Chapter 2
Hey, I forgot the disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh, Kazuki Takahashi does. This story is MINE and not yours. Finders keepers does not count, k? ^_~ The character Jasmine is mine too. (Warning: mild drinking)
He stepped out and dried himself off while he went on with his memory. It was so embarrassing just to think about it, the whole incident, but he needed to remember what went wrong there...
~ On the way to the hotel, Mai went on about her fabulously rich cousin.
"She suddenly came into an inheritance. It was quite strange, though, she had a boyfriend at the time. He was like one of those Harley guys who like a lot of money. It's creepy, he carries a gun. Anyway, he's so disgusting-- it's like he never takes a shower."
A big sweatdrop appeared on his head. So typical...
"Well, anyway, let's have a good time." she said.
He said nothing and nodded his head. And the whole ride from then consisted of Mai telling Joey how to act in front of her family. After a 30-minute drive, which was painfully long, they arrived to the hotel. It was flooded with cars and cabs. They were the only ones with a limo.
"Hmm, I see that I'm Jasmine's favorite." as she scanned the scene.
"I'd be lucky if I could get even one of these cars. Does every person in your family have a fortune in their bank?" he asked.
"Look around--most of the cars are chauffeured. It's obvious, isn't it? Come on, let's go!"~
He put on his clothes and combed his hair. He kept on trying to recall what happened, but everything was fuzzy and distorted.
~They walked inside, hand-in-hand. Inside was amazing: there was red carpet on the walls and the floor was marble. Chandeliers were hanging everywhere and you couldn't walk 5 feet without seeing a finely sculpted statue. The he saw something really beautiful: a girl with short black hair was walking to Mai.
"Jasmine! How are doing? You look great!" Her cousin was in a satin dress with glitter and sequins. It was like Mai's dress, except it was pink.
"You don't look so bad yourself, cousin. So, who's the cutie next to you?" Joey's face turned a bright scarlet. 'Heh, my first compliment from her family!' he thought.
"He's my boyfriend, Joey Wheeler. He's absolutely wonderful, don't you think?"
"Well, I'll have to see for myself, right? Say, Joey, why don't you meet the rest of the family?" He turned red again.
"Uh, sure! Whatever you say!" He walked off.
"Hey, Mai, I forgot to tell you something. Don't drink the punch."
She looked puzzled. "Why?" Jasmine just looked at her.
"Because, the punch has grain alcohol in it. You can't taste it, though. I should have told you sooner, you and Joey being 17 and all..." An old man walked past them.
"Reeves! Can you do me a favor? Please inform the young man in the blue suit to not drink the punch, ok?" The old man nodded. He was obviously the butler.
"I think your boyfriend will be just fine."
The butler stumbled around to look for Joey: the place was crawling with different men in blue suits. Then he noticed something quite different. 'Hmm, no cologne, messy hair--must be him.'
"Umm, excuse me?"
"Huh?" Joey was stuffing his mouth with hors d'oeuvres.
"Please do not drink the punch, since you are only 17."
"Umm, ok." Huh, he didn't even know the punch was there. "Maybe just one cup wouldn't hurt..." He took a sip. "Hmm, this is good. Maybe one more..."
-Somewhat 4 odd cups later-
"So, I said to him, 'You're not the one to tell me what to do you dork.'" His words were very unclear and jagged.
The person he was talking to gasped. "And that was your FATHER? Dear, young man, have some respect!" He walked off in disgust.
"Well, I don't need--" A hush fell over the crowd followed by a scream. He had vomited on the floor.
Jasmine went over to the scene immediately. "Ugh, that marble was $100 expensive. Well, nothing I can't fix." Mai was really ticked at Joey. For embarrassing her in front of her family. For proving that she was a woman with bad taste for men.
'And I thought that Jasmine's boyfriend was bad...' she thought to herself.
"Jasmine, I'm sorry..."
"It's alright Mai. Stuff Happens. You and him can always come here-- when Joey has his boundaries."
"Can- may I borrow a car?" she asked. "Sure, just be careful."
'ARRGGH! He is going to get it when we get back.'
-Later-
"Huh? What did I do?" he asked.
"What did you DO? You completely ruined my life! Jasmine is one of the most important people in my family and you threw up on her floor. Lucky it was marble. Then it wasn't so hard to clean!"
"Listen, Mai--"
"LISTEN!? The butler told you to not drink the punch, NOT, and still, you did! How can I listen to you when you can't do the same?! I can never trust you again!"
"Mai-"
"It's over, Joey. Goodbye." She walked out the door.~
"Now I remember." He looked at the clock. It was 8:00 now. "Oh my God! The date!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Z&S: Ack. the whole chapter was mostly a memory.eek
Joey: You made me drink! How could you?
Z&S: Because I'm the author?
Joey: Oh yes, mighty queen.
Z&S: Was that sarcastic? *Gigantic glare in her eyes*
Joey: *really nervous* Heh, no, really.. please don't hurt me.
Z&S: Sorry about this chapter. I needed to complete the memory, right? BTW: Things get happier. And interesting. VERY interesting.
Joey: THAT CAN'T BE GOOD! SOMEONE SAVE MEEEEEE!
Z&S: Who would? After all, they want to know what comes next, right? ^_~
