The Diamond Star
Chapter 23: Plans
Disclaimer: Yu-gi-oh is not mine, it never will be...sadly. Ksho (Who has recently died), Seraphim, Lillian, and Mary-Anne are mine.
Early the next morning, Mai and Mary-Anne crept into Seraphim's room. As the sun was peeking through the drapes, they sprang.
"What happened?!" they shouted in unison.
Seraphim's eyes shot open and she sat straight up in bed. "Wha? Where's the fire? What's going on?" Seraphim blinked groggily and looked at her bedside clock. "Argh...it's only six thirty!!! I only got three and a half hours of sleep you guys! What do you want?" she groaned, rolling over and burying her face in her pillow.
"What did you guys do last night?" asked Mai, jumping on the bed.
Seraphim yawned. "See for yourself," she mumbled proudly, showing them her hand.
"Wow!" Mary-Anne squealed. "It looks great on you! We knew it would didn't we?" She looked at Mai.
Mai made a "slitting throat" motion to Mary-Anne.
"You guys knew he was going to propose?" Seraphim asked blankly, waiting for the information to process through her tired mind.
"Um, surprise?" Mai grinned sheepishly. "Actually...all the other girls knew too."
Seraphim groaned and fell back onto her bed. "Wonderful, I can't even surprise you people anymore. I'm loosing my magic touch," she said dramatically.
"Gasp, we can't le that happen!" Mary-Anne exclaimed, putting a hand to her forehead, giggling.
"Let us see the ring. We only saw it in the store for a little while right before he bought it!" Mai grinned, scrambling over the bed to where Seraphim's hand lay.
Taking Seraphim's finger, Mai examined the ring. She and Mary-Anne "ooh"ed and "aah"ed at the beautiful diamonds. "I have to get Jou to buy me one of these," Mai commented.
"No kidding," Mary-Anne smiled.
"Aww!" Seraphim whined. "Guys! Can i please get some sleep? I promise you can gawk at the ring as soon as I wake up again!"
Grumbling, Mai and Mary-Anne left Seraphim's room saying they would be back in three hours and she better be ready to let them "Gawk" at her ring.
"Good night sleeping beauty," Mai added as an afterthought as she went out the door. Seraphim rolled over in response and fell asleep.
In three hours, just as promised, Mary-Anne and Mai dragged Seraphim out of bed and down the stairs. She had gotten dressed hurriedly in a plain t-shirt and shorts ensemble. But the ring still glittered on her finger.
Seto had also gotten up and was having a duel monsters match with Honda, who was loosing badly. When they saw Seraphim awake, everyone except Seto pounced on her, wanting to see the ring.
"Ah! Seto! Help me!" Seraphim exclaimed jokingly. "They're eating me alive!"
Seto stood up reluctantly. "I'm coming," he replied. Standing up, he strode over to the small group. By now, they were all sitting on or around the couch, inspecting Seraphim's hand.
Seto sat down beside his, now official, fiance. "Good morning," he smiled, kissing her.
"Morning," she giggled, kissing him back.
"So, when's the wedding?" asked Ryou, leaning back in his chair.
"Um, March...we hope," Seraphim grinned at Seto.
"Cool, do we get to come?" asked Honda.
"Of course, we wouldn't leave you guys out," Seto smirked good- naturedly.
"You'll all be part of the bridal party right?" Seraphim asked.
"Yeah!" all the girls jumped at the proposal immediately. The guys, one by one, mumbled or nodded their consent to Seraphim's request.
"Great!" Seraphim's head was already full of ideas.
"Come on!" Anzu exclaimed. "Details!"
"Yeah!" Shizuka and Lillian chorused.
"Um..." was all the say Seraphim had in the matter. The other girls dragged her off to have some quality "girl talk." Lillian and Anzu pounced before they even left the room.
"So, how did he propose?" asked Anzu.
"And did you guys do anything afterwards?" asked Lillian in a highly suggestive tone of voice and winking.
Seraphim blushed madly as the group of girls led her away, eager to hear what had happened the night before.
The guys, of course. Had immediately wanted the answer to Lillian's question. (They're guys, what can you expect? *sorry to all you guys*)
"So, didja guy do anything after you proposed, Huh Seto?" asked Jou, motioning to the leaving Seraphim.
"What?!" Seto exclaimed, appalled that Jou would ask him such a question.
"Yeah, don't hold out on us bro!" Honda added, enjoying Seto's obvious discomfort in the predicament.
"NO! We didn't do anything like that!" Seto replied.
"Oh come on!" Ryou urged. "I mean, if you guys had se-"
"We did NOT!" Seto thundered.
Yuugi and Mokuba laughed at the four guys arguing. Jou, Honda, and Ryou seemed hell bent on making Seto admit he had Seraphim had done SOMETHING last night other than kiss and hug.
"Awww, give the poor guy a break," Yuugi laughed. "It's not his fault Seraphim doesn't wanna." He then rolled on the floor with laughter.
Seto, on the other hand, was very outnumbered. "I...that's not! But we never...! I-! Never mind..." Seto slumped into a chair, defeated for the moment.
"Ah, don't worry Seto, we didn't mean anything. We know she loves ya," Jou slapped Seto's arm good-naturedly.
"Yeah Seto," Mokuba patted his brother's shoulder. "We're sure she wants to-"
Mokuba was cut off by Ryou. "How do you know what she wants to do??? And how do you know what we're talking about?"
"Hey, I'm eighteen. I know what goes on okay?" Mokuba scowled. "I'm not a little kid anymore."
Ryou sighed. "I feel so old!" he exclaimed.
Meanwhile, the girls were having a little chat with Seraphim.
"So, how did he propose?" asked Anzu again.
"Well, we were walking on the beach, with the stars and everything. And he got down on one knee, and I was all 'Oh my gosh!'. And then he asked me to marry him!" Seraphim grinned and giggled.
"So, did you guys do anything...after that?" asked Mai.
"You mean...like, have sex?" Seraphim asked confusedly.
"Always the innocent ones we have to explain to," Lillian sighed.
"Yes, that is what we mean Seraphim. Now spill it," Anzu said impatiently.
"No! We didn't do anything like that!" Seraphim exclaimed, shocked that they would think she'd do that with Seto before they got married.
"Well, lotsa wedding planning to do," Mai announced, hastily changing the subject.
"Yeah!" Anzu exclaimed. "Let's go downstairs and get the guys to help!"
Running down the stairs, they were just in time to stop another argument between Jou, Honda, Ryou, and Seto about whether or not Seto and Seraphim did anything "nasty" the previous night.
"Hey Seraphim!" Seto said loud enough for the other guys to know that the argument, for the time being, could not be held.
"Okay, we are going to start planning the wedding!" Seraphim smiled happily, hugging Seto.
"Right!" everyone gathered around the dining room table as the wedding of the century began it's making.
Right, and that would be chapter 23. wow! I rhymed! cool! ^-^ read and review! and you'll find out what happens at the wedding!
