Hey yo peoples! I'm sorry about the other day...I was just so freaking angry! But I'm better now. I've got like summer homework and everything, so it would be hard to type a new chapter and edit all those other ones. But I will try. And also, a thank you to Cameron for that very cool (and gutsy) review. I shouldn't have gotten so mad at you. But, heck! I'm just like Seto...short tempered and stubborn!!
Also, to Cameron, if you wish to continue reviewing my fic, go right ahead. I respect the fact that you decided to apologize. I also want you to know, if you're reading this, that I've got no grudge against you anymore!
Sometime later today (hopefully), I'll post the edited Chapter 9. It explains the reason Seto and Mokuba can't swim very well and I might also add a little more detail.
Disclaimer note: I don't own anyone/thing from Yu-Gi-Oh! And that's that. However, if you wish to sue me then by all means...go right ahead! Just remember that I don't own anything!!
All right! Let the story continue! (Note: This chapter is the other part of Chapter 17 that I didn't add.)
Chapter 18: Midnight Phone Call
"A Rebellious Act by Sophia!"
Sophia threw herself onto her bed and cried. "He doesn't understand," she muttered. "It's not fair!! He can't tell me what not to do and I'll prove it! I'm going to call Seto right now!" She sat up, picked up her phone, and dialed the number.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Seto sat at his desk typing on his laptop. 'In today's little events, I forgot about that stupid research paper that's due tomorrow!!' thought Seto. He sighed. "Ah...100 pages? Teachers are crazy if they expect us to write 100 pages in one night...I thought I could actually get some sleep tonight, but I guess not!!"
Just then, the phone rang.
'Argh! What now?' he thought. 'This better be important...this is like the 12th time the phone rang within the last 25 minutes!!' He picked up the phone. "What do you want, I'm busy!"
"Gee, I should think after today, you'd be a little nicer to me!" came the familiar voice on the other line.
Seto blushed. "Oh! It's you Sophi! That's a relief..."
"Of course it's me, silly!" she said. "Who else would it be?"
"Nobody you have to worry about!" he replied. "You could've been another bonehead client, for all I know!... ...So, what's up?"
"I need to talk to you, that is, if you're free. (Jeez, Seto, the "bonehead" comment was completely unnecessary!) So, are you busy right now?"
Seto closed his laptop. "No, actually, I've got plenty of time!" he lied. "So, what's on your mind?"
"Well, it's my dad..." Sophia started. "He's, well..."
"What's wrong with your dad?"
"He..." she paused for a second. She took a deep breath and continued speaking, "He doesn't like you all that much..."
"How the heck would he know?" Seto asked, a little confused. "I've never met him. Well, at least you have a dad!"
"Come again, Seto?" Sophia asked. "I didn't quite catch that."
He paused. 'Oops! I need to watch what I say...the last thing I need is for her to feel sorry for me!' he thought. "Um...just forget that, all right? Why doesn't your dad like me?"
"You remember when you dropped me off at my house earlier?"
"Uh-huh..."
"And right before you left, you kissed me?"
"Yeah..." Seto was getting a little uneasy because she mentioned the kiss. "If there's a point, get to it..."
"The point is...my dad...he kinda saw that...!"
"... ... ... ...He WHAT?!?" Seto was a little shocked. "So, you have the kind of parents that like to spy on their kids to make sure they stay out of trouble."
"No actually," she replied. "It's just my dad. And he said I can't talk to you anymore!"
"Well... ... ..." Seto, for once, was at a loss for words. "He can't do that!" he shouted after a while.
"Seto...mind if I change the subject?" Sophia asked as she started to cry again.
"By all means...!" Seto replied. 'Who does this guy think he is?!' he thought to himself. 'I'd sure like to give him a piece of my mind right about now...and maybe a piece of my fist as well...' [A/N: Obviously, this isn't something he'd say under normal circumstances...]
"Um, Seto? Are you still there?"
"...Yeah."
"I wanted to ask you...why did you start being nice to me all of a sudden?"
"I don't know!" he started to say. But he changed his mind. 'I can't say that to her...' he thought. 'I'd be lying...should I just tell her the truth?' Instead, he replied, "Um, Sophi, I really don't feel like answering that question right now."
"Oh." She said softly. "Okay, that's fine. Holy crud! Look at the time!"
Seto looked at his watch. The time read 12:30. "Oh shoot!!" he shouted. "I've gotta finish that stupid research paper!!"
"Hey!" Sophia shouted on the other line. "I thought you said you weren't busy?!"
Seto thought carefully before answering her. "I'm NEVER to busy to talk to you, Sophia!" he said.
Sophia beamed. "Aww...he he! You shouldn't have!" she giggled. "Well, I gotta go. Good night, Seto!"
"Good night, Sophi!"
They both hung up the phone.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Sophia put her pajamas on and jumped into bed. 'I feel a lot better now!' she thought. 'I didn't quite finish my homework, but that's okay! I'll just get up early and finish it. Or, maybe Seto will help me like last time!' At this, she giggled a little.
She turned off the lights. 'I wonder if Seto will give me a ride to school tomorrow...' she thought. 'I'll call him in the morning.'
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
After hanging the phone up, Seto turned his laptop back on. 'Maybe...' he thought, still thinking about Sophia's last question. 'Maybe I should have just told her the truth...that I've actually liked her since the first time we spoke...'
He stood up and walked over to the window. "Now that I think about it, I was kind of flattered when she called me 'Seto'...!" he said to no one in particular. "Hmm...maybe I should challenge her to a rematch, she's a pretty good duelist...No, I'll just let her have that one!" At this, he chuckled a little, then went back over to his desk.
'All right, Seto!' he thought as he cracked his knuckles started typing again. 'Let's keep working. Only 99 pages to go!'

End Chapter Eighteen
Hey, how was that? Why do I always ask that at the end of every chapter? Why am I in the odd process of writing all these rhetorical questions? Ah, just kidding! Well, that's it. I shouldn't ask you how you liked it...because all of you lovely people will tell me in your review! Ja ne!
