"Hey Serenity," Mai said excitedly into the phone.
"Hi Mai!" Serenity replied into the telephone receiver. "What's up?"
"I'm having a sleepover tonight! Can you come?" Mai asked.
"Who's coming?" Serenity asked.
"Just Tea," Mai said. "No real event. Just for fun."
"Wouldn't miss it for the world!" Serenity assured. She wouldn't, either. Sleepovers at Mai's house were always the best ever.
"Great! Bring a sleeping bag, clothes, and of course your cosmetics and CDs," Mai reminded.
"Of course! See ya soon!" Serenity said quickly before slamming the phone down and running to pack up. If there was one thing that Mai officially stunk at, it was giving people advance notice.
**** "What's up?" Mai grinned.
"Nothin' much," Serenity replied, before dropping her bags to perform their special handshake, which involved hitting their fists one above the other with Mai's on top, then vice versa, then hitting their fists together, doing fast arm wrestling movements, and finally hitting themselves on the head. Joey had dared them to put the last part in, and after they had the first time, they continued to. No real reason. Sometimes it's just fun to be stupid.
"I'll get your sleeping bag," Mai said grabbing Serenity's sleeping bag and carrying it upstairs to her room. Serenity looked around the room. Small, but very cool. Star, cloud, and moon theme occupied all space except that of her superfluous poster collection and her bathroom walls, which her mom had refused to change from the floral print that Mai despised.
"Tea sat on the bed, choosing a color of nail polish. She greeted Serenity, and then said that she had chosen 'Vibrant Rose'.
Mai painted her nails and then gave Serenity a French manicure. Mai wanted to work at a salon someday, and she was definitely qualified. After all nails had either been manicured or pedicured, and Michelle Branch's album 'The Spirit Room' had been listened to at least five times straight, the real fun began.
Mai suggested that they get some frozen Capri Suns and popcorn. They did, and as they ate, Mai brought up the subject of dueling. Serenity, being new to the area, needed some help on this subject.
"I know Yugi Moto came in first place at the duelist kingdom, and my brother second, but who came in third place?" Serenity asked.
"Tough one. Some would say Seto Kaiba, but he didn't really participate in the tournament, or he probably would have been second place," said Mai.
"Oh, Seto," Serenity said, a smile forming on her lips. "Very smart. Even a little, (here Serenity paused for a second and giggled madly) cute?"
Mai spit the popcorn she had been chewing on across the room. "Cute! Seto Kaiba?!" She said flabbergasted. Serenity, now laughing madly and blushing deep crimson nodded.
"Okay, who gave Serenity sugar?" Mai asked, advancing on Tea.
"Nobody," said Tea honestly.
"Mai, look. I'm not sugar-high or anything. I just think Seto's cute," Serenity said, gasping for breath.
"Serenity, you have officially gone off the deep end," Mai said. "And to think of all the potential you had," she added, making very melodramatic gestures with her arms.
"Mai's kinda right, Serenity," said Tea.
"I wish you guys would take me seriously," Serenity said.
"You mean, you weren't kidding?" Mai said, now acting concerned.
"Not at all," Serenity said, now blushing even deeper than before.
"Okay Serenity," Tea said. "I'm just a little surprised."
"But if you want to get a guy, we'll be glad to teach you how," said Mai, rubbing her hand together. "This will be fun."
"Hi Mai!" Serenity replied into the telephone receiver. "What's up?"
