"Mai, Serenity," he called hugging Mai. She lifted her arms and hugged him back.
"Thank you Joey, you and the others freed us. Thank you so much, all of you," she said through shameful tears.
"So you
two are ok, you're human again,"
Tristan asked, still holding his katana, ready to strike if
needed.
"Yes Tristan were fine now,"
Serenity said standing, and kissing him softly, as a thank you for
saving her life, and her humanity. Tristan stood there, blushing,
amazed at how she could be kissing him of all people. As Joey was
helping Mai to her feet, he nearly dropped her when he saw this. He
leapt straight into Tristan.
"What the hell do you think you're doin' kissing my sister!" he shrieked.
"Big brother, please, stop this. He didn't kiss me, I kissed him," Serenity pleaded with Joey. This floored him. He was at a loss for words.
"I can't believe this," he finally managed to say. "Well, if you want to date Tristan, I guess I can't stop you, you're old enough to choose your own guy. I'm just glad its him.," he told her, smiling down at the young brunette girl. She immediately hugged him, she was so happy.
"Thank you so much big brother. I choose him, and it means al lot to me that you approve." and she ran to Tristan who scooped her up in his arms, and spun her in a circle in the air. Then he gently brought her down and kissed her.
"I don't know what to say Ren. I've been wanting to ask you out for the longest time. I just didn't know if you'd ever say yes. That and the fact Joey would have killed me," he added with a smile, hugging his new girlfriend.
"Oh, I'm still gonna kill ya Tristan," Joey said jokingly. "Now what do you say to us getting out of here," he suggested.
"Sounds great," Tea said, grabbing Yugi's hand, and lightly kissing him on the cheek, causing him to turn a deep shade of crimson.
"I think I saw a ladder along the wall where we first fell," Yami added, walking back the way they came, Yugi and Tea following close behind, hand in hand. Tristan and serenity following their lead, right behind them. Then Joey was about to leave, but Mai stopped him.
"Hey Wheeler, I have a few things for you," she said leaning down kissing him passionately.
"Wow, Mai, I wasn't expecting that," he said, looking like he was about to float to heaven.
"I know, that's why I did it," she said winking. Then she turned to follow the others.
"Hey Mai, didn't you say you had a few things for me," the tall blonde questioned.
"Ya, the other thing was a girlfriend, and you better not say no," she called back over her shoulder.
"Are you nuts! How could I ever say know to you Mai," he replied smiling as wide as his face would allow, chasing after her. When he caught up, he grabbed her hand. And as they walked along the corridor she rested her head along his shoulder, her golden hair falling to the side.
