"Ms. Chouno looks beautiful again today." Miho admired on our way to school. I rolled my eyes.
"Please, It's just a bunch of makeup to cover a face so hideous." I told her.
"Whether the teacher is pretty or not, it has nothing to do with us." Tea said.
"Hey you." Chouno said, stopping us. "What is that?" She asked. The brunette in front of us looked down.
"It's a mascot." She told her. Chouno reached down and took it off her bag.
"It's against the rules. Give it here." She smiled cruelly and the girl gasped. "Be more careful next time!" And walked away.
Tea raised her hands. "Plus she's strict with rules."
"But that's what teachers have to do right?" Miho asked. I snorted.
"That's what they're meant to do. They just usually ignore it." I explained. "Why do you think I get off wearing the boys uniform?"
Tea nodded. "Ms. Chouno is trying to make them even more strict!" She exclaimed. "There's a rumor that she's been making a lot of proposals."
"You're kidding!" Miho gasped. I noticed a green haired girl behind us but said nothing.
"I wish."
"Uh… Miho,Tea, Naru!" She called. We looked at her.
"Good Morning Mayumi!" Tea greeted. I waved.
"What's wrong?" Miho asked.
She looked up. "I need some advice!"
"Eh! Joey!?" Tea exclaimed shocked. I chuckled.
It's about time. I've been waiting forever for this episode.
Miho covered mouth. "No, Tea!" She shout/whispered.
"Your voice is far too loud." I told Tea. She glared and removed Miho's hand.
"I get it. But…" We glanced inside the classroom where Joey and Tristan were fighting and Yugi was watching helplessly.
"Hey you!" Tristan yelled. "You skipped out on cleaning duty again! As a beautification member I cannot forgive that!"
Joey clasped his hands together. "Please forgive that Tristan! Please!" He begged. "I had something to do."
"Just what do you like about Joey?" I asked her curiously. Just because I'm from another dimension don't mean I know all the details.
"It's hard to say…" Mayumi said.
"You shouldn't ask things like that, Tea!" Miho scolded. I cracked a smile. Miho got hearts in her eyes. "Love doesn't need a reason!"
"I wonder what Joey likes." Mayumi wondered.
"What he likes?" Tea asked.
"What are you going to do?" Miho wondered.
"It's a present!" She exclaimed smiling. "I'm going to give Joey something he likes as a present!"
"What does he like?" Tea asked her. I facepalmed.
"He and Tristan often talk about lewd videos." Miho offered.
"I can't give him that as a present!" Mayumi complained. We crossed our arms and I stole Tea's idea.
"Yugi!" I called breaking their fight up. "Can you come out here for a minute?"
"What is it, Naru?" He asked. I chuckled nervously.
"Just… come here." He nodded confused and began to walk towards us. Joey and Tristan followed confused.
"What? Us too?" Joey asked.
"NO! Girls and Yugi only! Now shoo!" I yelled and shut the door once Yugi walked in the hallway.
"Huh?" Yugi said confused. "What Joey likes?"
"Yeah. You'd know that right?" Tea asked him. Yugi put a hand to his face thinking.
"Ah! He'd probably like lewd videos!" Yugi said. Us girls fell to the ground.
"Not somethin' like that!" I exclaimed. "Something a girl can give as a present!"
"And Naru is giving it?" Yugi asked sadly. I had the expression of complete and utter horror on my face.
"Hell no!" I shouted freaked out. "Mayumi is!"
"Hey! Naru!" She complained. Yugi looked relieved.
"It's okay. Yugi here won't tell anyone." I assured.
"Right Yugi?" Tea asked an edge detected in her voice.
"If it's a secret, then I'll keep it a secret." He replied.
"So the present?" I asked. Yugi looked up thoughtfully.
"Joey likes games. Maybe something from our shop?"
I nodded. "That is true." I said. "Grandpa might have something Mayumi could give to Joey."
"Let's look after school." Miho planned.
"I see." Grandpa said. "A present full of the feelings for the opposite sex?"
I sweatdropped. "You don't have to make it sound so weird." I mumbled.
"It sure is nice to be young."
"Hey Naru," Mayumi whispered. I sighed.
"It's alright. You can trust him." I whispered back. Grandpa pounded his fist in his hand.
"I've got something good for that!" He exclaimed.
"Really Grandpa!?" Yugi asked excitedly.
"Yugi, I've told you this is how I got your Grandmother." He explained and reached up in a box. "If I recall, it's in this box…" Dust went everywhere and he coughed.
"Is this really a good idea?" Miho asked. Tea smiled awkwardly.
"I think it'll be okay…"
"Oh here it is!" Grandpa took out a box. He blew on it making dust go everywhere. We coughed. He took of the lid. "Here."
"A jigsaw puzzle?" Mayumi asked.
"But there's nothing drawn on it." Miho noted. "It's blank."
"Yup. Send your feeling to the other person in pieces." He explained. "The receiver will put the message together one by one. And the message will expand. It's romantic!"
"That's lovely! Really lovely! Really Romantic!" Mayumi exclaimed happily.
"Yup! Yup!"
"I'm buying this!" She said and Grandpa placed the lid back on the box.
"Here. Come again!"
"But what kind of message should I write?" She asked worriedly. I sighed and took the box from Grandpa.
"Tomorrow's Sunday. Take your time and think about it." I said handing it out to her.
"Did you write it?" Miho asked. Mayumi nodded and took out the box. "Cute!" She exclaimed when she saw the wrapping.
"I did my best all night." Mayumi modestly said.
"So what do we do?" Tea asked.
"Probably leaving it in his desk would be best." I told her wanting the plot to move along.
"But if that guy finds it won't he just start working on it in front of everyone?" Tea asked me. I blinked.
"Uh… when that happens I'll bring him to the roof." Yugi said.
I nodded. "Okay, let's go with that idea."
"Yeah." They agreed.
"Joey isn't here yet?" Tea said.
"Could it be he's absent today?" Miho wondered. I placed my head in my hands bored out of my mind.
Just then Joey ran in. "Whew! Made it in time!"
"Your late." I stated bluntly.
"Take your seat already." Tristan told him. "Teacher will be here soon." Joey did so and sighed.
"I stayed up watchin' videos all night." He explained. "I went ta bed late."
"Oh, lewd videos?" Tristan asked. Joey glared.
"Don't insult me! It was Hong Kong action!"
The door opened and Chouno walked in.
"Stand up!" We did so. "Salutation! Take seat." We sat down.
"Okay, open your textbooks." She ordered.
Joey took out the present.
"Idiot! Hurry and hide that!" I whispered fiercely.
"Joey! What are you doing during class?" Chouno asked walking over. "An ayaben? What a cute bento lunch." She took it from him and I glared.
"That's not mine." Joey told her.
"Not yours?" She asked. "But you had it right?"
Joey turned his head. "It was just in my desk. Someone must have put it there by accident."
"Accident? I see." She said and walked back to her desk. "But teacher always tells you, don't bring things to school, that aren't related to class." She held up the box. "What could this be Joey?"
"I already told ya! I don't know!" He shouted.
She smiled cruelly and ripped the box open. "Really?" Puzzle pieces fell out. "Jigsaw puzzle? That's no good. You shouldn't bring a play thing. You's probably take it out and lose yourself in it. Truly adverse to studying." She placed some of the pieces together. "Oh! How interesting! When you put the pieces together words come out!" She began to read it, "Ever since I met you… I've always been preoccupied…" She put a hand to her mouth. "Oh no! Is this a confession!?" The kids in class laughed except for Mayumi, Yugi, Miho, Tea, and I.
"That's no good. This would be a terrible distraction. In other words, against school rules. Perhaps leading to expulsion." I stood up ticked off. Scaring the students and Chouno.
"You know what!? Screw school rules! Your an ugly bitch who uses make up to cover up that ugly little face of yours!" I shouted pointing at her. "Go ahead and expel me, but I'm just saying the truth! You like to seduce people just to get what you want! So stop bullying Joey and get your ugly little face out of here!" I sat but blinked in surprise when I saw Yami in Yugi's place.
I thought we were following the anime today!? I thought, confused.
"Prepare to be expelled Naru!" She growled at me and She continued to place the last pieces of the puzzle. The students screamed.
"No way!"
"Owaah! What a ugly face!"
"Naru was right! She was wearing a make up and hiding an ugly face!"
"Look!"
"C-C-C-Classes are over for the day!" She shouted and ran out of the room. "Tell anyone and I'll kill you!
I looked at Yami confused. He smiled at me and changed back into Yugi.
"What a weird face!" Tristan exclaimed.
"EWW!" Miho screamed.
"That was close." Mayumi said, relieved.
This episode is all messed up now.
