"As a matter of fact I did. Varon was with him so I didn't worry too much."

"B-But Seto wanted them to come to the c-castle to play after that."

"So, what happened?" Yami asked.

"The next thing I know Muran showed up with seven girls. Believe me I was surprised that they were all girls. But they were Mokuba's friends so I didn't question it."

"Seto, can we get some c-c-cot…" Mokuba struggled to say it and was getting more and more frustrated at not being able to get it out.

"It's okay kiddo. Do you think you can spell it?" Seto asked.

Mokuba thought for a moment then bent down and picked up a stick and wrote in the dirt coton. Mokuba continued to sound it out in his head and wasn't sure if he'd spelled it right.

Seto marked another T in Mokuba's word. "It has two T's in it."

"Why do you want cotton?" Maura asked.

Mokuba sighed. He was upset with himself for not being able to say what it was he wanted.

Seto had an idea of what it was Mokuba wanted but could tell the poor kid was mad at himself at not being able to say what he wanted. "Here kiddo try it this way cot."

"C-c-c-cot."

"Cot-ton."

C-c-cot-t-ton."

"Very good."

Mokuba smiled and he loved it when Seto praised him.

"Now cotton what?"

"C-candy."

"Now can you put the two words together?"

"Seto the kids tried, no need to torture him more."

Seto glared at him. "I'm trying to help him."

"Any other time I wouldn't argue with you. But you can work with him more on the words at home. You got him to say it, let's just get it and move on. The longer you spend trying to help him say it the less time we get to spend having fun."

Seto sighed. "You're right."

"What is cotton candy?" Maura asked.

That also got Yami to wonder. "Mokuba, who told you about cotton candy?"

Mokuba smiled. "A f-friend."

No one questioned it. They all assumed it was Muran or one of the others.

"Okay, then let's go get some cotton candy." Seto said, taking Mokuba's hand.

Noah and Shimon were trying to decide what to do next.

"I say we try the snow slide." Shimon said.

"Naw, I'd rather take that boat and row around the river."

"Let's do it."

So they rented a boat and were rowing around the river.

"Noah, were you serious about wanting me to try JJ?"

"Of course I was. In fact that will be the perfect thing to get you for your birthday. You're going to be 17 right?"

"16. But if you ask my mom it's 6."

"No, kidding. I'll be 16 next year and she still treats me like I was 5. Now with JJ gone we're having to do a lot more things. But not too much. She thinks I'm fragile and will break."

"Noah, were you serious when you told me you really tried him?"

Noah smiled. "Yes, I did. I swear to you he tasted really good. You'll love it."

"I don't know I mean I never really you know thought that hard on actually you know going all the way with anyone."

"You never thought about it."

"I said I never thought all that hard. Of course I've thought of it. But I guess I always thought it'd be with a girl our age, not a boy. Especially one who's still a little kid. Beside wouldn't that be I don't know rape?"

"It might be considered that if you didn't pleasure the brat too. It's not bad to give pleasure. When you hear the sounds he makes knowing he's enjoying it makes you even harder. I don't care what anyone tells you. If the brat didn't enjoy himself then I'd agree with you, it'd be rape. But considering they will enjoy it as much as you do you can't consider that a rape."

Shimon wasn't so sure but he had to admit that Noah had a point.

"Look, the kid is nothing. You can think of him as a tester. This way when the real thing comes along male or female you won't be inexperienced. You won't look like a complete idiot not knowing what to do. You'll have at least a little knowledge and your partner will be impressed that you're not a virgin."

"I guess so." Shimon said, unsure. He was still questioning about whether or not it would be rape.

"Look if the brat gets hurt in the process, who cares; you'll get what you want. If you only worry about him then you won't get any pleasure out of it. By worrying about whether or not the brat truly enjoys it or not gets you nowhere. You did have a girl in mind when you mentioned it didn't you?"

"Maybe." Shimon said blushing.

"Well look at it this way if you ever get that far with her at least she won't think of you as a total loser. Since you already had practice it'll impress her."

At that Shimon smiled all doubts about rape vanished. "Hey I never thought of it like that!"

"Look, I didn't get the brat for my birthday but since yours is just next week I'll get him for yours."

"How do you plan to do that? You told me the people who kidnapped him, adopted him and live in the castle. Just how do you plan to get him and wouldn't that be kidnapping?"

"Would you stop worrying about everything and let me deal with it? Just pretend the brat is a doll and not real and you'll be fine."

"If you say so. I won't argue with you anymore."

"Good, leave everything to me."

'Soon we'll both have what we want. I'll finally get to do more than just taste him! I really wish I had had the desire to try him a few years ago. I would have had more than one opportunity! But no the desire to actually try him only hit about the middle of last year, oh well I will have my way with him eventually. Mark my words JJ, you and I will go all the way. One way or another, even if Shimon chickens out and backs out. I won't!
