I Don't own YGO. I didn't get hardly any review on the last chap so even if this ends up being the final chapter I still want you guys to review this, tell me what was wrong with this story (If you say OOC I will kill you), should I do a continuation, what story I should do next, any stories I should read, couples you'd like to see, blah, blah, blah.

A Dance with a Dragon- Ch. 5 possibly the end

Serenity woke up to sunshine pouring in through her window. She glanced over to her digital clock besides her, It blinked 6:15 in large red lettering. She groaned and decided to get up and see if Mai had gone home or not. She swung her legs over the sides of the bed and slipped her feet in warm slippers that matched the pink color of her PJ's. She stretched out her arms and headed into the living room. Joey was still passed out on the couch with his butt in the air and his head tucked sideways under his arms. Serenity smirked and went into the kitchen to find Mai making scrambled eggs in a skillet. Mai was already dressed in a new outfit. She spent so much of her time with Joey at his apartment that she almost had a second wardrobe there!

"Hey kiddo, want some eggs?"

"Yeah, that sounds great. Thanks."

"Don't worry about it, hun, but just eat up before your brother smells it and eats it all!"

Serenity laughed along. But, as if Mai could tell the future, Joey was soon peering around the corner of the kitchen and asked with a hungry look on his face, " Ya made some for me, right?"

"Joey, you knucklehead, of course you can have some," Mai laughed.

"Sweet!" and with that Joey already was piling a mountain of eggs onto his plate. He didn't even bother making it to the table to eat, he just tore away at them on the counter.

"Joey, save some for Mai!" Serenity scolded.

"Oh, sforre fai," Joey said through a mouthful of eggs. Mai and Serenity both laughed at Joey until they realized that it was time to go to school. Technically, Mai had graduated a year or two earlier but she had a part time job as a school counselor, mainly to be near Joey. Serenity was supposed to be a junior, but she was so advanced that they put her in all senior classes. Joey and the rest of the gang were all seniors as well.

Mai offered to drive them both to school since they had already missed the bus. They both accepted her gracious offer and in no time they had pulled up to Domino High in her purple convertible."Danks Mai," Joey told her as he gave her a quick peck on the lips and headed to his locker.

Serenity managed to avoid both Duke and Tristan as she walked to her locker. They both had already asked her to the dance, which she respectfully declined. But now they were getting way overbearing because they obsoletely had to know who she was going with. They would find out at the dance anyway. I don't think they are going to take the news well that I'm going with Seto. Oh no! Seto! She had completely forgot to call and tell him how things went with her brother. She frantically searched for him, but she couldn't find him at his locker or by his first class. After she gave up and started to head to class she felt two hands being placed over her eyes and a familiar voice asked her, "Guess who?"

"Seto!" Serenity turned around and launched her arms around his neck.

"How come you didn't call me last night?"

"I'm sorry, it totally slipped my mind!" she told him honestly and then with excitement dripping from her voice added, "but guess what!"

"Your talking to loud?" he replied sarcastically.

"Haha. Very funny. But don't you want to know what happened?"

"I really don't care what that mutt said."

"Seto," she sighed, " Please, don't call Joey that."

"Fine. But not for him. For you."

"I can live with that. But anyways, Joey said that he is cool with us dating!"

"Really? I mean, I didn't think he'd go for it." The bell was about to ring so they both scooted off to class and slipped into there respective seats. Everyone was buzzing about the dance, 'who are you going with' or 'what does your dress look like' and 'let's all go as a group'. It made Serenity both anxious and nervous about the dance, but it made Seto on the other hand feel nauseous. He thought it was disgusting how everyone was so absorbed with the dance. It wasn't that important, was it?

Soon enough the day was over and everyone rushed to go home and get ready for the dance. It was four when school got out and the dance started at 7:00, which meant that everyone had only three hours to get ready. Serenity was about the only one who didn't go and run screaming out the door when the bell rang. She met up with Seto after her class and they talked about how crazy everyone was getting over the dance. Even levelheaded Tea had gone into such a panic attack that Yami had to take her to the school nurse. Serenity didn't want to seem like she was obsessed over the dance but there was something she had to know, "What are you wearing to the dance?"

"Probably just a black tux, why?"

"No reason, I just was wondering."

"Oh well in that case, what are you wearing?"

"I guess you'll just have to find out!" She teased as she walked away backwards and headed to her bus.

"Not even a hint?" he called out to her.

"No way!" and with that she sped up the bus steps and plopped down next to her brother. The whole ride home the bus was just absolute and utter chaos. Everyone was screaming out their plans for the dance.

"Hey Joey!" Serenity yelled above the noise, only causing everyone to grow louder, "Are you going to the dance!?"

"What?"

"Are you going to the dance?!

"YEAH! Me and Mai are coming at about 7:30."

"When?"

"7:30!!"

"OH, OKAY!" she shouted back. The ride home ended up giving Serenity a small headache. But it wasn't bad enough that she couldn't get ready fo the dance. She had gotten her dress, shoes and jewelry when she realized that she had absolutely nothing to do with her hair! Should it go up, should it go down, should it be both?! She had no idea! She had been fiddling with it for about an hour when she decided that she would just leave it down, nothing fancy. It actually looked rather nice, the way it floated around by the sash. Just then the doorbell rang and Serenity dashed to get it, nearly falling over in her high heels. She practically ripped the door off it's hinges.

"Oh, hi Mai."

"Were you expecting Kaiba?"

"Yeah, Im not sure when he is supposed to pick me up." Mai just shrugged and stepped into their tiny apartment wearing a stunning purple dress. Serenity's dress was modest. Mai's was anything but. It had practically no back, except for a few strings that criss-crossed several times. The front didn't cover much more. The front plunged into a deep V that reached to about the middle of her sternum. The bottom of the dress puffed out a little and you could see a sort of white mesh or lace underneath. Her dress reached to about mid-thigh or a little higher. She wore a purple hair clip that went with her purple and silver bracelets. Serenity's dress was elegant; Mai's was sexy. That's the best way to put it.

Just then Joey came in wearing an all black tuxedo but just because he's Joey, he wore a bright red cummerbund, " Wow, Mai! You look amazing!"

"Thanks Joey," she said but then she spotted his cummerbund, "What is that?!"

"What? You don't like it?" he said like he was so offended.

"It looks ridiculous!"

Just then, during their pre-marital spat, the doorbell rang for the second time that night. "I'll get it," Serenity offered, but Joey and Mai were too preoccupied to notice. She opened the door and found Seto there wearing a deep blue vest and a black tux jacket over it. "You look amazing," they both called out in unison. Serenity's cheeks turned a light shade of pink as Seto held her at arms length- looking over her.

"You really do look amazing," he said gaping at how beautiful one person could be, only causing her blush to deepen.

"So do you," she returned.

"So do you want to get out of here?"

"Sure. Let me just say good-bye to Joey."

A few seconds later Serenity stepped outside her apartment and looked over the railing at Seto's limo. The long black car seemed to stretch across the entire parking lot. Even a few of the residents had come out on to their balcony to see why there was a limo parked down there. Serenity felt like royalty as she stepped into the limo and it sped off towards the school. The limo pulled up to the main entrance of the school's gymnasium- the place where the dance would be held. People stopped walking and gawked at the odd couple that stepped out of the limo. Serenity could hear people whispering about them- 'why couldn't we have a limo', 'who is that girl', 'ohmygod! Its him'. Serenity stared down all the dateless girls that flung themselves at Seto. Seto just pushed them away and placed his arm around Serenity's waist as if proving that she was his date. Serenity smiled and felt like the luckiest girl ever.

Seto looked at his watch as they entered the gym. It was almost 7:30 so the dance was already in full swing. Serenity laughed as she saw Tea complaining to Yami because some other girl had the same dress as her on. Yami tried to comfort her and they ended up heading off to a dark corner somewhere.

" Let's dance," Serenity suggested. Seto agreed and his head bobbed up and down above the crowd as he lead Serenity on to the dance floor. The first couple songs had a little bit of a fast pace and Seto was a surprisingly good dancer. Serenity excused herself to get some drinks, but being the gentleman he is, Seto offered to get them both drinks. The minute he was out of sight, Duke and Tristan seemed to materialize out of nowhere.

"Wanna dance?" They asked.

"No thank you, Im already here with someone."

"WHAT?!" they seemed to share a mind link because it seemed they could talk perfectly in tune with the other.

"Actually, here he comes now," she told them. She sighed in relief as Seto approached her carrying two cups of something red. They seemed to shrink back at his presence.

"The offer is still there," Duke reminded her. They walked away, pretending like they didn't care.

"Now that that is over what do you say about some more dancing?" Seto asked. Serenity nodded and gulped down the rest of her drink. They headed back toward the dance floor and as soon as they did, the song changed to a slower one. Serenity placed her arms around his shoulders and Seto rested his hands on her waist. At first, Serentiy flinched on the contact but then it began to feel more and more natural to her. As the song progressed the two inched closer together until eventually Serenity had her head resting on Seto's chest while he wrapped his arms around her and placed his chin on the top of her head. They both swayed back and forth like that for the duration of the song, loving each others touch on their bodies. When it finally did come to an end, Seto took Serenity's hand in his own and led her outside.

"Its beautiful," Serenity gazed up at the full moon and the twinkling stars above them.

"It feels as if they are only here for us doesn't it?" He asked, but needed no answer. They began to walk towards a tree very familiar to them. Seto sat in one of the many nooks created by the winding roots of the old tree. Serenity curled up in his lap and shivered slightly at the cool breeze. Seto wrapped his arms around her as a mother would do to a small child. Serenity buried her head in his warm chest.

"Serenity?"

She looked up at him through shimmering eyes.

"I love you."

"I love you too, Seto." And they stayed like that, coddled together under the moonlight, for as long as possible. They loved each other and they always would.
