Cold Feet

Duke puts his elbow upon the black limousine, leans against his fist, and groans, "WHERE is she?"

Tristian leaned over his left shoulder, to look out of the limo window, "Did Mai call you at all, Yugi?"

"No. When did you guys get here?"

Miho Nosaka bursts out of the car, "I can't hold it any longer!" She runs off into the Kame Game store, wearing a lime green dress. Joey was too busy checking out his hair in the mirror, to close the limo door. The powder blue suit he was wearing seems to have been made for a taller man.

Tristian looked at his watch, "Almost 40 minutes."

Serenity leaned foward, looking up at Yugi, "Her car wasn't here, when we got here, so we figured that we shouldn't go announce ourselves until you got a chance to see her. Bakura's been calling her, but she hasn't been answering her phone."

"I hope she's all right," Bakura said softly.

Joey laughes, as he franticly combs his fingers through his hair, "She probably doesn't know who you are." Joey continues laughing.

Duke looks a little depressed and blinks, "Well, she not knowing who he is, is way better then knowing you in that get up."

Joey holds up his fist, which was covered by his sleeve, "YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME-!" Tristian tries to keep Joey in the car by pushing against his shoulders.

Serenity held her brother's arm, "Joey!"

"I don't get you, Joey," Duke said. "Don't you know that you're not only keeping Téa waiting, but also MY DATE waiting?! Oh! And, when we get there, you all owe her an apology for holding a table at the restaurant for us." He closes his eyes, as he brought his index finger and thumb to the bridge of his nose and he lets out a breath. "Joey, we are WASTING our lives for a woman who wants nothing to do with us. Time and time again, she leaves us high and dry. Even, as much as she tolerates Joseph here, she won't go anywhere alone with him. If she's not self-centered, then she's definitely self-absorbed!"

Yugi waved his hands towards Duke, "Duke, I'm sure there's a reason why she isn't here, yet."

"The REASON, why THIS is happening, is because it was EASIER for Mai to disappoint Joey to his face, instead of you!"

Joey looked glum, "Duke, I don't think Mai would-," he looked hurt as he looked at Yugi, "Mai's not like that. Right, Yuge?"

"... ," before Yugi could say anything, Miho walks outside, "Thank you, for letting me use your bathroom, Yugi. I didn't mean to be so rude." She turns to Duke, "Oh, yeah. If we don't leave now, then we should cancel the reservation. Téa just texted me that she can't finish putting on her dress without me." Duke shoots a dagger glance at Joey.

Tristian sighes at Joey, "Téa will kill us if we lose the reservation, you know."

Joey gives Yugi an unsure smirk, "Well, ...you know where to meet us. I'll see you two, soon."
