:Fall break is weird. I like it, but it's weird. I'm not stressed, I'm not tired, I'm just confused now. It feels like 2 weeks has gone by but I'm only 3 days into the real break. Ra, I have go through 14 days like this? This is weird! Anyway! I hope you enjoy this chapter, I found it amusing to write!:

Three of the four royals sat in a velvet cushioned chairs, their eyes either watching the one royal standing or looking at their stuffed animal. Mana had her legs crossed, an arm in her lap, an elbow on the arm rest, and a palm holding her chin. She found the current situation interesting, but it was odd when you thought about it. Atemu sat next to her, both arms on the arm rests, while one was propped up and allowing his chin to rest in his hand. He eyed the person standing with half interest, he would much rather be in his room at the moment, what time was it anyway? He wanted to make sure he wasn't late to go to the cafeteria, he had told Yugi that he would be there and Mana had told Anzu that she would be as well, didn't she remember that?

Malik was the only one who wasn't looking bored as he sat in his own chair, the Winged Dragon of Ra plush in his lap as he played with it. He had been told to meet up there, but he had no clue why, so he had brought his doll just in case he got bored. He loved it so much, it was so cute and fluffy! Plus it was given to him by Bakura, so why wouldn't he love it? He turned his eyes away from his plush, looking to Seto, who was pacing back and forth, staring holes into the floorboard.

"So, why are we here?" Malik spoke, deciding to break the silence in the room. Seto stopped his pacing, moving his eyes to Malik's. Mana and Atemu looked to each other, already having a slight idea of why they would be called together like this. It was either something based on the next event, or they were going to get a lecture. The two of them hoped it wouldn't take too long, although Atemu thought that Mana forgot her promise to Anzu, she didn't. She was just finding the situation interesting, it was the first time Seto had ever paced while waiting. Did he even remember that they were there before Malik spoke?

"There are two reasons." Seto replied, taking a deep breath before speaking. "One is related to this school and the other is..." He trailed off, what would he say? It was embarrassing to even mention this to the others. Why did he even call them up like this? He could have just talked to them about the next event tomorrow, but that was another event on it's own, it would have been disruptive. But why did he want to talk to them about...

"The one related to the school, I would have to assume..." Atemu said, trying to sound interested in the conversation. "Has something to do with the next event?" Seto nodded in response, it would be obvious what the school reason was about. But would they question what the other reason was? Malik made Ra bounce on his lap, not interested really at all in what was going on.

"Lets hear it then." Mana spoke, uncrossing her legs and folding her hands in her lap, looking like a proper lady. "Atemu and I have somewhere to be soon, so it would benefit us greatly if we could speed up this process." Malik let out a noise that sounded like a restrained laugh. Atemu and Mana turned their eyes to their friend in response.

"You sound so stiff, Mana." Malik commented, making the princess flush in embarrassment. "Why're you acting so proper all of a sudden?" Atemu rolled his eyes and cast them to the side.

"Because Seto likes it when we act proper and it lets us get out of here faster."

"Oh, I get it!"

"Yeah, so." Atemu returned his eyes to his adviser. "Tell us about the event and this..." He made a rolling gesture with his hand. "Other thing you mentioned." Seto gulped, feeling himself become nervous about the other thing. Calm down, they haven't made you talk about it yet. Just bring up the other event.

"The next event." Seto crossed his arms behind his back. "Has been moved to Monday instead of Wednesday due to another event taking place, and the event has already been decided to make the day go by quicker. It is said to be quite a large one, being second to last that is." All of them felt a slight, sudden sadness enter them at that knowledge, second to last event, they didn't have much time left there. Less time with the person they liked...Atemu cleared his throat to stop the hurtful thoughts entering his friends, and of course, his own mind.

"What is this other event?" Atemu asked, hoping to clear the sad thoughts out of everyone's minds. Thankfully, it did. The depressing atmosphere cleared within seconds, allowing everyone to think clearly again. Seto allowed a soft smile to come onto his face, memories of the past appearing as he began to speak.

"The other event is something we all know quite well," Seto spoke, the smile refusing to leave his face as he looked at each of his friends. "The Red Nile is performing next weekend, Tuesday through Friday the Drama classroom will be practicing all day. It would be disruptive to have an event in the middle of their rehearsal week." Malik lifted his eyes, smiling brightly at the news, he looked to the royal siblings, a look of surprise and happiness on their face. The Red Nile! How could they forget? Mana and Atemu had been present at one of their practices before!

The prince felt a sudden flush go over his face, the very first time he had gone to a practice he had, not only sang with Yugi, but had made the bet with Yugi. And when he had gone to another practice he had seen the boy in a lovely dress, was that his play attire? He simply had to go to the act when it was performed.

"We will be attending," Mana rose an eyebrow. "Right?" Seto chuckled at that, did she really think that the four of them would miss such a memory?

"But of course." Seto announced. "The principal has already promised that we will have some of the best seats in the area, both Saturday and Sunday, so no worries over that fact." This was something to look forward to, Malik thought looking down at his plush. Atemu lowered his smile down, wanting to get serious once again. He was happy, but him and his sister had limited time, they couldn't stay here forever, they had somewhere to be.

"Do we have any idea of what the next event is?" Atemu questioned, wanting to move on now. Seto nodded, his smile dropping and turning around and walking to a corner of the room. He picked up four silver briefcases, they weren't too big, but they weren't too small either. Mana was fairly surprised that Seto could carry all four by himself. He walked forward, placing a case near each of their chairs and walking back to the center of the room with his own case. Malik placed Ra between his thigh and the side of the chair, picking up the case and placing his case on his lap. He opened it, furrowing his eyebrows at what was inside.

"This is our hint to what the next event is," Seto explained, watching as the royal siblings began to pick up and open their own cases. "We have also been given a video to watch to teach us about this, he says we should have an idea of what to do, due to our ancient history." Atemu reached into the case, pulling out a card, the back of it a deep brown while in the center of the color was a dark swirl. He eyed the picture on the other side, it was a brown ball with green hands and feet, with two giant eyes staring at him. The top of the card from what he could see was the name of it; A Kuriboh.

"These look like the Monster Tablets from the Museum." Malik announced, making the others look at him and raise an eyebrow. They had already done their teasing when he had come back with the Ra plush, and Seto had freaked out when he had seen the fake Millennium Rod, but after they had explained what it was, he calmed down. Seto sighed at the comment.

"You should know them from our history, not just from your little love date with..." Seto stopped for a brief moment. "What was his name?" Atemu and Mana opened their mouth to answer before Malik stopped them.

"Bakura." Malik growled, as if angered that he didn't remember. "Ba. Ku. Ra." Seto gulped, okay remembering the name now. Don't piss off Malik...He coughed into his hand, wanting to stop his frightened heart.

"Anyway..." He resumed. "This is a game called Duel Monsters, we are required to make decks from these cards and to await Monday for what we are to do with them." Mana rose a card out of her own case, pulling out a monster that resembled the one Atemu had, only this one had wings and was named Winged Kuriboh. She giggled as she looked at it.

"These are kind of cute." Mana commented, raising her card to her brother to look at. He smiled at her, raising a card from his case.

"They might be cute, but they're also..." He pulled out a card and thrust it out to show her the face of it. "Very ugly!" She jerked back slightly, scared for a moment by the sudden movement. What the heck was that thing? It looked like a blob made of green glop!

"Are you showing her the King of The Swamp?"

"Yeah, how'd you know?"

"I have it too, it's ugly..."

"We will watch the video after everyone has returned to the dorm tomorrow." Seto told the group. "After that we shall see what we can make out of this selection, I think this will prove to be an interesting event." Atemu shrugged, it might, it might not. He placed the ugly card back in his case, closing it and placing it next to his feet. The others did the same. He rose his eyes back to his adviser.

"Okay, there was one more thing." Atemu narrowed his eyes. "Right?" Seto took a deep breath, feeling his three friends gaze on him. Okay, don't be so nervous about this. Just ask it, and you'll be fine!

"Yes." He breathed out. "I have a question, for all of you." Malik grabbed Ra, holding it close to him and looking back to Seto. A question? For all of them? Well now, he never thought he'd see the day. Atemu and Mana nodded, waiting patiently for him to ask. This was new and surprising, but might as well see what it is before they freak out.

"What happens on..." Seto bit his lip, feeling his face flush. He turned his head, not wanting to look at the group. "On a date?" Atemu and Mana's eyes widened, blinking in shock as they tried to process Seto's words. Malik smiled brightly, ah ha! So he's not the only one! Haha!

"What happens on a date?" Atemu spoke, wanting to make sure he heard correctly. Seto nodded, moving his head back around, his cheeks dusted with a pink color.

"You go somewhere, you eat, you go home." Malik explained, tossing Ra up in the air and catching it. "It's pretty simple." Seto glared at him, how could he forget that Malik went on a date? He went on it yesterday and he had teased him about it! And he had scared the crap out of you about the Millennium Rod.

"Hey, be nice." Mana giggled. "But that pretty much is all that happens." She hadn't been on a real date, but it sounded somewhat the same. It doesn't sound that hard to go on a date, but maybe it will be when she goes on one?

"I would say that it would be something like that." Atemu agreed. "You spend time with the one you love, that's all you need to do in order to have a good date, I guess." He didn't know about dates either, but they couldn't be that hard to know. You just went places and tried to make the one you love happy, right? Seto bit his lip, go somewhere, eat, and go home? Wait...

"Love?" Seto spoke, his voice barely stable. Atemu chuckled, nodding at his adviser's response.

"Don't you love Joey?" Seto's eyes widened, his cheeks flushing red.

"D-Don't be ridiculous!" Seto gasped out, crossing his arms like a child. "We haven't even-"

"Even what?" Malik smirked. "You've probably been alone with your lover more than we have with ours."

"Actually, I think we're all pretty even."

"Maybe, but brother I think you might be in the lead in that case."

"Perhaps, but-"

"We are not lovers!" Seto spoke quickly. "I just..." Atemu rolled his eyes.

"Don't get so bothered by it." He said, sighing. "We referred to them as our lovers because it's easier, what else should we say? Our interests? Sounds a little odd when you say it like that."

"What about our crushes?"

"Mine isn't a crush, believe me, Malik."

"I can believe it." Malik laughed, smiles forming on the royal siblings faces as they talked. Seto took a deep breath, inhaling through his nose and exhaling through his mouth.

"So, I have nothing to worry about?" Seto questioned. The other three shook their heads.

"Not really, have you already planned where you're going to go?" Malik asked, Seto shook his head.

"No, I was going to ask him." Seto responded, he wanted Joey to enjoy himself so...Mana thought for a moment.

"What about transportation?"

"I have that taken care of." Atemu rose an eyebrow, why would he have that taken care of but not anything else?
"Really?" Atemu said, somewhat amused. "How are you getting around then?" Seto shrugged, looking to the side like what he was about to say wasn't that big of a deal.

"A limo."

"What?

()()()()()()()()

"Rawr!" Joey growled, thrusting Zorc into Anzu's face as she giggled and backed up slightly. Yugi and Bakura laughed at the action, the four of them in their regular spots at the breakfast table. Bakura reached over for his plush, grabbing at it.

"Alright." He laughed. "Give me that." He placed it on the table, poking at its nose before he picked up a piece of toast and bit into it. His friends laughed at this, finding it funny to see Bakura with a toy. When Yugi and Joey had seen the toy, they had found it funny and told Bakura to bring it to breakfast, but when they had seen the Millennium Ring, they were awestruck by it, saying it looked exactly like the real thing. He had worn it, saying he didn't care if he got in trouble by wearing the ring during school. It was a gift, he was going to wear it dammit!

"Hey, do you think those two are going to come?" Joey questioned, his laughter calming down as he looked around for two certain people. Anzu and Yugi shrugged, not knowing if they would or not.

"They promised they would." Anzu told him, feeling slightly sad at the thought of the siblings not coming to see them. It had been fun when they had visited, and they had promised. Yugi looked to Anzu, trying not to show that even he was going to be sad if they didn't come. It was funny how the prince would blush whenever he did something, and since he was a friend now, he wouldn't mind seeing him again. He could deal with him being a friend now, as long as he didn't get touchy feely with him again, but the other day he could have sworn he wasn't even thinking of touching him, he was probably thinking of how to cool the hell down.

"They better come." Yugi mumbled, grabbing at the biscuit on his plate and biting into it, allowing the jam from inside of it to spread to the sides of it. Great, now he was going to get dirty because sticky stuff won't stay in bread! Bakura rose an eyebrow and smirked as he looked at his small friend.

"Oh?" Bakura began to tease. "Could it be that our little Yugi is missing a certain prince?" Anzu and Joey let out a small chuckle at this, while Yugi felt a line of red spread amongst his face. He turned his face to his silver haired friend, he pouted, knowing he couldn't hide his blushing face.

"Don't be stupid." Yugi spat out. "So what if I'm missing him? I can't miss a friend?" Joey began to laugh.

"A friend who wants your little butt in his bed."

"Hey! You wanted my butt too, you know."

"And?"

"So you shouldn't be talking!" Yugi bit into his biscuit harshly, making the jam spread to the left side of his cheek. He felt the substance get stuck on his face, oh great. He placed his biscuit down, reaching down to his napkin, not noticing how his friends began to look behind him and smile.

Yugi picked up the napkin, until he felt a warm hand envelop his and push the napkin back down to the table. He gasped in surprise, beginning to open his mouth to speak before he felt something wet go across his cheek, ridding it of the sweet jam. He blushed, his face becoming hot as he backed up slightly. Yugi looked up, seeing a certain prince lick his lips and wink at him.

"Good morning, Yugi." Atemu greeted, giving a squeeze to Yugi's hand before releasing it and smiling down at him. Yugi blushed, raising a hand to his slightly wet cheek and looking away.

"G-Good morning..." Yugi mumbled back, feeling his heart begin to pound. He should be mad, but he wasn't. He was slightly irritated by the fact he had scared him, but other than that he wasn't angered at all. Great, that's just great! He rose his eyes to his friends, noticing Mana walk up beside Anzu and grab a seat next to her, smiling and beginning to talk to her.

"What took you so long anyway?" Yugi whispered, removing his hand from his face and hearing Atemu pull a chair up next to him. The royal let out a chuckle, turning his crimson eyes to him.

"Did you miss me?" Atemu purred out, making Yugi look at him with his words. The small boy felt himself blush more, glaring at the royal.

"Not a chance." He responded, crossing his arms and looking away. Bakura rolled his eyes, leaning over to whisper in the royal's ear.

"He missed you." Bakura told the prince, making him smile and let out a laugh as Yugi turned around to glare at his friend.

"I heard that!"

"Good."

"Are you causing trouble, Bakura?" A voice called from behind. Bakura turned his head around, seeing Malik pull up a chair with a milk carton in his hand. Where did he come from and how did a royal know where to get milk?

"Maybe..." Bakura rose an eyebrow, looking at the milk in the royal's hand. "Where the hell did you get milk?" Malik opened the carton, placing a straw inside it and taking a drink before he responded.

"Some girl gave it to me when I walked in." Malik told him, eying the milk weirdly. "It tastes sweet and like strawberry, how do they put a strawberry in here?"

"I think it's some kind of weird flavor thing." Mana told him from the other side of the table, an elbow on the top of it while the other arm was hidden under it. Malik nodded in response, looking at Bakura and raising an eyebrow. He had turned away and wasn't looking at him.

"What's wrong?" Malik questioned, wondering why Bakura wasn't looking at him. Bakura narrowed his eyes, refusing to turn back around. He grabbed Zorc, feeling somewhat glad that Malik didn't see him and placed it in his lap, turning his full body away from the blond royal. Atemu rose an eyebrow, seeing Zorc and trying not to smile. So, Malik had given him a toy too, huh?

"I'm going to assume that you are jealous, correct?" Atemu spoke, loud enough for the whole table to hear. Bakura's face turned bright red, agreeing with his statement with his facial expression. Malik's own face began to brighten, he's jealous? He smiled, reaching into his own lap and pulling out Ra.

"Ra says not to worry." Malik began to speak in a strange voice, making Bakura turn his head around to look at the plush doll. "Ra says Malik only likes you." Bakura's heart began to pound, he was acting cute...He knew his face was still red, but oh well...He reached into his lap, grabbing Zorc and turning his entire body around to Malik. He placed Zorc in front of Ra.

"Zorc says for you not to talk like that anymore." Bakura spoke, making his own voice sound strange. Malik laughed, keeping his voice weird as they played with the animals.

"Ra says I'll stop talking like this when you stop talking like that."

"Zorc says I can do what I want."

"Ra says-"

"Joey says you guys are giving him diabetes from all the damn flirting." Joey called out from his side of the table, making the group laugh while forcing the little plush couple to stop and blush more. Anzu giggled, turning to Joey and making a sad face.

"Oh come on, Joey." Anzu pouted. "They were being cute, why couldn't you let us continue watching?"

"I came here to talk with my friends and to eat," Joey commented, he made a gesture at Bakura and Malik. "I didn't come here to watch Beauty and the Beast have a little stuffed toy argument." Yugi rose an eyebrow and let out a chuckle as he looked over at Bakura and Malik.

"Who's Beauty?" Yugi questioned. Atemu looked at them as well, narrowing his eyes together and humming as if he was trying to focus.

"Malik, I would assume." Atemu responded. "After all, he looks like he combs his hair."

"Bakura does look like a beast."

"Hey!" Bakura laughed and smirked in Yugi's direction. "Beasts are sexy, thank you very much."

"I never said they weren't." Yugi smirked back, winking and making Malik and Atemu look at him a confused gaze.

"There you go again, Yugi." Bakura purred. "Flirting with me in front of the royals? How inappropriate." Anzu rolled her eyes, making a disgusted face in Mana's direction, making the princess giggle in response. Here they go again...

"I think they'll be okay with it." Yugi chuckled. "I can't hold it back, flirting with you is a second nature to me." Atemu narrowed his eyes at Bakura, while Malik narrowed his at Yugi. The two of them knew that they didn't like each other that way, but still...

"If flirting with me is your second nature?" Bakura questioned. "Then what is your first?" Yugi darted his eyes to Atemu, making him turn to him due to a natural instinct, he smirked.

"I don't know." Yugi spoke innocently. "Why don't you answer his question, Atemu?" He purred, looking to the prince directly in his eyes as he winked at the him, giving him a taste of his own medicine. Atemu's eyes widened, his heart now beginning to race, his mouth became as dry as desert, oh Ra. Malik's eyes widened, now beginning to see the humor in what was going on and began to laugh, making the entire table, excluding Atemu, laugh with him.

"T-That isn't funny." Atemu uttered out, his body flushed from what had happened. Yugi knew how he felt, that was not funny. He still hadn't gotten used to Yugi saying his name, and when he said it like that and gave him that kind of look, how else was he supposed to act?! The boy was going to kill him!

"Calm down." Yugi said, patting the prince on the back. Atemu felt his face becoming brighter, he told you to calm down, so do it! Joey laughed, pointing at the prince.

"I think you gave the poor guy a boner." Joey commented, making Atemu hide his face in response. Yugi blinked in shock, not knowing if he should look under the table or just take Atemu's action as a 'Yes' to Joey's statement. He began to blush as well, he had forgotten for a moment that Atemu liked him that way. How did he forget? He had licked your damn cheek and you forget that he likes you? Good job.

"Does brother need a cold shower?" Mana cooed out, making Anzu giggle next to her. Atemu uncovered his face, glaring at her and mouthing 'I hate you' to her.

"This table is quite lively..." A cold voice resounded from behind Joey. The group looked to the voice, making the royals flinch slightly as they noticed who it was. Were they in trouble?

"H-hey Seto." Malik waved, placing Ra in his lap and gulping. He sounded slightly angry, he was fine this morning! What was wrong with him? Seto nodded, acknowledging the fact that he was there. Joey looked behind himself, seeing the adviser behind him. He narrowed his eyes and rose an eyebrow.

"Why's this guy here?" Joey questioned, pointing up at the royal. Seto let out a slight chuckle, creeping out the blonde in front of him.

"Did you forget?" Seto whispered, only for Joey to hear. Joey blinked in confusion, forget what? The royal turned his eyes to the entire table, looking at each of them. It was amusing, every one of them were sitting in pairs. Mana was next to Anzu, Atemu was next to Yugi, Malik was next to Bakura. How sweet.

"I hope you don't mind, but..." Seto returned his eyes to Joey, reaching his hand down and grabbing his hand, dragging him out of his seat. Joey let out a yell in response, feeling Seto wrap an arm around his waist and tighten his hold on his hand, as if he was scared that Joey was going to run away. Seto narrowed his eyes at the table of friends.

"I'll be taking this."

:Seto, you're as over dramatic in my fanfic as you are in the anime. In the anime, when he draws a card it's like; Oh watch me do my hand gesture! Whoosh whoosh, I draw!- Oh wait it's just a crappy spell card. Actually, that's almost everyone in the Yugioh series, isn't it? Anyway! I hope you liked this chapter! Please review!:
