Got another chapter going. This time were with Yugi and the gang.
Autobot00001: I don't Know if I'll do any Tristan/Serenity stuff, but he will have something to do with her. I could possible do them as a pair, but for what I have planned now, probably not, but you never know.
It had been a day since their duel and the first day of the journey to see Professor Hawkins was coming to a close. A hotel would provide the gang some housing for the night as Duke had the funds to help. They still had a long way to go, but they could all agree that it wouldn't do them any good if they were exhausted, especially since Duke would be the only one driving. The suite provided two well sized rooms along with the living and dining area.
Tea made sure to claim a room for herself, while the guys were left to create a sleeping arrangement in the other. It would be decided that Joey and Tristan would take the pullout couch, something that both were used to sleeping on. Duke claimed the queen size bed, not taking no for an answer, even allowing Yugi to take the other side, not wanting to condemn him to the floor.
Not wanting to house Rex or Weevil, the group of teens banished them to the couch in the living area. They didn't really care if they were still there in the morning, since they were stowaways, but figured offering them something over the floor was the least they could do.
Everyone was a sleep, except for Joey. The shock of Mai's betrayal was still fresh in his mind. Not being able to lay there restlessly, he sat up, propping his legs over the side of the bed. He rubbed his eyes, shaking off his nonexistent slumber. What am I going to do? Joey wondered. Why didn't she tell us she was unhappy? Didn't she know we would help her?
"You okay?" A voice whispered.
Joey peered over his shoulder to see Tristan awake, sitting up with his back against the back of the couch. He didn't give his friend much of a response.
"Worried about Mai?" Tristan stated.
"Yeah." Joey admitted. "I just don't get it. I know she's always wanted power, but the fact she made this choice really bothers me. She got along with us, and I thought we were friends. She's even has a friendship with my sister, and is a role model for her."
"Well, Mai's always been trouble. It always seemed like she wasn't sure what she wanted or how she wanted to get there, at least from what I've seen." Tristan let out a yawn. "Speaking of Serenity, why don't you give her a call?"
Joey gave Tristan a confused look, wondering why Tristan would say that.
"You haven't talked to her since we landed. She might like to hear from you. Plus she always had a way of making you smile, no matter how much of a depression you're in."
"That's true."
Joey stood up, grabbing his phone from underneath his pillow.
"I'll be back. Get some sleep, will ya?" Joey declared heading towards the bathroom.
"Look who's talking." Tristan replied.
Tristan got back into a comfortable position, letting himself asleep as Joey shut the bathroom door behind him.
Joey turned the light once he heard the door click. He flipped his phone open, but before he could dial Serenity's number he noticed that he had received a text message from an unknown number. This shocked Joey, since he didn't hear it or see it light up beneath the pillow, but remembered that he didn't hear it because he had it on silent for the night. He figured he'd read the message, even though he didn't know the number. He figured it was either someone who had the wrong number or maybe some company was trying to send him a promotional for a product.
Clicking open, Joey wasn't that bothered. His eyes widened as he read the actual message.
Roses are red
Violets are blue,
Your sister will suffer,
And it's all because of you.
Yeah, I know the little poem might be a bit cheesy, but it works for what I was thinking. I also figured that it would take a while for them to get to Professor Hawkins' hence the hotel and Tea gets her own room since she's the only girl.
