#1 Who will Joey pick? Mai or Hana?
*~Chapter 7~*
A Sudden Accident
"Hhhhhhhhmmm." Hana's eyes slowly open as the sun's rays greeted her with warmth and upcoming joy. She stood up in bed and let out a yawn. The sun's greeting was clearly unnoticeable to the young violet-eyed for remainders of the dream stayed settled in her tired mind.
'What was that dream suppose to mean?' Hana yawned again and rubbed her eyes. 'Oh never mind. It's a new day, new start.' Another yawn popped out of her chap lips and she lay back in bed. 'Too early, I'll wake up later.'
But Hana felt very uncomfortable for something hard was right under her back. She quickly stood up again and pulled out the item from behind her. "Okay Jeremy, I'll get out of bed then." The item turned out to be her stuffed penguin which just stared up at her with its glass eyes.
She sighs, dropping the stuff toy, and made her way to the bathroom.
"Meow." A soft little purr greeted Hana as she stepped into the bathroom.
"Good morning Mew-mew!" Hana said gladly as she bent down to scratch her little kitten's neck.
The cat purred then leaps to a dust ball that happen to be rolling by.
Hana giggled then open the door to the bathroom.
~*~
The young damp teen stepped out of the shower and put on her white fluffy bathrobe which neatly had her name sewed on the pocket in small pink letters.
She opened the small window of the bathroom and breathed in the fresh crisp air. "Hmm. The breeze is nice and cool, the air is scented of fresh violets, and the sun is so bright! Yeah this spring day is going to be the best!" Hana was sure this day was going to be a great one.
"Hana.....................are you alright? Don't worry you're safe with me."
"Huh?!" Hana quickly turned around but there was nobody there.
'That voice........ it was from my dream. It sounded so familiar.'
Hana shook her head and walked into her guest/bedroom. She rapidly changed into a pair of kakis Capri, a lace blouse, and tan lace-up sandals. She blow-dried her hair straightly shoulder-length with bangs and clipped it with a brown shade colored, butterfly shaped barrette.
She ran downstairs to make herself a scramble egg bacon sandwich.
~*~
'Hmm. This day is going to be great 'cause now I'm taking control!' Hana was planning to make this day better than yesterday after her "imagine incident".
'Only if I can control that connection between Joey Wheeler and I. Every time I stare into his eyes this love connection returns.' Hana sighed dreamily but shook her head. 'No! I got to take over this love thing. Like Tristan said I got to be strong and don't let this thing take over me. Speaking, (or most likely thinking), of Tristan, where is he? Is he still sleeping?'
"Aaahhhhh!!!!!!!!" a scream from upstairs which belonged to the deep in thought's cousin startled Hana. She gasped and rapidly ran up the stairs worrying about Tristan.
She opened Tristan's bedroom's door and was surprise at the scene that display before her.
Tristan was strangling a choking Mew-mew and scraps of magazines were scatter on the ground.
"Tristan!" Hana yelled as she grabbed her kitten from her angry cousin. "What are you doing to Mew-mew?!"
"That damn cat of yours ripped up all of my magazines! My comics and car catalogs are ruined!"
"I don't care Tristan! Don't ever do that to Mew-mew again! You could have killed her!" Hana then sigh with her heart going back to its normal beat. "Gosh Tristan you scared me. I thought you were hurt."
"Whatever Hana just tell that cat of yours to leave me alone or else it will be dead. I'm going to take a shower."
Hana sighed again and looked down at her scared kitten. "C'mon Mew-mew, bet you're hungry."
She walked down the stairs with mew-mew cradled in her arms. 'Tristan is such an idiot to be hurting an innocent animal like Mew-mew.'
"You............................ you have to get away from him he's mine!"
Hana gasped and, in an instant, dropped Mew-mew.
The kitten shrieked as it tried to use its claws to hold on to the stairs' railings.
"Mew-mew!" Hana caught Mew-mew just in time.
The cat hissed and escaped its owner's embrace. It looked up at Hana angrily and, with its head in the air, left to the kitchen.
Hana sighed now having doubts about controlling today for her.
'This spring day is going to be the best? Yeah right.'
~*~
The young teen lightly snoozed on the couch, going into a deep nap after reading a romance/action novel. Just as a dream was developing in her sleepy mind, one telephone ring made her jumped.
Hana stretched and let out a little yawn before reaching over to pick up the old telephone, which was shaped as an apple. *************Hana's and Téa's phone conversation******************
Hana: "Hello, this is the Taylor residence."
Téa: "Hey Hana. It's me, Téa.
Hana: "Oh hey Téa! What's up?"
Téa: "Nothing much. How are you feeling? What happened yesterday must have really shaken you up."
Hana: "Yeah I'm fine just a bit exhausted from what happened yesterday."
Téa: "Gosh I'm bored stiff. There's nothing to do here at the game shop but watch Joey and Duke argue all day about the dueling game."
************ (Joey and Duke {in the background}) *************
Joey: "Yay I won the game Duke. You owe me ten bucks."
Duke: "No way Wheeler, you cheated."
Joey: "C'mon man I need the money to pay back Hana."
Duke: "You still haven't paid her back?! Man, you're a loser no wonder you can't admit defeat."
Joey: "What's that hotshot?! I'll show you who will be in defeat."
Yugi: "Guys stop it."
Joey and Duke: "Shut up Yugi!" ***************************************************** Hana: "You're not the only one, girl. It's been so quiet in here. My aunt and uncle aren't here since they're away on some business trip and won't be back until a couple of weeks."
Téa: "Hey, let's go to the arcade. I'll ask the other guys if they wanna come. (Turns around to face the two bickering teenage boys. {Téa: "You guys want to come to the arcade with Hana and me?" Joey: "No way! Not until Duke pays me." Duke: "I don't need to pay you anything Joey! You cheated!" Yugi: "I better stay here to watch over these two guys. They might start getting physical and grandpa will have a fit if anything is broken. Sorry Téa." Téa: "How about you Serenity? Serenity?!" Serenity: "Zzzzzzzzzz. What? What? Oh yeah I would like to go to the arcade. It's better than doing nothing."} Turns back to the phone.) "Well, the guys are so pigheaded and said they would want to stay at the game shop so it's just us; you, Serenity, Tristan, and me."
Hana: "At the arcade? K, I'll go wake up Tristan. Just wait a sec."
Téa: "K." ******************************************************
Hana laid the receiver onto the couch and made her way upstairs not wanting to make the sapphire eye wait any longer.
She slowly opened the door and saw her cousin sleeping on his bed snoring with the T.V. left on, presenting a baseball game.
"Hello....? Tristan..... Wake up Tristan!" Hana yelled.
Tristan just turned over and continued sleeping.
'Oh forget it!' Hana turned to leave the room and heard soft purring from her room. She knew right away that Mew-mew was having her usual afternoon catnap.
Hana ran down the stairs and picked up the receiver.
******************************************************* Hana: "Back. Tristan is sleeping and not even an earthquake could wake him up."
Téa: "Oh well, I guess it's only us girls. Meet me at the front of the arcade."
Hana: "K, see you in awhile." ***********************************************************
Hana replaced the receiver back and grabbed her jean jacket and purse.
She was about to open the front door but soon remembered the disturbing loud snoring from upstairs. She knew if she left without telling Tristan, she would get in major trouble and Tristan will probably have a heart attack for how overprotected he is with Hana. So, Hana decided to leave a note. She grabbed a napkin and quickly scribbled:
Hi Tristan!! Went to the arcade with the rest of the girls. Be back later!!!! ^_~ -Hana
She left it on the kitchen table then left to the arcade.
~*~
The violet eyed girl kept on running so swiftly that she tripped right into the arms of a young brown eyed boy.
"Oh I'm so sorry." But when Hana looked up, she was surprised at what she saw.
It turned out to be no other than Joey Wheeler.
As soon as their eyes met, more than just a love connection began.
***********Hana's P.O.V. *********************** 'Joey...... I look up to find Joey and when my glittering eyes met his brown ones, I couldn't help but blush. But it was more than just a color shade across my face. My heart was racing, my legs were melting, my lips were quivering. All I can do is get lost in his mesmerizing eyes. I can feel both of our hearts pumping at an incredible speed. I can tell he felt the same. I couldn't help myself but close my eyes, take a deep breath and..' *************************************************
"Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!" Hana screamed as she escaped the embrace.
A dumbfounded Joey looked down at her.
"Hana are you okay?!" Joey yelled looking worried.
Hana then realized that she just bumped right into him and got this weird feeling while Joey did nothing but catch her and apologize for bumping right into her. Joey was just confused while Hana was the only one that felt this. Just her imagination playing tricks on her.
"Hana.. what's a matter? I catch you and you start screaming." Joey said slowly looking down a frightened teen.
"I-I got to go." With that, Hana continued running, not looking back, leaving a bewildered teen.
'Am I going nuts?! Only I felt that, Joey didn't. Oh gosh. This love thing is taking over me.' Hana was so deep in thought that she didn't noticed bumping right into a blond haired woman.
"Watch where you're going!" the woman yelled at the violet eyed.
"I'm sorry." Hana said getting tired of bumping right into people.
"Oh it's you Hana." The woman said plainly for she turned out to be Miss. Valentine.
"Mai! Oh sorry for bumping into you I mean I bumped right into Joey before then I got this weird feeling and.." Hana was shaking as sweat rolled down her forehead.
"With Joey! I mean you said you were feeling weird?" Mai was angry Joey and Hana met again but she tried to cool down.
"Yeah I had been having love issues. I-I.. I got to go." Hana was about to leave but somebody pulled her arm.
"But wait Hana. You said love issues. Well I can help you with that." Mai said who the one that pulled Hana's arm was.
"It's okay; really I mean I already talked to Tristan about it." Hana had no plans to stay there with Mai.
"Nonsense, guys give the worst advice about a strong feeling like love. Besides, I bet he hasn't told you the secret about Joey."
"The secret about Joey?" Hana looked up at Mai confusingly but had much interest in what Mai has to say.
"Oh of course, I know because Joey and I was a very tight couple. I'll tell it to you over a cup of coffee." Mai grabbed the young teen's arm and began dragging her. Hana very much was interested so she let herself be dragged. As for Mai, she had a mischievous glint twinkling in her eyes.
~*~
"Hmm. I wonder where Hana is. She said she will meet us here but it's past four." The young brunette said to her best friend, as she glanced at her digital watch.
"She will probably be here soon Téa. Well I hope; the arcade closes soon because they need to get most of the games fixed. Electrical problems." Serenity replied to the sapphire eyed.
"Yeah let's wait a few more minutes then."
~*~
The young teen and the woman entered the small coffee shop which smelled of coffees of every assortment.
The blond haired woman led the violet eyed to a small table with only two chairs.
As Hana sat down, she wondered what "Joey's Secret" was.
Mai flipped her long, blond hair and winked at a college guy who was drinking his cappuccino.
"So what is this secret of Joey's you speak of Mai?"
"Oh yeah, well...." Mai sat down as the glint in her eyes became more mischievous.
"Joey and I was a very close couple practically married already for all I know. I loved him and he loved me. As we grew closer, I knew everything about him and trust me honey, not everything about wonder boy is as great as it seems."
"Any drinks sweeties," said a woman in her early sixties with short, gray hair and icy blue eyes. She was a bit smaller than the two girls sitting at the table but even how tiny she is, she was an elderly with a heart of gold.
Hana decided to answer since Mai just rolled her eyes showing no respect for the elder woman. Anyways, Hana does want to meet more people in this city of Domino and the waitress seemed like a good start.
"A coffee for me and Miss. Valentine would want..."
"Just water, coffee and all of the other junk they sell here ruins my teeth." Mai answered who was defiantly the kind of woman that mostly cares about outer beauty.
"Now Mai, won't you want a cappuccino. What happened to your usual order of coffee and salty crackers? I never see you around here anymore," The elder woman said with her hands on her hips.
"Whatever Molly, just give me some water and coffee for the girl. You're getting very annoying and I'm getting impatient." Mai said rather rudely, rolling her violets.
"No respect," the elder mumbled under her breath. She then turned to Hana and smiled greatly. "Now I haven't seen you around here. You're new?"
Hana nodded and returned the smile. "I'm Hana Taylor. I moved here from Tokyo. Nice to meet you Miss.."
"Molly Jennings but you can just call me Molly. Don't need to be older than I am already."
"You have any other drinks than coffee Molly. Any malt drinks?"
"Of course, we sell milkshakes if you want any."
"Chocolate malt will be more like it."
"Sure thing sweetie," the elderly then sigh sadly.
"What's a matter Mol?" the violet eyed asked right away noticing the grief in Molly's voice.
"I'm going to miss this little coffee shop. I'm retiring soon but I'll be moving back to Canada to live with my daughter." She then smiled, and patted Hana's head. "Glad such a sweetheart like you is here to comfort me on my last days of work. You kind of remind me of my daughter with your big, glittering eyes full of joy and kind smile."
Hana smiled back glad she can comfort Molly. "Glad I'm here too."
"Could you guys like hurry up?! You two are just wasting valuable time that doesn't need to be wasted like this." Mai snapped angrily getting even more impatient by the second.
"Time? Oh no, I'm suppose to meet Téa and Serenity at the front of the arcade." Hana said quickly as she got up but Mai jagged her to sit back down.
"I still haven't talk to you Hana. The friendship preacher and crybaby can wait." Mai said not wanting Hana to leave until she hears about "Joey's Secret".
"I better get to those drinks. Be back in a jiffy." The elderly turned and disappeared behind the counter.
"Anyways, what I was saying before I was interrupted by that old crow is that there is only one word that describes the deceiving Joseph Wheeler."
"Oh and what word is that Mai?" Hana became less interested in the subject and became more anxious to leave to meet her friends.
"Player."
Hana's heart almost stops pumping. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. So, maybe it was true. Joey was maybe another player lurching girls to him just to break their hearts.
"A-a player?!" Hana said the word slowly and in disgust.
Mai grinned wickedly to herself but remained looking sad to Hana.
Molly returned with the drinks and seeing a silence had uneasily settled between Mai and Hana, left without a sound.
Hana breathe slowly and asked, with her heart pumping very unhurriedly, "Was that the reason you guys broke up?"
Mai was outraged. She stood too swiftly that the table got knocked over, leaving a mess of water and chocolate malt on the tile floor. "WE DIDN'T BREAK UP TAYLOR AND IF YOU THINK HE'S ALL YOUR'S THEN THINK AGAIN!!!!!!!!!"
Her scream brought the whole coffee shop to be quiet with everybody staring. "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?!!!" She turned and left the shop leaving an embarrassed and angry Hana.
Hana slowly stood up and uneasily walked to Molly who was staring from behind the counter. She opened her purse and pulled out a couple of dollars. She looked down at the floor embarrassed and pushed the money to Molly.
"H-here's the money for both drinks. Sorry for what happened. I'll really stay to clean up the mess but I'm supposed to meet a couple of my friends at the arcade and I'm kind of late. I'm sor-"
She was interrupted by a pat on her head from the elder. She smiled sweetly and said, "Don't worry about the mess honey. Just go run along and have fun with your friends."
Hana looked up surprised Molly forgave her.
The violet eyed smiled greatly to the blue eyed. "You're the best Mol."
Hana turned and ran out of the shop leaving confused customers.
Molly turned to the customers and said in a stern tone, "Okay, people this is a coffee shop not a library so get back to your businesses."
~*~
"Téa, we should really call Hana. The arcade is close and it's already pass five." The young teen said feeling worried about Tristan's cousin.
"Yeah we should but..."
"But what?"
"Your stupid brother lost my cell, remember?" Téa said feeling even more angry that Joey lost her cell phone.
"Oh yeah and I just remembered that even if any of us had a phone, none of us has her cell number and now we don't have a phone making Tristan's number useless."
"Yeah, let's head back to the game shop and call Tristan. Man, he's probably worried."
Serenity then gasped. "Téa what if Hana got kidnapped! She's probably injured or...." Serenity couldn't continue.
"Serenity! Hana's not dead! Or I hope she isn't. C'mon we have to go back to the game shop."
"Right!"
The two teenage girls ran to the game shop as gray clouds formed in the darkening sky.
~*~
Hana kept on running at a top pace as rain poured down.
'Just my luck.'
The raindrops came down harshly, blinding the young teen.
'Ugh now I can't see. Great.' The young teen cursed loudly as it got colder and freezing winds were slapping her.
Lightning streak into the black sky and thunder pondered into Hana's ears.
Hana groaned and blindly tried to cross the street. Thunder blasted even louder in her ears and she was deaf from the upcoming car coming her way. The car, however, gotten strangely faster, feet away from the young violet eyed.
The car came crashing right into Hana. The girl flipped and collided into the windshield falling unconscious.
The driver didn't pay no mind and continued driving in the darken night.
~*~
'Geez, I wonder what was wrong with Hana? Oh well, she must be going crazy from what happened yesterday. Well, better head back to the game shop.'
The blond hair teen jumped into puddles on the sidewalk till a large unmovable heap on the street caught his eye. He soon noticed it was a person lying unconscious as he moved closer.
His eyes widen when he saw that the knocked out girl was no other than Hana Taylor.
"Hana!" he screamed as he slipped his one arm under her legs and the other under her arms. Her head rested on his chest and Joey ran across the street.
In a flash, Joey ran to the game shop where he knew it would much more comforting to the teenage girl that was slowly slipping into a coma.
~*~
"I wondered where the girls are." Yugi asked Duke. "It's starting to rain and it isn't friendly either."
Duke shrugged then remembered Serenity left too. "I should go look for them. I don't want Tristan to have Serenity."
Yugi sweat drop then remembered that Téa was with Serenity. 'I hope Téa is okay too.'
'Don't worry Yugi. I'm sure Téa is alright.' Yami, who was resting in his soul room, said to Yugi.
'I hope so.'
Yami sighed then returned to his soul room. As soon as he left, the front door flew open.
Two wet and tired teenage girls walked in as a freezing wind entered the room.
"Téa!" Yugi yelled happily glad that she finally came.
"Serenity!" Duke ran up to Serenity and hugged her from behind. "I'm glad you're here my dear sweet Serenity. Now together we could be happy and merry."
"Oh get away from me Duke." Serenity coughed pushing Duke away from her.
Yugi looked around confused. "Where are Hana and Tristan?"
"Hana never came and Tristan wasn't going to come." Téa replied as she closed the door.
"Hey, where's Joey?" Serenity asked seeing Joey was nowhere to be seen.
"He went out for a walk. He said he was coming back soon." Yugi answered his best bud's younger sister.
"Geez, it's really getting harsh out there. I better call Tristan. Maybe Hana went back home." Téa picked up the phone and was about to punch in Tristan's house number but stopped when the door was forced opened.
In came a tired and soak to the skin blond, cradling an unconscious brown haired in his arms.
When the sapphire eyed saw the scene and quickly realized it was Joey carrying Hana who was now in coma, dropped the phone and fear filled her widened eyes as she stared at Joey speechless and open-jawed.
Téa finally sputtered out, "What happened Joey?!"
"No time to explain guys. Let's take Hana upstairs." this was all Joey said as he carried Hana up the stairs.
He slowly and carefully placed the violet eyed on the worn out couch. Grandpa Motto, who was just sitting down watching a football game asked the blond, "What happened to the poor girl Joey?"
Joey sat down on the floor next to Hana and sighed, "I found her blackout on the street, gramps. She must have gotten hit by a car."
Joey then sprang up with his fist curled. "Whoever hit Hana is so stupid! How can't they feel that they just ran over a girl?! When I find out who did this to her, I'm going to beat their ass!"
"Joey calm down! It isn't their fault if they couldn't see her in the rain!" Téa shouted angrily at Joey mad he wasn't thinking but just blaming the driver. She was followed by the rest of the worried teens.
"Yeah but they can't feel they just ran into a human being! Then I guessed it isn't their fault either and it's just the rain!"
"Stop it guys! Arguing doesn't help us!" Serenity scolded the two fighting teens.
"Humph. Anyways, I'll go call Tristan he must be worried sick." With that, Téa turned and left to make her phone call.
~*~
The brown haired teenage boy continued on sleeping peacefully. He turned over in his bed and mumbled happily, "Oh yes Serenity! I WILL marry you!" He was obviously dreaming about him and Serenity.
He turned over again, this time too far, and rolled off the bed with a loud thud.
"Oohhhh, man. Why do I have to wake up when I was having such a great dream?" He got up and looked around feeling the uneasiness in the silence.
"Hana! Oh Hana! Where are you?!" Tristan decided to scan around the house for his cousin.
He walked into the kitchen which was the last room he looked in and just as panic rose into him, found the napkin with Hana's note.
He crunched the napkin into a ball and threw it into the trash. He yelled, in rage, "How can she leave when there's a storm out?!" A thunder boom and the telephone ringed. Tristan picked it up on the first ring.
************Tristan's and Téa's phone conversation**************
Tristan: "Hana?!"
Téa: "Tristan?! Oh glad you're awake! Look Tristan, an accident just happened."
Tristan: "Wha?! Téa?! What kind of accident?! Where's Hana?!"
Téa: "Tristan, Hana..." (A silence formed for Téa couldn't bear to tell him the news.)
Tristan: "What happened to Hana, Téa?!" (Tristan was getting very impatient.)
Téa: "She's... She's gotten hit by a car Tristan."
Tristan: "What?! Stop lying Téa! This isn't a joke! Where is Hana?!!!"
Téa: "You think this is a prank?! I'm telling the truth Tristan! Hana got hit by a car! Don't worry though; she's here at the game shop still unconscious."
Tristan: "What???!!!!!!! Why isn't she at the hospital???!!!"
Téa: "Calm down Tristan! Just come over here right away!"
Tristan: "Oh I will and when I come over there; I'm going to kill you for not even being there for her! What kind of friend are you for not even seeing an upcoming car coming your way??!!! Weren't you and Serenity with her??!!!"
Téa: "But Tristan, Hana nev-"
***************************************************
Tristan hanged up enraged of the news and just talking and not doing anything. He picked up Mew-mew, who just down from her nap, and ran out to the car.
~*~
The young sapphire eyed sigh as she sat down next to Yugi. "He hanged up. Poor guy is worried."
"I know you're worried too, Téa. Don't worry cause you're not the only one. Look at Joey." Yugi soothed placing his hand on her shoulder. Téa managed a weak smile then glance over to Joey.
He was sitting right next to Hana holding her hands looking at the poor girl with a sober expression.
'Why does this have to happen to her? Why? Why now when she's just getting use to Domino? Why? Hana..' Joey gave a little squeeze to her hand and to his surprise she returned the squeeze. A candle of hope lighted inside of him for he knew Hana was listening to every word in his mind.
Just then, the door flew opened and a worried brown haired ran next to his cousin. Joey quickly released Hana's hands and let Tristan to have his own time with Hana.
Tristan embraced his cousin as rage and panic took over him. Tears were in his eyes for anybody will cry when their loved one was just hit by a car.
Serenity placed her hand on Tristan's shoulder and said, also with tears in her eyes, "Tristan, she wasn't with us. If she was, we would have all been there for her and we still are. Téa and I will never let harm get to each other and I'm sure she will do the same."
Tristan turned and hugged Serenity, for both were filled with fear.
"Okay everybody, clear the way. No wonder she can't wake up cause you're not giving her air." The teens turned and moved over to find Grandpa Motto wearing white rubber gloves and dressed as a doctor.
"Grandpa, you're going to aid Hana?" Yugi asked confused.
"Of course I am my grandson. You want to bring her to a useless hospital while you have me?"
Grandpa then checked Hana's temperature and noticed several cuts.
"Is she going to be okay Mr. Motto?" Serenity asked as she watched grandpa get up and take his gloves off.
"She's going to be just fine Serenity. She's just running on a high fever and there are bruises here and there." Grandpa Motto then turned to the other teens. "You kids better head home. It's getting late and the storm is getting worse."
"No way and leave her?" Joey said not wanting to leave Hana left behind.
"Nu-uh." Serenity simply said, in the arms of Tristan.
"If you think I'm leaving my cousin behind, then you're wrong." Tristan said who of course wasn't going to leave his cousin's side.
"I'm not going anywhere." Duke said.
"I'm staying right here." Téa said.
"I'm not leaving my friend's side. Besides grandpa, you can't kick me out of my own house." Yugi said.
"You kids are the best. I'm glad Hana has friends like you guys." Grandpa then turned and said, "I'll call your parents to tell them you're coming home late?"
Serenity's eyes widened as she got an idea. "Hey, why don't we have a sleepover?"
"Yeah that's a great idea. It could be a party." Téa answered happily.
"But wait.." Nobody would let grandpa speak.
They were already getting pillows and blankets ready. Grandpa just couldn't have six teens partying all night long with one teen knocked out. That would be a disaster.
*******Grandpa Motto's imagination ********************
"Omigosh, Téa look at this guy in this magazine! He's so hot!" Serenity giggled pointing to a tall, dark, and very good-looking guy sitting on the hot summer beach.
"Oooohhhhh, he's so dreamy!" Téa replied walking over to Serenity with a glass of soda.
"I won the duel Tristan so pay up." Joey growled at his best friend.
"Make me." Was all the angry Tristan said.
"You wanna fight big guy!" Joey jumped Tristan as they began punching and kicking each other.
"Well hello Serenity. Glad I'm going to spend the night with you." Duke then pulled the teen closer forcing a kiss on her lips.
"Ewwwwwww!!!! Get away from me you ass!!!!!!" Serenity screamed slapping Duke's face.
"C'mon Yugi. Let's have our own private time." Téa said in a seductive tone.
"Umm, maybe just a kiss on the cheek?" Yugi said slowly.
"Yugi..." Téa said grinning pulling Yugi.
"Give me the money stupid!" Joey yelled at Tristan.
"Yeah right like I'll give you the money!" Tristan shouted punching Joey in the stomach.
Grandpa gasped when he saw Hana was lifeless.
"Oh my god!!!"
************************************
It turned out Grandpa's yell was real for the teens looked up at him confusingly.
"What's a matter grandpa? It's okay to let them sleepover right?" Yugi asked his grandpa, bewilder.
"Oh of course, it's all right Yugi." Grandpa said simply. "Now I'm going to bed. Wake me up if Hana wakes up. Don't want to hear a sound from you kids. Got it?"
"Yes Grandpa Motto!!!!!!!" the teens chorused happily.
Grandpa sighed and mumbled under his breath, "Noisy kids." He left into his bedroom and closed the door.
As for the teens, they didn't plan to have a wild party. They decided to have a nice quiet one, with checking up on Hana and having little snacks while telling stories. Everybody was actually enjoying it, even Tristan who wasn't in much rage anymore. But Joey kept watch on Hana practically every five minutes for he never wanted to leave her side.
Serenity walked to her brother and placed her hand on his shoulder, looking down on him with a sweet smile. "Don't worry Joey. I'm sure Hana will do just fine. Look at Tristan. He practically had a heart attack for all I know and he's trying to cool down cause he knows his baby cousin will do just fine. We are all trying to have some fun but at heart we are all worried about her. So c'mon Joey, have a drink and have some fun but that doesn't mean you have forgotten about Hana."
Silence came from the blond and his younger sister let out a sigh and walked back to Tristan's side.
"Poor guy," Téa whispered to Serenity drinking her orange soda. "He never wants to leave her side. He cares for Hana so much."
"Ya, he has a huge crush on her," Serenity winked at Téa as the sapphire eyed giggle.
"Oooooooo, really? He told you?"
"Oh please Téa. He doesn't need to tell you for you to figure out. But I did make him tell me something."
"Oh true. He and Hana were having a blast yesterday. Oh hey, what did he tell you?"
"Well........." Serenity laid back and closed her eyes, remembering the conversation she had with her older brother last night.
*********Serenity's and Joey's conversation (last night) *******************
Serenity stretched and let out a little yawn. "I'm so tired Joey. We had so much fun today. Tristan's cousin, Hana, is the best and I can't wait till our next band practice. That was strange what happened today. One minute Hana is singing, the next she's fainted. Probably just tired from all of the excitement." Serenity then yawned again and flopped onto the bed.
As for her brother, he was deep in thought as in thinking. He finally looked up and said in a quiet tone, "I'm really worried about Hana. I hope she's okay; maybe I should call her."
A small smirk formed on Serenity's lips. "Oooooooo, is Joey Wheeler in love?"
Joey then glared at his sister but her face expression didn't change. Joey then sighs and was about to leave but Serenity's comment made him stop.
"Oh c'mon Joey; fine I'll be nice. What do you think of the new girl?" Serenity asked rolling her eyes.
"She's a great gal actually. I'm going to ask her to the spring dance."
"Yaaaaaaay!!!!! My brother actually has a girlfriend!!!!!" Serenity exclaimed joyfully jumping behind Joey and hugging his neck.
"Get off me!!!! You're choking me!!!" Joey shoved his younger sister onto the side. "Serenity; Hana and I just met. She's not my girlfriend but she's just going to be my partner for the dance."
"Girlfriend." Serenity corrected, giggling.
Joey turned to his sister and cocked his right eyebrow. "Anyway, if she was my girlfriend, she's isn't my first. You do remember Mai was also my girlfriend, right?"
"Yeah right, barely. The number of dates you guys had was zero. The time you guys went to the movies doesn't count cause you guys did nothing. All you did was watching the movie and that's it. You guys didn't even talk; and it was a horror movie. I expected Mai to jump on you when the monster in the movie popped out of nowhere and started screaming and eating people. But you were the one that screamed and still Mai didn't talk to you. You guys didn't talk at all. Not even in the car. So you guys were never a couple and probably never will be since you have Hana now." Serenity said quickly sitting up and rolling her eyes.
"Hey, wait.." Joey then stopped and was once again, thinking. He finally turned to his sister and yelled, "How did you knew all of that happened?!"
"Oh, ehe." Serenity sweat dropped and rubbed her head. "Well I was just watching you guys."
"What?! You were spying weren't you?!!!!!!!"
"I said I was just watching. It isn't my fault if I happened to be watching the same movie as you guys at the same time."
"Anyway, how did you got out of the house? Weren't you grounded for eating all of the chocolate syrup right out of the bottle and making a mess?"
"No Joey that was you and when dad figured out you sneaked out of the house, you were grounded for three weeks plus the other three weeks."
"Then how do you know about the quietness in the car?"
"Easy. I threw myself in the back of the car and I even sneaked into the theaters."
"You wha??!!!"
"Hey, I wasn't the only one involved!! Téa was there too!!!"
***************************************************************
"Hey wait, I was never included there!!! I never even knew Joey and Mai were on a date!!!!!!!" Téa yelled confusingly at Serenity.
"Hey I couldn't take all the blame!" Serenity let out a fake laugh while Téa sweat dropped.
Téa sighed and lay back down and briskly said, "Whatever, Serenity. What else happened?"
"Well..."
*************************************************
"Serenity!!!" Joey yelled angrily.
"Well I had to do something. I was so bored at home."
"Whatever Serenity, I'm going to take a shower."
"Joey?" Serenity said in a sweet tone to her brother.
"What is it sis?"
"You do have a crush on Hana? Don't you? You seemed so much happier with her than with Mai." Serenity's voice was still honey-covered but she was serious, (and curious).
Joey sighed and sat back down on the bed. "Yeah, I guess I do. She's really pretty with those large, glittering violet eyes of hers and her soft, brown hair.." Joey then was dazed thinking about the new comer's inner and outer beauty.
"Yaaaaaaaaaaayyyy!!!!!! Then my brother does have a girlfriend!!!!" Serenity jumped once again and hugged her brother's neck from behind.
"Serenity!!!! Get off me!!!!!"
******************************************
"Yup, so as you can see, Joey has feelings for this girl," Serenity yawned.
"Yeah, I guess." Téa pulled out her pillow and with a yawn, fell into a deep sleep.
Everybody was sound asleep except for the blond haired, who continued holding Hana's cold hands and watching her with care.

#1 Who will Joey pick? Mai or Hana?
*~Chapter 7~*
A Sudden Accident
"Hhhhhhhhmmm." Hana's eyes slowly open as the sun's rays greeted her with warmth and upcoming joy. She stood up in bed and let out a yawn. The sun's greeting was clearly unnoticeable to the young violet-eyed for remainders of the dream stayed settled in her tired mind.
'What was that dream suppose to mean?' Hana yawned again and rubbed her eyes. 'Oh never mind. It's a new day, new start.' Another yawn popped out of her chap lips and she lay back in bed. 'Too early, I'll wake up later.'
But Hana felt very uncomfortable for something hard was right under her back. She quickly stood up again and pulled out the item from behind her. "Okay Jeremy, I'll get out of bed then." The item turned out to be her stuffed penguin which just stared up at her with its glass eyes.
She sighs, dropping the stuff toy, and made her way to the bathroom.
"Meow." A soft little purr greeted Hana as she stepped into the bathroom.
"Good morning Mew-mew!" Hana said gladly as she bent down to scratch her little kitten's neck.
The cat purred then leaps to a dust ball that happen to be rolling by.
Hana giggled then open the door to the bathroom.
~*~
The young damp teen stepped out of the shower and put on her white fluffy bathrobe which neatly had her name sewed on the pocket in small pink letters.
She opened the small window of the bathroom and breathed in the fresh crisp air. "Hmm. The breeze is nice and cool, the air is scented of fresh violets, and the sun is so bright! Yeah this spring day is going to be the best!" Hana was sure this day was going to be a great one.
"Hana.....................are you alright? Don't worry you're safe with me."
"Huh?!" Hana quickly turned around but there was nobody there.
'That voice........ it was from my dream. It sounded so familiar.'
Hana shook her head and walked into her guest/bedroom. She rapidly changed into a pair of kakis Capri, a lace blouse, and tan lace-up sandals. She blow-dried her hair straightly shoulder-length with bangs and clipped it with a brown shade colored, butterfly shaped barrette.
She ran downstairs to make herself a scramble egg bacon sandwich.
~*~
'Hmm. This day is going to be great 'cause now I'm taking control!' Hana was planning to make this day better than yesterday after her "imagine incident".
'Only if I can control that connection between Joey Wheeler and I. Every time I stare into his eyes this love connection returns.' Hana sighed dreamily but shook her head. 'No! I got to take over this love thing. Like Tristan said I got to be strong and don't let this thing take over me. Speaking, (or most likely thinking), of Tristan, where is he? Is he still sleeping?'
"Aaahhhhh!!!!!!!!" a scream from upstairs which belonged to the deep in thought's cousin startled Hana. She gasped and rapidly ran up the stairs worrying about Tristan.
She opened Tristan's bedroom's door and was surprise at the scene that display before her.
Tristan was strangling a choking Mew-mew and scraps of magazines were scatter on the ground.
"Tristan!" Hana yelled as she grabbed her kitten from her angry cousin. "What are you doing to Mew-mew?!"
"That damn cat of yours ripped up all of my magazines! My comics and car catalogs are ruined!"
"I don't care Tristan! Don't ever do that to Mew-mew again! You could have killed her!" Hana then sigh with her heart going back to its normal beat. "Gosh Tristan you scared me. I thought you were hurt."
"Whatever Hana just tell that cat of yours to leave me alone or else it will be dead. I'm going to take a shower."
Hana sighed again and looked down at her scared kitten. "C'mon Mew-mew, bet you're hungry."
She walked down the stairs with mew-mew cradled in her arms. 'Tristan is such an idiot to be hurting an innocent animal like Mew-mew.'
"You............................ you have to get away from him he's mine!"
Hana gasped and, in an instant, dropped Mew-mew.
The kitten shrieked as it tried to use its claws to hold on to the stairs' railings.
"Mew-mew!" Hana caught Mew-mew just in time.
The cat hissed and escaped its owner's embrace. It looked up at Hana angrily and, with its head in the air, left to the kitchen.
Hana sighed now having doubts about controlling today for her.
'This spring day is going to be the best? Yeah right.'
~*~
The young teen lightly snoozed on the couch, going into a deep nap after reading a romance/action novel. Just as a dream was developing in her sleepy mind, one telephone ring made her jumped.
Hana stretched and let out a little yawn before reaching over to pick up the old telephone, which was shaped as an apple. *************Hana's and Téa's phone conversation******************
Hana: "Hello, this is the Taylor residence."
Téa: "Hey Hana. It's me, Téa.
Hana: "Oh hey Téa! What's up?"
Téa: "Nothing much. How are you feeling? What happened yesterday must have really shaken you up."
Hana: "Yeah I'm fine just a bit exhausted from what happened yesterday."
Téa: "Gosh I'm bored stiff. There's nothing to do here at the game shop but watch Joey and Duke argue all day about the dueling game."
************ (Joey and Duke {in the background}) *************
Joey: "Yay I won the game Duke. You owe me ten bucks."
Duke: "No way Wheeler, you cheated."
Joey: "C'mon man I need the money to pay back Hana."
Duke: "You still haven't paid her back?! Man, you're a loser no wonder you can't admit defeat."
Joey: "What's that hotshot?! I'll show you who will be in defeat."
Yugi: "Guys stop it."
Joey and Duke: "Shut up Yugi!" ***************************************************** Hana: "You're not the only one, girl. It's been so quiet in here. My aunt and uncle aren't here since they're away on some business trip and won't be back until a couple of weeks."
Téa: "Hey, let's go to the arcade. I'll ask the other guys if they wanna come. (Turns around to face the two bickering teenage boys. {Téa: "You guys want to come to the arcade with Hana and me?" Joey: "No way! Not until Duke pays me." Duke: "I don't need to pay you anything Joey! You cheated!" Yugi: "I better stay here to watch over these two guys. They might start getting physical and grandpa will have a fit if anything is broken. Sorry Téa." Téa: "How about you Serenity? Serenity?!" Serenity: "Zzzzzzzzzz. What? What? Oh yeah I would like to go to the arcade. It's better than doing nothing."} Turns back to the phone.) "Well, the guys are so pigheaded and said they would want to stay at the game shop so it's just us; you, Serenity, Tristan, and me."
Hana: "At the arcade? K, I'll go wake up Tristan. Just wait a sec."
Téa: "K." ******************************************************
Hana laid the receiver onto the couch and made her way upstairs not wanting to make the sapphire eye wait any longer.
She slowly opened the door and saw her cousin sleeping on his bed snoring with the T.V. left on, presenting a baseball game.
"Hello....? Tristan..... Wake up Tristan!" Hana yelled.
Tristan just turned over and continued sleeping.
'Oh forget it!' Hana turned to leave the room and heard soft purring from her room. She knew right away that Mew-mew was having her usual afternoon catnap.
Hana ran down the stairs and picked up the receiver.
******************************************************* Hana: "Back. Tristan is sleeping and not even an earthquake could wake him up."
Téa: "Oh well, I guess it's only us girls. Meet me at the front of the arcade."
Hana: "K, see you in awhile." ***********************************************************
Hana replaced the receiver back and grabbed her jean jacket and purse.
She was about to open the front door but soon remembered the disturbing loud snoring from upstairs. She knew if she left without telling Tristan, she would get in major trouble and Tristan will probably have a heart attack for how overprotected he is with Hana. So, Hana decided to leave a note. She grabbed a napkin and quickly scribbled:
Hi Tristan!! Went to the arcade with the rest of the girls. Be back later!!!! ^_~ -Hana
She left it on the kitchen table then left to the arcade.
~*~
The violet eyed girl kept on running so swiftly that she tripped right into the arms of a young brown eyed boy.
"Oh I'm so sorry." But when Hana looked up, she was surprised at what she saw.
It turned out to be no other than Joey Wheeler.
As soon as their eyes met, more than just a love connection began.
***********Hana's P.O.V. *********************** 'Joey...... I look up to find Joey and when my glittering eyes met his brown ones, I couldn't help but blush. But it was more than just a color shade across my face. My heart was racing, my legs were melting, my lips were quivering. All I can do is get lost in his mesmerizing eyes. I can feel both of our hearts pumping at an incredible speed. I can tell he felt the same. I couldn't help myself but close my eyes, take a deep breath and..' *************************************************
"Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!" Hana screamed as she escaped the embrace.
A dumbfounded Joey looked down at her.
"Hana are you okay?!" Joey yelled looking worried.
Hana then realized that she just bumped right into him and got this weird feeling while Joey did nothing but catch her and apologize for bumping right into her. Joey was just confused while Hana was the only one that felt this. Just her imagination playing tricks on her.
"Hana.. what's a matter? I catch you and you start screaming." Joey said slowly looking down a frightened teen.
"I-I got to go." With that, Hana continued running, not looking back, leaving a bewildered teen.
'Am I going nuts?! Only I felt that, Joey didn't. Oh gosh. This love thing is taking over me.' Hana was so deep in thought that she didn't noticed bumping right into a blond haired woman.
"Watch where you're going!" the woman yelled at the violet eyed.
"I'm sorry." Hana said getting tired of bumping right into people.
"Oh it's you Hana." The woman said plainly for she turned out to be Miss. Valentine.
"Mai! Oh sorry for bumping into you I mean I bumped right into Joey before then I got this weird feeling and.." Hana was shaking as sweat rolled down her forehead.
"With Joey! I mean you said you were feeling weird?" Mai was angry Joey and Hana met again but she tried to cool down.
"Yeah I had been having love issues. I-I.. I got to go." Hana was about to leave but somebody pulled her arm.
"But wait Hana. You said love issues. Well I can help you with that." Mai said who the one that pulled Hana's arm was.
"It's okay; really I mean I already talked to Tristan about it." Hana had no plans to stay there with Mai.
"Nonsense, guys give the worst advice about a strong feeling like love. Besides, I bet he hasn't told you the secret about Joey."
"The secret about Joey?" Hana looked up at Mai confusingly but had much interest in what Mai has to say.
"Oh of course, I know because Joey and I was a very tight couple. I'll tell it to you over a cup of coffee." Mai grabbed the young teen's arm and began dragging her. Hana very much was interested so she let herself be dragged. As for Mai, she had a mischievous glint twinkling in her eyes.
~*~
"Hmm. I wonder where Hana is. She said she will meet us here but it's past four." The young brunette said to her best friend, as she glanced at her digital watch.
"She will probably be here soon Téa. Well I hope; the arcade closes soon because they need to get most of the games fixed. Electrical problems." Serenity replied to the sapphire eyed.
"Yeah let's wait a few more minutes then."
~*~
The young teen and the woman entered the small coffee shop which smelled of coffees of every assortment.
The blond haired woman led the violet eyed to a small table with only two chairs.
As Hana sat down, she wondered what "Joey's Secret" was.
Mai flipped her long, blond hair and winked at a college guy who was drinking his cappuccino.
"So what is this secret of Joey's you speak of Mai?"
"Oh yeah, well...." Mai sat down as the glint in her eyes became more mischievous.
"Joey and I was a very close couple practically married already for all I know. I loved him and he loved me. As we grew closer, I knew everything about him and trust me honey, not everything about wonder boy is as great as it seems."
"Any drinks sweeties," said a woman in her early sixties with short, gray hair and icy blue eyes. She was a bit smaller than the two girls sitting at the table but even how tiny she is, she was an elderly with a heart of gold.
Hana decided to answer since Mai just rolled her eyes showing no respect for the elder woman. Anyways, Hana does want to meet more people in this city of Domino and the waitress seemed like a good start.
"A coffee for me and Miss. Valentine would want..."
"Just water, coffee and all of the other junk they sell here ruins my teeth." Mai answered who was defiantly the kind of woman that mostly cares about outer beauty.
"Now Mai, won't you want a cappuccino. What happened to your usual order of coffee and salty crackers? I never see you around here anymore," The elder woman said with her hands on her hips.
"Whatever Molly, just give me some water and coffee for the girl. You're getting very annoying and I'm getting impatient." Mai said rather rudely, rolling her violets.
"No respect," the elder mumbled under her breath. She then turned to Hana and smiled greatly. "Now I haven't seen you around here. You're new?"
Hana nodded and returned the smile. "I'm Hana Taylor. I moved here from Tokyo. Nice to meet you Miss.."
"Molly Jennings but you can just call me Molly. Don't need to be older than I am already."
"You have any other drinks than coffee Molly. Any malt drinks?"
"Of course, we sell milkshakes if you want any."
"Chocolate malt will be more like it."
"Sure thing sweetie," the elderly then sigh sadly.
"What's a matter Mol?" the violet eyed asked right away noticing the grief in Molly's voice.
"I'm going to miss this little coffee shop. I'm retiring soon but I'll be moving back to Canada to live with my daughter." She then smiled, and patted Hana's head. "Glad such a sweetheart like you is here to comfort me on my last days of work. You kind of remind me of my daughter with your big, glittering eyes full of joy and kind smile."
Hana smiled back glad she can comfort Molly. "Glad I'm here too."
"Could you guys like hurry up?! You two are just wasting valuable time that doesn't need to be wasted like this." Mai snapped angrily getting even more impatient by the second.
"Time? Oh no, I'm suppose to meet Téa and Serenity at the front of the arcade." Hana said quickly as she got up but Mai jagged her to sit back down.
"I still haven't talk to you Hana. The friendship preacher and crybaby can wait." Mai said not wanting Hana to leave until she hears about "Joey's Secret".
"I better get to those drinks. Be back in a jiffy." The elderly turned and disappeared behind the counter.
"Anyways, what I was saying before I was interrupted by that old crow is that there is only one word that describes the deceiving Joseph Wheeler."
"Oh and what word is that Mai?" Hana became less interested in the subject and became more anxious to leave to meet her friends.
"Player."
Hana's heart almost stops pumping. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. So, maybe it was true. Joey was maybe another player lurching girls to him just to break their hearts.
"A-a player?!" Hana said the word slowly and in disgust.
Mai grinned wickedly to herself but remained looking sad to Hana.
Molly returned with the drinks and seeing a silence had uneasily settled between Mai and Hana, left without a sound.
Hana breathe slowly and asked, with her heart pumping very unhurriedly, "Was that the reason you guys broke up?"
Mai was outraged. She stood too swiftly that the table got knocked over, leaving a mess of water and chocolate malt on the tile floor. "WE DIDN'T BREAK UP TAYLOR AND IF YOU THINK HE'S ALL YOUR'S THEN THINK AGAIN!!!!!!!!!"
Her scream brought the whole coffee shop to be quiet with everybody staring. "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?!!!" She turned and left the shop leaving an embarrassed and angry Hana.
Hana slowly stood up and uneasily walked to Molly who was staring from behind the counter. She opened her purse and pulled out a couple of dollars. She looked down at the floor embarrassed and pushed the money to Molly.
"H-here's the money for both drinks. Sorry for what happened. I'll really stay to clean up the mess but I'm supposed to meet a couple of my friends at the arcade and I'm kind of late. I'm sor-"
She was interrupted by a pat on her head from the elder. She smiled sweetly and said, "Don't worry about the mess honey. Just go run along and have fun with your friends."
Hana looked up surprised Molly forgave her.
The violet eyed smiled greatly to the blue eyed. "You're the best Mol."
Hana turned and ran out of the shop leaving confused customers.
Molly turned to the customers and said in a stern tone, "Okay, people this is a coffee shop not a library so get back to your businesses."
~*~
"Téa, we should really call Hana. The arcade is close and it's already pass five." The young teen said feeling worried about Tristan's cousin.
"Yeah we should but..."
"But what?"
"Your stupid brother lost my cell, remember?" Téa said feeling even more angry that Joey lost her cell phone.
"Oh yeah and I just remembered that even if any of us had a phone, none of us has her cell number and now we don't have a phone making Tristan's number useless."
"Yeah, let's head back to the game shop and call Tristan. Man, he's probably worried."
Serenity then gasped. "Téa what if Hana got kidnapped! She's probably injured or...." Serenity couldn't continue.
"Serenity! Hana's not dead! Or I hope she isn't. C'mon we have to go back to the game shop."
"Right!"
The two teenage girls ran to the game shop as gray clouds formed in the darkening sky.
~*~
Hana kept on running at a top pace as rain poured down.
'Just my luck.'
The raindrops came down harshly, blinding the young teen.
'Ugh now I can't see. Great.' The young teen cursed loudly as it got colder and freezing winds were slapping her.
Lightning streak into the black sky and thunder pondered into Hana's ears.
Hana groaned and blindly tried to cross the street. Thunder blasted even louder in her ears and she was deaf from the upcoming car coming her way. The car, however, gotten strangely faster, feet away from the young violet eyed.
The car came crashing right into Hana. The girl flipped and collided into the windshield falling unconscious.
The driver didn't pay no mind and continued driving in the darken night.
~*~
'Geez, I wonder what was wrong with Hana? Oh well, she must be going crazy from what happened yesterday. Well, better head back to the game shop.'
The blond hair teen jumped into puddles on the sidewalk till a large unmovable heap on the street caught his eye. He soon noticed it was a person lying unconscious as he moved closer.
His eyes widen when he saw that the knocked out girl was no other than Hana Taylor.
"Hana!" he screamed as he slipped his one arm under her legs and the other under her arms. Her head rested on his chest and Joey ran across the street.
In a flash, Joey ran to the game shop where he knew it would much more comforting to the teenage girl that was slowly slipping into a coma.
~*~
"I wondered where the girls are." Yugi asked Duke. "It's starting to rain and it isn't friendly either."
Duke shrugged then remembered Serenity left too. "I should go look for them. I don't want Tristan to have Serenity."
Yugi sweat drop then remembered that Téa was with Serenity. 'I hope Téa is okay too.'
'Don't worry Yugi. I'm sure Téa is alright.' Yami, who was resting in his soul room, said to Yugi.
'I hope so.'
Yami sighed then returned to his soul room. As soon as he left, the front door flew open.
Two wet and tired teenage girls walked in as a freezing wind entered the room.
"Téa!" Yugi yelled happily glad that she finally came.
"Serenity!" Duke ran up to Serenity and hugged her from behind. "I'm glad you're here my dear sweet Serenity. Now together we could be happy and merry."
"Oh get away from me Duke." Serenity coughed pushing Duke away from her.
Yugi looked around confused. "Where are Hana and Tristan?"
"Hana never came and Tristan wasn't going to come." Téa replied as she closed the door.
"Hey, where's Joey?" Serenity asked seeing Joey was nowhere to be seen.
"He went out for a walk. He said he was coming back soon." Yugi answered his best bud's younger sister.
"Geez, it's really getting harsh out there. I better call Tristan. Maybe Hana went back home." Téa picked up the phone and was about to punch in Tristan's house number but stopped when the door was forced opened.
In came a tired and soak to the skin blond, cradling an unconscious brown haired in his arms.
When the sapphire eyed saw the scene and quickly realized it was Joey carrying Hana who was now in coma, dropped the phone and fear filled her widened eyes as she stared at Joey speechless and open-jawed.
Téa finally sputtered out, "What happened Joey?!"
"No time to explain guys. Let's take Hana upstairs." this was all Joey said as he carried Hana up the stairs.
He slowly and carefully placed the violet eyed on the worn out couch. Grandpa Motto, who was just sitting down watching a football game asked the blond, "What happened to the poor girl Joey?"
Joey sat down on the floor next to Hana and sighed, "I found her blackout on the street, gramps. She must have gotten hit by a car."
Joey then sprang up with his fist curled. "Whoever hit Hana is so stupid! How can't they feel that they just ran over a girl?! When I find out who did this to her, I'm going to beat their ass!"
"Joey calm down! It isn't their fault if they couldn't see her in the rain!" Téa shouted angrily at Joey mad he wasn't thinking but just blaming the driver. She was followed by the rest of the worried teens.
"Yeah but they can't feel they just ran into a human being! Then I guessed it isn't their fault either and it's just the rain!"
"Stop it guys! Arguing doesn't help us!" Serenity scolded the two fighting teens.
"Humph. Anyways, I'll go call Tristan he must be worried sick." With that, Téa turned and left to make her phone call.
~*~
The brown haired teenage boy continued on sleeping peacefully. He turned over in his bed and mumbled happily, "Oh yes Serenity! I WILL marry you!" He was obviously dreaming about him and Serenity.
He turned over again, this time too far, and rolled off the bed with a loud thud.
"Oohhhh, man. Why do I have to wake up when I was having such a great dream?" He got up and looked around feeling the uneasiness in the silence.
"Hana! Oh Hana! Where are you?!" Tristan decided to scan around the house for his cousin.
He walked into the kitchen which was the last room he looked in and just as panic rose into him, found the napkin with Hana's note.
He crunched the napkin into a ball and threw it into the trash. He yelled, in rage, "How can she leave when there's a storm out?!" A thunder boom and the telephone ringed. Tristan picked it up on the first ring.
************Tristan's and Téa's phone conversation**************
Tristan: "Hana?!"
Téa: "Tristan?! Oh glad you're awake! Look Tristan, an accident just happened."
Tristan: "Wha?! Téa?! What kind of accident?! Where's Hana?!"
Téa: "Tristan, Hana..." (A silence formed for Téa couldn't bear to tell him the news.)
Tristan: "What happened to Hana, Téa?!" (Tristan was getting very impatient.)
Téa: "She's... She's gotten hit by a car Tristan."
Tristan: "What?! Stop lying Téa! This isn't a joke! Where is Hana?!!!"
Téa: "You think this is a prank?! I'm telling the truth Tristan! Hana got hit by a car! Don't worry though; she's here at the game shop still unconscious."
Tristan: "What???!!!!!!! Why isn't she at the hospital???!!!"
Téa: "Calm down Tristan! Just come over here right away!"
Tristan: "Oh I will and when I come over there; I'm going to kill you for not even being there for her! What kind of friend are you for not even seeing an upcoming car coming your way??!!! Weren't you and Serenity with her??!!!"
Téa: "But Tristan, Hana nev-"
***************************************************
Tristan hanged up enraged of the news and just talking and not doing anything. He picked up Mew-mew, who just down from her nap, and ran out to the car.
~*~
The young sapphire eyed sigh as she sat down next to Yugi. "He hanged up. Poor guy is worried."
"I know you're worried too, Téa. Don't worry cause you're not the only one. Look at Joey." Yugi soothed placing his hand on her shoulder. Téa managed a weak smile then glance over to Joey.
He was sitting right next to Hana holding her hands looking at the poor girl with a sober expression.
'Why does this have to happen to her? Why? Why now when she's just getting use to Domino? Why? Hana..' Joey gave a little squeeze to her hand and to his surprise she returned the squeeze. A candle of hope lighted inside of him for he knew Hana was listening to every word in his mind.
Just then, the door flew opened and a worried brown haired ran next to his cousin. Joey quickly released Hana's hands and let Tristan to have his own time with Hana.
Tristan embraced his cousin as rage and panic took over him. Tears were in his eyes for anybody will cry when their loved one was just hit by a car.
Serenity placed her hand on Tristan's shoulder and said, also with tears in her eyes, "Tristan, she wasn't with us. If she was, we would have all been there for her and we still are. Téa and I will never let harm get to each other and I'm sure she will do the same."
Tristan turned and hugged Serenity, for both were filled with fear.
"Okay everybody, clear the way. No wonder she can't wake up cause you're not giving her air." The teens turned and moved over to find Grandpa Motto wearing white rubber gloves and dressed as a doctor.
"Grandpa, you're going to aid Hana?" Yugi asked confused.
"Of course I am my grandson. You want to bring her to a useless hospital while you have me?"
Grandpa then checked Hana's temperature and noticed several cuts.
"Is she going to be okay Mr. Motto?" Serenity asked as she watched grandpa get up and take his gloves off.
"She's going to be just fine Serenity. She's just running on a high fever and there are bruises here and there." Grandpa Motto then turned to the other teens. "You kids better head home. It's getting late and the storm is getting worse."
"No way and leave her?" Joey said not wanting to leave Hana left behind.
"Nu-uh." Serenity simply said, in the arms of Tristan.
"If you think I'm leaving my cousin behind, then you're wrong." Tristan said who of course wasn't going to leave his cousin's side.
"I'm not going anywhere." Duke said.
"I'm staying right here." Téa said.
"I'm not leaving my friend's side. Besides grandpa, you can't kick me out of my own house." Yugi said.
"You kids are the best. I'm glad Hana has friends like you guys." Grandpa then turned and said, "I'll call your parents to tell them you're coming home late?"
Serenity's eyes widened as she got an idea. "Hey, why don't we have a sleepover?"
"Yeah that's a great idea. It could be a party." Téa answered happily.
"But wait.." Nobody would let grandpa speak.
They were already getting pillows and blankets ready. Grandpa just couldn't have six teens partying all night long with one teen knocked out. That would be a disaster.
*******Grandpa Motto's imagination ********************
"Omigosh, Téa look at this guy in this magazine! He's so hot!" Serenity giggled pointing to a tall, dark, and very good-looking guy sitting on the hot summer beach.
"Oooohhhhh, he's so dreamy!" Téa replied walking over to Serenity with a glass of soda.
"I won the duel Tristan so pay up." Joey growled at his best friend.
"Make me." Was all the angry Tristan said.
"You wanna fight big guy!" Joey jumped Tristan as they began punching and kicking each other.
"Well hello Serenity. Glad I'm going to spend the night with you." Duke then pulled the teen closer forcing a kiss on her lips.
"Ewwwwwww!!!! Get away from me you ass!!!!!!" Serenity screamed slapping Duke's face.
"C'mon Yugi. Let's have our own private time." Téa said in a seductive tone.
"Umm, maybe just a kiss on the cheek?" Yugi said slowly.
"Yugi..." Téa said grinning pulling Yugi.
"Give me the money stupid!" Joey yelled at Tristan.
"Yeah right like I'll give you the money!" Tristan shouted punching Joey in the stomach.
Grandpa gasped when he saw Hana was lifeless.
"Oh my god!!!"
************************************
It turned out Grandpa's yell was real for the teens looked up at him confusingly.
"What's a matter grandpa? It's okay to let them sleepover right?" Yugi asked his grandpa, bewilder.
"Oh of course, it's all right Yugi." Grandpa said simply. "Now I'm going to bed. Wake me up if Hana wakes up. Don't want to hear a sound from you kids. Got it?"
"Yes Grandpa Motto!!!!!!!" the teens chorused happily.
Grandpa sighed and mumbled under his breath, "Noisy kids." He left into his bedroom and closed the door.
As for the teens, they didn't plan to have a wild party. They decided to have a nice quiet one, with checking up on Hana and having little snacks while telling stories. Everybody was actually enjoying it, even Tristan who wasn't in much rage anymore. But Joey kept watch on Hana practically every five minutes for he never wanted to leave her side.
Serenity walked to her brother and placed her hand on his shoulder, looking down on him with a sweet smile. "Don't worry Joey. I'm sure Hana will do just fine. Look at Tristan. He practically had a heart attack for all I know and he's trying to cool down cause he knows his baby cousin will do just fine. We are all trying to have some fun but at heart we are all worried about her. So c'mon Joey, have a drink and have some fun but that doesn't mean you have forgotten about Hana."
Silence came from the blond and his younger sister let out a sigh and walked back to Tristan's side.
"Poor guy," Téa whispered to Serenity drinking her orange soda. "He never wants to leave her side. He cares for Hana so much."
"Ya, he has a huge crush on her," Serenity winked at Téa as the sapphire eyed giggle.
"Oooooooo, really? He told you?"
"Oh please Téa. He doesn't need to tell you for you to figure out. But I did make him tell me something."
"Oh true. He and Hana were having a blast yesterday. Oh hey, what did he tell you?"
"Well........." Serenity laid back and closed her eyes, remembering the conversation she had with her older brother last night.
*********Serenity's and Joey's conversation (last night) *******************
Serenity stretched and let out a little yawn. "I'm so tired Joey. We had so much fun today. Tristan's cousin, Hana, is the best and I can't wait till our next band practice. That was strange what happened today. One minute Hana is singing, the next she's fainted. Probably just tired from all of the excitement." Serenity then yawned again and flopped onto the bed.
As for her brother, he was deep in thought as in thinking. He finally looked up and said in a quiet tone, "I'm really worried about Hana. I hope she's okay; maybe I should call her."
A small smirk formed on Serenity's lips. "Oooooooo, is Joey Wheeler in love?"
Joey then glared at his sister but her face expression didn't change. Joey then sighs and was about to leave but Serenity's comment made him stop.
"Oh c'mon Joey; fine I'll be nice. What do you think of the new girl?" Serenity asked rolling her eyes.
"She's a great gal actually. I'm going to ask her to the spring dance."
"Yaaaaaaay!!!!! My brother actually has a girlfriend!!!!!" Serenity exclaimed joyfully jumping behind Joey and hugging his neck.
"Get off me!!!! You're choking me!!!" Joey shoved his younger sister onto the side. "Serenity; Hana and I just met. She's not my girlfriend but she's just going to be my partner for the dance."
"Girlfriend." Serenity corrected, giggling.
Joey turned to his sister and cocked his right eyebrow. "Anyway, if she was my girlfriend, she's isn't my first. You do remember Mai was also my girlfriend, right?"
"Yeah right, barely. The number of dates you guys had was zero. The time you guys went to the movies doesn't count cause you guys did nothing. All you did was watching the movie and that's it. You guys didn't even talk; and it was a horror movie. I expected Mai to jump on you when the monster in the movie popped out of nowhere and started screaming and eating people. But you were the one that screamed and still Mai didn't talk to you. You guys didn't talk at all. Not even in the car. So you guys were never a couple and probably never will be since you have Hana now." Serenity said quickly sitting up and rolling her eyes.
"Hey, wait.." Joey then stopped and was once again, thinking. He finally turned to his sister and yelled, "How did you knew all of that happened?!"
"Oh, ehe." Serenity sweat dropped and rubbed her head. "Well I was just watching you guys."
"What?! You were spying weren't you?!!!!!!!"
"I said I was just watching. It isn't my fault if I happened to be watching the same movie as you guys at the same time."
"Anyway, how did you got out of the house? Weren't you grounded for eating all of the chocolate syrup right out of the bottle and making a mess?"
"No Joey that was you and when dad figured out you sneaked out of the house, you were grounded for three weeks plus the other three weeks."
"Then how do you know about the quietness in the car?"
"Easy. I threw myself in the back of the car and I even sneaked into the theaters."
"You wha??!!!"
"Hey, I wasn't the only one involved!! Téa was there too!!!"
***************************************************************
"Hey wait, I was never included there!!! I never even knew Joey and Mai were on a date!!!!!!!" Téa yelled confusingly at Serenity.
"Hey I couldn't take all the blame!" Serenity let out a fake laugh while Téa sweat dropped.
Téa sighed and lay back down and briskly said, "Whatever, Serenity. What else happened?"
"Well..."
*************************************************
"Serenity!!!" Joey yelled angrily.
"Well I had to do something. I was so bored at home."
"Whatever Serenity, I'm going to take a shower."
"Joey?" Serenity said in a sweet tone to her brother.
"What is it sis?"
"You do have a crush on Hana? Don't you? You seemed so much happier with her than with Mai." Serenity's voice was still honey-covered but she was serious, (and curious).
Joey sighed and sat back down on the bed. "Yeah, I guess I do. She's really pretty with those large, glittering violet eyes of hers and her soft, brown hair.." Joey then was dazed thinking about the new comer's inner and outer beauty.
"Yaaaaaaaaaaayyyy!!!!!! Then my brother does have a girlfriend!!!!" Serenity jumped once again and hugged her brother's neck from behind.
"Serenity!!!! Get off me!!!!!"
******************************************
"Yup, so as you can see, Joey has feelings for this girl," Serenity yawned.
"Yeah, I guess." Téa pulled out her pillow and with a yawn, fell into a deep sleep.
Everybody was sound asleep except for the blond haired, who continued holding Hana's cold hands and watching her with care.
