A/N-I warned you that updates would be much less frequent in the future. I forgot what I was going to do with the rest of the story, so... reviews on what you liked about it are appreciated, so I know what to do more of. And thank you all for reviewing. You're the best. And I'm holding a competition for the new title of this story, because let's face it-The Tideis not only irrelavent, but also boring. I will pick the top three and you guys will vote on the one that wins, okay? Thanks! Now, onto the story. And to warn you, mild swearing in this chapter.

Chapter 18 (How is it possible that we're this far, and I still don't have a good title?)

As Serenity walked home from her disasterous date at the pizza parlour, it started to rain. And not just any storm, butan Angsty Teen Storm was pouring its sorrows onto her head.

And Serenity was wearing a skirt.

So, walking home on that cold, wet, dark night, she did some thinking. Well, mostly brooding. But, of course, some was thinking.

I'm going to kill them.

Should I tell Joey?

Joey will kill me!

No, wait! Joey will kill them!

I am SO telling Joey!

Okay, people. Now, don't scorn poor Serenity because she decided to tell her big overprotective brother on them. We all have bad days sometimes. Now, if you were on the date with a boy of your dreams, and he just sat there brooding while local fangirls drooled and you stuffed your face with pizza to pretend the silence wasn't deafening, you would be in a bad mood, too. We all sink a little lower than normal when we're depressed and being rained on by the Angsty Teen storm.

After walking two miles and deciding never to wear high heels again, Serenity finally arrived home to find the light on.

Oh, God! Joey must have already called the police by now!

Luckily for Serenity, Joey hadn't called the police. He was standing by the door, waiting for Serenity to get home. As soon as Serenity saw him standing by the door, anxiously waiting for his little sister to get home, she burst into tears. Then she ran, soaking wet, into her brother's arms and sobbed out the whole story. By the time she was done, Joey had her on the couch with her favorite blacket wrapped around her shoulders and a pint of Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey, watching the Tokyo Mew Mew d.v.d.s he had bought her for Christmas for the fifteenth time. After she had finished the story, pint, and d.v.d.s, it was about nine o'clock. Even though it was early, she told Joey to pick up the phone whenever it rang, and anyone other than Seto and Yugi calling would please let communicate with her, but if Seto or Yugi called, give them a piece of his mind!

After several calls from Tea, Mai, and her other schools friends, Seto called. The conversation went like this:

"Hello?"

"Hello, can I speak to Serenity?" said a masculine voice that definitely belonged to Seto Kaiba. (A/N- Mild swearing.)

All Hell broke loose.

"YOU! HOW DARE YOU CALL MY SISTA' AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO HER! YOU JERK, YOU ! YOU STAY AWAY FROM MY SISTA' FOREVER! YOU HURT HER AND I HOPE YOU GO TO HELL!"

Seto had nothing to say. Clearly this was not the right time to call Serenity.

"Oh, and Serenity says not to bother to talk to her in school. She doesn't want to spend time wit' a jerk like you."

And that pretty much dropped the bomb on Seto's self esteem.

The end of chapter 18! Woo hoo!

And are there any Tokyo Mew Mew fans out there? I'm starting to get into that show, in case you didn't notice by Serenity's comfort rituals...
