A Triple-Date Disaster
-Part 1-
~ Phone Conversation ~
"Hello?" a familiar voice answers "Hey Mai, it's me Joey. Well...how would you like to go to dinner tonight?" Joey shivers with fear, waiting for an answer. "Sure, sounds good" replies Mai. "Oh wow! Really? Awesome! I guess I'll see you there then. Bye" "Cya Blondie"
Mai thinks about what she just talked about. "What to wear." She finally chooses a short jean skirt and a nice shirt, minus the arm warmers.
At Joey's house, he jumps up and down. "I can't believe she said yes!" He falls back onto his bed. Then a similar thought comes to mind of what to wear. He decides on one of the few t-shirts that haven't faded and a nice pair of jeans he was saving for just such an occasion.
~ At the restaurant ~
Mai arrives at the fancy place she had written down earlier. Joey is standing near the door, looking back and forth for Mai's car. He eyes stop and widen when he sees her. 'Whoa.' he says in thought. Mai gives that trademark wink. To her surprise, Joey takes hold of her hand and kisses it. He then looks into her eyes and the two stare momentarily. Joey then realizes what's going on and turns slightly red. Mai also looks embarrassed and they walk inside.
Once seated at the table, Joey orders a plate of tacos and Mai, a salad. Joey starts chowing down then immediately stops realizing he'd been making an idiot of himself. He glanced over at Mai, who'd been picking mushrooms out of her salad the whole time, and breathed a sigh of relief. Mai looks up, seeing Joey's calmed face watching her. "I've never been too fond of mushrooms," she said with a look of disgust. "Yeah, I'm not too fond of them either" remarked Joey.
As Joey took another bite, he felt some hot sauce drip onto his shirt. He groaned and tried his best in wiping it off. "Here let me help," Mai said as she lean across the table. Joey leaned closer so she could reach. He glanced up as she wiped the stain from his shirt and realized their noses were only inches apart. A nervous shiver went down his spine. As Mai leaned back into her seat, Joey glanced at his shirt, and seeing that it was clean, thanked her. "Yeah, no problem" she said with a smile
Just then a squeaky voice could be heard from the front of the restaurant. "Reservation for Yugi Mutou." Joey looked towards the direction of the voice and saw that it was indeed Yugi standing there.accompanied by Tea. Joey ducked and rushed in the direction of the bathroom. "I'll be right back Mai!" For some reason he felt his best friend didn't need to know he and Mai were practically going out. "Where are you going Joey?!" Mai shouted after him. The she heard what sounded like Tea. She looked around and saw the same sight Joey had, Yugi and Tea were at the restaurant too.
'What's the problem with Joey? Why did he run off when he saw Yugi and Tea coming?' she thought to her self. Jus then Tea noticed Mai. "Hey Mai! Are you here by yourself?" Tea said as she made her way through the crowd. "Nah, I'm here with Joey but for some reason he ran off when he saw you two coming." She said with a puzzled look on her face. "That's weird" Yugi said as he reached Tea's side, "Where did he go to?" "I think he ran off to the bathroom" replied Mai "Ok maybe I can go talk some sense into him," said a puzzled Yugi
~ In the bathroom ~ "Hey Joey, you in here?" For a moment it was quiet and then a stall unlocked at the end. "Yeah, I'm here. Did Mai say I was here?"said Joey as he peeked out. "Yes, she said you took off when you saw me and Tea coming. Why?" "I dunno. Everyone thinks me and Mai are just friends but when I finally asked her out I thought everyone would think it's weird and. I dunno I guess I'm not sure myself." Joey trailed off "Aw, come on Joey, that's nothing to be ashamed of. Come on out, Mai's waiting for you." Yugi said with a smile. At Mai's name, Joey turned slightly red and Yugi laughed. The two walked back to their dates, Joey feeling a little more confident.
When he got back to the table, Mai couldn't help but make a friendly joke. "You were in there for quite a while, did you fall in?" she smiled Joey looked embarrassed for a minute and then said "Of course not!" "Chill Joey, I was just kidding. Sorry about that" said Mai, a little surprised. "Hehe I knew that. I was just practicing for a play" 'What play?' said Mai in thought "If you say so" she said aloud. "I guess we better eat before our food gets cold," said Tea. Everyone turned to look at the usually quiet Tea and nodded. Just as the crew got back to their tables, which just happened to be next to each other, another familiar voice jogged their minds.
"Who might you be?" the worker at the restaurant asked. "Tristan Taylor" "And Serenity Wheeler," Serenity chimed in. "And I'm Duke Devlin. I'll take it from here" he said as he took Serenity's hand. "Get the heck out of here, Duke! You know as well as I do that she likes me not you!" Tristan yelled at Duke He grabbed Duke by the back of his shirt and pushed him out the door. Duke swore under his breath, flicked one off his many dice at Tristan's forehead and sulked out. "You haven't seen the last of me." was the last thing he said before Tristan slammed the door. Serenity stood and stared with her mouth slightly open. When she realized Tristan was watching, she closed her mouth and waited for an explanation. "Sorry Serenity, I just had to get rid of that guy." Tristan said quietly. Serenity nodded and said 'All right then' in thought. Tristan rubbed the bruise Duke's dice had made and turned back to the restaurant worker, who stared dully as if nothing had happened.
Jus then a handful of voices caught Serenity's attention. She looked towards where Yugi and the others were sitting. "Hey Mai! Tea!" she rushed over to talk to her friends. "Come on Tristan!" She pulled Tristan over to where they were sitting and he pulled up a chair. "Oh hey Tristan!" said Yugi "What a surprise seeing you two here." said Mai, "It's not very often a group of friends ends up at the same restaurant, let alone on the same day." "Yeah really" Joey said as he realized what Mai said. "Do you mind if we join you guys?" asked Tristan "Sure pull up a table!" Yugi said with a smile.
By now, Joey felt a little uncomfortable. He had hoped his date with Mai would be just the two of them. With all his friends surrounding him, he couldn't possibly have the romantic ate he dreamed of. 'Oh well, might as well make the best of it.' He thought to himself.
The three couples were now sitting at three tables lined up. They were chatting and eating like normal friends do. Everything was going great when the door burst open and in steppe, yes you guessed it, Marik, accompanied by Myra, a girl with long blonde hair, which was tied up in a high ponytail.
"Here comes the freak show." was the first thing to come out of Mai's mouth. "That can't be good." Joey said nervously "What do we do now?" he asked Yugi. "Well I know what I'm doing but I need you and Tristan to make a distraction." "Ok, you got it, Yugi!" Joey said as he snuck towards Tristan.
Yugi focused on his Millennium Puzzle and it the eye on it glowed a bright golden color. When the glow cleared, a much more confident figure stood there, Yami Yugi.
Meanwhile, Joey told Tristan his idea and looked towards Yami. Yami nodded, meaning to put the distraction into action.
Joey in turn looked towards Tristan and nodded. "Hey Marik! Over here!" shouted Joey. Marik looked towards the source of his frustration. "Go!" whispered Joey, and he and Tristan grabbed a handful of meatballs from a nearby plate, and flung them at Marik. Marik only laughed and swung his Millennium Rod at the meatballs. However he wasn't laughing anymore when the meatballs splattered all over him. Instead he just got madder (Pause.Time to introduce my character to the scene) "Should I get rid of them, Marik?"asked Myra. "Yes, they are testing my patience." Said Marik as he looked for Yami.
Myra snuck around the edges of the restaurant, to the dismay of many customers. She crept into a booth near where Joey and Tristan where kneeling under a table When the time was right, she jumped out and grabbed hold of first Joey, then Tristan. The boys were so surprised that they didn't have time to fight back. Myra tied their hands behind their backs and pushed them into some nearby chairs. To finish it, she tied their legs to the chairs. She then returned to Marik's side and waited for further instructions.
*END OF PART 1* Leave a nice review and go on to Part 2!
(What do you think of Myra? Now there's some girl power. Sorry I made Joey and Tristan so weak, it was just the first thing I thought of and it goes with the rest of the story.)
