Lady Ai: I'm updating this story fast because someone, Uzumaki, gave me a great review! I feel very special now with her review so I'm updating.
Yami Ai: You didn't have to throw the printer at my head ya know.
Lady Ai: Hmph, that's what you get for flirting! You are mine and mine alone.
Yami Ai: Oh! So, I can't flirt but you can?
Lady Ai: When have I ever flirted?
Yami Ai: Er, you know what I mean! You keep talking about that Chris guy, It bugs the hell outta me!
Lady Ai: That, my dear Yami, is different. First- I love him, I just think you're hot because you have Bakura's Hair, Seto's eyes and Joey's accent. Two- He doesn't return my feelings so I have no choice but to go with the next best thing; you.
Yami Ai: Oh well, that makes alot of sense...
Lady Ai: What...do..you mean?
Yami Ai: Oh, nothing! On with the chapter!

The Wedding Planner
Chapter 5
Everyone Hates Joey
Xx Last Time xX
"Father has arranged your marriage with-"
"Hey Joey! Long time no see, huh?"
"Oh...It has been a long time, hasn't it?.. ... ...Tristian."
Xx Joey's POV xX
And there he was, Tristain, wearing black dress pants, a white shirt and a black over shirt.
Tristain, the guy who promised me that he'd love me andmarry me since we were both six years old.
The same guy who would eat dirt at age seven and the guy who wet his bed until he was ten.
Tristain, now age 25, smiled as he gave me a hug. "It's so good to see you again, Joey." He nuzzled against the crook of my neck. "It's um, nice to see you too, Trist."
"I'm going to make dinner tonight, is that okay?" I nod and then turnedto Serenity. "Where's father? I need to talk with him." I smile. Yugi looked a bit creeped out, he know's this smile. It's the 'do-you-want-to-die-slowly-and-painful-or-fast-and-bloody?' smile. I've used this power against Yami countless times. And it only failed once, which was when Yami decided never to ignore it again. (A/n: Joey's such a nice boy! n.n)
"Um, sure big brother. Let's go right now." Serenity took her keys and we both left. It's when we are outside I notice what she is wearing. "Um, sis. What're ya wearin'?" She smiled. "You like? Mai bought this for me. Said it brought out my curves." My eye twitched.
My lil' sister was wearing a white tank top and light blue hiphuggers that were really low. Thank god that she was wearing a black leather jacket (A/n: the same one that Mai wore-the purple one from battle city). Serenity also had all her nails done. They looked glossed and had a white tip.
"Um, big brother? Is something wrong?"
"Eh? Oh, no. Nothing, it's nothing. Let's go." As soon as I talk with dad, I'm talking with Mai.
XxXx
"When did I say it was okay? Huh? When did I give the okay so that you can just marry me off!"
"Look, son, this is for your own good. Tristain is a nice young man who will support you and apparently he loves you."
"Eh-uh-en-er. Grr, we haven't seen each other since we were FIFTEEN YEARS OLD! TEN YEARS DAD! TEN!"
He isn't fazed and just takes a sip from his coffee cup. His dirty blonde hair almost covers his hazel eyes. Everyone told me I look like my dad but over the years since mom past away , his hair lost color and his eyes grew dull. But for me, I always had this fire inside. I always had a knack for cheering people up and I guess that's one reason I'm such a good wedding planner.
"Joey, my son. You know it's in the family that we the parents have to assign your marriage."
"What about you and ma?" I raised my eyebrow. He sighed and looked up at me with a sad smile. "Son, we had to get married too. But we got married to late."
Oh yes, the story of our lives. You see, mom and dad had an arranged marriage but I thought it had been out of love. Anyway, before they got married, ma had me and then Serenity. A few years (I was 4, Serenity was 2) later they got married. Sadly though, a week into the marriage my mom came down with a sickness that cost her life. Serenity, thank god, wasn't at all effected by it because she was so young and she forgot that part of her life.
"But you loved her anyway. Both of you exchanged vows of love. Tristain may love me but...I don't...don't have thoes feelings." I looked away and saw my sister. She was again gazing at her ring. "OI! WHAT THE HELL? How come I have an arrangened marriage and Serenity doesn't?"
Dad laughed. "Because, son, she's a girl. Girls decided weather or not the arrangement shall go on. Serenity didn't want to get married with her partner. Oh, I've been wanting to know, Serenity. Who gave you that big rock on your finger?" Serenity blushed and smiled. "I almost forgot to tell you dad. I'm getting married with Mai!"
"A girl? I didn't know you bent that way." Serenity chuckled as dad gave her a gentle noggie. I look at my watch and realize my boss wants to talk to me in 15 minutes. "Hey, dad. I gotta go. My boss wants a word with me."
"OoOoOoH! You're in trouble!" Seriously, dad could act like a child at times. Serenity and I hugged dad and left. She dropped me off outside my office.
"Bye, see you tomorrow big brother!" "Bye, Serenity! Oh hey! Button up that jacket okay?" She chuckled as she took -off- her jacket and threw it in the back seat. "Good luck, brother!" My eye twitched as she speed off. Mai has corrupted my sister.
XxXx
"JOOOEEYY-KUUNN!"
"Oh lord. Hey Ryou!" I saw a bundle of blue-ish white hair bouncing up and down coming at me. He stopped infront of me and grabbed hold of my hand.
"I heard your sister got married! How is she? I also heard from a dark source that you were out on a date the other night and that now you have a marriage going on! What's up with that? Oh yeah, I guess what? Bakura gave me a promise ring! He said he promised to protect me and that some day we will have the best marriage ever! Isn't that sweet? Oh I also heard from said source that you were saved by this zorro character and that that's the person you went on a date with and that he isn't the same person who's marrying you. So Joey, are you going to answer my question or just stand there and look pretty?"
Silence
"WELL? DON'T KEEP ME IN SUSPENCE!-"
"-ACK! RYOU, CALM DOWN! I BARELY UNDERSTOOD YOU! YOU TALKED TO FAST!"
"Oh, sorry. Should I repeat?"
"No, that's ok. I got a few of the things. Yes, sister is engaged with Mai. I was on a date and it's not my idea to have this marriage. Father set it up for me. I'm glad you and Bakura are holding strong. And who, may I ask, told ya all this?"
"Yami."
"Figures. Listen, I have to go. The boss wants to talk with me."
"Oh yes, something about meeting Duke's mom and dad."
"How do you know these things so fast?"
"The bloody hell should I know? I just find information and keep it." He shrugged and waved me off. "See ya, Joey."
"HEY JOEY! GET IN HERE RIGHT THIS INSTANT!"
I looked up to see my boss in her pissed off mood. I look back to where Ryou was but he wasn't there anymore. Infact, the whole hall way filled with people disappered.
This can't be good.
"ARE YOU GOING TO JUST STAND THERE?" I suddenly felt dragged. Kitwa-san grabbed hold of my neck and dragged me into her office. "I SWEAR! PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PISSING ME OFF ALL DAY TODAY! YOU JUST MADE MY ANGER SNAPPED FOR BEING LATE."
She slammed me on the chair and she took her seat behind the table. "Mr.Wheeler, I'm going to say this once. No questions shall be asked!" I nodded my head vigerously. This chick is pi-issed. "Good. Now, tomorrow you will go horse back riding with Duke's mom and dad, Duke and his fiancee."
"I-Is that a-all?"
"Yes. Thank you for co-operating." I get up to leave but obviously, Kitwa has one more thing to say. "If you mess up this small and simple task, I will be forced to fire you."
"Again, Kitwa-san? You can't fire me, you're not able to. I'm the best!" I would've said. But nope. I'm not going to say it. As I go out, I see my little friend with his boyfriend. Ah, I've been meaning to talk with Yami-san.
"Yami, what the hell are you thinking? Gossiping about me behind my back! I-"
"Hey, Joey-kun. You never told me about how it went at the dance studio." Yugi interrupted. He didn't seem like he wanted a fight to break out with me and Yami. He'd have to chose sides first of all and then we are in a public area were either one of us would get arrested.
"It was perfect. Just per-effing-fect."
"Alright, tell me. How bad -did- it go?" He hinted my sarcasim.
"Well, for one. I had to dance with his fiancee."
"And who was Duke's fiancee?"
"Do you remember that tall brunnette from the other day?"
"Yes. Oh, gosh. He was Duke's fiancee?" I nodded. Yami smirked. "Too bad for you. I bet you and that guy even kissed..."
Another silence
"Oh my god. You didn't." Yugi eyes widened.
"YOU DID!"
"Shush! It was nothing. It meant nothing!"
"Then why is it that I saw you waving at him stupidly after he dropped you off? And your eyes were sorta dazed while screaming at me."
"That reminds me. Yami, you have to pay your half of the rent today AND pay me for the broken things."
"I don't have that much money!"
"JOOOEEEYYY! How'd it go with Kitwa-san?"
"Ryou, you've had to much pocky!"
"NU-UH!" He stuck out his tongue at me.
"So what are you going to do now, Joey? You seemed like you really liked that Kaiba-zorro-san."
I shrugged. Yeah, I liked the guy. Who doesn't? But...I...I don't know, I feel like I've known him before. My heart...I start to sweat and I blush at every touch of his. Maybe...just, a little bit, I lo-
"Awww! Look how he looks thinking about his love!"
-ve him.
"DAMNIT YAMI! YOU GONNA PAY ONE OF THESE DAYS!" I gave him a hard punch behind his head. I promised Yugi never to hit Yami's pretty face, and I kept my promise damnit!
Lady Ai: I know it was an awkward way to end it but...It's 4 in the freaking morning (still I'm not tired) and my parents are gonna get pissed and then I won't be able to go to the mall later!
Yami Ai: .../is fast asleep/
Lady Ai: That's funny, usually he jacks off at this hour if he doesn't get any. /Sigh/ and I was this close to-
Yami Ai: What.
Lady Ai: bake a cake!
Yami Ai: awww!
Lady Ai: Review my friendly reviewers and readers! n.n
