Loud noises met her ears as soon as she entered the arcade.
It was quite fascinating, really, she decided. The bright lights were cheerful and the noises were friendly. She turned around in response to Joey's laugh, "What?" she suddenly noticed her mouth was hanging open and she was squeezing Joey's hand hard.
She let go, she wasn't sure if she wanted others to know that they were together yet. Just then, "OI!" it was Yugi, "Oh, hi Mai never seen you here before, Joey persuade you to come"
"I saw her on the way and invited her"
Mai was suddenly angry at Joey for not telling that they were together now, even though not even a minute ago she didn't want anyone to see.
Maybe he acted on her actions. She looked at him, he winked at her, a secret wink no one was supposed to see, except someone did.
Tristan.
He gaped at them, no, surely not, they didn't get on! Strange, but right now he had a game to play.

Mai was having a great time when she was tapped on the shoulder, she turned around, it was Joey, he winked and walked around the corner, beckoning her to follow.
She followed Joey curiously, as soon as she was around the corner, he pulled her forwards and kissed her, stroking his hands through her hair, "Lets tell them," he murmured,
"Not yet," she replied in between kisses. He pulled away,
"Yugi's my best friend, he deserves to know," he said it gently, but firmly.
Mai sighed, "Ok"
Tristan stood staring, NO WAY! He shook the thought from his mind, you're just imagining it, he told himself, but he couldn't get the image out of his mind.
Joey took Mai's hand and led her back to the hub of the arcade. Mai took a deep breath, this was the moment where she would be highly embarrassed, why she didn't know, but she would be. "Yugi, come 'ere"
"No secrets," Serenity stated as-a-matter-of-factly. It was a well known rule that this group didn't keep secrets from eachother, due to a couple of past incidents, "Ren, get a life, this is none of your business," and under his breath, "Loser"
"Why are you and Mai holding hands?" Joey hit his head with his free hand while Mai blushed furiously beside him,
"What did I just say, Brat? Did I or did I not just say it was none of your business?" Serenity grinned gleefully,
"Everyone, guess what-" Joey clamped his hand around her shouting mouth, not letting her say one more word,
"You are such a retard," he spat in her ear, "when we get home, we are leaving now, I'm getting mom to punish you,"
Serenity pleaded with her eyes, but Joey just picked her up, still holding closed her mouth, and carried her out, while spectators watched amazed.
