Hello guys! Sorry for the wait! haha! won't keep you waiting. Bc this is what y'all been waitin' for isn't it? Lol.

DIZCLAIMER: Nope. Don't expect anything.


IF MAI HADN'T BEENso distracted by the footage Yugi borrowed from Mokuba, she would have kissed him. As soon as Yugi got home, he decided to call Mai (which luckily she answered this time) and told her the great news: Mokuba let Yugi borrow the security video of that fateful night.

Mai's large violet eyes waited in anticipation as she and Yugi waited for the footage to load on Yugi's computer. Mai couldn't believe it, why didn't she think of this sooner? How could it have never occurred to her to look at the place where it all started?

"I think…" Yugi said after a few seconds, "It's loaded…"

Mai held her breath. The moment of truth…

Friday, 10:45 pm.

The camera was placed at the corner of the ceiling inside Kaiba's mansion in the dining hall, giving the footage's an eagle's eye view.

The screen displayed some people standing ant talking, others sitting and drinking.

"Where am I?" Mai muttered after a few seconds. Yugi scanned his eyes on the crowd in the screen, after a few moments pointed to the screen and said, "There's me," Screen Yugi was sitting on Kaiba's sofa talking to Screen Anzu, Jonouchi and Honda. They seemed to be having a good time.

The real Yugi watched at Screen Yugi laughed, Screen Honda seemed to have been telling a joke. Screen Anzu was struggling to not spill her fruit punch.

Mai nodded, of course Yugi would be easiest to find, with his unusual colored spiky hair.

"Ok," Mai began, "If you're there…then I must be nearby,"

They both continued to scan across the crowd, "There I am!" Mai said cheerfully, as she pointed at the screen. Screen Mai stood a few feet away from Screen Yugi, Anzu, Jonouchi and Honda. Screen Mai took a drink from her punch as she was what appeared to be listening intently to Screen Bakura.

"So Bakura was the first person I've spoken to that night," Mai said. Yugi nodded.

"There's Kaiba and Mokuba," Yugi pointed at the screen. Sure enough, Screen Kaiba and Screen Mokuba stood at the other corner of the room, looking around, greeting and giving small chats to people who walked by. A few minutes later, Screen Shizuka came to the Screen Kaiba brothers and said a few words. Screen Kaiba nodded and Screen Shizuka bowed and walked away.

"Can you fast forward this?" Mai asked, "I think I've spent almost an hour talking to Bakura,"

Yugi nodded and fast forward, Screen Ryuji comes into the scene, he immediately spots Screen Shizuka and begins to talk to her. Screen Mai and Screen Bakura is now talking with Yugi and his gang.

Yugi fast-forward, Screen Mai is later seen drinking punch and talking to Screen Kaiba. Screen Ryuji is now with Screen Yugi and the gang. Screen Mokuba and Screen Shizuka were nowhere to be seen.

Mai glanced at the clock according to the security footage; it read that it was 12:59am. Come on, Mai prayed, tell me what did I do next?

Screen Mai is now being seen talking to Screen Honda. Fast-forward, Screen Mai was seen talking to Jonouchi. Fast-forward some more, Screen Mai was seen talking to Ryuji. Fast-forward and hour later, Screen Mai was seen talking with Yugi. Fast-forward, Screen Kaiba and Screen Mokuba came inside the dining hall bring in their security dogs, kicking everyone out.

To Yugi and Mai's surprise, the footage ended.

"What?!" Mai exclaimed, "That can't be it!"

Oh, but it was. The screen went all dark.

Mai turned to Yugi, "Are you sure this is the whole clip?" Yugi nodded, in disbelief, "Of course," he reassured her, "I mean, look at the time it stopped,"

Yugi rewind the clip to the very last minute, which was 3:13am. "That was when Kaiba was kicking everyone out of his mansion,"

"And the party ended," Mai finished.

"This was the only copy Kaibacorp had, so this is it." Yugi said.

Mai shook her head, "No!" tears of frustration were running down her cheeks, "This can't be it! I've…I've taken care of myself my whole life! I would never anything stupid as… as…" she gestured to her body and covered her face. Mai was trying to hold back tears.

Mai never let anyone see her cry, because she didn't want anyone to know that she was a weak person. This was her last chance it seems. Her last chance it seems to find out what had happened that night. But the clip showed nothing. Nothing happened that night.

Yugi placed his hand on Mai's shoulder, "Mai…" Yugi began, but he had nothing to say. He couldn't say, 'It was going to be alright', because what was alright about this? Getting pregnant, and not knowing who the father is? He couldn't say, 'I'm sorry' because what was there to be sorry about? Yugi had no idea what Mai was going through.

Probably no one does.

"Mai…" Yugi said softly, as he saw Mai trying so hard to hold back her tears, "It's ok to cry you know,"

Mai blinked in surprise. She realized that this was Yugi in front of her. If there was anyone she could cry in front of, it was only Yugi and Jonouchi. Yugi wouldn't tell a soul. Yugi wouldn't laugh or make fun of her. He would only stay by her side.

Mai began to cry.

Yugi could only pat her shoulder, encouraging her to let it all out.

After several minutes of crying, Mai finally calmed down. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand and asked, "What am I going to do now?"

"You know you can count on me," Yugi said, "I'll still take care of your kid. Even if the baby is not mine. I'll be the father, don't worry Mai!"

Mai shook her head, "Yugi," Mai began, "you shouldn't…"

But Yugi was getting all warmed up, "No, Mai, really! We can all pinch in! And we could be the family for your kid!"

Mai was crying again, "Yugi…" She hiccupped, "You really are the best…"

Yugi smiled, "That's what friends are for," he said.
