"Oh my little baby is growing up!"

"Dad, tell Mom to stop acting like and idiot!" An eighteen-year-old Ai shouted at her father who snickered.

Graduation day, and Malik was acting like the other moms.

"I'm kidding, I don't see why mother's act that way." Malik responded and hugged his daughter.

"Ai!" Two feminine voices came and Malik stepped back before the older girl was glomped.

"Gah! Hard to breath!" The Egyptian said as Hathor, Hotaru sat on her. Keiko merely walked over with Akira behind her by the ear.

"Your classmates are disgusting." She muttered while Akira looked to be in dreamland.

"They're all a bunch of whores and gold diggers Akira. Go after someone else, like Hathor."

"Oi! W-why say that?" Said girl glared at Ai.

Ai and Keiko looked at each other and grinned.

"Smile!"

All the teenagers turned to find Yuugi with a camera and then a flash.

"Uncle Yuugi!" "Papa!"

Yuugi smiled before going over to Yami and sitting in his lap, "it's graduation, besides, Ai's got a nice gown on."

Ai glared at her 'Uncle' with hard green eyes.

"Too bad Shizuka was here to miss this," Katsuya said with a smile on his face. Otogi and Shizuka had gone to America the year before. Hiroshi, being their son, ended up going too.

"She said she'd be here for Keiko and Akira's though." Kaiba said as he watched the kids sit down and as his daughter brought out a deck of cards.

"What is this, poker night at the game shop?" Bakura asked before nuzzling Ryou's white 'mane'.

"Yeah, only it's here!" Hotaru shouted and grabbed her cards.

"It's only a matter of time before they start the strip poker." Katsuya stated. All the other parents looked at him.

"When did they do that?" Yami questioned while staring at his daughter.

"I think it was prom night, I found pictures on top of Keiko's dresser."

"And what were you doing? Sniffing around for condom wrappers?" Marik laughed at the blond.

"No, putting some clothes away, the first one just happened to be Ai taking her shirt off."

Marik and Malik both stared hard at their daughter. Yami sighed, "what does it matter, they are old enough now to know certain things."

"Is that why you were questioning that one kid she was studying with? By the way, he's gay." Yuugi asked him.

Marik and Bakura began try to hold in their laughter.

"Oh go to hell you two."

Marik and Bakura then chose that moment to laugh, the teens all turned to see Yami glaring at the two laughing spirits and shouting something in Egyptian.

"Any idea what they are saying?" Keiko question Ai.

"Um, he's really fluent, I'm not but I think he just called your dad an f-ing bitch, Hotaru."

Hotaru began to laugh and Hathor sighed, "see! He gives me a bad name!"

"Sorry to disappoint you Hun, but you give yourself a bad name." Keiko grinned while Hathor glared at her best friend.

"Ah don't worry Hathor, I still love you." Akira put an arm around her shoulders.

"Get off of me you lech!" Hathor smacked him.

"Ai," a girl with long black hair said. She was in a graduation gown too, only in silver since she hadn't been in the high honors program.

"Suzume," at this the Egyptian got up and started walking with the Japanese girl.

"Let her talk to her friend for a few minutes, then we're going to go out to eat. My treat, well, except for Yami." Marik said before Malik turned. Both set of lavender eyes glazed over before Malik got up and promptly went to the car.

"Damn him, fine, lets just go."

"I'm guessing he used the almighty 'no sex for a week' thing?" Yami questioned.

"Worse, a month."

"I seriously doubt he could last a week, let alone a month." Yuugi stated while Bakura laughed.

"Nah, he'll just come over to our house like he did last time." Ryou muttered. Bakura grinned and began to kiss the near-albino's neck.

"Come on lets go, Ai, we're going out to eat, you want to join us or are you going partying?" Katsuya shouted since he had the loudest voice.

Ai waved and hugged her friend before running up to them with her gold gown trailing behind.


Hey everyone, while it's been a blast this past week, I have to say, I will be going on a hiatus for a while. Nothing anybody says can get me out of it because I will be really busy with marching band camp. I'll be getting up at 7 and probably not be going to bed until about 11. For those of you who have been reading and reviewing, thank you! This story has gotten the most reviews out of all the stories I have ever written! I will most likely be back in the middle of September, beginning of October, because frankly, I'm running out of ideas and need to consult my peoples (I.E. Tasha-chan and Lauren-chan).

Thanks, watch for me in September! Maybe if I'm not too tired, I'll post with in that time, but school and camp are going to where me out!
