Here's the first of a few little spoilers from Town Gangs and Highschool Jerks. I wrote it when I started playing a game with Beyblader-grl. We both give each other challenges and then we have to write out the scenes using Town Gangs and Highschool Jerks characters. It's a lot of fun. Please review and tell me what you think.

Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade. And Chi belongs to Beyblader-grl.

Eri And Johnny Get Stuck In A Lift

They were on their school ski trip. All the grade 11's and 12's went up to the local mountain for two weeks to ski and hang out and all that good stuff. Of course, there was curfew and rules, rules, rules, but it was fun all the same...for most people that is. Johnny is one of them, for on this very trip, something wonderful, yet scary happens.

Eri was headed to the 5th floor because, that's where her room was. She was in a room with Mariam, Chi and the Litenre triplets, Tami, Tani, and Toni. Which wasn't as bad as she'd thought it was going to be. Just as she'd entered the elevator, she felt another presence running her way. She swiftly turned around and noticed Johnny, running for the door. She pressed the button to keep the door open so Johnny could get in and he ran into the wall to stop his momentum.

"That was incredibly stupid flame brain." Eri chuckled slightly.

"Ya pant whatever huff." Johnny's breathing eventually became normal and they continued on their way up to the 5th and 6th floors.

In between the 3rd and 4th floors the elevator stopped and the lights went out.

"What's going on?!" Johnny shouted and banged on the door.

"The powers out." Eri whispered softly. "They're coming back for me..." She began to shiver slightly.

"Eri? Eri? Eri what's wrong?" Johnny whispered while gripping the younger girls shoulders. She had slid down the wall and now had her arms wrapped around herself as if trying to warm herself up.

"They're coming back..." She whispered again her eyes wide with fear.

"What are you talking about? Are you talking about the men that assisted your brother?" Johnny asked sounding extremely worried.

"They've come to finish what my brother started..." hissed Eri in her scared voice.

"They're not going to get you. I won't let them!" Johnny shouted and looked into Eri's eyes. He saw her again, that young girl that had been in Eri's room. The one that had taken over Eri's body, the young Eri from the past. She was curled up in a defensive ball and she was shivering as her body racked with her sobs. She was scared, Johnny could see it clearly now, in the dim light of the elevator he could see, all the years fear. Everything she had ever known had been ripped away from her and she had been left in the dark, with nothing. "I won't let them, I promise." Johnny whispered and hugged Eri tightly.

At first, the younger girl didn't move. She was paralyzed with fear and it took her a while to register the fact that Johnny was even touching her. When she finally felt his arms around her, his warm embrace, his protection, she hugged back and let a few tears fall. He cared about her she may not be as alone as she thought she was. They stayed like that for a while and suddenly the power came back on and the elevator started moving. Johnny helped Eri up and they stood in silence for a while longer before Eri broke it in a soft voice.

"Johnny? Let's keep this between us. You might know the real me, but, no one else does, not yet." Her voice broke through his own thoughts.

"Alright. But I promised, that I wouldn't let them have you, and I keep my promises." Johnny said as the doors began to open for the 5th floor.

"I know." Eri said with a smile. And as Johnny looked into the depths of her piercing green eyes once more, he saw that little girl, waving at him. "Thank you." The little girl mouthed and the doors began to close.

"Eri are you alright? The power went out and we were all so worried because no one knew where you were!" Chi's excitedly worried voice broke through Johnny's trance just as the doors closed.

Yes, he would keep this to himself.
