A/N: Hey! Sorry about the wait. I need breaks, too. After thinking and thinking for the past three days of what I'm going to write, I think I've finally got something I can use. I thank Aqua girl 007 for all of her help... again.
Disclaimer: You already know where to look for the disclaimer. PS I don't own the A Team.
It's the next morning. I just woke up and got out of bed. Christina is nagging at me for sleeping in too late again. IT'S MY LIFE I DO WHAT I WANT.
"You slept until 8:30, again!"
"And your point being?" She sighed.
"It's too late." Blah blah whatever. Just shut up please. The phone started to ring.
"The phone is ringing, Christina."
"Then answer it." She can sure be a pain. I picked up the phone.
"Heyo." I greeted. Christina shot me a glare for my improper greeting.
"Hey, Za, have you heard from Joey?" It was Yugi.
"No, why? Did something happen? Isn't he at the hospital?"
"That's the problem. His mom called me and said he never showed up."
"Well, we gotta find him then! He wouldn't miss Serenity's operation for the world!" What could've possibly happened to Joey? He is one of the toughest guys I know! He can handle himself in any situation.
"I was about to say the same thing. Hey, come meet up at the game shop, we'll start looking for him. If you can, and if she wants to, bring your sister; we need all the help we can get." Christina shot me a look and shook her head no. "You better not" she mouthed.
"Alright! She'll come whether she wants to or not. I'll also see if I can get Ryou to help." Christina came over and hit my arm. "I said no!" she mouthed again.
"Alright! Wait, how are you gonna get a hold of him?"
"By telegraph. What do you think?" Yugi laughed.
"Alright then. Thanks for saving me the extra phone call to him!" I laughed.
"No problem." I hung up the phone.
"Why did you say i'd help? You know I don't like them, so why-"
"Because they're my friends and you can at least pretend to give two shits." She sighed.
"Fine. By the way, who's Ryou?"
"Another one of our friends." She shook her head.
"I should have guessed."
A little while later...
"Okay guys. So, Joey's not at the hospital, so we need to find out where he is. He isn't answering his phone, so that's another issue. I was thinking that we'll split up into teams, but I think that'd be a little, uh, difficult." I smirked. He's talking about my sister, and I find it hilarious.
"What are the teams gonna be, if we have them?" I asked.
"Well, I'd go with Tea-"
"Sorry I'm late guys!" Tristan came running from around the block. I felt my sister glaring at me, probably trying to make my head explode or something.
"Oh hi Tristan." I said, so casually.
"Alright, I guess we should do teams," Yugi said hastily. "I'll take Tea, and I'll take Christina." OH GOD. OH GOD YUGI IS TAKING MY SISTER. I WILL NOT BE STUCK WITH HER HALLELUJAH.
"Cool beans," I started. My sister is probably livid right now, but I guess she should have known that Tristan was gonna be here. "So I get dibs on Tristan and Ryou." Sweet.
"Alright!" Tristan said.
"Before we go, can we have team names?" I asked.
"Why do we need team names?" Yugi asked.
"... Because I kinda wanna be called the A Team." Yugi sighed, tried not to laugh, and then laughed a lot. Everyone else laughed too, even my sister.
"Okay. Za's team is called the A Team. Happy now?"
"Yes. Very much so."
"Good. Alright, so we'll get searching." So we went searching.
"Guys, we could actually go get my motorcycle." Tristan said.
"As long as you don't kill us." I said. Ryou and Tristan laughed. Why does everyone think I'm joking? I'm not joking.
"Don't worry. Your sister would kill me if I did anyways."
"Not to be in your business, but it seems to me that your sister does not seem to be fond of any of us."
"She's not."
"May I ask why?" Tristan opened his mouth to respond, but I responded first.
"She just had a disagreement with them." Tristan looked relieved that we didn't have to spill everything.
"Oh. She just doesn't want to let the problem go?"
"No she does not."
"That's kind of silly."
"Yes it is. Too bad I can't get that through her head." We all laughed a little and went on searching.
"Keep an eye out for Joey, guys." Tristan said. I looked by the right since, uh, my left eye is gone. I saw Joey sitting out by the ocean.
"Tristan! There he is! To the right over there by the ocean." Tristan turned and went over there.
"Joey! What are you doing out here? You're supposed to be with Serenity!" Joey ignored him.
"I'm sorry Serenity..." Joey kept mumbling.
"Tristan, what do we do?" I asked.
"We'll get him somehow."
"Joey! Your sister is waiting for you at the hospital to have her operation!" Joey still did not respond.
"Joey, your sister needs you!" I said.
"I can't comfort her now." Joey said.
"You're right. That's cause you're not at the hospital!" I yelled. What happened to Joey? He's all beaten up and he's self-loathing. Joey looked up at me.
"I can't do anything for her right now."
"That's because you're not at the hospital, genius!" I yelled.
"They're right Joey! Your sister won't go through the operation without you. You want your sister to go through with it, don't you?" Ryou asked.
"Of course I do, but-"
"But nothing!" Tristan said. "Your sister needs you! Now snap out of it and come to your senses."
"I can't do anything, Tristan!"
"What are we supposed to tell Serenity then?" Tristan asked.
"We're not telling Serenity anything! Joey you're going to the hospital and that's that." I yelled. Okay. We gave him a chance. I'm fed up with this.
"I already told you I-" *SLAP* I slapped Joey in the face. Tristan, Ryou, and Joey all looked shocked.
"You're going to the hospital, Wheeler." I said.
"You're right." Joey said.
"OF COURSE WE ARE!" I yelled. Everyone laughed.
"You take Joey to the hospital and Ryou and I will go find Yugi and the others to tell them that we found Waldo."
"Thanks for, uh, slapping me back into shape."
"No prob." Joey and Tristan left to the hospital and Ryou and I started heading back to the center of the city.
At the hospital...
"Serenity! Please unlock the door!" Joey's mother yelled through the door of Serenity's hospital room.
"No! I'm not coming out until Joey gets here!"
"But sweetie-"
"I can't. Not without Joey!" Joey came running down the hallway with Tristan.
"Joey! Thank goodness you're here! I was so worried! It's good to see you! Your sister locked herself in the room and she won't come out. Will you talk to her?"
"It's nice to see you too, mom. Serenity? It's Joey. I'm sorry for letting you down. There were these guys and the took my Red Eyes. I'm so sorry." The door unlocked.
"Joey!" Serenity came out and hugged Joey. "Joey thank you so much for coming!"
"You can do it, sis."
A/N: Wooo what a long chapter. Well, I hope it was worth the three day wait. Until next time, rate or don't.
