.

Everyone burst into laughter. Serenity kept thinking about what Marik and the other werewolves would say if they heard that. They'd probably not believe it unless they saw it with their own eyes and even that would have to take alot of convincing. Probably if they saw Yami vomiting human blood all over the floor, it'd definitely convince them.

"What I'm surprised is the fact you actually gave him human blood," Joey said in his laughter.

"He was sick and I had just found out he was a vampire. I wanted him to live no matter what," Yugi admitted, staring down at the floor. "I guess I was desperate."

"I don't blame ya, man. Even I know you're very close with him," Joey said.

"Serenity, I want you to tell me everything you know. About what's been going on with this werewolf thing! I don't care if you guys are giant hairy wolves! I just want my friends back and I would like to know why I keep losing my friends and why they won't tell me!" Tea said as Serenity nodded.

"I'll tell you. I know it's for the best and will probably help Marik," Serenity agreed and she began telling the story.
