Your Yoshi Story,

[moshi5694]

Moshi ran till she couldn't run no more. She ended up running from the open feilds, to the poullted cities. She hid in the ally for no one will make a big deal. She leaned agenst the wall, and dropped to the ground. She reached into her pocket, and pulled out a spool and a needle. Her shirts always found a way to rip. The only color she had at the moment was black. She sewed up the heart. "That's strange...." she said to herself. Her shirt looked as if it was the heartless design. She flapped her wings, barly making it off the ground. A few minutes later, she was airborn. She flew high and out of sight. She was happy, soring through the open skys. She felt free, free from life. "Maybe this wasn't such a bad change after all." She sang the song "Simple and Clean" to herself on the way to veiw the world.

"A TENT, I should have brought a TENT!!" I was sitting in the wet mountain under a tree which barely protected me, getting wet like never before. "I should have thought of that...it's sitting in the garage probably...and I'm getting very hungry." I was getting worried...a yoshi was supposed to eat a LOT. With my savings if I even got to them, I'd probably feed myself for two days. I'd have to find other sources of food...and this rain didn't help me at all. I needed a few things at home I forgot...but how was I supposed to do that? I'd have to wait till tommorrow. Maybe I'd have to raid a place...or act cute...whichever worked.

I decided to try other things out in this wetness...maybe I shouldn't have brought anything at all. I was thinking a club if a wild animal came...and I doubt I'm going to make a fire with the multi tool thingy. I let out a little cough and decided to think of what to do up in a tree.

As I was climbing a eukaliptis (NO idea how to spell that) tree, I slipped a few times, but my newfound agility allowed me to snatch another branch. Maybe it wasn't so bad after all...I got what I wished. I looked down at the houses...they looked so safe and secure. Teo, next time...please watch your wishing. I sat in the tree...and I had an idea. I needed a tree house! I'd be safe from anything under me, and I might actually be dry...or moldy. Or termites. Maybe a tree house would be nice, I would take that into consideration.

The rain stopped and I decided it was time I got used to my yoshi self...there was so much to be done! I was on the ground, still wet, but not slippery, wondering what I could do now! I again let my tongue out and made shapes, the ability to have an extra arm like this was incredible...and I wondered the size of the things I could chomp on. I exitedly let my tongue out at the leaves of a tree, suprised that they all stuck the length of my tongue, and ate them, feeling my cheeks expand and the nutrients flow out of them. The leaves had a nice taste...till they were out of the nutrients. Then I had to spit them out because it felt like chewing on bark. I looked at the pile of crunched leaves and saw that it was quite a large pile. About my size actually...but the leaves had compressed in my mouth, I'm sure I could eat something my size with little difficulty.

I remembered I was supposed to be also part dragon...if I was truly the yoshi I thought I was. I thought about two large silver wings sprouting...and I felt an itchy and gooey sensation over my back. Two massive wings formed and I could barely keep myself up. I had two huge wings! I tried to beat them but I couldn't. Oh well...I'd figure that out sooner or later. Then something unnexpected happened. My heart started beating faster, and my limbs felt weak. I felt my brain start to cease working...but I kept thinking about being just a yoshi again, panicked...but soon the wings receeded and I was up on my feet again in no time. Woah...side note, do NOT do that again! In fact, when I sprouted my wings, my heart could not pump blood through the wings too. I had to go completely dragon...including the heart...to do that. I don't think I can handle that...so I left...what else would I be able to do?

[red.yoshi]

red awoke the next morning, noticing that his shirt ripped over night. he didnt care to move, he was dead asleep. it was 6:00 in the morning. steves mom came in to wake him up. "its time to get up!" she said calmly. normally, steve held up 5 fingers to show he wanted 5 more minutes of sleep. steve only had 4 fingers though! he shot up, awake. a crash was heard, his mother fainted. steve almost fainted at his appearence too. he didnt take a second thought, he needed to leave, and now. he grabbed all the spell tags laying on his desk. he crashed through the window, not feeling any pain because of shock. he could feel tears streaming down his face. "my whole life, my friends, everyone i know, gone..." he jumped from his roof. he expected to feel hard ground under his feet, but instead he flew upward. "lumiere?" red muttered in shock. a real wryven appeared under steve, chirping like mad. "take me...someplace far away." lumiere obeyed. red clutched onto his spell tags. and off they where, leaving everything. "i need a place to think...and i guess i cant call myself by my real name now..." he said.

[Teo]

OOC: you have real life spell tags

I walked around, wondering where I would go? Well first, I needed that tent of mine and some pocket money...so I went back home as my first stop...

I went on the hill behind my house, I could stay on top of there to avoid being seen, but then what? I could also sneak back to the front of the house, but I'd have a great risk of being spotted. A final option would be to go into the backyard, hope the back window/door is open and no one's home, go through the house, open the front door, sneak downstairs into the garage and hope THAT's not locked either...I'd have to hope it's not locked either way though.

I decided to go the risky way and I slid down the hill to the side of the house, trying to avoid a neighboring window. I managed to make it to the side of the house where we keep two trash cans, one being recycling. The door to the garage was on the other side of this wall... but I would have to spend three seconds in plain view, more if the door was locked. I decided it was worth not getting wet another night like a soggy washcloth and jumped over the trash cans, into the doorway, and twisted the handle. It wasn't locked and I opened it wide, but I scratched the car that was there! I'll just have to live with that and I jumped over the car and rolled on the roof of it, just missing the ceiling, and going into the spot where the second car was SUPPOSED to be, but it was taken out when mum had to go to work. I dashed into a little narrow closet and worked my way to the back where I found a tent...smaller than I remember...last time I used it, I was six. No matter, I took it and made my way out, repeating the process, but locking the garage door behind me this time.

I made my way back up the mountain, but I heard someone scream, I was caught with my bag, a dangling club, and a folded up red and blue tent. I turned around to see it was a nextdoor neighbor with two kids who was in the car, about to drive off to school. The two kids were immedietaly propped up against the window and the car stopped, but the two seconds it took for me to disappear would make anyone doubt what they'd seen.

I ran up to the hill, hoped over the protective fence, and I was back in the mountains...no cash, but a small tent. This and my sleeping bag, I'd be less disturbed tonight.

Monday came, and I awoke at 5:00. "Oh great... I have an hour left until I'm presented with my fate..." I laid in my bed, sweating and anxious. How could I go to school like this? I can only play hooky for so long... "I can't go to school like this! I'll be bombarded with questions that I don't have the answers to!" It was only going to get harder from there...

I wished that today was Saturday instead of Monday. I just wanted to call that doctor on the phone, even that early in the morning, and ask him if he has made any progress. "There has to be a biological way to explain this... But how?" Anxiety filled my head even more.

I wanted to take the whole week off until the doctor knew what was going on with me. In the mean time, I would just e-mail all my teachers for my homework. I had to make some sort of plan to make sure I would still be in good academic standing... even if I wasn't human...

I looked at the clock again. "5:30." What do I do now? I decided to play a game on my computer. In instinct, I connected to the Internet instead. After the dialing process was complete, I was notified that I had a new e-mail message. It was from the doctor in which I had seen Friday.

Jason,
I have found the cause of your transformation earlier than scheduled. If you wish, tell your folks to let you take the day off of school and see me.

I was relieved. "Yes, I won't have to go to school today! No one will see me!" While I was rejoicing, I read the message again. "What could have happened?" Well, if I could persuade my parents to let me see this guy, I could find out why I'm a Yoshi now.

I went back upstairs to my parents' room and woke them up. They've been accustomed now to seeing a light blue Yoshi instead of a normal 16-year old boy. "Man, I'm going to have to take that permit test all over again because I look different now." I guess that would be an issue in the future; right now, I still needed to learn not to panic in public.

I showed my parents the e-mail the doctor had wrote. My mom got up and called me sick into school again, and called her boss to tell him that she was going to be late to work. By the time that I would normally be getting up - about 6 o'clock - I was already in the car and ready to go back to the hospital to see the doctor. "I hope it isn't life-threatening..."

[Lord of the Dance]

I heard the phone ring. My head snapped over, and I could almost see the Mario Kart phone behind the wall. Nothing had been on the news... but that phone would wake my parents up! I snatched it up and heard ~~~'s voice on the other end. "Are you a Yoshi too?" She asked. "Uh, yeah. But I have to go now, tell me if you see something on the news!" I hung up. Wait, if I was the Yoshi I thought I was, then maybe my other dream could come true... I thought of a certain other green individual lovingly. I missed him a lot... I walked into my friend's room again, to see if that thing had come on yet. My friend woke up very suddenly. "Hi, you're still asleep, I think." I told her. "Sure." She replied. "You're one of those green dinosaurs, aren't you?" "Yup."

[Leoshi]

At long last, I decided to rest. Since the moment I walked out of his home, I walked nonstop for hours, into the night afterwards.

"This is begining to become dire. I don't know how I'll live by myself like this." I said. I was resting underneath a streetlight, hiding within an alley. As far as I could tell, no one was aware of how I was.

As I looked around, I realized: "I have no food. Yoshis need much more then humans do, so I'll have to do something about this... but what? Where can I go?"

I knew that I wouldn't last much longer hiding in the shadows. I was too weak, too hungry... too scared.

"Alright..." I said. "I can't do this alone. I'll have to go find someone and ask for help." I said. Taking the sheet, I covered myself and began walking again. This time, seeking for others besides running from them.

[Enrique]

It was now the time of destiny - 6:20. When the car pulled up at the hospital, I quickly jumped out of the car, fearless now, or if I had fear, I ignored it. Time to know, once and for all, why I'm a Yoshi now. The doctor was standing was standing at the door, obviously waiting for me. "Ah, Jason," he said. "I've been waiting for you." "Alright, Doc, what's the verdict?" The dotor chuckled at me.

I followed him to the same room I had followed him to three days before. Except this time, my parents didn't follow me in. I was ready to hear the worst from him. "Okay, Doc, what seemed to be the major malfunction." "You know how mitosis works, right, Jason?" "Yes, I do." Of course I do; we just learned about it in Biology. I got a 96 on that test.

"Well, what seemed to happen was all of your body cells underwent mitosis at the exact same time. This is extremely rare. Well, what happened was that there was an unequal division of chromosomes. First, the duplicated chromosomes were somehow mutated. Then, the division in the chromosomes during anaphase was unequal. The cell which had the lower amount of chromosomes from the pair picked up no cytoplasm, so there was no metabolic reactions occuring, thus, that cell died off. But the other cell still existed.

"This happened with each of your cells; and this process was the same with all of them, which is even rarer. You're lucky to be alive. Any questions?" As he explained the process, I realized that this couldn't be right; mitosis was supposed to be exact... "Yes, I do have three questions. First, how did my memory still stayed the same?" "Well, that information was obviously not deformed during the process." Wow, I still know about Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, even as a Yoshi.

"Second, does this process occur more than once?" "No. Your new DNA is more stable, so mitosis will occur regularly every time from now on, unless you are exposed to a carcinogen, but that's totally different than this." Well, now I know that I'm a Yoshi forever. I'll no longer be human... and will never be ever again.

"Third, should I still go out in public?" "Of course. The police and your school has been privately informed about this, and you shouldn't be exposed to any sort of media after this document was signed by them, and you will have to sign it too. Also, you'll never have to worry about anyone doing laboratory experiments on you, unless you volunteer. You'll have the same rights as any other normal citizen." He held up a 56 page document for me to read and sign. It took me two and a half hours to read the document, but I was glad to learn that I could turn in anyone, anytime, if theystart harassing me because I'm a Yoshi.

After signing the document, the doctor dismissed me from his office. I showed my parents the document that the doctor had me sign and explained everything that the doctor told me. I was now ready to go live a normal life now...

But I was getting hungry. I've been getting hungrier and hungrier every time I needed to eat ever since I became a Yoshi. And I hadn't had any breakfast today...

[red.yoshi]

OOC: you have real life spell tags

ooc: yes, i do...dont make fun of me. im not kidding when i said i play with spell tags in school...i havent been lately though because im missing some of them. i was planing to remake a whole new set on the computer so they would look nicer.

steve finally took a good look at himself. him and lumiere had arrived at a long lake that extended far. it was a week day, so no people where walking the track beside the lake. the spots steve felt from the burning sensation the previous night was still there. every different spot on his body where it burned was a stripe. "i would look completely like my yoshi charater from yoshis corner if i had my blue colar ***** (electric) gave me... i guess ill go by red.." so, red it was. he practiced swishing his tail he felt different parts of his body noticing that many organs where missing, or added. his arms where much smaller, and weeker. he had lost a great deal of weight. red could kick his legs rapidly, and could stay up in the air for awhile. "what to do lumiere? where to hide?" red asked his friend as a horrible thought struck his mind. "what...if..." he couldnt bear to mention what he thought. what if everyone from yoshis corner looked like their yoshi charater? "that would be strange.." he thought. he didnt check with his friends yet. what if even his sister?.. he couldnt think straight. he needed proof that he was not sleeping, and indeed awake. who lived closest to him that he could visit? lumiere could fly him great distances before tiring out. red thought things over as he settled his strange urge for fruit with large quantites of bitter red berrys from a nerby bush. he then sat down on lumieres belly as she rested. another thought added to those in his mind. "where did lumiere come from?" he wondered aloud. "she...she was my companion in rps, but dragons never existed here! they where never real!" he pounded the ground in frusturation and cryed. his life may not of been ruined, but it was changed a great deal. he had to adopt a new way of lifestyle for himself, but he didnt want to. he wanted to live in his warm cozy house. with his family, and go to school...he actually wanted school for the first time in his life. more tears that he shed made the dry ground around him muddy. he finally told himself that he needed to adventure before settleing to find others. even if they wherent yoshis, what would they say when they saw him? "mabye they could hide me..." he thought as he dazed off with a little comfort in the noon sun.

[anjilfan]

So it was me and Keven,sitting in my room..........waiting for something to happen.When Keven said

Keven:"Wanna play video games?"
Ra:"Sure,have nothing elso to do..."

When we started,once again......,I beat him in Super Smash Bros Mele.Quick round.When I heard the doorknob turn!I quickly went in my closet.It was my mom.

Mom:"!!Keven!Why are you here?"
Keven:"I was looking for Ra,I mean, Anjilo!"
Mom:"He's not here?He prabably went to the arcade again........*sigh*he never tells me anything anymore."
Keven:"*Nrvous*I'll....uh....go check at the arcade."
Mom:"If he's there,tell him to come home in an hour!"
Keven"Yes,Mrs.Lozada."

So me and Kev left.I left a not on my dresser, to tell my parents that I've left.

Keven:"What should we do?"
Ra:"Dunno.Let's search for a place,a place where I fit in!"

[Teo]

OOC: I'm not gonna make fun...and some of these posts are really beautiful...

Alone on top of the mountain...nowhere to go, no trees to hide me, but who walked on top of a mountain in a near-isolated neighborhood on a week day? I'd probably forget what was a week and weekend day...for now, it was Tuesday for me...and I still hadn't eaten all day, it must be noon...wait, of course, I don't normally eat until this time...but what would I eat? I had an urge for anything... Maybe I could eat a few more leaves and bushes, just to settle my appetite.

I found a nice large bush and wrapped my tongue around it, constricted the bush, and uprooted it, eating it whole, roots, dirt and all. It felt weird to swallow...whole...but it seemed to cripple and compress when it reached my throat. I felt a little fuller, but I could use a few more bushes. I guess I was an herbivore...kinda. This would take some deal of getting used to. Hope whatever part of me that's human doesn't crave meat...

After finding out bushes were edible and somewhat filling, I practised again a total transformation. I had to learn to become a dragon if I truly was Teo. I could do wings, so the whole body must work too. Now I just hope that my heart will grow with.

I closed my eyes and sat down cross legged, hopping that it would let me concentrate more so I don't mess anything up. I thought about what I wanted to be, although all other thoughts in my head disturbed my vision. After I felt like I wasted time, I went totally calm...but in truth, time had gone by, and it was night. A full moon shown in the sky, but my concentration kept me away from hunger or time. I was lucky not to have the CIA arrest me or something, the last thing I wanted was to have an Autopsy performed on me.

My closed eyes seemed to see through my eyelids and when I opened them, I was still crosslegged, but I was a LOT bigger. I was the dragon I wanted, and I had full control of myself, my wings could beat, my tail would flick left and right, and I could fly. I beat my wings ferociously and gained altitude, excited about this! Then a feeling of horror came over me and I landed brutally.

I couldn't believe myself...I was a dragon, powerful, deadly, graceful, and yet...I was afraid of heights.

[Enrique]

I was starving after my visit to the hospital Monday. When we arrived home, I ate all of the fruit in the house. This was unusual of me... I don't eat fruit as avidly as I did today. "Well, aren't YOU hungry today?" My mom commented. "Um... yeah... I didn't have any breakfast..." I shoved the last grape in my mouth. "Just imagine how much food you'll have to pack in my lunch now!" I grinned at the thought.

I can only imagine what my friends will think when they see me at school. They'll probably freak out or something. Now I want to go to school just to see everone's reaction. All the school officials signed the document saying that I'm a Yoshi now, and now I'll go to school without fear, since the document said that I can't be discriminated because I'm a Yoshi. It's just going to be fun now... But I shouldn't blow my special rule...

After my humongous lunch, my parents started making a diet for me. Not because I have a stranger diet because I'm not a human - in fact, they like the fact that I'll eat nothing but fruit these days - but to prevent me from exhausting the household's supply of fruit again. Also, they're happy that the grocery bill has decreased a little bit since I drastically changed my diet.

But now, my dad reminded me that my learner's permit is no longer valid because I don't look at all like I did. I'll have to apply for a new one soon. I had no problem with the permit test before; I'll just have to take it again in order to have my picture changed. But I didn't let that occupy me for the rest of the day.

I watched Monday Night Football until halftime. At that time, I started to get tired. It has been a long, but exciting, day. I fell asleep promptly, as I can't wait for the next day to arrive.

[Leoshi]

I made it back on the streets. My sheet was my only shield from everyone knowing me, seeing me. I realized there had to be somewhere I could seek help... someone had to be able to help...

"Surely, my friends would help..." I thought. "Maybe I should try to find them... but even at this time of night, it shouldn't be that hard..."

I knew I was a Yoshi, and thus was agile like one. I began to run, faster then ever. My feet felt more powerful now, making me faster and faster. I was approaching a building nearby. I knew the time to jump had come.

With a hard kick, I thrust myself up into the sky. The sheet waved and lapped against me as I increased my altitude...

But then I realized that gravity wasn''t on my favor. I was falling back towards the earth, but too soon. I wouldn't make the jump like this... not unless...

I knew I had to try it out, and I began to kick rapidly as I fell. It was like a quick burst of energy. I felt myself gain altitude again. It was my first sucess at a flutter kick.

The rooftop was coming ever so much closer. Just the right timming, and I had it...

My feet landed on the roof... I did it.

But my trip was not over. I continued to run, towards the edge. Once more, I jumped gracefully into the air. The sheet becoming harder and hearder to hold as a I soared.

But by the time I landed on the rooftop, I was tired. It was a good this this house was my desitnation. I felt so tired, so hungry, and hurt. I crawled towards the edge and lept off the side. Lucky that I was able to land on both feet. As I landed in their yard, I noticed the lights turn on inside the house.

"Uh oh." I thought. "I wasn't quiet enough."

[Yoshiko]

((Hope you don't mind me using third person. I hate first. ^_^;; ))

Greg had woken up that morning as normal as any other -- well, sort of. His back was aching for some reason, and he almost felt like he had huge objects protruding from his back.
And then he truly noticed them. He'd gone into the room adjoined to his to look in the mirror as he readied himself for school, but he wasn't himself.
Greg panicked as he saw the black winged Yoshi in the mirror. "Oh my gosh! What -- what's going on? I don't -- Yoshi's aren't real! So how can I be one...?"
Then, Greg's sister Charlotte burst into the room, screamed, called to our dad, and he came running through with a handgun he'd kept for safety. Greg blinked, then put his hands up. "Wait! Wait, wait, wait! It's Greg! It's me!" He said quickly, trying to persuade his family members that it was really him -- but to no avail.
"WHOA!" Greg jumped up and out of bed as his increasingly annoying alarm clock went off. He picked it up, and chucked it to the other side of the room and it silenced itself.
He then put on his usual clothes -- his favorite gray, short-sleeved shirt with a red circle and a ball of fire in the middle of it. On his legs, he wore his Bugle Boy jeans, and on his feet he had his New Balance sneakers.
When he figured he was ready, he quickly combed his hair without bothering to look, and went to the adjoining room to look at himself in the mirror.
"Oh... My... Gosh! It's -- it's just like my dream! I better get outta here." Greg said quietly to himself as he noticed his nice, feathery black and purple wings attatched to his back "And these are perfect to do it with!" He gave them a practice flap, and decided he was ready, before heading back into his other room and opening his window. Greg climbed out of it, leapt off the windowsill, and took off, quick as a crow, and took to the skies.
"Whoooo hooo! This is... Amazing!"
And then it occured to him.
Greg was himself.
His Yoshi self.

[Yoshiken]

Kurtis woke up earlier than the rest of the family...like always, he was still really drowsy and hadn't fully woken up yet. He stared at the electronic clock straight in front of him on his computer desk. It read 6:10...He was going to get up and then he remembered! Its Saturday! (yes i know you put yours on Monday, but it will work out way better for me if Yoshiken came around on a Saturday XD. If you want me to change it, I will ^_^)

He jumped back in bed and just layed there, however, he had this really strange feeling around his Shoulders. He moved his hand to his back and he felt something protruding from his shoulders. He surprisingly jumped out of bed and examined himself...Yoshiken had wings!

"OH MY!!!" Yoshiken ran towards the bathroom being sure not to waken anyone up. He stared at himself in the mirror.

"no...it cant be! how did i become Yoshiken! and where did i get the blue headband!....im probably still dreaming! yeah thats it"

He slapped himself and felt the pain "I....guess im not dreaming....but!...how did this happen"

He heard his parents alarm clock go off so he quickly rushed back into his room and covered himself with the blankets trying to think of a plan...He decided, he needed to tell his parents. They would always love him and that would never change.

Yoshiken walked toward his parents room with blankets covering every single part of his body. He knocked on the door...

"Ummmm...Mom, Dad...can I come in" Yoshiken said.

"sure Kurtis" they said from the inside. Yoshiken walked in and saw them sitting on the edge of the bed getting their shoes on.

"Why do you have all the bedsheets over you Kurtis?" they stated

"I....need to show you something....now, please dont be afraid" Yoshiken hesitantly said.

"what do you mean sweetie? is something wrong?"

"well....see for yourselves" Yoshiken uncovered himself and showed his new form, he spread out his Dragon wings so that they could catch a full glimpse of him.

"KURTIS!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!!!" The parents woke everyone up in the house.

"Well....you know how i always talk about Yoshi....well...it seems I have become one."

[red.yoshi]

as red was asleep, he had another dream.

he was at yoshis corner, this time he was a yoshi. all the other yoshis where human. "what do you want with me" he asked. "what are you going to do?" "your one of us now..."

red shot up in a sweat. he had slept longer then he had intended to - the sun had long past set. he was laying flat on the ground, his spell tags forming a circle around him. those words echoed inside of his head. "your one of us now..."

lumiere wasnt there when red awoke, she was probably out hunting red thought. he was a bit hungry too. he went to a different bitter berry bush, and ate the tasteless berrys that made him want to vomit. he called lumiere with his mind to comfort him. lumiere flew out of the sky, wagging her tail. red just wanted lumiere for comfort. he was also a bit worried that she wouldve been spotted. red felt uncloathed, and anything he tryed to fit into wouldnt fit, or his spikey backbone would rip. what would the public do if they saw a yoshi and a dragon? red lauged at the thought. back then - nothing. today he had to be careful though.

a light wind touched his face, and he shivered. he snuggled lumiere for warmpth. "lets go lumiere." "where?" said lumiere into reds mind. this shocked red. "you...you can talk?" red was still speaking outloud. red didnt realize that this lumiere had the same charateristics of those in his rps. "hmm?" lumiere interupted reds thinking. "anywhere...just away." red wanted out. this was a huge trap. he was the only one, mabye for miles, that was a yoshi. red mounted lumiere, and off they flew, futher and further from steves old childhood and memories.

[Teo]

OOC: A very special one indeed

"I can't believe it...but I might as well try to get rid of it..." I muttered to myself. I looked back at myself, scales shinning in the light, silver tail flickering back and forth. I layed down on my back, exposing my newfound belly to the sun (hmm...that came out weird) and looking at the sky. For what seemed the first time in my life, I could see the sun without it hurting my eyes. I thought I could see sun spots, but that's just me, seeing what I want to see. Maybe that was the key...seeing what I want to see.

I wanted to see myself fly, that was it. I pumped my wings one more time, but this time, just once...and it made me gain ten feet then I crashed. I couldn't do it...but I had to. This wasn't a fit place for me. I had to find somewhere else...even if I had to make it myself...but some company to figure out what happened would be nice.

I beat my wings once, ten feet and started falling, I ended up being on the ground again by the time I pumped my wings again...this wasn't working. I had to try a different takeoff. I jumped into the air and beat my wings, but my angle was slightly off and I somehow managed to fly backwards into the ground. Trial and error's only downside...the errors sometimes hurt.

I did another try, jumping forwards and beating my wings with a great leap for someone my weight, spreading wide my silver wings and gaining altitude, instinctively knowing how to beat in the most effective manner, starting to soar higher at an alarming rate before I was heading towards the sky, nearly nose first, and finally I reached a cloud and passed through it. I stopped going up once I reached the very top of the cloud, I started beating my wings at a steadier rate, looking down from the cloud. I hope I didn't get seen... Somewhere in the distance though...I thought I saw another thing with wings...but I couldn't tell from far.

[Wildfire the Dragon]

I glided around thinking.
"It's good to be Jayshi for once. But what will eveyone think? My Mom, Dad , the others, oh what am I going to do?"A small tear rolled down my cheek, I couldn't take the pressure. I looked around and got a good look.

"I might as well do what I can...I'll tell them about this. I have no choice."

I took one more look around and saw something flying...

"What the...That thing...is huge."
I didn't want to fight, or run, I just floated there, looking at whatever that was.

[Teo]

AHA!! I saw the 'thing' better. It also had wings and was flying...and it sure as heck wasn't a bird! I beat my wings fiercer and angled towards the thing and I saw it getting closer in my perspective. I suddenly realized just now that I was a large reptile that is known in a few hundred stories to be deadly. No matter, my curiousity drew me to this new being all the same. Maybe I'd even get an answer! I hope no one steals my tent and stuff on the ground though.

[Yoshiko]

Greg looked dwon from his height above the lowest cloud. It was truly amazing, seeing everything from a bird's perspective, but he didn't know whether they saw the same as humans -- or Yoshi's... Or whatever.
When he thought he was no longer Greg, he'd decided to start calling himself Yoshiko, his name he'd found on the YC at home. If he met anyone else, say hsi friends, he'd tell them his name was Yoshiko -- he wouldn't even mention his old name.
And then, when he thought about the YC, Yoshiko wondered how everyone else was. I'm such a freak... I'm probably the only one this happened to! I can't believe my luck, but I wanna know what the heck's goin' on. This is insane! He thought silently, gliding easily through the air. The way to fly came naturally to him -- it was almost as if Yoshiko had been doing this for all his life. He gave his feathered wings another beat, and sped up.
In the distance, he thought he could see other things with wings, but shrugged it off. Probably my Yoshi eyesight kicking in and letting me see birds from so far off. But these things -- they look bigger than birds. As big as...
Yoshis.
