a/n: hey sorry this took a bit, I'm literally failing my physics class and need to find a tutor and bring the grade up in three weeks (Or less!) read 20 chapters of Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations" and write 5 one pg papers on 5 different topics. (All in 2 weeks!) and worrying about friends. It will take a little bit of time for the next chapter I've got a some business to attend to at a funeral for somebody I knew from school.

On a positive note:

THANK YOU ALL SO SO SO SOOOOOOO MUCH FOR THE REVIEWS! You guys are awesome! So this is for you!

Chapter 2

Think of Me

"Joey WAIT!" A voice called out. Joey stopped and smirked he knew who that was, that was Mai Valentine calling out. He waited and then felt panting breath on his shoulder. He turned and stared into Mai's eyes. For some odd reason one was blue while the other a brilliant purple.

"Hey, Mai." Joey said, "What's up with the dual colored eyes?"

"Did I forget to take my contact out?" Mai asked thinking things over.

"Yeah, you did," Joey said smiling at her, "Got one missed the other."

"Thanks, but I saw your flowers, thank you!" Mai said hugging him.

Joey ran a hand through his hair, "Naw don't thank me for it, I wanna thank you! You proved theatrics can be kinda cool!"

"Yeah?" Mai questioned.

Joey nodded, "Yah."

Mai smirked, "Well there's more where that came from! I've got nineteen more productions to perform then College Tony's!"

"Busy aren't we?" Joey teased.

Mai smiled, "Not that busy, not busy enough to spare a thought for you."

"Cute, Miss Daea! That's the only part I paid any attention to!" Joey smirked, "You were in it! That was good enough!"

"Yeah well, can you spare an afternoon for early dinner with me sometime?" Mai teased.

"I think I can manage that, but aren't you in college?" Joey asked.

"Yeah, but I don't have afternoon classes! I'm a morning bird, go to bed early!" Mai smiled, "So how about Friday then?"

"Good for me!" Joey said, "Meet you on seventh and Oakdale?"

"Perfect, and in the meantime stay here and think of me. DON'T MOVE!" Mai ordered.

"Alright, Mai." Joey said as Mai ran off. He paused to stare at her billowing blonde curls flying in the wind and her long dress from the closing scene fluttering right behind her steps. He waited a few minutes before he heard a voice.

"Joey, look up!" Mai said smiling serenely.

"Hey! How'd you get up there?"

Mai smiled even broader, "It's my dressing room num nuts!"

"Nice, well I can spare a few moments wanna get out of that dress before you ruin it?"

"Sure!" Mai said running into her room. She flung on her drama sweat outfit that was lying on a nearby chair. Down below Joey heard the rustling of leaves and began to look for the source but saw nothing. In the shadows he sat awaiting.

"Why this loser?" Hiroki Mitsumi said.

"Oh is Roule becoming the Phantom?" said Jessica Narks.

"No, Jess. Mai's just a good friend, I don't want to see her make stupid choices!" Hiroki whispered.

"Still not nice, Mai's a smart girl you know that, Hiroki!" Jessica said as she got up and left.

"So Joey," Mai said emerging from her balcony in a dark black dress instead of her sweats, "Much better!"

"You know Mai, you were perfect on stage!" Joey said to her.

"Well, you better think of me then." Mai smiled.

"Always!" Joey vowed.

Mai sang: "Think of me, think of me fondly when we've said goodbye. Remember me once in a while, please promise me you'll try. When you find that once again you long to take your heart back and be free. If you ever find a moment spare a thought for me."

Joey said, "Can it be! Yes it's Mai!"

"Oh very funny my suave suitor!" Mai chuckled.

"Suave whata?" Joey asked apparently confused.

"Never, mind." Mai said smiling, "So you liked it right?"

Joey smiled, "Great."

"Yeah, so why's Mr. Macho duelist doing at a theatrical event?" Mai asked smirking and curiously.

"Tea's birthday, we figured she'd like it. She did too, she liked your performance the best." Joey said looking around at the sound of rustling leaves.

"What?" Mai asked confused at Joey's attention drifting.

"I thought I heard something," Joey started.

Mai looked around from above and spotted Hiroki, "Don't see anything, Joey."

In his hiding place Hiroki sighed a sigh of relief.

"So, Mai, we're still good for Friday right?"

"Yeah, I guess I should go in huh?" Mai asked.

Joey said, "Yeah, the last thing you need is to catch pneumonia!"

"Yeah!" Mai said laughing, "Goodnight and think of me, Joey."

"I will Mai, goodnight." Joey said walking away. Mai came in and changed for real and headed to her dorms. She opened the door to her house of a dormitory, sorts. It was a six bedroom house with 12 people in it. She saw Hiroki sitting on a chair by the fireplace.

"What is wrong with you?" Mai shouted at him.

Hiroki turned and smirked, "Didn't wanna see you with an idiot."

Mai fumed, "F-Y-I… Joey is NOT an idiot." Mai sighed, "He's so incredible, actually."

"Oh, I get this Myra Valentine fell in love!"

"Don't call me that, it reminds me of my family." Mai said fiercely.

"What happened to them?" Hiroki said opening a plethora of directions for their conversation to venture.
