Hey!
I could just about kill the creators of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5d's for not doing a filler episode of when Carly and Jack are finally reunited. So I decided to do one of my own. :) I hope that you enjoy it!

'Either Carly is late or is never going to turn up.'
When Jack found out that Carly had been submitted to hospital following her traumatic escape from the Dark Signers, he was shocked. Shocked happy, he beamed and couldn't help but smile even when his persistently annoying assistant Mikage walked in. Shocked excited, he couldn't wait to see her again, he had been so worried. Shocked sad, just thinking about Carly's last words and the way she had disappeared made his heart plummet, his blood pump faster and brought floods of tears to mind. Shocked angry, why had he, Jack Atlas, the one who loved Carly most of all, not been able to visit her?
But none of it mattered any more. Today was the day. He had sent the message with Yusei, a casual one-liner, asking her to come visit him. Yusei had looked at him strangely, and Jack later caught his fromer best friend whispering to Akiza, before they both smiled at him knowingly. He felt his heart thump - he was going to see HER again! He would return those awkwadly thick but undeniably cute glasses, see her violet eyes loosen up as she squinted, knocking every thing over. He was around a meter away from the door, just waiting and waiting and waiting. He didn't have to wait long.
"Urm... Atlas-san?" She knocked several times, a 'rat-a-tat-tat.' Jack opened the door and immediately pulled Carly into his arms. She looked exactly the same, except the bags under her eyes were dark and her eyelids were droopy. She belonged in the clutches of sleep, but had come to see him before anyone else. But what was wrong with her? She wasn't even hugging him back... and why on earth was she calling him ATLAS-SAN? As Jack pulled away, he saw the pale, blushing face of the one he loved and knew that some thing was wrong. "I-I didn't expect such a warm welcome..." she admitted, eyes quivering.
Jack's face fell. 'W... why not?" He resisted the urge to shout this part. He thought that she was gone! He hadn't been able to live with himself for the last few months worrying and frightened. He had even called up Carly's mobile just to hear her happy, bubbly voice as the answerphone message cut in. She sounded so sweet, so happy, so carefree. He remembered the way his blood chilled when he saw the 'real' Carly, a Dark Signer. But he also remembered when she regained her true self and talked to him, begging him to kill her. It made his heart ache.
"Ah... Atlas-san..." she was met with a frosty glare. "J-Jack! It's just, you don't seem a touchy-feeling kind of person...?" 'Does she even REMEMBER the way I held her when she was hurt?' "A-And... I thought that I was a nuisance to you..." 'Of course you were, saving my soul doesn't really count for much, does it...?' "I-I don't mean to offend..." her voice trailed off. "Then what exactly DID you mean?" Jack did yell this time. "How... how can you come back with such an attitude after every thing that happened?"
Carly had the grace to look ashamed, bowing her head slightly. "I-it's not that... it's just... I was scared after last week..." "Well, yes, I was scared too, you were in hospital after all," Jack's face was a perfect frown. "T-that's not what I meant either..." then Carly became a little stronger and looked straight up at him. "I was scared that you didn't want me around anymore, when you left for the Satellite without me!"
Jack felt his head whirl, before he literally collapsed on the floor. Smooth, Jack. Real smooth.

Next chapter- "You've forgotten every thing? The battle, the duel... the... confession...?" Jack felt his voice trail off. He was unable to talk anymore. It hurt.
I hope that you liked it! ^_^ Please, please, please review!
