Sorry for the long delay, I've been soooooo busy lately, that when I came back to the story, I couldn't remember what exactly I wanted to happen next.; Thanks to Zindakku Hirokai & kusanagisan for your reviews!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters. If I did I wouldn't be so broke. :)

Chapter 2: Mai, oh my?

"Hello, Shiranui-Bogard residence," a sweet voice answered, stressing the two last names.

"Don't answer the phone that way," Terry's voice asked in the background, while Joe's echoed loudly shouting "I live here too! And you ain't even married!!!"

"Shut up, Higashi," the girl spat back.

"Mai?"

"Oh! Hey Yuri, what's up?"

"Say, are you busy tonight? I've got something I need to talk to you about."

"Oh, really? Having problems with Robert? I'd knew you'd come to the queen of love advice for something someday," she said half mockingly.

"Like whatever Mai, you are one of the LAST people on earth I'd come to for advice on relationships," Yuri replied. She could hear Mai snort at her response. "So are you busy or not?"

"No, I'm not."

"Alright! Meet me at the Illusion after it closes."

"That late?"

"Yeah, that late; just be there, kay? I really need your help."

"Uh, okay."

"Bye now!!!"

"Bye," and with that Yuri hung up. "Hmm," Mai thought to herself, "wonder what she needs?"

"You need to go out and get a life," Joe said to her, digging around in the refrigerator.

"You need to take your funky ass in the shower and give it a good washing" she shot back, in which afterwards, Joe closed the door to the refrigerator, and mooned her.

"Yeah, well you know you love my funky ass," he said shaking his butt around in the air. Mai's scream was probably heard throughout Southtown. Terry just sighed as Mai began to proceed in beating Joe to a pulp, but not before pulling his pants back up.

"I see why Andy needs all this 'training'" Terry mumbled to himself.

At La Illusion

"Yuri, how many times do I have to tell you that this phone is not for personal calls," King scolded hands on her hips, "What if someone important is trying to call?"

"Aww, I would use my cell phone, but there's no reception in this place!" King raised her eyebrow at her. "Okay, I ran outta minutes! It was for a good cause!"

"Sure, sure…. You know I bet the reason your family has money issues is because your cell phone bill," King chuckled. Yuri stuck her tongue out in response. "Who were you calling?"

"Mai." Yuri glanced to see what her future sister-in-law's facial expression was—not so great. King raised her hand to her head. It seems like she'll be investing a lot of money on aspirin for a while. "I-I know what you're thinking, but Mai would be a great help! The woman has been planning her own wedding since she was seven! Seven, King! She's got to know EVERYTHING it takes to get it all done and what not! I mean, c'mon, you trust me right? Right?"

"Do I really have a choice?" she answered wearily.

"That's the spirit!!!"

Wooohoooo! Poor King. She'll be alright in the end though… I think.
