Date Busters

Joey had just recently bought himself a new car. It was a very fancy blue sports car. He was up in his room getting ready for his big date with Mai. His room was a mess… cloths were everywhere. You'd think a girl would have a problem picking out something but Joey?… He was having a panic attack. " AH! What am I going to do?" He peers at the clock. It was a few minutes till five. Joey was so unprepared.

His younger sister came in. She couldn't believe what was going on. " Joey, what are you doing! You have a date to go on!"

" I know, I KNOW! Ah help!"

She smiles and walks over to her brother. " What's the problem?"

" I don't know what to wear!"

" Just wear a nice shirt and pants."

" But sis… look around you. Do you even see anything nice?"

She looks around. She understood what her brother meant. He had messed up shirts everywhere. Not to mention he had pizza boxes and unfinished food laying around too. " Gosh Joey… you're hopeless. You need a maid to come in here."

Joey looks at his sister with a 'you think so look.' " Ya I guess I am a bit of a slob."

" A bit! That is an understatement. Try a lot."

" Come on sis… give me a break. So now what?"

looking into Joey's closet " Alright I think I got just the thing for you."

Joey looks at his sister with a doubtful look. She comes back with a nice looking 'suit.'

" Uh sis… where did this come from?"

" You're closet. It was the only thing that you didn't through on the floor."

" Thanks sis… I'd be totally lost if I didn't have you to help me out."

Joey quickly changes and runs out of the room.

" How rude… he doesn't even kiss me goodbye."

He returns quickly… in reverse… and kisses her. " Thanks sis. See you later."

He runs back out of his room, down the stairs and he jumps into his car. He drives as quickly as he could and he finally got to Mai's house about 5 minutes later.

Mai was standing outside her house. She walked up to Joey. She leans over the door of the car and starts to talk to Joey. " Well it's about time! What the heck kept you?"

" Sorry about that Mai. I couldn't find anything to wear."

" I'd figure you'd lose your cool over this. Alright lets just go."

Mai got in the car and they drove off. A few moments later they arrived at a nice restaurant.

The whole gang was curious if anything would happen to them. They hoped the best for them but like any young adults they wanted to know more. So our brilliant item-holding pals were planning a little spy action. Yugi and Ryou were across the street looking in at Joey and Mai. The table was set with romantic candlelight.

Outside Yugi and Ryou were talking out the plan. " Alright you guys… I got an idea. I was thinking about the team plan earlier… but I just realize that is much more dangerous then if we did it this way. I am proposing that Yugi and I use our shadow magic to see into the restaurant without being detected."

" That sounds like a better idea Ryou… Alright lets do it!" Yugi said.

" Uh guys… it's that a little bit dangerous?" Tea asked.

" No it's not."

" You two both remember what happened with that Marik dude right… he got all waked out when he used his powers."

clearing his throat " Did you forget I'm standing right here."

Tristan jumped like three feet into the air. " Ah… don't do that to me!"

Yami and Bakura also got involved. " What are you kids up too?" Yami asked.

" Uh nothing."

" You know you can't lie to me Yugi… come on spill."

" Alright I'm spying on Joey."

" Why can't the two of you just let them be." Marik said.

" I wouldn't be talking if I were you." Tristan said

" Why?"

" You were the first person to mess with them."

" How many times do I have to say it! It was the damn body snatcher!"

Bakura shook his head. " Besides you two should know better then to misuse your shadow powers."

cough " You shouldn't even be talking Bakura. I wouldn't be giving advice if I were you." Ryou said.

" Why?"

" You used yours to hear what the goon of Pegasus was up too. How is this any different?"

" You have a point Ryou. But the two of you can't handle the great stress of the shadow magic."

" Then I guess you don't know us very well." They muttered.

Inside the restaurant Joey looked at Mai with love in his eyes. Bakura and Yugi used their items to lesson in.

" You know Mai, I'm glad we are finally back together. I thought that I would never get the chance to see you again after you were sent to the Shadow Realm. I'm glad we have this time together."

" You know Joey I must admit in the begin I thought you were a big nutty duelist… but over time I started to like you. Anyway I didn't want to say this before but I want to say… I love you Joey."

" I love you too Mai." Joey gets up for a moment. He knelt down on one knee. " Mai Valentine… I swear I will always look out for you the rest of my life."

Outside…

" I don't believe this!" Ryou said.

" What?" Tea asked.

" Joey is asking Mai to marry him!" Yugi said.

" Woah… isn't Joey just a teen?" Bakura asked.

" He's not that young." Ryou said.

Inside….

" So Mai… will you marry me?"

She was so shocked. On one of their first dates Joey asks Mai to marry him.

" You know I would marry you. Yes!"

Joey was so thrilled. He put the ring on her figure. They were now engaged.

Hey everyone. What did you think? Well I can tell you this all of these peaceful times are going to be crashing down. I know Bakura is so out of character…. I hope you enjoyed it. Please review. Laters….
