Maxime: OhMyGosh, I'm sorry. o:
Yami: Good girl 8D
Maxime: *Glares at Yami* Anyways, I'm sorry for making you wait so long! But here's a new one! :D

"Come on guys! I wanna seee." Yugi was eager to get back because he wanted to know what was in the letters. Ryou chuckled, shaking his head a little. "Be careful Yug, we don't want them to get them, so, shhh."

Jou on the other hand was staring a bit dreamy as they went back and he didn't bother trying to get into the conversation.

"Hey Jou? Are you feeling alright?" Yugi asked after a minute or five.

"W-what?" The blond asked, blinking. "Oh, I'm fine, really." He said with a sheepish smile, rubbing the back of his neck. "Let's get inside and see what he gave us." He said before the two of them would start asking questions.

"Alright." Ryou nodded. It took them about 15 minutes to get the horses back in the stable and wander back to their space in the cellar.

"Come on Ryou! Tell us what the letter's about." Yugi was almost bouncing up and down as he watched his friend's mouth fall open. Jou had already been standing behind Ryou to read along. "He's gotta be kiddin'." The blond muttered.

On his turn Ryou shook his head, pointing at the royal stamp on the bottom of the letter. "It's real." He breathed.

"Guyyyys!" Yugi exclaimed, pouting as he wanted to know what they were talking about.

"O-oh, sorry Yug, but it seems that we're invited to the prince's ball." Jou uttered as he reread the piece of paper.

"What? That's-" "YUGI!" The male sighed softly before he raced upstairs.

"What took you so long?" Caren snapped, handing him her coat. "I'm sorry ma'am." Yugi said softly, putting the coat away. "Is dinner ready yet?"

"Ah, no ma'am, I was-" "Save me your excuses, I'll deal with that later." Yugi winced a little at that. "But make it quick, I'm sure our guests are rather hungry."

Yugi blinked at that part, looking u and glancing over at the door, where a rather confused Bakura and Seto were standing. The young male just stared at them for a moment or two. "Well? Get going!" That snapped him out of his daze. "I'm sorry, ma'am." He nodded, casting the two another strange look before he went to the kitchen, where Jou and Ryou already were preparing dinner.

"You guys are great." Yugi said with a slight sigh of relief. "But, uhm, Seto and Bakura are here." "What? Why are they here?" Ryou asked with a slight worried tone. "I don't know, but I do know that it means we need more food." Yugi stated.

He helped the other two to make dinner until his name was called again, making him jump and almost drop what he was doing onto the floor.

"Yes ma'am?" He asked, walking into the dining room. "Why don't you give us something to drink?"

Yugi nodded and went to pour out the drinks as Caren asked why the two of them were here.

"Ah, well, we wanted to see where J-" Yugi's eyes went wide and he looked at Seto pleadingly, shaking his head. She couldn't know they talked to them, they'd get into trouble because of that.

Seto almost finished what he wanted to say, but instead he winced and glared at Bakura as he elbowed his stomach since he seemed to have noticed what the smaller male had wanted.

"We-uhh, came here to invite your daughters to the prince's ball. He's looking for someone to marry." Bakura quickly filled in and that wasn't a lie, just the half truth. But he did cast a worried glance at the small blond. Something seemed off about this scene.

Maxime: I am not going to notify everyone anymore if there's a now chapter out. that'll take me ages. -w-
Yugi: She's just lazy, but there is a button for that kind of shizzle, if you want to know when the next chapter comes out, just click that button people.
Maxime: Pshh, me lazy? Never, but reviews are always loved. x3
