She had not known how long she would have to wait. Joey and Kaiba had been in a huge fight for about four months and had only been speaking for roughly a month now. She hadn't spoken to him by herself often, even online, in all this time, mostly because Joey kept having her add him to their conversations, which made him go offline.
But thankfully they were talking now, and even hanging out at Joey's again. So one night she thought she'd try again, but was very cautious. You see, he had planed to go visit a friend that happened to live five hundred miles away. She was sure that he was going to ask her out when he got there, so she decided to tactfully find out what his intentions were, starting with asking the girl if she would say yes if he asked her out. She had said possibly, but want sure.
She than asked him if he was planning on asking Emily out, and her heart leapt when he said no, that he didn't want a long distance relationship. She was so excited, and started shaking even more than she had when she first asked him. And this time she needed help too. So she asked Emily for advice, and told her what was going on. And finally she managed to ask him out, thanks to Emily and all of her helpful advice.
