Hello so first I want to thank everyone for the reviews it made me very happy and secondly I would like to point out the ages of the characters so since Jack is 19 so is Carly (I have no idea how old in the anime she is said to be xD), Yusei is 18 (I think he had his birthday in the anime but I'm not following it think of this story as before the second season right after dark signer arc but after meeting sherry so along season two -wants to include sherry in story-)

Sherry: hehe I'll be in, you'd better or else…*sherry glare of doooooom*

Jack: come on let's get to the story

Me: Why soooo serioussss

Carly: that kind of failed sorry FTP =P

Akiza: with you on this one Carly =P

Me: *goes off to emo corner* D:

Luna: FTP does not own yugioh 5d or any of us characters if she did Yusei would have proposed to Aki already…

Yusei is heard in the distance and Akiza: Whhhaaaa?

Carly had the weird feeling in the pit of her stomach that feeling which always came before something bad. And when it came to that something bad for Carly it was always very, very extremely, horribly bad. Just like the duel she had had with that psychic Arcadia president, what was his name again? Sayer, right, and then she had apparently turned into some psycho messenger for some earthbound immortal, something her pride couldn't take not that she would tell anyone about it. However it still stung badly. Well at least she had taught that Sayer/Divine guy a lesson…

"Carly, CARLY WAIT UP," called a voice.

'About time they stopped hiding'

"H-h-ey, what are you doing here?" she asked feigning surprise as her six friends ran up to her. Over the years she was getting pretty good at this double life, she even impressed herself at how natural the 'timid hyperactive klutz' was coming to her lately.

"Well, umm, we…umm," Akiza seemed at a loss of words which was strange for the ex-Black Rose, Carly had to admit though she was happy she didn't hold a grudge towards her for the Sayer incident. The rest seemed as shy and fidgety today as Akiza, which for them was, well, very strange.

Carly chuckled under her breath warming up to them like she had to no one else before apart from her big sister.

'NO, shoot, Carly don't get too close, it'll hurt if we got to make a run for it'

Jack on the other hand had no problems so of course he asked her immediately, "So, who were you visiting at the hospital?"

Carly tensed for a second but made herself relax, she knew they would ask the minute she sensed them, which was a minute too late as she had already went inside the giant hospital, the same one she had met Jack in, the same one her sister was in since that accident four years ago. She knew she couldn't dodge the question so for once since she started her double life she told the truth.

"My big sister has been in a coma for four years, she's been in that hospital since, and it's the best in the whole country, so I visit whenever I can,"

The group all remained silent. Akiza was the first to speak realizing how little they knew about their green haired stuttering friend, "We're so sorry Carly we shouldn't have pried you don't have to answer,"

Right then Mina and Officer Trudge had come running to them with apparently exciting new by their troubled expressions. Carly had never loved that woman's gift for sudden interruptions more than now.

"Jack…everyone…" she managed to say while panting, "Fortune thief …s-struck…again,"

"What?" they all cried.

'It's impossible,' Carly thought.

"The…" Jack raised his hand signaling to Officer Trudge to be silent

"Carly, we're listening,"

'This is no time for that didn't you want to catch Fortune Thief?' she thought in frustration remembering how a determined Jack had vowed to bring the thief to justice dragging of course the rest of the team in his mission.

"My family the Nagisa had only two daughters, twins, we were born to take over the family…trade job you could call it,"

"Twins like us" Leo said loudly

"Leo shhhh" Luno reprimanded him

Carly paused laughing for a second, "She always used to remind me how she would take care of me after mum died, although she always insisted I call her my big sister because as she put it she had been born first thus 'I'll never let anyone hurt you, my birth certificate says it's my duty as the older sister' she used to say,"

"Her name was, is, Alex, she and I trained to be the best at the job, to surpass our mother who had died when we were ten, but four years ago there was an accident, my sister ended up in a coma, and I remained alone, our dad had left we never met him and I couldn't stand keeping the stupid family job, it…hurt, too much," she could feel the hot tears running down her cheeks glad that her glasses masked them as she faced the ground..

Carly took a deep breath and continued taken aback by how easily she had told them the truth when she had been hiding her true self for four years, "So I followed my true dream to become a journalist and here I am, most of my money goes to the hospital bills but hey it's not so bad,"

"What happened to her, to Alex?" Akiza asked

Carly turned to her too quickly raising her head and snapped, "Its none of your business"

Akiza and the rest froze surprised at how cold their usually cheerful optimistic friend had just sounded and were slightly taken aback at the sight of her tears, and the pained glint they had caught in her eyes.

Carly realized that she had lost her mask and recovering quickly she apologized to Akiza whispering her words only audible to the nine of them.

Suddenly Carly felt herself being pulled into a warm embrace, "No I'm sorry, you must be hurting right now and I asked you to go back to obviously painful memories, forgive me,"

Carly hadn't felt so loved in a long time; the pain that she had tried to wash away all those years surfaced all at once causing her tears to triple, she buried her head into Akiza's shoulder crying the weight she had in her heart out. Akiza had felt it too this loneliness as the Black Rose, when she thought her parents didn't love her, she really was her friend, even though she had tried to steal her glasses numerous times. "Wear bloody contacts, Jack will fall for those eyes over and over again' she repeated every tie Carly had tried to run after her although she was truly blind, pleading for her to give them back. She understood that hole Carly had in her chest and the team had saved her but Carly, the real Carly couldn't bear the thought of letting them see her weakness.

Carly couldn't believe she had broken down in front of them; she mentally cursed herself as she couldn't stop crying but only cried harder. Akiza still held her caressing her hair gently while the others came up to her, the twins hugging her legs both crying at her tearful story, Yusei hand on her shoulder squeezed to comfort her and Jack unexpected words,

"We're here for you idiot,"

Even Mina was sniffling and agreed with him while Trudge was comically crying his heart out.

As we made our way to the nearest coffee shop to hear the latest news on Fortune Thief jack and Carly were the last to move. When the others had covered a considerable distance from the two Jack grabbed Carly's wrist spun her around and kissed her forehead, holding her close to him. Carly blushed but before she could ask anything he whispered in her ear,

"Forgive my curiosity I shouldn't have pushed you,"

Jack had never even thought of what Carly must have passed, she was always such a happy klutz.

"It's okay you big dummy," she smiled at him and for the first time it was a sincere smile, she hadn't smiled like that for long and it even made the King gasp.

They headed towards the shop were the others were calling them impatiently. When they arrived Mina said, "Seems we arrived just in time for the news, and it seems to be confirming what I was about to tell you,"

Carly: *cries in sad corner*

Akiza: *pats Carly's head sniffling too* Now now it's okay

Luna: Jack was soooo cute

Jack: *slightly blushes* hey, hey why did FTP stop now, I mean cliffhanger much right?

Misty: Don't change the subject ^^

Me: Where did you come from? O.O

Yusei: I'm sorry for the above nonsense *smiles*

Sherry: for your sake I hope I'll be there next chapter…

Leo: HAHA the next chapter is sooo gonna be exciting and I'll be the hero so read and review people and come back for the next chapter xD

Me: Hey don't take my spotlight D:
