When Joe and Mai Got to his House they were greeted By his mom and sister. "Hello. What's your name?" "Uh...Mai. Mai Valentine." "Nice to meet you. Psst...Joe!" His mom whispered. "Where'd you meet her?" Looking at him Slyly. "Mom! Stop askin' questions!" "Well excuse me Joseph!" "I hate that name! Call me Joey!" "Huh?"
*His family is so...so...funny and yet there're all kind. Why does he ever feel left out? I wish I could have a family like him.* "You all seem to be nice people." "What do you expect Mai? Just because my mom and dad don't live together dosen't mean our family is broken apart." She started to sniff signaling to Joe that she was hurt by what he said. "Mai? What's-" "I'm sorry. I get like this at times and I can't control it. "I'm sorry Mai." Joey's mother exclaimed. "I din't want to make you feel like this. Doesn't Joey love you?" Mai looked at Joe who was still trying to get the lights untangled "Stupid lights!" One of them snapped off. "Great!" He then looked at Mai and smiled his famous grin. "Don't you?" His mother went on. Of course Joey couldn't hear the two talking. He was occupied at the moment. "I...I..." "I understand Mai." Mai looked at his mom like she was crazy. But she knew what was going on. So she just smiled and went on about her night.
After all of the excitement the family ate dinner and got STUFFED! Then it was time to go visit Yugi, Tea, Bakura, and Tristan. " I'm going over to Yugi's and see what their doin'. You comin'?" His said in his native tongue which was of course english, but he spoke like was from the MAFIA. I don't know the reason why either. But hey! You gotta love 'em! (here I go talking like him.) "Yeah I mean if that's alright with you." Speakin like she was a prep. "Cool...uh Mai?" "What?" "Your sitting on my keys." She looked down to see them up under her. "Oh! Sorry-..."
On the way over Joe stopped at a cemetary. "What are we doing here?" Mai questioned. " My grandma died shortly after my sister's surgery He he...funny though. She didn't really care if our family was together or apart. She said 'You don't have to be together to be a family. It matters only if the distacne between you and your sister are strong enough to make the two come together into one. Then and only then will you be united as one." "That's...really...Can you write that down?" He looked and laughed. "Hey! Hey what is so funny?" "You actually have a heart don't you Mai?" "What? Of course I have a heart...I just thought that what your grandma said was...really sweet and inspiring." Oh, really. Well we otta be going." "Yeah. I'll be there in a sec'." "Okay." Joe hopped in the car and turned the radio on. "Bu bop bu dut da yeah yeah yeah...alright!" Joe sung. Mai sat on the ground and startyed to be nostalgic of all of the times she encountered Joey and his friends. "Hey Mai you comin'?" "Hold your horses!"
