Yami: O.o What? Can't upload properly?
YEAH! WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT ANYWAYS?! GRRR~!
And we have a new layout! I know it didn't change anything much... But I hope you people like it! ^.^
"Varon was caught tickling Amelda (...?!) on April 14, 10:53 am, Australian time..."
Jou: O.o Whoa! What's up with that?
Hehe... I decided to change it to make it look funnier... Remember the "Finding Varon"? Well, I derived it from there so we can keep track of the hooker every single day. So we know what he's up to...
Yami: But what about the issue above?
I can't upload my chapter properly!! . I hate it... I should find a way to fix this!! Anyways, it's Mai's episode!! Whee~! Yami Marik erases the memory of Tea in Mai's mind! Oh well, I guess it's kinda better for her...
Tea: HEY!!
^.^UU And now... he erases the memory of... OH NO!! WHAT'S THIS?! OH MY GULAYSIS, JOEY WINKED AT ME??!?!??!?!?! *faint*
Jou: ^.^UU
Yami: -.- He didn't wink at you... When Yami Marik destroys the Unfriendly Amazon, he was able to erase the memory of Joey in her mind.
Oh... ^.^UUU Hehe... Let's say Joey winked at Mai, OK? So, Yami Marik erases Joey from Mai's mind!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~! THIS CAN NOT BE!!! IMPOSSIBLE!! Now Mai is hopeless to love somebody again! *wails* *sobs* Anyways, I want to post up this really long EDIT TIME. It's not funny, but it's about the Jou/Mai relationship... And, let's just pretend that Joey has a yami, OK?? OK...
EDIT TIME~~! (I'm not so sure about the script...)
Yami Marik: Watch as I destroy your Unfriendly Amazon, along with your memories! *evil cackle*
*Yami Marik's monster attacked the Unfriendly Amazon. When she was destroyed, a faint image of Joey appeared.*
Mai: Not Joey!!!!
*The image looked at her and winked (A/N: *faint*). Mai stared at the image as she saw the memories of her childhood...*
Mai: When I was just a kid, I was so alone. My parents died so early (A/N: This is the real story, OK?), so I have to experience life all alone, without anybody to support me...
(A/N: YADDA, YADDA, let's just go to the scene where Mai meets Joey and friends...)
But when I met Joey and his friends, I had this feeling... It was so strange. It's like I always want to be with them. I was always curious of what friendship really is! Then, I found myself stuck with them...
*Scene of Joey and friends sitting by the campfire. Joey's being goofy again. We see him trying to imitate Seto. Then he noticed Mai looking intently at him. He smiled (A/N: *faint*) at her.*
It was so unusual for me to meet such friendly people... Then, I realized... I befriended him... That doofus... Why is he always in my mind? But... I don't want my memory of him to be erased!!
*Now we can see the image of Joey smiling at her right into her eyes. She was nearly crying as Yami Marik erased the memory of Joey inside her mind...*
Mai: Why... do... I feel... so... empty...?
*She fell on her knees. Joey called out to her.*
Joey: Mai, snap out of it!! You can beat that creep!!
*She heard his voice. She stared at Joey like he wasn't even there. She tried to look into him, but all she see is mist surrounding a familiar figure that she couldn't figure out...*
Mai: That voice... it sounds so... familiar... But why...? Why... can't I figure out... whose voice that was...?
*Mai just looked at him blankly. Joey became worried. Inside him, his yami can't bear to look at the stare of his beloved's (A/N: Awww!! *sniffle*) eyes. Joey looked at Yami worriedly.*
Joey: What's happening to Mai? Why is she like that? Why did she stare at me like I wasn't... *bows head* even there...?
Yami: With every monster Marik destroys on Mai's side of the field, the memories of the people in her mind are also being destroyed, along with the monsters being sent to the graveyard... Remember when Mai was able to destroy her Witch (A/N: I dunno what's the name...) with her own Unfriendly Amazon? Since the Witch was ORIGINALLY her monster, it means that Marik would be able to erase somebody from her mind... First was Tea.
Joey: But why can't she remember me anymore?
Yami: Because Marik was able to defeat her Amazon, she lost the memory of you.
*Joey stared at him, horrified of the truth. He looked back at her, and felt his eyes water at the look of her face. Blank stares... she looked so hopeless. His Yami can't take it anymore. He screamed in agony inside his hikari's mind.*
Yami J.: I can't take this anymore!! I want... to get out of here!!
*He turned away, his tears flowing down his face. Joey can feel his yami's pain, so he walked away. Tea noticed him.*
Tea: Joey!! Where are you going?! Mai needs our support!
Joey: S-Sorry, Tea... It's only yami-and-hikari talk... I'll come back...
*He walked away into the shadows. His friends can hear a faint sniffle in the corner. Tristan looked at his grieving friend worriedly.*
Tristan: Man, the loss of his part in Mai's memories sure hit him badly...
Yami: I know...Mai is his friend. Mai supported him all the way. He can't bear to see his friends suffer...
Tea: Can you do anything about it, Yugi?
Yami: I should try... Anyways, two can play this game...
*His Millennium Puzzle glowed. He tried to enter Mai's mind. Inside her mind, Mai was wandering aimlessly in the darkness, Yami Marik staring at her with an evil, smug smirk on his face. Then a light appeared. Yami appeared in the light. Mai felt the light and looked back.*
Mai: Yugi?
Yami: Mai, don't be fooled. All of this are illusions.
Mai: But... why does it feel so real?
Yami: Because this duel is being played in the Shadow Realm. But remember, your friends will be always there for you. You will win this duel and defeat Marik!
Mai: Thanks, Yugi...
*Then, another light appeared. It was blinking intently, and Mai heard the voice again.*
The Familiar Voice (which is Joey's): I know she can do this... Mai will beat Marik, and all of the memories of her friends will come back to her!! I know she can do it, Yami... I know she could...
Mai: That voice again... I know that voice...
*Now we see Joey convincing his yami in the corner...*
Joey: Believe me. She can get through this. She can't turn back now!
Yami J.: You don't know, do you...?
Joey: What? I know you care for her as much as I do! She's our friend! We can't let anything happen to her!
*Yami J. just looked at him, very worriedly. He was frowning darkly. He turned his face away.*
Yami J.: Joey... you just don't understand... I know you care a lot for Mai... But for me... It's more than that... I can't let her lose her memories of her friends, especially you!
Joey: I...I-I know...
Yami J.: You see, Joey, in your past life... you were me, right?
Joey: *nods* Yes.
Yami J.: It's time to tell you some truth about me... I loved a girl named Mahya (A/N: Now, let's pretend she's the past life Mai...)... I loved her all my life, and she loved me back. It was so perfect. But nothing was much more perfect than our marriage... She accepted my hand in marriage, and became my wife, my host, my life...
*We see a flashback of a beautiful woman who looked a lot like Mai, only younger. She was smiling at the past-time Joey, who was smiling back. Then, they kissed, declaring that they're married. Now the scene goes back to the conversation of the hikari and his yami.*
Yami J.: It's just that... Joey... I can't bear to see her like that because I love her so much... My love for her was larger than sun, larger than the universe, maybe even larger than life... She loved me like I do... *looks at Joey* And now, it's your duty to protect her. If anything bad happens to her, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself...
*His tears flowed out from his eyes as he looked at his hikari, who was staring back at him with shock. He was also blushing furiously.*
Joey: You mean... In my past life which is you... I married... the... PAST LIFE OF MAI??!??!?!?!
Yami J.: Yes.
Joey: *stuttering* *blushing furiously* But... History is to repeat itself...
Yami J.: Yes. And you will marry her someday. It's your destiny!
Joey: *very, VERY, VERY, red*
Yami J.: Now come, aibou. We've got to save her from this shadow game...
Joey: *stuttering* *still VERY red* But I thought you yamis can use your powers to get rid of the shadow realm?
Yami J.: My apologies, Joey, but I do not own any of the Millennium items. I was awakened in your mind when Marik controlled you with his M. Rod. So I can't do anything about it. The only thing we can do is to remind her of the memories of her friends.
Joey: *looking serious* OK, let's do it...
*Joey ran back to his friends. But he was too late... A glowing golden sphere was floating in the middle of the dueling arena. Yami Marik was looking smug while Mai was staring at the sphere very worriedly. In the other side of the ring, Seto was very excited.*
Seto: Mai is a very good duelist, but let's see if she can control the awesome power of a God Card...
*Joey stared in horror at the sphere. In his mind, his Yami was looking very aghast. Joey fell down to his knees, and pounded his fist on the floor.*
Joey: This can't be...
Yami: Joey, what's wrong?
Joey: I... was too late.... I was too late of saving her!!!
Duke: But Mai seems to have the upper hand now...
Joey: No... The Winged Dragon of Ra is too powerful for her... It needs to be specially summoned...
Yami: Specially summoned...?
Joey: Yeah... But since she didn't, she's in grave danger!! WHY DID I LET HER DO THIS?! I was so stupid... I made her angry before this duel... I disappointed her... Why...
*He continued pounding his fist on the floor. Tristan and Duke ran over him and stopped him from damaging it more badly.*
Tristan: Dude, what's wrong with you?!
Duke: Mai will win this duel! She just have to figure out how to summon the God card!
Joey: No... There's no way she'll know it... She'll make the gods angry...
Tea: Joey, what's wrong with you?!
Yami: I think I know what he is talking about. There must be some kind of chant she needed to summon the god...
(A/N: OK, this is going very long. Let's just summarize it, OK?)
*Mai wasn't able to find a way to summon the card. Marik took this chance to be able to attack Mai and dissipate her of her life points, more importantly, her memories of her friends. She looked so hopeless. Joey was freaking out. He doesn't know what to do too... In his mind, his Yami was telling him to move and free Mai. He can't hear him yelling at him because he was so worried about her. Then he moved his legs and went up the ring. He tried to move the chains that was binding Mai.*
Joey: Don't worry, Mai... I'll save you...
Seto: Wheeler! Get down from there!
Joey: *heard Seto* You can disqualify me if you want to, and I wouldn't care... All that matters is that... Mai is going to be alright!
*Seto looked at him unbelievingly as he tried to take out the chains that held Mai. He never actually saw somebody saving somebody from a great danger. He never saw somebody care so much for somebody else. Seeing this makes his cold heart melt. He needed somebody to save him from danger, somebody who cares for him... But he never thought he set his eyes on the mutt (A/N: Sorry, Jou!!!)... While Seto was still staring at Jou, Mai was awoken by Joey's yelling.*
Mai: That voice... it's there again...
Joey: Mai! Don't you remember me? It's me, Joey!!
Mai: Jo... ey...? That name sounds so familiar...
Joey: MAI! SNAP OUT OF IT!! Please... don't you remember me? I'm your friend, and you're my friend too, don't you know that?
Mai: F... friend? What... is... a... friend?
*Joey took a step back, staring anxiously at Mai. She had really forgotten about him and all her other friends. But he hasn't given up yet...*
Joey: Mai... don't you remember any of your memories?
Mai: But... I don't know what memories are...
Joey: They're... light and warm... feels good inside... Just like a friend. They make you feel light and warm, and they always make you feel good... Don't you remember any of your friends and their memories of them inside your mind?
Mai: Light... and warm...?
*Mai suddenly had a flashback of her walking in the Shadows, when Yami came and told her that she will win this duel and regain her memories. Then that voice, the voice that was so familiar to her, echoed into her mind.*
Familiar Voice (which is Joey's): I know she can do this... Mai will beat Marik, and all of the memories of her friends will come back to her!! I know she can do it, Yami... I know she could...
(Mai's thoughts) That voice... I remember that feeling inside me... It's warm, calm, light... and pleasant... Just like somebody I knew who was so important to me... Is this what the voice calling out to me... "memories"? ...And "friend"...? ...My memories... of my friends...
*Then it struck her... The memory of Joey came back to her mind. She regained consciousness and looked up. She saw Joey looking at her.*
Mai: Joey... is that... you?
*When Joey heard Mai speak his name, he was overjoyed. Inside his mind, Yami Joey sighed in relief. He was very glad to see her regain her memory. Surprisingly (A/N: Not for me... *snickerdesnick*), he threw his arms around her, tears of joy flowing out of his amber orbs (A/N: I always wanted to do that! ^__^).*
Joey: Mai!! Y-You remembered me!! I'm... so happy!
*Mai blushed furiously. In the other side of the field, Marik was shocked by how Mai was able to regain her memory of Joey.*
Yami Marik: Her will is so powerful she was able to overpower the shadows to regain back her memory!! This can not be... She will pay...
*Joey lets go of Mai and placed her hands on her reddening cheeks. He looked at her lovingly.*
Joey: Mai... I'm really happy I'm back at your memory again...
Mai: But Joey! I'm in a middle of a duel! You'll get disqualified!
Joey: I don't care... All I cared about was... saving you...
*Joey went back on hugging her, nuzzling her cheek at the same time. Down to Yugi and the others... Tristan was staring, shocked at all the actions his friend have done.*
Tristan: Whoa... now Joey never EVER acted like that whenever he's near Mai while we're on the lookout...
Tea: *wiping her tears with her napkin* It's... TRUE LOVE!!! (A/N: I know, Tea!! I know!! *sobs*)
Duke: It's like... I'm watching a soap opera... A very romantic one...
Serenity: My big brother... He's in love...
*While Yugi's friends down the ring were shocked at the two blondes on the arena, Yugi smiled at the two of them.*
Yami: *in his thoughts* I'm really proud of you, Joey... I am very proud of you...
*On the other side, Mokuba was clinging to his older brother's leg, crying.*
Mokie: Seto... I can't... watch... If Mai loses this duel, all of her memories will be gone... AND JOEY WILL BE GONE ON HER MEMORIES... FOREVER!!! ...It's too much... *sobs* Seto! Please! Stop the duel!!! *sobs again*
*Seto felt tears in his eyes. Was it tears of pity? (A/N: *stops sobbing* -.- Yeah right...) Or tears of jealousy? (A/N: *evil grin*) All he knew was that his heart was aching, ...Aching as if he was about to lose a special someone in his life, about to find out that his special someone is in love with somebody else...*
Seto: *his thoughts* What am I thinking?! I don't care about that damn mutt!!
*He was about to scream at himself from thinking that when his gaze returned to the blonde. His beautiful face was shiny from all the tears he cried out. His cute, puny nose was partly seen; it was buried on Mai's cheek. His honey-brown eyes were closed, tiny crystals of water can still be seen flowing out of it. And his lips... his rosy lips were curved into a smile... The sight was very remarkable... He wandered in his mind, seeing an image of the blonde puppy hugging him, his face the same as how he was now... He can hear his heart skip a beat... He realized...*
Seto: Or... do I...?
(A/N: Let's skip the scenes, OK?)
*While Joey was still trying to free Mai, Marik took his chance to be able to get back his God Card, and he was able to summon it in the field. All the people stared in shock at the God Card, its awesome power radiating with its golden glow (A/N: Ooooohhhh... shiny...).*
Yami Marik: Savor all this moments, because you are going to be sent into the Shadow Realm, my dear!
Mai: *bows head* This is it, Joey... I will be gone into the Shadows forever... I tried my best to win this duel...
Joey: No, Mai... don't lose hope! I will be there for you...
Mai: Are you... for real, Joey?
Joey: I do...
*He threw his arms once again on her. Then he whispered on her ear...*
Joey: I will be always there for you... Because... I... love you... (A/N: *in a fit of 'aw's)
*Mai felt her eyes grew watery. Then she settled her face on his warm chest... Feeling his warmth of love. He once again whispered into her ear...*
Joey: I'm really, really sorry... I lied to you...
Mai: Why...? What's wrong?
Joey: I told you, you weren't in my dream, remember?
*Mai remembered. She bit her lip, her heart plummeting down. But Joey continued on.*
Joey: I lied to you, ...You WERE on my dream... You helped me get up... And because of you, I was able to win the duel...
*Mai's face brightened up. She settled herself once again on his chest.*
Mai: Oh Joey, thank you so much for telling me the truth... Don't do that again, OK?
Joey: *nods* Yeah... I promise I won't... And... Mai?
Mai: Yes?
Joey: Umm... *blush* Didn't you know, in our past lives, I... Well... I married you?
Mai: *blush* But you think... that's a little off-subject?
Joey: *snicker* I know... But it is destiny, and history is to repeat itself... And someday I will get you out of the shadows and marry you... (A/N: AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWW!!! ISN'T HE SUCH A SWEET BISHIE?!)
*Mai felt her eyes got more watery again.*
Mai: Joey... You don't know how much I...
*But before she finished her statement, she felt Joey's lips on hers... Those cotton-soft lips caressing her own... She felt so warm, calm, light... and pleasant inside... Just like Joey, her beloved. She was in heaven, with him... It was her first kiss... but why should it be her final?*
*Their friends realized what just happened... They were very happy for the two of them. In the other side, Seto silently cried in agony. He realized that he DID care for the puppy, but all he felt after seeing what he did was just... too much for him. A tear silently flowed down his face (A/N: Aw... poor Seto... *sniffle*). Mokuba noticed and looked at him.*
Mokie: Seto... what's wrong?
Seto: Huh...? Oh... nothing, Mokuba...
*Still, he can feel his heart ache painfully...*
*All of the spectators was so distracted by the actions of the two blondes on the field they didn't realize Ra was soaring down towards the two. Yami took notice and went up the ring hurriedly, trying to block the attack and keep it from hitting them.*
Tea: YUGI!
Serenity: Big brother!!
Tristan: Get out of there, Yug'!
Duke: Take cover!!
Mokie: NO!!!!!!!!!!!!
*All Seto did was watch in pain... He just then realized that Marik is attacking when Mokie called out. He cried to himself...*
Seto: Joey...
*But very surprisingly, golden wings fluttered out of Joey's back and protected Yugi and Mai from the attack of the God Card. Screams of pain was heard in the air... Then the lights went out... But Joey can still hear evil cackling before he drifted to unconsciousness...*
*Mai woke up inside a diamond-shaped hourglass. She saw the shore line below her, with lots of people enjoying the warmth of the sun.*
Mai: Where... am I?
*Then a shadow of a person (A/N: More like a monster...) came. It was Marik.)
Yami Marik: Let me answer that question for you, my dear...
Mai: Where did you take me, you creep??!! And what happened to Joey?!
Yami Marik: He will be alright... Especially without you...
Mai: What are you talking about?!
Yami Marik: You are inside the Shadow Realm, my dear. You will see how the world goes without you... Be sure to enjoy yourself while you are here... But first, I will take back what is mine...
*He took the God card that was keeping the sand from falling to her. When he took it, he gave her a smug smirk.*
Yami Marik: Enjoy your stay, my dear... *evil laughter*
*Then he vanished. Mai felt so anxious. When she looked back down to the beach, she saw Yugi and her other friends, all of them enjoying their selves without her there. She felt lonely and all alone. Then Joey came.*
Mai: Joey...
*The memory of him came back once again to her. The nose that nuzzled her cheek, that warm hug and smile he always gave her... the kiss... She felt herself redden. She touched her lips, still feeling how Joey kissed her. She smiled. She looked back at him. He was about to go play in the water when he looked back at the crowd.*
Joey: C'mon now, Mai! Don't be so afraid of the sun!! Are you a vampire or something?
*Mai heard her own voice.*
Mai: Well, last time I checked I wasn't... And it's too hot out there! I don't want my skin to get burned.
Joey: Aw... Mai! Stop thinking about your looks! You're good looking anyways.
*She felt her face grew hot. She listened once again.*
Joey: And the water is cool! It feels nice!!
Mai: Stop being stubborn! I don't want to, and you know it.
Joey: You're very stubborn too! I guess I have to force you...
*He marched back at the sand, grinning evilly. He went back to the crowd, into the pink umbrella and took somebody's hand. It really did turn out to be Mai, and it seemed that she doesn't want to really go out in the sun.*
Mai: JOEY! LET GO OF ME AT ONCE!!!
Joey: Aww... Is Little Miss Mai afwaid of the sun? Is she still a wittle baby?
Mai: Why you!! JOEY, TAKE THAT BACK!!!
*Joey laughed while running from Mai who was chasing him. He was able to get her into the water, and they splashed (A/N: No any other idea... sorry...) each other, giggling. Then Yugi and Tea went over them, trying to dodge the water.*
Yugi: Guys, stop that!
Tea: You're acting half your age!! You two are a married couple and you still act like 10-year-olds!
*The two of them blushed. Mai can feel her cheeks grow hot. Tea sighed.*
Tea: So I guess you two are still fantasizing about your young love life... *shaking head*
Yugi: Tea... don't say that!! Don't worry about her, she's just like that. Anyways... any of you want to eat donuts?
Joey: DONUTS?! I'm in it!!
*Tea and Mai sighed, shaking their heads in disappointment. Yugi was smiling apologetically.*
Yugi: OK, then... I'll go get them. C'mon, Tea!
Tea: See you!
*She ran off with Yugi.*
Joey: I can't wait for them to bring the donuts!! I'm so hungry!!
Mai: Why are you always hungry?
Joey: I dunno! Do you know? *goofy grin at her*
Mai: *sigh* Joey, Joey, Joey... When will you grow up...?
Joey: I already grew up, Mai... I married you, remember?
Mai: But you haven't changed at all!
Joey: ;_; Don't you love me anymore?!
Mai: Of course not, you doofus! Why did I marry you if I didn't?
*She circled her arms around his neck, and kissed him softly (A/N: LIPS!!!).*
Mai: I love you... And I will always do...
*Joey smiled warmly, and he kissed back.*
Joey: I love you too...
*Mai (in the hourglass) touched her lips once again, and muttered...*
Mai: Joey... I really do love you... I do...
*stares* ...WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!! IT'S, IT'S TOO CUTE!!! IT MAKES ME CRY!! *sobs*
Everybody else: -.O
Jou: O.o That's not crying... That's sobbing!!
I know!!! It's too... fluffy!!! I can't help but sob!! You and Mai are so cute together!! I can't help it!!
Jou/Mai: *blush*
And... POOR SETO!!! But Jou's heart is settled for Mai... I don't know who to decide!!! AND TODAY'S EPISODE WAS A CLIFFIE!! AND I HATE CLIFFIES!!! GRRRR~! I JUST HATE IT!!! But I know what's going to happen tomorrow... *evil grin*
