YAAAAAAAAAY, I got 2 more reviews last chapter than I usually do! I got 4
instead of 2! YAAAAAAAAY! *happpyyyyy* welll, I expect the last 1 or 2
chapters to be better than the rest of the story, cuz I always like making
my last chapters good... if it works, I don't really know, but yeah.....
And Happy Halloween! Because this is probably the last chapter I'm gonna have out before Halloween.....

Mai woke up very early, before anyone else. She got out of bed quietly and looked through the blinds on her window. Still no snow.
She quickly scribbled, "Went back to -insert where Mai lives here-, won't be back. I'll miss you. Merry Christmas," on a piece of paper, and left it on her bedside table. Then, she began dragging her heavy suitcase to the main entrance.
The halls were empty. No nagging Kaiba this time (A/N: see Love in the Summer Vacation). The ceiling was void of mistletoe. While dragging her suitcase along, she paused by living room #3, the room most of Kaiba's decorations had gone into. One beautiful Christmas tree stood in the centre, surrounded by presents. She went over and put her stack of presents under the tree as well. Her hand lingered on Joey's present, then she put it with the rest.
Mai: (I hope he doesn't wish for something stupid.)
She dragged the suitcase out the door, and with one last look at Kaiba's huge mansion, she set off for the Domino train station.
LATER THAT MORNING
Tristan: *goes crashing into Joey's room* WHEEEEEEEEE! IIIIIIIIIIIT'S CHRISTMAS!
Joey: *wakes up* EH!?!?!?
Tristan: CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!
Joey: NO YOU IDIOT, IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE! THAT'S THE DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS!
Tristan: .....oh..... wellll..... MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE! *hops out door*
Joey: *looks at alarm clock* 9:30 am? Well, may as well go find Mai.
IN THE KITCHEN
Kaiba and Mokuba sat alone at the table, drinking coffee and hot chocolate.
Joey: Anyone seen Mai?
Kaiba: *doesn't answer*
Mokuba: you reeeeally don't want to know...
Joey: what?
Mokuba: trust me...
Joey: what happened to her!?
Kaiba: *sips coffee* she left this morning. Tea says she found a note saying that Mai went back to -insert where Mai lives here-.
Joey: WHAT!?!?
Yugi: *comes in* Hi Joey! Joey? Errr..... oh Kaiba.... did you tell him.....?
Kaiba: *shrugs*
Yugi: are .... you alright Joey?
Joey: yeah, of course! I'm fine! When does her train leave?
Yugi: ummm, 10:15 I think, why?
Joey: *runs off* isn't it obvious? I'm going after her!
Yugi: Wait! Joey!
Kaiba: stupid dog. There's nothing he can say or do to make her come back.
The blonde boy grabbed his jacket and ran out the door. He hopped on Tristan's motorcycle, and raced off. He couldn't see why anyone hadn't done this earlier!
Joey: (well, I'm not just gonna sit around! Come on you stupid piece of junk, go faster!)
MEANWHILE
Tristan: OY! WHERE'S MAH BIKE!?!?
MEANWHILE
Mai: *flipping boredly through a magazine* *checks watch* 10:00. *yawns*
AND..
Joey: 'scuse me! Sorry! Pardon me! Grrr, GET OUT OF THE WAY!
Joey: (must... Make. it...in....time...)
A LITTLE LATER
Mai: 10:15. Time to get on the train!
She had already left her suitcase in her compartment, so she started off toward it. But just as she was about to get on the train....
Someone: *crashes down the stairs* MAI! WAIT!
Mai blinked, and turned around to see Joey running up to her.
Mai: Joey?
Dude at door: miss, we're leaving soon.
Mai: hang on..
Joey: *stops in front of her and gasps for breath* Mai, I just *pant* wanted to tell you *breathe* . *looks up* I still love you.
Mai: ..........
Dude at door: Miss, the train is leaving now. Please get on board.
Mai: ..... *gets on train*
Joey collapsed on the floor. It was too late..
Mai: *comes off with her suitcase* *turns to dude at door* thank you for waiting. Sorry I took so long. But I won't be boarding today. I Think I need to spend a little more time in Domino.
Dude at door: *shrugs and gets on train*
Train: *leaves. Yes. I need bigger vocabulary. And I'm ruining moment. So I shut up now.*
Joey: Mai!? You're back? But you... I thought..
Mai: well did you really think I was going to leave my luggage there? Of course not! My dueling deck's in here! *smiles* well? Are you going to help me carry this?
Joey: *grins and bolts up* Yeah! You know, I never doubted you for a second^^ I knew you were coming back!
Mai: sure you did. And... did you really mean what you said?
Joey: Yeah. Come on Mai, let's go back.
Cat: (I sense Joey and Mai are back together. Looks like I'll be able back in time for Christmas after all. But I should leave them their special present....)
LATEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRR
Joey and Mai dropped off Mai's suitcase at Kaiba's mansion (they didn't see anyone, so they left a note) and walked outside.
Joey: so, where are we gonna go?
Mai: I don't know- hey! Look over there! *points*
Joey: hmm, it's that garden maze! The one we went in last summer. (A/N: if you want to know, read LITSV) *grins* wanna relive old memories?
Mai: let's.
IN THE MAZE
Joey and Mai walked along, hand in hand (howwwwww cornyyyyyyyy) until they came to a very familiar place...
Mai: the fountain. You think the cat left it here since last summer?
Joey: no, she must have just put it up.
They walked in to the small clearing, and sat on the edge of the fountain.
Mai: hey look, the opening didn't close this time. The cat trusts us.
Joey: well that's new.
Mai: yeah..
Joey: *stretches out* well, we sure wasted our Winter Vacation, eh?
Mai: there's still Christmas.
Joey: *smiles* and right now.
Mai: oww!
Joey: what?
Mai: a snowflake fell in my eye.... wait, snow?
Joey: *looks up* yeah, it's snowing!
Mai: we've been waiting all winter vacation, and it's finally snowing...
Joey: hmmmmm....
Their eyes locked, and a smile crossed Mai's face as Joey leaned forward and they kissed in the snowy scene.
Cat: *sitting on top of hedge, like she always is* (that would make the perfect picture! Too bad I don't have my camera! Damn!)
Raccoon (it was a raccoon right?): (oooh, did you say camera?) *pulls out camera*
Cat: (no, it's okay. I wouldn't want to ruin the moment)
Raccoon: (suit yourself!) *takes picture*
Cat: (HELLO!? You're ruining the moment you idiot!) *knocks raccoon down*
Mai: did you see a flash?
Joey: yup! See, I knew we were meant for each other! (A/N: the flash came from the camera)
Mai: maybe we should head back? The others might be worried.
Joey: nah, let's stay out a little longer.
Cat: (give me that camera!)
Raccoon: (Noooooooooo! My cameraaaaaaaaaaa!)
Cat: (no, see you made me miss the moment!) *starts strangling raccoon*
Raccoon: (WOULD YOU STOP TALKING ABOUT THE MOMENT!?!?)
Cat and raccoon: *get in a fight over camera in which they press the button from time to time taking random pictures by accident*
Joey: I swear, I keep seeing this flash..
Mai: maybe there's something wrong with your eyes?
Cat: (DIEEEEEEEEE!)
