Your Yoshi Story,

[Johnyoshi]

The yoshies left, odd...something was going on?, I look back and saw another yoshi holding a white bedsheet, moving like a flag. Another Yoshi!, Something was going on, was that someone I know?, It look so familar. I walk to there..something was odd i didn't feel cold, but it was like December.

Is it my powers, But can't use them, can I? I kept going upward, Making it colder and colder. But still coudn't feel anything cold. I clap my hands and see if I can create fire. Nothing again. I guess i'm the only that doesn't have powers...since there must be other since I just saw yoshies and dragons.

After my nap, which ended around 11:30, I had another enormous lunch; the morning's adventure gave me quite an appetite. Dad left me a note saying that he had gone the work, meaning I had the house to myself until my mom came home from work. I put my warm clothes back on and headed back outside.

The snow level continued to rise. It was now official that I need the sled and a shovel to move around my field; the snow was now halfway between my knees and my waist. "Unbelievable! The snow has been falling that hard?" As I walked on the snow covered driveway, visibility was lower, and the wind started to pick up. It seemed as if it was the start of a blizzard. "This is only going to get worse..." Before I even left my garage, I decided to chicken out and stay inside.

All through the wind blown through the trees, and the trees becoming as loud as they've been since the last blizzard, I thought I heard something. Something was calling for Enrique... Which is me... I answer to both Jason, my real name, and Enrique, my Yoshi name. Someone was calling for me...

Or was it? The call was so faint that I could barely hear it for the wind. I peeked outside and saw no one, not even one who would be brave enough to shovel snow. "Maybe it's just my imagination..." I went back in the house, and put away my warm clothes. I felt comfortable now that I wasn't tightly bundled up. But what about that voice... Who was it...? Was it even someone?

I peeked out the back porch window. I didn't see anything; maybe it was because of the low visibility. I decided to take a quick shower... until shortly thereafter, a power outage had occurred. The refrigerator stopped running, the computer stopped running, all the digital clocks were off... "What am I going to do until the power comes back...?" The snow continued to fall hastily... The wind whipped even faster... Anyone who was outside wouldn't be able to see two feet in front of them...

[Yoshiken]

Yoshiken woke up with snow covering his body, even for his body heat, Yoshiken was freezing. He decided that moving would be the best state of action to warm him up and look for the other Yoshis he had heard about as well. He grabbed his Katana and packed the rest of his supplies.

Yoshiken was worried about how his Mom must feel right now but he brushed it off and spread his wings. He flew into the air and told himself that he would call his Mom later on his cell phone to tell her that hes ok. He didnt know how long it would take, but he would search for days if he needed to. He set off for the horizon...

[red.yoshi]

it was now snowing harder, and red couldnt see two feet ahead of him. "must...seek...saftey..." red didnt seek saftey in any of the homes, like he should have. he was too shy to stand up to a human being - he felt uncloathed and different.

red continued to trudge on. at one point, he tripped over a circular indent in the ground. he kept walking though until he rammed into a wall. he felt his way until he found a dumpster. red gave a half smile, maybe food awaited him. he climbed in, and gave all his strength to yell enrique once again, but it was no use. it was more of a caugh. red finally pulled the door shut.

the dumpster was a little warmer to red since the wind and snow didnt blow in his face. things where cool, but not frozen. red was lucky, he ate some of the remains that other people hadn't finished. he thought this to be a feast. he was done after cleaning out every food particle of the dumpster. red went to the corner of the dumpster to try to keep warm. sleep finally took him. his dream, darkness, but more comforting then previous dreams.

[Johnyoshi]

The wind started blowing, Now i could feel it, It wasn't that cold (in my point of view) but it was cold, Almost there... my eyes starting to close, what the heck was going on?, I don't feel anything that cold?, It was my body was shutting down. That didn't really make any sense. Maybe it was just me. I started not to feel good. My body was not use to this. I didn't understand it! I fell down and black out....

[Enrique]

(OOC: If you're trying to hunt me down, Red, I live in a more rural-like area. Remember, DSL/cable internet service isn't even available where I live.)

I was starting to get bored. I looked at my watch - for it was the only way of telling time in the house - only ten minutes had passes since the blackout. "Only ten minutes?! It feels like it's been an hour!" I looked back outside; all I could see is snow rapidly accelerating. Good thing that Dad brought the dog into the ground more he left for work; I didn't want to dare my luck and go outside.

I thought again about that voice. "Could it actually have been someone looking for me?" I have no idea why someone would have been out in a snowstorm like this find me... Whoever it was - if it was someone - I hope they're okay... However, it is also possible that the voice could've been just a product of my imagination. But it hasn't repeated yet.

A half hour passed. I retrieved my boombox and several batteries, and played some music to pass the time. Around 2:00, the snowstorm started to give in a little bit. The winds had died down slightly, and the snow wasn't coming down quite as hard. I looked out the window to see the dumpster that the neighbors had put up in their backyard just days before; they were constantly having parties and needed to rent one for the upcoming holiday season.

I noticed that the door of the dumpster was shut. "Hm... they usually don't shut that thing all the way..." Someone must have tampered with it. But that wasn't my primary concern. All I could do was wait for the storm to fully pass and the power to return. I had to change the CD, then I resumed staring out the window. The blizzard was clearing up a little bit... but the power was still out...

I started to worry about my parents. "Are they alright?" I was tempted to call my mom, but when I picked up the phone, there was no dial tone; the storm must have gotten the telephone lines as well. So I just sat on the couch and listened to the music... and wondered if there was anyone else out there like me...

[anjilfan]

When we flew over some wierd anamal,we landed.We then looked around.There was dinosaurs and other mystic creatures!

Ra:"Could this be it?!"
Keven:"Must be!Let's explore!"

All of a sudden some man jumped in front of us!

Man:"Hey there folks!Welcime to The Mystic Island!Care for some pizza?"
Ra:"Wait a minute!................all this is fake!"
Keven:"Awww man................"
Man:"Wait don't leave yet!Oh!Nice costume!Is that real leather?!"
Ra:"Uhhhhhhh...got to go!Bye!"

We didn't fly or he'll see us.So we wandered somewhere.

Ra:"What a scam!"
Keven:*Sigh*I thought it was the real deal...."
Ra:"Well.Now i'm stumped."
Keven:"Huh?What do you mean?"
Ra:"Well scince there's no "mystic island" now where do I go?
Keven:"We'll keep looking!Don't give up!"
Ra:"Thanks Kev.
Keven:"Remember Ra,You are the one who'll open the door to the light!"
Ra:"Have you been playing Kingdom Hearts for 9 hours again?!"
Keven:"Nope!I beat my record.I played for 12 hours last night! ;D"
Ra:"............tsk."

[Wildfire the Dragon]

I ran to the shivering Yoshi. I was shocked to see another. 'just how many are there,' I thought.

I quickly took off my jacket and wrapped around him.
"You need this more than me, take it. Hey, Ko. Just a question, see my Mom and Dad don't know about this. I want them to know I'll be gone, for a while...So, I need to call them as soon as possible."

[Leoshi]

"Thanks you." I said back to the one who just wrapped me in the jacket. "But I have this sheet here, the jacket isn't necssary. You should take it back."

"That was generous though. At least I know someone's trying to be nice." I thought. I looked over to the one, apparantly named "Ko." And kept listening for his answer. I wanted to at least allow my family to know I was okay (at least, better then before).

[red.yoshi]

ooc: ok enrique X D.

red awoke and gave a loud sigh. he didnt open his eyes at first. he thought he had the day off, and he was in his nice comfortable bed. he thought he could even hear his sister playing final fantasy. when he opened his eyes, he saw darkness. the wind had been the sounds of his sister, and he felt extremly cold. "where am i?" he said aloud. he got up and hit his head on the door to the dumpster he slept in. he didnt know how log he had been there. then he remembered the two horrible facts. he was a yoshi, and he had no idea where he was in new york. "Well, atleast that blizzard died down a bit." red took the blue tarp, and wrapped himself in it. he got out of the dumpster to stretch.

red played in the snow a little bit - well, mostly eating it because he was thirsty. there was no one on the streets, and red was greatful for that. he cleared snow from two people's propertys, then he polished his thirsty meal off with a snow cone. he took a very large icicle, and packed snow on top. red had forgotten all about his dillema. the question finally came to him. stay in a dumpster, or keep searching? red knew that if he went on and didnt find enrique, or another hideout then he was doomed. "besides." red thought. "there has to be more food on the way!" since it was a dumpster... "but first" red thought. "i want to have a little more fun out here." the storm was still raging, but red was enjoying himself, never the less.

[Johnyoshi]

Werid...something was wrong. I could heard something...it just kept repeating, from the black hole..."Believe, Believe".For some reason I said that too(not noticing of course). Fire came over my hand...I kept saying it louder.Should I follow the voice?, I didn't know what to choice it could be something else.What else do I have to lose...I ran to it...My life and everything was to leave behind.the black tunnel it was too a new life.The white light came over my eyes. I open my eyes and look at my hand...it was on fire. I couldn't say anything like a frog in my throat. I just stand there.....

[Enrique]

As the blizzard died down even more, I saw something in the midst of the snow and wind. It was red, with a few black spots on it. The figure also seemed to have a similar body structure as mine. "Could it... actually be... another Yoshi? Like me...?" I pondered for a while. Finally, someone who would understand me! I wonder who it could be...

When the snow fell from the sky slow enough to give me a good look at the figure, it seemed somewhat familiar to me... It looked like red.yoshi from Yoshi's Corner. "Could it be... Red? What it he doing... here? And why is he shoveling off my driveway?!" As the figure came into my front lawn, I had a better look at it; I could tell that it was Red by a blue collar that characterized him on the forum. I knew that it was him.

I opened the door a little bit, only enough to peek my head out. Red was eating a snow cone and playing in the yard. By the time I opened the door, cold air rushed onto me. "Holy cow... it's freezing out here!" I had to get Red's attention...

"Red! Is that you?" I hope he responds back... He looked as if he had been traveling for days in the storm; yet he also seemed to enjoy himself. I only watched and waited for his response...

[red.yoshi]

red looked in enrique's direction. "enrique?! is that really you?" he was so relieved to see one of his kind. now he knew that there must be more. red rushed over to him. he hugged him and cried. "what happened to us..." he asked. red finally took a good look at enrique. he was wearing cloathing, and red felt naked. he covered his groind with his hand and blushed.

[Enrique]

I was somewhat surprised at Red's reaction; I didn't expect him to be as emotional as he was. However, I could sense the relief of desperation that he had; he must've gone through a rough time, and he seemed happy to see me. I now know that there are others out there like me... "I wonder if Red had the same mitosis incident that I had..." Right now wasn't the best him to ask him about that; he seemed hungry and cold.

"You can come inside, Red." Even though there was still no electricity in the house, it was still warmer in here than it was outside. I held the door open, as a gesture of welcome in the house. "There is plenty of food to eat if you're hungry, and there are blankets if you are cold."

[red.yoshi]

red walked in, and bowed. he was relieved - a shelter! "...we need to talk enrique, can we sit down?" red was too ancious to tell enrique about his adventure before he got settled.

ooc: sorry my posts are becoming shorter, theres not much to talk about X D.

[Enrique]

OOC: My posts are kind of getting shorter too.

"Sure we can, Red. I have something I need to tell you as well." I sensed the relief in Red's expression. I think it's because it seemed as if he's been outside all day, and he looked very cold outside. Now, he is in a warmer area; however, the heating system wasn't on; the electricity in the are was still out, and will probably still be out until later today, maybe even tomorrow.

"Do you need a blanket or something? You look as if you came within minutes of getting frostbite." I would be happy to offer him one, and a piece of clothing as well if he needed it. I felt bad for the guy; I was all bundled up inside while he had to fight the storm out in the cold... I felt a little guilty at the thought.

[red.yoshi]

"that would be nice, thank you!" red gave a large grin. he thought this was very nice of enrique.

[Yoshiko]

Ko looked at the new Yoshi, and smiled at him. "No, no, take Jay's jacket. You need it, I can tell just by looking at you." His smiled widened as he patted his shoulder.
"Okay, lemme get this straight, Jay. You need to call your parents to let them know you're okay, but dunno how?" Yoshiko asked, making sure he understood Jayshi's predicament. "Well, I'm sorry, but I don't know how to contact them without them seeing you, either. It's okay, though. None of my family know where I am, either. I know how you feel." He told Jayshi, smiling warmly at him.
"Now, as for getting this guy to a safer spot, I suggest we do it now. Before his condition worsens." Yoshiko said firmly, patting the stranger's shoulder again in a comforting, friendly manner. "C'mon." He commanded, pulling the newcomer and Jayshi up onto the large Dragon again. He motioned for Teo to fly up again. "If you can, Teo... Find somewhere that's shielded from the wind! It Jayshi could really use his wind powers, I might be able to use fire powers!"

[Enrique]

I gave Red a large afghan (a warm quilt-like blanket); this would be warm, and Red seemed to be very delighted when I gave it to him. "You're welcome, Red. Go ahead and sit on the couch; I have a story to tell you. It's about how I became this way..." And so my story started to unfold as I recited it to Red...

"One day, I woke up and found out that I had become a Yoshi. That day, I went to a doctor and took a DNA sample from me. Three days later, I visited that doctor again, and he said that my transformation was based off of a rare mutation of my genetic code during mitosis. This happened the exact same way with each of my body cells, all in one night.

"Ever since, I've been going to school like normal. Well, except for today, of course, due to the weather... My teachers and classmates were really stunned, and the fact that I'm now a Yoshi hasn't exactly been implanted in some of their heads yet... But my parents are now accustomed to by new self now. And that pretty much concludes my story."

I wondered if he had a story similar to mine, but by the looks of him, it seems as if he ran away from home instead... I was still interested to see what he had to say, if he had anything to say.

[Johnyoshi]

I tried to say something, but instead of saying "thanks" I said "than" My body was getting warming cause of the jacket, I tried to move my hand but I really coudn't do anything. I just stand like a plant. I have to wait, I just hope this jacket the yoshi gave me works...I could do was wait...very fun I said. Just wait......
