Chapter 3 - Double Date

Amber woke up with a slight headache. She sat up and realized someone must of covered her up. Maybe Yugi covered me up. Amber gazed to her right to find her darker side. Morning. What time is it?

7 am.

Cool. Yugi probably isn't up yet.

You seemed to have cried on his shoulder last night till the pharoah took over as did I. You both seemed to be warn out. Now what do you say you get up and make breakfast?

It's not like you eat.

Maybe I should take over and try some of this food you make?

Go ahead. Don't blame me if you become poisoned. Laughing Amber pulled on a strange looking uniform laying scattered on the bed. She put it on and put her black hat under her arm. Well...this uniform isn't as bad...at least it's not puck green. Smiling light she headed down the stairs and started breakfast.

Yugi trudged down the stairs at 7:30 am looking dishiveled. His pj's were in a bundled mess. Amber turned around and put her hands on her hips. "I see without me to wake you up you look like a horrible mess."

"Shut up. I'm not a morning person. Besides that, Yami forgot to wake me up!" Yugi glared to his right.

It's not my fault that you forgot to tell me to wake you up.

So it's my fault?

"Come on guys. It's no ones fault. Yes Yami, I can see you and I can hear you. I do have a dark side of my own you know." She placed a plate full of pancakes on the table. "Where's gramps?"

"He had to go to Egypt late last night. Won't be home for a month." Yugi gazed down at his food with a sad expression.

"He'll come back. He always does right?"

"Right. My grandpa went there last night as well. He says there is an important expedition going on. Very important and who made these great pancakes? Yugi?"

"No. I did for as a matter of fact." Amber placed her hat on the side of the chair. "I hoped no one would die from them." Rebecca spit some out. "Just kidding. Just a little joke." Amber laughed alongside Yugi who ate his food quietly.

"Very funny you two. Now shut up and eat." Rebecca plucked another pancake off the plate.

Once breakfast was done Amber grabbed her backpack from her guest bedroom and stuffed it with with school supplies. "We ready?"

"Yeah. Rebecca is heading to the college right?"

"Yeah. Talk to you later Yugi." Rebecca rushed out of the door.

"Well...that was pleasnt. Three days I've been here and not one nice thing to say about me. So do we walk or take the bus?"

"Well...Joey said he was walking today so want to walk?"

"Sure. If it's no problem?"

"No. Come on. We might be late." Yugi pulled Amber out the door. Just as they passed the corner Amber, Yugi and a blonde teen with chocolate brown eyes fell to the ground. "Ow..." was the unanamous response.

"Sorry Joey." Yugi got up and helped Joey up and Joey helped Amber up.

"Who's dis?" Joey looked Amber in the eyes, "She's kinda cute."

"Joey!" Yugi hid his face in embaressment. "I'm sorry about Joey."

"It's okay," Amber looked at Yugi and Joey. Joey hid his face expecting her to slap him. Yugi looked at Amber confused.

"Wow. Such high tolerance. Interesting..." Joey rubbed his chin. "What's your name?"

"Amber Tokitai. Your's?"

"Joey Wheeler. Nice ta meet ya!" Joey shook her hand and put an arm around her shoulder.

"Do you know where the school is?" Amber asked removing his arm.

"Uh...Yug?"

"You mean to say you've been going to the school for a least two years Joey and you don't know where it is? Or are you just looking for some private time with Amber?" Yugi eyed his friend suspiciously.

"Maybe a little of both?" Joey shrugged his shoulders.

"Hey hun! Hi Yugi and who is this?" A woman with long wavy blonde hair jumped out of the car and looked Amber over. The woman had violet coloured eyes and wore red lipstick. Her shirt was a white corset low top and she wore a short purple mini skirt and purple vest.

"Uh...I'm Amber." She backed away from the woman.

"Hi Mai."

"Joseph, how are you doing?"

"I keep saying call me JOEY!"

"Well...okay Joey. Remember you still owe me for part of the date we had a couple of nights ago."

"Yeah...I remember," Joey replied kicking a stone on the ground. "I remember."

"So...do you guys want a ride to school? You won't be on time at the pace you're going."

"Sure." Yugi got in the back and Joey joined Yugi in the back. Amber assumed she was to sit in the front.

"So...where did you come from Amber?" Mai asked as she sped down the road.

"Uh...Tokyo Japan."

"What?! You came all the way from there?" Joey looked at her in awe. "Wow. I've always wanted to go there."

"Same." Yugi nodded, "So what was it like?"

"Busy. I had my own apartment but I didn't want to live there anymore...so I moved and came here. Still looking for a place of-"

"Why don't you stay with me hun?"

"Uh...I'm afraid I already accepted Yugi's officer. Sorry."

"It's okay kid. I'm taking you shopping some time. Get you some better clothes then this uniform."

"I already have some-"

"Hush. We're going shoping for you!" Mai pulled up at the school. "Meet me after school, this spot. We'll see you boys later. How about a double date? Joey still owes me part of one."

"Uh...I don't have a date."

"How about you and Yugi?" Amber and Yugi looked at each other going bright red.

It's a good idea my light. Why should you not? You barely know anyone here other then these three. It is a great way to get to know them.

But after school shopping? I need to do-

Homework? Yes I understand but I may be able to help you there. Now get going or you shall be late. Amber trudged out of the car.

"So how about it?"

"Sure," everyone mumbled. With a huge smile Mai was off.

"After school!" Mai shouted out.

"Yeah, yeah..." Amber pulled herself into the school. The first bell rang and she rushed into the office. Joey and Yugi rushed to their first class.

In the office Amber waited nervously for the principal to come. She twidled her thumbs and chewed on a strand of loose hair. "Amber Tokitai, I have your school records here. Good grades, no missed days, honors. Good record indeed. I'm pleased to have you at this school. Here is your timetable for the day. Good thing you're starting fresh in the second semester. You've only missed a week. That's good. Here are your classes. I hope you enjoy them. This is your locker combanation and locker. I'll have Mr. Motou show you around after first class. If you have any problems come and see me." Amber didn't have time to study the mans face as he pushed out of the office just as soon as she had come in.

What does your day plan for school like my light?

Well I have History with Mrs. Faclon from 8:15 am to 9:36 am room 206, then I have Math from 9:43 to 10:58 am with Mr. Gorgian, room 138, after that I have lunch from 10:58 am to 11: 40 am but by 11: 53 am I have to be in English which goes till 1:08 pm, room 136, my teacher in that is Mr. Faderson, my last class runs from 1:15 pm to 2:30 pm, room 225, when I get out.

Which class is that my light?

Uh...Art.

With whom?

With Mrs. Akiro.

It sounds like you have all easy classes. Your best grades are in english, math, history and art.

I guess. I hope I enjoy it. Better get going. Outside of Room 206 Amber gulped and pushed open the door.

"This class is Amber Tokitai. She will be joining us for the rest of the year. You can take a seat by-" Joey was waving his arms about in the air, "Mr. Motou. Will you please raise your hand?" Yugi put his hand up and Amber took a seat by him.

"Hi Amber. Wow...first class together." Amber started to pull her books out of her bag and looked at him.

"Yeah. Is this teacher any good?"

"He's good alright," Yugi replied.

"Okay class, open your books to page 142 please."

History was extremely boring to Amber. Math with Mr. Gorigan was lousy since he hated most kids which made Amber wonder why he even became a teacher, english with Mr. Faderson was alright but once again slightly dull but the teacher was nice. Art was the class Amber most enjoyed.

"Okay class, today we are going to play around with clay."

"What is the point of that?" a calm voice spoke in the back. Amber turned and saw a teen with dark short brown hair and bright blue eyes glaring at the teacher.

"The point of that is Mr. Kaiba to discover something about ourselves that we didn't know was in us." Clearly Mrs. Akiro was annoyed by that paticular student.

"On the contrary Mrs. Akiro, art is for those who are dreamers. Dreamers are a waste of time on this earth in my point a view." This comment earned the teen quite a few glares but he didn't care. Amber looked at him oddly. "What are you looking at? Didn't you know...hats aren't allowed in class." Realizing she was the only one wearing a hat she stood up and walked over to his table which no one else sat at. "What are you doing?"

"What I am doing is sitting by you for the rest of the year." The whole class gasped. Most students who tried that were sent plumiting to the floor.

"Fine suit yourself," muttered the teen and went back to glaring at the teacher.

"As much as I enjoy expressing yourself you must follow the rules," Mrs. Akiro nodded at Amber who took that hat off. "But I like the idea of Mr. Kaiba having someone sit by him. You might inspire him."

"I highly doubt that. The only reason I'm taking this class is to earn my extra credit they say I keep skipping out on and get it over with."

"Oh...I think we'll find the artist in you yet."

"Since this class started a week late I suppose I better explain it to you better then the supply. This year we will be learning about famous painters, doing sculptures and paintings of our own, and the most important thing of this class is to discover a little bit more about ourselves that we didn't know. Any questions?"

A girl with long auburn hair raised her hand. "I do ma'am."

"Yes Miss Wheeler, go ahead."

"Do you mean that we'll find something deeper inside ourselves then we thought was there?"

"Yes. Very good Miss Wheeler. Any other questions? Yes, Miss..."

"Gardner."

"Miss Gardner ask away."

"Will we be exploring the different techniques that one uses to paint and do art with?"

"Yes. What is the definition of art? Can anyone tell me?"

Kaiba spoke up, "Well, the definition of it is-"

"Yes Mr. Kaiba, continue..."

"I would if you would let me. Art is a waste of time and money. Half the people who want to be artists don't make it and barely can afford to live. That is the defintion of art."

"Okay...I'm not sure that is the definition I was looking for. Does anyone have another definition?"

"I do ma'am."

"What is that Miss Tokitai?"

"Well, since everyone has a different opinion of art everyone has a different definition of it. Mine is that it is about bring life to the lifeless, bring motion to the world. Art helps us understand some of the greater things in life, and some of the simpler ones. Art can't truely be defined because there are so many periods in time at what was considered art. Since we all have a diferent definition of it I suppose that is part of what we are going to learn."

"Miss Tokitai, that is one of the most informative and very true defintions of art. Congradulations on seeing what we are partially going to be looking for. Mr. Kaiba you could learn from her." Mrs. Akiro looked at the clock, "Seeing as we are nearly out of time I shall let you gather your books. I know some of you will drop this course so I will not be surprised if some of you are not here tomorrow. Mr. Kaiba I will not let you drop this course though, we have a lot to teach you." The bell rang and everyone ran out of the class to just get out of school.

Amber met Kaiba out of the class room. "Thanks alot." He shoved her out of the way and walked toward the doors.

"You're welcome," Amber called out cheerfully and met Yugi at her locker.

"Did you enjoy your day?"

"Pretty much. English and Math was boring but art was all talking and it was pissing this one kid off. I'm trying to think of his name. Kaiba I think."

"Kaiba?! You stuck up to Kaiba?!" Yug sounded shocked.

"Wow. Congrats." Turning around Amber spotted Joey. "Mai's waiting for you."

"How do you know?"

"I just saw her car," Joey groaned.

"I'll see both of you later...bye."

"She's a gonner Yug."

"What do you mean?"

"She's a gonner, ever been shopping with Mai before?" Yugi shook his head no, "Thought so. Oh and Mai emailed the resturant were going to. Dress up fancy." Joey pulled Yugi out of the school.

Half an hour later Amber came into the game shop carrying bags and bags of clothes with Mai's help. "Was all this necessary?"

"Yes. You need some more pants-"

"More?! We only bought fouty-eight pairs of them, twenty skirts, thirty mini skirts, fifteen shorts, and over fourty different kinds of tops!"

"Calm down hun, I get it, oh and don't forget three evening gowns. Let's go get ready." Amber sighed and put the bags in her room with Mai's help. She grabbed the bag with her evening dress and dragged her tired self out to Mai's car.

Joey and Yugi walked into the Kami Game Shop with a tux in their hands. There was a note on the table. Picking it up Yugi read the note aloud. "Hey Yugi, it's from me, Amber. Mai took me to her apartment to get ready. I'll see you tonight *Sigh* and don't be late. She wanted me to put that in. Oh and there was a strange warning for Joey. Here it is: Joey if you're late again you know what will happen to you."

"Oh man! We better get ready Yug!" Joey pulled both of them upstairs and both got dressed and gelled their hair quickly.

"What was that warning about Joey?" Yugi asked as Mai's car pulled into the driveway.

"Uh...nevermind. Let's just hurry!" Joey pushed Yugi into the back seat and sat beside him. "See Mai. On time."

"Sir, this is the wrong car." Joey looked around and it was. Pulling himself and Yugi out of the car and into the right one the four of them were off to one of the finest dinning astablishments in the city.

"Table for four I presume," came a cocky british accent.

"Please?" Mai hiked up her dress a bit.

"Very well...right this way." Joey gave Mai a questioning look and led them to a table.

Half an hour into the dinner there was a hysterical conversation going on.

"So...I got him to try on the little pink skirt!" More laughter followed and everyone headed home soon after. Joey was a little embaressed but okay.

"What a wonderful evening." Amber looked up at the sky, "Wasn't it Yugi?"

"Yeah..." Yugi's eyes filled hope, "We better go inside. Rebecca said she would be back by midnight and we don't want her to think anything happened."

"Yeah," Amber nodded and they got dressed into their pj's. Well at least Yugi did. Amber pulled on a brand new black silk tank top and silk red shorts. "Yugi...do you need the hair spray?"

"No that's okay, but could you pass me a towel?" Once Yugi wrapped his hair up in the towel he caught site of Amber. "Uh...uh, y-you look-" Yami pushed his lighter half again, "HOT! I mean nice!" Yugi blushed.

You're a dead man Yami!

I'm already dead Yugi. Yami laughed.

Just you wait...

Outside the window cold grey eyes watched as Yugi and Amber chatted away. Just you wait...you're mine, by tomorrow night I'll have killed you for my boss.

So Amara, why are you so nervous? Amber sat down in the kitchen and looked out the window.

Just, something was not right just now. Probably just tiredness talking.

Possibly. Why don't you get some sleep?

Sounds good. Good night my light.
