thought. When Seamus told me about his little Mac, I thought more of a guest student than a business woman."That's when I realize that I'm still wearing my sand-colored pantsuit.

"Would you like to have tea with us?", Yuugi intervened.

"Sure. But call me Mac. Everyone does that." Man, they're nice here.

“So you play too, yeah?” Jonouchi grins at me. I really like him; even if he was totally screwed at the beginning.

I nod.

"Why don't you three go upstairs? I'll be right after you." Mutou-san nods his head back.

Yuugi nods and goes first. Jonouchi and I afterwards.

And now I'm sitting in Yuugi's room with two new friends. We drink tea, eat cookies and talk.

"What are you doing exactly?", Jonouchi chews on the rest of the biscuit that he has in his mouth.

“In a big company as a secretary.” As a precaution I don't mention where exactly I work and whose secretary I am. Who knows how they react and I don't want to invest in it.

"Well, as long as you don't have to toil for Kaiba ..." That's not good at all.I look a little confused at Jonouchi.

“W-Why?” I try to keep my composure.

"Just forget it ..." He turns and stares at the wall.

"The two are, so to speak, favorite enemies!" Laughs Yuugi.

"Stop it, dude!" Hissed from the corner.

"Oh, come on, Jou-kun. Don't feel like that." I poke him in the side. Somehow the situation reminds me of home.

“Don't call me that!” And he growls.

"I can do that, I'm older than you." I poke him again. Ui, that's fun.

His angry face when he turns to me is just, how should I say ... Sweet! To use that un-word that was so popular in my vocational school.

Yuugi and I start laughing.

“Oh, leave me alone!” And the insulted liver sausage turns around again.

That's how we spend the rest of the evening. I say goodbye around ten so I don't miss my train.

When I get home, the first thing I notice is an envelope stuck to the door to my loft.Oha. Is that the house rules? Is there also the famous Kehrwoche in Japan? I couldn't stand this absurdity in Germany. Sean and I always had to take turns taking over for our old neighbor, Mrs. Katzen. Jamie had given her the name because she lived with 15 cats and still went out at night to feed street tigers.

Oh how nice! A message from Beth's uncle!

Welcome Mac!Thank you!

Nice that you made your way up. How does he know?
[i]How was your first day at work? I hope you get on well with your boss.Stressful. Sometimes like this; sometimes like that.
Do you like the loft?And how! I love it!
I hope you enjoyed the jacuzzi on the terrace, it's brand new.Yes, and I'm using it right now! Relaxation, i'm coming!

In the meantime I unlock and take off my shoes.

I think I'll come and see you when you've finished setting up.Why not?
I would love to know what you made of the bare "booth". You will be amazed!

[i]Welcome again and good luck at work.Thank you and I will need it.
Don't hang your head, it's just very busy.I won't - Huh? What does he mean by that?

No signature. Was clear. It doesn't matter, move out now and relax in the pool! Whoops!

After a relaxing bath, I lie on my bed and finish my book.

Wearily, I rub my eyes, yawn and lie on my side. Glasses down, book down and lights off. It is time.

* Smoke on the water ... *

Oh. My. God! What's broken again? Maybe something happened at home! Half awake, I roll around in my brand new waterbed and fish for my cell phone in alarm.

"Hello?" I yawn.

"I've sent you some documents that you have to translate into Japanese by tomorrow.Bring them with you. "That voice - and I'm wide awake.

"B-please?" I whisper hoarsely and look at my clock radio. 3 o'clock in the morning. Is the man still very much at ease? What does it mean to ring me out of bed at this ungodly time? And where the hell did he get my home number? Does he never sleep?

"The documents, Maeve. Translate and bring them with you." And hung up.

I am appalled. So THAT is the famous homework. Only those whose name is Seto Kaiba can do that.

I climb out of my cozy, warm bed grumbling. I still can't believe I'm actually doing this ...

A / N: A question for the general public. Are all still IC, or have I screwed up something?

R&R please.
