Here's the next chapter.

A lot of people have been asking if Yugi's mother and stepfather are coming in so that they can be dealt with. I do plan on bringing them into the story. It just might not happen for a little while, but they will come in and get it. I promise!

Enjoy!


Chapter 29- Birthdays part 2

Yami was sitting at his desk in his study. He had taken the day off from work, so he had decided to use that time to plan out Sophia's birthday party, which was coming up soon.

Mitchell, Brighton, and Sophia were all at school, and Danny was taking a nap.

Yugi was working, so it gave Yami the perfect chance to plan the party.

'Sophia's going to be happy because it's going to be at the Princess Palace like she wanted.' Yami thought. He smiled. He knew that neither of his sons were going to be happy abut this since they had to go, and he had a feeling that his father was going to be less than thrilled. 'We all have to do it, though.' Yami thought.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Yami called.

The door opened, and Amara walked into the office. "I hope I'm not interrupting something, Atemu." Amara said.

"No, Mom. You're not. I wasn't working on things from the office. I was planning Sophia's birthday arty." Yami said.

"I wish you had been able to get reservations to the Princess Palace like Sophia wanted." Amara said, sitting down in the chair across from Yami.

Yami smiled. "Actually, I did." Yami said.

Amara was shocked. "How did you manage that?" Amara asked.

Yami chuckled. "Turns out that the woman who owns the place is an old friend of Yugi's, and he talked to her for me. She was able to work it for us to be able to do it." Yami said.

"Well, I suppose connections are a good thing in this case." Amara said.

"Yeah. It is." Yami said.

"Who is this old friend?" Amara asked.

Yami gave his mother a look.

"What?" Amara asked, startled by the look.

"Mom, she's not a threat to me and Yugi." Yami said.

"I know that, Atemu. You and Yugi have a strong relationship, and I have no doubt that it would take a miracle for you two to break up. I was just curious." Amara said.

"Well, to satisfy your curiosity, her name is Rebecca von Schroeder. Before she was married, her name was Rebecca Hawkins. Her grandfather, Arthur Hawkins, is a good friend of Solomon's, and whenever Arthur Hawkins would comet to visit Solomon, he would bring his granddaughter Rebecca with him. Yugi has a brother-sister type relationship with Yugi." Yami said.

"Oh." Amara said.

"And before you ask, I have met her before this. I just didn't know that she owned the Princess Palace until recently." Yami said.

"Okay, Atemu. No need to bite my head off." Amara said.

"With you, it's the only way to get you to back off." Yami replied.

"So, when is it?" Amara asked.

"I have the room for October 16. Since Sophia's birthday is on a Thursday, I figure it's better to wait until Saturday to do the party." Yami said.

"Makes sense." Amara agreed.

"So, don't worry. Sophia is getting the party that she wants." Yami said.

"I'm glad of that." Amara said.

"So am I. That's all she's been talking about for her birthday. I was afraid that I would have to tell her we couldn't do it." Yami said.

"I imagine." Amara said.

"Thank goodness I had Yugi." Yami said.

"Because he has connections." Amara said.

"Yeah. I didn't even know she was the owner of the Princess Palace until Yugi and I were talking one night." Yami said.

"Really?" Amara asked.

Yami nodded.

~Flashback~

Yami groaned as he leaned back in the chair that was at the desk in his room.

Yugi, who had been reading a book, looked up and over at his boyfriend. "What's wrong, Yami?" Yugi asked.

"I can't believe that I am going to be disappointing Sophia." Yami said.

"Why are you disappointing her?" Yugi asked, closing the book.

"Well, Sophia wants to have her birthday party at this place called the Princess Palace, and it's impossible to get reservations for it. Believe me. I tried. You have to book months in advance, and Sophia only recently wanted it." Yami said.

"Why did she just learn recently?" Yugi asked.

"Because one of her friends had her birthday party there, and now, Sophia wants hers there." Yami said. He sighed. "And I'm going to have to tell her that it won't happen. She's going to be so crushed." Yami said.

Yugi smiled. He stood up and walked over to stand behind Yami, wrapping his arms around Yami. "And what if I told you that you didn't have to disappoint Sophia?" Yugi asked.

Yami glanced back. "I'd ask you how you know that." Yami replied.

Yugi chuckled. "You remember Rebecca von Schroeder?" Yugi asked.

"Yeah. She's that girl who's like a sister for you." Yami replied.

"Well, she just happens to be the owner of the Princess Palace." Yugi said with a smile.

Yami instantly turned around to face Yugi, forcing Yugi to let go of Yami. "Are you serious?" Yami asked.

"I'm very serious, Yami." Yugi replied.

"Do you think-" Yami started.

"Yes, Yami. I will talk to Rebecca and see if she can't work something out." Yugi replied.

"Thank you, Yugi! This is great!" Yami said, hugging Yugi tightly.

"Anytime, Yami. I want Sophia to have a good birthday." Yugi said. He then smiled mysteriously. "But there is something you need to do for me." Yugi said.

"Anything!" Yami said.

~End Flashback~

Amara held up her hand. "Atemu, I don't need to hear how you had to thank him." Amara said.

"Mom, believe me. It's not what you think." Yami assured her.

"What do you mean?" Amara asked.

"Mom, in order to thank him, I spent last Saturday helping him clean out his attic." Yami said.

"That's how he got you to thank him?" Amara asked.

Yami nodded.

"Certainly not what I thought." Amara said.

"Me and you both." Yami replied.

"At least you did get it." Amara said.

"Yes, I did. I talked to Rebecca not long ago and finalized the details. We're all set as far as the place is concerned. They even furnish the cake." Yami said.

"Really?" Amara asked.

Yami nodded. "They special in birthdays, so they add that in." Yami said.

"Well, I'm glad that it all worked out." Amara said.

"Me and you both." Amara said.


Yugi had taken a break to eat his lunch. He had brought his lunch that day and decided to just eat in his office.

While he was eating, his cell phone rang.

Yugi picked up the phone and said, "Hello?"

"Hi, Yugi." a female voice said.

Yugi smiled. He recognized the voice. "Hey, Rebecca. What's going on?" Yugi asked.

"Not much. I just thought that I'd call and let you know that I confirmed it with your boyfriend that they'll have one of the rooms for his daughter's birthday." Rebecca answered.

"Thanks, Rebecca. I appreciate you working with us with it being so last minute." Yugi said.

"Don't mention it, Yugi. I have a daughter of my own. She's just a year old than Yami's daughter, and I understand the desire to give them what they want for their birthday." Rebecca said.

"Yeah. This'll mean a lot to Sophia." Yugi said.

"Well, I couldn't very well turn down you, now can I? I didn't want you disappoint your boyfriend." Rebecca teased.

"Rebecca." Yugi said warningly.

"What? I have the right to tease you." Rebecca said. She then turned serious. "I have to admit that I was surprised when I heard you were dating again. I thought you would end up alone all your life." Rebecca said.

"Gee. Thanks a lot, Rebecca. I'm glad to see that you have so much faith in me." Yugi said sarcastically.

Rebecca giggled. "Sorry, Yugi. You have to admit that it did take a while. I was rather surprised that he had four kids." Rebecca said.

"Well, it happens sometimes. I love those kids to death, though." Yugi said.

"I know. I'm glad that I was able to help." Rebecca said.

"Well, I owe you one." Yugi said.

"Just make sure that you invite me to the wedding." Rebecca said.

"Rebecca, Yami and I aren't even engaged." Yugi said.

"Yugi, I saw the way he was looking at you. I have a feeling that you two are going to get married whether you get engaged any time soon or not." Rebecca said.

"All right. I have your opinion. Thank you for it." Yugi said.

Rebecca laughed. "I just thought I'd call and let you know that everything's set for the party. I'd better go. I've got things I have to do." Rebecca said.

"Okay, Rebecca. Thanks for letting me know. I'll talk to you later." Yugi said.

"All right, Yugi. Bye." Rebecca said.

"Bye." Yugi replied before he hung up. He smiled. 'Well, Sophia's getting the party she wants. I know Yami's happy that he doesn't have to disappoint Sophia.' Yugi thought.


At dinner that night, the Sennen family was gathered at the table, including Yugi.

"Sophia, I thought that you might like to know that your party is going to be at the Princess Palace." Yami told her.

Sophia's eyes brightened. "really?" Sophia asked.

"Yes, Sophia. Really." Yami said.

"Yes! Thank you, Daddy!" Sophia said.

Mitchell, Brighton, and Aknankanon all looked horrified.

"You're welcome." Yami said. He was about to say something else, but didn't get the chance to.

"Dad, I thought that it was next to impossible to get a place there." Mitchell said.

"I thought it would be. However, thanks to Yugi, we were able to get in." Yami said.

"You?" Brighton asked, looking at Yugi.

Yugi laughed. "Rebecca von Schroeder, the owner of the Princess Palace, is an old friend of mine. I was able to talk to her, and she was able to work it so we can have the party there." Yugi said.

"You know here?" Mitchell asked.

"Yes. Rebecca's grandfather, Arthur Hawkins, is an old friend of my grandfather's, and when he would come to visit Grandpa, Arthur always brought Rebecca with him. She's only a couple years younger than I am. We know each other well, and develop a brother-sister type relationship." Yugi said.

"So, that's how you got us in." Aknankanon said.

"Yes." Yami answered.

"I'm so excited! I can't wait." Sophia said.

"Dad, do we-" Mitchell started.

"Yes, Mitchell. You have to go." Yami answered.

"Drat." Brighton said.

"Cheer up, boys. It won't be as bad as you think." Amara said.

"Maybe." Brighton said.

One glare from Yami had the two boys perking up since they knew that it might bring Sophia down.

The group soon finished dinner.

"I can't believe that you managed to get a room at that place." Aknankanon said.

"Dad, you don't sound too happy that I was able to." Yami said.

"Well, not exactly a place that I would want to go to." Aknankanon admitted.

"But you'll go for your granddaughter's sake." Amara said.

"Yes. I will." Aknankanon agreed.

Yami chuckled. "Then it doesn't really matter." Yami said.

Aknankanon sighed. "I suppose not." Aknankanon agreed.

"I think that you'll live through it." Yugi said. He looked to where Mitchell and Brighton were in the living room. "I think that Brighton and Mitchell are the ones we need to worry about not living through the experience." Yugi said.

"They'll live." Yami said.

"Indeed." Amara agreed.

'Well, if I have to suffer, at least they do, too.' Aknankanon thought.


~October 16, Sophia's Birthday Party~

Yami, Yugi, and the kids walked into the large pink building that had been built to look like a palace.

"It's pink." Mitchell said.

"Mitchell, don't start." Yami said warningly.

"Come on!" Sophia said, wanting to go in.

"All right, Sophia. We're coming." Yugi said to the now six-year-old.

The group walked into the building and headed for the reception area.

There, a woman with long blonde hair, green eyes, and glasses on was standing there. She was wearing a light blue feminine suit.

"Rebecca?" Yugi asked.

Rebecca turned around and smiled. "Hi, Yugi." Rebecca said, going over to hug the man she saw as a brother.

"I didn't think that you would be here greeting us." Yugi said.

"Well, normally I don't,. but I thought I would make an exception for you. Come on." Rebecca said. She started to lead them down one of the four halls that branched off from the lobby.

The group walked down the hall and saw that there were several doors down the hallway, and there were also several sets stairs that led up to the upper levels.

"So, what's with all the different doors?" Brighton asked.

"Brighton." Yami said warningly, not wanting his son to say something to embarrass them.

"It's all right." Rebecca told him. She stopped in front of one of the doors and walked into it, leading them in.

The room looked like a ballroom, and it had pictures of the characters from Cinderella on the wall. There were also some table and chairs set up in the room.

"Wow. It looks like we should be in the old days." Mitchell said.

Sophia's eyes lit up. "It's from Cinderella!" Sophia exclaimed.

"It is?" Brighton asked.

Rebecca smiled. "Yes. You see, each of the rooms here are designed to look like a scene from the different Disney Princess movies. Some are Cinderella, but they're also from The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, and all the other movies." Rebecca said.

"Wow. Sounds like paradise for girls." Brighton said.

"In many ways, it is." Rebecca said.

"This going to be great!" Sophia said, obviously excited.

"It's pretty well set up. Your guests should be arriving soon." Rebecca said.

"Thanks, Rebecca." Yugi said.

"No problem." Rebecca replied before she left the room.

Sophia had started walking around the room, looking.

"Dad, do we-" Mitchell started.

"Mitchell, if you ask me if you and your brother have to stay through this one more time, I am going to ground you. I have already said that you are going to stay through the party." Yami said.

"This is more of something for a girl, though." Brighton said.

"Brighton, don't argue with me. You're staying." Yami said.

Both boys didn't look happy about that.

"Cheer up, boys. It won't be as bad as you think." Yugi said.

"That's easy for you to say. You have to suffer through this. Your dad's boyfriend." Mitchell said.

Yami rolled his eyes. "If Yugi wanted to get out of coming, he could have just gone on to work like he was supposed to." Yami said.

"You were supposed to work?" Mitchell asked.

"Yes. I took a personal day so that I could come here." Yugi said.

"Man." Mitchell said.

Yugi shook his head.

"Boys, please cheer up. I don't want you to get your sister down just because you didn't want to be here." Yami said.

"Yes, Dad." Mitchell and Brighton said.


Sophia's party was going.

Sophia and her friends were playing with the dress-up clothes provided as well as the dolls there.

Solomon, Seto, Amara, and Aknankanon were watching over them while Brighton and Mitchell were keeping Danny and Seth occupied. Joey was taking care of Maya.

Yami noticed that his boyfriend had disappeared so he went to find him.

There were a few rooms in a hall at the back of the room, so Yami went to see if he was there.

"No way, Rebecca! There is no way I am doing it!"

Yami heard Yugi say that and wondered what was going on. He peered into a room to see Yugi and Rebecca in the room.

"Come on, Yugi. It's something we always do here." Rebecca said.

"You can't be serious?" Yugi said, looking at her incredulously.

Rebecca smiled. "I'm very serious." Rebecca said. She then got a mischievous look on her face. "Besides, Yami might be rather turned on by the idea." Rebecca said.

Yugi glared at her.

Yami, still not understanding what was going on, walked into the room.

Hearing him walk in, Yugi looked over. "What are you doing here, Yami?" Yugi asked.

"I noticed that you were missing, and I came to look for you." Yami said.

"Yami, maybe you can help me convince Yugi to do this." Rebecca said.

"Rebecca, there is no way you are going to manage something like that." Yugi said.

"Oh, come on. It's not that bad." Rebecca said.

"Someone want to clue me in?" Yami asked.

"It's a tradition here that the parents always dress up as the main characters from the story. Since Yugi's your boyfriend-" Rebecca was cut off.

"She wants me to wear a dress." Yugi said.

"A dress?" Yami repeated.

Yugi nodded and pointed to a blue dress that looked like a replica of the dress that Cinderella wore the ball.

"Is that-" Yami started.

"Yes." Yugi growled.

"Come on. It's tradition. Besides, it's just a few hours." Rebecca said.

"Rebecca, in case you've forgotten, I'm male. I don't wear dresses!" Yugi said.

Yami looked at the dress and raised an eyebrow. 'Hmm. I wonder what Yugi would like in that dress.' Yami thought.

Yugi glared at Rebecca. "Rebecca, there is no way that you are going to get me into that dress." Yugi said.

"You know, Yugi, it might not be such a bad thing." Yami said.

Yugi turned to Yami and saw that he was serious. "Oh no! No way! You can't be serious!" Yugi exclaimed.

"Well, it would mean a lot to Sophia, and it would only be a few hours." Yami said.

"No! No way! I am not wearing a dress! Especially not one like that!" Yugi said defiantly.


"I hate you." Yugi muttered. He was red with embarrassment.

Seto, Joey, Aknankanon, Amara, Solomon, Mitchell, and Brighton were all trying to stifle their laughter at Yugi.

Yami and Rebecca had convinced Yugi to go through with it, and he was now wearing the blue dress, high heels, and headband to complete the outfit.

The little girls weren't laughing, but having fun.

"It won't be long, Yugi." Yami assured him. He felt rather embarrassed at wearing the outfit that the Prince had worn. Of course, he was glad he didn't have to wear the dress.

It wasn't long before the food got served.

After everyone was done eating, it was time for Sophia to open her gifts.

From her friends, she got different dolls and other toys.

From Solomon, Sophia got a few more Duel Monsters stuffed animals to add to her collection.

From her grandparents, she got a set of dolls that contained all the princesses: Cinderella, Ariel, Aurora, Snow White, Belle, Pocahontas, Mulan, Jasmine, and even Tiana from the new The Princess and the Frog movie. She also got other toys of the Disney Princesses.

From Yugi, she got outfits with several of the different princesses on it, and he also gave her a set of stuffed figures made to look like all the princesses.

From Yami, which also included Mitchell, Brighton, and Danny, Sophia got several figurine sets of the princesses.

Sophia was excited about all her gifts.


That night, Yugi and Yami lay in bed at the mansion, exhausted.

"Okay. I had no idea having a party for a six-year-old could be so exhausting." Yugi said.

Yami laughed. "Well, we had about ten six-year-olds, so it made it worse. My parents are already down for the count, and I have a feeling that your grandfather will be crashing before long if he hasn't already." Yami said.

"That's true." Yugi agreed.

"At least Sophia enjoyed the party." Yami said. He smirked before he added, "And I got a gift of my own."

Yugi glared at his boyfriend. "I still can't believe that you got me to put on that dress." Yugi said.

"I wanted to see what you'd look like in it." Yami said.

Yugi sighed. "Well, don't expect it ever again." Yugi said.

Yami smiled. "We'll see." Yami said.

Yugi had a feeling that Yami planned to buy something for him, and he didn't like the thought.


~November 14, Brighton's Birthday~

Yugi and Yami were setting up the picnic tables at the Kaibaland theme park.

"Thanks for helping me, Yugi." Yami said.

"Hey. I said that I'd help out. Besides, I don't mind." Yugi said.

For his birthday, Brighton had wanted to have a party at the Kaibaland theme park.

Yami had worked out a party arrangement with Seto, who had, oddly enough, been rather cooperative in it.

"I still don't know why Seto was so easy on letting us have the party here. I mean, he didn't even charge us for any of this." Yami said.

"Well, maybe Seto is having a change of heart and is being more open to family." Yugi said.

Yami gave Yugi a look which clearly said that was hard to believe.

"Or Joey might have threatened him with no sex for who knows how long if he didn't help out." Yugi said.

"Thank you." Yami said.

Yugi laughed. "Don't question it, and be thankful." Yugi said.

It wasn't long before the two had managed to get the area set up.

"Hey, Yugi. Yami." Joey said as he walked up to them, holding Maya.

"Hey, Joey." Yugi said.

"Where are all the kids?" Joey asked.

"They're on the rides." Yami answered.

"Uh, what about chaperons?" Joey asked.

"Joey, I'm not stupid. The parents of the kids stayed here this time, and they're helping keep the kids safe." Yami said.

"Oh. Why aren't you guys having fun?" Joey asked.

"Someone had to set up." Yugi answered.

Joey frowned. "Seto could have had some people who work here do that for you." Joey said.

"Joey, it's not that big of a deal. We didn't mind." Yugi said.

"You sure?" Joey asked.

"Yes. There's no need to threaten Seto's bedroom action." Yami said.

Joey blushed at that.

"Please, Joey. We're pretty sure that that's how you got him to let us do all this with Brighton's party." Yugi said.

Joey shrugged. "How else was I supposed to get him to do it?" Joey asked.

"That excuse is going to wear out one of these days." Yugi said.

"It works right now. Besides, I don't use it that often. Just when he's being an ass, and I knew he'd be one to you if I didn't step in. He should be more willing to help family, anyway." Joey said.

"You didn't have to do it, Joey, but I'm glad that you did." Yami said.

"No problem." Joey said.

"Well, I think that we have everything set up." Yugi said as he set the last of the gifts on the table.

"I guess so." Yami agreed. He glanced at his watch. "We still have about an hour and a half before everyone will be getting here from the rides." Yami said.

"Why don't you two go and have fun yourself." Joey asked.

"Someone has to stay here and keep an eye on everything." Yami replied.

"We'll do that."

The three turned to See Aknankanon, Amara, and Solomon walk up with Sophia and Danny.

"What's wrong?" Yami asked.

"Not one of us is as young as we used to be. We're wore out. You take them on the rides they still want to go on, and we'll stay here." Amara said.

"Well, okay." Yami said.

"Joey, if you want, we can take care of Maya so that you can go on some rides." Aknankanon said.

"You sure?" Joey asked.

"Of course! There's no reason for you to worry about that!" Amara said.

"Well, okay." Joey said, handing Maya and her baby bag over to Amara.

"Hey there, Maya." Amara said.

"Come on! Let's go!" Joey said, obviously excited at the thought of having a little fun.

Yugi and Yami followed Joey with Sophia and Danny.


After an hour, Yugi and Yami returned with Sophia and Danny. They wanted to be there early for when Brighton and his friends got there for the food.

"Have fun?" Amara asked.

"Yes, we did." Yami answered.

"I know that I did. I haven't had fun like that for a while." Joey said.

"Well, you'll be able to have more fun once Seth and Maya get older." Aknankanon said.

"I hope so." Joey said.

It wasn't long before all the kids got there along with the parents.

"Hey, Dad! This is great! Thanks!" Brighton said, having had a lot of fun with his friends.

"Your welcome, and be sure to thank Seto, too." Yami said.

"I will. I promise." Brighton said.

The group then sat down around the tables and started to eat the hamburgers and hot dogs that had been cooked on the grill.

Everyone ate and were rather happy.

Yami smiled. 'I'm glad that Brighton has enjoyed his birthday.' Yami thought.

After everyone had finished eating, the plates and cups were thrown away.

Brighton then opened his gifts.

From his friends, he got different action figures from shows that he and his friends were interested in at the time.

From his grandparents, he got a drum set, much to Yami's annoyance.

Yugi had gotten Brighton some Duel Monsters cards that would work well with his deck.

Yami, along with Mitchell, Sophia, and Danny, had gotten Brighton some books that he had wanted along with a few computer games.

All in all, Brighton enjoyed his birthday, too.


That night, Yugi and Yami were laying in bed.

"Well, Brighton had a great birthday." Yugi said.

"Yeah, although I have a feeling that Seto will be holding this over my head for a while." Yami said.

"It won't be as bad as you think." Yugi said.

"I don't know about that, Yugi." Yami said.

Yugi crawled over Yami, and leaned down and kissed him. When he broke the kiss, Yugi said, "How about I take your mind off that?"

Yami smirked. "Sure. Would you do one thing for me, though?" Yami asked.

"What?" Yugi asked.

Yami got up and went to the closet. "I bought this." Yami said. He showed Yugi a pink see-through nightgown with sequins on it.

Yugi's jaw dropped. "Yami, that for a woman!" Yugi said.

"I know." Yami said.

"No way." Yugi said.

"Come on. It won't be that bad, and it's the first time I've asked." Yami said.

Yugi bit his lip. 'I knew wearing that dress at Sophia's birthday would hurt.' Yugi thought. He sighed. "Fine. I'll do this one time." Yugi said. He stood up and took the nightgown, heading into the bathroom.

Yami smiled as he sat down on the bed. 'I wonder how Yugi will look.' Yami thought.

The mere thought of Yugi being in the nightgown made him hard.

A moment later, Yugi walked out in the nightgown. "Well?" Yugi asked.

Yami looked and his jaw dropped when he saw Yugi. To him, Yugi couldn't have looked better.

"I take it you like it." Yugi said.

"Very much." Yami said, eyeing Yugi lustfully.

Yugi walked over, making his hips sway purposefully. He pressed up against Yugi. "Well, if the purpose was to turn you on, it worked." Yugi said.

Yami then crushed their mouths together in a harsh kiss.

Yugi let out a moan.

It was long before Yami had Yugi pinned to the bed.

~Three Hours Later~

Yugi and Yami were laying in bed after three hours of lovemaking.

"That was incredible." Yugi said.

"Hmm. I agree." Yami said.

Yugi rolled over and looked at Yami. "I have to admit that that nightgown wasn't a bad idea." Yugi said.

Yami smirked. "Does that mean we can use it again?" Yami asked.

"Maybe." Yugi said before leaning in and kissing Yami.


Hope you liked it. I couldn't resist putting Yugi in a dress at Sophia's birthday party. I hadn't planned for that nightgown bit at the end, but I thought that it made things interesting.

Also, I do not own any of the Dinsey movies mentioned in this story nor the DIsney Princess line. Those all belong to Disney.

Next: Since I have it right at the holidays, I'm going to do some holiday chapters, so the next chapter will be at Thanksgiving.
