The group was hurriedly getting ready for the party. "I hope Joey and Mokuba made it to the KaibaCorp building already," Tea said as she finished setting up a table full of munchies.
"God, there's enough food here to feed Joey for----thirty minutes," Tristan said, looking at all the chip bags and cookie boxes and soft drinks. "But it should be enough for the party."
"I hope so," Yugi said, walking up carrying several packages of paper plates and plastic cups. They all pitched in to set up the plates and cups and tie up a few loose ends. Finally, everything appeared to be in order, and all three of them sat down on the ground, exhausted from carrying stuff and setting up. Duelists were already beginning to arrive and migrate to the food.
"Let's see," Tea said thoughtfully, looking down at her watch. "Well, it's 6:55. Almost showtime." She looked up at the TV screens, which were as yet dark and blank. "I hope this turns out."
"Me too," Tristan said. "By the way, have you seen our guests of honor at all since they left?"
"No, I haven't," Tea replied. "Have you, Yugi?"
"Not since they left us to walk around." Yugi looked a bit worried.
"Holy shit, I hope they walk back around here." Tea's hands began to shake nervously, and she twiddled a pencil to get them to quit.
"Surely they will," Tristan reassured Tea. "Joey's famous for pumping up the bass on songs, and that beat will probably be broadcast all over Domino because of it." As if on cue, Joey and Mokuba's images appeared on the TV screens.
"Yo, Battle City! This is DJ Joey coming to you live from---uh, KaibaCorp's office building!" Joey struck a dramatic pose on the screen, and Mokuba, standing behind and just to his side, rolled his eyes and stepped forward.
"And I'm Mokuba. Yeah, I may be the little bro, but tonight I've got a big surprise for my big brother. This is to celebrate----well, maybe he'll show up and you'll see what we're celebrating."
"All right, first song I'm going to play is a classic, baby," Joey said, smiling as he prepared the CD. "You guys all better dance, or I'll have to sic my Flame Swordsman on ya!" The familiar loud bass of Montell Jordan's "This Is How We Do It" began to thunder out across Domino Square, and true to Joey's instructions, duelists began to make their own dance floor. Soon people were grooving and rocking like nobody's business.

I was snuggled against Seto's shoulder, my eyes gently closed, when my sharp ears picked up a rhythmical thundering sound.
"Hey, Seto." I nudged him a little, and his sapphire eyes fluttered open slightly. "Do you hear that?" I asked quietly, raising my head slightly.
"Yeah." He looked around, looking as if his mind was a bit foggy from sleep.
"Wonder what it is?" I asked, getting up from my seat.
"Whatever it is, it's coming from Domino Square," Seto said, rising from his seat quickly. I followed suit, and we quickly ran to see what it was.
As we got closer to the square, I started to hear a melody above the thundering sounds, and I said, "It sounds like a party---lots of music---" We turned the corner and saw into the square. "Holy shit, look at all the people!"
The square was full of people, all Battle City duelists, judging from the duel discs on their arms. They didn't notice us, however----they were too busy raising hell and dancing like crazy. A table and platform stood off to the side of the 'dance floor,' and some refreshments sat on the table. Three familiar faces were standing on the platform.
"Hey, isn't that Tea and Yugi and Tristan?" I said to Seto, pointing in their direction.
"And there's Joey and Mokuba on the TV screens!" he said, furrowing his brow. "What the hell----"
Tea looked over in our direction, and suddenly I heard her voice over the crowd's roar. "Hey, everyone, it appears that our guests of honor are here!" She pointed over to us, and everyone stopped dancing and looked toward us.
"Come on, everybody!" Tea cried over the microphone she held in her hand. "Can't you welcome the head of the Battle City tournament any better than that?" A cheer rose up from the crowd at her remark, and he admittedly grinned.
"Yeah, that's better!" she said. "Well, anyway, Kaiba, welcome to your surprise party." Seto looked so stunned he couldn't speak. On the screen, Joey and Mokuba were dancing to the music as well, until Mokuba suddenly dashed off-screen. Joey looked over with a confused look on his face, then started attempting to do some kind of weird break dancing move that had everyone who was not dancing laughing. After a few seconds, Mokuba darted back on-screen.
"Hey, everyone, we just got word! Seto's at the party right now! Hey, big brother!" he said, waving onscreen. "Surprised?" Everyone cheered and looked over at Seto, who blushed.
"Well, as you can see," Tea said over the mike, "Kaiba's not exactly alone tonight. Do you want me to tell 'em, Kaiba, or should I?" The crowd began to murmur as Tea looked questioningly over at Seto, and he paused, looking embarrassed. Finally, he nodded, and she grinned.
"Well, as of last night, our dear Seto Kaiba is taken. Sorry, ladies, but a new friend of mine----well, she made the acquaintance of all of usme, Yugi, Joey, Tristan and Mokuba----has confessed her love for him, and so now they're going out! Isn't that great?"
Stunned silence followed, then an unexpected giant cheer went up from the crowd.
"Give a big hand for Kaiba and his new girlfriend, Robin!" Everyone happily obliged, and I couldn't help but smile----I mean, I was just referred to as his girlfriend, for God's sake!
"Will our guests of honor please make their way to the center of our party?" The crowd parted like the Red Sea in front of us, and Seto and I walked to the center together, with all eyes on us.
"All right," Joey said over the TV screens. "We're going to play a little song that Kaiba and Robin should really enjoy. How 'bout a little 'Bump, Bump, Bump?'" The familiar intro to B2K and P. Diddy's "Bump, Bump, Bump" started to play, and I squealed with delight.
"Yay! My favorite dancing song!" I said happily, and gestured to Seto. He looked as if I'd asked him to jump off a cliff.
"Are you kidding?" he whispered loudly. "I don't dance."
"Why not?" I asked, with the crestfallen look of a child.
"I just---I just don't. Not in public, especially." (Aw, his cheeks are turning red again!) He turned to leave, and I caught his arm.
"Please don't go." I silently begged him with my eyes as well, but I didn't want him to be unhappy either.
"I'm not exactly comfortable---I---"
"Are you afraid you'll get too wild?" I said, hinting at something completely different with a saucy wink.
"No---I just---I don't know how."
"Don't know how to dance?" I said incredulously. "Well, baby, you came to the right place to learn." I held onto his wrist. "If I teach you a few little steps, will you stay on the dance floor with me?" My brown eyes pleaded with him like an innocent child.
"Well, uh---I don't know, but---" He looked down at his feet shyly. "I suppose I could oblige."
"Good," I said, smiling. The infectious rhythm had my rounded hips already subconsciously swinging, and I laughed.
"Music's in my blood," I explained over the beat. Seto nodded distractedly---he was already too busy watching my hips move.
"All right, Seto, first, you have to establish a beat with your body. Bounce your shoulders a bit." I demonstrated, and Seto tried, but looked awfully stiff and stilted.
"Loosen up a bit," I said, putting my hands on his shoulders and massaging gently, then backed away. "Bounce 'em to the beat." He did it again, this time a little more fluidly. "Now you got it, Sexy Man." I stepped away from him slightly and started to swing my hips back and forth. "This is a move more for girls to do than guys, but I figured you'd like it," I said saucily, watching his deep blue eyes follow my hips back and forth like he was watching a pendulum.
"I can change it up a bit too----watch this." I planted my feet, bent my knees slightly, and let my hips go loose and wild, gyrating independently of the rest of my body. That generated quite a stir among the male members of the dancing party. Of course, the only guy I was focused on was pretty obvious.
"See, Seto?" I said, tempting him with a sultry look. "All you have to do is simply let your body go wild." In response, he came up to me and started to dance, slightly at first, bouncing his sexy broad shoulders to the beat.
"That's it," I said, putting my arms gently around his neck and gyrating my hips again, this time brushing certain parts of him while moving. He really seemed to enjoy that, and held my hips lightly to keep me close to him.
"You'd better stop or I won't be responsible for what I do to you in front of everyone," he whispered in my ear, and I giggled naughtily, getting a wonderful idea.
"I dare you to shake your sexy ass in front of everyone," I whispered back to him. "I promise you'll be rewarded if you do," I added saucily under my breath.
Seto's eyes widened, and he blushed more deeply. "What will they think of me?"
"They'll think you're great," I reassured him. "Show 'em you're the number-one dancer tonight." I moved away from him, and I heard the chorus of "Bump, Bump, Bump" start up.
"Seto, turn around and let me see that sexy body go bump, bump, bump," I sang to the music. After pausing a second, he did----I watched his sexy narrow hips move to the beat of the "bump, bump, bump," and the crowd whooped.
"Oh, yeah, baby!" I cried, licking my full lips. "Go, Seto. Go, Seto," I started to cheer quietly, pumping my fist. The crowd picked it up slowly, gathering more and more voices into the cheer until the whole crowd was circled around us, cheering and clapping to the beat of the words.
"Go, Seto! Go, Seto! Go, Seto! Go, Seto!"
He, like me, seemed to be fueled by the crowd's energy, and we came back together and danced like we had in the room the previous night, except with clothes on this time.
"Sounds like you guys are heating it up on the dance floor," Tea said over the mike, laughing as she looked down at us from the platform.
"Sho' nuff!" I yelled back. I put my left hand on my hip and raised my right to swing it over my head like I was slinging a lasso. We were pretty damn wild, I'll say that!
The crowd began to cheer our names alternately as the song kept going. Seto and I separated on the dance floor and danced by ourselves for a bit, then I heard him call out to me.
"Hey, Robin?"
"Yeah?"
"Can you turn around and let me see that sexy body go bump, bump, bump?" He was singing along to the last chorus. I laughed and did as he asked, which he definitely liked.
"Do you like it when my body goes bump, bump, bump?" I asked him, changing the lyric to fit what I wanted and shaking my hips to the beat of the "bump, bump, bump." Seto nodded, and we danced our way back together as the song faded. Everyone cheered and turned to look at the TV screen, where Joey and Mokuba appeared to be poring over the back of one of the CD cases.
"All right, all you crazy people," Joey said teasingly. "Are you readyto get busy?"
"Yeah!" the crowd responded. Joey grinned as if he had heard them, and looked down at the CD in his hand.
"Well, we're gonna play this song----I've only heard it a couple of times, but I figure I'll play it for our guests of honor, seeing as how they've already done----ow!" Joey rubbed his arm, wincing from Mokuba's punch, and Mokuba took his place, glaring at Joey.
"Anyway, as the big doofus over here was saying, this song is really awesome. Seto, if you don't dance to this one, I will personally kick your butt." The introduction to Sean Paul's "Get Busy" started to play, and I whooped.
"Oh my God!! This is one of my favorite songs!" I exclaimed, beginning to swing my hips to the beginning beat, and Seto just stood there and stared at me.
"What?" I asked.
"You're a wild woman tonight; what's gotten into you?"
"You," I said with a wink. He blushed at the obvious double meaning and I giggled.
"Well, ain't you gonna join the party, big boy?" I asked in a redneck accent. In response, he crossed his arms and tried his best to look as chilly as he could.
"You can't fool me," I said, noting the smile that threatened to spread across his face. "I know you're just dying to get out here and booty-dance." I looked him up and down. "You got the nice ass for it, so why not show it off?"
To tempt him further, I stopped dancing and sexed up my outfit a little, rolling up the shirt a tiny bit and pushing the waistband of my jeans down a little, exposing more of my waist and tummy. Then I resumed my movements, raising my arms slowly over my head and gyrating my hips as I had done before, but this time faster, turning slowly in a circle as I did it.
"Come on, Seto, you sexy man," I teased, beckoning him with one finger. "Get your sexy little ass out here and dance." I licked my lips invitingly.
"Boy, you better go out there and dance with your girl before I go and get her!" another duelist said, nudging Seto. "She's too fine to be dancing out there by herself." The crowd got together and actually pushed him to come over to me, and I moved in closer, torturing him with my body moving fluidly only inches from his.
"What's wrong, baby?" I asked seductively, looking into his eyes. "Just dance like you want. It's wonderful." I slowed my dancing to a subtle hip swing and listened to the words.
"Shake---that---thing---Miss---Kana Kana---shake---that---thing---Miss---Annabella---shake---"
"Shake---that---thing---hey, Seto Kaiba, shake---that---thing," I teased Seto, saying my words along to the beat of the music. Though his mind resisted still, I could see that his body couldn't resist moving a little, and very well indeed.
"Yeah, you're doing it! Come on, sexy man!" I "encouraged" him with a couple of gyrations against him, and sure enough, he slowly started to dance, and he moved just as fluidly as I did. His long legs carried him quite easily, and made his movements look effortless. (Damn, he's a great dancer once he gets out and does it a little!)

Tea and Yugi watched the party with great interest from their vantage point, which was sitting on the edge of the platform.
"Damn, who would have thought Seto Kaiba could dance like that?" Tristan said, coming over and sitting next to his friends, who were watching the previously cold and shy CEO moving as if he cared nothing about the crowd watching him. "I'll have to tell Joey all about this---he won't believe a word of it." He nudged Tea with his elbow and she cracked up in quiet laughter.
"I think it's because she makes him feel free," Yugi said thoughtfully. "I mean, I've never seen him act like that, and he's only been more relaxed and more----well, more fun since he met Robin." He watched the pair on the dance floor, their deceptively easy movements almost synchronized. "She somehow is able to coax him into being less stressed-out and serious, which is most likely a good thing for him."
"And I can't dance like that," Tea said, gesturing to Robin's generously curved hips, which seemed to have a screw loose in them to enable the innovative moves she was making. "I mean, I dance ballet, not booty." She laughed a little at her own joke.
"She does dance really well." Tristan trailed off, and Tea and Yugi followed his gaze to the dance floor.
"Eyeing forbidden fruit, are we?" Tea joked, ribbing Tristan in the side just as he had done her a few minutes earlier.
"Damn it, Kaiba's so lucky. He gets that hot chick all to himself because she's so in love with him." Tristan looked downcast.
"Don't feel bad, Tristan," Yugi said, reaching over Tea's lap to pat Tristan's knee in sympathy. "After all, you have to know that she's really more what Kaiba needs more than what you need."
"Boy, that just made it all better." Tristan's voice was dripping with sarcasm. Yugi flushed a little, realizing and feeling embarrassed of his faux pas.
"I'm sorry, Tristan---um---oh, crap." Yugi stuttered a second, then spoke. "I meant that when you really think about it, they are really right for each other. She's made him so happy, and I think that's really what he's been needing all this time----a person who understands his sorrows because she's been in similar darkness herself," Yugi said, wisdom shining in his eyes.
"How did you gather all that?" Tea asked, out of curiosity.
"Just from the way they bonded. It was more of a feeling, reallyyou could see that they understood each other's troubles in the way they acted towards each other."
"Well, they certainly are friendly with each other out there," Tea said, giggling as she pointed to the party, whose center continued to be the dynamic couple of Seto and Robin.
