Kaiba mansion: roughly 7 a.m.
Kaiba wakes up to the sound of a sledgehammer using his head as a drum. He groans and puts a hand to his head. Suddenly he feels sick and stumbles into the bathroom in time to realize that, he vaguely remembers doing this for most of the night. He rests his head against the cool rim of the toilet bowl and feels himself trembling. Thank god Mokuba stayed at a friend's house last night. Kaiba thinks as he starts to throw up again.
Joey's house: same time.
Joey is lying passed out on the couch and he winces every time a car drives by. Some one knocks on the door and Joey moans with pain.
"Joey are you in there?" A girls voice comes from the other side of the door, when he doesn't answer he hears a bunch of muffled voices and then the click of a lock and somebody turns the lights on.
"Shut the damn lights off you morons!" Joey growls and buries his head under a pillow. Someone shuts the lights off and suddenly Triston lifts the pillow off Joey's face.
"Looks like someone put you through the blender buddy." He said. Joey stares at the donut that Triston has in his hand and suddenly he puts a hand to his mouth and jumps off the couch and into the bathroom. Where he proceeds to empty his already pre-emptied stomach.
"You sick or something Joey?" Mai asks from the bathroom doorway. She looks as good as ever and Joey mutters something into the toilet bowl while he rests his head on his arm.
"What was that Joey?" Mai says from the doorway.
"Nothing."
"Tell me or I turn the lights on." she threatened.
"I said, haven't you ever seen a hangover before?" Joey told her not in any mood to argue.
"A hangover, sure," then it hits her, "where were you last night Joey?" She asks.
"Beats me. Now if you don't mind I'd like to die in peace…" suddenly he starts to throw up again. Mai backs out of the room and looks at Triston and the others who are waiting in the living room.
"What's wrong with him, Mai?" Yu-gi asks looking up at her.
"Besides the hangover and bruises, I can't think of anything. Except as to why he was out partying without us."
"I don't know, I wonder what time he got back in last night."
"I haven't a clue and would you please keep it down people, I think my head is about to start-up it's own drum band." Joey told them as he stumbles into the kitchen. The others follow him.
"Do you even remember anything about last night Joey?"
"Not really, I have a vague impression of seeing a car get wrapped around a tree, bright lights and thugs in a ally, but other then that no." The phone starts to ring and Triston jumps up to answer it. Joey moans in pain and buries his head in his arms.
"Thanks I'll tell him, good-bye." Triston looks over at Joey with a confused look on his face.
"Joey that was the hospital, they said that they were just checking to see if you were O.K. after the car accident last night. What are they talking about Joey?" He asked, Joey just moans again and shakes his head.
"I think I was riding in the car that wrapped around the tree, I think, I don't' know I can't remember anything."
"Hey Joey, what kind of car was it?" Mokuba asked from where he stood behind the group.
"Mokuba? What are you doing here? … Never mind I don't' want to know, as to the car…" Joey tries to focus on his fuzzy memories of the night before. "I think it was black and must have been an expensive car, can't say why but it felt rich why?" Mokuba's face was grey and he sat down on the floor.
"That sounds almost exactly like my brothers car." Everyone stared from Mokuba to Joey, and back again.
"Maybe you had better call your house. I doubt it was Kaiba but it'll help put your mind at ease, you can use my phone." Tae offered and Mokuba nodded and took her phone and started to dial.
Kaiba mansion: 7:30
Kaiba is laying down in his study and after thanking god that it was Saturday and he didn't have to work or go to school, he was sitting with an Ice pack pressed to his head and after taking three aspirin was beginning to feel closer to human. Then the phone rang.
"Shit!" He said and in the dim light fumbled for the phone.
"Kaiba," his voice was thick and he barely recognised it himself.
"Seto?" Mokuba what's he calling fore?
"What's up Mokuba?" he asked, If anything has happened to my little brother…
"I just heard about a car accident and it sounded like your car and I got worried." Car accident? That could be what all those lights were from.
"Well I'm fine." If you don't count a pounding headache, upset stomach and a complete blank of how I got them.
"Was it your car Seto?" Mokuba sounded really worried.
"I don't know little brother I'm in the middle of the biggest headache I've ever had. But if it was then I'll probably find out soon." There was no answer on the other end.
"Mokuba?"
"Yah,"
"I'm fine, really, relax O.K."
"Alright, bye big brother. "
"Bye Mokuba." he said and Mokuba hung-up, Kaiba put the phone back on the hook, and forced him-self to stand up and wander over towards the garage. He opened the door and looked in, Shit, where's my car. Kaiba's black Ferrari wasn't in the garage.

"Bye guys I'll see you later I sort of want to be alone for awhile." Joey said almost pushing the others out the door.
"No need to push Joey, We'll stop in later hopefully you'll feel better then." Triston said Joey nodded and shut the door behind them.
Why in the world can't I remember what happened last night? He thinks as he heads towards his bedroom. Joey stumbles over something on the floor.
"What the…." he bends down and picks it up and shakes his head in disbelief. Why the heck is Kaiba's Jacket here? The last time I saw him was battle city… I almost don't want to know what happened last night. Joey thinks as he stumbles into his bedroom and tossing the Jacket over a chair he flops on the bed and closes his eyes.
