Well this fic started as a one shot, but then I was inspired to write something relating to it. So I decided to write this as a chaptered story and thus came this first chapter! I decided to use Oliver's last name in the Japanese version. These are the ages for this fic. Oliver and Cleménce would be in the same school year as Harriet and Toinette. It's set about a year before the first Beyblade series.

Oliver and Cleménce (Clems) = 12

Harriet, Toinette and Enrique = 13

Johnny = 14

Robert = 15

Harriet was a 13 year old girl with long pink/purple hair. She lived in Paris, France and came from a wealthy family. Her parents were family friends of one of the most well known families in France, the Boulanger's. She, herself had become close friends with their son, Oliver who was almost a year younger than her. Harriet attended a private school and had two best friends, Toinette (Who was almost a month older than her) and Clemence (Who was nine months younger than her). Oliver didn't attend her school because he was home schooled and thus the two girls had never met him...yet. Also, Harriet had yet to meet Oliver's three closest friends- Enrique Giancarlo, Robert Jurgen and Johnny McGregor. She'd heard about them and about Beyblading from Oliver and he'd heard about the girls from Harriet. One day Oliver had come over to visit Harriet on a day where the weather looked more unpredictable than ever.

"So, why're you here Oliver?" Harriet asked as they were served tea by a servant.
"Can't I just drop in for a visit?" Oliver smiled as he sipped his tea.
"I guess, but I've known you long enough to be able to tell by that the look on your face means your up to something. Your not as innocent as you look!" She smiled back.
"I should've known you'd be suspicious, alright I guess I'll tell you then!"

Harriet took a sip of her tea and stared at him, ready to listen.

"Well, Enrique, Johnny and Robert are coming over this weekend. I thought you should meet them, I'm sure they'd love to meet you!"
"R-really?"
"Well, Enrique would...He's a bit too happy to meet girls, so I'd be careful around him. Robert and Johnny aren't really bothered, but I thought it was time one of my childhood friends met my three closest friends in the Beyblading world."

Harriet sighed, even though she liked meeting new people. She looked forward to meeting some of Oliver's friends, but she remembered that she was shy around new people. Her nerves about meeting them took over. Oliver sighed, sensing her feelings.

"I should've known. I'm sorry, I shouldn't throw a load of people at you at once should I?"
"No it's fine, I'll be ok!" Harriet reassured him.
"Good, I'm sure you'll like them!" Oliver smiled.

The weekend arrived. Oliver and Harriet sat in the lounge drinking tea.

"Master Oliver your guests have arrived." The servant told them.
"Send them in." Oliver smiled, he glanced at Harriet, who fiddled nervously her cup. "It'll be fine, you'll be ok. You've been in rooms with a hundred people you didn't know before, it's not like those balls."
"I know..."

Enrique, Robert and Johnny entered the room. As they noticed a girl in the room with Oliver, they stopped in their tracks. She avoided their gazes, staring into her teacup.

"Oliver! You never told us you have a girlfriend!" Johnny teased.
"No, you've got it wrong! I told you that a friend of mine was coming to visit me today. I've told you about her before, this is my childhood friend- Harriet!"
"Hi!" She smiled, barely looking at them.

Enrique walked right up to her and bowed down on one knee, he gently kissed her hand.

"A pleasure to meet you fair maiden!" He smiled.
"N-nice to meet you...Um?" Harriet managed to say, she was not used to such friendly behaviour as this.
"Enrique, my dear!" He grinned.

He stood up to sit between her and Oliver. He put his arm around her and she blushed, not knowing how to react. Oliver looked at Enrique with an annoyed expression, he opened his mouth to speak but someone got there first.

"Enrique, that is not the proper way to treat a young lady you just met! I'm sure that she is too polite in order to tell you that the way you're acting is rude!"

Enrique moved his arm away, Harriet just sipped her tea.

"Sorry Robert!" Enrique rolled his eyes.
"I apologise for Enrique's appalling behaviour, I am Robert Jurgen mademoiselle Harriet, it is a pleasure to be in the presence of one of Oliver's childhood friends." He smiled.
"Thank you, it's nice to meet you all!" Harriet smiled, but something inside her felt intimidated by him.
"I think you should introduce yourself too!" Robert glared at the red head stood on his right.
"Do I hafta?"
"Yes, it's rather rude not to, were you not taught manners?"
"Fine! Hey, I'm Johnny!" He looked at her as he said it but soon diverted his attention.

Robert sighed, Johnny was so rude! He wasn't sure who was worse out of him and Enrique. Oliver sighed to starting to wonder if anything good would come of this.

"So Harriet, do you have a boyfriend?" Enrique grinned.

Robert glared at him.

"What? I was only asking, so we can get to know her!" He also wanted to know if she was single, therefore meaning she was available.
"No, I don't. I've never been in a relationship before." Harriet mumbled.

The look on Johnny's face made him look like he wanted to burst out in laughter. Robert glared at him, hoping he wouldn't. Enrique had a gentle smile on his face, he loved inexperienced girls, Oliver noticed this and shot Enrique another glare. Enrique sighed when he noticed the look on Oliver's face. Now the attention was on Johnny, who turned himself away to stop himself from laughing. If it were just the four boys, he would've started laughing already. If only he wasn't being forced by Robert to be polite. Johnny finally burst into laughter.

"You're kidding me right!? You're like 13 and you've never had a relationship! Whereas Enrique's already had millions!"

Enrique glared at him.

"Maybe you would get a date if you weren't so timid!" Johnny couldn't stop laughing.

All three boys glared at him.

"I think you need a time out Johnathon. That was uncalled for! Apologise!" Robert frowned.
"Sorry! But I can't help it!" Johnny walked out of the room, his laughter echoed in the hallway.
"Sorry, I should've said that Johnny isn't one of the nicest people in the world!" Oliver smiled reassuringly.
"Its fine, I'm ok." Harriet smiled back. Truth is, she chose not to be in a relationship.
"Shall I sort him out?" Robert asked, echos of laughter still audible.
"Yes, that might be a good idea!" Oliver said.

Robert left the room, Enrique stared into Harriet's eyes.

"He lied about those relationships by the way!"
"Don't even try it Enrique! You're gonna have to be more honest!" Enrique's eyes widened as they turned to stare at an agitated Oliver.

But then he had a sly grin and whispered into Oliver's ear.

"Jealous are we? I think a young Boulanger has a crush on the mademoiselle in the room!"
"No I don't!" Oliver muttered under his breath. "I just don't want you hurting her!"

Enrique smiled, unconvinced by him. Robert returned with a now calmer Johnny. Harriet had really big first impressions with Oliver's friends.

I didn't really know how to end that, but I hope it's ok. I wrote it almost a month ago (Was a month on the 1st) so I had to put it up eventually! XD! Please review!
