"So, exactly why did I agree to this?" Seto asked, leaning against a game looking bored. Joey, who was playing the game, didn't pay much attention to Seto's complaints. Seto looked around.
Yeah, he could go play a game himself...but he was Seto Kaiba. He was a disgustingly rich CEO of a huge company, why would he lower himself as to play pathetic games that endorse killing people with guns with the rest of the population? But then another question arises. Why was he friends with Joey? Seto sighed; there were just some things that even he couldn't answer.
Seto stood up suddenly and walked over to a nearby machine that oddly resembled the very machines that gave coins to play the games that Seto refused to play. Coincidence? I think not!
Seto got his tokens and started walking back to where he last saw Joey, when he heard someone call his name.
"Kaiba!" It was Tristan, he was with Yugi.
"What are you doing here?" Seto was about to say that shouldn't it be obvious – he was here to play games since that's what most people do in arcades when Joey came bouncing into the conversation.
"Seto, there you are! C'mon there's a game..." Joey stopped realizing that Yugi and Tristan were there. Yugi and Tristan just stared at Joey, too – what's the right word – shocked, perhaps to even say hey. Why?
"What is that thing around your neck?" Tristan asked. That's why. There happened to be this odd looking spiked thing around Joey's neck. Something that, ironically, resembled a dog collar – and Tristan knew that Joey would never associate with anything with the word dog in it.
Joey looked puzzled for he had forgotten that he had been wearing that sorry excuse for a necklace. As Joey racked his brain for a good response Tristan and Yugi then stared at Seto. He wasn't wearing his usual attire with matching cape but jeans and...a band shirt? Was Seto actually trying to pass for a human being?
"It's...um...a necklace..." Joey said confidently.
"That looks like a dog collar?" Yugi asked, his eyebrows raised in suspicion
"Um..." Joey grinned nervously and shrugged. Then before either of them could say anything else he added: "You want to play to?" And with that he led them to the game.
"Dance Dance Revolution?" Seto asked not really having any clue what it was.
"Yeah, ever played before?" Joey asked as he put tokens into the machine. Seto gave him a look saying that the answer was clearly no.
"All you have to do is step on the arrows on the ground as they appear on the screen," Joey explained.
"That doesn't sound too hard," Seto said, having no doubts what-so-ever that he'd win.
"Don't get so full of yourself now," Tristan said, realizing that Seto didn't expect any competition. "Joey is a master at this." Joey shrugged off the compliment. He set up the game and selected the music.
"May the best man win," Joey said good-naturedly.
"Don't worry, I will."
"Oh, you're not conceited..." Joey said sarcastically. Seto didn't even bother to respond. They were dancing. Joey had no problems for he was obviously experienced. Seto on the other hand was doing pretty badly for someone who was so sure he was going to win.
"You were saying?" Joey asked after the finished the first round. Seto glared at him.
"I still have three more rounds." He said coldly. Joey laughed as if the idea of Seto winning was amusing. He should have known better...
"How?" Joey stared at the game screen as if it was telling him something impossible, like that monkeys had just invaded the earth, when in actuality it was only telling him that Seto had won.
But then, to Joey at least, monkeys taking over the world was far more believable. Joey – scowling – walked over to the token machine. Yugi and Tristan had gotten bored watching them so they had gone off to play other games. When they saw that the game was finished they ran over to Joey.
"Who won?" Yugi asked.
"I did." Seto walked up behind them. Both Yugi and Tristan looked over to Joey to see if it was true.
"Yeah, he did." Joey said, pouting slightly.
"It was not without difficulty though; you gave me some heavy competition." Seto said shocking both Yugi and Tristan. Usually when Seto won at something he just walked off after saying something about being better than his competitors or – more times than not – saying nothing at all.
Yugi just smiled, happy that Seto had finally – well, he assumed – agreed to be friends with them. Then he challenged him to one of the racing games which Seto gladly agreed to. That left Tristan and Joey alone.
"What's going on?" Tristan asked Joey as they walked over to a game they were going to play.
"What do you mean?" Joey asked as he put two tokens into the machine.
"What do I mean?" Tristan repeated dumbfounded. "Let me put it this way – since when do you and Kaiba hang out?" Joey looked at the game screen, paying more attention to the game than Tristan. He shrugged.
"Don't shrug. Seriously..." Tristan stared at Joey waiting for an answer.
"We're friends." Joey said nonchalantly.
"Joey, do you remember who we're talking about here? Seto Kaiba, the guy who's made your life miserable up to now." Tristan said trying to get some sense out Joey.
"Do you like pointing out the obvious?" Tristan didn't say anything for a minute. Their game started and they were racing down the track.
"Friends?" He asked uncertainly.
"Yup." Joey replied happily.
"The dog collar?" Tristan looked at the spiked thing around Joey's neck again.
"Just a dare." Joey said, hoping that would be enough of an answer for Tristan. It was.
"Okay." They raced in silence for a few moments, and then Tristan laughed. "You know, the dog look kind of suits you..."
Joey's racecar smashed into a wall.
