Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or Liz Phair's songs.
Mai sat on a bench in the park. The sun was setting; the park was deserted, except for her. It was ten years after the Battle City Tournament ended. She sat on the bench remembering her friends. One-by-one she pictured each of her friends and remembered.
Yugi was compassionate. Tea was friendly to everyone. Tristen was loyal. Serenity was kind and caring. Duke was supportive. Seto was... Seto was a little self-centered, but he was a good guy. Mokuba was very kind compared to his older brother.
She thought of Joey last on purpose. 'Joey... oh Joey. I-I miss you.'
For the rest of my days
I want you by my side
Everyone had moved away from Domino City. They split up, moving all over the world. She had hoped Joey would stay with her in Domino City, but he moved as well.
Tell me what can I say
To keep you in my life?
Joey and Mai dated for awhile and were happy. But when he had to move because of a job, Joey left without looking back. Joey cared more about a job then her. Why did he have to leave?
Cause I can never relax
I've got to keep it exciting
Make it attractive
Keep it alive
Keep you coming back
Every year the gang had a reunion, and everybody always came, even Seto and Mokuba. Joey came too. Mai feared these reunions, not because she would see the gang again, but because she would see Joey... and his new girlfriend, Kelsey. She hated seeing him with her. What did Kelsey have that Mai didn't?
When Kelsey and Mai first met two years ago, Mai told Joey that it was fine he had a new girlfriend. Mai had lied. She still loved Joey, but she didn't want to ruin his life.
I'm always so frightened
You'll see through my act
A tear fell down her cheek. "Oh, Joey I miss you so much," her voice trembled.
"I know, I miss you, too." Mai jerked her head up, startled. There stood Joey looking down at her.
"Joey?"
When the fire's out
And I've given up
You come running out
And you build it up
"J-Joey, why are you here?" Joey kneeled down so he was face-to-face with Mai. He leaned close to her, so close their noses were almost touching. "Mai, I missed you." Mai looked away from Joey, another tear slide down her face.
Joey gently placed his hands on her cheeks and turned her face so their eyes met. "Good love never dies," he whispered.
You tell me
Good love never dies
"I'm sorry I left you. I never realized how much I cared about you." Mai closed her eyes, so Joey continued, "It hurt. Leaving you hurt. I... I don't know why I left you." He paused then answered his own question, "I was too focused on the future. I forgot about you." Joey cringed after he said that. He knew it was the wrong thing to say. "I'm sorry, Mai."
It only hurts when e burn our eyes
From staring to long at the Sun.
She sighed, "Joey I should have told you this sooner: I missed you."
You've got to throw your hands up
And let the night come
Joey nodded "Yeah... I missed you too."
Tell me what can I say
To keep you in my life
Mai sat there looking into Joey's chocolate eyes, trying to think of what to say. How can she tell Joey how she feels, when he already has a girlfriend.
All the words slip away
When I look in your eyes
"What about Kelsey?" Mai blurted out suddenly. Joey looked in Mai's violet eyes and answered, "We broke up."
"Oh..." Mai sighed. Then she asked worriedly, "Are you going to leave me again?"
I'm already fighting
To keep what I have
"No, Mai. I'll never leave you again. I promise."
"How do I know that you're not lying?" Mai whispered, looking away from him.
When the fire's out
And I've given up
You come running out
And build it up
Joey looked in Mai's eyes. They were full of worry and distrust "I promise Mai. I promise you good love never dies."
You tell me
Good love never dies
Tears fell from Mai's eyes. She couldn't stop them. Joey wrapped his arms around her. "This time I won't get carried away."
It only hurts when we burn our eyes
From staring too long at the Sun
Mai pulled gently away from Joey. He stood up.
"Mai, will you please love me again?" he said offering Mai a hand. Mai sighed and looked up at the sky; it was night and the moon was bright. She stood up and looked Joey in the eye.
"Alright," she said with a smile on her face, "I'll love you again."
"...I love you Mai."
"I love you too."
You've got to throw your hands up
And let the night come
Take your chances
And let the night come
A/N: Is it better? Worse? Never read it before? Heh, well please reveiw!!!!!
