Raven: Yipee! Another chapter!
Moonlight: Yipee.
Jamie Lemmings (my best friend in real life): Erm, what's the point of this story?
Raven: Who said there's a point?
Moonlight: Basically, she's using this author's note to tell you that...
Raven: THE MOON IS MADE OF BLUE GELATIN!!!
Jamie Moonlight: (sweatdrop)
Jamie: Anyway, Blue Jello Girl over here does not own Yu-Gi-Oh!...
Moonlight: Good thing, it'd be all soppy-like...
Jamie: or the song "Living on an Island," by Status Quo...
Moonlight: that's too weird for even Raven to own...
Jamie: or my character, Lenne Glass. Sorry I haven't updated my story, Forbidden Feelings, in a while... I'm really busy and have a HUGE mental block.
Raven: Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue jello moon?
Moonlight: (sweatdrop) Let's just get on with it, shall we?
-/- Chapter Two – Isolation in a Group -/-
Easy when you're number one, everybody say you're having fun
Smiling for the public eye, when you're body say you wanna die
Lenne looked up at the school building and sighed. Nothing seemed easy anymore.
Yugi snuck up behind her. "Hey, Lenne!" he yelled, practically in her ear.
"Ouch! Yugi, don't do that!" Lenne said, forcing a smile. She'd gotten good at this lately – though sometimes she thought she just wanted to crawl to a corner and die, she didn't want her friends to worry.
"Sorry Lenne."
Living on an island, looking at another line
As Tristan, Joey, and Tea followed, Lenne tuned out of their conversation. It was amazing how she could feel so isolated in the middle of a group of friends.
"Lenne? Hello? Are you in there?" Tea asked, waving a hand in front of Lenne's face.
Lenne blinked. "Hmm?"
"I just asked you if you were ok. You seem really quiet lately..."
"Oh yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit tired is all."
"Well, if you're sure..." Tea said. The bell rang for homeroom. "Oops, better go. See you all in math!" Tea ducked into her class, and Joey, Tristan, and Yugi went into theirs.
Sitting in homeroom, Lenne sighed. Yes, it was amazing how in such a big place with so many people how she could feel like she was living on an island.
Waiting for my friend to come and we'll get high
She knew why, though, and he was walking through the door. Seto Kaiba.
"Oh, come on, Seto, why not?" asked Raven, following him.
"Look. You know I hate that dog and the others. Sorry, it's my mansion, and you are NOT having a party in it!"
"Come on, Seto! You could stay in the other end of the mansion if you wanted! Besides, Kira thinks it's a good idea!"
Seto froze, and so did Lenne. She knew very well that Kira Yoki was Seto's new girlfriend. It just didn't seem possible that he had someone else so soon after the breakup.
Kira was the happiest person ever at the moment – as happy as Lenne was only three small months ago.
'That's it!' thought Lenne. 'Seto's a drug – like marijuana only more potent. With him, you're high – but I'm in withdrawal.'
Hugh he got a real nice place, Cruxie gonna be there soon
And I just wanna see his face, I'm getting lonely in my empty room
School finally ended, with Seto and Raven still arguing about the party.
"Come on, Seto! You need to socialize more!!!"
"No I don't. Look, I'm dating someone. Isn't that enough?"
Upon hearing this, Lenne ran out of the school. She couldn't stand it anymore.
She got home in five minutes. "Hey, honey," her mother called from the kitchen. "How was school?"
"It was ok. Nothing special."
Lenne didn't like lying to her mom, but what choice did she have? She went upstairs to her room. Lenne flung her backpack over the chair in front of her desk, and flopped on the bed. "It's too empty in here..." she thought aloud.
- Flashback -
Lenne and Seto sat on her bed. "Tonight was great, Seto..." Lenne sighed, putting her head on his shoulder.
"I liked it too. But what made it special was being with you, Lenne."
"Oh, Seto..."
- End Flashback -
Living on an island, working on another line
Waiting for my friend to come and we'll get high
Lenne felt a tear build up in her eye. She furiously blinked it away. 'Is this the hell people coming off drugs have to go through?' She sighed. 'If only I'd never met him...'
She knew it was too late, though. As if that weren't enough, her friends were beginning to worry about her. They were seeing through her fake happiness, and it wasn't working out right.
Passing time away in blue skies
Thinking of the smile in her eyes
Easy, it's easy
Lenne fell asleep.
- Dream -
The sky above was blue, the land below was green. Lenne soared through the clouds, doing loop-de-loops and barrel rolls. Her eyes twinkled, and for once she was happy.
That's when one of the clouds darkened, threatening to rain. It assumed the shape of Seto Kaiba's head, and started laughing at her.
Living on an island, oh boy we're having fun
Living on an island, thinking about the things I've done
Living on an island, searching for another light
Waiting for my friend to come and we'll get high
Waiting for my friend to come and we'll get high
I said we're gonna get high
Lenne smirked. She was going to beat him. She flew towards him, trying to reach his face, to punch it, to get it away.
Seto laughed harder. A cold, cruel laugh. "Silly Lenne Glass – did you really think you could defeat me that easily?" His hand appeared, and played a card – Obelisk the Tormentor.
The Egyptian God looked down at Lenne. "Obelisk – Fist of Fate!" Kaiba yelled, commanding his monster.
Obelisk reached back. 'Now!' thought Lenne, bypassing Obelisk as it stopped defending Kaiba, and punched him, hard. "No!" yelled Seto Kaiba, as he dissolved, turning back into a cloud.
- Back in Lenne's Room -
A smile came across Lenne's sleeping face.
Yeah we're gonna get high
Gonna touch the sky
And that was how her mother found her that evening.
-- End of Chapter Two -/-
Raven: Yipee! I'm done!
Moonlight: -.-'
Raven: What's wrong, Moonlight?
Moonlight: You're making your own brother sound like a big loser. Do you really want that?
Seto: The bird's got a point.
Raven: Seto? When did you get here?
Seto: Oh, about 30 seconds ago.
Raven: Well, whatever. R&R, please! ;)
Seto: O.o? Rest and relaxation? (What I originally thought)
Raven: No, silly! Read and Review!
