Yu-Gi-Oh! Love Edition
#1 Who will Joey pick? Mai or Hana?
*~ Chapter 3 ~*
Anthony's Pizzeria
"I won!" Hana yelled as she ran up and touched the cold metal bar which was the handle for the glass door of the recently opened pizza shop. Tea soon ran next to her and breathlessly said, "It doesn't matter of the winners. It's who loses that has to pay." She then put her hand just above her eyes to get a better view at the other runners. "Looks like Joey and Tristan are just ahead. Yugi is sure fast. Serenity and Duke are way left behind especially Serenity. I guess she isn't use to running a lot. Her face was red at the airport from all of that running."
"Speaking of Joey." Hana said slowly, feeling like she shouldn't bring this up; well not now anyway. Tea turned to face Hana and looked at her questionably. "We were talking about Joey? What about him?" "Well, tell me a bit about him. I mean he's a real cutie. And I um felt this weird feeling when I stared into his eyes. It's wasn't an uncomfortable feeling though. But it felt like some kind of connection." Hana then let out a sigh and had a faraway look on, and was smiling. Tea could tell that she was now daydreaming.
"Yeah! I made it!" Yugi shouted joyfully, running and stopped by Tea. "Good job Yugi!" Tea shouted giving Yugi a high-five. Finally, Tristan, Joey, Serenity, and Duke came. It turned out Duke lost at his own challenge. Serenity would have lost but Duke tried to impress her by letting her win. Of course, she wasn't impressed by it. Instead, she was easily impressed by how rapid Tristan could run. Even though, Tristan wasn't meaning to impress her at all.
When they entered the shop, they were surprise at what they saw. It was a huge store with a clean, polished counter at one side of the restaurant and the floor was tiled with a turquoise shade of blue. Round tables were surrounded by four wooden chairs with comfy seats. At the doorway was a small, wind chime decorated with a hand-painted parrot sitting on a perch and long, silver chimes dangle from the wooden ornament which makes a soft dingiling sound when you open the door to the shop. All of the other pizza shops they went to before were old, small and barely clean with candy machines that contain years old of candy that get your quarters stuck.
A tasty, smell of freshly baked pizza quickly reminded Hana of how hungry she was and it made Joey drool. Tristan pushed two tables together and everybody hurryingly sat down. There were no customers except for an elderly couple and a college student reading a novel. "Welcome to my shop. I am Anthony Santos and this is my lovely wife, Angie Santos. I am the son of the manager who owns this shop. We have delicious kind of pizzas and would love to serve you any kind you want", said a tall, mid-twenties man with big, brown eyes and dark brown hair which was in a spikish style. He has a tannish complexion and anybody could tell he is Hispanic. His voice had a Latino beat into it.
His wife was also in her mid-twenties and she was tiny, but in different ways. She was only a few inches smaller than him but she wasn't a dwarf. Tiny as in having small feet and hands. She seem like a fairy from those mystical fairy tales. She walked gracefully to where the teens were sitting and said in a smooth voice, "Is there anything you kids want?"
The teens all looked around each other and shouted their own answer. Yugi wanted plain, Serenity and Tea wanted extra cheesy, Tristan wanted pineapple slices on his, Joey and Duke wanted pepperoni, and Hana wanted sausage. They all looked around each other again and all said together, "Anchovies!"
The young woman laughed and asked were there anything else they would wan. Everybody wanted soda except for Hana who wanted a strawberry shake. "Make those ten boxes of anchovy pizza to stay!" Joey shouted happily, jumping from his seat. "You must love eating." Angie said returning back behind the counter.
"The price is not going to be pretty. Are we all going to pay?" Yugi asked holding his ten dollar bill. "No way. Duke lost the race so he has to pay." Tea reminded everyone as Duke moaned remembering about his attempt to impress Serenity by losing the race.
"So Hana, tell us a bit about yourself." Tea said to Hana hoping she will learn a lot of interesting stuff from her. "Well, I'm really into music. I like singing and dancing but I especially love playing the electric guitar. It's my favorite instrument. I also play the keyboard and drums. I had my own band, but all the members dropped out on me." Hana then sigh but decided to keep on talking.
"They made up lame excuses to drop out. I told them just to tell me the truth but they said they don't want to hurt my feelings. But what hurt my feelings is how they say they are in the worst band ever because I wasn't good enough. They said I was horrible. Now, I don't have a band anymore." Hana paused to get a sip of her strawberry milkshake which just came with the other teens' sodas.
"Now I am looking for a part-time job, maybe at the mall. I'm also looking for a singer, dancer, drummer, and anybody that can play a keyboard. I could do all of that stuff but I really want to play my electric guitar." "Did you say dancing? I love dancing!" Tea exclaimed joyfully jumping from her seat and ran to the old jukebox. She pressed a couple of buttons and then a dance beat came on, echoing in the shop. Tea then closed her eyes and in a flash, she was busting the groove.
Serenity then ran to the jukebox and grabbed the microphone. "I love to sing." she informed Hana. Then her voice boomed into the microphone and what came from the speakers was her voice in a fast motion as she sang beautifully along with the dance song.
"I kind of know how to play the keyboard," Duke said slowly. "Hey, remember I practiced playing the keyboard for three years." Tristan said, grinning. "Wait, are you saying." Hana said excited. "We want to join your band!" They all shouted delightfully. Hana couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Thank you, guys!" Hana said with a huge smile and she was truly thankful.
"Here's your pizza!" Angie appeared again with a big stack of pizza. "Enjoy!" Joey opened the first box and took four slices of pizza.
"So what brings you here to Domino City?" Yugi asked who was very interested in what Hana was saying. "Well, my dad works at an office and my mom was a secretary at an elementary school. My dad got the flu but it seems so far more worst than just getting sick. He got back pains, runny noses, sore throats, headaches; all those kind of stuff happened to him, getting him even sicker. So he was out of work for a couple of weeks and when he felt better, he returned to work. They didn't agree to give him his paychecks since he missed so many days of work."
"The school my mom was working at was very cheap. They gave her so little money when she deserved more. So we were all broke at the time. Then my dad's company moved and who knew it will be right here in the U.S., Domino City to be exact, with you guys." She then smiled at her cousin and continued.
"They said 'cause of the great movement, it will advance the company meaning more money. My mom was promoted to be a principal for a high school and she also became a part-time designer. Now I'm on the hunt for a part- time job."
"That's great Hana!" Duke said glad Hana was planning ahead about her job. "It seems like you're really thrilled being here Hana, even though you have to leave your love ones like other relatives, friends, and any boyfriends." Serenity said not knowing she made a huge mistake.
Hana looked down on the floor with a sober expression. "Relatives and friends, yeah. Boyfriends, never. I had a lot of different boyfriends before but none were ever respecting me. I thought my last boyfriend was the perfect man for me but I was wrong. He said I was the number one girl in his life. He told me there were a lot of stars in his night sky but I was the brightest one of them all and when he reached up for me, I brought the sunlight to his world. Who knew there were more bright stars in his night sky that brought him light? He was a player." Hana shifted her feet a bit feeling sad at what happened between her and her ex but she then felt a sudden pang of anger. "But he was a total idiot and I'm glad he's out of my life!" Then the anger Hana hidden inside of her exploded out as she jumped up from her seat and punched her pizza.
"Then he made the biggest mistake in his life because no man on this earth should ever break up with a beautiful and wonderful girl like you Hana. I'm saying this because I'm meaning it. Not only because your beauty and gracefulness but what makes you who you are because at this very moment, as I stare into your eyes, I feel a strong connection which makes me feel that you are special. If I'm right, then I shouldn't have this feeling 'cause I'm not worth it but I'm glad I do anyway." Joey said meaningfully as he stared deeply into Hana's eyes and the connection returned again but stronger.
Tears of gratitude filled her eyes. But there was another reason why she was crying but she didn't know why. "Thank you, Joey. I, too, could feel the connection but besides that, you make me feel so special." She then leaned over and gave him a soft kiss on his right cheek. Joey immediately turned red, blushing from the delicate kiss.
An uncomfortable silence settled between Joey and Hana and the rest of the teens; Hana quickly noticed none of the teens, except Joey, eating pizza. Probably full from eating the first four boxes of pizza, with six more boxes remaining.
Hana wanted to get rid of the uneasy quietness and start some fun so she quickly stood up and said, grinning, "Okay nobody is eating so I challenge one of you guys to an eating contest. There are six boxes left and I will eat three whole boxes and my opponent will eat the other three boxes. Anybody up for the challenge?"
Everyone, except Joey, complained how they were all full. "Bring it on!" Joey responded, sure he was going to win. Hana grinned mischievously and added, "There's more. If I win, you owe me ten bucks, deal." "Deal." In a blink of an eye, the two teens were pigging out, as the rest of the teens watched in awe.
~*~
"Oh yeah! I won! You owe me ten bucks, Joey!" Hana exclaimed happily. "Oh man!" Joey groaned. He then whispered to Yugi, "Yo man. You have any cash. I'm broke." "You lost Joey." Yugi laughed, pushing his ten dollar bill deeper in his pocket. "By the end of this week then Joey. I can tell you don't have the money." Hana said, already knowing Joey wasn't going to have the money anyway.
"Hey Hana, I was wondering if you like duel monsters." Yugi asked now turning his attention to Hana. "Of course I do. This is my favorite." Hana then open her purse and searched through her belongings. "Here it is." She handed Yugi a card in mint condition. The name of the monster is Wingweaver who's really powerful with two-thousand seven hundred fifty attack points and two-thousand four-hundred defense points. She is a fairy type monster with seven stars and her description read, 'A six-winged fairy who prays for peace and hope.'
"Here's the check and I need it now. More customers are coming in." Angie said writing down the check. It was true. More and more people walked into the pizzeria. Stubborn children were crying, tired out parents were complaining.
"Hey I have a great idea! I heard there's an abandoned warehouse somewhere in town. Now since you have a new band Hana, we can start practicing there. It will be great! You will have your own performing place. What do you say?" Tea asked excitingly knowing Hana will agree happily. "Awesome! You guys are the best. You already want to be in my band and all of you were there to welcome me here." Hana declared gladly; she just came here today and already these guys were her friends. Probably even friends before they met; from all the great stuff Tristan told her about them.
"Well, let's get going. More people are coming in." Tristan said as he got up and pushed his seat in. "Yeah." Hana said as she, too, got up and pushed in her seat. She soon saw her cousin and all her new friends with a huge smile on, enjoying the time they were spending. Except Serenity, who was frowning and has been quiet ever since the pizza punch.
Tea turned to Hana and said smiling, "I'm glad you're here Hana. You're going to love it here and we are going to have the most banging band there ever was." Hana returned the smile and replied happily, "Thanks to all of you guys here with me, I'm going to have such a great time here. With all of you guys here, who isn't going to have a great time.? and a treasured friendship."
