Years pass like minutes, before you know it, they're gone. With years also go many emotions, and events. Events like the one I shall tell you.
Love is a mysterious thing. You could have it one minute, then its gone. But for many, love is achieved then it remains. Love is truely magical, nothing else is like it, and nothing could replace it. Love is when you're much more than friends, and you want to spend every passing moment with them, every passing minute, every passing year and all after that
Mai stood there in her favorite place in the world, the bar. That was pretty pathetic when she thought about it. It wasn't like she got space or time to think there. It was dark and gloomy in there. It was especially loud in the bar. The only real reason she liked it was because to her, it was the only place she had fun. Where she laughed. But it wasn't the right fun when she thought about it. Every guy that passed by her either gave her a stupid look or tried to hit on her. She hated it, she couldn't stand it, to tell the truth, but she was used to it. It had happened almost all her life.
She had had only one love. When she looked back on it, almostthree years later now, she wasn't sure if it was love. If she was sure of whatever feelings Joey Wheeler had for her, she would have confronted him. Maybe looked into a relationship, but she wouldn't have confronted him because she was in denial, stupid denial. Mai felt weak.
Mai looked on her wrist to check the time, 11:30 pm. She got there at 11:00! She had been sitting there thinking about Joey for the past 30 minutes! Now she really felt like an idiot. This wasn't her. She wasn't supposed worry or think about inmature guys that probably didn't give a crap about her anyway. Which samed odd to her. He seemed to care last time she saw him, a lot.
When Mai finally came back to her sences she realized she late to meet a friend. Someone she had not seen for a long time, Tea Gardner. When Mai first met Tea, she hated her. She was all about friendship speaches and believing in eachother. Mai was surprised when she realized how excited she was to see her after all this time. They were really good friends when they last saw eachother. Tea thought Mai was less mean and snobish and Mai thought that Tea had finally grown up a little.
Mai jumped in her car and sped out of the bar's parking lot to the airport. She enjoyed the breeze on her face. It made her feel free. The freedom she never had. As her long blonde hair flew behind her on the highway, her mind, yet again, drifted off to Joey. "I wonder if Tea knows where he is," Mai pondered to herself. She shook her head. She was not going to ask Tea about Joey. "She probably doesn't know where he is either, She probably doesn't care either." She didn't care if she was in denial anymore.
Mai was in such deep thought she almost missed the airport. She was pretty sure she cut someone off in her attempt to get to the airport on the exit. This airport and all the airports she had ever been in reminded her of her traveling parents. They didn't love her, she was pretty sure When she got inside, she went to see if Tea's plane was going to be on time. It was. And it was supposed to come in any minute. Mai looked at her wrist again, 12:00. Mai thought back to the last time she talked to Tea, which was another tormenet after they defeated Dartz. Tea had said that she was going to America to try and get a dancing career. All Mai had heard from her after that was a message on her answering machine saying that she was coming back in town and wanted to see Mai. How Tea got her phone number she'd never know.
She was awaken from her thought by Tea's cheerful voice. "Hey, Mai!" Mai turned. There was Tea, but she was different. Her hair was longer and she had finally found some good looking clothes to put on. Tea ran up to Mai and hugged her. "Tea!," Mai exclaimed. "You look so different!" "You don't like it, do you?," Tea sighed as she let go of Mai. "Of course not! I love it!," "I was so worried you won't like it," "Tea, I'm not that mean. You look great! Lunch?" "O my God, Yes! Airplane food sucks!" Tea exclaimed. "Plus it'll give us time to catch up," Mai added.
When they finally got to a resturant they agreed on, and sat down. Started talking like she'd never stop. "The only thing I was thinking about the way here was what I was going to tell you about Joey!" Tea squealed. Mai wasn't going to ask, but now she didn't have to. "The last time I talked to him was last Monday. "I told him I was going to Japan and he asked me if thats where you lived." Tea explained. "Thats it?!" Mai asked. What the hell did she just say that for? Now it sounded like she was desprite! And for Joey!?
"Well that was it for then but I told him to come to Japan when he could." Mai's heart skipped a beat. She realized that she wanted to see him. She must have loved him. Thats not possible, was it?-- "Mai!?" Tea must have noticed her spacing out. "Are you ok?" "I'm fine, forget I did anything." Mai had to get a hold of her self. Joey wasn't worth the trouble. But........she had to see him again and now she would.
