Authoress: My first story on FF.net, so please give me some reviews.

All Yu-Gi-Oh! characters: Not another story!

Authoress: Is the news that bad?

All the guys: Yes! There are enough stories about us! We're getting tired.

Authoress: Watch it! I can make it extreme torture for you.

Seto: *sacastically* Oh, I'm so scared!

Authoress: You should be! Let's see....I'll cut back Joey's and Tristan's food, rip up Yugi's Dark Magician, rip up Kaiba's Blue Eyes, have Kaiba win a duel against Yami, make Bakura really nice, let Ryou do something, well, not right, for Mokuba, I'll have something bad happen to his brother, and the other guys will lose badly at Duel Monsters against a one-year old!

Joey and Tristan: NOOO! NOT THE FOO-

Kaiba: NOT MY BLUE EYES WHITE DRA-

Yugi and Yami: NOT THAT! PLEASE NOT TH-

Bakura: PLEEEEASE NOOO! I EVEN SAID PLEASE! NOO-

Ryou: I BEG YOU. DON'T, PLE-

Mokuba: ANYONE BUT MY BRO-

Authoress: *Tries to talk over all guys* This is kind of AU, but not quite. Nephirelle (my OC) has met the gang before during Duelist Kingdom, but she left after the event. I'm just telling you this so you won't get confused. Oh, and I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh. Now the story.

________Prologue_________

After Battle City, everyone's life went back to normal...sort of. Bakura wasn't as evil as he was before, Isis and Malik left, Mai and Joey were boyfriend and girlfriend, and so was Tea and Tristan. Kaiba got the Millenium Rod, and actually got a girlfriend! He only did that so he could learn more about his girlfriend's(Therese) company, so wasn't very close to her. Kaiba had another one before her named Katherine, but he broke up with her once he found out that her company was weak. Serenity moved in with Joey. Yugi and Yami stopped worrying about the Millenium Puzzle. Traces of Nephirelle was still in their memories, however. She was like a leaf in the autumn wind: ready to fall, but never did.

~~~~~~~~~~~

I wonder if they still remember me, thought a brown-eyed girl. She stared blankly at the sky, millions of thoughts running through her head.

"Mistresss, the plane and servants are ready,'' a voice said behind her.

The girl sighed. She picked up her bag. "Very well. I am coming.'' She followed the servant to the plane.

~~~~~~

Once aboard and in the sky, the girl took out a picture. A picture taken before she left. It showed five cheerful boys, three smiling girls, and a tall, dignified guy. The brown-eyed girl sighed once more. She could remember it like yesterday...

---flasheback---

'Since our dear friend is leaving tomorrow, we might as well take a picture of us all so she won't forget us,'' said a brown-haired, blue-eyed girl.

''You too,'' said a black-haired boy to his expression-less brother.

"I'll set the time for Joey's camera to take our picture," began the brown-eyed girl.

"Because the monkey here will burn up his own camera if he does it," sneered the black-haired boy's brother at a yellowed hair guy.

''Hey!'' shouted the yellowed hair guy, trying to fight him, but restrained by a brown haired guy, a white-haired guy, and a small, tricolor-haired guy.

''Stop it. Let's take the picture already,'' said a yellow-haired girl.

Everyone got in their position. They smiled. "Don't be tense! Be normal. I want this picture to represent our normal selves,'' said the brown-eyed girl. Everyone relaxed. The girl set the camera for 5 seconds, and hurried toward the others. "Be yourselves!'' she said, and the picture was taken.

---end of flashback---

The brown-eyed girl smiled a bit at this memory. I can't wait to see them all, she thought. I wonder if they changed....

Authoress: Now that wasn't so bad. You guys hardly had a part in the prologue.

Seto: Girlfriend?! And two!! I'm so OOC! When this is done, I'm gonna kill you.

Joey: Ha ha! *singsong voice* Kaiba got a girlfriend. Kaiba got a girlfriend... *gets smacked in the head by Authoress* Ow! What was that for?

Authoress: You can't make fun of him! There are reasons why he has a girlfriend. Besides, he doesn't even like them. He only dates them so he knows about their company. *turning to Seto* So you're not OOC. Anyway, you probably know who the brown-eyed girl is! See if you're right in the next chapter.
