We Made It
Chapter 19
The Proposal
The next day Serenity was coming over for the surprise of her life. Seto had invited her over. "Come on Seto pick a trench coat already Serenity is gonna be here any minute!" Mokuba wined as he pulled his brother's arm. "You know what I think I won't wear one today." Seto said as he closed his closet door.
Mokuba sighed in relief then pulled Seto down the stairs. "What's your hurry Mokie?" asked Seto. "Oh nothing." Mokuba lied as he ran to one of the closets he had hid Yugi and others a few hours ago. "What will I do with that kid he plays cupid all the time that it might as well be his job!" Seto said as Roland passed him. "Don't worry sir master Mokuba is just looking out for your well-being." said Roland.
Meanwhile Mokuba entered a closet and shut the door behind him. "There you are, man you could have been more Pacific on which closet to hide in!" Joey yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Relax Joey I'm sure Mokuba had forgot to tell us that." Yugi said as he stepped in front of Mokuba. "Well I hope that moneybags takes good care of Serenity." Joey grumbled under his breath crossing his arms. "He will take good care of her Joseph I'm sure of it." Mai confirmed putting an arm around his neck.
"When Serenity gets here you guys can come out of the closet, I'll explain things to Seto later." Mokuba said pointed to the outside. The others nodded meaning that they understood. "I gotta go help Seto about his speech to her." Mokuba said as he opened the door leaving. "Hey while you're at it bring me a cheese burger!" Joey exclaimed having his hands as a bull horn. "He's not gonna bring you one Joey." Tea said sternly. "I know." Joey said glumly.
Mokuba came back to his brother who was working on his speech really hard. "Serenity we've been through a lot and it seems you changed me over the years. But it's not me that you changed it was my heart." Seto practiced over and over. "That sounds beautiful big bro but where will you say "Will you marry me?" Mokuba said as he used his fingers as quotation marks.
Seto sighed "That's the next part." Seto said glumly. "Oh, well I bet she'll say yes." Mokuba said as he smiled.
"Are you hiding something Mokie cause I don't want any surprises today." Seto's arms crossed and his eyes became stern. "Uh, I can't believe after all we've been through together you don't trust me?" Mokuba asked mockingly putting his hand over his heart. Seto's blue eyes began to turn cold then Mokuba sighed as he gave up in defeat. "How did you know?" he asked. "Cause I know yo to well "Cupid." Seto said as he lightened up and began to mess up Mokuba's raven hair up.
"So what did you hide this time?" Seto asked as he bent down to his brother's level. "Please don't get angry Seto It's just a few years ago Serenity had told me that if she was gonna be purposed she wanted Joey and her friends there so I hid them in a closet so they could see her proposal." Mokuba explained.
"I guess this one can slip since it's her wish." Seto said in defeat. Mokuba opened the closet door when the they reached it and everyone tumbled out.
"Sesh next time warn us when you're gonna open the door." Joey said as he fell to the floor. "Sir Miss Wheeler is here." Roland said as he ran up to the group. "Thank you Roland." Mokuba said as he went to meet up with Serenity. "Kaiba if you marry Ren I want you to take good care of her or I will personally come give you a man to man talk." Joey said as he punched his fist together as well as Tristan.
"Don't you mean "Man to dog?" Seto asked as a smirk crept up his face. "Just remember what I say Kaiba." Joey wined.
Seto got a small box out of his pocket then started toward the living room having the group following behind. When Seto saw Serenity he began to get nervous. "Just do it." he thought in his mind as shook his head. Seto entered the room having Mokuba get her attention to him. Yugi and the others were in the door way as they watch the fairy tale unfold to they thought would be a happy ending.
Seto cleared his throat then said "Um Serenity could I ask you something?" Seto asked as he sat down by her. "Sure Seto." She answered with a smile on her face. Mokuba got off the couch then headed toward Roland and the others.
"Serenity we've been trough a lot and it seems you have changed me over the years. But it's not just me you've changed it's my heart you've changed." Seto said as he put his hand over his heart. Serenity smiled as tears came out of her eyes. to"Even though I thought I couldn't change to what I yous't be before I met you. You proved me wrong and I thought Mokuba was the only one I would ever be close to but it seems you are close to me in my heart.." Seto continued in his speech.
No one didn't realize it but it seems Seto and Mokuba's mother's ghostly form was there crying tears of joy while gearing this.
"So Serenity." Seto asked as he got on one knee and opened the small box behind his back."Will you marry me?" Serenity had tears come down her eyes "Yes!" She answered. "It's like a dream come true, I never thought I could break down that wall he sealed around his heart but today it seems I changed that for good." Serenity thought as everyone else cheered including Joey. Roland pulled out a tissue and wiped his eyes. As they all began talking excitedly of how beautiful that speech was Seto turned around and saw his ghostly mother crying with Joy. "I never thought that you could change so fast, its as if someone erased the the heart of the beast inside you." She thought as she watched Seto smile and twirl his fiance around. "Maybe now I can be at rest and not worry that my son would alone by himself.
She walked behind Seto gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek getting Seto's attention. Seto smiled as he watched his mother disappear. "Goodbye Mother." Seto whispered leaving the wind blowing his hair and leaving a happy ending to finish the story. But this wasn't a happy ending it was only the beginning.
