"Please Duke tell me everything!" Serena pleaded with Duke. She had reached him before he drove off and she showed him the piece of clothing. Duke was Seto's friend. Surely he would know and tell her. He just had to.

"Who is she? And what did she do to Seto?" Serena asked again, pleading him with her eyes to tell her.

Duke shifted from one foot to the other as he thought of a response. "Kanna, that's my underwear!" he said finally. Serena looked at him with a raised eyebrow and took a step back.

"What?"

"I mean, I don't wear it or anything." Duke assured her hastily. "It belongs to…a…um…girlfriend of mine." Duke lied.

"What about Serenity?" Serena asked.

" I strayed, Kaiba just doesn't want you to tell Serenity so he covering for me." Duke said as Seto appeared behind him.

"What the heck is going on here?" he asked hearing Duke's explanation of the underwear.

"The jig is up! I confess." Duke said throwing up in hands in surrender.

"The jig is up, I'm finally trying to tell her!" Seto said angrily.

"I just did." Duke said, trying to get Seto to play along. "I'm sorry, Kanna, do you hate me for cheating on her? I promise I won't ever do it again." Duke asked looking humble. Serena looked at him and gave him a hug.
"No, I forgive you. I don't hold it against you." Serena said squeezing him tight. After she let go of Duke she turned to Seto and ran into his arms.

"I'm sorry I didn't believe you." She whispered happily in his ear.

"No, why would I have the underwear in my truck if it wasn't…" Seto began again before Serena put her finger on his lips to silence him.

"No, don't try to cover up for him anymore. I won't tell." She said as she trotted off toward the boys. The two men watched her walk off then turned toward each other.

"Pretty good lie huh?" Duke praised himself proudly.

"Did all that just to protect your own skin because you faked a few pictures for me?" Seto asked annoyed.

"No," Duke said turning to him. "I did it to protect your skin. You belong with her!" Having said that Duke got into his car and drove home to get ready for the course opening.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Welcome to the grand opening of the Wonder's of the World miniature golf course!" the announcer said to the large crowd waiting for the park to be open.

"And here is the owner of the course, Mr. Seto Kaiba!" There was a loud cheer as he walked onto the small pavilion erected at the front of the park.

"Well, I guess I just want to say that there wouldn't be a Wonder's of the World golf course if it wasn't for the idea and support of a very special woman. And that's my Kanna. Kanna, would you come up her for a moment?" Serena blushed as she walked up the stairs and stood next to Seto. Seto turned to her.

"I love you, Kanna. And I want you to be with me always." Seto said sincerely as he faced her. Serena looked at him with a small  smile as she leaned in and kissed him, receiving a cheer from the crowd, especially from the boys and Duke.

"Let's play ball!" the announcer joked as the band on the pavilion started playing and the crown dispersed. Serena broke the kiss and started dancing along with the music when Seto stopped her. She looked up at him questioningly as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a box. He opened the box to reveal a small diamond ring. Serena looked at it in shock then turned her golden eyes to meet his blue ones.

"Well, you said you lost your old one at sea, so I just got you another one." Seto said in explanation as he slipped the ring on her finger. Serena took a moment to stare at the ring them turned to him and kissed him again. Seto wrapped his arms around her and returned her kiss.

After the opening was over and they were driving home, Serena was sitting in the front seat of the car, the boys were in the truck bed. Seto looked over to see her staring happily at the ring, now glinting in the sunlight on her finger. He smiled as he put his arm around her shoulders and Serena leaned on his shoulder sighing in contentment. When they drove up in their driveway they saw a black limo in the front yard.

"Who is that?" Yugi asked from the back seat.

"Maybe it's a rich relative we didn't know about." Yami suggested.

"Sure, it's Daddy Warbucks!" Joey said sarcastically as Seto parked the car, his heart sinking in his chest.

They all got out of the car as the back door of the limo opened to reveal Grant Staten, Serena's father.
