Joey felt so miserable after his Maranda had token the note he cherished from Mai, and ripped it everywhere all over the room, angered that Joey still kept that note from someone he loved along time ago. Joey finally managed to get the last piece together, and did the best he could to revive the note that she turned into bits of confetti. Joey looked outside it was dark already, and pouring rain and remembered the punk girl asking him to met her back at the bar, and he could calm himself down and get his girlfriend Maranda out of the picture. Quickly, he grabbed his keys and headed out the door clearing his thoughts of what happen just happened to poor Joey.

He loved Maranda, but it seemed hard enough to understood if she did. Ever since Joey had met her he had treated her with respect, but in return all he got was orders around, wasting the money on things he could hardly afford for her, and in this case Joey was a dog on a tight leash. He walked through the rain, with his hands shoved in his pockets and his head lowered proceeding through the crowds of people getting in. Sadly, he went straight to the bar and got himself a drink and sadly watched everyone else happy, and him thinking hard about Maranda.

"Maybe my sister and everybody else was right about Maranda. I love her so much and she treats me like I'm nothing to her, only good with my money. All of them knew how she was like, and I had to find out the hard way. Maybe it's time for me to clear my head and decide what's going to happen about her." He finished his last drink as he saw some girl pull up beside him with a smile, and demanded two drinks for himself and her. "Hey, what's amatter with you?" Joey glanced over at the punk girl with a concerned look on her face grabbing the drinks in her hand passing one to Joey. Joey stopped moping and looked up at her with a dim smile that disappeared in a instant. "Just having problems with my girlfriend. She ripped up something meaningful to me, from that girl I use to have a crush on. She sent me a note when she left and I've always kept it. Then she got all mad and jealous and decided she'd rip it in to bits." She flipped her black strains of hair out of her face, and placed her hand underneath Joey's chin. "Hey cheer up. It was a smart thing you came here. Maybe you just got to think things through, that's all. Come on let's go!!" Her eyes lit up when she heard loud screaming music, somehow she was able to pull Joey off the barstool and he reluctantly got up towards the dance floor.

"You need to let loose. This is why I come here so I don't have to give a damn about anything!" She smiled which brought a smile towards Joey, as Joey and her danced insanely on the dance floor for hours and Joey was feeling himself he didn't have Maranda on his mind, only the punk girl who he always looked forward too. Soon a crowd was drawn by these two, and Joey couldn't contain his laughter. To him ever since he met this girl he made him so much happier and didn't have to be so sad or angry about everything.

In the crowds of people his girlfriend was standing there beside Kaiba in her red dress and decided she would have a fun night with him drinking. She was mad at Joey and Kaiba could easily calm her down and for her he knew how to have fun as well. Kaiba glanced over at her as she tried to see what all the hype was about where everyone gathered. He could tell she was mad as anything and hopelessly sat at the bar table ordering so many drinks. "I wonder what's amatter with her, and why she isn't with her mutt boyfriend right now..." Kaiba walked over towards the bar proceeding over to Maranda who rested her head down and her hands angrily gripped over the neck of the beer bottle. "Maranda, what's amatter now? Have you dropped that mutt yet?" Kaiba smirked, as she raised her head looking at the expression on Kaiba's face.

"No I haven't. I found out he still is clinging on to that note of that girl Mai he use to like.." Kaiba nodded as he quickly remembered Mai running out towards the airport and Joey receiving the note that left him blind and sad knowing she was never coming back after the smart comment he had made. Kaiba fixed his long teased brown hair, and placed his arms on her for comfort. "Mai, she was a real beauty but Joey was crushed to her that she had left after what he had said to her. So, what happened with the note?" She flipped her reddish hair and a stunning smirk came over her calm face that surprised Kaiba how arrogant she was. "I decided to rip the note up before his very eyes and walked out on him as he sat there on the bed with a stunned look on his face, with the note ripped before him. He deserved it, sometimes I still think he likes that women more than me." Kaiba smiled back at her starting to understand Maranda bit by bit, and her attitude was beginning to get Kaiba's attention and interest. "I'm starting to believe you never really liked that mutt, Joey am I right?" She was stunned how easily Kaiba could read her mind. She had only used Joey for money, and it was a popular sport for popular girls to pull at the guy's heart strings and steal there cash and use it. "What are you going to tell Joey that Kaiba?!" He laughed as he threw the last of his drink back. "Wheeler and I only talk if we are insulting each other. He's always hated me and he thinks I'm a threat. I won't tell Joey believe me, I wouldn't waste my words on a dumb mutt."

"I knew there was always a lot more to her than she let on.. Joey doesn't deserve her. I deserve her..That mutt won't be on his leash for long.. and when he does he'll come crawling back with puppy-dog look in his eyes and begging on his knees for her back."

AN: Things are about to take a turn for the worse.. you will see...
