A/N: Hey everyone! This is my second fic and I hope it will be more successful than the first. In this fic, Raven and Rowan are two girls who come into the lives of certain beybladers. Please read and review! And thanks to anyone who took their time to check this out! ;-)

Summary: Raven is a dark, cunning girl and former best friend to Rowan, a golden girl. When Raven leaves, Rowan loses herself, plunging into a deeply depressed state. Raven however, has a better time, seeing the world. When she leaves Paris, she leaves behind more friends for new ones in Russia. Little does she know, she'll be meeting not only friends but enemies as well. Will the two girls ever meet again? And will these girls have a happy ending?

It was long ago, I knew a girl. Her name was Raven. She was smart, cunning, fun, friendly and hilarious. She was very close to me. We grew up together, living our wildest dreams. But all that is gone now. For one day, one cold, foggy morning, our friendship would disappear into the mist.

"Raven, it's been so long…I've missed you."

"Yes it's been forever," she faltered.

Something was wrong. Raven never hesitated to say anything to me. We were the best of friends. We never kept anything from each other. No secrets, or so I thought.

"Listen, my parents, we're moving." She said slowly.

"Oh well that's alright, just give me your new address!" I said cheerily.

"No, you don't understand, I'm moving away, to Paris, France." She said.

At that point, I stopped breathing. Did she say she was moving to France? She couldn't do this to me. After everything we've been through.

A taxi was coming up the road, to where we were standing. The blur in the foggy morning made me feel dizzy. My best friend just told me she was leaving. She told me at the last minute! Why?

Whatever the reason, I never heard the end of it. As that yellow taxi took my best friend away. I felt a cold dampness on my cheek. I just stood there, in the cold morning. The dampness on my face freezing on. On that day, I had lost my best friend. I was lost to my thoughts, plunging deeper into my mind. Then, I thought to myself that I should just give it up. I would never have as great a friend as Raven. We were so close, it just seemed impossible to me, that she was truly gone.

As time passed, I grew far away from my peaceful childhood. After so many years I had become a teenaged girl. I started thinking, that she was only a fragment of time. That she was somewhere else, enjoying life, laughing at a joke. No matter how hard I tried, I could never bring myself to move on, entirely. Raven, my best friend. I never thought I would see her again.

Raven's Diary

Dear Diary,

Today has been a cool day. The Oak outside my window is growing slightly taller, as I've been lying in its shade everyday. It's amazing how something so ancient can be so strong and sturdy. I have been here in Paris for a long time. My French is getting better and soon, I'll be able to have a decent conversation with a 'Francais'.

Time passes by so fast here. It still seems like yesterday, the day I spoke to my best friend. I was being such a bad friend, telling her right before I left for Paris. I should've told her earlier and cherished every moment with her. But I wanted more and more wasn't there in that small town. It was elsewhere and I couldn't stay there with my wings clipped. I can't possibly imagine the pain I caused her, when I told her I was leaving forever. That single tear that rolled down her cheek, made me cry inside. I wanted to stay behind then. But it wouldn't have been any good for us. For reasons I can't explain, we just weren't meant to be friends forever.

However, it hasn't been such a terrible time here. I have met new friends and I'm getting ready to move on. I am learning quickly and I have so many other places to go. I think I will go to Russia afterwards. Maybe hit Moscow and bring the city to its knees. Maybe, maybe not. Then again, it's a pretty evil thought, so I'll think about it later. For now, I'll have a few more months with this great Oak. Then I'll have a ball in Russia. Maybe afterwards, I'll hit Asia and go through China and Japan. Maybe I'll even go to North America. That'll be the day… Until then, I'll cherish every moment here in Paris.

Raven's P.O.V.

It's been a few months now and I'm losing my interest in France. My friend Sebastien and Florence are starting to get on my nerves and that Oak is now blocking the view of my window. My parents are always working that it's not even funny anymore. This freakin house has decided to trip me up a few times and the floor's always cold.

So now, I think I'm going to see how nice it is in Russia. I mean, it can't be as boring and annoying as it is here. And besides, I'm sick and tired of this damned cold weather we've been having. For some reason, the sun is hiding itself from me, like I'm a cold-hearted person. Who in this sane world would think I'm cold-hearted? I mean I've cared for many people in my life. Like… like my parents! And… and… Ro-Rowan.

I felt a drop of water on my cheek. So now my world decides to rain. Is this whole world trying to freeze my heart? Cause it's doing a damn fine job!

Normal P.O.V.

Little did she know, that was exactly what was happening to her. After being confined in her town for so long, she had grown attached to all her friends and the pain had not only affected them, but her as well. She didn't want to accept the fact, but it was true. And everyone knew. Everyone but Raven, herself.

As she promised herself, Raven could not stay in Paris for long. So she said Au revoir France and hello Moscow! Raven had to fly away, to another place, before she could attach herself to any place. But things would get complicated…
