AnimeKiwi369:... *Has blank stare*.

Copper: Is something wrong?

AnimeKiwi369: I can't get the city name of Kathmandu out of my head.

Lane: Geography?

AnimeKiwi369: Yeah; I had to do a fill in map on South Asia. Anyway, thanks for the kind reviews! ;D. They made me very happy. So I am updating!

Lane: *To Copper*. She always like this?

Copper: Yeah. *To AnimeKiwi369*. What's the chapter about?

AnimeKiwi369: Well...You'll see. But it does focus on you, Lane, and Nan.

Copper: Um, all right.

AnimeKiwi369: Without any further ado, I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's or its characters. I only own my own characters, like Copper and Lane, and the storyline!

Lane: What about italics and bold facing?

AnimeKiwi369: Oh, right. Second Sight is bolded because I made the card up! And, well, you'll figure out the italics for different situations. Onto the story!

Chapter 7

Spelled

The dark-haired girl anxiously twirled her hair, waiting for Lane to answer. She had already called Raven and John and told them what she had planned to do. She asked if they wanted to come, but both had to do other things with family. So Copper called Lane last. She wasn't so nervous about calling him as she was about her plan. It was reckless, out of character, and potentially dangerous to her health.

But she had to try it anyway. Maybe if it worked she could understand Nan Fudo better. She listened to the other line ring, almost endlessly until she finally heard it stop.

"Hello?" her ice-blue-haired friend greeted, "Copper?"

"Yeah." She responded quietly, "I was wondering if you were up to anything today."

"At the moment, no." he responded, "What's up?"

"Well, I kinda have this plan that might help me understand Nan." She told him, "But I'd rather not be alone when I do it. It's risky. And John and Raven are busy."

"Oh, well, what's the plan?" he asked, sounding a little uncertain.

"My plan is to go to the hospital and materialize Second Sight."

"But, Copper…" Lane began to argue quietly, "you've never tried to materialize a spell card before. You've only materialized monsters as threats and to do jobs you can't."

"So?" she shot back over the phone, "Why do you think I want someone there with me? To make sure I have someone I know will help me."

"Oh." He said quietly.

"Idiot." She muttered quietly; though she liked him, she wasn't in the mood to think about that at that moment, "Are you going to come with me or not, Lane Jacob Kessler?" she demanded, her eyes narrowed although she knew he couldn't see it. Her voice held impatience she knew was a trait she had received from her mother. She heard him sigh.

"Fine. I'll meet you there. When?"

"A few minutes would be nice." She told him, going back to normal, "I'll see you then. Bye." She hung up the phone before he could get another word in edgewise.

Copper placed the phone down in its proper spot. She went upstairs to her bedroom and grabbed her jean jacket and red helmet. She was wearing a short sleeve lavender blouse that had black rose in the bottom left corner with her normal pair of jean shorts. She, of course, had on black stockings and gloves and brown riding boots. She had on her sapphire choker necklace and goggles around her neck. They came in handy sometimes. The dark-haired girl slipped her jacket on over her shoulders.

She also grabbed elbow, knee, and shoulder pads that were similar to her father's only in a light sapphire color. She didn't want to get too seriously injured through a crash. The fact that her parents loved her so much didn't matter, if she got hurt in a duel runner accident, her parents wouldn't let her drive her runner for at least until she was healed completely. Which would take forever if she crashed, adding to her already healing body.

She walked into the bathroom of her master bedroom. She stared into the mirror as she brushed her tangled hair. She tilted her head a little downwards as she braided her long tresses tightly. The dark-haired girl looked at the blue-indigo color in her eyes. Her father's and grandmother's eye color. Copper placed her helmet on her head as she walked downstairs, making sure her deck was in her deck holder on the back of her belt. Just like her father.

She grabbed her house keys and locked the door. She entered the garage. At the moment, it just held her father's car (Yusei had taken his duel runner that morning), her mother's runner, which was hardly even used anymore, but sometimes Akiza would use it. And Copper's duel runner was in there, just begging her to use it.

The dark-haired girl complied and mounted her duel runner. She grinned a little at it. She almost all ways did this when she saw it. It had a slight resemblance to Yusei's and Akiza's. Her runner had a slightly smaller crest than her father's and the sides were like her mother's.

Copper's runner was a deep rose red with thin streaks of glittering bluish silver-white. On the left side by the engine panel were two designs. One was a black rose and glittering white star. On the right side was a design of a star-rose combination. Just like she was. A combination of a star and a rose. She had customized it more a few days after she had gotten back.

She slowly rode it out of the garage and had to dismount to close the garage door. She sped away from her house towards the hospital. Copper drank in the feeling of the speed and wind. She loved it. She always felt so free when she rode her duel runner. So alive. When she was little, she used to love to hear her parents tell her how free they felt when they rode. It feels so amazing! She thought, It always feels amazing!

The dark-haired girl basked in the warmth of the sun as she made her way to the hospital. It felt so warm. She closed her eyes as she parked her runner. She opened her eyes and looked around for her ice-blue-haired friend. She didn't see Lane's runner and leaned forward on her runner, resting her head on her arms as she closed her eyes.

Copper reached to her deck box, with her eyes closed, and took it out. She opened her eyes again as she looked for the spell card she was going to play. It was a useful in a duel. Whenever her opponent drew a card, they had to show it to her while it was in play. She didn't know what she was expected would happen. What Lane had said over the phone was true; she had only ever materialized monster cards. She didn't know what would happen if she materialized a spell or trap. What she hoped was that Second Sight would show her Nan's life and/or what was going on in her head as she was in that coma.

A shadow hovered over her and she looked to the source of it. Lane. He was wearing a blue v-neck T-shirt that was the same shade as his hair. He had on black jeans with black dress shoes. He had a dark blue jacket on. Her friend had a lavender bandana around his forehead to keep his hair out of his face. Just like Kalin did in the days of the Enforcers. He looked extremely like his father like that.

"Took you long enough." She muttered, "Ready?"

"I guess." He responded, shrugged as she got off of her runner and detached her duel disk.

They walked in quietly and signed themselves in on the visitor sheet. Copper led them to the room she had been in a few days prior. Another person was in there. A nurse. She looked a bit familiar, but neither one of the two duelists could place it. The nurse looked up and looked at them, studying them slightly.

"Oh, hello." She greeted, getting up, "I haven't seen you two in a while." The two gave her funny looks, "Oh, I bet you two don't remember me. I'm Nurse Shirley."

Both of the teenagers remembered when she said her name. She had been the nurse that had been there for both of their mothers when their fathers had been in their surgeries.

"What are you two doing?" Shirley asked them.

"I have an idea that might help me understand Nan better." Copper responded.

"How do you know her name?" the nurse asked.

"I got some information on her the other day. I saw her the other day and I realized she was my grandmother."

"Oh." She responded, "She's been here as long as I have. Thirty-seven years. I remember when they brought her in after Zero Reverse. I felt so bad for her. She was a mess when she was brought in. Covered in cuts and bruises; she was already unconscious and she was crying. It was so vivid that I couldn't forget. She hasn't woken up and several times, other doctors considered taking her off life support, but we just couldn't; she had lost everything."

"Or she thinks she had." Copper commented, "She doesn't know my dad's alive."

Shirley nodded and began to leave, "Yes, but we don't know how she'll wake, but we keep hoping. I'll let you two stay as long as you like." She told them, slipping out of the room.

Lane turned towards Copper, "Are you sure about doing this, C?" he asked, speaking for the first time in minutes.

"Lane, I'm more sure than ever." She responded as she moved a chair to Nan's bedside, "I have to find out…what she…was like."

"I'll stay close, just to make sure you're all right." He told her. She blushed a little, but it quickly disappeared. She sat down on the chair, and touched her grandmother's arm as she raised her duel disk a little. The ice-blue-haired boy sat next to her as she took a deep breath. Copper drew the card from her deck. She stared at it for a couple of minutes before taking another deep breath.

"I play the spell card Second Sight." She said quietly as she placed it in a slot. Her vision began to blur from the hospital room to somewhere.

Lane watched her as her eyes became distant and slightly glazed over. Her faced paled a little. Her grip on the unconscious woman's arm tightened slightly. He saw a faint glow on Copper's right arm. Her Marks were glowing.

The dark-haired girl found herself living through her grandmother's life as a bystander. She saw it all. Everything was going by so fast! She was beginning to get dizzy. The world she was in slowed down and came to a stop. Copper saw her grandmother at an age that looked like eighteen or nineteen with books in hand. She must've been in college.

What's so significant about this? She wondered. She watched as another person with spiked black hair and blue-green eyes about nineteen or twenty. Her grandfather, Hakase. He was rushing and nearly ran into her. He didn't but did accidently make her drop her books.

"I'm so sorry." He apologized, stopping and helping her with her books.

"It's all right." She told him as they looked into each other's eyes; Copper could see a blush on each of their faces. She giggled a little; this must've been how they first met. "Where are you going in such a hurry?" her grandmother asked.

"I'm late meeting a couple friends about a project we're planning after college." He told her, "Where are you going?"

"I'm trying to get to get back to my dorm from physics." Nan told her future husband.

"I had that last semester." Hakase said, chuckling a little, "I'm taking quantum physics this semester.

"I heard it's difficult." She commented.

"A little, but I've always done well in science classes."

"Then what are you planning with your friends?"

"Well it was my idea; they're just going to help and be a part of the research team." Hakase told her, "It's going to be for the—"

"Hakase! We're waiting!" a new voice called out. Both of Copper's grandparents turned towards the sound of the voice and saw the two Goodwin brothers. Roman was the one calling out. Both of them looked a little bit older than Hakase. The dark-haired girl had seen them in photos before, so she was able to recognize them.

"Is that your name?" the brunette asked the dark-haired man, "Hakase?"

The said man nodded, "Hakase Fudo. Looks like I gotta go. It was nice meeting you."

"Likewise." she responded and the dark-haired man began to walk away. He turned around several yards.

"What's your name?" he asked.

"Nan." The young woman replied, "Nan Robertson."

"See ya around, Nan!" Copper's grandfather waved as he ran off towards the Goodwins.

"Yeah. See ya around, Hakase." The brunette murmured, a smile playing on her lips.

The world Copper was experiencing began to speed up again, like a tape in a VCR machine going on fast-forward. The world briefly slowed when it came to Nan and Hakase's first date, when he proposed, and on their wedding day, which she noted carefully. It slowed down again and the dark-haired girl was no longer in seeing a part of her grandmother's life that was college. She was in an apartment. She had once heard that her grandparents had lived in the Tops. The dark-haired girl saw a calendar and looked at the date. It looked about three years from the day her grandparents had gotten married.

The young psychic looked around and saw Nan looking a little pale, but was smiling. She also looked a little impatient. Maybe for her husband to get home? The sound of a door opening and closing sounded. Copper looked to see her grandfather coming into their apartment. He was in a lab coat that the dark-haired girl was used to seeing him in. Nan immediately went over to him and kissed him.

"I take it you're feeling better, love." Hakase commented. His wife merely smiled and laughed a little. There was so much light and life in her eyes.

"Much, much better, honey." She responded. She leaned up and wrapped her arms around his neck. She whispered something in his ear and a grin spread across her grandfather's face. He placed his hands on her hips and spun her around her a little.

"This is great, Nan!" he exclaimed, "I can't believe how great this is! Parents!"

'Parents'? Copper thought, Oh, this must've been when they found out about dad. When they found out she was pregnant with dad.

The world started fast forwarding again, going through nine months and slowed again when her grandmother was in the hospital, holding a baby version of her father. Her grandfather sat next to her, like her father had when she had been held by her mother in the hospital. Nan was gently stroking her father's mop of hair as he lay asleep in her arms. Hakase moved from the chair to the bed and sat close, wrapping his arm around her as he kissed her cheek.

"He's so perfect." He told her quietly, "Yusei. Our son."

"Our little star." She commented, "I heard that Hideo and Setsuko are looking at girl names."

Her grandparents—all of them—knew each other? That was awesome! She wondered if the others' grandparents were going to be mentioned.

"They already know that it'll be a girl?"

The brunette nodded, "They want the name to be compatible with Rose. Right now, they're thinking about Akiza."

The dark-haired man chuckled, "Maybe our son and their daughter will get together when they're older."

The dark-haired girl laughed, though it was unheard by the occupants of the room. After all, she was just a ghostly bystander watching the past. It was just like watching a video almost.

"Maybe." Nan laughed softly, "And maybe Will and Ava's son, Leslie and Isabelle's son, and Tom and Julia's soon-to-be-son will become great friends with Yusei. I don't know what he's going to go through, but I do know he'll grow up to be a great person, just like his father."

"And his mother." He told her, smiling before kissing her lips. They pulled away after a few seconds, "I love you, Nan."

"I love you, too, Hakase."

The dark-haired girl almost started crying. It was all so sweet and going to be so tragic with Zero Reverse. She did feel tears welling in her eyes. But she suppressed them as the time sped up to a date she knew by heart. And she was now in a building she had been in many times before. Sirens blared and red lights flashed around.

Zero Reverse was happening before her eyes.

What was happening frightened her. It was horrible what was happening. And know what was going to know was even scarier. Knowing what happens next always seems to make things scarier than when you don't know what will happen. Knowledge can cause such blinding terror!

Copper took deep breaths to calm herself. It wasn't actually happening; just one of Nan's memories, she kept reminding herself. She watched as her grandmother tearfully and fearfully gave Yusei to her husband. The brunette watched them as Hakase fled with their son. After a couple seconds, she ran in the opposite direction.

The dark-haired girl watched as her grandmother looked out among the chaos and destruction. Nan cried violently as she sank to the ground. She thought she had lost everything. She didn't know where either her son or husband was. It was so tragic.

Copper began to cry; she'd always been a bit emotional. She didn't care what might happen. If it affected her psychic abilities or not. But she couldn't hold the tears back. Her grandparents had lost each other and their son. Her grandmother didn't even know that he was alive; where her grandfather did. The world she was watching shook and dissolved.

Yusei…Hakase…Why can't I be with you?

The voice rang in the dark-haired girl's head. It was a sad voice that had once been full of life and excitement. It sounded like all the voice's owner wanted her family again.

I wish I could help…the young psychic wished inside her head, If only I could. Then you could have your family again, Nan…Grandmother.

The world shook the girl's vision again and she felt an intense pain in her right arm. She felt nauseous and nervous. What was happening? Her stomach did back flips as her heart pounded, her head reeling. She felt dizzy as she felt the color drain completely from her face and began to break out in a cold sweat. The dark-haired girl hoped that this wouldn't last long. Or that this was hurting her health in some way. She'd be majorly scolded if it was.

She saw the hospital room come back into her sight. Her Mark burned more intensely by the second. She felt herself sway from dizziness and fell sideways a little. Copper felt the strong arms of her friend keep her from collapsing further. Lane watched her as her eyes returned to normal with her face extremely pale; she was shaking and her loose hair was sticking to her face. She had several beads of sweat dripping down her face that were mixing with the salty tears pouring from her gorgeous eyes. Her breathing was a bit ragged.

Well, we now know what happens if she materializes this card anyway. He thought.

"Copper, are you all right?" he didn't know what else to say; she didn't dry her tears as she slowly sat up. She shook her head very slowly, as if it was unpleasant to do so, "You want me to get you some water?"

She nodded her head slowly and Lane got up and left the room. She clutched her arm as the crimson glow from it disappeared. She tried to get her breathing normal again as she wiped the sweat off of her forehead. The dark-haired girl dried her eyes. Playing that spell did help a little. She understood what Nan had been through. And that all she wanted was to be with her husband and baby boy again.

The psychic watched her friend intently as he returned with a cold bottle of water. She shakily took if from him and sipped at the contents slowly. Copper blushed, though it wasn't noticeable because her face was already flushed from what she had gone through, as she felt the ice-blue-haired boy rubbed her back in circles.

"What happened?" he asked gently.

"I saw nearly everything she went through with my dad's dad. And they knew everyone. Each of our grandparents."

"Oh, wow." He commented quietly.

"But it was so sad because I knew what was going to happen. They were so happy! And Roman had to go and ruin it!" she let more tears run down her face, but hastily wiped them away. More kept coming though.

Lane wrapped his arms around her in a comforting manner. He hated seeing her so upset. She cried into him as she had done with her father. She was glad that he was giving her comfort; Copper didn't even notice how close they were or that she wasn't blushing.

They both heard a slight murmur. The dark-haired girl and ice-blue-haired boy looked at the psychic's grandmother. Her eyes moved a little from their closed state. She seemed to becoming restless. Her eyes began to open a little. Then a little more and a little more until the blue-indigo eyes were completely open.

The brunette looked at both of them, quizzically. There was a strange silence between them. It was like anticipation filled that small room. Copper's eyes widened as she realized what she had done. She didn't know whether to consider it amazing, strange, or slightly disturbing. At the moment, all she could do was stare in amazement. Had she really awoken her grandmother from a thirty-seven-year coma?

Nan looked at the two young teenagers before her. A boy and a girl. She knew for a fact that she didn't know them. But both looked familiar. The boy had ice-blue-colored hair that was a tad long, but framed his pale, sharp features nicely. His eyes were a simple blue. He looked like Ava almost… The brunette hadn't heard that name in what seemed like a long time.

She turned her attention to the girl. She had black hair that had a shade of what looked like burgundy threading through it; were they highlights or natural? Her eyes were cat-shaped and had two colors. They were mostly blue-indigo but had little flecks of dark amber-gold here and there. Her hair was long—waist-length to be precise—and tied tightly in a braid, keeping it out of her soft, pale features. She looked a lot like Yusei… The girl was trembling a little, and she had a duel disk strapped on; her pale face was even paler than it normally should've been. Her face was flushed a little. Was she sick?

Who were they?

"Who..." she started, finding her voice. "Who…are you?"

Coming Up in Lost and Found

"Who are you?"

"I…umm…you see…uh, the thing is…"

"Yes? Who are you?"

"This Lane...Lane Kessler. And my name is, is Cyli-Elizabeth. Cyli-Elizabeth...Fudo."
