Lady Ai: Hello all! I've brought good news! Yami would you care to tell them?
Yami Ai: Hmph, Lady Ai has just officially come back from Vacation.
Lady Ai: Alot of you are most certainly like, "She was on vacation?" Well yes, yes I was. I was being lazy lately thus the lack of updates. But recently I've been struck by a few plot bunnies. Would all of you care to look at a few previews? They're like movie previews you see on TV and stuff.
Yami Ai: I'd like to see you pull that off.
Lady Ai: Then let's go on to the first one...
I Want You To Want To Hate Me: (This one isn't fully planned out yet but I'll try my best with this preview) "I know your secret Jou-kun." "Y-you do? You won't tell anyone...would you?" "On the contrary, all you have to do is go out with me." Kaiba has Jounouchi around his little finger. Kaiba Mokuba that is.
Yami Ai: OOOO, The suspence is killing me!
Lady Ai: Baka, you know what's going thru my mind, read it from there
Yami Ai: SHUSH! You'll ruin my surprise!
Lady Ai: Oh Ra /sigh/ on with the next preview...
Beauty In The Breakdown: (Also not fully planned but eh. Oh and I bet you won't guess right on which couple is talking here, seriously.) "Let's runaway." "What?-! Are you crazy? They'd kill us!" "Not if we runaway. Come on. I'm sure you want to get out of that hell hole, away from your father. And I want to get away from my house too. I'm dying there. Do this for me, Jou. Please." "...Alright, Ryou. Let's go."
Lady Ai: BWAHAHAHAHAHA! UNCOMMON PAIRS! XD
Yami Ai: Take it easy buddy /sigh/ Oh and I think you have some more good news?
Lady Ai: Yes sir! Does everyone remember Bites That Scar Me and it's sequel Vampire Hearts? Well, I'm gonna start picking up Vampire Hearts. What went wrong is that, I just lost inspiration in that story. But I promised myself I will finish it OR MY NAME ISN'T GENESIS LADY AI PEREZ!
Yami Ai: It isn't -.-;
Lady Ai: Right...well...ON WITH THE STORY!
Yami Ai: Oh by the way...the next chapter is prolly the last and it's coming really freaking soon...might already be posted right after this one. Maybe not, just in about a week WE SWEAR!
Lady Ai: Kthxbye!
Disclaimer: Yami Ai: Gen...what in ra's name are you doing? (Lady Ai: -is singing- I,I,I like little girls they make me feel so good. I I I like little girls they make me feel so bad!) ...ok yeah, so we don't own.

The Wedding Planner
Chapter 8
Let's Talk
xx Last time xx
'I don't want to be like them. GO AWAY!'
"Joey..." he heard his name in a soft gentle voice. Almost heartbreaking.
Joey looked up at where he and Kaiba were just a moment ago, his cheek being cupped by Kaiba's hands. Joey smiled and laughed lightly as he started to cry heavily. Soon he fell asleep, leand against the door with nothing but a mental picture of the man he's in love with but he chose to push away.
xx And now... xx
Joey was just started to wake up with a huge hangover coming on when suddenly the door opened...
He was right on the door...
"Ouch, motherfu-what the hell?-!" Joey yelled, holding his head. Behind him opening the door was Tristain. "Ah, man. I'm sorry Joey!...but why were you on the floor next to the door?" Tristain picked up Joey gingerly and helped him to the couch. Kaiba laying him on the couch carefully flashed thru the blond's mind and he groaned. "Son of a bitch, my head hurts." Tristain raised an eyebrow at him. "Have you been drinking Joey? Why? What happened?"
"I bumped into an old boyfriend."
"I'm jeolous."
"No need. What are you doing here anyway? Did my pops send ya?"
"No, I just had a feeling that you were in trouble of some sort."
"Well, you're a day late." Joey sighed and got up to take a shower. "I have to go to work, you can stay here until I get back. If Yami tries to get in, don't let him."
"Who's Yami again?"
"Oh, he's one with tri-colored hair and pointy eyes. Very dramatic, you can't miss him." With that Joey shut the door and took his shower.
xx At Work xx
"Hey Joey. What's up? I called like about 500 times yesterday but you weren't home I guess. You look tired, what happened? Do you have a hangover? Bakura has a hangover too. He almost killed me for waking him up. What's wrong with you? Do you want some tea? Or maybe coffee-"
"GODDAMNIT RYOU SHUT THE FUCK UP! It's kinda fucking obvious that I have a hangover and yes I'd like some coffee." Joey set some folders down on his desk. "Where's Yugi?"
"Day off. He's out with Yami...hey doesn't Yami have a job of his own?" Joey stopped and thought about that for a while. "No, I guess he doesn't. Spoiled brat. He's surviving with Yugi's money and whatever YOUR boyfriend steals."
"Shut up! He's gonna get arrested one day, I swear." They both laughed. They knew that no one alive or dead can catch the tomb robber. Ryou got Joey's coffee and went off on his way to work. Joey was looking at flower arrangements online when he got a call.
"Hey, Thanks for callin' . Mr.Wheeler speaking. How may I help ya?"
"Hey, Joey. It's Duke." 'Oh god. He knows, doesn't he? That I like his fiancee, that he kissed me that one time. Oh my god oh my god.' Joey paniced. (Obviously). "Y-yeah, hi Duke. What do you need?"
"Well, I heard that there was a problem with the flower arrangements yesterday. Everything ok?"
"Oh, yeah. Everything is going fine. I just ordered the arrangments right now online."
"Oh ok good to hear. Anyway, I wanted to talk about the tuxedo measurements..."
"They're today. Both you and Kaiba."
"Yeah, I'm gonna be busy this afternoon. The only day I'm free is tomorrow...the day before the wedding."
"Um, alright. We can re-arrange that then. What about Kaiba?"
"He already has tons so don't worry about him. Well, see you tomorrow Joey."
"Bye-bye." 'That was awkward.' Joey finished a few more paper work. After that he was suppose to take Duke's measurements but since that was canceled. "YES! I'm off early!" Joey got up and ran out the building.
He was off to Starbuck's when he bumped into Yami and Yugi. "Hey guys what's up?" He saw a pout on Yami and grinned. Yugi patted Yami's back. "Joey, is there someone guarding your door back home?" Yugi asked. Joey chuckled. "Yeah, Tris. I told him that if Yami tries to get in, to beat the crap outta him or somethin'. Sorry Yam-yam, I just don't you to break more of my stuff. You guys want coffee? On me!" Yugi perked up at coffee. "I've been wanting some lately, sure."
After a full day of hanging out with the two look alikes, Joey grew tired of their constant making out behind his back. So he said his bye-byes and went home. 'Great, I forgot that Tristain is waiting for me back home. Better hurry, poor guy must be hungry.'
When Joey got home though he saw that Tristain was wondering the kitchen cooking something. "Hey Trist. What are you up too?" Tristain looked by the door way and perked up. He ran toward Joey and gave him a MIGHTY HUG! (A/n: I just had to XD ). Joey fell to the ground with Tristain on top. "I've been waiting for you all day! I've missed you! How was work? Was everything ok?"
Joey sat up, Tristain on his lap. "Missed ya too. Work-aggravating as always. And other than my ass hurting like hell right now, everything is cool."
"Your ass hurts? HAVE YOU-"
"Shut up, I know what your gonna say. And no I haven't...you just landed on me and I fell back. So now it hurts." Joey sighed out of frustration, Tristain sighed out of relief. "You're still a virgin, right Joey?" Joey blushed but nodded anyway. "Oh good, cuz I wanna be the first. BUT! After we're married of course!" Tristain got up and went to the kitchen, Joey followed behind. "I'm making some Macorroni and Cheese for dinner. Sorry, it's the only thing I know how to make." Joey chuckled. Tristain smiled to himself, 'Yay! I made him laugh!'
"Dinner's done!" Tristain set the plates on the table and poured the food onto two plates. "Here ya go." Tristain smiled. "Thanks Trist." A few moments into dinner Tristain started talking.
"So, Yami came over today."
"Oh yeah. Heh, I bumped into him and his boyfriend earlier today. What did you do to him?"
"I said if he touched the doorbell one more time, he'll lose all of his hair gel." Joey broke out laughing. "Oh my god. How do you know he loves he's hair gel?"
"Oh come on! People with that type of hair use hair gel and love it to death. Believe me I've encountered weirder hair than that kid." Joey's giggle fit subsided and he began to eat again. It was peaceful until Tristain started to talk about their wedding.
"W-wait. We're getting married?" Joey almost choked. Tristain looked up in surprise and patted Joey's back. "Don't tell me you forgot about it."
"I didn't. But I told dad that...you...I...fuck."
"What's wrong?"
"I-I'm sorry...I ca-can't-"
"It's that tall brunet guy isn't it." It was more of a statement than a question. Joey, surprised, turned his head to Tristain. "How do you know that?"
"Remember when we were horse back riding with him and his finacee? Well, everytime I turned to look at you, you were gazing at him as if he were a work of art. You think I'm not gonna notice?" Tristain took his seat at the other end of the table. He took one more bite out of the dinner and turned back to Joey. "Tell me please. How exactly do you feel about him?" Joey had a worried look on his face but then sighed and looked down at his lap.
"Well...I've always had a crush on the famous Kaiba Seto, he had the looks and hey what person in their right mind wouldn't want him? So, I wouldn't see it was love at first sight. It was more...love at first conversation. He had saved me and taken me on a date the same day. We danced twice. He kissed me once. And god, that kiss was the best kiss I've ever had. My whole body heated up and all I thought about was how it would be like if we stayed like that forever. But then afterwards I find out he has a fiancee, as you know. It went sorta downhill from there. We didn't get along very well and I also hated the fact that I could never forget about him. Never could get him off my mind. His smile, his eyes, his scent, his speech. Every little thing he does, I could never forget. And then...last night..."
"Last night? I thought you said you were a virgin."
"I-I am! What happened last night was, after I bumped into my ex I got loaded and he helped me home. He cared for me. He said...he um said 'I love you'. I admit, my heart skipped like 4 beats but then I thought about my ex. My ex had cheated on me the night of the reharsal wedding with the best man. And I don't want Kaiba's fiancee to end up like me. I don't want anyone to end up hurt like I have. But I did, didn't I? I hurt you...I'm sorry."
"No, I understand. I understand entirely. You long for him just as I long for you-"
"Oh, Tristain, I'm really sor-"
"Hold on." Tristain held up his hand. "Let me finish. You love him, and you love him so much. You are a nice person to give up a love interest like that. Just know that I'm here for you when you need me. You can tell me anything. And you don't have to marry me if you don't want to. Now help me clean the dishes." Joey smiled and hugged Tristain.
Then they heard a huge bang on the door...and only one person can do that.
"OPEN UP THE FUCKING DOOR WHEELER!"
"Bakura, don't be rude!"
"Eh, whatever."
Joey opened the door just when Bakura was about to knock again. Good thing he was out of harms way but Bakura...he sorta surprised that he hit air instead of door. Ryou chuckled.
"Hey guys. What do you need?"
"Hikari wanted to personally hand out invites to our wedding."
"WHAT?-! And I didn't plan it?-! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!"
"Gah! I'm sorry! But uh, hello! I'm a wedding planner too!" Ryou pouted. Joey sweatdropped. "Opps, I forgot, hehehehehe...heh? Whatever just give me the invite and be on you merry way already."
"And you say I'm rude hikari? Here you go Joesph-"
"You know it annoys me to no end to call me that." Joey took the invites and sent Ryou and Bakura out. Soon Yami and Yugi walked thru the door. Joey sighed and mumbled to himself, "Jeez, what? Does it look like my home has a neon sign on the front saying 'PLEASE COME IN' or something?" Yami was staring at Joey. "WHAT?-!"
"Someone is outside waiting for you." Yami said i a dull voice. Joey's eyes widened and he ran out like a bat outta hell only to see...Duke...crying. "Oh my god."
Lady Ai: Well there ya go!
