"Ding dong," Joey jerked awake suddenly.
"Arr," he took a deep yawn and thought of going back to sleep, "Nah," he spoke to himself looking at the time: 12:17, "Four minutes earlier than yesterday."
He got up and walked into his on suite bathroom, turned the hot tap of his shower on and then reached for the cold tap, also turning it on.
He started to pull off his baby dragon boxers but then his cellphone recieved a message.
He carried on pulling off his boxers, thinking that he would check the text message later. He stepped into the shower, after sweeping his hand under the fountain of water spouting out of the shower nozzle, and wet his hair. "Mmm," he said to himself, showers were always so refreshing in the morning.
He preceded to put shaving foam onto his face and slice his razor through it. He then started to wash his hair and body, finishing with a dallop of conditioner.

He wrapped a towel around his waist, that was good. "AARGH," Joey jumped, Mai was sitting on his bed, "Er, you mind!" he indicated to his cupboard, Mai turned around, "You mind," he said again, she got up,
"Call me when you're done"
Joey shuffled through his drawers, what could he wear that made him look good? "Aha," he settled on a lime green top and jeans, splashed on some aftershave and opened his door after shoving his messy room under the bed.
"You can come in now," Mai sniffed the air, Joey smelled really good.
"About yesterday," she started, "What!" Joey was looking at her oddly, as if he was considering something. Suddenly Mai became very self conscious. What was she wearing? She looked down trying to make it not very obvious.
"Yes, yesterday, er, um, it felt wrong," Joey blurted it out.
Mai sighed, so she wasn't mad,
"But..." he proceeded, "there's only one way to figure it out," he left the sentence hanging.
Was he saying what she thought he was? He leaned in, oh, why not, she lent forward a bit too. He took her waist and pulled her forward all the way. Their lips met, nothing felt wrong, it just felt perfect. He pushed her for more, she obliged. 2 minutes later they were gasping for air. Mai blushed as Joey stroked her arm, sending shivers down her back.
"That was nice"
"A compliment? From the Wheeler?" He looked so confused that she hugged him, she didn't care what others would think. This was right.
Joey was taken aback from the sudden burst of affection, but he relaxed immediately, then he stiffened as his phone rang again. Mai looked up at him daring him to answer the phone. He answered it. It was the text message he had neglected earlier. Of course, it was Yugi, asking if he wanted to come to the arcade. Joey replied that he would see Yugi in 10 minutes.
"Well...I gotta go. Arcade"
"You gotta go?" Mai was being sarcastic, they both knew Joey didn't gotta go to the arcade, he wanted to.
Joey smiled sheepishly, "Come," he said holding out his hand, " Mai took it uncertainly, she had never gone to hung out with them before, but she really wanted to be with Joey.
