A Dancer's Joy

RonaldM40196867: It's always best. Or at least depending on the situation.

BearfootTruck: Yes, we are even. Figured you didn't their a Disney Channel 3 films collection and a girl group. Who doesn't? Couples doing sweet things together never fails to make me smile.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ATEM!"

The gang shouts of course with Téa hugging him around the neck. Joined in Yugi fist bumps his older twin at the same time.

. . .Well all thrilled as the former Egyptian pharaoh expect his little brother's girlfriend. Her bright blue eyes behind her half oval red framed glasses, looks to Yugi not Atem's sweet face.

Turning away to head into the kitchen, the blonde sighs. As she enters a moment later behind the door, Atem's purple eyes follow her movements to the counter.

"Would you prefer I cut the two slices?"

Not turning to face him, she lightly shakes her blonde pigtailed head. She casually quietly cuts out a decent piece. Surprising Atem as she offers him the first slice.

"No thanks, you know I can manage. Here birthday boy." She gives a genuine smile. Tho Atem nods firmly, watching her turn away cutting her own piece.

"Rebecca. . ."

"Stop right there."

She states cutting him off at the same time, she slashes the knife through the large rectangle cake with the Dark Magician and Kuriboh pictures smiling.

"Look Yugi and the others forgive you. Me? It's been a year, still don't feel you deserve their happiness. For my Yugi's sake I'll be civil."

Atem steps forward, not at all trapping the shorter teenager. He knows her fury at him then and right now is justified. Staring in her eyes, he gives her a tiny smile.

"Understood. I'm forever sorry for my actions, as I promised Yugi again I'm vowing to you now. I will let my anger block my judgement and hurt those I care about."

The self-proclaimed genius narrows her blue eyes firmly nodding, walking straight pass him. Backside to him, her voice rings clear.

"Thank you. But I'm warming you, ever put Yugi in danger you know could have been prevented. . ."

"You may have first crack at me. Punishment is what is I deserve once again."

He cuts her off, seeing her tiny fists clench but a tiny smile takes her freckled face.

THE END!
