Yay, Joey sketch! Beware--jealously shines through! Not half as bad as Kaiba, but still!
Joey
Second Best
We been trough a lot tagetha, Yug an' me. Duelist Kingdom; Battle City; da virtual world; even dat whole shebang wit Dartz.
I was dere.
But no one seems ta notice.
It's all "Yugi dis" an' "Yugi dat"—what happened ta Joey Wheeler, eh?
I made it ta second place in da Duelist Kingdom tournament. I hit da semi-finals at Battle City.
But no one cares, do dey?
I'm just da sidekick, da random.
Eh, I guess I shouldn't be whinin'—after all, if not for Yug and dat Yami guy, I'd be stuck in da Shadow Realm. Or bait fer dat Leviathan.
I know Yug doesn't like bein' in da spotlight—but wit all da stuff he's done, dat's where he'll always be.
An' me?
Shoved off to da side, like always.
Man…I'm startin' ta sound like Kaiba. But dat jerk deserves ta be decked a few times. Cut down ta size, ya know?
Da thing is…I worked jus' as hard as Yugi an' his buddy Yami did. An' da only people who seem ta care are Serenity and Mai. Yug always comes first ta everyone else. Always talkin' about the things he did, da stuff he's gotta do. Sometimes I just wanna…
Ah, what am I sayin'? Yugi's da best friend a guy could have. He knows how ta cheer people, up, ta make 'em laugh.
Maybe I oughtta stop complainin' an' pay more attention ta what I already have. Good friends; a lovin' sisteh; a nice gal.
But…it's hard ta know dat, no matteh how hard ya try, you'll only eveh end up second best.
