Seto and Mai fan…

SCENE: Mai has just stormed out of Seto's large room on the blimp because he gave the impression that the fling they had while Battle City was going on meant nothing to him. Little does Mai know he thinks the complete opposite and wants to be with her…. Mai has managed to catch up with Joey (Jounuchi) and is about to tell him that she will take him up on his offer of complete love and security……..

Joey follows Mai into her lonely bedroom full with a scented perfume smell and deep purple curtains that are closed. "Yeah Mai what is it?" Joey asks, smiling and hoping desperately that he knows what she is about to say. Mai sits on her satin bed and takes a deep breath. She didn't really love Joey, she also did not want to end up an orphan who keeps rejecting every guy that she encounters in fear of him not meeting her standards, besides Joey was really a great guy… "I have been thinking Joe and I was wandering if" "when we arrive back in the states off this island.." Joeys face is full of suspense. "We could maybe go out for dinner and then whatever happens after that…" Mai winks at him knowing he is over the moon. Joey flings his arms around Mai and gazes into her purple eyes. "Oh Mai" he whispers. "No one gets me the way you do" he holds back a tear of joy. Mai giggles and kisses him on the cheek, he blushes and then draws in close to her on the bed and there lips meet each others as Joey slowly removes Mai's purple jacket. "You are so hot Mai" Joey says in anticipation, he wants her and he wants her NOW. Mai doesn't say anything, it's not like she isn't used to tell how hot she is when a guy is about to make love to her, Seto said it all the time although when Seto said it, Mai actually tingled and wanted him even more. Joey was okay but Mai could not let him down again and she felt that this was the least she could do, even if a relationship between them does not work out. One things for sure he will enjoy this experience with her for a long time. Joey pulls off his shirt and feels Mai's soft skin. Surprisingly he has done this before but with who and when remains a mystery (Joey was probably too embarrassed to say who it was). Joey was gentle as he removed Mai's clothing piece by piece but no body in Mai's experience was as gentle as Seto was. Mai closes her eyes and imagines being with him, she then opens them to see Joey on top of her kissing her neck up and down. She thinks of how rude and cold seto was and thrusts Joey into her. Just then in the heat of the moment there is a knock on the door.

"Mai?" a voice yells loudly from outside. "Ignore it" Joey says embracing Mai's body. "Mai I know you are in there", the same voice yells sounding angry. Mai rolls her eyes and slides off the bed, putting her tight shirt and skirt back on. She ruffles her hair as she opens the door. "Tea" she says with a raised eye brow (what did she want) Tea huffs and barges on in to find Joey laying half naked on top of Mai's bed. "OH" she screams. "Joey no you didn't?". Joey looks puzzled. "Excuse me?" Mai asks standing behind her. "Oh like you don't know?" Tea hisses in Mai's face. Joey leaps up off the bed and puts his white shirt back on. "Tea calm down would ya?" he says. Tea crosses her arms and glares at Mai. "I'm guessing you do not know then Joey?", Tea asks sternly. "Know what?" Joey asks. Tea looks wickedly at Mai. "Will you tell him or should I"? She gives Mai an ultimatum. "Tea what the hell is your problem?" Mai raises her voice. "You barge into my room and accuse me of something I know nothing about". She then grabs her hair brush and begins brushing her hair. Tea is furious. "Alright miss teen queen" "ill tell you and Joey what I saw just a few minutes ago since you do not seem to have a clue what I am talking about" . "Well" Joey asks, standing by Mai (where else would he be standing?) "Your oh so perfect girlfriend was having an affair with Seto Kaiba since battle city started" "she went to him but he dumped her and now she is using you as a rebound guy" Tea blurts out in an angry voice feeling generally sad for Joey. "What?" Joey yells at the top of his lungs. "Joey I broke it off so I could be with you", Mai tries to reassure him. "Seto Kaiba?" Joey spits. "My arch enemy?". "After all we have been through Mai?" he throws his hands up in the air and shakes his head in dismay. Tea puts her arm around Joey and glares again at Mai. "I didn't know anyone was there" she says glancing over at Tea with evil eyes. "Well after serenity stopped raving on about how fabulous you were" "I decided to go and find you to tell you about Joey asking you out when.." "Excuse me?" Joey looks up at Tea in surprise. Mai smirks and Tea looks confused. "Joey?" "It was a good thing I was going to tell her or I would not have found her with that evil creep" Tea explains. Joey backs away from Tea and looks at Mai for a second. "Are you and Kaiba still together?" he asks. Mai shakes her head. "No and nothing happened tonight either" she says looking down at the ground. "Wait until Yugi and the others hear about this" Tea says heading for the door. Joey stops her and slams the door in front of her. "What's the mater with you?" he asks angrily. "Are you so jealous of everyone else that you have to interfere with their lives and spread gossip?". Tea's jaw drops and tears well up in her eyes. "I am not jealous" she replies. "Especially not of her" she screams pointing at Mai. "Just leave Tea" Joey says quietly. "I thought we were friends" she says whimpering. "Yeah well so did I" he replies, letting go of the door.

Mai then walks up to Tea and smiles. "Go ahead honey tell them all what are they gonna do?" "Kaiba owns this Blimp remember that". Tea's face goes bright red and she runs out of the door. "bye bye" Mai waves sarcastically. "Can you imagine the nerve of her?" Joey says angered by Tea. "Some great friend she turned out to be". Mai walks up behind him. "You know it isn't really her Fault Joe, she says. "You do not have to blame her for something I did". "I don't blame her". Joey replies turning around to face Mai. "I know why you wanted to keep the affair with his majesty from everyone" he half jokes. Mai smiles. "That's what I love about you Joey" "Your warmth and wacky sense of humour". Joey looks up at Mai and half smiles. He then looks away sadly. "I was going to break up with him anyway" she says trying to explain her self. She was lying about the break-up thing and would be with Seto right now if he felt the same. "Really?" Joey asks, wanting to believe her so badly. "Yes" she replies stroking his hair.

Joey and Mai then walk into the main room where everyone else is waiting for the blimp to take off. They're holding hands and Joey looks as happy as he was before he knew of Seto and Mai. As long as he had her he didn't care. The group just stare blankly at them both as they walk into the main room and grab a drink from the fridge in the kitchen. Tea was hugging Yugi and balling her eyes out. "I can't believe you chose that slut over our friendship" she blubbers. "Tea don't" Yugi calms her. Tristan and Duke both look at the two standing in the kitchen. "I don't blame Joey" Tristan whispers to Duke. "Me neither" Duke whispers back. "Mai's hot". "She could cheat on me a thousand times". "Then you're self esteem must be in the gutter" Tea cries at them. Serenity just looks sad for Tea at the same time happy for her brother because he really does care for Mai. All of a sudden Mokuba rushes in. "hey guys there has been a hold up" he says almost out of breath. "Seto has delayed the blimp taking off". "What?" Yugi says still holding Tea. "For how long?". "I don't know", Mokuba replies. "He seems pretty mad about something". Just then Seto storms in and pushes past Yugi and the gang who are in his path toward the kitchen. "Alright wheeler" "I am not going anywhere until you let go of what's mine" Seto threatens Joey with anger and an evil glare. Everyone is silent. Mai loos at Seto. He looks hot in his tight purple shirt and long coat. "Seto what are you doing?" she asks. "He is not doing anything " Joey warns holding his fists up at Kaiba. "Mai" Seto says. "Do you really want to spend your time with this idiot?" he questions. Mai doesn't know what to say she is frozen. Was everything Seto said in his room a lie? "I want you Mai and I want you now" he says deeply. Mai looks flustered and Joey is seething. "Well you had your chance ass hole and you blew it now start this blimp already" Joey yells. "Did I now wheeler?" he replies looking over at Mai. "Mai you don't want him after what he said to you" Joey says stroking her long curly hair. "Seto you said what we had was nothing and it was a fling nothing more", Mai says walking up to him. "Forget about what I said Mai", Seto pulls mai in and holds her tightly. The gang go to pull seto away and Serenity pulls Joey back from hitting Seto in the face. "Will you make your choice already Mai?" Tristan asks coldly. Secretly wishing it was him caught between Mai and Serenity. "I um uh" Mai stutters. She doesn't know what to do or who to chose. Joey was always there for her and will never let her down, but Seto is so incredibly handsome and for some reason really wants to be with her. Mokuba was silent throughout Seto and Wheelers yelling match but comes up with an idea. "Why don't you settle it with a Duel?" he suggests from behind the two fighting males….

"What?" Joey asks. "Hey that's not a bad idea" Duke says. "Yeah it means we can finally get out of here" Tristan says. "Yeah and the winner gets Mai and she has to go with him" Mokuba say smiling at Mai, he has always had a soft spot for her. "Mokuba stop it you're sounding like your brother", Bakura says. He hates fighting and confrontation, for now anyway. "Oh puh-lease" "A duel to decide who gets Mai?" Joey rolls his eyes. "What's the matter Wheeler?" Seto snarls still holding Mai. "Afraid you'll lose like always?". "You don't scare me sicko, "I have been saving my skills for a duel like this". Joey grins evilly. "Shouldn't you let Mai decide whether the duel goes on or not?" Serenity pipes up. "What do you say Mai?" Joey asks. "You want one of us right?" "This is the best way to settle it and get me and my friends back home".

Seto looks into Mai's eyes again and she pulls away from him to think. Joey wants Mai to say "no screw the duel and grab onto him but she does not do that. "Ok" she nods. "Really?" Mokuba asks excitedly. "Well it will help me decide who I want to be with" she says. Tea rolls her eyes. "I can't believe they are fighting over her" she hisses. Everyone just ignores Tea's comments and prepares for the duel that will see who Mai will end up with…. "It's on" Joey raises his fists in competition. "Don't worry Mai ill win and then we can finally be together" he says hugging her. Seto then walks beside Mai and touches her shoulder. "You wan to do this?" he asks. "Yeah" she replies nervously. "Ill see you at the finish line" he whispers in her ear. Everyone walks outside and awaits the duel that will see who Mai spends her life with…. Mai stands still for a minute and Serenity stands next to her. "Be careful Mai" she says. "Joey and Seto are both strong duellists and will fight until the end". Mai turns around and looks at Serenity. "I know" she replies. "You know what?" "I'm strong too" she smiles at Serenity and walks into the night where the duel for her love will take place……..
