MY SONFIC COLLECTION: CHAPTER 2
By Innocent-chibi and Opal.
HELLO
By Evanescence.
Disclaimer- I do not own Yu-gi-oh, or this song. You really think I'd be able to write lyrics this good, or sing so high? (I tried once and nearly choked myself trying to make the note last for the entire time Amy Lee was singing... Xx)
FOREWORD- this is set in battle city when Mai ended up in the shadow realm, and It's from Joey's POV, as he's thinking about her. However, it does not follow the plot really, so there are no big spoilers.
Anyway, I am using the dub names for this chapter because I can't remember Mai's Japanese name.
Opal: remember? You never knew it anyway!
Chibi: grits teeth shut...up...
BTW, I forgot to say this before but in the actual song of 'Easier to run' (which is by Linkin park, meaning I don't own it.) Isis's part does sound slightly feminine, and I thought If I gave her that part it would all fall together quite well. And it did, sorta! u especially the end of the track, where it sounds a bit like a duet... a bit. You really have to listen to it to understand.
Anyways, let us get this ficcie started! and yes, it's meant to be short, because if I made it longer it would be doing the song even more injustice than it is already!
Opal: the stupid grammar-correcter-thingie keeps changing the above 'and' into a capitalized word, then saying I should change it back, then changing it, and getting me to change it back, etc etc etc! jeeze, what the hell does it want me to do?! Just leave it lower case? FINE! I WILL!!!
Playground school bell rings again
Rain clouds come to play again
Has no one told you she's not breathing?
Hello
I'm your mind
Giving you someone to talk to
Hello
Joey sat by Mai's bed staring at her closed eyes, his own dull and lifeless. Somewhere off in the distance a bell signaled that their meal was ready, but it was immediately drowned out by a growl of thunder and crackle of lightning. Rain spattered the windows of the blimp but Joey was only aware of the ticking of the clock on the wall. It was time, and it was speeding away into the distance, he was unable to stop it and with every passing second Mai was slipping further away from him. His mind whirled. It was as if the storm outside was raging inside his head, unsettling him from the inside, and making him feel helpless. He suddenly though he saw Mai move slightly, but she was perfectly still, and he realized it had all been his imagination.
'She's not moving' a voice in his head stated. 'She is not breathing. Surely you can see that, the doctors told you.'
If I smile and don't believe
Soon I know I'll wake from this dream
Don't try to fix me I'm not broken
Hello
I'm the lie living for you so you can hide
Don't cry
Joey hardly acknowledged his friends as they entered to room. Serenity was not anywhere to be seen; he guessed she had not wanted to see Mai like this. Tristan stepped up behind Joey's shoulder and spoke quietly to his friend.
"Has she said anything?" Joey shook his head.
"No." but he looked up at Tristan and smiled weakly. "But I know she's gonna be fine." Tristan sighed. Joey could deny it all he wanted, but there was no way it could all be a bad dream, although it seemed like it.
Joey did not say anything else, and everyone left one by one, Tristan last, being the most concerned. Joey clutched his head in despair as he realized he was alone once more. He refused to cry though. Anything but that. Joey didn't leave the room even when the others came to say goodnight. He decided if he stayed with Mai, perhaps somehow when he woke up Mai would be okay and this mess would be just a horrible dream.
Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
Hello
I'm still here
All that's left of yesterday
Joey opened his eyes with a start, and jerked his head upwards, to take a look around the room. A brief hope sparked inside him as he slowly flicked his eyes over to Mai's bed. However, it was extinguished almost as soon as it had appeared, as he realized the shape under the covers was still there. Joey got up as anger flooded into his heart. He was going to find Marik, and he was going to make him pay for what he had done.
Joey was going to avenge his friend Mai, and he was going to bring back yesterday.
Chibi: well, how was it?
Opal: laughing hysterically WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!?!
Chibi: Oo;;;
Chibi: b-b-bring back yesterday? wtf? Why the hell didn't I delete that when I had the chance?!
Chibi: well... I guess it was kinda... different...
Opal: ... AHAHAHAH!!! That's even funnier than the coconut song! (Which we don't own... thank god!) Ahem... I've got a loverly bunch of coconuts, da da da da da... all standing in a row, bum bum bum, some are big and some are bigger and some are as big as your head! ...I really do not know the words.
Chibi: ...anyway... review and tell us if the whole 'yesterday' thing was as ridiculous as it sounded... seriously, it sounded good when I FIRST thought of it...
