Chapter 10: All's Well That Ends Well...Sort of

Joey had never been so overjoyed to see other humans in his life. A huge crowd was walking in one big mass in his direction, looking rather exhausted and annoyed. "OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD!!" The chestnut-eyed teen hyperventilated, hugging a random stranger who walked by him. "IT'S SO GREAT TAH HAVE YA BACK, MAN!" He cried, and then bounded ahead to greet other random people that he might've only seen once before in his entire life. The random stranger blinked, muttered something about kids on drugs these days, and continued walking. The poofy-haired blonde could feel his eyes watering from tears of joy when he heard familiar voices squeal from behind him.

"JJJOOOOEEEEYYYYYY!!!!" His friends cried, running forward to glomp their absent comrade.

"GUYS!!!" He called, and was instantly dog piled by his buddies. "JOEY! WE MISSED YOU SO MUCH!!" Yugi cried into the blonde's shirt. "Aw, I missed you guys, too!" Joey goofily smiled, but then frowned as he recalled that THEY were the ones who DITCHED him. "Hey! Waitaminute!" He yelled, pulling out of his friends' group hug, "I thought dat you guys ditched me!" His eyes narrowed into an angry glare.
"Huh?" The gang looked at him, confused. "YOU GUYS LEFT ME HERE!!" Joey bellowed, "YA SAID YA'D PHONE ME AT NINE!!" "We tried," Stated Tristan. "What?" The blonde blinked. "That's right," Yugi reinforced, "We tried calling you, but the phone company said your phone had been disconnected." "It did?" "Yeah! Joey, you mean you went for four days and never noticed that your phone was disconnected?" Téa asked incredulously. "Hmm...well, I guess I should've noticed something when da telemarketers stopped pesterin' me...BUT STILL! You guys could've pounded on my door or something! I would've woken up if ya hollered loud enough!" Joey argued. "Joey, we DID go to your house," Yugi defended, "You left a note on the door, telling us that you had left early to save us a spot at the most popular ride there!" "What?!?! Yugi, do ya still have dis note?" "Uh...yeah, I think so," The tri-colored haired teen said. "Could I see it?" The blonde asked. "Sure," The game king consented, digging into a pocket and retrieving the said note. He handed it to Joey. Chestnut eyes narrowed as he scanned over the typed note. "Guys, I couldn't have written dis," He declared, "I don't have a computer!" "Y-YOU DON'T?!?!?" The gang gasped. "BIG BROTHER!!!!!" Called someone, interrupting the gang's state of shock. They turned to see Kaiba being glomped by his little brother, Mokuba. "Hey, Mokuba," Smiled the blue-eyed teen, ruffling the youngster's fuzzy black hair, "Did everything work out alright?" "You bet, Seto! Everything went exactly as you said it would! It took them FOREVER to realize that my purple spots were just marker!" Mokuba chirped. Everyone's jaw dropped in unison. Joey stared at the smirking genius and then choked out, "Ya mean...tah tell me...DAT YA PLANNED ALL DIS FROM DA BEGINNIN'?!?!?!?!?" The trademark smirk grew louder, "Yes. What better way to help prove that you're wrong and have the situation bend to my advantage?" The gang registered what this meant. "Wow, Joey! You're in a relationship with Kaiba now?" Tristan inquired. "HA! I TOLD YOU THAT YOU'D FIND LOVE, JOEY!" Téa gloated. "That's great, Joey!" Smiled Yugi. "Congratulations!" Said Ryou. But Joey heard none of this. The dark flame of anger that had enveloped him blocked out all sound waves as he stepped towards his boyfriend menacingly. "WHY YA LITTLE-" He roared, fist swinging forward... ...For the next three weeks, Seto Kaiba had the biggest and loudest
smirk out of anyone in Domino City...as well as the biggest black eye.

"THE END," Declared Ned the Friendly Hobo Who Preaches Nonsense at Passerby
from his bench.
