"Wow they got some impressive stuff in the new Magazine!" the young male that set crossed legged paging the newest attrition of his favorite sports magazine. He had posed for the cover of this very magazine recently.
"Tyson if on that article on you I really heard that story to many times." The bond American sitting close to him said paging the sports illustrated swimwear addition. Max Tate looked forward to this edition of sports illustrated every year.
Tyson grinned slightly and rolled his eyes. "No! It's about new Beyblade products that could be made, looks pretty cool actually. Saying it's from a high school students projects." The champion said his brown eyes gazing down at the pages. "Wait till Kenny reads this he'll go fan boy about it." The Japanese male said excited to show his smart friend about the teaser researches that was published- Tyson couldn't help but wondered who the brains was behind this development – some super strong Kenny type with glasses and a super computer….
"He's either going to go fanboy or gain a new enemy and try to out nerd him." Max laughed his blue eyes lit up. "If this is the future of Beyblade- maybe we could meet this guy and see what the fuss is about."
"Steady." Holding her breath as the tweezers slowly moved a smaller chip into place. It made a soft clicking sound as it connected in all the right places. Tessa sat back she could actually feel slight perspiration on her forehead- she was in the middle of her best experiment yet and it was going well – not having blown up anything or set fire to her schools Tec lab – which was good.
"Teresa!" A loud sharp voice made the dark haired female jump slightly causing the tool in her hand to fall to the ground a slight cruise escaped her lips. "What are you doing in the Lab ? I thought we talked about this- the school lab is off limits after school hours… and if you haven't noticed school has been our for several hours."
Picking up the fallen tools Tessa sighed, she lost track of time again. "Sorry Mrs Yuka." She attempted to sound as sincere as possible. "I really needed to finish my project, won't happen again." The final year high school student picked up the electronic she was working on and carefully placed it into her bag.
"You have a good mind Teresa- don't let it get you into trouble." The teacher shook her head as the student stumbled past her. The girl was always here in the lab leaving some teachers to pity her and others to wonder. Teresa has been tested to have a exceptional high IQ one that landed her in top classes and access to the schools more advanced equipment as well as a meeting with some important people that showed interest in her inventions and research.
"Tessa… Don't forget MR Dickinson of the BBA wishes to see you on Thursday."
"I know." The girl beamed about meeting, she was almost fan-girling at the possibilities of the opportunity to show off her gadgets to the head of the beyblading industry and maybe- just maybe meet the team behind the man. "I can't wait." With that Tessa winked and left the room to rush home. It was already dark outside for a moment she wondered if anyone would be worried that she's late and then she shook off the feeling.
"Mr. Dickinson will see you now." The smiling woman said from her spot behind the desk. Teresa felt her hands warm up and her eyes wide – I can do this – so said to herself metal.
One of her professors was extremely impressed with her paper on electronic waves and how it links to energy and force of beyblades and connection between the beast and its wielder – so impress he wanted her to meet with one of the most influential persons in the industry and maybe get a shot at working for a company similar after school…. Even get a scholarship.
"Tessa you have an incredible mind- it's a terrible thing to waste." That was his words – it was inspirational and disturbing at the same time….
"Thanks so much, again sorry I am late!" Tessa said in a quick tone, she had been late something she hated but thanks to her dad not being able to drive her and the buss being late there wasn't away to avoid it. She straightened up, Tessa had attempted on looking smart today. Out of her normal blue jeans and tank top she was wearing a black dress pants and white blouse- her black raven hair was pulled back into a tight phony tail. Her green eyes filled with hesitation when she walked into the office of MR. Dickinson ECO of the BBA Corporation.
The man was just like on TV , he was on the heavy side of life but smiling wrinkles sat at the corners of his eyes showing his years very clearly. AT first the meeting was pleasant, Teresa smiled politely as they exchanged greetings and he motioned for her to take a seat.
"I have heard so much about you Teresa, and all good things- I can't understand all the science talk." The man smiled fondly. "But from what I could make out you found a more efficient way of improving the sport as we know it…"
"Sir…" Tessa bit her lip and then spoke, she wants use to all the complements. " The article was just for a student paper, my researchers isn't finished yet and I have a lot of bugs to work out." She spoke picking her words very carefully.
"OH don't miss understand me Mss. Clark. I would like to help you with your research and projects. The BBA would give you the tools as well as test subjects for your projects, but in return we would ask for first option on this technology you're developing." The elder man was all business now – he would let her reach her goals in exchange he could have first option- The Older man knew that the American team would soon notice her work and be dragging her off to their team before he dust even settles. "I would pay for your engineering of course." He added.
Unsure about this sudden proposal, Tessa watched the elderly smiling man. "When you say test subjects ?" IT would be nice to test her new launcher on somebody else she had been electrifying herself enough lately the idea was extremely temping…
"Tyson It's not funny!" Kenny gasped his face was going pale fast. " If Mister Dickinson is talking to a Tec engineer, scientist whatever … what if he's looking at replacing me?!" The young Japanese boy said obviously greatly distressed about his situation.
"Relaxed Kenny. We would never let that happen." It was a still smiling Tyson's hand hat touched Kenny's shoulder. "Come on chief – you're the only brains we want on the team, Mr. D wouldn't dare try to replace you – we wouldn't let him."
"We could always scare off the new guy." Max teased and gave the now relaxing Kenny a wink. "Just because he wants us to meet the engineer doesn't mean anything."
"Tyson and max are right." Rei didn't seem troubled at all as he got up, crossing his arms over his broad chest. "It would never happen – we are a team. But maybe some new information and a new prospective could be good for all of us. Besides this person is apparently our age, as high school student. They didn't publish any details on who he is exactly – protection pf privacy and all that." The Chinese Beyblade added in a relaxed tone. "Keep your enemy close and all that…"
"Sush with the fortune cookie Rei." Tyson gave Kenny's shoulder a squeeze. "Don't worry, this meeting will be over before you know it…. And no one is taking anyone's place on the team… Right Kai…." Tyson paused looking around... "Where did he go now?"
