Chapter 15 Pool Party

A/N: In this chapter I mention the scene from the anime that inspired the idea of Joey being Pegasus� son. Pegasus just seemed so impressed by Joey and so proud of him-just like a father would be.
Disclaimer: I don�t own Aquafina, etc., etc�ho hum.

��.
Pegasus finally returned to his sanctuary. In this tower room he had locked himself away with his hopes, dreams, and fantasies. He faced the portrait of his lady, the enchantress of his heart. �Lady Pegasus, I found him. I had actually already met him. Ironic isn�t it, my love? I recreated Duel Monsters and through the game was introduced unknowingly to our son. He placed second in the Duelist Kingdom Tournament. Amazing really. Everyone thought he was a nobody, hanging on Yugi Motou�s shirttails. But he is an exceptional duelist. He doesn�t even realize it. A day will come, my love, when he will knock us all on our keisters-Kaiba, Yugi, and I. Of the three of us, only Kaiba will pout. Hmm�of course, he�ll do it with storm clouds and lightning bolts and then stalk off to sulk�
But Joseph�oh, Cecelia, you should have seen him duel against that despicable Bandit Keith. I was so proud of him. I knew Keith was cheating, but I didn�t interfere with the duel. I wanted to see how Joseph would fare against the scoundrel. Every trick, every strategy Keith came up with Joseph deflected like a pro. I told him to be proud of that victory, yet I am certain the words sounded hollow to him, spoken as they were by the enemy.
He dueled for his little sister, you know, to win the money to save her eyesight. Our boy is beautiful, Cecelia, loyal and generous, my eyes, your hair�when he was tiny, I told you that he would take after you and he did. Oh my darling, what am I going to do? He already despises me�I�m actually quite afraid for him to discover that I�m his father. He may hate me, shun me, want nothing of me�But what truly worries me is this-will he hate himself as well?�
��.
Kaiba followed Joey out of the mansion a few moments after the blonde had skittered off like a spooked housecat. He wore a white polo shirt and a pair of blue and white Hawaiian print swim trunks. He surveyed his domain with his usual disdain. But the teenaged invaders of his estate had at least enough manners to wait for the appearance of their host before devouring the food.
�Hey, Seto�s here! Let�s eat!� Mokuba announced with his usual exuberance.
The teens filled up on their host�s generous spread of edibles, laughing and joking while munching down. Seto sat a bit off to the side, he was a loner, but he never felt more alone than he did when he was surrounded by Yugi�s crew.
If not for Mokuba�s unlimited enthusiasm, the teenagers probably would have contented themselves with an afternoon siesta. Mokuba would have none of it. He ran into the mansion, swiftly changed into leopard print trunks, and upon his return headed for the rope. He swung out over the center of the pool doing his best Tarzan imitation and initiated the older teens with a healthy spray of water.
�Oh, I am so going to get you for that!� Joey exclaimed and bolted for the apartment so he could change into his trunks.
Twenty minutes, one disappearing host, and several changes from street clothes to swimming attire later, Joey and Tristan let a sputtering, giggling Mokuba up for air after his third dunking. The three girls were attempting to sunbathe with their white skin exposed for the first time that season to the April sun.
Serenity squealed when Tristan�s strong arms scooped her up. He had intended to throw her into the pool but one look in her wide surprised eyes made him reconsider. He sat down on the side of the pool instead with Serenity still on his lap and dangled his long legs in the water.
Jou, however, was not so merciful. He snuck around the two lovebirds who were too wrapped up in each other to notice the impending danger. A quick lunge, using his forearm instead of his hands and the happy couple was not quite so happy.
Joey brayed with laughter, thoroughly pleased with himself. Mai came up behind him and whacked him over the head with the magazine she�d been reading.
�Joseph Wheeler�!� She began, but was cut off when he picked her up and she made her own undignified entrance into the pool.
Jou turned to Tea. Two girls down, one to go�
�You wouldn�t.� She said.
�Wouldn�t I?� He smirked and then chased her around some lawn furniture before coming face to face with his sister.
�Joey, what has gotten into you?� Serenity demanded with her hands on her hips. For a moment she looked and sounded just like their�no, her mother and it burst his bubble.

He shrugged and headed for the diving board.
�Joseph! Do you have any idea how much time and money I spent on my hair and manicure? Now look at me!� Mai screeched.
Joey paused and looked at her. Beautiful as always, lovely lavender eyes�he had a real soft spot for them�Roger�s eyes, Yugi�s eyes, Mai�s eyes�He knelt on the side of the pool, brushed one strand of wet blonde hair out of the way and kissed her on the forehead.

�Aaah�Mai, you shouldn�t have gone to all that trouble for me�� And then he was flying head first into the pool himself.
�How�s that for just desserts?� Tristan asked him when he came up for air. The others laughed and cheered Tristan on.
Joey mumbled something unintelligible under his breath and swam to the nearest ladder. Bakura lounged at the side of the pool and watched the other teens� frivolous antics. The smile on his face was not an altogether pleasant one.
Jou finally made it to the diving board and executed a perfect double back flip off of it, hitting the water with barely a splash. He got several appreciative looks for his performance, not least among them, Seto�s. He watched the whole thing from his surveillance cameras in the basement. For a klutz, Jou had a masterful command over his body when he wanted to. For a gay male, Jou had a definite attraction to a certain pretty blonde female. Seto scowled. He just could not figure that boy out. Could he be bisexual and not even realize it? Seto wondered how he was going to be able to maintain his charade with the puppy right under his nose.
That was when Seto realized Mokuba was looking directly into one of the cameras posted outside the mansion that overlooked the pool. His little brother had a too thoughtful expression on his face. Busted! And then Mokuba started walking toward the mansion.
Seto tapped his fingers on the table trying to decide if he should let Mokuba confront him or just head out to the pool. He knew if he got into an argument with his brother over this he wouldn�t win. He sighed and went to go meet him.
��.
Bakura and Tristan were thrilled when Mokuba left. They hadn�t been too sure they were going to be able to implement their plan without getting caught. They headed back to the van and came back with what appeared to be six 1-liter bottles of Aquafina. They stealthily approached the five-gallon coolers of lemonade and fruit punch and dumped the contents of the water bottles into the coolers. Tristan didn�t ask how Bakura got his hands on so much vodka and he didn�t want to know. Bakura just seemed too nice to be a devil in disguise.
Mai had set up her portable stereo and cranked up the tunes. She and Tea exchanged fancy dance steps and tried to coax Serenity into joining them. But Serenity was a little intimidated by the adventurous blonde amazon and the talented brunette dancer.
�Ah, go on sis. It can�t be that hard.� Joey encouraged her. �Look, even Mai can do it.�
�Joseph, I want to see you do it! Get over here!� Mai demanded.
Jou shrugged, really how hard could it be?
��..
And that was how, when Seto joined the party, he found Mai, with a lavender sarong tied around her itty-bitty purple polka dot bikini, dancing in Joey�s arms. So with his scowl in place, Seto got a glass of punch and wondered what Tristan and Bakura were up to as they sat on lawn chairs next to the coolers snickering and drinking lemonade out of water bottles�
Tea had finally gotten both Yugi and Serenity coaxed out of their shyness enough to try to coach them in the dance moves Mai and Joey picked up easily. Glancing at the two blondes Tea couldn�t help but smile. They looked so good together. Tea knew Mai had a crush on Joey, but Joey hadn�t figured it out yet. Boys! They�re so clueless! She thought in exasperation as she wistfully watched Yugi dance with Serenity.
Mokuba was getting a little bored and went after his own glass of punch. He ignored the two characters keeping watch over the coolers and got his brother another glass of punch too. He sat down by Seto on the side of the pool. Both brothers idly swung their feet in the water.
�Are we having fun yet?� Seto scowled.
Mokuba quickly gulped down his fruit punch and began to feel strangely warm, almost like he had a fever. He watched Seto finish off his second glass of punch and the casually leaned over and using his hand like a rudder majorly splashed his stuffy big brother.
�Mokuba!� Seto yelled and then suddenly, with a complete lack of warning, the blue-eyed billionaire was back in the pool. He turned in time to catch Mokuba and Joey do a high five. �Mutt! That�s twice today you�ve pushed me into my own damn pool!� Seto growled.
�Yep! You�re slipping up, Kaiba. I�ve gotten the best of you twice today! Next thing you know I�ll have you whipped at Duel Monsters! Go me!� Joey did a happy little jig.
Mokuba joined the two already hysterical teens at the coolers in their non-stop laughing marathon.
�Dream on, you scruffy, mangy excuse for a flea bag! If you don�t want to end up on the streets you better learn some respect for your master!� Seto�s anger was a bluff. He actually felt a little giddy, warm, tingling, and more than a little turned on by the idea of giving his puppy some obedience training.
Jou cocked his head trying to decide if there was a real threat in Seto�s words or not. The blue-eyed boy had a look on his face that made the idea of being a stray on the streets sound appealing��Ah, come on, Kaiba, the puppy just wants to play.� Jou whined, calling Seto�s bluff.
Seto stared into the honey caramel eyes, warm, sweet, yummy�and stripped off the drenched polo shirt wondering what fool turned the thermostat up so high on the pool. He threw the shirt squarely into Joey�s well-toned chest. It made a satisfactory slapping noise against the luscious bare skin.
�Well, get in here and play then.� Seto invited with one eyebrow raised in challenge.
For a split instant Joey just held onto the shirt on the brink of running for the hills, then he threw the shirt down and looked to Mokuba for backup. �Come on, we�re gonna dunk your brother!�
�Cool!� Mokuba was there faster than he could say �holographic technology�.
By the time they dove in Seto had swum to the other side of the pool where Bakura was now dancing with Mai, Tristan had reclaimed Serenity, and Yugi and Tea had drifted over to the coolers. Seto thought that maybe it wasn�t such a bad idea to crash Joey�s party after all. At least he had gotten the puppy away from Mai.
And then Joey and Mokuba had him surrounded. Seto brought his hands up about shoulder high, palms out, and easily pushed both boys away with a firm outward thrust, his hands connecting with their chests. Mokuba was giggling too much to be very resistant to the sudden move, but Joey was more determined. He recovered quickly, dove under the water, grabbed Seto around the waist and pulled him under.
Seto squirmed away as quickly as possible, wanting to keep certain parts of his anatomy from coming into contact with Jou. Not that he really would have minded, it just would have blown his rather shaky cover.
�Tristan Taylor! What did you do?� Tea shrieked. Yugi cringed at her sharpness.
�Whatcha talkin� �bout, Tea?� Tristan slurred.
�You�re drunk.� Serenity stated simply. �That�s what she�s talking about.�
�You spiked the drinks?� Yugi gasped.
�Actually, �Kura got the booze.� Tristan answered.
Seto�s brain was working a millisecond or so slower than normal. It registered with him that this was the reason he felt strange and that Mokuba had a glass or two of the doctored drinks as well.
�This party is over!� He announced loudly in a furious deep rumble of a roar. �Mokuba out of the pool now!� Seto glared at Yugi as if somehow this was all his fault. �I want you to pack up your friends and be off of my property in five minutes.�
By the time he was done giving orders the lavender eyes had turned fuchsia, Serenity was sobbing in Tristan�s arms, and Joey wasn�t sure who to pummel first-Seto, Tristan, or Bakura.
�Kaiba, I want a word with you.� The Pharaoh sounded calm, but his eyes were sending off dangerous sparks.
�Yami. This is my property! No one said anything about bringing alcohol onto it!� Seto growled.
�Damn you, Kaiba,� Joey hissed as he climbed out of the pool.
Everyone else headed back to the apartment after gathering up their belongings. Mokuba headed for the mansion and didn�t stop until he reached his room, his mind filled with a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Things had been going so well. Seto had actually been socializing and now everything was ruined. His brother would never agree to having Joey�s friends over again.
Outside, Seto got out of the pool and towered over Yami.
�I don�t disagree with you, Kaiba.� Yami told him, not allowing a mere matter of a difference in height phase him. �The party is over. Tristan and Bakura were wrong to do such a thing behind your back. However, Joey and Serenity just buried their father. Your total lack of tact has only added to their misery.� Yami turned his back on the angry CEO and walked away with Joey at his side.
��
When it was time for supper Seto called the apartment and invited Jou and Serenity to join he and Mokuba. Not surprisingly, Jou declined. They were having a pizza delivered. Seto was about to hang up when Joey stopped him.
�Kaiba, I don�t blame you for being angry at Tristan and Bakura. They were just goofing off. They didn�t mean any harm.� Joey sounded more tired than anything. �Thanks for offering us supper, but since Serenity is leaving tomorrow and I don�t know if or when I�ll see her again, I just want to spend some time with her, so maybe another time?�
�That�s fine, Jou. You will see her again. You have my word.�
Although Seto couldn�t see it, his promise made Joey smile from ear to ear. �Thanks, Kaiba. I�m really sorry about earlier.�
�It wasn�t your fault. Can we just forget about it?�
�Yeah. Hey, I gotta go.�
�All right.� Seto hung up feeling a little stunned by the conversation. No arguing, an apology, a possible dinner date for another evening, progress�wow.
