Left Behind
" How long have we been walking?" Joey said as he and Seto continued the dusty highway.
" About three days, I guess…" Seto said with a sigh.
" Hey! Look, It's building!" Seto shouted suddenly.
The boys started running like the wind towards the building praying with all their might that it wasn't a mirage.
" Oh my god! It's a diner!!!! We're saved! Quick, How much money do we have?" Joey shouted excitedly.
" We're not exactly saved, dumb ass, we just finally get to have a decent meal. And I have about $900 dollars , what about you?" Seto said.
" Umm… I've got $20... You know, it's nice to be lost with a billionaire!" Joey said as he stepped into the diner.
" I'm sure it is…… Now let's get some food, I'm starving!!!!" Kaiba said as he rolled his eyes.
" Welcome to Betsy's, can I take ya'll's order?" A waitress said with a thick country accent. She reminded Joey of Mai except this woman had about four different face earrings and bubblegum pink hair.
" Umm… I'll have the ……… southern grace special? What exactly is that?" Seto said in a confused tone.
" Ham Hocks, grits, and cornbread. Is that what you're eating, darlin'?" she said impatiently.
" I'll just have the steak with potatoes."
" What about, you sweet ass?" she said with a flirtatious wink.
" Ummmm……… I'll have the same thing…" Joey said as he started to sweet.
" I'll be right back… Don't you go away……" she whispered to Joey.
" I'm not sure if I like her or not….." Joey said as he leaned back.
" I don't see why YOU wouldn't, dar-lin'" He said.
" Let's just watch TV, I got enough problems without women fighting over me." Joey said.
" Your watching Inside Edition with Debra Norville!" A deep voice said.
" Hi everyone! I'm Debra Norville. Today's headline is among one of our sadder tragedies. Victoria Reconea has the story." A perky blond said.
" On May 14, 1998, the seniors of Domino High school left on a trip to a private island off the coast of Georgia. Among them were teen billionaire Seto Kaiba and duelist Joey Wheeler. When the bus pulled off to go back to Domino City, their teacher, Frederick Alveoli, failed to check that every student was on board and left the two boys behind. This small gas station was the last place where Joey and Seto were seen." a tall chinese woman said.
" After three days, investigators have found the boys bodies in a forest in the side. The cause of death is unknown. "
" Oh my god!!! Everyone thinks we're dead!!!" Joey shouted.
" Don't say that so loud, people will think you're insane!" Kaiba whispered.
" Later on, in today's show we'll show you a private interview we had with the boys younger siblings. " Debra said as a commercial appeared.
" What are we supposed to do? I don't want people to think I'm a ghost!" Joey said frantically.
" I know, I know, but we have to be rational about. Once we get into some town, someone will probably see us and call the authorities. Then everything will be completely normal again." Seto said calmly.
" Here's your order sir, and Here's yours, honey buns…" she said.
"*****************************************************
" Now Mokuba, what is your reaction to the death of your older brother?" Debra said as the commercial went off.
" My Brother's not dead. I know it. He and Joey are going to come home safe." Mokuba paused as tears started to roll down his cheecks.
" Is also true that while your brother is gone that you will be the CEO of Kaiba Corp. ?"
" Yes. Only members of the Kaiba family can run it. I just hope I can do as good a job as Seto..."
" Serenity, how will this change your life?"
" Well, my ispiration is gone. When I had to have eye surgery, Joey encouraged me to be strong. Oh Joey! If your watching this, come home please!!!! I love you so much."
" Same here, Seto. Please, come home."
" What brave kids to be going through such a hard time. On a minor note VH1 has agreed to doing biographies of the two boys on their hit show 'Driven'. Up next, a new acne cleansar that can kill zits in under five minutes. We'll have that right after this commercial break."
" That's insane!!!! Mokuba can't run that company! He's just a kid!! He hasn't had enough training yet!" Kaiba shouted.
" Amen, Brother!!!" a voice shouted from behind him.
" Now look who's actin like a maniac?" Joey said with a grin.
" Shut up!!!!!"
