K: Nope. Still doesn't own it. And she makes nothing off of these weird stories except fans. Woohoo.

"Well, we did our good deed for the day." Joey said with a laugh as he and Tristin watched Marik follow the manager into his office.

"And what would that good deed be, exactly?" a familiar voice asked from right behind them. Joey turned around to see none other than Yami standing there, with Yugi right next to him.

"Oh, hey Yami. Didn't see you there." Joey said with a nervous laugh.

"What was the 'good deed' Joey?" Yami asked again.

"Helping a kid find what they were looking for of course." Joey said, hoping that Yami hadn't seen what had just happened. Their relationship was on a very thin string as is, and the slightest temper change in Yami could cause that string to break.

"So, this is your favorite game to play. Am I right?" Yami asked.

"Yeah." Joey said before catching what he had just said.

"What did you think you were doing? You promised me that you would not start problems with anyone anymore. You swore to me that you would change. That I didn't have to worry about bailing you out of trouble every two seconds. And why do you insist on trying to ruin his life? It's not like he ruined yours. In a way, it's my fault because I ruined his by the whole memory tattoo thing on his back. Even after all that happened, you said that you forgave him. And here you are, getting him fired from his job." Yami paused at that moment, before shaking his looking from Joey, shaking his head a few times, and walking off.

"I…I…" Joey stuttered as he watched Yami walk away, followed closely by Yugi.

"Yami?" Yugi asked before pulling on Yami's sleeve, urging him to stop and look at him. "Yami, please talk to me."

"I can't take it anymore." he told him as he hung his head.

"Can't take what?" Yugi asked before Tea walked up.

"Joey can be such a jerk!" Tea snapped, having to get her two cents in before someone else got to say it first.

"He's a really nice guy. He just doesn't know how to be nice to those who were mean to him." Yugi said, trying his best to defend him.

"Yugi, you don't need to defend him." Yami said.

"If Joey would have just learned from his experience with Kaiba that day a little while ago, he wouldn't have much of a problem with anyone. But noooooo… he has to go off and get the shit knocked out of him again by a different person." Tea went on.

"That's Joey for you I guess." Yugi said with a sigh.

"Yami, can we talk?" Joey asked as he walked up to him.

K: Eat donuts. Lots and lots of donuts.

M: What does that have to do with the story?

K: No one said I had to say anything about the story.

M: And remember kids, spear Yami when you see her.
