Well, HELLO there! I'm back and it's SPRING BREAK right now. So I FINALLY have some time to type some stuff up ok? Ok.
Disclaimer: I never have, don't, and never will own YGO. Got it? Oh, and along the way all the "poems" that Serenity writes throughout this fiction are actually songs that I've heard that I'm going to steal and make Serenity "Make up" so don't sue me ok? Ok.
Serentiy awoke in her new room. Marik had provided her with the biggest bed he could find. She sat up and admired the room. It was spacious and had a couch and a coffee table in one end of the room. Serenity smiled to herself as she let herself fall back onto her pillow with a "puff" sort of sound. Some feathers flew up and gently floated back down and landed on Serenity's face.
Yesterday was the first day she spent without her bandages around her eyes. So, in celebration, Marik took her shopping. He took her shopping for the finest clothes he could buy (He has a lot of money), a guitar, notebooks, sketchbooks, music paper, and anything else she desired. He bought her everything she would need to be comfortable. Marik had provided her a room as luxurious as any you would find in a five star hotel. He provided her with the finest silk nightgowns. Of coarse they had moved to a fancier hideout on behalf of Serenity. She even had a balcony looking out over the sea. He even stayed with her in bed until she fell asleep. She remembered the last thing she saw was his face before she drifted off to sleep.
She smiled and got out of bed. It was still early and she didn't want to disturb anyone, so she walked out onto her balcony and watched the sun rise over the ocean. On the table, which was set out on the balcony, laid a notebook and pencil. Serenity decided to write a poem. So she sat down and began to write.

Now let's all gather
Enjoying the company we share
Our tears will dissolve into thin air
As we drink up this wonderful life
Lalalalalalalala
Taking in all this sweet
LOVE and LIFE
Lalalalalalalala
Drinking up all this good
LOVE and LIFE
Lalalalalalalala
Taking in all this sweet
LOVE and LIFE
Do do do do
Lu tu do do

She smiled. This was a fine poem. She'd turn it into a song. So she walked back inside and grabbed her guitar that Marik had bought her yesterday. She started playing some random cords to strike the first note.
She played and replayed her tune over and over again until it was perfect. Since it was so early, she decided to play it once through and then head downstairs for breakfast.
"Now let's all ga…" she rests for two beats, "…ther. Enjoying the company we…" rests for two more beats, "…share. Our tears will dissolve into thin air." Rests for half of a beat "As we drink up this wonderful life." Rests for two beats "La la la la la la la la!" Rests for half of a beat "Taking in all the this sweet LOVE and LIFE." Rests for a beat "La la la la la la la la!" Rests for half of a beat "Drinking up all this good LOVE and LIFE." Rests for a beat "La la la la la la la la" Rests for half of a beat "Taking in all this sweet LOVE and LIFE" Rests for three beats "Do do do do" Rests for four beats "Lu tu do do." She slows down and finally plays her last note on her guitar and pauses after finishing her song to listen to the waves of the ocean.
But instead of waves, she hears a clapping noise behind her. She gets out of the weird position she was laying in on the chair to get up and see who was there. It was none other than Marik.
"Ha ha! That was beautiful, Serenity! Did you compose it all by yourself?" Malik asked her, with a smile on his face.
"H-how long… how long have you been there?"
"Oh, I was passing by your room for breakfast when I heard you playing your guitar. I suppose it was the intro to your song. Being interested, I came in quietly and listened to your song. Nice tune!" Marik turned around then and started whistling the tune as he left her room. Before she lost all sight of him, Marik turned slightly and signaled for her to follow him.
Serenity set her guitar down on the bench and followed him down to breakfast.
Odeon made breakfast this morning. It consisted of eggs, toast, bacon, sausage, hash browns, and Serenity's choice of drink.
Once Serenity and Marik were having dinner in their own private room, Marik started a conversation. "So, Serenity, how do you like your new room and clothes? Did you enjoy yourself yesterday?"
Serenity looked down at her silk nightgown that she was still wearing. "Uh, yeah. Yes, thank you. I really liked going out with you."
Marik smiled, "Well, I was thinking about going out to dinner tonight. Would you like to come?"
Now Serenity smiled, "Yes! I'd love to go out!"
"Good. I had Odeon put your new dress in your room. You can do whatever you want to do today. Okay? We're leaving at five."
Marik picked up all his dishes and set them in the sink. As he left, he waved and flashed a little smile. Serenity continued eating and thinking about tonight. She started fantasizing about what it would be like to eat at a fancy restaurant in a nice dress.
Just then, Odeon came in the room and disrupted her thoughts. Odeon looked at her and thought, "Oh, she's still here." Odeon didn't really like Serentiy. Marik's been acting strange when she's around. He just went over to the sink and started washing the dishes. "Hmm… Marik always leaves a huge mess." He thought to himself.
When he was least expecting it, Serenity came up beside him and started cleaning dishes. Odeon looked over and saw her smiling back at him. "Uh, no… this is my job. You don't have to wash dishes."
"Nah. It's okay. You probably have work to do. I'll do it." Serenity smiled at him.
"Marik's orders. You go. I'll clean."
Serenity thought a minute. "No, I'll stay and help you. I never got a chance to talk to you anyways."
Odeon looked over at her. Then he smiled. "Maybe I gat her wrong this whole time. She really is nice." He thought to himself. So the two of them stayed and talked while cleaning. Serenity helped with all of the chores and Odeon was with her the whole time.
Later, in Serenity's room, Serenity sat on her bed. It was two in the afternoon. She might as well get ready.
She took a 30 minute shower and started looking around her room with her strawberry towel she made Marik buy.
"Now if I were Odeon… where would I put a girl's dress so that she could find it?" Serentiy looked around her room and came across a closet. She opened it. "Oh, wow! This is one of those walk in closets!" Serenity turned a corner, and sure enough she came across the dress. It was hanging by itself by a dressing table.
"Wow…" Serenity thought, "Marik even put a mirror and everything in here. It's kind of like a mall…"
Serenity tried on the dress. It was a red dress. The shoulder straps were long and flowed down her arms. They hung off the end of her shoulders so that it stayed right about her upper arm. The red, silk dress reached all the way down to her toes and had a slit up to her mid-thigh. Right about where her waist was, there was more cloth that flared out that reminded her of Kaiba's trench coats that he always wore.
She sat down on her stool in her closet and started putting on make up. Soon, it was four o'clock. Since Serenity was ready, she decided to have a chat with Téa as soon as she found matching shoes with this dress.
Of all the varieties of shoes, Serentiy found a pair of high heals with straps that went up half her shin. She put these on, but at a price. It was 30 minutes past by the time she was done putting them on.
She whipped out her new cell phone and dialed Téa's number.

"Hello, this is Téa Gardener. Who may I ask is speaking?"
"Téa! It's Serentiy!"
"Serenity? Oh my God! Serenity, how are you?"
"I'm fine. Marik is treating me out to dinner tonight and I just got finished getting ready. I can only talk for 20 minutes maximum, okay?"
"Fine by me. So, what are you wearing?"
"This new silk dress Marik got me. It's red and really pretty. I wish you could see it. So, how's Joey holding up?"
"Oh, you know Joey. He looks like he's about to kill himself. It's all Mai can do to keep him under control so he won't do something drastic like try to come rescue you himself or something."
In the background on Téa's line, you hear this voice yelling, "Rescue her? That's a great idea, Téa! I'll rescue her myself!"
Another voice comes up, "Téa, you idiot! Now look at what you've done. Joey's all pumped up to go take on Marik himself!"
"Take on Marik? Another brilliant idea. Thank you, Mai!"
Now Téa started yelling, "Oh, I messed up? Look at what you did, Mai!"
"Um, I'll talk to you later, Téa." Serentiy said, but nobody was listening to her they were all yelling so Serenity just hung up.
She looked at the clock, "Wow, that wasted 20 minutes. I'd better go wait for Marik."
But before Serentiy could leave, there was a knock on her door. She opened it and found Odeon there.
"Hello, Miss Wheeler. May I escort you out to the car? Marik is already waiting out in the car."
"Ah, yes, thank you."
Odeon offered his arm to her and led her down the stairs.
"Hmmm… Odeon's such a gentleman. So kind." Serenity thought.
Soon enough, they were out by the limo and Odeon opened the door for her. A hand reached out from the inside. It was Marik. He helped her in the limo. Odeon got in the driver's seat and drove them to the restaurant.
Meanwhile, Marik pulled Serenity closer to him and hugged her. And off they went to dinner.
So, that's it for now. I was planning about stopping it right when Serenity started helping Odeon clean, but then I thought of all the people who would complain about a short chapter. So, enjoy it while you can! REVIEW!
