Yu-Gi-Oh: After-lives
Prologue- Nightlife
As some of you know, the last episode of Yu-Gi-Oh ended with the gang leaving for home, and the Pharaoh safely sealed away in his own time.
This story takes place about two months after the gang returned home.
“Hey guys! Wait up!” Joey Wheeler called from behind a hand-holding Yugi Moto and Téa Gardner.
The two stopped and waited for Joey, their hands still twined together. They had only been going out for 3 weeks.
Joey caught up to them and leaned over to catch his breath.
“Joey! I told you to hurry and that me and Yugi were going to leave you behind!” Téa hissed at him.
“I was looking for Tristan,” he panted, “He's going out with Serenity tonight. Remember?”
They did; that's all Tristan had been talking about for days and all Joey had been complaining about it for just as long.
“You know, Joey. You don't have to be so overprotective all the time.” Yugi said to his friend.
“I wasn't…going to tell him…anything else,” Joey said holding up a yellow envelope, “Serenity…wanted me…to give this…to him.”
“Okay, so…did you check the parking lot?” Téa asked.
“No! I hadn't thought of that!” Joey answered, “I'll go over and check. Oh, and remember, tomorrow night you're all coming with me to meet my girlfriend.”
“7-o-clock, Joey. We know.” Téa said.
“See ya later guys!” he called as he ran to find Tristan.
Téa and Yugi sighed and turned to walk to Téa's. Yugi, after they started dating, walked her all the way home or they'd go to Yugi's instead.
“I wonder why Joey wants us to meet his girlfriend?” Yugi asked as he pressed the button so they could cross the street.
“I guess he want to show her off,” Téa thought out loud, “She's all he talks about.” The light turned and they walked across.
“Yeah, she is,” Yugi said, “But notice, Téa: he doesn't ever say her name.”
Téa thought about that for a minute. “You're right, Yugi! I've noticed he always talked around her name! He's trying to protect her identity. So, maybe he's dating a girl that he said he would never date.”
“Or maybe he's dating somebody famous. Like a pop star or a high class duelist.”
“Joey, dating someone famous? Are you kidding!?” Téa laughed.
“Or maybe it's Mai.”
Téa stopped laughing and squeezed Yugi's hand. Mai had disappeared a while back. She had been out with some other friends at the Tory Duel Dome. The other girls said that a huge man with blonde, frizzy hair picked her up and took her away. The girl's tried to fight him off, but to no avail. The man took her and she had been missing for at least 4 months.
Joey had gone into a depression after that, but became cheerful after he spent a lot of time with his girlfriend. She seemed to have calmed him down and brought the real him back out to the others.
Yugi squeezed Téa's hand back and she smiled at him. They were now right outside her house. Téa leaned down and Yugi put his face up to her's and they kissed. The first kiss for both of them. They came out of it and they looked into each others eyes.
“Téa,” Yugi said blushing.
“Yes?” she asked. Their heads were close and Téa was leaning over to be close to her boyfriend.
“I…love you,” he said with his face as red as a beet.
“Yugi…” Téa said, “I love you, too.”
Tears welled up in Téa's eyes as she leaned down to hug Yugi. He squeezed her and let go after a while and kissed her forehead.
Téa stood up and wiped her eyes. And Yugi looked into her eyes again.
“See you tomorrow, Yugi,” Téa said as she started towards her door.
“I'll come and get you Téa,” said Yugi, “See you tomorrow!”
Téa turned and waved to him and started to open her door. Yugi turned to go home.
“I'll be waiting at 6!” Téa called to him.
“Okay!” Yugi called back.
He ran all the way home with a smile on his face and in his heart.
“Tristan!” Joey yelled to his friend.
Tristan stopped putting on his helmet and stared at Joey running across the parking lot with an envelope in hand.
“What do you want Joey!?” Tristan yelled at Joey when his pal got over to him, “I have a date to get ready for, man! If this is more of your rules-”
Joey cut Tristan off by putting the envelope in the biker's face. Tristan read the name on it: Tristan. Written clearly by Joey's little sister.
“From…Serenity.” Joey panted as Tristan took the letter, “I…left it…in my…desk.”
“So you're cool with me and Serenity?” Tristan asked Joey as they stared at each other.
“Tristan, if I could let anyone date my little sister, it would be you.” Joey answered.
“Thanks man,” said Tristan, as he pocketed the letter and put on his helmet.
“Show her a good time,” Joey said as Tristan started his bike.
“Don't worry; she'll be talking about this date for years.”
Tristan gave Joey a thumbs up and pulled out of the school parking lot.
Joey stood there a while before walking off school grounds and stopping only when a long black limo pulled up next to him.
The window rolled down and a girl asked, “Want a ride home, Joey Pup?”
“Yeah, Jami Cat,” he answered as he opened the door himself and climbed in.
Before he started to roll the window back up, he was already lip locked with the girl.
The window went up and the limo drove away.
“Joey, who is this girl?” asked Tristan over the roar of the music.
Joey had brought them to the most popular dance club in the city and everyone but Joey felt out of place.
Serenity was clinging to Tristan's arm. They had really hit it off the night before. Yugi and Tea were holding hands under the table, too shy to do it on top of the table. Joey was standing looking around for his girl.
“I've told you, guys. She's my girlfriend,” Joey said as he spotted someone, or something, jumped and ran to the other side of the table.
The most popular girl in the city, Jami Tory, had walked in with her butler/bodyguard behind her. She was the top female duelist in the world and was the daughter of a multibillionaire. She was also a rising pop artist. Her butler, James, was skinny, but not one to mess with. With 5 black belts, he was someone to be feared.
The brunette saw Joey and ran over to him. He swooped her up in a hug and spun her around. When he put her down he kissed her.
“You're dating…” Tristan started.
“Her?” Yugi and Tea said in unison to finish.
“Yeah,” Joey answered as he came out of the kiss and kept his hands around Jami's waist and she kept hers around his neck.
“Jami!” Serenity said as she stood up and hugged the green-eyed girl that loved her brother.
“Serenity! Look at you!” Jami said back.
Joey let go of Jami and stepped back to let them hug. Jami and Serenity clung to each other and jumped in a circle of excitement.
“Serenity!? You knew Joey's girlfriend and you didn't tell me who she was?” Tristan yelled stunned at what his new girlfriend knew.
Serenity and Jami came out of their hug and Serenity hugged Tristan around his shoulders.
“It was the only condition he gave me before our date. That and no sex,” Serenity told him as she squeezed him.
She and Jami started laughing and Joey and the others had sweat drops on their heads.
“Jami,” Joey said as the girls stopped and Serenity sat down on Tristan's lap, “Let me introduce you. The guy sitting underneath Serenity is Tristan.”
“Hey,” Tristan said as hugged Serenity from behind. He starting tickling her, making both girls laugh.
“The girl is Tea,” Joey continued.
“Hi Jami,” Tea said, clearing holding back a handful of questions and screams.
“And I know Yugi from a duelist dinner. Hi Yugi,” Jami said as she smiled and waved at him.
“Hi Jami,” Yugi said back, “How's your school doing?”
“Great! I have 3 new students already!” Jami said happily as her and Joey say down.
“That's good to hear!” Serenity and Yugi said in unison with smiles to match Jami's.
“So, Jami,” Tristan asked as Serenity took her own seat and Joey and Jami sat down in theirs, “How did you meet Joey?”
Jami's face flushed as red as it goes and she put her eyes to the floor. Joey's face was redder than a tomato. They didn't look anyone in their eyes. Not even each other.
“Umm…” was all Jami could get out.
“It's a long story,” Joey cut in as he felt his face get hot.
“We all have time,” Tea said.
“Come on, Joey you can tell us,” Yugi said.
Joey and Jami looked at each other and smiled weakly.
“Okay,” Jami said taking Joey's hand under the table, “We met on the internet. Joey found me in the Tory Duelist Chat Room, or the TDCR. I'm the Head Administrator”
“She disguised herself with a good screen name and never said her name until we met in person.” Joey said.
“When did you meet in person?” Yugi asked.
“A little over a year ago,” Joey answered.
“When did you meet!?” Tea asked.
“Oh, about…20 months ago,” Jami said.
“And we've been dating for a year and 2 weeks,” Joey said.
“Is that why you didn't come with us to the movie?” Tristan said as Serenity clung to his arm again.
“Yeah; it was our anniversary and we went to dinner,” Joey said.
The DJ announced the playing of the American song “You & Me” by Lifehouse and Joey stood up and extended his hand to Jami.
“Dance with me?” he asked.
She smiled and took his hand.
“Yes, I'll dance with you.”
She stood up and he led her to the dance floor as the song started.
“Since when does Joey dance?” Yugi asked.
“Just watch him; he's gotten really good,” Serenity said as she pointed at the couple.
Joey and Jami started doing a dance that Jami had taught him when they first met in person. Well, that's what Serenity said. She also said “You & Me” was Joey's and Jami's song.
Later, Joey and Jami confirmed the young Wheeler's words and the three couples danced, talked, and ate all night, enjoying each others warm company.
At 11:30, they decided to go home and get some sleep.
“I'm gonna take Serenity home now,” Tristan said as he gently started to wake his girlfriend from her deep sleep.
“Tristan, didn't you bring Serenity on your motorcycle?” Joey asked. Jami was half-asleep, clinging to his shirt and it looked like she wouldn't be able to stand any longer. His arms were around her and he rocked her back and forth. He was the only thing keeping her standing.
Only Coldplay's “Fix Me” was playing and all of girls were drained. Everybody was leaving the club for the night.
“Yeah, and your point is?” Tristan answered as a heavy-eyed Serenity allowed him to put on her helmet.
“Don't worry, Joey,” Jami mumbled from his shirt, “James has some of my links and Serenity has her bracelets.”
Joey looked at his sister's wrists. Sure enough, Serenity was wearing the link bracelets that Jami had given her.
“See?” Tristan said as he showed Joey the metal circles on his leather jacket, “She'll be safe, man. Don't worry; I wouldn't let her get hurt.”
Tristan cooed Serenity to stand up. When she did, she clung to his arm, trying to get as close as possible to his body.
Yugi and Tea were behind Tristan. Yugi was helping an exhausted Tea put on her jacket. He had to guide her hands in and her head was resting on his chest.
“Come on Tea,” he said in a deadbeat voice,”Just put your arm in the sleeve, and we can go home.”
The drowsy girl put her arm clumsily into the sleeve and Yugi pulled it through. He then pulled her up to where he could hold her comfortably. Tea dully put her arms around Yugi.
“You're coming with us, Yug?” Joey asked as he pulled Jami to his side so he could walk.
“Yeah; me and Tea,” Yugi said as Tea stirred at the sound of her name.
“Yugi? Are we going home?” she asked in a near inaudible voice.
“Yeah; Jami and her butler are going to drops us off at home,” he told her.
She stood up with his help and she struggled to keep her eyes open.
The boys led the girls out and James, Jami's butler, opened the door to the limo, and then went to help Tristan with Serenity.
Yugi climbed into the limo first and Joey helped Tea get in next. Joey then placed in Jami and afterwards he went over to Tristan's bike, where James was helping Tristan connect Serenity's bracelets' metal rings to the rings on his jacket.
“See? And all you do to get them off is to pull this latch back up and take it off and that's it!” James said as he stood back.
Joey walked over to see from the front. Serenity's head was resting on Tristan's back, her helmet securely on. Her fingers were intertwined, and her bracelets were attached to Tristan's jacket with special latches.
Serenity must have seen him through her helmet, because one of her hands lifted and waved at his presence.
He smiled and waved back.
“See ya later, man,” Tristan said to Joey.
“Yeah, I'll see ya later. And I'll see you at church tomorrow,” he said to the girl behind his beat friend. Serenity waved and entwined her hands again.
Tristan started the engine and waved to Joey and James before kicking off and launching down the street.
“Okay, Joey,” James said patting the teen's back, “Let's get you and the others home.”
“Yeah,” Joey said as he got to the door of the limo. He looked inside and chuckled.
“Sleeping like they're in their own beds,” Joey said as climbed in and James closed the door.
Yugi was asleep, sitting up, with Tea's head in his lap. Jami was snoozing beside Joey and he pulled her head onto his lap.
James took Tea home first. It took a drowsy, half-asleep Yugi a while to get her to her door and to get back in. Tea was so tired. She could hardly get to her door without almost falling asleep on her boyfriend.
Next, was Yugi. On accident, and out of clear drowsiness, he ran into his front door, bringing his grandpa to the door in sheer terror.
When Yugi had gotten up off the ground with James's help, he waved to Joey and went inside with his grandpa and James came back to close the door of the limo.
Jami stirred after the car started off again. She then sat up in shock, staring right into Joey's eyes. Her eyes were clouded from the lack of light.
“Joey?” she asked as she cuddled up to him, “Where are we?” Her voice was ruff from her nap.
“On our way to your house. Yugi and the others are already home,” he answered.
“Ummm…” was her response. She cuddled up to him, desperate for his body heat and presence.
They rode in calm for a while, until Jami broke the silence.
“Joey?” she asked again.
“Yes?” he asked back.
“Will you kiss me, please?” Jami requested as she sat up and looked into his eyes.
He looked back at her and smiled. He moved his face closer to hers. She closed her eyes and their lips touched in a loving kiss as Joey's eyes closed.
He put his hand on her cheek and they took a breath and kissed again. Jami's hands went to Joey chest and up to his shoulders. Joey put his hands around her waist and trailed them up her back.
They made out until they heard the engine turn off and James get out and close his door.
“Joey, I love you.” Jami said as they came out of their last kiss.
“I love you, too; Jamilla Maria Tory.” Joey said back with a smile.
Jami and Joey sat back in their seat and waited for James to open the door. When he did, Jami got out with Joey behind her. James closed the limo door and headed for the front door as Jami and Joey embraced each other in a hug.
“I want to be with you forever, Joey,” Jami said in his ear.
“I want to hold you like this whenever I want without having to wait hours or even days for it,” Joey said as he squeezed her tighter.
He loosened his clutch on her and then gave her a quick kiss on her lips.
He allowed himself to completely let go of her. Jami smiled weakly at him as she walked away and slipped her hand out of his grasp.
She blew him a kiss as she went inside and James waved him a goodnight. Joey walked over to his dad's car and got in.
He started the car up, and put on the seatbelt. Joey sat there staring at the steering wheel, thinking about his friends, his sister, his girl.
“I will make her mine forever,” he told the car, “She will be my wife and we'll happy together forever.”
He put the car in gear and headed home. Planning the entire time on when and how he would give Jami her future engagement ring. He was going to be her husband and her, his wife. And they would be together forever, in love; the princess and her prince.
