Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh! That honor belongs to Kazuki Takahashi, TV Tokyo, 4Kids Entertainment, and possibly just a little bit because YGOTAS has invaded our brains: LittleKurboh. I do own my OC though. So no touchy the Chloe!

Chloe slowly woke up as a voice came over the intercom. She glanced at the lights above her. The seat belt sign was on. She tried to understand what was being said, but she couldn't understand a word of it. 'I guess listening to the language tapes in my sleep really didn't work...speaking of the language tapes...' She rubbed at her ears. Her headphones weren't in anymore. She looked around her seat. She found her iPod on the floor, the ear buds tangled into a knot. She turned it on. Sure enough, the album cover still showed the annoying chibi girl and boy, with 'Learn Japanese in Your Sleep!' written is a super kawaii font at the top. She supposed it would have helped had she been actually listening to the tape as she slept.

The English translation of the announcement came a moment later. "Passengers, this is your captain speaking. We will be landing in the Tokyo International Airport in a little under fifteen minutes. Today is April 10th, it is currently nine in the morning, and the temperature outside is a balmy sixty five degrees. As we prepare for decent, please secure all loose carry on items, buckle your seat belts, and return all seats and trays to the upright and locked position. The stewardesses will be coming around to collect any garbage you might have. We hope you had an excellent flight, and will continue to choose Pacific Airlines for all your overseas travel needs."

She tilted her seat back up and rubbed her hands over her face. She looked around sleepily. Most of the business men that she shared the cabin with were already awake, drinking coffee and typing away on laptops. The stewardess that she had befriended earlier in the flight came by, giving her a smile. "Well, look who decided to greet the day? You're a little late for hot breakfast, but I can get you a muffin or something if you want."

Chloe gave her a small smile back, tossing her water bottle into the trash bag on her cart. "That's alright, Miki. I can't eat this soon after I wake up, anyway." She was lying, but Miki accepted it.

"Alright. Have something to drink, though. I can't send you to your host family on an empty stomach, now can I?"

Chloe chewed on her bottom lip, her nerves from the night before returning to her as she remembered the reason for her flight. "Uh...Do you have apple juice?"

"Sure do." Miki handed her the bottle of generic brand juice and moved onto the next row. Chloe stored the bottle in her backpack, and looked out the window at the approaching ground below. She could see some cars driving on the roads below. She absently wondered if one of them belonged to her exchange's family...What was their name again? She dug through her bag, pulling out the post card her exchange had sent her. She read the letter again first.

Dear Andrews Chloe,

You don't know me yet, and it's unlikely we'll meet, but I'm your exchange at Domino High School. It's about a month before we each fly across the world, and I just realized that I know nothing about you or your family. This is a picture of my family and I. I'm in the middle, and my parents are on either side of me. Please send a picture of you and your family back, my parents are excited to see what you look like! =D

Much love,

Mazaki Anzu

Chloe flipped the card back over, grinning. They were all standing in front of some fountain. Anzu was a bit taller than her dad, and a lot taller than her mom. Though, that might be because of the chunky platform boots apparent on her feet. They looked like a sweet family.

Chloe had sent back a picture of her and her brother, explaining that she didn't have any good pictures of them with their mom and step dad. It was a bit more complicated than that, but she didn't feel the need to tell he girl about her life story. She had been exchanging letters and emails with Anzu ever since. It wasn't much time to get to know each other, but it was certainly better than nothing. Anzu sent her a picture of her with her friends at school, and Chloe sent back a picture of a sketch one of the kids at her lunch table had drawn of them all reading their books. It wasn't the coolest representation ever, but it was pretty much the closest she could get to a picture of her and her friends.

There was a bump as the plane landed. She winced as her ears popped. Sighing, she started putting all of her things in her bag as her plane taxied into the gate. She glanced out her window again, before sighing. She had been warned that the next year would be a journey. She would just have to put on her big girl panties and deal with it.

Yeah. So. Guess who finally got bit by the fanfiction bug over winter break? I've actually been working on this for a while, but I'm finally satisfied with Chloe as a character. I promise I'll try and make this the only long AN, at least for a while. But I feel the need to clarify a few things.

Yes, this is going to be OCxCanon. It's going to be more of a subplot for the first half as I planned out, but it will eventually and slowly happen. Not giving away who the canon is yet, but if any of you are completely turned off by this, know that I am going to be trying my very darndest to keep Clo out of Sue-dom. I'm just as annoyed as the next person by a Mary Sue, so PLEASE tell me in a review if she starts veering into that area without my knowledge. Kay?

Another thing worth mentioning for when the canons come in. I'm going to say straight up, I haven't seen the whole anime or read all the manga. I've seen the first episode (both 4kids and fansubbed), read the first two books of the manga, and seen all of the abridged series that LK has posted so far. Expect the characters to be an odd abridged series/manga mix. If the characters start going way OOC, just shoot up the warning flags in reviews. Kay? Kay.

Love you all! First chapter is also done, posting in a moment.
