Summer had ended and Elie was sitting on the bus on her way to work. It was her first job ever and she was anxiously looking forward to it. Finally! Im finally going to work in a kindergarden!, she thought happily as she left the bus and walked down the road until she reached a nice medium building with pleasantly yellowish walls and pictures all over the windows.
It was very early yet and noone was there at this point, so Elie took the time to inspect all the rooms of the Domino Kindergarden. Basically they all looked the same: Brightly colorer with lots of toys and pencils and paper neatly stored in the cupboards along the walls, just waiting to be used by the kids.
Elie just could not stop smiling as she sat down on the front stairs, waiting for her fellow collegue to arrive. There always were two kindergardeners in this small place.
"I wonder how the kids will be like....", she wondered as she checked her bag for enough candy for the millionth time.

She was late. Again. Jenny tore down the down as fast as she could, ignoring the pains in her legs and the stabbing shortness of breath as she dodged across the road, causing a few cars to skid to a halt and the drivers to yell angrily at the flighty red-head who ran across in front of them in a tearing hurry, waving apologetically.''Lets see... coat... candy... make-up.... toys... papers... all right.'' She gasped, massaging her throat as, seconds later she stood in front of her new workplace- a nice-sized building with yellow walls and a lovely, homley feel to it. There was absurd crayon-drawn pictures all over the windows of outragously-coloured flowers and wonky attempts at human drawings, with ridiculously huge smiles and tiny arms.Kindergarden... this should be. . . interesting! Jenny thought with a confused smile as she entered the building, taking off her white trechcoat and hanging it up on a rack before exploring. It was all so cute; baskets of semi-chewed toys neatly stackedin the corners and big blackboards with chalk drawings and a few spelling attempts- like a messy S-E-T-O painstakingly drawn in white chalk at the botton of the low board. Spelling his name at Kindergarden age? God. Jenny knelt to examine the board- granted, the 'S' was backwards and the 'E' looked more like a three-pronged squiggle.. but at least he was trying.. She crouched down to look at the drawings before stepping back and promptly loosing her balance as she stood on something that squeaked loudly, frightening her. ''WAAAAUUUGHHH!!'' She screamed, falling backwards as her foot made contact with a rubber ducky lying on the floor. ''Owwww..'' The girl pouted, rubbing her painful behind as she got up before placing the toy back in one of the boxes. Hey, I wonder if the other girl is here now.... She stood up and extied the playroom, looking around for a bit before spotting her workmate. ''Hello, nice to meet you!'' She greeted, walking up to Elie and holding out her hand. ''I'm Jenny.''

Elie had heard the scream and had jumped up, hoping that noone had gotten hurt. But when she saw her workmate introduce herself rather happily, she let out a relieved sigh. "Nice to meet you too, Jenni. Im Elie.", she said as she shook the girl's hand. "Are you ok? I heard you fall and scream...", she started, but seeing that Jenni did not seem to have any major bruises or broken bones Elie decided that everything must be rather ok.
"Is this your first time working in a kindergarden? Im asking cause it is for me...It will be one big adventure. But I like this place already. Everything is so cute here so that the children just HAVE to be adorable too, dont you think?", she asked to start a conversation. She wanted to make her first friend in this place straight away. For a moment she glanced at her watch. "We still have about 20 minutes before we have to go and greet the little ones. Im so curious about them!"

Jenni laughed a little sheepishly. ''Oh not to worry- I just fell over a rubber duck.'' She chuckled, looking a little embarassed as she rubbed her left hip ruefully. ''God that floor is hard!" She joked, looking around; glad that her workmate was so nice.''Yep- I've never worked in a place like this before .. its all so cute and innocent, dontcha think?'' She looked around the freindly atmosphere and smiled a little. '' Yeah,I cant wait to meet the kids... but I'm a little nervous in case they dont like me or something like that...'' She laughed a little nervously. ''Or whether their all little evil kids or something like that...''

Elie could understand Jenni oh so well, cause she had similar feelings. "I bet they are all nice and cuddly and that we will have a great time.", she said, hoping that her words woud be the reality.
The 20 minutes flew by rather quicky and soon they were standing at the main entrance to welcome their little protegees. The first ones to arrive really early were two litte boys who looked almost like twins were it not for the fact that one was a bit taller and looked rather bored, while the other was trying to hide behind his big teddy. Both were accompanied by an elderly looking man. "Good Morning.", Elie greeted them poitely and kneeled down to be at the kids' height. "Im Elie and who are you two?", she asked in a friendly voice with a smile. The taller one nodded as a greeting and answered: "Yami.", while the smaller one just hid his face behind the teddy.
Just then a big back limo pulled up in front of the kindergarden and a neatly dressed boy with superior looking airs stepped out, not accompanied by any parent or guardian. He walked towards the entrance and was just about to walk past the group without any word of greeting.

Jenni knelt beside the shy little one. ''Hello- I'm Jenni.'' She greeted, gently tugging the teddy-bears ears out of the way so she could see the little one's face. ''Peekaboo.'' She smiled and the little boy giggled and hid his face again; still too shy.''Come on- lets go put your and mr. teddies' coat up on the coat rack, kay?'' She asked kindly, holding out her hand til the little boy took in and waddled after her to the coat rack while the little boy who called himself Yami nodded and hung his coat up on a low-hanging coat rack quite independantly.''Mr. teddy is so cute- whats his name?'' Jenni asked, leading the shy boy back to the main area. He peekedo ut from behind his toy. ''Teddy.'' He said shyly, dissapearing again. Jenni smiled. Finally-getting somewhere! ''Thats a lovely name, isnt it?'' She told him, patting the teddy on the head and making him nod. ''Yes it is. I like my name.'' She replied in the teddy's voice, faking a gruff santa-like accent and having an epic conversation between herself and the teddy untill the little boy giggled.'' So we have Teddy, Elie, Yami, Jenni...and whats your name?'' She asked him, grinning. ''Yugi.'' Came the tiniest of whispers. ''Yugi? Well Yugi- here's a lollypop for you and teddy to share- okay?'' She slipped the little boy a sweet as he beamed up at her. ''I'll be back.'' She promised, leaving him there and walking over to the other little boy in the neat clothes who was about to walk by them. ''Heya.'' She greeted, walking over to the child, a little unnerved by his stoic features. Yugi -after a few seconds of trying toddled over to Yami and wordlessly handed him the lollypop. ''Please.'' Was the only word he whispered. Yami took the lollypop and tried to open it aswell, but with no avail. ''Could you help us please?'' He asked, handing the lollipop to Elie.

Elie could almost squeal in delight at the cuteness of the little ones, but managed to control herself. She bid the guardian of Yugi and Yami goodbye and then turned her attention to her protegees. "Of course I will help you.", she said with a smile as she took the lillipop out of Yami's hands and opened it. "You are a good older brother for trying to help Yugi.", she told him and gave Yami a candy for himself.
But he just gave it to Yugi too and walked into the building, taking his jacket off on his own and putting it under his name tag.
Wow, such a difference between siblings..., Elie thought as she watched him, while taking Yugi's hand and leading him inside. "Why dont you start playing a game while we wait for the others to arrive?", she asked them and they nodded eagerly, running to the cupboard with the games.
Seto glared up at Jenni and studied her for a while. "Im Seto Kaiba, Mr Kaiba for you. And now take my coat and get out some paper and pencils.", he ordered her.

Jenni stared down in supprise at the rudeness of the little guy that glared at her. Ahh, so he's the kid who wrote on the board... what a little ass- no wait! He's a kid! Give him a chance... She took a deep breath and smiled. ''Sorry Seto- but all the kids at this kindergarden are treated the same. Lets make a deal, okay? I'll put your coat up if you go get the paper and pencils' 'cause I dont know where they are.'' The words came out in an unnervingly cheery voice as she took his coat and stuck in on the rack inside, seething a little.I do NOT like that kid. But then the door banged open and a little blonde boy rushed in, followed by his little brunette sister, who saw Seto and blushed a bright pink. ''Awright! Where's the candy!?!??!'' The little blonde boy yelled, a grin plastered across his face as he grabbed his sisters hand and jumped over to Elie. ''Heya! I'm Joey an' this is Serenity! Who're you??'' He grinned confidently, tugging at Elie's hand as his little sister smiled up at her older brother adoringly. Jenni smiled. Aww- she wants to be freinds with mr. heartless.. I've forgotten how CUTE that initiaton stages in kindie was.... She thought, going over and greeting the siblings.Give 'em a few years and they'll all be knocked-up drug pushers.... well HE will anyway. She thought with a sideways glance over at Seto, who was sullenly drawing or something in a corner table- ignoring the rest of the room.

"I dont take suggestions from random people.", was all Seto said as he handed Jenni the coat and walked to a table in the corner f the room, getting some paper and pens on the way.
Elie smiled happily down at the new arrivals. "Hello Joey, hello Serenity. Its nice to meet you. I'm Elie and I hope we will be great friends.", she said as she gave each of them a bonbon.
"Alright!!", Joey shouted happily and then extended his hand to Jenni, expecting another candy, while Serenity shyly walked towards Kaiba's table, but stopped on midway and turned to the cupboard with dolls instead.
Elie had just started to make sure that she remembered all the names when the next kiddies already arrived. There were two taller ones, about 5 years old, followed by two smaller ones, looking a lot younger. The two older ones were having a loud argument, while the smaller ones were following them shyly.
"I tell you, Zork will take over the world and I will help him!", the kid to the left with long white hair and dark eyes shouted. "No he wont! Cause I will get control over the world first!", the kid next to him retorted, who had long and spiky blond hair and purple eyes. Both seemed so lost in their argument about world domination that they didnt even notice Jenni and Elie. Or they ignored them purposely; it was hard to tell.

Jenni saw where this was going. ''Hey Joey- I'm Jenni.'' She greeted freindly, handing him a lollipop- two actually, one for him and one for Serenity. ''Awesome! You rock!'' He grinned goofily up at the two before running over and tackling Yami. ''Hey dude!!!''Yugi had toddled over to Elie and tugged at her hand shyly. ''I think he wants to be picked up.'' Jenni smiled at the little guy. It was hard to not have a warm heart looking at the shy little guy.''Mind control? YOU WISH! You could'nt mind-control RYOU!'' The taller white-haired boy pointed at his smaller counterpart behind him, who smiled and nodded beigingly. ''Shut up Bakura! I could SO mind control him!'' The other blond boy shot back sulkily, sticking his tounge out at Bakura.''Could not!'' ''Could too!'' ''Could not!" ''Could too!'' ''Could not!" ''Loser says what?'' ''What!?'' ''I win!'' The girl blinked as the two launched in a freinzied disscussion aka arguemnt involving for the most part- three words. The two younger ones- Ryou and the other blonde boy slipped away and went to hang up their coats, after doing so, they spotted Yugi and ran over to Elie and Jenni.''Malik- you cheated!'' Bakura yelled at him angrily, while Malik just grinned. ''Yeah, 'cause Zorc is REALLY goona want a dork like you to summon him.'' Jenni popped in at just the right moment. ''Aww, mini evil dictators. It warms my heart, it really does.'' She didnt mean for it to come across as sarcastic but it just did. ''Hi, I'm Jenni- Bakura and Malik, right? Here's some candy.''Bakura grinned manically and snatched both peices of candy so quickly that it was almost impossible to see his hand move. ''HEY!'' Malik roared, lunging at Bakura, but the white-haired maniac took off running around the house. Go,d he was fast.''Oi! W-wait!!!" Jenni paniced, tearing after the little tyrranist as fast as she could, trying first to catch up with Malik, who was yelling something abound stabbing Bakura through the eye. Lovely.

Elie picked up Yugi, who obviously was looking for some attention. "Dont you want to go and play with the others?", she asked him, but he just shook his head shyly.
Elie looked back inside to see what all the other kids were doing. Kaiba was still at his table writing down the letters of the alphabet with Serenity sitting at the table next to him, sending him adoring glances from time to time, while she dressed up a doll. Yami and Joey were looking at some strange cards, while Bakura and Malik were still running around.
I guess this shy little fellow just doesnt fit in..., she though as she smiled down at Yugi. "How about we go to the book corner and I will read out a story to you?", she suggested and little Yugi immediately nodded happily.
"Yay! Story time!", Ryou and Marik shouted as the turned towards her.
When they reached the book corner and sat down on the soft cushions Elie asked: "So what kind of story would you want?"
"One set in Egypt!", Marik shouted. "No! One set in Britain!", Ryou objected. "Egypt!" "Britain!" And this went on for a little longer. They really are related to the other two..., Elie thought in exasperation. "Then how about one that is set in both countries at some point?", she tried to pacify them.
Bakura was still running away from Jenni. "Haha! You will never get me old lady! Cause I am the king of thieves!!", he shouted and laughed.

''OLD LADY???'' Jenni blustered indignantly. ''Why you little- I'M ONLY 19!!!'' She made a dive at him but missed, crashing into the carpet and sustaining severe carpetburns on both elbows and face as the white-haired boy skipped away, cackling.''King of theives my arse.'' She grumbled, picking herself up off the carpet as Malik turned to cackle at her. ''Whats an arse?'' He asked, looking at her as she got up. Jenni froze. ''Ummm..... go catch the king of theives, honey.'' She smiled, shooing Malik off in persuit of Bakura in order to not answer that question.Nice going Jen- ya coulda got yourself fired. She scolded before takingo ff after Bakura- eventually catching him, scooping him under one arm and walking back into the main room as he struggled. After giving Malik's candy to him-which he whacked bakura over the head with- she flopped down beside Serenity and watched her dress a doll- too out of breath to make conversation.

Little Serenity smiled when Jenni sat down next to her. "Look!", she said as she tugged at Jenni's shirt. "Isnt she pretty?", she asked as she presented the doll proudly which was dressed in a cute pink dress with too mant ribbons for its own good. The doll's long blonde hair too was full of pink ribbons. Serenity was smiling proudly at her creation, hoping to get some praise for it.
Bakura meanwhile sulked in the corner for a while, being teased by Malik for his defeat. But the self-proclaimed king of thieves was not about to give up so quickly. "Watch me! I will prove to you that I am superior to you! By taking over this kindergarden before you will!", the white haired boy said as he got up and went to get some yellow paper, some glue and some scissors with which he then sat down at a table and started working away. After a while he proudly looked at his creation: a very strange-looking crown. Putting it on his head he climbed on the table and shouted: "Bow down in front of your new ruler everyone!"
This caught everybody's attention. Yami and Joey looked up from their cardgame and even Yugi, Ryou and Marik turned around from the story corner to see what was going on. Only Seto didnt seem to care about what was going on. "I said bow down!!!!", Marik shouted again.
"No! You cant be king! Because I am king!", Malik objected and jumped on the table as well, trying to get the crown from Bakura.
"Hey! That's dangerous!", Elie shouted from where she was sitting and wanted to get up to run over to the kids to get them off the table, but Yugi, who was sitting in her lap refused to move for some reason. "Jenni, Im sorry, but could you take that over for me please?", she called to her partner.
While all this was happening a new kid arrived. It was a young girl, wearing a pink skirt and a pink t-shirt with a ballerina on it. She had short brown hair and blue eyes and was listening to a song on her little pink music player as she danced into the room. "Hello!", she called cheerfully. "Isnt it a lovely day to spend with your friends?" The new arrival got Yugi's attention immediately and he left Elie's lap to go and greet his friend. Elie took the chance and rushed over to the table to take one of the boys down, seeing as it would be unfair to leave Jenni in charge with both.
It would be better to keep those two apart as much as possible. They seem to cause nothing but trouble.

Jenni immeadiatly started cooing over the little doll, glad of some respite from chasing a little certain maniac around the room. ''She's adorable- the bows are so.... eh... pretty! They look so fashionable, she could be a model!'' She took the doll and pretended to have her strut down a catwalk in her pink dress and swish her hair around. ''Or she could be a .... '' Serenity chipped in there; ''Princess??'' The little girl said eagerly, warming to the conversation. ''Yeah! She'll live up in a HIIIIIGH tower with loyal and funny servants and a pet horse called.... eh... Tinkerbell and she will wait for her own true love to come and rescue her on his magnificant white horse that Tinkerell will fall in love with too and they'll both get married and live happily ever aft-'' Jenni got a bit TOO carried away, picking up a hosre toy from one of the boxes and returning to the table, making the doll go horse-riding around the table; jumping over the various picture books and sippy cups scattered there. Serenity clapped her hands. ''Whats the princes name!?!'' Jenni preteneded to think hard. ''Well I 'll tell you what- I'll let YOU decide that, okay?'' She smiled, patting Serentiy on the head. ''I havta go and sort out theese two little terrors, okay?'' She ran over to the two boys and managed to pry Malik away- who had gotten half of the paper crown and was waggling his tounge at Bakura defiantly. ''Alllll righty- does this place have a time-out corner or something?'' She muttered, picked up the little boy; careful not to impale herself on his hair. ''Silence, mind slave!'' Malik commanded. 'Release me at once!!!'' Jenni blinked in confusion. That was the weirest title she had ever heard. ''Was I just insulted ?'' Bakura leaped at Marik who wiggled out of Jenni grip and climbed around swiftly unto her shoulders, hiding from Bakura by clinging unto Jenni's neck. ''ACK!!! A .... little.... help... Elie???'' She choked.

Elie rushed immediately to help Jenni, grabbing Bakura who was trying to break free from her grip.
"Please cut it out you two. You are giving the other kids a bad example. Cant you just play normally?", Elie tried to reason with them, but the white haired kid finally managed to break free and landed on the ground.
"We are not playing! We are planning to take over the world! Will you be my ally in my plans to revive the mighty Zorc?", he asked. "Is that some kind of make-belief game? What character should I play?", Elie asked innocently, which however only make the kid glare at her. "Forget it. Zorc will get you all at some point anyways.", he muttered as he stalked off somewhere. Elie let out a sigh and looked over to Jenni. "This is not what I expected. We really should introduce a time-out-zone of some kind...."
Just then Seto walked up to Jenni and tucked at her sleeve. "Check this for me.", he said as he handed her a letter, written in very strange shaped letters. It read: "Dear Mr. Davis, I here bye inform yu that I intent to take ova your companee. I will pai the folowing summ: 6785000 Dolas. Mai agent will discus mor isus with yu. Seto Kaiba"
Meanwhile Yugi tried to start a conversation with Tea, but the girl just walked directly in the direction of Yami and greeted him, smiling sweetly, leaving poor little Yugi almost at the verge of tears.
"There, there, little one. Dont start crying now. It will be ok.", Elie tried to cheer him up as she patted his head.
But her attention was forced to stop for a moment as a little black haired boy with green eyes entered and called: "Hey ladies! Your dreamboy is here!" Added to this he winked at Jenni and ran his fingers through his hair.
