"You are too good at it!" "I was trained by Kaiba after all!" "Alex, I don't think I can do this anymore." "Fine Joey. I'll leave you be!" I stormed out of Joey's place slamming the door behind me.
I walked to the park where it was peaceful and quiet. "The sun is setting soon." I hear a mother say. "But I want to play!" I smile. "Hey. The sun needs his rest too. If he doesn't get some rest then we wouldn't have any light at all." I said. The child smiled at my story. "I'll rest with the sun! So, I can see him when he wakes!"
I knew how to talk to people and make them smile. But that isn't a job. Joey thinks my job to just talking to people for Kaiba is just him being lazy. He was right. But Mokaba is away at school most the day and I have to fill in. A favor for helping him learn how to duel when Kaiba couldn't teach him.
"Why do we fight over things?" I ask myself. Joey and I could barely get by. Serenity is with Tristan and Tea and Yugi both run the arcade shop. Grampa left it to him so I didn't complain. At least he had help.
I walk through the park to the sunset spot where Joey and I first had our date. "We can start a life together if we try," I remember saying that. I gave him a chance after he gave Yugi his puzzle back. And we saved him and Tristan from getting beat to death.
"We are different," I say. Joey loved to be funny and didn't think things through. I was smart about everything in school and in dueling. Especially when it came down to Kaiba and his rules. I haven't lost and duels to anyone. I let Joey win a few times. But Yugi is the only one who has really beaten me. "Miss?" I look to see and man. "Are you okay?" "Fine. Meeting someone here." I said. The man didn't come close to me. He just left after a minute. "No matter what I do, I will always love you," I said out loud thinking about Joey.
"I knew I would find you here. And I love you too." I hear Joey's voice. I stand up and turn around to see him right there. "We can drive each other crazy, argue over stupid things, but the one thing that keeps me going is the love I will forever give to you." I cried a few tears. "Joey. I know this job is not the best. I would rather be working in dueling but Kaiba won't let me. Too complicated he says. But I only keep going knowing that I come home to you." He hugged me tightly. "I will love you forever and ever."
ring ring. My phone went off. "Hello?" "Alex! Perfect timing! It's Pegusus. And I have some news for you. Kaiba declined my offer to be the new duel monster cards designer but he mentioned you being artistic in high school. I would like you to be my replacement." "What?!" "I'm retiring. Joey can come too. Living in the castle and on the island is a wonderful place. And you can have other people over too." I couldn't believe this! "Yes! I'll take it! Thank you so much!" I hang up the phone. "Joey, we are moving to duelest kingdom. I just got Peguses job!" He hugs me again. "That's great!" I kiss him and he kisses me back. "Let's go home." He says. "And celabrate!" I giggle.
