True
I won't talk
I won't breathe
I won't move 'til you finally see
That you belong with me
Joseph Wheeler had just hung up the phone with some of the greatest news he had in a long time. One of his good friends, Mai, had just called. This was so great because he had been worried about her ever since their duel. The only thing he could remember her holding him, telling him she was sorry for hurting him, and that she promised to get him back. Sadly her soul was taken before she could save him.
You might think I don't look
But deep inside the corner of my mind
I'm attached to you
I'm weak, it's true
'Cause I'm afraid to know the answer
Do you want me too?
'Cause my heart keeps falling faster
Wait till he told the gang Mai was okay! The whole gang had been down since Yugi's Yami, Pharaoh Atem, was sent to Death after the Final Duel. Yugi did his very best that day! Now the whole gang would be in higher spirits now that they had news on Mai's welfare. "Alright! Mai's comin' back! Haha!" Joey yelled happily. Now, just maybe, he could tell her how he really felt about her. "I dink dis is goin' be harda den I thoughd, dough," he said a little nervously, "How am I goin' to tell 'er?"
I've waited all my life
To cross this line
To the only thing that's true
So I will not hide
It's time to try
Anything to be with you
All my life I've waited This is true
"Hey! Guys, ya won't believe who jus' called!" exclaimed Joey happily.
"I don't know, Joey, who?" asked Yugi curiously.
"Mai! She's wit ma motha in 'er apartmen'!" Joey said, getting really excited.
"Wow! That's great news, Joey!" said Tea.
"Yeah that's great news, man!" Tristan said, happy for his friend knowing how much he worried about Mai.
"Do you think she'll be visiting anytime soon?" Yugi asked.
"Ya know whad, Yug? I completely forgot to ask 'er tha when she called!" said Joey, blushing a little and scratching the back of his head, as the rest of the group anime fall or sweat drop.
"Joey, how could you be so stupid?!" asked Tristan angrily punching Joey in the face, but luckily Joey dodged it and Tristan fell the ground on his face.
"Don' worry abou it! I have ma own motha's phone numba!" exclaimed Joey, but suddenly remembered. "Uh-oh…Now where did I put tha thing?"
"Oh man, Joey! You should really organize yourself or something!" Tea scolded Joey.
"Don't worry guys I'll get the phone book," said Yugi calmly.
"Thanks, Yug!" said Joey, almost dying of excitement till he gets to talk to Mai again.
You don't know what you do
Everytime you walk into the room
I'm afraid to move
I'm weak, it's true
I'm just scared to know the answer
Do you see me too?
Do you even know you met me?
Finally getting his mother's phone number, Joey quickly calls, hoping to get Mai. He quickly typed in the number on the cord-less phone, fingers fast as lightning. When the call finally went through, which felt like an eternity to Joey, his mother was on the other side of the line.
"Oh, hey, Ma! How are ya? Can I talk to Mai?" asked Joey hopefully.
"Oh, hello, Joseph. I'm sorry dear; Mai went out to the mall with Serenity to get some new clothes," explained Mrs. Wheeler, "Would you like to leave a message for her when she gets back?"
"Nah, thas okay, Ma," said Joey, feeling shot down, "De dey happen to mention where dey were goin'?" he asked hopefully.
"Um, I do believe Mai said they were going to the mall in Downtown Domino."
"Danks, Ma!" said Joey, "I'll talk to ya lata! Bye!" Joey said, and hung up the phone, "Now how am I gonna getta da mall?" wondered Joey, turning toward Tristan, "Hey, Bud! You dink ya could give meh a lift ta theh mall on ya motacycle?"
"Uh, sure, I guess so," said Tristan a little uncertain.
"Danks, Man!" said Joey happily.
I've waited all my life to cross this line
To the only thing that's true
So I will not hide
It's time to try
Anything to be with you
All my life I've waited
This is true
Joey now on his way to the mall thanks to Tristan, is now wondering how he ever going to find two girls in a crowd of probably close to a million.
"Hey, Tris, ya know a la abou wha girls like, righ?" said Joey curiously.
"Uh, yeah, I guess, why?" asked Tristan a little suspicious.
"Well, where do you think girls like to shop?" asked Joey.
"Um, maybe Abercrombie, or Old Navy, or even, uh, Hot Topics, Macy's, ya know girly stores!" Tristan yelled over the roar of the motorcycle.
"Hm, thanks buddy!" Joey yelled back.
Upon entering the mall, Joey looked for one the maps that are posted throughout the malls.
"Hey! I found one! Hey?! But how does it know where I am?!" exclaimed Joey, seeing the 'you are here' on the map, "Oh yeah, neva mind," feeling a little silly for saying such a thing he made his way to the Old Navy that just happened to be on that floor.
Entering the store, Joey was wondering how he could find his sister and Mai. "Hey I gotta idea! Maybe if I could find one of those loadspeakas…" said Joey, "How I am goin' to get on one though?" thinking Joey decided to ask a security guard. "Hey! Mista! Can I barra ya loud speaka majig? I…I…kinda…lost…my sis and friend…," said Joey, lying (and badly).
"Oh sure, kid! Go ahead!" said the security guard.
"Uh, thanks!" said Joey a little surprised, "WOULD MAI VALENTINE AN' SERENITY WHEELER COME TO THE ENTRANCE OF THE OLD NAVY!" Joey shouted over the loud-speaker.
"Geez, Kid! Ya don't have to shout!" yelled the security guard.
"Sorry…," Joey said.
A few minutes later, Mai and Serenity came to the entrance of the Old Navy. Looking a little confused on who was calling them, and then found Joey.
"Joey? Was that you over the intercom?" asked Serenity.
"Yup!" said Joey proudly, as Mai hit him over the head with her shopping bag.
"You, idiot! I thought something was wrong!" yelled Mai angrily.
"Ahhh! Mai do ya hafta hit so hard?" asked Joey almost crying.
"Oh, I'm sorry Joseph! Just don't scare me like that again!" said Mai, apologetically.
"Hee-hee!" giggled Serenity.
"Uh, so why did you want us for and what did you come here for?" asked Mai curious.
"Well, I was juss wonderin' if ya wanta come back to Yug's with me…an' if ya would give me a ride, cause Tristan kinda took off afta he dropped me off," asked Joey, giving off his trade mark smile.
"Oh well, who could say no to a face like that, right, Serenity?" asked Mai teasing Joey.
"Yeah! It's so ugly, you have to pity it!" laughed Serenity, giving Mai a high five.
"Hey! I resent that!" yelled Joey.
"Hee-hee," the girls giggled.
I know when I go
I'll be on my way to you
The way that's true
After the girls were done shopping, which to Joey felt like an eternity, they packed up the car and headed to Yugi's house. Joey was in the front seat with Mai and Serenity was in the back-seat sleeping, apparently worn out from all the shopping. Joey just wanted to get something off his chest.
"Hey, Mai, I was jus wonderin'," Joey started but had trouble finding the right words, "you rememba when we were duelin', right?"
"Yes, Joey, sadly I do," Mai said almost in a whisper, tearing a little, "and I'm really sorry about that."
"Ah, don' worry abou' it Mai! It's jus that, I was thinking abou' wha ya said to meh thah night," said Joey, "and you were cryin' a lot ova meh and you weren' cryin' that much ova Valon, so I thought…" Joey stated but got cut off by Mai.
"Joey, I care a lot about you! You should know that by now! You are one of my only friends…you cared about me when no one else would! That's why I cried…I was afraid I might lose you to the darkness…," Mai said, almost whispering the last part.
"I care a lod abou' ya, too, Mai…tha's why I tried so hard get you back afta ya dueled Marik in tha shadow duel! I couldn' live withoud knowin' ya were safe Mai," declared Joey, "I don' know how I survived after you disappeared after our duel…"
"Oh, Joseph, you're so sweet…," she said, looking at Joey out of the corner of her eye.
"I guess…I jus wanted ta give ya everything ya wanted afta we firs met on the boat at Duelist Kingdom…but I knew I would neva be able to give it ta ya, so I just gave up on us bein' togetha," said Joey, frowning a bit.
"Oh! Joey, you're all I'll ever want! Your such a nice guy and you care so much about me!" said Mai. Now Joey and Mia were closing in together, getting extremely close (at a red light, mind you), when all of a sudden…
"Uh, hm, um? Guys? What are you doing?" asked Serenity, still a little groggy from just waking up.
"Oh, um," Joey mumbled, trying to think fast, "Uh, Mai! Let me get that speck off your face!"
"Oh, um, thanks Joseph!" said Mai.
"Are you guys okay? Your acting kinda weird," said Serenity concerned.
"IT'S NOTHING!" yelled Joey and Mai in unison.
"Um, okay," said Serenity a little nervous now.
Now the group was right in front of Yugi's house. They all prepared to get out of the car and see their friends.
"Well, here goes nothing," said Mai.
"Yup," Joey responded.
I've waited all my life to cross this line
