Chapter 2
Joey Wheeler sat in his apertment, his chocolate eyes fixated on the TV. He was board out of his mind, as usual. His sister, Serenity, was out with either Tristan, his best friend,or Duke Devlin. It was hard to keep track. Joey really didn't think anyone was good enough for his sister. But he allowed it as long as Serenity was happy.
He shifted for the first time in what seemed like hours and looked around his crappy apartment. It was so dirty it was almost unlivable, but Serenity did what she could to keep it clean. They couldn't afford much. Joey had a poor paying job so they couldn't have the best.
About four years ago Joey lived with his father, who was abusive. Besides going to bed every night aching and stinging all over, he couldn't stand the separation between himself and Serenity. When he was old enough he and his sister gathered some money and bought a place of their own. 'When I raise some more money I'll make this old shack better.......... for Serenity's sake.' Joey thought to himself. 'I didn't run away from my dad just to live here.'
This made Joey a little frustrated at himself. He got up and went to the kichen, looking for soming to eat. (Needless to say they didn't have enough food for snacks). Just then Serenity threw open the front door. "Hey, Joey," she said in her friendliest voise. As she closed the door behind her, she asked him "I thought you were going to do something with Yugi today." "Na, I think he's doing something with Tea," Joey replied, absent-mindedly. Serenity signed. "I told you, Joey, she's in Japan!" Joey had to think for a moment. "Oh yea, I remember now, she left yesterday, right?" Serenity rolled her eyes. She swore, most of the stuff she said to her older brother went in one ear and out the other. "Yes, Joseph, that's correct," she answered an annoyedvoice. But she couldn't stay mad at him.
"Oh yea," Serenity added. "Tea wanted me to tell you that she wants us to come down there too." "When?" Joey asked perplexed. "Oh, next week," Serenity replied as she went into the other room to change. "Sis,.. "Joey said in a quieter voise, "...I want to go, but we don't have enough money for one of us!" Serenity popped her head out of the side of the wall, hiding the rest of her body. "I know, Joey," she answered. "...but Tea isn't stupid. She already gave me the tickets for both of us, round trip."
"Where did she get that kind of money?"
"Uh.....Joey, her dancing career!? "
"Oh yea."
Serenity went back into her room to finish changing. Joey thought about it. Going back to Japan where he used to live would be fun. Most of the memories would nice to reminise about. Others (like the ones with his father), not so good. However, thats where heused to go toschool,where hement Yugi, and where all those tournaments that were held. He had to admit he missed it.
Then something popped into his mind.......... thats where he met Mai. And left her.
She was the most gorgeous women he had ever met. Her blonde hair and violet eyes were mesmerizing, and beautiful. She was also the onlywoman he had ever loved, (except for his mother and Serenity, of course). He would never have left if he had the choice, but when he did, he needed to badly. Everything he was going through was too much for him and he wasn't thinking about Mai twenty-four-seven. (but probably 19-5). He hadn't thought about her much after he moved. She gone.
Just then Serenity came out of her room and sat down causally on the couch. "Hey Serenity?" Joey questioned
"Yeah?" Serenity anwsered as she threw her head around to look at her brother
"Isn't that where Mai lives now?"
Serenity was now excited about the conversation. She threw her legs under herself and turned aroundso her whole body was facing her brother. She loved it when ever Joey talked about Mai. She knew Mai liked Joey just as much as he liked her. (which was very much). Serenity thought they were so cute as a couple and wanted them to get together more than anything, she knew it would make Joey happy.
"Yes," she replied a little mischievously
Joey reconized that face. "What?"
Serenity then feltcompassion for her brother. He was trying to hide his love. (Even though she knew everything about it.)
"Oh Joey. I know how you feel, and I some good news. I talk to Tea a lot. She told me that she was going to meet Mai there and stay at a motel near her apartment!" Serenity nearly squealed the last words.
Joey thought about this for a while. It was the best news he had recived in a long time! A grin crept onto his face. Mai. Seeing Mai again was something he had dreamed of doing for a long time. Now getting the opportunity, not only was in something he wanted to do, now, it was something he felt he had to do.
