"Natalie Nicole Smart." The day was sunny. The cherry blossoms fell all around the stage of the graduation ceremony. Natalie gratefully took her diploma, hugged her teachers and joined the rest of the honors group which also contained Isis, Seto, Yami, Duke, Joey, Tristan, Bakura, Te'a and some of her groupies, and Mai.

"May I present to you, the graduating class of Domino High!" the crows stood up clapping and screaming with glee. Isis smiled absently as her thoughts drifted. 'Malik and Odion will never experience this day…and Marik will never share the joy with us.' A tear fell from her eye and rolled down her cheek as the students threw up their hats up in the air. Natalie looked at her as the rest of the class went to hug and greet.

"Isis what's wrong?!" Isis smiled reassuringly.

"I'm just…it's nothing! Really! It's just a bittersweet day that's all." Joey and Tristan bomb rushed them, picking them up in a tight embrace.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE WE DID IT!" He kissed Natalie as Tristan ruffled Isis' hair.

"I know. I can't believe YOU did it either." They all turned to see Mai standing there with her arms folded. "I mean who knew that someone like you could accomplish this?"

"Congratulations Mai. Are you going out to celebrate with your boyfriend?"

"Too scared to have a comeback?"

"Too mature to care." Joey said wrapping his arm around Natalie and they walked off, leaving a stunned Mai alone with her thoughts.

"Seto." A stern voice called out and they all turned around. A tall, curly brown haired girl stood there with a bouquet of flowers. "I've missed you so much!" She ran up and hugged him tightly. Isis stood there shocked at this girl who came out of no where as Mokuba and Noah walked up.

"Sheri?" The girl looked up at Mokuba and Noah.

"Mokie! Noah!" She hugged them and sized them up.

"Mokuba, you've grown so much! And Noah!"

"Yes…I know. Odd actually touching me than just seeing me from a computer." Isis cleared her throat and Sheri turned to her.

"I didn't know you guys had a sister." Seto bit his lip as Mokuba burst out laughing. "What's so funny?" Noah shifted uncomfortably.

"That's not our sister, she's Seto's fiancée."

"His….WHAT?!" She turned hot eyes to Isis and Isis' cheeks flared.

"Um, this is Isis Ishtar." Seto said stepping in and Isis exhaled slightly.

"I'm going to go find Alice and Lacy. I'll catch up with you later." Isis hurried off without waiting for an answer and Seto turned back to Sheri.

"Brisk and quick isn't she?"

"What are you doing here?" Seto replied sharply and she ran a finger across his cheek and he jerked away.

"Your temper does not scare me. I told you, I missed you so much and I knew today was your graduation day so I came to see you." Seto rolled his eyes.

"Thanks for caring."

"Really!?"

"No."

"AUNTIE ICY!!" Lacy jumped down from her mother's arms and ran to her. She wore a lime green shirt with a chiuwahwah on the front and lace sleeves starting from the elbow down. Her skirt was made up of a mixture of pink, yellow, green, white, brown, red, and orange wavy lines with white tights with blue and pink flowers on them and red cowboy boots. Her red hair was in two ponytails in the front and rest were down in the back. Isis smiled at her.

"Don't we look flashy today?!" Lacy ran into her open arms and squeezed her tight.

"I saw you up there on the stage! I took a picture of you!"

"I saw!"

"And I'm 3 now!" Alice smiled enthusiastically as Isis put Lacy down and embraced her in a hug.

"I am so proud of you!" Alice's forest green eyes looked into Isis teary blue eyes and she rubbed her cheek. "They would be proud of you too."

"It's just sad that they won't be able to experience it."

"They are…right here." Alice put a hand on Isis heart and Isis nodded. Seto approached them and smiled.

"Hello Alice."

"Hiya Seto!" Seto ruffled Lacy's hair as he pulled Isis to the side.

"I'm afraid I have to cancel our dinner plans for tonight; something's come up." Isis looked past Seto to see Sheri converstating with Noah and Mokuba, who both seemed drawn else where.

"That's fine, I'll just hang with Lacy, Alice, Natalie, and them. I'll be fine."

"Ok, but I need to get with you later because we only have two weeks until our wedding and I want to get the party together so we can get the clothes and everything."

"But we haven't even gotten the decorations or the pla-"

"All of that is taken care of. I'll run it by you later." He kissed her on the forehead and Isis put a hand on his that rested on her cheek.

"What time do you want me to come by?"

"7, as usual." They both nodded. "Bye." He walked off, pulling Sheri, Mokuba, and Noah with him.

"Who's the girl?" Alice said placing a hand on her chin.

"I have no clue. An old friend maybe?"

"Isis!" Natalie ran up to her and Alice clapped gleefully.

"Come on now girls so I can get some pictures of you guys!" Isis put on her best cheerful face and cheesed with all of them.

Later

Alice had stopped at a diner with Isis, Natalie, and Joey before her and Lacy headed out on a trip.

"So, tell me about what you guys what to do, since you all are getting ready to be college students now!" Alice exclaimed excitedly.

"Well…while I was in Australia, I came across a really great college and I want to go there because it has a great classes in science and history, just what I need to become an archeologist." Isis looked at Joey.

"And Joey?" Joey looked down at his plate with a faint smile on his face.

"I'm gonna miss her. I can't leave Serenity here with no one. She'd be devastated. So…I'm going to Domino College for two years and by that time Serenity will have graduated and them I'll be spending the next two years Down Under with Natalie."

"And what are you going to do when you graduate from college?" Isis asked, taking a sip of her drink.

"We plan on getting a house down there." Natalie said nervously and Isis spit out her drink.

"WOW! That's wonderful Nat!" She hugged Natalie and Joey as Lacy burst into laughter. After they all settled down Alice turned to Isis.

"So Isis, what about you?" Isis shrugged and looked down at her plate.

"This year has just…gone by so fast. I guess I haven't really thought about it or really had a choice. Seto is giving me the museum so I guess I'll be doing that while going to college."

"Isis that's great! Running your own museum! You love those artifacts! And if you're a museum owner and I'm an archeologist." Isis looked up happily.

"We get to see each other often!" They squealed with Joey and Lacy looked at them confused.

"Momma why they going crazy?!"

"They're just really happy sweetie." The door of the diner opened with the sound of the bell and they all turned to see Seto, Mokuba, Noah, and Sheri walk in.

"Quick! Hide!" They all scooted around the circular booth, Isis ducking down so her head wouldn't show over the side. They all turned their heads away from the front of the dinner as Seto got their table and sat down…which happened to be the one right behind them.

"So what do you want to eat guys?" Sheri asked happily.

"Not like you're buying!" Mokuba said sharply and Seto glared at him.

"Mokuba. You don't even know Sheri that well; be nice."

"I know she ain't Isis, that's what I know. I don't have to be nice to her when you're not nice to her either!"

"I have a reason, you don't. Noa, will you take Mokuba to wash his hands?" Noa shrugged and walked a still complaining Mokuba to the bathroom.

"So, now that we're alone, we can finally talk."

"Why are you here?"

"Damn straight!" Isis whispered quietly and Alice, Natalie, and Joey shushed her.

"Seto I can't live my life without, I can't stand not being able to see you…it hurts. And I know somewhere inside you feel that way."

"Actually I'm quite content with my fiancé' and life." Sheri snorted.

"That child you plan on marrying?! Please."

"She's only one year younger than the both of us." Sheri stretched out her long, pale, smooth arm towards his head and gently nudged a loose hair behind his ear. Seto looked up from the menu, giving her a strange look.

"See when we touch…it's just like old times!" Isis looked up at the arm in disgust and quickly slid the sharp knife from the table and jabbed it in the arm, before Natalie and Joey tried and succeeded in yanking it from her.

"OUCH!" Sheri turned towards them quickly.

"Did you just stab me in the arm?" Joey and Natalie kept their faces forward.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Joey said with a fake Swedish accent.

"What do you mean? One of you just stabbed me."

"You're being ridiculous. Neither of us stabbed you mam." Natalie said joining in.

"LOOK! I'M BLEEDING!"

"I see nothing." Joey said crossing his arms.

"You aren't even looking!"

"Where we come from, it's bad to look at strangers in the face." Natalie said, glaring at Isis who sheepishly slid lower down in the seat, almost under the table.

"Sweden? I used to live in Sweden."

"We're not Sweden we're Dutch!"

"That's basically the same thing! I for a fact know that-"

"You didn't let me finish. We're Chozlate Dutch."

"Chozlate Dutch?"

"Mhm." Natalie and Joey both nodded their heads and Sheri crossed her arms.

"I've never heard of it."

"We are a small people, us Dutch Chozlate." Sheri rolled her eyes as Seto patted a napkin at the now drying blood.

"I'm fine Seto thank you." Seto laid the napkin down and Sheri smiled at him.

"See you do care."

"Not at all." Sheri sighed as she looked down at her hands.

"Maybe this will change your mind. All it took was for Isis to see Sheri's shadow leaning in towards Seto's to set her off.

Natalie's POV

As soon as Sheri leant in to kiss Seto, everything seemed to move in slow motion. Isis pushed the table over that she was hiding under, although I think it was nailed down to the table. She grabbed a knife that was flying through the air at the present moment and went straight for Sheri's face screaming,

"HELL NO!" Joey and I both grabbed for her at the same time, bumping heads and slightly smiling about it, but suddenly remembering Isis. We yanked her back right as she had taken the knife across Sheri's cheek who yelped out in pain. Seto kept a calm look on his face as Noa and Mokuba had come out of the bathroom to see the kiss part and on.

"Noa, take Sheri to the bathroom. Fix her up." Noa slowly grabbed a screaming Sheri out of the booth and dragged her to the bathroom as Seto got up and released our grasp on Isis. He gripped her arm and he started pulling her out of the diner.

"Some graduation night." I said plopping down in the seat and Lacy laughed.

"Lacy that's not funny! Someone could've gotten hurt!" Alice scolded at her daughter and Lacy dropped her head.

"Oh."

Normal POV

Seto pushed Isis into the limo head first, stomach down briskly as she yelled at him about Sheri. Once she managed to turn over on her back, she was shocked to see Seto crouched over her.

"Seto, yo-" Her words were interrupted with a kiss, but she shook her head. "Seto you know that-" He kissed her again, this time placing his right hand on her cheek. After a few moments he pulled back searching her eyes.

"I'm marrying you. I love you. I care for you. There's no need to go and get jealous and almost kill someone. That style is way out of date." Isis shook her head.

"It's not even that I'm jealous. It's just the fact that she touches you and she KNOWS you have a fiancé." Seto shrugged.

"She's just like that. But I'm not interested in her. She's not the one I'm putting the trust of my future family in. She's not and that the end." She nodded as he kissed her forehead and then stopped suddenly, his breathe short.

"Seto? What's wrong?" He closed his eyes, shaking his head before rigidly trying to get off her, but she held onto his collar. "Seto?"

"If you don't let go, your wedding night will be tonight." Isis' hand absently dropped from Seto's collar as she stared into his eyes.

"Um….how did you get that out of the conversation we just had."

"I don't know….but that skirt you're wearing is really tempting to just take off." Isis squirmed under him, slide back against the door.

"Seto, I don't know what's wrong with your hormones but I want that girl g-" Seto kissed her again and she sighed. "You're not gonna let me finish are you?"

"Do you think I'm really interested in her?" Seto said kissing her neck and Isis relaxed her body.

"N-no."

"Then trust me." He started kissing down her body, lingering right above her skirt line before sitting up and exiting the car. "Your family's waiting on you. I'll let you recover." Isis whined as he straightened his clothes and glanced back at her. "Don't whine. You'll get it in two weeks." He shut the door as Isis ran her fingers through her hair. 'Two weeks…that's all you have.'
