It was a lovely ceremony, one that stays forever in her memories...a moment where she truly made him proud...
...Right?
"Connar? Helloo? Connie?" Mokuba sighed as he gazed upon the sleeping beauty. Hands on his hips as he shook his head from side to side.
"Connar if you don't get up now you're going to miss the ship!" he huffed,"Besides didn't you want to see the entry level duels of the applicants seeking enrollment into Duel Academy?"
She had been looking forward to this da for a long time. Day and night she trained herself, practicing with her deck only to improve her already natural talent. All she wants more than anything else is to make her father proud, and to truly earn her family name...
"CONNAR ROSE!"
"EEK!" she shrieked, startled as she fumbled out of her bed, entangled with her lovely princess bedding, pink and frilly that matched the color of her cherry blossom hair. Silk and frills...nothing but the best for daddy's little princess...a sleeping beauty indeed.
"Uncle Mokeeeyyyy" She groaned and puffed her cheeks with her sleepy eyes locked together fighting back the waking tears and eye crusts from being up late the previous night,"I was having such a good dream..."
"Oh sweet Connie...lost in dream land someday we're afraid you might never return..." Her uncle chuckled and patted her head as he unraveled her blanket wrap. A look of uneasiness shimmered in bright her blue eyes as she thought back to the day where she almost didn't.
"That aside, you are aware of what day it is today...aren't you?"
"Hmm? What are you talking about?" she yawned and tried to straighten out her long pink haired bed-head.
Her uncle sighed.
"Check your calendar again..."
She looked rather confused and lost in a daze as he stumbled over to her wall calendar and counted the days
"AHHH! OH NO, I'M LATE!" she cried out and fumbled around over herself.
"...There you go." he chuckled as he watched her stumble into her closet and slam the door. Why she decided to dress in a closet was beyond Mokuba but he just simply shook it off and continued to gather her scattered blanketing from her plush carpet. Not long after she locked herself inside Connar then quickly burst herself out, smacking right into her uncle who soon met the floor, padded by a pile of frilly blankets into a trap of comfort.
"Sorry Uncle Mokey! I'll make it up to you!" She giggled and hopped out while sliding on her boots.
"Hey make sure you say good bye to Big Brother- Oh what's the point she's already gone..." he sighed and began to pick up the blankets again.
"...We have maids for that Mokuba, why do you bother...?"
"O-Oh, Big brother-" Mokuba paused,"I take it you saw Connar off already?" he gave a light chuckle.
"I figured something like this would happen." his brother huffed and gave a soft sigh,"So I came in this morning and said my farewells while she slept."
Mokuba sighed.
"While she was asleep!? You know, big brother...you ought to try showing you care while she's awake once in a while." he chuckled.
The man blushed and averted his gaze.
"She'll know I care." he grumbled,"I left her a gift in her deck to assure that."
"Pfff...typical Seto." Mokuba chuckled and neatly folded her blankets onto her bed.,"You're gonna miss her, admit it." he snickered.
"I don't have to admit to anything, Mokuba." Seto huffed,"That girl of mine, has seemed to always come across as one card short of a deck." he sighed and walked out of his daughter's bedroom, avoiding his brother's teasing gaze,"Now hurry it up, or we will also be late."
Mokuba found himself amused by his older brother's reaction"True enough, she can be a bit flighty." he snickered,"Hence why you worry about her so much~ Don't worry bro, I won't tell~!"
"Mokuba!"
The girl dashed at her heels, practically flying as she ducked and weaved through the people that sprinkled the streets of Domino City.
"If I want to see the entry exams I better step on it!" she giggled and dashed a little faster, though the speed left it to where she couldn't stop herself in time- "L-Look out!" she called out to a brunette who was walking ahead,"C-Coming through- P-Please excuse me! I'm RIGHT BEHIND YOU!"
"Huh?" he finally acknowledged her small voice and turned toward her, unfortunately not in time.
SMACK!
The two took a fall together in a frontal collision.
"O-Oh no!" she flailed as she sat on top of a brunette male,"I-I'm so sorry!"
"Hahaha, Wow, at least buy a guy a cup of coffee first~!" he teased.
"N-No that's not what I-AHH!" as she looked up she saw that upon impact, her cards decided to scatter to the wind in flight.
"Oh No, My deck!"
"Your deck!?" he called out and looked up,"Oh no-That's certainly not good, come on!" he lifted her plopping back to her feet.
"Wait...you'll help me?"
"Of course!" he said,"What kind of duelist would I be if I let another duelist lose their deck!? I mean...that's practically Duelist's code!" he grinned.
"I see...thank you." she returned his gesture with a sweet and grateful smile.
"Less chatting, more grabbing!"
"O-Oh, Right!"
The two laughed, making a game of catching the scattered cards.
"I-I Got one!"
"HaHa, Me too!" They beamed and giggled together.
"If I grab more cards than you, then you really gotta buy me that cup of coffee!" the boy laughed.
"If you help me gather all my cards, I'll buy you a coffee and a doughnut!"
"HaHa, Now you're talkin'!"
The two split up and continued to gather cards.
"And...last one~!" Connar sighed in relief as she caught the final card in the wind and grinned.
"Well Done~!"
"Huh!?" Connar blinked and glanced over towards the brunette.
"Did you say something?"
"Huh?" he blinked,"No not me."
"Huh..." she blinked and pondered," Come to think of it...that voice was kind of feminine..." She blinked and glanced down at the card in her hand.
My...Dark Magician Girl?
Were you the one...?
Nah...Not likely.
I'm passed that now!
...I must have just been hearing things.
