Chapter Eight

Today Yami and Yugi are taking Joey to get the things he will need to get the Birthday Party ready for his daughter. As they walked into the Mall they found a place especially for Parties of every kind.

Joey found what he needed, they had everything related to Winnie the Pooh and as he and Yugi counted how many people would be there they counted fifteen people so he bought enough plates, cups and plastic utensils for everyone.

Then they went to the bakery and Joey told the owner that his daughter was having her a Birthday Party and she was turning four and she showed hi several sheet cakes and he chose the largest one and asked if the cake could put the character from Winnie the Pooh on the cake and have it say "Happy Birthday, Cassandra."

After they did that, they drove Joey home and Yugi gave him the names and addresses of everyone that he wanted to invite and then Yugi said "this is going to be on really special Party for your daughter."

That evening after dinner, Joey went to talk to Seto and as Roland let him in and told him that Seto was in the kitchen, Joey walked in and Seto was looking under the sink and when Joey said his name he slammed his head on the overhang and Seto let out a very loud "Shit, Damn and Hell!!!!"

Joey tried not to laugh but couldn't hold it in and started laughing and then Seto turned and there stood Joey. "What's wrong?" Joey asked.

Seto sat there on the floor and he said "why nothing, I just like sitting on the floor with my head under the damn sink looking for the reason there is a puddle on the floor."

Joey started laughing all the harder and then he said "get up and let me see what the problem is."

He helped Seto stand up and got down and he asked "for a flashlight" and when Seto handed him one and Joey discovered what was wrong right away. Joey told Seto "the sink trap has a small crack in it and has to be replaced."

Seto groaned and then he said "great now I have to pay another damn plumber money for him to sit on his ass and talk about all the crap he has done and seen and then give me the damn bill."

Joey started laughing and he banged his head the same place that Seto did and they both started laughing till Seto sat on the floor and they were laughing so hard that they had tears running down their faces and then all of a sudden they discovered that they were closer then they had been in a long time and Seto reached out and kissed Joey on the mouth and Joey moaned and responded but kissing him back.

When Seto lifted his head and they took a breath and Joey said "we better slow down, we still have some issues that we need to get resolved."

Seto stood up and helped Joey get up and they sat down at the table and Seto got them some lemonade to drink and then he said "you go first."

Joey took a deep breath and he said "alright I guess I should start by telling you the reason I left when I did. I had just discovered that the woman who I thought was my mother wasn't my birth mother. Then after arguing with my dad, he found the letter you wrote and started calling me nasty names and one thing lead to another and I hit him in the face and packed my things and left.

I ended up in America and lived with my mom's older sister who knew all about everything and she gave me a place to live and some really good advice. Get your shit together or I'll kick your ass. Seto chuckled and said "she sounds like a really great lady." Joey said "she sure is."

Then I met a young woman her name was Michelle and well we got to know each other and I fell in love with her, we got married and she gave birth to my daughter that you saw at the park.

Michelle was killed by a drunk driver and my life spiraled downward and if it hadn't been for my Aunt Theresa and of course my baby girl I probably would of killed myself.

Then I decided to come home and try to work things out between me and my dad and let my daughter get to know her grandfather and well you know the rest."

Seto then said "is there anyway we can become friends and maybe we could get back to where we were going when you left?"

Joey then said "I'd really like that, but now I have a daughter and Cassandra will have to be old enough to understand our feeling for each other before we go to far. I won't let her be hurt because we want to have sex. So if this isn't alright with you, then I will walk away and we will never see or talk to each other ever again."

Seto took Joey's hand in his and he said "then so be it, we will wait because I really want us to be together and if we have to wait till your daughter will understand the we will. All I want is to have you as my friend and we can spend time talking and getting to know each other again."

Joey squeezed his hand and said "I'm having a Birthday Party for Cassandra this week-end at the Park and I wondered if you and Mokuba would like to come help her celebrate her fourth birthday?"

Seto smiled and he said "yes we would and then he got up and walked over to Joey and as Joey stood they shook hands and then Joey said "get the part and I'll fix the sink for you and I won't over charge you." Seto laughed and said "you've got a deal."

Seto walked Joey to the front door and then he asked "what does your daughter like, so that Mokie and I can get her presents?" Joey laughed and said "she likes stuffed toys, dolls, or maybe a game that is for children her age."

Then as Mokuba and Roland walked into the room just as Seto was telling Joey "good-bye" and then Seto kissed Joey and he left and Seto closed the door. When he turner around to go back to the kitchen to put things away, there they both stood with stupid looks on their faces and he just ignored them and walked to the kitchen.
