Téa was at Mai's house, talking about random things. Mai wasn't even listening to her ramblings. She was thinking about that boy that left her.
It was rain-drenched day, just like the one five years ago was. Mai was waving good-bye to her love Joey, and wishing him good luck in the United States. The last words, of their last conversation were still swirling in her head.
(Flash back)
'Wait for me, will you?' he said.
'I will, I'll wait! I'll wait, until the end. But please don't go away for too long.'
'I won't,' and gave her a kiss, before boarding the plane.

Five years ago, he had said he would come, and she had promised him that she would wait. She was going to be married in a week, and she didn't know what she would say when she met him then. How could she say that she was married, when she had promised that she would wait? Besides, he hadn't even written a letter, an e-mail or even bothered to call. He was probably with a different girl, probably already forgot about her. She shook her head. For god's sake! She was going to marry Ryou, in a couple of days! How could she even think about him? All of the other girls of the crew had already sorted out their love problems. Serenity, even though her brother hated it, was dating Seto, and in the end her brother accepted it, and decided to let her go. Téa was dating Malik, and they were a happy couple. Isis was already married to Yami, and they were living with Yugi and his Grandfather in Egypt. They had only went there because Yami wanted to know more about his past. Only she was still lost, not knowing if she should continue waiting for Joey or just marry Ryou. Why did everything have to be so difficult for her?
'Mai?' Téa asked, concerned, 'Are you ok?'
When Maid didn't respond to her question, she asked it again.
'Mai? Earth to Mai? Are you ok?'
Mai responded, 'Huh? Yeah! I'm fine, don't worry about me.'
'But Mai! You've been quiet the entire evening!'
'I'm fine!' She snapped.
'Fine, have it your way. But something is on your mind, and I know it.'
How could she tell her that she didn't love the man she was going to marry?
'Well, it's just, I'm worried,' She reluctantly said.
'About what?'
'Well, do you remember that boy, who left five years ago?' she questioned. Perhaps if Téa forgot about him, she wouldn't have to explain.
'Of course I do! That charming blonde! What was his name.oh yeah! It was Joey! Joseph Wheeler!' exclaimed Téa.
'Five years ago, when he left to go to America, and I still remember these words,' she closed her eyes, 'he said that he would come, and I promised that I would wait for him. But after all these years,' a tear escaped from her eye, 'I haven't even heard a word from him ever since.'
'WHAT?' was the startled girl's reply, 'How about Serenity? Does she know about her brother's whereabouts?'
'I've asked, but she doesn't know, either. All she knows is that he's still in the US. Most likely, as I'm guessing, he'll never come back, or he's fallen in love with another. I guess it's time for me to move on, and to stop dreaming.'
'You know, Mai, I read a story once, when I was a child. It was about this Prince. He lived in a different world, and he never knew what was on earth. One day while strolling around his kingdom, he found a rose. And the rose had told him that there were no other roses, there was only one. Therefore, he took that rose, and cared for it, we watered it, cared for it. But one day, he was told that he would have to go, to the earth. When he arrived, he was surprised to see so many roses, because he thought that there was only one. The rose knew that there were many more roses on earth, but was afraid that he would like a different, prettier rose. But when he came back, do you know what he told that rose?'
'What did he say?'
'He said that of all the roses that he had seen, he already loved and cared a different rose, not those on the earth. Because that rose was special to him, and it always will.'
Mai felt better, and blew her nose. 'Thanks Téa. That made me feel a lot better.'
Téa replied, 'He hasn't forgotten you, how could he? He asked you to wait for him. As long as you wait, he will be back.'
Mai worried, replied, 'But what am I to do about that wedding? It's only a week away! I can't just tell them to postpone it! And I don't want to hurt Ryou either! Even though he might not be the one I love the most, I don't want to hurt his heart! He still is a dear friend of mine.'
Though, they did not know, a figure was standing in the rain, drenched, listening to their conversation. The figure wiped away a tear, and walked away in the rain. He lied. He came too late for her.

But then a couple days before school starts, I will be in Huai Lien (some area in Taiwan) for three days. And I'm in the middle of a huge writer's block.
