Note: I don't own YuGiOh! 5D's. This is the second story I have written so far. Dana Atlas has one major skeleton in her closet that keeps haunting her in her dreams as well as giving her survivors guilt. When a new boss comes in to the book store in town, where she works, she will soon find out what her skeleton is really trying to tell her as well as this new boss' plans for her and the rest of the world. This story is set during the Pre WRGP and it follows the anime after Zora's son, Lyndon, came to visit and before Yusei leaves for Crash Town. Enjoy

"Ana I'm so glad you could make it." Said a brown haired man. "I didn't think the guys would tell you to come here."

"Why wouldn't I come?" Dana said as she hugged on to the man as he kissed her forehead. "What's so special that I had to find someone to babysit Diana and cancel all my plans for this evening just to come to our special place?"

"Ana, I have some surprises for you." The man said. "It'll change our lives forever."

"You said that last time and nothing happened." Dana said laughing why she avoided getting swatted.

"This time is different. I know that this will change our lives forever. I even talk to Diana, Martha, my father and even the guys about it and they all thought it was a good idea."

"Alright Lysander. What's the surprises that will change our lives forever." The light caramel and strawberry highlighted tipped woman said as she sat down under a huge tree looking at the sunset.

"Close your eyes."

"Lysander."

"Close them." The man said sternly.

"Fine."

As Dana had her eyes close Lysander went behind the big tree trunk and rolled out a huge black and dark blue-green duel runner.

"Are your eyes still closed?"

"Yes."

"Stand up and then open your eyes."

"This bet'r be good Lysander or I promise I will…." Dana was shocked at what she saw. "Lysander where did you get this? If security saw you with this they'll throw you into the facility."

"I made myself. I made it for you." Lysander said shyly as he looked into Dana's eyes. "I know the consequences but the trouble is worth it if it to make you happy."

"Lysander." The woman said with tears in her eyes.

"That's not all. Lift up the back of the runner."

Dana did as she was told and lifted up the back part of the runner. She found a small space that had a box with its top up exposing a small diamond ring. She bursted into tears.

The man got on his knee. "Dana Atlas would make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?"

"Lysander I would love to marry you!" the woman said as she embraced the older man. "I'll never leave you. I love you always."

Then all of sudden Dana felt Lysander's grip get tighter. "You will never leave me huh?" the man asked in an angry tone causing the crying woman to look up at the man. What she saw in his eyes scared her.

"Lysander what…"

"If you loved me you wouldn't have left that one night with Diana to help watch over the kids in the B.A.D area because Crow went to the faculty. You left me in the store with my father as the store burned down when we still in it. You should have died that night as well!"

"I didn't know that the store would…."

"You left me and I died because of it." Lysander said with his grip getting tighter around Dana as she tried to wiggle out of his hold.

"LYSANDER…STO…P...STOP…IT!" Dana screamed as she felt herself slowing losing air. "I….would…..hav…have been...there if…."

"You always chose the guys over me and this time that price you paid was my life!"

"Lysander I'm sorry." The woman said with her last breath before her lifeless body fell out of the man's hands.

"Sorry won't bring me back."

Dana woke up screaming as well as in a cold sweat. She never felt so frighten in her life as she grabbed her necklace that hung from her neck. Her bedroom door busted open with four guys storming in to check on her.

"Dana you alright?!" Crow asked as he ran over to the woman sitting on the bed.

"Dana what's wrong?" Jack, her brother, asked as he also went to her bed.

"We heard you screaming and we came to check on you." Yusei said as he took a sit at her desk.

"Dana, answer us." Their friend Bruno, who was still half sleep, said from the door.

"I'm fine. I just ate too much cake before bed that's all." She said as she got from her bed and started changing out of her pajamas and into her normal clothes.

Yusei, Crow and Jack looked at each other. They knew that wasn't the real reason. "Dana are you su…" jack asked his sister before she cut him off.

"Yes Jack I'm fine. Too much cake like I said. No big deal. Won't happen again." she said as she put on her shoes and jacket.

"Why are you getting dressed?" Crow asked her.

"Yeah, Dana it's only two in the morning. Nothing is opened this early." Yusei said.

"I'm just going for a ride alright? Just leave me alone. Go back to sleep. I'm sorry for waking you all up." She said as she left her room and down the ladder to the kitchen.

"Dana's right. Let's all just go back to sleep and we can talk about it in the morning." Bruno yawned as he followed Dana downstairs and laid down on the couch.

"Dana." Jack said sternly.

"I'll be back. I promise." Dana said as she got on her runner and placed her helmet on her head.

The guys, except Bruno who was sleeping on the couch upstairs in the kitchen, looked at her with worried eyes.

"If I'm not back by eight then call me and if I don't answer call Trudge or Mina. See you guys later." And with that Dana speed out of the garage and out of sight.

"It's him isn't it?" Crow commented as he closed the garage door.

"Yeah, it's eating her up inside about what happened." Jack said.

"Give her time. Maybe giving her space is the right thing to do and can help her get over this bump." Yusei said as he walked up the stairs to the kitchen.

"We've given her enough space. She can't fight this on her own Yusei. She needs us." Crow implied.

"She'll open up when its time." Jack said as he made himself a cup of "his" Noodles to Go-Go. "Just trust me."

Elsewhere, four men sat in semi-circle looking at the signer as she rode through the streets and highways.

"Of all the Signers, why do we get the boring one?" asked a short long dark red hair boy named Lester.

"She's just as important for the grand design like the other Signers." Said a bigger and very much older man named Jakob (who, by the way, had a huge grey eyebrow covering his right eye). "She apparently has a lot of anger and sadness that we could bring out to help grew the grand design."

"Jakob you better be right about this." Said another man much younger than the older one but older than the young boy. "If not, we wasted valuable time on some girl when we could have used it on any other Signers like Yusei Fudo."

"Primo, slow and steady wins the race." Stated Jakob.

The fourth man just listened as the other three men bickered over the signer while he kept watching her. Such a beautiful creature. The man thought. Just then out of the corner of the image he saw a star coming flying out of the air into a side of the mountains. He as well as the other emperors felt and saw the impact. He noticed the Signer's reaction to the impact as well. He smiled.

"Well Gentleman," the man, who was about ten years older than Lester but much younger than Primo, said. "Looks like my table is here. Time for me to see what this Signer can do."

"Where are you going Colt?" Jakob asked. But it was too late. Colt already opened a portal to where his table was and hopped though.

"Looks like your favorite comrade is starting to rebel!" Lester laughed.

What are you up to Colt? Primo thought.
