All right, #3! This is getting really cool. I just write a chapter every day, so keep coming back, people! So where did we leave off? Oh, yeah Joey had just said "What the hell?!?" and Seto Kaiba had announced he was serenity's date. Oooh, this should be good. I must warn you, I'm ready to put some kissing in here! But which couple should it be? I love the Mia/Joey thing, because of that episode where he get's knocked out. "The real actions there, resting" *dreamy eyes*

Time for story!

Chapter #3

Every ones jaws dropped, and Serenity was kind of glad for the change. For once, she thought, I'm getting attention, not because I'm doing everything right, but doing something different. She liked it, seeing her brother squirm uncomfortably, after all his rules, and she could see, Seto liked it too.

Te'a, the forever peace maker, after being stunned for a couple seconds, stepped forward, and asked him to goin their newly started rummy game. Seto, of course, refused, so slowly (very slowly) the gang went back into the living room, and left the new couple alone [I don't know about anybody else, but I am one of those people who thinks that little Mokuba probably has a cute crush on Te'a, so I'm figuring he followed her].

"Wow.um" Serenity wasn't quite sure what to say, "Um.thanks for coming, I was starting to think you wouldn't show" Man, this was awkward, what could she have been thinking, inviting him?

"I only came to piss off your brother" Seto allowed himself a slight smile "you wrote your letter in pencil"

"What does that have to do with anything" and why would he even remember a thing like that?

Seto crossed his arms across his chest, and leaned hotily [whichever way you want to take that, that's the was I mean it.] against the door, "when people write in pencil" he explained "it's easier to gauge their emotions behind their writing, a little darker here, lighter over here.You obviously wrote that last part in an effort to shock your brother, and I couldn't miss that."

Cute, and smart, she could deal with that.

"Hmmm, would you like some eggnog, that is, if Joey hasn't drunk it all, already" Still holding the flowers, she, with Seto at her side, glided into the living room. She felt like a Queen, newly crowned, no one would dare contradict her decisions until she'd been Queen for a while. She was safe. Safe, walking next to Seto Kaiba. Safe from over protective rules, and safe from he brother underestimating her. Kaiba was rich, handsome, intelligent, and understanding. They were both working for a common goal: Freak out her brother.

Serenity pretended she couldn't see all the stares they got, on their way to the kitchen, "I'd better put these in some water" In the kitchen, she got two glasses and a vase out of the cabinet. After she put the flowers in the vase, and watered them, she turned back to Seto.

"Okay, soda or eggnog?"

"A coke would be fine." He said matter-of-fact "I wouldn't want to deprive your brother."

Serenity had no idea why this was so funny. one minute they're standing there, with empty glasses, the next they're bursting out laughing. And Seto could really laugh, and not his usual evil laugh, either. His laugh was quiet, but strangely manly. Serenity had to steady herself, by holding onto Seto's arm.

Realizing what she had done, they both stopped laughing, and stared at each other. Something sparked inside them. Just as though there were magnets between them, they were drawn together. Seto slid his arms around her waist, and kissed her. Serenity's eyes opened wide in surprise. This is not what she had expected.

Outside the kitchen, peeking through a crack in the door, Joey gasped. He and Mia, had decided to check up on the happy couple, and this is what he found. Joey saw Serenity's eyes close lightly, as though she were dreaming, and her arms wrap around Kaiba's neck. She was kissing back!

"That's.I've.my sister.let go!" Mia had grabbed the back of his shirt, making it real hard to charge in ,pull Kaiba off his sister, and dump him out the window.

"No, Joey, I won't let you! She's a big girl, she can take care of herself. As long as he doesn't do anything more than kiss her, there's nothing you can do." Mia had probably meant this as a good thing, but she forgot she was talking to Joey.

"More than kiss her!!!!! Ouch!" Joey hit his head on the doorframe as he stood up in surprise "Let go!" Mia still had him by the collar.

"There is no way I'm letting you go in there and destroy an innocent kiss!"

"Innocent" Joey's eyes got wide, just as his sister's had a few seconds ago "there is nothing innocent about Seto Kaiba!" He started to charge into the kitchen again, but Mia grabbed him by both shoulders, and spun him around.

"Joey," she said pining him to the wall, "you can't go in there and disrupt that. Serenity will never for give you, and. and. neither will I" she added finally without any real definite sound in her voice.

"but he.but she." Joey sputtered, still held back by Mia, she was surprisingly strong.

"God! Joey, sometimes I think you've never been kissed! If you had, surely you'd realize how magical it is when it's someone you really love" Mia's eyes got big, and chibby like. Joey was completely clueless.

"Love, how could she be in-" Mia lunged forward, kissing Joey with all her might. Her hands, instead of pinning him to the wall , slowly drifted upward, holding his face.

Joey's emotions reached a peek, and he kissed her back, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her closer. Unsurprisingly, all thoughts of the Kaiba/Serenity kiss, going on in the kitchen, passes out of his head, just a quickly as Mia had wanted them to.

The laughter of the rummy game in the living room was heard in the distance. A few seconds later, leaning against the counter, after their kiss, Serenity bumped off a glass, which broke into a million pieces, disrupting Joey and Mia's prolonged kiss. Pretending she hadn't heard anything, Mia got Joey back into it.

In the living room, Tristan was getting bored with his partner, the blonde, who acted like she was (duh!) blonde! Bakura smiled and slipped his arm around Jishou's waste, and, unbeknownst to the rest of the group, Yugi had his hand on Te'a's knee, under the card table. No one cared what was going on under the table anyways, though they did wonder why Te'a won every game.

Back in the kitchen, Kaiba had the letter in his jacket pocket. He would keep it in a special wooden box, in his study, until 3 years later, when Mokuba found it, and got it framed. It hung there, in his study, until the time of his death, when Jishou found it, helping his old friend, Yugi Motto, clear out the big mansion, and decided to write about it.

Serenity and Kaiba secretly married, right before Serenity went to London as a professor, one of the youngest ever to teach at a university. Three years later she came back, and lived with Kaiba until the time of her death, only four months before his own. Mia and Bakura, of course, were sent to the shadow realm, and Joey never truly recovered from his loss.

Jishou now lives with her best friend, Ren'ra, in a little apartment on Okinawa. After a couple years, and Yugi Motto's death, Te'a came to live with them, despite Jishou's objections. They continue to live there to this day.
