New year's eve. The day that'll change everything. Seto had been playing his little scenario over and over again in his head. They all had dressed up and were getting ready to go to the big party in the middle of Domino City. Anzu and her friends went every year, the head maid often took Mokuba but Seto hadn't gone in years. When they arrived Mokuba ran off with some children from school and Anzu dragged Seto to were the boys were stood.
"Ah! Kaiba-san, I didn't expect to see you hear." Said Bakura with a big grin. "Anzu-chan really is magic."

Seto didn't much like Bakura, he crept him out a little. He sat back and watched Anzu laugh and joke with her friends, it was a different kind of happy than when they were alone together or with Mokuba. He decided he didn't mind this, if it had been with any other guys he may have been a little bit jealous. He reached into his inner pocket in his jacket and felt the small box; it was reassuring knowing her gift as there. Though, he felt before he could give it to her there was something he needed to do.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned near her ear. "Anzu-chan" he kissed her ear. "There's something I've got to do, it'll only take five minutes okay?" She rolled her eyes and kissed him on the cheek in agreement. He walked past the group and tugged on Yugi's sleeve as he walked past. Yugi excused himself and walked off in the same direction as Seto, he found him stood in the parking lot.
"We're going to the grave yard; I need to speak to you." Seto opened the car door to let him in.

The two of them drove there in silence, Yugi felt nervous. 'What does Seto want with me; he doesn't seem angry, why the grave yard?' When they arrived Seto lead him in the dark straight to Anzu's father's grave, it was as if he had made this trip a million times. He sat down on a nearby bench and invited Yugi to sit with him. "Hello Mr Mazaki, it's been a little while. I bet you're surprised I'm here with Yugi-san."

Yugi was taken aback by the informal-ness, he just sat and listened to the conversation Seto was having with the grave stone. "Yugi-san. I brought you hear because without Mr Mazaki being around and Anzu-chan not having a brother you're the next best thing." Seto dug into his pocket and pulled out a small box and opened it. Yugi went into shock to see the content.

"So you're going to-"
"Yes. I never thought I'd ever say this but Yugi Muto, do I have your approval?"
"Of course" Yugi grinned from ear to ear.

The two of them made their way back to the party, it was gone 11. Seto had filled Yugi in on the full plan and was going to use Yugi to keep the night running smoothly. They arrived to find a concerned looking group with an angry Anzu in front.
"Five minutes you said! You two idiots have been gone for about a half hour! Where did you go?" she had her hands on her hips and stared the two of them down.
Two boys looked at each other, then at Anzu and smiled. She bopped them both on the head. "Bakas"

The night rolled on until it was five minutes to midnight. Mokuba came running back over to them.
"Onii-san! Can we go on the Ferris wheel again this year?"
The group looked in shock. To get on that Ferris wheel at midnight when the fireworks went off was a nightmare, you would have needed to be queuing all night. It seems they'd forgotten who gave the money for it to be fixed when it blew up a few years ago. He led the group around the back of the wheal they split into two groups:
Seto, Anzu, Yugi and Mokuba in one,
Jonouchi, Honda and Bakura in the other.

When two empty carts came to the bottom they were allowed in the back way of them. They all were settling down, moments before it moved again.
"Ah! Mokuba-kun! We left the camera with Jonouchi-kun!" Shouted Yugi, jumping into the other cart dragging Mokuba with him.
Before they could get out of the other cart it started moving, leaving Seto and Anzu alone, perfect.

By the time they got to the top it would have been midnight, they could see the big clock from the window. Anzu sat leaning against the window. When it was one minute to go she started counting. It gave Seto a chance to prepare himself. One shot. One chance to make this perfect. The others could see him pulling a little box out his pocket. When the carts stopped at the top they lost interest in the count down and all sat there watching what they were doing through the window.

"Anzu-chan you know how much I love you"
"I love you too Seto-kun?"

He got on one knee.
Anzu froze.

"So many people say 'What do you give the man who has everything'"

"To have you would be to have everything, so Anzu Mazaki,"

"Will you marry me?"

Anzu let out a shriek that would have been herd by the whole town. She threw herself at Seto and started crying. "Yes, yes, yes, yes.." She trailed on. They sheared a long passionate kiss before he placed the ring on her finger. It had a huge diamond in the middle and it was surrounded by smaller sapphires on a gold band, it fitted perfectly. She could hear the boys erupting in the next cart. She jumped up and put the hand with the ring on next to the window. They tried shouting at her but all she could hear were the roars of the fireworks.

The weeks turned to months. All the planning and such were being done by a whole team of people. They only thing that ever had Anzu worried was the press. Constantly having to dodge journalists, she decided she would agree to speak to one and only one. They could ask her one question. They grabbed her coming out of a café with Mokuba.

"Miss Mazaki! Miss Mazaki! We have to ask. From class mate to nanny to girlfriend to fiancé, how did you get Seto Kaiba's heart?"

"Well that's an easy one," she said wrapping an arm around Mokuba. "It's all perks of the job."
