Danni

I seemed to have frightened the younger version of Uncle Ryou. "Care to explain why you said that I am your 'godfather' and why you called the baka Pharaoh your 'uncle'," Bakura hissed, coming closer to my bed.

Out of reflex, I reached for Sammy. "Don't you go any closer to my sister, you monster," Sammy ordered him.

"I'm alright, big brother," I said releasing the grip I had on his arm. "And no, I can't tell you, at least not at the moment."

^Sammy, I think we're in big trouble when we get home.^

^^I agree with you there sister.^^

^I fear that Uncle 'Kura is in for one of your pranks too.^

^^You bet he is. Nobody hurts you without incurring the wrath of Sammy Fenton, the King of Pranks.^^

^Oh, brother.^

^^That's me.^^

I groaned and smacked Sammy in the face with my pillow, "Quit being such a smart alec. You're s'possed to be setting an example for me."

"Nu-uh. You and I are twins, so that don't count," Sammy stated.

"You're like five minutes older," I pointed out. "That makes you the responsible one."

"I hate it when you use logic," Sammy pouted. ^^You must have learned that from Uncle Seto.^^

Just then a lady wearing a lab coat came over, "Alright young lady, It's time to change those bandages. I need everyone else out."

"Can I at least stay with my sister," Sammy whined.

I put on my best 'puppy eyes of Doom', "Please let my big brother stay."

I smiled as the younger versions of our godparents shuddered at my ultimate 'weapon of innocence."

"Man, Yug, she's just as good as you, Ryou, and Mokuba with the innocent eyes," I heard Joey whisper to Yugi. "In fact, I think she's better."

Everyone but Sammy left the room. When she was satisfied that the others were long gone, the doctor came back, "Now let's get those bandages changed."

I winced as she removed the bandages. From the way it felt, it was mostly healed. I wasn't surprised, but she was. I knew this from the way she darted to the closest red button. ^Sammy, I'm scared.^

About ten seconds later, three armed guards and the man from earlier came rushing into the room. "Explain yourself," he demanded.

I froze at this change in tone. Sammy took a defensive pose near my bed, "Don't you dare touch my little sister."

"No one heals that fast without something to explain it," the man said.

"Well, we do," Sammy growled. "We were born this way."

Sammy went to give me a reassuring hug and I heard a shot fired. I formed another shield out of reflex to deflect the bullet. However, my shield only slowed down its speed and it hit Sammy's shoulder. "SAMMY," I cried out as I saw it hit.

My powers went out of control and the electronics nearest my bed started to go nuts. Some of them blew, but the larger ones simply shorted out. Glass bottles exploded, sending shards everywhere. Everyone backed up immediately, not sure of what to do. "How could you hurt my big brother," I cried. "I wanna go home."

Sam, Jack, and Danny came in just then, "Danni? What happened in here?"

"They shot Sammy," I sobbed. "I wanna go home, where all we had to deal with were ghosts."

The doctor that started this whole mess stepped forwards, "Sir, I'll need to remove the bullet before he bleeds too much. We may also need to give the girl a sedative."

The man nodded. "Don't you take my brother away from me," I cried, holding my brother close to me.

"Um, guys? I don't think that that's what Danni needs," Danny said. "She's frightened and your shooting Sammy doesn't help matters. And the fact that you just mentioned a sedative may have made it worse. Let me try something." He came closer and whispered to me, "Use your powers and help him then. Just calm down before you try to help him." He gave me a reassuring hug, "Ready to help Sammy?"

I nodded and took a deep breath. Wiping away my tears and concentrating on my 'task', I placed my hand on Sammy's shoulder and phased it through to try and locate the bullet.

Janet

I was shocked as the girl removed the bullet from her brother without causing him more damage. But the next few seconds were impossible. She healed her brother's injury without a healing device.

"Danni, I think you should explain to these people your 'gifts'," Danny said.

"Only if Mom says it's ok," I thought I heard her say, drying her tears.

"Do it, Danni," Sam Manson to her upon entering the room. "Tucker had a feeling that it was one of you that shorted out his PDA. You should have seen his reaction when it shorted out in his hands."

Danni paled and nodded, "Sammy and I are part ghost. We sort of inherited our powers from our Dad, though we had a bit of difficulty with gaining some of them as we got older."

I noticed that the poor girl was scared senseless from the fact that her brother had been shot right in front of her. I heard a faint groan, "Wha 'it me? 'id 'ulker come hun'ing us ag'en?"

"Sammy, are you ok," Sam asked the boy, concerned.

"M'alright momma," I heard him mumble, "Can so'one turn down tha lights? Muh 'ead urts."

Danni laughed, "He's going to be ok. Sammy tends to get a bit lightheaded if I use too much power healing him."

"So why do you two look like Sam and Danny," Jack asked after observing the interaction between the four.

"Sir, remember that they said that they're from the future," Sam pointed out. "There's really one explanation, are Sam and Danny your parents?"

Danni nodded, but Sam spoke, "We really only met them about six months ago when they and Alex were sent here to protect them from one of Danny's worst enemies. When they went back, or forwards, to their own time, we followed to help. In the end, it was the twins that prevented the destruction of their timeline."

"Well, I see no reason that you should stay in the infirmary," I admitted. "You can go. Don't worry about your brother, he'll be safe here."

Danni nodded and followed Sam and Danny from the room.

Later…

Yugi

I accidentally bumped into Danni while I was 'speaking' with Ryou through the Hikari side of the Link.

^Sorry. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going.^

I was shocked.

{Yugi? Did you here that too?}

*Yeah. It sounded like a girl's voice.*

{I heard a girl speaking through the Hikari Link when I asked Sammy if he had called the Pharaoh 'uncle' and said that Bakura was his 'uncle'.}

^That's because I did.^

I looked at Danni. "Sorry if I startled you. I was looking for the infirmary and got lost."

"So how is it that you can speak through the Link," I asked.

Danni sighed, "Uncle Yami and Uncle 'Kura realized that Sammy and I are almost similar to you guys. Apparently, Sammy's the yami half and I am the Light half. Once they realized that we could already speak to each other mentally, we were trained on how to improve that Link and to eventually speak to you through it."

"I heard that you, Sammy, and Alex are from the future," I said. "Is it true?"

Danni nodded, "Yeah."

"Wow," I started, "So what's it like and why did you call Yami and Bakura your uncles?"

Danni laughed, "The future's not much different than it is today. The Internet's a lot faster though and the games are wa-a-a-y better. Duel Monsters is still the best TCG game ever. And as for why Sammy and I called Yami and Bakura our uncles are because they reminded us of our uncles. They look almost like them."

"So, why did your brother tell Bakura that you looked up to him," I asked. "He's not the type of person one should look up to."

I shrugged, "Like I said, he looked like one of our godfathers-slash-uncles."

"Oh. Want to hang out with me and the others for a while," Yugi offered. "We're going to watch a movie and Duel until somebody tells us who's going on the next mission."

I shook my head, "Thanks, but I need to go see if my big brother's awake yet and get these annoying bandages removed."

"What happened to your brother," Yugi asked, concerned.

"Some hotshot military man shot him when Sammy tried to hug me when I was upset," I said.

"Well, I hope he feels better," Yugi stated.

I sighed, "Yeah, me too. If he's awake, I'll try to find you guys and hang out, that is if it's ok."

"Of course it's ok," Yugi said. "How about I lead you to the infirmary?"

I nodded, "That would sure make finding it a whole lot easier."

I had felt Sammy stirring a few minutes ago, but wanted to see him before the military people started to question him. I found him just barely starting to open his eyes. "Hey big brother," I said cheering up a bit. "Are you feeling better?"

Sammy nodded, "I heard you scream as I passed out. Are you ok?"

"A bit shaken up, but as long as you're fine, I'm good," I replied.

^^So what strange thing are we going to start if I'm going to get shot at now. I mean, we do a three-way Duel every time you get knocked out during a ghost fight, and when Alex goes and does something normal as get grounded we pig out on cheese pretzels and soda pop.^^

I smiled, ^we could always prank the person with the least awareness or the worst attitude.^

"I like where you're going with this, little sister," Sammy said. "I just have to wait until I'm released from here, then we can plan."

"Uh, what are you two talking about," Yugi asked. I totally forgot that he was there. "I remember you talking about a 'tradition' and 'ghost fights'. What does that all mean?"

I sighed as Sammy stiffened, "In our time, Sammy, our father, and I fight ghosts. It's actually a family business, but the three of us are the ones with 'gifts'. Dad got his in an accident, while Sammy and I inherited ours. Anyways, after I was knocked out, don't ask how, and woke up at home, I was confined to my bed for days. Mom wouldn't let me up, even though I'm a fast healer. So Sammy and Alex decided to try and 'distract' me from my misery. We decided to do a three-way Duel since I couldn't decide which one to go against."

"Oh," Yugi said. "So what did Sammy want to do?"

I looked at Sammy, who was smirking. "I just want to prank somebody. I'm really bored and want to so something."

Yugi looked nervous. "Don't worry, you and Ryou are safe from Sammy's pranks," I reassured him. 'Uncle Yami is too. But Uncle 'Kura is in for a rather rude awakening,' I thought to myself, reading the look on my brother's face.

After the doctor from earlier checks Sammy over and releases him, Sammy darts out of the room. Yugi and I follow after him.

^Sammy, slow down. You're going to run into…somebody.^

Sammy had just run into Uncle Tuck and the man that he'd been following. "He he," Sammy laughed nervously. "Sorry, I didn't see you there."

"Aren't you that kid that they had in the infirmary earlier," the man asked me. "The one with the serious burns?"

"Possibly," I said, "why?"

"Where are the bandages and the burns," he questioned.

"I, uh, gotta go" I said, before grabbing Sammy and Yugi and dashing off the other way. "Look out," Yugi cried when he saw that the hall we were in led to a dead-end.

I concentrated and with Sammy's help, phased us through and into the room where the others were, "Oops."

Tea

We were waiting on Yugi to come back with one of the new kids. I forgot which one it was that was still in the infirmary. Joey was playing a four-way video game with Alex, Danny, and Tristan. Ryou, Sam and I were watching them when I saw three people pass through the wall behind the boys. When they came to a stop, it turned out that they were a terrified Yugi and the twins. "Oops," the Danni said when she realized that we were all staring at them.

"Daniela Elizabeth-Anne Fenton, Samuel James Fenton," Sam raised her voice, "how could you two carelessly expose yourselves like that?"

The twins paled. "There was a guy in the hallway that started questioning me on my burns from earlier," Danni supplied. "I had to get away from him."

Joey looked confused, "How do you know their full names if they never told us?"

Danny dropped his controller and sighed, "We met them before. The twins and Alex were sent here from the future to protect them from my worst enemy."

I looked from the twins to Danny and Sam. "So let me guess," I said. "Danni and Sammy are your future kids and Alex is Tucker's?"

The five of them paled instantly, proving my theory. "What is your full name, Alex," Joey asked.

"T-t-tucker Alexander Foley," was the response. "But I'd much rather be called Alex."

Just then McKay and Tucker showed up. McKay didn't look too happy, "How did you three manage to get in here when you went down a completely different hall? Let alone one that leads to a dead-end?"

"You've already blown your secret to everyone in this room," Danny said crossing his arms, "as well as my own, obviously. May as well let him know too."

Danni looked at Sammy in fear. "Alright, I'll do it," Sammy gave in. He sighed and walked through the wall. "Your turn Danni."

Danni nodded her head and copied her brother. Danny got up, "May as well get this over with now." He followed the twins, going right through the wall.

Joey thought that the wall was a holograph and tried to do the same, but was met with solid, well, whatever the wall was made of. "That's gonna leave a mark," he said, holding his forehead.

The three of them came back in and sat against the wall. "What we're about to tell you cannot leave this place," Danny said. We nodded. "I, along with the twins, am part ghost. My status was, is, the result of an accident when I was fourteen. The twins inherited their powers when they were born. The reason I don't want this to leave here is because there are people, ghost hunters, after me. And if they find out about me, they will certainly find out about the twins. Though they came here once before, only Sam, Tucker, and myself remember that."

Danni continued, "Sammy and I started getting our powers when were about seven. But it could have been earlier with almost unnoticeable spurts. When we were ten, I almost died gaining almost full access to my 'gifts'."

"Since we returned home, Danni and I have been trained to protect our home from ghosts that want nothing more than to cause mayhem in our world," Sammy added. "After a while, Dad decided to allow us to go on a couple of surveillance-supervised ghost hunts. This in itself was a form of training. Our parents still watch us this way and tend to come in if it looks like we're having any trouble with the ghost we're trying to capture."
