Hello guys. Any way this is a new thing I'm working on. I saw a movie like this once but I forgot what it was called. O know I remember it was a Fox Family TV Christmas special called THREE DAYS!!!!!!!!!(Which I don't own or the song just "Missed the train" that would be Kelly Clarkson)
Yugi: in that case you remember it...you do have a brain after all
Me: well guess what
Yugi: what?
Me: you're not going to be in this fic
Yugi: * silently* yes
Me: what did you say?!
Yugi: me? ...nothing*wink*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~*Roll over baby*~
~*The time has come*~
~*To make a little bit more room*~
I was in my office preparing for a meeting with my vice president when I looked at the time. Good, it was only 3:15. I remembered that Mai and I were going to pick out our first house together. My apartment was way too small and she really wanted to get out of it. We were to meet with a house owner at 4.
"Mr. Wheeler, why aren't you there?"
"Where?"
"The meeting."
"What? That can't be. The meeting is in five minutes!"
"Look, your clock is all wrong. Let me set it for you..Let's see. It's around 4:15."
"4:15!!!!!!!! Mai is going to kill me!!!!!!!"
~*I've hung around you*~
~*It's getting tough*~
~*I think I'm gonna break down soon*~
I ran out the door thinking of the expression on her face when I told her that I found a nice place near my job so I could get home sooner. She was so happy. I just have to get there.
Finally I'm here- but Mai is outside, with tears in her eyes. I wonder what's wrong.
"Mai, I am so sorry I'm late. Do you like the house?"
"It was beautiful like you said, but then a-another couple was there and said they would take it...I didn't know what to do as I saw them sign the papers."
Then I felt an impulse in my lower body as she crashed into me and I started to cry. I wanted all of her pain to be given to me, all her burdens, her fears, and her wants. I want to give her the world.
~*Cuz I remember*~
~*crying in the park*~
~*It was getting dark*~
~*suddenly I looked up*~
~*you were my sky*~
We walked back to the house together, her and I. Her head was on my shoulder crying and I comforting her. Then my cell phone rang...I hate these plastic disasters. But I picked it up any way.
"Hello? Yes..No I will not. It's Saturday. No ...No.. Fine, but never again."
"What was that?"
"Looks like I have to work on Saturday."
"Come on, that's the third time this month!"
"I know. It's that or Sunday."
"Oh. You really what to see them again, huh?"
"We haven't seen them since high school. They don't even know we're married."
"I think they'll be surprised."
~*So go on*~
~*And sleep darling*~
~*Why don't you pretend we were just a dream*~
As we reached the apartment, she said she had something for me. When see opened the door of my apartment she gave me an old book. After brushing off the dust, I knew what it was. It was my high school year book.
"I thought I lost it in the move."
"Yeah. I found it with this."
Inside the box as everything that I held dear when I was in high school... My duel disk, pictures of us at all the different tournaments we went to. But one really caught my eye... I lifted it out of the box and looked in excitement. I showed it to Mai... It was the picture Yugi took of me and Mai's first kiss
"Wow. Thanks, hon."
~*It's cool baby*~
~*It doesn't matter anyway*~
~*Well I'm so sorry*~
The next day was a little better. Mai made me a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch and she went to her salon, doing the biggest Japanese pop star hair and nails. I said that after work I would surprise her. It's really a dinner at her favorite restaurant
"Mr. Wheeler?"
"What is it?"
"Can I take the rest of the day off? It's my daughter's birthday and-"
"Say no more. Of course you can. Say 'Happy Birthday' for me, ok?"
"Thank you, sir! and I will!"
"How many times have I told you? Call me Joey."
"Ok Mr... I mean Joey."
~*Down to the station a little too late*~
~*Such a shame*~
~*Just missed the train*~
~*Just missed the train*~
That was the last person in my office. I was all alone now. I pulled on one of the wooden drawers of my oak desk and took a look at my old year book. I saw myself. I didn't recognize myself. I had that old long hair cut and that gleam in my eyes that Mai said is the reason she married me when I got out of collage. Then I look at all my friends... Yugi my best friend, I wonder what he looks like now? We went through a lot together... Egypt, London, America, the whole gang. Everyone still thinks it a miracle that we didn't stay back because of all the days we were out.
~*Be quiet angel*~
~*Don't make a sound*~
~*Just save it for a rainy day*~
Then I pictured Tristan, Tea, Seto and Bakura all grown up. Well I knew what Seto was up to, but I hear about him every day. Right now, he has the biggest business in all of Asia. They say that he now has 45 different houses around the world... Then I looked at a picture of Yugi holding up his first place trophy from Battle City. I haven't heard from him since high school. I hope the little guy is okay. No one has spoken to me since that day. The day that we graduated and the day I got into a fight with my best friend. I was so stupid. I almost killed him.
~*Oh can't you see me*~
~*I'm such a mess*~
~*Just trying hard to find my way*~
I remember nothing of that fight except it ended with Yugi in the hospital. I stayed at his bedside for three weeks, crying, telling everyone how stupid I was... I felt like a sheep who lost its master. I was so lonely... I still remember the day that he woke up... I was asleep and he just pulled my hair back and I woke up to see him smiling at me...
~*We were feeling fine*~
~*But we couldn't walk the line*~
~*We were all right*~
I still can't find out how he forgave me so fast. Then I shut the book thinking all my questions would be answered tomorrow. But now I have to go take Mai to the restaurant.
I ran to my new Camary out of the parking lot and drove straight to Mai's salon were she was very surprised...
"Time to go."
"Go where?"
"You'll see..."
I blind folded her to make it even more romantic... When I got there the worst thing in the world happened.
"Sorry sir but a man has rented out the whole place for the night."
"Who???"
"Seto Kaiba, sir."
"WHAT!?!?! Can I please talk to him? I know him."
"Ok."
He took us to a half bald man and another man with wild black hair ...a little younger then the first one. The bald one was wearing a black suit and the other man was wearing jeans and a striped top.
"Been awhile, Seto."
"You address me as Mr.Ka- Joey???"
"In the flesh."
"That's Seto, then... Who is that other man over there?"
"It's been a while, Mai."
"MOKUBA!! IS IT REALLY YOU?"
"Yup, it's me and my wife."
A tall blonde woman can out from the restroom, and took a seat next to Mokuba. She gave him a kiss.
"Hello."
"So Seto.... What happened to your love life?"
"My brother. A love life... AHAHAHA!"
"I never found the right woman."
"But he has his eye on Miss Mori."
"Mokuba..."
"Oooh, Kaiba has a girlfriend!"
"So what brings you here, doggy-boy? And why is Mai with you?"
"Oh! I would like you to meet Mrs.Wheeler."
"Wow. I never though you would be the second to get married out of the group. I always thought Tristan would make the first move..."
"What? Do you mean someone else in the group got married?"
"Who?"
"You'll find out tomorrow. Come on, Mokuba."
"See you later!"
"See you tomorrow."
As they walked of it hit me. Kabia was... nice. Wow. I think we really rubbed off on him. But still, at the end of the talk, the restaurant was closing and we had to leave.
"Mai, I am so sorry this didn't work out."
"It's ok It was just what I wanted... now let's go home."
"Okay, then I'll make dinner."
"It's okay; I think I should do it."
"Why can't I do it?"
"Because I'm afraid after your last masterpieces. Remember the three bean casserole that you made for me the day I moved in?"
"Oh, yeah. I still don't know how my cell phone got in there...okay, you make dinner."
~*So go on*~
~*And sleep darling*~
~*Why don't you pretend we were just a dream*~
It was finally the day... I stayed up night thinking about what Kabia said about how someone else got married. I wonder who it is... Well we'll find out tonight.
~*its cool baby*~
~*It doesn't matter anyway*~
~*Well I'm so sorry*~
"Mai, again I am so sorry that it didn't work out last night."
"Yes it did."
"I know, but-"
She put her index and middle finger on my lips to silent me. We kissed a long and hard kiss... It was like the first one we shared... Right after Battle City. Yugi was hiding beside a bush, and he took the picture. We were so involved in each other we didn't notice.
~*got to the station a little too late*~
~*such a shame*~
~*just missed the train*~
"Did I miss something?"
"Uhhh... come on, get dressed, we have to go to the station."
After we got married we moved to the south of the island to get closer to my job. So we have to take a train for five hours to get to the hotel were the reunion is at.
"Here we go."
As we got on the train, I wondered if I would recognized anyone. Would any one recognize me? I wondered so much I went to sleep without even noticing.
*~oh why let strangers pass us by*~
*~didn't anyone see we were so damn in love*~
*~and we would've made it on time*~
We're here, at the reunion, but time as took its toll on everyone, and we didn't recognize anyone... Except Kabia, who was talking to a man at his eye level and had the most familiar hair. It was short but it was red tipped and black but as soon as he turned around and I saw those yellow bangs I knew it was him..
"YUGI!!!"
"Huh? Joey??? Is it you? Oh my God, it is you! And...Mai??? Is that you?"
"In the flesh, kiddo. Well, I guess I can't call you 'kiddo' anymore... My, how dashing you look!"
"So, Mai Valentine, what's going on with you?"
"Well, actually, Joey, you want to tell him?"
"May I introduce you to Mai Wheeler?"
"WHAT!?!"
"Yup! We got married!"
"That's great. I thought you two were perfect.. Right after I took that picture."
"Hahaha- Hey!"
"Yugi, where is everyone else?"
"Hello, guys."
I turned my head, and there was a shorter haired Tristan, Tea is a nurse's outfit and Bakura in a suit.
"Guys!!"
"Hey, Joey. Hey, Mai"
"That's Mrs. Wheeler to you."
"You're kidding."
"Nope. Look."
Mai the flashes the 14k wedding ring with three large diamond stones, on the inside of the ring the is words "my heart is in two places, my deck and your hand"
"Wow."
"So, Tea, find any guys yet?"
"Nope. Not a lot of love life in a hospital..."
"Bakura?"
"I do have a friend that I like, but I'm to nervous... Maybe next reunion I'm bring Miss Ryoo, of there is one"
"Tristan?"
"Nope, I am in the same pickle as Bakura."
All of a sudden something happened. Yugi did something he would never do in high school. He made a toast in front of the class...
"To Mai and Joey, a long and great life together."
Then a woman with Egyptian garments came to Yugi's side and latched on to his arm. She nudged him gently.
"Oh, I'm sorry... This is my fiancé... Meet my friends Joey and Mai."
"So, this is why you delayed the wedding."
"What??"
"Well, I couldn't find you any where. I wanted to ask you some thing, and then three days before the wedding, I found the reunion letter and thought it would be perfect."
"What did you what to ask me?"
" If... if you would be my best man."
"Wow. I would be honored."
"Yes!"
Then the woman was very nice, she almost looked like an angel( but I'm not allowed to say that because of Mai) and her voice matches her image, stunning
"Mai, would you be one of my brides maids?... I know that we just met, but Yugi has told me all the adventures you have gone on and it's as if I have known you forever."
"Okay! It would be nice to fine out how you two met. And how you grew so tall!"
"And how Kabia got a bald spot!"
*~Yeah~* *~Yeah~* *~Yeah~*
Every one laughed and let down their guard for the shortest time... For once we were all together again. No evil people after us, or sprits, or destinies to worry about for the first time in fourteen years... Everyone was acting like the last day before the Millennium Puzzle was put together. Only Yugi had a girl, I was married to Mai, Kabia wasn't calling me a dog and was being nice to us and we all had jobs. But at that time nothing mattered. We were all together again... until-
A drunken girl approached me and said.
"Joey, give me a kiss baby. You said I could have on, so give it!"
"Uh??"
"You said you would marry me the night of graduation."
"What?!"
"Mai, I-I can explain-"
"No I will darling. He asked he to marry him that night."
"I did not!"
"Joey, how could you?"
I saw her run out the door as I followed. The girl tried to stop me, but I smacked her in the face. Then I found Mai right outside the hotel. Then she stopped right in the middle of the street.
"Mai get out of there!"
She didn't know she was in the road.
"No! Why did you marry me?"
Then she pulled out a deck of cards... My deck. I used to carry it around everywhere... but now... I also lost it.
"Because I love you!"
"Does this mean anything to you anymore?" ---what?
She extended her hand and then tossed me my old dueling deck that she found in the car that was parked in front of her. Then she pulled out her dueling deck with her cards all ready...
"Joey, duel me."
"But- Mai watch out!"
The next part was a blur. There was a speeding car, sirens, screaming... crying, and blood... thick, ruthless blood... I just stood there in denial as if I wasn't here... I was seeing in her, myself dying. Yugi was the first to see her. He ran straight to me.
"Joey!! JOEY!! MAI is on the GROUND!!!! JOEY!!!"
I said nothing I stood there, dilated pupils, waiting to be woken up form this bad dream. But I knew the truth. She was dead.
"Jo..ey..."
"Mai!"
"You.."
Then she went into a long sleep, asleep she would never awake from I thought. The ambulance arrived and took her away. Yugi pulled up in his car and gave me a ride to the hospital. Everyone was at the hospital. Everyone who was in that building a half an hour ago was suddenly giving me their best wishes that Mai would recover... Then the nurse came out.
"Mr. Wheeler???"
"Yes?"
"You might want to come here for a minute."
When a nurse says that, it's never good news.
"I am very sorry Mr. Wheeler. She has lost too much blood... We can't do any more then what we have... If you wish you may see her."
" No..no...NOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
I cried so much I couldn't see through my tears I just ran and ran I didn't care who was in my way I just ran. I found myself at her bedside. There was a slow heart beat. The blood was washed off and you could see the large scars that were her arms and head... I knelt down and started to cry on her body and slowly I felt it getting colder and colder until the only sound in the room as the one lined beep of the heart monitor... She was gone. And worse, she died thinking I had betrayed her. That is no way for a person to die. Then I felt a comforting hand on my shoulder.
"Yu..gi... She's... gone."
"I know."
There was something different about Yugi ever since Yami went on and our adventure ended Yugi has acted differently. He has a powerful aura around him that gives fear to enemies and power to friends. Like what Yami use to give Yugi.
After everyone had left I was there all alone looking at her. I brushed her hair out for her face, and then pulled something Yugi had slipped into my pocket. It was my deck. I looked through it. The cards all were okay, except for my Red Eyes Black Dragon. It was smeared with blood. I remembered that, without the duel with Rex Mai had made Mai would have never been our friend. This card... This card is what bound us together.
"Here Mai. I what you to have this."
And slowly I gave her the card. Then a felt another strong presence. A familiar one.
"Hello, Joey."
"Yami??"
It really was Yami, only he was in Egyptian attire and had a heavenly glow to him.
"It really was a tragedy that Mai had to die with a broken heart. No one should end up like that."
"I know."
"And that is why I'm giving you a second chance."
"What??"
"You heard me. You are going to get the last three days to live again to show Mai that you truly love her. You will remember everything but everyone else will not. But, on the third day she will die at the same time and at the same place as before."
"No, there must be a way to let her stay with me!"
"There is a gift you can give her. That only you can give her. If you can give this gift, she will live."
"This is crazy. I do respect you, Yami, but this is insane."
"You'll see. Now, time to go to bed."
And just like that I started to close my eyes, and fell asleep not knowing what would happen next.

We're here, at the reunion, but time as took its toll on everyone, and we didn't recognize anyone... Except Kabia, who was talking to a man at his eye level and had the most familiar hair. It was short but it was red tipped and black but as soon as he turned around and I saw those yellow bangs I knew it was him..
"YUGI!!!"
"Huh? Joey??? Is it you? Oh my God, it is you! And...Mai??? Is that you?"
"In the flesh, kiddo. Well, I guess I can't call you 'kiddo' anymore... My, how dashing you look!"
"So, Mai Valentine, what's going on with you?"
"Well, actually, Joey, you want to tell him?"
"May I introduce you to Mai Wheeler?"
"WHAT!?!"
"Yup! We got married!"
"That's great. I thought you two were perfect.. Right after I took that picture."
"Hahaha- Hey!"
"Yugi, where is everyone else?"
"Hello, guys."
I turned my head, and there was a shorter haired Tristan, Tea is a nurse's outfit and Bakura in a suit.
"Guys!!"
"Hey, Joey. Hey, Mai"
"That's Mrs. Wheeler to you."
"You're kidding."
"Nope. Look."
Mai the flashes the 14k wedding ring with three large diamond stones, on the inside of the ring the is words "my heart is in two places, my deck and your hand"
"Wow."
"So, Tea, find any guys yet?"
"Nope. Not a lot of love life in a hospital..."
"Bakura?"
"I do have a friend that I like, but I'm to nervous... Maybe next reunion I'm bring Miss Ryoo, of there is one"
"Tristan?"
"Nope, I am in the same pickle as Bakura."
All of a sudden something happened. Yugi did something he would never do in high school. He made a toast in front of the class...
"To Mai and Joey, a long and great life together."
Then a woman with Egyptian garments came to Yugi's side and latched on to his arm. She nudged him gently.
"Oh, I'm sorry... This is my fiancé... Meet my friends Joey and Mai."
"So, this is why you delayed the wedding."
"What??"
"Well, I couldn't find you any where. I wanted to ask you some thing, and then three days before the wedding, I found the reunion letter and thought it would be perfect."
"What did you what to ask me?"
" If... if you would be my best man."
"Wow. I would be honored."
"Yes!"
Then the woman was very nice, she almost looked like an angel( but I'm not allowed to say that because of Mai) and her voice matches her image, stunning
"Mai, would you be one of my brides maids?... I know that we just met, but Yugi has told me all the adventures you have gone on and it's as if I have known you forever."
"Okay! It would be nice to fine out how you two met. And how you grew so tall!"
"And how Kabia got a bald spot!"
*~Yeah~* *~Yeah~* *~Yeah~*
Every one laughed and let down their guard for the shortest time... For once we were all together again. No evil people after us, or sprits, or destinies to worry about for the first time in fourteen years... Everyone was acting like the last day before the Millennium Puzzle was put together. Only Yugi had a girl, I was married to Mai, Kabia wasn't calling me a dog and was being nice to us and we all had jobs. But at that time nothing mattered. We were all together again... until-
A drunken girl approached me and said.
"Joey, give me a kiss baby. You said I could have on, so give it!"
"Uh??"
"You said you would marry me the night of graduation."
"What?!"
"Mai, I-I can explain-"
"No I will darling. He asked he to marry him that night."
"I did not!"
"Joey, how could you?"
I saw her run out the door as I followed. The girl tried to stop me, but I smacked her in the face. Then I found Mai right outside the hotel. Then she stopped right in the middle of the street.
"Mai get out of there!"
She didn't know she was in the road.
"No! Why did you marry me?"
Then she pulled out a deck of cards... My deck. I used to carry it around everywhere... but now... I also lost it.
"Because I love you!"
"Does this mean anything to you anymore?" ---what?
She extended her hand and then tossed me my old dueling deck that she found in the car that was parked in front of her. Then she pulled out her dueling deck with her cards all ready...
"Joey, duel me."
"But- Mai watch out!"
The next part was a blur. There was a speeding car, sirens, screaming... crying, and blood... thick, ruthless blood... I just stood there in denial as if I wasn't here... I was seeing in her, myself dying. Yugi was the first to see her. He ran straight to me.
"Joey!! JOEY!! MAI is on the GROUND!!!! JOEY!!!"
I said nothing I stood there, dilated pupils, waiting to be woken up form this bad dream. But I knew the truth. She was dead.
"Jo..ey..."
"Mai!"
"You.."
Then she went into a long sleep, asleep she would never awake from I thought. The ambulance arrived and took her away. Yugi pulled up in his car and gave me a ride to the hospital. Everyone was at the hospital. Everyone who was in that building a half an hour ago was suddenly giving me their best wishes that Mai would recover... Then the nurse came out.
"Mr. Wheeler???"
"Yes?"
"You might want to come here for a minute."
When a nurse says that, it's never good news.
"I am very sorry Mr. Wheeler. She has lost too much blood... We can't do any more then what we have... If you wish you may see her."
" No..no...NOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
I cried so much I couldn't see through my tears I just ran and ran I didn't care who was in my way I just ran. I found myself at her bedside. There was a slow heart beat. The blood was washed off and you could see the large scars that were her arms and head... I knelt down and started to cry on her body and slowly I felt it getting colder and colder until the only sound in the room as the one lined beep of the heart monitor... She was gone. And worse, she died thinking I had betrayed her. That is no way for a person to die. Then I felt a comforting hand on my shoulder.
"Yu..gi... She's... gone."
"I know."
There was something different about Yugi ever since Yami went on and our adventure ended Yugi has acted differently. He has a powerful aura around him that gives fear to enemies and power to friends. Like what Yami use to give Yugi.
After everyone had left I was there all alone looking at her. I brushed her hair out for her face, and then pulled something Yugi had slipped into my pocket. It was my deck. I looked through it. The cards all were okay, except for my Red Eyes Black Dragon. It was smeared with blood. I remembered that, without the duel with Rex Mai had made Mai would have never been our friend. This card... This card is what bound us together.
"Here Mai. I what you to have this."
And slowly I gave her the card. Then a felt another strong presence. A familiar one.
"Hello, Joey."
"Yami??"
It really was Yami, only he was in Egyptian attire and had a heavenly glow to him.
"It really was a tragedy that Mai had to die with a broken heart. No one should end up like that."
"I know."
"And that is why I'm giving you a second chance."
"What??"
"You heard me. You are going to get the last three days to live again to show Mai that you truly love her. You will remember everything but everyone else will not. But, on the third day she will die at the same time and at the same place as before."
"No, there must be a way to let her stay with me!"
"There is a gift you can give her. That only you can give her. If you can give this gift, she will live."
"This is crazy. I do respect you, Yami, but this is insane."
"You'll see. Now, time to go to bed."
And just like that I started to close my eyes, and fell asleep not knowing what would happen next.
