"I've been here for a few minutes." He replied. "How do you feel?" Tea smiled. "A little better...but I'm still sore. The doctor says I'm doing well from rest and the medicine; and I'll be out in a few more days. I'm sorry I scared you." "It was no trouble, Tea. I'm just glad you're ok." "How's Grandpa? He hasn't thrown out his back again has he?" "No. But he wanted me to tell you 'hi'. Oh! Here." Yugi handed Tea her gift, happy to see her smile through the mask. "Excuse me?" Both turned to see Angela in the doorway. "I don't mean to interrupt, but I have to check Tea's blood pressure real quick." "Oh, ok." "I'll be quick." And quick she was, once she finished Angela left the room while saying, "I'll be back to take your temperature at 4:00, Ms. Garder." "Alright." The blue-eyed girl replied. Once Angela was gone Yugi cleared his throat. "Umm...Tea? There's something I have to tell you." ~*~ Angela turned in the folders of the people she finished looking after, when her thoughts turned to Atem. "I hope he's doing ok...and that he found the shops alright." She went to the Lab to pick up the results for a Doctor who was deciding on which treatment to give the elderly man he was taking care of. Just another day at work... |

Tèa got scared hearing Yugi's tone of voice. She sat up, giving him her best attentive look. "What is it? Is there something wrong?" She sweat nervously and started rubbing her palms together. 'Gosh, I'm not sure I could handle any more bad news.'
~~~~~~~~~~~
Atem had been up from about seven thirty that morning and had long eaten breakfast and prepared for the day. Luckily the tea from the other night had done the trick so he hadn't gotten the sniffles. He was now in one of the clothes shops. He found a couple of leather outfits, but because he knew he would be working soon, he also found some preppy and rather business-like outfits. An older man had given him a funny look seeing him in the teenage boys section, but he shrugged it off. After finding three different pairs of shoes (house slippers, casual foot wear and work shoes) he decided he was good to go. He stood in line at the cash register, hoping everything would go smoothly.

"Tea...the thing is..." "Yugi, tell me." He took a breath. "Atem is back." "....What?" "He's back Tea. He arrived last night-" "Where is he?! Can I see him?!" Yugi held up his hands. "Whoa, calm down Tea! I don't know where he is-" "What do you mean?!" The doctor came in with a worried expression. "Is everything alright in here?" "WHERE IS HE YUGI?!" ~*~ Angela was in the garden playing with the kids when a nurse ran out to her. "Angela! Angela, we need help!" "What's wrong, Rose?" "It's Ms. Garder...she's getting herself all worked up." "I'm on my way." She turned to the kids with a sad smile. "Duty calls, guys. I'll be back for story time." "Ok." They said in unison. Angela ran to room 301, hoping she could get there to help in time. |

Yugi knew he owed Tèa an explanation, but the situation was complicated. He took a deep breath. "Well you probably won't believe this but last night he was in my house and I didn't even know. I was having trouble sleeping because of you and a strange dream, so I woke up. I headed downstairs to make myself some warm milk to help me to fall back to sleep and I heard a noise. I thought it was a burglar only to realize it was Atem. He told me how he returned, but Tèa, I didn't exactly jump for joy or welcome back with open arms.In fact I was really cold to him and treated him like dirt, made it seem like his death was his fault. So when my grandpa came to see what was going on, he left. I can see he was hurt. He probably hates me now." Tears started streaming down the spiky haired teen's face. "I drove him away." He sat in a chair on the corner of the bed, buried his head in his lap and started sobbing.

Tea looked at her sobbing friend, before touching his shoulder. "Yugi...I'm sorry I yelled. So, Atem's really back?" "Yes." "And you don't know where he is?" "No." Tea took a breath, calming her nerves. "Well, we'll find him. Once I'm better we'll look for him." She paused. "He doesn't hate you Yugi. If I know him, he probably hates himself." "I...I reacted badly. Mostly because I was worried about you." Yugi admitted. The dancer ruffled his hair. "I can't blame you for that. Can you think of anywhere he'd go?" "Not really." "Well when you find him...tell him I'd love to see him." That made Yugi smile. "Right." Angela came in that moment, looked worried. "Is everything alright? I heard you were yelling Ms. Garder." "Oh, I'm sorry. Yugi was telling me that an old friend was back...and I got excited." The raven haired woman raised an eye brow. "Clearly. Well, since you're alright I'll go. Just don't let happen again, kay?" Both nodded and Angela turned to Yugi, "Tea's parents are coming to see her in an hour or two. Thought I should let you know." Yugi got up. "Thanks. I have to head back to the shop soon anyway." He hugged Tea before promising to be back tomorrow. As Angela left to head back to the kids, her cross grew warm again. It did the same thing last night and it bothered her. "Why does it keep doing that?"~*~ Unknown to Angela, a raven had been spying on her all morning. It's eyes followed her every move...as if deciding whether to strike or not. Never leaving it's post until something called it back to it's master. It would have quite the report to give him... ~*~ A while later, Roxy was being petted by a few of the younger children as Angela finished reading to all the kids the story of 'Rapunzel'. The dog had her head in one of the little girls laps and looked like she was going to doze off any second. "...'And they lived Happily Ever After'. The End." Angela finished. The kids all clapped and begged for another story, but Angela shook her head. "Sorry, not until tomorrow guys. Now off to bed with you; Roxy and I have to go home early today." They all did as she said, giving Roxy a good-bye pat each. Then waved as the two left. Angela put Roxy in the passenger seat before she got in, and started the car. As they headed home, she hoped Atem had had a good day. Also she wondered what to cook for dinner. She didn't know what he liked...so she'd just have to wing it. Angela saw a light on in the kitchen as she entered the house. "Atem? I'm back! How was your day?" |

Atem was sitting on the living room sofa, reading a book when he heard Angela announcing she was home. He took a look at his watch and didn't realize how much time had passed between after he got home from shopping and that very moment. He rested the book down and went to go talk to her. "It went well, thank you. How about you?" He gave her a small smile.

"It was a nice day. Thank you, for asking."
Angela took off Roxy's harness, and opened the back door to let her romp around the back yard a bit. And to relieve herself.
"Wasn't as busy toady, which is good. I'm going to change then start dinner. Is there anything you'd like to eat?" She asked, while taking off her shoes. Not noticing the look of awe she was receiving from her guest. Nor how she was making him feel at that moment.
(Atem's all you. XD )

"The pleasure is mine," replied the former pharaoh. He tapped his chin as he pondered he wanted. He almost asked her if she knew how to make falafel but he didn't want to give her too much and put her out of her way. "Hmm..no particular requests, although spaghetti would be nice." He could remember the first time he had it..he was so scared to death at first because of how Mokuba went around poisoning all the foods. "Just please, no caviar." He said the last part as politely as he could.

"I don't like Caviar either." Angela admitted, giggling. "First time I tried it, I nearly threw up. I'll make pasta then, just let me change."
As she went into her room, the young woman heard Roxy bound inside. Going straight for Atem, no doubt. "Roxy, here girl! Leave Atem be!"
The dog came into the room and panted while whining. She clearly wanted to spend some time with the young man. Once Angela had changed into her T-shirt and shorts, she headed to the kitchen. Angela saw Atem reading as she prepared the water with olive oil and a pinch of salt. She saw Roxy enter the room and was about to call her over when the dog lay by the couch with her head on her paws.
"Seems Roxy likes you, Atem." Angela said, while getting the bowls out.

Atem's lips curled up a little when he realized he and Angela had something in common. He held back a chuckle. "Goodness, that's a shame. Well I can tell you my experience with it didn't go quite that badly." He was just more of a laid back king than those rulers who were quite ostentatious in their tastes. His stomach rumbled at the sound of pasta. He considered it close enough to spaghetti. Atem went to read while he waited for Angela to return, staying as far away from the dog as possible. He wasn't in the mood to de-slobber himself. He furrowed a brow at the admission that Roxy liked him. "So I can see."

Angela put the pasta into the water and got out the sauce and cheese, before getting out the forks and cups. Humming as she did every time she cooked. When the food was done and put in the middle of the table, did Angela call Roxy over to her food bowl to give the dog her dinner. "Dinner time, Roxy."
As the dog chowed down, Angela went over to the couch and tapped Atem on the shoulder. "Dinner's ready. Hope you have your appetite."

"All right, I will join you momentarily. " He took the book to the room and dashed to the bathroom to wash his hands. He knew if he had left it out on the couch, it would be destroyed. He made a mental note to make a list of all his favorites so Angela wouldn't be nervous about making the wrong thing. Although he wasn't that much of an eater, hence his small figure, he was fine as long as he wasn't given caviar or shallot wasn't put on his food. In other words, he was pretty agreeable. He re-entered the dining room and sat, waiting for Angela to bring out everything, thinking about how she said hope he had his appetite. 'Is she trying to fatten me up or something?'

( 'Fatten him up...that's funny! XD )
Angela poured water into the glasses and washed her hands as Atem came back into the room. They sat down after Angela brought out the food, and she served him first. "Tomorrow's my day off." She explained. "I was thinking of going to a movie or maybe the Aquarium...I haven't seen the whales for a long time. I also have some shopping to do...which reminds me; I need to know which kinds of foods you like so I can get them. Do you have any allergies I need to know about? I don't want you having a bad reaction and needing-Gah! I'm babbling, please forgive me."

(hehehehe..well he weighs just over 90 lbs so yeah)
Atem thanked the young woman when she poured his water and served his food. He knew would be wise to let it sit as there was still steam rising so he didn't mind it when Angela started to make conversation with him. He chuckled a little. "You're fine. No need to apologize. " He wasn't sure whether she was asking him to go to the movies or aquarium with her or not and he didn't want to assume. ' If she is, I would be delighted to accompany her. It would give us an opportunity to get to know each other better.' He scrunched up his brow in thought at her question about what he liked eating."Hmm, good question. I am not much of an eater, but in terms of Egyptian cuisine, I do enjoy falafel and koshari." He wondered if he should mention about how there was a time he didn't remember most things about himself so that was how he learned to suck it up within reason, and not be uptight. 'Chances are she won't believe me if I reveal that. ' "But I have grown accustomed to the cuisine here as well, so don't think I expect you prepare Egyptian food for me every meal. I am also quite partial to spaghetti and sushi. Milkshakes, hamburgers, pizza and French fries are guilty pleasures of mine. As for allergies, no, not that I am aware of. Just please, no caviar..not to worry, my experience with it didn't go quite as badly as yours did. I am not very fond of shallot, either." He hoped she would see he was fairly easy to please, which was unusual for someone of his status.

Angela blushed when Atem mentioned caviar, then replied, "Ok then. I'll make a list of things to get...if there's anything you'd like to add go right ahead." She took a bite of food, and watched as Atem did the same before he complimented on her cooking. A thought then crossed her mind. "If you're not doing anything tomorrow...would you...like to join me? The fact is I...I'd like to get to know you better. You can pick the place." She felt her face burn and feared she'd have a permanent face of strawberry red. "Why am I blushing so hard?"
