Stranger-Meet the Stranger
'Oh no!' cried Joey.
He picked her up, and rushed her to the hospital, with Ryou and the rest running after them. As they reached the hospital, everyone was fretting and Seto was on his cell-phone, constantly, about sales calls. They had been trying to call, since they thought that the wedding wouldn't have taken this long. He was on the merge of throwing a major tantrum, which he really wanted to avoid.
'No, haven't I told you? I'm on a break. What? The president of Mutual Funding? Tell him that I'm in a major crisis here! No! HOW IGNORANT OF YOU! You knew perfectly well that I'm on a break! How dare you schedule something! YOU BAKA SECRETARY! Oh, and now you're not going to stop persuading me to go the-'
Serenity snatched the phone, 'LOOK BITCH! THIS IS A MAJOR CRISIS HERE! IF YOU WANT TO BOTHER HIM, BOTHER HIM WHEN HE'S NOT ON BREAK. GOT IT? Oh, you're a guy? FINE! HEY BASTARD! THIS IS A MAJOR CRISIS! NOW SHUT UP!' she screamed as she hit the end button angrily.
'Miss? I'm afraid that you will wake up the other patients if you are being so loud!' a nurse complained.
'Oh, sorry about that. Uh-sales calls.they get me annoyed very easily,' she replied, obviously not in the mood to talk to anyone.
'Well then. Miss. please don't scream in here.'
'Whatever, get out of my site before I throw a fit.'
The nurse walked off, surprise at how someone could be so rude.
'Thanks for getting rid of them,' Seto mouthed.
'No problem. I always hated sales calls anyway.'
The phone rang again, and Seto threw it on the floor and smashed it to bits. 'Cursed phone calls,' he muttered, 'A guy just can't get rest because he hired some idiots. I really need to fire them.'
The doctor came out a few minutes later and the group all got up, extremely nervous.
'Are you Ms. Valentine's friends?'
They nodded. 'Is she ok?'
'Ms. Valentine is in a state of shock, you can all let out your breath, however she has not awoken. I expect she will be up in an hour or two.'
'Thank you Dr. Wall.'
'There is no need to thank me. Oh, and I must tell you this, her condition is still fragile, please don't say something or do anything that might shock her.'
'Ok, we won't.'
'Ok then, Ms. Valentine is in room 28-down the hall-to the left.'
They nodded silently and walked to the room.
'When did you decide to come back? You made us all worried sick!' scolded Serenity.
'When I realized how stupid I was.'
Mai opened her eyes, and looked around, where was she? This wasn't her home. She noticed an IV tube needle in her arm. She gasped. She wasn't in the hospital was she? She tried to sit up, but as she was still weak in the condition, she couldn't stay up. 'Where am I? I'm not in the hospital am I?'
'Mai! She's awake!'
'I'm' afraid you're in the hospital, you passed out at the wedding. We've been so worried! The doctor said you passed out because of shock.'
'Well of course I was shocked, I'm going to marry Ryou, I'm standing there, wondering if I'm making the right decision, and Joey comes in, you know! The guy that left 5 years ago and-' she noticed Ryou and Joey sitting there, quietly.
'Gave you a scare,' finished off Ryou.
'Ryou! I can explain! I really can! It happened-'
Ryou held up a hand, 'I already know, they've told me.'
'But-'
'I understand, you need not to worry about me. We can always be friends,' He opened the door, and walked out. He started walking out. The door closed in slow movement. The sound of his footsteps got fainter and fainter, until they couldn't hear them, anymore. Not even the echoes.
'I'm sorry Mai, I ruined your wedding.' He looked away. 'I'm sorry. I just had to see you, one last time.'
'Now what are you feeling sorry about? I should be the one who's sorry! I broke my promise! One thing, how did you know I was-uh.going to be married?'
'Umm.that's a long story.'
'We have all the time you want!'
'Ok, a week ago, I arrived and I went to your doorstep. I heard the words, but what am I going to do about that wedding? And I freaked. I walked toward Tristan's home to ask if it was true, and-he said he was afraid-that it was true. He asked if I wanted to meet Serenity, in hopes that I would-'
'Ok! Enough explaining-but how did you know-where I was going to be married?'
'Uh-invitation card. On Kaiba's desk. I was staying at his mansion.'
'And why were you late?' she teased.
'I rode away last night, only to find out how stupid I was acting. But when I realized I was wrong, I turned back and just busted into the chapel.'
'Oh.'
The day passed and soon the doctor said that she could leave the hospital. A couple days later, Joey knocked on Mai's door, with a dozen roses. As Mai opened the door she said cheerfully, 'Hello Stranger. Long time no see!'
'Long time no see, why don't we go to the beach and enjoy the sunset together?'
THE END.
A/N: I finally got over my writer's block! Yay! (Throws confetti in the air) HOORAY! But school is going to start soon so if I do update my next story, it might be a long, but there is nothing I can do. As I do go to TAS, I don't get to use the computer until 4 PM- and if I have a sport or activity-it's 6. So then I don't exactly have all the time to write my stories. Ok, I'm going to stop here. Please Read and Review, even though the story has ended. I would really appreciate it.
