Hey Guys this is my first Fanfiction ever so I hope you enjoy :)

Chapter 1: The Project

Joey sighed. After non-stop begging from Yugi for the past week, he had finally agreed to sign up for the home living course that their school offered. As he looked at his young friend he couldn't help but smile a little. His best friend couldn't look happier. Sitting next to his boyfriend Yami, Yugi looked forward at the teacher with a big smile on his face, clearly excited to see what we had to do next.

As I look around the room, I see Téa and Mai (1) sitting next to each other giggling away. Téa then rest her head on Mai's shoulder as her two month-long girlfriend kisses her forehead (2). Tristan and Duke were sitting together, arguing once again over who my little sister Serenity likes more.

The teacher called our attention.

"Okay class, time for everyone's favorite project, Parenting."

The cheers from Yugi, Téa and Mai filled the room. The rest of the class chuckled.

"Okay everyone quite down," the teacher said, smiling at the three students who were clearly very excited for this project. "This project will be done in partners. To make sure there are no arguments over who partners with who, I've decided that your partner will be the person seated next to you. Since you chose who you sat next to, there should be no complaints. When I call your name, come up to the front with you partner and get your baby. Once you have received him or her, you shall give them a name and fill out their birth certificate. Oh and some of you will have more than one child."

Joey raised his hand.

"Do not worry Mr. Wheeler; you will be partnered with the only person who has not come to class yet. They have been taking the course online so far, but they need to actively participate in this project."

Joey nodded. Suddenly, a machine was wheeled into the room

"Okay everyone; this is the machine that will create your babies. The babies will be mechanical of course. The machine has a bit of each of your DNA, taken from the samples you gave for the tests you took in biology. This machine will combine the DNA of the parents and give you your baby. When your name is called, you come up to the front and pick a piece of paper from this hat. On each piece of paper there is a series of numbers. When this series of numbers is programmed into the machine, it will know how many babies to give you. After this is complete, you will place your thumbs on the scanners. The machine will them match your prints with your DNA and then merge them to create to child or in some of your cases children. Is this understood?"

Everyone nods.

"Then let's begin, Okay first up Yugi Moto." Yugi and Yami walked up to the front to get their baby. Yugi walked towards the teacher and reached into the hat. He pulled out a piece of paper and gave it to the teacher. All three of them then went over to the machine. As the teacher put in the code on the paper, Yami and Yugi placed their thumbs on the scanners.

The machine started to hum quietly and them there was a beep. The teacher reached in and pulled out the mechanical baby and handed it to Yugi. It was a baby girl with violet eyes shaped like Yugi's. Her hair was tricolored like both her parents, but was more similar to Yami's in the way that some of the blond hair stood up with the black.

"She's adorable," Yugi cooed. "Let's name her Kioko."

"That's perfect Yugi," Yami declared. "Kioko Moto." They filled out the birth certificate and went back to their seats.

Téa and Mai went up next. Téa pick a paper out of the hat, and then she and Mai went over to the machine. Téa handed the paper to the teacher and then the two girls placed their thumbs onto the scanners. When the machine beeped, the teacher pulled out a baby and handed it to Téa. The baby had blond her like Mai in the style of Téa's and had Téa's eyes, but they were shaped like Mai's.

"It's a boy," said Téa, smiling down at him lovingly. "What should we name him?"

"How about Tai. It's a combination of both our names," replied Mai. Téa nodded and filled out the birth certificate, writing Tai Valentine under where they were asked to put the name. They then walked back to their seats.

The process was repeated by Tristan and Duke, also receiving a boy. His hair was black like Dukes but Tristan's style. His eyes were the color of Dukes, an emerald green and they were the same shape as Tristan's. They named him T.J. Taylor. (3)

Finally Joey was called up. He picked out the last piece of paper and walked over to the machine.

"Okay Mr. Wheeler, you partners DNA is the only ones other than yours that hasn't been used so the machine will automatically merge them once you place your thumb on the scanner." Explained the teacher when she saw that Joey was confused to how the machine would work without both parents there.

Joey nodded, handed her the paper and pressed his thumb on the scanner. While he was waiting for the beep Joey looked at the teacher.

"Who is my partner anyway?" asked Joey.

"You'll see," replied the teacher. "Each child resembles their parents in a way."

Joey nodded once again. The Machine then beeped.

"Congratulations Mr. Wheeler, you have twins."

Joey looked at the two children in the teachers arms. The first was a girl with shoulder length brown hair with bangs identical to Joey's. Her eyes were a beautiful shade of blue, shaped just like Joeys. Joey couldn't help but feel like those blue eyes were crazy familiar. The second was a boy. He had short blond hair, in a style that was eerily familiar. Suddenly, it hit him. The style of the boys' hair was identical to Seto Kaibas. That's why the blue in the girls' eyes was familiar. It is the exact shade of Kaibas. The boy's eyes were the shape of Kaibas and the honey color like Joeys. Joey took a step back.

"My partner is Seto Kaiba!" Joey yelled, falling on his ass. The rest of the class laughed.

"Yes, and these are your children. Now it's time to give theme names. So what will they be?'

Joey got up looked at the twins and then went over to their papers and filled them in. ha then walked back to his desk with the twins and their papers in his arms.

"Okay. Now that everyone has their kids I shall explain the rest of the assignment. Although the babies are mechanical, they act exactly like real children would. If you drop them they will cry and they will get a bruise. They breathe and bleed as well, though their blood is not real. For the next two months you will be excused from classes to be able to properly care for the babies, and you are expected to live in the same building as your partner, whichever house that may be. Once you have chosen you will contact me by calling the number that is written on a piece of paper in the bag of baby supplies that you will receive when you leave when the bell rings. These bags include diapers and extra clothes (4). I'll see you all in two months."

Joey walked out of the classroom after the bell rang, grabbing his bag of supplies on the way out. His was twice as big as the others seeing as he was the only one with twins, sighing as he wondered how he would tell Kaiba the news.

AN:

So I hope you liked Chapter 1 of "How it all Began"

(1) I don't know if Mai goes to school still or if she graduated but for the purposes of my story she does go to Domino

(2) When this story is finished I plan on writing one that explains how these two got together

(3) T.J. is short for Tristan Junior. I used Tristans' last name because i liked T.J. Taylor better than T.J. Devlin.

(4) the babies came out of the machine dressed. The boys dressed in blue the girls in pink.

I Know you probably want to know what Joey named the twins. ididn't write it in this chapter because I wanted to save it for when Joey talks to Kaiba.

Please Review. Constructive critisism is apreciated.
