"So I went to the party with him, right? Because certain people couldn't be bothered to invite me. Maybe my star point level wasn't high enough or something, huh?"
He pauses. But when Kaiba doesn't say anything, he goes on, "and those same certain people made this rule about how you hadda come dressed as your favorite Duel Monster."
This time Kaiba does respond. "Flaming Swordsman." He snerks. "Appropriate."
"Yeah, well I came out better'n him anyways," Jou says. "That Valkyrie costume of his didn't leave much to the imagination. I tell you, if I could make myself look that girly that easy, I don't think I'd be so eager to advertise it."
Kaiba grins. "Next year I'll make everyone come in dog suits," he says, "so you'll feel more comfortable."
"Huh, well you didn't even bother wearing a costume, did ya? What's up with that?" Jou demands. "Couldn't be bothered or something? I wanted to see you dressed up as a Blue-Eyes."
"The only reason I came at all, was because the party was at Kaiba-Land. I left as soon as I welcomed everyone," Seto says, "ifyou noticed?"
"Yeah, I noticed. You came late, and you left early. I was lookin' forward to dancing with you in your Blue-Eyes costume," Jou grumbles.
"And instead you showed up as half of the gayest couple there: Flaming Swordsman, and Siefried-the-Pink-Haired-Valkyrie. Was there a point to this story?" Seto asks, "because I have to get up for work in the morning."
Jou pouts. "When don't ya?" With a sigh, "yeah, there's a point," he says. "I was there with Sieggy, right? He's supposed to be my date? Only he kept on looking over at you, the whole time you were there, and then right after you left, he told me he was ready to leave too. Worst Halloween party ever."
"He wanted to mess with my computer system again," Seto says.
"He wanted to mess with something, anyway."
"He wanted to hack my mainframe."
"C'mere." Jou grabs him. "I'll hack your mainframe for ya," he says. And after that, there's no more talking.
