"I would like you to meet some people." Yugi said cheerfully. "Over there is Tristin." He said pointing to the person with pointy hair. "That's Serenity-" the girl waved, "And her brother Joey." Joey didn't wave or anything. He just stood there looking dumbstruck. "Everyone, this is Mai Valentine."

The girl wore mostly bright colors. A yellow shirt covered by a pink vest and a blue jean skirt. Joey wore the same outfit as Yugi; just his jacket was open showing his white shirt underneath. Tristin wore a white shirt and jeans.

Mai snapped out of her stare when she heard her name. She smiled sweetly. "Nice to meet all of you."

Serenity hit her brother on the shoulder lightly. "Say something. Its rude to just stare." She whispered to him. He seemed to snap out of it and had a blank look on his face.

"Wait…What?" He said looking around confused.

"The least you could do is pay attention. This is Mai Valentine. Say something to her."

He looked over to Mai and his face lit up. "Your that jerk from this morning!" He said pointing accusingly at her.

Tristin smacked him across the head. "Can you at least try and be polite?"

Joey held his head and his face turned bright red. "What was that for!" He screamed at Tristin. Everyone in the café turned to look over at Joey who had totally lost it. He raised his fists. "So, you wanna fight? Bring it on!" He yelled.

A couple of people at that point left not wanting to get involved with the fight. "Dude, we're in public. You're making a scene." Tristin said putting his hands in his pockets.

Mai leaned over to Yugi and whispered in his ear, "Is he always like that?"

"Yeah. Pretty much." He shrugged. "But, you get used to it."

A waitress came over to their table. She had to yell to be heard over the fight between Joey and Tristin and Serenity pleading them to stop. "Um- excuse me. Excuse me! Can you please keep it down? People are trying to enjoy their coffee." She said nervously. She seemed to be unheard. She cleared her throat. "Excuse me!" She screamed.

That got everyone's attention. They stopped bickering and looked over at the waitress. "People are trying to enjoy their coffee and if you don't keep it down, I will be forced to kick you out of this café." She said with more confidence than the first time.

Joey looked like he was about to say something, but Tristin grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pushed him into a chair next to Mai. "No more smart remarks." He said letting go of his collar and pulling a chair out for Serenity.

"Thank you." Serenity said sitting down. Tristin took a seat from another table and sat beside Yugi and Serenity. The small circular table was rather crowded, but they were all able to squeeze together.

Mai, wanting to get away from the craziness, stood up and asked, "Do any of you want something to drink?"

"Why don't I come with you? I know what everyone usually orders." Said Serenity standing up and taking a step closer to Mai.

"Um… Sure. If you want to."

"Great." She said clinging to Mai's arm and dragging her to the counter. Mai was very uncomfortable having a complete stranger hang on her arm, but was too embarrassed to say anything. Serenity started talking non-stop about anything that came to mind. Once again, it was annoying, but Mai didn't say anything.

They had to wait in line again, but it was considerably shorter because of all the people who walked out during the fight. Serenity took this opportunity to apologize about how her brother had acted.

"It's fine." Mai said quickly. "Actually, to tell you the truth, he reminds me of someone I used to know." Mai smiled as she thought back.

"Who was it?"

Mai's smiled brighter. "A very special friend."

"Really. Who?"

"That's a secret."

"One iced tea, one double tall latte, and one frappachino." Serenity said to the waitress. Mai hadn't even noticed that they had reached the counter. "Did you and Yugi already order?"

Mai nodded. "That will be nine dollars." Said the cashier, still chewing her gum like a cow. Both of the girls dug into their purses to grab their wallets, but Mai beat Serenity to it. She took out nine dollars and paid the cashier.

Serenity's money sat in her hand. "Thanks." She said putting it back into her wallet and the wallet into her little white purse.

"No problem." Serenity once again clung to Mai's arm and dragged her back to the table, talking non-stop about her favorite stores. Mai groaned slightly, but Serenity didn't seem to notice. When they returned to the table, Mai gratefully shook Serenity off her arm and sat back down next to Yugi. The table was conversing about video games and Mai was absolutely lost.

She had never been much of a video game person. She heard something about 'San Andreas' and 'Halo'. She just figured they were names of video games. Mai listened and tried to pretend she was listening.

"On level 2, you have to get the medal from that one dude-."

"I thought you were supposed to get the medal from that other dude on level 4."

"No. I'm pretty sure its level 2."

The three boys rambled on and on about how to get past certain levels. Mai looked over at Serenity, and she looked just as bored as she was. She was sipping up the last of her iced tea, which had come a while back.

Mai pulled her cell phone from her purse and checked the time. They had been there for almost two hours. She was surprised how fast the time went by. She stood up again.

"I'm sorry. I have to go to work now. Nice meeting all of you." She smiled and waved as she walked out of the cozy café. As soon as she stepped outside, a cold breeze sent a chill down her spine. She shivered and pulled her coat closer around her before walking into the crowd of people on their way to their destinations.
