A/N: Ok, starting a new fic is always hard for me. Gosh where to start, where to start. Ok got it. I do not own Beyblade, only my ideas and OC's. Without further ado, read ahead!

"You've what!?" Max screamed out loudly at me almost breaking my eardrums. Even Tyson had stopped eating to stare at me. We were outside in the supposedly 'cold and freezing' park to train evasiveness. We may have beaten Brooklyn but that match showed me how much we still had left to learn. Right now we were currently on break at a picnic table.

"Kai, are you serious?" Tyson said putting down his fork.

"What's the big deal?"

"How can you not have celebrated Christmas before? It's a magical time of year for all!" Max said jumping up from the table.

"I still don't see what the big deal is. It's not even that serious." I said crossing my arms.

"You know now that I think about it, we haven't celebrated it as a team yet. We should totally do it this year!" Tyson said also jumping up.

"Actually that's a pretty good idea, Kai." Ray said from across the table.

"Come on Kai! Try not to be such a sourpuss." Tyson said looking at me.

"Yeah Kai, we never get to take a break! Just this once!" Max also pleaded next to him.

I looked at Ray to see what he thought to see he was right next to Tyson and Max with a pleading look on his face. "Please Kai?" they all said in unison.

"Hmm." I said looking at the ceiling, wondering if I should.

"Yes! That was totally a yes 'hn'!" Tyson said jumping up and down.

'Since when did they name my hn's?'

"I don't know Tyson it had more of a hnn to it than his standard hn." Max said putting a finger to his chin.

"You don't know what you're talking about." Tyson said putting his hands behinds his head with a smile.

"I do to!" the blonde shouted back.

"No you don't!"

"Yes I do!

"No you don't. His yes 'hn' is like this. HN!"

"No its not that's his thinking 'hn.' It's more like hn!"

"You are so wrong Maxie." Tyson said smiling wider.

"You're just in denial." Max retorted back.

"Hn." Tyson said in a mocking tone.

Max giggled. "I'll show you!" he said before suddenly snatching Tyson's hat and running full speed outside.

Tyson smiled and chased after him tackling him into a snow mound. "Guys put a jacket on! You'll catch a cold!" Ray said running outside after them, leaving the door to the rest area wide open. I smirked when the two hit Ray with a snowball. The neko-jin smirked before making his own and hitting Tyson square in the face. The boy blinked into the snow while Max laughed at him. It wasn't long however before Max was also hit in the face. All three quickly made forts, with Tyson and Max teaming up on Ray. I took another sip of my hot chocolate. What the hell is Christmas anyways? Judging on the way the others reacted it's pretty big here. They really looked like they were having fun outside. Sometimes, just sometimes I wish I could be like them, unaffected by the memories of the Abbey. I blinked when Ray suddenly ran inside. "Kai! I need your help!" the neko-jin said dragging me outside and behind his snow fort. He quickly ducked down as a snowball came flying over the fort hitting me in the face. Of course I didn't feel it but I got angry anyways.

"Max!" I shouted standing up. Ray laughed and pulled me back down just as another snowball flew past my head.

"Kai, it's a game calm down. Look." He said taking my hands. He picked up some snow and molded it into a perfect round shape. He handed it to me and pointed at the other fort before making his own. I stood on my knees and launched the snowball directly at Tyson's head, missing by a hair. I got back down.

"I need another one." I said looking around. I was really getting into this.

"Make one." He said throwing another one with a smile.

"How?"

"You don't know how to make a snowball?" he asked me almost surprised.

"No."

"Ok, I'll show you." He said taking my hands again. This time I blushed slightly. I rarely let anyone make physical contact with me and it felt, well good almost.

I watched as he guided my hands into some snow and helped me sculpt a round ball. "Is it done?" I asked holding it up to my face.

"Yup. Try throwing it." He said smirking.

I stood on my knees again and threw it the same way I had thrown the first one. I was surprised however when it burst into snow in the air. I grunted as another snowball hit me on the side of my face. "What happened?" I asked.

He laughed again. "It will do that sometimes. It takes practice." He said making me another one. He handed it to me and I threw it again, this time hitting Max. I jumped up and screamed yes! Really loudly by the way. Four or five snowballs hit me in the face, coating it with snow. I sighed before getting back down.

"Um sorry." I said smirking slightly. I really hadn't had this much fun in a long time. It was enjoyable. We played for another hour before Tyson, Ray, and Max started sneezing. I definitely didn't want them to get colds so I announced it was time to head back.

"That was amazing!" Tyson said once we had started on the trail to get to his house.

"Yeah it was! I'm going to go pack!" Max said before running off quickly. Tyson ran after him leaving just Ray and I walking in the big snowy park.

"So where were you planning on going?" Ray said looking directly at me with those beautiful golden eyes.

"Um I didn't think about that." I said sweat dropping slightly. I actually didn't even approve of this little trip yet.

"What about a lodge or something like that?"

"I don't know where any lodges could be." I said with a sigh. Why couldn't we just stay home?
"I've got it!" Ray said suddenly. "Have your bags packed by morning kay? We'll leave right after school tomorrow." he said suddenly running off. (yes they're in school) I watched him run down the street and turn the corner. There was something about that neko-jin. I just couldn't put my finger on it. He was always so cheerful. I wonder how that would feel. Don't think like that. I'm not checking him out or something. Ray's a friend, just a friend, and that's all we'll ever be. For now at least…

(Ray's POV: Next day)

I sighed before yawning. The stage was set and we were all ready to go. I had a lot of connections throughout the BBA before I had met Tyson. We were to be spending Christmas Break, which started tomorrow, at a ski lodge in Aspin. We would have our own 2 story lodge complete with everything we needed and more. Including a heated indoor swimming pool and Jacuzzi. I am officially excited. Man I can hardly imagine how I'm going to get through a whole day of school. I quickly grabbed some of my books for my first few periods before walking calmly to Max's locker which was a few feet away. He and Tyson seemed to be arguing. "Hey guys what's going on?" I asked standing next to the blue haired boy.

"Maxie won't tell me his locker combo!" Tyson complained.

"Well it is his locker." I said sweat dropping.

"Yeah but he put a few of my books in there because of that day when we had detention. All I'm doing is asking them to get them." He said crossing his arms.

"Max?" I said turning to the blonde who was currently blushing and fiddling with something in his hand.

"Can I talk to you real quick?" he said suddenly pulling me to the side.

"What's wrong? Why can't you just give him his books?"

"Well remember those pictures I had in my locker that Tyson had gave me from the reunion of the first day we met?" he said not looking me directly in the eye.

"The one that was just a picture of both of you in it?"

"Yeah, that and a bunch of others."

"So you have a bunch of pictures of Tyson in your locker and you don't want Tyson to see them then?"

"Y-yeah." He said blushing. I had known for awhile now that Max had feelings for the blue haired world champ. He told me everything and anything that had to do with his feelings so I always made sure to have an ear open in case he ever wanted to talk.

"Ok, I'll distract him, you get his books out." I said walking over to Tyson. I put an arm over his shoulder and turned him around. "So how've you been?" I said making small talk.

"Um, well now that you mention it pretty good. Max has been acting a little weird though."

"Weird as in how?" I asked suddenly interested.

"Weird as in he doesn't seem himself. I feel weird sometimes when I'm around him too. Do you think it's me?" He said blushing a little but clearly trying to hide it.

"No way! He probably just is excited about the trip is all." I said smiling.

"Here you go Tyson." Max said holding up Tyson's books. "I'm sorry about that."

Tyson smiled and took his books. "No problem Max. Come on let's get to first period before we have another detention."

"Right. See you later Ray!" Max said before sprinting off.

"Bye Ray!" Tyson said before running after the blonde. Those two are… weird. Seriously, I really think that they don't know how to show their emotions, especially Tyson. Other times they're just as hyper as always.

"Ray!" someone said suddenly breaking me out of my thoughts. I turned around and saw as Kai walked towards me, a tired expression on his face. "Ray did you figure out where were going?" he said leaning against a locker.

"Yeah. I've got everything set up, we should be leaving right after school." I said with a smile.

"Ok, good. A-…" Kai stopped midsentence and sighed. "Lets go somewhere less crowded." He said clearly talking about the mob of fan girls looking at him from across the corner.

"Where did you have in- Kai!!" Kai suddenly grabbed me by my shirt and jumped out of the window. I screamed but stopped when I saw that we weren't falling. He had landed on a tree and was holding me by the collar of my shirt. "You know we could have just went into the boy's bathroom." I said looking down from the view of the tree I was currently hanging on. I looked to my left to see a classroom full of kids in cooking. The window suddenly opened and Tyson and Max's heads popped out.

"Ray?" Tyson said looking at me weirdly.

"Yeah?" I said wondering what would happen if Kai had let go of me.

"What are you doing?" Max asked also giving me the same look.

"You know, just hanging out." I said smiling.

I heard Kai chuckle a little before he pulled me up so that I was sitting on a branch. "So you got everything set up right?" Kai said leaning against the trunk of the tree.

"Yup." I said smiling a little.

"When are we leaving?" Tyson asked ignoring the teacher's calls to close the window.

"Right after school."

"How are we getting there?" Max asked while stirring a pot of something. Both had chef hats on and aprons smothered in flour.

"By plane of course." I said looking up at the sky. I started to laugh when the teacher suddenly came up behind both boys, grabbing them by their ears.

"That's detention for the both of you." She said wrinkling her nose. She then closed the window while I continued to laugh.

"Looks like we'll be leaving an hour after school." Kai said with a loud sigh. "I'll see you after school." He said before jumping down. He walked calmly into the school leaving me with a smile on my face. This was going to be a great trip. "Wait, how am I going to get down?" I said aloud looking around. Cats aren't very good in trees. "Oh crap. Kai!!!"
