The gang and Valon arrived at precisely 8:00pm. They spotted Mai sitting at a table. "Hey guys!"
"Hey Mai!" Yugi said."Where's your sister?" Valon asked not looking at her directly.
"Oh, she 's getting her makeup done so she can perform." Mai replied, also not looking into Valon's eyes.(There was just some sort of awkwardness between them.)
"Is there any resemblance between you two?" he asked.
Mai replied, "No, not really. We both love fashion, shopping, and boys. That's basically where the similarities end. She is a churchgoer."
Valon's ears suddenly perked up. "Catholic or Christian?"
"Christian…I think. What's it to you?" she asked questionably, this time looking him straight into the eyes.
Valon's eyes narrowed. "Oh, nothing. I just used to be Catholic."
Joey laughs. "You? Catholic?" he laughed harder.
"Yes, me Catholic!" Valon snapped back angrily, his eyes flashing.
Joey backed up. "Whoa, take it easy. Um…you just don't seem like the Catholic type, if you get my drift."
"Yeah well, things changed."
"I think there is more to Valon than meets the eye," Yugi said to Yami ."Do you want to talk about it? Yugi asked.
"No, it isn't important," Valon responded quickly.
"Look!" Mai interrupted. "There's Lily up onstage!"
Duke looked up. "Is that her name?"
"Obviously," Tristan said sarcastically.
Duke glared at him. "Don't start."
Lily picked up a microphone onstage and began to speak. "Hey everyone! My name is Lily and I'll be performing a song called "Typical".
"I'm
not just
An ordinary me
I've got my own
Individuality
Not
the same
So why should I pretend
To only blend into the
crowd
Because
I don't wanna be just typical
Only wanna
be original...and say
Never wanna be just typical
Cause you
write the world you live in
And I'm gonna do it my own way"
Wow! She's pretty cute! Valon thought. She looks nothing like Mai. Her hair is a pretty brown color, not like Mai's blond. She also wears glasses and doesn't dress as revealing as Mai. She seems very modest, but cute…
"My
style is
Anything I like
I am myself
And I never
compromise
Can't be her
But I can be the only girl
In
all the world that's me
Because…"
"Wow, Mai! She is great at singing! You two look nothing alike." Joey sounded amazed."
"That's because we're stepsisters."
"Duh, smart one," Tristan added.
"Shaddup, Tristan!" Joey shot back.
"…Never
wanna be just typical
Cause you write the world you live in
And
I'm gonna do it my own way
I could never be somebody
Else
I know I never will
We're beautiful the way we are
And
that's...never just...typical!
After the next chorus the song ended. After the applause, Lily hopped off the stage to go give Mai a hug. "Oh my gosh, Mai!" I've missed you so much!"
"I've missed you too! Oh, Lily," Mai said gesturing to Yugi, and so on. This is Yugi…"
Lily smiled with great interest. " Oh wow," she gushed. " Mr. King of Games himself."
Yugi blushed and shook her hand. "It's nice to meet you."
"'Pleasure's all mine."
Joey thought aloud. "Wow, there's another difference. She's got manners!"
Lily laughed. "You must be Joey, right?(He smiled proudly.) The one who brought Mai to her senses."
Mai laughed nervously. " It wasn't all Joey.."
"Mai, you know I rescued you from those creeps. No offense Valon." Joey added.
Mai sighed. "Whatever, Joseph." She walked off to go get something to drink.
Lily met Tea, Tristan, and Duke, but stopped when she got to Valon. A flicker of interest washed down her face. She looked him up and down.
Valon thought, is she checking me out? Wow, she is!
Lily broke into his thoughts. "Aren't you part of Dartz's gang?" she asked.
"I used to be."
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I just start blurting out questions and totally forget manners!"
Lily held her hand to Valon. Surprisingly, he took it and kisses it! Lily took back her hand and blushed furiously. Valon gave her a flashy smile.
Lily, on the other hand, had thoughts racing through her mind. Oh my gosh! Valon is soooooooo hot. The only time I've seen him was in the News about Dartz. I was like " wow, he is super-cute!" I even have a notebook that says, "I love Valon" all over it!
It was Mai's turn to break into someone's thoughts. " Lily, we need to get home. "Lily was still looking at Valon. "Okay," she replied.
