Dec.17/04---> This is due for revision in 2005.


The limousine pulled up to the curb of Domino Elementary School. Mokuba Kaiba was waiting, eager to get home as it was the last day of school and the kids would return to school in January. He had been waiting all week for that day to come.

He got into the limousine with a smile, thinking about all the things he wanted to do during the holidays. He hoped his big brother would join in on the activities. They hadn't gotten a tree yet and decorations were still lying around in the storage room of their mansion. Normally the servants and maids would do the decorating but this year, Mokuba told them that they didn't have to. He wanted to do it and he wanted Seto to help out. Mokuba wanted Seto to take time off work and get away from his computer to have some fun.

The limousine pulled into the driveway of the Kaiba Mansion and the chauffeur opened the door for Mokuba. "Thanks." Mokuba said and rushed up the stairs to the doors and entered.

Mokuba's POV

Gosh, I hope Seto isn't working on his computer right now. We have to go out and get a tree. A really big one! Then we'll both get the decorations out and start to dress the tree.

I reached Seto's home office and peeked inside. I sighed. He was on the computer, as usual. Probably typing up some business report. I wondered why he was home before me. We usually go to his high school after I get picked up. "Seto?" I asked. "How come you're home so early?" He was already changed too, into work clothes: White button up shirt and black business pants. Must be more comfortable than his school uniform.

He answered in his usual monotone voice. "School let out early." He continued to type away.

"Well, can we go get a tree?"

Seto stopped his typing and reached for the phone on the desk. "I'll order one right now."

"No stop!" I cried and Seto looked at me in surprise. "Can we get one ourselves? At one of those places near the grocery stores?"

Seto frowned. "Why? What is wrong with the usual place?"

"Nothing." I replied. "I just want to try something different this year."

End of Mokuba POV-Start of Kaiba POV

What is Mokuba up to? I sighed. No arguing with him when he gives me that look. "Alright fine. We'll go." I resumed typing.

"Right now, okay? Before the good trees are all gone."

"Right now?" I looked at my computer. I suppose it could wait. "Very well." I reached for my black trench coat. "You direct the driver to wherever this place is."

"Thank you, big brother!" Mokuba jumped up and hugged me so tight, it almost hurt. Doing this must be very important to him.

End of Kaiba POV

The Kaiba brothers sat in the comfort of their limo as the driver cautiously drove through the busy traffic. Everybody was anxious for the weekend.

Finally they reached the supermarket where many families were arriving and leaving with Christmas supplies. The chauffeur rode up to the tree lot and Mokuba happily got out while Seto reluctantly followed. There were still plenty of trees left. Unfortunately for Seto, Yugi and his friends were also looking for trees as well.

Kaiba POV

"Of all the tree lots in Domino, Yugi Muto had to pick this one." I muttered under my breath. Just my luck.

"What was that, Seto?" Mokuba asked, looking at me strangely.

"I said of all the tree lots in Domino, we're lucky to have found this one." I quickly replied. Yeah, right, real lucky. I narrowed my eyes as Yugi spotted me and he and his friends rushed right over. I find it amazing they still want to be my friend after the way I've treated them ever since we met.

"Hi Mokuba! Hi Kaiba!" Yugi called in that ever-annoying voice of his. The others said hi as well, Taylor and Wheeler not sounding as cheerful as Tea and Bakura. I wasn't too happy to see them either. "What are you two doing in this part of town?"

"Are we not allowed to go anywhere we please?" I asked stiffly.

"Er-no, that wasn't what I meant." Yugi answered sheepishly. "It's just unusual to see you two around here."

"Yeah, I thought you guys bought your trees elsewhere." Joey chimed in.

"I just wanted to try some place different." Mokuba answered.

I was not in the mood for pleasant conversation. Then again, when have I ever been? "Come on, Mokuba." I turned to browse the tree lot.

Mokuba looked at them helplessly. "Guess I'll see you all later." He ran after me.

"Bye Mokuba!" They all replied.

Mokuba POV I sighed. I followed Seto till we found the right tree. It was tall and full, ready to be trimmed. Seto paid the guy and asked, no wait, ordered him to help our chauffeur tie it down. Then we were on our way.

I looked out the window, happy to see all the decorations. Then we passed the movie theatre. I looked to see what was playing. Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King! I loved that trilogy and I know Seto does though he refuses to admit it. "Hey big brother! Look what's playing!" Seto looked. "Can we go see it?"

"Now?"

"Yes. We can decorate the tree tomorrow. Please? PLEASE?" I gave him the look, knowing it was irresistible. I love being a little brother!

I could sense my brother's hesitation. Finally, he gave in. "Alright." I listened as he instructed the driver to turn back. The driver did so, and soon we were seated waiting for the movie to start. I liked to sit in the very back right in the middle. You get to see everything and there is no one behind you, kicking the seat.

The movie started. My favorite character is Legolas. He's so cool! And Aragorn reminds me of Seto because Aragorn is so determined to fight and not give up. Kind of like Seto.

Speaking of Seto, I looked to my right where he was sitting. Usually his expression was blank and emotionless but this time, I could see a glint of excitement in his eyes. I smiled, just happy to be with my brother. After all, he's the only family I've got.

Kaiba POV

I have to admit, that movie was quite exciting. Or "awesome!" as Mokuba would say. Lord of the Rings is about the only movie I watch and it's usually once in awhile whenever I have nothing to do. Well I usually have something to do, but there are times where I just choose to relax.

We arrived back at the mansion. I sent Mokuba to bed.

The next morning, Mokuba was up early to get the decorations and ornaments out of the storage room. His next task was to wake me up. I wasn't too happy but I got up and went down to the large living room. He insisted I put the lights on the tree. It was a little difficult as I had never done it before but somehow I managed to get it done.

Finally the tree was done. I shut off the lights and closed the curtains and Mokuba turned on the Christmas lights. The tree was very pretty and I watched as Mokuba turned on one light and put the star on top. He had forgotten to do that. I held the stepladder and he put it on. As he was climbing down, he slipped and fell, causing the stepladder to fall, thus creating a domino reaction, as the tree itself fell to the floor. I caught Mokuba before he hit the rug. Tears welled up in his eyes. "I'm sorry. I ruined it."

I shook my head. "No you didn't, Mokuba. It was an accident. We'll just set it back up and things will be fine."

"Are you mad?"

I frowned. What a silly question! "No I'm not mad. What makes you think I would be angry?"

"Well because whatever you do, it's always so perfect, so right. Nothing ever seems to go wrong." Mokuba looked down at his feet.

I sighed and patted his shoulder. "Come on. Let's get this tree back up." I heard him laugh as I struggled to lift it up without breaking or knocking anything down. Of course, that couldn't be done. We picked up the fallen ornaments and proceeded to place them on the tree. Doing this is actually enjoyable.

Mokuba's POV

A faint smile lit up Seto's face. I smiled back, glad that Seto seemed to be genuinely enjoying himself. I wish today were like every other day of the year. I wish Seto enjoyed himself at anything, during any day of the year.

PLEASE REVIEW! Much appreciated.
