Maura took Mokuba upstairs and looked into his closet and was surprised to see he only had one real fancy formal outfit and one semi casual formal outfit. Though the casual one was nice looking she knew what Mahaado would expect. And that would be perfection. So she took the fancy formal out and though she really wished there was more to choose from as she was afraid it might be too fancy she knew it'd be better than the casual. So she handed it to Mokuba then didn't find any shoes to go with it. He had two pairs of tennis shoes and two pairs of boots, but no dress shoes. So she chose a pair of the boots she didn't think they'd look bad and hoped Mahaado wouldn't notice.

"Alright, after you finish here open your door to let me know you're ready."

Mokuba nodded. Maura was satisfied he understood and shut the door as she left. She didn't have to guess what she would wear, she would wear what she had on. She just had to fix her hair and change shoes. She went back and found the door open and Mokuba was dressed…sorta. He had the pants on and his head in the top but his arms seemed stuck half way. Maura shook her head and calmly helped him get his hands through. She wasn't sure if he should really wear the cape since it was so long. It pooled around the floor. She first pulled down the shirt, since it almost went to his knees. Then she pulled it down, then fluffed it out and put his belt on. Then decided against the cape. If they were going out in public then she'd put it on him, but since they were staying in she felt it might look strange. So she put it back on the hanger and laid it on the bed.

"Okay put your boots on and then let me fix your hair."

Maura got a brush and started his hair as soon as he had his boots on. After a lot of whining, she finally got all of the knots out of his hair. She was happy as he finally stopped crying out at every turn. When she deemed him ready they went to the family room. Not knowing how long they'd be she found a nice looking book and sat down and read it aloud to Mokuba.

Mokuba was surprised when she started reading out loud. But didn't argue and settled in to listen.

Meanwhile while Yami was getting dressed he thought about where Seto had said Mokuba was.

'He said Mokuba was still at Yugi's. But I don't understand. I was with Yugi for a little over half an hour. So why, why did Yugi lie to me?' Then suddenly something Yugi had said hit him, "Well you wanted to try your finding spell, why haven't you offered to use it to help Mokuba?"

'Could it be?' Yami wondered. 'Could that be why Mokuba stayed with Yugi, to do what I should have and helped him get his baby dragon back?' He sat on the bed almost dressed only needing to put on his belt when there was a knock on the door startling him out of his thoughts. "Come in."

Seto frowned, it wasn't like Yami to be so late in getting ready. He opened the door to find him sitting on the bed. "What is wrong with you? We still have to check on the kids and even if they're ready to go we have to get to the dining hall before Mahaado does."

Yami snapped out of his daze and put his belt on mumbling, "Right." Then he looked up and asked, "Yugi gave Mokuba back his baby dragon, didn't he? That's why he was with Yugi!"

"Didn't I tell you we'd finish discussing this later?" But then seeing the look in Yami's eye he finally said, "Yes, happy."

"But I was with him for over a half an hour! Why didn't he say anything?!"

"First off if you two didn't find that spell in that time, then I may kill you both and second I can only assume he kept quiet because he knew you hurt him and that's also why Mokuba obviously stayed hidden from you. I'd lay odds that Yugi had nothing to do with the boy's hiding. I'd bet he hid the moment he heard you were at the door!"

"You think so?"

"What do you think? You betray him, by lying to him and then it's not till later you realize gee could he be upset that I took Maura rock hunting and refused to let him go!"

Yami sighed deflated. Yeah he still hated himself for that.

"This was why I wanted to wait to finish this conversation. Now we're not only going to be late but you will be depressed the rest of the night, which might affect everyone, especially the kids."

"No it's fine Seto, I promise. I won't let this affect me."

'Yeah right.' Seto thought. "Fine then let's go."

They walked into the family room and Seto had to admit that even without the time crunch Maura did a good job.

"Good, you're both ready. Let's go."

"Um, Seto, may, may I ask a favor in return?" Maura asked.

Seto was weary but said, "Let's hear it." Not agreeing or disagreeing to this favor yet.

"Uh, well can…can I call you big brother?"

"We've been over this, I told you my answer."

"I, I know, but please, just through dinner? To make Mahaado think you really want me here!"
