Chapter 5: He's Not a Kid... Well Maybe...

A few people walked on the sidewalk of the quiet street. One of them walked up to a house and peeped into a window (peeping Tom... People deserve their privacy...). The person snickered in his throat.

*~*~*

Mai woke up, though she kept her eyes shut. A question tugged at the back of her mind. 'Was that a dream?... It had to be... I'm sure of it...' She shrugged it off and snuggled into what she thought was the side of the couch. 'After all... he's just a kid... right?' She felt a pair of arms wrap around her. She froze. She wasn't quite sure what was happening. She opened her eyes. She found a pair of auburn ones staring right back at her. Joey smiled held her closer, propping his head above hers. Mai grabbed the fabric of his sweatshirt and buried her face into it. He loosened his embrace and stared into her big purple eyes. 'He not a kid,' she thought, 'no... he's Joey Wheeler...' (wow that sounds corny... please don't blame me... I'm still half asleep...). They suddenly heard a knock on the window. They both jumped off the couch and stood practically a mile apart from each other (okay... it's more like six feet). They looked at each other nervously, then looked at the window. Tristan stood in front of it. He had a mile wide grin on his face. Joey grimaced at him and ran out the door. Mai just stood there. 'The snow MELTED?!' was the only thought going through her head. She too walked out the door and looked out on the world. There was still large amounts of snow everywhere, but not so much that you couldn't walk down the street. In the front yard she saw Yugi, Téa Bakura standing there as if they had nothing better to do (yes that is possible). Joey was rubbing snow into Tristan's face, who was franticly apologizing. Mai snickered to herself. 'I guess Joey is a kid... screw you voice' she thought, forgetting all about the little voice in her head. She ran up to Tristan and helped Joey rub snow in Tristan face, while the others... just kind off stood there.

A/N: and this concludes this fic. That was a short chapter. ^_^; I'll be waiting to hear what you think! R+R PLEASE!
