Chapter 4: Looking For Joey and Having a Little Fun.
It was the next day and the start of the Battle City Tournament. Beth and Teresa woke up ready to spend the day with Yami and his friends.
" I still can't believe that we made friends so fast." Beth said getting excited.
" Yeah, especially Yugi he's just adorable." Teresa replied smiling.
The girls had changed into their clothes for the day. Beth wore a baby blue t-shirt and blue jeans her hair in a ponytail. Teresa had put on a pair of shorts and a black shirt with 'ACDC' plastered on the front of it. They had just placed thier cards in their deck holders when a knock came from their room door.
"Who in the world could it be this early in the morning?" asked Teresa as she walked to the door.
Beth walked behind her friend as she approched the door. Teresa stood on her tip toes and saw Yugi outside the door.
" It's Yug." Teresa said to Beth as she ripped open the door.
Yugi had a scared and upset look on his face causing the girls to worry.
" What's wrong Yugi?" asked Beth.
" Joey's missing and he was suppose to be at the hospital before his sister's operation. Tristen and Tea are looking for him right now and I figured you two can help us." Yugi replied with tears in his eyes.
Teresa stood up and put on her Gryffindor hoodie and looked at Yugi.
"Count me in Yug. I'll help ya find him."
"Thanks Teresa." He said his eyes lighing up it made Teresa blush slightly.
"Hehehe no prob. You comming Beth?" she asked.
" You betcha." Beth said standing up as well.
" Lets go." Yugi said.
Once the three left the hotel room Teresa turned to Yugi.
" I think we should start at the game shop." she suggested.
Yugi nodded.
" It'll be a good place to start. and well head towards the hospital from there and see if we can't find him."
Thirty minutes have passed and the group had arrived at the game store they got their duel disks at and had walked halfway towards the hospital. Beth glanced to her right seeing the game shop they were at last night and stopped. Teresa noticed and rose her eyebrow.
" Beth wassup?" Teresa asked.
" Wasn't there a Game shop here last night?" Beth asked
Teresa frowned and furrowed her eyebrows.
" Yeah there was if I recall correctly." she answered.
" Something's up cause usually game shops don't close down over night for any reason." Beth replied.
Both girls continued to stare at the game shop numerous theories running through thier heads. Yugi glanced to his side and saw the girls looking at the shop not moving an inch.
"I wonder wassup with them?" he asked.
Yami came out in spirit form and stood beside him.
"I dunno Yugi but something tells me things area about to get a little harder." He said.
Yugi nodded and walked up to the girls.
"Everything okay Beth and Teresa?" he asked.
Teresa and Beth turned around and put on smiles.
"Yeah everything's okay. Let's go Find Joey." Beth said not wanting to worry Yugi.
He raised eyebrow as Beth went ahead of him and Teresa. Teresa leaned down next to him and whispered in his ear.
"Don't worry Yugi I'll tell ya later." She said before following Beth. Yugi nodded and followed right after them.
After ten minutes of searching Yugi, Beth, Teresa, and Tea all meet up at the plaza. All four were worried about Joey.
"We can't find him anywhere. It's like he disappeared off the face of the Earth." Tea said.
"Hey Tea don't give up I'm sure Tristen would find him." Yugi said trying to cheer up Tea.
Beth heard the sound of an engine she turned to look over her shoulder and smirked.
"I think he just did." She said as the cycle neared.
On the motorcycle was Tristen in a black leather jacket and Joey on the back holding onto him. Tristen honked the horn as he drove pass them. Yugi and the others smiled and sighed in relief.
"I'm glad he's okay I hope he can make it to the hospital before his sister's operation." Yugi said.
"Dunno, but let's go to the Hospital and see." Tea said.
"Alright; Teresa, Beth you two coming as well?" Yugi asked.
Teresa smirked and placed a hand on her hip.
"What us miss out on a brother and sister reunion? I think not." Teresa said.
"Yeah, besides we only met Joey yesterday and it would be nice to support him and be there." Beth added.
Yugi smiled as well as Yami and Tea. Even if they met Beth and Teresa last night they were glad to have two new friends.
"Alright then what are we waiting for? Let's get going." Tea said heading off towards the hospital.
The others followed in her wake hardly waiting to Joey and his sister reunite.
Teresa and Beth stood back inside the hospital hall as Joey talked to his little sister. They couldn't help but smile when his sister opened her room door and hugged him.
"Aww it's a kodak moment huh Beth?" Teresa said her smile reaching from ear to ear.
"Yeah, I'm glad Joey got here in time." Beth replied.
Teresa nodded and kept looking on at everyone.
"I feel kind of odd. We just met them yesterday and yet here we supporting someone we hardly know." Beth said as she leaned n the wall.
"Yeah, but somehow it feels right. I mean we hardly have any friends back home. I get this feeling that we've met them before kind of like deja vu." Teresa answered.
Beth nodded and watched as the small group of friends were telling bye to Joey and Serenity before she had to go into surgery.
Yugi walked over to them and smiled.
"I hope she comes out okay." Yugi said.
"I hope so too. Hey how bout we hang out together. I bet you know some awesome places around here don't you Yug? Afterall we have about three hours to kill beofre the tournament starts." said Teresa.
Yugi looked up for a moment and nodded.
" Yeah I do. Let's go to the arcade." he suggested.
Teresa and Beth grinned.
"Awesome. What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Beth said throwing her fist in the air heading to the door.
Teresa and Yugi busted out laughing and headed the door after her.
At the arcade the three have spent about an hour the three have played a couple of fighting games, a racing game, and air hockey which Beth creamed Teresa in, but lost to Yugi.
"Seesh Yugi, you're pretty good at air hockey." she said after the game.
Yugi blushed and smiled.
"Thanks Beth."
"No prob." she said as she looked around for something to do.
Beth saw something the back and smiled.
"Hey Teresa how about we play that game. That way you can show Yugi how good you are at something other than dueling." Beth suggested.
Teresa looked at where Beth was pointing. Teresa blushed a beat red.
"What? You want me to play the dance game in front of all these people? I don't think so." Teresa said.
Yugi and Yami in spirit form watched the two.
"I wonder what they're talking about?" Yugi asked.
" I don't know Yugi but it does seem intersting." Yami said.
Yugi grinned and closed eyes switching places with Yami.
Yami once outside the puzzle blinked a few times in shock.
" Wait a sec.. Yugi this isn't... oh nevermind.." Yami said before sighing.
(A/N: yes yes i know I'm using soemthing that already happened in episode 53. So sue me I thought this might work in the chapter.)
Teresa and Beth looked behind them and saw Yami instead of Yugi standing there. Beth giggled at Teresa's red face as the spirit came to them.
" What were you two discussing?" he asked.
"Oh I was trying to get little miss 'I'm-too-shy-to-dance-but-not-too-shy-to-duel-in-front-of-thousands.' to go onto that game over there." Beth said pointing to where guy was dancing in front of a big screen.
Yami turned to look at Teresa whos face was beat red.
"That's because dueling doesn't include moving your feet. It only requries using your head so get off my case Beth." Teresa said as Beth continued to laugh.
Yami smiled and watched as the two girls discussed it.
"Awwww, come on T I won't bother you anymore about if you did." Beth said pleading.
"Oh no you don't the last time you gave me those puppy eyes I had to go on a blind date with the worst guy in school. It's not going to work."
" Plleeeaaassseeeee!" Beth begged her.
After a five seconds of Beth staring at Teresa with big eyes and Teresa trying not look she gave in.
"Oh alright alright I'll do it but if I fall flat on my butt you're going to pay." Teresa said.
"YAY!!!!" Beth exclaimed.
Yami and Yugi in spirit form laughed.
'Those two are really close aren't they?' Yugi said smiling.
'I agree. They kind of remind me of Joey and Tristen.' Yami thought.
'Hehehehe. Yeah they do.' Yugi said laughing.
Teresa made her way over to the game and watched as the boy who was on the stage finished. Once the boy got off Beth pushed Teresa towards the stairs.
"Oh no if I'm going to do this you're doing this with me Beth." Teresa said grabbing Beth's hand.
The girls stood on the stage in front of the screen and started to select a song to dance to. Once they selected their song the girls began to move in time with the music and one another. Yami stood at the bottom of the stairs watching the two.
" Woah they're good."
"Hey are they the top duelists from America?"
"Yeah they are. Awesome I got get some pictures of this." said people around the game.
The song ended with Beth and Teresa standing back to back panting.
"Maybe we should do this someother time." Teresa said.
"Yeah but after the tournament." Beth replied.
The girls walked down the stairs getting to Yugi.
"That was a good job you two." Yami said smiling.
Teresa's already red face went redder as she scratched her cheek in embarresment.
"Hehehehe...thanks Yami." She said .
He smiled and chuckled a little. Beth giggled and placed a hand on her friend's shoulder.
"Hey Yami how long do we have before the start of the Tournament?" Beth asked.
Yami looked at the watch on his arm.
"We have about an hour left. Why?" he replied.
"Well we did play a game that makes you sweat. So how bout we stop off at our hotel so me and Teresa can change. The Plaza isn't that far from it." Beth answered.
"Sure I don't see whay not." Yami said.
"Cool." Beth said smiling heading towards the door.
The three left heading to the girls' hotel to refresh before the start of Battle City. They didn't even notice a man with short white hair and wearing a purple cloak watch them walk away.
"Soon Pharaoh I will have your power." said the man in a deep and meanicing voice.
