(Disclaimer: I don't own any Nintendo Characters or any other character, (or vehicle) in this story. I did create my own characters from those though….so don't expect to see a Yoshida action figure anywhere ^_^. So yeah.)

Yoshida: Ok, I am taking a break from my other story, and writing this one (which is connected to that story….) Now I know this is some what of a cross over….but it just has KITT (and a com-link) from Knight Rider in it, and the Delorean Time Machine (which I gave it a personality) from Back To The Future. But it is still 98% Yoshi. (shoot, got another idea….ANYWAY)

On with the story.

Yoshida sat alone under a tree looking on at the festival going on before her. Today was Family Day, a time where all the Yoshis come to Kumquat Valley, and hang out with their families. The weather was beautiful. The sun shown brightly, and there were only a few puffy clouds in the sky. The area smelled of fruit pies, and other assorted goodies. Yoshida looked up at the clouds and stared at them. Then a familiar face blocked her view.

"Hey Yashi, what's going on?" Yoshiko asked. He sat down next to her, and offered her a drandi berry (btw, I made them up). Yoshida refused. He now knew that something was wrong. It was practically impossible for anyone to pass Yoshida with at least one of those berries without her clobbering them for it. She was so addicted that she was easily caught by Sir and Erick because of those things. Something was wrong. "Yashi, are you ok?"

"No. But I survived this long. I'll be fine." Yoshida said, looking down and began playing with a leave that had just fallen.

"What do you mean?"

"Family Day…" Yoshida said. She closed her eyes. Yoshiko knew somewhat what she was talking about but was still confused.

"What about it?"

"Well, I see all you guys having fun with your families. I wish I had one. But no! Sir had to kill them. For what? I was never told. Whatever they did to deserve their death, I wish they never did." Yoshida said. Yoshiko leaned over, and gave her a hug.

"You do have a family. You have Nat, Summer, Sashi, Nobi, KITT, DL (the Delorean) and me."

"Yeah I know, and believe me, I appreciate you guys so much, but I still wish I could have at least met my mom and dad."

"I understand." Yoshiko didn't know what to say. Was there anything TO say?

"I wish they didn't get themselves in trouble. If only we could change the past…." Yoshida began to say. She perked up. Yoshiko knew what was coming next.

"No Yoshida! You could be playing with fire doing that! You know it is dangerous!"

"I know…" Yoshida said. "But what if I could prevent whatever it was, and save my family! Having my family here, and not being pursued by that dumb koopa, is my biggest dream, and I can make it come true!"

"I know how much you want that, but who says that Sir still won't be coming after you. You wouldn't have met any of us. And I am sure I speak for everyone when I say we wouldn't know what to do without you!"

"Yeah I know…." Yoshida trailed off.

"I don't mean to sound selfish or anything, but please promise me you won't time travel. For both yours and our sake."

"Alright." Yoshida said with a tone of disappointment.

The day ended, and Yoshida called KITT to come pick her up. He pulled up to where she was, and opened the door.

"Hello Yoshida." The black Trans Am said.

"Hey KITT." Yoshida sighed.

""You seem down. I am guessing you didn't have a good day."

"It was ok. Bad at first, but I mingled with my friends."

"Then why are you so blue, as they say?"

"Just seeing everyone with their families got me down."

"Oh. It's going to be alright. I mean, you do have DL, the crew and I. We will always be your family. Even though I am a car, and you are a Yoshi, doesn't mean we aren't family. I have learned from past experiences that anybody can make a family, related or not. It is all about love. There are others out there with nobody. At least you have someone to come running home to, or to be there for you," KITT said. He hoped he said the right words.

"Thanks KITT. You are right. Just because we aren't blood related, doesn't mean I don't have a real family." Yoshida said, perking up a bit.

"Happy I can help. Now let's get home. My power packs needs to be recharged." KITT said, starting his engine. The silent hum of his engine made Yoshida smile. It was soothing to her in a way.

Yoshida woke up early the next day. She walked outside her house and saw Jeorki (a totally made up dragon, I have created…called a Konodon) went for a morning flight. She walked to the garage, and opened the door.

"Good morning guys." Yoshida said to DL and KITT. DL was facing the back wall. Both cars usually park with their nose to the garage door. "What's up with DL?"

"Oh, he got angry with me again. He thought that I micro-jammed his circuitry." KITT said. Yoshida pictured him rolling his eyes, if he had any.

"Well, I am going to take DL out for a run. I promised him I would take him to the field so he could fly around. He felt trapped with all these trees." Yoshida said.

"Alright." KITT responded. He usually had a jealous nature towards his drivers driving a different car than himself, but he got used to DL. DL had a personality like him, and he didn't mind (anymore) that Yoshida drove DL as well. If it was another car other than him or DL, he would be upset.

DL backed out, dimming his headlights at KITT. Yoshida hopped in and they were off.

***

"Ok, DL. Let me down. I had enough roller coaster riding today." Yoshida said trying not to throw up. She hated roller coasters, and DL was really good at acting like one, swerving this way and that, flipping upside down, and the like. DL lowered to the ground, and Yoshida got out. DL continued doing his tricks.

Yoshida walked as best she could, without falling, to a rock and leaned on it, trying to regain herself. She slid to the ground, and continued watching DL, who was now showing off for her. Yoshida clapped.

Just then something moved in the bushes behind her. She paid no mind to it. There were a lot of little animals around. It could have been anything. But then she heard something else.

"Yoshida" a familiar voice called out to her. Yoshida cringed. Two seconds later Sir and Erick were standing on either side of her.

"So, I hear you were at Family Day, without your 'family'. That is very depressing. I would have been happy to be here." Sir said. Erick began laughing, and Sir joined in. Yoshida looked down in disgust. "I bet it was very depressing for you. Not being with your family. But you see, I can make that happen for you." Sir chuckled. Yoshida got up and was ready to run, when Sir grabbed her shoulder and pulled her back. "Where are you going?"

"Away from you!" Yoshida said, throwing a flame at Sir's hand. Sir started jumping around, yelling in pain. Yoshida ran.

"Should have never given her those powers." Erick said.

Yoshida ran to DL who was on the ground ready for her. She hopped in, and he shut the door. Sir and Erick began running towards the still car. Yoshida got an idea.

"DL, Do you have enough fuel to time travel?" She asked. DL got excited, and he revved his engine. He loved time traveling. Yoshida got a mischievous smile on her face, and turned on the time circuits. She punched in a destination, and checked the flux capacitor. "Alright DL, lets go!"

By this time, Sir and Erick were at the car, trying to break through with their claws. DL put himself into drive and started skidding before he went. The back went side to side, hitting Sir and Erick, and the DL was gone. Sir and Erick got up and walked over to the flame trail left by the Delorean.

On the path towards where they were was the Yoshi crew. They saw Sir and Erick standing by the flames, and started running.

"Oh no!" Nat said. "What happened now?" They caught up with Sir.

"What did you do now?!" Nat exclaimed.

"I didn't do anything! The brat evaded me again!" he said. Then both he and Erick stormed away, grumbling to themselves.

"Oh dear. Now where did she go?" Sashi asked.

"I wish I knew!" Summer responded. She looked at Yoshiko who had this shocked look on his face. "Yoshiko, are you alright?"

"I can't believe it! She promised me…" He said.

"She promised you what?!" Nat inquired quite loudly. He looked as if he almost was going to jump Yoshiko if he didn't answer him in two seconds.

"Well, we were talking yesterday about her family. She wished she could have met them, and wished she could have changed what they did. But unfortunately, she had DL. I asked her to promise me she wouldn't time travel back, and she said she would, but…" He trailed off and pointed to the area where the fire died down.

"This is great! She is going to help her family!" Nobi said. He began dancing around happily chanting. Nat grabbed ahold of him.

"Nobi! She could mess something up! It is very dangerous to time travel!"

"Oh." Nobi said, with a bit of confusion in his face. Nat didn't bother to explain.

"Well, what are we to do?" Summer asked.

"I dunno." Nat said. He then became excited.

"What? what?" the rest asked in unison.

"We could at least check her progress there. I mean, if she went there to help her family, she is bound to show up in older newspapers."

"Where are we going to find those. I mean, the library might have gotten rid of those older papers a long time ago." Summer said.

"We go to KITT. He has all the information!" Nat said. He turned and ran towards Yoshida's cave.
