Okay, I'm sorry that it took forever to put this chapter up, but I was having some problems! This chapter was on my gaia journal and the journals were down like all stinkin' weekend! Gawd! But now I finally have it! Enjoy, the next chapter may be the last!
Joey blinked while staring out the window. He looked at Mai, realizing the way she was looking at him. He sweatdropped, and leaned back, against his chair, so the candlelight wouldn't reflect his face anymore. Mai blinked, snapping out of her daze. She shook her head a little.
"So, Joey, what have you been doing recently?" Mai asked. Joey sort of shrugged.
"Nothing, really..." He replied. He looked at the door to the kitchen, hoping that they'd come out with the food soon, that way he could eat and leave.
"Just sitting around at home?" Mai asked. She shook her head. "You should really get outside more." Joey sighed, looking back at Mai.
"Why do you care if I get enough outside time or not? It's not like it really matters. When I go with Yugi and the gang to play games at the arcade we usually are out in daylight for a while. Not only that, but you just found me outside in a tree. I think that shows that I get outside a lot." Joey said, in defense. Mai blinked.
"I guess you're smarter than I thought." She laughed. Joey rolled his eyes, then went back to being silent.
The waitress soon came, two plates in her hands. She set the salad and spagetti in front of Mai, and the steak in front of Joey. Mai smiled.
"Is there any dressing?" Mai asked. The waitress nodded, handing Mai a bottle of ranch dressing. Mai frowned at it. "I really don't like ranch... but I guess it's alright." She started to lather her salad in the white dressing. Joey started to cut into his steak, watching Mai.
Mai took her fork, and put it in the salad. She got some lettuce, and put it in her mouth, and ate.
"Mmm... this is pretty good!" Mai exclaimed. She continued to eat her salad. Joey watched her. He looked down at her salad, and realized... the little black things were moving!!! His eyes went wide.
"Erm, Mai..." Joey said, setting his fork down. Mai looked at him, putting another fork full of salad in her mouth. "I don't know if you realized this, but... your dressing is... well, moving." Mai looked down at her plate. She watched, carefully. Soon her eyes went wide.
"THEY'RE ANTS!!!!" She screamed, standing. "THERE ARE ANTS IN MY SALAD!!!!!!!!!!" She then got a sick look on her face, and ran off. Joey blinked, watching. People were staring at him now.
"Erk..." He mumbled. He continued to eat his steak, and finished half of it. Since more people were starting to stare at him, he started to get a little nervous. He eventually finished his steak, and looked around, mainly for Mai. He eventually spotted her, talking to somebody who seemed to be the manager or something. He sweatdropped.
"I think I'll uh..." He mumbled. He slowly stood, and crept towards the door. Mai spotted him.
"Joey! Where do you think you're going!" She called. Joey sweatdropped, not wanting to be spotted like this. Mai walked over to him. "I need your help to shut this place down!! I mean, ants in the dressing?! UCK!!" Mai exclaimed Joey sighed, shaking his head, thinking,
'Why do I even bother?'
Please, review!!
