Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!!!!! Arian, Moonsong, and Phenominom are c themselves.

Author's Note: Chibi is now called "Chibiette", and my co-author (Phenominom) also wrote some parts, so just watch out for some major insanity!!!!

            It was Joey who found out who that really were, or rather, they found him. He was out for a walk because he was bored. He had walked to the park and was standing in a small clearing when an ominous black shadow passed over him. Joey looked up, and seeing as how stupid he was, (A/N: No offense to Joey fans!) he only saw an outline of a dragon in the stars. 'Stupid thing, really, for them to get a dragon in the star . . . hey, wait a minute!! Why is it getting larger?' He screamed, and his world went black.

            "Pity that it had to be him- he's really quite cute."

            "Well, Yanimi doesn't think so! She's got the hots for Malik! Anyways, what's he doing here?"

            "He was caught seeing one of us. Arian had to make him sleep to bring him back- he's stirring!"

            Joey groaned: the 2 voices he heard seemed oddly familiar . . .

            Joey opened his eyes and looked around. "Where am I- hey, where's the dragon?" A sharp pain in his wrist told him that he was bound to the table that he was now laying on.

            "Relax, Yanimi just wants to see you."

            "Moonsong?" Asked Joey.

            "Yup. It's me. Arian, go tell Yan that he's awake." This last comment she said to a black-and-white timber wolf (A/N:Sorry, Arian: can't have you being green now, can we? * smiles evilly*), who trotted out of the room. Pretty soon, the wolf came back with another mortal behind it.

            Yanimi smiled as she looked down at Joey. "I knew it would be you."

            Joey just stared at her as her hands started to glow. "What are you doing?"

            "You'll see soon enough," Moonsong stated, her hands glowing as well.

            "You'll tell no one about this," Nomi informed him. "Or you'll wish that you were never born."

            Joey found himself at the front door of his house. He rushed in and saw Yugi sitting on the couch, his eyes never leaving the front door. When his eyes rested on Joey, he jumped up, saying, "Joey! Where the hell were you? Do you know how long it's been since you left?"

            The dazed Joey looked at Yugi, saying, "Uh, a half-hour?"

            "No, Joey," said Yugi. "You've been gone for 4 hours. Explain yourself."

            Joey had never heard Yugi talk in that tone before- or maybe it was his Yami.

            "Well, uh, it all started . . ." Joey then proceeded to tell Yugi about what had happened in the park, forgetting all about the warning Nomi had issued. "And, Yanimi likes Malik."

            Yugi sat there, on the couch, and without warning, he jumped to the floor and started rocking, knees to his chest, muttering," The aliens are coming!"

            (A/N: JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!)

            By now Yugi/Yami seriously doubted Joey's mental stability. "So, all the new kids are aliens?" He inquired.

            "No," said Joey. "They're all immortal mythical animals!"

            Yugi retorted, "You need help."

Later that day, when they were at school, Joey spotted the new kids who abducted him. "Ahhhhhh," he mirfed (A/N: is that really a word? I don't think so, Nomi!), seeing Yugi was talking to them. He was asking them what had happened him last night.

            "Um, just Arian saw him in the park and she talked to him," Moonsong said.

            "And we-mmrph," Phenominom said, cut off by Yanimi, who glared at her." Phenominom swallowed, and said,  "What? All we did was try to ask him where the candy store was."

            Ryou remarked, " See, look, her eyes are now yellow!"

"No, they're not!" Exclaimed Nomi (A/N: Nomi is short for Phenominom.)

            "Then why are you so confused by the color of your eyes? Everyone should know her eye color!"

            "I was going to call them gray, but I like the sound of blue better," Nomi said confidently.

            "They're  'confidently' yellow," Malik muttered to Bakura.

 "Oops," said Nomi. "I had too much sugar this morning, didn't I?" Her eyes turned a brilliant blue, more blue than anyone had ever seen. "There's no point hiding that now, is there?" Wondered Nomi. "Mood contacts!"

"Then- why are you wearing glasses?" Wondered Malik.

Taking off her glasses, Nomi said, "These are polarized glasses . . ."

Sunlight struck Nomi's glasses, turning them black. Nomi put them on, said "Excuse me," and went inside the school. Yanimi followed her in.

"Good trick with the glasses," remarked Nomi to Yanimi. "Why do we have to hide, anyway? Yami's my age, too."

"I know it sounds absurd, but wouldn't you two know each other?" Yanimi inquired.

"I wish I could find my memory. I really want a name. I bet I could remember everything once I had my name."

"Memory spell?" Wondered Yanimi.

"More or less likely, and it's a good one," Nomi said. "And Phenominom isn't really even a name."

"More like a nickname," Moonsong said. She had come to join them in class with Arian.

"Well, at least now I know that I'm an air and dark element." Nomi stated.

"Where'd you find that out?" Asked Arian.

Nomi replied, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice, "I can see in the dark and I can control weather."

Yanimi heard a tiny "Meep," and turned around to find the ever-small Chibi standing right behind her. "Chibi!" Exclaimed Yanimi

"Why are you here?" Asked Nomi. "You can't be in here!"

"Why not?" Chibi asked, giving Nomi the puppy eyes.

"Relax, Nomi," Yanimi said. "She's a grade lower than us."

"But won't people notice the size difference?"

"Chibi's almost as tall as us!"

"Yanimi, I think that the ship is in his bedroom!" Chibi pulled at Yanimi's sleeve as she said that, and pointed to Yugi, who was coming through the door.

" Nomi you left your backpacks outside in the rain . . . hey, who's the kid?" Yugi asked.

" I'm Chibi."

"Oh, Kao's new friend, right?"

Suddenly, Yugi was called away to the office, and Yanimi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ooh, he can play cards, can't he? Poker?"

Yanimi blinked at the now-hyper Nomi. "Nomi, he plays Duel monsters."

"Oh. I knew that."

Yanimi looked at her watch. "Nomi, we'd better go in- the bell's gonna ring."

            CHEMISTRY CLASS

            Nomi and Yanimi were lab partners with Ryou and Yugi. Nomi was already wearing her goggles. "What do we get to use today?" Nomi inquired. "Acid, carbon monoxide?"

            Ryou didn't say anything, because, just at that moment, a gold-and-silver butterfly had just flown into the room. "Ooh, pretty 'fly (A/N: * shakes head* Ryou's on drugs.)." He started chasing it, and accidentally hit the lab table that had "Cumbric Acid" on it, and the acid fell off. Right on to Nomi.

            "Ow," she said, and fell, wings growing out of her back. As Ryou picked her up, she said, "I'm sorry, Ryou," and fainted dead in his arms.
