Chapter 3 : Competition and Regrets

In the gym

general POV

Everybody was gathering in the gym. Mr. Motou agreed to set up the gym especially for the contest. Everybody was betting who will win.

"Mai and Joey will definitely win!"
"No! I've heard that Joey is a puppy dog! He's a total chicken!"
"Yeah right! How can you believe Kaiba?! He just sits there like a stone!"
"hehe... how can Anzu even like that creature?"
"For your information... he's a human being just like us.. except the fact that he likes giga-bytes in his head!! haha!! Remember that time in the forest when he was going psycho?! I overheard him talking to Anzu about that!"
"Yah.. that was sooo funny!"

Mr. Motou: "May I have your attention please, ladies and gents? The contest between Mai Valentine + Joey Wheeler and Anzu ... um...sorry I forgot your last name... and Seto Kaiba (hehe) will commence in a matter of minutes. May the best couple win!"

On the Stage

Kaiba: "Are you soo sure about this, Anzu?"

Anzu: "Of course! We both love each other very much! We'll show them! We'll definitely win!"

Mai: "Soo... gonna chicken out of not?" *sees Kaiba sweat like crazy*

Joey: "Hey! Let's put a twist to this! The loser lets the winner randomly pick one card from the loser's decks.. without looking at them! And the winner will get the choice of giving any card in their decks in exchange! Deal?!"

Kaiba: "You got one!"

Mai: "What are you all waiting for? Let's start already!"

Anzu: "Eager to lose, aren't we? Well.. better early than late. The whole school is waiting for us!"

general POV

The students were all excited. The head cheerleader and her assistant is putting on a challenge. You know, even though they may be captain and advisor, they absolutely loathe each other. The whole student body has heard sooo much of their arguments. Here's a couple excerpts from them... : "I can't believe that you're actually captain! All you do is count 1,2,3!!!" screamed Anzu. ~*~ "I can't believe that the other cheerleaders actually voted you as assistant," Mai stated. "You suck." XP .... (and of course... the list goes on...)

Anzu + Kaiba and Mai + Joey started kissing... -_-0 ... Wanna see what they are like?

Anzu and Kaiba == Yes... Kaiba is still blushing like madly. He's clutching his dueling deck tightly, like someone was going to take it away from him or something. Sad sad... Well, he's still kissing her, except the fact that he's still sweating like badly. If you didn't know Kaiba well, you would think that he's a computer freak who only cares about computers. If you get to know him better, the 2 people he actually cares about are Mokuba (his little bro) and Anzu (his girl). Actually, you may think that he's hot... hahahaha .... hehe... ^_^ On the other hand, Anzu is very into this competition. Nothing will get in her way to get to victory! She's kissing poor Kaiba so hard.. it seems that he's turning blue! Yes.. his lack of oxygen is rising.. just hope that he doesn't die from a lack of air. If so... that would be a very sad story and Anzu would be arrested! Yes.. Mr. Motou would call 911 since Anzu was killing her boyfriend from kissing too hard. Obviously, they would never believe Yugi's grandpa. Eh well..

Mai and Joey == Mai's arms were wrapped around Joey's neck and his arms are around her waist. They were kissing passionately, but not aggressively.. unlike the other couple *cough* NOT MENTIONING ANYNAMES!! KAIBA AND ANZU!! *cough cough* They were soo into their kiss it seems like there was no tomorrow. You could obviously see that they were both enjoying the moment, and weren't worrying if they won the contest of not. All they want is each other. Actually, you may think that they forgot that the whole student body is watching them like hawks.

... after 15 minutes ... *quite a long time if you ask me*

Anzu and Kaiba were the first to break off the kiss. Anzu glanced at the other couple and she was angry with fury. Mai and Joey were still standing! "That's impossible!" screamed Anzu. "Wouldn't they have gone out of breath already?!" After she finished yelling, Mai and Joey broke off the kiss. Next thing you know, the whole school cheers!! WHOOO!! ALL RIGHT!!!!

Mai: "Well, I guess that we won then! Well.. remember the bet we made?"

Anzu: "How could we ever forget?" *sarcastically* "Well, which of us has to surrender a card?"

Mai: "Each of you, of course! You see.. it wouldn't be nice if one of us got a prize and the other didn't, right?"

Kaiba: "Darn!"

Joey: "Well.. lay them out, squirt! And Anzu, lay them out too so that my baby can pick hers." *hears Anzu growl*

Kaiba: *grr* "Who are you calling squirt?!"

Joey: "The one and only.............. *drum roll*................. ME!!!"

Kaiba: *lays out his cards* 'Please don't pick a good card.' he whispers

Joey: "hmm.... maybe I'll pick this one.. nah.. maybe this one! AH HAH!! Kaiba-boy, guess which card I drew?! I hope that you don't be too disappointed.. considering that I drew your favourite card. THE BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON!!!"

Kaiba: *sees his blood drain from his face* "O..M..G... THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! Of all the cards you drew, you drew one of my dragons! There's only 4 in the whole world! I had 3 so I could create the Ultimate Blue Eyes, but noooo, you just had to separate them!! You punk! You will pay, Wheeler. Just you wait!!"

Joey: "Aww.. lighten up, man! The worst thing that will actually happen is that you'll get stomped by it!

Kaiba: 'That's what I'm afraid of..' mutters Kaiba

Joey: *slaps Kaiba on the back* *Kaiba falls to the ground* "Now Anzu, Mai's going to choose one of your cards."

Mai: "Knowing you, you probably have sucky monsters that can't even beat a Kuribou."

From the crowd

Yugi: Don't diss Kuribous!! They're an important step to victory!

*** Back on the stage ***

Mai: "For strangling a cat, that is. Anywayz, I draw this one card.. and it is... drum roll please! *everybody in the school drumrolls* Oh my! I drew... ah man! A Shining Friendship!! ei-ya..."

Anzu: "OMG... this can't be happening to me! That's my best card!"

Mai: "Best card my foot! This can't even take out my Harpie Lady even if its life were dependant on it! *grr* Well, what do you expect from a loser deck like yours anywayz. Well, might as well take it."

general POV
 They all left the stage. Joey and Mai: obviously with pride and students were crowding around them. On the other hand, *cough* (Anzu and Kaiba) ... well, you don't want to know. Being stampede over _
