The Kaiba's expensive stretch limo pulled up outside Pegasus's huge, multi-floored castle where the party was being held. When Serenity was helped out of the limo by her husband she was met with a beautiful sight. In front of them was a long stone staircase that had been decorated with a very original red carpet and white draping cloths along the side. Lined along the sides of the staircase were romantic looking lights that looked like mini –Tinkerbelle's trapped in long glass jars. Sweet music filled her ears and encouraged her towards the grand venue filled with VIP's, CEO's and million dollar outfits.

The staircase led to the gothic stone castle that had been built right on top of a cliff. Behind the castle the glimmering, flashing lights of the city buzzed and sparkled with there own unique vibe. But in front of the castle was the most stunning image- the sparkling emerald sea glistened and wafted, it looked so endless… The fairy-lights from the castle reflected glamorously in the ocean, bringing out the sapphire and violet highlights.

Serenity ginned appreciating her amazing surrounding. It was so amazing to be in such a lovely place… surrounded with lovely people… one amazingly lovely person in particular.

"Are you thinking about me?" Kaiba gave her a dashing side-ways smile.

"No," Serentiy smiled. It was scary how well Seto could read her mind but then again, that was what his job was about. "Its gorgeous…" She smiled looking around her once more "But nothing compared to our parties of course…"

Kaiba grinned, that was the right answer. Serenity reached for Seto's hand and he squeezed it softly and together they walked up their very own staircase to heaven, hand-in-hand.

"Oh great! Why do the staircase's always have to be long? Carry me someone…." Mokie mubled

Inside the mood led them to a huge circular white room with French doors. The room was laid out with tables that had golden cloths draped across them and a bouquet of large crimson and silver plastic roses as centre pieces. A small arc wooden bar was also fitted against on wall.

On one of the bar stools Duke was sitting in his grey smoking jacket and black trousers nervously searching the crowds every few seconds to make sure Serenity -and company- hadn't arrived. Safe inside his pocket his hand clutched a small diamond shaped bottle filled with a now slightly fluorescent lime green liquid. Duke asked the bar tender for his fifth alcoholic beverage that night and took it with his free hand. Hearing a familiar murmur in the know busy room Duke turned around and spotted the CEO. Serenity wasn't with him though – he was talking to a man with a white beard and a black suite. Duke searched through the crowds more desperately now stroking the bottle with his thumb. Eventually he found her talking to her older brother, Joey and her sister-in-law, Mai. Duke took his time scanning her. She looks beautiful he thought spending a few minutes gazing at her with high admiration. Then he focused his attention back on Kaiba: Ok he thought the potion is in my pocket at the moment, tonight's the only chance I'm goanna get so I better do it right. Don't worry my gorgeous Serenity you will be mine soon enough. He gulped down the rest of his drink and slamming the empty glass confidently on the table he marched over to wear Kaiba stood.

"Why hello Kaiba, fancy seeing you at such a party," Duke stated trying to be intimidating as he walked up to his rival and the other man. Kaiba turned to look at him.

"Devlin" He simply said before returning to his previous conversation. Kaiba had been trying to convince the owner of a small TV broadcasting company to give him time on the channel for advertising purposes- and he had almost got him to crack.

Then Devlin had come. He and Devlin had never gotten on well so Kaiba didn't know why the hell Devlin had bothered to acknowledge him. He had just turned around and gotten on with his own business. But after a few minutes Devlin invited the two of them for a drink.

The CEO of the TV Company accepted and because Kaiba didn't want to miss the opportunity he also accepted.

They walked slowly to the bar, Duke taking the lead and grinning to himself like a madman. When they reached the bar Duke tried to make it so he was sitting in between Kaiba and the other man but Kaiba wasn't having any of it. He lightly and unrecognizably brushed Duke away and organized the seating the way he liked it, so the man in the black suite was in the middle. Duke frowned and then glared at him.

No matter Duke thought trying to calm him self I'll just do it the simple way. And with that he walked round to the other side of Kaiba. The two men where completely absorbed in thier conversation and didn't even seem to notice Duke. Kaiba had already ordered a small glass of a yellowish looking liquid and it was know sitting in front of him. Duke took the stool next to Kaiba and ordered himself a shot. Duke's hand returned to his pocket and again he fumbled around for the bottle of potion. He took the bottle out of his pocket and gripped it tightly in his hand. He needed a distraction for Kaiba while he put the potion in his drink. He looked up from the bottle to Kaiba. Well he seemed distracted alright. Step one complete. The bartender handed Duke his shot and Duke poured as little of the potion as he could in. Tea had said one drop- he didn't want to go over the recommended amount- they always did that in fairy tales and it never ended well. Out of his caution Duke only put half a drop in -but he didn't know that.

Kaiba had his elbow hitched in between Duke and his drink. Duke then noticed that the woman that was sitting on the stool on the other side of Kaiba was staring at him. She had her black hair in a neat bun and was wearing a purple prom dress. Duke flashed her his best smile. She looked away from his face frowning with disgust and redirected her attention at the potion bottle and the drink. Duke quickly slipped the bottle back into his pocket.

The woman- now scared and thinking Duke was attempting to poison her moved away quickly. Duke heard her say: Hmph!! Mum always said that business was a stupid A-level choice- the people are nearly always mad!!

Duke stared at her wide eyed and hoped she wasn't going to tell anyone. Then he took her seat. Luckily for Duke, Kaiba didn't seem to have noticed any of this. Duke moved right to the edge of the stool so he was in best reach for the drink as possible then made a grab for it. He put it to one side and was just about to replace it when Kaiba reached for his own drink. Damn!!

Kaiba turned to see Duke with the poisoned drink in his hand and cursing.

"Devlin, what the heck are you doing with my drink?" He asked giving a cold penetrating glare that stuck in Duke's inner eye.

"I-urm-I-I…" Duke tried to think of an excuse. I wanted to poison you so I could have our wife and company?? .

"Yes?" Kaiba asked not particularly patiently.

"I-I was just making sure it was cold enough, and yes its fine!!" Duke said. He prayed to god that Kaiba wouldn't choose this moment to ask questions. Kaiba's frown got even more intense. Duke subconsciously gulped. But Kaiba just reached past Duke to get the drink and turned back around rather furiously. Duke felt the strain of being found out ease out of him and he called for his limo smiling to him self. That was his parts done for now. Tomorrow he'd get his second chance to Woo! Serenity and he wasn't planning on letting fate run wild this time.
