A/N: I was given a challenge by elinorthefair to write a story using words from a scrabble game being played over the internet, with two words coming every other day. I thought I'd adapt the idea a bit for Beyblade and see where the prompt led, writing a series of (possibly) connected one-and-a-half drabbles containing the words.
As I said, two words will appear every other day, and hopefully the entire story will make sense. But it probably won't – I have no idea which words will show up next!
Today's words – PLETHORA and BIKER
Chapter 1 – So It Begins
Tyson was extremely confused. It wasn't as if Kai had exactly given them a plethora of excuses as to his conspicuous absence from practice that day.
Tyson had arrived at their usual meeting place by the skate-park at about half past nine, three quarters of an hour after Kai's usual deadline for their arrival, and found only Ray and Max there, looking decidedly bored. Ray seemed to be on the lookout, whilst Max was watching the solitary biker trying to perform the same one-eighty degree turn that the three skateboarders were pulling off with ease.
"Hey!" Tyson called as he jogged up. "Why aren't we practising?"
"No Kai," Ray explained. "He hasn't turned up at all."
"That's weird."
"D'you think something's wrong with him?"
Tyson shrugged. "It's not like he hasn't done this before. He's Kai."
Ray scowled. "That's the point, Tyson. Kai's never missed practice before. Ever."
To be continued...
A/N: my word-count does weird things – it counts speech marks as one word, and two hyphenated words as one word too... However, counting manually, there are 150 words here.
