Chapter 2: Change of Pants

Mai looked at herself in the mirror in Joey's bedroom. She was wearing a blue sweater and pair of jeans, both belonging to Joey. Of course, as you might have guessed, Mai did not fit into Serenity's clothes. They were quite small around the chest and the hips. She looked over the sweater. On her it was baggy, but on Joey, it would've been a bit tight, outlining his masculine figure. 'Bet it'd look real sexy on him.' she thought. She mentally kicked herself. "He's just a kid. He just a kid. He's just a kid."

*~*~*

Joey couldn't keep still. He was pacing all over the living room. Every time he sat down he'd get right back up. His insides were all mangled and he felt like he was going to throw up. He waited patiently for Mai to come out of him room. He didn't know what he'd do when she did though; he just wanted to see her again, ((which was like three minutes ago but who cares)). When Mai did come out of the room, she simply looked at Joey, and then she turned to the window. All you could see was the snow coming down hard and fast. While Mai was staring out the window, Joey took this opportunity to look over Mai. The clothes were way too baggy for her, and she looked pretty uncomfortable. The pants hung low on her hips and the shirt was threatening to fall over her shoulder. Mai caught Joey staring at her and gave him a nice hard glare. A sweat drop formed at the side of Joey's head. He checked his watch. It was 10:37 ((wow times flies!)). He looked over to Mai. He wanted so much to tell her how he felt. He decided right then and there that he was, right now. Joey watched her sit down on the couch. She lowered her head and stared at the ground. Joey had never seen Mai act this way. 'She... she looks guilty', he thought. 'I can't turn back now. I'm going to tell her and that's that'. He moved over and sat in front of Mai. He stared up into her big violet eyes. "Mai..." he said, giving her a warm smile. Mai's eyes widened and a sweat drop formed at the side of her face. 'She looks so cute', he thought. 'I just wanna reach over and-' Joey's face went pale. Mai gave him a quizzical look. "I'msorryI'msorryI'msorry!" Joey got up and dashed out of the room. Mai just sat there, staring down the hallway.

*~*~*

Joey paced around the laundry room. "Why did this have to happen now!?" He banged his head on the wall. "Oh well... I guess I'm gonna hafta change my pants..." He kneeled next to the dryer and started searching.

A/N: I'm sorry it's so damn short. -_-; I had a big writers block and couldn't really think of anything. Don't worry. The next chapter will be longer... maybe...
