Sorry it took so long to update. I've been really busy lately. Please don't get mad at me!

-------------------------------------------------

Mai looked out the window to look at the soft raindrops that splattered against the window. The sky was so clouded that she could barely see outside. This new job was definitely more exciting than her other job, but was still boring. All the people in the testing department seemed to be friendly enough. All except for one.

The person who had given her the tour and showed her what to do had finished quite a while ago. She was now looking down at a strange looking glove and counting the minutes until it was over.

After what seemed like hours, her shift was over. She was dead tired from reading all night and wanted nothing more than to go home.

"Seven o' clock. Time to go." Mai said, looking up at the clock. She put the glove in her bag and made her way for the door. She was stopped a few times by other employees who wanted to tell her 'good job' or to give some tips.

It seemed like forever until she could break through the crowd and go through the doors. She sighed and walked down the long hallways into the lobby. She was about to leave the large automatic doors in the front, when she realized she didn't have an umbrella. The weather had been perfect when she left this morning.

"What's a little rain?" She asked herself to try to cheer herself up. And with that, she exited the building.

She was walking over to her convertible, when she heard someone call her name. She sighed. "Another person who wants to congratulate me on the new job." And pretended not to hear them calling.

When she reached her car, someone put a hand on her shoulder. She turned to look at who it was and gasped.

She saw Joey panting and absolutely soaked. "Hey, Mai." He said, smiling.

"What are you doing here? Were you waiting in the rain the whole time?" Mai asked, surprised to see him here.

"You told me to meet you here at five o' clock. So, I waited for you to come. It was a little later than I thought, though." He grinned. Mai had totally forgot about the date. She was so excited about the new job and everything else that was going on, that she completely forgot.

"I-I'm sorry. I just got a new job and my hours are different. I'm just so used to saying five. Now, my shift is over at seven. Sorry to make you wait in the rain.

"No, it's not a problem. A little rain can't hurt me." He flexed his muscles and Mai laughed. "So, do you have an answer yet?" He asked hopefully.

"Yes, I have." She lied. She felt bad about making him wait in the rain for two hours that she couldn't say no. "You free this Sunday?"

"Yeah. Of course I am." He said with a surprised look. "If you give me your address, I can pick you up at six."

"Sounds good." Mai said and started to search through her bag for a pen and paper.

"Whoa! What is that?" He asked, pointing to the glove.

"Oh, this?" She took it from the bag and handed it to him. "It's the newest item by Kaiba Corp. It's for this one game called 'Duel Monsters' or something like that."

Joey turned it over in his hands to get a better look. "Cool! This is one of those things that Yugi would like! Though, I must say, I am a pretty good duelist too." He smiled and handed it back.

"I would give one to Yugi and you, but it's still in the experimental stage." She put the glove back in the bag. "You know what? It's too wet right here. Let's go to the café and I'll give you the address there."

"Sounds good to me." Joey smiled and looked at Mai's car. "Can I drive?"

"No." Was Mai's simple answer. "It's my car, so I get to drive."

"Fine." Joey sighed and jumped into the passenger's seat.

-------------------------------------------------

Once they reached the café, they were both soaked and laughing. They ran inside to the warmth of the shop and ignored the people who were staring at them.

"I told you I was a good driver." Mai said through boughs of laughter.

"A good driver? You broke at least ten laws back there!" Joey said jokingly.

"But that's what makes it fun."

They both took a seat at a table and Mai took out a pen and a piece of paper. "Here's my address." She said after she scribbled it down.

Mai was about to leave when Joey grabbed her arm to stop her. "Before I forget, I think this is yours." He put something in her hand. "See you this Sunday." He said smiling.

Mai looked down in shock to see her locket. She felt around her neck and noticed that it was gone. "Where- when-" She fumbled with her words.

"I found it on the ground yesterday and figured it must be yours." He said with a slightly forced smile.

"Thank you. A friend gave this to me a long time ago. I don't know what I would do if I had lost it."
