Sammy

I dropped the invisibility as soon we hit the ramp. I noticed that there was a medical team in the gate-room. I rushed to the group tending to Danni. "She's unconscious," Dr. Frasier told me. "Danny said that something similar happened before. Can you tell me what?"

I nodded, "She fainted from a slight fever. Dad made her a grape slush to try and cool her down, but it barely helped. Uncle Tuck had been trying to perfect a special medication for her and the newest batch hadn't been used yet. Dad took a chance and it helped. I should have made her take it before we left." I started tearing up again, "I'm not a very good brother. I should have paid attention to her symptoms."

"Sammy, I need to know if you have her medicine with you," Dr. Frasier said. I nodded. "Let me take it and see what we can do to help Danni. And by the way, you're a better brother to your sister than others I have seen. You look after her even though you don't need to."

"Alex has the formula to it in case you need to make it in liquid form," I replied trying to keep from crying.

Dr. Frasier placed her hands on my shoulders, "That's a good idea. Now go and find your cousin and meet me in the infirmary."

I nodded and looked around the room, Danni was gone. I guess they took her away while Dr. Frasier was distracting me. I took off to find Alex.

Seto

I was pacing the halls, looking for an empty room to set up my laptop, when a medical team rushed past. "She's stable for now, but that fever's high," one of them said. "Careful of that arm, Atem said that she broke it in a fall after being stunned."

"Are you sure it's a fever," another asked. "Her temp's 98.6."

A third replied, "Her normal temp is around 86, so yes, it's a fever."

I decided to follow. Once they got her to the infirmary, I realized that it was Danni. She looked terrible. I felt someone rush by. "Dr. Frasier, I got the formula for you and Alex is here to help you with it," Sammy said. He went over to Danni, "Please be alright, little sis. I don't know who would help me prank our uncles and the ghosts back home if you aren't. Besides, who else would I have help me freak out Uncle Set-set with our Partial Possessions."

I mentally growled at the name Set-set. Mokuba called me that when we were very little and I tolerated it from him only. I know from research that there are very few, if any, other people with my name. I continued watching the Twins. Sammy refused to leave his sister's side when his cousin came to get him to leave to go get something to eat. "Danni's sick," Sammy snapped. "I'm not leaving her until she at least opens her eyes."

I walked over to the boy, "You getting sick from not eating will not help if your sister is sick. Go and get something to eat. I'll be here until you get back."

Sammy nodded and left. When he left, Mokuba came in, "Hey, big brother. I just got in and someone said that you were in here. What happened to the girl?"

"She's really sick, Mokuba," I replied.

Mokuba looked at her and then back at me, "Who is she? And why was that boy upset when he left?"

"Her name is Danni and that boy is her older twin brother," I told him. "I know his pain. Seeing your younger sibling lying so still is enough to scare even me."

"Oh."

"Where else are we going to locate this chemical," I overheard the doctor tell someone over the phone. "You are the only company that I know that carries it."

I walked over to look at the list that she had. I recognized the name of the company. It was one that I funded now and then since they carried components that I used in my systems. I took the phone from her. "Listen and listen good, this is Seto Kaiba," I growled. "If you don't give the good doctor what she needs, not only will the fate of a sick child be on your hands, I will pull any and all funding that I've given to your company. Your company will be ruined when word gets out that a child could have been saved, but due to your stubbornness, that child's life was lost." I handed the phone back, "They should work with you now."

Within minutes, the doctor had the required supplies for the girl. It was going to be personally delivered by the closest branch of the company within the day at little to no cost. The girl's brother came back, "Thank you for watching my sister. I promise not to let anyone outside this room know of it."

I stared at him, "…"

"I respect your privacy and if I were in your shoes, I wouldn't like to have others know that I watched over another's sibling in sympathy."

I nodded and left with Mokuba in tow.

Daniel

I went to see how Sammy was holding up and found out that Janet had just received a chemical that was needed for the liquid form of Danni's medicine. Sammy was sitting by Danni's bed. She was sleeping. As I neared the bed, Sammy looked up, "Hi."

"How's your sister," I asked.

Sammy shrugged, "So far, so good. The last time she had an attack, as we call them, she was far worse than this. At least this time, she's not struggling in her sleep; which is a good thing."

"Sorry to interrupt, but I need to put an IV with the medication in," Janet stated.

Sammy nodded, and moved. "I really hope she wakes up soon," he says, watching as the IV is placed in Danni's arm.

Jack came in and waved Sammy over, "Let's go out for a bit."

Sammy shook his head, "I really want to stay with Danni, you know, in case she wakes up."

"You know that old saying about a watched pot," Jack mused. Sammy stared at him. "Well, neither do I. You need to get out for a bit. What do you say to a fishing trip? I know a great place."

Sammy smiled, a first in a couple of days, "Yeah, but I bet ten booster packs that there's no fish."

"I don't know what you mean, but if there are, I'll bet five bucks," Jack laughed.

I shook my head, "Jack, you of all people should know better than to bet with a kid, let alone a teenager."

"Aww, spoilsport," Jack scoffed before guiding Sammy out of the room. "Call us if she wakes up."

I sat there in silence for a while. About 1: 30, Danni woke up and groaned, "Where?"

"Just a minute Danni," I said. "Janet, she's awake."

Janet came over immediately, "How are you feeling, Danni?"

"Like I got hit into a wall by Skulker," she replied.

"I don't know what you mean by that, but if it's anything like some of the stuff the team's been through, then I think I have a rough idea," I said.

"Where's Sammy," Danni asked.

I looked at her, "He was tricked into going on a non-fishing-fishing trip by Jack."

"Hey, Danni," Yugi said, entering the room. Atem was right behind him.

"Hey, guys," she said, trying to sit up.

"Take it easy, young lady," Janet scolded her. "You just woke up and I'm not letting you leave until that IV had stopped."

Danni looked confused, "Huh? What IV?"

"The one delivering your medication that apparently your uncle developed for you only."

Danni looked at the bag of liquid medication, "Oh great. Mom's gonna freak when she finds out about this. I'm gonna get the riot act for this one."

Yugi held up a deck, "I thought that you might like to Duel since you're not allowed to do much at the moment. Yami said that he'll watch from a distance."

"I'd like to Duel Yami, if that's ok? But I think Sammy has my bag in your room," Danni said. Atem got up to go get it. "Um, Yami? Could you stay?"

Yugi smiled, "I'll be right back with your bag."

He left and I decided to call Jack, "I'd better go and call Jack to let him and Sammy know that you're up and feeling better."

Danni nodded, "Thank you Daniel."

Yami

Danni looked at me once Daniel left, "I wanted to thank you for watching over me and tending to my arm, Yami. And to again apologize for constantly avoiding you. I should have heard you out when you had approached me."

"It's alright, Danni," I said. "Yuudai explained most of it to me when he appeared. Sammy's Guardian is very wise. Yugi was the one that pointed out that you and your brother are not unlike ourselves."

Danni nodded, "Our uncles noticed the same thing when we were little. They were always watching over us, even though one of them had a business to run as well as a special school."

"It sounds like you like your uncles," I replied.

"Yeah, they're the best," Danni laughed. "They got us our first decks when we were old enough to start Dueling. One of our uncles got Alex his first patent on something he made. Sammy learned how to pull the best pranks and got the same uncle a few times with my help. I learned to always stay true to my friends and trust in myself from a few of them, and I learned from one of our aunts how to dance; which as you saw, helps during battles. They may be our godparents, but they are truly family to us."

Yugi came in, "I found your bag, but it looks like Sammy may have deconstructed your Deck."

"Sammy's always doing that when he gets nervous," Danny laughed. "If he takes his apart and still doesn't feel any better, he takes and puts mine back in my binder. Sorry that the bag's a bit heavy, I never like to leave without my cards."

Yugi handed Danni her bag and we watched as she removed a large, overstuffed binder from it. She pulled out a much smaller, but also overstuffed, blue binder and opened them up on the table. Danni had organized her cards starting with traps and spells and ended with the classification of monsters by their elements. "I've barely scratched the surface with organizing my cards," Danni said, noticing that Yugi and I were looking as her system. "I'm still going to alphabetize the spells and traps, and do the same with the monsters after I separate them according to their type, like effect and normal, and arrange them in order according to their level."

"That's a lot of work," Yugi pointed out.

Danni grinned, "Yeah, but I feel that it helps me to understand the cards better. Plus, it helps not only to build a decent deck, but if I want to trade a certain card, I can find it better."

"Why do you have your cards in two binders if there are empty pages," I asked.

"I've had issues with people stealing my rares and decided to put them in a separate binder for their protection," Danni replied. "There are a few cards that aren't rares, but I treasure them because they were gifts, or are hard to get, like Exodia. Here, take a look."

She turned the blue binder to us. Yugi and I carefully turned the pages. Some of these were cards that we had never seen before, but quite a few were very familiar. "Why do you have an Orichalcos monster in here," I questioned her.

"I got it in a box of booster packs and sense I felt that it was not a very good card to use, trade, sell, or give away, I kept it in the binder. I sealed it in that bag to show that under no circumstances was it leaving my possession."

"That was very wise," I remarked.

"Wow, Danni," Yugi cried out. "You've got four Dark Magicians!"

Danni laughed, "Actually, I have five Dark Magicians, four Blue-Eyes, and three Red-Eyes. There are also non-useable copies of the God cards. I have three Slifers and two each of Ra and Obelisk. I also have a legal copy of Ra and Obelisk that can be used in Duels, though I choose not to. Why mess with the Gods when I can't even summon a monster above four stars without help? So not worth it."

'Non-useable copies of the God cards," I asked.

Danni nodded, "Yeah, if you look at the fine print on the cards, it's printed on there 'This card cannot be used in a Duel.'"

After Danni built a deck, we began our Duel. We were evenly matched in life points, but it seemed that it was taking longer for her to finish her turns. When we were fifteen minutes into the game, she hadn't made a move for two minutes. I glanced at her and noticed that she was sleeping. The doctor came over to check on her at that moment, "How's my patient doing?"

"She fell asleep during our Duel," I replied. "If it's ok, I'll take her cards to our room and return them to Sammy when he returns later."

"That's a great idea, Atem," Dr. Frasier stated.

Yugi and I gathered Danni's cards and placed them in the deck box and placed it and the binders in her bag. We left the room shortly after cleaning up.

Jack

I had provided enough of a distraction for Sammy when I took him fishing. He was enjoying himself a bit. "Um, Jack," he said looking up at me from his spot on the dock. "Danni's awake. She's feeling a lot better."

"Do you want to go and see her," I asked.

Sammy smiled, "When you're ready to leave. She's talking to Yami."

I had gotten used to the Twins referring to Atem as Yami. I do have to admit that it was a bit of a shocker to hear someone other than Yugi call him that at first, but the Twins refused to call him anything else.

After about an hour, I noticed that Sammy had fallen asleep on the dock. I smiled and reeled in our poles. I picked Sammy up, surprised at how light he was. Let me tell you, he looks like he should weigh around as much as Tucker or Joey, but he weighs about the same as Yugi. I placed him in the passenger seat of the car; and after securing him; I went and collected our gear.

I went inside and called to let General Hammond know that I was headed back. He told me that Danni was better, but was staying in the infirmary until Janet could check her for any lasting damage from the Zat. I started the engine and headed for the base. I did make a quick stop for dinner and to get Danni a gift.

Sammy and I headed to check on Danni after we checked in. She looked much better than she did when we had left earlier. I placed a scruffy, tan teddy bear wearing a green, stripped shirt next to her. She opened her eyes when Sammy came close to her. "Hey, big brother," she said, half asleep.

"How are you feeling, little sis," Sammy replied, smiling.

Danni yawned, "Sleepy."

"Try to sleep then," I told her. "Besides, it's almost midnight."

"Thank you for the teddy bear," she whispered.

I smiled, "You're welcome. Come on Sammy. It's past your bedtime and I'm sure that Yugi and the others are sound asleep already."

"'night, Danni," Sammy said as Danni fell asleep again.

Sammy and I left the room after that. He looked up at me, "I wanted to thank you for helping to keep me from losing it earlier. I was so worried about Danni that I was letting everything bother me. I know that had Danni known that I was making myself suffer when she was sick; it would hurt her as well.

I mussed up his already scruffy hair, "Don't worry about it. Besides it was nice to have someone to fish with for a change."

I sent Sammy to bed and headed to my own quarters for the night.
