Mokuba and Kaiba had just spent the whole day at the beach, they had walked around the boardwalk, grabbed some lunch, and were almost on their way back to Domino city, when Mokuba got a call from Joey. He had heard Mokuba and Kaiba were at the beach and let him know Mai and him were going to go down for what he called 'last bit of freedom'. Mokuba hadn't seen Mai and Joey, since their baby shower so he told them to come on by. He was going to say that he wanted to meet at a restaurant, but Joey insisted on going to a club.

"You can't really expect me to go out with Wheeler?"

"Aw come-on, Joey is going through a lot right now and he needs some fun. Besides we never did get that drink together."

"A lot? What could that mutt really be going through?" Kaiba said, with a tone of annoyance.

"Well Joey is about to be a dad soon and he's freaking out."

"Wheeler a dad?" Kaiba said incredulously. He recalled that he once saw Wheeler stick 23 marshmallows in his mouth, just to see if he could. Things really were changing.

"So you coming."

"Whatever."

Joey and Mai were the first to arrive at the club, Mokuba had already called ahead and put them on the list. The bouncer escorted them to the VIP section of the club.

"Wow, it really does pay to be money bags sometimes." Joey said as he sat on one of the three velvet coaches, and a young beautiful waitress handed him a complimentary drink.

"You better keep those eyes in check Joseph, I'm really not in the mood tonight."

"What'd I do?" Joey said with a dumbfounded look on his face. Mai replied with a simple glare. "Aww come on baby, you know I only got eyes for youse." Joey said putting an arm around Mai. With that their little spat was done.

Serenity and Tea were the next to arrive. The waitress came and handed Tea and Serenity complimentary drinks as well. They sat on the sofa across from Mai and Joey. "Not on my watch sis." said Joey, as he took the drink from Serenity's hands. "So Tea, why the sudden interest in hanging out with Kaiba?" Joey said as Mai elbowed him in the stomach. "Now what'd I do?" Mai just glared at him.

Tea gave an annoyed look at Mai. It's fine she learned a long time ago that Mai and Joey never had any secrets together. Still she wanted to keep things confidential especially since she didn't know if her and Kaiba were even friends. "It's not that I want to hang out with Kaiba, it's just that Mokuba is graduating soon, and he has a lot on his mind. There are somethings that Mokuba hasn't told Kaiba and I think as his friends we should be there for moral support."

"Oh ya, what big secrets can goody Mokuba really have from his brothers?" While Joey was being busy gossiping Serenity tried to take her drink back but Joey quickly took it back from her.

"Come on big bro, you honestly don't think I never drank before." Serenity said as she tried to get her drink back from him.

"Look Serenity I'm trying to have a good time tonight, and making sure no creepy guys fawn over youse is not exactly gonna help me out. I'm already stressed about having to take care of this one." Joey said as he pointed towards Mai's stomach.

"Can you stop acting like it's the end of the world, Joseph." Mai said as she bunked him on the head.

"I'm sorry Mai, it's just once the baby arrives I can kiss dueling goodbye."

"When did you kiss it hello?" Kaiba said, as he and Mokuba were coming up behind Joey,

"Kaiba! You know I went to the semi-finals in your Battle City tournament and in Duelist Kingdom!" Joey said proudly.

"We both know you only got that far because of luck. So stop bragging. Besides you were pummeled to the ground in the Kaibacorp Grand Championship."

"Oh ya rich boy. Let's duel right here right now!" He looked towards Mai, and asked "Hey is my duel disk still in the trunk?"

"Joseph you're embarrassing me, now sit down." Mai growled as she pulled Joey down by the ear.

"Once a mutt always a mutt." Kaiba said snarkily.

"Alright that's it let's g-" Joey began as he jumped out of his seat.

"Come on guys, we're here to have a good time." Tea said, interrupting Joey.

"You're right Tea. But I bet Kaiba here couldn't have fun even if it challenged him to a duel." Joey said as he drank Serenty's drink in one gulp.

"Slow down Joey." Serenity said warningly.

"Ya Wheeler, I'm not cleaning up your vomit at the end of the night." Kaiba said as he and Mokuba went to sit down in the middle sofa.

"Look Kaiba, I can beat you at dueling anytime youse want, and I sure as hell can out drink youse any day of the week."

"You're on." Kaiba quickly snapped his finger, whispered something into the waitresses ear and she came back quickly with 20 shots, 10 for each of them.

"Joseph..." began Mai.

"Relax Mai, when I'm through with Kaiba, I'll still be able to drive us home." Like hell you will thought Mai.

After they each had 5 shots, Joey's speech began to slur.

"Youse, gonaz looz, pretay boooy." Joey said.

"I appreciate that you think I'm pretty Wheeler, but do you find it wise to flirt with me in front of the mother of your child."

"Why I oughta…" with that Joey fell into Mai's lap.

"I'm sorry Kaiba, Joey hasn't been himself lately." Mai said as she was trying to slap Joey awake.

"I understand Mai, if I was about to be a father soon I'd probably be acting the same way." Kaiba said as he took another shot.

Tea couldn't believe Kaiba had used Mai's first name. Tea and him slept together and yet he still called her Gardner. "You really think you should keep drink like that?" asked Tea as she tried to take the drinks away from Kaiba.

"Mind your business, Gardner." Kaiba said as he gave her a very intense look, that made Tea feel as if they were the only two people in the world.

It was Mokuba's voice that brought the club and everyone else in it to their world. "Ya big bro, you should slow down." Mokuba said. He'd never seen his brother drink this much before.

With that Kaiba got up from the table and headed downstairs.

"Come on Mai, I'll help you take Joey back to the car." said Serenity as she grabbed one of Joey's arms, and Mai grabbed the other.

"Thanks for coming out you guys, I'm really sorry for Seto's behavior." Mokuba said as Serenity and Mai began dragging Joey's body out of the club.

"Mokuba don't feel too bad, Joey also has his part to play." Tea said warmly, as she went to take a seat next to him.

"I know, I just feel bad because Joey just wanted to have some fun."

"Mokuba you really need to chill out. Joey might act like a kid but he's an adult he can take care of himself."

"Ya, I know." Mokuba replied, but he seemed to not even be listening to her anymore.

"What's wrong Mokuba?" Tea asked.

"Nothing Tea, just a little tired."

But Tea still didn't believe him. "I ran into Anzu today, she seemed a little weird. Did you two get into a fight?"

"No nothing like that, actually we're better than ever. Since I got my acceptance letter to Zurich, we've sort of been planning to move up there together. She actually got admitted to the sister Art school up there."

"Wow Mokuba, you guys are really serious."

"Ya." Mokuba said somewhat disheartedly.

"You don't seem excited?"

"It's just, I haven't told Seto about Zurich yet. In fact he doesn't even know about Anzu."

"Why would he be upset at that?" Tea asked and then she saw one of Mokuba's sleeves slightly rolled down. "Oh, is it because she's the one who designed your tattoos and your brother still doesn't know about them"

Mokuba didn't want to tell Tea the real reason why he didn't tell Seto about Anzu. He also couldn't think of a more logical reason so he simply agreed with her.

"Well, you're graduating in four days. You know what that means?"

Mokuba simply raised an eyebrow at her.

"It means that for the next four days you're free. You don't have to worry about the future, just enjoy your last few days as a high school kid." Mokuba gave her a weak smile.

"That's it, come with me." Tea said as she dragged Mokuba to the dance floor.

Instead of showing off her professional dance moves like she usually did, she actually started doing silly things. She went from dancing like a chicken to doing the cupid shuffle completely off beat. This made Mokuba laugh, so he simply followed her lead.

"Tea I'm really glad you came with along with Joey and Mai." Mokuba said cheerfully. They were having such a great time until Tea saw him.

Kaiba was leaning up against the bar, sticking his tongue down whom in future retelling of this story would be known as the 'daft bimbo'. Tea was furious, she hated herself for feeling so jealous, all she wanted to do was go over there and claw that girl's eyes out. As furious as Tea had been, was the equivalent shock factor Mokuba had about the scene. In all the years he had known Seto, he'd never even seen him even kiss a girl. At least not so publicly.
