Chapter 12 Getting ready

Hey everyone! Well, here we are, chapter 12. I just realized how long this story's going to be. Oh well.

Disclaimer: Hey, guess what? I don't own Yugi-Oh.

Serenity

Serenity was digging through her closet around noon the next day, looking for something to wear in front of Kaiba. How should she dress? She didn't want to look out of place. What if she showed up in a pair of jeans and a t shirt? No, that might not be formal enough. But what if she arrived overdressed? That would be embarrassing. Luckily around that time, Mokuba called to tell her what time to be there.

"Seven." He said." That should give you plenty of time to get ready."

"Thank you, Mokuba. How should I dress? Because I really can't decide what to wear."

"Oh, dress nice. This is a fancy restaurant, you want to look your best."

"Okay, thanks. I need to get ready. See you later."

After handing up, she called Tea and asked if she could drop her off there.

"Why don't you just get Joey to take you?"

"I can't! He can't find out or he'll kill me!"

"Why? What are you doing?"

"Nothing much. I'm just...meeting Kaiba and Mokuba there."

"What?! Kaiba?! Are you crazy? Serenity," She said, trying to calm her voice. "I know he's cute, but maybe you should base who you date on looks."

"I'm not dating him! Ew! We're just...going out to eat at a nice restaurant. ".

"Oh, Serenity, I don't know. I mean, why would Kaiba invite you to dinner with him?"

"It's to make up for the way he treated me when I visited him at the hospital. He was very rude, you know. But maybe this will be better."

"Well...okay, but I'm still not so sure about this. I'll take you, but you still need to be careful around him."

"Don't worry, Tea, I'm a big girl. I can take care of myself. Trust me."

"Oh I trust you. It's Kaiba that I don't trust. But...I'll keep it a secret if you really want me to."

"Thanks, Tea. You're a real friend."

After hanging up, she returned to the grueling task of deciding what to wear. Mokuba had said dress nicely. Well, she certainly had a nice dress, silver blue and made to fit her figure perfectly. The only problem was that it was a halter top, and in the middle of December that would be very uncomfortable. At first, she thought of wearing a jacket over it, but she didn't have any that would match it and look the least bit decent.

But then, the yellow sun dress wouldn't do either. It was too casual for a dinner meeting like this. She had outgrown her dark green dress, and the rest of her clothes just didn't look right for such a nice dinner.

She tried on the halter dress. The silvery blue color was perfect, and matched a shade of eyeshadow she had. Although she loved this dress, if fit nicely, and she wasn't sure if she wanted the great Seto Kaiba to notice her...form.

Seto

"No no no,. wear something nice, Seto."

"What? Why?" He asked as Mokuba went through his closet, throwing clothes all over the floor. Mokuba sighed and pulled out a dark, navy blue shirt. He had seen the way girls looked at his brother when he wore that shirt. Hopefully it would work on Serenity, too.

"This is a good restaurant we're going to, Seto. Wear this with...these pants..."He said, pulling out a pair of black slacks. "And your white trench."

"My trench-coat? Why would I want to wear that? It could get dirty."

"You'd look good in it." Mokuba said, grinning. "And you wouldn't want to offend the people at the restaurant by showing up looking grungy, would you?"

"Why do I care what the people at the restaurant care about me?"

"I don't know...it just seems to me that a man of you standards would want to have more friends than enemies."

"And I'm going to make friends by dressing good?"

"...Yes."

"Alright, I'll wear it." He said, taking the clothes out of his brother's hands. "Now, go in there."

"Okay." Mokuba smiled. His plan was going perfectly so far. Now, if his luck would hold out, Seto wouldn't freak out when he found out that he had invited Serenity. But then, it was Seto.

Mokuba giving Seto advice on what to wear...I know, weird.
