Thanks to all that reviewed. I apologize for taking so long to update. I've been pretty busy and I'm also a really lazy person. I kind of have a writer's block as well and I'm choosing my classes for next year. Oh well . Onto the story! Wait before you continue, Mai and Isis and Marik are in high school because the story needs to work like that. Sorry!


The Wish Bracelet

Written by: lightinshadows

When Serenity finds a "magical" bracelet at the shop that Isis owns, she makes a simple, harmless wish that she thought wouldn't mean anything. How wrong can she be? With two idiots trying to win her heart and a certain C.E.O she is nowhas feelings for…could her wish possibly come true?

Pairings: Seto x Serenity. Joey x Mai, Anzu x Yami, Mokuba x Rebecca (slight)


Chapter 2 Encounter with the Ice Cube

Waking up to her alarm clock, Serenity yawned and opened her sleepy eyes. She slowly walked out of her room and into the shower. As the hot water pounded onto her, she looked down at her wrist, where she felt something clinging tightly. It was the bracelet that Isis had given her.

Smiling slightly, she ended her shower a few minutes later and went downstairs after blowing drying her hair and getting dressed. Serenity met Joey in the kitchen. He was currently attempting to heat up some pancakes from Sunday's breakfast. He continued to miss the buttons on the microwave and finally slumped onto the counter, snoring.

The girl snorted and set the timer for a minute before leaning down towards Joey's ear. She whispered, "Joey. Oh Joey. Wake up."

He snorted in return. Frowning, though not angry (it was the same almost every morning), she tried again, "Joey," she called, "Wake up now."

Getting the same answer again, Serenity became cross and said, "Joseph! Up this instant!"

Joey, who had been dreaming about a boxing match between a hotdog and a hamburger, jumped up and slammed his head against the shelves above. Cursing and whimpering in pain, he turned to see Serenity putting cream cheese on a bagel. Pouting, he croaked, "You know, there are easier ways to wake up a person!"

Serenity nodded. "I know that, Joey. You're not normal though."

Smacking her arm lightly as he walked by, the blonde slowly walked up the stairs to the bathroom. "Joey, you forgot breakfast."

Hearing his groan, Serenity smiled and took a bite out of her bagel.

------

The two left shortly after that and were walking to the school gates where they usually met everyone else. Serenity waved to them and Anzu said, "Hey guys!"

"Hi Anzu!" the Auburn haired girl greeted while Joey simply grunted.

"What's his problem?"

"Nailed his head on the shelves again."

Joey growled and said, "It hurt like hell."

"It takes a lot to wake you up, brother."

Yuugi smiled while Tristan and Duke chuckled. Serenity had been coming up with ways to wake up her older sibling ever since she moved in with him. "That's a pretty big lump on your head Joey," Duke said, snickering.

Joey's scowl deepened and he said, "You know how many brain cells I must have lost?"

As the group burst out laughing (well, everyone except Joey) a cold voice pierced the air, immediately silencing the cheerful laughing. "None at all Wheeler, you know, since you don't have a brain."

Serenity turned and she found herself looking at a chest. Looking up, she saw the face of the owner and immediately choked. From her position (next to Anzu, behind Duke), she could just see the boys face. He had dark brown hair, neatly combed of course, and pale skin. He wore the uniform like the rest of the boys, but it seemed different on him. She realized that the air seemed to get colder, even though it was a perfectly warm day, and the taller boy gave off a powerful aura. "Kaiba," Yami muttered, giving the boy a look of respect.

Kaiba, THE Seto Kaiba, simply nodded towards the taller twin. The two seemed to have a strange relationship, both respecting each other. Yami was probably the only member of the gang that Kaiba didn't have a nickname or a grudge against. Serenity was excluded form this since she was new and never met the man in person.

Though never meeting the boy, she had heard tales of the walking icicle. She had seen him on the news and in newspapers and such. Joey had told her countless stories. Kaiba seemed to particularly dislike her older brother. From what she had heard from Yuugi and Anzu, it seemed that Kaiba never considered Joey a true duelist.

Joey glared angrily at Kaiba. "No body asked you."

Kaiba simply shrugged. "Does it look like I care if you asked me or not?"

Anzu rolled her eyes and placed her hands on her hips. "Will you go be a complete jerk somewhere else Kaiba? We're going to be late."

The older boy simply sneered at the girl. "Mazaki…" He didn't continue his sentence as his cold blue eyes locked onto Serenity's dark brown. "Who's that?"

The girl's eyes widened. She was sure he hadn't seen her. For the first time, she realized how different his eyes looked in person than on television. They were the most amazing shade of…HUH? What was she saying? A pink color slipped onto her cheeks. Duke immediately spoke up. "Why do you care?"

Kaiba pretended to think. "I don't."

"Go be a jerk somewhere else," Anzu said.

Serenity frowned. Anzu was right. This boy was being a jerk. She could see where her brother's stories where coming from. The first bell rang loudly, interrupting the glare match between Kaiba and her brother. Kaiba smirked and said, "Well, you get off easy for now. MUTT."

That was the last straw. The blonde haired boys face grew an amazing shade of red and he screeched, "WHAT DID YOU SAY?"

Kaiba simply said, "Mutt." He turned and walked up the steps to school, making the other students around him scatter, leaving him a path to walk.

The auburn haired girl watched as Joey lunged after Kaiba. Tristan and Duke quickly latched onto him and held him back, He continued to curse as the other's left for classes.

Serenity quickly opened her locker and pulled out her books for first period. She had a thoughtful look on her face.

So, she finally met the o-so-hot, o-so-single, C.E.O of the famous gaming company. Serenity had been wondering when she would meet the "Bastard" she shad heard so much about. But…he had acknowledged her presence.

A blush slowly crept onto her face. Her locker slammed shut and up popped Mai's face. Serenity shrieked and jumped back, missing Isis who was behind her by a few centimeters. Anzu laughed. "Mai! You scared me!

"I said hi to you three times! You didn't even glance at me!" Mai replied, crossing her arms over her chest.

"You're face is bright pink! Do you have a fever or something?" Anzu asked, slightly worried. She reached her hand towards the auburn haired girl's forehead.

"Ugh! Anzu, I'm fine!"

Isis chuckled and the girls looked over at her. "Maybe it's not a fever, Anzu," said the black haired girl calmly, "Maybe she is thinking about someone.

Serenity knew that Isis and her insights would get her into trouble one of these days. "WHAT! WHO?" Mai and Anzu cried out, practically jumping on top of the girl.

"I WASN'T." Serenity insisted, but to no avail. She noticed that look in Anzu and Mai's eyes was the look that they gave Miho the time she mentioned Yuugi looked cute last Monday (no, not Yuugi x Miho, don't worry).

"Who has she talked to this morning?"

"No one really. What if it's someone in her first period class?"

"Is it that kid Jackson? Maybe Peter? No, Jacob!"

Isis rolled her eyes at the two girls who continued to list the names of all the boys in the girl's first period class. She looked over at Serenity who was frowning and had turned an even brighter shade of pink. "Maybe," Isis started.

Anzu and Mai immediately stopped talking. "Maybe," Isis continued, "It's because she's remembering the wish she made on her bracelet."

"Bracelet?" the girls chorused.

She nodded. "Of course. The LOVE bracelet."

An accusing finger was pointed at her. "When you gave this bracelet to me, you said it was a regular old wishing one. Not a love one!"

A shrug came in return. "What difference does it make? You made a LOVE wish anyway, if I'm correct."

Serenity shook. "Do you stalk me or something?"

Mai laughed and said, "Isis just knows everything. Let's see that bracelet please!"

Reluctantly, Serenity held out her wrist, where the bracelet clung tightly. The girls started complimenting it and she couldn't help but feel happy. It was a nice bracelet. "MAN," Anzu said, putting her hands on her hips, "I wish I had one."

Fishing in her bag, Isis pulled out two more bracelets. One had amethyst stones and the other had sapphires. Mai and Anzu's eyes grew bigger. "Isis…" Anzu breathed.

The girl simply shrugged. "I knew you would want one."

"Told you she knew all," Mai whispered to Serenity.

Serenity would never doubt Isis again.

------

Behind the lockers a little farther away, Duke and Tristan stood, listening to the girls talking. Tristan smiled and said, "I wonder what she wished for?"

"It IS a LOVE bracelet, doofus."

"So."

"You can be dumber than Joey sometimes."

"Don't over exaggerate, Duke. I'm not that dumb!"

"Whatever."

Duke's mind was on Serenity, not on the fool next to him. What had she wished for? He knew it had something to do with love, but…had it been specific? He scowled. He was going to have to take a risk this time. But, he was the KING of risk taking…

Tristan was thinking along the same lines as Duke. He HAD to get her! Serenity was his! Okay, not right now…but they were soul mates, at least in his mind.

Idiots.


I don't really consider Duke an idiot. And I'm not just saying that because the Duke fan club is behind me with pitchforks. I DO think Tristan is one though and no one can sway me from that. I mean, he is loyal and all…I don't HATE him. I think its sweet how he likes Serenity too…but she belongs with Seto.

Enough of my rants! Please review!
