Alright guys. This is my first shot at a self-insert story and to be completely honest I'm kind of nervous. I've never written a story that has a main character that is myself. We'll see how this goes:P

"Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me, but bear this in mind it was meant to be. And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks and it all makes sense to me." The sound of my alarm made me groan melodramatically. I've never been a morning person and as much as I enjoyed listening to voices of attractive boys from Europe, the sound of their voices was something I had come to dread every morning. I pulled myself out of my bed and slowly made the trek to my bathroom down the hall. I turned on the shower and jumped in, sighing contently from the warmth of the water. After I finished showering and getting dressed, I carefully brushed and flossed each tooth. I made a face as I looked at myself in the mirror.

"What are we going to do with you today?" I asked aloud, lifting a few strands of my brass colored hair. Figuring out what to do with my hair was never an easy feat. It hung down past my bust in thick waves that always seemed to be unmanageable. I finally opted to just pin my bangs back and returned to my room to grab my backpack and books. Before I headed downstairs I peeked my head into my parent's room.

"Mom? Are you almost ready?"

"Yeah. Can you make sure your sister is ready to leave in five?"

"Sure." Now I know what people must be thinking now. You're seventeen, a senior in high school, and you don't drive? Well, nearly getting broadsided by a big rig on the freeway kind of kills all desires to drive. I knocked on my sister's door before I heard her voice on the other side telling me to come in. Usually, I would've just walked in but my sister had just reached the bratty, pre-teen years so anything was likely to set her off into a melodramatic, pre-teen, angst-filled mood.

"You almost ready to leave Michelle?"

"Yeah."

"Okay. We're leaving in five."

"I said I'd be ready." I rolled my eyes at her bratty behavior and shut the door. I would've told her to stop acting like a little brat but I wasn't the kind of person to start a fight this early in the morning. I trotted down the stairs and headed towards the kitchen to get myself some breakfast. Although breakfast is the most important meal of the day, I had never been one to have much for breakfast. I pulled an apple from the crisper and headed towards the garage.

"I'll be in the car!"

What the hell was I thinking signing up for a math class first thing in the morning? Ugh shut up Mr. Nelson! No one cares about the axioms of probability! I played with my pencil absentmindedly as my gaze traveled across the room. My gaze rested on a familiar sandy haired boy and I smiled. Todd Parker, president of the drama club and my crush since freshman year. He caught me looking at him and smiled. Shit I've been caught. Nice going Hailee. Way to reel the guys in. He suddenly started mouthing something. I shrugged, letting him know that I had no idea what he was saying. He held up a finger and looked down at his desk. A minute later, a piece of paper was thrown in my direction. I grabbed it from the floor and unfolded it as inconspicuously as I could before looking down to read it. You're coming to drama club today right?

Of course I am. I'm vice president dummy, I have to be there:), I wrote before quickly folding the note and tossing it back. He looked down at the note then tossed me a fake glare. I smiled sweetly at him before turning my attention back to the front of the class. I yawned and rested my head in my hand. I glanced at the clock and frowned. There's still fifty minutes left? Someone please kill me now.

The rest of the school day passed quickly. When the final bell rang at three o' clock I gathered my stuff and left the music room.

"Hey Hailee!" I paused and turned over my shoulder to see Todd walking towards me. "Do you still need a ride home even though we don't have rehearsal?"

"Yeah. That would be great. Thanks."

"No problem." The ride home didn't last nearly as long as I would've liked it to. When Todd pulled up to my house I climbed out of his white car, waved goodbye, and unlocked my front door. After shutting and locking the front door behind me, I rushed up to my room to watch TV. A small smile touched my lips when the opening theme for Yu-gi-oh started to play. I settled down on my bed with Oscar (my laptop) and began watching the episode. The episode I had left off on was the one where the characters got sucked into Noah's virtual world. The sound of my stomach growling loudly pulled my attention away from my television. I paused the episode and quickly headed downstairs to grab a small snack before my family got home to go out to dinner. In my house, Friday nights out were a tradition. Every Friday we would go out to dinner and once a month we would see a movie. That was this particular Friday night. I grabbed a banana and headed back upstairs. I stopped right in front of my door when I noticed that my TV was glowing. I'm not talking about the eerie glow that all TVs have either. I mean it was glowing like it was going to explode.

"What the hell?" I went to grab the home phone to let my mom know what was going on when a loud bang had me dropping to the ground and covering my head. I stayed in a protective position for a few tense seconds. When I didn't smell smoke, I slowly pulled myself to my feet. I peeked into my room and couldn't help but release an audible gasp. Nine familiar figures were sprawled out and unconscious in all corners of my room.

"No. Fucking. Way." Yugi, Yami, Tea, Joey, Tristan, Duke, Serenity, Mokuba, and Seto were in my room. I shut my eyes tightly, willing myself to wake up. There was no way that this was real.

"This can't be happening." When I opened my eyes again, they were all still there. "Oh my God. This really is happening." My seven-year-old self would have a field day with this. The sound of the home phone ringing made me jump.

"Hello?"

"Hey Hailee."

"Hey Mom."

"I'll be home soon to pick you up so we can go to dinner. Please be ready in ten." I was about to say okay when I stopped. Ten minutes? I had nine fictional characters unconscious in my bedroom. How the hell was I supposed to get rid of them in ten minutes?

"Oh actually Mom, could you stop at Target and grab me a few things?" She sighed on the other line.

"I wish you would've told me earlier. I went to Target today during my lunch break."

"I'm sorry. I didn't realize I needed stuff till I got home."

"What do you need?"

"Ibuprofen and feminine products."

"Alright. Fine. I'll see you in twenty then."

"Okay. Thank you Mom. See you soon." I hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief. I can't believe that worked. I brought my attention back to the unconscious group in my room. What the hell am I supposed to do? I kneeled down next to Yugi and started shaking him slightly.

"Um. Hello? Yugi?" Oh God I sounded crazy. "Wake up." There was no response. I quickly went through the whole group, nudging them and making loud noises but they all remained unconscious. I can't just leave them in my room but it looks like they won't be waking up any time soon. I have to buy myself more time! The sound of the garage door opening almost made me shit my pants. Shit! Mom's home and I have nine people unconscious in my room! Shit! An idea suddenly popped into my head. Alright Hailee, you're a theatre kid. Time to turn on your acting skills. I splashed hot water on my face before quickly running down the stairs. When I got downstairs, I opened the garage door and walked out slowly. My mom was waiting in the car. I trudged towards her car, making sure to drag my feet slowly.

"Hailee you look flushed. Are you feeling alright?"

"No I'm not. I just threw up."

"Do you want me to stay home and make you some soup?"

"No, it's okay. Go on out with Michelle and Dad. I don't think I'll be able to hold anything down anyway." She pressed the back of her hand to my forehead, which was warm due to the hot water, and frowned slightly.

"Okay. You go straight up to bed and rest. Be sure to drink lots of water."

"Sure Mom. I'll see you guys when you get home." She pulled the car out and shut the garage, leaving me alone again. Okay I'm either getting better at pretending to be sick, or my mom is just getting too old to tell the difference. I let out a relieved sigh and headed back inside. At least now I had another three or four hours to figure out what to do. I headed back upstairs and peeked into my bedroom. They were all still unconscious. I frowned. I found it slightly concerning that they were all still unconscious. I walked towards them and examined each of them in turn. They all seemed to be breathing fine and none of them had visible injuries. Well I guess there really isn't much I can do until they wake up. I decided that I would fix myself something to eat while I waited for them to wake up. They'd probably be hungry too by the time they woke up. I headed down to the kitchen and pulled out a couple pots and pans. I started boiling some water and put my phone into the speakers on the counter in the middle of the kitchen. I placed my music on shuffle and started walking around the kitchen to gather ingredients. The Ballad of Sara Berry from 35mm started playing and I started to dance and sing along with it. When the water started to boil I added the pasta.

"You got your silver Sara, you got your crown. You got their blood on your roses in hand. You donned the sash and scepter, doing a dance as you crowned you Queen of High School Land." I sang along with the soundtrack. I turned around to grab the last ingredient and jumped in surprise. Seto Kaiba was standing in the doorway of the kitchen with a frown.

"Oh. Hey, you're awake. Are you feeling okay? You guys were out for a while." I frowned when he just stared at me suspiciously.

"Okay," I drawled, grabbing the final ingredient and turning back to the stove. "I'm almost done making some food. You guys should eat something. I hope you don't mind having meatless ground beef and pasta. Are the others up?"

"Who are you and why did you kidnap us?" His tone was harsh.

"Holy hell Rich Boy, hakuna your tatas. I didn't kidnap you guys. I'll explain later when everyone is awake." His frown deepened. "Look, I know you're used to people doing what you ask since you're a CEO, but you'll just have to wait."

"You know who I am, that much is clear, yet I don't know your name."

"I'm Hailee. Eighteen year old girl just a short five months away from graduating from the Hell known as high school." I could tell by his frown that he didn't appreciate my sarcasm. Hmph too bad for him, he'd have to get used to it.

"Could you watch the stove while I go check on the others." I didn't wait for him to respond. I left the kitchen and headed up to my room. When I walked into my room, the others were starting to stir.

"What happened?"

"I'll explain downstairs." My voice had the eight remaining teenagers look at me in confusion.

"Who are you?"

"Wait where's Seto? What did you do with my brother?"

"Your brother is fine. He's downstairs in my kitchen. And to answer your question, I'm Hailee. If you guys come with me, I'll explain everything downstairs."

A few minutes later, I sat with the group of nine in my living room.

"So, are you going to tell us why you brought us here or not?"

"Like I said before Kaiba, I didn't kidnap you. Okay this is going to sound weird so you guys are just going to have to hear me out. You guys came out of my TV."

"What? Are you serious? What kind of idiot do you take me for? These dorks might be gullible enough to believe your fairytales but I'm not like them."

"You want proof? Okay." I turned on the TV and went to my recordings. I played the first one and watched as all nine pairs of eyes widened.

"What?"

"How is this possible?"

"This has to be a trick."

"I have no idea how it's possible. My TV started glowing and then you guys came out. And it isn't a trick. Believe me, I've tried pinching myself already."

"This doesn't make any sense. I'm three dimensional, not a cartoon."

"Well obviously. You're not in Domino; you're in the real world. Of course you wouldn't be a cartoon, that would just be weird."

"Wait, we aren't in Domino?" Yugi asked.

"Nope. You aren't even in Japan."

"Then where are we?" He asked again.

"California. Welcome to America, home of obesity and burgers!"

"How are we supposed to get home?" Tea asked in a worried tone.

"Hell if I know. That's what we have to figure out. We should also figure out why you two have separate bodies as well cause that's not supposed to be a thing." I gestured to Yugi and Yami as I said the last part.

"You're nuts! You guys seriously aren't stupid enough to believe this junk are you?" Okay, Seto Kaiba was my favorite character, but now that I'd actually met him, his bad attitude was starting to get on my nerves.

"This 'junk' is real Kaiba, and the sooner you accept that, the sooner we'll be able to get you guys home. Now everyone wait here while I call someone. You can't stay here because my mom would flip so we need to find you somewhere else to stay." I walked into the kitchen and grabbed my phone from the speakers. I dialed my best friend and held my phone to my ear.

"Hello?"

"Brittney I need a favor."

"Oh my God who did you kill?"

"Would you grow up? This is serious."

"Oh damn, you're right. I can see you now, you have the 'this is serious' furrowed brow going on. I can hear it in your voice. Lay it on me."

"Does your family still own that house up in the hills by your house?"

"Yeah."

"And it isn't rented out?"

"No. Why?"

"I need you to take me and some other people there. Come pick me up and I'll explain everything."

"Alright. I'll be right over."

"Thanks. Oh, and bring the Octa-Mom vehicle. We have a large group."

Twenty minutes later, Brittney pulled up in her four doors, twelve-person car. It was times like these that I thanked the Lord that my best friend's mom ran a day care. She stepped out of the car and flipped her shoulder length blonde hair out of her eyes.

"Okay Hails, what's going on? Whoa." She stopped when she saw Kaiba and grinned broadly. Oh no. She has her libido eyes on.

"How tall are you?" She asked, cocking her head to one side.

"None of your business."

"Wow, tall, dark, handsome, and sarcastic. That's a ten on the babe scale."

"I don't date."

"That's too bad. We could really use your genes in the gene pool. Especially here where the hot guys are pretty much nonexistent."

"Okay!" I said, clapping loudly to draw attention away from my libido crazed best friend. "Everyone pile in."

"So do you mind filling me in now?" She asked as she pulled out of my driveway and started down the road. "Where'd you find these guys cause apparently you've been looking in the right places to find attractive guys."

"If I tell you, you have to promise not to act like I'm crazy."

"Psh I'm your best friend. I already know you're crazy." I flashed her a hard stare. "I'm just kidding Hails, jeez de-stress your breasts. Of course I won't judge you."

"Okay. I'm just letting you know it's going to sound really weird."

"Just spit it out would you? You know patience is a virtue I lack."

"Okay, okay. Brittney, this is Duke, Tristan, Joey, Serenity, Tea, Yami, Yugi, Mokuba, and Kaiba," I said, pointing to each of them in turn.

'Wait, aren't those the names of the characters from that show you're obsessed with."

"Yeah. That's who they are. They came out of my TV."

"Hailee you bitch! You tried drugs for the first time without me didn't you? Damn it I thought we agreed we'd get high for the first time together!"

"Would you stop it with the yelling? And watch what you say, I don't mind swearing but Mr. Stick Up His Butt over here might not want you using colorful language around his brother. And no, I'm not high. I'm completely serious."

"You realize you sound crazy right?"

"I know it sounds crazy but it's the truth. You have to believe me. Why else would they look like real life versions of the characters on the show?"

"Okay, I'm only believing you because I can't think of another explanation right now, but I want to let you know that you're crazy."

"Yeah, yeah. Tell me something I don't know."

Not much later we pulled up to a small house that was at the end of a dirt road.

"Well here we are everyone. Welcome to the Hardy spare house, unused since 2009."

"This is where you'll all be staying," I explained. "At least until we can figure out how to get you guys back." Everyone climbed out of the car and followed Brittney as she walked up to the house and unlocked it.

"Okay. There are two rooms with beds on this floor and a bathroom. On the second floor there's three more rooms and one more bathroom. If you run out of room, there's a couch on the living room."

"Here's my number," I said quickly, scribbling my number on a piece of paper that I had pulled out of my purse. "Call me tomorrow and I'll come over so we can figure this out. Until then, no one can leave. People might recognize you and we don't want to risk that. If you guys are going to be here for longer than the weekend, we'll have to find disguises. Okay?"

"Thank you for your help Hailee."

"You're welcome Yugi."

"Seriously Hailee, you're bein' a big help." I smiled at Joey.

"I'm glad to help. I feel bad for anyone that has to stay in our town for too long. I'll see you guys tomorrow okay? And don't worry. We'll get this all sorted out." I hope.

Well, there's the first chapter of my first ever self-insert story. I realize that the idea of them coming out of the TV is probably over-used, but I plan on taking this story in different directions than others have gone. Anyhoo, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Review and let me know what you think! Peace out girl scouts.
