I'm glad that you all like it so far. I'm going to try and make this one longer.

The bright morning sun beamed through Serenity's bedroom window. Her eyes fluttered open but she had to shield them from the harmful rays. Serenity sat up, her brown hair fell around her shoulders and framed her face. As she opened her eyes wide, she took a deep breath.
"My first day as Seto Kaiba's girlfriend."
Serenity giggled and shivered with excitement. She felt so good inside. So happy to be with the one she had admired...and loved.
"Maybe I should give him a call...or would that be overdoing it? Oh boy. This is going to be harder than I thought. I've never actually had a boyfriend. I'm sure that mom and dad would like to meet him. Or would that make him nervous? My parents would probably say something stupid like, 'What are your parents like?' or, 'When are we going to meet YOUR parents?' I guess that Seto is going to have to meet them eventually..."
Serenity sighed deeply as she fell back to her warm bed. She started to close her eyes and let the feeling of sleep overcome here when the phone rang. She could hear Joey answer it in the next room over.
"This is the Wheeler's residence, whatdya want?"
Serenity giggled at her older brothers words. Joey was silent as the caller spoke. Joey piped up again.
"Oh great! Now your callin' my house! I just knew that you couldn't resist me Kaiba."
Joey was talking in a prissy tone. Serenity hopped out of bed and grabbed her phone on the end table.
"Hello? Hey Seto! It's me Serenity."
She didn't say more until she heard the 'click' of Joey hanging up. She could hear Kaiba laugh nervously on the other end.
"Um, Serenity?" He asked, "I was wondering if you, uh, would like to, uh, go to dinner with me tonight..."
Serenity nearly dropped the phone as she bounced up and down like a little child on Christmas day. She started to squeal with joy, making Kaiba let out a little giggle.
"Of COURSE I'll go on a date with you Seto! Oh, I'm SO excited! Is it going to be fancy? 'Cause if it is, I don't have any fancy clothes to wear! I'll have to get new clothes and new shoes...and do my hair up nice...Oh Seto! I can't wait! Are you going to be picking me up?"
"Yes Serenity. I plan to pick you up around...eight?"
Serenity looked at her clock. Only ten in the morning. She frowned. She was going to have to wait ten more hours!
"Yeah...eight is good, but I think that I'm going to die of anticipation! I don't think that I've ever been so excited!!!"
At the Kaiba Mansion, Seto Kaiba smiled happily. "Don't worry Serenity, you aren't going to die. Just go places and have fun. It'll make time fly by. I can't wait to see you. Bye!"
"Goodbye Seto!"
Serenity hung up her phone and ran straight to her brothers room.
"Joey! Joey!"
Joey was standing in his boxers with a pair of pants and a t-shirt in his arms. He blushed slightly, but Serenity didn't take the time to notice her intrusion.
"Guess what Joey??"
"What"
"Seto asked me out on a date tonight! We're going to diner! I think it's going to be a fancy place, so I'm gonna need a new outfit! I was thinking about going shopping with Mai and Te`a."
Joey's eyes grew wide. His sister was going on a date with a guy two years older than her...alone?
"Woah, wait a minute." Serenity frowned at his tone, it was questioning, "So you're telling me that tonight, you are going on a date with a guy that's two years older than you WITHOUT a chaperone?"
Serenity groaned and rolled her eyes. Her brother was WAY too protective of her. She knew that he wanted to tag along and make sure that Kaiba kept his distance. Serenity knew that Kaiba wouldn't try anything funny. "Listen Joey. I know that you care about me and want to make sure that Seto doesn't touch me, but I think that I am old enough to take care of myself. Besides, Seto loves me. He wouldn't do anything to me that I wouldn't be willing to let him do."
Joey sighed. He knew that his sister was determined to fend for herself. He really didn't want to get in the way of his sister's relationship, but this was Seto Kaiba. No one really knew his thoughts and Joey wasn't too sure that Serenity was safe around him. He had to give in. He didn't want er upset...but he was going to follow them, somehow.
"Alright sis. You can go on ya little date thing. But I'm warnin' ya. If ya come home witout your virginity, ya can kiss mista moneybags buh-bye! Oh yeah, and when he brings ya back home, I don't wanna see non uh dis," He turned around and wrapped his arms around himself and started making kissing noises.
Serenity started to laugh. "Well Joey, I can promise you that I will still be a virgin when I return, but as for the kissing...I'm not promising ANYTHING!" She burst out laughing as her brother faced her again.
As Joey resumed getting dressed, Serenity darted out of his room. Today was going to be a VERY long day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Over at Kaiba Mansion, Kaiba had just finished calling his Corporation. He wasn't going to work today. He had to make sure that he had the flowers and gifts. He had ordered a bouquet of a dozen white roses. By talking to Mai, Kaiba had learned that they were Serenity's favorite flower. They were also his deceased mother's favorite flower. He put them on her grave every year on Mokuba's birthday.
Kaiba shook the thought away as he stepped over to his neatly arranged closet. It was full of trench coats and long-sleeved shirts. It was a walk-in closet, so he easily stepped inside for a closer look.
"Tonight is special. I've never actually been on a date before. What if I screw up? This is going to be harder than I thought it out to be."
He searched through countless outfits and even checked the drawers and cabinets of his armoire. He found nothing that seemed fitting for this special occasion.
"I know! I have enough money, I'll buy a tux! Maybe she'll like that. Let's see...Maybe a white one. I look good in white. Wait a minute, I look good in EVERY color! I should ask for some help...but not from an outsider...Hm...I need someone that has good taste in fashion and knows what girls want."
Mokuba waltzed into his brothers bedroom nearly the same way as he had done a few hours ago. Kaiba ran up to his little brother and hugged him tightly with a big goofy grin stretched across his face.
"Oh boy. What is it that you need me to do NOW Seto?"
"Well, Mokuba, I need your opinion on something. You know that I'm going on a date with Serenity tonight. I want everything to be perfect. Which color do I look better in; White or black?"
Mokuba burst out laughing. He couldn't help it. His eighteen year old brother was asking HIM for fashion tips!
"Well," Mokuba began, "I would say white. It brings out your eyes."
Kaiba raised and eyebrow at the whole 'eye' thing. "Mokuba?" He asked, "Are you gay?"
Mokuba giggled, "No way Seto!" He knew that he brother was joking. He had that joking tone in his voice. "So, are you going to go and get the tux soon?"
Kaiba assumed that his nosey little brother had seen him digging through his clothes and talking about the purchase of a tuxedo. Seto Kaiba smirked.
"Right now. You want to tag along?"
Mokuba nodded happily and ran down to the limo. Before Kaiba left, he looked at the clock. Eleven in the morning. Only nine more hours to go.
******************************************
