Pharaoh's Egyptian Arabian: Man, I feel bad for what I did to Joey.

Joey: Yeah, you made my father rape me!

Pharaoh's Egyptian Arabian: Well, I had to find something for your father to do to you.

Joey: You butt head!

Pharaoh's Egyptian Arabian: Shut It! You should be happy that I'm pairing you with Mai! How would you like me to put you with Tea or Ishizu! Or make you with a yaoi couple!

Joey: ? What's yaoi?

Seto: Don't ask.

Pharaoh's Egyptian Arabian: Anyway, let's get on with the fic shall we?

Over the next few weeks, life was going good for Joey and Mai. In that time, the two seemed to have grown attached to each other. They loved to spend time together. So one night, they decided to go into town and go to one of the dance clubs. As they entered, people were dancing and having a good time. There was loud music and lights. The colors were flying everywhere about the dancefloor. The two went onto the floor and had a good time.

Later that night, about 2 hours later, they left the dance club.

"Man, I've never been to a night club before. That was alot of fun Mai. Thanks for takin' me."

"Anytime Joey! That was alot of fun. Let's get home and get some rest. I think we deserve some rest."

"Yeah, I'm up with that."

For some reason, the summer night was very brisk and cold. A spine-chilling gust blew past them. Mai shivered from the wind. Joey placed a hand on her shoulder and smiled at her.

"We'll be home soon, Mai."

"I can't wait."

As they were walking, thay saw a man walking torwards them. The two felt that he was no threat, when he actually was.
Once they were beside of him, the man grabbed Mai and ran off into an alley.

"Mai! Hang on!"

Joey dashed after the man. He ran down the same alley that the man had gone through.

"Mai! Where are you?"

No answer.

Joey was beginning to worry.

'Where has he taken her?'

Joey ran down some side streets in a desperate attempt to find her. Soon all hope was lost for asd he could not find Mai. But he knew he couldn't give up. If he did, then who knows what could happen to Mai. He had to keep looking. For Mai's sake. Suddenly, an ear shattering scream pieced the silent night. He followed the voice. The screams kept getting louder.

He turned down a side streets and stood in horror at what he saw. He saw the man who had taken Mai. He had her cornered in the alley.

"Mai!"

"Joey! Help me!"

"I'm coming!"

The man pulled out a knife and held it against her throat.

"Stop right where you are or she gets it!"

Joey stopped immediately. He knew that voice. He knew how sinister that voice could become. Joey started to attack him.
The man dropped the knife and Mai. Joey threw a punch at him and knocked him to the ground. Mai scrambled over behind of Joey.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha! This is far from over Wheeler! You'll die by the next nightfall!"

"I doubt that. But if you touch Mai again, then you'll be the one getting hurt!"

"We'll see."

The man disappeared into the darkness. Joey turned to look at Mai. Mai looked at Joey with a look of shock.

"Joey, I...I..."

"Hush Mai. It's okay. You're safe now."

Mai smiled at him. Joey smiled back, but saw her holding her upper left arm.

"Mai, let me see your arm."

Mai removed her hand. Joey saw a slash in her arm.

"We need to get you home, Mai."

"Okay, Joey. Let's go."

Joey and Mai walked home together. As soon as they got home, Joey wrapped Mai's arm.

"Thanks Joey. For saving my life."

"No problem. I couldn't just let him take you could I?"

"Well, no. But I have one way to thank you."

Joey sat on the couch beside of Mai. He turned his head torward her.

"How are you going to thank me?"

"Like this."

Mai leaned forward and kissed Joey. Joey was a little shocked and couldn't think of how to react. After a second,
Mai didn't feel Joey react. So she started to pull away. Joey, not wanting to break the kiss, leaned torwards her and deepened the kiss. After what seemed like forever, the two parted. They stared at each other.

"I'm going to bed Joey. Night!"

"Night Mai!"

They both went into their rooms and drifted to sleep. Joey's sleep was peaceful, whereas Mai's were treacherous.
Her dreams were nightmares that wouldn't leave her alone.

Mai's Nightmare
She was in the alley with that man that had kidnapped her. She kept screaming for Joey, but he never came. He was nowhere in sight. Mai was scared.

"Seems that boy isn't coming for you. Now I can finish what I started awhile ago!"

The man held Mai down and pulled out the knife. He brought the knife down and killed her. All Mai saw was black.
Just black.

End Of Nightmare
Mai jumped with a start and awoke from this horrible nightmare. She decided to go see Joey. Mai walked to Joey's room and hoped that he was stll awake. When she opened his door, she saw him peacefully sleeping.

"Maybe I should just go back to bed."

Joey's eyes slowly opened. Mai saw Joey awake.

"Mai? Whatcha doin' up so early. It's 2:oo in the morning."

"I'm sorry Joey. I was having bad dreams and they bothered me. I just came here to look for some comfort."

"Oh...well, you can stay in here if you want. I don't mind."

"I don't want to be in the way Joey."

"You're not in the way. It's okay, you can sleep here if you want."

"Thank you Joey."

"Sure, won't bother me any."

Mai walked over to the other side of Joey's bed and crawled in with him. Joey smiled and they both went back to sleep.
Since it was cold that night, Mai began to shake. Joey awoke from Mai's shaking. He tapped her shoulder.

"Mai, are you okay?"

"I-I'm just c-c-cold."

"Come here."

Mai came closer to Joey. Joey rolled on his side facing Mai. Once Mai came close enough, he wrapped his arm around her back and pulled her close to him. Mai remembered about the boy in her dream. He was real. It was Joey. Mai rested her head on Joey's chest. Instantly, she fell asleep.

When she awoke that morning, she was in the same position that she had fell asleep in. For some reason, Mai couldn't her head. Then she realized why. Joey's cheek was on her head. She smiled and went back to sleep.

Pharaoh's Egyptian Arabian: Okay, Patricia, I know you're reading this so yes I did make them sleep together, but I didn't make anything happen. So don't kill me.

Mai: Well, at least Joey doesn't drool when he sleeps.

Joey: ZZZ...

Mai: Ugh! All he can do is eat and sleep.

Seto: Yeah.

Lindsey: Umm...

Caroline: Why don't you all trust me?
