Chapter 3: Getting Closer?

Over the past few days, after practicing at the dance studio, Jou was actually showing some improvement. Ms.Garett stopped yelling at him, but still criticized his posture sometimes. Many death-glares were shot from Brandy to the two, and they shot their own glares back. But nothing physical or verbal happened yet.

One Saturday afternoon, Jou was at his apartment trying to stay as cool as he can, (For there was a heat advisory all that weekend), when his phone started ringing. He picked it up and mumbled irritably, "Hello?" "Hi Jou," Anzu's cheery voice replied. Jou immediately sounded cheery, "Oh, hey, what's up Anzu?"

"This heat is killing me, and Honda's air conditioner broke down, so he invited us to the pool. Do you want to come?" Dirty thoughts of Anzu in a bikini corrupted Jou's mind. He pushed those thoughts away, "Um, sure, I'll be there!" "Cool, I'll see you then!" Then she hung up. "Yes! I'm going to the pool dad!" He yelled running out the door. Ten minutes later, he came back, "Oh yeah, I need my trunks." "You're a genius son," his father chuckled.

Surprisingly, the public pool did not have a lot of people. Anzu figured that they were all at the beach. "I'm going to change, ok?" she told the guys as she left to the changing rooms. "Honda just stripped down to his trunks that were a bright pink with yellow polka dots. People stared at him with sweatdrops. Yugi moved slowly away and then ran to the changing rooms. Jou followed.

"Huh? Where did everybody go?" Honda asked.

In the female changing rooms, Anzu had just got of the stall, dressed in a blue floral bikini top and matching bikini bottom. I think this makes me look fat, she thought with a frown. "Oh God, do not tell me you are wearing that?" Asked an annoying voice, which Anzu thought was familiar.

She turned around and saw that it was her enemy, Brandy. "What are the chances?" she mummered to herself. "Are you here by yourself or what?" she sneered Brandy. "No. I have friends unlike some tacky-looking bitches I know. I am talking about you, you know," Anzu sneered back. "Whatever slut," She said, walking out. "Oh, YOU'RE talking, you're the whore!" she yelled back, feeling extremely pissed. Ok, relax Anzu. Get into happy, nice mode for your friends, she thought. She took a deep breath and walked out with a big smile on her face.

"What's with that girl?" a random person commented.

"Marco!" Jou yelled. "This sucks!" Honda yelled back. "What sucks?" Anzu asked approaching the side of the pool her friends were in. All three males stopped to gawk at her.

"Um, yeah, my eyes are up here," she commented. Which made all three of them blush. "Do you want to play Marco-Polo?" Honda asked. "Nah, I just want to jump in!" she yelled, going in with a huge splash. / Hey Yami, you should have a little fun too./What do you mean/ the pharaoh asked back through their mind link. "Yu-Gi-Oh!"

And was Yami instead of Yugi in those little black swimming trunks. "Water!" he yelled as he started drowning. In only three-foot deep water. "What's wrong Yugi?" Jou asked. "Water! Water! Dear Ra save me!" "O…k," Anzu said slowly.

"Hey, look, there's an ice cream place!" Jou exclaimed, "I like ice cream, who wants some?" "I do," Anzu said. "Ok, let's get some." The two exited the pool, which left Honda to have to deal with the pharaoh who was afraid of water.

"I love ice-cream, what flavor do you like?" Jou asked. Anzu thought, "Hm…strawberry, I guess." "I like chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, chocolate-chip mint, banana, and all the flavors in the rainbow!" Anzu sweatdropped, "Ok, we established that you liked all foods a long, long time ago."

Soon it was there turn and Anzu ordered strawberry and Jou ordered chocolate-chip mint. Anzu turned around and started walking when she bumped into Brandy which caused her cone to fall all over her chest. Brandy snickered, "Loser."

That got Jou pissed and he said, "Witches can't float so…" A huge splash was heard as he pushed her into the pool. Brandy started yelling for her life. "Wow, the witch can't swim," Jou whistled. Anzu was still slowly panicking about the melting pink ice cream on her chest.

"Um...I'll get this off you," Jou said blushing. Without thinking, he got napkins from a nearby stand and started wiping her upper chest, catching the drips that were trying to go lower.

Ok, this is so wrong on so many levels! Not to mention perverted! This is Jou we're talking about! What should I do without being awkward? Jou seemed to finally notice what he was doing, and blushed, "Um, ok, this is wrong on so many levels." "That's just what I was thinking. Thanks for trying to err…help." "Yeah, let's just pretend this never happened," Jou said. "Yes. This whole incident never happened and will never be mentioned to another soul."

"You bastard!" Brandy yelled. She shoved Jou from behind and he fell on top of Anzu. His ice cream cone fell on her hair. But Brandy's evil was not yet completed. She then pushed the both of them into the pool.

Both were now pissed off to the extreme. You could see the fire glow in their eyes. Honda and Yugi, (Who had switched places with Yami), got out of the pool. Provoking the wrath of Anzu and Jou was a very bad thing. "Oh, Brandy, do you like makeovers?" Anzu asked in a maliciously sweet voice.

"Ah, I think today was a very...interesting day," Jou said. "Yes, despite the fact we got kicked out of the pool for awhile, Brandy still has a make over she will never forget," Anzu added. The two were walking home together as the sun started to set. (Yugi and Honda left early.)

"You know, you looked really cute in those little green trunks," Anzu sighed randomly, "green is a good color for you." "Thanks…um Anzu…?" She looked at him, "Yes?" Jou blushed and looked back down, "Eh, it's nothing." "Oh, ok…" My mind is so confused. Do I really like Anzu as more than or friend or what? Jou thought. I wonder what he wanted to say, Anzu thought. Maybe it was the sunlight, or the sparkles of the drying water on his face, but, something about Jou at that moment made her, for a moment, think of Jou as more than a friend.

Zana: Yes! Another chapter down! This was more of just a comedy/filler chapter. What to expect next time? Anzu's big, but not so big secret! That's right folks!

Jou: Ok…what about the whole dancing thing?

Zana: There will be more of that too! Plez do your thang and R&R! I really appreciate it when you do! And prove that cousin of mine wrong! Until next time, ja na!
