AnimeKiwi369: Hello everyone! I am celebrating today!

Anny: Celebrating what?

AnimeKiwi369: Yesterday was my two year anniversary on FanFiction.

Anny: Oh, congratulations.

AnimeKiwi369: Thank you. It's been a good two years since I joined. So to celebrate, I updated my profile and am updating "Psychic Connections".

Anny: All right.

AnimeKiwi369: So I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's or its characters. I only own my OCs and the storyline. Enjoy everyone!

Psychic Connections

Chapter 24

Anny kept her head buried in the chemistry book she was reading for the homework that was assigned over the weekend. It was easy enough. Just to read over the first couple sections of the first chapter. That was what a lot of her first week's homework was. Except for her calculus class. She had a few review problems from trigonometry and pre-calc to do. And for her duel class she had to separate her deck by card type for the lecture that was going to occur the following week.

She was at the school's library, getting the work done, while it was still open. She was just about done. She didn't need homework when she had a party to prepare the following day. It was a going to be the following night as a welcome back party for both Yusei and Akiza. For obvious reasons; the cobalt-eyed Signer was out of the hospital and the brown-eyed one was finally back in New Domino. Not to mention it was a surprise party. Both the married Signers were going to spend the day with each other and all of their friends. The Signers, former Dark Signers, Sherry, Bruno, and all of the other kids were going to keep them distracted as the young psychic set up the welcome back party. Hideo and Setsuko were going to come over, though they were coming over for Yusei, since they didn't know the redhead was back. The dark-haired girl was excited to see them; she didn't know why, but she'd always felt a connection to them, though she didn't know why.

She carefully read the last line of the last section she was supposed to read and shut the book. She grabbed her calculus book and opened it to the page where the review problems were. Having had to repair her duel runner back in Westerly Canyon, she'd had to use some trig problems for when she reassembled it so it didn't fall apart because of its shape. A lot of classes were easy, but she had always had some trouble with physics and a little bit with trig. But with her father's help, she was able to understand it.

The dark-haired girl tucked her hair behind her ear as she hurriedly, but carefully worked each problem. She shivered slightly as a slight breeze came from behind, which was weird. She wasn't really near a window. But she shook it off, thinking it was the air conditioner since it was still fairly warm. The breeze or whatever it was blew behind her again, causing her hair to fly in her face slightly. She pushed her hair back behind her ear again. Another breeze blew her hair again.

Now annoyed, she turned around to see where it was coming from, but didn't see anything. Anny turned back around, tying her hair into a ponytail to prevent her hair from going in her face again. She went back to her review problems, finishing them up quickly. That had been the last of the homework. As she shut that book, a pair of hands covered her eyes from behind. Just a little confused she grabbed one of the hands with her own and then smiled.

The brown-eyed psychic entwined her fingers with Kyle's as she stood up slowly, turning around. The male psychic removed his hands from her eyes and wrapped one arm around her waist. The heard a slight cough that got their attention. They looked over at the librarian, who was giving them a slight warning look, causing them to separate from each other. Neither one of them wanted to get a demerit for public display of affection, even though they did want to have a little PDA. They had very deep feelings already. Both hoped that those feelings would last.

The brown-eyed girl packed up her things and left the library, heading to her locker while the halls were still open. As she put her things into her locker, her boyfriend slipped an arm around her shoulders. The dark-haired girl looked up and down the locker hall, finding nobody there. She smiled slightly as she closed her locker. The two of them walked out of the hall to an outside bench to spend a little time together before they decided to leave.

"I'm glad we met." The sandy-haired teen told his girlfriend, "Because I don't think I've ever been so happy. Especially since I just had to move here."

"I know the same feeling." She replied, putting her hand on his shoulder, "This is one of the good things I can see from my mom leaving. If she hadn't, I would have never had to find her, and I wouldn't have met you."

"Yes," he said.

The two of them simply sat there for a few minutes enjoying each other's company. The two eventually pulled away from the other after the dark-haired girl's phone started to vibrate in her pocket. She took it out, looking at the text message on her phone. It was a simple message from her mother saying that she would be home soon. She replied by saying she was glad.

"It's probably about time I got going." She commented, slightly wistful, "I need to help my mama get settled in. And I have to get ready for the party that's going on for my parents tomorrow."

"I understand," he responded, placing a kiss on her cheek. "My mom's tired of having boxes around the house, so I have to do some unpacking. But it's only me tonight since mom started her new job and dad has an interview about now."

"Okay," she replied in return. "I'll help if I have free time tonight."

He grinned slightly, "Sounds good."

Anny stood and waved goodbye as she left her boyfriend to go to her runner. She couldn't stop smiling again. It was going to be a good weekend. Nothing could spoil her day. She made her way to the student duel runner parking lot towards her vehicle. The psychic saw a familiar redheaded figure at her runner and smiled even more. The person heard her coming and looked over at her.

"Mom!" the brown-eyed girl exclaimed, reaching the Signer, "I thought you were going to be back tonight."

"I said I'd be home soon, didn't I?" Akiza responded, smiling, "I wanted to surprise you by picking you up, even though I knew you brought your runner."

"This is a great surprise, mom." The young psychic replied, "Dad can't wait to see you. Even though he knew you were going to pack up, he still missed you."

"I know," the Signer told her daughter. "I've missed him too, but I called him earlier, telling him I would pick you up."

"Oh, all right." The girl responded. She smiled, "Let's get going then."

A Little While Later—At the Fudo Household

Yusei heard the sound of a car pulling into the driveway, making him look up from the paper he was reading. He smiled softly; he knew who was back. Akiza, his wife. And probably their daughter, too, since the female Signer said she'd be picking the young psychic up as a surprise. Dove was upstairs catching up on sleep she'd lost because of the baby. The dark-haired Signer remembered how his wife used to do the same thing when they were first starting out with their child. Crow was at work with Jack and Kalin. In truth, the Satellite native felt useless being stuck in the wheelchair for a couple months. But he knew it was the price to pay for having been in such a bad accident.

That didn't matter now, though. Just as long as he could still be with the ones he knew and loved, he'd be fine. He set the newspaper down as his wife and daughter walked through the doorway, both of whom were smiling. He was glad to see his daughter in a good mood, and was more than happy to see his wife smiling again. He'd missed that smile. Both the psychics came into the living room once the spotted him.

"How are you doing, dad?" Anny asked, "Feel okay?"

"I feel fine, Ann," he responded, "Are you all right?"

"I'm fine, dad," she returned, "I'm great actually."

"That's great," the Dragon Head Signer replied. He looked over at the redhead and took her hand, "Akiza."

"Yusei?" the brown-eyed woman asked in return.

"It's great to have you back." He said softly.

She smiled softly and leaned down, gently touching her lips to his, "It's great to be back."

The Following Day

Anny lied down on the couch, exhausted. Everything was set. All decorations were in place. All the food was prepared with the welcome-back cake was out of the oven and decorated. The living room was rearranged, so many people could be in there. The guests of honor just had to show up with everyone else. It had been a productive three hours setting up. The psychic was ready for the gathering to start up and be over. Though she knew she should finish what she started by taking down the decorations and everything, she was going to ask Brandon and Luke to do it. Or put it off for a couple days.

She heard a knock at the front door and forced herself to get up. She was a little confused since she hadn't called the adults to tell them it was all right to bring Yusei and Akiza. She wanted a few more minutes of peace and quiet. She knew it couldn't be Kyle, since he still had homework and unpacking to do. She went to the front door, yawning a little. She looked through the peephole and was surprised to see Hideo and Setsuko Izinski.

She opened the door with obvious surprise on her face, "Hideo, Setsuko, what are you doing here so early? I was just about to call my Uncle Crow to tell him that he could bring my parents back here for the surprise."

"I know we came early, but we wanted to tell you something important," The former Senator replied.

"Umm, okay…?" She responded a little hesitantly, "Come in, please."

"This is something we should have told you a long time ago," the redhead commented as the three went into the living room. "But because your mother wasn't around, we never told you."

"You knew my mother?" the brown-eyed girl questioned. The couple slowly nodded, "You know she's back, right?"

"Yes," the brunette-haired man replied without hesitation. "Your father called us a few days ago to tell us that she was back. That's why we need to tell you this while you're alone."

"We wanted to tell you sooner," Setsuko commented.

"What is it?" Anny inquired.

"Annylynn," Hideo said with a serious tone, getting her attention more, "Setsuko and I are your…" He trailed off a little. He took a deep breath before continuing, "We're your grandparents."

The psychic blinked a few times, "Wha?"

"We are your grandparents, Anny," the redhead reiterated her husband's words, "Akiza is our daughter."

The dark-haired girl blinked a few more time before letting herself fall over on the couch in pure shock. She'd known her grandparents for years without even knowing they were her grandparents. That made her a little dizzy. But it made her happy to know that she did have actual blood-related relatives other than her parents. Still, she was shocked. She wasn't expecting that to be the news though. Or to get it like that.

"You're my grandparents." She said, looking at them from her sideways position. She smiled brightly at the couple across from her, who smiled back, "I have grandparents!"

"We're sorry to have kept that from you for so long," the redhead told her again, "But we thought it would be strange if we got to know you as grandparents since your mother wasn't around for so long."

"I understand Setsu—Grandma." The dark-haired girl replied, "I completely understand."
