I feel like I haven't updated in forever. Which I haven't. *checks date* Damn. It's almost been a month. Oh I feel so bad now! I hope you all aren't too mad at me. I dragged my lazy ass off the sofa and wrote this for you guys. Doesn't sound like much effort, but after that exam and the curl ups...I pretty much feel like crap. Thank you to Eliza Kaiba and DarthWill3 for reviewing the last chapter!
Eliza Kaiba: Thank you so much! I'll need all the luck I can get. After today...Who the hell knows or cares what the similarities between the Andromeda galaxy and our galaxy are?
DarthWill3: Thank's for understanding! The last chapter was lacking in the Seto x Serenity department, so I made sure to add in their little moment here :)

Chapter three: Sweet Like Sugar
Seto awoke the next morning to blissful silence. He raised his eyebrow slightly, as if he wasn't used to the volume level. Carefully walking down the stairs, a bright pink post-it note caught his brilliant blue eyes. Curious, he peeled the note off the counter and smiled to himself.
Seto,
Spending the day with Rebecca.
Mokuba
It was nice that Mokuba had solidified his relationship with Rebecca. He was happy that his kid brother had found someone who made him happy, like Seto had with Serenity. Suddenly, a pair of delicate, snow white hands made their way on Seto's shoulders. Serenity. Smiling, he turned around and saw the honey eyed ginger grinning back at him.
"What 'cha got there?" she asked.
"A note from Mokie. He's spending the day with Rebecca," he answered.
Serenity wrinkled her nose. She absolutely adored their relationship. Both were good friends of hers. It had actually been Serenity who had gotten them together. "Oh, they're so cute together!"
Seto wrapped his arms around her waist, tossing the note aside. "I know someone else that's cute," he whispered seductively in her ear.
Serenity laughed and gently pushed him off. "C'mon. I need to get ready and go take a shower."
"Get ready for what? You don't have school today."
"Just because I don't have school, doesn't mean I don't have other plans," she snapped.
Oh? Someone's getting agitated. Seto liked that. He liked infuriating the small redhead. She had a temper to match her long locks. "In that case, I can help you."
Serenity raised her eyebrow, confused as to what he was getting at. "Wha-Oh hell no. You get in the shower with me and who knows what time it'll be when we come out."
Seto laughed. "Calm yourself, Wheeler. No need to get angry at me."
Serenity's lips fluttered across his jaw. "I'm not angry. I love you."
Seto loved the way it sounded. Those words coming out of her mouth. It was sincere. Not like the emotionless confessions he'd gotten in the past. Serenity really had changed him. If someone told him that he'd be madly in love with his enemy's younger sister and she'd change the way he acted, in all honesty, he'd tell them to get some help. Serenity was nothing like her older brother. Joey was obnoxious and annoying. Serenity was the complete opposite. She was competent to say the least. She was kind, caring, loving. He could literally go on forever. Seto took hold of her slender waist and crashed his lips over hers, silently returning his feelings.
"They picked a good cast for that," said Rebecca walking out of the theatre. She had linked arms with Mokuba as she was walking out.
"They did," admitted Mokuba. "So I suppose you're Team Peeta?"
"'S better than Team Gale," she replied. "Gale is obnoxious."
"Careful," warned Mokuba, pretending to look around. "You might cause a riot with the Team Gale girls."
Rebecca laughed. "Pfft. Gale's a dumbass. It's time they realised it."
Mokuba led the blonde to his car and graciously opened the door for her. Her eyes sparkled at him as she sat down. Mokuba slid into the driver's seat. He had been able to somewhat forget about what he'd witnessed the night before, but he knew that the mind scarring images would forever be burned into his mind. Rebecca crossed her legs and looked out the window, sighing. Mokuba glanced idly at her.
"What's wrong, Becca?"
"Eh? Oh it's nothing," she sighed. "Back to school work."
Mokuba's face cracked into a merry grin. She was so random sometimes. "I can help you. What do you have to do?"
"It's Chemistry. I suck at Chemistry."
Mokuba tilted his head slightly to the right. "Chemistry? I took that last year…I think I still remember some of the general ideas," he said slowly.
"Of course. A Kaiba would be a grade level ahead," joked Rebecca.
Mokuba shrugged. "It's not that hard. You just need to have a good understanding of Algebra."
"Which I don't," snapped Rebecca. "I hated Algebra and I failed with flying colours."
Oh Rebecca…"Rebecca Hawkins, granddaughter of the famous archaeologist, Arthur Hawkins, failed Algebra."
"Shut up, Mokuba. I'm pretty sure that Algebra has nothing to do with archaeology and even if it did, I told you that I never paid any attention to what Grampa taught me about archeology. I'm good at overriding computer systems. Not Algebra."
Mokuba pulled up to Rebecca's house, laughing. "Oh Rebecca. How you make me laugh."
"Come closer, I'll make the situation even more laughable," she huffed, climbing out of the car.
Mokuba took her hand and gently pulled her closer to him. His violet eyes were twinkling at her. "C'mon, Rebecca. You don't mean that, do you?" he asked lightly.
He saw a look of shock and annoyance on her face. Giving her a small smile, he caught her lips and tightened his hold on her waist. Her fingers became entangled in his raven hair, as she kissed him back passionately. Neither had heard the front door open or the impatient tapping of a man's foot. When they broke apart, Mokuba noticed that Mr. Hawkins had been there the entire time.
"Shit," he muttered. "Mr. Hawkins."
Rebecca spun around. "GRAMPA! Are you spying?"
Mr. Hawkins was not fazed by his granddaughter's yelling. "I was merely stepping out for a bit of fresh air when I happened to see you and young Mokuba, erm, publicly displaying your affection toward one another," he replied.
Rebecca and Mokuba turned bright red. He quickly let go of Rebecca's waist and distanced himself from her.
"So I'll pick you up tomorrow?" he asked quietly.
"Tomorrow at eight," she whispered back. "We can squeeze in a study session before school."
Rebecca dashed into the house with her long blonde hair flying out behind her. Mr. Hawkins curtly nodded at Mokuba before following her. When Mokuba heard the door close, his heart sank.
"Great. Now I have to go home. Lord knows what I'll find today."
I'm pretty happy with the way this chapter came out. I'm literally struggling to keep my eyes open. Gaaahh. I need sleep. Hope you guys liked the chapter. Don't forget to read and review! I need some inspiration. Well, no. I need to know what to do now. I already know how I'm gonna end this, but I haven't the faintest idea how to get there.
PS: Wish Mokuba luck. He really doesn't need to see Seto and Serenity again, does he?
