The next day Yugi woke up early, and in an overly happy mood. Not even she knew why, but the feeling that something fun was going to happen today never left the air around her as she hummed random songs. Even Tea smiled slightly when she saw Yugi, as the stepsister was usually in a grim mood around the girl. Then, while she was sweeping the entryway, a carriage stopped in front of the house. Yugi was confused as a man walked up to her. He had shaggy, dirty blonde hair with honey brown eyes. In his hand was a piece of parchment. He handed it to her with a smile before announcing.
"All the ladies, slaves and noble woman alike, are invited to come to the palace for the royal ball tonight." He was about to leave when he looked both ways before leaning down to whisper. "There's a good 'n strong rumor that the prince is hopin' to find some lady he met in the marketplace, but then again, that's just a rumor." He then went back to the carriage with a smirk on his face. Spreading the rumor: Check. Inviting all ladies in the land….. the man sighed. There were lots more girls who needed to be invited. Yugi blinked in shock for a moment. All the ladies in the land? Including slaves? Well, the rumor made sense, she mused, going back in the house. She then became excited. Her stepsisters and stepmother would be giddy at the rumor, which meant that Ryou had less than a 3% chance to get punished instead of the usual 20% chance.
"Stepmother! Stepsisters! I have great news~!" It was silent for a moment before Yugi added "It's about a ball coming up~!" In less than five seconds, all three were there. Ryou was in the background dusting as Yugi handed her stepmother the invite. "All the girls, including slaves, are invited! There's a rumor that the prince is looking for a certain girl he met in the marketplace! Ryou and I can help with your dresses!" Rebecca frowned.
"But what about you?" Yugi was about to answer when Vivian butted in.
"With you two helping us with our dresses all day, you will have no time for chores, so while we are at the ball you will be doing chores." Ryou stopped what she was doing as both Yugi and Ryou's eyes widened. They couldn't go…
"Of course, stepmother. Let's hurry and get those dresses ready." Yugi said, fake smile on her face. Rebecca sent the two girls an apologizing smile and they both shrugged. Ryou, Yugi knew, would come up with something to cheer each other up while her stepmom and stepsisters were away.

Atemu looked out and at the land from his bedroom door, watching as the many carriages dropped off the wealthy, and the pour walked to the palace gates.
"Looking for her?" Atemu looked behind him to see Seth walk forward before looking back outside and nodded. "well, good luck with that."
"Going to go argue with your puppy?" Atemu asked with a slight smirk. Seth glared at him before nodding.
"Tell me when you see her." It wasn't a question and Atemu rolled his eyes.
"Of course."

The second Yugi's stepmother and stepsisters left, Ryou had dragged them down to the basement, a place that no one wanted to go to because even if you had the brightest lantern it was hard to see what was there.
"I forgot to show you this on your birthday, but today seems like the right time to show you." Yugi just stared at her friend, confused as Ryou lit a lantern before going to light candles and other lanterns all over the place. Yugi gasped. It was… magical. Treasures that her dad must've treasured deeply were down here, from old books to paintings and instruments were strewn all over the place. Even some of her mum's jewelry was down here.
"And that's not the best of it." Ryou seemed giddy as she handed a big and heavy book to Yugi. Yugi blew the dust off it to see what the title was.
'The facts and wonders of mythical creatures' was written at the top in beautiful cursive, and Yugi opened up to see that it was a diary of her mother's. Though it was old and hard to read, Yugi was able to catch parts of it and became mystified. Suddenly, a huge bang sounded above there heads. Putting the book down gently on a stool with a purple cushion on it, she followed Ryou upstairs and outside, where a woman with long blonde hair and slightly narrowed violet eyes was rubbing her head.
"Next time she summons me she better put out a cushion to fall on." The woman mumbled to herself, brushing off her white top and purple skirt. She looked around a little before she spotted Yugi and Ryou standing and gaping. She walked up to Yugi with a smile on her face as if she was an aunt seeing her niece for the first time since she was five.
"Yugi!" She said, hugging the confused girl. "It's been so long since I've seen your chubby face! Look how much you've grown!" The girl continued to fawn over Yugi until Ryou cleared her throat. The woman looked at Ryou.
"Yes?"
"Who are you?" The woman slapped her head in forgetfulness before letting go of Yugi.
"I am Mai, Anada's… Where is your mother, Yugi?" Mai asked, looking around.
"She's in the afterlife. So is father." Mai looked at Yugi, surprised, before she gave Yugi a tight hug.
"OH, I'm sooooooo sorry! If I had known I would've been here sooner to take care of you!" Mai paused for a moment before looking curiously at Yugi. "Who is looking after you?"
"Stepmother Vivian, and her daughters Tea and Rebecca. Father married her a year after mom died."
"Have they taken care of you?" Mai asked with concern.
"Ye-"
"If you call making her a servant in her own house being taken care of, then Ya, she has." Ryou interrupted. Mai looked shocked before she became livid.
"WHERE ARE THEY!" She shouted, springing up and looking around.
"Gone." Yugi answered.
"WHERE TO?"
"First, you have to answer our questions." Ryou said.
"Wait….. who are you?" Mai asked.
"I'm Ryou, and Yugi's step mom bought me from the slave market, now, who are you?"
"I am Mai, Anada's best friend and adventure partner. We destroyed demons, healed the sick, fed the hungry, conquered the wilderness, defeated the evil fairy king…. Oh, and I am the guardian angel for this little cutie." Mai pinched Yugi's baby-fat cheeks and Yugi looked up at her, curious.
"Guardian angel?"
"Didn't you read your mom's journal?" Yugi shook her head.
"It's too old and dusty to." Mai sighed.
"I'll take care of it later, now, something is troubling you two…. what?" And so, Yugi and Ryou told her about the visit to the market and the ball, how they were banned from going, etc. At the end, Mai was livid, but calmed herself down before an Idea hit her.
"What if I could get you two to the ball without being recognized?" Yugi and Ryou looked at each other before looking back at Mai.
"Can you?" Mai noded with a smile and held her hand out before a wand fell out of the air and into her hand.
"Now, I want you to go and get one of your mother's dresses, some slippers, and a piece of jewelry for each of you." When Ryou and Yugi were done, Mai waved her wand.
"Bib, Bob, Boodaloo!" magic swirled around the girls and there dresses, and when the magic was done, Mai observed her work.
Yugi wore a modest, skinny purple dress with random white designs all around it, and purple fingerless gloves were on her hands. Around her neck was the necklace-ring the man had given her. Yugi's hair was let down, long and wavy, and her lightning like bangs shone brightly. There was some kohl around her eyes, and on her feet were two purple sandals.
Ryou wore a modest, skinny baby blue dress with white flower designs around the front, and had a blue armband on her right hand. Ryou's hair was raised a little, and a small, blue and white flower was placed on the left side. Around her neck was a white choker, the only thing she owned, with a small, blue flower sketched into it. Some khol was also placed around her eyes, and upon her feet were two blue sandals. Mai then turned around and waved her wand at Marik, Malik, and Mariku, who slowly turned into horses. Mai them pointed her wand at a rock, and it became a carriage.
"Hmmmm…. There's something missing…" Mai spotted Jaden in the stables watching the whole thing with some interest and waved her wand at him. Jaden slowly turned into a boy footman, with two toned brown hair, slightly tanned skin, and brown eyes. Yugi and Ryou looked around in shock before Yugi hugged Mai.
"Oh, thank you Mai!"
"Your welcome, now hurry, into the carriage, you two!" The two girls complied as Jaden, Marik, Malik, and Mariku all got into place.
"Wait, Yugi!" Yugi looked at Mai. "My magic only lasts till the moon is at it's highest peak. Make sure to be home by then, I'll be waiting with your mother's journal." Yugi nodded before the carriage rode off toward the palace, a night of dancing awaiting awaiting the two girls.
