Me: This is a story that has been roaming around in my head for quite some time

Millie: Yes, I just hope it's alright.

Both: We own nothing, so begin!

The first rift had opened. Just after she and a few of her friends had been thrown in. They had landed in front of the first place that came to their parents mind, Duel Academy.

"Might as well get enrolled. We're already here," said a boy with teal hair and black eyes. His name was Daniel

Another boy with teal eyes and black hair nodded. He had a crocodile strapped to his back. His name was Michael.

The leader of the three, a girl with brown hair with teal streaks throughout it and emerald eyes with bits of brown swirled in, looked to her friends. She could easily have it arranged so they could get in and be introduced in the morning.

"Daniel, Michael, we'll sleep out here today. We can go in tomorrow," she said.

"If you say so, Emiko," said Michael.

The young girl, Emiko, took out a small locket. She opened it and looked at the picture of her parents.

"Momma, poppa, I promise you, they will not take me away from you. But, why did you send me here?"

The picture was of a two young men. One had teal hair and emerald eyes and was wearing a white suit. The other had brown hair in two-layers. The top almost orange and the bottom was brown. He had chocolate-brown eyes and was wearing a white dress.

"We'll do what we have to here, and save your mother in the future," said Michael. He put a hand on her shoulder.

"Yeah, we'll find what we need here, and go back home to our parents. It'll all be alright," said Daniel.

Another time rift opened just before they left and another boy was pushed through. He had brown hair and grey eyes. He got up off the ground and smiled.

"Hi guys!" he chirped happily.

"Hello, Ryou. Why did your parents send you here now?" asked Daniel.

"No clue. But, Emiko's parents sent us a massage. They said we must hurry. Her father has said that her mother has been incased in crystal. If he's taken, Emiko will fade away, as if she never existed. Emi-chan, your dad said we must hurry. A princess must save her people," said Ryou.

"I know. We're camping out here for the night. In the morning, I'll get us enrolled," said Emiko.

Ryou nodded. He took out a small capsule and pressed a button on it. He threw it toward the forest and a small house formed from it.

"I'm always prepared. Let's go, it's late and I wanna know if what the sages told us was true," he said before he walked toward the house.

"That's our little Ryou," said Daniel.

"You gonna ask him out?" asked Michael teasingly.

"What? No!" Daniel yelled while blushing.

"Whatever," said Michael while walking toward the house.

Daniel ran into the house after Michael. Emiko felt a tear slide down her cheek as she felt her mother's pain. She could feel the pain in her mother's heart and her own heart. She could also feel the sorrow her father was feeling. The sorrow toward her mother being trapped and the sorrow he was feeling because his only child was on her own.

Emiko had a job to do. She had to get what she needed from this time before heading back to the future to save her mother. This was not gonna be easy. Especially with her friends in love with each other. Only one more friend was missing.

"He'll be here soon. He should show up while we sleep. He always has a way of surprising us," she said with a chuckle.

A small rift opened and another boy fell through. Emiko blinked. She thought he would be here a little later.

"Jun? What are you doing here so early?" she asked.

Jun, as Emiko had called him, had grey eyes and black hair. He was a bit on the arrogant side and he was in love with Michael.

"I needed to see my lover. And my younger brother can't be left alone," he said.

Daniel was Jun's younger brother by two years. Their parents hadn't wanted only one child like the other parents. They had chosen to have two and thus, Daniel was born two years later.

"Alright. Don't frighten the others. We'll be enrolled tomorrow," said Emiko.

Jun nodded. He walked toward the house and entered it. Emiko looked up at the full moon and felt her power flow. She let a few tears roll down her cheeks as she remembered her parents again.

"Yuko. I need to know everything will be alright," she said.

'I cannot know for certain. I am sorry, my light,' said a voice.

"It is alright. Promise me, you will only appear when I ask."

'That is a promise, my light.'

Emiko smiled. She wiped away any tears and smiled toward the moon again.

"King Jesse. Queen Jaden. Your only child shall not fail you. That is a promise that will be kept. From now, till forever."

She ran to the house where her friends currently were. She opened the door and found her friends laughing and getting ready for a toast.

Emiko felt lucky she had good friends. She knew they were always there for her whenever she'd need them. She knew they were like a second family to them.

They would have a lot to do the next day. And they hoped it wouldn't involve the evil searching for them. The evil that was trying to split them apart.

Everything would, hopefully, be alright.

Me: Please review!

Millie: I'm going to a play, so goodnight!

Both: Review good! Flames will only fuel one of the characters powers! We're not telling which!
