Chapter 1:
-Normal POV
It was a cold, bitter day in February. Jack was with Carly, walking her home after a pleasant evening together at the movies. Carly was huddling close to Jack, shaking furiously from the icy wind.
"Jack," Carly shouts over the wind, "I wish you and the boys could've made a dueling car or something. One with a nice heater, good gas mileage, and furry seats!"
"Aw, c'mon Carly!" Jack snickers, "Where's your backbone? There's nothin' like a good brisk from the wind to wake you up after sitting through a long movie. One, might I add, that you picked out!"
"What's wrong with The Regular Customer!?"
"It's a chick flick about some girl who didn't have the nerve to ask a guy out who goes to the same diner almost every day! At the end, the chick looses the guy to another girl that actually talks to the guy! What the hell's the point!?!" Jack screams to the top of his lungs.
Carly rolls her eyes and shakes her head. "Sounds a little like that waitress where you get your Blue Mountain coffee from, right Jack?" Jack stares at her like she's crazy.
"Waitress?" Jack shouts, "What waitress?"
"The girl at the café." Carly explains.
"Doesn't sound familiar."
"The red-head who gives you your coffee every time!"
"Doesn't ring a bell."
"But…The girl who..! Ugh, never mind." Carly notices that they're almost at her front house. "Hey Jack! Do you think that you can keep me company, just for tonight? You haven't been at my house for a long time!" Carly hugs Jack, looking at him dreamily through her glasses.
"No can do, temptation." Jack signs, obviously disappointed "Yusei, Crow, and Bruno want me back at the shack by midnight in order to add a new program to my Duel Runner."
"But Jack-"
Jack holds up his hands and shakes his head. "I'm sorry, Carly. I want to stay, but ol' mother hen says that I have a curfew for now on. Sad little birdbrain of a- (sign). Listen, I'll make it up to you another time, I promise." He gives a quick but affectionate kiss on the lips to Carly. Before she could complain, he hops on his Duel Runner and revs it up in a heartbeat. "I'll be back tomorrow at noon, I, Jack Atlas, promise you." Jack shouts as he drives away in a cloud of snow and smoke.
-Jack's POV
I want to stay with her, really I do! But I already promise to be home for my runner's inspection by tomorrow. Sorry Carly, but Crow and Bruno just won't have it. Carly'll probably give me a shoulder colder than the wind on my face. I swear, if I'm getting misery, I'm taking those three bozos with me!
-Carly's POV
I stand there, a little bit stunned at first, but mostly sad. Jack and I barely ever get to spend time together anymore. Humph, he just had to be with a team of big shot duelists as well as a mechanic! But still, at least he has friends to spend a cold night with. The closest thing that I have to a friend is my stuffed animals.
Oh, well mid as well get inside before I freeze to-AAAHHH!
-Normal POV
Carly is hit from behind by a projectile gliding on the ice. She falls on her butt and quickly gets up to run in the house. Carly, as she struggled to find her house keys, imagined the thing that hit her was a mugger who slipped on the ice trying to attack her, or worse. But when she slowly turns around, she noticed that her attacker looks a little odd. As a matter of fact, he doesn't appear human…
-Magnus' POV
Ooh, my head! I think I hit something fragile! I knew it was a bad idea to try and outrun him on a frozen sidewalk. C'mon boy, get up! You can't let him catch you! You can't let him lock you up again! You-
-Normal POV
Carly steps down from her front steps, slowly towards the stranger. She can hear him struggling against his sore muscles to get back up again. Despite her better judgment, Carly kneels down to help the poor creature up. The stranger takes a sideways glance at her, but was too tired to struggle.
Carly holds him by the midsection and brings him to the light to reveal the stranger. Bluish-gray eyes stare back at her, as well as dark-gray fur, a snow covered muzzle, and a questionable whimper.
