~Joey~

After Yugi had left, Joey looked around his small apartment complex. John was still passed out, but now laying comfortably on the living room couch. The puppy snuggled under her arm. It wasn't like other times when he had attempted to bring other girls over. She didn't feel out of place, she didn't even stand out. She felt as if she had always been there, as if she had filled a hole that had been empty for so long.

"What am I gonna do now?" Joey asked as he stared at John

She was still in her wet clothes and shivers would rake her body occasionally. He knew from experience that even if you wrap yourself up, if you're still in wet clothes then you will definitely catch a cold. He didn't want her become sick; in fact he didn't want anything to happen to her. He also didn't want to take her clothes off. It didn't mater to him how much he felt at ease around her. Taking her clothes off, even to help her felt wrong. He had to get her to undress herself.

"John! John!" Joey called. When she didn't stir, he walked over and leaned over the couch to shake her shoulder. "John, ya have ta wake up." Her head rolled to the side but still no response.

"John!" Joey whined in frustration. "I can't help ya warm up if ya can't change into warm clothes."

An idea struck him, and idea that would wake her up, just not pleasantly. Walking to the other side of the couch, Joey lifted John into his arms. She was surprisingly heavy for a girl, but then again he had never picked up another girl other than his sister. With John in his arms he walked into the bathroom. Struggling to pull the shower curtain back, Joey laid John in the tub. He pulled the curtain back and ran into his room. Quickly he scavenged his draws for a long shirt and sweat pants. Once he found them he threw them in the sink for easy access. Carefully He turned the shower on to luke-warm. The moment water hit her face Joey dashed out of the bathroom and closed the door.

He listened from the door way as she gasped and sat up screaming. He held onto the knob tightly. He wanted to burst in and ask 'what's wrong', but he was sure if he did she's attack him. He hear her stand up and reajust the water . Letting out a sight Joey, let go of the door knob and walked into the small kitchen. Opening the fridge, he shut it. Nothing. Opening the cabinets he frowned. Still nothing. How could he offer he something warm, if there was nothing to offer? Come to think about it, what did he normally eat? A bag of popcorn lay on the edge of the counter. It might not be a lot but it was something. Ripping the package out of it's container he popped it into the microwave and hit start.

"What do I do tomorrow? It's Monday, which means school. I can't take her with me." Joey pondered as he leaned against the counter. The shower stopped running as John turned off the water. He heard the shower curtain slide back as the microwave dinged. He had expected her to take a longer shower. She was just like him, shorter showers were better. Joey took out he hot bag as John walked out of the bathroom. Steam rolled out from behind her. She had a towel wrapped around her hair. His Red shirt hung slightly loose on her frame. She grinned ruthfully at him.

"I feel like ripping your throat out, but I know you where trying to help. So thanks." John said as she bowed. "I do have a question? Do you know where I'm from?"

"Kaiba said you where from an Alternate Reality." Joey said as he opened the popcorn bag, offering some to her.

She grinned at him and reached in for a large handful. Walking over to the couch she plopped down. "That does make since. Then I'm guessing that because we look the same and well.., if you think about it our name are kinda the same. We must be each other."

"Ya mean. We're the same person?" Joey asked as he jumped up to sit on the counter, almost losing balance.

"Well and alternate reality is the same as a parallel universe which is a self-contained separate reality is coexisting with one's own. Or two worlds existing at the same time, with the same people in both." John said as she munched on her popcorn.

Joey sat in silence as he stared at her. How was she not freaking out at this information. He was. How could she be him? First she was a girl and second they didn't act the same?

"Just because I'm a girl and I don't act like you doesn't mean I'm not." John answered. "And for the record I've been through too much today that this hasn't even registered in my brain yet. I'll most likely freak tomorrow."

Did she just read my mind?

"I believe I did" John answered. "It really isn't as if I'm trying, it just happens. You try!'

I wish I didn't have a fight with Sol!

"Who is Sol?" Joey asked, he had seen his picture and John had mentioned him once before, but who he was and his relationship with John was a mystery.

"Sol, is my best…was… I'm still going to consider him my best friend. He, Yaron and I hang out almost every day. I'm three years younger then the two of them." John said as she looked down at the golden puppy lying on the floor. He had slept through everything.

"Who's your boyfriend?' Joey asked. If she was friends with Sol, then who was she dating? Did that mean he'd like them also? If so then would Kaiba and him become friends since their alternate versions where?

"Currently as of today, I'm single. I just broke it off with Zane." John replied.

"What's Zane like?" Joey asked.

"He has the most beautiful black hair, its silky soft and glistens in the sun. He has light green eyes that look like jade, and perfect tanned skin. He prefers to wear tight clothing that shows off his well sculpted body. He's also a great kisser." John replied. Sitting up she peered over the couch to watch Joey's reaction to her last comment. She was rewarded with him gagging on his popcorn.

"I think I know who you're talking about. His name is Duke here." Joey replied as his face flushed red.

Joey watched John give him a lopsided grin. "I have to know are you interested in anyone? Because if you are then maybe I could find someone."

"No." Joey said in all honesty.

"Are you even looking?" John asked.

"No." Joey replied as he finished off the popcorn.

Letting out a long sigh John fell back down on the couch. "Let me know when you do……What's Kaiba like…here?"

"That bastard has it out for Yug', and only because he beat him in a duel. Moneybags is contently callin' me a mutt and such dog names. I can't stand that fucking asshole." Joey swore as he grabbed the counter with his hands, no bothering to let go when his knuckles turned white.

"Besides calling you names, and I'm assuming flaunting his money, does he do anything else to anger you?"

Joey was silent for a second he'd never thought of that. Kaiba had always just called him names and flaunted his wealth, but besides having a huge ego, he really didn't do anything else. "No." He replied hesitantly.

"I can explain both to you then." John said as she unwrapped the towel from her head to let her blond hair fall down. "He has a huge ego because he's a successful CEO. Anyone would act that was. He flaunts his money because, he can. It's a way for showing his worth……He must be really self-conscious…..anyway as for the dog names. I'm sure you put yourself up to them. Or they could be a way of getting your attention. At least that's what Sol told me."

"Your best friend made fun of you?" Joey asked skeptic.

"Believe it or not, yeah he did. When we first met he was a real dick to me. I was constantly called buttercup, and honey suckle. I hated those names, not that I even knew what they meant. I literally went home every day for about two months and cried. Until one day I approached him, I didn't fight back, I didn't even blink. I told him that until he called me by my name I'd ignore him. Three days later we where best friends and John became the name everyone calls me now. Only sometimes does he still call me by those names."

"And that means?' Joey asked, confused why that would explain Kaiba's actions.

"Well, if Sol made fun of me to get my attention, and Kaiba is Sol, so to speak, then that means he must want your attention. Or at least he subconsciously wants your attention."

"Why would Kaiba want my attention?" Joey asked baffled.

"How would I know? I'm in your head not his." John replied.

"What happened with Sol and you?' Joey asked.

"I really don't want to talk about it." John replied as her face fell.

Joey felt as if a dark cloud had covered the sun. Her face seemed barren as her mind swirled with dark thoughts. He could see himself sitting in the rain. He knew it was John who had been in the rain but it felt like it was his memory not hers. The words "I'm leaving" "Let go of me. You whore", circled John's mind as she fought for control. Joey walked over to the couch and sat next tot her. Her face unresponsive. The thoughts became sinister as a male's voice replaced Sol's yelling. Joey recognized that voice and flinched inwardly. He put a hand to her shoulder and thought of his favorite things. The sun emerged from behind the clouds as John's eyes blinked into focus. Joey stood up and looked down at her. He wouldn't have pegged her for being a carrier of burdens.

"You can sleep here tonight." Joey announced as he dimmed the living room lights.

'I think you should sleep in here." John said.

Joey let out a snort. 'No you can sleep here."

"I should get the bed, since I'm a girl."

"You'll get the couch since you're in my world." Joey replied.

"What if I get cold?" John asked.

Joey looked over his shoulder from the door way for his room. This wasn't about the couch or being cold. He knew she didn't want to be alone. She didn't even like to be alone. Part of him almost called out to her, but he pushed that down. If she was him then she wouldn't want his sympathy. "There are blankets in the hall closet. The narrow door next to the bathroom." Joey replied as he shut the door to his room.

You're mean to me…or is it you?

Chucking Joey striped off his shirt and climbed into bed. He wasn't going to share a room with a girl, even if it was him, in a way. John was tough he knew that, she'd survive one night by herself.

I hate this couch it's lumpy!

"Goodnight, John!" Joey yelled.

I hope you choke in your sleep!

XD____________

"Sol? Sol! Sol, Sol, SOL." John moaned in her sleep.

Joey rolled over in his bed and stared at the girl who was clutching his shirt. Her blond hair plastered to her face and her eyebrows scrunched together in a frown. Joey looked down at his look-a-like and frowned. It still bothered him that she looked the exact same as him and it disturbed him that she was crushing on a guy who liked like Kaiba. The picture of two of them on the beach, John riding on Sol's back, popped into Joey's head. The image was replaced with Joey on Kaiba's back as he ran along the shore line splashing Joey with water. His eyes widened in horror as he shook his head violently.

"Damn why'd I think of moneybags.' Joey whispered.

"Mom?" John asked sleepily as she leg go of Joey's shirt and rolled over. Her left arm hanging over the bed.

"John, ya can't sleep with' me." Joey said as he nudged her shoulder. He thought he had told her to sleep in the living room. When had she snuck in his room?

"It's cold on the couch." She replied .

"No it aint." Joey said defiantly. He had slept on the couch many times and it was the same as sleeping in his room. "Ya left the puppy out there, go sleep with him."

"No I didn't, he's at the foot of the bed." John said as she hugged a pillow close to her body.

Looking down towards his feet Joey saw as small ball of fur huddled at the end of the bed. Letting out a sigh He flopped back down. It was no use arguing with her. They both knew he wasn't going to force her to leave. This was going to be a long night.
