Darkhope: Hey! I came up with a new idea! (smile) Ya know to be honest, I lost interest in fanfiction...but now my interest came back to me! And since does not allow script-form anymore...It will take me awhile to update some of my other fics...sorry. I'm really sorry, but I had to start another fic! I had to get off the other ones for a little while. Anyway, please note that this fic takes place a couple of years AFTER Doom. The Doom arc. is the saga after Battle City, if you didn't know that. Actually, this pretty much takes place right before the Pharaoh's memory saga. So Yami is still here! Also, this fic is Joey/Mai. I most likely will have more pairings(probably Yugi or Yami/Tea), but it IS Joey/Mai. This is pretty much what happens after that little "incident" with Varon. (If you don't know what happened between Joey and Mai in the Doom arc. saga, then I suggest you look it up. And all that stuff about Varon as well.) Anyway, on with the fic!
And also note that this is:
' 'Yami talking to Yugi' '
'Yugi talking to Yami'
Plot: A Battle City Reunion! Kaiba holds a special reunion for all of the participants who were in his Battle City Tournament. Everyone is invited! Friends and Foes meeting together again? Joey and Mai meet again after the little "incident" with Varon. What is expected of them? And an unexpected guest comes to join the party, but he is not what he seems. That person is looking for one thing... Revenge. Will this party be crashed?
---------------------------------------
Chapter 1: A Special Invite
It has been several years since the defeat of Dartz. Everyone was living peacefully once again, and were very happy. Even the one and only Seto Kaiba, was smiling for once. He decided that in honor of the defeat of Dartz, he would have a reunion for all the people who participated in Battle City. He sent out invitations, and many people accepted.
------------------------
"HEY JOEY!"
It was a beautiful day in Domino, Japan. Yugi Motou and his best friends were at the Game Shop talking about their victory over Dartz.
"JOEY! HELLO!?" Tea screamed at her friend. "Joey? Is anybody home in there?" She asked as she waved her hand infront of his face.
"Huh? Oh yeah! Right! Um we sure kicked Dartz's butt! Right Yug?" Joey was zoning out into his own world. No matter how much he hated to admit it, he didn't like talking about this. The reason wasn't because of Dartz. It was because of Varon. Sure Joey had won, but it didn't seem like it. Maybe because Varon was still alive? Nah. It was like he had something else to win. But he didn't know what.
"Uhh sure...We did." Yugi replied a little worried. "Um, Joey? Are you okay? This is the fourth time today you zoned out on us while we were talking about Dartz."
"Yeah Yug, I'm fine. Really." Joey tried his best not to make Yugi worry, but he could tell it wasn't working.
"You sure, buddy?" Tristan looked at his best friend in concern. "You haven't been eating much lately, and that is not like you at all."
"Yeah, dun worry bout' me. I'm fine." Joey knew that wasn't true. 'Someding has been botherin' me lately...but I dun know what...it feels like my fight with Varon isn't over yet...'
Tea had a feeling what this was about. She knew who it had to do with, but reframed herself from saying anything. 'They loved each other since Battle City, maybe even before that....Everyone noticed it but themselves....And Varon wasn't a big help...Or was he?' [A/N: Anyone with even half a brain should know who Tea's talking about...If you don't then that is really sad...]
"Well okay....Anyway, I forgot to mention this." Yugi pulled out a piece of paper that looked like an invite to something, and showed it to his friends. "It came in the mail this morning. I think it's an invitation to something."
"I hope it's nothing like that invite Pegasus sent us a long time ago!" Tristan shivered at the thought.
"Lets hope not!" Tea thought about what happened when they watched the tape Pegasus sent Yugi. "That was terrible..."
"Well it doesn't look like a tape, or from Pegasus..." Yugi added.
"So den open it! What's da worst dat can happen!?" Joey said through his thick Brooklyn accent.
Everyone gave him looks. "Umm...okay, scratch dat." Joey gave a nervous laugh.
Yugi sighed. "Well lets find out..." He opened the letter up and read it out loud:
Dear Yugi,
It seems that Battle City was a long time ago. I plan on having another Tournament, but this isn't over yet. I will be holding a reunion party for all of those who were in my first Battle City Tournament. It will start tonight at 7:00 in the Domino Park, so be there! We will put our differences beside us for just tonight, so don't think that anything has changed between us. Everyone who was in Battle City will be there if they know what's good for them. You may bring a couple of friends along that weren't in Battle City if you like...(That was Mokuba's idea! Heh...NOT MINE!)
Sincerely,
The President of Kaiba Corp.
Seto Kaiba
P.S- Tell The Mutt about this...we didn't have enough invitations to send him one.
Joey exploded at the last sentence. "WHY DAT DIRTY ROTTEN KAIBA!! I WAS ONE OF DA FINALISTS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! I BET HE JUST DID DAT TA PISS ME OFF! DAT ASSHOLE!!!"
"Joey calm down!" Tea grabbed his arm before he made a scene.
"Everyone will be there, huh? Even Malik, and Isis?" Tristan asked. "And Bakura?"
"I guess so." Tea replied. "I guess we have to go and see for ourselves."
"Well Joey? Should we go?" Yugi asked him.
"Uhh....Why shouldn't we go?"
Tristan smirked. "Cause it will be an all night party, and Yugi is afraid little Joey will be scared!"
That caused Tea, and Yugi to fall on the floor laughing.
"Hahaha...very funny Tristan...." Joey rolled his eyes. "I won't be scared and, you're coming too. Kaiba said we could bring friends. Dat was da nicest ding he ever said-" Joey blinked. "Did I just say Kaiba said someding nice? Wow you guys are right, someding IS wrong with me today."
"Sure I'll go. But who knows what people will um....ahem...do in the dark" Tristan said.
Yugi, Joey, and Tea blushed. But then Tea...."YOU PERVERT!!!!!!!!!!!"
"WELL IT IS A PARK! AND IT WILL BE DARK OUT!" Tristan screamed. 'Hmmm...Serenity...' [A/N: BAD TRISTAN! STOP THINKING BAD THOUGHTS!]
"Dude, dat is just gross." Joey looked at him.
"IT'S PERFECTLY NATURAL! I BET YOU WILL DO THAT SOMEDAY WITH MA-" Tristan was stopped by Tea covering his mouth. She gave a nervous laugh. "TRISTAN, SHUT THE HELL UP!"
Joey looked confused. "What are ya talkin' bout'? WITH WHO!?"
"Um, never mind him! I'm going!" Yugi changed the subject back to the reunion party.
"Me too!" Tea insisted.
"Will dere be food?" Joey asked.
Everyone sweat dropped and fell over.
"DUH!!!!" Tea hit Joey over the head. "WHAT KIND OF PARTY DOESN'T HAVE FOOD!?"
"I WAS JUST MAKING SURE! YA DIDN'T HAVE TA HIT ME!" Joey rubbed the back of his head.
"There should be food, so maybe that will snap you back to your old self, Joey." Tristan replied. "And you know me, I love food too!"
"Yeah I know...BUT I CALL I GOT DIBS ON ALL DA JUNK FOOD!"
"NO ME!" Tristan yelled at him.
"NO ME!"
"NO ME!"
"NO ME!"
"ME!"
"ME!"
Yugi and Tea just sweat dropped.
"Well that settles it." Yugi broke up the fight between Joey and Tristan. "We are all going." He looked at Joey. "What about Serenity? You said she was coming to visit you. Do you think she will want to come too?"
"SERENITY! OH MY GOD I ALMOST FORGOT! I GOTTA PICK HER UP AT DA TRAIN STATION!" Joey screamed.
Every fell over in embarrassment.
"HOW CAN YOU BE SO STUPID!!!!!!????!?!?" Tristan yelled at him. "POOR SERENITY! DON'T WORRY I'M COMING FOR YOU!!!!" He screams as he runs out the door.
"WHAT DA HELL?!??! TRISTAN!!!!!!!!!!!" Joey screams as he runs after him.
Yugi and Tea sweat dropped.
"Well that was interesting....."
"Yeah....So, Yugi? You think Serenity will come?"
"Probably. Since Joey is going. Duke will probably show up too, since Serenity is going to be there. He always has a way of finding out those things." Yugi gave a nervous chuckle.
Tea laughed. "Yeah and Serenity doesn't even know she has two guys after her! Wow."
Yugi nodded. "Yeah."
"All eight of the Battle City finalists are going to be there, right?"
"I guess so, Tea. Why?"
"Well because....umm...Do you think it's best if Joey and Mai see each other? Or is it best if they shouldn't?"
Yugi hadn't even thought about that. He knew all about what happened with Varon, and how Joey's soul was taken because of Mai. "I really haven't thought about that. I don't know. Maybe they should see each other. You know? To talk."
"I don't know, Yugi." Tea sounded worried, and Yugi could tell. "Do you even think Joey knows Mai will be there?"
Yugi giggled. "I'm not even sure! I mean, do you really think he has that kind of common sense?"
Yugi and Tea smiled and looked at each other. "Nah." They then started laughing.
Meanwhile.....
Mai Valentine was sitting at home, watching TV. However, she just kept thinking about the invite she had recieved from Kaiba through the mail.
She sighed. "Everyone from Battle City will be there....Even that fake, John...." Mai had a disgusted look on her face, and remembered her duel with the famous movie star. "That was horrible...I almost had to marry him....." Then she remembered Joey saving her from that fall she took. Mai blushed, but then remembered the fight with Varon. Tears formed in her violet eyes. It seemed every time she thought or heard about Joey, she would end up thinking about the fight with Varon, and end up crying. She just realized that Joey would be at the reunion, and she could not confront him. 'I would end up crying in front of him....' She asked herself why all of this happened. She thought she loved Varon, but now she knew she didn't. She wanted someone else. 'No...no more crying....I'm tough and independent......I don't need anyone. Not Varon, or even Joey. Just myself.' Then the doorbell rang.
DinG DoNg.
Mai got up from her seat and answered the door to find a familiar, yet unwanted face at the door. "What do you want?"
"Mai-dear. Are you going to the Battle City reunion? Huh, sugar?"
"Get out of my life, John. And yes. I am going."
"Great great! You know, the park can be very romantic!"
Mai shut the door in his face. "UGH! WHAT A PIG!"
She could hear him scream outside. "I'll see you later, sugar!"
"I swear...he will never give up." She sighed.
Outside her house, Mai was unaware of someone listening to the whole conversation. 'Battle City Reunion, huh? Everyone who was entered in Battle City will be there? Perfect....'
--------------------------------
Darkhope: Alright, that was only the beginning. I know it wasn't much, but tell me what you think anyway. I do have plans for this, and I'll see where it leads to. Chapter 2 will probably be longer and more detail will be added. If I get enough reviews, I will consider continuing this fic.
