Dreamy situations
Chapter 5:
The next day Kaiba was a nervous wreck about having to give that girl a full body massage. Mokuba was telling him that he was too self-conscious and that he should loosen up. Most importantly though, he knew his brother would be tempted to make rude comments about her so they had to go over that as well.
"I'm serious Seto. Don't do it."
"But she's so... so... ugly." He was holding up her picture.
"That's not nice. Whatever happened to don't judge a book by its cover?"
"This book look's like a horror story."
"Seto... you've got to be nice if you want a second date with this girl."
"I don't even want a first date!"
"..."
"And I can't believe you told her I'd massage her body. Yuck! If her face looks like that just imagine what the rest of her will look like."
"..." Mokuba shuddered. "Um, anyway. You have to give her flowers when you pick her up from her house."
"What? Why?"
"Must you always question my methods!?"
"...yes."
"Ugh. You have to give her flowers because that's a nice thing to do."
"That's what they did in the old days."
"That's right. There's nothing wrong with the old days."
"Sure there is."
"What?"
"Their old."
"You're impossible, Seto. Let's continue..." he paused, "Last rule. Don't throw up if she looks disgusting in the nude. That's one of the rudest things you could do."
"You act like I have control over my gag reflexes."
"Well, you had better gain control, or else."
"Or else, what?"
"Or else you won't get a second date with her."
"I don't want one!" He stopped for a second, "What's her name again?"
"Rose. Remember, we looked over her letter yesterday."
"Oh god... Mokuba she's almost ten years older than me!"
"So? Most guys like older women."
"Yeah, but most older women that guys go out with are at least half way decent looking."
"Hey, her being ugly and fat could work to your advantage."
"How is that?"
"Well, she's probably got low self esteem... so you can get her in bed easy."
"...THAT'S DISGUSTING!"
"No, it isn't. I read it in a magazine."
"Which magazine?"
"... People Magazine."
"I don't believe that for one second."
"Whatever."
"Anyway what time am I supposed to pick her up?"
"Uh... six o' clock."
"Aw man, I'm gonna hate this."
"That's your problem, Seto. You always await the worst. Think positive."
"Positive? Okay..." he thought for a second. "My positive thought is that I won't have to go on this date tonight."
"Nice try..."
"Ugh... Well, I can't see any positive side to this. I mean, what do I get out of this? Rose gets a date with me, and you get to watch me suffer. What do I get?"
"A lifelong companion."
"If I wanted that, I would have bought a dog."
"I mean a human companion!"
"..."
"Well, you've got a couple of hours. Go get ready then come back down here."
"What for?"
"It's a surprise."
"I hate surprises."
"Just go!"
Seto went upstairs and picked out something simple from his closet. He didn't want to look too good or she might do something nasty. When he was done showering and everything, he came back downstairs as Mokuba requested.
"Okay Mokuba, I'm here. What's the surprise?"
Mokuba pulled out a book, "This is a magic book I bought from the bookstore. It has a poem that's supposed to help people get lucky on dates."
"Get lucky? What exactly do you mean by that?"
"You know..." Mokuba winked at him.
"Ugh... this will not work. But go ahead and say your poem."
"Okay, here goes," he paused. "Hold me close, hold me tight. Never let go... at least not tonight."
"That's it?"
"Yup."
Seto shook his head, "Kids... once they hit thirteen they think they know it all."
"I do."
"Whatever."
"Like being seventeen is a big deal..."
"It is." He smiled.
"ANYWAY, do you have everything you need for tonight?"
"What do I need besides the clothes on my back?"
"Well... an overnight bag... maybe fresh underwear..."
"Mokuba!"
"What? I'm trying to cover all angles."
"...I'm going now." He headed for the door. "Go to bed at ten, okay?"
"Alright, good luck."
"Thanks."
Kaiba walked out the door and went into his car, "... I'm going to regret this."
He drove down to the address written on the card and when he pulled up to the building he was surprised to find that it was pretty big. He went up to the door and knocked twice. While he was waiting for her to answer the door he noticed a sign on the side of the building. It said, 'Sunset Boarding Home.'
Kaiba turned around and was heading back to his car, "Oh, hell no."
"Hey wait a minute!" A girl yelled from the door.
He turned around and saw Rose waving at him, 'Damn.'
"Hey, you're Seto Kaiba right?"
"Yes."
"Great, sorry it took me so long to answer the door. I was sitting on the can."
"Lovely."
"Let's go."
