Chapter 1
A girl sat on a stool in the middle of a recording studio. She was currently tuning her guitar. There were four others.
“Hey Maria!” the girl called Comet said. “Are you ready.”
“Yes,” I said.
“Alright,” the one called Luna said.
The music started and I began to play my guitar and prepared to sing.
“Your on,” the recorder said from the other room.
I sighed the closed my eyes as I began to sing.
“I thought I knew you,
How could I have been so wrong.
Maybe you have troubles,
That you don’t know how to share,
But I know I still care.
Because I can be a friend.
You can tell me anything,
Even if it’s crazy or bad,
Even if your angry or sad,
Yes, I can be a friend.
On a still until the end,
Lose our way and try again,
I can be a friend…”
“That was great,” the recorder said.
“Thanks,” I said.
“Alright, lets do “Once Upon A December,” Meteor said.
“Yeah,” the one called Starla said.
“Alright,” I answered preparing my guitar, while the others prepared their head phones.
“Alright, in 3...2...1..” the recorder said.
“Dancing bears, Painted wings,
Things I almost remember,
And a song someone sings,
Once upon a December.
Someone holds me safe and warm,
Horses prance through a Silver Storm,
Figures dancing gracefully,
Across my memory.
Comet:
Hmmm Hmmm
Hmmm Hmmm
Meteor:
Ahhh Ahhh
Ahhh Ahhh
Someone holds me safe and warm,
Horses prance through a Silver Storm,
Figures dancing gracefully,
Across my memory.
Long Ago, Far Away
Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart used to know,
Things it yearns to Remember.
And a song someone sings,
Once upon a December…”
“Perfect,” the recorder said. “Alright that’s a wrap.”
“It’s about time,” Luna said. “We’ve been sitting here for the past four hours.”
“Isn’t it worth it,” Comet said. “We are one of the major top bands in all of Domino City, and top ten in the world.”
“I know but it’s boring still,” Luna said.
“You can’t sit still to save your life,” Starla said.
Luna stuck out her tongue at Starla.
“Knock it off you two,” Comet said.
I grinned and put my guitar on the table.
“Maria!”
I turned to see Mokaba coming towards me.
“Hey Mokaba,” I said. “What are doing here?”
“You said it was okay if I watched you practice,” he said. “And Seto said it was okay.”
“Is he here as well?” I asked feeling my heart beat faster.
I looked up as I felt a pair of eyes watching me. My eyes locked with Kaiba’s.
“Hello Kaiba,” I said. He nodded his head.
My cheerfulness quickly disappeared. Kaiba wasn’t normally cold around me. Mokaba noticed I wasn’t as cheerful and got an idea.
“Maria, I need help on a mythology project,” Mokaba asked. “You have more knowledge that’s true about dragons, unicorns, and other mythological beast. Could you come over and help me.
“Sure,” I said.
“Hey Maria!” Comet yelled from the doorway.
“What?” I said.
“Need a ride?” Starla asked.
“Uh, no,” I said. “You guys go ahead.”
“You sure?” Meteor said.
“Yeah,” I said turning and walking back on the stage.
“Maria you were great,” Mokaba said getting on the stage.
I smiled at him, “Thanks.”
“Seto thought so too,” he said.
Seto jumped as Mokaba mentioned that he liked it. I looked at him.
“Isn’t that right Seto,” Mokaba said.
“I did like it,” he said looking away.
I felt joy fill me when I noticed he still felt the same way about me, that I did about him. I was about to say something when… The doors flew open and a man in a black suit came in.
“Maria!” he growled.
“Kentoni,” I said with venom in my voice.
“You better keep your damn brother off my back,” Kentoni growled.
“Why should I,” I said.
“He’s been trying to send spies into my company,” he growled.
“Haha,” I laughed. “You call that junk museum a company.”
“Laugh all you want, but keep your brother in his place,” he growled.
“Not my concern,” I said turning away.
“Maria!” he growled.
“Look my brother and I haven’t exactly been on speaking terms,” I growled. “I’m not about to go and convince him to call back his men. Besides if he’s sending his men out, he suspects your up to something concerning the warriors.”
I eyed him as he winced.
“I’m not up to anything,” he growled. “If you remember, I signed the peace treaty with you and your friends. I am a man of honor, I would not break that treaty.”
I nodded, because I did know that he was a man of his word.
“If that is the case then I will try to find out why,” I said. “I’ll let you know what I find out.”
Kentoni nodded, then turned and left. Rolling my eyes I sighed.
“Looks like Jarkar’s causing trouble again,” a voice in my head said.
“Don’t start Silverbolt,” I answered back looking up to the huge falcon part eagle bird, that was invisible to all but my eyes at the moment.
“he…he,” Silverbolt laughed.
“If you don’t want to be turned into roast chicken,” I growled using my mind.
“I’m going, I’m going,” Silverbolt said flying towards the window. “Shesh.”
I sighed, then smiled, turning back to Kaiba and Mokaba.
“Hey Maria,” Mokaba said. “Can you sing that song “Once Upon A December” again.”
“Mokaba, you’ve already heard it,” Kaiba said.
“But, Seto,” Mokaba whined. “I want to hear just Maria.”
“It’s alright,” I said. I looked at Mokaba, “Alright, I’ll sing “Once Upon A December.”
Picking up my guitar and started to play sing.
“Dancing bears, Painted wings,
Things I almost remember,
And a song someone sings,
Once upon a December.
Someone holds me safe and warm,
Horses prance through a Silver Storm,
Figures dancing gracefully,
Across my memory.
Hmmm Hmmm
Hmmm Hmmm
Ahhh Ahhh
Ahhh Ahhh
Someone holds me safe and warm,
Horses prance through a Silver Storm,
Figures dancing gracefully,
Across my memory.
Long Ago, Far Away
Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart used to know,
Things it yearns to Remember.
And a song someone sings…,
Once upon a December…”
“You’re a great singer,” Mokaba said.
Kaiba was also amazed, that he had let his guard down.
“Thanks Mokaba,” I said. I looked at the clock. “It’s late, I have to close the studio.”
I stood up and put my guitar away.
“I help,” Mokaba said.
“You don’t have to,” I said.
“It’s okay,” Mokaba said putting Comet’s guitar away.
I smiled and started to pick the drums up when I felt the other end get picked up. I looked and saw Kaiba helping.
“Thanks Kaiba,” I said.
Even though he didn’t show any emotion, I knew he was smiling on the inside. I seemed to know these things, mostly because I was his girlfriend. He didn’t show his emotions much, mostly around Mokaba, or around me when it was just the two of us alone.
**** ****
The three of us walked out of the studio. Mokaba got into the limo that was waiting, but Kaiba remained outside.
“You don’t have a ride do you,“ he said.
I looked at him, “I’ll be fine walking.” I looked at the sky.
“I’ll give you a ride,” he said.
I looked at him, “Thanks…Seto.” I got in leaving him stunned. But then he smiled slightly and got in.
**** ****
Mokaba was asleep by the we reached my house. Kaiba walked with me to the door.
“Why did you look so surprised at me calling you Seto,” I asked mischievously. “You did tell me on our little moonlight date at the lake I could call you by it.”
“You haven’t said it much since then,” he said.
“Well, you and I haven’t be alone since then for me to say it without Joey or the others embarrassing you,” I said blushing.
He looked at me.
“Seto?” Mokaba poked his head out of the limo.
“I’ll be right there Mokaba,” Kaiba said.
“See you tomorrow Seto,” I said. Then before he could do or say anything I kissed his cheek and shot into the house.
He stood startled for a minute looking at the closed door then went back to the limo.
**** ****
I watched from the window as the limo drove away, gazing dreamily after it.
“Welcome back,” a voice said.
I looked over at Jakar.
“Hey Jakar,” I said.
Jakar was my older brother, he was nine years older than me.
“Where’s Kila?” I asked.
Kila was my younger sister, she was four years younger than me.
“She’s not back from her friend’s house yet,” he said. “What do you want for dinner?”
“It doesn’t matter,” I answered as he went into the kitchen.
The three of us lived together. Our father and mother were dead. Sighing I looked out the window, Kila was coming up the sidewalk.
“Hey there,” I said as she opened the door and walked in.
“Hi big sis,” she said. “Was the studio closed early.”
“Yeah,” I said. “Just for today.”
Normally I would stay and practice at the studio. Mostly because that was my job. I was a singer and had a band called the Starlights. I was also the part owner of Dual Fantasy Island. Jakar was the top business owner of Star City. It was named after our family. We moved to Domino City so the three of us could be together. Kila needed to go to school and Domino was one of the best cities with high tech schools. I went to the high school, Domino High. I was in all of Kaiba’s classes.
“What’s for dinner?” Kila asked placing her backpack on the couch.
“Ask Jakar,” I said looking out the window.
“Were having rice and tacos,” Jakar said from the kitchen.
I yawned and laid back against the couch. I closed my eyes and fell into sleep.
**** ****
“Hey Maria, dinner,” Jakar called from the kitchen.
Yawning I stood up and went into the kitchen. Sitting down I grabbed a taco.
“Oh, I almost forgot,” I looked at Jakar. “Kentoni came into the studio pissed today. What are you up to?”
“Oh, that,” Jakar chuckled. “I don’t know why he brought you into it. We’ve been pissing each other off a lot. It’s become a routine between us. He must really be tired of it to go to you.”
“Well, whatever,” I said. “Just knock it off, I don’t like people just barging into the studio.”
“Mmm,” Jakar chuckled.
“Shut up,” I snapped, my eyes flashing.
“By the way,” Jakar said. “Who’s limo was that outside earlier?”
“Oh,” I eyed him. “It was Kaiba’s.”
“Yeah, your boyfriend,” Kila giggled.
I turned on her.
“Boyfriend?” Jakar said seriously.
“Don’t start with that lecture crap,” I growled. “It’s not up to you who my boyfriend is or not.”
“Maria,” Jakar said. “How long have you two been going out,” he said seriously.
“A year,” I said.
“Maria…” he said.
“Drop it,” I said getting up. I placed my plate on the sink and headed up the stairs.
**** ****
Slamming my door shut, I went over to my radio and turned it on. One of my favorite songs were playing, “It’s My Life”. I sat down on my windowsill and watched the stars in the sky. I could easily make out different shapes. I saw regular planetary constellations, but I also saw shapes of many other creatures. I could make out the shape of unicorns, cats, wolves, different birds, and even ones that looked like humans. I didn’t notice that the images in my head were turning to a certain handsome brownish gold haired teenager only a year older than me.
“Whoa,” I shook my head. “Where did that come from.”
Though it wa true that Kaiba was my boyfriend. We didn’t really act like boyfriend and girlfriend when others were around. His pride and honor would be injured especially when Joey, probably, wouldn’t keep his mouth shut.
“Oohh,” sighing I looked out the window. “Oh Kaiba, you and your damn pride.”
Sometimes I wished that he wouldn’t let his pride get in the way when he’s around me, even if Yugi and his friends were around. But then it was that stubbornness and pride that I had learned to love. I knew that deep in my heart I didn’t want anything to change.
A star suddenly streaked across the sky. I closed my eyes and made a wish on the star that Kaiba would get the courage to ask me out on another date.
*ring ring*
“Hello,” I said picking up the phone.
** “Hello Maria,” came Kaiba’s voice. **
I felt my heart enter my throat.
“Hi Kaiba,” I said, thanking god I didn’t stutter.
** “You don’t have plans tomorrow, do you?” he asked. **
“No,” I said sitting down.
** “Mokaba was wondering if you could come over tomorrow and take him to theme park,” he said. **
“Is it really Mokaba wanting to come or you wanting to be with me, eh Seto,” I teased playfully.
** silence on the other line **
“Sure, I’ll pick you guys up around 11:00 tomorrow morning,” I said. “And Seto, you don’t have to hide your feelings from me.”
I could almost picture him frozen on the other line.
“Goodnight Seto,” I said lovingly.
** He chuckled lightly, barely audible* “Goodnight Maria,” he said. **
Smiling and feeling happy I hung up and collapsed on my bed grinning like a Cheshire Cat.”
*knock knock*
“Come in,” I yelled.
“Maria who was that on the phone?” Jakar asked coming in, he stopped when he saw the glowing look on my face.
“It was Kaiba,” I said. “Mokaba, his little brother, wants to visit Dual Fantasy Island.”
“Maria…” Jakar started.
“Uh, Oh,” I thought. “Here comes the boyfriend lecture.”
“Don’t start with your lectures,” I said.
“Maria you deserve someone who will treat you better than him,” he said. “You’ve been moping around for months and it’s because he’s never returned or shown any feelings.”
“How do you know!” I snapped.
“Kila told me,” he said.
“That brat!” I thought.
“Jakar, Kaiba isn’t one to express feelings openly in front of others,” I suddenly got a dreamy look. “But…all this time I’ve been with him, I’ve seen emotions others are unable to spot.”
“Maria,” Jakar said.
“Jakar listen,” I said. “Kaiba may not show it, but I know he cares about me, because…he has already told me that he will never let anything happen to me."
Jakar stayed silent, “he said that.”
“Yes,” I looked out the window. “He has promised me that and I know with all my heart he would.”
“He promised that, what would have happened for him to promise that,” Jakar thought.
“I hope he doesn’t ask what happened, how could I ever tell him about Dualist Island and helping Kaiba free Mokaba,” I thought.
I had also helped Kaiba by getting in the way of Pegasus’s Millennium Eye. It was after we had been released from the cards, that I told him my feelings. In his own way he had told me he had feelings for me.
Kaiba and I had been going out for a year since then. He was still mostly the same Kaiba everyone knew, but there were times when he showed his emotions, mostly around Mokaba. But, he did show his emotions, a little, when he was around me. After how long I’ve known him I’ve been able to tell his emotions even when he wasn’t showing them.
Jakar noticed I had gone into another daydream so he waved a hand in front of me.
I blinked and looked up at him.
“Goodnight, Don’t stay up too late,” he said walking towards the door.
“Night,” I said. “and Jakar…”
“Hmm,” he said looking at me.
“Thanks…for understanding,” I said lying on my bed and pulling up the covers.
“Your welcome…” he said softly as he turned the lights off and left.
I sighed as I heard the door close. I closed my eyes, looking forward to tomorrow.

Jakar was my older brother, he was nine years older than me.
“Where’s Kila?” I asked.
Kila was my younger sister, she was four years younger than me.

“Well, whatever,” I said. “Just knock it off, I don’t like people just barging into the studio.”
“Mmm,” Jakar chuckled.
“Shut up,” I snapped, my eyes flashing.
“By the way,” Jakar said. “Who’s limo was that outside earlier?”
“Oh,” I eyed him. “It was Kaiba’s.”
“Yeah, your boyfriend,” Kila giggled.
I turned on her.
“Boyfriend?” Jakar said seriously.
“Don’t start with that lecture crap,” I growled. “It’s not up to you who my boyfriend is or not.”
“Maria,” Jakar said. “How long have you two been going out,” he said seriously.
“A year,” I said.
“Maria…” he said.
“Drop it,” I said getting up. I placed my plate on the sink and headed up the stairs.

Slamming my door shut, I went over to my radio and turned it on. One of my favorite songs were playing, “It’s My Life”. I sat down on my windowsill and watched the stars in the sky. I could easily make out different shapes. I saw regular planetary constellations, but I also saw shapes of many other creatures. I could make out the shape of unicorns, cats, wolves, different birds, and even ones that looked like humans. I didn’t notice that the images in my head were turning to a certain handsome brownish gold haired teenager only a year older than me.
“Whoa,” I shook my head. “Where did that come from.”
Though it wa true that Kaiba was my boyfriend. We didn’t really act like boyfriend and girlfriend when others were around. His pride and honor would be injured especially when Joey, probably, wouldn’t keep his mouth shut.
“Oohh,” sighing I looked out the window. “Oh Kaiba, you and your damn pride.”
Sometimes I wished that he wouldn’t let his pride get in the way when he’s around me, even if Yugi and his friends were around. But then it was that stubbornness and pride that I had learned to love. I knew that deep in my heart I didn’t want anything to change.
A star suddenly streaked across the sky. I closed my eyes and made a wish on the star that Kaiba would get the courage to ask me out on another date.
*ring ring*
“Hello,” I said picking up the phone.
** “Hello Maria,” came Kaiba’s voice. **
I felt my heart enter my throat.
“Hi Kaiba,” I said, thanking god I didn’t stutter.
** “You don’t have plans tomorrow, do you?” he asked. **
“No,” I said sitting down.
** “Mokaba was wondering if you could come over tomorrow and take him to theme park,” he said. **
“Is it really Mokaba wanting to come or you wanting to be with me, eh Seto,” I teased playfully.
** silence on the other line **
“Sure, I’ll pick you guys up around 11:00 tomorrow morning,” I said. “And Seto, you don’t have to hide your feelings from me.”
I could almost picture him frozen on the other line.
“Goodnight Seto,” I said lovingly.
** He chuckled lightly, barely audible* “Goodnight Maria,” he said. **
Smiling and feeling happy I hung up and collapsed on my bed grinning like a Cheshire Cat.”
*knock knock*
“Come in,” I yelled.
“Maria who was that on the phone?” Jakar asked coming in, he stopped when he saw the glowing look on my face.
“It was Kaiba,” I said. “Mokaba, his little brother, wants to visit Dual Fantasy Island.”
“Maria…” Jakar started.
“Uh, Oh,” I thought. “Here comes the boyfriend lecture.”
“Don’t start with your lectures,” I said.
“Maria you deserve someone who will treat you better than him,” he said. “You’ve been moping around for months and it’s because he’s never returned or shown any feelings.”
“How do you know!” I snapped.
“Kila told me,” he said.
“That brat!” I thought.
“Jakar, Kaiba isn’t one to express feelings openly in front of others,” I suddenly got a dreamy look. “But…all this time I’ve been with him, I’ve seen emotions others are unable to spot.”
“Maria,” Jakar said.
“Jakar listen,” I said. “Kaiba may not show it, but I know he cares about me, because…he has already told me that he will never let anything happen to me."
Jakar stayed silent, “he said that.”
“Yes,” I looked out the window. “He has promised me that and I know with all my heart he would.”
“He promised that, what would have happened for him to promise that,” Jakar thought.
“I hope he doesn’t ask what happened, how could I ever tell him about Dualist Island and helping Kaiba free Mokaba,” I thought.
I had also helped Kaiba by getting in the way of Pegasus’s Millennium Eye. It was after we had been released from the cards, that I told him my feelings. In his own way he had told me he had feelings for me.
Kaiba and I had been going out for a year since then. He was still mostly the same Kaiba everyone knew, but there were times when he showed his emotions, mostly around Mokaba. But, he did show his emotions, a little, when he was around me. After how long I’ve known him I’ve been able to tell his emotions even when he wasn’t showing them.
Jakar noticed I had gone into another daydream so he waved a hand in front of me.
I blinked and looked up at him.
“Goodnight, Don’t stay up too late,” he said walking towards the door.
“Night,” I said. “and Jakar…”
“Hmm,” he said looking at me.
“Thanks…for understanding,” I said lying on my bed and pulling up the covers.
“Your welcome…” he said softly as he turned the lights off and left.
I sighed as I heard the door close. I closed my eyes, looking forward to tomorrow.
