(Hey everyone:This is another Kaiba story, based totally around Mokuba. I hope you all enjoy it as much as you're enjoying The Kaiba Diaries! ^_^ )

Chapter One: Stranger than Fiction

"Come on, Marty. It's time for school!" Cloris Blodgett sighed. "You can watch Yu gi oh later!"

"Cloe! Mokuba 's on. Shh!" The eight-year-old glowered, before returning her attention to the tv.

"Marty! If you don't turn that damn thing off now, I'll unplug it!" Cloris glared at her little sister.

"FINE!" Marty turned the tv off, sadly. Ever since their parents died, Cloris had lost her touch at being a sister. "You never used to mind me being late before." She spoke to Cloris' picture. "If Seto Kaiba was my brother, I would have so much more fun. Mokuba and I could have tons of games to play. I wish Mokuba was real." She threw a penny into their terrace fountain. Of course, she didn't really believe in wishes or magic anymore. Not since the crash that killed her mommy and daddy. It was just something she did randomly every once in a while. She walked out the front door, just in time for her nanny to take her to school. "Hi, Nancy." She followed her silently, brooding.

Mokuba Kaiba was having a pretty boring day too. Things hadn't been good between he and Seto for the last two days. His big brother had been gone for almost two months. When he'd gotten back two days ago, he'd seemed a little less like himself. He spent all his time in his laboratory, claiming he was behind schedule. Fine, Mokuba thought as he got home from school. If Seto wants to ignore me, that's fine. I'll just wait until he realizes what he's doing. He walked into his room, with a sigh. Sometimes, he wished he wasn't the only other Kaiba. He wished there was one more, so he would have someone to play with. More importantly, he would be able to take care of them. He fell asleep with that thought.

While he slept, some kind of magic began to work. It was the realm of imagination. A brilliant light of gold coloring surrounded his sleeping form, and sucked him into its hole. In a few minutes, Mokuba was transported into a room that was equally as lavish as his own. The only difference was that this room was decorated in blues and whites, girl style. It was the bedroom of Martina Blodgett, the girl who had called for a friend to play with.

**A Few Hours Later**

"I don't believe it!" Marty stared at the figure on her bed, in shock. "Mokuba?"

"Huh? Where am I?" Mokuba stared at the little girl, wide-eyed. "Who are you? How do you know my name?" He had been freaked out when he woke up in the girl's room.

"I'm Martina, but everyone calls me Marty. This is my room." She walked over, and poked Mokuba in the stomach. She had to make sure he was really there.

"Hey! Easy. That hurt…." He knew he wasn't dreaming now. "How did I get here?"

"You're real…you're really real.." Marty's eyes shone in disbelief. "I can't believe the fountain granted my wish."

"The fountain? What wish?" Mokuba stood up now. "What do you mean, "You're real"? Of course I'm real…"

She giggled, and grabbed his hand. "Come on, Mokuba. I'll show you!" She dragged him out of her room, and down to the terrace. "This fountain. This morning, after Yu gi Oh, I made a wish that you were real so I would have a best friend."

"Yu gi Oh? As in Yugi? What do you mean, "when he was over"?" Mokuba was more confused than ever. Where was Seto? Would he know he was missing?

More giggling came from the little girl, before she led him off to another room by the sleeve. "This is what I mean." She held up a videocassette, that had Yugi and Kaiba on the cover. "You're a cartoon character."

"A cartoon? There must be some mistake….Marty, where are your parents? I want to meet them." Mokuba was certain by now that he was going crazy. How could this little girl think he was a cartoon? It didn't make sense.

"They….they're dead. They died in a shipwreck last year." She was sitting in the middle of the floor, a pile of Yu gi oh videos beside her. "Mokuba, you're my favorite character in the show. We're a lot alike, you know."

Mokuba sat down beside her,putting a gentle hand on her shoulder now. "All right, Marty. I'll try not to act too weirded out. Can I ask you one thing though?"

"Sure." She looked up at him.

"Can I adopt you?" He smiled. "You know…just for make believe."

"Yes! I'll have a brother, just like Seto." She hugged him tightly. "Wait'll Cloris meets you!"

"Cloris?"

"My big sister. She's the same age as Seto. She doesn't love me as much as Seto loves you though."

"I bet that's not true at all. She's probably just really worried about you." What am I saying?! He thought in surprise. Now I sound like Seto!

"I'm very sure, Mokuba. She hates Yu gi oh. She doesn't like your family."

Mokuba shook his head. He would have to find a way to reason with the little girl. "Well, let's go meet her then. We can play a prank on her!"

"Really?!" Marty's eyes lit up.

"Why not! Come on!" Mokuba stood up, and let her lead the way. He had a feeling he would be with Martina for a long while. He only hoped Seto wouldn't worry.
