Our Sucky Little Keyboard That No One Cares About and Will Probably Never Look At (OSLKTNOCAWPNLA for short)
Is OSLKTNOCAWPNLA even a word? Hmm, somehow, I don't think so...but, I can make up words! So can you! Like Fudgeamania! (watches readers back away slowly) ...oops?

"So Princeton Girl," Joey asked later that night as he and Julia walked around the garden paths outside. "Would you tell me who you are if I guess right?"

"Maybe." Julia answered, her hands clasped together against her chest as she walked beside the tall male. She watched the sky as she walked.

"Maybe." Joey copied Julia's answer, nodding. "How about. . .?"

He thought for a moment before smiling. "Twenty-five questions?"

"How about ten?" Julia asked in reply, raising an eyebrow.

"Well," he smiled. "It's as good as I can get."

He turned to Julia, and held out a hand to her. Julia smiled slightly but shook her head and continued walking. Joey withdrew his hand and hurried to catch up to her.

"Okay first question. You do actually go to North Valley High School right?"

"Of course." Julia answered, rolling her eyes.

Joey chuckled lightly. "Well, I'm just checking. I mean, you wouldn't really know until the end right?"

The two walked in silence for a moment before Joey asked another question. "Okay, next question. Were you disappointed when you found out I was DuelistBoy?"

He watched the female for a moment, and added, "Be honest."

Julia smiled, blinking slowly. "Surprisingly, no."

"Did you vote for me for Student Body President?"

"Surprisingly, yes."

"Really?" Joey answered, making it sound as more of a statement than a question. "Hmm. . .okay, I've got it!"

A teasing grin crossed his face as Julia smiled.

"Given a choice, would you rather have a rice cake or a Big Mac?"

Julia giggled. "A Big Mac."

Joey chuckled lightly as Julia asked, "What does that matter?"

"Well," Joey drawled, his grin still on his face. "I like a girl with a healthy appetite. And, besides,"

He pointed at her. "You just eliminated about fifty percent of the girls in the class."

Joey reached over and took Julia's hand, both teens stopping. He looked down at the shorter teenager, locking eyes with her.

He reached up and placed the palm of his hand on her left cheek. "I think I'll remember those eyes. So beautiful."

His tone had gone deeper, and came out very soft and romantic-sounding. A light blush crossed the female's face as she smiled.

"Um. . .next question." She half-whispered as she unwillingly pulled away from him and continuing to walk, the blush still evident on her face.


Inside, Tristan and Mai were upstairs on the second floor of the ballroom, talking.

"So, what's up girl?" Tristan asked, in a smooth player tone of voice as he leant against the balcony railing.

"Who are you supposed to be?" Mai asked, wrinkling her nose in disgust.

"The three musketeers," Tristan replied, smirking.

"You don't look like a candy bar."

"Well. Look, now that you and Joey are toast, okay," Tristan began, chuckling lightly. "Why don't we have our own little party?"

He moved closer to Mai, who moved backwards. "Ew! Back off Tristan!"

"Come on Mai," Tristan hushed, continuing to move closer to Mai. "I know you like me."

Mai held up a hand.

"No! Stop it! No!" she screeched.

Tristan grabbed Mai's wrist with a smirk. "Come on. . ."

Mai struggled to get away from Tristan. "No! Stop it!"

Wrenching her wrist away from Tristan, she shrieked, "Stop it!"

Yugi, who had been hearing Mai's cries, ran in front of the blonde female and unsheathed his plastic sword that had been strapped to his waist, pointing it at the male.

He pointed it at Tristan and glared slightly. "She said stop!"

Tristan frowned. "Oh yeah."

"Give me that." Tristan snapped as he ripped Yugi's sword away from him and broke it in half.

Yugi's eyes went wide and he shook lightly. "Oh God. . .oh. . ."

"I think you just saw your life flash before your eyes."

"Oh yeah?" Yugi whined in reply. "Did you see the part where I run away?"

Tristan frowned as Yugi jumped up onto the ledge of the balcony. Yugi touched his hat, a dramatic look on his face as he jumped off the balcony, landing on his feet. Two girls near by shrieked in surprise.

Yugi looked up at Tristan and Mai in surprise and grinned. "That was awesome!"

"Well, you're dead, hopper boy!" Tristan threatened as he copied Yugi's moves.

Yugi turned to the two females and nodded his head briefly. "Ladies."

With that said, Yugi ran over to the bar-counter and jumped up on top. Slipping, he spilt the drinks into the laps of the students sitting at the bar, while knocking the now-empty cups off the counter-top.

Tristan caught up and grabbed Yugi by the ankles, sending Yugi over the edge of the counter, knocking one of the bartenders into the shelves lining the wall. Yugi stood up a moment later, his cape tangled around him.

"It's over dude!" Tristan yelled, a confident tone to his voice.

"Oh yeah?" Yugi challenged.

"Yeah!"

"Well, I hate to tell you this dude," Yugi shot back, copying the way how Tristan said the word 'dude'. "But I stared in Pirates of Pan Zan for three summers in a row!"

"Oh yeah?" Tristan question, blinking in confusion.

Yugi smirked. "Say hello to act two, scene one!"

Without allowing Tristan to answer, Yugi grabbed the countertop and flipped it open. The countertop smacked Tristan in the face and sent him flying into a wall where shelves above Tristan's head held hollow pumpkins with the bottoms cut out.

As Tristan hit the wall, the force of Tristan hitting the wall shook the shelves and one of the pumpkins slid off the shelf and landed on Tristan's head.

Mai smiled happily and hurried down the stairs, running over to Yugi. She leant down to Yugi's ear and whispered something into it. Yugi's eyes went wide, a look of shock crossing his face, but he nodded enthusiastically. Mai flashed another smile as she stood back up.


Now having left the garden paths, Joey and Julia spotted a gazebo and walked towards it, hardly talking. In that same area, in front of the gazebo, chairs were lined up in rows. On the side, a few men and women were setting up music stands and more chairs, instruments sitting on the chairs.

"Wow. . ." Julia breathed, taking in the site of the gazebo. The gazebo had strands of lights outlining the shape of the gazebo, while strands of flowers wound themselves around the railing and posts. All in all, the gazebo was beautiful.

She walked up ahead slightly, smiling. Joey smiled slightly and followed her.

She stopped at the steps and Joey walked up behind her, closing the space between the two. In a low voice, he asked, "If I asked you to dance, would that count as another question?"

Julia turned around and blushed in response as she found their bodies only inches away from each other.

"There's no music." She whispered.

Joey led her into the gazebo. "So?"

Joey took Julia's hand and lifted it up, resting it on his shoulder. Julia smiled in reply. Joey smiled and then took Julia's right hand in his left, and the two started to sway.

Three musicians nearby who were getting ready for the concert, smiled and picked up their instruments. One of the violin players began to play and then, soon enough, the other two joined in.

The two teenagers continued to dance, their eyes locked, and happy smiles on their faces. Joey spun Julia twice before dipping her and slowly raising her back up.

He smiled as he let go of her and reached up, ready to pull away her mask. Julia's smile disappeared and she backed away, fingering the mask.

Joey raised his hands up in a form of defense, his palms facing Julia, an innocent smile on his face. Lowering his hands, he bowed and held a hand out to Julia. Julia smiled and slowly extended a hand, accepting his.

He pulled her close, closing the gap between their bodies as they continued to dance.

"I'll have a question." Julia invited.

Joey locked eyes with her. "Do you believe in love at first sight?"

She beamed, a blush crossing her face. "I'll let you know."

"I've seen you before." He asked, although he made it as more of a statement then a question.

Julia nodded, the loose strands of her hair swaying slightly. "Yes."

"Man," Joey whistled. "How could I've seen you before and not know who you are now?"

Julia hummed for a moment. "Maybe you were looking, but you weren't really seeing."

She smiled. "You've got one more question left."

Joey nodded and turned, plucking a rose from the strands of flowers circling the posts. He turned back to Julia, raising an eyebrow.

"Do you, Princeton Girl," he asked, holding out the rose. "feel like you've made the right choice meeting me here tonight?"

Julia, a smile still on her face, accepted the rose and sniffed it, closing her eyes. After a moment, she opened her eyes. Her eyes shimmered with happiness. "I do. And do you, Joseph Wheeler-Kaiba, even want to see me again after tonight?"

"I have to think about that." Joey replied, tilting his head to the side slightly. He sniffed lightly before smiling and replying in a husky whisper. "Absolutely."

He leaned down, licking his lips lightly and reached for Julia's mask. This time, Julia didn't stop him. He ran his fingers over the lace of the mask, preparing to pull it off. As his fingers reached the side of the mask, Julia's cell phone started to ring, signaling the alarm had gone off.

Julia pulled away.

"Not now." She whined lightly.

Joey blinked in confusion. "What?"

"I've got to go."

"You have a curfew or something?" Joey asked.

"Something like that." Julia clutched the stem of the rose in both hands. "I'm sorry, but thank you."

She smiled sadly at him. "This has been the most amazing night."

Julia, still clutching the rose, hitched up her skirt layers and hurried out of the balcony. Joey extended an arm out to her.

"Wait!" he called. "Where are you going?"

Julia turned, smiling sadly. "I'm late."

"For what?"

"Reality."

With that said, Julia hurried out of garden. Joey watched her leave and after a moment, he followed. He just found her and he wasn't going to lose her.


Star-Blue-Angel: Oh man, you got that right! Joey and Kaiba scenes, I don't know if I'll be able to write those scenes without laughing. Awww, I'm glad you like Jamie-Ross's outfit. I just made it up off the top of my head. LOL. I think our little Joey is in love! (Starry eyes) Hehehe. Speaking of French, who cares? LOL. Maybe it's just me who thinks this, but who really needs French?

scarlettWALES: (covers ears) Don't tell me, don't tell me! (closes eyes) I haven't seen many of the new episodes yet. I'm up to the point where Yugi has already lost his soul and now Yami and Weevil are dueling as well as Rex and Joey, but I missed the episode with Mai, Valon, and Joey. My poor little Australian boy! Don't tell me anymore! Hehe, see you next chapter!
