HI ALL! This is my attempt at making three things happen.

One: Make Joey's accent show up.

Two: Write a first person story.

Three: Try my hand at a semi-romance fanfiction!

AND NOW….the person whose point of view this story is in will now say a disclaimer!

Serenity: Hikari of the Moon does not own Yu-gi-oh, Yu-gi-oh! Waking the Dragons OR Yu-gi-oh! GX. She owns…herself, her yami, the plot of this fanfiction, and 39 cents.

Hikari: Hey, HEY! …It's 40 cents.

Dedicated to the first 25 reviewers of Yami Imitations and Other Ways to Get Out of Class


"I love you, Serenity."

"I...I...I love you too!" I flung myself at him and touched my lips to his. As we kissed, I melted into his arms. It would've gone on much longer, forever maybe, if we didn't need to breathe. I stared into his eyes, a thick blush forming on my cheeks.

He stepped back and stuttered, "G-Good night, Serenity." He turned, got into his car, and with one last look at me, drove off. I sighed dreamily and backed up into the door. I fumbled with the key before I got it in. After turning the lock, I opened the door and stepped in.

"Serenity! Do you know what time it is!" yelled Joey. My big brother was a bit…paranoid when it came to me dating.

"I know. It's 10:10, which is 20 minutes before my curfew!" I retaliated and held up my arm to show him I hadn't forgotten my watch.

"Oh, yeah," He said, "well, ya still're late." Tristan and Yugi were over for a 'sleep-over'. Their last 'sleep-over' had dueling, girls, beer, and one very angry gopher. I'm still going through therapy. Tristan eyed me over, he'd tried to flirt with me during Battle City, and he still tried to.

"Where were ya anyways, Seren'?" Tristan asked his speak slightly slurred.

"I was out." I retorted defensively.

"You were on a date, weren't you?" Yugi asked that. He's nice, but way to innocent for his own good.

"Oh no, Yugi, I wasn't. I was out playing with my dollies!" I replied. Yugi blinked and obviously didn't get the sarcasm. Big brother elbowed Yugi and whispered something, most likely telling him I was being sarcastic. Yugi raised an eyebrow, Joey nodded, and Yugi squirmed, embarrassed at not getting it at first.

"So, who was the lucky guy tonight?"

Tristan spit his drink out in shock. "Joey, you're her big brother! And you don't know who she's going out with?"
"Nah," Joey said, "I trust her judgment that much. So who was it, sis?"

"Seto Kaiba." I quickly and quietly said. Now it was Joey's turn to spit out his drink.

"WHAT! DID YOU JUST SAY YOU WENT OUT WITH RICH BOY!" He screamed at the top of his lungs. Then he…chuckled? Yeah…he laughed. Yugi raised an eyebrow and shook Joey by the shoulders.

"Joey…Joey, what's wrong?" Yugi asked, the worry easy to detect in his voice.

"She couldn't of said Kaiba! That wouldn't be possible!" Joey said with a laugh.

"Oh…it's possible, Joey." I said some-what nervous. First Tristan stared at me with disbelieving eyes. Then it sunk into Yugi and he whipped around to face me, also not believing. Finally, my brother stopped laughing and it hit him like two tons of bricks.

"WHAT! DID YOU JUST COMFIRM YOU WENT OUT WITH KAIBA!" He shrieked.

"I dink dat she did!" Tristan said, his nose having been hit by Joey's failing fist.

"OF COURSE SHE DID!" Joey announced. Yugi tugged on Joey's sleeve, his soft puppy dog eyes showing why Yami let him eat two quarts ice cream after bedtime.

"Come on, Joey!" Yugi whined, "Serenity should be able to date who she wants!" Of course, the moment after that, the slightly-bleeding Tristan began to mock me.

"Ooooooh! Setooooo!" He said in a high-pitched voice. "Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me!" He then grabbed a throw pillow and pretended to make-out with it. Joey and Yugi couldn't stop themselves and they started to laugh. I couldn't understand why they were making such a big deal out of this. I started to cry and I ran up to my room. Once I got there, I locked the door, and threw myself on the bed. I grabbed some pillows to drown out the sound of my brother and his friends' laughter and cried out into the bedspread.

(Scene Change)

I cried for what seemed like forever, although when I look back, it was only about 5 minutes. I heard a knock on my door and a voice.

"Serenity? Serenity, what's wrong?"

"I don't want to talk to you, brother!" I yelled to the door and the one behind it.

"That's okay, I'll just talk." He started, "I'm sorry Tristan started mocking you like dat. I'm also sorry there's a lasting shrine to this day." I looked up from the bed and stared confused at the door. Joey just sniggered. "Did I forget to say dat that little grey pillow ain't grey anymore?" I emitted a small laugh, but it was lost in the pillow I was smothering myself with. "Anyways, I'm sorry we started laughin' at cha. We shouldn't mock your choice in guys. Now your choice in girls, we'd mock dat." I laughed a lot at that, enough that the sound got through the pillows and out the door. "That's the stuff! Now, could ja come out? Please sis? Pleas-"

I had been moving as he talked. I got to the door, opened it, and tackled my brother, giggling as I did the last bit. He smiled and we started to walk downstairs.

"But really sis, why Kaiba?"

"Well, really bro, why Mai?"

Joey almost fell down the stairs. In fact, he did fall down the stairs. "Well, because she's hot, and nice, and hot, and sweet, and hot, and good at dueling, and hot, and-"

I started giggling out of control. "Joey," I said between laughter, "you called her hot four times!"

"So?"

"So, there's more to a relationship than hotness!" I instructed.

"Not to a guy!" Joey retaliated.

"Not to any guy but Seto, you mean." I corrected.

"What do you even see in Moneybags!" Tristan asked from the living room.

I glared at him and snapped, "More than I see in you, you little-"

Yugi yelled, "Hey! HEY! Let's all calm down. Joey, let Serenity date Seto."

"But-But-" Joey started, but Yugi came over to him and whispered something in my brother's ear. It pleased Joey, and he said, "Ok, ok, you can date him."

I knew I already I could date him, but having my big brother's permission made me feel better about it. "Thank you, big brother!" I squealed and threw my arms around him in fake gratitude.

"Now," Yugi said, "could you go sleep-over at someone else's house? I don't think you want to be at that therapist's any longer than you have to!"

I smiled, well it was really more of a smirk, and exclaimed, "I'll call Mai!"

"You aren't gonna tell her what I said, are you?" asked Joey. I just walked to the phone and dialed her number. "Are you?" I finally got Mai on the phone. "YOU ARE, AREN'T YOU! I'M NOT LETTING YOU-"

"Hun, is that Joey I'm hearing behind you?"

"Yeah. He's the reason I called. Can I sleep-over there?" I asked Mai.

"Sure, but what's he not letting you do?" She questioned.

I laughed and said, "I'll tell you all about it when I get over there."

"Serenity. Serenity, you can't!" But by the time that was said, I was halfway out the door and skipping to Mai's house. Oh boy, would I have fun tonight!
