Serena danced along with the blaring country music of the club that Seto had taken her too. It wasn't really a club, more of just a popular hangout for the adults. They had a live band every night and mostly played country music, which was just the way that Serena liked it. Seto suddenly appeared behind her as he took her hand and pulled her toward the door.

"Are we going home?" she asked him.

"What?" Seto asked trying to make himself heard above the blaring music.

"Are we going home?" Serena repeated in his ear. Seto shook his head no in response as he led her outside to the deck at the back of the club. The deck was empty except for a few picnic benches. The deck looked out over the pier and the docks. It was quiet except for the occasional cry of a gull, horn of a ship, or the spray of the sea against the wooden deck. Seto pulled Serena over to the railing as he poured both of them glasses of champagne.

"Happy Birthday, Kanna." Seto said as he downed his glass. Serena took a sip of hers as she leaned out over the railing, listening to the muffled sounds of the band still playing inside. She watched as a ship pulled into the harbor and honked three times.

"Why do the ships always honk three times?" she asked out loud.

"It's part of a legend." Seto whispered in her ear. Serena whirled around to face him, startled by his closeness.

"A legend?" she asked breathless, turning back around to stare at the ship.

"Yeah," Seto answered as he set his glass down and leaned on the rough wood of the deck next to her. He put his right arm around her shoulders, resting most of his weight on his other arm, resting on the railing.

"It's the story of a local fisherman Arturo, who fell in love with a merchant's daughter, whose name was Katarina." Seto began, telling the story that he was told so long ago. "Arturo had to leave Katarina, but he promised that he would come back for her, and he would signal it was him by three long blasts of the ships horn. When Katarina's father heard about this, he set sail on the morning that Arturo was to come back. Arturo's ship honked the three times, just as Katarina's father's ship went out to sea. Arturo turned his ship around to go after her, shouting 'Katarina, Katarina.' Katarina, yelled back 'Arturo'. So Arturo dove into the icy water as Katarina did the same and they swan toward each other and…"

"Kissed?" Serena asked happily dreaming of the lover's reunion.

"No, they drowned." Seto said as Serena turned to give him a shocked look. "They never found each other."

"That's a terrible story!" Serena pouted looking back over at the sea.

"Yeah, but the legend is, is that they reunited under the water, right over there." Seto said indicating the spot where the water met the base of the cliff.

"And every time the spray of the ocean goes up, it's them." Seto said.

"Being in love." Serena supplied lost again in her day dream.

"Yeah," Seto replied staring at her. "For ever and ever." He said quietly. Serena turned to look at him, confused by his sudden lowering of his voice. They stared at each other for a moment listening to the soft strains of the love song the band was playing inside. Seto slowly turned around to face Serena as he put his other arm around her waist, pulling her close. Serena responded by putting her arms around his neck as they slowly danced with each other in time to the music.

'You're the one I want…

For all my life…

Cuz, I can't help…

Falling in love….

With…

You." The song played as Serena stopped dancing to gaze up into Seto's blue eyes.

"How old am I?" she asked suddenly.

Seto stared into her golden eyes a minute before answering. "Twenty nine." Serena gave a small smile as they continued to dance.

Once back home, Serena walked with Seto to his bedroom door. They stopped in front of it as Serena gave him a hug around the neck.

"Thank you for my birthday." She whispered as she turned to leave and head toward the couch. Seto reached out and caught her hand. Serena looked back, surprised as he drew her closer to him. He stared at her for a minute before slowly leaning in and kissing her lips. Serena's heart raced at his kiss as she returned it, pulling him closer to her. Seto broke the kiss and opened the door to his room, leading her inside. Once she was in his room, he turned to her and closed the door firmly with his foot behind him.
