"Wait! Wait!" Serena protested loudly as Seto came toward her with a grin on his face.
"Oh come on! You jumped my bones the night we first met!" Seto said relishing the look that covered her face.
"We did it on the first date!" Serena said out loud more to herself than Seto as she tried to separate herself from him, by covering herself with the covers.
"Wasn't a first date really, I mean we were in the parking lot of the Seven Eleven!" he lied knowing it would make her blanch in horror.
"I'm a slut!" She muttered in disgrace as she stared at the door temporarily ignoring Seto.
'What?" he questioned. Serena shook her head as she muttered "nothing". She continued to stare at the door till Seto brought the attention back to himself by taking off his shirt. Despite herself, Serena found herself admiring his fairly muscular body. She soon snapped out of her reverie as Seto sat on the bed and leaned toward her. Serena pulled as far away from him as possible, squeezing her back against the head board of the bed.
'What? No boom boom?" Seto asked figuring she had had enough for tonight. "I guess you want to go right to bed and skip the fun stuff, huh?" Serena gave a little nod as Seto pulled back and went to the door.
"Yes, thank you. No boom boom." She sighed as Seto opened the bedroom door.
"Honey," he said as Serena gave him a curious look. "Couch" he said simply indicating the dilapidated looking sofa.
"What?" Serena asked with a confused look.
"Couch," he repeated not being able to resist giving her one last bit of revenge for the day. "You see the reason your back is so bad, is because the bed it too soft for you." Seto explained as Serena walked and lay down on the sofa. She gave him one last glaring look before turning over on her back. Seto stood in the doorway of his bedroom smiling in delight at her discomfort before shutting the door. Serena lay on her back as she stared dismally at the ceiling wondering how her life could get any worse. It then began to rain outside. Unfortunately for Serena it did get worse. The ceiling leaked. Serena looked at her refection in the mirror that was hanging on the wall. She saw her pitiful expression as she tried to ignore the droplets of water falling on her from the ceiling. A crash of thunder sounded startling her as she curled up on the couch.
"I'm a short, fat, slut." She whined to herself as she slowly drifted off to sleep.
Serena had a dream that night of a party. She was dressed in a black dress that looked to be at the height of fashion. A few men in tuxedoes as well as a few other women dressed in dresses similar to hers milled around the grand ballroom. Soft piano music played in the background as she leaned on the piano singing along with the music. Suddenly the clock struck twelve. The strains of the New Years song filled her ears as a handsome young man asked her to dance. Pieces of confetti filled the air as Serena realized where she was. It was a New Years Day party. She smiled in her sleep as a sprinkle of water hit her face. She woke up with a start remembering where she was as Seto's face filled her view. She scowled at him as he nudged her shoulder.
"Up, up, up." He commanded as he left the room. "You need to make the boys lunches for school."
"I don't care if they go to school." Serena whined groggily as she turned over to go back to her wonderful dream of handsome men and pretty dresses.
"Okay." Seto said shrugging his shoulders. "They can just stay with you all day." He commented knowing that would get her moving. Serena turned back and flashed him a panicked gaze as she instantly got up. A few minutes later she was dressed in an old bathrobe making sandwiches as fast as she could while the bus honked loudly outside.
"Hurry up, mom!" Yugi said as she got out more bread. She hurriedly smeared jelly over one side of the bread which tore under the harsh treatment. She then applied peanut butter to the other side then stuffed it in a bag. She grabbed a handful of M&M's and threw them in the brown bag.
"Twin, oh twin!" she called as she sealed the bag.
"She means you." Seto told Yami in a laughing way. He then secretly handed him a wad of money.
"Here, I doubt you guys will want to eat what she made." He whispered as Yami grinned. Yami went over to Serena to grab his so called lunch.
"Thanks mom, your doing a great job!" he lied as he grabbed the bag and left. Serena gave him a quick thumbs up and went back to work.
'Wait, isn't he the actor one?' she questioned to herself as she watched the bus finally pull away.
"Well, I'm off to work, honey." Seto said placing his briefcase by the door and turning toward her. "Some one needs to be the bread winner of the family. Oh… I figured you'd forgot so I made it for you myself." Seto said as he dug around in his pockets as Serena watched curiously. "Your list… of daily chores." He pronounced as he drew of a sheet of paper filled with chores. He pushed it into her hands and quickly left the house.
"Seto!" she called after him as he hummed happily to his truck.
"Zippity doo da zippity day, my oh my I got a wonderful slave." He sang as he started up the truck and drove off.
Serena slowly wandered to the bathroom and looked at her reflection in the dirty mirror. She looked in the sink and gave a shriek of surprise which was quickly followed by a small sigh when she realized it was the boy's turtle. She then set about the house to do the chores that were expected of her, not knowing how terrible her day was going to turn out.
