Hello everyone, here is a new fanfic from me and LadySongbird16. We have been talking about writing this for over a year and we are very excited about finally starting it. There are a few things that we want to explain about the fanfic so there will be no confusion. 5D's took place right after Classic ended. The main Yugioh Classic characters were 17 when the series ended and the Yami/Dark characters never existed. That will be explained in the fanfic later and just imagine Carly in all the of the different Yugioh Classic seasons.

Disclaimer: I am only going to type this once, I do not own Yugioh or Yugioh 5D's. I only own the situations and am using the characters for fun.

Chapter 1

New Domino City

A young girl sat in the kitchen of her apartment. All of the photos and other memorabilia that usually hung on the walls and on the tables of the apartment had been removed. Letting out a long held in sigh she removed the glasses that she normally wore on a daily basis.

"It's time," she declared. Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Domino City

Yugi Muto and his friends were hanging out at his grandpa's game shop. At 18 he and his all of his friends: Joey Wheeler, Tristian Taylor, Tea Gardener and Duke Devlin were now high school graduates. Well, expect for Joey's little sister Serenity, who was only 16 and Joey's girlfriend Mai Valentine who was 25. The group was watching a Dungeon Dice Monsters Tournament on TV.

"Man Duke, your silly dice game really did turn out to be something," Joey declared.

"Joey," Mai warned smacking the back of his head.

"Joey, it's been a little over a year since Industrial Illusions made my game a global game," Duke confirmed. "Your ridiculous insults don't work anymore."

"Ah, you can't blame a guy for trying," Joey said rubbing his head.

Suddenly the phone in the game shop started ringing. Yugi got up to answer it.

"Hello, game shop," he greeted.

"Yugi, it's me, Carly," a feminine voice declared.

"Carly, no way is it really you?" Yugi asked in excitement and disbelief.

Everyone else in the room turned to Yugi, their expressions ones of surprise. Many of them got up and gathered around Yugi.

"Yes Yugi, who else would it be?" Carly questioned.

Yugi hit a button and the phone was on speaker.

"Carly, you're on speaker," Yugi declared. "Everyone else is here."

"Hey Carly, long time no speak," Joey said. "You remember me?"

"No, who the Hell are you?" Carly asked sarcastically.

"Oh come on, it's me Joey," Joey reminded her.

"She knows it's you dofus," Tristian said. "She was just being sarcastic."

"Hey, you two better not start this," Tea warned.

"Hey Tristian, hey Tea," Carly said through the phone.

"What's up Carly?" Mai questioned.

"Hi to you too Mai," Carly replied.

"So Carly, what is it?" Yugi asked.

"It's over," Carly declared. "The Crimson Dragon is gone."

"You've done all you needed to then," Yugi declared. "You can come home now."

"I'll be there in a few hours then," Carly said before hanging up the phone.

Yugi hung up the phone and looked at the others.

"Well, she's coming back," Yugi confirmed.

"Do you think she told Kaiba?" Tea questioned.

"I don't know," Yugi stated. "We should probably call him to check."

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Carly put her bags in the compartments above her and took her seat just as the train to Domino city pulled out of the station. She couldn't believe that she was going back there. It felt like so long.

Carly's POV

My name is Carly Carmine and I'm 18 years old. For a long time now people have always thought of me as a klutzy reporter and blogger who never succeeds in getting her stories published, and is also the girl who claims to be the #1 Jack Atlas fan. That doesn't really matter so much anymore though, Jack left New Domino. What people don't know is that a majority of my life had been spent in Domino City, and that I'm best friends with Yugi Muto, the famous "King of Games."

I grew up in Domino City with Yugi and the others and we went to school together. To tell you the truth, I'm even friends with the famous Seto Kaiba, CEO of Kaiba Corporation. We're all connected by time though, so it's probably best that we all get along, or at least deal with each other anyway. Let's face it, Seto and Joey will never be friends.

In case anyone wonders what I mean by connected by time, let me explain. We've all been around for thousands of years; we die like other humans do, but every time we are reincarnated together in a new place, and eventually we remember the events of our past lives. Each of us plays a different role in the group, I am the Knight. That means that I protect everyone and make sure they stay alive, especially Yugi, because Yugi is the King, so I'm technically his bodyguard. Each of the different roles grant special abilities, but for some reason when I moved to New Domino City my abilities faltered. Ever since the Crimson Dragon disappeared they've been come back though. My visions even returned to normal; thank God, I'm so glad to be rid of those glasses, but they did serve an addition purpose. Since I'm friend with Yugi and was with him from Duelist Kingdom until the end of the Grand Championship, my face is inconspicuous and the bulky gasses hid most of my face. I also left my old deck behind. The Fortune Faries served me well but I don't need them anymore, I'm not the same person anymore. I have a new attitude and I get to be me again.

That's why it's time to return to my old life, to my old friends, and even to him, I know he's still there.

Normal POV

Carly looked at the seats in front of her that she was gripping onto the whole time. Thank God no one was sitting in front of her or around her, because there were deep marks on top of the seats from her gripping them so tightly. It was official, her super strength was back.

"I didn't mean to do that," Carly muttered.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Carly's Apartment in New Domino

There was a knocking on the front door followed by a voice.

"Carly, Carly are you home?" A feminine voice questioned.

The voice belonged to Mina Simington, former secretary to Rex Goodwin and Sector Security's Chief of Special Investigations.

After knocking on the door again Mina realized that the door was unlocked. She opened the door and entered the apartment to find that some of the furniture was gone, and the apartment looked very empty.

"Carly?" She called.

When she received no answer she looked around the apartment for any signs or clues as to where Carly could be. It wasn't until she looked at the kitchen table that she found evidence. Sitting on top of the coffee table in the living room area was Carly's glasses and her deck.
