"Hey, she has been in there over an hour! What did you guys get her?" Seto asked Joey as he went to sit down on the couch with the rest of his brothers.
"Dresses." He responded.
"The right sizes, right?" Seto persisted.
"You didn't say sizes all you said was get some ugly dresses." Joey answered as Seto gave him a push toward the couch.
"Come on guys! Don't ruin this ok?" Seto asked. He turned around just as Serena appeared in the doorway of the bathroom wearing a hugely oversized frock.
Serena glared at Seto as she walked out of the bathroom.
"This garment can not possibly be a part of my wardrobe!" she said as she pointed at the oversized dress she was wearing. "Let us forget for a moment, that it is a rag that happens to be twelve sizes too large." She complained angrily.
Seto rubbed the back of his neck. "It's…It's not that bad!" he tried to cover-up his little oversight.
"Not that bad!" she said emphasizing each word. Serena walked in front of the mirror and gazed in horror at her reflection. Her normally well kept hair was still tousled although she had tried to brush it out. She still had smudges of dirt on her cheeks and nose.
"Well, come on, I mean you have lost a lot of weight! You used to be like a balloon!" Seto lied to cover up the fact that the dress was from the maternity side of the department store.
"Was I also shorter?" Serena asked looking at the length of the dress, which barely went past her thighs.
"Yes…you had a … bad back! You walked kinda hunched over." Seto said as he put his hand on her back and demonstrated how she supposedly used to walk.
"I was short and fast?" Serena asked dismally as she again looked at herself in the mirror.
"Look, I'm sure you have a million questions. You've been through hell. So let's take a minute and meet the boys!" Seto said as he led her over to the couch were the boys were watching with humor.
"Now over here in the middle we had the twins Yami and Yugi. He likes to invent things." Seto said indicating Yugi.
"Twins?" Serena asked looking at them.
"Yeah obviously they aren't identical!" he said sarcastically.
"I look like crap!" Yami said.
"Who asked you idiot!" Yugi said as he gave Yami a small slap. This started a
wrestling match as Serena put her hands on her temples and began to massage
them. Seto noticed her annoyance.
'Whoa, whoa guys!" he said snapping the two wrestlers back to the current situation.
"Yugi and I get along real well mom. My twin brother and I are best friends!" Yami said.
"He's the actor in the family!" Seto explained as he turned to Joey.
"Next we have the big guy!" Seto said slapping Joey on the back. "Come on Kanna, give it a try. What's his name?"
Serena looked at Joey trying to think that if she had a boy, what she would name him. "Roy" she guessed.
"Roy?" Seto asked.
"Roy?" the other three mouthed at each other. Then tried hard to hide their smirks at her awful choice of a name.
"No, Joey! Sweet Joey!" Seto said right as Joey turned the page of the magazine he was looking at.
"Now she has a body!" he yelled as Yami grabbed the magazine and ran out of the room. He was followed closely by Joey, Yugi and Mokuba. Seto picked up Mokuba as he ran past and turned to Serena.
"Well, I was hoping that you would remember this little guy." He said.
"Hi, mom, my name's Mokuba." He said in a weird sounding voice. Serena looked at him strangely.
"Is he okay?" she asked.
"He just likes to make his voice sound weird." He explained.
"I think it sounds cool." Mokuba said.
"Give your mom a kiss." Seto said as Mokuba began to struggle wildly in his arms and scream no. Seto set him down and he ran off to join his brothers.
"Aww, their great kids huh?" Seto said as Serena stared in annoyance at him.
'Do they have a problem with their glands?" She asked as she lay down on the couch.
"Hey guys, cool it! Mom's home." Seto ordered. Joey stuck his head down from the upstairs.
"It's not us dad. It's Roy!" he said.
"There are so many of them." Serena complained as Seto took a seat on the edge of the piano that was in the living room.
"Well, you always had you heart set on six so… we'll just keep trying." He said as he rubbed his foot across her stomach. Serena glared at him as she shoved his foot off her stomach.
"Dad, they're making me drink blood!" Mokuba yelled as he was quickly dragged back upstairs by Joey. Seto laughed as Serena looked at them again.
"They don't look anything like me." She observed.
"Well, they do take after your mother; let's just hope they don't grow up to be drunkards too." He said.
Serena sat up from her position on the couch. "My mother's an alcoholic!" she demanded.
"Was, it was horrible."
"You mean she's…?" she asked as her voice dropped off. Seto nodded his head.
"What about my father?" she asked urgently.
"Oh, he's alive and well, he hasn't been due for parole in what four months?" Seto said.
"Oh man! I don't want to hear anymore!" Serena wailed as she buried her face in the couch.
"Now come on, if you want to get your memory back, the doctor said you need to get back to doing what you normally do." Seto said standing her on her feet.
Serena looked at him "What is it I normally do?" she said almost afraid to ask.
