Cat received a call from Seto the next morning.
"Hey Seto!" Cat said happily.
"I just wanted to let you know when I was planning on sending the limo over to pick you up for the business thing." Seto explained.
"Aren't you coming?" Cat asked.
"I was planning on meeting you there." Seto said. He wasn't sure if he could stand sitting next to her in the back of the limo without her bringing up the subject of how she felt about him. He still wasn't ready to admit to her and especially himself that he loved her. Mokuba and everyone else knew that he did. Cat was the only one that was still oblivious to that fact. Seto still told himself that he didn't love her, that she was just a friend.
"Oh" Cat replied sadly.
"What's wrong?" Seto asked concerned at the sad tone of her voice.
"Well the only reason I agreed to go with you is because I want to see you." Cat admitted. "I just wish you were going to be there to greet me in the car." Cat said softly.
"Well, if it means that much to you." Seto replied.
"Really?" Cat asked.
"Yeah," Seto replied. "I'll see you at seven." He said as he hung up the phone. He shook his head. 'I just can't seem to say no to her.' As he headed for his room. Mokuba heard him down the hall and ran out to him.
"Are you going out with Cat tonight?" He asked.
"Yeah," Seto replied.
"Cool," Mokuba exclaimed. "Are you going to marry her? I like her!" Mokuba asked.
Seto blushed at the thought of marrying Cat. He quickly slipped into his room to avoid his little brother's question and prepared for the business party. He groaned as he put on his tux. He hated these formal things. At least he would have Cat there to occupy his attention. He smiled to himself as he thought about how jealous the other guys would be as he walked in with the most beautiful girl as his girlfriend. He then shook his head to clear his thoughts. Where were these thoughts coming from? She was just a friend. 'Then why did you ask her to be your girlfriend?' he asked himself. The clock chimed six, interrupting his thoughts. He had probably better get going.

Yugi, Joey, and Tristan walked past Cat's room as she was observing her reflection in the mirror.
"Wow! Don't you look nice." Yugi commented. Joey and Tristan whistled. "You look great." Joey commented. Cat blushed as she smiled.
"Thanks, do you guys think that Seto will like it?" she asked nervously.
"He'd have to be blind not to." Tristan assured her.
"And if he tries anything, me, Tristan, and Yuge will make sure it doesn't happen again." Joey said.
Cat laughed. "I don't think your going to have a problem with that." She said as she heard a knock on the door.
"I'll get it" Yugi said as he went to answer the door. Yugi opened to door to reveal a surprisingly nervous looking Seto. "Cat ready?" he asked.
"Sure, she'll be down in just a minute, Kiaba." Yugi said as he invited the CEO in. Seto walked in and stood near the door. He noticed the looks he received from Tristan and Joey as they made their way past him and up the stairs. Seto looked up the stairs as his mouth dropped open. Cat was walking toward him in a beautiful red off the shoulders dress. There was a slit up to the middle of her thigh and her cyan hair was swept back and in an ornate bun.
"Hey, ready?" she asked as she put her hand on his arm. Seto snapped back to earth as she touched his arm. "Yeah," he answered as he escorted her to the limo.
