Max saw Carly looking worried. " You okay? " She knew her friend was worried about her sister.

"I'm just worried about Dea...especially with the stepped up security around here," Carly said. It was a few weeks ago when Alex and the others noticed that the Scientists and Erasers had stepped up on the security of the town, also including a new curfew that they enforced.

" We would have been contacted by now if she had been captured. How about you call her to see what's going on. " Max had a feeling that the security here had something to do with something in the town where Deanna was. She worried that things were about to get interesting soon.

"You're right, we would have been contacted if she'd been captured," Carly said as she took her Bishidex out of her pocket. She knew that the School would want her friend in return for the safety of her sister. Calling her sister, she waited for Deanna to pick up.

Deanna heard her Bishiedex ring and went to answer it. " Hello Carly. " She said seeing the number on the screen. She was very glad it was her sister.

"Hey sis," Carly said, glad to see that her sister was alive and safe.

" Hey. How are you. I'm sorry about not calling. Things have been a bit interesting here. " Deanna said.

"Max and I are doing alright, despite everything that's going on. So, what's been so interesting that you couldn't call your big sister?" Carly asked.

" You do know I did catch a wild Bishie. Thalia had been blackmailed by the scientists to spy on me and Tracy." Deanna started off and continued with what had been happening the last few days. She was glad that Thalia had her Golden Fleece back. Deanna left out the dreams not wanting her sister to worry that something was wrong.

Carly listened to what her sister was telling her, glad that she and her Bishie were safe now. "It's good to hear that you and Thalia are now safe Dea," she said after hearing everything. "What about Tracy? How is she doing?" She asked, seeing as Deanna didn't say much about their friend.

" Tracy is doing good. She was re united with her boyfriend Daniel too. He had been turned into an Eraser and we've been looking for a way for him to be human again. " Deanna said. She was glad to see Tracy happy and glad that Daniel would get help.

"That's good to hear, and I know Ark will be happy to hear that too," Carly said as a smile appeared on her face. "You said that Thalia is going to help Daniel become human again?" She asked, curious.

" She is. Her father is the Olympian god Zeus and has agreed to help Daniel since he helped get the Fleece back. " Deanna said.

"That's good to hear," Carly said as she wondered about telling her sister about Yugito and how unique she was or not.

" Anything happen where you are?" Deanna asked. She still debated on saying something about the dreams but would wait till she knew more about them.

(*teasing* Just noticed, hm?)

"You remember me telling you about Ark's newest Bishie, Yugito, right?" Carly asked.

( I did. Sorry about that. Surprised me a bit. might not be on much the next two days. Need to bake pies tomorrow and have family coming over on Tuesday. )

" I do. " Deanna said in a curious tone. She hoped that everything was alright.

(sorry about that...and thanks for the news. Well, if I don't see you until after Christmas then Merry Christmas!)

"Everything's alright, but we found out that she's a cat demon. It was quite interesting to find out about it to be honest," Carly admitted, remembering the event.

( Merry Christmas to you too. :) )

" Really? That sounds interesting. " Deanna said. " I'm glad everything is right. Carly Is it okay if I ask you something about the day mom went missing?" Deanna hoped her sister remembered more than she did about that day.

"It was. Surprised a few of us at first, but we all got use to it. I think the only problem Yugito has now is the amount of neko jokes she has now," Carly said before telling her sister to ask away about their mother.

" Do you remember anything odd about that day. Did she say anything about who she was meeting or where she was going?" Deanna asked.

"Sorry Dea, I don't remember..." Carly said. "Why are you asking about mom all of a sudden?" She asked, although she had a reason it was interconnected to who Deanna's Bishie was.

" I've been dreaming about that day lately. I feel that I'm being shown these memories so I can finally have peace about her going missing. Though, I don't know if I want the answer, knowing the answer could be a bad one." Deanna said .

"Is it because of Thalia that you're having these dreams?" Carly asked, seeing that Max was also interested in the conversation.

"It is." Deanna said. She smiled at Thalia not once regretting helping her friend , knowing that it had been the right thing.
