Chapter 3: Now and forever!
Walking down a long and deserted street, where tiny cherry blossoms lay lonely on the street.
Their sweet smell filled the air.
Serenity didn't know were she was, but she couldn't stop walking and the street didn't seem to end. She just kept walking down the street. Suddenly, at the horizon, the silhouette of a person appeared.
"Wait!!" Serenity yelled. She started running, but after two meters she tripped, and hit the ground painfully.
Ouch! Out of her scraped up knee blood dripped on the ground, forming a small pool.
With one strong pull, Serenity stood back on her feet.
"C'mon sis, It's not that bad." A familiar voice said.
"........J-J-Joey??"
"Yup! It's me alright!" Whiteout any hesitation Serenity flew into his arms.
Together, finally. Serenity closed her eyes. Now and fore ever.
Suddenly she felt his hand run down her spine, grabbing her but. She smacked into the wall, struggling against the burning kisses in her neck.
This couldn't be true...... this wasn't Joey.........it was just impossible. She felt a hand climb up her leg, moving underneath her skirt. Screaming, and with all her strength she pushed the guy away. And indeed, Joey was gone and so was the bright sky. In his place there stood a brown hared man, his pleading eyes stared into hers.
"Serenity......my sweet Serenity....."he whispered, touching her face. "Don't like it?" Serenity couldn't say a word.
"Answer me!" He suddenly yelled and grabbed her face tightly, still Serenity didn't say a word. The next moment she was laying on the ground, raindrops splashing in her face.
"Leave me alone....."she sobbed. "just go......"He didn't listen to her, instead of that he came closer to her and gently rubbed her leg, his hand going up again to a place where Serenity certainly didn't want to be touched by him......nor anybody else.
"Go away.......go away.....go away......."She whispered. "Go away....go away.....GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"
"Aaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Serenity sat up strait in her bed, she was wet all over from the tears and sweat.
"Girl, girl, girl, what's the matter?" Mai's gentle voice spoke to her. "Did you had a bad dream?" Horrified Serenity thought back at the dream, and curled up as a cat to hide her tears.
Mai, who had no idea what happened, pulled Serenity in a sisterly hug, hoping to comfort her.
They would have sat there like that for the whole day, if Mai didn't had to go to work.
Mai told Serenity that she knew some one that could help find her brother, she would drop her at his place on the way to work. Serenity had lend some clothes from Mai, not that there sizes were exactly the same (with reason, if you know what I mean) but luckily it wasn't that bad.
Mai was chit-chatting all the way about this and that, while Serenity was just looking vaguely out of the window of Mai's convertible. It was a short trip, they arrived in no time.
"Here you are!" Mai announced happily. "Just talk to the guy behind the counter, he'll surely help you. Bye!"
"Bye........"Serenity answered quietly. She entered the shop, that was filled from top to bottom with games, action figures and even more games. Behind the counter stood a young man with an extraordinary haircut. He smiled at her, and she tried her best to smile back. All her attention was drawn to the posters on the wall, with the most weird creatures on it.
"Can I help you?" The man behind the counter asked her.
"Well......ummm.....yes, I-"Just as she wanted to start speaking she couldn't made herself because of the noise of a motorcycle.
A brown hared guy entered the shop, Serenity looked around and as their eyes met the guy started to blush wildly.
"Hi Tristan!" The shopkeeper greeted him.
"Uh....hi Yugi". Tristan answered keeping his eyes fixed on Serenity, who just turned around and started explaining to Yugi.
"I see....."Yugi said. "So what's your brothers name?"
"Eehh...Joseph, but everybody calls him Joey." She replied.
"Look, there are hundreds of Joey's walking the streets of this city." Tristan mixed into the conversation. "Don't you know his last name?"
"Wheeler.....Joey Wheeler". A few seconds of silence followed. Yugi and Tristan both stared at Serenity.
"You mean y-"Yugi couldn't finish his sentence because Tristan shouted:
"YOU are his sister!?!?!?!?"
"Uhmmm......yeah...."Serenity was kind of freaked out about Tristan's reaction.
Before Yugi could say another thing, Tristan had offered to bring her to Joey, that he was his best friend. He seemed to be telling the truth, so Serenity accepted the offer.
She sat down on his motorcycle, and when they started to speed up she wrapped her arms around his waist. Tristan's face was now as red as tomato.
Tristan knew Joey for a very long time, and he hardly ever talked about his sister, except that time at the duelist kingdom, when he needed the prize money for her operation.
They had arrived at a garage, and Tristan told Serenity to wait outside, that he would get Joey.
"Hey! Is Wheeler in?" He asked one of the employees.
"No, he was fired yesterday! You didn't know?"
"Damnit!" He had completely forgot about that!
"And?" Serenity asked when Tristan came outside. "Is he coming?"
"Uuhh.......No, he took a day off." Tristan lied, he didn't want to give Serenity a wrong impression of her brother. "He's probably in the park."
And off they went again.
"Which park are we going?" Serenity asked.
"To the 'Roads of live park." Tristan replied. "There are different roads you can choose, just as in life."
"Aha......"
When they had arrived they split up, and searched the three roads. They met each other at the small playground. Small kids ruined the drawing that Serenity had made there yesterday, but she didn't care, she could always make a new one.
Tristan came up to her.
"Nothing......"Serenity started to doubt if Tristan had any idea where Joey might be.
A cold wind made the leaves rustle and clouds darkened the sky. Raindrops spat on the ground, and slowly washing everything away.
"It has no use standing here." Tristan said. "I'll take you to my house."
Serenity, who was just wearing a t-shirt shivered. Brrrrr.......Her mind worked on top speed. She didn't want to go to his house.......she didn't trust him that well.
"Wait...can't you take me to Joey's house?" She asked pleading.
"Yeah, that's a good idea". Tristan replied. When they arrived at his motorcycle, Serenity felt something warm glide down her shoulders. Tristan had laid his coat over her shoulders.
"You need this more than I do." Serenity felt her temperature rise.
"T-t-thank you." She stammered shyly.
Even Tristans coat couldn't stop the rain to soak her. When they arrived to Joey's apartment (what was the same apartment where Serenity was the day before) she knocked with her frozen hands on the door.
He's never going to hear that. Tristan said and gently pushed her aside. Then he gave one hell of a karate kick against the door, Serenity was surprised that the door didn't break.
"What the fck!?!? You don'hafta break down tha whole house ya stupid idiot!!!!!!!"
An angry platinum blond guy opened the door. "Tristan!!!!!" He yelled. "You're gonna pay if ya break tha door!!!!" Serenity had a hard time understanding what that guy actually was saying, in the mean time she was looking at him.....that was her brother. He turned his head in her direction and his angry expression disappeared like snow in the sun.
"S-S....Serenity?"
She just nodded, she couldn't say a word, her throat was strangled by tears. She flew into his arms, crying her eyes out. Many years of separation and pain came out. Not even Joey could keep his eyes dry.
When Serenity calmed down a bit they all went in, because they were freezing. Joey gave Serenity some towels, dry clothes and showed her the bathroom. It was a small bathroom, but luckily it was clean.
Serenity dried herself and changed clothes. When she looked into the mirror she had to laugh, Joey's clothes were way to large for here and now she looked as a skater.
When she came out, she took the chance to look around a bit. The apartment was small, but big enough for her. At the end of the small hall were she was standing in was the living room.
It was one big mess of pizza boxes and empty cola cans.
At least I get to see what he's been eating in the last couple of years. Serenity joked to herself.
Out of an other room she heard Joey and Tristan arguing. She had no idea what they were arguing about, not that she really cared either.
She sat down, and looked around. This must have been a pretty room, when it wasn't this messy.........
Then Joey came in, Tristan had already left, sitting down next to her.
"So.....what have you been doing after the divorce?" Serenity asked.
"Well, dad didn't get any better....he was still an alcoholic" (A/N: c'mon we all know that story, right?)Joey said. "How about you?"
"We first moved to Europe, then to America......and now I'm here." Serenity didn't feel like telling her live story....she tell him sometime. Later.
A short silence fell.....they had no idea what to say to each other.
Serenity had a happy feeling. She was back where she belonged. And being back felt good.
(A/N):I'm back!!! And luckily with no bones broken! Finally! I'm done! With this chapter then, cuz there are many more to come!!!!
